Chapter 8: Careers Without Dignity

"Ahh

A gust of wind blew, Ye Fan couldn't help but shrink his body, and raised his hand to rub his sour nose. I wondered in my heart, 'Who is scolding yourself?'

"As the saying goes: it is easy to attract cold when there is an injury. If you have a wound, go back to the house and rest, don't catch a cold. Ye Fan was pondering when a voice came from behind him.

"It's okay, I'm not that delicate. Ye Fan responded lightly, but did not look back.

He knew very well that although there were many people living in this courtyard, they would take the initiative to greet him and care about him, that is, the Qi father and daughter.

"It's better to be careful. After all, it's only April, and it's still quite cool in the morning and evening. After Qi Chaoqun draped a coarse cloth coat on Ye Fan's body, he also sat down next to him.

"What, haven't you been out lately?"

With that conversation at noon, there was a clear breakthrough in the relationship between the two. The communication again also seemed to be much smoother.

"What, do you have something to look for me?" Qi Chaoqun turned his head and looked at Ye Fan with some surprise. For the first time in two months, he took the initiative to care about his movements.

"It's okay, just ask. Ye Fan looked up at the sky, and his tone was flat without any waves.

Qi Chaoqun seemed to see Ye Fan's thoughts, since he didn't take the initiative to ask, there was no need for him to break it. Besides, it's not time for a showdown.

So, no one from the old and the young spoke out again. Each has his own thoughts, but looks up at the sky in the same posture.

"Have you made statistics, how many disciples are there in the beggar gang now?" I don't know how long it took, when the sky gradually became dark, Ye Fan retracted his gaze and took the lead in breaking the silence.

"Well, I really haven't counted it. A lot. Anyway, it's a lot more than in previous years. Qi Chaoqun shook his head and replied directly.

"So, you're not a good leader. ”

"In such a chaotic situation, the number of displaced people is increasing every day. Besides, they won't take the initiative to report to the gang, so how can we do statistics. Speaking of these, Qi Chaoqun also looked a little helpless.

"You don't have to blame yourself. The root of all this is not in you. Ye Fan nodded and sighed heavily.

Human beings are a product of the times. People's thoughts, consciousness, and behavior patterns are inseparable from the times in which they live. The profession of beggar is becoming more and more special at the moment.

The reason why it is said to be a profession is because of the era and environment in which Ye Fan lived before. In the civilized earth, in the twenty-first century, beggars are indeed a profession. Moreover, it is also a very lucrative profession.

But now. There is no food to eat, and there is no clothing. Not to mention making money. In this era, most of the people who became beggars were forced.

From ancient times to the present day, the beggar industry has been continuing. But the difference is that in some eras, there will be a lot of them, and in some times there will be very little. The era in which they live determines their number and the quality of their lives.

The current era is undoubtedly the most numerous, but also the most difficult time for them.

No way, it's all caused by the environment.

But as long as there is the slightest way, no one will do such a thing that is spurned and looked down upon. Especially in this era of the feudal class, begging is the most undignified.

In fact, lack of dignity is secondary, and the key is their situation, which is too difficult. It's not that people don't have empathy. The point is, most of us today are struggling to protect ourselves.

However, in the previous global village, why did the beggars of the 21st century live so well?

Because, it was a prosperous era, all material goods were abundant, and people did not lack material things. In addition, the gratitude of the recipient sublimates the inner spirit of the recipient. At the same time, vanity is satisfied.

"Then, have you ever thought about doing something for the current society and for them?" Qi Chaoqun asked tentatively.

"As far as I'm concerned, I'm not even an ordinary person, what can I do?"

Hearing Ye Fan give an ambiguous answer, Qi Chaoqun smiled. Although he did not give the desired answer, at least did not refuse. I have to say, it's a good start.

"The Buddha said: To be a hundred Buddha temple, it is better to live alone. If you have such medical skills, even if you can't save the world, if you can save more people, it will be a great merit. Qi Chaoqun continued to persuade.

"It doesn't matter to me if it's merit or not. After all, I'm not a noble person. After Ye Fan stretched, he sighed: "However, what you said, I will seriously consider it." ”

"Good. Just have your words. It doesn't matter if you treat the disease and save people, one day earlier or one day later. Right now, the most important thing is to take care of your body first. Qi Chaoqun patted Ye Fan's shoulder and stood up with a smile.

In order to let Ye Fan recover from his injuries well, let him also consider his suggestions. Qi Chaoqun specially arranged for his daughter to come and take care of her. After all, when he was in a coma before, he was always taken care of by Qi Nan.

Don't look at everyone calling Qi Nan tomboy, she is a delicate and kind-hearted girl. These people living in the ruined temple, as long as anyone has a headache and brain fever, she will send enthusiastic concern as soon as possible.

Qi Chaoqun asked his daughter to accompany Ye Fan, in fact, he had multiple intentions. Taking care of him is only one aspect, but also letting the tomboy keep an eye on him and not let him go outside and cause trouble.

The most important thing is to let my daughter find opportunities to talk to him more. It seems to be a very simple thing, but the person she needs to communicate with is Ye Fan, which makes it a little difficult.

Because, this guy is not the kind of person who is good at talking.

Qi Nan didn't know, what was wrong with this guy? Since he came to take care of him, he went to lie down in the house. It's like a lying corpse, silent.

Not only that, but he rarely slept. As he lay there, his eyes stared blankly at the dilapidated roof.

He never took the initiative to talk to the tomboy, and even if the tomboy took the initiative to talk to him, he didn't seem to hear it, with an indifferent expression.

It would have been nice if he had been asleep like before. After all, I can still find time to go out and breathe. But this time, Dad specially explained that he wanted her to guard every inch.

What is it like to count the days on your fingers?

Torment, definitely a torment. If it was only for a while, Qi Nan could barely bear it, but if it was like this for several days in a row, Qi Nan couldn't bear it.

Looking at the silent and expressionless face, Qi Nan felt that she was about to go crazy. I want to have a seizure, but I can't. People are sick people, and they are the ones they have to take care of.

So, Qi Nan had to think of other ways.

Qi Nan leaned against the wall with a dejected face, looked up at the big hole in the roof, and whispered: "It's so boring! It's so boring......"

However, this move of the tomboy chanting the scriptures had no effect on Ye Fan.

Seeing that the other party did not react at all, the tomboy rolled his eyes. Holding his chin with both hands, he stared directly at Ye Fan, and asked tentatively: "You always lie like this, will you be tired, will you feel bored?"

Hearing the tomboy's question, Ye Fan still didn't react, and he didn't even blink his eyes.

He's thinking, and naturally it's not boring. It's this tomboy, if she is allowed to accompany herself like this every day, she will definitely be suffocated.

"Alas, I have heard the old man say that proper activity is helpful for the recovery of the body. Why don't I go out for a walk with you?" the tomboy began to induce.

"What, I can't stand it?" This time, Ye Fan finally responded.

This girl, maybe it's the other way around. It's not so much that you go out for a walk with me, but that I accompany you out to breathe. ’

Without waiting for the tomboy to answer, Ye Fan sat up and said, "I'm fine." If you're bored, go out and leave me alone. ”

"How's that going to work? My duty is to take care of you inseparable. I left alone, and if my dad found out, he would have reprimanded me severely. ”

"Don't worry, I won't tell him. Ye Fan assured.

"No, I can't. Unless you come with me. The tomboy refused without hesitation.

I was bored just now, and I wanted to go out and let off steam. Why did you change your mind in a blink of an eye? Ye Fan looked at the tomboy with a flat face, and sighed in his heart: "Women, you are really fickle!"
