Seven Evil Slips:

Kiyo dawdled until the next morning before hesitatingly told Uncle Zhang that he wanted to go out.

Uncle Zhang didn't say a word for a while, and after a while he said, "Muyo, come here, I want to talk to you."

He took Muyo to the back of the bar. There were two rows of chairs on the open space. Cao Yanhua was practicing running in circles not far away. , seems to have made progress.

Uncle Zhang told Kiyo: "Sit, sit."

This posture seemed too formal, and Kiyo sat anxiously.

Uncle Zhang said: "Your Uncle Zhang watched you grow up. His words may not be pleasant, but they are all for your own good. If he didn't love you from the bottom of his heart, he would not use these words to stab you .”

"Muyo, you were adopted by Huo Zihong, because the age difference is not that big, so you call her aunt, not even a daughter."

Muyo's ears were buzzing, she vaguely knew what Uncle Zhang was going to say.

"Even if it's your own, if you don't like it, you'll be kicked out if you don't like it, let alone this." Uncle Zhang sighed, "Look at this house, every brick and every tile, you can see it. They belong to the proprietress. In other words, they belong to someone else. Although she let go of her words, it belongs to you for the time being, but if she turns her face one day, what do you have?"

Kiyo hummed, looked up at the eaves of the house and said nothing: someday Huo Zihong really doesn't want her anymore, she is not qualified to leave the house, she has so many debts, for so many years, food, Everything you use and wear is a debt.

It's not that she doesn't have such a consciousness, but maybe Huo Zihong is too kind to her, she will always forget about it.

"When you grow up, you can work. In private, I hope that you can do things decently, have your own income, and have money in your hands, so that you can stand up straight. If nothing else, just Let's say 13,000, he's a fool, I don't like him, but at least he's working to earn money."

Well, it's not only 13,000, even Cao Yanhua, who rushes to help the bar every day, pays a meager salary, but she is the only one who takes the plate and orders when she is in the mood, feeling unhappy Just shake your hands and walk away.

After moving to Lijiang, she lived a leisurely and peaceful life, so eroded that she even forgot the restlessness of not being able to sleep earlier.

Tears seemed to come out again, but she smiled and held back.

Uncle Zhang also stared at Kiyo.

No matter how innocent and kind-hearted people are, they all have little scheming. Doesn't Kiyo have it? She also has it.

Uncle Zhang remembers that when Huo Zihong first wanted to adopt a child, he didn't immediately choose Kiyo, but Kiyo was very obedient, standing quietly by himself with his finger in his mouth, Huo Zihong glanced at her occasionally, she just laugh.

Huo Zihong later said, "I'm so embarrassed to laugh."

Finally received by her side, she acted cautiously, doing whatever she was asked to do, sweeping the floor with a broom that was taller than herself, and Uncle Zhang moved a box, she insisted on helping to move it together, when she was carrying it, she suffocated Huo Zihong's face turned red, especially when eating at the table. When Huo Zihong said which dish was delicious, she immediately stopped picking it up, and she never took the initiative to pick up meat.

Once, Uncle Zhang called her to the kitchen and gave her a bowl of spare ribs. She looked at the bowl and then at Uncle Zhang uneasily, finally grinned, and happily ate it.

It's not that I don't like meat.

After getting acquainted for a while, Uncle Zhang secretly asked her why, she treated Uncle Zhang as her own, and quietly shared her little secret with him: "Auntie taught me to be diligent when you come to someone's house, and don't eat a lot of meat, meat is expensive , if people think you can eat, they will send you back."

Just a few words made Uncle Zhang sad for a long time. Why is such a small child so humble? They are all forced out. If they were born in a well-to-do family, their parents would be so careful ?

Sometimes when you think about it, people are not born equal. You have a lot less than others from the beginning, so you have to be careful and smile to earn.

Uncle Zhang said: "Do you still remember what you told me, you said that your mother doesn't want you anymore, and Aunt Hong doesn't want you, so you have to be good. But Kiyo, you are too attached to a People, there is always a risk of being abandoned. You have to stand up straight, so that one day the boss lady doesn’t want you and drives you out, you won’t stand in the heavy rain and cry, you will go back to your house, the same There are tiles to cover the head."

"I can see that you are not interested in the bar business, but you have to think about how to establish yourself. This is a major event in life. Of course, you can go to Guangxi if you want. I will follow you I said this because I am afraid that you will not be able to get back your playfulness, but not to make you unhappy."

Long after Uncle Zhang left, Kiyo was still sitting on the row of chairs. Of course the human body grows slowly, but the mind does not. Randomly glancing at the scene and mentioning it is like hearing a lion's roar, which is enlightening.

Luo Ren is to hire Ting, ten thousand is to go home, what about her? Just to help? She is really a kind person, Kiyo sighed: Indeed, from all aspects, she is quite wrong with the past.

She hooked her hands at Cao Yanhua, and Cao Yanhua came over huffing and puffing, his cheeks were sweating, and he looked even fatter.

It is true that Cao Pangpang is better than her. At first he thought he wanted to learn martial arts just to talk about it, but he really persisted day by day.

Kiyo felt that he had to look up to him.

"Fatty Cao, if I want to make money, what do you think I should do?"

Cao Yanhua thought she was teasing herself: "Little master, are you kidding me? You still need to make money? You have such a big bar, and if you marry a rich man, the money will flap its wings and fly towards you, okay? "

As he spoke, he fluttered his arms, which were tied with iron plates, and the lifting range was limited, fluttering like a clumsy fat goose.

Kiyo told him with his expression that he was not joking.

Cao Yanhua finally took her words seriously: "Little master, I think that the right person should be placed in the right position, and they should do jobs that can maximize their strengths. In terms of my current skills, I am actually suitable for being a thief..."

Kiyo glanced at him.

Cao Yanhua changed the topic with self-knowledge: "Little master, your kung fu is your label. You can open a training class to recruit apprentices. At that time, I will be a big brother..."

Thinking of the scene where a group of coquettish junior junior sisters surrounded him and called him senior senior brother, Cao Yanhua's mind was agitated for a while.

Do what you are good at?

Kiyo was thoughtful.

***

He said as soon as possible, but when Luo Ren finished his work, it was already afternoon.

He explained a lot to Uncle Zheng, time was limited, and the conveyor belt was too late to install, but the infrared probe, reinforced doors and windows, etc., were still in detail. The screen of the probe was in Uncle Zheng's room, and Luo Ren taught him what to do. See, how to send the video to yourself when necessary.

Give him another phone number and tell him that if Ping Ting's condition is wrong, he must call the doctor to come over and give him an injection.

So many things happened before and after, even if he didn't fully know the inside story, he still knew about it. Zheng Bo was very uncomfortable, and finally said: "Luo Xiaodao, please."

Please two words, it weighs a thousand catties, after all, it is not a family, Zheng Bo represents Luo Wenmiao, and also represents Pin Ting, please.

Luo Ren said: "I will do my best."

Towards the evening, he packed up and drove to the appointed place. Both Shizuan and Kiyo were there, but only Shizuan was carrying the luggage.

Luo Ren's heart moved.

Sure enough, when Yiwan got into the car, Kiyo stood still. Luo Ren knew that she couldn't speak, so he smiled and let her go down the steps: "I know that Uncle Zhang won't let you. The sky must be diligent."

I was arguing to go, but at the end of the day, I broke the appointment. Kiyo blamed me for losing face, as if to make up for it: "If there is anything, you can call me."

"Call me and ask you to hurry over and help open the door?"

Kiyo couldn't laugh, so he told Tenwan: "Be honest on the road, don't play tricks, don't lie again."

13,000 sneered: "Did you take the wrong medicine? You mature overnight, just like my mother..."

It seemed that she wanted to complain about her mother-in-law, but she suddenly stopped talking.

Luo Ren glanced at him calmly, and before driving, he said to Kiyo, "When you come back, I will bring you a pearl necklace."

Kiyo nodded, thought for a while and said, "It's not too expensive, just bring something to play with. If it's too expensive, I can't afford it."

After driving out for a long time, Luo Ren was still thinking about her words. This seemed to be the first time that Kiyo was so serious on the issue of whether it was expensive or not.

In the rearview mirror, Ten Thousand was almost lying horizontally and vertically, bored, and asked him, "Is there any smoke?"

Luo Ren seldom smokes, but he keeps them all year round for other people. He threw a cigarette to 13,000 and asked him seemingly inadvertently: "What is that, why did you knock it on?" Drop it?"

13,000 opened the window, lit the cigarette with a click, took a puff against the wind, and exhaled the smoke again: "Because when my dad died, oh, I didn't tell you, did I? When he died, the old patriarch saw it, so he couldn't be saved."

***

He overheard these words when his mother was buried.

Suddenly lost his parents, the elder patriarchs took care of the funeral. Apart from worshiping the ancestors, the ancestral hall was only opened for weddings, funerals and birthday celebrations. In just one month, he entered the ancestral hall for the second time.

It was a quiet night, a full moon night, and the villagers gathered in the courtyard of the ancestral hall. The mother's body was placed on a bamboo bed beside it, covered with a white cloth, with only a few strands of hair sticking out.

Everyone chatted in groups of three and four.

——"It's a good boat, how can it capsize..."

——"It's no wonder that women can't go into the sea, but don't let the dragons below capsize the boat..."

Jiaolong Jiaolong, ancestors have been talking about Jiaolong for generations, as if someone has actually seen it.

Someone else said: "In the past few years, fewer and fewer beads have been produced, but don't be tired of the village that can't produce beads..."

Anyway, it's not my own person who died, two lives are not worth a few pearls.

13,000 was squatting beside the bamboo bed, his ears were full of noises, and his mouth moving and chattering on his face looked disgusting. He stood up nervously, covered his ears and went to the enshrining tablet. Walking in the sacrificial hall, the yellow veil for the confession hung down to the ground, and he went in as soon as he lifted the veil.

It's much darker in front of my eyes, and the world has become much quieter.

But there were still buzzing voices drifting in, and after an unknown period of time, the sound of chaotic footsteps came in, and then the sound of Gaza Gazamen. Whenever the old patriarch and the others had important discussions, it would be like this: Miscellaneous people are kept outside the door, and only those who can talk can enter the sacrificial hall. A small village has such a strict hierarchy.

He heard the old patriarch clear his throat: "Let's discuss what to do after Jiang Zhao. After all, we still have to eat and go to school. There is a lot of money. What I mean is that meals just take turns. , one family eats. The money is shared equally by each family.”

The few people around agreed, and he basically recognized their voices. It was strange, except for the old patriarch, the others were not in charge.

After a pause, the old patriarch said: "What about you, Jiang Liu, you are making a statement."

Oh, Jiang Liu, the famous old picker in the village.

Jiang Liu finally made a statement, but it wasn't for the sake of cheating: "I have no objection to spending money and efforts. But in my heart... I don't feel at ease. You said you killed someone, but you made his son trade in front of your eyes all day long." !”

The old patriarch sternly stopped: "Fart! He fell by himself!"

Jiang Liu's voice dropped an octave when the old patriarch said this: "It's true that he fell, but when he was twitching in the water, we all...saw it..."

Another person came out to smooth things over: "Didn't you say that at that time, you may not be able to save them, let alone..."

His voice suddenly lowered: "The sacrifice is not in vain... We have grasped this sea..."

Thirteen's mind went blank.

It took him a long time to figure out what happened: his father fell into the water, had sudden cramps, and when he was struggling, even though the scene was chaotic, the old patriarch and several other people saw it, but under the meeting of eyes, there was a silent The deal was concluded just like that, or because of hesitation caused by selfish calculations, things couldn't be saved.

Two villages are vying for the sea. Even if they fall into the water, they must be pushed down by people from another village. Zhu Cun has it.

The old patriarch's voice was excited: "It may not be possible to save him back then, let's talk about it! He didn't die in vain, and he was also a hero of our Wuzhu Village. We took good care of Jiang Zhao and let Lao Jiangtou close his eyes."

…

The conversation did not continue, because the door of the sacrificial hall was suddenly slapped, and there was an excited voice: "Patriarch! The old clam is enjoying the moon! There are more than a dozen people on the beach. Ah!"

…

It is said that pearls are born in deep water, and when the moon is full, they open their shells to receive the moonlight, absorb the moonlight, and transform into pearls.

Wuzhu Village calls this scene the Old Mussel Sunning the Moon.

But in recent years, there have been fewer and fewer mussels, and this scene has become more and more rare. It is rare for elderly people to see it, let alone "more than a dozen in a row".

Noisy footsteps running out, the originally noisy ancestral hall suddenly became quiet like a dead city.

13,000 got out from under the yellow curtain, and walked to the yard of the ancestral hall with one foot deep and one foot shallow. White cloth, the mother showed most of her face outside, the corners of her mouth drooped, but the more she looked at it, the more she looked like a weird smile.

San Wan stood in the empty courtyard, suddenly poked his neck up and cursed: "I'm going to **** your mother!"
