Therefore, when the adjutant took out the cigarette, the men's eyes lit up.
Their lives are precarious, and they live in fear every day. Even if they don't have enough to eat or wear, sometimes it's hard to find edible food for almost a day. And whenever the weather is bad, it's almost impossible for them. It was a disaster, but they, these men, still had an extraordinary enthusiasm for cigarettes. They would sometimes find some trees in the forest, dry them, roll them up, and smoke them as cigarettes. The river is not a smoke river. In addition to the spicy smell of fireworks, they only sing their throats to death. Smoking this so-called "cigarette" is not enjoyable at all. But they still enjoy it, in their free time, or after eating When eating, they would have such a cigarette. Even if their eyes could not be opened by the smoke of this cigarette, and even if they were coughing repeatedly, they would still regard this as a rare enjoyment.
Now, they saw the cigarette in the adjutant's hand. Some of them had smoked it before, and their mouths almost salivated after seeing it. The taste of the cigarette was so wonderful that it was really unforgettable for them. Now they saw What they had never even thought about before was right in front of them, so how could they not be overjoyed, especially when the adjutant gave each of them a cigarette. Some of them took a deep drag on the cigarette and closed their eyes tightly. They keep breathing through their mouths, for fear that the smoke in their stomachs will escape prematurely. Most people have not smoked for a long time, and they are more lucky in smoking, so their heads are straight, and they can only sit on the ground and wait. The energy of the cigarette is over.
Jiang Cheng watched dumbfounded. Of course, he was calm on the surface. Well, how should I put it, his friends were all people with status and status. For the sake of health, many of them did not smoke. And some people can't stand smoking when around Jiang Cheng, or when Jiang Cheng is about to come. In this case, it's understandable that Jiang Cheng was surprised by the power of cigarettes.
The adjutant looked at these smokers with cold eyes. He did not smoke, and he hated the smell of cigarettes. When he was serving his sentence in the prison on the planet Asek, he was puzzled that the prisoners had such large cigarette cancer. , he had personally seen one prisoner blackmail another prisoner. In the end, the prisoner was beaten until he was black and blue before he handed over a few cigarettes under the quilt. Judging from his expression, it seemed that what he handed over was not cigarettes.
But the adjutant himself, because he didn't smoke, could always get some pocket money no matter how hard he was in prison. After seeing how powerful the cigarettes were, whenever he had money, he would use them Change to cigarettes, and then either sing to the boss in the prison, or take out one or two cigarettes for friends to smoke during the break. Seeing their overjoyed expressions, seeing them taking turns taking a cigarette and watching each other. , just in case anyone gets too greedy, the adjutant can't help but want to laugh.
He clearly remembered that there were several times when those guys with big mouths smoked half of a cigarette in one breath. Apart from being beaten up, no one ever shared cigarettes with him again.
When he was in the army, he was even more involved in murders caused by cigarettes.
Two sergeants fought for a pack of cigarettes in an embarrassing way. Some sergeants killed a whole family in a grocery store just because of a pack of cigarettes. Once, a sergeant A sergeant went to a small town to buy cigarettes, but he didn't know how other sergeants knew about it. The sergeant's body was found by the roadside, and no one cared about it. The cigarettes on his body were missing. Another time, an officer gave him a cigarette. The sergeant who smoked was tattooed to death.
Things like this are not uncommon in the army.
Therefore, the adjutant knows the power of cigarettes. There is an essential difference between him and Jiang Cheng. Jiang Cheng is very powerful and is the object of admiration and flattery from all districts and even many planets. Money is of no use to him at all, as long as he Opening up - Once, he just said in passing that the housekeeper, Lao Zhao, was running out of money and there seemed to be little money in his account.
Immediately, the people around him signaled their book transfers, assistants, etc. to take out various cards or checks and let Jiang Cheng use them. These people were all human beings. Of course they knew that once Jiang Cheng owed them this favor, they would wait until Jiang Cheng owed them this favor. When they needed his help, and the help they asked Jiang Cheng to help was extremely important and even related to their lives, no matter how much Jiang Cheng took, they were willing to do it.
Of course, Jiang Cheng has never experienced this once. These people are human beings, and he will only be smarter than these people. Of course he knows that once he owes these people a favor, when they need him to repay it, it will often be something extremely difficult. Although there are almost no things that Jiang Cheng can't solve, there are also things that Jiang Cheng can't solve. Won't do it.
Jiang Cheng can be said to be of noble birth, but the adjutant is just the child of a businessman. He understands human nature better than Jiang Cheng, especially since he has served time in prison. It is a gathering place of dark human nature. If you are not careful, you will be beaten severely. Okay, losing your life is nothing unusual.
Of course there are feelings between people, but more importantly, if feelings do not have certain benefits as a cover, the relationship will not be very strong. So the benefits may be large or small. This just depends on the worth of the other party. .
For example, if a celebrity is invited to attend the same banquet, the price will be higher if the celebrity is more famous, and the price will be lower if the celebrity is less famous. You can’t go wrong with the price of these two.
The adjutant once had the honor to attend a grand gathering of nobles on the planet Asaic. At the viewing platform, the front seat was reserved for distinguished guests. People like him would not have seats in the first place, but he In order to have face in front of his sweetheart, at least not to stand there looking shabby, he spent a large amount of money to buy a seat with a young nobleman, and the young nobleman happened to be in a hurry. Let's go, this way, everyone will be happy.
Therefore, the adjutant knows that if you want people to do things and listen to you, you only have to pay a corresponding price. The price can be feelings or money. Here, on Planet Sike, in front of these people, then, it is, cigarettes .
The price for getting these people to pick up guns is so low, just a pack or even a few cigarettes.
The adjutant was not in a hurry. He stood there quietly, waiting for the smoke from those people to pass.
Some people finish the cigarette in a few puffs, and then stand straight on the ground, enjoying the dazzling aroma that seems to be reaching the clouds, while some people smoke it in small sips and experience the cigarette. In and out of the mouth, slowly enter the body to prepare for the feeling of the organs.
