Chapter 107 Noble people talk about self-esteem
It's August, the hottest time of the year. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoIt's just before eleven o'clock in the morning, but the scorching sun is already showing its power. The loess road leading to Linjiao County is filled with the smell of smoke and dust.
It seems to roast and melt people.
But despite this, Ye Li and Ye Zhun did not shed a drop of sweat on their bodies. The wind was blowing under the feet of the two of them, and they walked very fast. In the blink of an eye, the twenty-high road is long, and within half an hour, Ye Li and Ye Zhun have already arrived.
Ye Li hadn't experienced much before, but along the way, he really realized the desolation of Linjiao County. Along the way, there are wild Gobi and hills on both sides. It actually gives people a feeling of life and death in the desolate Gobi.
Entering Linjiao County, there are finally people. Linjiao County is said to be a county, but it can only be regarded as a village. Because the people here also live by their own farming and labor. Behind Linjiao County is a large expanse of farmland.
At the same time, the government also gives some relief to Linjiao County every year. But even so, the people of Linjiao County are still having a bad time.
Ye Li and Ye Zhun arrived at the Lunatic Cult church first. Around the church, there were many people guarding there. All of them were wary.
When Ye Li and Ye Zhun appeared, this group of people immediately surrounded them violently. A total of more than 100 ordinary people quickly surrounded Ye Zhun and Ye Li.
"What are you here for?" asked a man in his thirties among the common people. They all had kitchen knives, hoes, and sticks.
Heavily armed!
Such a siege seems to be as if Ye Li and Ye Zhun will be killed as long as they disagree with each other.
When Ye Li saw this posture, his heart was suddenly unhappy. He smiled coldly and said, "What did the master do, do I need to report to you?"
"You ......" The man was snatched away by Ye Li, and he couldn't help but be speechless. He didn't expect Ye Li to be surrounded by so many people, and he still spoke so bullishly.
Instead, an old man looked at Ye Li and said coldly: "In Linjiao County, it has always been rare to see a foreigner in a few years. What are you two strangers doing all of a sudden?"
Ye Li has always respected the old man, so he also said sincerely: "The elders ask each other, and they dare not hide it. We heard that there is a Lunatic cult here, so we came to see what happened. ā
The faces of the crowd suddenly changed. Immediately, someone shouted, "You are not welcome here, get out of here." ā
"Yes, you're not welcome. Someone else chimed in.
The old man seemed to have a high prestige, pressed his hand, and motioned for everyone to be quiet.
The crowd was quiet.
The old man said to Ye Li: "At present, we have encountered some things in Linjiao County, so the big guys are a little excited. However, Linjiao County has always been kind to people, so no matter what the purpose of your visit is, leave quickly. ā
"Okay. Ye Li glanced at Ye Zhun and then said. Then he turned and walked away.
When the group of ordinary people saw that Ye Li and Ye Zhun were leaving, they let go of a way.
Ye Li and Ye Zhun naturally didn't really leave, but hid to the side in an instant. Ye Li and Ye Zhun immediately saw that this group of ordinary people had returned to guard near the church. Even if the sun is scorching, they are still not afraid.
Ye Li locked the old man's qi, and at this time he closed his eyes and used the kung fu of transmitting sound into the secret.
The so-called sound transmission into the dense does not really force the sound into a line and reach the ears of people hundreds of meters away. It's heart-to-heart. The spirit gathers, and the spirit communicates.
Of course, Ye is about a meter away, and he can still force his voice into a line.
At this moment, Ye Li locked the old man's qi, and then transmitted the thoughts in his heart to the old man's mind. In ancient times, the Vajra Guru Daigo gave empowerment and touched the top of people's heads with his hands. I put the understanding and image in my heart into the hearts of others.
Ye Li's will to ask to meet alone. It wasn't that he spoke, it was like the old man suddenly felt a strong desire. Sometimes, you look at a child, and the child doesn't speak, and he doesn't make eye contact, but you can feel his loneliness and longing. At this moment, Ye Li's transmission of the secret is this similar magical power.
But Ye Li is obviously much more powerful. The old man was taken aback when he felt Ye Li's wish, and this old man was called Huo Bo.
Hubber began to realize that the person who transmitted the voice to himself had great powers. He has lived for such a long time, and his wisdom is always higher than that of ordinary people.
Driven by curiosity, Huo Bo decided to come and see Ye Li alone.
He said hello to the people around him and left alone.
Ye Li and Ye Zhun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw Huo Bo coming over.
Huo Bo came to a remote place, and Ye Li and Ye Zhun flashed out. "Hello, old man. Ye Li smiled slightly and said sincerely.
Ye Zhun also followed to say hello, he didn't know too much what Ye Li was going to do. But he wasn't in a hurry, so he stayed quietly aside. Huo Bo looked at Ye Li and said, "Last night, the Sage was killed, and Xiaoyue and the others said that even the Father had escaped. I guess this has something to do with you, right?"
Ye Li didn't hide it either, and said, "That's right. ā
Huo Bo's eyes became complicated, and he said, "Then what do you mean by looking for me today?"
Ye Li took a deep breath and said, "Old man, after our investigation, this so-called Father God still has a Holy One. It's true that they were all sent by Japanese tantric people. It's not a Tianshan Guru. ā
"I know. Hober said suddenly.
Ye Li and Ye Zhun were taken aback. Ye said puzzledly: "Old man, you are from the older generation. I know the most about modern history, and I can see that you are a person of prestige in Linjiao County. But why are you doing such abusion?"
"Come with me. Huo Bo glanced at Ye Li, sighed, and said. Then he turned and walked the other way. Ye Li and Ye Zhun glanced at each other, and then followed.
The place where Hopper took the two of them was Hopper's house. Hopper's home was three hundred meters ahead. After a while, Huo Bo opened the door and invited Ye Li and Ye Zhun to enter.
The house is a bungalow and not so bad. At least it won't leak wind in winter and rain in summer. But this house is also a kitchen, a living room, and a toilet. Nothing else. In the living room, there is only a table, a chair and a bed.
The only appliance is a tungsten lamp, an old-fashioned tungsten lamp.
"Just sit on the bed. Huo Bo took the pu fan himself, and then went to pour a cup of tea made from a large tea leaf for Ye Li and Ye Zhun respectively. Served in a porcelain bowl.
There is also a notch in the porcelain bowl.
"The conditions are simple, don't dislike the two little brothers. Hopper said.
Ye Li and Ye Zhun reluctantly smiled and said, "It's good." Hopper sat down in the chair across from them. There was a hint of bitterness in his eyes, and he said: "You are well-informed people, but you must also find it difficult to imagine how poor this Linjiao County is. Our land here is not good, and it is difficult to have a good harvest. In a famine year, if the government doesn't provide help, we can't survive. There was only one teacher in that elementary school, and the teacher was still the old guy among us, and there was something else taught there. The government doesn't care about this either, and we are hospitable to the college students who have been assigned to be teachers. But they stayed for one night at most, and then ran away the next day. ā
Hopper said this, fanning the wind. He said: "If the children don't study, it's useless to go out." Work as a coolie and earn some hard-earned money. But after the money is earned, I want to improve my family and build a building, but the bricks and tiles can't be transported at all. We made a joint request with the city to build a road, but the city said that the money was tight. If we want to fix it, we have to pay most of the money. We don't have enough to eat, and there is money to build roads!"
There was an endless sigh in Hobb's voice, and he continued: "The previous summer was better. We fan a fan and sleep. Now the summer is getting hotter and hotter. You can't imagine what it feels like to be immersed in water on a hot day, unable to sleep day and night!"
Ye Li and Ye Zhun listened attentively and did not speak. They could hear the helplessness and pain in it.
It is said that there is something hateful about the wretched. But on the other hand, hateful people also have helplessness. Huo Bo continued: "We people in Linjiao County are not afraid of hardship. We have endured enough hardship, but we are afraid that we will never live like this without hope. Living every day is for three meals, and there is no expectation. I don't know what I'm staying up like this for. However, the Lunatic Master gives us hope. He has indeed done many things to improve our lives. He and his apprentices were able to bring back a lot of grain from the field overnight, as well as fertilizer to change the quality of the soil. He was able to show us movies in the evenings. It can also generate electricity for every household. He is responsible for the electricity bills throughout our town. ā
Speaking of this, Huo Bo looked at Ye Li and Ye Zhun and said, "In this life, how many years can you wait and squander? And then come to love a country that never cares about us, do you think it's possible?"
Ye Li and Ye Zhun were speechless when questioned by Huo Bo. yes, why?
After a long while, Ye Li said: "Old man, but this Moon Worship Sect Master is playing and fooling everyone! This is trampling on human nature and destroying human morality!"
Huo Bo said lightly: "Only the noble people in the city will have the energy to talk about self-esteem and human nature. We people in Linjiao County just want to live. If you can live a little better, it will be Amitabha. As I said before, how many years can people wait in this life, squander? They live a miserable life, but the Lunatic Master gives them direction, faith. They are rejuvenated and no longer confused. That's enough, it's really enough. ā
Ye Li took a deep breath, and he didn't say any more high-sounding words. He got up and said, "Job, there are people in the city who are not doing anything. I give you justice. After all, the Moon Worship Sect Master has bad intentions, and you believe in him to quench your thirst. The Lunatic Master has been seriously injured by me, and he is sure to die. In other words, the Lunatic Master won't be able to help you in the future. But what the Lunatic Master was able to give you before, I will give you double. The first thing is to build roads first. ā
Huo Bo's face didn't change much, he glanced at Ye Li, and said: "Even if Linjiao County can really be improved according to what you said, it is just a compromise forced by your situation, hey......" In the end, it was a deep sigh.
