Chapter 731: Humans and Ghosts
Freya looked at Roy and the proprietress who opened the chatterbox, with a curious look: "Tang Fang, what are they talking about?" It's so profound. β
He rubbed her head, "Children don't need to know this. β
"Uh......h Woof. She stiffened her nose and said aggrievedly: "Besides, I'm a child...... I...... I'll bite you. β
Roy still can't accept this disregard for life, believing that everyone has the right to live and the right to be respected, even those nobles. Tang Fang did those things in "Georgia", although he never expressed his opinion, but he didn't think it was right, he just felt that Brother Tang also had times when he was willful and crazy, and the starting point of doing so was to save him and Bai Hao, he had no position to accuse, and he was not qualified to oppose it.
"Heavy taxation is the sin of the Olybal family, it has nothing to do with those grassroots officials, and it has nothing to do with those rich people, and a lot of their money is earned by their own efforts, in fact...... It's not easy to be an official. β
The proprietress was already a little impatient, and it was the first time she had seen someone as optimistic, or rather stupid, as Roy was.
"Whether it is in the Monya Empire, the Sulu Empire, the Phoenix Empire, or the United Kingdom of Tulanx, the aristocracy controls almost the economic lifeblood of the entire country, whether it is the state finances or the hard work of the common people, they have been kidnapped by them and turned this country into their home. With power in their hands, wealth naturally rolls in, so the nobles eat meat and drink wine, and nepotistic people eat vegetables and drink soup. β
"We are nothing but slaves in the hands of the aristocracy, feeding them with our hands and blood and sweat. It doesn't matter what you say, people who have the money to fly on the MHM series, every penny of them is related to politics, has an affair with power, and is smeared with the blood and sweat of people like us. β
"They have guns. They also have cannons, they say they will defend the motherland, but in fact, the muzzle of the gun has never been external, it has always been internal. Because we have children, because we have families, we don't have the courage to resist such oppression. Can't you complain and vent your frustration? If this is all subject to moral kidnapping, is there any heavenly reason? β
"So, a little kid like you who hasn't experienced the hardships of life and has been living under the umbrella, can I ask you to shut up?"
The boss annoyed Roy with a little kid. He is also a person who has walked through the Ghost Gate many times, such as in the Northern Suburbs Research Institute of "Lector", and the "Void Ripper" in Terro, as he has experienced countless hardships. How can a person with strong force be said to be a little child.
"Is the Covenant better than here? Is Charles Commonwealth better than here? The rich get richer and the poor get poorer, and laughing at fifty steps and a hundred steps, is it interesting? The state has laws, society has morality, and life also has rules. Since you live in such a country, the best thing to do is to adapt. To struggle, to swim against the current, not to complain, not to vent, not to complain. β
"If you base your happiness on the sorrow of others, you still have the right to complain about the country's immorality. There is no morality in society, if the people in the United Kingdom of Tulanx are all people like you who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, I think ...... The high-pressure rule is good, and if there is no noble guidance, the world will be in chaos. You will dig your own grave and die. β
It has been one year since the "Morning Star" left the Megal star system, and Roy has also begun to enter puberty, showing some rebellion and temper, especially when he sees someone who does not respect life, he can't control his emotions.
In fact, he regretted it, because such a statement is tantamount to degrading the quality of the people of the United Kingdom of Turachs as a whole, as well as the quality of the people of the Monya Empire. From another point of view, it is tantamount to accusing Garcia of the rebels and denying what Brother Tang did.
Moreover, if you think about it carefully, the boss Nian's sentence "a little kid who has been living under the umbrella" is not wrong, he has indeed been living under the protection of Brother Tang, living under the protection of all the members of the "Angel Number", eating the meals cooked by the Garcia Resistance Chef, drinking the water fetched by the Garcia Resistance soldiers, using the daily necessities bought by the Garcia Resistance Buyers, and calling people like Joey, Yuffie, Walton, and Grant brothers.
He suddenly felt a little guilty, and in order to say such a thing quickly for a while, Brother Tang should be so sad to hear it.
Who wants Tang Fang to be unmoved, still lying half-dead on that dining table, squinting at the curling game broadcast on TV, if people who don't know him look at it, they must think that he is a poor sour who does not learn and eats and waits for death. Of course, because of his easy appearance, even people who know what Captain Tang looks like can't recognize him now.
Just because he didn't speak didn't mean that the proprietress would tolerate accusations from a kid like Roy.
"The pursuit of a better life is a fundamental right of every human being."
She suddenly picked up a stainless steel fruit knife under the counter, pointed at Roy's face and said, "Don't you just want to say that people like us are of low quality?" Then you are of high quality, what are you doing in a store opened by people like us with low quality? Go out, go out, this business is not done today, and the old lady will not serve a dog raised by a nobleman like you. β
"Why are you still stunned to let you out? Get lost! β
Roy's expression was very embarrassed, Tang Fang was still lying there, ignoring the argument between the two, Freya was lying on his lap, looking sleepy, with a wisp of crystal saliva on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't know what to dream of.
"There's something to say, there's something to say." Roy raised his hands and said embarrassedly, "It's easy to hurt yourself like this." β
Not to mention that the proprietress has a knife, even if she has a gun in her hand, it is impossible to hurt him, so the half-grown child kindly reminded her not to hurt herself.
"You can't get out?" The proprietress had a fierce glint in her eyes.
There was a bang, the door of the back kitchen was pushed open, and the boss, who had been ordered to wash the dishes earlier, walked out with a pot in one hand and a spoon in the other, and glared at Roy viciously: "My wife told you to get out, are you deaf?" β
Roy was very aggrieved, really aggrieved, he just said a few words of truth, truth, reason, why did he annoy people? Why are they just like Bai Hao, who can't listen to persuasion?
He was well-intentioned, although he was a little sorry for Brother Tang.
Tang Fang was still indifferent, watching Roy say no words and mess things up, neither saving the scene nor leaving.
Freya was awakened by the sound of an iron spoon hitting the bottom of the pot and looked up from under the table. looked at the cramped and restless Roy, and then at the fully armed couple, a curious and excited look flashed on his face, and said crisply: "Roy, are they chasing you?" Is it because you didn't pay for coffee? Don't worry, I've got it here. β
The little girl smiled and took out a 10,000 yuan Tulanx coin from Tang Fang's pocket. put it on the table and said sincerely: "Boss, don't embarrass him, we have money." β
They entered the store and ordered a total of 3 cups of coffee, as well as a small plate of doughnuts, which cost less than 20 yuan when they were full. Who knew that the little girl had the highest denomination note in the United Kingdom of Turachs.
In some small places, many people can't earn such a piece of paper for half a year, so she casually took one out of the man's pocket and put it on the table. What's even stranger is that the man's eyes don't even blink, as if he doesn't care about it.
The boss thought it must be a counterfeit, although it looked exactly like the real thing.
The proprietress thinks that Xiaoya has a problem with her brain, doesn't she know what such a piece of paper represents? That's 10,000 Ranx coins, which is almost the cafΓ©'s turnover for 10 days.
She guessed correctly, Freya knew that it was money and could buy things. But I don't care how much delicious and fun I can buy with such a piece of paper. Because she never brought money and had no concept of value, she felt that it was something that Tang Fang and Claire needed to worry about, and she just had to tell them what she liked.
Seeing that the boss and the proprietress did not speak, she frowned. went to Tang Fang's pocket again: "Isn't it enough?" And here's more. β
Captain Tang, who was lying on the table and pretending to be dead, couldn't sit still, and grabbed her little hand: "Loser girl, you can't make it like this if you have money." β
Freya grinned and said, "You're finally talking." β
Tang Fang shook his head, put away the 10,000 yuan on the table, and said, "It's not about the amount of money. It's about respect and dignity. β
The proprietress glanced at him, and suddenly felt that the wood-like creature had spoken into her heart.
The man looked salivating at the ticket that was casually carried back into his pocket by Tang Fang, and looked at the woman with expectant eyes, but he didn't dare to say anything.
As Tang Fang said, Roy's argument with the proprietress is not about money, but about respect and dignity. But when a person's right to life is not guaranteed, both dignity and respect become luxuries.
Hope is important, and so is being alive.
The life of people like them oscillates between hope and life.
The little atrium lives the ideals, and the blue sky is full of realities, which tear people in half, half ghosts, half people. Those who live in reality are called "ghosts", and those who live in the heart are called "people".
"Are you all in this together?"
The proprietress is very puzzled, the half-grown children are like those patriotic young people who are deceived by slogans and lies, deceived by brainwashing and education, accustomed to confusing black and white, diverting contradictions, creating antagonism among the people, and concocting external hatred to relieve the pressure of interest groups.
That man is different, he neither criticizes nor accuses anything, but simply says that sentence, but it is what she, he, and all the low-level civilians want most - respect and dignity.
Tang Fang smiled and said, "I am his umbrella." β
The woman frowned: "He speaks very hard. β
"No, it's Gengzhi." Tang Fang said: "There is such a thing as truth, which exists to say that the black is white and the white is black, and what you need is not to reason with him, but like this." β
Before the words fell, a fist landed on the boy's face.
It comes from the Don side.
It was the first time he had hit Roy.
But this is not the first time Roy has eaten such a fist, Bai Hao once beat him like this when he was in "Georgia".
Yingluo said that Bai Hao was a bit similar to Brother Tang, and he didn't think so until the same punch landed on his face.
Yingluo also said that the reason why her sister Linglong likes Bai Hao is also because she is a bit similar to Brother Tang.
"I thought Bai Hao's punch woke you up, but now it seems that such an idea is too naΓ―ve." Tang Fang looked at his face: "Do you know?" When you were attacked last night, I was already a little impatient, and you didn't even have Tang Yun to raise a fish sensible. β
"The next time I see that you are soft on the enemy, give me the 'Angel Number' to go back. Remember, reality is not about making movies. β
Roy was blinded by this punch, it was the first time he had seen such a stern Brother Tang, and he was a little ashamed, he did show mercy to his subordinates last night, but the result was that a terrorist suddenly woke up and pointed a gun at Yingluo's back, but fortunately, Bai Hao reacted in time and plunged a dagger into the man's throat.
He remained silent, covering his face in silence.
The atmosphere at the scene was a little awkward, the man put down the pot and spoon, and the woman also threw the fruit knife back to the counter, but felt a little embarrassed...... If she didn't, Roy wouldn't have been beaten, and if she thought about it, she couldn't have been angry with a teenager at all.
She was also at that age, and she also had a heart for dreams and justice.
The awkward atmosphere was quickly broken, not Tang Fang or Freya, nor the boss and the boss's wife, not Roy, but a sudden news interlude.
The explosion and fire of MHM138 passenger plane a few minutes ago was not an accident, but a prelude to a criminal act, and the beautiful female anchor told the audience in front of the TV with a solemn face that the K838 flight that had been lifted off had been hijacked by terrorists and was currently flying around the city of Gangadas, and the government was trying to communicate with the hijackers, but there was no response from the other party.
Roy covered his face and got up from the ground, looking stunned. Tang Fang glanced at the TV screen and frowned slightly.
The proprietress never thought that things would take a turn for the worse, and someone really hijacked the airliner.
MHM138 is a luxury airliner, K838 is just an ordinary airliner, and the crew on it is mostly middle- and lower-class earners.
Tang Fang returned to his seat, drank the half cup of coffee, and quietly watched the TV screen silently, and the boss also walked out from behind the counter, looking at the high-altitude images transmitted to the ground by the orbiting satellite with a shocked expression.
The face of the proprietress is a little ugly, she can sit back and watch the officials and the children of the nobles die well, it does not mean that she will be indifferent to the scene in front of her.
K383 is full of civilians!
Everyone is quietly following the developments, except for the Tang side.
It's not that he's indifferent to the matter, it's that Emma has transferred an internal document from the airport that attracts his attention.
The earlier MHM138 passenger plane fire and explosion was not an accident as the official media said, but was actually closely related to the hijacking of K383.
MHM138 is a luxury airliner, and K383 is a regular airliner. Both are aimed at different consumer groups and have different levels of security. (To be continued.) )
