Fast Travel Absurdity Sutra

Chapter 192 The Great Injustice in the Period Literature (21)

Lantian squatted down lightly, his slender fingers gently stroking the slightly rough bricks and stones at the edge of the pit, with a barely perceptible concern in his eyes.

After explaining the location and purpose of the secret pit to the three people in detail, she slowly stood up. The tired look on her face was dispelled by a smile as warm as the sun, just like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, rippling layers of warm ripples.

"Every teacher,"

Lantian's voice was soft and firm, and his eyes slowly swept over Ma Pingyuan, Yin Hong and Li Haixin.

"This world is a mess, but aren't we all struggling in it? We're all in this together, so isn't it only natural that we should help each other?"

She paused slightly, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes.

"And I know clearly in my heart that you have all been wronged and are just victims of this chaotic world."

At this point, a spark of hope ignited in Lantian's eyes, and his voice unconsciously rose a few degrees.

"So, everyone must cheer up! Believe that this dark sky will eventually clear up, and the light will always penetrate the haze and reveal the sun!"

"The clouds have cleared and the sun has appeared..." Ma Pingyuan murmured to himself, his voice was low but seemed to have great power.

Yin Hong and Li Haixin couldn't help but tremble, as if they were hit by an electric current. The eyes of the three of them instantly focused on Lantian.

In those eyes that were originally dim, full of vicissitudes and despair, there was a flicker of light in an instant, as if a lonely boat that had been drifting in the endless darkness for a long time saw the faint lighthouse in the distance, with a bit of disbelief in its eagerness, and full of desire for hope.

After a long while, Yin Hong sighed deeply, his voice trembling and sad.

"Zhou Tian, ​​you don't know. This disaster came out of nowhere. We old guys were immediately thrown into the abyss. Those children and grandchildren who we usually treat like treasures..."

At this point, his voice choked and his eyes reddened slightly.

"They ran faster than rabbits, distancing themselves from us in the newspapers, fearing they would be implicated. We felt like we were being stabbed in the heart."

Li Haixin also took over the conversation, with a wry smile on his face:

"That's right. We've worked diligently all our lives for our families and our careers, but in the end, this is what happens. The betrayal of our loved ones is more chilling than the storms of this chaotic world."

He clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force, as if to hold all the grief and anger in his heart in his hands.

Ma Pingyuan shook his head slightly, looking ahead with empty eyes, as if he was lost in deep memories.

Overnight, the world changed. All the laughter and joy, all the warm family love, were gone.

I was surrounded by cold looks and vicious curses, as if I had fallen into an ice cave and couldn't climb out.

Lantian listened quietly, his eyes full of sympathy and pity.

After the three of them calmed down a little, she said softly:

"Teachers, I understand your hardships, but the more so, the more we must not give up. Just like this pit, although hidden in darkness, as long as we hold on to the hope within, we will one day see the light of day again."

Yin Hong nodded slightly, a hint of gratitude flashing in his eyes:

"Zhou Tian, ​​thanks to you. Your words are like a fire in this cold winter, warming up our almost chilled hearts."

That night, darkness spread endlessly, completely swallowing up their world.

The familiar smiles and kind words of the friends and family who once surrounded me vanished in an instant.

Looking around, all I saw was indifference, contempt and malice. It seemed that the whole world had turned upside down overnight. All the people I used to know had changed their faces, and there was not a single good person to be found.

For those who were once close to them, every look and every word at this moment was like a poisoned arrow, shooting straight into their hearts. They were all cursing with gnashing teeth, wishing that they would disappear from this world immediately so that they could completely sever ties with them.

This feeling of being abandoned by the whole world is like being in an ice cellar under the abyss. The bone-chilling cold comes from all directions, tightly pulling at their souls and eroding their will bit by bit.

They are like a broken boat drifting in the strong wind and huge waves, unable to find the direction and unable to see hope. Their original steel-like desire to survive has been completely worn out in this endless despair and almost disappeared without a trace.

They never thought that under the ruthless impact of the torrent of fate, being exiled to a remote, poor and forgotten mountain village like Liujia Village would become a turning point in their lives.

This desolate little place hidden in a corner was originally a synonym for suffering in their hearts. However, it was here that Lantian came quietly like a ray of dawn that broke through the darkness, bringing kindness and warmth.

Her appearance allowed them to once again feel the light of humanity and the power of kindness in this freezing darkness.

The words "there will always be a day when the clouds will clear and the sun will shine" sounded like a sudden thunder in spring, rippling through their dead hearts and awakening their long-buried vision of the future.

Lantian looked at the three of them and said softly:

"Teachers, although the current predicament is difficult, as long as we grit our teeth and get through it together, this dark time will eventually pass."

Her voice was soft yet firm and powerful, and every word she said was like a seed of hope, sown in the long-barren hearts of the three people.

These few simple words, this warm smile and determined look were like a magical spring breeze, gently blowing through the cold and broken hearts of the three people.

In an instant, they seemed to feel the warmth of a spring breeze on their faces. The warmth flowed slowly, dispelling some of the gloom and despair in their hearts.

Deep in their hearts, there is a seed called "hope", which quietly breaks through the ground at this moment.

They began to realize that as long as they held on to that glimmer of hope in their hearts and did not give up, one day they would be bathed in light again and witness with their own eyes the glorious moment when the sun penetrated the clouds and dispelled the darkness.

As long as there is light in your heart, you will see the light again.

Lantian busily finished packing for them and pulled out some food from the cloth bag he had brought with him: pickles, some steaming sweet potatoes, and some whole-grain bread. "Eat this as soon as possible. It's still warm. I see you haven't eaten much today. It's so cold, and a full meal will give you strength."

Ma Pingyuan and others looked at the food with tears of emotion in their eyes.

In this difficult time, these seemingly ordinary supplies are extremely precious to them.

They took the food and thanked us profusely.

Lantian didn't stay long. After asking Dese Ergou to check that there was no one outside, he quietly returned to his house.

(;′⌒`)

On the edge of Dongyuan City, Liujia Village is like an ancient village sleeping in the long river of time. Farmhouses are scattered among the fields, and smoke rises from the chimneys, outlining a quiet and peaceful pastoral picture.

However, beneath this seemingly calm surface, there are actually undercurrents. The crisis is like a ghost hidden in the dark, lurking quietly and ready to devour anyone at any time.

Lantian, like a star that cuts through the darkness, quietly appears in the world of Ma Pingyuan and the other two.

Regardless of her own safety, she frequently traveled through the night to bring warmth and care to the three people in distress.

Every time she visited, she brought carefully prepared food and daily necessities. The food might not be rich, but in this difficult time, it was as precious as delicacies from land and sea.

She would carefully spread out quilts for them, gently ask about their needs, her eyes full of sincerity and concern.

Under her careful care, cracks gradually appeared in the defenses of Ma Pingyuan and the other two, which had been as tight as ice.

They began to feel the kindness and warmth of human nature, just like a traveler shivering in the cold night who finally saw a ray of warm light. They involuntarily let down their guard and slowly accepted the girl who extended a helping hand to them in times of crisis, regarding her as a ray of hope in the darkness.

However, immersed in this hard-earned warmth, they were completely unaware that a greater crisis was like a surging tide, silently sweeping towards them under the cover of darkness.

Liu Jun, an enemy spy hiding deep in Liujia Village, after repeated confirmation that the person coming was indeed Ma Pingyuan, a sinister arc appeared on the corner of his mouth, and with madness and greed flashing in his eyes, he began to plan a shocking conspiracy in full swing - the sabotage of the power plant.

His sinful eyes were fixed on the direction of the power plant, and he had already seen the ruins and chaos after the destruction.

He knew very well that the power plant was the energy heart of the entire region. Once it was damaged, the chain reaction it would cause would be like a domino effect, causing unimaginable chaos.

By then, the entire Dongyuan City will be paralyzed, plunged into endless darkness and panic, social order will be destroyed, and people's lives will be in dire straits.

Under Liu Jun's coercion and inducement, Xia Jun and Song Xiang were like two lambs being targeted by wolves, their hearts full of struggle and fear.

They knew very well that they were about to embark on a path of sin, and once they took this step, there would be no turning back.

However, facing Liu Jun's cold and ruthless eyes and vicious threats, their legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, but they had to bite the bullet and walk step by step towards the power plant that symbolizes industrial strength and hope.

At this moment, the power plant is like a steel fortress with brilliant lights. The bright lights illuminate the surrounding night sky, and the roar of machines intertwined together, like an exciting industrial symphony, playing a magnificent chapter of human wisdom and strength, and showing the vitality and vigor of the booming development of this land.

The workers were busy and working in an orderly manner at their respective posts, their faces filled with longing for the future and enthusiasm for their work, and they were completely unaware of the impending disaster.

In that huge and busy power plant, Qian Geming and Zhang Shengli were like two poisonous snakes lurking in the dark, having been hiding quietly for many years.

At the beginning, after Liu Jun successfully hid, he was like a cunning and greedy wolf. He began to carefully identify and look for suitable candidates among the many employees of the power plant with his sinister and cunning eyes, intending to develop them into powerful pawns in his evil plan.

After careful selection and long-term unscrupulous enticement and corruption, Qian Revolution and Zhang Shengli were dragged into the abyss of sin and became his loyal minions.

For many years, Qian Revolution has been dormant in the turbine workshop.

The steam turbine workshop is undoubtedly one of the most critical core areas of the entire power plant. Like a strong and powerful heart, it continuously supplies surging power to the entire power generation process and controls the lifeline of power production.

He usually disguises himself impeccably, appearing to be an ordinary, hardworking and simple worker.

He always moves silently around the corners of the workshop, is taciturn, rarely takes the initiative to communicate with others, and minimizes his presence.

However, beneath this seemingly ordinary appearance, there is a sinful heart hidden.

With his extraordinary patience and meticulousness, he familiarized himself with every piece of equipment and every subtle operating procedure in the workshop day after day and year after year, without missing any details that could be exploited.
