A few days after the two unscrupulous elixir sellers left the city, the bandits suddenly intensified the blockade and cut off transportation in the entire area. As a result, the city completely lost its food security and residents faced food shortages. Faced with this situation,
The remaining people in the city were still sane at first and distributed food in an orderly manner under the command of their elders. However, soon, as rice, noodles and other supplies became less and less able to meet everyone's needs, people's mentality changed and chaos began.
.
I won’t go into the specific chaos, but in short there is no order. Especially in the later period, the larger families began to bully others, robbed small households, and beat those who dared to resist. In order to establish their authority, some large and ferocious families even held
They kill people violently to frighten other people; small families don't particularly follow the rules. They can't beat big families, but they are definitely better than single families. They just have to deal with single families; if there are many children in single families, they bully their children.
Those who have few children will rob orphans and widowed mothers, while orphans and widowed mothers will go to the widowed and lonely old people...
The original struggle between the strong and the weak was staged in the city. Many people participated in the murder, but there were still many people who would rather go hungry than do bad things. However, they did not place their hopes on the illusory elixir, but were unwilling to give up their bottom line.
.Many people in this city have been bullied many years ago and know what it feels like to be bullied. They know the anger and sadness better than anyone else, so even death cannot force them to do evil. Of course, some people are inspired by today's crazy scene.
With the painful memory of yesterday, he became crazy and irritable, more cruel than others.
But no matter how you put it, compared with filling your stomach, a few instructions from the swing are really not worth mentioning.
A month is not long, but if there are fierce enemies outside and no food and grass inside, it will definitely be like a year. In just twenty days, the scene in the city is very different from when the crow and the little fox came. There are dilapidated houses and ruins everywhere.
It was a low-pitched cry. People who were too hungry and weak were lying in various corners, only breathing out but not taking in, as if they were waiting to die. From time to time, there would be angry scolding and crying sounds coming from certain places, probably someone was committing murder.
Doing evil and robbing supplies; sometimes you can see some residents who once lived in this city on trees, under roof beams, in wells, in flames, and in charred ashes. They seemed to be completely desperate and took their own lives in advance...
…
In a word, the city has become a purgatory.
Standing in the high sky and clouds, Birdman and Swing looked down at the tragedy below with frowns. They blamed themselves and regretted that they should not "tease" mortals like this. This kind of behavior is no different from monsters. However, the two of them did nothing.
Just watch honestly, open your eyes and carefully watch what these people do.
The effect of the elixir given by the crow and the little fox is similar to that of the Bigu elixir commonly used by mortal monks. After eating it, they can stop eating or drinking for a long time. However, they have made some tricks so that mortals will not be deprived of water or rice after eating the elixir.
Even after death, they still feel hungry and thirsty. The birdman father and his daughter want to use this "feeling" to test their personality and quality. In addition, the elixir contains a spell, which means that even if the body dies, the soul can be completely retained.
Even if it dissipates even slightly, it is not afraid of the scorching sun.
"After all, you and I have become the people I hate the most." Birdman said, "No matter how I explain this incident, I can't absolve you and me of our sins."
"Yes." Swing's ability to sense people's hearts can almost make her completely empathize with the mortals below, and she can best understand their sufferings. "Seeing more good and evil things will always change people's minds. We are no longer the same people.
We. Put it this way, Uncle Zhang is really amazing as a good soul throughout the world. He has been doing good but never doing evil, is not stained by evil, and does not despair because of evil. Even if there is a mistake in the final soul reunification, he has not become a bad person.
, it’s just that his personality is a little bit arrogant and energetic.”ωωw..net
There are indeed a few people in the city who regard the elixirs and kits sent by Birdman and Swing as hope, and they hold on tightly to the kits, waiting to open them in a month and be saved. Some of them are not in a hurry.
Someone once secretly opened the tips bag and took a few glances, only to find a note inside, which said: "It's not even a month yet, what are you doing when you open it? Wait for a month and then look at it - be good and be obedient."
The last hope they expected was like this. Many people suddenly fell into despair and absurd emotions. Some people cried, some laughed, some wailed, and some made a fuss. But without exception, those who opened the kit eventually died within a day.
Die, or start committing evil acts.
There are relatively few people who can really keep their will and not read the tips bag, but they are also more determined. Even if they hear the "truth" told by those who opened the tips bag in advance, these people will not believe it - they force themselves not to believe it. This group of people is not necessarily
Wise men, they are just unwilling to give up everything completely and still have illusions about tomorrow, even if this "illusion" is denied by many people.
As for the question of the bag of tips, it actually doesn’t matter. Whether it’s the person who opens it in advance or the person who sticks to it until the end, Birdman and Swing will save it. The key point is who can stick to the bottom line at this critical moment and guarantee not to do evil or commit violence.
.The reason why they sent out this tips bag is just that the crow and the little fox wanted to see more of all sentient beings. This is also the crime of the two of them. When they did good deeds, they had other purposes mixed in, and they changed the lives and deaths of mortals.
Evil is an experiment - whether it is a major sin or a minor sin, it may or may not be sinful, and you don't even have to worry about the sin. You can't tell.
"It's a crime." Swing said, "Anyway, I will personally clean up their memories afterwards so that they won't remember the madness of this month."
"That is adding insult to injury." Birdman said, "Interfering with the memories of mortals is also playing tricks on them."
"Yes~ yes~ it's also a sin." The little fox sighed, "No matter what the gods do to mortals, it violates the laws of heaven. But in fact, no matter what the gods do, even if it is not directed at mortals, it will probably affect the mortal world in the end. Remember.
Is there a passage that Wenquxing told us? "The immortals call for wind and rain, and mortals have to go through wind and rain; mortals farm and cultivate mulberry trees, and the plants, trees, insects, and seedlings also die and flourish." As expected of Wenquxing, what he said is true**
Makes sense.”
"Hey, hey, God Tianquan didn't say bad words." Crow said, "You guy, why are you adding an 'asterisk' to me?"
"Dirty words can better reflect the true meaning of this sentence." Swing said, "Dad, let's try not to do this kind of thing in the future. It is too cruel to test human nature, and it is too sad to inspire primitive evil. I feel uncomfortable watching it."
"Okay." Birdman said, "I didn't think about this issue at the beginning. If I had known it was so tragic and ugly, how could I have dared to do this. Alas~"
No more exchanges, just continue to read what’s going on here.
The people below have been waiting for thirty days, and the people above have been waiting for a month. One month is not long or short. The moon and the sun have gone back and forth thirty times, and finally the time has been worn away and the days have been exhausted.
Everything finally came to fruition.
This morning, the hungry people looked at a ray of sunshine emerging from the east, and couldn't help but shed tears of excitement and nervousness from the corners of their eyes. They raised their trembling hands, took out the dirty kits, and slowly
