Chapter 286: Drifting Away
When the three uncles heard this, they all stood up, their eyes extremely shocked.
"Brother Yang...... You ......," Uncle Tiger said in disbelief, "you could have left a long time ago, could you?!" You've been accumulating the Tao for us?! ”
"I said I didn't have a family, we ate at the same table, so we're family." Brother Aries said as he took out three more pieces of paper from his pocket.
"It's just a pity, Tianlong knows that all the "Dao" is earned by me, so he only gave two "Zodiac Ascension Betting Contracts", plus a "Interview Room Collaboration Contract". Brother Aries spread the white paper on the table, "You three can pick your favorite lots...... Willing to fight to become a "prefecture-level"...... Or are you willing to be a helper who never needs to turn in the Tao...... It's up to you......"
The three uncles looked up at the white paper on the table, and they were all a little apprehensive.
"Whichever path you choose......," said Brother Aries, "I will always be here to wait for you, and I will take care of the rats for some time." After all, there are many roads in this world, and everyone has their own one. ”
The three uncles looked at each other, all of them seemingly hesitating what to choose.
After a long time, Uncle Black Sheep reached out and took a "Zodiac Ascension Betting Contract", then signed his name, and then folded the contract in half.
I know that the "zodiac" can never reveal his real name.
Now there is only one "Zodiac Ascension Gambling Contract" and one "Interview Room Collaboration Contract".
Uncle Tiger and Uncle Snake seemed even more hesitant.
"Little Huzi, you go out." Uncle Snake was silent for a while and said, "I feel like I'm doing well here, I'll accompany Brother Yang and the mouse again." ”
"What the hell!" Uncle Tiger scolded, "Why the don't you go out?" What about your family? ”
"Hey......" Uncle Snake waved his hand, "I've made too many mistakes, where can I still see my family...... Just let me live here. ”
Without waiting for Uncle Tiger to react, he immediately snatched the "Interview Room Collaboration Contract", and then bit his thumb and pressed a bloody handprint.
"Your mother......" Uncle Tiger slowly stood up, "Why are you making a decision for Lao Tzu?!" I haven't decided whether to go out yet! ”
"Good boy, money loser, go see your daughter." Uncle Snake smiled and said, "It doesn't matter how many years it takes...... I have to see her. ”
"You ......" Uncle Tiger gasped, looking extremely angry.
"Oh...... Don't be so angry! Uncle Snake said, "As long as you don't die in the interview room, we can still meet every night!" ”
Uncle Tiger sat down slowly, with a dejected expression on his face.
I don't know exactly what happened...... But I also seem to be sad, I feel like I'm moving away from them......
"Rat, don't show that face." "It won't be long...... These uncles of yours have become as good as I am. ”
"Ah......?" I looked at him, "Really, really?" ”
"Well, they're all excellent." Brother Aries nodded.
From that day on, the atmosphere between the five of us seemed to change a little.
Uncle Tiger and Uncle Black Sheep have a strong smell of rust on their bodies every time they come back.
They don't seem to want to talk to me anymore...... Every time I talk to them, their eyes are dodging.
What's wrong with them?
Fortunately, Uncle Snake is willing to talk to me...... He told me that Uncle Tiger and Uncle Black Sheep were in a bad mood and that they were doing things they didn't like to do.
But he wouldn't tell me what it was.
Such days lasted for about a year.
This year, I didn't even have a single participant in the game.
My warehouse is small and remote, and although I collect a lot of clutter from the neighborhood to fill my warehouse, no one comes to play with it.
When I think about it, I don't seem to have received a single "participant" after the game took shape, which makes me feel a little lost.
The temperament of Uncle Tiger and Uncle Black Sheep is also slowly changing...... Their masks seem to be getting more and more realistic.
Finally, one day half a year later, Uncle Black Sheep completely changed.
When he came back that day, I found him just like my brother Aries...... The sheep's head on the face is no longer a mask, but a real sheep's head.
It is said that Uncle Black Sheep has spent a very short time in this state to this state, breaking all the records of the "zodiac".
A year and a half...... Is it still short?
On that day, he made a special trip to thank his brother Aries, and packed his things to leave the room.
Brother Aries stopped him, and the two whispered a few words, but their expressions seemed to be a little unpleasant.
Since then, Uncle Black Sheep has never been to this room again.
The only ones who come back every few days are Uncle Snake and Uncle Tiger.
I feel like our "family" is slowly falling apart...... I don't know what to do, so I can only help Brother Aries clean his room whenever I have time......
I did all the chores I could do, hoping to make them look happier.
But they all seem to have a lot on their minds, and I don't know how to help them.
Uncle Tiger has rarely spoken to me...... I don't even know what to do with him, is he mad at me?
That day, I ran into Sister Ruoxue again, and she came to play with me and gave me a bag of snacks.
I didn't want to eat it, so I brought it to Uncle Tiger after work, and although I didn't know where I made him unhappy, I hoped he wouldn't be angry with me.
But he looked at the bag of snacks and just took it silently, still not talking to me.
I felt like crying, but when I think about it, Uncle Tiger and I are not related, and he shouldn't have taken care of me all the time......
Brother Aries doesn't seem to be quite right, he has always been a very serious person in my impression.
But lately, he seems to have been wandering a lot.
What was he thinking?
Half a year later, the change happened again.
That day, as usual, we went to Brother Aries' room for dinner.
Although the atmosphere of the meal is becoming more and more silent day by day, I always feel more comfortable with them.
"Tiger, how many people are you missing?" Brother Aries asked.
"It's almost ...... There are only two people left in my house. Uncle Tiger replied.
"Then I probably won't be able to wait for you." Brother Aries looked up at the three of us, and then said meaningfully, "I'm leaving tonight." ”
"Today...... Tonight?! ”
Although we all know that this day will come, no one can accept that this day will come.
"That's right...... After tonight, I will be the goat who can freely enter and leave the "Land of the End". Brother Aries said with a wry smile, and then looked at us again, "You guys...... Don't have anything to say to me? ”
