The Vulture and the Iron Eagle landed three times, transporting more than a dozen tons of grain, and they had food in their hands, and they didn't panic. Xintiandi began to operate at full speed.

Ding Zhaoding personally went to Heping Li to take charge of recruitment. As most of the workshops, shops and markets in the city were destroyed, hundreds of thousands of civilians suddenly became homeless without jobs, housing, food and clothing.

It was easy for Ding Zhaoding to recruit 500 young people, who were basically young people who had experience in machining or other handicrafts. These people went to Qianyu under the leadership of Xintiandi employees and immediately devoted themselves to the construction of temporary greenhouses in Xintiandi.

Fifty of them were led by Wu Shuhui to make 'slices of porridge'. 'Sliced porridge' is a kind of popular food in Jiyun City, which is made of thin slices of apple fruit ground into powder and added to root plants such as kudzu root and yam. This is a kind of food that is often eaten by poor people in Jiyun City. At this time, it became a life-saving food.

The porridge field is located in Qianyu, dozens of cauldrons are boiling at the same time, and the civilians who come to receive food line up in a long line, this scene is extremely bleak at the moment of the Chinese New Year.

Several major families, as well as the Qingyun faction, the Jiyun City Chamber of Commerce and Industry also have porridge fields in various parts of Jiyun City, the largest is the relief office near the city hall, in addition to the soup kitchen, the victims can also rely on the certificate of good citizenship, each family can receive three kilograms of food.

However, most of the houses have collapsed, and the family's belongings and food are buried in the rubble, who will have the heart to take this thing with them when they flee, so there are not many people who come here to receive food.

Rose is negotiating with the city government as a representative of Shincheonji. As a rose who also has the identity of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, the city government does not throw her face very much, and the distribution of benefits after the disaster involves too many stakeholders, and the negotiation has become very difficult.

Ding Yi was planning the blueprint of the future factory, and Yuan Zhen walked into Ding Yi's office.

"Ah Zhen, can you knock on the door first? Ding Yi looked at Yuan Zhen dissatisfied.

"Xiao Yi, Sister Manli hasn't eaten all day, you are still writing and painting here, why don't you comfort her, Sister Manli was almost hit by a collapsed beam last night, I am talking to you, did you hear it?" Yuan Zhen saw that Ding Yi was still drawing on the drawings, and he couldn't hold back the fire in his heart and scolded.

"Ah Zhen, how many people outside here are still looking forward to a bite of food, she doesn't want to eat herself, what can I do? You don't know what she wants, how can you let me comfort her? Now that so many people's homes have been destroyed and so many people's lives have not been settled, should we focus on this?" Ding Yi sighed.

"Xiao Yi, I have always thought that you are a smart person, in fact, I found out that you are actually a big fool, don't you notice? What do you look like now? Just like the male protagonist in those phantom discs, compassionate, benevolent and merciful. These are all deceptions. Reality is far more complicated than what is played in the fantasy disc, a thousand times! If the protagonist in the fantasy disc had lived in reality, he would have been killed a long time ago. You are so naïve to believe in the things in the phantom disc and imitate them, do you think you are great? Do you think you are noble? You are stupid, you are poisoned by the phantom disk. ”

"Do you know where I went before I came to you? I went to the relief department of the city government, do you know how much grain the city government has in reserve? 400,000 tons! This is the number I saw with my own eyes, and only a fool like you would believe that Jiyun City has run out of food, and you go here and there to buy food. This is a game of chess jointly arranged by the city government and several major families in the city. Not to mention that there is also a Qingyun faction next to him. ”

"You are pulling out your teeth to fight for the interests of the city government and the family, this is playing with fire! You think you are the smartest in the world, but in fact you are the biggest fool in the world! All this you have done is useless, you are just a pawn launched by the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce to compete for power and profit with the city government. The blueprint you've worked so hard to design isn't worth anything, it's not a game you can play, so you better go back to reality and take a sober look at the world. Yuan Zhen roared angrily.

Ding Yi calmly listened to Yuan Zhen's speech, to be honest, he didn't expect Yuan Zhen to have such a statement.

Maybe Yuan Zhen is right, he is indeed deeply affected by those phantom discs, and he is a bit nerdy. I also understand what kind of virtue the family in this city is. But even so, he didn't feel like he had done anything wrong. He also believed that his parents and Xu Rongfa knew this fact, but he still carried out his plan without hesitation. Because he feels that when he is still capable of helping others, giving a helping hand is not only a conscience, but also a universal feeling.

He was very dissatisfied with Yuan Zhen's words.

"Then what should I do, do nothing? Many of these victims are still you and my classmates, neighbors, we just watched them starving, yes, I believe that in the end, the city government and the big families will finally take action, they will squeeze the last copper plate out of the hands of these victims, and those innocent old and weak will even be driven out of Jiyun City by them, and become the target of the villagers outside the city again. And those strong commoners will be forced to sign unequal contracts, and shed their last drop of blood and sweat for the sake of their families, and become the saddest laborers in the city. These are facts, and they are all stories that will definitely happen in the future. Is that what you're going to see?"

"I'm a big fool, I'm thinking about helping these people, I know what kind of results I will face in the future, I feel honored to be able to help these people with the puppet techniques I have learned, this is the value of my existence! Do you want me to be like those ruthless cultivators without blood and tears?" Ding Yi retorted unceremoniously.

"I didn't say that I wouldn't let you help those people, Xiao Yi, you open a porridge field and build some simple houses, these are enough, you don't have to trap yourself in, this is something that only fools do, you can't touch the interests of cultivators, you are playing with fire, sooner or later you will be burned on yourself, and in the end you will be burned to the bones by those cultivators. Yuan Zhen roared.

"By the way, I forgot that you are also a cultivator, Lord Cultivator, I'm sorry, I moved your interests, you want to burn me to death, right?" Ding Yi said sarcastically.

Yuan Zhen was furious, and for the first time he felt a strange feeling when he looked at the familiar face in front of him.

"I didn't mean that, I just reminded you not to overdo it, you are just a mortal, you are not so great, for you, for your family, for Sister Manli, you can't be so selfish to drag them into this whirlpool!"

"I know I'm a mortal, isn't it right that Lord Cultivator is teaching me how to do things? Wow, I'm so touched, should I kneel down and express my gratitude? Lord Cultivator, why don't you just burn me to death, because I won't give up, what can I do?" Ding Yi said.

"Xiao Yi, don't say that again! I'm all for your good, don't say those nasty words again. I have no ill intentions, we are friends, I want to help you, I don't want to see my friends get involved in this big trouble. Yuan Zhen was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, he didn't understand, Ding Yi had to insist on simple things pointlessly.

Ding Yi was also very angry, and the emotions that had been suppressed for many days were also vented out of his mind. He also knew that he had said a lot of inappropriate things, but somehow those radical words burst out without passing through his brain.

In fact, Ding Yi really has some negative emotions towards Yuan Zhen. A long-term fear of emotional rebound, and an inexplicable jealousy of his nervous friend, he needs to vent this emotion.

Xu Manli had just passed by and happened to hear the quarrel between the two, and she didn't know why she was going to walk in.

Seeing the two fighting cocks, it was a little strange, and I was trying to persuade the two. Ding Yi said: "Don't pretend to say anything like this for me, are you worried about her?"

"Sister Manli, aren't you looking for a cultivator to be your husband, haven't you noticed the people who are far away in the sky and close in front of you?"

Xu Manli didn't know what was going on, let alone what Ding Yi meant by this.

Just now, Ding Yi seemed to be saying that Yuan Zhen was a cultivator, how could this be? This little boy who followed him every day could be a cultivator? What are you kidding, Yuan Zhen is a guy who hasn't even entered the school training team. But she also knew that Ding Yi had always rarely told lies, saying that Yuan was really a cultivator, which was really unbelievable.

"What are you still doing, hurry up and perform your magical power of telekinesis, show it to your sweetheart, you have a concubine who has intentions, a match made in heaven, it is really a perfect match......" Ding Yi said indignantly, but Yuan Zhen punched him in the face and interrupted his words.

Ding Yi didn't fight back, just looked at Yuan Zhen coldly, and Yuan Zhen was furious and punched several times one after another.

Xu Manli watched Yuan Zhen beat Ding Yi in a daze, her mind was blank, and finally ran out with a scream.

"Sister Manli......" Yuan Zhen stopped his movements and hurriedly chased out.

Ding Yi's left face was swollen, Yuan Zhen's fist was really strong, he spat a mouthful of bloody spit, and sat down on the chair in a dejected manner.

Xu Manli's head was dizzy, her heart was very confused, and she hadn't had time to digest the story that had just happened.

Yuan Zhen followed behind her step by step, not far and not close.

There were broken bricks and broken walls everywhere, and Xu Manli ran to an abandoned eaves and stopped. Yuan Zhen also stopped.

"What are you doing with me? I won't be unable to think about it. Xu Manli said angrily.

"Sister Manli, I'm afraid you're in danger. Yuan said sincerely.

"Xiao Yi said that you are a cultivator, is he the truth?" asked Xu Manli.

Yuan Zhen didn't answer, and a half-buried and half-exposed chair rose from the rubble and floated in front of Xu Manli.

Xu Manli's eyes widened, looking at the scene in front of her. What Ding Yi said is true.

Xu Manli didn't sit down on the chair, she walked straight towards Yuan Zhen.

Yuan Zhen's little heart was beating wildly, and his palms were sweaty. He was a little afraid to look at the figure that was gradually coming over.

Walking in front of Yuan Zhen, Xu Manli looked at the boy who was still a head shorter than her, and with a bang, a burst of chestnuts hit Yuan Zhen's body.

"When did you wake up, why don't I know, what the hell are you two doing?" Xu Manli didn't have a trace of crampedness in facing other cultivators.

Seeing that Xu Manli didn't mean to blame him, Yuan Zhen was calm.

"In the past few days, on the day of Mu Yuan, I woke up inexplicably. Yuan Zhen explained.

Do you know how many people have been hovering outside the door of this awakening. Xu Manli said coquettishly, as if she remembered something, Xu Manli's voice couldn't help but slow down.

"I'm a cultivator now, and I can protect Sister Manli. Yuan Zhen emphasized again.

Xu Manli touched Yuan Zhen's head lovingly.

"Ah Zhen is a great existence now, and Xiao Yike and I will rely on you to protect me in the future. ”

The enthusiasm in Yuan Zhen's eyes subsided, and he looked at the beauty in front of him in puzzlement.

"Sister Xiaoli, aren't you looking for a cultivator to be your man, Xiao Yi is obviously just a mortal...... he said excitedly.

Xu Manli stroked Yuan Zhen's hair, with a mist in her eyes, looking into the distance.

"My sister is actually just an ordinary girl, who fantasizes about some ethereal things. Looking for a husband who is a cultivator, this is indeed what I once thought. In order to achieve this, I have also cried, made trouble, and played little tricks, but the ignorant and youthful years have passed, I am already awake, and it is just a beautiful dream after all.

Mortals are still mortals after all, and no matter how hard I try, I still can't change my mortal nature. I used to think about integrating into the life of a cultivator, and I thought about living this life like this, but when I really came into contact with the cultivators, and really set foot in the circle of cultivators, I realized that in fact, this is basically the two heavens. Not to mention integrating into their circle, even communicating with them is a problem. ”

When I understood this truth, I finally let go of the obsession in my heart, and it turned out that I could live so easily. Ah Zhen, my sister knows what you think, I just said the truth, we are not all the way, thank you for liking my sister, but my sister already has someone I like in my heart, yes, I like Xiao Yi, although he is a little domineering, a little unreasonable, but he is the most handsome and smartest little boy I have ever seen. My heart has been occupied by him, and I can no longer tolerate others. ”

"But he is not a cultivator, I am, every time I see him ignoring my sister, I am very angry, sister, you are also an arrogant person, but every time you blindly accommodate him, I ......" Yuan Zhen said urgently.

"You two are good friends, you have always been one writer and one martial arts, and you complement each other well, I don't know why you are so unhappy, but Ah Zhen, Xiao Yi has too many responsibilities on his body, he is fighting against fate all the time, you are his good friend, I hope you can help him more." He has a temper and only dares to talk to us, he is very tired and tired, but he does not dare to stop, because there are enemies everywhere, he has never complained to me, he has never fought alone. In fact, I know a lot of things, but I didn't tell him, for fear of adding trouble to him. ”

"Ah Zhen, Xiao Yi is really lonely, he only has you as a friend who has played since childhood, I hope you can let go of the mustard in your heart and understand him, looking at him like that, I actually feel very uncomfortable. ”

Yuan Zhen's lonely face turned pale, and this was the first defeat he had encountered since becoming a cultivator. After Xu Manli left, he stayed where he was for a long, long time......
