Speed ​​Eagle and Iron Eagle landed three times and transported more than ten tons of grain. With the grain in hand, they did not panic. Xintiandi began to operate at full speed.

Ding Zhaoding personally went to Hepingli to take charge of recruiting workers. Since most of the workshops, shops and markets in the city were destroyed, hundreds of thousands of civilians suddenly became homeless without jobs, housing, or food and clothing.

Ding Zhaoding easily recruited 500 young people. These people were basically young people with experience in mechanical processing or other handicraft industries. Under the leadership of Xintiandi employees, these people went to Qianyu and immediately invested in Xintiandi.

Temporary greenhouse construction work.

Fifty young women among them were led by Wu Shuhui to make "Pian porridge". "Pian porridge" is a popular food in Jiyun City. Apples are ground into powder and added with kudzu root, yam and other rhizome plants in a thin layer.

Slice it and make gruel. This is a food commonly eaten by poor people in Jiyun City. At this time, it became a life-saving food.

The porridge shop is located in Qianyu. Dozens of large pots are boiling at the same time. There is a long queue of civilians coming to receive food. This scene seems particularly desolate in this Chinese New Year.

Several major aristocratic families, as well as the Qingyun Sect, and the Jiyun City Chamber of Commerce and Industry also have porridge stations throughout Jiyun City. The largest one is the relief office near the city hall. In addition to giving porridge, the victims can also

With a good citizen certificate, each family can receive three kilograms of grain.

However, most people's houses have collapsed, and their belongings and food are buried among the rubble. Who would take this with them when they want to flee, so not many people come here to collect food.

As a representative of Xintiandi, Rose is negotiating with the city government. As Rose, who also has the status of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, the city government doesn't show much disdain to her. The distribution of benefits after the disaster involves too many interested parties, making the negotiations very difficult.

Ding Yi was planning the blueprint for the future factory, and Yuan Zhen walked into Ding Yi's office.

"Azhen, could you knock on the door first when you come in? You suddenly broke in and scared me." Ding Yi looked at Yuan Zhen dissatisfied.

"Xiao Yi, Sister Manli hasn't eaten all day. You are still writing and drawing here. Why don't you comfort her? Sister Manli was almost hit by a collapsed beam last night. I will tell you

Talk, do you hear me?" Yuan Zhen saw that Ding Yi was still drawing on the drawing, and he couldn't hold back his anger and shouted.

"Azhen, how many people out there are still eagerly looking forward to a bite of food? She doesn't want to eat. What can I do? It's not like you don't know what she is thinking about. How do you want me to comfort her?

"Now that so many people's homes have been destroyed and so many people's lives are in trouble, should we focus here?" Ding Yi sighed.

"Xiao Yi, I have always thought you were a smart person. In fact, I found that you are actually a big fool. Didn't you realize it? What do you do now? Just like the male protagonists in those fantasy discs, who are compassionate and compassionate.

Kindness, love and compassion. These are all lies. The reality is far more complicated than what is shown in the fantasy disc. It is a hundred times, a thousand times more complex! If the protagonist in the fantasy disc had lived in reality, he would have been killed long ago. How could you do this?

If you naively believe in the things in the phantom disk and imitate them, do you think you are great? Do you think you are the only one who is noble? You are stupid, you are poisoned by novels and phantom disks."

"Do you know where I went before I came to you? I went to the city's relief agency. Do you know how much the city's food reserves are? Four hundred thousand tons! This is the number I have seen with my own eyes. Only you

Only a fool believes that there is no food in Jiyun City and goes everywhere to buy food. This is a game of chess arranged by the city government and several big families in the city. Not to mention that there is a Qingyun Sect who is eyeing the food next to him. "

"You are pulling your teeth out of the tiger's mouth to fight for the interests of the city government and the aristocratic family. You are playing with fire! You think you are the smartest in the world, but in fact you are the biggest fool in the world! Everything you do is in vain.

You are just a pawn introduced by the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce to compete with the city government for power and profit. The blueprint you have designed with all your efforts is worthless. This is not a game you can play. You should return to reality and take a sober look at this.

The world." Yuan Zhen roared angrily.

Ding Yi calmly listened to Yuan Zhen's speech. To be honest, he did not expect Yuan Zhen to say such a thing.

Maybe what Yuan Zhen said was right. He was indeed deeply influenced by those fantasy disks and novels, and he was a bit nerdy. He also understood the virtues of the aristocratic families in this city. But even so, he did not feel that he had done anything wrong.

. He also believed that his parents and Xu Rongfa knew this fact, but he still carried out his plan without hesitation. Because he felt that when he was still able to help others, it was not just a way to help others.

Conscience, this should be a universal sentiment

pregnant.

He was very dissatisfied with Yuan Zhen's remarks.

"Then what should I do, stand by and watch? Many of these victims are our classmates and neighbors. We just watch them suffer from hunger. Yes, I believe that in the end, the city government and those wealthy families

They will take action in the end, and they will squeeze out the last copper from the hands of these victims. The innocent old and weak will even be driven out of Jiyun City by them and become the targets of another robbery by the villagers outside the city. And those strong civilians will

Forced to sign an unequal contract, they became the most miserable labor force in the city and gave up their last drop of blood and sweat just to feed their family. These are all facts and are stories that will definitely happen in the future. These are what you want

Did you see that?"

"I am a big fool. I am deliberately thinking about helping these people. I know what results I will face in the future. I am able to use the puppetry skills I have learned to help these people. I feel honored. This is what I feel about my existence.

Value! Do you want me to become like those cold cultivators who have no blood or tears?" Ding Yi argued unceremoniously.

"I didn't say not to let you help those people, Xiao B. You open a porridge shop and build some simple houses. These are enough. You don't need to get yourself into it. This is something only fools do. You can't

If you try to interfere with the interests of cultivators, you are playing with fire. Sooner or later you will be burned, and in the end you will be burned to death by those cultivators." Yuan Zhen roared.

"By the way, I forgot that you are also a cultivator. I'm sorry, cultivator. I have touched your interests. You want to burn me to death, right?" Ding Yi said sarcastically.

Yuan Zhen was furious, and for the first time he felt a strange feeling when he looked at the familiar face in front of him.

"That's not what I meant. I just reminded you not to overdo things. You are just a mortal. You are not that great. For you, for your family, and for Sister Manli, you can't be so selfish and drag them all into this."

Get inside this whirlpool!"

"I know that I am a mortal, and Master Cultivator is teaching me how to do things, right? Wow, I am so touched. Should I kneel down to express my gratitude? Master Cultivator, why don't you just burn me to death with a fire?

Forget it, because I won't give up, so what should I do?" Ding Yi said.

"Xiao Yi, don't say that again! I'm doing this for your own good, so don't say those nasty words anymore. I don't mean any harm, we are friends, I want to help you, I don't want to see my friend involved in this

Get into big trouble." Yuan Zhen was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. He didn't understand that Ding Yi insisted on meaninglessly insisting on something that was obviously simple.

Ding Yi was also very angry, and the emotions he had suppressed for many days were vented. He also knew that he said a lot of inappropriate things, but somehow those extreme words came out without passing through his brain.

In fact, Ding Yi really has some negative emotions towards Yuan Zhen. A long-term rebound of worry and fear, and an inexplicable jealousy towards his neurotic friend. He needs to vent these emotions.

Xu Manli just passed by and happened to hear the two people arguing. She didn't know why and walked in at the right time.

Seeing the two of them fighting like a cockfight, he felt a little strange, and was about to persuade them. Ding Yi said: "Don't pretend to say that it's for my own good. Are you worried about her?"

"Sister Manli, aren't you looking for a cultivator to be your husband? Haven't you noticed the people far away and right in front of you?"

Xu Manli still didn't know what happened, let alone what Ding Yi meant by what she said.

Ding Yi just seemed to say that Yuan Zhen is a cultivator. How is this possible? Could this little boy who follows him every day be a cultivator? Are you kidding? Yuan Zhen didn't even join the school training team.

Guy. But she also knew that Ding Yi rarely told lies. He said that Yuan Zhen was a cultivator. This was really unbelievable.

"Why are you still waiting there? Hurry up and show off your magical ability to retrieve objects from the air, and show it to your sweetheart. You two are in love with each other. It's a match made in heaven. It's really a perfect match..." Ding Yi said angrily, but

Yuan Zhen punched him in the face, interrupting his words.

Ding Yi did not fight back, but looked at Yuan Zhen coldly. Yuan Zhen was furious and punched him several times.

Xu Manli stared blankly at Yuan Zhen beating Ding Yi, her mind went blank, and finally she screamed and ran out.

"Sister Manli..." Yuan Zhen stopped moving and quickly chased after her.

The left side of Ding Yi's face was swollen. Yuan Zhen's fists were really strong. He spit out bloody spit and sat down on the chair slumped.

Xu Manli's head was dizzy, and she was very confused. The story that just happened made her

Haven't had time to digest it yet.

Yuan Zhen followed her step by step, not far or near.

There were broken bricks and tiles everywhere, and broken walls. Xu Manli ran to an abandoned eaves and stopped. Yuan Zhen also stopped.

"Why have you been following me? I won't be confused." Xu Manli said angrily.

"Sister Manli, I'm afraid you are in danger." Yuan Zhen said honestly.

"Xiao Yi said that you are a cultivator, is he telling the truth?" Xu Manli asked.

Yuan Zhen did not answer. A half-buried and half-exposed chair rose from the rubble and floated in front of Xu Manli.

Xu Manli's eyes widened as she looked at the scene in front of her. Everything Ding Yi said was true.

Xu Manli did not sit down on the chair, she walked straight towards Yuan Zhen.

Yuan Zhen's heart was beating wildly, and his palms were sweating. He did not dare to look at the figure that was gradually approaching.

Walking in front of Yuan Zhen, Xu Manli looked at the boy who was a head shorter than her, and hit Yuan Zhen with a thud and a bang, making her body dwarfed.

"When did you awaken? Why didn't I know what the hell you two were doing?" Xu Manli showed no embarrassment in facing other cultivators.

Seeing that Xu Manli didn't mean to blame him, Yuan Zhen felt calm.

"In the past few days, on the day I was in Mu Yuan, I woke up inexplicably." Yuan Zhen explained.

"Awakened out of nowhere? Do you know how many people have been lingering outside the door of awakening." Xu Manli said coquettishly, as if she remembered something, Xu Manli's voice couldn't help but slow down.

"I am a cultivator now, and I can protect Sister Manli." Yuan Zhen emphasized again.

Xu Manli touched Yuan Zhen's head lovingly.

"Ah Zhen is an extraordinary being now. From now on, Xiao Yike and I will be completely dependent on you for protection."

The enthusiasm in Yuan Zhen's eyes faded, and he looked at the beauty in front of him in confusion.

"Sister Xiaoli, aren't you looking for a cultivator to be your man? Xiaoyi is obviously just a mortal..." he said excitedly.

Xu Manli stroked Yuan Zhen's hair and looked into the distance with a mist in her eyes.

"Sister is actually just an ordinary girl who fantasizes about some illusory things. Looking for a husband who is a cultivator is indeed my idea. In order to achieve this, I cried, made trouble, and even played tricks.

It was a little trick, but those ignorant and youthful years have passed, I have woken up, and it was just a beautiful dream after all.

Mortals are still mortals after all. No matter how hard I try, I can't change my mortal nature. I once thought about integrating into the life of a cultivator, I thought about living my life with humiliation, but when I really came into contact with a cultivator, I really got involved.

Only then did I realize that the circle of cultivators is actually a two-dimensional world. Not to mention integrating into their circle, even communicating with them is a problem."

"Birds of a feather flock together, and people flock together. After all, we are not in the same boat! When I understood this truth, I finally let go of my obsession. It turns out that I can live such an easy life. Ah Zhen, sister knows what you are thinking,

As I said just now, we are not the same person. Thank you for liking my sister. But my sister already has someone she likes in her heart. Yes, I like Xiao Yi. Although he is a bit domineering and unreasonable, he is the one I see.

He is the most handsome and smartest boy in my life. He has already taken over my heart and I can no longer tolerate anyone else."

"But he is not a cultivator, I am. Every time I see him ignoring you, sister, I get very angry. Sister, you are also a proud person, but you blindly accommodate him every time. I...

"Yuan Zhen said anxiously.

"You two are good friends. You have always been good at both literary and military work. You complement each other well. I don't know why you are so unhappy. But Ah Zhen, Xiao Yi has shouldered too many responsibilities. He is always at odds with fate.

He is struggling hard. You are his good friend. I hope you can help him more. When he has a temper, he only dares to vent his anger on us. He is very tired, but he dare not stop because there are enemies everywhere.

, he has never complained to me, he has always been alone. In fact, I know a lot of things, but I just didn’t tell him, for fear of causing him more trouble."

"Azhen, Xiao Yi is really lonely. He only has one friend like you since childhood. I hope you can put aside your grudge and understand him. Looking at him like that, I actually feel very uncomfortable."
