Volume 1: The Candle Dragon of the South China Sea Chapter 27: Turning Stone into Gold
Brother Wang sighed, took the cigarette and lit it, spit out a puff of smoke, and said slowly: "Ten years ago, I was a soldier in the army, and I was sent to hunt down a Vietnamese drug dealer. Ma San is one of the drug dealers, maybe he was too nervous at the time, when negotiating with the drug dealer leader, Ma Sanyi accidentally shot and killed a person, the negotiator was shocked, and ordered me to shoot them immediately, I hesitated for a few seconds, but in these few seconds, it changed my fate.
Because at that time, Ma San killed the leader of the drug dealers. ”
My face was shocked, it turned out that Brother Wang was a special soldier before, no wonder he had an indescribable military temperament, Ma San, who was usually arrogant and domineering, was still a hero who saved people, so he then asked Brother Wang: "What happened then?" ”
Later, there was a fierce firefight, and the drug dealers all fled, and the rest of the people all fled, but in the end, the scene was cleaned up but Ma San's body was not seen, and he didn't care about this at the time. Although many hostages were rescued during this mission, two died in the end, and these two were also family members of the superior leaders, and I knew that this was a bad thing at a glance.
When I returned to the army, I thought that I had completed the task, but the negotiator was dissatisfied with me, blaming me for not shooting Ma San in time, and finally in the scuffle, the drug dealer shot and killed two hostages, and turned around and sued me to my superiors.
At that time, I sighed: the way of the world has changed, the human heart has also changed, and only money is the savior of this world.
I wanted to leave the country and escape from China, so I ended up in Vietnam, and when I arrived in Vietnam, I deliberately disguised myself so that people would not recognize me. But halfway through, I passed by the drug dealer den that I had eliminated before, and along the reeds that were blown by the wind, I saw three people carrying a machete and holding a person with a paper bag on his head, I knew that this person was going to be beheaded next, and I didn't know whether to save people, and after the paper bag on the person's head was opened, I took a closer look at it clearly, it was Ma San, who had killed the leader of the drug dealers. ”
Brother Wang spat out a big mouthful of smoke, and then said: "I quietly walked over and shot those drug dealers to save Ma San, but Ma San didn't thank me when he saw it. I asked him: Why did you shoot your boss? Ma San said: If killing one person can save ten people, then it is worth dying. ”
"Later, because I was not used to the corruption of politics and the unfair treatment of the army, I felt that as long as there is money, it is the savior of this world, because the world has somehow become a prison for the poor, and if you want to be truly free, you must use money to change the world.
Since then, I have lived in Vietnam for a while, during which I have seen many people starved to death because they had no money to eat, and there have been people who have been beaten to death by smuggling in order to make money, and I don't know how many people have died for money. After seeing this, I took the risk and took Ma San and a few others to start selling drugs together, and used the money I earned to help those poor people, so that it was a whole decade, and finally took a fancy to this deserted area of Yunnan, but it was also to find the legend of the dragon candle that was passed down by the ancestors.
If I can find the candle dragon, then I will use all this money to help poor areas.
If the world is inherently unfair, then why don't I change the world and make the world fair. ”
After Brother Wang finished speaking, I couldn't help but be full of admiration for Brother Wang, it turned out that Brother Wang had been looking for the dragon candle for the great ideal and to change the world with the dragon candle.
Brother Wang suddenly stopped, turned around and asked me, "What do you think of my idea?" ”
I lowered my head and pondered for a moment, and said: "In today's society, many people complain that human feelings are getting weaker and more worldly, and I think they haven't seen the world through, because money in this world is far simpler than feelings. For example, what is the purpose of studying, going to school, working hard, etc.? Not all of them hope to make more money in the future. Going to a restaurant for dinner, being sick and hospitalized, buying a house and a car in today's society is inseparable from money.
Indeed, if it is placed in ancient times, the most important thing is to be a human being, and the most important thing is filial piety. Family relationships are valued the most. Family relationships are the most intimate. However, in order to pursue righteousness and protect Zhongliang, he sacrificed his own life and his family at the expense of his own family. If you dare to sacrifice your life or your family, then money becomes less important.
However, since the implementation of reform and opening up, the economy has indeed developed greatly. It greatly enriches our material life, but at the same time makes money more and more important.
In today's society, everyone looks to money, although money is not omnipotent in this society, but it is absolutely impossible without money. Whether it is family, friendship or love, any kind of relationship is inseparable from money. Money can change your status and image. Money can change family relationships, and no one paid attention to you when you had no money before. When you have money and return to your hometown, your whole family will be courteous to you. Every time before a banquet, you will be the one who has the most say.
But there are also people who can deny their relatives and do whatever they want for the sake of money and their own selfish interests. Now it is often reported in the news that some people can do anything for money, and there are more and more of them, why not support the elderly; defrauding others of their money; financial disputes between relatives and so on. These people put money first, and family affection may not even be worth a penny in their eyes. ”
Brother Wang nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, and said: "That's right, we must first have principles in life, what belongs to us is always our own, and don't be delusional if it doesn't belong to you."
The world is not fair, and if you want to live an ideal life, no matter how hard you try, most people end up just ordinary and ordinary people. ”
I turned my head and thought: It's not easy to change the world, if what Brother Wang said is true, back then, a country as weak as Qin State could illuminate countless mountains of gold and silver with just one dragon candle, so as to unify the Seven Kingdoms. If we can really find the dragon candle, let the dragon candle shine into gold, and divide the poor into poverty, then there will be no poor people in the world, there will be no gap between the poor and the rich, and there will be no more people who will starve to death, and this will not be equivalent to changing the world.
But he sighed again, how easy it is to find the dragon candle, and Brother Wang himself knows that if he doesn't belong to himself, he still wants to get it, wouldn't it be the same as going against the sky, and the end will only be miserable.
As I was thinking about this, suddenly, a car drove not far away, and my thoughts were interrupted, and I stared blankly at the car in front of me. Brother Wang raised his hand and motioned for us to stop and take a look first, and we all put down our steps and sat on the ground to rest.
The fat man raised his eyebrows and looked at it, and asked suspiciously: "Damn, where did you get the car from this barren mountain and wilderness?" Is it really weird? ”
Brother Wang's expression changed and he said, "Lynx, bring the gun." Brother Wang said to the bobcat, at this time, I noticed that Brother Wang had lost the previous commanding appearance, and had become much closer.
Brother Wang took the automatic rifle in Bobcat's hand, reloaded the bullet and put it under the trunk for guard. By this time, the vehicles were slowly driving in front of us.
The car in the lead stopped, and from the passenger seat stepped a man who was wearing a camouflage military uniform and stood tall. He said: "The Yunnan Fire and Armed Police have come to investigate, please cooperate." After speaking, he saluted us respectfully, quite like a soldier.
A person walked out of the back seat of the car, and when she got out of the car, she saw that it was a girl, also wearing a camouflage military uniform, but she did not come over, but smoked a cigarette on the side, looking around in the woods.
"Don't... Other... Move! We... Be... Be... Forest Martial Arts Armed police! The lynx picked up the gun on the ground, held it tremblingly with both hands, and said everything in his mouth for a long time.
When the policewoman not far away heard this, she smiled slightly and slowly walked towards us. Chen Haoyue saw that I had been staring, and punched me in the chest, so I had to put away my gaze and lower my head.
The policewoman walked up to the bobcat, took a puff of her cigarette, and slowly exhaled the smoke in front of the bobcat and said, "Oh? Are you the Forest Armed Police? That department? Why haven't I seen you? ”
"It's... This..."The lynx's face turned red, he didn't know what to say, he was frightened for a while, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to look directly at the policewoman. Brother Wang on the side also sighed when he saw it, and wanted to be in the limelight but had no resourcefulness, so he had to pull the lynx over with one hand and let the lynx hide behind him.
"Cousin! It's working! The man on the other side said to the policewoman with a serious face, and after speaking, the policewoman glared at the man, turned around and walked towards the man again.
"The Yunnan Fire Department received a report yesterday that there was a large number of gunfire on the mountain, and it was concluded that there were arson and wild beasts on the mountain, which seems to be true. Please cooperate with me to go to the fire station and record my confession. The man said.
"So it's from the fire department? Cut, I thought it was. We are the authentic forest police, to rescue wild animals, what? Do you have to do that too? The fat man lit a cigarette and walked over angrily while smoking.
"Hands up for me! We hope you will cooperate well! ”
The man lost his patience, and under a scolding, the fat man was like a frightened bird, and the cigarette in his hand fell to the ground at once, and when he was about to bend down to pick it up, the man walked behind the fat man in three steps and two steps, and when the fat man turned back again, his hands could not move, because the fat man's wrists were roasted by a silver glittering handcuff.
