"The journey of the Dao is also, the world is the public, the selection of the worthy and the capable, the faith and the harmony..."
Long Yuehong sat on the left in the back row, holding a book and reading in a low voice.
After reading this paragraph, he raised his head and looked forward in confusion:
"Team leader, why doesn't the company teach this ancient text
"Does anyone remember?"
The book in his hand was all exchanged for food from Shuiwei Town.
At this time, the afterglow of the sunset was so strong that Jiang Baimian had to wear sunglasses.
She thought for a moment and said casually:
"I read it in extracurricular books when I was a child, which shows that there are still many people who remember it.
"It's just that the senior management of the company may not want everyone to learn this ancient text, so as not to pursue the Datong society, which is not conducive to management."
"Isn't that true?" Long Yuehong expressed his thoughts, "Although the company does not make the world a public good, and choose talents and talents, at least let everyone be old, useful, and young, eh , the poor, widowed, lonely, lonely, disabled and sick all have something to support.”
Halfway through, he forgot his words a little, so he could only look down at the book again.
Jiang Baimian laughed:
"There is a saying called "preventing the microscopic and deteriorating".
"Look, employees like you who haven't been working for a long time know that the people above often use power for personal gain and nepotism, which means that everyone still has a steel scale in their hearts, and they dare not object on the surface, but they are all pointing and pointing in private.
"If generations have accepted the idea of a Datong society, how will they play? How can the big boss smoothly hand over power?"
Long Yuehong was a little persuaded, but still felt that it was not that serious:
"No one should directly oppose the high level, right
"Everyone is quite satisfied with the current situation."
Compared with the many wilderness homeless settlements on the dusty soil, the interior of "Pangu Creature" is stable and calm. As long as everyone works hard, they will be rewarded to a certain extent, and there is no need to worry about starvation.
"Not necessarily." Jiang Baimian said as he turned the jeep and walked along a small river.
Long Yuehong immediately smiled and said:
"How could someone be willing to sacrifice so much just to help everyone fight for their rights?"
After questioning, he subconsciously looked at Shang Jianyao next to him.
He suddenly remembered that this friend and colleague often talked about saving all mankind.
"Yes." Shang Jianyao looked at him brightly and said.
"..." Long Yuehong felt that she couldn't argue with this guy, and said instead, "Aren't you sleeping?"
During this period, Shang Jianyao would fall asleep from time to time during the day, as if he had entered an intermittent hibernation period.
In this regard, Long Yuehong is not surprised. For the past two weeks, he has been on the road every day, and he has basically no other life. Apart from sleeping, chatting and exercising to restore his body, there is nothing else to do.
"I'm a little tired, wake up and take a rest." Shang Jianyao said a strange truth.
He's been wandering into the "Sea of Origins" recently, looking for a second "island".
"Isn't sleeping with you resting?" Long Yuehong scolded with a smile.
He suddenly had a flash of inspiration and looked at Jiang Baimian's back again:
"Team leader, then why does Shuiwei Town teach this text? You can also see that their high-level executives have their own careful thoughts, and they don't want the world to be public, and they don't want people to kiss alone..."
Jiang Baimian said "um":
"Probably just to prevent this from happening, articles like this are put into the classroom.
"Different original intentions resulted in two different choices."
Bai Chen, who was in the passenger seat, glanced at the team leader and said in a low voice:
"Actually, it's not that complicated.
"When Shuiwei Town was first founded, they used whatever textbooks were available. Everyone didn't think much about it, and then it became a tradition."
Jiang Baimian wanted to look at Bai Chen sadly, but his eyes were completely blocked by the sunglasses.
She laughed dumbly and said:
"You can't tear down my stand when I'm reasoning!"
When she said this, she was still in a good mood, because Bai Chen's state had recovered well.
She thought that Tian Erhe's death would make Bai Chen unable to recover for a long time. As a result, after the handover, the day after leaving Shuiwei Town, Bai Chen could not see anything unusual, but his mood was a little low.
In the past few days, she is no different from before.
In this regard, Jiang Baimian also understands:
Which wilderness wanderer is not used to life and death
As long as they don't collapse directly or leave psychological problems, they won't be affected by similar things in their daily lives soon. Of course, it may be a long time later, when they think back, they will still feel a pain in their hearts.
After finishing the topic, the jeep fell into silence again.
After such a half month, how can there be so much to talk about
Long Yuehong immediately looked out the window, and saw the low lead clouds, the withered yellow wilderness, the brown soil, and the mountains and trees in the distance.
Apart from these, there is nothing, not to mention humans, even animals are stingy about showing traces.
This is the winter of ash.
Seeing this kind of scenery for a long time is really depressing and annoying.
In order to rush to Weed City as soon as possible and avoid possible dangers, the "Old Tune Team" chose similar places along the way, and it has been more than half a month.
- They did not take the usual detours for long distances, but also delayed for several days due to changes in the environment and bad weather conditions in some places.
"When can I meet someone?" Long Yuehong slowly exhaled.
If it goes on like this, he feels that one day he will go crazy because of it.
"Then what? Will you chat with them?" Shang Jianyao asked excitedly.
"Uh..." Long Yuehong thought about it carefully, and felt that she shouldn't be so rash, "I just want to see other people, otherwise, I will feel that there are only four of us left in the whole dust."
"Then who do you pick? For the sake of human reproduction, you must make sacrifices." Shang Jianyao seemed to be imagining the scenario in Long Yuehong's hypothesis.
Jiang Baimian was about to stop this guy from continuing to talk, when Bai Chen suddenly said:
"Now this season, in the wilderness, it's better not to meet people."
Long Yuehong also has some experience, and said thoughtfully:
"Under such cold weather, the wanderers who still enter the wilderness have no food?"
"Yes. Moreover, their food is seriously insufficient." Jiang Baimian replied.
She sighed immediately:
"At that time, it's okay for them to try to snatch you. If you kneel on the side of the road, hold your child, and beg you, will you save or not
"If you choose to save, can you give them food for a few days? How many can you save along the way
"After rescuing them, if they feel that this is still not enough to survive the winter, and decide to take the opportunity to rob you, or even kill you, to make food reserves, how would you feel
"Even if they knew how to be thankful and didn't do it, they turned around for food for the winter, and killed some of the other people you saved, even more pitiful people, would you blame yourself?"
These rhetorical questions were like sharp arrows, which were accurately inserted into Long Yuehong's heart, causing his lips to move, unable to answer.
"Not a single one can be saved." Bai Chen replied in his place, "Our food is only enough to eat Weed City, and it is winter now."
"Unless you are willing to starve yourself to death, otherwise, it is better to be invisible." Jiang Baimian added.
She laughed self-deprecatingly:
"Individual strength cannot save ashes.
"The founders of the 'Salvation Army' decided to unite after experiencing similar things time and time again, to establish an organization with the goal of saving all mankind.
"They hope to use a strong collective to rebuild the social order and production system as soon as possible, and then, to accommodate more homeless people, produce more food and other materials, and grow like a snowball.
"such a pity… "
She lamented that the "Salvation Army" built by idealists eventually fell.
"There are always latecomers." Shang Jianyao responded with a solemn expression.
Jiang Baimian did not continue the topic, pursed his lips, and said solemnly:
"It's time to think about what to eat for dinner."
Hearing this sentence, Long Yuehong's expression suddenly collapsed, and Shang Jianyao did not raise his hand to wipe the corner of his mouth.
They have only three options:
Energy bars, compressed biscuits and military tins.
While this all comes in different flavors and varieties, it comes down to energy bars, compressed biscuits, and military tins.
And when they have eaten these things every day for more than half a month, when they hear similar topics, it is inevitable that they will be in a bad mood, and even a little nauseated.
"When I go back this time, I definitely don't want to eat canned food again." Long Yuehong sighed sincerely.
Those cans are indeed delicious, but who can take it every day
Seeing that no one answered, Jiang Baimian glanced at the sunset hanging on the horizon, turned his head to Bai Chen and said:
"Is there a more suitable wilderness wanderer settlement nearby?"
Although the map provided by the company marked several well-known settlements in this area, Jiang Baimian felt that it would be more direct, convenient and appropriate to ask Bai Chen.
"In addition to trading food, what other requirements?" Bai Chen asked directly.
She is very sure that the team leader is not someone who has to change the itinerary just to change the recipe.
Jiang Baimian laughed:
"We will arrive at Weed City in a day or two, so we have to make some preparations in advance.
"You can't just swagger into the city, can you
"Even if the 'Rite of Life' sect is not so extreme and not so powerful, and has not obtained the information that we are going to Weed City, we have to consider the factors that caused the disappearance of the other 'Old Tune Group'.
"So, it's better to find a suitable wilderness wanderer settlement and do some necessary disguise, for example, to mix in the caravan that goes to Weed City to trade."
Papapa, Shang Jianyao applauded sincerely. Long Yuehong also admired the team leader's thoughtfulness and thoroughness from the bottom of his heart.
Bai Chen nodded lightly:
"I understand what you mean.
"Then go to the nearby 'Rootless' camp.
"In winter, they should all be here."
"Rootless?" Long Yuehong made a puzzled voice.
"Are they all eunuchs?" Shang Jianyao asked.
Jiang Baimian also said with interest:
"I've heard of 'rootless people', but I don't know much. What is the specific situation?"
Bai Chen smiled slightly:
"When you see it, you will know that they are not subhumans, nor eunuchs, but a group of normal humans with unique customs and habits."
"Yo, I've learned to sell off." Jiang Baimian jokingly said, "Which way should I go?"
Bai Chen sat up straight and pointed the way seriously.
