Chapter 29: Faith and the Way of Survival
"Kuro!"
When Wu Ning didn't know what was wrong, Wu Changlu spoke leisurely.
"Among you juniors, the person who Sibo admires the most is you. You kid has enough brains, and from time to time you can get some surprises, although occasionally out of line, but the nature is not bad. ”
“......”
Wu Ning was even more confused, what did he do to say this?
"If the fourth uncle has anything to say, just say it."
Wu Changlu sighed, "Smart is smart, life is compelling, and it is not impossible to have no choice but to be a businessman." ”
looked at Wu Ning: "However, you can't help but take the right path, like this kind of pit blackmail, only this once!" ”
"Absolutely, none, next, next!"
“......”
Wu Laojiu was a little wronged.
Where is this? One is willing to fight the other, and I didn't force people to live with us, why did it become a trap and blackmail?
Besides, everyone is poor like this bear, survival is the first rule, right? is not a sour man who reads, where did he get this high school?
Unconvinced, he muttered: "I didn't lie, at most it can be regarded as a starting price for land." ”
"That's not going to work either!"
Zu Jun roared and slapped the table directly.
"Wu Jiulang, listen to me, since I am surnamed Wu, then I have to have the rules of my surname Wu, don't learn from profiteers and slippery dealers!"
“......”
Wu Ning didn't dare to speak anymore, Old Ancestor Jun often lost his temper, but there weren't many times when he was so serious.
"Dad, you dissipate your anger first." Wu Changlu comforted Zujun, "Jiulang is not an unreasonable baby, he will understand when he says it." ”
Finally let Zu Jun sit down, Wu Changlu turned his head and looked at Wu Ning.
After a long time, the originally serious expression was Yile, and then he shook his head and laughed.
"Boy, you're not convinced, are you?"
“......”
"It's okay if you're not convinced, your fourth uncle will tell you a reason."
"You say."
"......" Wu Changlu pondered for a moment, and originally wanted to say it directly, but when he thought of Wu Ning's life experience......
"You are a baby from a big place in the capital, you may ......"
"You may have seen some apathy, thinking that it was the way to survive. However, in our Datang, at least in the downhill pass, that won't work. ”
Wu Changlu didn't know that Wu Ning was not only from the capital, but he had also lived for more than twenty years after a more self-interested millennium.
"Why?" Wu Ning asked calmly.
"Because of this world, you can't live on your own!"
Wu Changlu looked at Wu Ning seriously, "This is a cannibalistic world, and it is even more of a cold world!" ”
"It's a world where you will starve to death in a disaster year, and you may be stabbed if you go out!"
.....
"You've eaten enough today, but you don't know when you're going to have an empty stomach."
"You can make a lot of money today, but you don't know that one day this money will kill you."
"In this world, it is possible to survive only by hugging together."
......
Wu Changlu paused, "If you want to open an inn, the whole Aozi people will come to help you." In the same way, one day they can't get by, and you have to help everyone. This is the way of survival of the clan and the relatives of the village. ”
"But ......" Wu Ning was even more aggrieved, "I didn't cheat the people in the col." ”
"Huh." Wu Changlu smiled, "Boy, you are in the col to help you, so one day you are out of the col and out of Fangzhou!?" ”
“!!!!”
Wu Ning's heart trembled, and he only heard Wu Changlu say: "By that time, a small downhill can no longer help you, and the villagers who went out of Fangzhou have to hug each other." Only then will you be able to survive outside of Fangzhou! ”
"Therefore, treat people with sincerity, and others can treat you with sincerity. Someone will come to your aid when you need it. ”
"This is called righteousness, and it is also called human affection!"
"Do you understand?"
......
——————————
Wu Ning began to understand.
understand where this sense of justice comes from in the old ancestor; understands how different Wu Changlu's so-called righteousness and human affection are from later generations. It even reminded him of a sentence that Meng Cangshan had said to him before.
At that time, Wu Ning always boasted to Meng Cangsheng how "insightful" he was, thinking that his thousand-year-old experience could crush the ancients.
However, Meng Cangshan scoffed at it every time and smiled.
was really annoyed by what Wu Ning said, Meng Cangsheng said: "You are still far from knowledge, when you dare to face life and death, then tell me the word 'knowledge'." ”
I didn't understand it at the time, thinking that Meng Cangsheng was pretending to be thirteen, but now Wu Ning understands a little.
The cold world, whether it is Wu Changlu or Meng Cangsheng, they all say that this is a cold world.
It is not easy for the living, but how common is it to die?
War...
Disease....
Act of God....
Man-made disaster...
There is also backwardness and unspeakable abject poverty relative to later generations.
In life, every mistake may cost a person's life, so that people in this era are no stranger to death, and even indifferent.
This is what Meng Cangsheng called "insight"!
However, no one is not afraid of death, and no one is not afraid of being defeated by this world.
As Wu Changlu said, the clansmen in Xiashan Pass should be grouped, the fellow villagers in Fangzhou should be grouped, the Chaotang Shangguanlong Group should be grouped, and the Shandong family should also be grouped......
Sincerity, faithfulness and righteousness are not only the moral yardstick of this era, but also the way of survival.
"I see." Wu Ning admittedly admitted his mistake, "Treat people with sincerity, be righteous and trustworthy!" ”
"Hmm." Wu Changlu nodded with satisfaction. Wu Ning is just greedy for profit for a while, and his nature is really not bad.
"Go back and return the house money, you can't lose your trust for the sake of wealth outside your body!"
patted Wu Ning on the shoulder, "Don't forget, you lost not only your own faith, but also our downhill." ”
Wu Ning responded: "Hmm." ”
Coincidentally, as soon as I finished speaking, the courtyard door opened.
The two scholars who booked the room in the morning, as well as the old man, may have been waiting for a long time to no avail, and came back to rest, ready to try their luck again tomorrow.
Wu Ning hurriedly went back to the house and took out the money collected in the morning and returned it to others, only according to one hundred yuan per room.
Unexpectedly, the money had been sent to the three of them, but no one was willing to accept it.
......
At this time, the old man just laughed, and did not look at the money in Wu Ning's hand, but turned to Wu Changlu's side.
"Wu Tongjun is here, what? Why don't you invite the little old man to eat a bite of the hot? ”
At this time, Wu Changlufang looked at the courtyard gate and immediately smiled, "Who is so-and-so, it turned out to be the shopkeeper of Qinda." Hurry up and take a few drinks. ”
In the words, there is both heroism and rudeness.
He turned to the two scholars and said, "If the two sons don't dislike it, how about eating together?" ”
When Wu Ning heard this, it turned out that he knew each other, and hurriedly put the person on the table.
As for who this old man is, there is also a guess in his heart.
If he guessed correctly, this old man's surname is Qin, he has a lot of wealth, and he knows the fourth uncle, it should be Qin Wenyuan, the giant businessman father of Qin Miaoniang that Wu Qi remembers.
After sitting down, listening to the introduction of the fourth uncle and Zujun, Wu Ning guessed correctly, it was indeed Qin Wenyuan.
After the fourth uncle greeted him, he drank two more cups, and Wu Ning pushed the money over again.
"The fourth uncle of Shicai scolded, and the boy only knew that he had made an unjust mistake, please forgive the old man and the two sons."
This time, Qin Wenyuan couldn't turn a blind eye, and glanced at the two sons, and they all smiled.
"Don't hide it from Wu Xiaolangjun, the three of us have been standing outside the hospital for a while."
"Huh?"
Wu Ning was embarrassed, wasn't that the time when he was scolded just now, didn't these three people hear it?
I saw Qin Wenyuan turn to Wu Changlu and Old Ancestor, "The Wu clan is upright, Qin has seen it today, I really admire it!" ”
The two scholars also saluted Wu Changlu, and they had the style of scribes.
"But ......" Qin Wenyuan's tone changed, and he looked at the big money on the table, "Since Wu Tongjun has already said that we want to hold a group in Fangzhou Township, then the old man can't take back this money." ”
Wu Changlu furrowed his brows, "Why is this?" ”
"It's simple." Qin Wenyuan said indifferently, "Since you want to hold a group, how can Qin sit idly by and ignore it and not help Xiao Langjun." ”
"Shopkeeper Qin." Wu Changlu hurriedly said, "We have received the shopkeeper's wishes, but this money is ill-gotten gains, but it cannot be collected." ”
"Eh~!" Qin Wenyuan waved his hand, "Why should Wu Tongjun be anxious, listen to what Qin said." ”
looked at Wu Ning, "Xiao Langjun can open such an inn, he is not a mecreature." I don't know if you can understand Qin's words? ”
"Uncle, please speak."
I only heard Qin Wenyuan say: "An inn with one hundred wen a night, except for being expensive, there must be nothing special." ”
"But the inn for 500 wen a night, the person who lives in the hotel has to think about it, why is he so expensive? There must be something special! ”
"Oh." Wu Ning slapped his head.
"Why didn't I think of that!?"
As he spoke, he stood up and bowed to Qin Wenyuan.
"The old man is worthy of the name of a big businessman, the kid has been taught!"
