Mystery Makes Me Strong

a.

Northwest Dingxi City, Yuan's Manor.

Two elderly men with elongated crowns and long sleeves sat cross-legged in the hall, with a cup of hot tea in front of them.

It's just that one of them is dressed in Tang Dynasty and the other is in Ming Dynasty costume.

"Family, with all due respect, you guys have gone too far." The old man in Ming Dynasty costume held the tea with a harsh tone.

"Brother Su, I'm also in a dilemma. The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds. Everyone has their own opinions, so I can only go with the flow." Yuan Shouyi shook his head.

"Everyone can see clearly the calculations of those of you. It's not ancient times, and you can still hide them. Big data, cameras, prophecy, communication monitoring... can easily detect your calculations. Knowing so , why do you still do those things that go against the times and are unwise?" the old man surnamed Su persuaded earnestly.

"Well, laymen, they all think that they want to go back to the past in order to regain the privilege of being high above. But you should know that most of the children are pure and kind, and they don't want to do evil, just fear. They fear the current trend Under the concept, I will be treated as a sacrifice, and will be coerced by the people to suppress the next catastrophe." Yuan Shouyi said lightly.

The old man surnamed Su was silent for a while, and then said firmly: "The conditions are still limited, and sacrifices are inevitable. Someone has to fight. Since we enjoy so many benefits, if there is a next catastrophe, it is our duty to stand in the front."

"Hmph, hum, what you said is really righteous. I hope that by that time, brother Su will be able to match his words with his deeds." Yuan Shouyi was a little disdainful. He also picked up a cup of tea and drank it with his head raised.

"If I dare to say that, I will naturally do the same." The old man surnamed Su said seriously.

Yuan Shouyi said coldly: "Can you do this? Will others do it with you? I'll just ask three words, why?"

"Just relying on the hall under your feet, relying on the more than 100,000 mu of manor outside you, and allowing you to occupy a country by yourself, isn't that enough?" the old man surnamed Su asked.

"Hmph, not enough. We obtained these things by our ability. Can this be considered a gift from others? If it is a daily disaster or a mysterious disaster that is controllable, we are obliged to do so. We can even be merciful and smile at others. But if we want to risk our lives to save those untouchables who are born again in the spring breeze, with more than one hundred people and one hundred years of overflow, I will say two words, it is not worth it!"

When Yuan Shouyi said this, he stretched out a finger and shook it.

"Is this what most of you think now? It seems that the infiltration of those people in the west is very powerful. Sure enough, when the two countries fight, the best is to attack the heart." The old man surnamed Su said with a long sigh.

Yuan Shouyi shook his head and said: "No, it's just inheriting the tradition. Isn't it the same for the scholar-bureaucrats who talked about benevolence and righteousness in ancient times? At least we still know how to do practical things and see the overall situation, instead of talking about the morality of the world like them , My heart is all about the business at hand.”

"You keep saying that ordinary people are untouchables... Have you forgotten the old herdsman who grazed by the Tianshan River a hundred years ago?" The old man surnamed Su narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully.

Yuan Shouyi's face darkened immediately, as if he was caught in a certain past event.

"Son, don't move around. There is quicksand below, and the faster it moves, the faster it sinks. I'm here to save you." An anxious and honest old man's voice echoed in his ears again.

Not long after, there was another boy's voice full of tears: "Uncle, uncle, wake up..."

Yuan Shouyi did not speak for a long time.

The old man surnamed Su did not continue to reprimand him.

"No, I have already paid back the life owed to that benefactor. I made his grandson a heterogeneous person and made his son rich. And his great-grandson happened to be part of the plan." Yuan Shouyi deeply Take a breath.

The old man surnamed Su shook his head and said: "No, you know, you will never pay it back. Because that hero is just a microcosm, and civilians may be weeds, but golden apple trees can still grow in the weeds. Most of them are weeds, and those who have a heart like gold are also slandered as pariahs. Since his life is worth it, our sacrifice is also worth it."

Yuan Shouyi rubbed his chest when he heard this, and said for a long time: "Forget it, I won't argue with you. I will protect the person who should be protected, and I will not cross the bottom line. But what you want me to do, I will It can’t be done. Don’t think that I have a high position, and I can change their thinking with a single order. On the contrary, I have to take care of those people in order to maintain my current position.”

The old man surnamed Su stood up, walked to the entrance of the main hall, and said: "Sacrifice is not the purpose, it is for the sake of less sacrifice or even no sacrifice in the future. That's why we developed the puppet technique, drones, and unmanned ships. In the future, suppressing cataclysms may not require the blood sacrifices that you fear."

"Oh, well said, so every year I will donate to these projects of yours, and the number of donations is either ranked in the top ten or top five." Yuan Shouyi suddenly smiled.

"Hmph, keep your money and keep it. It's better than letting your great-grandchildren spoil it. Race cars and horses... Playing with things and losing one's mind, it's all boring and money-wasting things." The old man surnamed Su disdainfully said.

Yuan Shouyi shook his head and said: "Young people have young people's ideas, not to mention that those things can also stimulate the economy and increase productivity. As long as the scale of productivity is large enough, once the wartime economy opens, money is no longer money. How much material do you want? That's it."

"Forget about racing, it can also improve the level of engine research and development; what's the use of horse racing? Horses have been eliminated for many years, purely for showing off." The old man surnamed Su picked and picked.

The two of them changed from the high-ranking big shots just now to down-to-earth old men.

Yuan Shouyi thought for a while, and then said deeply: "That's true, then I will add a family law later: All entertainment activities that cannot promote the development of productivity are strictly prohibited. Those who violate the law will deduct the year's annuity and send it to Zhong Lei in the meeting." Teach me a lesson."

"It's more or less the same. Take care of yourself, others are not as easy to talk to as I am." The old man surnamed Su flicked his long sleeves and left the hall.

"Others are not as easy to talk to as I am." Yuan Shouyi repeated, shaking his head with a smile, and walked into the apse.

…………

Wenren was promoted to his home.

After dealing with the matter of Dongshui No. 1 Middle School, Wen Rensheng got a few more days off.

The last time I helped solve the matter of Mr. Zhao's wife's natal relatives, I had already saved a few days off, so let's add it up, and it will be enough for two weeks.

Of course, this even counts weekends.

He knew that the Haiyan incident last time would not be easily resolved, but he didn't need to worry about the follow-up task, so someone would naturally handle it.

He just needs to show up at the right time and harvest what he needs.

After thinking for a while, he found Wen Rende who was reading in the courtyard: "It's already December today, and there are less than two months left before the deadline given by Master Ding. How is your study progress now?"

"The book has three parts, life and death, prophecy, and soul. I have read the last soul chapter. I can't chew it now, mainly because this thing is too mysterious. Unlike the first two chapters, I still have some experience." Wen Rende sighed.

Wen Rensheng nodded, as if treating a student: "Okay, then, if I have any other cases, you go with me. My spirit summoning technique has already been perfected, and it should be beneficial for you to observe more. "

Hearing this, Wu Shanshan, who was swimming with Zhao Han and Wang Wenwen, turned her head and looked over.

"If I'm not wrong, it took you only two months to learn that skill, right? How dare you say that you've mastered it?" She half-believingly asked.

If it was other skills, she would not say this, after all, everyone has their own cards.

But she felt that she still had some say in matters related to summoning spirits, after all, it was a gift from that person.

Wen Rensheng heard the words, and said with a serious face: "Actually, strictly speaking, it can't be said that it is perfect."

"That's not too bad. You've only been studying for a few months, so it's good to get a glimpse of the way." Wu Shanshan said in relief.

At this time, Zhao Han, who was dragging Wang Wenwen as a free weight, was slightly taken aback, and his eyes lit up.

She rolled her eyes a few times, and then said: "Sister Shanshan, didn't you have the most confidence in the teacher's ability before, why don't you believe what the teacher said now? I think the teacher was still modest just now, and the real level should be higher."

"Very good, Mr. Wang's training for you is really effective, and you can see through it." Wen Rensheng turned his head to Zhao Han in the water, and said very gratified, "Actually, my spirit summoning technique has already reached its peak. Master's level."

Wu Shanshan was taken aback for a moment, she didn't doubt what Wen Rensheng said now, but swam over and knocked Zhao Han on the head.

"As long as you can!"

"I beat someone when I said something wrong... don't come like this."

The two quickly squabbled together.
