I rely on talking to brush the copy

Le Jing learned from Le Zhengye that drug addiction is actually more of a mental addiction. The body can get rid of its dependence on drugs, but mental addiction is not so easy to eliminate. Therefore, most drug addicts will relapse after quitting drugs. Drug addicts harm others and themselves, and many people have lost their families and died because of drugs.

Although Le Jing inherited Li Jingran's memory, he only watched it from the perspective of a bystander, without a deep sense of substitution, and naturally did not have as strong a mental addiction as Li Jingran.

But if he smoked opium here today and felt the "wonder" of drugs, he would most likely become addicted to it, and it would be difficult to quit in the future.

Although Li Jingran's drug use made Li's father furious, judging from his practice of ordering him to quit drugs, he had not completely given up on his eldest son. If Li Jingran relapsed and continued to smoke in the house... that would be the time when Li's father would be completely discouraged and abandon his eldest son.

In this way, Le Jing can be sure that after Li's father dies, Li Jingran, the eldest son, will not get a penny of the Li family's property.

Wang is really good at calculating.

With Li Jingran's stupid character, he might be grateful for his stepmother's "consideration" at this time.

Once a person is addicted to drugs, he will become a beast who does not recognize his relatives and loses his mind - this is the advice Le Jing has heard from countless policemen.

It's a pity that Wang would never dream that there would be a strange thing in this world that would be resurrected by a corpse.

Le Jing originally wanted to quit drugs in a low-key manner before making plans, but now it seems that his plan has to be changed.

At least he can't stay in the Li's house. He can hide this time, but he may not be so lucky next time. As long as Wang is determined to make someone secretly bury opium in his food, all his efforts to quit drugs will be in vain.

This series of thoughts seemed numerous, but in fact they only flashed through Le Jing's mind. In the eyes of the servant, the young master was stunned for a moment, then gently turned his head to avoid the sunlight outside the window, and his pale and weak face was hidden in the shadows, obscure and inexplicable, "Madam... asked you to serve me to smoke?"

The servant felt a chill inexplicably in his heart. He intuitively felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it. He laughed dryly, "Yes, this is because Madam loves the young master..."

His habitual endless boasting was interrupted by the boy's chuckle.

The young master raised his chin slightly and looked at him. His dark eyes were like cold springs in winter. His words were clear and hoarse with an inexplicable rhythm: "My father strictly ordered me to quit smoking, saying that this opium is harmful to people, but Madam sent this harmful opium to me because she "loved me". Jing Ran was confused about Madam's intentions."

The servant choked, and he was rarely speechless as he was always eloquent.

Le Jing took a breath, his brain became more and more dizzy, his body was weak as if he would collapse on the ground in the next moment, he knew that this was the withdrawal reaction that was getting more and more serious. While he was still conscious, he had to solve this matter as soon as possible.

So he forced himself to stand up, grabbed the gift box presented by the servant, strode out of the door, threw the gift box hard on the ground, and tried to raise his voice to say to the courtyard where people were coming and going:

"Since the advent of opium, there are countless families who have lost their wealth and died suddenly in their prime because of this poison! Jingran was young and ignorant and went astray. Now, after hearing his father's words, he has come to his senses and decided to change his ways and quit opium. But today, the lady sent someone to send supplements to let her subordinates coax me to smoke. Jingran really wants to ask the lady what she is thinking!"

He didn't give the servant behind him a chance to react, and said quickly: "Jingran's biological mother died early, and although his stepmother Wang was promoted from a concubine, I believe that I serve her respectfully, As a junior, I have never criticized the mistakes of my elders. But if my mother is not kind, how can I be filial? ! "

He grabbed the stunned Li Shuran and said in a stern voice: "My sister is only thirteen years old, and she was promised to a sickly girl! I have inquired about the young master of that family. He is lustful and tyrannical. Jingran is my only sister. If she has any misfortune, how can I face my dead mother?"

The servant behind him also reacted. He staggered out and shouted loudly: "Young Master, you..."

But it was too late. Le Jing used his last strength to tear his voice: "Jingran's mother's family has no one. This matter may have to be handled by the elders of the Li family!" After that, he took Li Shuran's hand and strode out of the courtyard.

"Brother!" Li Shuran's stunned voice came from behind her, "Why...?"

The eldest brother tilted his head to look at her, with a warm smile on his face, and his tone was firm and made her heart tremble: "Don't be afraid, I'm here, I will protect you."

Li Shuran's nose was sore and her eyes were red. She never thought that one day she would hear these words from her brother.

The brother said he would protect her.

The brother still loves her.

So she forgot the subsequent anger of Li's father and the thundering methods of her stepmother. An endless courage emerged from her heart, and she suddenly feared nothing.

She quietly clenched the boy's thin fingers and looked at her brother's thin but tall back with infinite attachment. As long as there are still people in this world who love her, she is not afraid of anything.

Le Jing's sudden attack caught Wang off guard. When the intercepting troops sent by Wang chased out of the mansion, Le Jing and Li Shuran had already sat in the carriage leading to the ancestral home.

When Li Tingfang heard from the servants that Li Jingran and his sister were visiting, he was chatting and laughing with his good friend Wang Zhengbai.

Wang Zhengbai said solemnly: "In that case, I will take my leave."

"It's okay. You can hide behind the screen first." Li Tingfang's smile was a little ironic: "My nephew is just a playboy. Wait for me to get rid of him soon, and then I will have tea with you."

Soon two figures appeared on the other side of the door frame.

The leader was a thin young man in a gray gown. His face was pale, his lips were colorless, and he looked sick. The gray gown was loose on him, but his eyes were clear and bright. There was no sign of weakness and illness in his body, only a noble and upright spirit that made people feel proud. He walked calmly, and his weak body did not make his steps hesitate. His posture was upright, and his gown fluttered, like a strong bamboo in the wind.

He stood slightly in front of Li Tingfang, his lips slightly hooked, revealing a gentle and calm smile, and bowed to him and said: "My nephew Li Jingran greets my uncle."

Li Tingfang was stunned for a moment and was shocked.

The promising young man with good temperament in front of him turned out to be the dissolute and self-indulgent Li Jingran!

Li Tingfang looked at the sickly young man in front of him.

As a famous playboy in the clan, Li Jingran has always been an excellent negative example for them to teach their younger generations. Li Tingfang has of course seen Li Jingran, his nephew. Although they have only met briefly, he has been deeply impressed by his lust, frivolity, bullying, and narrow-mindedness. It can be said that he doesn't like Li Jingran very much.

However, the appearance of the young man in front of him can only be described as a complete transformation compared to the Li Jingran in his memory.

What happened to Li Jingran that made his temperament change so drastically? Li Tingfang was rarely curious.

Li Jingran said again: "This is my sister Shuran, Shuran, say hello to your uncle."

Only then did Li Tingfang pay some attention to the timid girl hiding behind Li Jingran. The girl was only in her teens, with a gentle and beautiful appearance. When she was called by her brother, she blushed and bowed to him, saying in a mosquito-like voice: "Shu Ran greets uncle."

Li Tingfang nodded slightly, asked the two to sit down, and ordered someone to serve tea. Li Jingran was seen leaning against the back of the chair in exhaustion, his face was pale, sweating profusely, and his whole body was shivering. He forced himself to hold the tea, but the tea spilled all over him.

"Nonsense!" Li Tingfang couldn't help but scolded: "Since you are sick, you should rest well! Come on, go find a doctor."

Le Jing felt relieved. Sure enough, it was the right decision for him to come to see Li Tingfang.

Li Jingran's biological mother died early, and his mother's family declined. He relied on Li's father's breath to survive. Therefore, even though Li Shu Ran was promised to such a family by Wang, Li Jingran's uncles had no objection. Since his mother's family could not be relied on, Le Jing could only think of a way out from his father's family.

At this moment, he thought of Li Tingfang.

Li Tingfang is also a famous person in later generations. He is known as the founder of Chinese secondary education. He is upright and upright, and is a gentleman with a history book as his endorsement. He spent all his family wealth to establish secondary education.

Nanming Middle School, where Li Jingran studied, is a private middle school founded by Li Tingfang. Nanming Middle School advocates teaching without distinction. Li Tingfang spent a lot of money to invite overseas students and foreigners to teach. The teaching staff is strong but the tuition is low. There are also scholarships for poor students. It is well-known in the local area.

Li Jingran, an unlearned and unskilled playboy, can enter such a school because of his surname.

As the patriarch of the Li family, Li Tingfang has always been highly respected. As long as he can be persuaded to temporarily protect Le Jing and his sister, when Le Jing successfully quits drugs, he will not have to be afraid of Li's father and others.

"No need to see a doctor." The young man coughed and said frankly: "I am weak now because I am addicted to smoking. When I quit smoking, my body will naturally get better."

"Quit smoking?" Li Tingfang was surprised: "You want to quit smoking?"

"Yes, I want to quit smoking." Le Jing replied calmly: "Since I became addicted to smoking, I found that the harm of tobacco is worse than that of a tiger. Since England brought this poison to our country, the emperor and the empress dowager above us smoke, and the peddlers below us also smoke. In the new era now, the revolutionaries are also smoking. Everyone is puffing and exhaling, and the tobacco poison hurts their brains and destroys their bodies. The army has no soldiers to use, and the farmers have no land to plant. If this continues, the country will no longer be a country!"

Li Tingfang looked at him with surprise.

He didn't expect that Li Jingran, a well-known dandy, would have such a clear understanding of opium. Thinking of the article he saw in the newspaper today by a "famous scholar" advocating the wonderful use of opium, in addition to ridicule, he felt more sadness.

A problem that a young boy can see clearly, but it's ridiculous that hundreds of millions of people in this great country can't understand it... or rather, they don't want to understand it.

Li Tingfang has seen those people who are addicted to smoking, all of whom are ugly and heartbreaking beasts, but Li Jingran can still stay sober and rational now, and gave such a clear and coherent answer. What a strong willpower it takes! Li Tingfang looked at him sideways, and his mind couldn't help but change a little.

It seems that rumors can't be trusted.

"I didn't expect that my nephew has such an accurate understanding of this drug, which is rare." Li Tingfang shook his head and sighed: "It's just that this drug is easy to get addicted, but it's hard to quit!"

"That's why I brought my younger sister to visit my uncle." Le Jing endured the discomfort, struggled to stand up and bowed deeply to Li Tingfang. His voice was weak and hoarse, but he was unyielding and firm: "Jingran begs uncle to help me quit smoking!"

Li Tingfang was surprised: "How do you want me to help you quit smoking?"

"Jing Ran knows that this request is very presumptuous, but my roommate is young, so now I can only shamelessly make an unkind request to my uncle." Le Jing straightened up, Su Rong said with cupped hands: "Please uncle, please take my brother and sister in." I will stay in your house temporarily for a month, and after you allow me to quit smoking, I will take my little sister away. "

Li Tingfang wondered: "You have a father and a mother, why do you want me to take you in to quit smoking?"

Le Jing didn't have the ridiculous feudal mentality that family scandals should not be publicized and that children should not discuss the faults of their fathers. Over the years, his father had taken concubines and killed his wife, and his stepmother had resorted to flattering and killing Li Tingfang one by one.

"I am a dull person. I have only been vaguely aware of my stepmother's plan in recent years. I simply followed it and pretended to be a fool so that I could hide it from my stepmother in order to survive. I didn't even show any flaws in front of Shuran. It's just that I am inexperienced. , was tempted by someone with ulterior motives to take opium for a while, and only then did he become addicted to the drug, and then he realized how powerful the drug was!

From then on, I couldn't afford to be sick. I lingered in bed and smoked every day, with no intention of getting down to business. Therefore, my stepmother arranged such an evil marriage for my sister-in-law, and I was unable to refute it because I was addicted to tobacco. "

Le Jing took a deep breath and said coldly in the silence of the whole room: "It was at that time that I completely made the decision to quit smoking."

Le Jing had no evidence to prove that Li Jingran's smoking incident was the result of Wang's handiwork, but he had an intuition that Wang's calculations were indispensable. Therefore, although he did not directly mention the Wang family, every sentence hinted that it was the Wang family, and he believed that Li Tingfang could understand it. As expected, after hearing what he said, Li Tingfang's expression became more solemn and anger appeared in his eyes.

The young man raised his head and met Li Tingfang's steady gaze. His face was pale, and his whole body was shaking unconsciously. However, his waist was still straight, his black eyes were cold and sharp like an unsheathed cold iron sword, and his voice was weak but powerful: " There are still two months before Shuran gets married. I will take advantage of these two months to quit smoking and then take Shuran away. "

He raised his head proudly, "I don't care about my father's family business. At present, the country is in crisis and war is everywhere. A good man has his ambitions in the world. He does not seek to leave a name in history, but only seeks to be used by the country. He is worthy of this life!"

Li Tingfang stared at the young man in gray shirt standing proudly, feeling a turmoil in his heart.

What kind of person cannot see through this when he lives to his age? No matter how bad Li Jingran's reputation is outside, he only believes in his own eyes.

After this conversation with Li Jingran, the image of a young hero who was determined, neither arrogant nor impetuous, endured humiliation, and had a bright future had been established in his mind.

Li Jingran said very little, but he could hear the strangeness, change and thrill in it. But if Li Jingran was a little frivolous because of his frustration, would he still be alive to this day? With this kid's character, now that the country is facing a crisis and everything is in ruins, there is no way he can really make a career!

No matter how turbulent he was in his heart, Li Tingfang maintained his usual composure and calmness on his face, "If what you said is true, why did you come to me today and ask me to help you quit smoking?" You should not recharge your batteries, bear the humiliation and bear the burden. Will you seek revenge in the future?

Le Jing sighed and told Li Tingfang about his stepmother's cigarette delivery today. "I will never smoke this opium again, it will destroy everything for me." He said in a solemn voice: "Jingran's mother clan is not obvious. After thinking about it, only my uncle can trust me."

"Oh?" Li Tingfang asked calmly, "Why do you think I would do evil to your father for your sake? And in terms of etiquette, I shouldn't interfere in your family affairs."

Le Jing said: "What my father and stepmother did has long been forbidden by etiquette and law. As the head of the Li clan, it is justifiable for you to interfere in this matter." He paused and calmly looked at Li Tingfang's eyes that could not tell whether he was happy or angry, "The reason why I I choose to seek help from you just because you are Li Tingfang.”

Li Tingfang was stunned: "What kind of answer is this?"

"Li Tingfang is an upright gentleman with a righteous heart, aspiration for the world, who would rather bend than bend, and is full of passion." The young man raised his eyes and said seriously: "I believe he will save me."

The words were spoken softly, but there was a heavy amount of trust in them.

Li Tingfang was dumbfounded for a moment, but finally couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and chuckle, shook his head and sighed: "That's all, I'll just mind my own business for a while."

What Li Tingye did was indeed outrageous. It was also his dereliction of duty as the clan leader that his legitimate son was treated so harshly by his stepmother. This son has separated from Li Tingye. If he helps him now, it will be regarded as a good fortune for the Li family.

As the saying goes, it is better to bully a white-headed man than to bully a poor young man.

Le Jing closed his eyes in peace and took a long breath of relief.

He bent down on his knees and kowtowed to Li Tingfang earnestly. Although his voice was soft, it contained a strong character: "I, Li Jingran, will avenge me and repay my kindness. My uncle's kindness at this time will never be forgotten by Jingran."

Wang Zhengbai walked out from behind the screen and sat down where Li Jingran had left. He frowned and said to Li Tingfang, "If you leave him here, I'm afraid Li Tingye won't let it go."

"Am I afraid of him?" Li Tingfang raised his eyebrows and smiled strangely: "I didn't expect that vulgar Li Tingye could give birth to a son with such a temper. I'm afraid he will regret it in the future!"

Wang Zhengbai smiled: "Are you so optimistic about that kid?" Having said that, he also admired Li Jingran in his heart. He listened clearly to the conversation between the two from behind the screen. In his opinion, Li Jingran has the ambition to stay in the clouds despite adversity. He has a leile character, a tough mind, and a measured approach to words and deeds. What's even more frightening is that he is only 16 years old. How will he be when he grows up?

Li Tingfang chuckled and said, "Do you know what I thought of when I saw him?"

"What?"

"If this boy doesn't fly, he will soar into the sky; if he doesn't sing, he will startle people."

Wang Zhengbai is well-read, so of course he knows the story of not singing for three years and then singing. The King of Chu Zhuang, who was addicted to wine and sex, did achieve great success in the future. So he stroked his beard and laughed, "The ancients said: A prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold. So I will wait and see."

Li Tingfang laughed heartily and said, "My Li family may have picked up a treasure this time!"

The author has something to say:

Li Tingfang: Why do you trust me so much?

Le Jing: Because your reliability is backed by history books!

My original name was Li Tingfang, but later I found out that there was such a person in the Republic of China after searching on Baidu, so I changed it to Li Tingfang233333
