Chapter 17 Chapter 16 The Secret of Guo Dalu

What is the secret? The secret is the only thing you can enjoy alone. It may make you happy, it may make you miserable, but whatever it is, it is entirely yours. If it is pain, you have to bear it alone; if it is happiness, you cannot share it with others. Not even best friends. Because if there is a second person who knows the secret, it cannot be regarded as a secret. Some secrets are indeed a treat. When you have just eaten a good meal, took a hot bath, are wearing a loose old clothes, sitting alone in a comfortable chair, facing the sunset in the sky outside the window, you suddenly think of the secret, and your heart is full of secrets. There will be a sense of warmth involuntarily...

If your secret is of this kind, you might as well keep it forever, or you might as well speak it out sooner. ※※※ Guo Dalu sat under the eaves for a long time. He wouldn't be sitting here as long as there was something else to do. Some people would rather wander around, watch others walking up and down the road, and watch wild dogs fighting in the corner, than stay in the house. Guo Dalu is such a person. But now the only thing he can do is to sit here in a daze. There are icicles under the eaves, some are long and some are short, I don't know how many there are. However, Guo Dalu knew that there were sixty-three roots in total, twenty-six were longer and thirty-seven were shorter.

Because he has counted seventeen times. The weather was so cold that not only were there no people to be seen on the street, even the wild dogs were hiding somewhere. He has lived for more than 20 years and experienced more than 20 winters, but he can't think of a day that is colder than these few days. When a person is really unlucky, it seems that even the weather is particularly against him. He was often unlucky, but never as unlucky as he was now. Unlucky is like an infectious disease, if a person is really unlucky, the people with him will never be unlucky either. So he's not sitting here alone.

Yan Qi, Wang Dong, and Lin Taiping were all sitting here, also in a daze. Lin Taiping suddenly asked: "How many icicles do you think there are?" Yan Qi said: "Sixty-three roots." Wang Dong said: "Twenty-six roots are long, and thirty-seven are short." Guo Dalu couldn't help laughing, and said, "So you have counted them too." Yan Qi said: "I have counted forty times." Wang Dong said: "I only counted three times, because I can't bear the majority." Guo Dalu said: "Reluctance?" Wang Dong said: "Because I want to save and count slowly."

Guo Dalu wanted to laugh, but couldn't. Although this is ridiculous, it is so pitiful. Guo Dalu suddenly stood up, turned around, and looked at a table in the middle of the room. The rosewood table is inlaid with a whole piece of marble. Guo Dalu murmured: "I don't know if I still have the strength to carry this table to my uncle's house?" Wang Dong said, "You haven't." Guo Dalu blinked and said, "Do you want me to try it?" Wang Dong said: "You don't have to try at all." Guo Dalu said: "Why?" Wang Dong said: "I also know that of course you can lift an empty table, but if there are heavy things on the table, it will be different."

Guo Dalu said: "There is nothing on this table." Wang Dong said: "Yes." Guo Dalu said: "What?" Wang Dong said: "Face! And it's not my face, it's all of us." He continued indifferently: "Not only did we collect rent from others, but we also collected storage fees from them. If we pawn their belongings now, will we have any face in the future?" Guo Dalu sighed, smiled wryly, "That's right, I really can't lift this table." Wang Dong said: "The most important thing in the world is face, so only one kind of person can lift this table."

Guo Dalu said: "What kind of person?" Wang Dong said: "Shameless people." Lin Taiping sighed, and said, "That kind of person is usually very full." Yan Qi said: "Pigs are usually full too." Lin Taiping laughed and said: "If a person wants to take care of his face, sometimes he has to treat his stomach badly. After all, face is much more important than stomach." Yan Qi said: "Because people are not pigs, only pigs think that belly is more important than face." Lin Taiping said: "That's why some people would rather starve to death than do something embarrassing."

Wang Dong said, "But we didn't starve to death, did we?" Lin Taiping said: "Yes." Wang Dong said: "Although we haven't had enough food for several days, we have finally endured until now." Guo Dalu raised his chest and said, "No one can deny that our bones are indeed harder than most people's." Wang Dong said: "As long as we are willing to endure, there will be a turning point one day." Guo Dalu smiled and said, "Yes, since winter has come, can spring be far behind?" Wang Dong said: "As long as we can survive until that day, we can still raise our heads to meet people, because we have neither wronged others nor ourselves."

Lin Taiping hesitated, and finally couldn't help but asked: "Can we make it through?" Guo Dalu hurriedly said, "Of course." He walked over and put his arms around Lin Taiping's shoulders, and said with a smile, "Because we have nothing, but at least we still have friends." Lin Taiping looked at him, and suddenly felt warm in his heart. He suddenly felt that he had enough courage. No matter how difficult it is, no matter how cold the weather is, he no longer cares. He suddenly ran out. He didn't come back until night, with an extra paper bag in his hand.

He held up the paper bag and said with a smile, "Guess what I brought back?" Guo Dalu blinked and said, "Could it be steamed buns?" Lin Taiping smiled and said: "The answer is correct." As expected, there were steamed buns in the paper bag. There are four big steamed buns, and there is actually a big piece of fat sandwiched in each steamed bun. Guo Dalu cheered: "Long live Lin Taiping!" He picked up a steamed bun and said with a smile: "I really admire it, even if you kill me now, I still can't make half a steamed bun." Yan Qi stared at Lin Taiping and said, "Of course these steamed buns weren't conjured?"

Lin Taiping smiled and said, "Maybe it fell from the sky." He took a steamed bun to Wang Dong. Wang Dong shook his head and said, "I won't eat." Lin Taiping said, "Why?" Wang Dong sighed and said, "Because I can't bear to eat your clothes." Guo Dalu just took a bite of the steamed bun, and was already stunned. Only then did he realize that Lin Taiping was missing one piece of clothing—the thickest one. Lin Taiping didn't wear many clothes. Now his lips were white with cold, but there was a very happy smile on the corner of his mouth, and he said: "Yes, I pawned my clothes and exchanged these four steamed buns, because I am very hungry, when I am alone, Take your own clothes as pawns, no one can say that he is wrong." Wang Dong said: "Then, you should come back after eating, so as not to prevent us..." Lin Taiping interrupted him, saying: "I don't hide from anyone to eat secretly, it's just because I'm selfish." Wang Dong said: "Selfish?" Lin Taiping said: "Because I think eating with four people is much more enjoyable than eating alone." This is friends.He can share the blessings and share the difficulties. If a person has this kind of friend, what does it matter if he is poor or cold? Guo Dalu chewed the steamed buns slowly, and suddenly said with a smile: "To be honest, I have never eaten such delicious food in my whole life." Lin Taiping smiled and said: "What you said is not honest, this is just a cold steamed bun." Guo Dalu said: "Although it is a cold steamed bun, even if someone wants to exchange the whole world's big fish and meat for my cold steamed bun, I will not exchange it." Lin Taiping's eye circles seemed to be a little red suddenly, he grabbed Guo Dalu's hand, and said: "After hearing what you said, I also think this steamed bun is much more delicious." Some words are indeed magical charms, which can not only make cold steamed buns delicious, warm winter, but also make boring life colorful. If you want to learn to say this kind of thing, you must first learn to treat your friends with sincerity. Guo Dalu suddenly sighed and said, "It's a pity that my clothes are too torn." Lin Taiping said: "Ragged clothes are not ashamed." Guo Dalu sighed: "It's a pity that Huo Huo Skin would never think so, otherwise..." Yan Qi smiled and said, "Otherwise you would have taken it off to change wine, right?" Guo Dalu smiled wryly, "That's right." Yan Qi suddenly stood up and walked outside. Guo Dalu said: "There is no need to try it, your clothes are more torn than mine." Yan Qi ignored people, walked out quickly, and came back quickly. When I came back, I carried a jug of water. Yan Qi said: "Han Yeke comes to drink tea as wine, since tea can be used as wine, why not water?" Guo Dalu laughed and said: "Unexpectedly, you are very elegant." Yan Qi said with a smile: "When a person is extremely poor, he can't think of elegance." This is their attitude towards life. When there was wine, they drank more than anyone else, and when there was no wine, they drank water as well. They are happy when they drink, and they are equally happy when they drink water. So they live happier than others. But there is always at least one difference between drinking alcohol and drinking water. The more you drink, the hotter you drink, the colder you drink the water. Especially drinking cold water in this weather. Guo Dalu suddenly stood up and started somersaulting. Yan Qi smiled and said, "What are you doing?" Guo Dalu said: "I have experience, I get hot when I move, why don't you learn from me?" Yan Qi shook her head, said: "Because I also have experience, I can move fast and get hungry fast." Guo Dalu smiled and said: "You think too much, as long as it's not cold now, why bother..." He didn't finish the sentence. He suddenly saw something fall from in front of him. Gold did not fall from the sky, but fell from Guo Dalu's arms. He was beginning the sixth somersault, head down and feet up, when the gold fell from his arms. "Dang", fell in front of him. When gold falls on the ground, it will make a "dang" sound, which means that the gold is very heavy. It was indeed a thick gold chain, with a golden chicken heart on it. This golden chicken heart is at least twice the size of a real chicken heart. It is unbelievable that a person who is so poor that he has not eaten for several days can drop so much gold from his body. But Wang Dong and the others couldn't believe it, because the three of them could see it very clearly. They just wish they hadn't seen it. They really don't want to believe it's true. Lin Taiping even pawned his own clothes, but Guo Dalu still had such a thick gold chain hidden on his body. A person with a gold chain hidden on his body is still pretending to be poor in front of his friends, and he still pretends to be so good. What kind of friend is this? They really didn't want to believe that Guo Dalu would be such a friend. Wang Dong suddenly yawned and murmured, "Why do you always want to sleep when you are full?" He went to bed and walked past Guo Dalu, as if he had neither seen the gold chain nor Guo Dalu. Lin Taiping yawned, and murmured: "In such a cold weather, what better place is there than in bed?" He also went to sleep, and he didn't seem to see anything. Only Yan Qi was still sitting there, in a daze. After a long time, Guo Dalu's feet slowly fell from the top, and he slowly stood up straight. It seemed that he could no longer stand upright. There is no star, no moon, only a lamp. A very small lamp, for there was not much oil left. But the gold chain still looked very bright under the lamp. Guo Dalu lowered his head, looked at the gold chain, and murmured, "Strange, why does gold seem to shine no matter how dark it is?" Yan Qi said indifferently: "Maybe this is the benefit of gold, otherwise why would so many people value gold more than friends?" Guo Dalu was stunned for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and said, "Why don't you go to sleep?" Yan Qi said: "I'm still waiting." Guo Dalu said: "What are you waiting for?" Yan Qi said: "I'm waiting to hear what you say..." Guo Dalu said loudly: "I have nothing to say, if you see me as this kind of person, then I am this kind of person." Yan Qi stared at him, and after a long, long time, she stood up slowly and walked out slowly. Guo Dalu didn't look at him. It's windy and cold outside. The lamp was about to go dark, and suddenly, a gust of cold wind came out of nowhere and blew out the lamp. But the gold chain is still shining. Guo Dalu lowered his head, looked at the gold chain, and after an unknown amount of time, he slowly bent down and picked up the gold chain. He held the gold chain in his palm. Tears welled up from his eyes suddenly, dripping onto the palm of his hand. Cold gold chains, fiery tears. He knelt down suddenly, and finally wept, trying not to let himself cry out. Because he didn't want others to hear his cry. This is his secret, and it is also the greatest pain in his life. He does not want others to know this secret, nor does he want others to share his pain. So no one knew how deep and profound his pain was. That was a long time ago though.But now he still breaks his heart whenever he thinks about it. He knew that he would bear the pain all his life, and he would not be able to escape until death. What happened just now also caused him pain. He would rather die than lose these friends. But he didn't explain, because he knew they wouldn't forgive him, because even he couldn't forgive himself. Perhaps there is a real pain in the world, and that is the pain that cannot be told to others. "Can't say... how can I say?..." "Why do I still have the face to stay here?" The wind is stronger and colder outside. He gritted his teeth, quietly wiped away his tears, and stood up. No matter how cruel and ruthless the outside world was, he was ready to bear it alone. If he did something wrong, he would take it upon himself, and he would neither explain nor ask for forgiveness. Not even in front of friends. But God knows, he really values ​​his friends more than his own life. "Friends, goodbye, one day, you will understand me. By that day, we will still be friends, but now..." His tears were streaming down again. Just when he reached out to wipe his tears, he saw Yan Qi. Not only saw Yan Qi, but also Wang Dong and Lin Taiping. They didn't know when they walked into the room again, stood there quietly, and looked at him quietly. He couldn't see the expressions on their faces, only their three pairs of shining eyes. He also hoped that they would not see his face, the tears on his face. He coughed a few times and said, "Aren't you already asleep?" Lin Taiping said: "We can't sleep." Guo Dalu forced a smile, and said: "If you can't sleep, you should lie in bed. In this kind of weather, is there any better place in the world than in bed?" Wang Dong said: "Yes." Yan Qi said: "Here is better than being in bed." Guo Dalu said: "What's so good about this place?" Wang Dong said: "Only a little bit." Yan Qi said: "There are friends here, but not in the bed." Guo Dalu suddenly felt a burst of heat rushing up from his heart, as if it had blocked his throat. It was a long time before he could speak. He lowered his head and said, "There are no friends here either, I am no longer worthy to be your friend." Wang Dong said, "Who said that?" Yan Qi said: "I didn't say anything either." Wang Dong said: "We are here, just want to say a word." Guo Dalu clenched his fists.Said: "You... you said." Wang Dong said: "We know you and believe in you, so no matter what happens, you are our friend." This is friends. They can share your joy and share your pain. If you are in trouble, they are willing to help. If you are in danger, they are willing to stand up for you. Even if you really did something wrong, they can forgive you. In front of this kind of friend, what secrets can you not tell? The wind outside is still very cold and strong. It was still dark in the room. But at this moment, all they can feel is warmth and light.Because they know they have friends, they have true friends. Where there are friends, there is warmth and light. "No matter what happens, you are our friend." Guo Dalu's blood was boiling. He would rather die than cry in front of others, but now the tears have flowed again. He would rather die than speak out the pain and secrets in his heart, but now he is willing to speak out. No one else could make him do that, only friends. He finally revealed his secret. There are many beautiful girls in Guo Dalu's hometown, the most beautiful one is Zhu Zhu. He fell in love with Zhu Zhu, and Zhu Zhu also loved him. He treats Zhu Zhu wholeheartedly, and he tells her that he is willing to dedicate his life and everything to her. He is not like other men who just talk and let it go. He really does. Zhu Zhu was very poor, and when Guo Dalu's parents passed away, she would not be. Because he knew that she belonged to him, and she also said that her whole being belonged to him. In order to make her trust him, in order to make her happy, he is willing to do anything. Then he discovered something. Zhu Zhu doesn't love him. Like many other women, what she said was just words. She promised to marry him and marry no one but him. They have even decided on a wedding date. But the day before their wedding, she had already married someone else. She betrayed everything Guo Dalu gave her and eloped with that man. This gold chain was what she had betrothed to him. And the only thing she gave him. No one spoke, and no one knew what to say. It was Guo Dalu who broke the silence first.He suddenly smiled and said, "You will never guess who she ran away with." Lin Taiping said: "Who?" Guo Dalu said: "My groom." He laughed loudly and continued: "I regard her as the most noble person in the world, almost as a fairy, but she elopes with the groom I despise the most. Do you think this is ridiculous?" not ridiculous. No one finds such a thing ridiculous. Only Guo Dalu kept laughing all the time, because he was afraid that he would cry if he stopped laughing. He kept laughing for a long time, then suddenly said: "This incident did teach me a very good lesson." Lin Taiping said: "What lesson?" He didn't really want to ask, but he suddenly felt that Guo Dalu should not be allowed to speak alone. He felt he should show that he cared deeply. Guo Dalu said: "The lesson is that a man must not respect a woman too much. If you respect her too much, she will think you are an idiot and think you are worthless." Yan Qi suddenly said: "You are wrong." Guo Dalu said: "Who said I was wrong?" Yan Qi said: "She did this not because you respect her - if a woman can do such a thing, there is only one reason." Guo Dalu said: "What is the reason?" Yan Qi said: "That's because she was born a bad woman." Guo Dalu was silent for a long time, finally nodded slowly, and said with a wry smile: "So I don't blame her, I only blame myself, I only blame myself for why I saw the wrong person." Wang Dong suddenly said: "This kind of thinking is not right." Guo Dalu said: "Isn't it?" Wang Dong said: "You have been suffering from this matter, just because you have been thinking about the worst, always feeling that she is deceiving you, always feeling that you have been dumped by others." Guo Dalu said: "Isn't it like this?" Wang Dong said: "You should at least think about it elsewhere." Guo Dalu said: "What should I think?" Wang Dong said: "Think about the good side." Guo Dalu smiled wryly, "I can't think of it." Wang Dong said: "Did you see what she and the groom did with your own eyes?" Guo Dalu said: "No." Wang Dong said: "Then how can you conclude that she eloped with the groom?" Guo Dalu was stunned, and said: "I... I am not the only one who thinks this way, everyone thinks this way." Wang Dong said: "What do others think, so do you? If others think you should eat shit, will you go or not?" Guo Dalu was speechless. Wang Dong said: "Everyone has prejudices. Those people don't understand her at all, how can they have a correct view of her? Besides, even good friends sometimes often have misunderstandings." He smiled, and continued slowly: "For example, in the incident just now, we probably misunderstood you, thought you were a cheapskate, and thought you were not enough friends." Guo Dalu said: "But she did disappear suddenly on the same day as the groom." Wang Dong said: "That may be just a coincidence." Guo Dalu said: "How can there be such a coincidence in the world?" Wang Dong said: "Yes. Not only yes, but often." Guo Dalu said: "Then why did they leave suddenly?" Wang Dong said: "Perhaps the groom thinks that doing this kind of thing is worthless, so he thinks of other places to seek development." Guo Dalu said: "Where's Zhu Zhu? What reason does she have to leave? I even prepared the sedan chair." Wang Dong said: "Why can't there be other reasons? That night, maybe something happened suddenly that you don't know about, forcing her to leave; maybe she couldn't help herself, she was kidnapped." Lin Taiping suddenly said: "Maybe she always wanted to explain to you, but she never had the chance." Yan Qi sighed, and said: "The most painful thing in the world may be knowing that others have misunderstood you, and you have been wronged but you can't explain it." Lin Taiping said: "What's more painful is that others never gave him a chance to explain." Wang Dong said: "The most painful thing is that some things can't be explained to others at all, for example..." Guo Dalu sighed and said: "For example, I didn't want to explain the incident just now. If I had left when you came just now, you might have misunderstood me forever." Wang Dong said: "Yes, have you figured it out now?" Guo Dalu nodded. Wang Dong said: "There are often many sides to one thing. If you are willing to think about the good side, you can live happily." Yan Qi said: "It's a pity that some people are unwilling, they want to think about the worst, they want to get into the wrong place." Wang Dong said: "This kind of person is not only stupid, but also looking for trouble for himself and abusing himself. I don't think you are such a person?" Guo Dalu laughed, and said loudly: "Whoever says I am this kind of person, I will flatten his nose." So if you want to have a painful secret in your heart, it is best to say it in front of your friends. Because a true friend can not only share your happiness, but also dissolve your pain. Guo Dalu suddenly felt much more comfortable and happy. Because he has no secrets. Because he has been able to see the bright side of things. When he came back from his dream in the middle of the night, even if he thought about this kind of thing again, he would no longer suffer from pain, at most he would feel a slight melancholy.A touch of melancholy is sometimes even a treat. "Although you are separated, maybe you can live a happier life." "She might also find a good home. As for you...if this change hadn't happened, you might be holding your baby and changing diapers every day, and you might be arguing every day over daily necessities." "But now you can both miss each other, miss those sweet memories, miss each other's goodness, and feel happier when you see each other again in the future." "It's okay even if we can't meet each other in the future, because at least you have a warm memory, so when you sit by the fire and enjoy the fire, you can have something warm to think about." "Everyone has their own destiny, you can't force it, and you don't have to force it." "So you have nothing to suffer at all." ——This is Wang Dong's final conclusion on this matter. After that, none of them mentioned the matter again, nor the golden chain again. Because they understood Guo Dalu's feelings and the value of this golden chain in his heart. The value of some things is often beyond the measure of others. Wang Dong was still lying on the bed, when he suddenly heard Guo Dalu shouting from outside: "Uncle is here." Guo Dalu has no uncle. "Niangjiu" means that the owner of the pawn shop is "flayed alive". Skinning alive is of course not real life, in fact it is not very skinning, at most he just scrapes the oil and water on your body-of course it is quite thorough. The strange thing is that the more people want to shave people, the less fat they will grow. He looks like a dried-up wild rabbit, always hunchbacked, squinting, always looking at you from the corner of his eyes when he talks, as if he is always looking at how much money you have on you. Although Wang Dong and the others often visited him, this was his first time here. So Wang Dong managed to get up reluctantly. If a person like Huo Skinning is willing to climb the mountain for more than half an hour to "visit" a person, there is usually only one reason. The reason is usually the same as a weasel visiting a chicken. When Wang Dong walked into the living room, Guo Dalu was smiling and asked: "Which gust of wind brought you here, do you want to buy this house of Wang Dong?" He knew that Wang Dong had at least twenty ways to sell the house, but unfortunately, it seemed that even if he gave it to others for free, no one wanted it. Huopi's head shook as if it would fall off his neck at any moment, and he said with a dry smile: "How can I afford such a big house? Since I met you, I almost lost all my money, so I won't sell it." The house has been lucky." Guo Dalu said: "What if he is willing to sell it cheap?" Skinned alive: "What do I buy it for?" Guo Dalu said: "You can transfer it to others, or you can live in it yourself." Huopi smiled and said, "Who would live in a place like this if there is nothing wrong with it?" Guo Dalu still wanted to do business again, so he said, "Are you short of money now?" Wang Dong smiled and said, "When will we not be short of money?" Skinned alive and said: "Then do you want to earn five hundred taels of silver for nothing?" "Of course I do." But no one knows that the money of live skinning will never be easy to earn, and it may be easier to pluck the root hair from the tiger's head.Porcelain roosters have no hair to pull out at all. It's just that the temptation of five hundred taels of silver is too great. Guo Dalu blinked and said, "You mean five hundred taels?" Skinned alive and said: "A total of five hundred taels." Guo Dalu looked him up and down, and said, "Have you been drinking?" Huopi said: "I'm very sober, as long as you agree, I can pay half of the deposit now." He has always trusted these people, because he knows that although these people are penniless, their words are worth more than a thousand gold. Guo Dalu sighed and said, "How can I earn this money?" Huopi said: "It's very easy, as long as you follow me to the county town, you will get the money." Guo Dalu said: "Let's go? How to go?" Skinning alive said: "Of course I walk on two legs." Guo Dalu took two steps and said, "Is that how it is?" Skinned alive and said: "Yes." Guo Dalu said: "And then?" Skinned alive and said: "Then you can walk back with five hundred taels of silver." Guo Dalu said: "Is there anything else?" Skinned alive and said: "No." Guo Dalu looked at Wang Dong and said with a smile, "You can earn five hundred taels of silver just by walking around. Have you ever heard of such a thing?" Wang Dong said: "No." Huopi said: "There are many things that you have never heard of, but they are not fake." Wang Dong said: "It's not a lie that you lost money." Huobaopi sighed, and said: "Recently, business has indeed become more and more difficult. There are many pawned people, but few redeemed people. The pawned things can't be sold, and the interest I want is less." Wang Dong nodded, looking very sympathetic. Guo Dalu couldn't help asking, "Since it's a loss-making business, why do you still do it?" Huo Pepi sighed: "That's also helpless, alas, who told me to choose this line of work?" Wang Dong said: "So you should keep the five hundred taels of silver for yourself and use it slowly." Huo Huo skinned and said: "That's different, that's what I am willing to let you earn." Wang Dong said indifferently: "Your money is not easy to come by. We only need to take five hundred taels for one trip. How can we have the nerve to do such a thing?" Huopi's pale face seemed to be a little red, and he coughed dryly: "Then why are you embarrassed? Besides, I want you to accompany me on this trip, of course there is a purpose." Wang Dong said: "What is the intention?" Huo Fapi coughed a few more times, forced a smile and said: "You can rest assured, anyway, you will not be asked to be robbers, nor will you be asked to kill people." Wang Dong said, "I won't go." Huo Fapi said in astonishment, "You don't want five hundred taels of silver?" Wang Dong said: "I don't want to." Skinned alive: "Why?" Wang Dong said: "There is no reason." Huopi was stunned for a while, then smiled again: "It doesn't matter if you don't go alone, I still..." Yan Qi suddenly said: "He is not alone." Skinned alive: "Aren't you going?" Yan Qi said: "I'm not going either, and there's no reason, if I don't go, I just won't go." Lin Taiping smiled and said: "I thought I was the only one who refused to go, but everyone is the same." In a hurry to peel the skin alive, he said loudly: "Is my silver not good? Haven't you taken it?" Wang Dong said lightly: "If we want your silver, we will naturally pawn it with things." Skinned alive and said: "I don't want your things, as long as you come with me, I will give you five hundred taels of silver, but you are not willing?" Wang Dong said: "Yes." Huopi seemed to jump up, and said loudly, "What's wrong with you guys?... I think you will starve to death sooner or later... It would be really strange if people like you are not poor." Wang Dong and the others are indeed a little bit wrong. It is true that they would rather die of poverty and starvation, but they would never want money from unknown sources. There's no shame in pawning things, they've pawned almost everything. But they are only things, not people. They would rather pawn their pants, but they must keep their dignity and conscience. They only do what they want to do and feel they should do. Everyone has to go to the toilet, and at least seven or eight times a day. It's not dirty, it's not funny, it's just so normal, common, and necessary that it doesn't deserve to be mentioned in our story anymore. If someone wants to write this kind of thing, then a story of 100,000 words can be written at least 200,000 words. But this kind of thing sometimes has to mention the toilet. When he returned to the living room, he found that Yan Qi and Lin Taiping seemed to have special expressions, as if they had something to say in their hearts, but they didn't want to say it. So Wang Dong didn't ask, he was always calm, and he knew that in this situation, if you want to ask, it's better to wait for them to speak out. Sure enough, Yan Qi couldn't hold his breath, and suddenly said: "Why don't you ask?" Wang Dong said: "Ask what?" Yan Qi said: "You didn't see that there is one person missing here." Wang Dong nodded and said, "It seems that one is missing." One person missing is Guo Dalu. Yan Qi said: "Why didn't you ask where he went?" Wang Dong smiled and said: "It doesn't matter where he goes, but if you must ask me, it doesn't matter if I ask." He sat down slowly, looked around, and asked, "Where did Xiao Guo go?" Yan Qi suddenly sneered and said, "You will never guess." Wang Dong said: "It's because I can't guess, so I have to ask." Yan Qi bit her lip, said: "Go after Huo Huo Skin, once Huo Huo Skin left, he chased him out." Wang Dong was a little strange, he frowned and said, "What are you doing chasing and skinning?"
