Origin

For Wu Zhongyuan, the village in front of him is real, but to the villagers in the village and even the dog at the entrance of the village, he does not exist because he is in a state of invisibility. Different spiritual energy cultivation levels have different invisibility effects. , the invisibility of Taiyuan cultivation is a state of near nothingness, not only invisible and intangible, but even dogs cannot smell it.

Wu Zhongyuan looks at the people and things around him with a overlooking mentality. The essence of overlooking is to be condescending and to think that the other person is inferior to himself. This is in conflict with the modesty and low-key advocated by many modern experts. Equality is also conflicting, but what he pursues is truth and essence, not how to better integrate into the group and obtain more benefits.

Looking down is different from being arrogant, nor is it arrogant, but a kind of condescending tolerance and sympathy. If parents can look down on their children, they will not be angry and disappointed because they have done something wrong. After all, they are still young. If teachers can treat their students with a condescending attitude, they will understand their youth and ignorance. If socialites could look down upon the urban women, they would not laugh at their unkempt appearance. After all, they need to run for their lives.

Wu Zhongyuan is eager to observe, but not eager to observe. He cannot observe simply for the sake of observation. That is to compose poems and express sorrow, which is to pretend to moan for no reason. He just looks at whatever he encounters. It is better to have some insights, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't.

In rural areas, there is basically no work before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. What are people doing at this time? Customs vary from place to place. The area we are currently in is the peak period for blind dates. On weekdays, the young and old girls go out to work and never meet each other. When they come back from the Chinese New Year, they all go on blind dates under the instigation of their parents and matchmakers.

Dating activities seem to have become a popular form of entertainment. Everyone enjoys the sense of superiority brought by choosing others, but most people ignore that while choosing others, they are also being chosen by the other person.

It felt good to do whatever he wanted. Wu Zhongyuan followed a young man leisurely through the streets. The villages in Henan were larger than those in most northern provinces. There were at least more than 2,000 households in this village. This young man came out for a blind date. Led by the matchmaker, he looked at several people throughout the morning, but they all failed. Either they didn't like him, or he didn't like them.

During the blind date, there were only two people in the room, a man and a woman. The two could whisper a few words. Wu Zhongyuan could listen "openly" and observe the expressions and tone of both parties at close range. Most of the time, the woman asked questions and the man answered. Most of the questions were in Where to work, how many brothers and sisters are at home, and other insignificant questions. No one will ask the man whether he has a car, a house, or any savings? Because this is an extremely stupid way of talking. It will only appear in mentally retarded jokes. No one with an online IQ will ask so directly. Even a vain woman knows how to ask tactfully and directly ask the man if he has a car. Do you have a house? Do you have savings? It’s the same as saying to the man that I’m looking for scolding. Come on and scold me. Except for the idiot who likes Yi Ge, who would believe this kind of plot.

The essence of many things is actually not beautiful.

Take blind dates as an example. Appearance plays a decisive role. Appearance comes first, followed by family background. In fact, judging people based on appearance is not a problem. This basically follows the survival of the fittest in species reproduction. Those who are good-looking will Strong ones can leave more offspring. As for those from good families, they tend to have higher IQs and more active brains, so they have a higher chance of leaving more offspring.

He was an emperor in ancient times. He had been to many walled cities and met many women. To be honest, there were more beauties in modern times. Of course, there were also good-looking women in ancient times, but they were obviously fewer than now.

The young man Wu Zhongyuan was with was ordinary in appearance, from an average family background, and had never gone to school. The job he was currently doing was not a very good job, and he lacked a clear understanding of himself. He would not look down on anyone who was not beautiful. Therefore, I ran around all morning without success. On the way home, I muttered curses and said that the woman was too realistic.

Wu Zhongyuan grabbed a handful of fried peanuts that came from the woman's bed, and laughed secretly while peeling them. Is there anything wrong with women's reality? Meeting by chance, there is no emotional basis, no sympathy, why should people look up to you, you are not a potential stock, and when you see the mediocrity of your family at first glance, the woman is right. In fact, a large part of the motivation for men to strive comes from women. The more realistic women are, the less men dare to be lazy and mediocre, and the more they have to work hard. From this perspective, it is the reality of women that forces men to work hard, which in turn promotes economic development.

Naturally, this kind of idea cannot be expressed in public, but the fact is indeed like this. Retrograde reasoning, if a woman has no requirements for a house or a car, and does not ask for any betrothal gifts, then the man will be much more relaxed and can squat. Who wants to go out to carry bricks and carry big bags while basking in the sun against a wall? You must know that indolence and indolence are human instincts just like fear of life and death. The essence of diligence and bravery is actually an animal instinct that overcomes this natural attribute.

There are many cars in rural areas now. They are all driven back from other places, and they are not very good. Most of them cost around 100,000 yuan. Occasionally, you can see a few more expensive ones. Since the weather is relatively good today, many people are outside the yard. They brush cars as if they are afraid that the neighbors will not know that they have bought a new car.

There are also young people who gather together in groups, smoking and chatting. Most of the Chinese they smoke is different from the soft Chinese that Wang Xinran smokes. Most of them are hard Chinese, which is cheaper than soft Chinese, but it is not a wage earner. What the class can afford is just to fill the occasion during holidays.

Vanity and comparison are both derogatory terms in modern dictionaries, but Wu Zhongyuan holds the opposite attitude. In his view, vanity and comparison are both driving forces for social development. The essence of vanity is good face. If a person does not have good face, then he will lose face. It’s a very scary thing. You don’t care what others think of you, and you don’t pursue better things. If you have enough to eat and are not hungry, then it’s over. People still have to pursue something, and they still have to be considerate. Son's face.

The same is true for comparison. I am not convinced that your car is better than mine, so I must work hard to make money to buy a better one. Your house is bigger than mine, but I am not convinced either, so I must work hard to make money to build a bigger one. This is actually All are healthy competitions, which will invisibly promote economic development.

Compared with moderate comparison and vanity, complimentary words without desires are more terrifying. You are a rabbit and I am a turtle. You run after you. Anyway, I can’t run away from you. I will just lie down behind. In fact, this kind of dissatisfaction Those who want to make progress are the most deserving of condemnation.

The blind date was fruitless, and the young man went home in frustration. Wu Zhongyuan also followed him. It happened to be lunch time, and the food was already on the table. Since today was already the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the big fish and meat had been cooked before, and there was a lot of food on the table. Some are leftovers.

There are five people in this family, including the husband and wife, two sons and a daughter. The eldest son is the one who goes out on a blind date.

The hygiene in this family's house was very average, and there was an unspeakable smell in the house. Wu Zhongyuan did not stay in the house for long, but went out to go elsewhere. At a glance, he found a chicken coop at the root of the east wall. The stone troughs and water troughs were empty. They must have been busy celebrating the New Year and forgot to feed them.

"Mom, look." The little daughter looked at the yard in horror.

"What are you looking at?"

"Look at our water scoop..."
