Chapter 11 Buying and Selling
Why do spells exist? Why do people accept it? I immersed myself in my own world and thought calmly.
People in the world will always have thousands of interpretations of things in the world, each of which is similar and contrary, and people are accustomed to looking at problems and solving problems in the way they are most familiar with, the safest, and the most profitable. Interests, from the beginning of the division of the word with the table, are destined not to be equal, human nature is selfish, and because of this, people are afraid of losing, losing what they have obtained or are pursuing, and people will use all the ways they can think of to chase, to fight, and even to fight. People are accustomed to measuring success by the amount of benefits obtained, but success is always only a minority, and more people are on the road to success or die on the road. Whatever the kind of person it is, people are afraid of losing, even if there is only hope left. People are blind and even frightened many times, quite a lot of the time, and people will use all the means they can find to protect their interests, even if it is something ethereal and illogical, pitiful and pathetic.
As night falls, the business of food stalls gradually booms, people gather in twos and threes to drink and drink, chat casually, and talk about trivial things whether they are happy or unhappy, but more about ancient and modern legends, celebrity anecdotes, and gossip. There are eyebrows and color dances, and there are low tones, but no matter what kind of it is, both the listener and the speaker have become accustomed to substituting themselves into the legend and transposing with them. The food stalls at night are ordinary, blazing, cozy, and peaceful.
"We have to decide on a place to hold the wedding banquet as soon as possible, I heard that the wedding banquet is very difficult to decide now." Feng Xiaolu said, her expression full of longing.
"Let's look at the house first, my parents don't have much savings, so let's find a house with a lower down payment first." Zhang Hui was a little helpless.
"Will find it." Feng Xiaolu shook the talisman bag, "It's a talisman that will bless us with happiness." ”
Happiness of 1,500 yuan, when did happiness become so cheap. The happiness we want is beautifully packaged in our hands or in the distance. I thought.
"Is the date set?" Sun Hao asked.
"No, probably in May next year." Zhang Hui said in a low voice.
"Congratulations, 108,000 miles, finally fruitful." Zhou Ying said with a smile, smiling very reluctantly.
Is it happiness that we want to hold tightly in our hands? Or is it interest? Maybe neither, we just want to live better, live better, enjoy life better.
"Sister Zhou Ying, you are going to be a bridesmaid then, and Sun Hao, you are the chief best man and coachman, doing chores, and waiters." Perhaps because she drank some wine, Feng Xiaolu was very excited. "And Luxue, you also have to be a bridesmaid, you are so beautiful don't waste it, and Xiaoshan, you, uh, forget it, the best man is still you, but I warn you, don't think of my wedding as your philosophical speech, do you hear? Hill? ”
"Brother Xiaoshan?" Ruxue screamed.
There are too many changes in this world, and we tend to become confused, suspicious, and suffer from gains and losses when we are in it.
"What's wrong with Brother Xiaoshan? It was as if he hadn't spoken since then, and he hadn't even moved. ”
"Zhang Hui." Sun Hao gestured to Zhang Hui.
Zhang Hui looked at me and then looked at Sun Hao. "There was also a situation when I was in college, according to Xiaoshan, he put himself in a four-dimensional space, and the correct way to say it is in a three-dimensional space in a four-dimensional space, that is, although we are still sitting together, we are in a different space from him."
"Why?"
"Who knows? As long as he is in this state, he will not react to anything we say or do, although he can hear and feel it. Maybe he's using this state to think about something or what he's running away from, who knows. ”
"You will never understand the world of madmen." Feng Xiaolu said meaningfully.
What we want most in such a world, what we care about most is a sense of security, we do everything we can to find it, do everything we can to maintain it, even if the power to maintain it is so ethereal, so pale and ridiculous, but in our world we will package it as a matter of course, whether it is a broken martial arts secret book bought from a beggar or a villain with only a big palm and six wings in a dream, and the amazing words, "You are the one I want to give happiness." "We will all gladly accept it and magnify it countless times, so that we can be convinced that we are the few people who have the key to success, and let us be kings in our own world.
"Brother Xiaoshan is so pitiful." I turned my head and heard Lu Xue say slowly.
Maybe that's why the spell exists, I thought.
The next day I blinked sleepy eyes, looked tired and went to work in the Internet café, yesterday I was a little tired from a day of travel, drank some wine in the evening, and had a very strange dream in the morning, when I woke up, my eyes were a little red and swollen, and I looked like I lacked sleep.
That dream is very weird, I've never had a dream like that, in fact, it's also, if the dream is not grotesque, if even the dream can be controlled, can it still be called a dream? I dreamed that I was on a mountain, and it was snowing, and the mountain was very big, and the snow was so big, I couldn't make out the direction at all, there was no sun in the sky, the snow was swirling in the wind, and the trees were tall and straight, and I finally found a stump, but the annual rings turned out to be standard concentric circles, and I counted the annual rings many times, but each time it was different, sometimes it was more than thirty, sometimes it was more than three hundred, there was no logic. In the end, I decided to find a place to hide before I could make sure I got out safely, and I found a hole in a leeward place, which was supposed to be a cave, which looked like it had been abandoned a long time ago. I got into the hole, at first it was very narrow, after walking a short time, it became spacious, and the body warmed up, I continued to walk forward, and suddenly found a white bear, the white bear looked at me obliquely, I was nervous and didn't know how to be good, and suddenly heard the white bear sing, "The first look at the spring flowers is red, and it has become winter in a blink of an eye, hurry, hurry, the year is easy to come to an end, and Shaoguang has passed away without a trace." ”
I woke up suddenly, and saw the mobile phone next to me continuing to sing, "Life, it's like a road, one moment west and one moment east, hurry, hurry." I rubbed my eyes and looked intently, it was already dawn, and I was in my room, and half of the quilt had fallen to the floor.
It's a new day, it's seven o'clock sharp, it's the same alarm, the difference is that I'm physically and mentally exhausted today, my eyes are red and swollen, and I still have to go to work. Work doesn't matter if you want it or not, it's there, it doesn't come, it doesn't go, you have to go.
When I arrived at the Internet café, Wang Huan was already sitting on her throne, Aunt Liu was cleaning, and I walked to the bar and took out the talisman bag and put it on the bar.
Wang Huan looked up at me, then at the talisman bag and asked, "What is this?" ”
"Charm, yesterday my friend went to a demi-immortal and asked for it." I Dao Wang Huan picked up the talisman bag and opened it, and looked at the yellow paper with unknown patterns drawn one foot long. "Why are you showing me this?"
"I think you might need to buy it, yes, I begged for it."
"You'd better keep it for yourself, it's said on the Internet that this kind of thing is useful if you ask for it yourself."
"I don't need it, what is this one for?"
"Fifty I bought it." Wang Huan seemed to be in spirit.
"It doesn't need extra assistance, it just needs to be carried on you." I said, "One hundred." ”
"As long as it's kept properly, it's effective for a long time."
"Two hundred."
"It can be layered with cosmetics."
"Three hundred, can't be more, good hill." Wang Huan said pitifully.
"And give me a beautiful talisman bag." I shrugged and continued.
"Four hundred, I bought it." Wang Huan gritted his teeth and said.
I shook my head and said, "No, I don't want money, I gave it to you, although it has many benefits, but it has not been experimentally proven, which means that those benefits may not exist." ”
"Don't want money?" Wang Huan calmed down, thought for a while and said, "Then I don't want it, I don't want to be a guinea pig for something I don't know." ”
"Who knows, didn't Aunt Liu say that if you believe it, you will have it, and if you don't believe it, you will have it."
"Yes, but you are a famous crow's mouth, and you are very accurate in saying bad things, so this thing is not good, and I can save some money." Wang Huan said very seriously.
"Whatever, then I'll give it to Aunt Liu."
"It's better not to, I advise you not to send it, in case it will be bad if it has the opposite effect because of your crow's mouth." Wang Huan glanced at me and said lightly.
I glanced at Wang Huan, thought about it, nodded and put the talisman bag back in my pocket.
Wang Huan sighed: "As the saying goes, if there is no business, there is no harm." ”
