Chapter 140: Gratitude
Seeing that my senior brother was leaving, I quickly walked to Su Xiaoyue's side, grabbed the backpack on the ground, and found my ghost gourd inside.
"What do you do?" Su Xiaoyue seemed to be very afraid of the female ghost, and followed me closely: "What about that woman?" ”
"Don't worry." I smiled at Su Xiaoyue: "She won't hurt you, besides, I'm next to me, if she wants to do something, I'll clean her up." ”
Saying that, I quickly took out the yellow paper, lay on the ground and wrote a Wulei Anzhen charm with a brush, and after I finished writing, I glanced at Su Xiaoyue: "If you follow me closely, I'll be fine." ”
"Okay." Su Xiaoyue nodded at me, it seemed that because of the weather, her lips were trembling, and when I saw this, I could only find my robe from my backpack and gently put it on for Su Xiaoyue.
After putting on the Taoist robe, Su Xiaoyue seemed to feel a lot better, she smiled at me, I nodded, and then walked up to the female ghost, and asked her curiously: "How did you people live in the Manchu Dynasty?" ”
When the female ghost heard my words, her eyes widened in horror, and she quickly glanced around: "Engong, be quiet!" How can you say the word Manchu? If you want to talk about the Qing Dynasty! Otherwise, if you are heard, you will be the benefactor who wants to kill your head! ”
"It's fine!" I waved my hand at the female ghost, and wanted to laugh in my heart, now don't say that I said Manchu, even if I say Tartar, no one will kill my head, now it's the People's Republic of China! Who would kill me for a word?
The female ghost saw that I didn't care about it, and said to me very anxiously: "I know that Engong is capable of everything, but Engong should not say this kind of thing well, otherwise it will really provoke right and wrong!" ”
I shook my head at the female ghost and said with a smile: "I tell you, more than a hundred years have passed since your time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has perished, and now it is the People's Republic of China, and no one will trouble me." ”
"What?" When the female ghost heard my words, her eyes widened: "It's been more than a hundred years? And the Qing Dynasty is over? ”
"Yes." I nodded: "Tell me, what did people of your era eat?" ”
"We." The female ghost smiled at me embarrassedly, but her smile looked so weird: "We eat the vegetables we grow, if there is a bumper harvest in any year, we can eat a meal of meat, if there is a disaster, we can only eat Guanyin soil." ”
"Guanyin soil?" I frowned and asked the female ghost, "What is this Guanyin soil?" ”
"Guanyin soil is a kind of white soil, when there is a famine, we have nothing else to eat, we can only eat this Guanyin soil, although it is difficult to swallow, but we will not starve to death if we eat it."
Hearing the female ghost's explanation, my heart was full of sighs, it turns out that people in the past lived like this, no matter what this Guanyin soil is, as long as it is soil, I don't think it's something that people can eat at all, I can't imagine that people in the past can eat this kind of thing in order to survive.
"Hey." I sighed at the female ghost: "If you want to blame it, you were born in that era, and if you change it to now, even if you are poor, you will not eat soil." ”
"Really?" The female ghost asked me curiously, "Engong, what are you eating now?" ”
"What about us?" I looked up and thought, "We now eat three meals a day, each meal is rice and meat, and if we are hungry at night, we can go out for supper, such as lamb skewers, beef skewers, etc." ”
"What?" The female ghost exclaimed: "You guys don't have a curfew? And can you eat cattle and sheep? ”
"What's this?" I smiled at the female ghost: "Now as long as you have money, you can't eat what you want?" ”
"Oh my!" The female ghost said to me in amazement: "At that time, only the Son of Heaven could eat three animals, the princes could eat beef, the secretary could eat sheep, the doctor could eat pork, the ordinary officials could eat fish and meat, and we people could only eat vegetables. ”
"That was before." I smiled at the female ghost: "It's not like before now, now you are free, you can go out and play at any time at night, no one cares about you; Every day you want to eat, you go to the vegetable market to buy it and cook it yourself, and no one will say anything. ”
"God has eyes!" The female ghost suddenly knelt down and kowtowed vigorously on the ground: "I didn't expect that only more than a hundred years have passed, and I can have such a Datong society in China, it's really God's eyes!" ”
I grinned when I saw the female ghost like this, but I didn't speak.
Yes, many people complain about the difference in society in their lives, but they have not thought about it at all, as early as more than a hundred years ago, their current life is simply unimaginable, no matter how the country is, at least now we ordinary people can not worry about three meals, and do not have to catch strong men like in the Republic of China, such a life, what else is there to complain about?
As for injustice, this is like the Taiji diagram, people only find the gap, will they work hard, if everyone's wealth is the same, then who will work hard to make money? Who still goes to work hard? Wouldn't it be nice for everyone to sit at home and wait for dinner every day?
To be honest, I don't agree with the Confucian theory, that if everyone is the same, such a society is a society that will collapse.
Without desire, people will not work hard, without gaps, people will not struggle, such a world will only appear in fantasy, or in Buddhist scriptures, that set to reality, is completely useless.
I really want those who complain about the society every day to come to see the female ghost in front of them, maybe after they see the female ghost, they won't complain, because they can eat every day, and they can eat and drink at night, which is comparable to the previous people?
Therefore, people should be content and grateful, because when you complain, you don't see how others live.
I sighed, pursed my lips, and saw that Su Xiaoyue was looking at the female ghost with a very sympathetic look, I smiled and didn't speak.
The female ghost kowtowed on the ground for a long time before turning her head to look at us, at this time Su Xiaoyue didn't seem to be very afraid of the female ghost, she was actually able to walk to the female ghost's side and chat with the female ghost.
As for the content of the chat, that is, what kind of foot wrapping, what kind of clothes.
I was not interested, so I could only stand up and stretch, wanting to see the time, who knew that after I took out my phone, I found that my phone had already entered the water, I shook my head helplessly and put the phone in my pocket.
"Giggle."
Just when I thought it was going to be like this tonight, I heard that oozing laughter behind me, yes! It's a green ghost! It's out!
I turned my head sharply and saw a dark figure lying on the side of the guardrail, and by the moonlight, I saw the green ghost for the first time!
It's really like the book! The face of the green ghost is full of rotten flesh, and there is only one eyeball on the two black eye sockets, and that eyeball is very big! It was covered in bloodshots.
On top of a rotten mouth, I can clearly see its full mouth of fangs! It has ten long nails on its grip on the guardrail!
"Damn it!" I cursed in a low voice and moved my body to block Su Xiaoyue behind me: "Be careful! The green ghost is out! ”
I saw the green ghost giggling at me, quickly climbing over the guardrail, and crawling quickly towards me on the ground.
"Damn!" I stretched out my hand and pinched a Lei Zu Du, and took a small step back nervously: "Su Xiaoyue! Be careful, this thing isn't easy to mess with! ”
As soon as the green ghost climbed forward a few times, it blocked the invisible wall, and I realized that it had entered the vajra wall laid by my senior brother.
The green ghost felt that his front was blocked, and he twisted his body and wanted to leave the formation.
Don't miss the opportunity, lose it again! I pinched a sword finger violently, pointed hard at the green ghost, and pronounced the eight words that I had memorized in my heart: "Hurry up!" Hurry up! ”
As I shouted out the mantra, the lock ghost array around the green ghost suddenly lit up with yellow light, and an invisible force tied up the green ghost to death.
Seeing that he couldn't move, he roared wildly in the formation, and I was sweating profusely and pinching my fingers, but I was desperately shouting in my heart: "Senior brother! Come back soon! I can't hold out for long! ”
"Yang Jian?" Su Xiaoyue and the green ghost in front of him were afraid, and their bloodless faces suddenly became extremely pale.
She gently walked up to my side: "What to do?" ”
Without looking back, I yelled at Su Xiaoyue, "Hurry up!" Hurry up and get out of here with that female ghost! Run to the city center! Go where there are many people! I'll come to you when I'm done with this matter! ”
"What are you going to do?" Su Xiaoyue looked at me worriedly.
"Stop talking nonsense!" I yelled at Su Xiaoyue with a hideous face: "Your stay here will only distract me!" Let's go! ”
"But." Su Xiaoyue wanted to say something, and I shouted to her anxiously: "Don't talk nonsense!" You want to kill me, don't you? Get out of here! ”
The female ghost behind her also seemed to understand the ability of this green ghost, she walked to Su Xiaoyue's side and gently pulled Su Xiaoyue: "Let's go, staying here will only distract Engong." ”
"That." Su Xiaoyue hesitated for a moment, glanced at the green ghost who didn't listen to the roar in the formation, and suddenly, Su Xiaoyue stretched out her head and kissed my face: "Yang Jian, promise me, you must come back alive." ”
"Hmm." I was overwhelmed by Su Xiaoyue's this, so I could only nod solemnly at her: "Don't worry, I will come back to you alive." ”
"Big sister." I stared at the green ghost who began to writhe in the formation, and commanded the female ghost beside me: "I don't know why you stayed here, but I beg you for one thing, you take care of her for me, I will come to you after I finish dealing with the matter here, and take you to the monk I said to me, please." ”
"Got it." The female ghost nodded at me: "Then Engong be careful." ”
After saying that, the female ghost pulled Su Xiaoyue and ran quickly to the side of the road, I saw them leave out of the corner of my eye, and smiled bitterly: "I don't know if I can survive this time, if my senior brother can't come back in time, then I will stay here forever." ”
