Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Human Heart Is Flesh Grown
Zhang Yue, who is in Daxiangguo Temple, is also missing his parents and relatives.
At this time, he was bored writing and drawing on a piece of paper under the oil lamp, but his heart had already drifted out of the clouds. On the one hand, he wondered where his father Zhang Zuo had run away at the critical moment, and on the other hand, he wondered if his mother's asthma had improved, and on the other hand, he couldn't help but think about some relatives who left him alone-although he was not resentful at first, it didn't make much sense to be cynical all the time, after all, isn't he a good person at the moment?
"Third brother, third brother!"
Hearing this familiar voice in his ears, Zhang Yue came back to his senses. Seeing Zhang Qing holding Zhang Yi's hand and standing in front of him with a smile, with a helpless face full of autumn marks and amber, he didn't know that the two big girls couldn't stop these two little aunts and grandmothers, and their heads suddenly got bigger.
I don't know if the elders are not there or if they don't care about those rules when they go out, the sisters Zhang Qing and Zhang Yi are extremely difficult now, and they almost don't dress up as men to go outside to find out about the situation of those refugees. Although it is glad that they are no longer miserable and miserable, it is not an easy task to deal with the endless problems of the two of them.
So, he could only smile and say, "Is there anything wrong with the eldest sister and the second sister?" ”
"I can't come to you if I'm fine?" Zhang Qing rolled her eyes angrily, and saw that the paper on the table was densely drawn with patterns and words, she couldn't help but curiously lean up to take a look, and even frowned, "What are you writing on this ghost-like talisman?" ”
Zhang Yue glanced down, only to find that he had unconsciously written a lot of simplified Chinese characters, and his face suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He snatched the piece of paper and was about to crumple it up, but after a closer look, he stopped—it turned out that what he had just written on the paper was some of the situations that the refugees had said, including where the water was flooded, where bandits were rampant, where the officers and soldiers went to suppress it, and whether there was a new population in front of the Great Xiangguo Temple and the grain stock in the temple.
"Third brother!"
was drunk by Zhang Qing like this, he quickly crumpled the piece of paper into a ball and held it in the palm of his hand, and then folded up his spirit and began to deal with Zhang Qing's angry questioning. Even after coaxing this eldest sister who is sometimes a lady and sometimes a witch, he greeted Zhang Yi again, and naturally gained two sweet smiles.
However, the two girls had only been gone for a short time, and his mood that had just improved was ruined by a certain big man who rushed in outside.
"Third Young Master, there's a fight at the porridge shop outside! The gang drove away a family of three who came to take refuge with their children, but the man was ruthless, one hit a dozen of them, and after a while, his head was already bleeding, and I easily settled both sides! Peng Shisan shouted these in one breath, and then slammed his fist on the corner of the desk, and said angrily, "That little girl is so hungry that she faints, and none of those adults will take a star out of the bowl, it's really fucking infuriating!" ”
As early as when he decided to distribute food according to the number, Zhang Yue thought that this situation might occur, and he was silent at this moment. It is true that the granary of Daxiangguo Temple is sufficient, but the daily consumption of food by hundreds of monks is a terrifying number, plus the consumption of these rich refugees who live in it and those people outside the mountain gate, it is good that the surplus grain can last for more than ten days.
After being silent for a long time, Zhang Yue asked with difficulty, "How did you settle things?" ”
"Of course I beat some people, and then I filled a bowl full of porridge for the little girl......"
"You...... You're ......."
Zhang Yue, who has always regarded Peng Shisan as a mentor and friend, has always been ridiculous and playful, but at this time, he suddenly became annoyed: "Even if you want to help her, can't you think of another way, can't you quietly bring people in?" You think that those ruthless and unrighteous guys outside are eating the food of Daxiangguo Temple for nothing, wrong, of course, they drank porridge that didn't cost money, but they also ......"
At this point, he couldn't say any more—not that it was inappropriate to say such an old-fashioned thing for his age, not because he was so angry and incoherent, not because there was a woman present now—he just felt that it was really pointless for him to point at Peng Shisan and get angry. With this kung fu, he might as well hurry out and see if there is any big mess.
So, almost without thinking about it, he rushed out like a gust of wind.
"What the hell is going on?"
was scolded inexplicably, and half of the scolded owner actually left, and now Peng Shisan suddenly became more depressed and depressed. He can kill seven in and seven out on the battlefield, and he can fight bravely with wounds all over his body, but in the face of a roadblock like the flood that can't be beaten, he can't be depressed. At this time, he clearly did a good deed and was scolded, what a good reason!
"This noble son is really difficult to serve, it's a big deal for Lao Tzu to go back to Nanjing City!"
Peng Shisan scolded and stepped out of the threshold, but saw Du Zhen standing outside, and his face suddenly drooped.
He himself is a big old man, and he has always looked down on those sour literati, who knows that he can talk to Du Zhen, who has a cold appearance, but he can talk very well, and he is already the old Du Lao Peng's screaming nonsense. At this time, thinking that his embarrassment just now was likely to be seen, his old face was flushed, if he didn't know that Du Zhen was a person who asked from the university, I was afraid that he would open his mouth to scold his mother.
"Lao Du, don't I just look at that little girl and feel pitiful, why do you say that the third young master has such a big temper? They are all good disciples you teach, and what do you say about being young and old, I think I'm a little nervous! ”
Du Zhen just said indifferently: "People's hearts are flesh and blood, if it is in normal times, don't say that you protect such a family, it is not a big deal to protect many people, but now it is different." Under the catastrophe, people's hearts are unstable, and those people outside can only maintain the current order based on absolute fairness, you are so strong to intervene, if no one comes forward, maybe someone will overturn this great Xiangguo Temple, do you believe it or not? ”
Peng Shisan suddenly shook his head into a rattle: "Those mud legs? I don't believe it, it's a rebellion! ”
"Don't forget, a few days ago, someone overturned a carriage claiming to be from the Xin'an Palace!" Seeing that Peng Shisan ate the turtle all at once, Du Zhen's cold face showed a slight sneer, "I don't dare to rebel against these people, but the reason why those rabble dared to take advantage of the fire to rob before was nothing more than because they didn't blame the public, and the government's measures and relief were delayed, and no one knew what the future would be, so they let it go." If you don't believe me, how about we go out and see? ”
Peng Shisan didn't know that Du Zhen had been a Hanlin in the imperial court, and he was stunned by his trick at this time, so he nodded instinctively. However, when he followed Du Zhen to the bell tower next to the mountain gate, and when he saw the scene of a pot of porridge outside, he immediately gasped.
When he beat people just now, those guys who bullied the soft and were afraid of the hard were all afraid of it, why was it so fierce at this time? At this moment, he heard Du Zhen's faint words coming from the side.
"People's hearts are flesh and blood, but if there is a great change, the most terrible thing in the world is also the human heart."
