Chapter 78
Chapter 78
The weather was extremely hot, and the sky was full of dark clouds in the shape of horsetails and feathers, like a sick silkworm weaving its cocoon.The weather forecast says that the first typhoon of this year will sweep across Shanghai in two days. Citizens suffering from the high temperature are like old bachelors hoping for a bride to come to their homes as soon as possible, so as to save the heart-burning summer fire.
In the morning, Zhuang Xiaojie sat in the atrium garden of the office building to rest. The powerful enchantment of the central air conditioner blocked the heat wave from the glass curtain wall and helped the white-collar workers maintain their dignity.He holds the mobile phone in his left hand and a hamburger with a bite in his right. He got up late in the morning and didn't have time to eat breakfast. He came to work for two hours before ordering a takeaway from KFC. He wanted to eat fish in half an hour, but the plan It was broken by the bereavement call of the dog's tail grass.
"55555555 Daddy, don't quit the circle, what will we do if you leave? What's the point of staying in this circle without you, I won't do it anymore, just follow you and quit the circle, 5555555"
In the past few days, the dog tail grass has used the perseverance to call the master day and night, and sent several emotional and emotional long emails every day, and finally forced Zhuang Xiaojie, who was in a state of suspended animation, to leave the room. What came was a terrifying retreat.The emperor wanted to abandon the country, and the courtiers who were loyal to the country didn't feel pain. Before he finished talking about the dog's tail grass, they cried and burst into tears.
Zhuang Xiaojie guessed her reaction early in the morning, pitied her for her devotion, and spoke softly, trying to coax her, but who knew that the dog's tail grass was too sad, and the more she coaxed, the more she cried, he gradually became anxious, and said, "Don't just cry, Anyway, tell me back."
The dogtail sobbed a few times like dying, and then began to recite the poem with tears in his heart: "Don't lean on the railing alone, there is no limit to the mountains and rivers, sometimes it is easy to see, but sometimes it is difficult..." I don't know if I forgot the words or choked up and couldn't say it. Crying again.
Zhuang Xiaojie 囧 Lei: "Why are you doing this? I just retreated from the circle, and I didn't travel to another dimension. How could I not see each other? We can still be friends after leaving the circle."
These words seemed to have stimulated the dog's tail grass, she swallowed hard and wept bitterly, and then gritted her teeth and painstakingly recited a poem: "The hero has shed tears in the Central Plains, and the lord Yuan has no heart for the Northern Expedition."
Zhuang Xiaojie, who was engaged in literary work, knew that this was a poem written by Zhang Yining, a poet of the Ming Dynasty, who mourned the past, denounced the supreme ruler for living in peace, and did not think about the Northern Expedition for harming the country and the people. He got away.
"You idiot, can you use the thinking of a normal person to think about problems? I quit the circle not because I am afraid of anyone, but because I am completely bored with this circle. I don't want to ask this bunch of shit anymore, and I will concentrate on managing my own three-dimensional in the future. You can't Do you understand me?"
His tone was only slightly heavier, and the dog tail grass shouted with the stamina of Wen Sijian: "If you want to withdraw from the circle, don't pick this time. Now those gangsters are killing you. You are a jp. If you withdraw from the circle, you will be a jp." It's in their arms, let alone that you have confessed with a guilty conscience! You will be nailed to the pillar of shame and reviled forever and ever!"
Zhuang Xiaojie disdained: "Curse me if you want to. They don't know my real name and they only know my ID. That's the dead skin of a cicada. They can trample on it or burn it."
"No!" The dog's tail grass screamed like a chicken with its throat cut, Zhuang Xiaojie's left ear hurt, and he let out a slight hiss, and he heard her screaming over there as he threw the table and stomped his feet: "How can you say that! Do you know what the four words "three watch string broken" mean to us fans? We have spent so much effort and devoted so much emotion to support you, how can you throw away what we cherish with all our hearts? Let others ruin it? Besides, you spent ten years spelling out this id, don't tell me you don't feel bad at all!"
Stupid people have keen intuition and are best at poking people's painful feet. Zhuang Xiaojie was really angry, and cursed: "Heartache has ghosts, my three views have been shattered now, you know? People in this circle change their faces too quickly. Today With you and me, I can't wait to put you to death tomorrow, no matter how good the relationship is, I can't rely on it! I am an existence that is hated by thousands of people and scolded by thousands of people. Do you want me to die with my eyes wide open?"
He exposed his heart in a hurry, because the reality was too cruel. Going back for a week, who would have thought that Qin Guangling would tear him apart like this, and stabbed his intestines to death with a sharp knife, so that he still can't get out of serious injuries. The phantom array, the painful experience, the more I think about it, the more painful it becomes.
Just like a rattlesnake can't understand the toxicity of the Australian box jellyfish, he, who has always regarded himself as a villain, can't understand Qin Guangling's ruthlessness at the moment he hangs people.After all, they are friends who have been close to each other, after all, they have loved each other sincerely, even if they can't be a gentleman, they can't say bad words, and they can't be rumored, slandered, and wronged.He felt that the answer sheets he had analyzed human nature for many years had been turned into waste paper. He once had the confidence to play with people's hearts in the palm of his hand, but now he knows how big this idea is.Human nature is an equation that cannot be solved, and studying hard will only lead you into a trap.The human heart is an unfathomable black hole that will eventually swallow all who try to control it.After going through this catastrophe, he is like a fire starter who is sincerely afraid of these dangerous games. He can't afford to play them, but he can afford to hide them. He leaves the Two-dimensional arena and returns to the three-dimensional world to be a law-abiding grassroots person, which can greatly reduce the risk of heart failure and myocardial infarction. risk.
As a half-witness, Dogtail Grass, no matter how stupid she is, can understand a thing or two, and hurriedly expressed her loyalty to her master: "Daddy, there are so many people who love you, you can't destroy the whole chicken coop just for one bad guy, at least I will He Xiaoxiao and Zhuanjia are absolutely loyal to you, we will never betray you!"
Zhuang Xiaojie sighed: "I believe that you will not turn against me, but I also don't want you to be threatened by people with knives all the time. I have become a notorious emotional liar, and the scandal has even spread outside the circle. Every move in the future will be a joke. When those people bombard me, they will also ask you to be shot."
"We are not afraid of anything! Da Da, you are our spiritual pillar, we are invulnerable without you!"
The dogtail grass swears resolutely and fearlessly, and the strong words pop out from between the teeth like sonorous stones, as if they have undue courage.This recklessness reminded Zhuang Xiaojie of those boxer fighters with brazen heads and iron arms more than 100 years ago. Although they were loyal but foolish, they eventually became targets for the invaders to test their guns.
Only a heartless fool like her can easily take out her heart, Zhuang Xiaojie thinks so, but he can't simply treat her heart as a worthless pig's liver just because she took out her heart, otherwise he will really The Empress Dowager Cixi, who has become ungrateful and seldom righteous, will be exhumed and flogged when she dies in the future.
The dog tail grass begged until her throat was scorched and her lips were dry, but she couldn't help it, so she hung up the phone first, Zhuang Xiaojie thought she was coldhearted and retreated, holding a hamburger like a chicken rib, it was a pity to throw it away after eating it.Not long after, his left hand was trembling again from the vibration of the mobile phone, and the "Little Stupid Crab" was swaying on the display. It didn't take much guesswork to know that the dog's tail grass invited him to be the "Chen Chen".
Zhuang Xiaojie stared at the call prompt, like a college entrance examination candidate who was about to give up when faced with a difficult question on the test paper, but felt a pity when he thought of the hard work he had done in the past, so he bit the bullet and started after struggling.
"Hey, is the third watch broken? Are you free now? I want to talk to you."
Xiaoxiao Yuxie's voice was extremely cowardly, like a believer who was confessing to God, revealing a strong sense of guilt.Zhuang Xiaojie's heart has turned to ashes, and he can't rage like before, and his voice seems dry and lifeless: "I'll give you 10 minutes, let's talk."
Can believers not panic when God loses his divine light?Xiaoxiao Yuxie's tongue seemed to be stained with anesthesia, she uttered a lot of unnecessary trills, and apologized in a panic: "I'm sorry, I was too confused that day, so I ran to talk to Qin Guangling stupidly, which made him even worse and bite you back. I am very regretful and ashamed, So I never dared to contact you..."
It is pity for him to try to figure out the other party's mind so carefully. Zhuang Xiaojie was out of sympathy, put on a warm coat for Yin Se, and explained it gently: "It's not your fault, Qin Guangling didn't hang me because you talked to him, it's because of something different." s reason."
"What else?"
"I don't know either. In short, someone is talking about right and wrong in front of him. Do you have anything else? I'll hang up first."
"and many more!"
Xiaoxiao Yuxie yelled in a hurry, her voice was like a loach escaping from a fishing net jumping high out of the water, and after falling into the water, it moved quickly, and the panic continued unabated.
"The string broke at three o'clock, the tail told me just now that you were going to retreat, you, you should just say this in a moment of anger, right?"
Zhuang Xiaojie snorted softly: "Of course not. I made this decision after careful consideration. You can ask Wei Wei for details. I don't want to talk about the same topic as Ren Che Jilu again."
When he said these words, he could imagine what Xiaoxiao Yuxie would look like. His big black eyes must be dimmed like clouds and mist, and his front teeth like white corn kernels were deeply embedded in his lower lip. A look of bewilderment and helplessness appeared on his face.
Zhuang Xiaojie couldn't bear to see this face, so he hurriedly wiped it off with an eraser in his head, trying to keep calm, like a pedestrian who is braved the wind and rain trying to hold an umbrella, his posture looks light, but in fact he has exhausted his wrists.
"That's it, I'm off to work."
"Etc., etc!"
Xiaoxiao Yuxie shouted louder and louder, like thunder rolling from a distance to a nearby place, and a mournful buzz came out in the phone, "You can't retreat!" He looked like he was about to cry before he finished speaking, but there was a difference between men and women. Foxtail Grass could show the fragility of women to his heart's content, but he still had to maintain the firmness of men.
"If you quit at the third watch, it's tantamount to surrendering to those villains. From the beginning to the end of this incident, someone framed you. You can't be easily defeated. You have to show courage and fight against them!"
Zhuang Xiaojie just felt tired: "Don't be so high school, okay? Now the public sees that I am a scumbag cheating on feelings, and I have no evidence to refute it. How can I fight against people?"
Xiaoxiaoyu rested her fists and said: "The truth will not be buried forever, it's human-made, as long as we work hard to investigate, we can always clear your innocence!"
Zhuang Xiaojie smiled wryly: "You really grew up in the world of fairy tales. There are many truths in this world that are doomed to never see the light of day. Otherwise, how could there be the word unsolved case? And I quit not only because I was wronged, but because I was really heartless. Stay in this circle any longer."
Xiaoxiao Yuxie expressed her understanding, and immediately prescribe the right medicine to encourage you: "Is it because Qin Guangling stabbed you? You told me all about it. We all know that this matter has hit you hard. Being betrayed by a friend is the most ruinous thing. It’s so terrific, I can’t bear it if it’s me. But the third watch is broken, friends are not like shadows who will never leave you, they are individuals with independent thinking like you, they will come and go, they will take and let go , can produce love and can also produce hatred, you have to treat this kind of change with a normal heart, survive the dark clouds, thunder and lightning, and there will be stars waiting for you in the sky."
The inspirational dialogue was ridiculously stupid, and Zhuang Xiaojie inevitably showed disdain, and said mockingly: "Don't worry about it, I'm not a kid with little experience in the world, and I've heard more truths about life than you. I have seen a chicken soup seller get rich, but I have never seen a chicken soup drinker become a god. Now Shanghai is about to blow a typhoon, and there will be dark clouds in the next two days. Counting the stars can only be in a dream.”
His cold joke seemed to give Xiaoxiao Yuxie a hint, and the kid suddenly shouted happily: "Then let's make a bet! If you can see the stars tomorrow night, you are not allowed to quit the circle!"
Zhuang Xiaojie pondered for a moment, thinking that his intention was to delay time, so he advised him not to waste his time.But Xiaoxiao Yuxie insisted on gambling with absolute certainty, and seriously emphasized: "You just think that I want to move God with my thoughts. You will wait at home at 9:[-] tomorrow night, and stars will definitely appear in the sky."
"Huh? Don't you think that I will sing "Little Star" with my eyes closed? Then let me make a condition first. Tomorrow night, I will use the stars that I can see with the naked eye. Synaesthesia does not count. .”
"Okay! It's settled like that. If there are no stars in the sky tomorrow night, I will quit the circle with you!"
