Wei Zi and Hui Zi looked at a pearl together.
Through the crystal clear beads, they saw a dust man walking in the wind. The strong wind blew so hard that he could not open his eyes. He could only lie down and climb tenaciously to a big tree, hugging the trunk tightly with both hands!
The strong wind whirled and gradually stopped. The dust man stood up again and continued his journey.
After watching this shocking scene, Wei Zi put down the pearl in his hand and picked up another one.
This time, the two of them saw another dustman, who was working hard to make mud bricks in the brickyard.
Wei Zi suddenly realized,"
"Oh, it's amazing-you can see all the activities of a Dust Man through a single pearl!”
"In that case, we can manage the Dust People in the valley through these pearls?”
"That's right! Each person managing a box of pearls was managing the living conditions of 1000 dustmen!”
Wei Zi finally had a clue. Now that things had come to this, he could only pull the gourd here and there and grab whatever he encountered!
Huizi had always lacked confidence in anything, so she needed Wei Zi to cheer her on. Her gaze was fixed on his face. Seeing the doubt on his face, she couldn't help but worry for him.
"Wei Zi, did you read the note that the cream man gave you? What was written on the paper? Surely you understand what we are here to do?”
"I've already read that note. I can recite the words on it backwards, but…to be honest, I still don't understand! The only way was to cross the river by feeling the stones--just do it by fumbling! Just like a man, without anyone to teach him, he could still complete the task of carrying on the family line by relying on his instincts, right?”
After Wei Zi finished speaking frankly, he winked at Hui Zi mischievously and regained his confidence.
"How is this the same…"
Huizi found it funny when he compared managing things with carrying on the family line. She avoided his gaze and shifted her gaze to him. She saw that he was yellow and black, dirty and messy, and the cloth bag that he carried with him. The strap was also broken, and it was only connected with a dead knot. She said in a low voice with heartache,
"After you're done with your work, go back to your residence and change out of these dirty clothes. I'll help you wash and sew them properly!”
"Huizi, you're so nice! Thank you!"
Just as they were talking, Wei Zi, Zhang Zi, You Zi, and dozens of students swarmed over. From afar, she heard Wei Zi's annoying voice,"
"F * ck! So our boss is hiding here! We've been looking for him! Was he afraid? Haha!"
"If you don't know how to manage us, leave as soon as possible!”
"That's right, don't be a dog in the manger!”
"Do you want me to teach you how to do it?”
Wei Zi looked at them calmly and said seriously,"
"No need, you came just in time. I was just about to go find you! Here, our task is to manage the pearls in each box. There are 1,000 pearls in each box, and each pearl represents the fate of a Dust Man…"
"Haha, I see! The cream man said that we can control the fate of the dust people. It's not fake at all. Thinking about that feeling, it's too good!”
Zhang Zi cheered excitedly, and the other students followed suit.
Only Wei Zi felt as if he was carrying a thousand pounds of weight on his shoulders. He didn't think that this was a fun thing to do.
As soon as he returned to his residence and saw the bed, he was extremely exhausted. He threw his body heavily on the bed and fell asleep. It could be said that he almost fell asleep. He forgot to close the door, change his clothes, and even take off his cloth bag. Just like that, he slept soundly.
As night fell, he was still asleep. He did not know that the door had been pushed open, that a light black shadow was approaching him, or that a pair of delicate hands were gently tugging at the cloth bag under him. Now, half of the bag was pressed under his waist.
Seeing that the pair of hands were slowly pulling the bag out from under his body, Wei Zi turned sideways and pressed the bag under his body again. His mouth moved and he mumbled in his sleep,
"Don't move…I'm so tired…I'll take off…my clothes for you later…"
When the black shadow heard this, it froze and did not move. After a while, it turned around and tiptoed out of the door. Its light steps were like a fleeting ghost.
Early in the morning, the sun was shining on his butt, but Wei Zi was still sleeping soundly on the bed.
Huizi rushed to his residence anxiously and saw that he was still sleeping on the bed. She quickly went forward to shake him up.
"Wei Zi, wake up!"
Only then did he open his heavy eyelids and look at Huizi drowsily."
"Er-did I oversleep?"
"Yes, I am! Now, everyone is waiting for you in the workshop!”
"Oh no, I fell asleep. I'm the supervisor now. How can I be late…"
Wei Zi said as he bounced up like a lithium fish, jumped to the ground, and walked out with a disheveled face.
" Wait, your clothes..." Huizi stopped him. She wanted to say something but stopped herself. She pointed at his clothes.
He looked down at his dirty clothes and smiled bitterly.
"Yesterday, I was too tired. I fell asleep as soon as I came back and didn't change out of my clothes to wash up…I seem to remember that you came to my place last night?”He had a vague impression of her and looked at her for confirmation.
"How did you know? I did come, but I saw you sleeping soundly outside the window, so I didn't come in to disturb you!”
"Oh? Am I dreaming? I feel like you're standing by the bed…Sigh! Let's not talk about this first. Let's leave quickly!”
"Look at you. You won't even speak loudly when you go back to face everyone! Do you know that Wei Zi and Zhang Zi are people with ice in their mouths? Why let them catch us?"
"But I don't have any clothes to change into…"
"I have a set here. I wanted to give it to you last night. You can change out of this set of clothes now!”As she spoke, she took out a set of clothes from her bag.
Huizi's thoughtfulness and consideration made Wei Zi feel a warm current in his heart. He obediently took the clothes that were handed over.
"I'll wait for you outside!"
Wei Zi changed his clothes and walked out. Hui Zi almost couldn't help but smile.
He looked a little comical as he was wrapped in a set of clothes that was obviously one size smaller than his mature and sturdy body. Huizi held back his laughter and said,"
"I didn't expect you to grow so fast. Next time, I'll sew a new set of loose clothes for you!”
"Then it's been hard on you! Let's go quickly. They must be waiting anxiously!”
"Oh right, I have something to tell you. Just now, I heard Zhang Zi say in the workshop that there are only 950 pearls left in his box!”
"What is it? In other words, he had lost a total of fifty pills!”
To Wei Zi, this was a very serious problem.
The two of them rushed to the workshop, and Wei Zi called everyone for a meeting. At the meeting, he said seriously,
"Today, I heard that someone's box was missing fifty pearls-did you know? A pearl recorded the fate of a dusty person, how could it be lost so easily?”
When Zhang Zi heard this, he pursed his lips and retorted disapprovingly,"
"Heh, I thought it was something big. Is there a need to make such a fuss? Since I'm in charge of this box of beads, I'll have the final say. The fate of these 1,000 dust people is in my hands. I told them to go east, but they didn't dare to go west. I told them to work like mules, but they didn't dare to disobey me. Once they do something that I don't like, I'll tell them to get lost or die…"
"No! I won't allow you to do this! I can't let you trample on a life!”
Wei Zi said seriously. His straightforwardness made Zhang Zi unable to get off the stage for a moment. The pretty boy's face turned purple as he muttered in a low voice.
Wei Zi seized the opportunity to mock,
"F * ck! When you become the leader, you'll be able to spit out lotus flowers--the words that come out are even more beautiful than flowers! Hmph, what's so great about it! Aren't they just dozens of pearls?"
"No, it's not just a matter of a few pearls! Any kind of life was a miracle! Every life in the Far Valley Nation is formed by billions of dust particles working together in a complicated and unique way. Every life only comes once, so we should cherish it! Although the Dust Men are at the lowest level, their lives are the same as ours and should be respected! Their lives are decided by them, and the world is made by themselves…"
Wei Zi was stunned for a moment and paused. He didn't expect himself to blurt out this sentence---" The world is wide and narrow because of self-creation." This was the first sentence on the note.
"The vastness and narrowness of the world are all due to self-creation! The life of every Dust Man should be decided by himself…"
"Do you mean that we can only stand by and watch? Then what do we manage?"
"Also, when a Dust Man dies, will the pearl that represents him disappear?”Someone asked.
"Then tell us, what should we do so that those pearls won't disappear?”
"That's right. The lives of the Dust People are so fragile. How can we manage them?”
"Didn't that cream man give you a note? What is written on the paper?"
"This…"
Wei Zi couldn't answer for a moment. Their questions had completely stumped him!
He silently recited the words on the paper in his heart:
"The vastness and narrowness of the world are all due to self-creation. Time is long, but busy people naturally hasten; Heaven and earth are broad, but humble people naturally narrow; Wind, flowers, snow and moon are originally idle, but those who are tired and busy are naturally redundant.”
In fact, he had already memorized these words, but he knew very well that even if he recited them a hundred or a thousand times, he would not be able to answer the questions raised by everyone.
Under everyone's expectant gazes, in order to eliminate his embarrassment, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and take off his school bag. He placed it on the table beside him, then reached into his school bag and slowly fumbled around. When he took out the note, he accidentally brought out the stone. He casually placed the stone on the table and unfolded the folded note in his hand.
When everyone saw him take out the note, they were all " stunned ". They thought that there was an answer on the paper, so they all quieted down and looked up at him, waiting for his answer.
Only Zhang Zi's gaze fell on the stone on the table. The stone suddenly flashed with a blue light and emitted a diamond-like glow. His slightly narrowed eyes widened in surprise.
When he looked again, the blue light was no longer there! Zhang Zi glanced at the people around him. They were all looking at Wei Zi and didn't see the light from the stone.
Like a fly biting a cracked egg, Zhang Zi stared at the stone without blinking, his heart surging with the desire to possess it.
He glanced at Wei Zi from the corner of his eyes, then moved closer to the table. When no one was paying attention, he quietly grabbed the stone in his hand, then pretended to scratch the itch and stuffed the stone into his trousers.
Suddenly, a low and angry female voice drifted over."Who took Lei Zhu?"
