Seven Evil Slips Chapter 27:
Cao Yanhua hadn't been able to adapt to this sudden "change" until he pulled out the camp, left the mountain, boarded the car, and returned to the hotel.
Really quit?
That's right, at first he was the one who jumped the most and yelled the loudest. As expected, there would be quarrels, reprimands, sleeves and shoving. Unexpectedly, Luo Ren didn't even frown, so refreshing Confidently echoed the sentence "the opinion is the same, let's quit".
Couldn't be like this?
Entering the room, Luo Ren threw the bag aside, sat down on the sofa with Da Lala, holding the remote control in his hand, and casually switched channels.
Variety shows, TV dramas, news, one after another, I glanced at them all standing, and said: "Now there is a lot of time, play whatever you want, don't all stand."
Muyo went to take a bath, Yan Hongsha was washing clothes, Cao Yanhua grabbed Yiwansan: "Brother Sansan, brother Luo, you must have been irritated, so why don't you... quit?"
10,000 squinted at him: "Isn't this what you want? Didn't you cry and say no?"
Cao Yanhua stammered: "But... But we can't be so hasty, we have to have a formal ending."
"If you quit, it's the end."
13,000 didn't bother to talk to him, and really "do what you want", and went online to help Cao Jiefang search for a cure for the hangover.
Cao Yanhua peeked at it, and it said——
1. Wash and shred Chinese cabbage root, add vinegar and sugar, mix well, marinate for 10 minutes and eat.
2. Squeeze juice from celery or Sydney.
3. Anti-alcohol medicine imported from Japan, available on Taobao...
Cao Yanhua didn't worry about it anymore, Kiyo came out after washing, plugged in the hair dryer, and the buzzing sound of small electrical appliances sounded, and he kept walking around Kiyo.
"Little master, brother Luo is angry, right? For such a big matter, it doesn't mean that if you don't do it, you won't do it."
Kiyo stopped the hair dryer and ran his hands through his hair: "Then you want to die?"
"No no no, I don't want to."
Cao Yanhua's head shook like a rattle.
"Then I have no choice but to quit. You can play whatever you want. If you have nothing to do, I will teach you kung fu at night."
Cao Yanhua had no choice but to look for Yan Hongsha again.
Yan Hongsha was standing by the sink, gnashing her teeth as she rubbed her clothes - she lay on the tree all night, the clothes were stained with gum, it was so sticky that it was hard to wash.
Said: "Cao Fatty, you are really awkward, if you don't do it, don't do it, why don't you enjoy yourself?"
It's really not good. Counting it, I have been chasing fierce Jane for more than half a year, and it was cut off suddenly, without giving a reasonable end. Cao Yanhua felt strange and empty.
Aren't angry words meant to vent, refresh and reconcile, how can you take it seriously?
He wandered back and forth in the living room a few times, and cautiously suggested: "Or, let's call Mr. God?"
***
Shen Stick still lives in Youwu Town.
It’s not that Guansi Pailou has not been studied. In his words, “People who have never lived here don’t know the benefits of this place. , alone at night, eerie, as if there is a ghost, don't mention how exciting it is."
So, since Luo Ren and the others haven't summoned him yet, he is also happy to be at ease, and he can live for a day.
This person is really a little... abnormal.
However, after so many days, the few people have gotten used to it, and they can continue to talk about any kind of conversation with him.
Kiyo asked him: "Do you have a home? If not, you can live in Youwu Town for a long time. Anyway, I don't go there very often - I don't charge you rent, you just clean and check the door , by the way, do research and write books. If you want to go out, lock the door and go out, no one will interfere with you."
The magic stick was so moved: "Really? Little Pocket, do you mean what you say?"
He was as happy as no one was around: "I'll have a house soon? It's so big, bigger than Xiaomaomao's inn! There is also a fish pond, such a big yard, where you can grow vegetables..."
Cao Yanhua had to interrupt him: "Mr. God, take it easy, we have something to do here."
He explained the progress here in detail, and when he finished speaking, he looked up and saw the huge, golden sunset outside the window, feeling very sad: another day is going to pass.
The magic stick was not particularly surprised, and said: "Actually, I guessed that way at the beginning."
"After all, ancient times are different from modern times. The so-called 'there are five classics in rituals, don't pay more attention to sacrifices'. In order to 'be blessed by God', you will definitely offer precious sacrifices."
Cao Yanhua couldn't hold back his anger again: "Then let people die? Why?"
The stick said: "The way you think now has something to do with the era you live in and the education you have received, but it was different in the past. Maybe at the earliest time, those people thought that being able to offer sacrifices to the Phoenix Luan, It is an honorable thing to sacrifice the life of one person to save all the people from the fire and water, scrambling to be the dead man. Even if it is not voluntary, "the king ordered the minister to die, and the minister had to die", the authoritative person said, I will obey orders obediently."
This... is really not sure.
In ancient China, to a certain extent, it was a Confucian society. Some foreign commentators commented that "Chinese classical Confucianism emphasizes that the collective is higher than the individual, authority is higher than freedom, and responsibility is greater than rights." At that time, the face of the individual was blurred They are submerged under the siege of clan, family, country, monarch, etiquette, and loyalty.
Mainstream public opinion believes that death is not terrible, but it depends on whether it can be more important than leaving a name in the history of Mount Tai.
The so-called publicity of personality, pursuit of self, emphasis on personal spirit and precious life are more products of modern civilized society.
Cao Yanhua said: "Then why do you have to kill people?"
The **** stick replied: "Probably because life is the most precious thing for everyone. Being able to offer life is a testament to the sincerity of the heart. If you don't do it, don't do it. I also think that it is too much for people to die. It's too much - but, there are some things that need to be dealt with first."
Give it up—the number of Qi Qi must expire—the fierce Jane that has been subdued is scattered again—the five people bear the brunt, and they will change from the original hunters to the prey.
The cheetah's offensive was so powerful that it still lingers in people's hearts. There is really nothing to look forward to in the future. Round after round of sinister and overwhelming, it only depends on which round and year a few people can survive.
13,000 murmured: "tmd even hope is gone, the countdown is a fart, it's endless."
He didn't want to answer the phone anymore, so he bent down and picked up Cao Jiefang who was next to him: "Go, Jiefang, let's not hangover, let's go drink another two catties. Fatty, are you going? Go to the restaurant and order the last drink." Expensive food. Erhuo, let’s make it up for your birthday, let’s not save money, in case Gabang dies one day, the money has not been spent yet, it’s too bad.”
Looking at Luo Ren again: "I won't call you anymore, let's live together with the little proprietress, go to a movie, walk on the road or something, the good days are not many, and every day is less and less."
…
The door slammed shut, and as soon as they left, the room became much quieter. The phone's call button was unyieldingly lit, and Luo Ren asked the magic stick on the other end: "Are you still there?"
"At."
"Aren't you going to say something inspiring?"
The magic stick held back for a long time, and said: "Little carrot, don't die."
The words of encouragement are so straightforward, even though Kiyo is depressed, he still laughs out loud.
Let her smile, but the magic stick slipped away.
"Don't die, let me tell you, as long as you live, you can try hundreds of ways, whether it works or not, but if you die, there will be only one result, buried underground."
Luo Ren hummed: "It makes sense."
"In ancient China, there is a saying that life can be saved from adversity. Generally, the greatest turning point is often hidden in the most hopeless situation. It's just that too many people can't think about it, and they are looking for death at the door. Little radish, take another hit, Maybe life will come."
Luo Ren laughed loudly and said, "I've known you for so long, this is the most pleasing thing to say."
He pressed the phone, got up and put on his coat, looked at Kiyo and said, "Let's go."
"Why go?"
"Go to the movies."
***
There is only one movie theater in Tong County, and the windows are full of posters. When you glance over, there is nothing you like. Kiyo asked Luo Ren: "Can I not watch the movie?"
"Okay, you can do whatever you want."
"I want to take a walk and talk."
"Let's go."
The roads in the small county town are unpaved, and after a short walk, we arrived at the outskirts of the county. There was a forest that stretched all the way to the mountain, and the pavement was paved with tiles. Reminder: "Don't go in when you're in love, there was a young couple who was robbed two days ago."
Kiyo beamed with joy: "Really?"
Watched by the sanitation worker's puzzled eyes, she walked in with Luo Ren on her arm, thinking to herself: "It would be great if I really met a robber."
Luo Ren laughed at her: "Show off that you have kung fu? Then let's sum it up, we really met, you do it, or should I do it?"
If there were real robbers, it would be bad luck for eight lifetimes to rob the two of them.
Kiyo said: "Don't, if you really meet, you run away. If you want to run, you will be very scared and frustrated, like a very cowardly scumbag who lost his girlfriend when he was in danger."
What does this mean? Luo Ren frowned.
The more Kiyo said, the more excited he became: "I just stamped my feet and cursed at you for being courageous, then cried and pretended to be very scared, so that the robbers would be very proud and come up to arrest me, so I ran away .”
"Anyway, my body is good, and he won't be able to catch me if he runs to death. If he gets tired from running, I'll climb a tree."
The robber will probably go crazy, and he might look up at her with tears in his eyes, holding a knife in his hand, and say, big girl, don’t cheat like this, I’ll just rob you, it’s easy for me...
There is a stone chair by the side, Luo Ren pulls her to sit down, Muyo is still immersed in the drama he directed, and can't stop laughing.
Tired from laughing, she took advantage of the situation and lay down on Luo Ren, her head resting on the handle of the stone chair. Pad passed.
Spontaneously, like a habit.
In the darkness, Kiyo smiled, those secret joys swelled and opened like flower buds in her heart, she stopped playing around, and looked at the sky quietly on his arm.
Today is not a good day, not a single star.
She asked Luo Ren: "You really quit?"
"Yeah."
"Why?"
Luo Ren lowered his head, stretched out his hand to gently cover her face, his fingertips touched her eyelashes, itching, her light and warm breath was in the palm, and the edge of the palm was soft, it was her slight Moist lips brushed.
He lowered his hand and held it lightly, as if he was holding all the beautiful feelings of the moment in his palm.
"You know when I was in the Philippines, why I never punched to the death?"
"It's also risking your life to make money. Why did you choose to rescue the hostages instead of being a kidnapper?"
"Kiyo, everyone has an expectation for themselves. I am not a saint. I have done wrong things, stupid things, wrong words and deeds, and wrong judgments. But in my heart, I still hope that I can be a Nice guy."
"I don't fight to the death, no matter how fanatical other people are. I tell myself that there is no grudge or enmity, it is only for winning or losing one game, and I have no right and cannot take a life away."
"Hired kidnappers get money faster, but I don't want to. I would rather work harder. Even if I make enemies, I hope that what I do is to follow the right path and be worthy of my conscience."
He laughed.
"It's actually ridiculous. In a place like Medan, the bullets fired are always fatal. At this time, you still have to decide whether you are right or not. It's more or less like setting up an archway."
"But I still insist, because in a place where human nature is lacking and everything is talked about with force and money, it is easy for people to live as a piece of rotten meat that can only breathe, but if you have a bottom line, at least you will live a good life. Bones."
"I have persisted like this, so I know that it is not easy to be a good person, and you will be bullied and used by people with ulterior motives."
"It's okay to be bullied, but God shouldn't be bullied. What Cao Pangpang said is also what I want to say. The five of us, subduing the evil Jane, may not have a noble motive, but at least we have no conscience. If it is If you end up dead, God will come to bully you, so I won't accept it."
He raised his head and looked at the dark night sky, as if exhaling a long breath, he said loudly: "It's a big deal and I won't do it."
Kiyo laughed and imitated him, put his hands around his mouth, and shouted to the sky: "If you dare to bully me, believe it or not, I will quit!"
***
When I returned to the room, it was already very late, I swiped my card, pushed the door open, and my face smelled of alcohol.
Luo Ren immediately became amused: "Ten thousand three is really not kidding with me. He talked about drinking, and he really drank."
Looking at the room again, I can't laugh or cry.
Cao Yanhua's limbs were spread out like a big crab, occupying ten percent of a tea table, his face was flushed, and he was sound asleep.
10,000 wrapped a towel in his hands, like an Arab, sitting cross-legged on the ground, with a plastic bag of celery in his hand, and was tearing a piece, as if carefully peeling a banana, and said to Cao Jiefang in front of him: "Come, liberate, eat and drink."
Cao Jiefang stretched his neck, probably because he wanted to eat it, but he chewed it all by himself.
Is this what it's like to be drunk? Kiyo covered his stomach and squatted down with a smile. After a while, he stood up, took out his phone, and started shooting videos.
Luo Ren frowned: "If you are like this, it's not good to add trouble to the situation, right?"
Kiyo tilted his head: "What's the matter?"
"Closer and close-up."
Kiyo understood, and tiptoed over, the camera was just pointing at the face of ten thousand, suddenly there was a loud roar from the bedroom: "Give me strength!"
Kiyo was so frightened that his hands shook, and the phone fell to the ground with a bang.
That was Yan Hongsha's voice.
Luo Ren was so angry, he went over and opened the door, Yan Hongsha was sitting on the bed in the bedroom, seven wooden slips surrounded his body like playing cards, the Phoenix Luan clasp was like armbands, all covered on his arms , raised his head, and raised his hands to the sky, as if praying.
God, that's not how it works.
Luo Ren held back a smile and looked down at Yan Hongsha's face.
Her expression is very resolute, not pious.
Luo Ren said: "Why do you want to rebel?"
Yan Hongsha was mysterious, she raised her finger to her lips, and said, "Hush, I'm looking for the seventh evil letter."
Luo Ren lowered his voice: "How to find it?"
"I told you, you can't tell the Japanese devils."
Luo Ren couldn't help it anymore, he burst out laughing.
…
It took Muyo and Luo Ren a lot of effort to settle Yi San and Yan Hongsha, and Shi San held on to the celery tightly, just like holding a gold bar, Luo Ren had to drag him along with the vegetables Throw it on the bed, as for Yan Hongsha, after falling asleep, she is still full of energy, she will suddenly turn over and sit up, her eyes are as bright as light bulbs.
"Kiyo, we have already got the Phoenix Luan buckle."
Kiyo said: "Yes yes, you lie down."
"The phoenix clasp will greatly increase our strength, and we will soon find the seventh evil letter."
"Yes yes, found it soon."
"You can't give it to the Japanese!"
"Okay, I promise."
…
I don't know how long it took before Yan Hongsha fell into a deep sleep. Kiyo kept curling up in the quilt and laughing, so that when he fell asleep, there was still a smile on his face.
***
Dream again.
The foggy hotel room, the narrow, disproportionately black shadows, the rustling sound, revealing the obvious panic.
——She found it, and almost found it.
—No, no, no, she couldn't guess.
——It's there, it's there!
Kiyo turned over, barefooted, walked towards the corner of the living room through the cool mist.
——She found it, and she was about to find it!
She stopped at the sofa in the corner, where someone was sleeping, and she heard low and slow breathing.
There is no light, no moon, just mist and darkness to interfere with vision.
Kiyo's hands fumbled on the coffee table, and found the ashtray, and the matches beside it, which were provided by the hotel.
With a chirp, the faint sulfur gas dispersed in the mist, the slender and white matchsticks, and the hazy yellow ones danced around the caps, occasionally mixed with faint blue flames.
In the light opened by the small flame, she finally saw clearly.
That is Luo Ren's face.
