Chapter 944: Asking the world, is it good or evil?

Tianyun was eventually kicked out of the black factory.

Qin Dashan was also severely beaten by the foreman and almost broke his bones. He was almost kicked out.

Although he still lost this job, Tianyun was still very grateful to Qin Dashan for protecting him, and several other companions also did their part... He could only say that he was unlucky and got sick and lost the ability to work at this time.

This is the way the world is. People work hard but are still mediocre until they become dull and numb, and are belittled by people in high positions and eventually despised.

The process of asking for wages was naturally difficult and humiliating, but Tianyun endured it all, nodding and bowing, and saying all the nice things he could, before he took the wages he deserved from the foreman.

In fact, the foreman still showed mercy. The reason why a black factory is called a black factory is not only because the work is tiring and the rules are strict. Those who are driven out of the black factory due to unexpected circumstances generally do not get their wages.

Even if some sick and disabled peasants made some noise, how could they resist the means used by the black factories? Even the government had connections with the black factory owners.

However, although the foreman was cruel, he was not a completely evil person after all. After much hesitation, he still gave Tianyun 70% of the wages despite the cruel rules from above.

When Tianyun was beaten and punished, he not only could not show anger, but also had to express gratitude and look humble, only then could he leave with the wages.

It was as if it was not a reward earned with blood and sweat, but a charity from the leftovers of those in power.

It's ironic, but this is reality.

Before leaving, it was time to finish work and go back to the shack.

Tianyun used the excuse of packing up to return to the shack with his companions. He secretly stuffed half of the wages into Qin Dashan's hands and divided the rest of the wages among several other companions.

"Tianyun, what are you doing? This is your hard-earned money. Besides, you are sick!"

The hideous wound on Qin Dashan's back had not yet healed. He was grimacing in pain and quickly refused to accept it.

The other companions also had complicated expressions.

"Oh, it's our fault... If we had stood up and said a few more words for you, the foreman might have seen our firm attitude and said nothing..."

They felt a little regretful and ashamed of Tianyun's actions at the moment.

In this chaotic world, a poor man with a high fever, weak and helpless, with no relatives or friends, suddenly lost his livelihood and wanted to share his wages with his companions...

They saw that Tianyun was seeking his own death, had given up hope for the future, and was calmly waiting for death to come.

However, no matter how they refused, Tianyun firmly distributed all the wages he asked for to them. Qin Dashan was beaten many times for him. That half of the wages was actually only a dozen copper coins, which might not even be enough to pay for the medicine for Qin Dashan's treatment.

However, this is the only thing Tianyun can do at this moment...

“Life is so tiring…”

"Poor people like us spend our whole lives walking on a tightrope, looking ahead and behind, and being very cautious. We dare not do this or that, for fear that making the wrong decision will harm our entire family..."

"However, natural disasters, man-made disasters, gods, ghosts, demons, and the birth, aging, illness, and death of mortals are too fragile. Any accident can put us in a tormenting hell."

Tianyun had a high fever and his mind was in a mess, but his thoughts were surprisingly clear, as if he was out of this world and commenting on everything.

In his mind, a lofty figure seemed to emerge, dressed in luxurious purple clothes, a silver crown, and his face was exactly the same as his current self...

The Taoist figure looked like a legendary god, overlooking the mundane world below the mountain, laughing at the mundane sufferings and satirizing the seven emotions and six desires as being like the desires of ants.

He himself sits alone on a high platform in the temple, enjoying the incense and worship of the world, and becoming immortal in the misty smoke.

He laughed at the stupidity of the world, who could not see through worldly things and spent their whole lives running around for dirty and distracting thoughts. However, he himself was scheming for the so-called incense, keeping the world in captivity and herding all living beings.

Until an even more 'stupid' young immortal god appeared, innocent and ridiculous, but at the risk of breaking his head and bleeding, he pulled him off the altar and pushed him into the mud of the mortal world...

Only then did I see with my own eyes the world of flesh and blood and touch the mortal world where good and evil are difficult to distinguish.

"Abandoned by all, separated from my family and friends, and struck by a sudden disaster..."

"I seem to have gone through this ever-changing yet doomed life too many times. It's so boring and so gloomy."

"I am very disappointed and don't want to go anymore..."

Tianyun sighed, and a look of intense confusion flashed across his eyes.

Some people in the shack didn't understand Tianyun's words and felt confused, but they heard the sadness and death in his words and sighed.

The path that Tianyun took corresponded to the suffering that the figure sitting high in the temple had brought to all living beings, over and over again.

It's like being trapped in an invisible hand, being punished in an endless cycle.

After thanking Qin Dashan again and saying goodbye to several companions, Tianyun took nothing away and walked out of the black factory alone, staggering.

His body was very hot, as if it was being roasted and burned by a flame.

His body was hot but his heart was cold, because Tianyun knew what he was about to face.

Penniless, alone and helpless, the road ahead is bleak and gloomy. Looking back on the past, I am filled with confusion.

I thought that I would either freeze to death or starve to death in some deserted corner, or be forcibly conscripted by the government and die in a pile of corpses somewhere on the battlefield.

It doesn’t matter... Since you are like a rootless duckweed, why bother about the place where you bury your bones?

A lot of vague memories vaguely emerge in my mind, which are the separations of life and death, and the tearing cries of grief.

If those were all true...what kind of crime had I committed to deserve such endless punishment?

People's lives are already hard enough, how evil can I be to treat them like that?!

Tianyun...Who is Tianyun?

Li...Li...that figure, where are you? Please show up and tell me the answer!

Tianyun's mind was full of random thoughts, and his body was very weak, staggering like a drunk. He stumbled out of the black factory not far away, and suddenly his eyes went dark, and he fell directly to the muddy road in front of the town.

The dirt road is fairly wide and is the main route to a small town not far away.

Before Tianyun's consciousness fell into darkness, he heard a pleasant voice.

"Hey...why is there a person lying on the side of the road?"

"There are bones on the road but no one is picking them up... Has the world become so chaotic?"

The person who was speaking was a woman who sounded not very old, and her voice was filled with the air of poetry and literature.

"It turns out there is still breath..."

"Forget it, forget it. God is merciful. Meeting me means you are not doomed..."
