"When I was a child, I liked to eat sugar, but when I grew up, I realized that sugar wasn't the only thing in my life," Fei Xuechun said. ”

Tang Zhangwei said: "When I was a child, my life was filled with some cheap goods, although I worked hard, but success was always so far away from me. ”

Fei Xuechun said: "Don't talk about those things that spoil the fun, let's eat some fruit pie together!" ”

Tang Zhangwei said: "Okay, when you say that, I really feel a little hungry." ”

Tang Zhangwei and Fei Xuechun took out the fruit pie and ate it in a big gulp.

In Chang'an City, the happiest people are the pastry chefs from the Eastern Roman Empire.

Because they have successfully changed the eating habits of the people in Chang'an City, they used to like to eat the big road dishes in the oily and spicy seeds, but now they live a fine life and eat delicious food. These people lived their lives very sweetly, and of course even sweeter were the pastry chefs of the Eastern Roman Empire who made money.

"I didn't know you had mortgaged something from the old woman. This...... This...... Has it been a long time? In other words, was it a long time ago that you went to her? ”

"What a naïve fool!"

"When? ......" Raskolnikov paused, recalling, "I seem to have been to her three days before she died. But now I'm not going to redeem those things," he added, as if he were particularly interested in them, "for I have only one silver ruble left...... Because of that damn delirium yesterday! ……”

The words of delirium are particularly forceful.

"Well, yes, yes, yes," Razumikhin said quickly, not knowing which of his words, "so at that time...... You're a little surprised...... You know what, when you talk nonsense, you always mention rings and bracelets! …… Well, yes, right...... Clear, now everything is clear. "Don't be busy, I'm going to tell you all this somewhere today, ha-ha-ha! Make mom happy...... And let another person ......"

"I see! Hey, it turns out that this idea has spread among them! This man will be put to death in my place; I'm glad why the ring was mentioned when I was talking nonsense, now it's been figured out! They were all convinced of it! ……”

"Can we see him?" He asked aloud.

"Yes, yes," said Razumikhin, "man, he's a good lad, you'll know when you see him!" A little stupid, that is, he is a well-mannered person, and when I say he is stupid, I mean the other side. He is a smart person, smart, even smart, but his way of thinking is different from others...... Suspicious, suspicious of everything, brazen,...... Likes to deceive people, that is, not to deceive people, but to fool others...... His investigative methods are still old-fashioned, focusing only on evidence...... But he is very knowledgeable and proficient in business...... Last year, he also handled such a homicide case, and almost all the clues were broken, but he solved the case! He's very, very, very eager to get to know you. ”

"Why does he want to do so much?"

That is, it is not ...... You know, in recent times, since you got sick, I've talked to him a lot about you and about you...... Well, he listened,...... When I heard that you were studying law, but you didn't graduate because of your family background, I said, 'What a pity! So I concluded...... That is, it all comes together, not just that; Yesterday Zamytov ...... You know, Luo Jia, I was drunk yesterday, and when I sent you home, I said something boring to you...... So, man, I'm afraid, don't exaggerate my words, you need to know ......"

"What do you mean? Are you saying they think I'm crazy? Yes, maybe that's right. ”

He smiled reluctantly.

"Yes...... Yes...... That is, ignore it, no! …… Well, and everything I say (and the same goes for the side words), it's all drunken talk, nonsense. ”

"Why do you apologize! It's all annoying to me! Raskolnikov shouted in an exaggerated tone of indignation. Actually, he was kind of pretending.

"I know, I know, I understand. Believe me, I understand. I feel embarrassed to even say it......"

"If you're embarrassed, don't say it!"

Both of them stopped talking. Razumikhin was very happy, Raskolnikov sensed this and was disgusted by it. What Razumikhin had just said about Porfiri worried him again.

"Sing the song of Lazarus to this man, too," he thought, his face pale and his heart pounding, "and sing it more naturally." Not singing is the most natural. Don't sing anything as much as possible! No, as unnatural as possible...... Well, it depends...... We'll see...... Right now...... I'll go, is this good, or is it bad? Moths to the fire. The heart is beating, and that's not good! ……”

--------

(1) Meaning: Pretending to be an unfortunate person and complaining to others. There is a parable in the Bible that Lazarus was a poor man who lay in front of the door of a rich, hard-hearted man begging.

"It's in this gray house," Mr. Razumikhin said.

"Above all, Porfiri knows not to know that I have been to this witch's house yesterday...... Did you ask about the blood? This had to be made clear at once, as soon as he entered, and it was evident from his face; No, yes, yes...... Even if I'm going to die, I'm going to figure it out! ”

"You know what?" He suddenly said to Razumikhin with a sly smile on his face, "Dude, today I found that you have been very excited since the morning, right? ”

"What excitement? I'm not thrilled at all," Razumikhin shuddered.

"No, man, really, you can see that. You sat on the chair in a different way than usual, sitting on the edge of the chair for some reason, and you kept moving around unnaturally, as if you were cramping. And suddenly jumped up for no reason. One moment I love to lose my temper, and for another time I don't know why the expression on my face becomes so sweet, sweet like rock candy. You even blush; Especially when I invite you to lunch, you blush so much. ”

"There's no such thing at all; You are talking nonsense! …… What do I mean by that? ”

"How do you dodge like a schoolboy! Hey, hell, you're red again! ”

"But you're a pig!"

"But why are you embarrassed?
