Chapter 27 Skirmishes
As soon as the ship arrived, the dock became lively immediately. Small vendors selling goods came over to attract customers. The main ones were selling food and some daily necessities.
"It's so lively." Zhao Liujin felt that this was the same as celebrating the festival, and he was greedy.
"Come with me, let's go to our ship warehouse first." Because there was no money, Zhang San didn't stay for a long time, so he would just get on the ship to avoid the temptation of the vendors.
There were all kinds of people on the boat, including gentle clerks, big and thick villagers, aunts holding children to marry, young women with anticipation, and many rich people dressed carefully...
Everyone who traveled around the world was on this boat. Ye Bei couldn't help laughing. This was the world he was familiar with: "I'm back."
"It's starting to get up inexplicably again." Qin Ying and Ye Bei knew each other for a year, and they were together day and night. It was not the first time she saw Ye Bei say such childish words.
"Senior sister, don't you feel that you left Zhaojia Village, left the paradise, and came to the bustling crowd. This is the real world. We should be in this world, we are part of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. When we are happy, we are happy. When we are sad, we are sad. Standing among the crowd, we can accept other feelings so that happiness can be happier and sadder." Ye Bei is a very emotional person. Because he has to rely on eloquence, he often reads and applies the contents of the book to work. When he opens his mouth, he can always make customers feel unconscious and use them to control the rhythm.
So no matter what happens, Ye Bei can sigh. Anyway, he is very excited now, because he can see all kinds of people again, and he becomes active in an instant because he has long been used to facing different groups of people. Only when there are too many people will he feel free and feel like a fish in water.
"When we are happy, we are happy, when I am sad, we are sad?" Ye Bei did not realize that his ravings were heard by the nun in black not far away, which made her trance.
This was the first time she heard such profound words. She had always understood many phenomena that she didn't understand. The Holy Book taught believers every word and action, but many believers could not understand the truth with a book called "Holy Book", that is, they regarded the "Holy Book" as a theory of debate, rather than their own hearts, and did not really empathize with them when reading and studying.
At the same time, the nun also thought of herself. She often thought she was rational but did not really understand the prayers of others. She just copied the words of the Holy Book. Therefore, she could not advise those poor women before, and could not persuade them to turn back.
The reason why the nun stood on the deck to breathe was to reflect on his own failures.
"Come on, the boat has stopped, everyone gets off the boat for some breath." Just as Ye Bei and others were about to enter the warehouse, a group of women came out of the narrow cabin door. The leader was wearing heavy makeup and wearing a white tweed coat. Behind him were several young girls with fat and thin air, all of whom were medium-sized, shy and joyful, all seventeen or eighteen years old, with a total of five people, led by the woman wearing makeup.
The smell of perfume was very strong, and Ye Bei's nose could no longer smell any other smell.
There are many odors in the ship warehouse that are mixed but not as good as this perfume smell.
"It's so unlucky, why haven't you got off the boat?" The woman in white coat immediately slammed loudly when she saw the nun, and her tone was very impatient.
"Sister Yun, stop arguing." A girl pulled Sister Yun's sleeve. It was obvious that they had had an unhappiness with the nun before.
"Is that going to argue? I will take you a few of you into the city to make a fortune. She jumped out and said that we were self-deprecating. How could I not be angry? You still talk to her? Do you know there is a saying that goes, "The girls in the city change, the girls in the country can't catch up, the girls in the country just catch up, and the girls in the city change again." I took you to the city to see the world. Why would you be insulted by her for no reason?" Sister Yun said and shed tears.
The people on the deck couldn't help but gathered around, and some passengers still looked lively and seemed to continue watching the second good show: "It's started again."
"This nun is also meddling nosy. Has he provoked her? What trouble did she go up to make? It made everyone unhappy for no reason." A spectator said, "It's a sin."
"The foreign monks and nuns of the Holy Church are like this, otherwise why did they travel far away to our Jiuzhou Continent to build temples? Isn't it that I am full and meddling in other people's business?" said a gentle clerk, obviously very dissatisfied with the Holy Church coming to the Jiuzhou Continent to preach.
"But it's a pity for these girls. Wouldn't it be better to find a good family to marry? I have to go to those businesses that apologize for laughter."
"What's the matter? There is a girl in our village who changed a lot after two years of entering the city. Now many people envy her family. She earns more money than entering the factory, and only a few more people will go to the factory." The era has changed. The Northern Dynasties have perished. Nowadays, if you can live a glorious life in this era, it is the best. No matter what industry she is in, even if they are miserable women.
"Mythical degradation." Zhang San couldn't help but mutter, he probably knew what was going on: "This woman must have found a few girls of good looks from the village to go to the city to do skin and flesh transactions. It's really a thing of the past."
Ye Bei was stunned: "Go in groups? Don't care about the family?"
"How can I manage it? Everyone's life is not easy now, and selling children is common. If their daughters can go to the city to make a lot of money, they will naturally be happy. The world is getting worse and worse." Zhang San obviously not the first time he has seen such a thing: "Last year, I went to the suburbs to receive goods, and I went to a village. Ten-year-old girl wants to enter the dance hall, because it makes more money than being a child laborer. There are many young girls in their village who are ladies in the dance hall. Not only are they not ashamed, they aim to do this." Zhang San has really seen a village girl who has dreams of a dance hall lady, but even so he still denounces this behavior.
"It seems that this nun, like Brother Zhang, couldn't stand it, so he spoke out and advised him, but it obviously had no effect." Ye Bei did not doubt at all. After all, the economic foundation determines the superstructure, and these young girls cannot even guarantee their basic life. Instead of being sold by their families, it is better to be a lady.
"The nuns of the Holy Church want to save the souls of others. Although I don't like the Holy Church very much, many of them have been working hard to help the poor. Several churches in Tonghai City often give beggars porridge, which I still admire." Zhang San said: "It's a pity that the Holy Church is still a tool for the expansion of the great powers."
