Chapter 40: The World Through the Eyes of a Child
Welai had heard a story before.
A foreign reporter came to the street to interview: If you have 100 million, are you willing to donate to the country unconditionally?
Answer: I do.
The reporter asked, "What if you want to donate your villa and mansion?"
The interviewee replied, "I would too." ”
The reporter finally asked: "Then what if you need to donate 10,000 yuan now?"
The interviewee smiled: "That's not good, I don't have 100 million, and I don't have a villa mansion." But I really have 10,000 dollars. ”
It's all the same.
It sounds good, but when you really have to face the danger and see the truth, the evil of the human heart comes out. Selfishness is human instinct.
When there is not enough social background and cultural atmosphere, it is not easy to be taught by Emperor Shen Yuan that these immortal cultivators do not do evil.
It is too difficult to expect immortal cultivators to have a general revenge to help the world and save the people.
It's like, just as there are no tax exemptions, no fame, how many of the 10,000 rich people can really do charity?
When it comes to immortal cultivators, it's the same. They have the same thing as the plutocrats.
Cultivating immortals seeks eternal life and is at ease, but none of them will teach people to sacrifice themselves to save others.
As soon as they found that the danger of killing this evil Jiao was so great, the major sects retreated one after another, and bluntly said: The evil Jiao has already died if he goes mad and falls into the devil, and he can wait for his violent death.
In the end, after no one rescued him, Qiling County was flooded for three years.
A large county with a population of 100,000 households within a radius of hundreds of miles has become a country, and hundreds of thousands of people have left their homes.
"In the beginning, everyone in the county refused to give up. Even the old wealth who picked up the door again in Ping Suli took out the silver and grain in the cellar of his family. The whole county has the money to go out, and they have the strength to make a concerted effort to repair the embankment and block the flooding spring river. ”
"But...... Eventually, the flood grew bigger and bigger every year, and the flooded land became more and more every time. In the end, only the thousand-foot-high Qiling Mountain was left unflooded...... We watched from the top of the hill and watched as the whole county turned into a big lake. A large lake that sets off hundreds of feet high waves from time to time. ”
"We lost our homes and all our food stockpiles. In the end, the court didn't care...... Qiling County is completely gone. We're just going out to beg for food......"
"Xiao Yong, like me, escaped from Qiling. There were many more, and they all died on the way. Maybe there are still many people who can survive, after all, Yu Country is so big......"
"Yes, yes......" Although Wei Lai already knew about the various strange conditions in the Lingyuan Continent, it was still difficult to be completely relieved when facing these survivors.
"When you're full, let's go to class. ”
"I ...... Can I pack these for Xiao Yong......? I've never eaten anything so delicious. Only...... Just a fritter. Tian Sitong asked weakly.
"Take it all, I'm full. Wasting food is not a virtue. Wei Lai smiled and touched Tian Sitong's head, and had a more accurate belief in what this class was going to talk about.
......
Tian Sitong excitedly and carefully packed the unfinished breakfast on the table, asked the cafeteria to borrow a food box, and hurriedly walked towards the teaching house.
After Caiyingzhuang helped Wei Lai build this huge Wei Mansion, it took a while to react, it turned out that the Wei Mansion built by Wei Lai did not have much meaning to enjoy life.
There are no pavilions, no rockery gardens, and no places for flowers and beasts to be kept in captivity.
On the contrary, it is like building a huge barracks + teaching house. Residential houses, bathrooms, a large and clean cafeteria, a huge school practice area, and most importantly, a three-storey school building.
Tian Sitong packed breakfast and walked quickly to find Lu Yong.
Lu Yong's dislocated arm had been connected, and he was pleasantly surprised to find that there were so many delicious foods, and he immediately devoured them.
However, it was not long before they heard another bell ringing with the sound of a gong.
The two of them understood that this was the meaning of class, and quickly ran towards the teaching house.
As soon as they arrived at the school, they saw a lot of teachers tidying up and guiding the children over 12 years old towards the assembly hall.
"It's going to the Great Hall, there's something big coming!" Tian Sitong realized something, and dragged Lu Yong over, preoccupied.
Lu Yong glanced at him, he was younger, he couldn't hide his thoughts, and asked Tian Sitong, who has always been smart: "Brother Sitong...... When I first came here, I was gathered in this Great Hall. Right now...... I watched a number of older people go to the Great Hall. We...... We...... Does this lord don't want us anymore, and he wants to sell us?"
"Actually...... I can eat less. It's to repair the city, and we are also the top hard-working!"
"If that's the case, I'm going to ask for advice. Brother Si Tongge learned arithmetic well, and he could recognize hundreds of words in a few months, and he could do things for the Wei family. Don't be sold to something bad! If one day, Brother Si Tong is prosperous, don't forget to save me!"
Tian Sitong opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he couldn't say anything for a long time.
No matter how hard Cai Yingzhuang tries to collect these orphans, it can only ensure that these people have food in the Wei Mansion. Even practicing exercises every day, reading and learning arithmetic in class, it was the people of Caiyingzhuang who had the heart to do it after Wei Lai added the budget.
But there is one thing, but no one knows why Wei Lai is doing this.
Therefore, the teachers had no choice but to say that it was the kindness of the eldest prince of Weilai, so they wanted to save these orphans.
But in reality, where are there so many good people?
These people who entered the Great Hall were all orphans who had been severely beaten by society, and the hardest thing to believe was pie in the sky. Although the last few months are as beautiful as in dreams, they often feel that sometimes it is an illusion, and maybe one day people wake up and the dream will be shattered.
Therefore, what worries them most is that one day they wake up and this good day is over.
Even if it is a better ending, I feel that maybe the Wei family is a big slave leader, and they want to train these children well and then sell them to those big families.
This is also the most common practice in this world, but some slave leaders are adopted, and they are unwilling to raise them well, or only raise those children who have good looks and good bones, unlike the Wei Mansion, no matter how good it is, even if there is a little disability, they are willing to accept it. Of course, there will be no older crippled children.
Most of these children, in the Lingyuan Continent, where medical treatment is underdeveloped, will not survive for a few days.
Therefore, the reason why Tian Sitong was speechless was that he felt that the Wei family did this, unless they were really lucky to be kind and do good deeds. Otherwise, he could really be a big slave trader.
On the contrary, in this world, if there is an opportunity to do things for this kind of person who does things fairly and can feed people, it is better to do things for those so-called big families than to do things for those so-called big families.
"If that day really comes, Xiaoyong, you must live and persevere, and when I am developed, I will save you. After Tian Sitong finished speaking, he took Lu Yong into the Great Hall.
But as soon as he entered, Tian Sitong was overjoyed.
He saw Wei Lai on the stage.
