The moon hangs high, and everything is silent.
Ling Bo sat alone in the listening water pavilion, sparkling on the waterhole, a round of bright moon shadows.
"What are you thinking?"
"Didn't Shanbi tell you" Ling Bo leaned on the railing with one hand on his cheek, staring blankly at the water.
I asked him, but he wouldn't answer me. "I sat down next to Limbo.
"What he said to me was exactly what I told you that afternoon. It's about studying pills. ”
I thought to myself, if it was an alchemy matter, Ling Bo's grandfather would oppose it, and Ling Bo would definitely not approve of it.
"Do what you want. Don't embarrass yourself."
"I want to hear your thoughts"
"Me?"
"Ahh
"To be honest, when I heard that Jie Zi Dan could increase his power by twenty years, I felt unfair. It's probably the same as your grandfather's idea, not very approves. But just now I thought about it again, things in the world, after all, have his fate, such as this martial arts, saying that it is good, can protect the family and defend the country. Saying it's not good, it's also a weapon for killing people. If there is really a meson pill out. Let people increase their skills for twenty years at once. It's really hard to say whether the world will go for good or bad. ”
"Are you for or against," she frowned, blaming me for not giving an opinion.
"Stabilize the board of directors first, yes. "I've always been bad at jumping to conclusions, and I'm always hesitant to do things, but I can't bear to refuse when I look at Ling Bo's pleading eyes. only then did he grit his teeth and come to a conclusion. In fact, I don't really agree with the research of Jie Zidan. But this is a good opportunity for her to regain power.
"Well, actually, that's what I thought. There's another very important reason I didn't tell you. ”
"What is the reason?"
"Shan Bi told me that last month, Bu Xiong from our board of directors approached him to develop Jie Zi Dan together. But he didn't say yes. You may not know much about the bear. He's the person on our board who holds the most shares besides me. In the past, when his grandfather was alive, he most often persuaded his grandfather to do research and development of banned drugs. was vetoed by grandpa. He didn't dare to oppose my grandfather, and now that he saw me as a girl, he joined forces with other directors to force me to develop a banned drug. ”
"That's right."
"But I'm still a little worried, I know that the mountain pen is very powerful, but after all, this is the meson gall that has increased the strength of twenty years, I don't know if the mountain pen has the strength to completely study it, I am worried that if the side effects are too big after the research, and those people will catch the handle, but put themselves in a desperate situation. ”
"I believe in the mountain pen. However, I don't think we can study it or not. Let's talk about taking back power. You and Shanbi agree on the terms, but the terms must indicate that the right to distribute the medicine must be on your side. The method of alchemy must not be passed on without your consent."
"In that case, will Shanbi still agree to cooperate with me? He used to be cold, feeling that he didn't care about anything. ”
"I think it should be no problem, I know this person Shanbi, and the reason why he went to develop Jie Zi Dan is not for utilitarianism. He's more of a ..... A kind of life satisfaction. ”
"If that's the case, then it's the best, then it's decided. Are you going back? ”
"It's a beautiful night tonight, so it's okay to sit a little longer. ”
54.
The next morning, I arrived at Limbo's office with my pen. He glanced at the contract and said only one sentence, as long as the funds are in place. Post-it signed. After breakfast, Ling Bo called Madoka over, and the two went to the company. Yamabi and I also left the Zhan Mansion.
On the way, I asked Shanbi with doubts: "Do you think this Jie Zidan has really been successfully developed?"
Yamabi's face is still as calm as ever.
"Yes"
"Ahh
"It's not fair! You're thinking too simply, no. ”
"What's wrong, isn't it. Is it fair that you can increase your strength for twenty years by eating one Jie Zi Dan?"
"Do you know why I didn't say yes to another person on her board?"
"I don't know, you look down on him?"
"Because he can't afford to pay it. A rare sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"I heard Limbo say that the person who had the most shares besides her. ”
"It's not difficult to refine the principle of this Jie Zi Dan, it's nothing more than fusing dozens of substances. The difficulty lies in the refining and fusion of these dozens of substances, and the purity must reach more than 98%. If you make the slightest mistake, you'll have to start the whole experiment all over again. If you want to refine a meson pill that increases the power of ten years, the cost of refining is at least more than one billion, and according to the current equipment conditions, the refining time is at least one year. ”
"Billion? How did you develop that twenty years of skill before that?"
"You don't have to worry about this"
I looked at him suspiciously.
"Now you know what it means to be fair," Yamabi ignored my eyes.
"I know something," I thought to myself, it's really unfair, there are a billion who still need twenty years of skill.
The car came out of Limbo's mansion and had to pass through a hillside. The road was empty, so Yamabi turned the car on autopilot and closed his eyes in contemplation. I think contemplation can be done at home, in the office, or in many other places, not necessarily in a moving car. But he liked it, and he felt that it was easiest to get inspiration from contemplating in a moving car.
I thought to myself, how did he not get into a car accident and get killed.
Sure enough, the car was about to enter the avenue when it crashed into a person. Under the sudden braking, Yamabi's forehead hit the steering wheel, and he woke up from his deep thought.
"What's wrong?"
"The car knocked someone down"
"What people"
"Didn't see clearly"
We got out of the car to see the people we had hit. Before I got closer, I smelled a strong smell of alcohol.
The man was wearing a blackened T-shirt that was black and unclear whether it was white or black, jeans with many holes underneath, and his face was lying on the ground. The hair is twisted together like an old mop.
There was no blood on the ground. The mountain pen touched the next vein for him. He was examined again.
"There are no injuries on my body and my heart rate is normal. ”
"Let's take him to the hospital for a check-up. ”
"Take my car?"
"You hit, of course do your car go. You don't want to fight again, do you? ”
"It stinks, I don't like people who drink. ”
"So what can you do, just throw it here and let the car behind you run over it?"
In the end, Shanbi agreed to take him to the hospital, but when I turned the drunk's body over, I was surprised that this person was actually Bai Chen. What is he doing here, I thought.
"You know?"
"He was my junior high school classmate, but now something is wrong with the relationship. Anyway, let's take him to the hospital first. ”
Shan Bi and I, one scratching the head and the other's feet, wanted to lift him, as if disturbing his sweet dreams. He shook his left hand, hit me on the arm, and shouted: "Get out, Lao Tzu wants to drink, don't worry about you, get out, get out——, Lao Tzu will wait for Ling Bo." ”
"Limbo?" asked Shanbi
He had a crush on Limbo, "I spread my hands helplessly.
Bai Chen heard this, and waved the wine bottle in his hand again: "Who said that it can't be done, I tell you, Ling Bo is my woman, mine"
"I think it should be otherwise," suggested Shanbi, "that he was not hurt, and dragged him to the side of the road and poured some cold water on him." It would be nice to let him sober up."
I thought to myself, Shanbi must be afraid that his car will be dirty. However, I also don't like to take Bai Chen to the hospital, if I wake up and fight with me, more is better than less, so I agree with Shanbi's point of view. dragged Bai Chen to the side of the road. Yamabi borrowed some ice and water from the shop next door.
The boss looked at Bai Chen and sighed: "Asking what the world is like, it only makes life and death promise." After speaking, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hands.
I think Bai Chen is really incomprehensible, he has met Ling Bo a few times, and it is said that he didn't even say a word, he was unrequited like this.
Shanbi took the water and poured it down in front of Bai Chen's head, without any pity.
"Just splash some on his face," I said pitifully as I looked at Bai Chen, who was drenched in soup.
"That's how you deal with drunken people," Yamabi replied coldly.
After Bai Chen was splashed with ice water, he was much more sober. Probably because of alcohol, he shook his head, knocked on the door of his head with the knuckle of his left hand, and looked blankly at the tiles on the side of the road. A cool breeze blew, falling yellowed dead leaves, one of which fell on Bai Chen's shoulder.
"He's awake, let's go," Yamabi said.
I nodded, and I wasn't hurt. At that moment, I guess I didn't hit anyone, but I was brought by the wind, maybe I was drunk in the first place. So Yamabi and I got in the car and left, but we just walked a few steps. Bai Chen suddenly shouted: "Stop"
I thought to myself, if he recognized me, and was going to be entangled again. It's not that I'm afraid of him, but if I see him, I'm going to fight and kill, and I'm really not interested in that. But when the other party called, he had to turn back.
"Lend me two hundred dollars," he said, tilting his head to the side of the road and extending his hand to us.
Shanbi glanced at me and gave him two hundred yuan. Bai Chen pinched the money in his hand, probably to thank him, he turned his head around, wanting to see the people who helped him.
Look at me, that tired, godless face. There are a lot of weird expressions.
He threw the money on the ground and slowly stood up. The bloodshot eyes, like a vicious wolf, looked at me and Shanbi.
"Are you okay?" I asked him, after all, he was a junior high school classmate, and to be honest, I didn't want to make the relationship so bad.
"You're going to see Limbo?" his face grew more and more terrifying, as if fangs had grown out of his mouth.
"There's something to do with her, not what you think, just to talk about something. "I want to explain as clearly as possible so that there is no misunderstanding.
"Did you spend the night over there?"
"It was one night, but not what you thought. There was nothing between me and Limbo. My friend can attest to...."I turned around and wanted to find Shanbi as a witness, but who knew that this bastard was actually lying on the car window watching the play.
Bai Chen grabbed the wine bottle next to him and threw it at me. After I dodged him, he screamed at me and rushed towards me like a mad dog. But fortunately, the anger of anger could not hide his drunken sorrow. He didn't take two steps before he tripped over the roots. I took the opportunity to run towards the car. Let the mountain pen drive quickly. I held my head out the window with guilt. I saw him lying on the ground motionless. I thought to myself, Bai Chen was so lonely.
