Gu Chuan's bed was close to the window, and he could see out of the window.

The clouds of melancholy condensation are like a sea in the sky. The rain poured down on the eaves and windows engraved with the symbol of the eye.

Gu Chuan said:

"And what do you think of now?"

Before he could finish speaking, he noticed that the young men who seemed to be asleep had opened their eyes one by one.

It turned out that they had been awakened early by the riverbank. For example, Yuhua, Yuhua has been lying on the quilt, carefully listening to the conversation between He'an and Gu Chuan.

The young men's eyes were focused on the two men in astonishment.

This amazement is nothing else...... It's a kind of surprise and sadness to find that someone else's thoughts are exactly the same as your own.

This is not the realization of one person on the riverbank.

Gu Chuan discovered this.

The sensitive teenagers from Rizhao Village all felt the loss caused by the sudden change in their living environment.

The riverbank turned his back to the crowd, tossing and turning uneasily, and finally jerked off the quilt, sat up, and stared at the others.

He didn't want to say it.

But Pebble suddenly cried:

"Let's talk about it, Brother Kishiko."

Suddenly his head swelled, and he let out an astonishing roar that silenced the people. The young men looked at each other and knew that the riverbank was not at peace now.

"Why are you angry at us?"

Gu Chuan patted him on the back calmly and said calmly:

"It's okay, just say what you think, maybe it's not a big deal! Maybe we've all been there. ”

The riverbank's body trembled, as if suddenly he had let out a breath, and made him let out a long whimper. He suddenly felt that he had deviated from his parents' expectations, and that he might be left behind by everyone, and his eyes were moist and red. But because of a kind of youthful stubbornness, he never wanted to cry, so he turned his head, bit his lip, and said in a low, almost whimpering voice:

"I don't have any particular thoughts...... I can't tell. I thought it was a good place at first, it was a novelty. But now, now, I suddenly noticed that the situation in Sunset City seemed to be different from the situation in the village...... In the village, every day seems to be the same, and every tomorrow repeats yesterday. But it's getting so fast...... Something happened to me and left me behind......"

He turned his back to Gu Chuan, and said it intermittently and stopped talking about it.

He'an didn't say anything about his experience, Gu Chuan knew that it was unspeakable that He'an was still young, but he asked Gu Chuan himself to rise up in a foreign land, and said:

"Quick...... Yes, where there are a lot of people, things always change quickly. ”

There are no stars on a rainy day.

Speaking of which, in fact, Gu Chuan has never seen the stars in this world. A night without stars is always gloomy to the point of being terrible. I can only look from afar and see this gloomy city. Thousands of starlight-like lamps floated outside the dark buildings, floated on the water of the great river, and floated in the rain.

Artificial streamers adorned the long night, and the sundial tower in the distance let out one indifferent sound after another.

"Do you want to go back to the village? Just go back to Rizhao Village, and the caravan can take you back. ”

Gu Chuan asked again.

When the river bank heard this question, he paused.

He originally wanted to go back, but when the words came to his lips, he thought of what he looked like when he told Gu Chuan that he was going to enter the city. At that time, he wanted everyone to go into the city together. Then he thought about it a little further, thinking of what his parents expected of him, and told him that he wanted to settle in Sunset City, and that Sunset City was the best, and so on. The little thought of going back was suddenly dispelled, and he blurted out:

"I didn't want to go back, I had to stay here...... I...... I ......"

The river bank said to me several times, biting his lip tightly.

Gu Chuan looked directly at him and said:

"Are you unwilling?"

The riverbank suddenly became weak, and replied:

"I don't know."

Because of the presence of girls, the boys in Rizhao Village wear shorts and single clothes when they sleep. At that time, Gu Chuan stood up, first locked the door, and then closed the front and rear curtains, plunging the room into darkness. This is what Mr. Dek did when he was discussing things at his own home.

Then he lit the only glow tree lamp in the room.

The orange-yellow light, suddenly shining through the glass in the darkness, illuminated the young people's incomprehensible faces. This extraordinary solemnity made them all confused.

Then, Gu Chuan returned to the bed, sat cross-legged on the quilt, and asked the river bank again:

"What do you want to do in the city after that, and what are you going to do? Now tell me about it, it's okay, you can say it. Let's chat, let's chat. ”

The river bank hesitated for a moment, and a kind of pressure that solidified around him weighed heavily on him, so that he couldn't think of anything for a while, and couldn't think of it, so he could only murmur and follow the guidance of his heart:

"I didn't want to do anything special...... I just, I was just wondering if there was a good way to make money, a way to earn more chameleon coins, so that my parents wouldn't worry about me and that they would fulfill their wishes. I want to settle in Sunset City...... Then I took both my parents over. ”

When he finished, there was silence in the room.

The pairs of eyes poking out of the bed quietly stared at the two speakers.

"Is there a way to make money?"

Gu Chuan could roughly imagine what happened to the riverbank.

"Then why make money?"

He asked again.

"When I was studying with Dr. Ding, I discovered ......," said He'an, forgetting that the concept was not his own, but that he was talking to other apprentices when they were talking to him. He memorized these words, and now the more he thinks about them, the more correct they become, and they become his own realization, "It's not that medical skills can change people's lives, but that money can change people's lives." Studying medicine is just for the sake of being rich, and as long as there is money, even a person like Dr. Ding can name a clinic and open it all over Sunset City. ”

The more he spoke, the more confident he became, and the more excited he became, as if he were telling some kind of truth:

"Yes, the reason why people are chasing strange things is not because of the value of strange things, but because they sell strange things to the big families in the inner city, and the big families will pay a lot of money! If the big family doesn't give money, then the strange things are useless! Yes, that's it, to make money, and not for anything else...... Ogawa, do you remember? ”

"What's wrong?"

Gu Chuan saw that the river bank turned his head, his eyes were red, and his slightly darkened face was also red.

"I remember, again, you said something that I always remember...... You say that money represents people's ability to mobilize social resources. You're right, me! I'm just now getting it. ”

He paused word by word, revealing a flawless expression of adoration.

Gu Chuan was stunned.

He had forgotten whether he had said this or not, but he knew that when he was with this group of young people, he often couldn't help but say something about what he had learned.

But the riverbank remembers it well. His eyes were in the dark, staring at Gu Chuan in the orange light, and while recalling, he said the words that Gu Chuan thought was cool and handsome after Gu Chuan said it, so he remembered it very clearly.

"You said at that time that because a person often has insufficient resources to meet his own needs, and has a surplus of other needs. In order to meet the differentiated and different needs of each person, trade between people will be born in the birth and division of labor in society. Trade needs a medium, and there will be money. And the currency of being able to buy items from someone else's hands, or buy one's services...... It is an important thing that it has the ability to mobilize social resources in essence. Indeed, I found ...... What Dr. Ding relied on was nothing more than that bit of family property. He controlled us with his little possessions......"

When Riverbank finished speaking, it seemed that he had already touched the truth of the core of Sunset City. His words caused the other young men to look up in astonishment.

The pebble lying on the bed silently sounded:

"Brother Chuan did say it. I remember saying this when we were playing together in the fields after a caravan came. ”

Gu Chuan laughed, and he also remembered.

"There is indeed such a thing."

The light was dim, and a series of shadows suddenly changed. Yuhua moved the position of the lamp slightly. She and Yamamo both got up in their pajamas and sat in their respective seats.

The river bank lowered his head, and in his simple mind, many thoughts were rolling:

"I'm different, I can't think of that...... Now I might just want to make more money...... I want people who originally looked down on me to know what it's like to be looked down upon. ”

When the words fell, a terrible sentence fell into the young man's mind:

In the world, money and power alone cannot be ignored. Fools will be respected, sages will stoop, children will be amazed, mortals will be jealous and envious.

Gu Chuan said in a trance:

"You say I have a lot of ideas, so I can tell you...... I have some ideas to make money. ”

He didn't think about making money.

It's just that he originally hoped that he would be quietly doing more studies and learning more things here in Mr. De, in order to wait for the opportunity. He felt that he was still young and had time to prepare for the business.

As soon as the words fell, a voice on one side asked:

"What's that idea? Brother Chuan. ”

This is not a riverbank, this is a pebble.

Gu Chuan turned his head to look at him, he was almost pleading, clasped his hands in front of his chest, lowered his head in the light, and said:

"We've known since we were kids that you're the one with the most ideas between us. We didn't understand anything at first, but then we found out that it all made sense. ”

Pebble's body was lanky, and the shadow behind him had long disappeared into the darkness.

He looked up and said:

"We all want to believe in you."

Even the eyes of Yuhua, Shan Tao and others also fell on him.

"I'd like to tell you, too." Gu Chuan was still a little hesitant, "It's just that it's all risky." ”

The pebble was still talking, but the river bank stepped forward and knocked on the pebble's head in some annoyance, and the pebble immediately became angry. The river bank still had a cold face, and said in a sullen voice:

"Don't force Xiao Chuan, Xiao Chuan has some ideas, but they are not necessarily good. I also have some ideas, and I'm afraid that my ideas won't come true, and Ogawa must be further than we think! ”

Pebbles couldn't believe the riverbank, made a grimace, and said:

"You're crying, what else do you think!"

Riverbank Says:

"Of course I have, I'll go to work tomorrow, and when I save some money, I'll go to a small shop and sell things from our village......"

When Pebble heard the first half of the sentence, he first felt a pang:

"Brother Kishiko...... You were fired? ”

The river bank pursed his lips and said:

"Yes."

Then Pebble retorted in a low voice:

"What if you get sick and spend all your money before you save up?"

He'an was stunned, he hadn't thought about getting sick yet, but the poor man who was seriously ill, he had seen a lot in the clinic and with the old apprentice.

Gu Chuan listened silently.

Pebbles are much calmer than the banks, he continues:

"What if you're too old to do it? My master said...... Get rich as soon as possible! When I'm old, I can't even enjoy it for a few years, and I have to leave it to my little ancestors! ”

Pebbles are also encountered today. It was his jeweler teacher who was asked for money today by his own daughter. The jeweler teacher gave him all the tuition fees that Pebble's father had given him. The jeweler said that his daughter could marry into the inner city and become a high-ranking citizen, but Pebble didn't know if it could be done, but he thought that this man had been busy all his life, and he must have been rich, but he couldn't enjoy it until he died.

The pebbles were still talking, and the riverbank was already there, motionless. He began to think about what Pebble said.

And Pebble turned his head, only to see that Gu Chuan's shining eyes were also looking at him in confusion. This is a rare expression of Pebble, but it makes Pebble a little worried:

"What's wrong...... Brother Chuan......"

He was even a little afraid to speak. Pebbles have been stared at by Gu Chuan since he was a child, and he always felt that he would be seen very clearly. He is different from Riverbank, who is willing to share any idea, and he is unwilling to share many ideas.

At that time, the lights flickered.

The group of young people who walked from the village to Sunset City sat in a circle around Gu Chuan.

I saw Gu Chuan shaken all over, and he woke up like a dream and muttered:

"It seems that this is indeed the truth that you should get rich as soon as possible."

After that, the young man laughed stupidly.

Gu Chuan suddenly realized that he thought he was still young and had time itself...... It's a lazy, hesitant idea.

Gu Chuan smiled with relief, but the other young people didn't know what he meant.

After a while, Pebble guessed:

"Brother Chuan, are you going to say what you think?"

From an early age, he knew that the most brilliant boy in his age had his own peculiar view of things. Originally, he thought that he could find similar people in the city, but when the time came, Gu Chuan would not be enough. As a result, the longer he lived in the city, the more he felt that those people's opinions were also ordinary and vulgar, and they were not as good as Gu Chuan.

Gu Chuan saw a warm longing and worship in the pebble's eyes.

It's not just pebbles that are talking.

At that time, the other three girls also had their own visions and said:

"Let's talk about it, Brother Chuan."

Gu Chuan turned his head and looked at the lamp in the lonely room.

People look forward to it because they believe they can embrace a new life.

So......

Is there anything I can do?

For some reason, Gu Chuan did have a terrible urge to try it out from the bottom of his heart, just like on the night of that funeral, he told his mother that he was going to collect all the treasures in the world.

"Whisper."

So, Gu Chuan stood up and moved the lamp to the center of the children of Rizhao Village. The lights were on, and the young people's eyes were blazing. He preached:

"I have a lot of ideas to get rich."
