Life in a Small Town Chapter 13 Conversation
If you weren't a native of Jincheng, you wouldn't have seen that this woman in flower clothes, who didn't seem to be particularly different from other women in the market, was the owner of this Qili Lane.
This woman didn't know whether she had received any news, or if she had been instructed by someone, or if she had suddenly opened her mind, and she had been discussing with the hawkers for a long time on the street, but suddenly she went against the norm, not only sold all her family property, but also borrowed it from relatives and friends, and bought an entire alley of Qili Lane with all the money.
After Jincheng was promoted to a medium-sized city, that night, the threshold of this woman who became a wealthy man in Jincheng overnight was almost broken, and countless people came to congratulate her, and their words were trying to get closer or mend the relationship with the woman.
Unexpectedly, this woman had spent all her life on that desperate gamble, and no matter how much others flattered, the woman who slammed the door refused to leak a little benefit from her fingers for them.
Over time, the rest of the women, who had been willing to listen patiently to the woman's inconsequential things for most of the hour, became a little impatient.
It would be fine if the woman in the flower dress was polite when talking to others, but her worth has skyrocketed, and she is no longer the ordinary woman who spoke to others with a little submissiveness.
Seeing that the woman in the flower dress had been talking for a long time and still didn't mean to stop, the other women picked up the rice much more frequently, and soon they finished eating and left one after another.
Only the woman in the flower dress was left, still chanting words, and after a while, she sighed and moved her steps to leave.
Bian Maoshi was confused by the scene in front of him, he didn't quite understand why Gu Haosi could stare at this scene for so long.
The latter, who had been bland, had a smile on his face at some point, he turned his head and asked, "If it were outside, an ordinary cultivator, like you, suddenly had an opportunity, with a coveted treasure, and the news was spread everywhere, then what do you think would happen to you?"
Bian Maoshi replied without hesitation: "Being chased and killed, the head is in a different place." β
It is one of the eternal truths that the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty.
Although due to the formulation of the new rules a hundred years ago, monks are no longer unscrupulous in killing people, but this truth has not been broken, it is just that those monks who want to compete for the opportunity of others to think more about whether the value of this opportunity is worth their killing.
Gu Haosi nodded: " Outside, everything is inseparable from the so-called cultivation realm, cultivation is low, you have to be careful in everything, one is not careful, even your own opportunities can not be grasped, and here, this woman named Shi Chunli, before making a fortune or not, there is no background behind her, an ordinary woman, jumped to the richest man in Jincheng overnight, will inevitably be concerned by many people, but even if those people with their own thoughts change their ways to get some benefits from her, Shi Chunli can also be by her own slamming temperament, it doesn't matter if she doesn't give a little benefit, after so many years, because of her huge wealth, she has become more and more arrogant and domineering in her interactions with people, but she is still safe and sound, at most she has only suffered the white eyes of some others. β
Hearing this, Bian Maoshi already roughly knew what Gu Haosi was trying to express.
"I've been here for so many years, there have been almost no murders in Jincheng, in this small city, the people here, if they love each other, they can tie the knot, and live that day is as plain as water but don't need to worry too much, in this kind of place, even the couples who live the lowest life, they don't need to worry about food and clothing, not to mention the experience they have to suffer before they get together, probably only need to get the consent of both parents before getting married. β
"As for those who hate each other, at most, they are strangers when they meet, and then say some things behind their backs that don't know whether they are true or false and slander each other, which is more excessive than this, that is, a big fight after they can't bear it, maybe the two sides can release their suspicions because of this breath, but in any case, they will never and dare not do this kind of thought when they really flash in their hearts when they kill someone. β
"But on the outside, the line between love and hatred has long been blurred, the loved ones around you may smile at you and stab you in the back, and the enemy may also become your only support when you are in danger, and most people will not be able to find a companion who can be with them for a lifetime. β
Speaking of this, Gu Haosi suddenly asked: "Just like you, after living for such a long time, it is difficult to make a breakthrough in cultivation, but is there a companion or Taoist companion who can treat each other honestly without scruples?"
was suddenly asked this kind of question, Bian Maoshi didn't react for a while, and after being slightly stunned, his old face turned red and he shook his head in embarrassment.
"That's it, there are fewer and fewer places like Jincheng now, if these people know that there are monks in the world who are completely different from them, it will only make them more and more restless, no longer satisfied with the world under their feet, and they only want to drill outside, to see the sky and the earth outside, no matter how good or bad their qualifications are, as long as they don't look at the end of their own avenue like you, they will never give up, until the day when the oil runs out of light, they suddenly wake up to the fact that they have nothing but to pursue the ethereal avenue in this life, and they have sacrificed so much, in addition to the life span of dozens or hundreds of years, what else is thereοΌβ
Bian Maoshi's face became more and more ashamed, the words of Mr. Craftsman in front of him were exquisite, but he was a little not very beautiful when it came to him, fortunately, the kid was not there before, otherwise he would lose his face.
But he already fully understood what Gu Haosi meant.
Probably he didn't want other monks to come to Jincheng to destroy Jincheng like a paradise in his heart.
After a little deduction, this unreasonable master who was willing to be a bookmaker in such a small city should have suffered some kind of dissatisfaction outside, and came to seclusion in the mundane under depression.
Finally, let's unclear the clues in these words, maybe the thing he didn't want was betrayed by a close relative, and this close relative may be the companion who has been vaguely mentioned in the previous words or... Taoist couple.
Thinking of this, Bian Maoshi, who still felt a little embarrassed, suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
Such a master will be betrayed, and it is indeed a wise decision to immerse himself in cultivation and not find a Taoist companion.
Suddenly, he remembered something and asked, "I wonder if my predecessors have ever known a great power, and the world calls him a king, and these words of my predecessors are exactly the same as the ideas that this great power admires." β
Gu Haosi shook his head.
Bian Maoshi didn't continue to dwell on this topic, he just thought that Gu Haosi's thoughts might have been influenced by the well-known Renjun among the monks.
