Imagine the world

Chapter 21 Scorpion or Leaf

Entering the territory of Tema, the topography has not changed much. It is still a vast prairie, rolling hills and forests, and all kinds of wild animals are haunted.In the afternoon, there are occasionally traces of local activities, such as wheel marks on the bare sand.Whenever someone might approach, Huazhenxing noticed it early and avoided it.

Walking under a big tree, the two of them both slowed down and walked over, only to see a blood-stained noose hanging on the canopy of the tree, and the ground was also covered with dark blood, scattered with animal internal organs and hooves. , small pieces of fur and other debris, attracting many flies to gather.

Rochard: "What animal is this?"

Hua Zhenxing frowned and said, "It's a giraffe. In the mountains and forests in the southern part of the country, many people poached giraffes, but just chopped off their heads. Because people here believe that the brains of giraffes can cure AIDS, and a deer head can cure AIDS. Selling at a high price. But this giraffe was cleanly cut, and the fur, venison and even the bones were shipped away and should have been taken back to eat or sold at the market.”

He had seen people selling giraffe meat at the fairs in Port Fesso, at a very cheap price, about one-third to one-quarter of beef, and sometimes venison jerky.But the most valuable part of a giraffe is its head. A complete deer head is much more expensive than the rest of the body combined, and it is only traded on the black market locally.

Rochard held his breath and looked down carefully: "I have also heard such rumors. Some pharmaceutical groups have deliberately conducted experiments, and the results are not very clear. Anyway, there is no firm conclusion so far. But this group of poaching It's not just for the deer head and venison, other internal organs are still there, only the liver has been taken away, which should be used for smoking."

Hua Zhenxing said in surprise: "Pump?"

Rochard sighed, "Yes,"

This is cold knowledge that Hua Zhenxing doesn't understand. He was stunned: "There is such a thing!"

Rochard glanced at him: "You are still young, and you don't know the world, or even where you grew up. There are still many people who smoke scorpions."

Hua Zhenxing: "How do you smoke scorpions?"

Rochard: "Remove the last section of the scorpion's tail. The easiest way is to dry it and grind it into powder... There are many varieties of scorpions, and the toxicity varies among individuals. It is easy to die if you are not careful. Many people died because of this.

I work in a hospital, and sometimes the anesthesia doesn't work during the operation. Those people either smoke scorpions or giraffe livers, and even some other weird things, you can't think of it! "

Hua Zhenxing: "I know that there are many people in Fesuo port who smoke leaves and chew grass. If you have money, you can buy some high-end goods. Almost all gangsters do this kind of business in the territory. I have never heard of what you said. thing."

Rochard shook his head and said: "If you come from other parts of the world, you will feel that Port Fesso is already the most chaotic and backward place. But in the eyes of the indigenous people in this wasteland, Port Fesuo is the most prosperous in the world. Metropolis.

The aborigines in those villages have no money in their pockets. They usually make a living by collecting, and occasionally get some things to exchange for daily necessities or accept some international donations.Where can they buy leaves and grass, they can only enjoy these things.

Hua Zhenxing's brows furrowed even deeper: "Can't you live a good life, do you have to kill yourself with a scorpion?"

Rochard took another look at Huazhenxing and said with infinite emotion: "For them, this is the best enjoyment in life. It's not that they don't want to live well, but they can't see hope at all, and they don't even know what it is. Hope, day-to-day life is just the simplest repetition.

If there is a particularly intelligent person who realizes what an ideal is, or comes into contact with the real civilized world, he will only feel pain and even despair.They don't have the opportunity to get an education, they don't have the opportunity to do any modern jobs, and they don't have the conditions to change their situation if they want to.

In this world, it is meaningful to have wisdom, capital, opportunity, and diligence.Don't tell me that digging one more cassava a day will change the situation.Even if all the cassava in the field were dug up, it would not change anything, and only the cassava would not have to be dug in the next days.

Medicines made from giraffe livers were first used by witch doctors in the tribe to treat diseases, and now it has become a way for many people to anesthetize themselves, or it is their only enjoyment.Very few very smart, courageous and ambitious people will leave the village to find hope, so where can they go, it is a place like Fesuo Port.

But what can they do when they get to the port of Fesso?Either stealing, robbing or begging, or doing odd jobs, being the labor force at the bottom of society.There are also many people who joined the gang and learned to smoke leaves and chew grass... You also killed several such people two days ago.

If they come from the wasteland, they are already the elites of the village.It's funny and absurd, but it's the reality!If they can become a character like Jin Datou, it is already their ultimate dream for this world.

The pattern of the world is like this, whether it is the country of Jili or the country of Tema, there is no hope in sight.And in the country of Jili or the country of Tema, the villages in the wilderness have no hope.

Hua, in fact, you are very lucky, very lucky, I have heard your story, and you still have the opportunity to work hard and keep improving yourself.And many people have not had the opportunity to turn over since they were born, and the world will not give them such an opportunity.

You are from Dongguo, if you are really born in Dongguo, even in the most ordinary Dongguo family, you will have the opportunity to get a very good basic education, at least if you have the ability to understand the world and learn new things, you will have the opportunity to integrate into this world. modern world.If you work hard enough, you still have a chance to improve your situation, not just your own situation, but that of future generations as well.

Some people think that everything he has comes from their own efforts, but in fact they are lucky enough.Look at the people here, all they can choose from are scorpions or leaves. "

Hua Zhenxing interjected, "Dr. Luo, have you been to Dongguo?"

Rochard: "I have been there twice, both for medical exchanges and seminars. I was surprised that many of my colleagues in Dongguo, who are about the same age as me, were born in very ordinary families, even from remote villages.

In the past two years, when I came to Jili, I saw another completely different situation.I have participated in charity activities organized by international organizations, sending medicines, clothes, and water purification tablets to remote villages.

Later, because of other things, I passed by one of the villages again and was stopped by the villagers and asked me for something.I told them that this time I wasn't participating in a charity event and I didn't bring those supplies. Guess what happened? "

Hua Zhenxing: "As a result, you were beaten?"

Rochard's expression was a little painful: "Yes, they didn't believe it, and then they started to snatch my belongings. That was the first time I was attacked by the locals. Fortunately, there were guards in the convoy, who shot and repelled the villagers. ."

Hua Zhenxing said sincerely: "Dr. Luo, thank you very much for telling me so much."

Rochard: "Don't thank me, I should thank you, this time it was you who saved me. I have also had the experience of not seeing hope no matter how hard I struggled, so I can understand why those people smoke scorpions, but maybe they themselves Not realizing it.

Do you know what is the biggest difference between them and a normal American or Easterner?It's not that the monthly income difference is hundreds of thousands of dollars, but that they miss hundreds of thousands of years. This is how I feel when I come here.

The simplest truths in a civilized society are the consensus obtained by people who have been groping for thousands of years, and they are not common sense that everyone is born with.Without these accumulations, people don't have that common sense, and even if you tell them, they won't recognize it. "

Hua Zhenxing: "For example, I shouldn't beat you."

Rochard nodded. "You know that, but they don't think like you. That's the difference. So I say you're lucky, and I'm even luckier."

The two old men who were trailing behind looked at each other, Mo Shangtong nodded slightly and said, "Xiaohua didn't go this time in vain. He taught Dr. Luo Yuan Yang, and Dr. Luo also taught him a lesson."

Yang Tehong: "Dr. Luo's lesson, there will be more content in the future, some of which are for Xiaohua to learn slowly."

Mo Shangtong: "At least in Port Fesuo, Dr. Luo is a good person."

Yang Tehong: "That's why you asked Xiaohua to save him. It's not enough to save his life, but you have to escort him out of danger. This is his blessing. If it is replaced by someone like Jin Datou, then Don't even think about it."

Mo Shangtong: "What he said to Xiaohua just now is very insightful, and many Americans can't say it."

Yang Tehong sighed: "He is also an elite, and he has experienced a lot. Now he has regained his sense of superiority. At this time, everyone will inevitably feel compassion. There are not many fools in the real elite. Without seeing the facts, the key is what kind of facts do they want, and what are their bottom-level values?

How long did you and I and Ke Fuzi quarrel?But after so many experiences, we seem to have changed. We became able to sit at a table while drinking and quarreling, and then taught Xiaohua a lesson together.This is why, even though we had many differences back then, the bottom-level values ​​we each learned were the same, all for the harmony of the world and the well-being of the people.

We all thought we were right and thought that if we did that, we could achieve our goals.In fact, we are all right and wrong, but our bottom-level values ​​have always been in common.So later people can learn from us at the same time without affecting their most fundamental cognition.

Xiaohua can watch us quarrel without causing a struggle in his heart, because he knows what the purpose of our quarrel is and will have his own opinion.Remember when we argued that 'killing and stealing is not murdering'?Despite the quarrel, no one thought 'stealing' was right.

As for the foreign devil Rochard, his future is hard to say. He may return to his own society and climb to the top, or even become a big philanthropist, but he can't really change anything.Dr. Luo just said that the elites in the village will go to Fesuogang, so what about the elites of Fesuogang?

The elites of Fesogang want to leave this world and go to the world that Dr. Luo will return to.And the world in front of you is a zoo and a breeding farm. It is best to always provide entertainment for the people of that world, and you can harvest it again and again when it is valuable.

Dr. Luo has also participated in the activities of charitable organizations, but what are those organizations promoting over the years, to protect the traditions of the original ecology here!It's not giving them hope, it's preventing them from changing the status quo.In fact, the people here not only need real education, but also need someone to make a real demonstration. "

Mo Shangtong: "Old Yang, you talk a lot today!"

Hua Zhenxing, who had left the big tree and was on his way, also said at the same time, "Doctor Luo, you were very excited just now!"

Rochard smiled: "I had a lot of memories before I said goodbye. I just felt it."

Hua Zhenxing took a "look" at the task released by the "system" to "find out the inside story of Jin Datou's plan to kill Rochaide", and at the moment it was still at more than 90.00% of the completion progress, and couldn't help asking: "Doctor Luo, What are you going to do with the data you collect?"

Rochard: "Actually, I am also very contradictory. If all these materials are made public, international hospitals will be greatly affected. Those research projects carried out in the name of donations are exposed, and many donations will probably disappear. In any case, many Drugs all have side effects, the key is to see whether it can cure the disease.

If there is no Fesuogang International Hospital and those donated projects, many people will not be treated. Even if they try the medicine themselves, it will be better than no medicine at all... What should I do, I will spend more money. Take some time to think about it, fortunately, there are a lot of data, and different data should be handled in different ways. "

Mo Shangtong sighed in the distance: "There is a problem with Fesuogang International Hospital, but after thinking about it, I can only choose the lesser of two evils. I just didn't expect that Dr. Luo could dig up so much solid evidence. It's a bit shocking. He's really not easy."

Yang Tehong suddenly said, "This Doctor Luo is going to make a fortune."

Mo Shangtong: "Do you already know what he will do?"

Yang Tehong said lightly: "I have been to so many places and seen so many people and things for so many years. I can see it with my heel."

Mo Shangtong: "We've read all the documents he brought with him, do you want to make a fortune too?"

Yang Tehong: "I'm not interested, do you want to take this opportunity to make a fortune?"

Mo Shangtong shook his head and said, "I don't want to make a fortune myself, this sum is to give Xiaohua the capital. If Xiaohua hadn't been involved in this matter, we wouldn't know that Dr. Luo was actually doing this work, and we wouldn't have seen it. those data."

　The ancient history god drunkard returns to the starting point, the new book "The Sun and Moon of the Prosperous Tang Dynasty", a happy historical overhead text, recommended!
