I didn't become a human today

The dead man who was buried deep in the ground had a long dream.

……

……

The attendants squatted at the door, constantly fanning the dying flames, adding a handful of dry wood, the flames quickly came back to life, the firewood beeped, and tiny sparks splashed out of the furnace.

There was a strong smell of medicine in the air, and the bottom of the medicine cauldron was stained with a jet black color by the orange-yellow flames. That color could not be wiped off no matter what, just like the pain that had been dormant on his body for many years.

"Master, it's time to drink the medicine."

A bowl of hot medicinal soup was handed to him, because it was very hot, the attendant was very cautious.But the bowl of medicinal soup was too full, and some was spilled when it was handed to him. His clothes were stained with yellow-brown stains. Before he could say anything, the attendant was frightened and knelt down with a plop On the ground, "Master, please spare me, please let me go..."

"You bastard!" The guard next to him kicked the man out, "What if the young master gets burned? Dog, drag him out!"

Amidst a burst of crying and howling, Fu Bai stopped pressing his temples, and slowly opened his eyes.

The guard handed him the cold medicinal soup. It was a pitch-black bowl. He stared blankly at the bowl of medicine for a while, then slowly took it and drank it down.

The people around him handed over candied fruit, and he waved his hand, the bitterness in his mouth kept him awake all the time.

"Yesterday, the emerald mine collapsed, and several people died. The family members have been stuck in the mine and made trouble until now... Should we send them away with more money?"

Fu Bai frowned, "No, prepare the car, I'll take care of it, it's just a few lives, don't need so much money. Those who keep saying that they are family members, don't take good care of the dead, come to the mine to make trouble, obviously I feel like I can make some more money.”

But they forgot that he was an out-and-out businessman, always shrewd, and no one could take advantage of him.

The emerald mine under the cliff city was forced to suspend work because of troublemakers. When Fu Bai arrived, those people just put the dead in the center of the mine. The weather was stuffy and hot, and the dead people stink.

Fu Bai covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and glanced at the rioters indifferently, "Throw these troublemakers out, the mine will continue to work normally, and whoever stops them, just beat them. As for these dead people...you don't want Carry them away, and I will let people gather them and throw them into the pool of bones."

When Fu Bai came, he brought a lot of attendants with him, and those powerless people knew that they were outnumbered, so they started to fan the flames.

"Do you still have a conscience! After so many people died, it would be okay to lose a little money?" A woman cried and sat on the ground, "My husband has been working in the mine for five years, and he has worked hard without credit. Two silver coins, you want to send us away?"

"How much do you want?" Fu Bai got off the carriage, his face showing a sickly whiteness.

The woman said tentatively, "Two hundred taels, at least one hundred taels!"

Fu Bai smiled, "A dead person costs 20 taels, and this price will never change, but if you insist on asking for 200 taels, that's fine too... There were a total of six people who made trouble at the scene today, and they were all killed, including the previous There are four dead people, ten people in total, 20 taels for each dead person, and 200 taels are enough to go back to the funeral.”

Fu Bai's words made those troublemakers shudder.

He looked at everyone on the field, "Those who leave now with the body can get five taels more. If you don't leave, don't blame me for being rude. You can choose, whether to leave with an extra five taels of silver, or stay here , a desperate fight?"

People who know the current affairs will choose to leave, and soon, the troublemakers have almost left, but the woman is still begging them to stay, "Do you really believe what he said? We have so many people , They dare not do anything to us! Not to mention there are so many people watching!"

Apparently, she has not realized the powerful strength of the Fu family in Shiyuan.

Fu Bai approached the woman, and shook his head regretfully, "You really are not afraid of death."

Seeing the guards approaching her, the woman was terrified, "I agree, I agree to leave, you tell them not to approach me, I'll go, I'll go!"

The woman stood up completely, turned around and left pretendingly, while everyone was paying attention, she suddenly took out a dagger from her bosom and rushed towards Fu Bai.

Fu Bai was weak and couldn't dodge in time, and his arm was still cut. The guards scrambled to rush forward. In the chaos, someone pushed him, and Fu Bai fell directly into the deep pool next to the mine. middle.

The deep water pool was originally an open-air mine with unfathomable depths, and there was no water in it, but some time ago, Shi Yuan had continuous torrential rain for a long time, and the rainwater actually filled the mine.

The surface of the pool seemed calm, but Fu Bai only found out after falling into it that there was a turbulent undercurrent at the bottom of the pool. After the incident, many guards jumped down to save him, but he could only watch helplessly as he was sucked into the water. A deeper bottom.

The water in the pool was icy cold, and soon he found it difficult to breathe. After choking on a few mouthfuls of water, Fu Bai saw a glint of light above his head. He swam up with all his strength and surfaced...

This is another exit. Fu Bai found himself in a cave. The cave was very large and bright everywhere. Looking at a city that never sleeps, those men and women who come and go are wearing thin clothes. Upon closer inspection, they find that there are monsters mixed in it.

He turned around to look for other exits, but came across a bloody scene by accident.

A man in a brocade robe stood behind the stalagmite and waved his knife indifferently. The man didn't die immediately, but wailed miserably while clutching his wound. His face was expressionless, and he continued to swing the knife for the second time.

"You monster!" the man began to curse.

Human blood was warm and splashed onto Fu Bai's face.

At that moment, he looked into that person's eyes, which were cold and terrifying, without any waves.

It actually made him feel a feeling of sympathy for the same kind of people.

The man obviously also noticed his existence, wiped off the blood on his face, and looked at Fu Bai's existence indifferently.

"Am I a monster?" He was puzzled and asked Fu Bai casually.

Fu Bai smiled, "In this world, who is not a monster?"

This world is divided into two kinds of people, one kind of people shows their desires nakedly in front of everyone.

The other kind of people bury their desires in their hearts. They show disdain for the first kind of people. Their spurning and insulting are just the monsters that dare not expose their hearts. That doesn't mean that the monsters don't exist anymore.
