Chapter 44 Siblings with a story!
The girl cried very sadly, but she tried her best to suppress her sobs in the process, as if she didn't want outsiders to hear.
Tang Zhen looked at the girl who looked so happy, and sighed secretly in his heart, guessing that the girl's relatives may have suffered misfortune, otherwise she would not have such painful expressions of missing people after seeing things. .
“Dong dong dong!”
A knock on the door suddenly sounded. The girl seemed to be frightened and her body shook slightly. She quickly stretched out her sleeves to wipe away the remaining tears from the corners of her eyes, and then carefully hid the painting under the bed.
He stood up and opened the door. A fourteen-year-old boy in black clothes appeared outside the door.
"Sister, I'm back!"
The young man in black has a bright smile on his face. His long light yellow hair and fair skin make him look very handsome. There was an ordinary long sword tied to the young man's back. Perhaps due to frequent use, the hilt of the sword was somewhat worn.
"We're back, Xiao Rui, the food is already ready, hurry up and eat!"
The girl smiled, moved her body away, and the boy walked in.
After simply washing his hands, the young man took off the long sword behind him and placed it at the foot of the bed, then sat in front of the stone table for cooking.
The girl filled a wooden bowl with a large bowl of mushroom and potato soup, placed it in front of the boy, and then filled herself with a small bowl.
After the young man in black named Xiao Rui stirred his food with a spoon, he looked at the girl's reddish eyes, hesitated for a moment and then said: "Sister, you are crying, your eyes are red and It’s swollen, do you miss your parents again?”
The girl seemed to not want to show her weakness and helplessness in front of her younger brother, she quickly shook her head and denied, “What’s the matter? It’s just that I didn’t sleep well during the night shift yesterday.”
The young man showed a trace of struggle when he heard this. He was silent for a while and then said in a low tone: “Sister, you don’t have to work so hard to earn brains. , it won’t take long for me to be promoted to a second-level monk. At that time, I can receive more subsidies, and I can also team up with my classmates to hunt monsters in the wilderness..."
Just halfway through what the young man said, his sister's face changed, and she reprimanded with a hint of anger in her tone: "You don't have to worry about the expenses at home, you just need to practice well. I warn you, in your cultivation Because you haven’t broken through to level three, you are absolutely not allowed to do so. You are allowed to step out of the building, otherwise don’t blame me for denying you as my brother!”
The girl who had always had a soft and weak expression looked very excited at this moment, and her pretty face was also full of emotions. The reason for the fluctuation became a little crimson.
The young man seemed to be afraid that his sister would be angry, but his expression was a little unwilling, and he murmured to himself: "If it weren't for that bastard's conspiracy, my parents would not have died, and we would still be living together. You don’t have to work so hard in the happy life at the upper level of Loucheng...”
“Shut up!”
A trace of panic appeared on the girl’s face, and she quickly stopped the young man’s words, and then carefully walked to the door.
After listening carefully for a while and making sure that no one was eavesdropping, he walked up to the young man angrily and whispered: "Huh... I've said it several times, don't worry about mom and dad's affairs, and these words don't matter either. You must never say it again, why are you so disobedient? Do you want to make your sister angry to death?"
As the girl spoke, there was a mist in her big eyes.
The sullen young man on the side quickly admitted his mistake when he saw this, but his expression seemed to be full of reluctance!
Seeing this, the girl sighed, sat down gently on the bed, and said to the boy: "Xiao Rui, sister knows that you feel aggrieved, but things are not as simple as you think. Mom and Dad have already Without it, there will be no more people to stand up for us. In fact, they know what happened better than anyone else, but what can they do? Like?
That man is the elder of Lou City. We can't fight him now. If we swallow our anger, we may be able to continue to live in Black Rock City, but you can also continue to practice. If so, not only will we be driven out of Loucheng, but that person will definitely not let us go.
Promise your sister that you will never step out of the building before you reach the third level of cultivation, and you should always swallow your anger. I know that person’s grandson is in the same class as you, and he has been bullying you with his bully, but sister, please, please don’t be impulsive! "The girl spoke sincerely. When she said these words, her thin body looked very helpless.
Xiao Rui listened to her sister's words and clenched her fists tightly, and those things flashed in front of her eyes. The humiliation and unwillingness finally turned into a long sigh
"Okay, I promise you."
The girl burst into tears when she heard this, and the bright smile appeared in her face again. on the face.
After walking slowly to the young man, he served him another spoonful of food and said with a smile: "I heard that the blood viper's snake meat can help improve your cultivation. After a while, my sister will get paid. I’ll buy you one and bring it back to make soup.”
The boy shook his head, nodded again, lowered his head and ate the food silently.
What followed was a long silence. During this period, even if the girl raised the topic, the boy would simply deal with it and then there would be no more movement.
Seeing this, the girl sighed slightly, a trace of distress flashed in her eyes, and she said nothing more.
Tang Zhen, who was hiding aside, witnessed the whole process. During this period, his expression changed several times, and finally he looked at the young man named Xiaorui with great interest.
From this young man, he saw a deep sense of unwillingness and humiliation, and this extreme emotion can not only build a person, but also destroy a person.
If you make good use of the other party's psychology, you may be able to gain some benefits for yourself.
Of course, the premise is that the other party must be willing to cooperate with you, otherwise it will be easy to steal the chicken but lose the rice.
Tang Zhen analyzed the young man's psychology. He just wanted to become a strong man and avenge his parents, and he didn't want his sister to work hard for him anymore.
It is very difficult to achieve these goals, at least for the siblings in front of them, it is very difficult!
The embarrassment of life and the prying eyes of enemies have left them in a quagmire of struggle. If they want to get ahead and take revenge, it is just a distant dream.
I am afraid that when they face this goal, they will feel a sense of confusion and deep powerlessness.
At this time, as long as Tang Zhen appears in front of them, no matter what role he plays, as long as he can give them obvious hope, then there will be the possibility of cooperation between them.
However, when Tang Zhen was choosing a partner to cooperate with, he hesitated between siblings, and in the end he chose his younger brother.
This young man named Xiao Rui has ambition and anger in his heart, and he is also very smart. In the face of interests, this kind of person will neither refuse outright nor submit obediently, but will weigh the pros and cons.
But this kind of people will never give up dazzling benefits, because they know how valuable the opportunity is, and it may only happen once in a lifetime!
Going on the right path, taking a step forward, you will be prosperous and wealthy, wearing fine clothes and angry horses. If you hesitate, you will miss out. You will be ordinary and poor, with simple food and simple tea!
Instead of being like her sister, who has worries and concerns in her heart, she would rather suffer herself than involve her family.
But it was precisely this thought that made her directly refuse to cooperate with Tang Zhen, and instead chose to continue to hold on to her dream in peace and order. No matter how long the time was and how painful it was, as long as there was hope Just fine!
So when the young man raised his sword and left, Tang Zhen followed him out quietly.
