Chapter 11 Chapter 10 Killing and Being Killed

The table has been opened and the quilt has been taken away. It was almost time for the Kuiyuan Pavilion guests to take their seats.But now there are still only four of them upstairs.The four people sat there motionless, like four wooden figures. A wooden man who can drink. The wine in the jug disappeared like an ebb tide. You have a glass, I have a glass, pour it yourself, drink it yourself, and no one greets others. Then Yan Qi, Wang Dong, and Guo Dalu laughed at the same time as if they had made an appointment. Even if they are idiots, they now know that they have been fooled again this time.

The man in black was not an official at all, nor was he a spy sent by the admiral to investigate the golden lion and the stick. He was also black and black. It was very annoying to be cheated so badly. But they thought it was ridiculous. Yan Qi pointed at Guo Dalu, and said with a smile: "Boss Wang is right at all, when you should be smart, you are confused; not only confused, but also stupid; not only stupid, but stupid as hell." Guo Dalu also pointed at him, and said with a smile, "What about you? You're not much smarter than me." Lin Taiping has been watching them quietly from the side, and when their laughter stopped, he asked, "Have you finished laughing yet?"

Guo Dalu panted, and said, "I haven't finished laughing yet, but I don't have the strength to laugh anymore." Lin Taiping said: "You think this incident is ridiculous?" Wang Dong suddenly rolled his eyes and said, "What if you don't laugh? Are you crying?" This is their philosophy of life. They can laugh, dare to laugh, and know how to laugh. Laughter can not only make people happy, but also increase your confidence and courage in life. "Blessed are those who laugh, for life belongs to them." Lin Taiping seemed unable to laugh. Guo Dalu said: "Why don't you laugh like us?"

Lin Taiping said: "If laughter can solve the problem, I must laugh harder than you." Guo Dalu said: "Even if laughing can't solve the problem, at least it won't increase the trouble." He smiled again, and continued: "Besides, if you learn to face life with a smile, you will gradually realize that there are no truly unsolvable problems in life." Lin Taiping said: "No matter how happy you smile, you will still be deceived." Guo Dalu said: "If you don't smile, you will still be deceived. Since you have been deceived, why don't you smile?"

Lin Taiping stopped talking. Guo Dalu said: "What's your problem?" Yan Qi said: "Why are you so concerned about this matter?" Lin Taiping was silent for a while, then said: "Because that person is the real Nangong Chou." Yan Qi said: "How do you know?" Lin Taiping said: "I just know." Guo Dalu said: "What does Nangong Chou have to do with you?" Lin Taiping said: "It doesn't matter—it's because it doesn't matter, so I want to..." Guo Dalu said: "What do you want?" Lin Taiping said: "I want to kill him."

Guo Dalu looked at Yan Qi, then at Wang Dong, and said, "Did you hear what he said?" Wang Dong didn't move at all. Yan Qi nodded. Guo Dalu said: "This kid said he was going to kill someone." Wang Dong still didn't move. Yan Qi nodded again. Guo Dalu turned his head slowly and looked at Lin Taiping. There was no expression on Lin Taiping's face. Guo Dalu said: "You saw him just now?" Lin Taiping said: "Yes." Guo Dalu suddenly laughed and said, "Then why didn't you kill him just now?" Lin Taiping still had no expression on his face, it was as if he was wearing a mask.

The iron-blue mask looked almost terrifying. He said word for word: "I have killed him." The jug was filled with wine again, because Wang Dong had ordered: "When you see our wine jug is empty, come and fill it up." The guys in the Kuiyuan Pavilion are very docile to Wang Dong. Everyone's eyes widened, looking at the wine jug. Guo Dalu suddenly smiled and said, "You don't drink wine with your eyes." Yan Qi said: "My mouth is very busy." Guo Dalu asked, "What are you busy with?" Yan Qi said: "Busy swallowing what you want to say?"

The guests are gradually coming, and this is no longer a place to talk. Guo Dalu picked up his wine glass, put it down again, and said, "It's rare for Young Master Guo to invite a guest..." Yan Qi said: "This time it's cheaper for him, let's go." Lin Taiping stood up first, and Wang Dong also stood up. Guo Dalu's hand was stretched out in front of him. Wang Dong looked at him and said, "What do you want to do? Want me to read your palm for you?" Guo Dalu forced a smile, and said: "Don't look at it, I'm born poor; the most terrible thing is, as long as I want to treat guests, even if there is money in the bag, it will fly away."

Wang Dong said: "You want to ask me to borrow money to pay the bill?" Guo Dalu coughed a few times and said, "You know, what I did last night was a very expensive thing." Wang Dong wanted to laugh at first, but he glanced at Lin Taiping and sighed, "You've found the wrong person." Guo Dalu was stunned and said, "You spent all your money too?" Wang Dong said: "Yes." Guo Dalu said: "You...how did you spend it?" Wang Dong said: "What I did last night was also a very expensive thing." Guo Dalu said: "What are you doing?"

Wang Dong said: "There is only one thing in the world that costs more money than finding a woman, and that is gambling." Guo Dalu said: "You lost everything? Who did you lose to?" Wang Dong said: "This is the guy in the restaurant." Guo Dalu was stunned for a while, couldn't help laughing, and said: "No wonder they are so obedient to you, the guys in the restaurant are always very obedient to the bully, not to mention, if you lose the money to me, I will be obedient to you too. " Wang Dong said: "I am not the only one who has been wronged."

Guo Dalu said: "Who else?" Wang Dong looked at Lin Taiping and then at Yan Qi. Guo Dalu jumped up and said, "Did you lose all your money?" No one speaks, silence is the answer. Guo Dalu sat down again, and said with a wry smile: "So, don't these fellows all get rich?" Wang Dong said: "They can't make a fortune either - they will lose to others sooner or later." Guo Dalu nodded his head slowly, and murmured: "That's right, it's easy to come, easy to go, so you go as you come." Wang Dong said: "But we have finally made some contributions to mankind." Guo Dalu said: "What contribution?" Wang Dong said: "The faster money circulates, the more prosperous the market is. This is how human beings progress." Guo Dalu thought for a while, and said with a wry smile, "What you said seems to make sense." Wang Dong said: "So you don't have to feel uncomfortable." Guo Dalu said: "Why am I suffering? I didn't lose..." Wang Dong said: "Sorry, we lost all your money." Guo Dalu was stunned. Wang Dong said: "The clay bodhisattva in the ruined temple will not charge money for sleeping with people." Guo Dalu's eyes gradually became round, and he said, "You know?...You guys have been in collusion for a long time?...The thief who stole me is..." He suddenly poked Yan Qi's nose straight with his finger, and shouted, "It's you." Yan Qi said: "The answer is correct." Guo Dalu grabbed his shirt, gritted his teeth and said, "Why did you do such a thing?" Yan Qi didn't speak, but her face seemed a little red. Wang Dong said indifferently: "He is also doing it for your own good, he doesn't want his friend to get sickness." Guo Dalu let go of his hand slowly, sat down on the chair again, touched his head with his hand, and murmured: "My God... My God, how did you let me make such a good friend?" He suddenly jumped up again, gritted his teeth and said, "Since you know that the four of you are empty, why do you still want to eat and drink here?" Wang Dong said: "To make you happy." Guo Dalu couldn't help but cried out, "Make me happy?" Wang Dong said: "When a person treats guests, he is always very happy, isn't he?" Guo Dalu put his head in his hands and said: "Yes, yes, I am so happy, so damn happy that I would rather die." A clerk came over suddenly and said: "Brother Wang, don't worry about paying the bill, the account here has been settled." Guo Dalu sighed and said, "Unexpectedly, there is someone with a good conscience here." The guy blushed and said with a smile: "I really wanted to settle the bill for Brother Wang, but it's a pity that someone rushed to settle the bill first." Wang Dong said: "Who is it?" The guy said, "That's the guest sitting in the corner over there." He turned around, wanted to show them, but was stunned again. There were still food and wine on the table in the corner, but the people had disappeared. Guo Dalu walked at the back, walked a few steps, then turned around, patted the shoulder of the guy who saw the guests downstairs, and said, "I have something to ask you." The guy said: "Please tell me." Guo Dalu said: "You have won so much money, how are you going to spend it?" "I'm not going to spend it," said the guy. Guo Dalu stared at him, as if he suddenly saw a saint. The guy suddenly smiled again, and said, "I'm going to use it as capital to win more. I've been lucky recently." Guo Dalu was still staring at him, and suddenly laughed out loud, bent down so much that he almost rolled down the stairs. He laughed and patted the guy on the shoulder, saying: "Good idea, good idea, this is the only way human beings can progress. On behalf of the people in the world, I thank you." The guy also wanted to ask, "What am I grateful for?" Guo Dalu has already gone downstairs. The guy sighed, shook his head, and murmured: "It seems that these people are not only taken advantage of, but also crazy." A very clever person once said a very clever sentence: "It is actually very interesting to be treated as a fool and a lunatic, even more interesting than being treated as a hero and sage." That guy is not a smart person, of course he has never heard of this sentence, even if he did, he would not understand the meaning of this sentence. Few people can understand the words of a smart person. There are two kinds of people in the world. One kind of people always do things well-behaved and logically. No matter what they do, anyone can guess and figure it out. The other kind of people do things differently. They just like to do something mysterious. Not only can others not figure out what they are doing, maybe they can't figure it out themselves. Wang Dong is such a person. So is Lin Taiping. But there is something more elusive in the world than this kind of person. That is money. When you don't want money, it will often come for no reason and inexplicably. When you need it most, you often can't even see its shadow. What is it like to kill? Few people know. Out of 10,000 people, perhaps only one has ever killed someone. Someone said: "No matter what it feels like to kill, at least it's better than being killed." The person who said this must have never killed anyone himself. Some people also said: "The taste of killing is more terrible than death." People who say such things, even if they have not killed anyone, at least they are very close. "Have you ever killed someone?" "How did you kill him?" "Why did you kill him?" Lin Taiping has been waiting for them to ask him these three sentences. They didn't ask. Wang Dong, Yan Qi, and Guo Dalu seemed to have made an appointment again, and they didn't even ask a word. The three of them never spoke at all along the way. The county seat is not far from the mountain city, but it seems far away when you don't speak. Guo Dalu hummed a ditty tune, the tune may have been passed down for a long time, but the lyrics must have been made up by himself. No one else could have made up such lyrics except him. "When it comes, it's majestic, but when it goes, it's loose. When it comes, it takes a car, and when it goes, it rides the wind. When it comes, it makes a clang, and when it goes, it's empty. When it comes..." Yan Qi suddenly asked: "What are you singing?" Guo Dalu said: "This is called 'Come and Go Song', come and go, come and go, what goes does not come, what comes does not go." Yan Qi suddenly followed his tune and sang: "If you can't let it go, if you let it go, don't let it go, if you let it go, let it go, if you let it go, let it go." Guo Dalu said: "Put what?" Yan Qi said: "Bullshit. This is called bullshit." Guo Dalu said with a stern face: "You don't need to hate me, I was asked to sing before, and I didn't bother to sing." Wang Dong nodded and said, "I know who those are." Yan Qi blinked and said, "Who is it?" Wang Dong said: "Deaf." Guo Dalu wanted to put on a straight face, but he couldn't help laughing. Lin Taiping suddenly sneered and said, "Deaf people are at least better than those who pretend to be deaf and dumb." Guo Dalu blinked and said, "Who pretends to be deaf and dumb?" Lin Taiping said: "You, you, you." He pointed at the faces of the three of them one by one with his fingers, and continued: "You obviously have something to ask in your heart, why don't you ask it?" Wang Dong said: "It's not that you don't ask, it's that you don't need to ask." Lin Taiping said: "Why don't you ask?" Wang Dong said: "There are not too many such people alive, and not too few dead." Guo Dalu said: "Yes, yes, one less person of that kind dies, the less the better." He patted Lin Taiping on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Since you didn't kill the wrong person, why should we ask?" Lin Taiping gritted his teeth, and suddenly said: "Have you ever killed anyone?" Guo Dalu looked at Wang Dong, and Wang Dong looked at Yan Qi. Yan Qi smiled wryly, "I've only been killed before." Lin Taiping suddenly jumped towards the side of the road, just after he landed behind a tree, the sound of crying could already be heard. Yan Qi looked at Guo Dalu, and Guo Dalu looked at Wang Dong. Wang Dong said: "He has never killed anyone before." Guo Dalu nodded and said, "This is the first time he killed someone." Yan Qi sighed, and said, "It turns out that killing people is worse than being killed." Wang Dong said: "Nangong Chou found out that he was following him, so he must have thought that he had discovered the secret of black eating black, so he shot him first, trying to kill him to silence him." Guo Dalu said: "Who knows who wants to kill someone, but gets killed instead." Yan Qi said: "Lin Taiping's martial arts seem to be much stronger than ours, and also much stronger than Nangong Chou." Guo Dalu sighed: "It's called people can't be judged by their appearance, and sea water can't be measured. When I first saw him, I thought he couldn't even catch a chicken." The crying has not stopped. Yan Qi said: "Those who want to kill people may not be able to kill people. Although they kill people, they don't want to kill people." Guo Dalu said: "Shall we go and persuade him?" Wang Dong said: "Not good." Guo Dalu said: "Why?" Wang Dong said: "Although crying is not as good as laughing, it's not bad to be able to cry once in a while alone." Guo Dalu sighed: "I'd rather laugh. When I want to laugh alone, at least I don't have to hide behind a tree." Yan Qi also sighed, and said: "And no matter how much you laugh, you don't have to be afraid of people watching the fun." The more you are afraid of others watching the excitement, the more people will watch the excitement. It's not dark yet, and there are still many people on the road. Some people have stopped and straightened their necks to look this way, and some people have even walked over. Guo Dalu wiped his sweat, smiled wryly and said quietly: "I just hope that others will not suspect that he was bullied by us and cried." No one "suspected". Everyone is pretty much set. Seeing the winks of these people, Yan Qi couldn't help but wiped off his sweat, and said, "Hurry up and find a way to persuade him to leave, okay?" Guo Dalu smiled wryly, "I'm not that capable, at most I can only dig a hole." Yan Qi said: "Why dig a hole?" Guo Dalu said: "It's better to get into the hole, and avoid being stared at like this." Yan Qi sighed, "You'd better dig a bigger one." Guo Dalu said bitterly: "If you lose less, if you don't lose everything, we can at least hire a car and let him sit in the car and cry happily." As soon as this sentence was finished, a beautiful carriage actually drove over and stopped right in front of them. Yan Qi glanced at Wang Dong, and said quietly: "We really shouldn't bet on the last bet, since we've already lost, we shouldn't try to make money." Wang Dong said indifferently: "If the gamblers don't want to make money, all the people who rely on gambling for food will starve to death. You don't want to see people starve to death, right?" The driver of the carriage suddenly jumped out of the carriage, walked up to them, and said with a smile: "Which one is Uncle Guo?" Guo Dalu said: "Who is looking for me? Why are you looking for me?" The coachman bowed and said, "Uncle Guo, please get on the carriage." Guo Dalu said: "I don't like to ride in a car, I like to walk." The coachman laughed and said, "This car was specially hired by a friend of Uncle Guo, and the car has already been paid for." Guo Dalu was startled, and said, "Who hired it?" The coachman smiled and said, "That's Uncle Guo's friend. Uncle Guo doesn't recognize him, how can a villain recognize him?" Guo Dalu thought for a while, then nodded suddenly, and said: "I remembered who he is, he is my godson." As soon as he got in the car, Lin Taiping stopped crying, but just sat there in a daze. Guo Dalu was also in a daze. Yan Qi couldn't help asking: "Do you really have a godson?" Guo Dalu smiled wryly and said, "I have a bloody godson. Even if I want to be someone else's godson, they think I'm too poor. How can anyone be my godson?" Yan Qi frowned and said, "Then who hired the car?" Guo Dalu said: "Bacheng is the one who accounted for us in Kuiyuan Pavilion." Yan Qi said: "Have you seen that man?" Guo Dalu sighed: "At that time, people didn't look at me, thank God, how dare I look at others?" It is true that one cannot even lift one's head when one has to pay a bill and has no money in one's pocket. Yan Qi said: "What about you?" He didn't ask Lin Taiping, but Wang Dong. Of course Lin Taiping was not in the mood to pay attention to others at that time. Wang Dong smiled and said: "At that time, I only focused on the expression on Young Master Guo's face. I've never seen him so cute before." Guo Dalu glared at him and said, "I only wish I didn't see you when you lost all your money, the expression on your face must have been very cute." So Yan Qi also started to be dazed, he himself didn't see who was paying the bill for them. Wang Dong said: "The coachman is looking for Young Master Guo, that person must be Young Master Guo's friend." Guo Dalu sighed, and said: "I don't have such rich friends, among my friends, you are the richest." Wang Dong said: "I am rich?" Guo Dalu said: "You still have a house at least. Although it is a house that people hate ghosts, but a house is still a house." Wang Dong said lightly: "If you like it, I will give it to you." Guo Dalu said: "I don't want it." Wang Dong said: "Why not?" Guo Dalu said with a smile: "I have nothing to live on now, and I have nothing to worry about. I am happy and have nothing to worry about. Unlike you, I have to worry about other things." Yan Qi said: "Boss Wang still has a house to worry about, what should I worry about?" Guo Dalu glanced at him up and down, and said with a smile, "At least you still have new clothes, so when you do things, you have to worry about getting your clothes dirty, and when you sit down, you have to check for mud on the ground. How could I be so free." Yan Qi stared at him and said, "Is there really no one in this world that you care about? Is there nothing you care about?" Guo Dalu suddenly stopped talking, and there seemed to be a hint of sadness in his eyes. Yan Qi suddenly discovered that this person might not be as happy as he appeared on the surface, and he might also have some sad things, but he has been hiding it very well and never let others know. He only lets others know his happiness and share his happiness.Never want others to share his pain and depression. Yan Qi looked at him, her eyes suddenly became extraordinarily bright. The longer he got along with Guo Dalu, the more he felt that Guo Dalu was indeed a very lovely person. After an unknown amount of time, Wang Dong suddenly let out a long sigh and said, "We're almost there, we're almost home." He sighed with joy and contentment. Looking out the window, you can already see the small hillside. Guo Dalu couldn't help but heaved a long sigh, and said: "It seems that no matter it's a golden nest or a silver nest, it can't compare to your dog's nest." Wang Dong stared and said, "My kennel?" Guo Dalu smiled and said, "Our kennel." ※※※ dusk. The sunset is all over the mountains. The half-withered autumn grass looks like gold in the setting sun, gold everywhere; the path made of stone slabs stretches obliquely forward, like a string of white jade in a pile of gold. The wind is blowing, the birds are singing, and the autumn insects are whispering, mixing into a sound more beautiful than music, it is as beautiful as whispering in a lover's ear. The mountain is filled with the fragrance of flowers, grass and wind.Even the setting sun seems to be dyed with fragrance, which is as fragrant as the soft hair on the sideburns of a lover. Life turned out to be so fragrant and wonderful. Guo Dalu sighed for a long time, and said with a big laugh: "I only now know that being poor is a very happy thing." Yan Qi said: "Happy?" Guo Dalu said: "How many rich people can enjoy such a beautiful scenery? Can they breathe such a fragrance? They can only smell the stench of copper." Yan Qi also laughed. Guo Dalu suddenly noticed that his smile was as bright as the setting sun, and couldn't help laughing: "I just realized now that you are not ugly at all, but sometimes you are really too dirty." Yan Qi actually didn't retort this time, but lowered his head.He wasn't such a bully in the first place, what made him change? Is this the sunset?Is it the soft wind?Or the bright smiling face of Guo Dalu? Wang Dong suddenly said: "Having money is not a bad thing." Guo Dalu said: "What about the poor?" Wang Dong said: "It's not bad to be poor." Guo Dalu said: "What is bad?" Wang Dong said: "Nothing is bad, whether it is bad or not depends on whether you know how to enjoy life." Guo Dalu carefully chewed his words, and his heart was suddenly filled with warmth, happiness, and satisfaction. He is satisfied only because he can live. He lives to enjoy life—such a wonderful life. So, friends, you should never worry about being rich, let alone being poor. As long as you know how to enjoy life, you are not living in vain. Then one day even if you die, you will die happily. Because you live happier than others. The carriage couldn't go up the mountain, so they walked up the mountain. They walk very slowly. Because they know that no matter how slow they go, they will always get there. It was getting dark. Nor do they worry. Because they know it will be daylight soon. So their hearts were filled with joy, and even Lin Taiping's eyes lit up. They finally saw Wang Dong's house. Although it was an old and dilapidated house, it looked as beautiful as a palace in the dusk of the setting sun. Everyone has a palace, and his palace is in his heart. Oddly enough, some people just can't find it. Wang Dong's sharp face also softened, he suddenly smiled and asked, "Guess, what's the first thing I want to do after I go back?" Guo Dalu and Yan Qi rushed to say at the same time: "Go to bed." Wang Dong said: "The answer is correct." But sometimes accidents happen in life. They hadn't reached the house when they suddenly saw a light in the window. It started with the window facing the door. Then every window followed by a light coming on. The lights are bright. They froze again. Yan Qi said: "There are people in the room." Guo Dalu said: "Will any friends come to see you?" Wang Dong said: "Originally there were, but since I sold the last chair, all my friends suddenly disappeared." He smiled lightly, and continued: "Maybe they are all as lazy as me, afraid that there will be no place to sit when they come here." This faint smile symbolizes how deeply he understands life. So he doesn't have big demands on anyone. When he gave, he never thought of taking it back—this may be one of the reasons why he lived a happier life than others. Yan Qi frowned and said, "Then, who lit the lamp?" Guo Dalu smiled and said, "Why do we have to guess? Just go in and have a look, don't we know?" This was originally a very correct attitude, but this time it was wrong. They went in and looked, but still didn't know.
