Chapter Ninety-Five: Li Xiang's Flower
Mingshu walked out of the mouth of the "giant python", stepped on the cliff, and saw the eldest brother who was smiling at him. She stepped forward and grabbed her brother's arm, and said with a smile: "Is my brother waiting for me here?"
Yang Mingtai pinched her nose with his other hand: "You ran over excitedly all the way, it's hard not to notice." You've been running to me three times in the past month, and mom has no opinion?"
"Mom always says I'm a wild girl, I can't live up to this name. This was a bit of a scoundrel, so Mingshu stuck out the tip of her tongue again after speaking.
"You're here to find the ninth brother again?"
Mingshu didn't answer positively, but found a reason for herself to come three times a month, "Among the brothers and sisters, you and the ninth brother are the closest to me, and besides, most of the others are not in Kunwu, where do I not run to you?"
Yang Mingtai looked at her with a smile, but didn't say anything more on this topic, "The ninth brother is still meditating, but he will come out in a while, I promised to take him to see my world today." ”
"I'm going too, you haven't shown me yet. Mingshu was coquettish to her brother.
"You're here to go along. Yang Mingtai put his arm around his sister's shoulders and said, "Let's go, let's go to my room and sit down first." It happens that the confusion of the eighth brother is also going to tell you. ”
Mingshu looked at his brother with some surprise, "What confuses him?"
"Go in and say. The two came to Mingtai's study and studio, and Yang Mingtai asked his sister to sit down and dragged a chair by himself.
Mingshu's eyes were sharp, and she saw two books on the desk - "Psychological Research on Adolescence" and "Be a Perfect Adolescent Girl". "Brother, how did you study this? I'm an adult. ”
"Of course not because of you. ”
"Could it be that the eighth brother is still in the rebellious period?"
"Nonsense, with your eighth brother's emotional intelligence, no matter how rebellious you are, you can't be rebellious. Have you forgotten that girl who still has tens of thousands of years of puberty?"
Mingshu immediately realized that her brother was talking about Yuwan, and she stuck out her tongue.
Yang Mingtai got back to the topic: "The eighth brother and I had a phone call a few days ago, and he has been struggling with whether such charity is meaningful, which is also a question I have been thinking about. There is a saying in my hometown that it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. And the history of Jiuqiu has always been the history of teaching people to fish. For thousands of years, we soul masters have always regarded ourselves as saints, proud of helping ordinary people for free, but we are also erasing their creativity and the good side of human nature. In the past, it was okay, there was no energy limit, life was not worried, and people could still be harmonious and friendly with each other. After the energy rationing system, the inferior nature of some people was exposed, the guards were lazy, the red people were greedy, the martial artists were lewd, the black and white people were numb, the Meng Ying people were irritable, the Shenmin people were arrogant, and the uncles were constantly complaining. If the skills of labor are not granted, they are only blindly given, which can only help greed, laziness, and gluttony, and the inferiority will be released indefinitely. From this point of view, the livelihood project of our Yang family and the charity trip initiated by Yu Wan are meaningless in Jiuqiu, and it can even be said that they are a dose of poison. ”
Mingshu's expression also became serious and dignified, she also discussed this issue with the ninth brother, but it was not in-depth, and finally ended in helplessness. "Why don't you let the eighth brother come back?"
"No, the charity tour is still going on. ”
"Why?"
"As soon as this was initiated by Yu Wan, it was suddenly interrupted, the little girl must not be able to figure it out, and there will be gaps and estrangements with our Yang family. Second, I have confidence in the eighth brother, I hope to help me see what Jiuqiu's illness has become through his eyes, and I also hope that through his efforts, I can help me find a pair of medicines. ”
Mingshu blinked, a little puzzled.
Mingtai smiled at his sister: "I know that you had some prejudices about the eighth brother before, and you were a little dismissive of him. Mingshu hurriedly waved his hand, indicating that the prejudice had been eliminated, and Yang Mingtai smiled again, "Not only you, but I also misjudged the eighth brother, at first I thought he was just a kind, out-of-trite, emotionally intelligent, and talented cook. But whether it is the livelihood project or this charity trip, his performance surprised me. You know that he taught the villagers to dance and built the canteen outside the village, but you don't know what he did in the guard. ”
Mingshu changed her perception of He Yafei precisely because of what he did in the livelihood project, and when her brother raised this question, she became more and more curious about this eighth brother.
"How much do you know about the people who participated in the guard?"
"I've heard it's lazy. ”
"Yes, in Brother Bofeng's words, they are lazy people who don't even want to move. But the eighth brother let them move. Mingshu motioned to his brother to continue with his eyes, and Yang Mingtai said, "After leaving Linhu Village, the eighth brother has been thinking about it. When unearned gains become a habit, it will be very difficult to change, and he cannot fundamentally remove the inertia of the Senwei people, he can only start with the details. In each village, he was not in a hurry to complete the task, but patiently researched the tastes of the villagers, and repeated experiments until he made a dish that drove the local villagers crazy. He would then make various demands, such as clearing the garbage dump at the entrance of the village, as the tree god loved to be clean, and reinforcing the village houses that were about to collapse, because the collapse of the houses could cause casualties, which the good tree god did not want to see. The tree was planted two or three miles away from the village, and the tree bore fruit twice a day, and each time it produced five fewer fruits than the number of villagers, so as not to be the last five, a group of lazy people began to race, can you imagine that scene?"
Mingshu tilted her head and thought for a while: "If I were a guard, I might just stay under the tree with the bed quilt and not leave." ”
"The guards did just that, but the next day, there was nothing in the trees. When I went back to the village, the fruit grew again. ”
"Is there anyone you don't want to go?"
"Naturally, there is, but the eighth brother let Big Foot put a 'stink bomb', and everyone was forced to run. ”
"A mixture of stinky tofu and stulu fruit?" Mingshu burst out laughing: "Eighth brother is a little clever. But in Mingshu's view, the wisdom of the eighth brother has never been the same as that of the ninth brother.
"Maybe you will think that the pattern of the eighth brother is too small. The pattern is not big, and it matches the position he is in. I may not be better off than he is when I change places with him. I remember that when he first arrived in Jiuqiu, he didn't want to think about anything, he thought he was dreaming. During the people's livelihood project, Brother Bofeng was in charge at first, and it was only when I lifted the ban on him in the second half that he began to use his brains. And now, Brother Bofeng is willing to be a guard. In Kunwu, he let the villagers know that good things need to be guarded by themselves, and in the guard, he lets people know that they must fight for it if they want to get it. I don't know if he can let those people break free from their numbness when he reaches the black and white hills. Don't underestimate the eighth brother, in my opinion, his little wisdom is pregnant with great wisdom. ”
"Do you want the eighth brother to change the human nature of the hills?"
"That's not true, a person's power is always limited, and if he can make those people make some changes in the subtleties, I'm very satisfied. What I needed was his observations and advice to me. ”
"You should let me and my ninth brother go and see it too. ”
"You, you just can't stay, you always want to run outside, and help your parents when you have time, the situation we face is much more dangerous than we imagined. ”
Mingshu put away her playful expression, and she promised her brother that she would work hard when she went back this time.
"As for the ninth brother, there is not much time left for him. The number of mistakes made by Yu Wan is increasing, just a few days ago, your fourth brother found five corpses in Shipen Mountain, four people and one dog. One of them was pockmarked with a pockmarked face. ”
Mingshu was a little speechless in surprise: "This ...... How is this possible, they were sent to Sifang Mountain. ”
Yang Mingtai's expression was a little gloomy: "Shipen Mountain is two hundred kilometers away from Sifang Mountain, it should be that there was a deviation in the teleportation, causing them to fall from mid-air halfway. The fourth brother checked their injuries, and none of the bones on the pockmarked and dog's bodies were intact, and it was estimated that they died on the spot, and the other three had broken leg bones, and there were large blackened blood stains under their bodies, and they died of excessive blood loss. In the future, we may have to think about how to deal with thieves, such as building a prison. ”
"What else?" Mingshu heard from her brother's words that Yu Wan had made more than one mistake recently.
"When someone was planting a seed, the soles of his feet were pierced by a wooden thorn that suddenly came out of the soil. One thing I need to explain to you is that in the Shenmin Hill, when the distractions are too busy, the Yuwan body will also participate in the creation. ”
Mingshu covered her mouth lightly, her eyes showing disbelief: "You mean that this accident is caused by the body?" and not distraction. ”
Yang Mingtai said very firmly: "What is out of control can only be the ontology." ”
Mingshu's face turned dull, with a little loss: "Brother, don't worry, I will try to come here as little as possible in the future, so as not to distract the ninth brother." ”
Yang Mingtai sighed lightly, stood up and reached out to rub his sister's head, and said, "Let's go, the ninth brother seems to be coming out." ”
As soon as the brother and sister walked to Li Xiang's house, the door opened, and Li Xiang seemed to be thinner again, and the long meditation made him a little tired. Mingshu's face returned to her smile, she ran to Li Xiang in a few steps, grabbed his hand and asked, "Ninth brother, how is the meditation place?" Sister wants to check your homework. A bouquet of flowers, tulips, carnations, and lilies appeared in Mingshu's sea of consciousness, dotted with stars. Yang Mingtai also entered Mingshu's sea of consciousness, and when he saw the bouquet of flowers, a shallow smile was drawn on the corner of his mouth, and he quickly retreated.
"What a beautiful flower, oh my God, you really did it, you're amazing. ”
Li Xiang said: "Sister, there is more, look at the hand." Mingshu took Li Xiang's hand, and a large bouquet of flowers appeared, exactly the same as the bouquet in the sea of consciousness, the petals were fresh and delicate. "Sister, give it to you. Mingshu gently hugged Li Xiang and said thank you in his ear.
Yang Mingtai felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart, this feeling came very suddenly, and he couldn't even figure out the reason for this feeling. I just talked to my sister about the surprise given by the eighth brother, and then the ninth brother handed in a perfect answer sheet, whether it is the simulation of the medium frequency consciousness wave or the application of the ultra-low frequency consciousness wave, it has exceeded his expectations too much. He walked over and gently put his arms around his younger siblings' shoulders, "Let's go, the world is waiting for us." ”
