Chapter 40: The View
"Why did that nasty ghost say you're a smart person," Muhe looked up. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info a pair of watery eyes, full of curiosity asked Li Muqi, "And why are you a treacherous and cunning businessman." ”
"Because he knows what I'm thinking," Li Muqi said with a doting smile, "and he also knows why I did it." ”
"Why can't I understand a word?" Mu He said with a puzzled face, "Can you make it clear." ”
"No matter what dynasty or generation, when and where, it will always be the people of Li who suffer and suffer," Li Muqi's eyes rolled with a layer of tears, and he said slowly, "People who stand on a high place will never feel these pains, nor do they know, they don't understand these pains." ”
"I still don't understand. Mu He said with some frustration.
"Whether it's a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, it's always the people of Li who will be hurt," looking at Mu He's still somewhat puzzled eyes, Li Muqi sighed slightly, and said, "That nasty ghost you said knows my intentions - no matter how much grain I buy from him, I will only sell it at a higher price." Sell to those who are high up and down. And those people don't care about the so-called price at all. Li Muqi didn't want to mention Wang Jingju's name, he also felt disgusted.
"Who are those people?" Mu He wondered.
"Them. Li Muqi took a deep breath and said, "They are some people who have no heart, people who have been corrupted by money." Some of them are retired former court officials, some are local tyrants who got rich overnight, there are also opportunistic bullies, and unscrupulous businessmen. They have forgotten that they were once toilers and that they have forgotten their roots. ”
"They," Mu He said with curiosity still shining in his eyes, "why make them?"
Before Li Muqi could answer, Du Rukang continued, "Because the money is too easy to obtain, and they don't know the true value of those things, and they don't know how to use them, they only know how to squander them." And it's not a squander, it's a life. ”
"Then why don't they get out of here?"
"For them, what is the difference between this place and other places?" Du Rukang said with a faint smile, "This place is hell for those suffering Li people, but for them, it is not hell, but the most beautiful place to live." When they see the hungry people who are suffering, there will be an indescribable pride in their hearts, and when they see the expressions and pain on the faces of those hungry people, their hearts will be more comfortable and more enjoyable. ”
"Don't they have feelings in their hearts?"
"If they still have feelings in their hearts, how can they make a fortune and enjoy their wealth, which is not supposed to be theirs? Du Rukang's voice was a little hoarse, "Maybe they shouldn't be called humans, even animals." "What they are enjoying at this moment is what they see as being created by those who are in suffering, and they have never enjoyed what they have created. Just because they are the lowest people in society, and they are also the most miserable people. Li Muqi sighed lightly, "But God doesn't pity them and let them suffer like this." With a long sigh, he continued, "We are enjoying what they have created and squeezing on them." ”
"Actually, we can't change everything now, we can only look at everything now," Du Rukang said with a long sigh. "We feel more like people than they are: we know how to thank them, and we know how to appreciate them. ”
"If this is the difference between man and beast. Li Muqi said lightly, "If a person doesn't know how to be grateful, and they don't know how to be grateful, they are only afraid that they are not as good as animals." Animals also know these simple truths. ”
Mu He listened to Li Muqi and Du Rukang's words, his eyes slowly drooped, thinking about these words in his heart, and he was also asking himself softly: What kind of person is he, is he still eleven.
The difference between humans and animals may lie in that heart - a heart that knows how to be grateful, a heart that knows how to be grateful, and a heart that is sympathetic to the plight of others. If you don't have that, you might not even be as good as an animal.
"Fortunately, you are not a businessman," Du Rukang felt that the air was too dull, and laughed in a low voice, "If you are a businessman, I am afraid that the wealth of the world will be in your hands." ”
"I'm afraid I'll be so poor that I can't even afford an egg. Li Muqi's stiff face floated with a faint and almost invisible smile, and said, "How can I become the richest person in the world." ”
The Chosen Immortal Residence stands on the most prosperous street in Weizhou City. The prosperity is due to the bright lights and the sound of people here - full of all kinds of voices and all kinds of desires. And now, the voice is still the same, and the desire is still there. It's just that the most simple voice is missing, and the desire to chase dreams is missing, but there are many naked and disgusting desires.
Looking at the picturesque terraces with carved railings, those exquisite pavilions, who still has the sweat behind them, looking at the dusty woman who is coated with thick fat powder and swaggering through the window, with a smile on her face that does not know whether it is joy or sorrow, shaking her soft arms, showing off her posture, and pulling up the most primitive desires of the men with disgusting smiles. They are also a group of hard-working women, who use their youth, their most precious years, for a chance to survive, and those men are indulging their desires. It's just for their own selfish desires to spoil those women who are miserable. Maybe in the midst of hardship, there will always be some people who enjoy it, and they can always find a reason to comfort themselves: since they can't change, why don't they enjoy it, and slowly even forget this reason, indulge themselves, and completely immerse themselves in those desires.
Li Muqi looked at those smiling faces and asked himself: Maybe they know pain better than anyone else, but they have to learn to bury the pain in their hearts and weep silently in the dead of night.
Full of sad wet embroidery towels, who knows the miserable face. The flowers and flowers are weeping, and their faces are gradually haggard and self-pitying.
Li Muqi slowly moved his gaze, just as he was attracted by several scenes: dozens of hungry people lined up, silently waiting for life-sustaining food. Looking at the somewhat yellowed steamed bun in their hands, a tear flashed in the corner of Li Muqi's eyes. At this moment, a slight sound of footsteps sounded behind him.
The guy placed the teacup he was holding on the table and slowly walked into Li Muqi. Following Li Muqi's gaze, he also saw the group of thin hungry people. Looking at his appearance at this time, I felt a sense of happiness in my heart.
"The prosperity of the past is gone, and now only the pain is everywhere. Li Muqi's voice was filled with a thick sadness, "How prosperous it used to be, it couldn't withstand a storm." ”
"That's not it," although the guy didn't fully understand the meaning of Li Muqi's words, he could understand his words, shook his head and said, "Isn't that the most prosperous place there." ”
Looking in the direction of the guy's false finger - it was the land of fireworks, Li Muqi couldn't help but shake his head and said, "It's not prosperous, it's just a gorgeous reflection." ”
"Reflection?" the guy looked at Li Muqi with puzzled eyes. It was the first time he had heard someone describe Mom's place like that, and it was the only person in his life who had heard it say so. "Why did the guest officer describe it like that? ”
Li Muqi smiled but did not answer, looked at the suffering Li people, and sighed, "The state officials here love the people so much. ”
"Aimin?" the guy laughed, "it's just that you don't know why." ”
"Oh?" Li Muqi said with some curiosity, "Is there still an inside story of the society?"
The guy looked left and right, and said in a low voice, "This is just a scene that has only appeared in recent days, and it turns out that this is not the case. ”
"So what?"
"This..." The guy frowned slightly, thought for a long time, and said, "The villain forgot." He was afraid, afraid that he would talk too much and cause unnecessary trouble.
Li Muqi looked at the man's face, he already understood his worries in his heart, and he was no longer embarrassed by him, and said softly, "Since you have forgotten, don't think about it." ”
"Thank you, officer. The man was full of gratitude, and bowed.
The dishes on the table are absolutely delicious, but only one person has a big appetite and devours them. However, the look on his face, I don't know what those dishes taste, I can't tell if he likes it, or if he is barely swallowing.
If there is a person at the table who once had a life like him, he will be like him at this time. Years of experience in the battlefield have forced Li Antong to learn one thing: no matter what kind of pain he has experienced, he must eat the food in front of him and ignore it. What kind of food is that? If you don't, you're afraid that you don't have any energy and won't be able to do anything. Perhaps, tomorrow, at this time, I will no longer feel any sadness, only others are remembering memories, maybe they have forgotten themselves. You only see yourself in your dreams.
Although Li Muqi has not experienced Li Antong's life, he also knows why Li Antong is still like this at this time, and he also knows the truth told by Li Antong's life experience, but although he knows it, he doesn't know how to do it. At this time, it was really difficult for him to do what Li Antong did, although he kept telling that truth in his heart.
The gap between knowing and practicing is not just a little bit in words.
Looking at Li Antong's movements, Mu He's heart inexplicably welled up with anger - it was a kind of anger that Mu He couldn't say and couldn't understand, she didn't know why she was like this, and she didn't know who she was angry for.
