After I got into the drama, I led the plot astray

Zheng Xian's words were half true and half false, and I was too lazy to argue with him.

But the lamb chops were really delicious when grilled. Although they were only smeared with a little salt, the meat was tender and had no smell of mutton. I couldn't help but eat several pieces.

Zheng Xian kept pouring me wine, which made me drunk and tongue-tied.

At the end, when Zheng Xian poured me another glass of wine, I refused to drink it.

I said, reeking of alcohol: "Do you know that what I hate most in my life is being lied to."

Zheng Xian said: "I know, I know, I will never lie to you again."

“There’s a future?!” I said with my eyes wide open.

"Okay, okay, there is no future, no future." Zheng Xian said good-temperedly.

I said, "You invited me to dinner without even asking me if I rescued the person. If I didn't, wouldn't you be at a loss?"

Zheng Xian smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't rescue me. I will send someone else to rescue me. I just wanted to test your skills and courage, little brother. You really didn't let me down."

I was drunk at the time, and in my daze I didn't quite grasp the point of the sentence.

"Of course I didn't let you down!" I said as I took out the bag of silver from my arms and threw it on the table. With a "bang", the bowl on the table was almost knocked to the ground.

I said, "Look, not only did I save the man, I also brought back a bag of silver. Am I awesome?"

Zheng Xian tried to hold back his laughter and said, "Great, very great."

I said, "With this bag of money, I won't have to worry about going hungry even if I don't have a job in the future. I can also use this money to support Zhao Jinping to go to school. He is such a smart child, but he has no education at such a young age. People cannot live without education. It is difficult to find a job without knowledge and culture."

After hearing what I said, Zheng Xian was obviously stunned.

He knew I was drunk and talking nonsense. He understood every word of what I said, but when they were put together, he had no idea what I was saying.

Fortunately, he was smart and guessed about 80% of the answer.

So he agreed with me and said, "The only way for poor people to succeed is to study. Your idea is correct."

I slammed the table and said, "That's right. No matter how poor I am, I can't let my children be poor."

Zheng Xian said, "Brother, you helped me, so I should give you something in return. But I don't have anything valuable with me today. I only have this jade pendant, which has been with me for many years. Although it is not valuable, it has some commemorative value. I will give it to you now, and I hope you will accept it."

I was drunk and reached out my hand several times to grab the jade pendant but failed. Zheng Xian simply pulled open my clothes in front of my chest and stuffed the jade pendant inside.

I patted my chest with my hands and said, "Thank you."

He didn't dare to pour me any more wine, so he asked someone to make some sobering tea and also brought a pot of plain tea.

He handed me a cup of tea and said, "Come on, little brother, have a cup of tea to sober up."

I waved my hands and said, "I don't want tea, I want wine."

Zheng Xian walked around with the teacup, then handed it to me and said, "Okay, here's the wine."

I took it and drank it all, smacked my lips, and said, "This wine tastes wrong, why is it bitter?"

Zheng Xian tried to hold back his laughter and said, "Bitter wine also tastes bitter, just like life, it can't always be sweet, you have to taste sour, bitter, spicy and salty."

I slammed the table and said, "You are so right. My dad always said that I have had it too easy in my life and have never suffered any setbacks. I will suffer a lot in the future. Look at me, studying, graduating, working, everything went smoothly. But God couldn't stand it and electrocuted me to death. I was dead, so I was reborn into the Zhao family. Do you know what the Zhao family is like? It's a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones. Thinking of the faces of Gui Lanting's family, I don't even want to live anymore. What's more, I had a fight with someone today."

At this point, I couldn't help but burst into tears.

I was so drunk and crying that I didn't notice the strange look on Zheng Xian's face.

After howling for a while, I continued, "I am a highly educated Chinese medicine doctor who usually speaks softly and teaches people to cultivate their minds and maintain their health. I actually got into a fight with someone! If my parents knew about this, they would be so sad!"

I held Zheng Xian's hand and cried as I talked. I cried so hard that my nose was a little blocked, so I took Zheng Xian's sleeve to wipe my nose and continued crying.

Zheng Xian pulled his sleeves back several times but failed. He patted my shoulder helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, since God has given you a chance to be reborn, you should live well and stop being sad."

I wiped my tears with his sleeve, looked up at him, and howled with a big mouth, "My parents didn't allow me to have a relationship when I was in school. Now that I've finally graduated, I thought I could finally have an earth-shattering, sea-shattering love affair, but God electrocuted me to death. I never even had a relationship. My death was unjust."

As I cried, my head tilted and I fell asleep on Zheng Xian.

I was huge and heavy, and I almost knocked Zheng Xian to the ground.

Fortunately, Zheng Xian was a martial artist and was very skilled. He hugged me with his face flushed red.

The last thing I was aware of was Zheng Xian’s loud roar: “Hurry up, someone! My waist is about to break!”

In the dim light, I felt a chill on my face.

It was like an electric shock, and I suddenly recalled the water that was constantly poured into my mouth and nose before I died. I screamed, flailing my arms and legs, and yelled, "I don't want to die, I don't want to die."

Yiping's voice rang in her ears: "Second sister, it's me, it's me!"

When I heard Yiping's voice, my heart inexplicably calmed down.

I slowly opened my eyes and saw Yi holding a handkerchief and looking at me in horror.

I let out a long breath, reached out and gently held Yiping's shaking hand, and said, "Did I scare you?"

Yiping nodded and said in a trembling voice: "Second sister, did you have a nightmare?"

I shook my head and said, "This is not a nightmare, it is a fear that I will never forget in my life."

Yiping leaned her head against my chest and whispered, "Don't be afraid, second sister, you still have us.

I stroked her dark and soft hair and said, "With you here, I'm not afraid."

Yiping rubbed my chest, hugged me tightly, and said, "Don't look down on me because I'm small. I will definitely protect you."

I smiled and said, “I know.”

After saying that, I turned my head and was shocked. If I wasn't so fat, I would have bounced up long ago.

I screamed, "Why are we on the street?"

That's right, I was lying on a stone bench on the street!

It was quiet all around, with the doors of the houses on both sides of the street all closed. A gust of wind blew by, making a humming sound like a ghost's cry, which was very creepy. The lanterns on the roof beams were blown back and forth, and the dark red light with orange flickered in the darkness, just like the scene in a horror movie.

The hairs on my body stood up and I shouted, "Hurry, hurry, help me up."
