Chapter Seventy-Three: A Knock at the Door
(Ask for recommendation)
Ah Thin was in a very good mood tonight.
He did have a reason to be in a good mood, not only because he and Ah Fat received the task of guiding the envoys of countries around the world, so that they met the legendary Master Beiran, his idol, but also because he was praised and guided by Master Beiran in person!
On that day, accompanying the two envoys to leave Huangshi Village and return to the camp, at the stall that was about to separate, Ah Shou plucked up the courage to ask Master Beiran about his special abilities in person.
Ah Shou saw that there were still two intersections to reach the camp, and he knew that a small person like himself would probably only have one chance to meet a person like Wang Beiran in his life. He looked at Ah Fat sitting next to him, the handsome young man sitting in the back row, and the mysterious man dressed in black.
I don't know where the courage came from, and I said in a dry, almost trembling voice: "Beiran...... Master Beiran. ”
"En?", Wang Beiran, who was pretending to sleep and was thinking about various ideas, was interrupted by Ah Shou's shout, "What?"
"Master Beiran, I know it's presumptuous, but this question has really bothered me for a long time, I am a plant-based special ability, and I awakened at the age of eleven, but for so many years, there has been no growth, and my friends say that I am the waste of the special people, but I am not reconciled, I am fortunate to meet you today, can you help me take a look." ”
Ah Thin almost finished speaking in one breath, his hands and feet were trembling in the process, and he could see the sharp eyes of the accompanying chief, who almost pierced him, yes, what kind of thing was he? What kind of occasion did he think this was? University class? Who did he know who he was asking? He was the president of the Chinese region of the Association of Exceptions of the Global Alliance of Nations, and the highest leader of the entire group of people with exceptions in China.
Ai Cheng put on an interested smile, he saw the beads of sweat rolling down Ah Thin's face, observing the emotional changes of human beings on this planet has always been one of his great hobbies, because in this small world, the seven emotions and six desires of these ants are so similar to the world he lives in, and the guide that caused them waves is so small and ridiculous in his eyes.
This can be called a sociological perspective of God, which is actually ubiquitous in advanced civilizations.
It is like a rich man with a fortune who is surprised to see a beggar fighting on the side of the road to grab a copper plate, a mathematics professor who finds himself explaining the most basic calculus and the wonder that the people around him don't understand, and an emperor sitting in the Jinluan Hall who hears someone starving to death in the distance and wonders "why doesn't he eat broth?"
People of different classes and social status face the same situation, and the way of dealing with it will be very different, and what one class gambles on their lives to do may be as easy as a finger in another. What is shocking in the eyes of one class is nothing more than a passing breeze in another.
And when the so-called higher classes look at the lower classes and fight for things they don't care about, the perspective of God arises, and they watch things that seem so small to them as if they were watching a play, and the excess enthusiasm in their sensual emotions sometimes appears in the form of pity, and sometimes it becomes what people often call "good deeds".
In fact, mercy is a sign of the existence of a class, and good deeds are the executioners of the reduction of independent personality.
When you have compassion on me, it means that you have what I yearn for but cannot obtain, and when I accept your good deeds, I acquiesce in my own incompetence and can only enjoy your handouts.
In this way, seeking nothing is indeed a necessary condition for creating an independent personality, which just confirms the old saying "no desire is rigid".
However, society is full of desires, so people fight, fight, cooperate, turn against each other, have mercy, do good, beg, and humble, which makes up this wonderful ukiyo-e.
Ai Cheng felt that he was the viewer of this ukiyo-e, and everything in the painting was at his fingertips, and it was as light as a feather. But unlike what has been mentioned above, he clearly does not have excessive compassion, much less do ridiculous good deeds.
When the distance between the classes is too large, the status of the two becomes the difference between people and pigs and dogs, and the upper class will not release goodwill, but will eat them.
In Ai Cheng's opinion, this is what it looks like.
After Ah Shou said those words to Wang Beiran, his whole brain was blank, and he looked at Wang Beiran's puzzled gaze in a daze, like a prisoner waiting to be executed.
"You show me. Wang Beiran said.
Ah Shou was stunned for at least two seconds, "Hey!", then hurriedly responded, stretched out his hand, a small cactus slowly emerged from the palm of the palm, and stopped when it grew to about the size of a water cup, it was the kind of emerald green cactus, with a layer of sharp spikes on the outside.
"Huh?", Wang Beiran let out a surprised voice, with his experience, he could see at a glance that Ah Thin's special energy was extremely pure, so the energy contained in this cactus was also extremely terrifying, but why had he achieved nothing for so many years?
Wang Beiran also grasped the key point at once, obviously Ah Shou is a person who has not been educated in the control of special energy at all, and he always tends to release all his abilities, and does not know how to use them more accurately and skillfully.
This phenomenon that the form of its own ability is more refined than other people's special energy, in Wang Beiran's opinion, they are all geniuses in the group of special people, but if they manifest in common energies such as water, fire, and wind, they will have more advantages, such as Huang Qifat.
Ah Shou is a cactus, so it is difficult for Wang Beiran to figure out the situation in a very short period of time, and he is not related to the child in front of him, and this child is a person who sincerely works for the Global Alliance of Nations, so Wang Beiran is a little bit of a talent, but he is also not interested.
Wang Beiran touched the spikes on the cactus with his hand, hesitated and encouraged: "You are not a waste, on the contrary, you are still very good, in the future, you will only manifest half of the special ability, and the general energy is used to experience the circulation of energy in the cactus, and when you can shoot the spikes out, it will be considered a beginner." ”
As soon as Wang Beiran's voice fell, the car stopped at the gate of the camp, and Ah Shou Nene said "Thank you, Master Beiran", and watched Wang Beiran and Ai Cheng get out of the car. ”
"Regardless of the occasion, if you influence your superiors and do not have a bad impact, you will be fined one month's salary. As soon as Ah Shou saw them walk away, he heard the cold words of the accompanying captain.
"Good captain", Ah Thin's tone did not feel aggrieved and unwilling at all, on the contrary, he was very happy, not to mention a month's salary, even if it was two months, he would not frown.
Ah Shou was lying on the bed, his mind went through the scenes of the day again, his heart was full of hope, Master Beiran said that I am a genius, then I must be a genius, a big man like him, there is no need to lie to himself at all.
The moonlight tonight is especially good, the silver-white light is scattered in front of his bed, just like ten years ago, ten years ago, it was also on such a moonlit night, he was beaten and thrown out of the orphanage.
When I was eleven years old, strange cacti began to pop up on my hands often, and they came out uncontrollably, and the children began to call themselves monsters, and the teachers also felt that they were abnormal, and finally after being bullied, they used their cactus balls to put them in the seat of the teacher who bullied them the most.
It is said that the teacher's butt was swollen for a week, and he was thrown out, and just when he thought he was almost dead, Ah Fat saved him.
A child two years older than himself, and an orphan who often had some cleverness, he had a thatched house on the river dam on the north side of the city, and he took him to his home and saved him.
Since then, Ah Shou has taken Ah Fat as his eldest brother, and the two have become inseparable partners.
The thought came back, and Ah Shou remembered Wang Beiran's suggestion before getting out of the car, not to use all his strength to conjure up a cactus every time, but to leave the general energy to feel.
He felt that he didn't understand a little, well, he felt that his brain was not very bright when he was a child, and there was a world of difference compared to Ah Fat. For such a complicated matter, he felt that he needed Fat's guidance and advice.
"Gollum", Ah Thin heard Ah Pang muttering something that he didn't know, he thought Ah Pang was awake.
"Fat ...... Ah fat", he shouted softly, he needed his good partner to analyze it for him.
"What are you doing! Labor and management just fell asleep! Do you want to be beaten!", Ah Shou succeeded, and woke up Ah Fat, who had just been talking in his sleep.
"Ahem, that ......", Ah Thin was a little embarrassed, and was about to speak, when he heard a knock.
Ah Thin thought it was his own delusion, and was about to ask Ah Fat, when he saw Ah Fat sitting up alertly, "Don't make a noise." Ah Fat said.
"Knock...... Knock", two more knocks on the door.
"Big ...... Big brother", Ah Thin grunted and swallowed, "Go open the door?"
Ah Fat was also a little frightened, at two or three o'clock in the middle of the night, they lived in the outermost room, who would come to them, and if the captain had kicked the door open, he would not have knocked so politely.
"Knock knock", three more gentle sounds.
Intuitively, Ah Fat was a little unsteady, but he didn't dare to shout, otherwise if it was his own prank, it would be a shame to die. He picked up the machete under his bed and walked slowly to the door.
