Chapter Thirty-Eight: Into the City
The east is slightly white, and the sun is about to shine out. At this time, www.biquge.info the fire, which had burned almost all night, had also been extinguished, and there were only a few sparks that flickered in the wind.
The original gorgeous official inn, at this moment, it seems that there are only a few red pillars full of black smoke and the carved dragon on the pillars, which still retain the grandeur of the past. Those dazzling marks are also a reminder of how ridiculous it is at this moment.
Once the gorgeousness peels off, whether it will be the same is only a joke. If you add a little nostalgia, it will be even more desolate and pathetic.
The thin and tall Yacha looked at the official stack who was almost only in ruins, and sighed uncontrollably, his face was full of hatred and sorrow. Shaking his head, pausing his feet, patting and rubbing his hands, his eyes almost drooped, his eyebrows furrowed, the corners of his mouth crooked to the side, and he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but after all, he still sighed and looked at the small building with only one floor.
"If you sigh so much that you can get it back to its original form, then you continue to do so. Li Muqi slowly walked to the side of the tall and thin man and said, "If you can't do this, sighing so lowly, you're just torturing yourself." ”
"I really don't know what to do at this time?" said the tall and thin Yacha with a sad face, "What do you think?"
"I can't get it back," Li Muqi said lightly, "What has been lost has been lost, who will have that ability to change it back to its original appearance." All I know is that if you keep doing this, not only that, but you can also fall. ”
"Me?" the tall and thin man thought quietly for a long time before he came to his senses. He bowed his hand and said, "Thank you, sir, for your advice." If it weren't for Mr.'s words, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to jump out of such a predicament. ”
"Your Excellency," Li Muqi smiled and said, "Your Excellency will definitely think of this reason, and I need to speak." ”
There are many things, as long as you calm down, you will definitely understand the reason, and you will definitely be able to understand the key to it. However, it is difficult to calm your mind and think seriously. People are always impulsive and calm, especially when things are sudden, it is even more difficult to be calm, even without distinguishing between truth and falsehood, good and evil.
"If it weren't for this fire, I'm afraid it would take many years to renovate," Li Muqi said with a smile as he looked at the tall and thin Yacha, "Don't you think so?"
"Hmm..." The thin and tall Yacha was suddenly stunned when he heard Li Muqi's words. However, he soon understood the deep meaning of Li Muqi's words, and said with a smile, "As Mr. said, it will take a long time, and it may even be full of gray hair." ”
"This fire..."
"This fire, it's really wonderful, it's wonderful. ”
Looking at the greedy look on the face of the thin and tall Yacha at this time, Li Muqi couldn't help but sigh in his heart: If it weren't for their greed, how could he have a chance? If it weren't for their greed, how would he make arrangements? No matter how greedy they are, as long as there are tens of thousands of people in their hearts, it will be a blessing, and if there are only interests in their hearts, there are no people, but only a harm to the people, a disaster to the court, and a disaster to the world. I couldn't help but sigh again. Liang Jiufang said, "I don't know what the adults do to those hungry people?"
"Hungry people?" the tall and thin man shook his head and sneered, "I think it's a group of mobs, how can it be a hungry people?
"A hungry or a mob is a word from an adult. Li Muqi said with a smile. He knew what the slender and tall yacha was thinking and thinking, and looked at the joy floating on the thin and tall yacha's face, and said slowly, "If the adults want to ask for credit, I think those robbers are enough; ”
"Oh?" said the tall and thin Yacha, full of suspicion, "what do you mean by that?"
"Sending those robbers is enough to show the merits of adults, if it..." Li Muqi slowed down a little, and said, "If there are dozens of mobs in the mouths of adults, I am afraid of the merits of adults, there will be some..."
"How's that?"
"Your Excellency remembers. This year is not a good year,"
"So what?"
"Finally, there are hungry people everywhere," Li Muqi couldn't help but move his gaze to the dozens of ragged people, his eyes were full of pain and said, "If you treat them as a mob and escort them to the county government, you will only embarrass the county government;
"It's my credit, how could they be. The thin and tall Yacha looked suspicious, "Will they be rewarded for their merits?"
"Such a natural disaster will inevitably give rise to public resentment," Li Muqi shook his head and said, "At this time, it is not to arrest the so-called mob, but to appease." If there is a mistake, I am afraid that it will shake the entire court at that time, why don't you think about it?"
"Hmm..." Although the tall and thin man still didn't fully understand it in his heart, he thought of a few key points, and said softly, "What will happen then?
"Why don't you leave them behind and ask for merit in a book. ”
"What does this mean?" said the tall and thin Yacha even more puzzled, "What will you ask for?"
"Have you forgotten that this place needs to be renovated," Li Muqi said with a smile, "Since it needs to be repaired, it will definitely need manpower." And they are the most suitable people to choose. ”
"Oh?" said with a skeptical look on his face, "how can they be the most suitable candidates?"
"Have you forgotten what you said about me?" Li Muqi looked at the expression on the thin and tall face and said with a smile, "At this moment, they are mobs in the eyes of adults, and adults can just give them a chance to make meritorious service and atone for their sins, and they will definitely feel the affection of adults and stay here; In this way, the adults will be rewarded. ”
"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. The thin and tall Yacha smiled, "They are really the most suitable candidates." Thin and tall, he bowed his hand and said with a smile, "If it weren't for the words of the king, I would almost lose such a work." ”
The sun completely covered the land, and only a few black shadows swayed in the wind and fled under the trees. Dark shadows don't like light, and if there is no light, darkness can swallow everything.
The wind wafting in the air, cracked, without a trace of moisture, as dry as the earth at this time, without the slightest pity. God is so ruthless, so ruthless, and so cruel. Looking at the people beneath your feet, the pain is so. What sin have they to be tormented like this? Being alive is already a kind of torture for them, so why add such suffering.
Looking at the cracked earth, Mu He's eyes swirled again, and a crystal teardrop finally rolled down and landed on the placket of her clothes. With teary eyes, they looked at several old people, and they were digging the roots of the tree with a pair of fleshy palms, and only the skinny hands were full of blood at the moment, but they never stopped, still digging hard, gouging...
"They don't need these things, they're just a pile of waste at the moment. Li Muqi looked at the pile of broken silver that Mu He took out, shook his head and sighed, "These things can't solve their current needs." The so-called things that are needed are the things that can help them at the most critical moment, not the things in your eyes, but the things they need. ”
"Then what do they need at this moment?" Mu He looked at Li Muqi and said, "Could it be that these things are useless to them?"
"No," Li Muqi said, shaking his head, "it's just that they don't need it at the moment." These are the things they need most at the moment. ”
Looking at the bag of dry food in Li Muqi's hand, Mu He smiled, "Sure enough." ”
What is good is not to give others what they think is the best, but to give them what they need most, to help them what they need most, and to solve their most urgent problems.
Looking at the figure of Mu He talking to those old people, Li Antong's eyes were covered with a layer of tenderness, and the corners of his mouth were raised in an arc, which could hang a gourd. The gentle eyes seemed to be a pool of water. Reflecting Mu He's smile, it also reflects her face, and it also reflects Mu He's figure. At this moment, in Li Antong's eyes, there was only Mu He's figure, and there was nothing else.
Weizhou City was originally a prosperous place and a rich place. At this moment, all that is reflected in front of everyone is countless desolation and endless sorrow. The corners of the streets, the alleys, and the corners of the walls were full of hungry people with sad faces; on the dirty arms, there was only a thin and almost dry skin on them; the luster in the eyes was almost completely gone, and only the last trace of gasping remained; the bones on the face were clearly visible, and every edge and corner seemed so obvious; how could the clothes on the body be called clothes, they were a pile of ragged strips of cloth tightly put together, barely covering the body; there was not a single pair of shoes on the feet that were not torn, nor a pair of them were clean; the toes exposed in the air were not only covered with mud but also many scars; the bodies were curled together or leaning against the cold corners, or leaning on the almost dead trunk of a tree, chapped lips, up and down, as if speaking, but not a single sound can be heard.
Maybe they're praying, they're praying, they're praying to heaven, they're praying for tomorrow.
If the heavens had eyes, how could they end up like this? What is the difference between tomorrow and today?
If there is no hope in the heart. How can you wait until tomorrow? Hope is tomorrow, where is the hope of today? Always hope, and unwilling to work hard for tomorrow, tomorrow will only be disappointed.
Li Muqi couldn't bear to look at it anymore, afraid that the corners of his eyes would be wet with tears. At this time, he must put away all his mercy, and only then can he save them from this situation. He is the hope in their hearts.
Only people can change the status quo, and only people can create miracles.
