Who moved my novel?

"What happened next?" Huo Yuan looked at Dong Peng and asked.

"Later, all the customers who came that day ate noodles, but didn't say anything. But the amazing thing is that they all came back within a few days to eat noodles again, and several of them told the boss that the taste had changed and they were almost eaten!" Dong Peng Said somewhat melancholy.

"This shows that the spice is effective!"

"Yes." Dong Peng nodded: "The spice is indeed effective. If it were you, what would you do?"

"Of course I will buy it again!" Huo Yuan said without thinking.

"Yes." Dong Peng nodded again: "The shop owner thought so too. He bought the spice again and used it to make the soup base. Facts have proved that his decision was correct. Soon, the shop owner The business is booming, not to mention the seats are packed, it can definitely be said to be booming. ”

"Then the boss should be able to realize his dream, right?"

"Originally, yes." Dong Peng nodded, then shook his head: "But later, when those people gave the boss spices, they gave him not the ground powder, but the whole spices."

"Is there any problem with this?" Huo Yuan asked puzzledly: "When making soup, is there a big difference between ground and whole? If so, you can grind it yourself."

"Indeed, these are not problems." Dong Peng sighed: "The problem is that those things are poppy shells!"

"What? Poppy shells?" Huo Yuan was startled: "Isn't that poison...?"

"Not really." Dong Peng shook his head: "But it does have some addictive properties, and it is an illegal additive."

"Then... what did the boss say?" Huo Yuan hesitated for a moment. If it were him, he was really not sure whether he could or would choose to give up.

"That boss is also very conflicted." Dong Peng looked at the sunset that was sinking deeper and deeper: "On one side, there are the expectations of his wife and children, and on the other side, there are the constraints of law and morality. He has been unable to sleep at night for several nights."

"What about the end?" Huo Yuan felt that he had guessed the ending, but that ending should not be a happy one.

"In the end, the boss gave in because he couldn't forget how his children lived when his business was in a downturn, and he couldn't forget that his wife secretly shed tears every day, but she still had to pretend to be strong and encourage herself in front of him... He finally Still chose to continue purchasing.”

"It's not that I can't understand it." Huo Yuan sighed. This situation was a difficult choice no matter who it was.

"With that 'spice' and his better and better cooking skills, the boss's business is getting better and better." Dong Peng closed his eyes slightly and sighed: "Until later he was killed and thrown into the soup pot Inside, it was cooked into a pot of fresh soup, along with his 'spice'."

"This..." Huo Yuan lowered his head slightly. He could understand what Dong Peng meant, and the person who killed the boss was probably the one in front of him. "

"Do you think he did something wrong?" Dong Peng opened his eyes and looked at Huo Yuan.

"Wrong." Huo Yuan said without hesitation, but after speaking he sighed: "But he was wrong for reasons."

"Then should he die?" Dong Peng continued to ask.

"This..." Huo Yuan hesitated: "Although he put illegal spices, it actually didn't have much impact..."

"Yes." Dong Peng nodded: "Then do you know what happened after his death?"

"After his death?" Huo Yuan looked at Dong Peng with some doubts. He thought there would be no follow-up to this incident.

"Yes, after he died!" Dong Peng nodded: "After he died, I went to his hometown and saw his wife and children there."

"They must be very sad, right?" Huo Yuan asked with his head lowered, looking a little depressed.

"No." Dong Peng shook his head: "Actually, they don't have time to grieve at all. When I went there, the shop owner was just over seven years old, but his wife already had to walk several kilometers every day to do odd jobs in the factories in the town, and among the several children The older ones have to start farming, and even the five- and six-year-old children are helping the family with some housework within their capacity to reduce the burden on their mother and older brothers and sisters. "

"They are so pitiful..." Huo Yuan looked a little intolerable.

"Now do you think I should kill that person?" Dong Peng asked again.

"..." This time, Huo Yuan did not answer.

"You hesitated." Dong Peng smiled slightly: "Yes, I regret it too."

"But it's not your fault. You didn't know it before you killed him..." Huo Yuan shook his head and tried to defend Dong Peng.

"I really didn't know before I killed him, but I knew after I killed him." Dong Peng looked at Huo Yuan blankly, his eyes full of unspeakable emotions: "And it's not just that person, there are many people, they This crime does not lead to death, but..."

"Dong Peng..." Huo Yuan stretched out his hand, but he didn't know how to comfort Dong Peng. In the end, he had to hang it down feebly.

"They all made mistakes for the sake of the people they wanted to protect, and the mistakes they made didn't cost more than their lives." Dong Peng once again cast his sights into the distance: "Do you understand? It's all because of me, them They have lost the ability to protect the love in their hearts forever, and it is because of me that their loved ones have lost their only support! "

"Then... maybe you can stop doing this? Or we can screen it carefully in the future. I can understand their motives, their lives, their relatives, their... In short, I can investigate a comprehensive information Here you go, so you don’t have to worry about killing the wrong person! "

"No..." Dong Peng shook his head: "It's impossible. I have lost the power to choose. All I can do is send Yi Yi away."
