Chapter Ninety-Four: There is no greater mourning than the death of the heart
As soon as he saw the people's reaction, Liu He, who had little confidence in persuading the people, suddenly felt that there might be a drama in this matter. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
If they hadn't taken their words seriously at all, I'm afraid that these people would not have been as silent as they are now, and it seems that the conditions they have made are still very attractive to these people who have fled to seek refuge in the ghosts.
Seeing that things had taken a turn for the better, Liu He decided to strike while the iron was hot, "If you have any questions, you can just raise them." ”
As soon as the words fell, a man walked out of the crowd.
Liu He was originally glad that someone had reacted to his words, but when the man approached, Liu He couldn't help but be surprised.
The man was mediocre in appearance and dressed in ordinary clothes, and under the gust of breeze, the sleeve of his right hand actually floated up with the wind, obviously missing an arm.
The one-armed man walked up to Liu He, but he didn't say a word, just stared at Liu He coldly, which made Liu He's scalp tingle for a while.
After a long time, the one-armed man slowly spoke: "What you said is true? ”
Liu He suddenly felt uncomfortable when he heard the cold tone of the one-armed man, he didn't speak, just nodded slightly.
The one-armed man sneered, raised his remaining left arm, and turned to point at the crowd behind him.
Liu He looked in the direction pointed by the one-armed man, and there was a young man on crutches standing in the crowd, the young man looked a little shy, and when he saw Liu He looking at him, he hurriedly lowered his head.
"His father was conscripted, and during the siege of the city, he was sent to the front, and he was killed by dozens of arrows. When the recruiter reported to his mother, he only gave three cents of the original ten taels of bereavement silver, and took his brother away by the way. His brother died even more miserably, on the first day of the battlefield, he was trampled into flesh by the horses of the cavalry team, and the most hateful thing was that the cavalry team was not an enemy at all, and it was not a charge, just a group of deserters who only cared about their own lives. The conscription officer came again, but he still left three coins of silver, and he was going to take him away. His mother knelt in front of the conscription officer and pleaded bitterly, but was kicked to the ground by the conscription officer. He couldn't bear it anymore, so he stepped forward and beat the dog officer, but the dog officer held a grudge, and brought people to his house that day, broke his leg alive, and burned his house with a fire, and his mother was burned to death inside. ”
When the young man heard the one-armed man say this, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Liu He with a resentful expression, the young man's expression was resolute, but his eyes were already rosy.
The one-armed man pointed to another young man with a dull expression, "He and his brother live in two villages next to each other, separated only by a river. One day, two groups of men and horses who were fighting suddenly came and set up camp on both sides of the river. The village was devastated and he and his brother were forcibly conscripted into military service. In this way, the two brothers were put to their backbones with spears against each other's backs. He met his brother on the battlefield that day, and as soon as he saw him, he pounced on him, pinned him to the ground, and drew his sword against him. He asked his brother why, and he told him that if he cut off one of the enemy's heads, he would be let go and not have to fight again. He really couldn't figure out how the elder brother who was usually the eldest brother and the father could become like this. He cried and told his brother that he also had this rule on his side, but he never thought of attacking his own brother. His brother suddenly reached out and flicked his head like he had done when he was a child, and then smiled and said to him, I just know you can't do it, and then I wiped my neck with a knife in front of him. Blood spurted out like that, sprayed on his face, he usually didn't even kill a chicken, he picked up the knife at that time, turned his head to kill the bullshit general behind him who forced his brother to kill each other, killing and killing, he killed red eyes, until he passed out with all his strength. When he woke up and crawled out of the pile of dead people to bury his brother, his brother's body was never found. ”
The more the one-armed man spoke, the more emotional he became, and he stretched out his only left hand and grabbed Liu He's collar.
"Look at me again, I just fell to the ground and accidentally touched the shoes of the county official's concubine, and the dog official ordered someone to chop off my entire right arm on the spot. But do you know that the reason why I fell was because the horse riding for the dog officer almost hit my child, and I was knocked to the ground by the horse in order to protect my child. You say that we can not blame what we have done in the past, but I just want to ask you, what did we do wrong? ”
The two looked at each other, but Liu He had nothing to say.
The one-armed man let go of Liu He's collar and sighed, his tone calming down.
"Although this ghost is sad, at least I can let my wife and children live, even if it is not happy, it is better than death, you tell me now, change places and live again, you can start again, in fact, I also think, all of us think, but this kind of thing can only be thought about in the mind. From the day we fled here, our lives were ruined, and no matter where we went, we couldn't start over. ”
After the one-armed man finished speaking, he turned away gloomily.
The people who were still noisy just now were silent at this time, everyone tacitly followed behind the one-armed man and turned away, no one scolded again, their faces were full of coldness and discouragement, even if the place Liu He said was good, they would no longer have a trace of hope, let alone believe that this world could make them start again.
Looking at the crowd that was gradually moving away, Liu He was stunned, he didn't say anything to save it, let alone how to say it to stay.
Wei San walked up to Liu He and gently patted him on the shoulder.
"The so-called mourning is more than the death of the heart, although these people are still alive, but their hearts have long been dead, I want them to believe what you say, I am afraid it is more difficult than calming this troubled world."
Liu He nodded gratefully to Wei San, but with a wry smile.
There is no ghost sorrow in this world where wicked people gather, and some are just the walled city formed by the desperate people in front of them, and those so-called notoriety are just deliberate rhetoric to protect themselves.
Liu He finally understood why such a group of people could resist the encirclement and suppression of the government again and again, because this was the last refuge they relied on for survival. Those officers came here just to send troops to suppress bandits in the form of walking, and they had only one purpose, that is, to survive.
At this point, Liu He has completely given up the idea of persuading the people to leave, because he really can't bear to touch the sad things that the people bury deep in their hearts, but there is one thing that has kept him haunted.
