Four Skills for All

Mo Xiu walked into the fireworks shop and was warmly received by the shop owner.

"Brother, are you here to buy fireworks? Daqing is coming soon. Do you need to stock up?"

Mo Xiu didn't quite understand Daqing's statement, and he only found out the whole story after making indirect inquiries.

It turns out that in a few days it will be the time when humans and beasts sign a contract. The northerners regard this event as the victory of humans, the victory of leaders, and the day when peace comes.

On this day, the entire north is like celebrating the New Year, with the whole country celebrating. Many people set off fireworks and firecrackers, and even leaders will take the lead in celebrating.

This is completely contrary to the concept of the Central people. The Central people believe that signing a contract with a beast is not a glorious thing. After all, humans have made concessions and given part of their territory to the beasts as compensation.

What’s more, this contract was purchased with the blood of countless ancestors.

People in central China also commemorate this day, but more often than not they mourn the deceased heroes who have made contributions to mankind.

This is exactly the opposite of the customs of northerners. Northerners may think that central people are pessimistic, and central people may think that northerners only care about having fun.

This is the essential difference between the people in the two regions. The huge cultural differences have caused great differences in the way the two sides communicate and do things. Even if there was an absolute leader like the Supreme in the middle, there was no reason to unify the entire human force.

Mo Xiu listened to the boss's story for a long time, but had no intention of buying fireworks.

The boss became a little anxious as he spoke, and said: "This little brother, I have told you the story, and you also understand the customs, so do you want to buy it or not?"

Mo Xiu nodded and said, "Buy! Of course I have to buy it! Let me take a look first!"

Moxiu walked around the store, round and round.

The boss looked at Mo Xiu not as if he wanted to buy it, but as if he was here to make fun of him. When he was about to ask Mo Xiu to leave, Mo Xiu spoke.

"Boss, are these the only products in your store?"

The boss is now angry when he sees Mo Xiu. He has had such a customer before. If he doesn't want to buy, he won't just tell him directly. He insists on asking questions. In the end, he must be satisfied. Then he pretends to shake his head and leave.

"There are plenty of goods. If you want to buy, the city's fireworks will be in place in half an hour."

Mo Xiu asked with surprise on his face: "Is this true?"

The boss said disdainfully: "Of course it's true, you don't even want to ask..."

Before the boss finished speaking, he saw Mo Xiu picking up the smallest firecracker in the shop, which was for children to play with.

Even if the volume of such things is large, there is not much profit, so there is no need to spend a lot of money.

The boss quickly stepped forward and said: "Little brother, you are not a colleague who is here to cause trouble, are you? I won't sell this thing if you want it in large quantities!"

Mo Xiu said: "Just what I want!"

"What's the meaning?"

"Except for these small items, I want as many fireworks as I want. Let's mobilize all the fireworks now. I'll wait for you for half an hour!"

"Uh... little brother, are you bragging?"

Moxiu took out a card and handed it to the owner of the fireworks shop.

"I can pay first, but I have to arrive within half an hour, and all these fireworks will be set off tonight, and they must be set off in my way!"

The boss took the card and checked the balance inside with the device in his hand. When he saw the number displayed, he was so frightened that he quickly made arrangements. No matter who this little brother was, he was not someone he could offend.

Inside the leader's palace, in a three-story villa near the central area.

Mu Qingyi was in his bedroom, sitting by the window and looking out.

It was already time to sleep, but Mu Qingyi didn't want to sleep. She just looked outside like this, although there was nothing outside except the surrounding buildings.

This is Mu Qingyi's only entertainment after moving here, and it is also the happiest time.

After coming to the north, Mu Qingyi's family management was relatively loose at first. She was allowed to have her own mobile phone.

You can go to and from get out of class alone.

After arriving here, Mu Qingyi realized that it was not his parents who really wanted to control him, but the leaders in the north.

When he was a child, he was able to grow up in the central part of China because of the hard work of his parents and grandparents. Mu Qingyi originally thought that everything in Shuncheng was unfortunate and that his freedom was restricted.

Looking back now, I was so ridiculous at that time. Her parents did not allow her to make friends at that time, in order to protect her from being hurt when she left, and not to do anything extraordinary for her friends, so as not to be criticized by the leaders. pursue.

No matter how unhappy I was at that time, I still had the company of my classmates, the episode in the universe cram school, and... I met Mo Xiu.

The man she thought she would have little chance of interacting with has unknowingly become the most important part of her life.

During her days at Federal College, Mu Qingyi was quite happy. Her parents knew that she was unhappy and did not restrict her freedom too much.

At that time, I could see Mo Xiu's news through others, and I could occasionally chat with Mo Xiu, although I was discovered by my parents several times and was reprimanded.

All changes began with the Thermal Weapons War, when thermal weapons broke out in full force. Moxiu had mentioned it many times in previous phone calls with her.

As soon as the war started, Mu Qingyi tried to contact Mo Xiu, but Mo Xiu didn't notice at the time.

After much tossing and turning, Mu Qingyi finally made what was probably the most willful choice in her life and went to Shuncheng privately to find Mo Xiu.

The Mu family had to apply to the leaders even to leave the Holy City, not to mention that Mu Qingyi also fled the north and went to Shuncheng to participate in the central affairs.

At that time, Mu Qingyi wanted so much to elope with Mo Xiu and not return to the north. At that time, she wanted to stay even more than Mo Xiu did.

But... Mu Qingyi knew the consequences of staying. His parents would be punished by the leaders.

Moxiu will be under unprecedented pressure. Under the pressure from the north, Moxiu may change from a hero to a sinner at that critical moment.

Mu Qingyi knew that she couldn't do that. It wasn't yearning for freedom, it was selfishness. Returning to the north was a decision that was beneficial to everyone except her.

After returning to the north, Mu Qingyi was imprisoned for two full months. During that time, she thought about many things clearly.

Some people are destined to follow the path they will take in the future when they are born, and it is extremely difficult to change.

Mu Qingyi didn't feel lonely in that small room because she had always been so lonely.

Since you choose to violate the rules for Mo Xiu, you will have to bear the punishment for violating the rules.

At that time, Mu Qingyi often talked to himself.

"Everyone has concerns, including people like me, my parents, and Moxiu."

"Moxiu, I believe it! I believe you can change the world, but... you may not be able to change my life!"
