"Why do you like money so much?" the middle-aged man asked again.

"Because money is a good thing, I like it, it's okay. Zhang Li Xiaohu snorted.

The middle-aged man looked at him silently and said, "People can deceive everyone, but they can't deceive themselves." ”

"Forget it, let's stay here. Zhang Li Xiaohu said angrily.

The middle-aged man no longer urged, but drank tea silently.

Spring goes to autumn, and Zhang Li Xiaohu doesn't know how long he has been sitting here, but he feels that he is losing something very important.

He couldn't say it, but it seemed important to him.

"Why do you have to ask me about this?" Zhang Li Xiaohu couldn't help but ask.

"Because you can't answer me. The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Everyone has secrets in their hearts that they can't tell people, and you are the same, you are willing to pay a huge price for this, even if you can't leave here, you won't say it." ”

Zhang Li Xiaohu was silent for a moment and said, "But now I am willing to say it again." ”

"It was a surprise to me. The middle-aged man looked surprised and said, "Why are you willing to tell your secret?"

"Because I have to face it eventually, in fact, people who know my past know about it, but they don't dare to mention it in front of me, and I can escape. Zhang Li Xiaohu chuckled, his fox face was a little thrillingly beautiful.

"My mother is a prostitute. Zhang Li Xiaohu looked down at the teacup that had long been out of tea, "If some children of the family are not talented, they can be a gentleman, and my father is like this." ”

"Like all clichés in this story, my father went to a brothel and prostituted my mother. ”

"The brothels had medicine to prevent you from conceiving a baby, but somehow she got pregnant with me. ”

When Zhang Li Xiaohu said this, his face was mocking: "Maybe it's deliberate, I want to jump into the dragon gate." ”

"Anyway, she went to my dad and put me in charge. ”

"My father is a merry man, where would he care about such a thing, besides, it's just a prostitute, a woman is pregnant with a child, who knows if it's his?"

"He had my mother kicked out, and my stupid mother didn't know what to think, she should have beaten me out, but she gave birth to me anyway. ”

"She didn't go to my father again, probably because she was dead, and in the first month after giving birth, she went to pick up customers, and I threw myself into the care of an old and decrepit prostitute. ”

Zhang Li Xiaohu sighed: "It's really a miracle that I survived. ”

"When I was a child, she was very cold to me, whether I was hungry or thirsty, she would not glance at me, and only gave me some money every month for the brothel as my living expenses there. ”

"She went to accompany those benefactors to make money, and when she made money, she went to gamble lavishly, but she was my mother after all, and I didn't blame her. ”

"Things changed when I was five years old, and the people of the Zhang Li family found me, you may not know, the people of the Zhang Li family are a little special, and they recognized me at a glance as a member of the Zhang Li family. Zhang Li Xiaohu pointed to his fox face with a pointed chin.

"For some reason, they didn't threaten the woman, and that woman bargained with the people of the Zhang Li family that day, and they bargained in front of me, treating me like a commodity. He smiled nervously, sadness streaming from his eyes.

"In the end, the price was agreed, and the people of Zhang Li's family paid 10,000 Xuan Yuan to take me away, and that woman could get 10,000 Xuan Yuan. ”

With a smile on her face, she asked me to go with the people of the Zhang Li family. ”

"I asked her, would the price be too cheap?"

She said that she also wanted to sell it at a high price, but the other party didn't increase the price, she thought that the price was okay, she still had a look of pity on her face, and said with a smile It's a pity that your Lao Tzu didn't come again, otherwise another one, and it can be sold for 10,000 yuan, and you don't have to worry about it in this life. ”

Zhang Li Xiaohu paused when he said this, and gathered all the emotions on his face, "Since that day, I have nothing to do with her. ”

"I don't want to be the most powerful monk, I want to be the richest person in the world, I want her to know what kind of God of Wealth she is selling!"

......

......

Tianxiang still can't make a hand at night, and if her tongue is gone, she may never hear her voice again.

She hated her voice, but she was afraid of losing it.

The emotions are mixed.

Later, she had to make a sound, because if she didn't make a sound, everything was gone, and when she opened her voice, the family's pampering returned to her.

She didn't want to lose the care of her loved ones.

She kept singing and singing.

Until her voice was hoarse, she continued to sing desperately, and her voice began to smoke, until one time her voice burned.

She lost her voice.

Her parents, grandmother, and everyone were watching her in horror and abandoning her.

She became mute, like her sister, and lost all love.

"What else can I do without my voice?" she asked herself.

She smiled sadly, "I'm good for nothing. ”

She pulled out the dagger that had tried to cut off her tongue and pressed it against her heart, ready to end her miserable life.

It's just that she stopped, because she felt unwilling.

"Am I going to die without a voice?" she asked herself, feeling a little ridiculous, "if that were the case, my life would be ridiculous." ”

"I can't die!"

......

......

The years are silent.

Under the teaching of his grandfather, Xiong Feixiu gradually grew into a qualified head of the family.

Grandpa died later, but he really took over the burden like a mountain, and his rickety back was never straightened again.

encountered several crises and relied on him to survive.

The Xiong family grew in his hands.

He never married, and the children of the Xiong family respected him very much.

But he was always left behind.

Hundreds of years later, his life came to an end.

looked at the familiar and strange children of the family who knelt on the ground.

He stared blankly at the ceiling, waiting for the arrival of the Shou Ghost.

"Is this all my life?"

"The Xiong family has not decayed in my hands, and such a life seems to be very good, but why do I feel unwilling?"

He frowned slightly.

"Perhaps...... Maybe...... It's because I died after I was fifteen. ”

"Died the moment he became the head of the house. ”

"I don't have the life I want, and I'm no longer the high-flying Xiong Feixiu. ”

"It's just that if you don't be the head of the Xiong family, how can you live up to the expectations of your grandfather and parents?

"But what do I do? Is my life wasted?"

He faintly saw the Shou Ghost appearing, he smiled softly, and he got the answer: "I can be the head of the Xiong family, but I can only do it in my way, otherwise I would rather not do it!"

That's his answer.
