Chapter 82: The Selfish Ghost
"Sister Jiajia!"
"Sister Jiajia is here!"
"Did Sister Jiajia bring me a toy?"
In the dilapidated yard, with Guo Jia's arrival, several bouncing children suddenly came out from all over the place, surrounding Guo Jia who had just walked into the yard, and Guo Jia also greeted them one by one with a smile.
Zheng Jing stood at the gate of the courtyard, looking at the dilapidated sign that could barely see the word "orphanage" on it, and saw the children gathered around Guo Jia in the courtyard, and had a lot of doubts in his heart.
Don't look at the poor environment in which these children live, but they are wearing very new clothes, and some of them are still famous brands. And these little ones are all red-faced, just by looking at their lively appearance, you know that they must eat and drink well, and there are no symptoms of malnutrition.
But Zheng Jing also noticed that although these children were full of smiles on their faces, no different from ordinary children, they were vaguely inflexible when they moved.
Guo Jia, who has always dressed very simply, not only put on a brand-new black dress today, but also deliberately put on makeup when she went out, and at this time she was picking up a little boy, touching his head, and smiled gently: "Maotou, have you bullied your sister during the time that your sister didn't come?" ”
The little boy who was held in Guo Jia's arms shook his head vigorously: "No, no!" I will protect my sister, and if there are bad people bullying her, I will definitely drive the bad people away! ”
"Hehe, that's good, my sister will take you to buy toys later, you have to be obedient, okay?"
"Hmmm! Maotou is the most obedient. ”
A little girl pulled Guo Jia's skirt: "Sister! Sister! I want toys too. ”
"Don't worry, everyone has it, you can buy whatever you want, by the way, what about your grandfather?" Guo Jia looked around, as if looking for someone.
"Squeak-" A wooden door opened, and an old man with silver hair and only a large white sweatshirt on his body walked out of the room, and when he saw Guo Jia, he showed a kind smile: "It's Jiajia here." ”
Guo Jia had great respect for the old man, and as soon as he saw the old man, he immediately ran out of a group of children, like a primary school student who had been called to the office by a teacher, and stood up in front of the old man, before he asked with concern: "Dean, how are you doing lately?" ”
"Hehe, don't worry, the doctor said that I can live at least another ten years, enough to take care of these little ones when they grow up, cough cough ......" The old man pretended not to care, but suddenly coughed violently as he spoke.
Guo Jia's originally smiling face suddenly showed an anxious look, and he hurriedly helped the old man into the house.
"How many times have I told you to go to the hospital quickly to get this lung disease cured, why don't you listen to me?"
The old man smiled and waved his hand: "No need, if you have this money, you should buy more food for the children." ”
Guo Jia's face turned cold, and he took out a stack of banknotes from his bag and threw it on the table: "Is it just a matter of money?" I think that in this world, everything that can be solved with money is a small matter, since it is a small matter, hurry up and solve it, how much money do you need to come to me, in case you have any three long and two short, who will take care of these children? ”
The old man couldn't resist Guo Jia, and hurriedly agreed: "Okay, okay, I'll go to the hospital tomorrow for an examination, right?" Alas, in fact, I feel more sorry for you, although I don't know how you make all this money, but you are a girl's family, and it is not easy in society, right? Why do you have to pay so much to help these people who have nothing to do with you? ”
"I said, everything that can be solved with money in this world is a small matter, so don't ask so much." Guo Jia didn't answer the old man's question directly, and walked out of the house after speaking, Zheng Jing was already waiting outside the door.
"Is this guy who came with you your boyfriend?" As soon as he saw Zheng Jing, the old man didn't know how to say hello, he was a little afraid that this young man would dislike them after seeing their environment here, as well as Guo Jia.
"Hmm." Guo Jia nodded and smiled happily: "Don't worry, he's a good person." ”
"Hey, don't mess with me with a good guy card." Zheng Jing, whose ideal is to be a big profiteer, put his hands in his pockets, and said helplessly to Guo Jia that in front of the old man, he did not deny his relationship with Guo Jia.
"Alright, let's go." Guo Jia came up and took Zheng Jing's hand and left the orphanage, and pulled Zheng Jing outside the gate of the orphanage until he stopped, as if he didn't want the old people and children in the orphanage to hear something.
"How? Any thoughts after reading these? ”
"My biggest impression is that you guy, innocent schoolgirl, fraudster, philanthropist, shrewd businessman, I feel that you are a different person every day, which one is the real you?" Zheng Jing asked suspiciously.
Guo Jia squeezed out a complicated smile when she heard this: "That's right, these are just masks I use to disguise, do you want to ask what the real me is like under the mask?" I'm sorry, I don't even remember myself, but now I just live my life the way I like, do what I love, and pursue what I love. Don't mention that, don't you have any other thoughts since you've been here? ”
Zheng Jing touched his head in confusion and said, "What else do you think?" Do you want me to help those children? Of course I do, but I don't think they're short of money, and you've done a very good job. ”
Guo Jia lowered his head: "Yes, money is really a good thing, as long as there is money, these unfortunate children can live happily, and they can buy everything they want with money, but there are still too many things in this world that money can't buy, for example, their health." ”
"Are those children's illnesses so hard to treat?"
Guo Jia nodded: "No parent will abandon their biological flesh and blood for no reason, the reason why these children are orphaned is that most of them have some kind of birth defect at birth, and these congenital diseases are difficult to cure with the current medical level of the earth." ”
Suddenly, Guo Jia raised his head and looked at Zheng Jing's eyes: "Zheng Jing, you now have a strong ability, haven't you thought of using your ability to change this world?" ”
"...... you mean"
"For example, medical technology, there are too many people in this world who have lost their happiness because of illness, and the root cause of all this is because the medical level of the earth cannot cure their diseases. And you have access to resources from other worlds, if you introduce medical technology from advanced civilizations through your channels, will you be able to cure all the patients on the earth? It's more meaningful than making more money, haven't you ever considered it? ”
Introducing technology from other worlds to improve the medical level of the earth, indeed, this is not difficult for Zheng Jing.
However, facing Guo Jia's expectant gaze, Zheng Jing shook his head decisively: "I'm sorry, I can't do this, at least not now." ”
"Why!?" Guo Jia shouted excitedly.
"It's very simple, if you think about the power that humans now have, they can fly in the sky, they can swim in the sea, they can launch spaceships into outer space, and they can even manipulate the weather on the earth, even the legendary gods may not have such a powerful ability, right?
But human civilization, with such incredible power, is stable, has not been chaotic, has not been destroyed by destructive weapons of its own creation, and has not fallen into irrational pursuit for some unrealistic goal. Because this is the result of gradual development from generation to generation, little by little, if nuclear missiles, fighter planes and other weapons had been handed over to the barbarians of the Stone Age at the beginning, I am afraid that before they evolved to what we are now, human beings would have been completely wiped out due to cannibalism. These are the rules of evolution, and breaking them easily can only lead to many unpredictable and terrible consequences. ”
"Cut." Guo Jia pouted unhappily: "Having said so much, is it because you are afraid that breaking the stability of this world will adversely affect your own interests?" I'm not an outsider, and if you're just trying to protect your own interests, you don't need to make up such a hypocritical reason with me, selfish ghost. ”
Zheng Jing shrugged his shoulders: "I'm indeed a selfish ghost, no matter how I think about the chaos caused by changing this world, it's all harmful to me, why should I do this?" ”
"Ahhhh If you don't do it, you won't do it, and you won't say something nice to comfort me, hmph, ignore you. Guo Jia lost her temper and turned around to leave, but Zheng Jing quickly stopped her.
"Hey, I just said that I won't change the world for the time being, I didn't say I won't help you save these children, right? I can still do it if I just change the fate of some people around me. ”
Guo Jia opened her eyes excitedly: "Really? ”
Zheng Jing took a piece of the Sage's Stone in his hand, and nodded to Guo Jia with a smile: "Of course, it's just a matter of raising your hands, let's go and prepare first." ”
"Hmm!" Guo Jia nodded happily and ran back to the orphanage, leaving Zheng Jing looking at the Philosopher's Stone in his hand with a satisfied smile.
It is indeed an extremely selfish act to kill the philosopher's stone refined by people from other worlds, but it is used to treat earthlings, but Zheng Jing has never hated such selfishness.
