From Chief to Ball
Page 504
The people here are not lacking in imagination, but the age of copper and stone is too short, words appeared too early, and the way of thinking is too far away from the imagination of myths and the like, and they are used to the way of thinking because of it.
After the people in the arithmetic class used the shadow of the sun to calculate the size of the earth, they had fantasies about the outside world, but these fantasies were shattered by those fogs, storms and death.
The stories circulated in the market are a combination of "Flowers in the Mirror" and "The Adventures of the Bragging King", described in a more exaggerated way.
There are obviously nonsense content, but also plausible imaginations, and this completely irrational way of nonsense makes people in this area close to the prosperous trade of the sea see a different kind of fantasy.
It is astonishing that the graphite pen manuscript with illustrations that was circulated was finally bought by a single person for eighteen silver coins.
Of course, people don't believe that this is written by someone who doesn't know a few words. A strange-sounding name is signed on the back of the book. It may be the author: Lei Feng, with the word Zhengxing.
The book seller was also a down-and-out man. After careful inspection, it was found that the man's father was indeed a crew member who had gone to sea and never returned.
This man would always tell some stories, and after the stories were finished, some pamphlets written in graphite pen would be circulated, selling for a price that was amazing but not eye-catching to the people behind the scenes.
Every day, there were many people standing around the downcast man, listening to him tell stories, laughing from time to time, and occasionally throwing a few coins over.
At first, they were just people in the market, but later some came here in carriages to listen to stories or buy pamphlets.
For a while, there was a wave of searching for Lei Zhengxing in Mincheng, until one day another short pamphlet was circulated, with a passage written in the back.
"The paper is full of absurd words, just for Mr. Bo to smile."
"If a dish is delicious, why bother to see the chef? If a bookseller is willing, he can sell it on paper at will, and I won't take any money."
"I will donate all the silver coins from selling pamphlets these days to workhouses and charities. Although the money is not much, it can feed dozens of children more."
Apart from three sentences, there is no other words.
On the second day, in front of the poorhouse, someone found a small bag containing 46 silver coins and 270 copper coins.
The bag is green, made of very common jelly green dye, sewn with heavy cotton cloth, very simple, with a star embroidered on it with red cloth.
There was no name on it, but everyone believed that Lei Zhengxing took out the cloth bag and the money in it.Donated more than 40 silver coins to the charity at once, which is an astonishingly huge amount of money.What is even more astonishing than this number is that such a thing has been done without publicity, which is simply shocking.
But at this time, it was the time when people were looking forward to the revival of the gentleman, and this shocking custom gradually became a good talk, and it became popular to carry this kind of green small bag on the back. Someone seized the business opportunity and shipped a lot of it from the north. frozen green dye, and some garment factories also produced some.
With the sudden disappearance of the man who told the story, Lei Zhengxing's incident finally became a legend. Some people wanted to impersonate, but they were always seen through. Maybe they did a great job, but they were different from the one people imagined in their hearts. People are not the same.
Just like the characters in those dramas, this person should be tall, mighty, elegant, kind, etc. all in one, so those imposters actually shattered many people's dreams, and naturally it was difficult to gain a foothold .
It is difficult to be a saint, but a good man is closer to a saint than a bad man.Not only did this weird satchel become popular in Fujian city, but some people finally donated some money and clothes to poorhouses and charities.The absolute number is not much, but it is more than the sum of previous years.
After these stories spread, there were many times when people in the market were discussing things related to those pamphlets and Lei Zhengxing. It was not until the first ten-week holiday in October that they were replaced by another thing.
That day, those crew members who were dying of strange diseases in the hospital lived another day, and it seemed that they could live for many more days.
The spots on the body disappeared, the gums stopped bleeding, and the horny hair follicles fell off... just like the mermaids in the brochure said shed their scales.
The crew thanked the sun, the sea breeze, everything they could see, and the woman who gave them hope.
The woman took the crew's coins and disappeared together with the potted flower, as if there were no traces left in the world, but dozens of fresh lives were left behind.
No one has ever linked this radiant woman with a woman in a slum living a miserable life by selling butchers, because it was too far away.
And this kind of thing is like a miracle. People are discussing what are the medicines that cured the strange diseases, and why are they so similar to the contents of those pamphlets?
Many people recalled the potted flowers and felt that maybe that was the root of everything. Together with the stories that had been circulated in the market for a long time before, these flowers had a mysterious color that came from beyond the sea.
Unknowingly, those two silver coins a pot of flowers that looked expensive and were ridiculed by others were gradually sold, and more and more people bought them.
Someone looked through the "Hundred Herb Collection" and confirmed that there is no record of this kind of flower, so it is even more mysterious.
This is not just a potted flower, but is connected with everything from healing, kindness, stories, and mystery.
Two silver coins is not a great price to some, and even without those stories, the flower itself is a beautiful sight.
Soon, these flowers were also sold out.
The flower seller said that there are only [-] pots in the world, but [-] pots have already been bought.
Unless someone leaves Huaxia to go to the sea, there are only these seven hundred pots of flowers in this world. These flowers can reproduce, and the flower seller also told everyone how to cultivate them.
Afterwards, the flower seller also disappeared, and never came to sell this kind of flower again.
The flowers are beautiful and fragrant, and with the age and name of a gentleman who yearn for a gentleman, it seems to be worth two silver coins.Besides, even for those stories, it is worth it, and these flowers are indeed very rare.
When everyone was lamenting these things that enriched the conversations in the autumn market in Mincheng, something even weirder happened.
The workhouse received another package, the same green color, and also contained a lot of silver coins, a total of four hundred.
There was also a note in the same handwriting as the previous booklet.
"Everyone desires to be a gentleman, just like this flower, the sword guards the unchanging kindness."
"Flowers are not noble, but the virtues of a gentleman are. There are only these flowers. I hope everyone who buys them will take good care of them and don't forget the virtues of a gentleman."
"You have become gentlemen, because the children in the workhouse have given out four hundred silver coins more. There is your kindness in it, just like the half-blooming flowers of the fire, making all the haze invisible. It will always be good got up."
"I think everyone has a Clivia in their heart. The heart is the root buried in the dark soil. One day, it will stretch out the buds and bloom the dazzling flower of Clivia."
On the back of the note, there is also a line of illogical but daydreaming small words: The person you love the most, your dream, will bloom in every inch of sunshine.
This note and the four hundred silver coins immediately plunged Mincheng into a lively conversation, and mysterious stories always make people think.
Even the short line of illogical words after the note has evolved many stories of tears. Some people say that this is a gentleman's flower watered by a woman's blood, and some people say that this is a person who has experienced the vicissitudes of life. flower.
In short, all kinds of stories that people like continue to spread and enrich, constantly making women cry and men inspiring.
To pursue a girl, give her a pot of orchids; to highlight elegance and nobility at home, buy a pot of orchids; go to sea to pray not to be swept away by the wind and waves, buy a pot of orchids...
From this day on, a sick and sudden epidemic spread all over the streets and alleys of Mincheng.
Chapter No.17 Vicious Teeth
Chen Jian, who was hiding behind the scenes, was rubbing [-] silver coins at home, and he only donated [-]. After deducting the consumption and the consumption of letting those people leave Mincheng temporarily, there were still [-] silver coins left.
In addition to the three hundred silver coins, he also had three hundred pots of flowers hidden in his hand.
Those [-] pots were given away at a low price. To hype such a thing always requires many people to be involved in it, so that the price can be raised more quickly.
First, a twisted story is used to endow this flower with a spiritual meaning, so the meaningless things become noble and elegant.
Then, with the mysterious and illogical last paragraph, let those who have flowers develop their imaginations and make up the most touching stories that make people cry, sigh or cheer, and people will always choose a favorite.
Of course, this is not enough, three hundred silver coins can't do anything at all.
The real fermentation and warming up have not yet started, and the script written by Chen Jian has been roughly completed, but the heat has just begun, and what is needed now is to slowly heat up, not to add fire.
