I asked Fang Shisan to rest for a while, and then walked out with Alaiya and Fang Lita.
Walking to a place where no one was around, Fang Lita suddenly recovered his usual energetic appearance, and said to me:
"How about it, Lied, my acting skills are not bad."
Alaya carried a package on her body, which contained smashed pig bones. The sound of bones breaking just now was actually simulated, and Fang Lita is extremely healthy now. In fact, if I could beat him up, it would be able to express the grievance in my heart, but after weighing the pros and cons, I still chose to let him go.
A few nights ago, I went to the prison, found Fang Lita who was imprisoned, and asked him if he wanted to be the city lord again.
Of course Fang Lita thought, and I used this as a threat to get him to cooperate. The content of the cooperation was to scold Fang Shisan just now, instead of crying and hugging his sister's thigh as usual. In other words, I hope that he will clean up his relationship with Fang Shisan completely, and stop using his younger brother's status as a softie. In return, I can make him the city lord again. Fang Lita naturally agreed, but he also put forward a condition, which is to prove that I keep my promise, and I must guarantee his personal safety during this period.
I also agreed to come down.
So when Fang Lita asked me this, I smiled and said:
"The acting skills are good, quite good. Go ahead, go to He Yue first, and tell him the whole story. If he doesn't believe it, you can show him this letter, and he will help you return to the position of city lord. "
Fang Lita immediately became happy, thanked me one after another, and stopped asking about his sister at all.
I looked at his young and immature face, a little funny for a while, and said to him:
"If you become a prisoner in the future and you can't survive the beatings, remember to report my name to avoid death. Remember, you can only report my name if you can't stand the beating, otherwise it will not work. "
Fang Lita looked puzzled, I smiled and waved to him, saying:
"Go ahead, you will be the lord of Skystar City again soon, and Star City and Lixing City will return to your control again. After all, you are now the lord of the three cities, and I am the lord of the first city. Why are you being polite to me?"
Fang Lita thought for a while, and it seemed that this was the case, so he left excitedly.
After he's gone, it's just Alayah and I left here. Walking on the deserted streets, Alaiya remained silent. I turned to look at her, smiled and asked:
"Bad mood?"
Alaya replied:
"Master, there is no need to be this villain."
I didn't explain it either, and instead asked:
"Alaya, have you ever had a dog before?"
Alaya shook her head.
I said:
"I've seen other people raise dogs before, and they are extremely loyal dogs. That person is very poor and can't even afford meat every day, so his dog naturally has no bones to chew on. But if you use meat and bones to trick his family Your dog, his dog will not go with you, even if it eats something from you, it will eventually return to its owner obediently, for it, nothing is as important as its owner."
I said lightly:
"This kind of dog can't be chased away. Even if its owner throws it far away, it will find it by itself by smelling it. If it is kidnapped, it will be full of mania and keep barking. It tried everything possible to get back to its master. Even if its master died, it would still stand by the master's tombstone, not move, not eat or drink, and finally died in front of the master's tombstone."
Alaya listened quietly, absolutely not interjecting a word.
I turned around and said:
"The only way for such a dog to go away is for its master to stand guard at the door with a stick and beat him. Once he comes back, he breaks his legs, and when he comes back twice, he is blinded. Hit him Covered in blood, it will leave when its skin is torn apart, it hurts, it is scared, and it is full of despair about returning to this home. Other than that, there is no other way."
Alaya thought about it.
I yawned, it was no longer raining outside. The sun was shining in the sky, and the flowers smiled at me. Unfortunately, I didn't sleep well last night, and I really didn't have the energy to appreciate the beauty of this autumn. After a while, Alayya suddenly asked:
"But today, master, why..."
"Why do you want to be this villain in front of Fang Shisan?"
I asked. Alaya nodded.
I knew she didn't want me to be wronged, so I replied with a smile:
"Things that don't matter to me can greatly reduce the guilt in Fang Shisan's heart. In the future, when she thinks about what happened today, she will feel less sad. After all, I used her brother as a threat, and she as a sister It is also helpless to choose to bow your head, and in the end, you won three cities for your younger brother as the foundation of your life. The outside world will also have a much better reputation for her. To protect my younger brother, I have to commit myself to someone else's command, obviously the latter one is more sympathetic. Since I acquiesced that she will be from Yuxi City in the future, I have to think about her."
Alaya said softly:
"The young master is still kind-hearted as always."
I choked on my own saliva, coughed and asked:
"How did you come to this conclusion? Fang Lita was deceived into leaving seven out of ten cities, and Fang Shisan was beaten all over his body because I provoked their conflicts. He almost burped. I am kind? Can you take a break when you praise me??"
Alaya showed a ray of smile and said:
"Because just like the young master endured the ridicule of his brothers and sisters and took me in that year, this time, the young master also chose to be the villain himself. 'Being helpless', 'helpless', 'had to sacrifice myself for my brother', when every When everyone looks at Fang Shisan like this, they will also cast contemptuous glances at the young master who is on the evil side."
I said with a wry smile:
"There's still a lot of mess... It's a headache to think about it. Now I just ask Heyue not to ask me to settle accounts with a kitchen knife. This time, I don't need to think about it. I will return the three cities and replace them with Fang Shisan, who can't see immediate results. In the short term, it seems like a blowout."
Alaya chuckled.
I raised my head, looked at the sky, and said slowly:
"However, I still like dogs. A loyal dog, if its owner doesn't want it, it will follow me, and it will be loyal to me. As long as I am not like its owner, standing at the door with a stick to beat it , it will stay with me forever.”
Alaya suddenly said:
"If one day, the young master doesn't need Alaiya anymore, will he stand at the door and drive Alaiya away?"
I turned my head and glanced at her. Before I could speak, Alayya suddenly added:
"If there is a day, I hope the young master will not be merciful. Even if Alaiya dies at the door, she will not leave half a step."
I laughed and said:
"I'm not willing to do it."
Even so, my mood improved inexplicably. I took a deep breath and said to Alaya:
"Let's go, I still have something to do. Next, I'm going to visit the families of the soldiers who died this time."
Although Fang Shisan promised to come, the mess caused by this still needs a lot of energy to clean up.
