Afterlife Blows Up Gensokyo

"No noble or powerful family would be willing to spend so much money to help refugees. Your approach has broken an unspoken rule that exists among the nobles. If your Qin family helps refugees, where will the other noble and powerful families be? ?”

"I, Qin Hesheng, do things better, so why do I need other people's opinions?"

Shibai shook his head calmly.

"Let me tell you a story. When I went out to the street yesterday, a ragged father hugged my feet and kowtowed to me, begging me to give him some food so that he could help his wife. Son, but when I went to the residence of the father's family with food, his wife and children had frozen to death, they hugged each other tightly to keep warm, and when they died, they still had a big stuffed in their mouths. A lump of unmelted snow..."

Shibai closed his eyes.

"The father with the life-saving food and warm clothes in his hand was silent for a long time, first bowed to me seriously, and then chose to slam his head against the wall beside him to death. It's too late to stop."

"........."

"People who have never been to the bottom and lived at the bottom will never be able to understand the sorrow of those bottom people, nobles? Why can they be called nobles?"

Opening his eyes again, he looked at the same gray-haired girl standing in the snow not far from him, with a calm expression on his face.

"Let me ask you, what is it that made that father give up the things he sacrificed his dignity to get him to live well, and finally chose to die resolutely?"

"...It must be despair."

Lowering his head as if he had done something wrong, Fubumonobu spoke in a low voice.

"That father has lost all hope of living. At that time, death is his best relief... But this is different. There are too many refugees. Even if you empty out your Qin family, you It is impossible to treat all of them, no one will care about these..."

"But someone cares."

Seeing the gray-haired girl with her head bowed as if she had done something wrong in front of her, reaching out to help her brush off the snowflakes accumulated on her hair, Shi Bai suddenly laughed.

"Those who have hope will care, those who have been cured will care, those who can muster up the courage to live will care... that's enough."

Chapter 37 The Reappearance of Huo Qing'e

This is actually an easy question to think about.

No matter in any aspect, or in all walks of life, there are so-called unspoken rules, and everyone is tacit about it.

To give a specific example, in a large company, it is necessary to mobilize the employees of the company to donate to charity, and then when no one else has donated, a young man ran out and donated all his property and salary ...and then what about the others?

Are others donating or not?How much are they going to donate?If you donate too much, it hurts, but if you donate too little, the other party will lose face in front of the leader, and of course, they will take their anger out on this stunned young man.

Although this kind of thing is ridiculous to say, it actually exists, and it can be called a great reward for human confusing behavior.

For this kind of thing, Shi Bai is naturally clear in his heart, but does he need to care about it?Not at all.

In fact, Monobubudu was not the only one who came in a hurry after receiving the news. Su Wotu and Feng Conger also rushed over, but Monobubu was the first one to arrive.

When he was talking to Monobubu, Feng Conger Shenzi and Su Wotu from ancient times happened to listen to the whole process outside the courtyard.

Originally, God Zi Feng Cong'er wanted to go in, but was stopped by Su Wotu. He pointed to the scene in the courtyard, and Su Wotu quietly gestured to God Zi Feng Cong'er.

When Shenzi Feng Cong'er looked up with some doubts, he happened to see the scene of Qin He Shengqin's helper Budu brushing the snowflakes off his head, and the whole person immediately understood it.

After nodding to Su Ertu Zigu beside him knowingly, the two of them left quietly.

...so what the hell are they doing?

Somewhat inexplicably, he glanced at the gate of the courtyard, then turned around and walked towards the corridor under the eaves.

"Come into the house, you are not afraid of catching a cold and having a fever if you continue to stand in the snow? Look at how your face is frozen... You are lucky today, I will reluctantly buy you a cup of hot tea."

"........."

Casting his eyes at the figure of the person in front of him from the corner of his eyes, Monobe Fudu quietly covered his cheeks with his hands, only to realize that his face had become hot without knowing when.

A moment later, walking here under the eaves full of wind and snow, a brazier was lit.

"Okay, after tea and entertainment, you can go back."

Passing a cup of warm tea to the other party, he waved his hand casually, Shi Bai casually reached out and picked up a bottle of bad wine warmed by the brazier and drank it.

"I want to drink too."

Looking at the cup of tea in his hand and smelling the aroma of wine from the side, Monobufu couldn't help curling his lips.

"Come on, minors can't drink alcohol, you seem to be only 12 now?"

Rolling his eyes, Shibai raised his head and took a sip of his wine.

"Alcoholism at a young age is not a good habit, it is harmful to the body."

"I'm 13 years old, I'm already an adult, and you're not much older than me!?"

Monobe Futo retorted dissatisfiedly.

"Oh, little brat."

He squinted at the grey-haired girl beside her who was holding the cup of tea and curling her mouth in dissatisfaction, and someone had a sneer on her face.

"Only someone like Tu Zigu can be considered an adult, you? Just a child."

"Tu Zigu? She is obviously the same age as me..."

Before he could finish his sentence, as if he suddenly realized something, he quickly put his arms around his chest, his whole face flushed instantly.

"You, you disrespectful person!! I, I, I..."

"What are you, you, I am me, what am I, I am stuttering, what is children?"

While drinking wine and looking at the snowflakes outside, someone looked bored.

"Ah... I really want to hack Budu to death..."

"........."

Monobubu felt that the guy in front of him was extremely bad no matter what.

I don't know how Feng Cong'er Shenzi persuaded his father. The next day, after the Qin family, the Shanggong family also opened a warehouse to release food for the refugees, and the Su Wo family followed closely.

Half a day after Soga announced the news, the Monobe also issued the same statement. Under the premise that the two powerful families who are the leaders of the two factions have acted, those who originally planned to turn a blind eye The nobles finally reluctantly started their own rescue.

The number of nobles accounted for 1% of the total population, but the wealth owned by their nobles accounted for more than 80% of the total wealth. With all the nobles acting collectively, the worsening situation finally eased , and even got a complete solution.

This winter, which was quite difficult for those who lived at the bottom, finally survived.

But obviously, because of the Qin family's exemplary role in this matter, while receiving awards from the emperor, they also suffered collective dissatisfaction from the nobles.

As the next generation head of the Qin family, Qin Hesheng, who has gained the greatest reputation, bears the brunt of it...but someone doesn't care at all.

As winter goes to spring, new buds bloom from dead leaves, and everything looks like it just woke up, and quietly opened its eyes.

I don't know when it started, various legends about him began to spread among the people. With the help of some caring people, even before Shibai himself knew it, he had already become the No. 1.

"It's a good thing, why are you so nervous?"

He yawned, and someone with a mask on his face showed a lack of interest.

"Could it be that you don't think I, Qin Hesheng, are worthy of being No. 1 in this Shinto?"

"No, this is obviously flattery."

Shenzi Feng Cong'er had a serious look on his face.

"The higher you stand, the worse it will be when you fall down. It's obvious that someone is trying to harm you. You have offended too many people with the winter disaster."

"It's a mediocrity not to be envied by others. Isn't that just a proof that I'm a genius?"

Sitting lazily on a tree trunk about two meters above the ground, someone wearing a mask reached out and pulled the mask down habitually.

"Don't worry, it's just a small matter. If anyone wants to challenge my Shinto No.1 position, please feel free to come."

"You don't understand how serious the problem is."

Seeing Qin Hesheng who was dozing with his hands on his head on the tree and sitting down on the stone chair under the tree, Feng Cong'er Shenzi couldn't help but shook his head helplessly.

"At present, the religious struggle in the court of this country is getting more and more serious, and the conflict between the Soga family and the Monobe family has become more and more obvious. Under this situation, it was elected as Shinto No.1 and You, who have gained a lot of popular support, are likely to become a thorn in the side of the Buddhist sect."

"Hmm... can I ask you something, Master Shenzi?"

"what's up?"

"Between Buddhism and Shinto, which sect do you believe in more?"

"...Maybe it's Buddhism."

After a moment of silence, God Son Feng Conger replied.

"The decline of Shinto has become a fact, because it has been a long time since the miracles of the gods have appeared."

"That's because Amaterasu in Gaotianyuan ran away from home. All the gods are busy all over the world to find their Lord Amaterasu. How can they care about mortals' response to mortals? Otherwise, Buddhism will be under the siege of the gods in Gaotianyuan. Now, how could it develop in this country..."

He slandered secretly in his heart, and after thinking about it for a while, Shi Bai answered very simply.

"Since Lord Shenzi already has a choice in his heart, why should he feel confused about it? I'm afraid you didn't just call me here today just to say these things, right?"

"...Because I feel that among the three of you, perhaps only you can understand what I said best."

Looking up at the sky, after a moment of silence, Feng Cong'er Shenzi sighed.

"Qin Hesheng, let me ask you. Since the beginning of chaos, the sea never dries up, and the rock never rots. Why do human beings die eventually?"

"Is it because you saw so many corpses that were frozen to death and starved to death?"

Sitting upright on the tree, Shibai laughed.

"The sea can dry up, the rocks can rot, the sky can crumble, and the earth can crack. We... even the gods will perish one day. Who can escape immortality?"

...he almost sang.

"Will the gods die too?"

Feng Cong'er Shenzi raised his head in a little surprise.

"I don't know, I'm just guessing, because I'm not a god, I'm just an ordinary person."

With the mask on his face, half of his face was pulled away, and Shibai smiled at the other party.

"Does Master Shenzi want a life that will never age or die?"

"No one would not want it? After all, human beings are really too fragile, so fragile that a heavy snowfall can take away the lives of countless people."

The expression on Feng Cong'er Shenzi's face was slightly bitter.
