Chu Yun, Chu Yiwei, and Yuan Xiaowen are still talking about how they came into contact with those mud things, and they are also talking about their superpowers. Chu Yiwei is very worried about what her future will be! She knew from her sister and others that when she woke up tomorrow, her body would change. will become pretty. It's good to be pretty, but her worries about the future are suppressed.

These three 'girl' children are afraid that they will become insane like Yuan Xiaowen's mother, and even go to the end of self-destruction.

I kept tapping my hand on the armrest of the sofa, struggling internally, wondering whether to make everything in the message clear and let them understand their real situation. If things are really as I guessed, I'm afraid it will become a big deal!

It took me a long time before I decided. Coughing hard, I looked up and said abruptly, "I wonder if you know an ancient Greek philosopher named Socrates?" ”

No one understood what I was trying to say, just shook their heads blankly. Mobile txt

I calmly told myself, "Then I'll tell you a story about him." One day, he led a few disciples to a wheat field. It was the ripening season, and the ground was full of heavy ears of wheat. Socrates said to his disciples, 'Go and pluck the largest ear of wheat in the field, and you are not allowed to go in or out.' I am waiting for you at the end of the wheat field. ’

After the disciples understood the teacher's request, they walked into the wheat field one after another.

"The field is full of ears of barley, but which one is the greatest? The disciples buried their heads and walked forward. looked at this one and shook his head; Looking at that one, he shook his head again. They always thought that the biggest ears of wheat were waiting ahead. Although the disciples also tried to pick a few ears, they were not satisfied, so they threw them away. They always think that there are still many opportunities, and there is no need to make a decision too early.

The disciples walked forward with their heads bowed while carefully picking and choosing, and a long time passed.

"Suddenly, the old voice of Socrates was heard: 'You have come to an end.' At this time, the disciples who were empty-handed woke up like from a dream. The e-book is finished for download

"Socrates said to his disciples, 'There must be an ear of wheat in this field that is the largest, but you may not be able to touch it, and even if you do, you may not be able to make an accurate judgment. Therefore the biggest ear is the one you have just plucked. ’”

Can you hear anything in this story? ”

The three 'girl' children shook their heads again.

I paused before saying, "This story tells a truth. That is, people's lives seem to be walking in the wheat field, and they are also looking for the biggest ear. Some people saw the full 'ear of wheat' and lost no time in plucking it, while others looked around and missed the opportunity again and again. Of course, the pursuit should be the greatest, but holding the ears of wheat in front of you in your hands is real. ”

"What exactly are you trying to say?" Chu Yun became a little impatient, "The most annoying thing about you is that you like to play dumb riddles!" ”

I almost choked on her words, and said depressedly: "Okay, I'll be blunt, and you'll understand why I told this story in the first place." ”

"I just collected some information and found some interesting things." Glancing at them, I slowly said, "The first one is about the disappearance. Every year, at least 300 people go missing from this small 'jade' stone township. I did a little calculation, probably from 81 years ago, that is, around the 17th year of the Republic of China, there were a large number of missing people in this vicinity. On average, three hundred and sixty-five a year, basically one goes missing a day. This is a very frightening number, eighty-one years combined, a total of 29,565 people have disappeared in the small 'jade' stone township. Moreover, all the missing people were foreigners, and not a single person from the village had a population. ”

"Impossible!" Yuan Xiaowen and the three of them covered their mouths in surprise, "We've all been here for so long, how come we've never heard of this kind of thing." And it's really true, such a huge amount of data has already been exposed by the surrounding media! ”

"I didn't know when I came, but my companion counted the floating population of 'Yu' Shixiang over the years and checked the disappearance rate. It also used some kind of pipeline to get this data, and the credibility is very high. ”

I took a sip of my drink and continued, "And over the years, the disappearance rate has remained surprisingly consistent, regardless of history and times. Not more than one, not less than one. It's like it's cursed. In the past 81 years, successive local government officials and media departments have blocked the disappearance case, and ordinary people in this small countryside have been completely blocked from this information, and they are completely unaware of it. ”

"However, there are many cases of media around me reporting on the disappearance and mysterious death of the ghost place of 'Jade' Shixiang, and I have seen several newspapers that have published news that so-and-so in that place of 'Jade' Shixiang has killed a makeup artist for some reason, or killed the owner of a wedding dress shop, etc., and their deaths have a few things in common. First, it is all about beauty-loving 'women' and 'sex'. Second, there is a mention of makeup. Three, when he died, his face was as weird as mud. ”

I tapped my finger on the armrest: "It's funny that every time this kind of news comes up. The 'jade' Shi Township government will put pressure on the neighbor government to protest, and seriously warn the foreign media not to spread the false rumors. A sum of money would then be given as a sponsorship on the condition that the media would cooperate with the government to take back the newspaper of the day so that rumors would not spread. ”

"The location of 'Jade' Stone Township is originally very inland, and the economy of the surrounding brother towns is very poor, and only one of them is very rich. Usually it is very effective to do things with money. However, there is also a counterproduct, and many poor media and poor politicians often send reporters to find news in this area in order to get their so-called 'sponsorship'. After finding it, he brazenly used it to blackmail the 'jade' Shixiang Zhengfu, and the amazing thing is that it worked every time! I paused slightly: "This phenomenon has to be said to be an anomaly. Chu Yiwei and the others listened very carefully, Chu Yun frowned and said: "Zhengfu is indeed very problematic, since coercion can be useful every time, that is to say, it must have justification or unspoken rules, and even serious 'manipulation' in the dark." Fear of being exposed and affecting the reputation of the place. After all, the 'jade' stone township was originally a large 'jade' stone distribution center, and if there are many negative rumors, I'm afraid not too many people dare to come. If fewer people come, the local economy will fall. At that time, no matter how good the quality of the 'jade' is, there is no secondary dealer to come to wholesale, and in the end it can only be sold at the price of radish. ”
