Chapter 725

The crowd did not know when it dispersed.

The hand holding Sheldon was also released, and he was thrown to the ground.

Shelton saw his mother squatting on the ground with her head bare.

It seemed so helpless and small.

He walked over step by step.

Stand in front of your mother.

Mother saw the little feet on the ground and knew who they were.

She looked up.

His face was blue and purple.

Trying hard to put a smile on Sheldon's face.

But that smile is uglier than crying.

"Sorry, Sheldon."

"No, Mom, you're not wrong."

Sheldon hugged his mother's bald head and pressed it tightly to his chest.

As if this can protect the mother.

Sheldon rolled up on the recliner and fell asleep with a blanket covering his body. He felt as if he was lying in his mother's arms, and his mother held him tightly. He felt extremely warm and at ease, and gradually fell asleep.

The next day, as usual, they sat down again and started talking.

Most of the time it is in the garden, sitting under the umbrella.

Talk about it.

They talked about a wide range of topics, such as astronomy, geography, current affairs and politics,

This 80 years old man has a lot of experience and knows a lot.

Sometimes he pretends to be deep, and sometimes he laughs like a child.

Sometimes he would call the servant: "Go buy ice cream, I want to eat ice cream."

"Okay, sir."

The servant agreed, and soon came back with a lot of ice cream on his bicycle.

"Eat, eat."

Sheldon watched them with a sly smile.

While everyone was eating ice cream, he secretly drank wine.

"This is the patent of your young people.

This is mine. "

Sheldon raised the small flagon in his hand and said.

After Zhu Yan and the others finished eating the ice cream, Sheldon continued to tell his story——

---

After coming out of the concentration camp, they stayed in France, but Sheldon was forced to separate from his mother, and he was sent to a reformatory.

Sheldon spent his teenage years in the penitentiary. In addition to receiving basic education, he also learned many other things.

If war was the first lesson in life for him, then he learned the second lesson in the penitentiary.

Sheldon: "Do you know that it's a crowded and complicated place. They form gangs, fight, steal and gamble, the big ones bully the small ones, the weak prey on the strong...Of course, they will also accept punishment from the correctional staff... everything Hey, I was really lucky to be able to come out of that place as an honor student."

Zhu Yan: "Luck is reserved for those who are prepared. In addition to good luck, you must also have extraordinary endurance and a smart mind."

Sheldon gave her an appreciative glance. Talking to smart people is easy.

After taking a sip of coffee, Sheldon continued to tell.

During his time in the reformatory, he never met his mother once.

But his mother would ask someone to bring him money. Although most of it went into the prison guard's pocket, he still got a small part.

It's the money that makes Sheldon's status in the penitentiary aloof.

Because of the money, the discipline is not so harsh on Sheldon, and Sheldon behaves very well. In the eyes of the discipline, he is so quiet and introverted, even a little shy, polite and hardworking.

Compared with those children who only know how to fight and make trouble all day long, Shelton is simply a good boy and a top student in their eyes, a model.

So much so that later Mr. Disciplinary and the nuns rewarded him with some small things and gadgets.

Sometimes it's a few pieces of candy, or pastries, sometimes it's a pen or a notebook or a book or something.

On the other hand, because of his money, other children like to be close to him, because Sheldon can get things that other children can't get, and he can talk to the discipline and the nanny.

The kids were there to get Sheldon's help or to get some sweets and cakes to eat.You can only listen to him, or use your own labor in exchange for it.

Sheldon has become a leader among children of the same age.

And those older children either disdain to care about his younger children, or they also have demands from him, as if they want to protect him.

So Sheldon's life in the reformatory was not bad, and he didn't suffer any crimes.

Until he reaches his full age, he needs to leave the correctional institution and be born in society.

There are two options, either to go to the mother, or to be independent.

He will go to his mother, but he will not depend on her. He has grown up and needs to be independent of society. After so many years in the correctional institution, he seems to be out of touch with society again.So he joined the French foreign mercenary service, which is equivalent to entering another reformatory.

Here he has the opportunity to learn more, exercise his body, and use him as a weapon to kill.

Only when you become strong can you not become the prey of others.

He went to the battlefield.

Luckily, he came back alive.

Then he started learning a technique.

Ready to find a stable job

He has a flexible mind, quick thinking, and a sensitivity to numbers.

Through his studies, he became an auditor.

It's a respectable profession.

Those who deal with him are some rich and wealthy businessmen.

He often flies to various countries in Europe.

After a few years of this kind of life, he felt dissatisfied again. He wanted to write down his experience, so he started to try writing.

Sheldon spoke very briefly about his experiences in the reformatory and the mercenary army.

Without using too much language, I quickly jumped to the back and started talking about writing.

"I first wrote a few short stories and published them in magazines, and then I was not satisfied, so I started to write long stories."

Zhu Yan: "You have such a rich life experience, of course you have to write it down, right?"

Sheldon: "Life experience is rich, hey, maybe..."

Sheldon: "I've read your novels, and a large part of them are realistic, right?"

Sheldon was ambiguous: "Maybe. There are my own personal experiences, and there are also things I made up."

Guo Qiqi: "Sir, you are clear-headed and well-organized, how could you make up things?"

"Hey, whatever you say is what you say. Everyone's understanding is different. What do you think? That's your business."

Zhu Yan: "Mr. Sheldon, you seem to have missed one thing."

"whats the matter?"

"A very important thing."

Sheldon: "There are a lot of things that happened to me in the correctional institution and the mercenary army. If I want to finish them all, it must be a few days and nights. I will record the main things in the memoirs Here you go, you'll see later."

Zhu Yan: "Before you came out of the correctional center and joined the mercenary regiment, you didn't say anything about what happened. Others are small things, this is the big thing!"

Sheldon became interested: "Great, none of you have read my memoirs, how do you know there is such a big event? Didn't I know about it myself? Or did you read reports about me elsewhere?"

Zhu Yan: "You know, Mr. Sheldon. You know better than any of us."

Sheldon: "What's that?"

Zhu Yan said word by word: "Salaht's death."
