Chapter 245 The monster who saves people is also a monster
After the Fan Zhongju incident, Bai Suzhen, a beautiful snake, hid at home for several days without going out.
To sum it up in a sentence from Spongebob's little friend, Patrick Star, my glass heart has been shattered all over the place and I can't pick it up anymore.
Bai Suzhen stayed at home, no longer attracting bees and butterflies, and Wu Ming was also happy to be at ease.
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.
Wu Ming went to Jinshan Temple several times, but did not hear any news about Fahai. Instead, Xu Xian ate white and fat food. It seemed that the food at Jinshan Temple was not bad.
It's mid-May, and there's a lot of wind and rain in the south of the Yangtze River.
Wu Ming was sitting in the teahouse, watching the Bai Mansion from a distance. The heavy rain could not cover up his uneasiness about Bai Suzhen.
"It has been raining heavily for three days and four nights, and it has no intention of stopping. If it continues like this, there is no hope for this year's crops."
"God is not good, what can the common people do? Just wait for the imperial court to provide relief!"
"You can't say that. I heard that some villages near the river bank have been flooded. If the heavy rain doesn't stop, there may be a disaster!"
In the teahouse, there was no storyteller present today because the storyteller ran back to the countryside.
A few idle people with nothing to do gathered in the teahouse and talked quietly, with a hint of sadness unavoidable in their words.
"The river bank has burst, be prepared for flood control, the flood is coming!"
"The Hangzhou magistrate has issued an order for everyone to evacuate to the north and take good care of the elderly, weak, women and children."
There were fast horses running through the streets, and several men dressed as police officers were riding on their horses and shouting together, walking through the streets and alleys to issue flood warnings.
Everyone who was chatting in the tea house dispersed in an instant and went back to their homes to escape for their lives.
Wu Ming did not leave. He sat near the window, admiring the pouring rain outside, as if he was not paying attention to everything.
"Rumble..."
Half an hour later, accompanied by roaring sounds, floodwaters began to flood the streets.
Countless people were like ants on a hot pot, dragging their families and families to move to the north of the city despite the heavy rain.
Pushing, shouting, arguing...
Wu Ming leaned against the window and looked numbly at the outside world.
Under his gaze, a man snatched an old man's mule in order to escape.
The old man hugged his granddaughter and sat on the ground crying. No one came to help him.
A young man driving a carriage kindly saved a family of five.
After the family of five got on the carriage, instead of being grateful, they pushed the boy down, just to reduce the weight of one person and make the carriage go faster.
Wu Ming watched quietly, watching the old man's panic and the young man's dumbfounded state.
Human nature is so ugly at this moment, and the few bright spots that occasionally shine are gone like meteors, and selfishness is vividly reflected.
"Hey!" Wu Ming's eyes flashed and he found that the closed door of Bai Mansion had been opened in the heavy rain.
Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing walked out with solemn faces, holding umbrellas and stepping on the water.
"Xiao Qing, follow me to control the water!"
Bai Suzhen stayed at home for a month and looked somewhat thin, with her pointed chin appearing.
However, this opening is still so majestic, like a white lotus blooming in the mortal world.
Under Wu Ming's observation, Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing jumped into the sky and headed straight to the nine heavens.
The two of them sat in the clouds, holding hands and chanting incantations, hoping to stop the flood below.
"Rumble..."
The flood was surging, and even if Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing tried their best, they could not stop the breached river bank.
In desperation, Bai Suzhen gave a soft drink and revealed the true form of the white snake, writhing in the clouds like a dragon.
The dragon follows the clouds, the tiger follows the wind.
Bai Suzhen is a thousand-year-old snake spirit. Although she has not transformed into a dragon, she has studied the movement of clouds and rain.
One green and one white, two giant snakes rolled in the clouds. Under their control, the dark clouds and heavy rain slowly dispersed, allowing a ray of sunshine to shine down.
"Bai Suzhen, Bai Suzhen, natural disasters are inevitable for all mortals. If you show your true body to stir up the wind and rain, I'm afraid it will be a disaster rather than a blessing for you!" Looking at the shadow of the snake tumbling in the sky, Wu Ming, a cold-eyed bystander, said instead
Sigh softly.
Wu Ming didn't take action, firstly, because people in the world are selfish and not worth saving. Secondly, because of natural and man-made disasters, there really is no difference between saving and not saving.
Just like in the real world, there will be no riots or natural disasters on any day.
If he is really like those meddling heroes in the comics, I am afraid that the real person and his clones will not be able to save those poor people without resting 24 hours a day. He will even be regarded as an alien and be wanted and hunted by the whole world.
Instead of being treated like a hero.
A great man once said that the people do not need heroes, especially living heroes.
Wu Ming's eyes flickered and he looked up at the sky.
Bai Suzhen's intentions are good, but he does not think that Bai Suzhen will be treated like a hero, but will be in big trouble.
"Look, the rain has stopped and the sun has come out."
"Oh my god, what is that thing in the sky? It's such a big snake!"
"It's a snake demon. The flood this time must be caused by a snake demon. My poor child, he was swept away by the flood. These two snake demons who deserve to be killed, you must die a good death!"
Just as Wu Ming thought, the people were more frightened than surprised when they saw the two snakes rolling in the clouds.
Not to mention being grateful, even Bai Suzhen and Bai Suzhen were blamed for the flood. This is the best way for three people to become a tiger.
"Sister, what are the people below shouting? They look so excited!" Among the clouds, the green snake poked its head out of the clouds and asked the white snake who was also confused.
White Snake himself didn't hear clearly. The huge snake was rolling in the clouds and thought: "They should be cheering for us. We have saved these people. They must be very happy and are cheering for us!"
"Sister, I'll go say hello to them. You can play up there by yourself."
"Don't go, you will scare them..."
Xiaoqing was a bit playful and had a lively and active personality. He didn't care about White Snake's obstruction and rushed down into the clouds.
A hundred-foot-long green snake flew out of the clouds and reached the ground in the blink of an eye.
On the ground, the flood water has not completely dissipated, almost reaching the level of the chest.
Xiaoqing swung his tail, surfing the water like a surfer, rushing through the street, mouthing: "Hello everyone, my name is Xiaoqing, don't thank me too much!"
"Oh my god, the monster, the monster has spoken!"
"Help, run quickly, the monster is out!"
"Mom, I want mom, woo woo woo..."
When the people soaking in the water saw Xiaoqing coming down, they would avoid it even more than if they encountered a flood.
Xiaoqing looked at these people blankly, with confusion in his huge snake eyes, and he made the image of the ferocious giant snake look a little cute.
"I saved you, why are you still so afraid of me?" Xiao Qing was very confused and couldn't help but look at the little boy sitting in the barrel and drifting with the tide.
The little boy was so frightened that he cried loudly. Xiaoqing's body was a hundred feet long, which converted into three hundred or four hundred meters.
The big eyes on the snake's head looked like red lanterns. Being stared at like this, the little boy was so scared that he wet his pants.
"Get away, monster, get away!"
Rabbits will bite when they are anxious. The little boy sat in the barrel, grabbed a piece of driftwood, and threw it towards Xiao Qing while crying.
The driftwood hit him on the head. To Xiao Qing, such an attack was not even a scratch.
But just such a blow broke Xiaoqing's glass heart and hit the softest place in her heart.
"Monster, am I a monster?" Xiaoqing floated on the water stupidly, her whole body stunned.
On the day she left the Purple Bamboo Forest, her sister told her personally that after leaving the Purple Bamboo Forest and becoming human, the two of them would become human beings.
But now, the little boy in front of her was still calling her a monster and looking at her with such disgust.
"Xiao Qing, what's wrong with you?" The white snake fell from the sky and landed next to Xiao Qing,
Green Snake's eyes were full of grievances, just like a little girl who went home to find her mother after being bullied by a boy. She sobbed: "Sister, it turns out that I am still a monster. I am not a human at all! They don't like me at all.
Instead of cheering for us, you hit me...wuwuwu."
"Xiaoqing!"
Within a month, the glass hearts of the two beautiful snakes were shattered by the cruel reality.
The white snake wrapped around the green snake, just like coaxing a child, and comforted: "Xiaoqing, stop thinking about it, you have done a good job."
"Sister, I want to go home, I want to go back to Zizhulin!" Xiaoqing felt sour in her heart, and tears burst out from her eyes, which made White Snake feel heartbroken.
The white snake rubbed the green snake's head. The two big snakes were filled with warmth and whispered: "Xiaoqing, look at yourself. When you were in the purple bamboo forest, you wouldn't cry. Crying means you have feelings.
, you are no longer a cold-blooded snake, this is something Zizhulin cannot give you."
"Sister, is it okay to be a human being?" Green Snake shook his head and shook off the tears on his face.
The tears melted into the flood water, making a clear tinkling sound, and Xiaoqing was stunned for a moment.
Seeing the stunned look on Xiaoqing's face, Bai She's eyes were filled with disappointment.
Talent is the spirit of all things. The world of monsters today is bleak, and there is no future for being a monster.
Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing do not have the blood of dragons themselves, so the possibility of transforming into a dragon is very slim. If they cannot shed their demon bodies and become adults, they will not be able to achieve enlightenment even if they practice for ten thousand years.
At that time, the best outcome is to be a mount for a real person, or to become a spiritual beast guarding the mountain. If you don't do well, and you are caught practicing the Great Pill, it will only be regarded as a disaster. Who can let this side do it?
Humanity flourishes in the world.
"Xiaoqing, since we left the Purple Bamboo Forest, I know that we can never go back. This world is too unfair to demons. If we don't enter the world to seek a chance of survival, we will wait until the day when the wind, fire and thunder disaster comes.
That’s when our body dies and our Tao disappears. My dear sister, we have practiced for so many years in order to achieve the right goal. Now the solution is right in front of us, there is no way out for us!"
Bai Suzhen looked miserable, and the green snake lowered its head.
After a long time, Green Snake glanced at the receding flood water, her tone became less naughty, and she sighed: "Sister, I want to go home, to the home of the two of us, and eat the delicious food you cooked."
"Okay, sister will take you home and make hot pot for you..."
Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing hugged each other and disappeared from Wu Ming's sight.
Wu Ming tapped the table with his fingers, but he was not as optimistic as the two beautiful snakes. Instead, he sighed: "It's so naive to make such a big fuss and still have the heart to eat hot pot.
We know that this world is a world where humanity thrives, but you think that the imperial court is just doing nothing? Let me think about what to say in the memorial sent to the Hangzhou magistrate tomorrow. A monster appears in Hangzhou and causes floods to flood the city. How about this?
The blame is put on the monsters, and the blame for ineffective flood control is gone. It’s really a win-win situation.” (To be continued.)
