Chapter 401: Straight to the heart

Xia Xuan's body was reduced to ashes in the fire. When Xiao Jing walked into the fire, there were only a few bones left that had not been completely burned.

He carefully gathered all the ashes together and put them into a makeshift brocade box.

"Brother Xia, Xiao should have taken you home for burial, but the weather is ...... now You don't mind. Xiao Jing shook his head and said, "I also thought about burying you in this beautiful place, but this is a wilderness, and it is too lonely for you to live alone, so you should go with me."

Speaking of which, the Xia family is not your home either. However, if I can take you back, it will be much more convenient for Xiao to worship the deceased......"

As he spoke, he raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, bowed down and bowed three times to the brocade box on the ground, and then strode away.

More than ten days later, an article appeared in the Mirror newspaper.

The attack on the mission was not a palace secret, and there was nothing to taboo, so it was no longer news in the capital. However, people still pay close attention to the report of the Mirror, after all, everyone else is hearsay, and the president of the Mirror, Xiao Da, is the witness to the incident.

As a result, the day's Mirror newspaper was out of stock again:

"People who have not experienced war do not understand the cruelty of life passing away in an instant. If this happens, it's shocking enough to last a lifetime, and you'll wake up in the middle of the night to the horror of the scene that reappears in your sleep.

The author has been on the battlefield and witnessed the familiar comrades-in-arms fall under the enemy's butcher's knife, so I know this.

When the men covered in arrows smiled and swallowed their last breath, when the lifeless soldiers raised their swords and died with the enemy, when the knights resolutely rushed to the enemy line knowing that they would not survive......

You feel sad that you can't do anything about it, and it's not just because they're your brother or friend. As the saying goes, things hurt like things, and even if you are strangers in your life, you will definitely grieve the loss of those lives.

Every human life is unique, and once lost, it can never be recovered.

Human life is the most precious thing in this world. Everyone has grown up under the care of their parents since they fell to the ground, and they have experienced more than ten spring and autumn seasons before they can grow from a baby in swaddling clothes to a young man, and then grow into an adult.

After more than ten years of hard work, in exchange for a Darui person who can fight for the country and work hard in the fields. People in this world are all raised by their fathers and mothers, and they are all living lives that should not be despised and should not be despised .

No one should have the right to arbitrarily deprive others of their lives except Heaven and the Law!

Even though life is so precious, there are still many people who sacrifice their lives and forget their deaths to depict the righteousness in people's hearts with their desperate sacrifices, such as the warriors who defended the country against humiliation, and the literati who died with lofty ideals. They died well, and the sacrifices they made were not in vain.

There is no shortage of such people in the League's missions. Everyone in the world regarded Beihu as a daunting path, but they fearlessly went deep into the grassland, fought wits and courage with the Hu people, who were strong and powerful, and finally succeeded in safeguarding the dignity and dignity of the country, making great contributions to the peace and tranquility of northern Xinjiang, and living up to the expectations and trust of the Son of Heaven.

As far as the country is concerned, they are also heroes who put life and death aside.

However, these capable officials were not lost on the grassland, but they were attacked and killed after the end of their mission, and finally died with hatred.

Many of the dead were other people's sons, fathers, and husbands. Walking on the Huangquan Road, they will not understand: why did they suffer such a catastrophe, why did they lose their lives on the land of Da Rui?

To this day, we don't know who the killer is. Some people say that they are bold bandits, some people say that they are spies of the Northern Hu people, and some people say that they are poisonous to the border people who have a deep blood grudge against the Hu people because they hate the actions of the mission.

Whatever the facts, there were eight innocent people in the mission who lost their lives forever. Six of them were killed in one hit, while the remaining two died of their wounds.

The author has no intention of speculating who is the real culprit in this matter. It's just that the cycle of heaven is endless, and those who despise human life may also have a day when they are despised by others, and those who regard human life as a plaything may also become someone else's plaything, so let's wait and see.

The heroic spirit is not far away, may you bless me for a thousand years and thousands of years......"

After reading a long article, the reader's reaction is very polarized.

Most readers who enjoyed the article burst into tears, grieving at the misfortune that had befallen the mission, and then their hearts were filled with anger at the perpetrators and lamenting the injustice of the world.

Readers who don't like this article are diverse.

Some people think that the Mirror is making a big fuss, and that there are many more officials who die on the post road every year because of bandits, so why are the people in the mission different?

Some people think that this article is full of bookish atmosphere, and the author only cares about expressing his heart directly, and writes the text very vaguely, which makes people tasteless.

More people were disappointed: Lao Tzu has prepared all the melon seeds, benches, peanuts, and rice, so you can show me this?

In Xiao Jing's view, the third type of person represents a considerable part of newspaper readers, and this mentality is really undesirable.

With the continuous development of the media industry in Da Rui, some newspapers have a tendency to entertain the news. Instead of focusing on the event and the newsworthiness itself, they use anecdotes and lace as a news staple as a way to attract attention.

Even if it is an ordinary homicide case, these media will dig up a lot of so-called "clues", and then put a veil of drama on the event through a shocking description:

For example, the family of the murderer and the person killed have always had a disagreement, but outsiders don't know about it. It is rumored that the eldest lady of the A family scolded the eldest of the B family back then, and the eldest lady of the B family was rumored to be a little unclear with a steward of the A family when she was young......

As a result, the two families who were really innocent and hateless in advance were shaped overnight into a feud that "has long been incompatible".

Another example is that when the murderer visited the other party's house a long, long time ago, he broke through the secret affairs of the murdered person's fragrant boudoir, and was beaten out alive, and since then he has held a grudge and waited for an opportunity to take revenge.

Newspapers tend to write a lot about these things, and each piece is written as if the author was on the scene at the time, and the intense or ambiguous descriptions make the reader feel like they are reading a script. How much truth is there in the report? Did it play an important role in the whole affair, or was it just an unrelated sideshow?

No one paid attention at all.

It was precisely because he knew that many people were waiting for the swords, swords, and exciting martial arts, that Xiao Jing wrote a comment in the opposite direction.

As for expressing one's heart directly - if someone dies for him, of course he will reveal his true feelings when he is excited, which is certainly inappropriate, but it is human nature.

No article can be loved by everyone. As long as there are bosom friends in the world, it is enough!

Xiao Jing will also be a little willful.
