There is a story about a fisherman and the devil in "One Thousand and One Nights". The devil was sealed in a copper bottle by Solomon and stayed alone for hundreds of years. He hoped that someone could rescue him, so he made four promises in total. It swore for the first time that if someone saved it, it would give it gold, silver, and jewels. But a hundred years later, no one came to save it, so it swore for the second time that it would give away all its underground treasures. Unfortunately, it failed again. A century passed and no one came to save it. In the third century, it upgraded its oath to say that as long as someone rescued it from the bottle, it would repay everything it had. The tragedy was that the person who saved it still remained The devil did not appear, and the devil, filled with grief and anger, secretly swore that if someone rescued him again, he would kill that person alive!
Then the fisherman appeared...
Of course, at the end of the story, the devil finally gained freedom, the fisherman also got his reward, and everyone lived happily ever after. The story has since been understood as the devil's repayment of kindness and revenge, and finally gained a religious inspiration in the story told by the fisherman. ; understood as the fisherman's intelligence and devotion to the Lord God.
Few people understand the psychological changes of the devil in the bottle during the more than 400 years when he yearned for freedom. He strengthened his vows time and time again, only to be disappointed again and again. So in the end, his psychology gradually distorted into " The curse mentality of "I will kill whoever comes to save me again" is a curse to oneself and a curse to fate. It is similar to the desperate farmers who suffered a mental breakdown in the drought year and then defied God: "If you have the ability, you can do it." It never rains!”
Chu Yunsheng had a similar experience. Fate had forced him into desperate situations time and time again. Without a glimmer of hope, he cursed God and responded with a tone of "Kill me if you can." Expressing anger against fate.
Therefore, he can now understand the mentality of Lu Guolong who was forced into a "desperate situation" in the crowd and said, "If you have the ability, you will make me unable to marry a wife for the rest of my life."
In the dark ages, Chu Yunsheng and Lu Guolong were not very familiar with each other. Compared to the Ice and Fire Team, Lu Guolong only played a small role in the office building. He was determined to find a wife from the bottom of his heart and was ultimately satisfied with marrying a wife. psychology. Chu Yunsheng didn't understand much at the time.
It was not until today that Chu Yunsheng saw with his own eyes the "misery" of Lu Guolong, who was unable to marry a wife, under the mouths of the onlookers, that he suddenly understood the origin of Lu Guolong's "wife plot".
And the "plot" that Lu Guolong has been craving for so many years has obviously reached the fourth realm of the devil. Otherwise, he wouldn't have occupied a small grain depot and become the Tu Emperor after awakening, crazily torturing and abusing the women who slept with him - those who should have fulfilled his desire to marry.
Chu Yunsheng doesn't want to be Lu Guolong's "fisherman". He doesn't have as many stories as a fisherman to inspire the devil and the dark age. Lu Guolong only came out of his extreme psychology after the tragic failure in the grain depot. Now, Chu Yunsheng has no time to give him a chance to experience it again.
Therefore, what can be given to Lu Guolong is neither the "favor" of the fisherman nor the "influence" of the fisherman, but only the "coercion" of Solomon who is even more powerful than Solomon!
When the devil just escaped from the bottle, he blurted out: "...Solomon! Please don't kill me. From now on, I will live in harmony with you and obey all your orders."
Chu Yunsheng needs Lu Guolong's obedience. Obey all his orders, Solomonic coercion is the only way.
The crowd watching the excitement diverted their attention because of Chu Yunsheng's appearance. On the eve of the doomsday, in a remote town, a powerful military vehicle could represent no less than the county party secretary's rural inspection in the past.
The skinny man who came with the car made it very clear that the owner of the military car was here to see Guangguan Lu, which shocked all the onlookers!
Anyone in the crowd who knew Lu Guolong immediately thought to himself, is there anyone in the old Lu family who is an officer in the army?
If so. That was a big deal in the town and the several villages surrounding it!
Some people have begun to regret, why are they so mean-mouthed, if they didn't offend Lu Guolong just now. Can’t we get close to each other by air now?
Who would have thought that the salted fish that had long since died in the stinking ditch could miraculously turn around! ?
Some people also thought out of jealousy that Lu Guolong must have done something illegal and would be arrested, and the more they thought about it, the more likely it became.
Otherwise, why would an old bachelor with no background be worthy of someone from the army looking for him?
Compared with the jealousy, envy, and hatred of the crowd of onlookers and the young and old girls, Biaozi and his son were only afraid. Since ancient times, people have not fought with officials. Not to mention the troops, even though Biaozi was tall and thick, he was as strong as a calf. When Chu Yunsheng glanced at him, Biaozi was stunned and did not dare to look at Chu Yunsheng. He lowered his head timidly. head.
Sometimes identity can scare people to death, even if it is just a powerful military vehicle.
Chu Yunsheng walked up to Lu Guolong in the crowd, and people automatically made way for him. The thin man helped Lu Guolong, who was still immersed in intense emotions, while looking at Chu Yunsheng and whispering: "Boss Lu , you will be prosperous now, and the army will take you to Nanjing!"
"What Nanjing?" Lu Guolong covered his bleeding face with his hands, feeling a little confused.
"Are you Lu Guolong?" Chu Yunsheng asked seriously in a business-like tone without any amiability.
Not to mention that Lu Guolong was not beaten in the face, even if he was fine, Chu Yunsheng might not be able to recognize him now, because it had been too long.
"Yes, yes, I am, good leader." Lu Guolong finally woke up a little after being prompted by the thin man's secret elbow, and said in a panic.
He didn't know what kind of official Chu Yunsheng was. With his status, he had only had contact with the village committee secretary and the town mayor. He heard from the thin man that he was the leader of the army, that is, the leader, and he drove a small car. of.
"What other relatives are there in the family?" Although Chu Yunsheng put some pressure on Lu Guolong, he would not treat him badly in terms of the interests of his relatives.
At this time, before Lu Guolong had time to speak, the skinny man next to him hurriedly interrupted, as if he was afraid that Lu Guolong said the wrong thing: "Yes, yes, yes! Leader, we are cousins. He also has an old uncle, and several aunts and uncles." While alive, a big family..."
"Let him speak for himself." Chu Yunsheng said solemnly: "Are there any immediate relatives?"
The people next to him finally understood. This man from the army must not be related to Lu Guolong, otherwise he wouldn't speak in such a tone, let alone know whether he has direct relatives.
So. There is only one possibility left. Boss Lu must have made some mistake. In this posture, he wants to notify his family!
The people who were a little nervous and regretful just now burst into low laughter. "For" Lu Guolong replied: "No, he is the only one in his family. He is single, and his parents have passed away long ago."
Chu Yunsheng ignored them and said directly: "Can you still leave by yourself? If you can, just get in the car!"
Lu Guolong panicked. He didn't know Chu Yunsheng, and he didn't know what Chu Yunsheng was taking him for. Like everyone else, he thought he had violated some national law, so he asked relatives and immediate family members. The more he listened, the more he sounded like he was going to be shot.
In a hurry, he also became dizzy and his head became mushy. He actually knelt down to Chu Yunsheng and pleaded for himself in a hurry: "Boss, you must find out clearly. I really didn't do anything bad! I, I just scolded Lao Li and Station Master Wang for stealing. National food, but those are all jokes and cannot be taken seriously. I apologize and kowtow!"
Chu Yunsheng didn't expect him to be so timid, but thinking about it, he was too. Lu Guolong surrendered on his own initiative. He was stunned for a moment and then shouted sharply: "Who said you committed a crime? Get up, I, Chu Yunsheng, are not kneeling!"
Lu Guolong obviously didn't hear Chu Yunsheng's last words. He saw a savior in his "busy schedule". The deputy director of their village appeared outside the crowd. Lu Guolong immediately seemed to have grasped the last straw and fought with all his strength. He shouted: "Director Sun! Director Sun! You have to tell the leaders of the army, I have never done anything bad!"
Director Sun originally just wanted to see what was going on with the troops. In today's tense situation, he had to die because he didn't have the budget to stand up for Lu Guolong, but he didn't expect to be seen by Lu Guolong accidentally. He was a fellow villager, and he was still the deputy director. If he didn't come out to say a few words to the villagers, he had to at least understand. The situation is unjustifiable.
The meddlesome people did not give him a chance to escape, and took the initiative to make way for him, forcing Director Sun to step forward, and approached Chu Yunsheng and said: "Comrade, hello, hello, I He is the deputy director of Mawei Village, and Lu Guolong is a villager in our village. I wonder what mistake he made? Is there some misunderstanding? "
Chu Yunsheng saw an official coming, no matter how big or small, he was also an official, so he casually took out a document from his clothes that someone sent from Shanghai had read, waved it in front of Director Sun, and said seriously: " He made no mistake. On behalf of the 1st Armored Division of the First Army, I recruited Lu Guolong to report to Nanjing immediately. The rest are military secrets. Do you have any questions?"
As soon as Director Sun heard that it was the First Army and the Armored Division, and he really dared to read those documents, he quickly said politely: "We will definitely cooperate, we will definitely cooperate!"
When the people around heard that an armored division wanted Lu Guolong, they immediately exploded! Life is like a roller coaster, but in less than half an hour, Lu Guolong has experienced ups and downs, and now he has suddenly become a gold medal winner!
Lu Guolong could hardly believe his ears. He had not even graduated from junior high school. What would a modern armored division do by himself? But seeing people even use red-headed documents, it’s like a dream, winning five million! ?
"You come with me first. The other relatives in the family will let them go to Nanjing by themselves. I will send someone to pick them up. That's it, let's go!" Chu Yunsheng got into the military vehicle without looking back after saying that.
Seeing that Chu Yunsheng had no intention of "revenge" for Lu Guolong, Biaozi and his son secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They were afraid that Lu Guolong would hold grudges in the future, so they didn't care about their shame at the moment and hurriedly apologized to Lu Guolong.
But Lu Guolong was hit by a huge "Easter egg", and he couldn't care about so many things. He was so dizzy that he wanted to go home and clean up, but he was slapped by the skinny man and cursed: "Take care of it." Shit! The few jars and jars you have at home are all thrown away by other people’s troops!"
Lu Guolong also wondered, how could an armored division lack food and clothing? This time I am lucky. I don’t know which life I have been blessed with.
He was a little afraid of Chu Yunsheng. The huge gap in status was enough to make him feel inferior. Thinking of Chu Yunsheng's serious tone and cold eyes, Lu Guolong's scalp felt numb.
He tried to stay calm, but unexpectedly, a woman suddenly appeared in the crowd. She wanted to seize the last chance and shouted at him: "Lu Guolong, didn't you say you wanted to marry me this morning?"
Lu Guolong's heart really moved, but he immediately subconsciously saw Chu Yunsheng's cold eyes in the military car, and he was shocked. He quickly took three steps and two steps and ran away.
Chu Yunsheng waited for him to sit down, then immediately started the car and passed by the skinny man. This Lu Guolong made Chu Yunsheng almost vomit blood again. He couldn't hold it back anymore. He stuck his head out of the car window and shouted worriedly: "Third brother, remember to help me feed the pigs at home!"
****
Chu Yunsheng did not go to the small grain depot again. When he arrived, he already found many trucks pulling goods from inside to outside. He arrived late.
Today is different from the past. The government now takes action in advance and has a lot of manpower and material resources that can be released to transport food from various grain depots. The military is also involved. Chu Yunsheng can be regarded as shooting himself in the foot.
However, since Song Ying and Yu Xiaohai had previous jobs in Shanghai, the problem of food was not big, but there was no private food for the time being.
Along the way, Lu Guolong had nothing to say. He didn't know what to say to Chu Yunsheng. He was afraid that if he couldn't say a word well, he would be sent back again.
Chu Yunsheng couldn't talk to him at the moment, so he only explained: "I will assign you to the militia group of the military region for the time being. After it is unified in Shanghai, you will be transferred to other organizations. You just need to be clear about it. From now on, you will obey my orders and will not accept orders from anyone else, do you understand?"
"Understood. Understood, what exactly do I do?" Lu Guolong nodded quickly. He didn't understand the subordinate organization at all. He just wanted to tell him who to listen to. What to do next is easier to understand.
Chu Yunsheng thought for a while and said: "You don't have to do anything for now. Follow me to the hotel and wait. I'll tell you something. Listen carefully and remember it by heart. During this period, you will practice according to this set of things, except for sleeping. Just practice, if you don’t pass the test, get out of here!”
Then, Chu Yunsheng briefly talked about some of the methods for cultivating earth energy that he had sorted out before. Not too much, and Lu Guolong couldn't remember more. It was just the most basic entry-level skills, which were more than enough for him.
Who would have thought that Lu Guolong listened attentively at first, but when he finished listening, he asked nervously in a low voice: "Leader, what kind of Kung Fu are you practicing? No, it can't be a cult, right? The government has issued repeated orders..."
Chu Yunsheng glared at him and said sternly: "What a cult, let you practice hard, don't worry about so much else, I will represent the government now, I will know when you get there!"
Lu Guolong didn't dare to ask any more questions, but his heart was agitated and extremely worried.
…
It was already past eight o'clock in the evening when we returned to the hotel, and communications with Shanghai had just been restored.
From now until the darkness of tomorrow is completely enveloped, this period will be the last "sunshine age" for mankind.
Chu Yunsheng received news from Shanghai. Song Zihuai hoped that he would return to Shanghai immediately tonight. Many things needed to be confirmed before he came back. Professor Sun also received an urgent call. The research on dead "meat balls" in the laboratory encountered problems. Regarding major issues, I hope Chu Yunsheng can come back as soon as possible!
But Chu Yunsheng doesn't want to go back so soon. He wants to wait until the dark age has completely entered, and then go to the place where the dark stone monument once appeared for a while to see if he can sense its existence.
According to his current speculation, in the world of fake monuments, the fake monuments may be the real monuments. And based on his own memory, it is very likely that the stone monument will appear again underground in Nanjing City!
So he only answered Song Zihuai's questions on the phone, but added at the end, asking Song Zihuai to broadcast Shanghai's safety to the world on shortwave at the last moment tomorrow.
He disagrees with some of the current policies of the military and government. Population is a burden, but it is also a base. The larger the base, the more awakened people will be and the stronger the combat effectiveness will be. There is a way to solve the food problem in the later stage, as long as Just gather all the grain reserves within these twenty days and keep an eye on the early stage of famine.
Professor Sun's side was a little simpler, and it was all areas that Chu Yunsheng was familiar with. Just talking about it casually was enough to keep them busy for a while.
After arranging Lu Guolong's accommodation, Chu Yunsheng took the time to contact Yu Xiaohai and the others several times. They learned that the operation was not going well because communication was not available when darkness fell. After discussion, they split into many groups and acted separately. So far, not even one-tenth of the names on the list have been found.
Chu Yunsheng can't help for the time being. All resources are tight now. Fang Baixiao can't send more troops. Only Du Qishan's regiment can be mobilized. The armored regiment itself doesn't have many soldiers. We also need to build camps to receive writing and language experts from all over the country. In the end, the troops that can support Yu Xiaohai are no more than a battalion.
But for Yu Xiaohai, a battalion is considered very big. Let him command a battalion of troops, even if it is not a professional fight, it feels like rushing a duck to the shelf.
Chaos is looming everywhere now, and there is no way to care about it.
After dealing with all the trivial matters, it was already 12 o'clock at night. After a while, darkness would completely fall. Although Chu Yunsheng was very sleepy, he did not dare to sleep. He could not even stay in the room. He was afraid that something might change, so he sat down The hotel's external communication center is waiting for that moment to come!
