Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 372 God

After a long day of driving, I need to take a good rest, and I haven't seen my beautiful wife for half a year, so it's time to revisit the relationship between husband and wife.

"Huh?" Lu Bu, Chu Nan, Liu Ye, and Lu Lingqi, who were about to get up to rest, suddenly felt moved. Lu Bu frowned slightly, and led the three of them outside the government office.

Outside the government office, at some point, a large number of people gathered, men, women, old people, children, a large black mass, these people surrounded the entire government office, it was strange that so many people gathered in one place, but There was no noise at all. After seeing Lu Bu and the others come out, an old man knelt tremblingly, proclaiming the God of War, and knelt down to Lu Bu.

Many people saw the scene where Lu Bu led three thousand cavalry to sweep away the monsters during the day. Those desperately numerous monsters were being harvested like weeds in front of Lu Bu.

In the simple concept of these people, Lu Bu is the god of war sent from heaven to save them!

As if in a chain reaction, the people around knelt down silently, worshiped Lu Bu, and followed the old man to call the God of War.

"What happened?" Lu Bu frowned and looked at the helpless county magistrate beside him, a little surprised.

"My lord, the people of Yulou have received your life-saving grace. I know you are leaving, so I am here to thank you! I also... want to ask you to stay and protect them." The county magistrate smiled wryly.

As a high-spirited person in this era, he naturally understood that Lu Bu had divine power and the power of a military strategist, not some divine power. Of course, to ordinary people, it was undoubtedly divine power.

Chu Nan took a few steps back, leaned against the doorpost of the government office, and looked down at these people, with a bit of pity and disgust in his eyes.

He naturally sympathizes with the suffering of these people, but he also hates this kind of moral kidnapping. I don't know if anyone organizes it. If there is, then this person should be killed!

Lu Bu obviously didn't realize this. Seeing these people bowing down to him devoutly, all he felt was pity. After all, being needed is also a kind of human need.

Just looking at those people begging Lu Bumo to leave, Lu Bu obviously has no experience in dealing with this kind of thing. After all, they bow down to him, so they can't drive them away.

"Everyone, Marquis Wen will not give up on everyone, but there are still many cities that are suffering from monsters and beasts. Marquis Wen is not the lord of this city, and the entire Central Plains will be in charge!" Chu Nan stood up, with great aura surging in his chest, Although the sound wasn't too loud, it enveloped the area and ensured that everyone could hear it.

"But if the monsters attack again, how can we resist?" An old man mourned.

"In today's battle, the powerful monsters have been killed, and the rest are not enough to break the city! The imperial court will also issue policies against monsters as soon as possible to ensure that the people will not be harmed by monsters." Chu Nan said in a deep voice.

"We don't believe in the imperial court!"

"Marquis Wen is the Hussar General of the imperial court and Minister of the Ministry of War. If you don't believe in the imperial court, don't you believe in your God of War?" Chu Nan frowned.

"Marquis Wen, at this time, we should protect Wan Min." Liu Ye moved closer to Lu Bu and said in a low voice.

Lu Bu nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, everyone, since all the people support me, I should be the master for you, and I will definitely not sit back and watch the monsters cause harm to the people!"

"Go back." Chu Nan shouted: "Marquis Wen will not give up on any common people!"

As he said that, he gave the county magistrate a wink, and the county magistrate quickly arranged manpower to persuade the gathered people to leave.

Lu Bu brought everyone back to the government office, sighed, and suddenly asked Chu Nan, "Zi Yan, do you think there is really a god in this world?"

The immortal has seen a half-disabled one, but the god has never seen one.

Chu Nan thought for a while and said, "Yes, father-in-law is now a god to Yu Lou."

"Zi Yan, don't make jokes." Lu Bu shook his head and looked at him and said, "I'm talking about the real god."

"I think of one person, the God of Medicine." Chu Nan thought for a while.

"The God of Medicine?" Lu Bu asked in surprise.

"That's right, God of Medicine, he is actually a merchant from another county. At the beginning, he sold some yang-strengthening medicines, but the business is not so good, and life is not good."

"How could this person be the God of Medicine?" Lu Bu frowned. How could a merchant become the God of Medicine?

"Father-in-law, please listen to my son-in-law." Chu Nan recalled: "The people in their county suffer from a disease. If there is no medicine to treat it, they will not live for three months, but the medicine does not completely eradicate it, it can only suppress it. The disease does not occur, and therefore, this medicine is very expensive in the local area, and what ordinary people save for a year can only last for one month. After one month, if you don’t continue to take it, the disease will relapse.”

Lu Bu and others were baffled, but Chu Nan always had an inexplicable power in telling stories, which made people feel immersed in it.

"The God of Medicine was just a drug dealer at the time, but he didn't know how to run a business, and his life was poor. His wife ran away with others, and his father was seriously ill in bed, waiting for someone to see a doctor."

"It's a coincidence that at that time, people from the same village found him and told him that the medicine needed for that disease is actually not expensive. As long as there is a prescription, if you get the medicine, it will be a hundred times cheaper than the medicine on the market!"

"Father-in-law knows that this kind of thing is usually done jointly by the local wealthy family and officials, in order to use it to gain the favor of the people in an open and aboveboard way. Although he does not do well in business, he also knows this reason. He didn't want to provoke it, but Looking at the old father who is seriously ill at home and the son who has lost his mother, he finally decided to take the risk!"

"Hmph!" Lu Bu snorted coldly when he heard the words. At this time, he felt that Chu Nan's new policy was too right.

Chu Nan did not comment on this, and continued: "Sure enough, as the fellow villager said, if you just take the medicine according to the recipe, the medicine itself is not expensive anywhere, as long as you are not afraid of hard work, it will be more than a hundred times cheaper?"

"So, he brought the medicine back and became the God of Medicine?" Lu Bu frowned, what kind of god is this?Just a speculative trader.

"Father-in-law, please listen to me." Chu Nan said with a smile: "In the beginning, he really only wanted to make money, relying on these medicines, and sold them at a price twenty times lower than the market price."

"What's the difference between him and those tyrants?" Lu Bu asked disdainfully.

"The value of business lies in this. Without him, these people can only wait to die or eat their entire family. If no one does this, the people will not even see hope." Chu Nan has a different view on this. , If there is not enough interest, who is willing to take risks.

"Afterwards, his life gradually improved. His father recovered from his serious illness, and his wife returned to him. The family was complete." Chu Nan laughed.

If you come here, at best, it's just a story of a small businessman seizing the opportunity to make money. To a big man, this kind of person is just a businessman, and no matter how rich he is, he can't get on the stage.

But everyone here has a bad feeling, so the tyrants and officials will allow this kind of thing to happen?
"But the good times don't last long." Chu Nan said with a smile: "This matter has been done for a long time, so it is naturally difficult to hide it, but the first troublemaker is not Hao Qiang, but someone who is jealous of this business, looking for him secretly, asking him Naturally he was unwilling to hand over the prescription, but he also knew that this matter would not be kept secret for long, besides, he already had a lot of money at that time, and he had owned a hundred acres of fertile land, so there was no need to fight against Hao Qiang for this, hesitating After a long time, I returned the prescription to that fellow countryman, stirring up his little rich family."

"About two years, his life is getting better and better, but many of the sick people in the city went bankrupt because they couldn't take the medicine, or died directly, and the person who gave him the medicine also died, because he got it disease, will do everything possible to find a prescription."

"Then why didn't he do it himself?" Lu Bu frowned.

"He's afraid of offending officials and powerful people!" Chu Nan said with a smile, "Not everyone has the courage to take risks. In contrast, the first requirement of the God of Medicine is to have the courage and courage to face danger. !"

"Before his fellow countryman died, his wife begged hard, and the God of Medicine was moved with compassion. Unfortunately, it was too late. The fellow countryman died, and he died with great pain."

"Those people in the city who used to regard him as the god of medicine in the past are extremely indifferent and even hostile when they meet him!" Chu Nan sighed and said, "Maybe it is because of uneasy conscience, or it may be out of pity in the heart, or Out of guilt for his friend, he resumed his old business, this time, he sold it at cost price, and after including the freight, he actually lost money.”

Lu Bu's expression softened, and he still looked like a human being.

"Because the price of the medicine was cheaper and he saved more people, the people supported him again, but because of this, he offended the government office and the powerful, and wanted to put him to death for the crime of selling counterfeit medicine, but that day Just like today, the people surrounded the gate of the government office, the county magistrate saw that he had committed public outrage, and finally sentenced him to three years in prison, on the day he was imprisoned, all the people respected him, and because of his selfless help to others, he was named the God of Medicine."

"However, the problem was still not resolved. Some people went to the court to complain. In the end, the court came down to conduct a thorough investigation and found that the disease was caused by the local tyrants who put drugs in the water source. After the truth came out, the county magistrate was escorted back to Beijing. His home was confiscated, and the chief messenger beheaded him."

The story seems to have ended here, but I always feel that something is missing.

Liu Ye fell silent, and Lu Bu frowned, "What about the God of Medicine?"

"Three years later, I was released from prison after serving my sentence. When I was in prison, all the people sent me off, but when I was released from prison, no one greeted me." Chu Nan sighed.

"Why is that so!?" Lu Bu frowned and said, "He is the one who pleads for the people!"

"Because the illness is cured, he is no longer needed." Chu Nan said with a smile: "Gods only exist when people need them. When people no longer need them, they will naturally cease to be gods. Therefore, in mythology, The god of plague and drought."

Lu Bu frowned: "Is this a god?"

"Yes, God must have courage and courage, a heart of compassion, a willingness to dedicate and sacrifice for others, and be prepared to face the consequences of being forgotten." Chu Nan nodded and said: " Father-in-law now knows why the people want father-in-law to stay so much?"

Lu Bu nodded, feeling a little uncomfortable, this man is really ruthless.

"However, we can take advantage of our father's prestige in this book. The god of war... is really suitable for my father-in-law. Since they need it, why not let him be the folk god of war?" Chu Nan looked at Lu Bu who was feeling a little depressed and said with a smile: "This will help my father-in-law quickly Accumulate popular popularity and make people all over the world support father-in-law even more, even if father-in-law is no longer needed one day, father-in-law is still the god of war!"

The biggest difference between Lu Bu and the God of Medicine is that he holds power, so he can always be the God of War. Even if he is no longer needed in the end, he will not be forgotten as a powerful minister.

The reason why I said so much is just to let Lu Bu see the essence of God clearly, and don’t be kidnapped by these people’s morality. Everyone can think that Lu Bu is the God of War, but Lu Bu has to understand it clearly. At the critical moment, he was kidnapped because of morality. lead away.

Lu Bu nodded silently, but there was something inexplicable in his eyes...
