In the Hu family's mourning hall, Hu Jingshi, who was dressed in plain clothes, was kneeling in front of the coffin.

He didn't know that it was not his father lying in the coffin, and he still put the paper money into the brazier one by one.

But then, Sun Zhixin walked up and knelt down next to him.

"Brother Xia is gone?" Hu Jingshi asked in a low voice.

"yes."

"If it weren't for the change in my family, I would also like to be the same door as him." Hu Jingshi sighed and asked again: "But, why don't you go?" ”

Sun Zhixin put a piece of paper money in the brazier. He wasn't used to being able to move with only one hand, and his movements were a bit clumsy.

"Practice makes sense." Sun Zhixin said, "Master Hou also said that the truths he talked about may not really be suitable for the current Chu Dynasty, and I think so too." ”

Hu Jingshi turned his head to look, only to see the light in the brazier reflecting Sun Zhixin's face, showing some perseverance.

"There are too many of those statements that are unrealistic to the situation at hand. There are thousands of roads in this world, and after all, we have to find one that is truly suitable for the people of the Chu Dynasty. Sun Zhixin said: "If you want to come out, you can't do it by doing something like a study." On paper, I finally feel shallow, and I never know that I have to do it. So, I thought about it......"

Hu Jingshi asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

"If we want to talk about national democracy and civil rights, we must first enlighten the wisdom of the people. And to enlighten the people's wisdom, it cannot be achieved without decades of work. In the past two days, I have asked many old classmates and friends, and they all said that this matter is absolutely impossible. Still, I want to do it first. Sun Zhixin said.

"If everyone doesn't do it because they know it's difficult, then what's the hope of success? If it takes decades or hundreds of years to do this, then I would like to let these 'tens and hundreds of years' start with me, from today. ”

When Sun Zhixin said this, his eyes became more and more resolute, and he said: "I want to find like-minded people and preach among the people to solve their doubts." Today, too, I have come to bid you farewell. ”

"You're leaving, too?" Hu Jingshi snorted.

He glanced back at the tablet of 'Hu Yingming' and hesitated.

Sun Zhixin had already stood up and said with a smile: "You and I have been friends for many years, so you don't have to say goodbye, take care of yourself in the future." ”

With that, he saluted Hu Yingming's tablet, turned around and walked out.

"Wait!" Hu Jingshi suddenly shouted.

Sun Zhixin turned around and said with a wry smile: "You don't have to persuade me. In the past two days, I have heard too many people persuade me. ”

"I'm not trying to persuade you." Hu Jingshi gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go with you." ”

"But, Master Hu ......"

Hu Jingshi said solemnly: "It is precisely because of my father's matter that I have to do this!" When my father was alive, he had compassion for the people, and he would rather die than join Jiannu. As the Son of Man, I should inherit his legacy, revitalize the country and rejuvenate the country, and not think of my own body. ”

Sun Zhixin said: "Your filial piety has not passed, if you go far away, you will inevitably be criticized in the future." ”

"Filial piety is in the heart, not in the mouth of the world."

Hu Jingshi said, turned his head and knelt in front of the tablet, and asked in a low voice: "Dad, you taught me to read to help the world, if there is a spirit in the sky now, can you tell the child what to do?" ”

Then, he slowly closed his eyes, waiting for an answer.

After a while, when Hu Jingshi opened his eyes again, there was only resoluteness in his eyes......

"Brother Sun, now that there are two of them, why don't we set up a group?"

Sun Zhixin was surprised: "Here and now? ”

"Yes, my dead father is above, and I can witness it to you and me."

"Good!"

……

After a while, Hu Jingshi muttered: "What's the name?" ”

"Do you remember the names that Hou Ye said when he talked about this issue?"

"I want to think about it." Hu Jingshi closed his eyes and thought about it.

In the notebook, Wang Xiao said very casually: "If there are many like-minded people, you can also set up some groups, well, to make an inappropriate analogy, like the Heaven and Earth Society, the Red Flower Society, and there can also be an alliance in the future......

At this point, the conversation was interrupted.

"Heaven and Earth Society?"

"Okay, it's called 'Heaven and Earth Society'......"

-------------------------------------

Cockscomb Mountain.

Wang Jue hasn't had a good time these days, but it's not too bad.

The people of Weifeng Village still have a lot of respect for a 'learned person' like him, but the living environment really makes him unbearable.

Food, clothing, shelter and transportation, everything is cold.

On this day, Niu Lao Er and Zhuge Lao San led a few minions and took Wang Jue down the mountain to sell antiques.

As soon as he set off, Wang Jue complained: "When you kidnapped me up the mountain, you knew how to get me up with a sack, but now you want me to go down the mountain by myself?" ”

Niu Lao Er was stunned and said, "Otherwise? ”

"Anyway, there's a sedan chair." Wang Jue squatted on the ground and said with a bitter face: "My feet are worn out." ”

"My prince, I haven't walked more than twenty steps!"

"You have a lot of rocks on the mountain road."

Zhuge Laosan was impatient, and casually pointed to a minion and ordered: "You carry him." ”

Wang Jue looked at it and saw that the minion was lean and lean, and couldn't help asking, "Is he okay?" ”

As he spoke, the minion had already carried him up, and his strength was terrifying.

"Ouch, you're too stubborn."

Niu Lao Er was impatient and scolded: "Howl again, do you believe it if I slaughtered me?" ”

Only then did Wang Jue shut up.

They had to go to Quyang County in the south, which was quite a long way, and it would take them half a day to walk. After going down the mountain and crossing a small river, Wang Jue began to cry hungry again.

Niu Lao Er and Zhuge Lao San had to take him to Hail Water Village in front to eat noodles.

When the steaming noodles were served, Wang Jue complained again when he saw it: "How to eat this noodle?" It's so good to add some toppings......"

Niu Lao Er was furious and shouted, "Are you finished?!" ”

Zhuge Lao San pulled Niu Lao Er, turned his head and said: "Wang Gongzi, you are a rich and noble person, but you also have to talk about the rules of following the customs, right?" A bowl of noodles with braised boiled noodles will add three extra dollars, and the eight of us will come out, and it will be twenty-four ......."

"Hero, we have brought thousands of taels of goods, so much money?" Wang Jue pushed the bowl in front of him, refusing to eat it.

"What do you think Lao Tzu is doing to make a living?" Zhuge Laosan said angrily, and then lowered his voice and said: "In the past few years, one of the robbers has been poor, and I can't make such an order in a few years, but do you know how many people we have to support in our village?" It's all dragged with a mouth, and the silver is like flowing water......"

"Eat some rotten vegetables on the mountain, and you still abuse me when you go down the mountain?" Wang Jue said: "Isn't it just silver, I'll come out, it's done, right?" Heads back and deducts from my wages. ”

"Your salary?"

"I show you antiques and don't get paid?"

"Nope."

Wang Jue was angry!

He casually pulled off the hairpin on his head and slapped it on the table: "I'm invited, okay hero?" Fill the brothers with toppings, serve some delicious dishes, and buy two wagons......"

Niu Lao Er looked at it and saw that the hairpin was black and not slippery, so he couldn't help asking, "This thing is valuable?" ”

"Moyu's, understand?"

"Hey, what the fuck can hide."

Zhuge Laosan slapped Wang Jue on the head, and scolded with hatred: "You kid, how did you spend your money? ”

Wang Jue said helplessly: "Hero, why don't you understand, there are flowers to earn." Also, the way you make money is not right. For the sake of five hundred taels of silver, you dare to make me laugh at my brother, isn't this guarding the gold mountain and asking for food? ”

Niu Lao Er said: "The deposit is five hundred taels, and it was originally said that there are five hundred taels for good deeds." Not a lot. ”

Wang Jue said: "You sold me the news at that time, and I will give you two thousand taels of silver." ”

"Really?"

"Don't listen to him." Zhuge Lao San said: "We rely on our ability to make money in a down-to-earth manner." In these years, how many people can't earn three taels of silver a year, five hundred taels is a lot. ”

As he spoke, he inserted the ink hosta on the table into Wang Jue's hair, and said, "Since you have joined the gang, Lao Tzu will not hesitate to ask for your things." ”

Wang Jue hurriedly said: "Why did I join the gang?" No, let's eat something good. ”

The surrounding minions also begged: "That's it, the three masters, don't eat for nothing, don't eat ......"

"The big guys in the village are still frugal, why should we go down the mountain to eat toppings?" Zhuge Lao San looked down and said, "Which one wants to open a small stove, which one Lao Tzu slaughtered!" Look at what you are used to. ”

Wang Jue had a bitter face, and helplessly held the noodle bowl and sucked it up.

After a while, Niu Erlao asked the store to add half an egg and throw it into Wang Jue's bowl.

Wang Jue was stunned for a moment, and then listened to Niu Lao Er scolding: "Stop howling, eat." ”

Wang Jue had a bitter face when he grabbed the egg.

"Alas, how can I live the hard life of this bandit......"
