Chapter 9 A glimpse of life

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 Tang Tian is a public account author, well, that is what is commonly known as a flexible employment person.

He runs a public account with more than 7,000 fans. He usually posts short articles about emotions and marriage, teaching people how to fall in love and how to identify whether their partner is cheating.

Although he himself has never been married or in love.

Fortunately, his articles are free of charge and he does not receive any commercial promotion, so readers who follow him will gain an unhealthy view of love at most from reading them.

But in Tang Tian's own words, love is inherently blind and irrational, and naturally there is no so-called healthy view of love.

To take a step back, even if there are, there are so many unhealthy things in this world, such as smoking, alcohol, parents who report games, etc. Not everyone is living well, so having one more official account for him is not a big deal.

You may wonder how a small public account with only 7,000 followers, and more than half of whom just clicked on it, completely forgot about it, and threw it in the corner to mold, is able to support Tang Tian.

.

The answer is simple, he has a good father.

Before Tang's father died, he left Tang Tian a subway apartment with three bedrooms and one living room and two small fronts facing the street to ensure that the only son would have a roof over his head in the future and would not starve to death.

Tang Tian's physical body was settled, so he naturally wanted to explore the other side of his spirit, so he embarked on the path of creation.

As a literary worker, Tang Tian has been strictly demanding himself and constantly improving.

In addition to pushing an article every Monday, Wednesday and Friday (because public accounts can easily lose followers if they are pushed too frequently), Tang Tian also goes to the library on Saturdays and Sundays to recharge his batteries.

Besides reading, Tang Tian also likes to watch people.

By observing a person's age, clothing and the books he is borrowing, you can determine that person's occupation or the goal he is working towards.

For example, on the table on the right side of Tang Tian, ​​there is a girl with glasses holding a copy of Li Yongle's Mathematics and writing fast. She looks like she is preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination.

Another example is the two high school students behind the girl with glasses, one boy and one girl. They have their homework spread out in front of them. However, their progress is slow and they are still stuck on that page for a long time.

The two people were very close to each other, and there would be some physical contact from time to time. Obviously, they came here to enjoy youthful love in the name of studying.

There is also an old man wearing reading glasses and a mask who is reading the "Ancient Chinese Dictionary". He occasionally coughs twice. He is most likely a retired Chinese teacher from some school.

The middle-aged man wearing a cheap shirt has a frown on his face. There is a "Citizen's Guide to Legal Documents and Litigation" in front of him, which indicates that he has encountered a very difficult matter recently and can only solve it through legal means.

The young woman in the floral short skirt, um, her legs were really white. Tang Tian couldn't help but look at her for two more seconds before turning his eyes to her hand. She came with her computer and was typing up her resume. She had nothing to say.

I'm looking for a job.

Tang Tian was immersed in the strange pleasure of having a glimpse of other people's lives, when he saw a man walking towards him holding seven or eight books.

The visitor was between the ages of twenty and thirty, slightly younger than Tang Tian. He was wearing a solid-color short-sleeved shirt from Uniqlo and a Converse sports coat to cope with the excessive air-conditioning in the library.

This dress looked like a graduate student from a nearby university, but Tang Tian quickly overturned this guess because the visitor's brows did not have the youthful look unique to students.

It seems that you are already at work. Are you planning to study here to prepare for exams for professional titles or related qualification certificates?

Tang Tian's eyes moved down and landed on the stack of books held by the man.

"Moses and Monotheism", "Essentials of Christianity", "Moral Law of Ancient Israel", "Comparative Study of Indian Brahmanic Philosophy and Buddhist Philosophy", "Celtic Mythology", "Illustrated Buddhist Book of Life and Death: Deciphering the Truth about the Cycle of Life",

"Fifteen Lectures on Taoist Culture".

Tang Tian took a breath of cold air. This person was just stacking buffs here. Faith is just like spiritual roots. Can it be cultivated more?

This also made Tang Tian instantly interested in the person in front of him.

Since he is already working, he should not be a researcher in a related field collecting information for writing a paper. What does this person do? Why does he borrow so many mythological and religious books? It cannot be...

Tang Tian couldn't help but feel a chill when he thought of a certain possibility. In order to maintain the harmony and stability of society, Tang Tian felt that it was necessary to conduct a key observation on this person.

It happened that there was still room at his table, so the man sat down directly opposite Tang Tian, ​​opened the top copy of Freud's "Moses and Monotheism" and started reading.

Tang Tian could see clearly that the man was really reading these theological works that seemed boring to others, and was not trying to be original and show off in front of others.

He also carried a black notebook with him. Sometimes he would write it down when he read a certain passage or thought of something from it.

It can be said that he is very serious.

But the more this happened, the more worried Tang Tian felt. He had been restless this morning and could no longer read "Why Shengxiao Mo" in his hand.

It wasn't until almost noon that Tang Tian found an opportunity for Li Yu to get up and go to the toilet.

Ignoring the surprised looks of the people around him, he reached out and grabbed the black notebook that Li Yu had pinned on the table, and opened the first page.

First, I took a look at the title above - How to Write a Creation Myth.

Tang Tian glanced at ten lines and quickly glanced downwards. As expected, the following content was all summarized around this theme, so he turned to the second part.

——Creation of doctrines and canons.

This part mainly talks about what to advocate, taboos in daily life, etc. Most of them look quite positive, especially the canonical part, which obviously refers to the form of the Ten Commandments of Moses, and ten of them are compiled.

It’s just that Article 10 looks a little strange.

Saturday is the god of rest and entertainment. You should work hard on the first five days. On the sixth and seventh days, if there is no extreme emergency, you need to put down the hoe, plow, sword and needlework in your hands, regardless of race, nobles or commoners.

, servants, maids, and travelers in foreign lands, all living beings are equal, they do not need to work, they can rest and feast as much as they like.

Those who are poor and have no food to eat can receive Holy Communion from the church, and those who are homeless can also go to the church to rest.

There are a few special professions such as doctors, night watchmen, and sailors, and they should make amends in time after breaking the rules.

These are the basic precepts of our Lord on Saturday, and kings and lords of all countries must not break them. Those who openly break the precepts should be punished by believers all over the world.

Tang Tian was still stunned when a voice suddenly sounded from behind him.

"Have you finished reading?"

He suddenly jumped up and dropped the notebook in his hand on the table.
