Chapter 731: Man and Ghost
Freya looked at Roy and the chatterbox proprietress with a curious look on her face: "Tang Fang, what are they talking about? It's so profound."
He rubbed her head: "Children don't need to understand this."
"Woo...woof." She pouted her nose and said aggrievedly, "Besides, I'm a child...I...I'll bite you."
Roy still could not accept this practice of ignoring life, and believed that everyone had the right to live and be respected, even those nobles. Although he has never expressed his opinion on the things Tang Fang did in "Georgia", he doesn't think they are correct. He just thinks that Big Brother Tang also has capricious and crazy moments, and the starting point of doing that is to save him and Bai Hao and the others. He has no position to criticize, and he is not qualified to object.
"Heavy taxation is the sin of the Olipold family. It has nothing to do with those low-level officials, and it has nothing to do with the rich. A lot of their money is earned by themselves. In fact... it is not easy to be an official."
The proprietress was already a little impatient, it was the first time she saw someone as optimistic as Roy, or rather stupid.
"Whether it is in the Monya Empire, the Sulu Empire, the Phoenix Empire, or the United Kingdom of Turanx, the nobles almost control the economic lifeline of the entire country. Whether it is the national finances or the hard work of the common people, they are all kidnapped by them. This majestic country has become their home world. With power in their hands, wealth will naturally flow in, so the nobles eat meat and drink, and the people with nepotism eat vegetables and soup."
"We are nothing but slaves in the hands of the nobles, feeding them with our hands and blood and sweat. It doesn't matter what you say, people who have money to fly on the MHM series of flights, their every penny is related to politics, has an affair with power, paint us all the blood and sweat of the race."
"They have guns. They also have cannons. They say they will defend the motherland. In fact, the muzzle of the guns has never been exposed. It has always been inward. Because we have children and family members. We don't have the courage to resist such oppression. We can't complain and vent our hearts. Are you dissatisfied? If this is all subject to moral kidnapping, is there any justice?"
"So, a kid like you who has never experienced the hardships of life and has been living under the umbrella, can I ask you to shut up?"
Roy was annoyed by the boss Nian's words about the kid. He is also someone who has walked through the gates of hell many times, such as in the northern suburbs research institute of "Rector". On the "Void Ripper" in Tellow, as a person who has experienced countless sufferings and possesses powerful force, how can he stand being called a brat.
"Is the Star Alliance better than here? Is the Charles Federation better than here? The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Is it interesting to laugh at a hundred steps at fifty steps? The country has laws, society has morality, and life also has rules." Rules. Since we live in such a country, the best way is to adapt and fight hard. Go upstream,
Instead of complaining, not venting, not complaining. "
"Basing your own happiness on the sorrows of others, you still have reason to complain about the immorality of the country and the immorality of the society. If the people of the United Kingdom of Turanx are people like you who are afraid of chaos in the world, I think... high pressure The rule is good, if there is no noble guidance, the world will be in chaos, and you will eventually dig your own grave and die."
One year has passed since the "Morning Star" left the Megall star system. Roy also began to enter puberty, more or less rebellious and tempered. Especially when he saw someone disrespecting life, he couldn't control his emotions.
In fact, he regretted it after he finished speaking, because such a statement is tantamount to belittling the quality of the people of the entire Tulanks United Kingdom, and also belittled the quality of the people of the Monya Empire. From another perspective, it is tantamount to accusing the Garcia Rebels and denying what Brother Tang has done.
Moreover, if you think about it carefully, Boss Nian's sentence "the little kid who has been living under the umbrella" is not wrong. He has indeed been living under the protection of Brother Tang and all the members of the "Zuo Angel". Eat the meals cooked by the Garcia Rebel chefs, drink the water from the Garcia Rebel soldiers, use the daily necessities bought by the Garcia Rebel buyers, and become brothers with people like Joey, Yuffie, Walton, and Grant .
He felt a little guilty all of a sudden, how sad Brother Tang would be if he said such words so quickly in order to show off.
Who would have thought that Tang Fang would remain unmoved, lying half dead on the dining table, squinting his eyes and watching the curling match on TV. If someone who didn't know him watched it, he would definitely think he was an ignorant fool, etc. Dead poor. Of course, because he was so easy, even if he knew what Captain Tang looked like, he would not be able to recognize him now.
He didn't speak, but it didn't mean that the proprietress would tolerate accusations from a brat like Roy.
"The pursuit of a better life is the fundamental right of every human being."
She suddenly picked up a stainless steel fruit knife under the counter, pointed at Roy's face and said, "Don't you just want to say that people like us are low-quality? Then you are high-quality, so come to a store opened by people with low quality like us." What are you doing? Go out, go out, this business will not be done today, and my mother will not serve a noble dog like you."
"Let you go out, what are you still doing? Get out!"
Roy's expression was embarrassing, Tang Fang was still lying there, oblivious to the argument between the two, and Freya was lying on his lap, with a face that seemed to be asleep, with streams of saliva in the corner of her mouth, she didn't know her dreams. to something delicious.
"There is something to say, something to say." Roy raised his hands and said awkwardly: "It's easy to hurt yourself like this."
Not to mention the proprietress holding a knife, even if she was holding a gun, she couldn't hurt him, so the middle-aged man kindly reminded her not to hurt herself.
"Are you going out?" The landlady's eyes were full of fierceness.
With a bang, the back kitchen door was pushed open, and the boss who was ordered to wash the dishes earlier came out with a pot in one hand and a spoon in the other, and stared at Roy viciously: "My wife told you to go, are you deaf?"
Roy was very wronged, really wronged, he just said a few words of truth, truth, and reason, why did he annoy people? Why are they just like Bai Hao, not listening to persuasion?
He did it out of kindness, although he was a little sorry for Brother Tang.
Tang Fang remained indifferent, watching Roy say nothing and mess things up, neither save the situation nor leave.
Freya was awakened by the sound of the iron spoon hitting the bottom of the pot, and raised her head from under the table. Looking at the embarrassed Roy, and at the fully armed couple, curious and excited eyes flashed across their faces. Crisply said: "Roy, are they chasing you? Is it because you didn't pay for your coffee? Don't worry. I have it here."
The little girl smiled and took out a 10,000 yuan Turanx coin from Tang Fang's pocket, put it on the table, and said sincerely: "Boss, don't make things difficult for him, we have money."
They entered the store and ordered 3 cups of coffee and a small plate of donuts, which cost less than 20 yuan. Who knew that the little girl had the highest denomination banknote in the United Kingdom of Turanx at hand.
In some small places, many people cannot earn such a piece of paper for half a year. Fortunately, she casually took one out of the man's pocket and put it on the table. What's even more strange was that the man didn't even blink his eyes, as if he didn't care about it.
The boss thought it must be a counterfeit note, although it looked exactly like the real one.
The proprietress thinks that the little girl has mental problems, doesn't she know what such a piece of paper represents? That was 10,000 Turanx coins, almost the 10-day turnover of the cafe.
She guessed it right, Freya knew it was money and could buy things. But she doesn't care how many delicious and fun things such a piece of paper can buy, because she never brings money. She has no concept of value, and thinks that it is something Tang Fang and Claire need to worry about. She just needs to tell them what she likes.
Seeing that the boss and the proprietress were not talking, she frowned, and went to Tang Fang's pocket again: "Isn't that enough? There are more here."
Captain Tang, who was lying on the table and pretending to be dead, couldn't sit still, and grabbed her little hand: "Prodigal bitch, you can't make things like this even if you have money."
Freya said with a smile, "You finally spoke."
Tang Fang shook his head, and put away the 10,000 yuan on the table. Said: "It's not about money, it's about respect and dignity."
The proprietress glanced at him. Suddenly, she felt that the guy like a wooden man spoke words into her heart.
The man, on the other hand, was salivating at the money that Tang Fang casually put back into his pocket, and looked at the woman expectantly. But dare not say anything more.
As Tang Fang said, the argument between Roy and the proprietress was not about money, but about respect and dignity. But when a person cannot even be guaranteed the right to live, no matter it is dignity or respect, it becomes a luxury.
Hope is important, and it is important to be alive.
The whole life of people like them is oscillating between hope and life.
Ideals live in a small heart, and realities pile up under the blue sky. They tear people in two, one half is a ghost, and the other half is a human. Those who live in reality are called "ghosts", and those who live in the heart are called "humans".
"Are you guys in the same group?"
The proprietress is very puzzled, half-children are like those patriotic youths who are deceived by slogans and lies, blinded by brainwashing education, used to confuse black and white, divert conflicts, create internal antagonism among the people, and concoct external hatred to relieve the pressure of interest groups.
That man was different. He neither criticized nor accused anything. He just said a simple sentence, which was what she, he, and all the low-level civilians wanted most --- respect and dignity .
Tang Fang smiled and said, "I am his umbrella."
The woman frowned: "He speaks very hard."
"No, it's uprightness." Tang Fang said: "True things exist to make black things white and white things black. What you need is not to reason with him, but this."
As soon as the words fell, a fist landed on the boy's face.
It comes from Tang Fang.
This was the first time he hit Roy with his hands.
But this is not the first time Roy has had such a punch. Bai Hao beat him like this when he was in "Georgia".
Ying Luo said that Bai Hao was a bit like Brother Tang, but he didn't think so until the same punch landed on his face.
Yingluo also said that the reason why her sister Linglong likes Bai Hao is also because she resembles Big Brother Tang.
"I thought Bai Hao's punch woke you up, but now it seems that such an idea is too naive." Tang Fang looked at his face: "You know? When you were attacked last night, I I'm getting impatient, you're not even as sensible as Tang Yun raised a fish."
"The next time I see you being soft on the enemy, just go back to the Sea Angel. Remember, reality is not about making movies."
Roy was taken aback by this punch. It was the first time he had seen such a stern Brother Tang. He was a little ashamed. He did show mercy last night, but a terrorist suddenly woke up and pointed a gun at Yingluo's back. Bai Hao reacted promptly and stuck a dagger into the man's throat.
He remained silent, covering his face in silence.
The atmosphere at the scene was a bit awkward. The man put down the pot and spoon, and the woman threw the fruit knife back to the counter, but she felt a little embarrassed... If she didn't do this, Roy wouldn't be beaten. The boy was angry.
She was also at that age, and she also had a heart longing for dreams and justice.
The embarrassing atmosphere was quickly broken. It wasn't Tang Fang or Freya, nor the boss and his wife, nor Roy, but a sudden news break.
The explosion and fire of the MHM138 airliner a few minutes ago was not an accident, but a prelude to a criminal act. The beautiful female anchor told the audience in front of the TV with a solemn face that the K838 flight that had taken off was hijacked by terrorists and is currently in Ganjata Flying around the city of Sri Lanka, the government is trying to communicate with the hijackers, but has not yet received a response from the other party.
Roy got up from the ground covering his face, his face was stunned. Tang Fang glanced at the TV screen and frowned slightly.
The proprietress never thought that things would take a turn for the worse, and someone actually hijacked the airliner.
MHM138 is a luxury airliner, while K838 is just an ordinary airliner, and most of the passengers on it are middle- and lower-income earners.
Tang Fang returned to his seat, finished the half cup of coffee, watched the TV screen silently, and the boss also came out from behind the counter, looking shocked at the high-altitude images transmitted to the ground by orbiting satellites.
The face of the proprietress is a bit ugly, she can just sit back and watch the officials and noble children die badly, but it doesn't mean she will be indifferent to the scene in front of her.
There are civilians sitting on k383!
Everyone was quietly paying attention to the development of the situation, except Tang Fang.
It wasn't that he was indifferent to this matter, but a piece of internal information about the airport that Emma transferred attracted his attention.
The fire and explosion of the MHM138 airliner earlier was not an accident, as the official media said, but was actually closely related to the hijacking of K383.
mhm138 is a luxury airliner, and k383 is an ordinary airliner. The two are aimed at different consumer groups and have different security levels. (To be continued.)
