Chapter 10 Righteousness and Courage
10 minutes later, Bai Yang had returned to the dormitory, and Yu Lei was still asleep at this time. Poplar first washed his face, cleaned himself up, changed his clothes, and lay down on the bed.
With his hands on his head, Bai Yang thought back to the changes that this night's cultivation had brought to him, which could be regarded as a real transformation, strictly speaking, he should be a cultivator in the true sense of the word at this time.
"I don't know what level my current strength is among cultivators?" Poplar thought so, but now there is no comparison, so naturally there is no concept.
Now the purple ball inside the lower dantian is almost the size of a fist, which is much larger than the original walnut size, so thinking about it, he should be in the very early stage of cultivators.
"The road is long, I will go up and down and seek." Poplar couldn't help but sigh.
"Brother Bai, wake up so early." Yu Lei's confused voice came from next door, squinting at the poplar.
"Ah, wake up, maybe I slept too much during the day." Poplar explained.
"I see you slept early yesterday, you should have slept enough, get up and go, let's go out." Poplar continued.
"It's so early, where are you going?"
"Just go around, it's a morning exercise, you see you have thin arms and thin legs, and you rarely exercise with code codes, right? Let's go, stop the ink. ”
"Oh, wash your face, I'll wait." Yu Lei rolled over and got out of bed and put on his coat.
When Yu Lei packed himself up, it was almost half past six, and the two left the school together.
Due to the impact of the tsunami, the city was cut off from water and electricity for the first few days, but it was basically restored two days ago. At this time, the sky is not completely bright, and the street lights on the street are basically turned on 24 hours a day because of the purple gas.
The original bright white light is like purple neon after passing through the purple gas, which is gorgeous and mysterious, but it adds a bit of different beauty.
As the two of them walked down the street, it was rare for pedestrians to appear, and the businesses on the street were closed, and they didn't even see the breakfast shops that usually got up early to do business.
"Maybe it's early." Poplar soothes himself.
"Or maybe it's because of the tsunami." And then I had to face reality.
The number of missing and dead people in the city due to the tsunami has also reached thousands, so Poplar did not even dare to step out of the school a few days ago, except yesterday for the first time.
Because Bai Yang really didn't want to see it, and he didn't want to think about the serious consequences of this disaster to ordinary people, he could only use crazy cultivation to force himself not to care about that.
But Yu Lei had gone to the nearby camp to take a look, and when he came back, he was silent with red eyes, and it took most of the day to recover before he talked about the tragic scene he saw.
According to Yu Lei's description, half of the camp had been vacated at that time, and the bodies of the victims were specially placed, including hundreds of corpses. And this happened in dozens of other camps at the same time.
Now that Bai Yang sees such a depressed and unpopular street scene, he has to evoke what he deliberately buried in his heart, and it also reminds him of the human tragedy that Yu Lei told him.
"Ancestor, is this the result you want to see? Do you have to die so many people to awaken the obsession for revival that has been buried for tens of thousands of years? ”
And at this time, in the hidden place, the last guardian and observer of mankind, the human ancestor, was slightly closing his eyes and sighed deeply, and slowly said to himself in an extremely old and weak voice: "This is just the beginning, children, we have no choice, because time is really running out. Then the Ancestor slowly raised his slightly trembling eyelids, and there was a glitter of crystal liquid in his eyes.
"Gollum, Gollum." Just as Poplar was complaining secretly, he suddenly heard a strange sound, and then he seemed to understand something, and turned his head to look at the embarrassed Yu Lei on the side.
"Hungry, hehe." Yu Lei said with a smile.
"Keep walking and see if there's a place to sell breakfast, if there's none, let's go back and eat."
Yu Lei nodded, anyway, the breakfast distribution time in the canteen of the resettlement site was at 7 o'clock, and he was not in a hurry for a while.
I walked a few minutes further, but I didn't see any breakfast shops along the street. Just as the two were about to turn around and walk back, Bai Yang saw a shop with lights on a few dozen meters in front of him, and when he looked at it, it turned out to be a convenience store.
Bai Yang patted Yu Lei's shoulder, pointed ahead, and motioned to go over and take a look, although Yu Lei looked dazed and couldn't see the scene ahead at all, but he also followed suspiciously.
When he got closer, Yu Lei realized what the purpose of the poplar was.
"Ding-dong." The glass door opens automatically.
"Welcome." A numb female voice came.
At the counter stood a girl in overalls with a cursed face, who looked to be in her early 20s.
Bai Yang glanced at it casually, thinking that this was another employee who was squeezed by the boss, and even in this situation, she had to get up early to go to work, no wonder she was depressed.
But Yu Lei was very curious, as if he hadn't seen a living person for a long time, and chatted with the girl at the counter.
"Hello, you're open so early."
"Hmm." The girl replied coldly.
"At this time, isn't your boss going to let you take a holiday?"
"Don't."
"Isn't that a bad business?"
"General."
......
Bai Yang listened with a black line on his face, thinking that programmers are also so cheeky, the girl doesn't have the heart to chat with someone now, so every time she answers Yu Lei's question, she doesn't exceed two words.
If it weren't for the fact that the girl was still only guarding the last bit of professional ethics, I am afraid that Yu Lei would have been blasted out.
"Ahem." Poplar coughed a few times and tried to remind Yu Lei.
Fortunately, this kid is not stupid, and when he saw Poplar winking at him, he had no choice but to walk away and go inside with Poplar to pick something.
"Master Lei, have you talked about girlfriends?" Poplar asked in a whisper.
"Nope." Yu Lei looked at him with some doubts.
"That's no wonder, haha." Bai Yang laughed and said, "For a person with a high IQ like you, it doesn't matter if you have EQ and a girlfriend. ”
"I ......" Yu Lei was a little speechless, completely confused, so Bai Yang laughed again when he saw his stunned appearance.
"Yo, Sister Lin, I'm off work so early." Just when Bai Yang was busy teasing Yu Lei, there was a male voice outside, as if he was talking to the girl at the counter.
"Why are you here again?" The girl's voice was a little annoyed, and there was a hint of fear in her words.
"It's not that I'm afraid that you miss Brother Bao and me too much, so it's better to see each other if you miss it, you say yes, Sister Lin." At this time, another male voice sounded, and it didn't sound like a joke between friends, but it really looked like a teasing.
"What else do you want?" The girl said angrily.
"We just want to protect your safety, you see at this juncture, no one can be sure to meet the wealth, or even the color, tsk."
"In the past few days, you have come to ask for protection money once a day, and I have given you a few hundred before and after, for fear that the boss will find out that it is all my own money. Don't go too far. The girl's words were slightly weeping.
"Your black-hearted boss, is it worth working so hard for him? It's better to give us the money in the cabinet at one time, and I can also give you a share, what's the matter, it's a win-win situation. ”
"Aren't you afraid that the police will come to you?"
"Haha, joke, the police are too busy to take care of themselves now, we will play and disappear after taking the money, this one who can't see his five fingers, where to find us." I only heard the man who called himself Brother Bao laughing wildly.
"How about Sister Lin, think about it? If not, we'll do it ourselves. Hey, hey, hey. ”
"Get out, don't touch me, I'll really call the police and call someone like this."
"If there is no signal, where are you going to call the police, sister, if you want to call someone, it will take you an hour or two for the police patrol to come, do you think my brothers will not be prepared for this time? Hey, hey, hey. ”
Hearing the sound outside, Poplar and Yu Lei also glanced at each other, and were about to go out to have a look, but before Poplar could move, Yu Lei had already flashed out, and then heard a trembling shout, "Let go of that girl, let me come." ”
The scene was silent, and the poplar was already stunned in place like petrified, and there was no sound outside, presumably completely "shocked" by Yu Lei's appearance.
"No, I mean, let go of that girl, come to me, come to me." Yu Lei also felt that something was wrong, so he reacted immediately and hurriedly explained.
"Haha, four-eyed boy, I'll just say that you are not one of our fellow travelers, the good guy scared Lao Tzu, I really thought that there was a big brother who cut off the beard."
"Four-eyed boy, if you're here to buy something, then hurry up and give the money and leave, and today's incident will be treated as if nothing happened." Brother Bao smiled playfully, "If you want to see righteousness and bravery, tsk, then I don't mind trying my freshly opened knife." ”
"Courage is commendable, do you want to learn from heroes to save beauty, little four-eyed." Another man also stepped forward and put his hand on Yu Lei's shoulder and said.
"I'm ......" Yu Lei stammered a little in response, but he couldn't say why.
"That's right, we're here to do good deeds." At this time, Poplar also walked out from behind the shelves, and said with a harmless smile on his face, "We are civilized friends and hobby citizens." ”
"Yo, there's another one who isn't afraid of death, did this tsunami make your brains water? These are all scrambling to come to righteousness bravely? ”
The one who spoke was a sturdy man who was not tall, at most 1.7 meters tall, with a board head and a bright short knife in his hand, this person was Brother Nabao.
And beside him stood a thin and tall man, with two mustaches, holding Yu Lei's shoulder with one hand, putting a cigarette in his mouth with the other, and looking at Poplar with a mocking face.
Yu Lei's expression at this time was to look at Baiyang with an embarrassed smile, as if he was apologizing for his failure to succeed. The girl at the counter also looked at this scene in surprise, she didn't expect that Yu Lei and Bai Yang would both give her a head one after another, or come out to "send her to death".
Poplar shook his head helplessly, he was worried that he had no place to try his skills, although he punched and kicked in the ruins last night for a long time, but the object of venting was never a living thing.
Now that someone has sent it to the door by himself, Poplar suddenly feels a little itchy on the soles of his feet.
"Come on, hit me." Bai Yang said to Brother Bao.
"What?" Brother Bao's eyes widened.
"Hit me, quick." Poplar was impatient.
"Are you sick?" Brother Bao opened his nostrils and looked at Poplar unreasonably, thinking that he had met a fool.
"What's the ink, why did you tell you to hit me, are you a stupid fork?" Bai Yang pointed at Brother Bao and said, losing no time in provoking again.
"Fuck you, uncle." Brother Bao was also completely enraged by the poplar, and raised the short knife in his hand to cut at the poplar.
