Chapter 19: A Late Gift
"I can't eat these things right now." Sean looked at his sister's somewhat lost eyes, yesterday was her birthday, but it was ruined by his own accident, he showed an apologetic look, "You eat it yourself, don't waste it!" … I watched you eat, and you ate a little better! ”
"Brother!" Xiao Xue said angrily, seeing that her brother's mood seemed to be normal, and his body was not so bad, and there was a doctor who took special care of him, and his heart that was hanging in the air could finally be put down.
"Let's eat!"
Shaun said again, I had lunch at noon yesterday, cooked the dishes in the evening, and then rushed to the hospital, and stayed up all night, and it was impossible for my sister not to be hungry.
Responding gently, Xiao Xue slowly opened the food box so that her brother could see it clearly, and then tasted it while introducing it, it really looked like she was doing a show.
A ray of sunlight shone in through the window, yesterday's thunderstorm in exchange for today's good weather, the cool morning breeze swept a few wet dead leaves outside the window, which were blown to it by the wind yesterday, hanging tenaciously.
Xiao Xue ate in small bites, looking at her brother's expression from time to time, trying to smile happily.
Sean raised an eyebrow, maybe the media is really for her.
"Brother, did the doctor say when you can eat? I'll make it for you when I get home. Xiao Xue put down her chopsticks and asked.
"Soon, a day or two!" Sean said with relief.
"What happened yesterday? I was cut off in the middle of the call, was it that time..."Xiao Xue suddenly asked.
Xiao En shook his head, although it was the first lightning strike at that time, but if it was said, Xiao Xue would definitely feel even more guilty.
"Actually, it was okay at the time, but there was a thunderbolt on the way back that was relatively close, and I was affected, but... It's not good now! Don't worry, sometimes bad things can turn into good things, maybe my brother can become Superman! Sean said half-jokingly.
Xiao Xue pursed her lips and smiled: "Why do you want to be superhuman, I think people just need to be healthy." ”
"Isn't it good to be Superhuman? Can it protect you, it can fight bad guys, and it can make a lot of money to live a good life? Sean asked her with a slight smile.
Xiao Xue pouted and looked at her brother: "What's so good!" If you do something good outside every day, you have to be scolded, no one understands, and then it is dangerous. ”
"That's it!" Sean replied, resting his head lightly on the pillow, the bed already rocked high, a comfortable position.
It can be seen from Xiao Xue's opinion on superheroes just now that this is a girl who likes a quiet life, although she likes to engage in media, but if her family is a superhero, it seems that she doesn't like it very much!
Xiao Shiping was a little annoyed, no wonder Xiuzhen had to cut off his relatives, this person had one idea, one person took care of countless ideas, and it was so difficult to advance.
Xiao Xue glanced at him, and continued to eat, she is a snacker, but fortunately, her physique is not easy to gain weight, although she eats slowly, she can eat for a long time, just like a cute hamster, gently sipping the food she made and slowly solving it.
Sean smiled faintly, as if he saw his young self laughing and tasting delicious food together, and the method of cultivating true sympathy can substitute emotions into himself.
Wait slowly for Xiao Xue to finish eating, pack up her things, and put the rest of the dishes in the refrigerator.
"Xiaoxue," Sean motioned for his sister to pick up the check on the bedside, "That's your birthday present!" ”
Yesterday's accident prevented him from giving that birthday present, but a check for fifteen thousand dollars from Western perfectly remedied.
Five thousand dollars is a semester, and fifteen thousand dollars is exactly one academic year.
The family living security fund is a very important amount for the two siblings now.
Xiao En's usual job is to deliver food, and Xiao Xue has been working part-time in writing since two months ago, in addition to her usual study, she will also find some part-time writing jobs, which is what she is good at. There are countless screenwriters in Hollywood, and some people will scatter some manuscripts that are not particularly important for people to write for them.
Of course, this kind of work is paid by the number of words, and the writer's name does not appear on any work.
Xiao Xue can earn five or six hundred dollars a month on this, which is much better than simply being a waitress, after all, it is very close to the industry she wants to engage in in the future, and it is not very hard.
"Brother! This is" Xiao Xue picked up the check in surprise, looking at the numbers on it in a daze, and the name of the person, weird.
"Western signed a deal with me not to change the attending doctor." Sean explained softly.
"Brother, you lied to me!" Xiao Xue's face turned red, how could he give money if he was in charge, this is against common sense.
"I didn't lie to you!" Sean shook his head, "Few lightning victims can survive, and if I can live, it's a case worth studying... In this country, how can there be anything that makes you study in vain, he has to pay! ”
Xiao Xue listened to Xiao En's explanation and breathed a sigh of relief, she was afraid that her brother would inexplicably agree to something and make sacrifices that she didn't know.
"This life must be saved, and it will take a few days before it is completely well." Sean looked at his sister and nodded with a smile, "It's good that you watch me here, and you have to sleep here." ”
He is not worried that his sister is at home alone, the tenants in that area are mixed, there are also several gangs, and his sister is at home alone, which will definitely cause some people's bad intentions.
This city needs sunshine!
Sean tilted his head slightly, his gaze cold.
As Xiao Shiping, he has always been decisive and never dragged mud and water, as Xiao En, he is full of love for his relatives and disgust with this environment. With the two mixed up, it's no surprise that such a decision was made.
In the knowledge system of cultivation, consciousness can be divided and is a symbol of strength, but in this world, it is called multiple personalities, which is a symptom of mental illness.
The fundamental reason why the standards of the two worlds are so different in their perception of things is that this body cannot adapt.
Xiao Shiping sank his mind and ran the aura in his body with all his might, wrapping those cells that had not yet been transformed, making them strong as soon as possible.
Seeing her brother close his eyes and rest, Xiao Xue gently stood up and walked in front of him, checking the wounds on his body, which seemed to be showing signs of healing, which is a good thing!
Looking at the numbers on the instrument again, it was normal, and she carefully walked back to the edge of the sofa and sat down, leaning on it, she also fell asleep.
Hearing the slight sound of breathing on the other side of the sofa, Sean opened his eyes slightly, thinking about the future of himself and his sister.
As Xiao Shiping, his goal is to return to his own world in the future, but as Shaun, he hopes that he and his sister can live happily and happily.
Not contradictory.
The two worlds may be just a thought, Xiao Shiping does not plan to go back with this body, after he is strong, he can completely reshape his ideal body.
When the cultivation reached the Jindan stage, it was at least eight hundred years of life, and ordinary people in this world had to die at the age of eighty, Xiao Shiping was almost close to Yuanying's cultivation before he was plotted.
The Yuan Infant Stage is nothing in the cultivation realm, as long as you dare to pile up resources, it doesn't hurt to pile them all the way, the problem is that the resources in this world are limited, some people want to pile them all the way down, but what they extract is the resources of the low-level monks. One Yuan Ying Cheng means the resources of hundreds of foundation building monks, this pyramid structure is really too ruthless, and there are countless resources one level higher than Yuan Ying.
Is there an end to practice?
Endless!
......
Thinking of this, Sean immediately turned to Xiao Shiping's thinking and began to deduce the survival mode in his world.
He also wanted to find a way to maintain the long-term development of the world by engaging in a rebel army in the Xiuzhen world, because he learned in an ancient book that every once in a while, when the resources of a world are exhausted by a few high-level monks, the world will become silent, and everyone will die and no longer have life, and it will not be until a long, long time later that the world's resources may slowly recover and life will reappear.
It's scary!
Especially for those who have no hope of reaching the top monk class, it is extremely painful to be destined to dissipate in this world!
"The aura is drained, and there is no radioactivity in this world, and most people will die because they don't adapt to such a world." Xiao Shiping knew how painful the cultivators would be after they lost their aura, and all the cells were crying and crying out for hunger.
Reiki can be made, and that's great news.
In fact, the life of cultivating the truth is also monotonous, the kind of grabbing resources everywhere, either you die or I die, the dead Dao friends do not die in the poor Dao, and they inhale spiritual energy every day to refine spells, and they don't know where the meaning of life is.
In Xiao Shiping's eyes, most of the cultivators are too life-sparing, and they are too life-sparing. It's a super complex contradiction, saying that it's for immortality and the pursuit of the Great Dao, but in fact, most people don't know what they're living for.
There is one who counts one, and he opens his mouth to people who are lower than himself all day long, and then he is called an ant by a higher person, either you despise me, or I despise you.
In the world of cultivation, all the days are a chain of contempt with a simple structure flying all over the sky.
This shouldn't be a normal world!
Xiao Shiping always felt that something must have gone wrong before the formation of the Xiuzhen society, so he made that world look like that.
He has lost his parents since he was a child, and like Shaun, he grew up in the contempt of others, got adventures, and embarked on the path of cultivation, but he never gave up reflecting on his life path.
After merging into Sean's thinking, he was surprised to find that this world, this society, also works like this, and everyone also likes you to eat me and I eat you.
This is called the law of nature, survival of the fittest, natural selection, survival of the fittest!
Two worlds, different laws, but with similar values, is this the avenue?
Natural selection, survival of the fittest!
Who is the day?
What is suitable?
