Chapter 42 I gave it my soul

Time flies back to that era.

"Do you want to make a deal with me, I can grant one of your wishes, and as a price, you have to give me your soul."

In that simple era, the dark-skinned man wearing an old overcoat nodded without hesitation when he saw the handsome man standing in front of him who was fairer than any city dweller he had ever seen.

"I would like to make a deal with you."

"What is your wish?"

"I want a thousand catties of rice, oh no, ten thousand catties of rice."

"Go back to the yard of your home and look. There will be [-] catties of rice there. When the rice runs out, I will come and take your soul."

The handsome man disappeared. When the dark-skinned man returned home, he found [-] catties of rice in his yard.

In that era of famine, even a catty of rice was precious, let alone [-] catties of polished rice.

……

A month later, the handsome man reappeared, looking at the yellow and thin man in front of him.

"I'm a little curious, [-] catties of rice is enough for you to survive the famine, why do you still look hungry?"

"Divided." The man replied calmly.

"Divided? The [-] jin of rice you bought at the price of your soul is divided like this. Who is it distributed to, your relatives?"

"A group of women and children who need food more than I do."

"why?"

"I can gnaw tree roots and eat wild vegetables, but they can't. I'm just a big bastard, and they represent the future and hope of the motherland."

The handsome man was silent, and glanced at the bright red badge on the man's chest.

"Give me your badge."

"why?"

"Your soul has been given to it, so according to the deal, I will take it away."

This time, the dark man was silent. He thought of the solemn oath he made under the flag a year ago:
I volunteer to join the organization, support the organization's program...work actively, strive for the construction of China for the rest of my life, and are ready to sacrifice everything for the organization and the people at any time...

"Remember, your soul belongs to it."

The handsome man took the badge and left. The dark man understood this, and a smile appeared on his face. It was it that kept him alive, and he would fight for it all his life.

Never betray.

……

In the ward, Li Zhenshan burst into tears. He never thought that his friend for many years would experience such a scene back then.

He knew about the [-] jin of rice, and it was the [-] jin of rice that Lao Qu took out that saved the life of the big guy at that time.

Although I also wondered where Lao Qu's rice came from, and Lao Qu couldn't explain it clearly, but at that time everyone didn't care so much, as long as there was something to eat.

He believed that what Lao Qu said was true, because that 1 catties of rice was as precious as [-] taels of gold back then. If it wasn't for such an incredible thing, how could Lao Qu get [-] catties of rice.

"Old Qu...we are sorry for you."

If it hadn't been for Lao Qu's badge being taken away, he wouldn't have been fired for losing his badge later on.

"Don't say sorry. If you feel sorry for me, after I'm buried, it's okay for your descendants to sweep my tomb. I don't have any children in my life. I heard that people like me will be punished if they go to the underworld." Bullied by other ghosts."

"Who dares!"

Li Zhenshan stared wide-eyed, and then his expression became disappointed again. He finally knew why the old man hadn't married a wife and had children for so many years, because he spent his whole life fulfilling that vow and promise.

"But speaking of it, if you really want to say it, you are willing to say it. I am still a little unwilling. It would be great if I could get that badge back before I die. I have lost it for so many years. I want to apologize to it and tell it , I finally lived up to my promise to it in this life.”

There was regret on Old Qu's face, and it was also the biggest regret in his life.

"Old Qu, I will find someone to look for that person now, and I will definitely help you get the badge back."

Seeing the regret on his old friend's face, Li Zhenshan wanted to act immediately, but was stopped by Qu Lao.

"Such a fairy character is so easy to find. Even if you find it, you can still be stronger if you don't give it to you. With your current status, you can scare other people, but you can't scare others."

"No... No, I'll go and beg him. I'll kneel down and kowtow to him. That's all right."

"You, just don't say a few angry words. You still kowtow at such a young age, like a child. Okay, it's almost enough to say, you can go, you stay here, people Doctors and nurses are not comfortable."

……

pawnshop.

Chen Xinyu appeared in the soul pawn shop, she came here after receiving a call from Li Zixuan.

Li Zixuan said on the phone that she needed 5 catties of rice, and she needed a badge. The [-] catties of rice cost about [-] yuan. The money was nothing. She was just curious as to what badge was worth the money, and the other party wanted rice without money. .

This is not an era of war, nor is it an era of famine. Except for grain merchants, who would store up so much rice that it would not only be too much to eat, but also rotten.

This is not the past. In the past, the common people had a rice vat in their homes, hoping to fill it up with rice. Nowadays, people buy as much as they eat, and they don’t eat old rice.

"Zixuan, are you sure you want to buy this badge?"

"Sister Xinyu, this badge is exactly the same as my grandfather's. I plan to buy it as a gift for my grandfather. The most important thing is that the boss is so handsome."

Chen Xinyu pulled Li Zixuan outside the door of the pawnshop, with a look of excitement on his face, Chen Xinyu glanced at Ming inside the pawnshop, indeed, this man's appearance was impeccable.

"[-] catties of rice, I am already on my way to be delivered, but I have also notified your brother, and your brother is probably coming soon."

"Ah, you told my brother, then my brother must be nagging again."

When Li Zixuan heard that her brother was also on the way, she looked a little flustered. When her brother came, he would definitely start nagging without saying a word. She knew it too well.

"Zixuan, your family background is unusual. If you really like this boy, if your brother agrees, you can save a lot of trouble. Otherwise, the elders in the family will know about it, and you will know the result."

Chen Xinyu comforted her, and Li Zixuan curled her lips. Of course, she knew that if the elders in the family knew the consequences of this incident, they would definitely ask her to return to the capital immediately.

"Besides, what's the use of being handsome alone, no matter how handsome you look, you'll get tired of it."

When she said this, Chen Xinyu didn't know why, Su Le's appearance appeared in her mind, maybe, it was because Su Le belonged to the type of not handsome.

"It's not because you're not particularly handsome. If you really want to be very handsome, you will never get tired of watching it. Just like game equipment, the durability of ordinary handsome guys is 10 days, the durability of super handsome guys is 100 days, and the super handsome guys are 1000 days. Like this If the boss is so handsome, it takes [-] days, enough time."

Li Zixuan's rebuttal made Chen Xinyu speechless for a while, it really made sense.
