Chapter 44: The City Gate Answers

A group of people who were struggling to survive were in front of the city gate, cheering for the sustenance in their hearts, and this cheer also attracted the people in the fort to join in the cheers.

After everyone finished venting the emotions in their hearts, and their hearts slowly calmed down, they all eagerly looked at Lu Shi with their eyes, and looked at the reliance and hope in their hearts.

At this time, a thin pole timidly raised his face and asked Lu Shidao: "Sir, you say, can we survive in this troubled world?" Can those officials keep us alive? ”

The thin body, the blank eyes, the tattered clothes that could not cover the body, and the cherry gun that was twice his height taller, just looked up like that, waiting for Lu Shi's answer with sincerity and longing.

This is just a child who has not grown up, such a child, if in Lu Shi's time, he is still studying in school, and he is still coquettish in the care of his parents, but in this troubled world, in order to survive, he picked up the knife and gun early, and this time he was lucky to survive, and he may be in the next battle, which ditch fell into obscurity and became a pile of dry bones.

Lu Shi stroked the child's head lovingly, looking at the infinite desire for life in his eyes, and his heart was not sour.

What made him so vicissitudes at such a young age, and what made him bear the difficulties and confusions of life so at such a young age? Is it a natural disaster? Or is it a man-made disaster? Or is it this blind, dark God?

Looking at the child's eyes eager for answers, Lu Shi calmed down and said with a faint smile: "I don't know if we can live, maybe we will all die in the process of this struggle." ”

The child's eyes instantly returned to their original grayness, and he lowered his thin head weakly. As the night grew deeper and deeper, thousands of people bowed their heads in front of the entire city gates.

What a sad thing it is to be born hopeless?

Lu Shi took a breath, stroked the child's head again, and said softly: "Child, don't be disappointed, we may all die, but some people are confused, just let God arrange to die, but we are not like this, we have fought, we have fought against this dark government, the evil landlord, and this thief, even if we die, we have lived vigorously, is there any regret about this." ”

Looking at the child who raised his head again, and seeing the hope burning again in the child's eyes, Lu Shi took a deep breath and said: "In this world, if we want to live, we can't rely on any savior, nor can we rely on any immortal emperor, everything can only rely on ourselves, child, be strong, I can't guarantee that you won't die in this struggle, but I promise that I will die in front of you, your uncle, and your brother." ”

When the boy raised his head again, his eyes were filled with endless hope and tears.

There was endless hope and generosity in the eyes of all the people, and all of them clenched the swords and guns in their hands.

"So, sir, if we could live, what would the future be?"

When Lu Shi looked up, he didn't know when, the sky was completely dark, the sky was like black thick ink gloomy and gloomy suppressing everything in this world, and the black and undulating figure of Daqing Mountain in the distance was like countless giant beasts in the sky, crouching there, seemingly jumping up at any time, devouring the lives of all the small people in this world.

A torch was lit, another torch was lit, countless torches were lit, in this dark and oppressive darkness, stubbornly burning their own lives, bursting with warmth and light, although they were weak, but what gathered together was the fierce brilliance.

Although this light is still insignificant compared to this darkness, as if a gust of wind can make him disappear, but now, even now, they are all burning high and passionate, tearing a corner of the dark and dreary tomorrow, Lu Shi firmly believes that with this corner, it will eventually become a prairie fire, and will eventually burn the entire dark world.

Lu Shi pulled the child and walked slowly through the torch light, and in the sound of the beeping firelight, it seemed to be muttering to himself, and it seemed to be speaking to everyone.

"I have experienced a world in which peasants are no longer paid taxes and are subsidized, public servants are paid for their work, children are given free education and no longer worry about hunger, officials are called public servants, not to be powerful and prosperous, but to serve the people with trembling fear, where the people are wronged by the law rather than by the preferences of the superiors, where merchants gather wealth for the purpose of circulation, and where the peasants produce to increase the wealth of society. The government levies reasonable taxes not to fatten the officials, emperors and princes, but to build schools, so that children like you can study, to repair the roads of the whole world so that people can travel conveniently, and to build water conservancy, so that people can have land to plant, work to do, new clothes to wear, and enough food to eat. There everyone is created equal, there is no hierarchy or inferiority, freedom, yes, freedom, and the atmosphere of freedom permeates every corner of the world. ”

In the sound of beeping torches, everyone's eyes shifted with Lu Shi's movement, there was no noise, not even the slightest disturbance, everyone was immersed in the heavenly world outlined by Lu Shi.

"Of course, there are such and such shortcomings in that world, and there are also such and such filths, but after all, it is only temporary, and the people there are constantly fighting in a happy life."

"On such a fairy day, why do you have to fight?" The child asked in a whisper, blushing, tilting his head.

"Because in order to be more free and happy, no matter how close to perfection this world is, it is not really perfect after all, and that imperfect thing needs to be perfected by the thousands of people who have supported and continued history."

"Sir, how long will these days last?" The childish voice is crisp and vibrant.

The child followed behind Lu Shi, his immature voice crisp and energetic, and he asked in a hopeful tone.

Lu Shi stopped, lowered his head, and replied very seriously: "Maybe it will be soon, maybe it will be very long, so long that it will take us to go forward and succeed generations or even more people, but you must firmly believe that that world is real, and that world will definitely be realized." ”

Guo Tianxing strode forward, took Lu Shi's hand, and said sincerely: "Stay, sir, I firmly believe that the world you said exists, but we really don't know how to realize this world, not for us, but for the children you are pulling, for our future generations, please Mr. stay, take us to realize it, for this reason, I will have no regrets even if I abandon my life." ”

"Stay, sir, take us to realize the world you depict, even if our generation can't see it, then we are still willing to fight for it." All of them whispered together to plead.

Yes, it should be stayed, Lu Shi looked at a group of sincere and simple brothers, and at this time, his heart suddenly brightened, and his thoughts that were entangled in his crossing suddenly became clear.

After crossing by himself, he is entangled in all kinds of ways, whether to go to the south or overseas to be a rich man, to watch the world history roll down according to normal development, to see with a cold eye that China has suffered three hundred years of bloody wounds and become a humiliated race in the world, or to rise up and use his insignificant experience and knowledge to change the fate of this China.

In this tide of history, he may become a meteor and a grain of sand and drown in it, but he may also really change the fate of the nation.

Can this really change history? Can a person who has no city in his heart change?

But since I came to Zhang Laoshi's house, I watched the Zhang family step by step towards a crisis and disaster, and in order to repay the Zhang family's kindness, wasn't he being pushed step by step by history or by this helpless society into the tide of the vigorous uprising at the end of the Ming Dynasty and couldn't extricate himself.

Looking at these ragged people, but who have been ignited by their own hope for survival, many of them will die in obscurity or vigorously in this big history, and those who will survive will be only a few, or there will be no survivors at all, but if they can join, with their own half-understood history, will they be able to let these honest and simple people live a lot more?

But do you really have the ability to do so? Is it because of his own arrival that he hastened the death of these people?

Lu Shi was entangled and hesitant, he really couldn't help himself, and his face was dazed and entangled for a while.

"Don't abandon, don't give up." The child suddenly shouted in a childish voice, pausing the spear in his hand, looking at Lu Shi with hope.

"Don't abandon, don't give up." Guo Tianxing clenched his fists tightly, looked at Lu Shi with sincere eyes, and waited for the tangled Lu Shi to make a decision.

"Don't abandon, don't give up." This wave spread like a wave from the inside out, and finally there were bursts of neat shouts, neat swords and guns.

This is a commitment to the oath, and at the same time, it is also a kind of trust and supervision for Lu Shi, the person who initiated the oath.

Stay, since you have come to this world, you can't stand by coldly, since you know these brothers, you should be in the same boat with them, since you have said your vow, you should practice this oath with your life.

Lu Shi suddenly raised his hands high.

The scene suddenly became silent, and everyone waited quietly for Mr. to make a decision.

"I, Lu Shi, will use my life to fulfill my vow, never abandon or give up, go through this dark journey with my brothers, and create an ideal world in our hearts."

Dead silence, dead silence, only the roar of hunting torches.

Suddenly, an overwhelming cheer roared in this bright and dark world.

In these cheering crowds, there are people, fathers and elders, there have been celestial stars, and the three housekeepers of the original Zhang family are also among them.

(Dear book friends, let's come and support my bad work, hehehe.) At the same time, this chapter is written in response to the psychological transformation of the pig's feet in the previous volume, so that the pig's feet can logically lead the brothers to make a revolution, hehe, or that sentence, collect it)
