Do not lie to me

Shang Xuechen was dragged by Xiao Ji all the way to the river, and only after he got closer did he realize what it was.Pots of turtles and carps were placed by the river, and someone with a loudspeaker loudly announced that it was a good thing to accumulate merit.

Shang Xuechen was told about cause and effect by people with loudspeakers, and the words karma hurt his ears, so he just wanted to leave quickly.Xiao Ji stood watching with relish, pointing to the man with the loudspeaker and asked, "Is that man preaching?"

Shang Xuechen looked up at the man with the trumpet, leather shoes and crocodile belt. He really didn't have an accurate answer to tell Xiaoji, so he had to tell him, "Just treat him as he is."

Xiao Ji looked at the grandpas and aunts sitting by the river with adoring expressions on the person holding a loudspeaker and declaring happiness, and then asked Shang Xuechen, "Is this equivalent to worship? Their faces The look on his face is the same as that of the priest listening to the Bible in the church. The way the Chinese worship is really special.”

The corners of Shang Xuechen's mouth twitched when he heard it, and he only said, "Diversified beliefs."

Xiao Ji became interested and insisted on sitting and listening together. Shang Xuechen was impatient with this kind of MLM-style evangelism, but Xiao Ji couldn't stop Xiao Ji from being curious about everything.Reluctantly, I was dragged to listen to it together, and accepted the baptism of which god I don't know.

"Releasing life is a good thing to accumulate merit. Both tortoise and carp have spirituality. Turtles live a long time, and carp will cross the dragon gate in the future. Let us release them together today, and the blessings will be delivered to your doorstep in the future."

While Shang Xuechen was listening, he had to explain to Xiao Ji why turtles and carp were the most spiritual.Shang Xuechen said solemnly, "There is an old saying in China, called the thousand-year-old king and 8-year-old tortoise. To release the tortoise is to pray for longevity. The carp is the predecessor of the dragon. Only by crossing the Nantian Gate can one transform into a dragon." , just like a caterpillar has to make a cocoon to become a butterfly. Maybe grandparents expect their children to have children and become dragons."

Xiao Ji pursed his lips and smiled straight after hearing this, "The stories in China are really interesting."

Shang Xuechen saw that he believed even his own casual deceit, but he just thought it was funny, but his face was still serious. When he asked something, he made up an explanation himself.

The person holding the loudspeaker has already reached the climax of the preaching, "Everyone, the ceremony of releasing lives will begin soon. Bad things often happen, and good things are rare. The blessings are also limited. I am trapped here today, waiting The basalts released by everyone are also rare, and there are not many of them, please buy them according to your needs."

It turned out that under the guise of releasing life, they cheated the elderly of their retirement money.Shang Xuechen saw that it was coming to an end, and was about to persuade Xiao Ji to leave. The person holding the trumpet said another sentence, "The merits of releasing lives are immeasurable. It will keep your house safe, your husband and wife will live in harmony, and your lover will last forever."

After hearing so much, the superstitious factor in Shang Xuechen, who had originally sneered at the Fangsheng Association, began to stir.

Xiaoji heard that at the end, he also realized that the purpose of this life-release meeting was not simple, and suddenly felt bored, and got up to leave, but saw Shang Xuechen still sitting still.He pulled Shang Xuechen, "Brother Chen? Aren't you going?"

Shang Xuechen was brought back to his senses by Xiaoji, but he didn't look at him, his eyes were lingering by the river, until he found a platform covered with yellow cloth surrounded by many middle-aged and elderly people, he got up and went to That person walks in the crowd.

Xiaoji didn't understand his actions, so he stopped him, "Brother Chen, why are you going?"

Shang Xuechen was in a hurry to pay for the turtle, so he pushed Xiaoji's hand away from his cuff, "I'm rushing to accumulate virtue."

"But it's a lie."

Shang Xuechen was not willing to listen, "You are too young to understand that animals have spirituality. He must be able to hear what is in your heart."

Xiaoji stood there and watched Shang Xuechen anxiously squeeze into the crowd. Before seeing him childishly showing off his wealth to himself, he felt that he was not a qualified adult. Looking at it now, he felt that he and those gray-haired people There is no difference between the confused elderly who believe in one mouthful of hair.Xiaoji stood there shaking his head, sighed with a look of worry, raised his head and rushed to the Huangtaizi who paid the payment, thinking of persuading Shang Xuechen to return to his reason.

Shang Xuechen didn't have any sense of reason, he squeezed through the crowd, slapped the table and shouted, "Give me four pairs!"

The person receiving the money shouted loudly, "Four pairs? All right, four pairs from the turtle and carp, everything will be smooth in the future, sir."

Hearing him shouting, Shang Xuechen suddenly felt that four pairs were not enough, so he immediately changed his words, "No, no, give me six pairs!"

The people on the stand looked at Shang Xuechen, their calculations overflowing with sinister smiles, Shang Xuechen, who is usually very good at reading people, was blinded and couldn't see the calculations inside, "Sir, why don't you come here?" Yes, from now on, life will be majestic in all directions, smooth in all directions, joyful in all directions..."

Hearing what he said, Shang Xuechen didn't care about the prestige, he only cared about Ji Shuping, he waved his hand and interrupted the man's words, "No, no, don't want eight, give me nine, for a long time!"

"Okay! I want nine pairs of turtles and carp, and my husband will be as good as ever in the future. The total is 99. Cash or credit card?"

Shang Xuechen took out his pocket, "Swipe the card!"

Xiaoji was too late to catch up, and Xuechen, who came to fashion, had already made a successful transaction, turned around and was happily going to the river to get the released creatures he bought, so as to accumulate merit for himself.Xiao Ji reluctantly followed Shang Xuechen to the river, watched Shang Xuechen squatting by the river, picked up the tortoise from the basin, held it in front of him, closed his eyes, and muttered something.

It was too far away for Xiaoji to hear clearly, so he took two steps forward, only to hear Shang Xuechen chanting, "Bless us for a long time." After speaking, he put the turtle in his hand into the river, and when he was done, The first tortoise picked up the carp in his hand again, closed his eyes and continued to read. Shang Xuechen went on and on like this, and Xiao Ji kept squatting beside him listening to these few words in his mouth, watching these words being labeled auspicious. The priceless carp and turtles swim leisurely into the water.

"Brother Chen, do you really believe that these things can bless you?"

When Shang Xuechen heard Xiao Ji asking him, he opened his eyes and put the turtle in his hand into the water, "I'm actually not sure. It's just that I'm very disturbed, and I always think of doing something to relieve this anxiety, so you laugh at me." It doesn't matter if you behave stupidly, or you think I'm abnormal and ridiculous. But only by doing these meaningless things and repeating them over and over again, can I be more sure that I will not be shaken." After Shang Xuechen finished speaking, he turned around and went to take the next one. Carp closed his eyes and continued to say, "Bless us for a long time."

"Is that so?" Xiaoji smiled and looked at the person next to him who closed his eyes and prayed, "Brother Chen, let me have one too. I've been feeling uneasy today too."

Shang Xuechen opened his eyes and let go of the carp in his hand, twisted his body, and blocked Xiao Ji with his back, for fear that he would come and snatch it, "I bought these, exactly nine pairs, and the price is exactly nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine, and you will share them." One, it’s not less than nine, you want to buy it yourself!”

Xiaoji laughed and teased him, "Brother Chen is really stingy."

Shang Xuechen didn't care if others said he was stingy, so let him be stingy, anyway, his generosity was only given to Ji Shuping, and he continued to release life with peace of mind.

Xiaoji was silent for a while, just stayed beside him and watched Shang Xuechen release them one by one.After releasing most of the animals in Shang Xuechen's hand, he asked, "Who is that?"

Shang Xuechen was busy releasing the animals, and asked him without raising his head, "Who are you talking about?"

Xiao Ji stared blankly at the surface of the water and asked him, "I mean, what kind of man is that in your heart?"

Shang Xuechen was so frightened by Xiaoji's straightforward question that the carp in his hand fell into the water. He watched the carp fall into the water, and instead of answering Xiaoji's question, he put his palms together and said, "Bless us forever!" For a long time." After reading, he automatically ignored the stubble just now, and continued to fish for turtles in the basin beside him.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Xiao Ji thought that he was angry at his abruptness, but he didn't intend to let it go, and asked persistently, "I'm just curious about what kind of person can make Brother Chen willing you, is there any kind of person in him?" How good is it?"

Shang Xuechen let go of the turtle in his hand before asking him, "How do you know it's a man's?"

"Dinning that day, I saw that the hickey marks on your body were obviously not left by a woman."

Shang Xuechen thought that was the case, but he blamed himself for not paying attention. He looked at the water surface, sparkling, and thought of Ji Shuping's eyes. A little wind blew up. The wind was not too small, and the black rope hanging around his neck followed suit. The wind was swaying, and the corner of Shang Xuechen's mouth raised a tenderness that Xiaoji had never seen before, and then he said in a different tone, "He is actually not a very good person. He looks serious. , played a lot of tricks on me behind the scenes. It's not gentle, the hands and feet are very heavy, and the lower mouth is also heavy. Didn't you see my hickey that day, and you don't know how strong his mouth is. Yes, he is a very bad person, don't look at him always smiling at people, he looks polite and modest, but he has a bad heart inside, and..."

When Xiao Ji heard Shang Xuechen start to rant, he couldn't stop talking, so he interrupted him and asked, "Then he is so bad, why are you still so devoted to him?"

Shang Xuechen laughed, didn't say anything, just said, "You are young, so you don't understand."

Unconvinced, Xiaoji insisted on asking, "I'm not a child of what age. I'm eighteen, and I'll understand if you tell me."

Shang Xuechen turned around and fished out a carp, "You see, I paid so much for these turtle carp, do you think it's expensive?"

Xiao Ji glanced at the turtles and carp beside Shang Xuechen, and said bluntly, "Expensive! It doesn't feel worth it at all."

"But I think it's worth it." Shang Xuechen smiled and put the carp into the water, "Because money is hard to buy, I like it."

"Hey! What are you doing, do you know that this is destroying the ecological balance!"

Hearing the sound, Xiaoji turned his head and saw a man wearing a hat and waving a stick walking towards this direction, but he didn't look like a policeman, so he turned to Shang Xuechen and asked, "Is he talking about us?"

Shang Xuechen continued to put the turtle in his hand, "Yes, that's the city management."

"Then shall we run?"

Shang Xuechen was a little anxious, "No! My long time is not over yet!"

Ji Shuping held the meeting all morning, just to quickly understand the progress of the project in hand, and to advance the projects that can be advanced first.After explaining everything that needs to be explained, he can rush to Ji's to prepare for the dinner.

On the way to the meeting, the phone rang several times. When his head rang, Ji Shuping took out his phone and looked at it. It was a text message reminding him of consumption. He thought that Shang Xuechen might have bought something with his card.After that, the phone rang several times, and Ji Shuping gradually lost his mind on the meeting. Listening to the vibrating sound of the phone, he thought about what Shang Xuechen had bought, but he couldn't accompany him tonight, otherwise he could take a text message. question about the file.

Ji Shuping was not stingy in calculating how much Shang Xuechen spent on him, but he was not around, so he couldn't help but wonder how Shang Xuechen spent his day today. This curiosity made him want to ask him if he was not around. When he was around, did he think about himself.

Thinking away, Ji Shuping felt that the meeting was boring for the first time, and was anxious to end the meeting, thinking of going out and calling Shang Xuechen to ask him what he was doing now.No matter what project report the supervisor is talking about, whether it is important or not, he interrupted directly, "Okay, let's stop here for today's meeting. I will talk about it next time, and next time I will make the PPT briefer and clearer. , mainly depends on data analysis.”

After finishing speaking, regardless of the panicked faces of the people present, he got up and left the meeting room, and took out his mobile phone to call Shang Xuechen.Before the phone could be dialed, Shang Xuechen's call came first.Ji Shuping looked at the names displayed on the lit screen, smiled knowingly, and after answering the phone, he wanted to tell Shang Xuechen how much they had a good understanding, "I wanted to call you just now, so you just..."

"Hello, we are from the police station. Is Shang Xuechen your friend? Please come here."

"The police station?" Ji Shuping just received a text message from Shang Xuechen, why did he arrive at the police station in just a short while?He didn't have time to think, he was only worried about Shang Xuechen's current situation, "Okay, I'll go right away."

Ji Shuping hung up the phone and didn't go back to his office. Without explaining to anyone, he turned around and took the elevator to the parking lot on the ground floor and drove to the police station.When he drove to the police station, he opened the glass door and shouted anxiously, "I am Shang Xuechen's guarantor! Where is he?!"

Hearing him standing in the hall and yelling, a policeman got up and looked at Ji Shuping, "Don't shout loudly, this is the police station. Bring out that urban management officer!"

Hit the urban management?Ji Shuping felt relieved, thinking that Shang Xuechen was being watched by Xu Xueshi to arrest him, and Shang Xuechen ran into the police station by himself when he had nowhere to go. Now it seems that he has nothing to do with Xu Xueshi, but why is Shang Xuechen so good? Are you going to fight the city management?

Shang Xuechen was led out from the inside, and he saw Ji Shuping as soon as he came out. Although he was very happy to see him, but when he saw Ji Shuping's fierce look, and thinking about his current situation, he had no choice but to avoid it first. Ji Shuping looked at him.

Ji Shuping saw the man, hurried up, touched his shoulder and asked, "How are you? Is there anything wrong?" After speaking, he grabbed his shoulder and checked the man from front to back.

The watching policeman took a sip of tea from his teacup, "What's wrong with him, he didn't get hurt at all, but he beat the urban management."

After confirming that the person was fine, Ji Shuping raised his body and asked the person, "Why did you beat the city management?"

Shang Xuechen wrinkled his face with a look of grievance, "I didn't hit him! I just pushed him accidentally."

The policeman watching from the side continued to answer, "I didn't hit him, so I just pushed him and pushed him into the river."

Ji Shuping stared at Shang Xuechen, "What's going on?"

Shang Xuechen twitched his lips and confessed, "There is a stall by the river in the park. I bought something and squatted by the river to play. The city management will confiscate it. He confiscated the stall. I am with you." All of them have already been paid for, and he came to rob him, and I pushed him anxiously, so I pushed him into the river."

"What exactly did you buy?"

Shang Xuechen lowered his head and said nothing, Ji Shuping turned his face to look at the policeman beside him, the policeman who had been watching by the side lowered his head and took a sip of water before raising his head to speak clearly for Shang Xuechen, "There is a stall in the park to deceive old people My wife, when the city management went to drive people away, the stall owner ran away in a hurry, and he was the only one who was squatting by the river playing with turtles. Those who were tricked into buying turtles were all old people, and I had never seen a young man being fooled, besides There are turtles and carp in pots next to him, the urban management only regards him as an accomplice, who knows that he is in a hurry, and directly pushes the urban management into the river. The onlookers thought it was a big deal, so they called us the police .”

"Turtle?" Ji Shuping looked at Shang Xuechen and asked, "Why do you buy so many turtles?"

"It's just that group of liars who lied to people that they bought their turtles..."

The police next to him wanted to interrupt, but was interrupted by Shang Xuechen. Shang Xuechen was afraid that Ji Shuping would find out that his behavior was ridiculous, "Comrade policeman, isn't there another guy with me? Where did he go?"

"He." The policeman next to him lowered his head and blew the tea in the water cup, "We dare not arrest that young man. was picked up."
