Chapter 49 - The Unlucky (2)
One afternoon, I walked to the back of a large tree and said to great valor, "Recently, I have been looking for you. Is there anything I can help you with?"
great valor shook his head. He shook his head very quickly, as if he was in a hurry to reject the proposal.
When I was saying those words, Xiao Bai and Li Ruoxi were there, but great valor didn't even look at them, it was obvious that he wasn't here to look for me, not even my family. Seeing this, I felt even more suspicious.
I followed his gaze and saw that I had made a mistake. He wasn't looking at us, he was looking at something at the back of our house.
Behind our house was a family, and behind that house was also a family. Within a hundred meters, our family was next to four or five neighbors, and I didn't know which family he was looking at. I shook my head, and didn't care who he was looking at anymore, as long as he didn't look at me.
But it wasn't over yet, and for the next week he did the same thing, and every time I saw him, I realized he was more or less wounded.
It's not strange for a person to be injured, but if great valor was injured, it would be very surprising. After all, when he defeated the tiger that year, he did not have a single wound on his body, and seeing here, I really could not endure it any longer. I unconsciously walked over, patted his shoulder and said: "great valor, I can see that you have a heavy heart, and you are often injured, but whether or not you have some problems, as our neighbor, we should always have some help.
great valor didn't want to tell me in the beginning, but after some hesitation, he decided to tell me the whole story.
So it turns out that great valor has been really unlucky recently.
Someone said that when people are unlucky, drinking cold water would cause them to grit their teeth. I had always thought that this was an exaggerated analogy, but after hearing about the recent encounters in great valor, I finally understood the meaning behind this sentence.
According to great valor, there were no firewood in great valor's house recently, so he decided to go up the mountain to chop firewood. However, he forgot to bring his sickle when he left the house, and hurriedly ran back home, but when he returned home, he realized that it was his turn to always wear the firewood at his waist. He sighed, on the other hand, was about to leave, but at this moment, he realized that his home, which originally had no firewood at all, had suddenly caught fire for no apparent reason.
Of course, this was just one of the small matters. It could be said to be a coincidence, but the next two matters were coincidental.
The second matter was a few days ago. great valor had driven to the village to buy some things, and an old friend called Li Jun had accompanied him.
The two of them walked together, but in the end the Cars did not stop at all when it reached a high speed intersection. The great valor, who was driving the Cars, continued to rush forward, at this time, his friend suddenly grabbed hold of the steering wheel, and forcefully braked. Only at this moment did great valor realize, who just happened to realise that there were many pedestrians, and at this moment, the intersection caught up to red light!
Afterwards, his friend asked him why did he go and hit someone when they were at a red light. great valor's answer was that he found out that there was no one on the Road at that time, and in his eyes, that was not red light at all.
What was even weirder was that not long after this incident, something happened in Li Jun's family and he was in urgent need of money. Thus, he came to look for great valor.
In the end, great valor's answer was that he did not have much money and did not have much on hand. Li Jun was so angry that he mistook great valor for someone who was stingy, and the two of them started arguing in the room.
While they were arguing, the great valor accidentally kicked down one of the dustbin. Li Jun looked at the dustbin and sneered: Bro, it's fine if you don't want to borrow money, but don't.
It was only then did great valor realize that his dustbin was filled with money. He counted it out carefully and found that it was at least ten to twenty thousand.
However, the great valor did not remember any of this. In his eyes, he only remembered that the dustbin s normally threw away some garbage, and his own family was not rich. It was when he was short on money, how could he throw his money inside the dustbin s!
It was at this time that great valor realized that he had been blinded by something recently. Whether it was the Road at the crossroads, the wealth within the dustbin, or the things originally very important in his life, they had all been casually discarded like trash.
After that, great valor gave four or five consecutive examples, each of which were common small matters in life, and each of them was not worth mentioning. Everyone had met each other before, but when these small matters were brought together, it made people feel that it was strange.
It was like a man who, in the morning, slipped on a banana peel and fell down once, by chance, twice, carelessly, but every day for a week or so he stepped on the same banana peel in different places and it was worth noting.
Hearing the great valor's words, I said to him, "You are indeed very unlucky, but I don't really understand why you keep sneaking in front of our door as if you were spying on us. It can't be that just because you did this, you will pass on your bad luck to others, right?"
