In the final analysis, it is still young and recovers quickly, and this has not yet reached the customary '100 days of broken muscles and bones', and Brother Chao's little hands are already on the verge of full recovery.

After I told Brother Chao last night that I wanted to ask him something, he hadn't found a job yet, and he took the initiative to take the car to my house early this morning, although he said that he cared about me, but it was obvious that he was too bored to stay in his own home.

There is not much left of the goods in stock at home, I didn't book it yesterday, and I asked him to play by himself after Brother Chao came this morning, and then communicated with the manufacturer for a long time.

The strange thing is that the other party has been hiding and shirking, and what he said is going around and around just not going to the actual transaction, which makes me confused and stuffy.

Hanging up the work phone for the last time near noon, Brother Chao, who had been listening, asked, "What's wrong Brother Qian?" Listen to the business to be yellow. ”

I said with a sad face: "Ah, I don't know what kind of wind the other side is pumping, I have been ordering a product for two days, not that there is a lack of single products or that there is a problem with logistics, and they don't want to send them money, it's really boring." ”

Brother Chao comforted me and said, "Be content and happy, at least you are better than me, who has no job." What's wrong? A little noon on the hour? ”

I was indeed a little irritable, but I glanced at the time on my phone and promised, "Okay, let's go." ”

While chatting with the two of us, we found a barbecue restaurant, and when I ordered something, I poured bitter water, and first talked about the difficulties in the past two days at work.

Brother Chao listened silently and never interjected.

It wasn't until I finished speaking that Brother Chao sighed inexplicably: "Alas, luck is indeed very important." ”

I thought he was just summing up that I was unlucky, and I didn't care, and then I talked to him about the wedding of Zephyr.

Because the details of the wedding from the location to the process were different from what I knew before, I described it in detail, and Brother Chao listened very energetically, interrupting me from time to time to confirm the details with me.

By the time I was finished, we had each had almost a beer on our own.

After finishing speaking, I looked at Brother Chao who bowed his head and pondered and asked, "Hey, Brother Chao, do you know much about this kind of thing?" Don't you think the wedding between Zephyr and Meng Meng is a bit weird? Brother Chao nodded and said, "What's the blame? Didn't you see Zephyr his parents? ”

I shook my head and said, "I've never met his parents, and I haven't asked about his family, anyway, they really didn't have the 'meeting Gaotang' part that day." ”

Brother Chao nodded "um", and then continued to ponder.

I finished eating a skewer of barbecue by myself, and seeing that Brother Chao was still pondering, I asked, "What do you want?" So obsessed? ”

Brother Chao raised his head and smiled "hehe" and said, "I'm thinking about how my wedding with Xiaoxi should work." I rolled my eyes and scolded, "Damn."

Brother Chao smiled faintly and said, "Brother Qian, apart from this wedding, are there any other strange places in your community that you haven't told me?" ”

I asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Brother Chao replied: "In all aspects, what do you think about the usual clothing, food, housing, and home furnishings?" ”

I thought about it and said: "It's nothing, then again, I haven't been to the homes of those locals in the community, I've been to Chen Haobei and Mei's sisters' house, it's normal, oh yes, I've also been to the Aunt Li's house that Meng Meng and I live in next door, but except... Except for Aunt Li, who seems to believe in Buddhism, there is nothing else. ”

"Particularly Buddhist? Then the rest of your community knows about Aunt Li's belief in Buddhism? Brother Chao asked.

I said, "You know, right?" Don't you see, there are so many big Buddha statues in her house... And it seems to be a Taoist god, right? I don't know much, but they're all quite big, and they must have been seen when they were brought in, what's wrong? ”

Brother Chao leaned back in the chair and said a little deflated: "That's it? Alas, then my assumption would not have been true. I asked, "What did you have in mind?" ”

Brother Chao took another sip of wine before saying slowly: "As far as you just described, I was thinking, to a certain extent, the process of the wedding is actually a 'ceremony' process, what is the ceremony?" Now, a lot of times it's just a formality, but according to what you said, they have changed their costumes, which means that they attach great importance to this ceremony, which means that in their eyes, the ceremony still retains its original meaning... Faith. ”

"Faith?" I repeated, and Brother Chao nodded and continued, "Yes, faith. Since ancient times, especially in ancient times, all rituals represent faith, weddings and funerals must have rituals, which is the belief in life; Sacrifices have rituals, which are beliefs in ghosts and gods; In a year of famine and disaster, those who ask for rain also need to have a ritual, which is the belief in nature. Far from it, let's just talk about modern times, many Jesus disciples have to go to church every week to perform their related rituals, which also represents faith. ”

I said, "Well, yes, I've had people go to church a few times before, and that guy has been old and religious when he does 'worship,' and if the priest hadn't told me that he was going to donate 30 percent of my income to his church every month as a sign of my piety, maybe I would have been religious." Damn, it's darker than Zhu Bajie, and the last time I left, I said that I wanted to donate a little more, didn't you see the expression on the priest's face when I threw those two five-haired steel jumps into their merit box, and the expression on the waiter's face when I went to KFC to buy pancakes and fruits was exactly the same, and he almost took me out of his pocket. ”

Brother Chao wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Why weren't you killed by that waiter?" Let's get down to business. ”

I was busy making a deferential look, and Brother Chao continued: "So, after you just told me about the weird ceremony of Zephyr and Mengmeng's wedding, I asked you if you usually found anything else weird about them?" You see, the rituals they attach so much importance to are so distinctive, it must have something to do with some of their beliefs. Faith produces religion, and if you hadn't said that Aunt Li next door to you believed in Buddhism, I would have doubted that the people in your community were all members of a crooked religion. ”

I asked a little suspiciously, "Wait, are they members of the crooked sect related to Aunt Li's belief in Buddhism?" ”

Brother Chao explained: "It's very simple, brother will tell you something more extreme, in fact, there are only two religions in the world now, one is 'orthodox' and the other is 'crooked'. The difference between the two sects is very small, to be precise, to the common people, apart from the scale, there is almost no difference in the nature of their actual operation... Don't worry, don't worry, you listen to me. Let's just talk about donating wages, and Buddhism, every temple has a merit box, right? The famous Taoist temple in our coastal city also has a merit box in it, right? As for some terrorists, let's not talk about it, just talk about the religion of not killing people. ”

This time, I wiped my cold sweat and interrupted him, "Be quiet, you can't talk nonsense about these words." ”

Brother Chao also subconsciously looked around before continuing: "So, for the current era, no matter which sect, he is actually just a profession, a means of making a living, if you really want to count it, many crooked sect members are actually more devout than the orthodox members of their beliefs, because the scale needs to be expanded, so more brainwashing is needed, and the members who have been brainwashed successfully are naturally extremely religious, by the way, do you remember Xiao Wu?" Didn't he just believe in a crooked religion? ”

Xiao Wu was a colleague we met when we were under Zhu Bajie, but we worked together for a short time, less than three months before and after.

When he first joined the company, he applied for a position in logistics, which was rare because he was the only man who volunteered to participate in logistics.

'Wild men' like me and Brother Chao all choose to be salesmen, after all, it is more challenging, and they can indeed get a lot of money if they do a good job.

Xiao Wu is a very strong young man, he made a good impression when he first came into contact, he was also down-to-earth, and he worked hard.

But after a month of getting acquainted with him, we realized that something was wrong with this person.

At first, it was discovered by Brother Chao, and at that time, several of us were crammed into a room, but we were usually all on business trips, so Xiao Wu was often the only one to spend the night in the collective dormitory.

It was quite late when Brother Chao came back from a business trip that day, and he was afraid of making noise to others, so he quietly opened the door and quietly entered his room.

Then he saw Xiao Wu kneeling at the window with his back to him in the dark, reciting something in his mouth.

Brother Chao was startled at first, thinking that he had seen something strange. After he was sure that the person was Xiao Wu, he called "Xiao Wu", but Xiao Wu ignored him, and Brother Chao waited on the side to visit.

It wasn't until Xiao Wu finally finished reading that he stood up and took the initiative to explain to Brother Chao that he was a person of faith.

Xiao Wu told Brother Chao not to talk about it at the beginning, and the reason why he took the initiative to tell Brother Chao his true identity was because since Brother Chao bumped into him and was 'bye-bye', it meant that Brother Chao was also a child chosen by God, so he could tell Brother Chao.

But other ordinary people can't know, they are not qualified, they are not worthy.

Brother Chao checked on the Internet, and the broken religion was a completely crooked religion founded by a silver stick, and there was no market in their own country, so they came to our country to develop new people.

After finding out the truth, Brother Chao told everyone, and we persuaded Xiao Wu together to let him not believe this thing. But Xiao Wu was brainwashed too successfully, not only did he not listen to us, but he also kept convincing us to join his crooked teaching.

As the boss, Zhu Bajie only cares about making money, and he doesn't care what the employees teach, so he doesn't care about this matter at all, so we can only deal with it among the employees.

In the end, we disagreed with each other, and since he didn't notice anything excessive except that he needed to pray every day before going to bed, we let him go.

It wasn't until later, when he suddenly offered to resign, that he told us the reason for his resignation after our inquiry.

There are two reasons for this: First, he determined that the people in our unit who were not chosen by the reincarnated Jesus did not have wisdom roots and did not deserve mercy.

Second, he is about to get married, and he has successfully reformed the girlfriend he had before he became a religious believer according to the requirements of the 'Lord', and his girlfriend has finally followed him to become religious, which meets the requirements of their sect and is qualified to marry a noble religious person.

On the day he left, Brother Chao also asked him a question, that is, Brother Chao had checked on the Internet before about a ridiculous piece of relevant information about that sect: On the wedding night of believers, does their bishop really want to replace the groom to accompany the bride to complete the first time in the bride's life.

Xiao Wu only replied to this: everything is for faith and the future of mankind.

If it weren't for Xiao Wu sneaking away that night and changing all his contact information, I don't think we would have let him leave like this.

There is no difference between wealth, sex, religion and the pursuit of ordinary people. It's just that it's better to say, better looking, and cheaper.

Brother Chao's words reminded me of this colleague I had worked with for a short time, and I also understood why Brother Chao said that since Aunt Li believes in Buddhism, then the residents of my community cannot be crooked.

At that time, when Xiao Wu was still there, he was extremely concerned about the beliefs of other people, and it was good that we didn't have faith, but a colleague at that time wore a string of Buddhist beads on his hand, which was actually purely for fun, and had nothing to do with faith.

But Xiao Wu stared at that colleague's bracelet nervously every day, and from time to time he would persuade that colleague not to be deceived, Buddhism is all deceptive, and the only one who can save mankind is the god of his sect.

It wasn't until the colleague hid the bracelet that Xiao Wu relented.

Thinking of this, I confirmed with Brother Chao: "So, Brother Chao, what do you mean is that if the people in my community are all members of a certain crooked sect, they won't allow the people under their noses to have other beliefs?" ”

Brother Chao nodded, picked up his wine glass and toasted with me.

But if it's not a fallacy, what could it be? Let Brother Chao say this, I am more curious about the content behind the wedding between Zephyr and Mengmeng.

Seeing that I was getting more and more entangled, Brother Chao suddenly asked, "By the way, how did you do what you promised Chen Zhonghai?" I said nonchalantly, "Ah, just find the four cars of the same model, and there will be no progress." ”

Probably seeing that I was too depressed, Brother Chao said: "Then hurry up and eat, it happens that there is nothing to do in the afternoon, and I will accompany you to investigate and investigate." ”

I said, "What's there to investigate?" I'll do it myself. Brother Chao smiled and said, "By the way... Take my brother to see the secret door you said. ”
