chasing the dark

Chapter 12 What is the most important
After a few days like this, it was time for weekend afternoon entertainment.

Because of his poor poker skills, Jiang Yu lost the qualification to play after a few hands.After watching the excitement for a while, I got up and went to the toilet.

When she came back, she saw Wang Ling sitting against the wall waving at her.

Jiang Yu walked over unhurriedly: "Want to go to the toilet?"

Ever since she hurt her foot, Wang Ling has been walking with her left foot on tiptoe, rubbing forward a little bit.When Jiang Yu saw it, he would go over to help her, but he never took the initiative to go over and ask her if she wanted to go to the bathroom or something.

Wang Ling shook her head and pointed to the place next to her: "They don't take you to play anyway, so why go back?"

"Who said you won't play with me? It's because I'm tired and don't want to play in person, okay?" Jiang Yu said as he sat on the bunk.

Wang Ling had a look of disgust on her face: "The cards are played so badly, it's as if no one saw it."

"Hey, are you clairvoyant? Can you see the cards in my hand from such a distance?" Jiang Yu said and laughed.

Wang Ling glanced at her elbow: "Okay?"

Jiang Yu moved his arms a few times: "It's okay, at least playing poker is fine. How are you?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore." Wang Ling paused for a moment, "If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be hurt either, I still have to thank you."

"There's nothing to thank." Jiang Yu waved his hands, "Someone fell down, and I can just watch and ignore it?"

"Why are you being nice to me?" Wang Ling raised her eyes slightly, with a little inquiring look in her eyes.

"It's all under the same roof, and it's still this kind of place. Help if you can..." Jiang Yuxiang suddenly understood something, and looked at each other in surprise, "You don't think I have any plans for you, do you?" ? Please, sister, my orientation is normal. Besides, I treat everyone the same, okay? Or... what do you think of me?"

While talking, she also tightened the collar of the blue vest.

Confused by her strange brain circuit, Wang Ling froze for a few seconds, then frowned suddenly: "What nonsense, I'm normal."

Jiang Yu let out a long breath, and said repeatedly: "That's good, that's good."

"I'm different from others." Wang Ling said in a low voice.

Jiang Yu didn't take it seriously: "What's different, no matter who you are, it's the same here."

Wang Ling said, "Didn't that witch tell you to stay away from me?"

He Xiangu murmured to Jiang Yu more than once, saying that Wang Ling was an ominous person, and whoever got involved would be unlucky.

Especially after Jiang Yu's arm was injured, he felt that his words had come true.

These words were said behind Wang Ling's back, and she overheard them somehow.

Jiang Yu chuckled: "Have you heard all this? Her ears are so good. If she is real, can she still be here?"

"She's right, I'm an unlucky person. Anyone who gets involved with me will have bad luck." Wang Ling said, "I don't have any relatives, and I suppress them all."

"Don't take everything on yourself, I don't believe in the theory of fate." Jiang Yu disagreed, and then said, "But I believe in cause and effect."

"Aren't you superstitious?" Wang Ling was puzzled.

"It's not what you think." Jiang Yu explained, "If there is a cause, there must be an effect, and if there is an effect, there must be a cause. For example, if you are injured, it will hurt. The injury is the cause, and the pain is the effect. If you don't sleep all night, especially Sleepiness. Lack of sleep is the cause, sleepiness is the effect. Can you say these are superstitions?"

Wang Ling shook her head.

Jiang Yu went on to say: "That's why it is always said to consider the consequences when doing things. For the same thing, you will get one result if you do it differently, and you will get another result if you do it differently. Just like He Xiangu, She danced for someone, and she came in. The cause of the dance is the cause, and the effect of coming in. If there was no such thing as the dance, she wouldn't have come in. Do you understand?"

Wang Ling didn't know what she was thinking, and it took her a long time to say, "Although that's what I said, there are some things that I can't help, and I have to do that."

"I don't think so. Tell me, what can't be solved?" Jiang Yu asked with his head tilted.

"For example, in our current situation, how to solve it?" Wang Ling raised a question.

Without even thinking about it, Jiang Yu blurted out: "It's not easy. Actively cooperate with the police investigation and strive for leniency. Get out of prison, behave actively, strive for a commutation of sentence, and return to society as soon as possible."

"I can hear cocoons in my ears for these great principles." Wang Ling waved her hands impatiently.

Jiang Yu said seriously: "Anyway, this is the most effective way to regain freedom. I didn't think of it before, but only after I came here did I realize that freedom is the most important thing."

"Not necessarily." Wang Ling said.

"Oh? Then what do you think is the most important? Money?" Jiang Yu deliberately turned the topic on money.

"Isn't it?" Wang Ling asked back.

"I don't deny the importance of money, but as long as you work hard, you can earn..."

Jiang Yu was halfway through speaking, when Wang Ling suddenly interrupted her: "How much money can you make just by strength?"

"At least food and clothing are not a problem." Jiang Yu shrugged.

"A person's life is not just enough to eat and clothe." Wang Ling sighed slightly, "There are so many places to spend money."

"For example?" Jiang Yu asked seemingly casually.

Wang Ling tapped the fingers of her left hand with her right hand and said, "Meals, rent, water and electricity bills... all of them cost money."

"You said it's over if you don't have enough food, clothing, housing, and transportation." Jiang Yu chuckled, "These are basic daily expenses, which are similar to what I said about food and clothing, and they don't cost much."

"People eat whole grains, and they get sick." Wang Ling lowered her eyes and said, "Seeing a doctor is so expensive now. If you don't have money, you can only wait to die."

"Who said that?" Jiang Yu sat up straight, "Let me tell you, I have a classmate. Her family is from the countryside. One winter, when her sister was adding firewood to the kang cave, she accidentally sparked." It splashed on the hair, because I sprayed it with hair gel, it caught fire immediately. Not only did the hair burn off, but also the face was burnt, and the cost of the operation was still a lot of money at home. Our school knew it, Calling on everyone to donate, and some people helped to release crowdfunding on the Internet. Later, her sister’s operation was very successful, and I heard that she got married last year.”

"I don't know each other online, is there really someone willing to donate?" Wang Ling asked curiously.

Jiang Yu said: "Of course you can't release it at will. Who knows if you are real or not. You have to apply on the crowdfunding platform and only release it after verification. Now there are a lot of good-hearted people. A piece of crowdfunding information often has thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people on the Internet." Thousands of people participated."

Wang Ling suddenly stopped talking. She leaned her head against the wall and closed her eyes.

Jiang Yu stared at her for a while, then asked in surprise, "Eh? What's wrong with you?"

Still maintaining that posture, Wang Ling said in a very low voice, "I'm sleepy, let's sleep for a while."

"Then go to sleep, I'll go play with them." Jiang Yu stood up, looked at her calmly, and then left.
