Chapter 207: The Root of Ruin
Xu Chu has been thinking about these things in Xujiazhuang in his heart, and occasionally he will worry about his only relative in the world, his eldest brother Xu Ding, so Xu Chu naturally doesn't talk much after he arrives in Yashan.
This time passed in a hurry, in a flash, nearly two years, Xu Chu has grown more and more burly, and even in Yashan Xu Chu still feels very good, after all, as the most effective cadre under the boss of the inner cave, although Xu Chu's life is not said to be free, but compared with other people in the inner cave, he is really good.
But after all, his life is in the hands of the patrol team, and if he doesn't drink the antidote, he will be poisoned, so after learning that Li Jie can help them detoxify, Xu Chu misses his eldest brother Xu Ding more and more, which is also the most important reason why the young Xu Chu is willing to escape from Yashan.
Xu Chu has a good foundation since he was a child, and he has also practiced some skills with his third grandfather, and after practicing kung fu, Xu Chu naturally accepted the idea of his righteous and loyal third grandfather.
Originally, this world, including Xu Chu's third grandfather, all took the route of hoping to sell to the emperor's family by practicing his skills, especially the chaos in the world at the end of the Han Dynasty has become a big mess, and all parties are strong and strong, as long as people with a little vision know that there are many opportunities in this troubled world, so many people in the rivers and lakes will be able to assist the princes of one side, make meritorious achievements, and seal their wives and shadows as their own way out.
So Xu Chu, who accepted his third grandfather's idea, took this matter of loyalty very seriously, originally in the inner cave, Boss Fang used him as a slave, and he acted as a thug for Boss Fang, which cannot be said to be a loyal monarch, because after all, the rules of the inner cave are slaves.
After getting out of the inner cave, especially when he learned that Li Jie's background was not small, Xu Chu recognized the lord, but Li Jie, the lord, and the inner cave Fangda are not the same thing at all. Because as a slave, if the master dies, he is generally buried with him, but as a courtier, he recognizes the lord, which is not the case at all.
Originally, after escaping from Yashan, according to Xu Chu's casual temperament, it was the same everywhere, and in his opinion, since Li Jie was the lord, the lord was going to the north, and his eldest brother was also outside the gate, so naturally Xu Chu had no other ideas.
Except for the days when he was worried about being hunted and killed, in the days that followed, Xu Chu didn't even feel anything special, and even according to his casual temperament, he could eat delicious lake fish by Dongting Lake, and Xu Chu felt pretty good.
Even after arriving in Qiyue City, Xu Chu didn't feel that there was much of a problem, he wanted to eat and drink, although he was smoked half to death by hiding in the fish guard, but Xu Chu was also a master of practicing his family, and these little things could naturally be carried out.
But if you want to say that the problem lies in the Yueyue City, Li Jie's sentence should be a plague, and it really stimulated Xu Chu to the point of almost going crazy.
His Xu Chu family is also a big family, and the plague almost wiped out their Xu family, and finally escaped from Yashan, and after a few days, Li Jie actually said that there was a plague again, Xu Chu suddenly felt that this plague just didn't want to let him go, and he could encounter it anywhere.
In addition, he also saw his parents and younger brother die in front of him because of the plague, so the fear of the plague can be said to have been engraved into his bones.
"Zhongkang!" Xu Chu spoke in a low voice, Li Jie listened silently, only occasionally in the middle, until the end Xu Chu looked up at him with red eyes, and asked him about the tragedy of Xu Jiazhuang, when something went wrong, Li Jie was also silent for a long time, just patted Xu Chu's shoulder gently with his hand, and tried to comfort him:
"This heaven is not benevolent, with all things as dogs, the dead have passed away, but we living can not always live in the past, only look forward, go forward, and fight with the sky, will have endless fun, will live up to this skin!"
"Some people are dead, but he is still alive!" Li Jie saw that he had no way to evaluate, but had to divert the topic of heavenly inhumanity, Xu Chu didn't seem to accept it, thought about it, and then stood up with the rabbit that had been handled for a long time in one hand, threw the short knife in his hand to the ground, patted his chest and said:
"They live forever with us, in our hearts! Zhongkang, think about your family, think about your third grandfather, although they are dead and wronged, they are always good people and good people, they took in the Wang family in order to save the Wang family. ”
"The Wang family also gave donkey meat for gratitude, although there was an accident and caused a tragedy, but we can't regret it, we can't hate, and we can't be afraid!" Seeing that Xu Chu was staring at himself with his eyes fixed on himself because of his words, Li Jie's tone was even more heavy and sincere:
"We are human beings, we are living human beings, and if we don't do what we have to do because we are afraid of something, then how are we different from pigs and dogs? So what's the point of us being alive? ”
"Xu Chu!" Li Jie suddenly felt that he had found the truth, or that he could temporarily unravel the truth of Xu Chu's heart knot, so Li Jie's voice suddenly raised a few points:
"The third grandfather of your family is a good man, the eldest grandfather of your family, and the people in your Xu Jiazhuang are all good men, and that Wang Xiong is also a good man, you are all good!"
"If we want to blame, we'll blame this damn God;"
"To blame, we can only blame the damn plague;"
"If you want to blame, you can only blame those miscellaneous officials who are officials, if it weren't for the fact that they only know how to fight for power and profit all day long, regardless of the lives of the people, the world will not be in chaos, the Wang family will not be displaced, and the tragic tragedy of your Xujiazhuang will not happen!"
"Lord!" Xu Chu was attracted by Li Jie's suddenly raised voice, looking at the impassioned Li Jie and talking, Xu Chu's eyes suddenly brightened, especially when he heard Li Jie say that the people in their Xujiazhuang are all good people and good men, Xu Chu's brows suddenly relaxed.
After hearing Li Jie's series of blames, he can only blame God, he can only blame the plague, and he can only blame those who are officials, Xu Chu seems to have finally found the target of hatred, and even became more and more specific, Xu Chu's heart suddenly itched like a cat scratch, but he couldn't scratch the itch, but the eyes that looked at Li Jie became more and more respectful.
Yes, it is indeed respectful, the respect of an eighteen-year-old burly man for a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy has nothing to do with age, cultivation, or even whether they know each other or not.
Because of what Li Jie said himself, even he himself didn't know how shocking it was! The establishment of the Han Dynasty is Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's sentence of emperors and generals. Thus sounded the death knell of the Qin Dynasty and began the overture of the Han Dynasty.
Although Li Jie's words have not yet spread, they directly point the finger at the corrupt government of the late Han Dynasty and the officialdom vying for power and profit, and further point out the root cause of the ruin of the Han Dynasty.
But on the contrary, Li Jie is not like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, who directly pointed the finger at the king, because after all, in the current late Han Dynasty, no matter how bad the government is, no matter how difficult it is to survive, the monarch and the ministers, the royal family is still in the hearts of the people in the late Han Dynasty.
Therefore, Li Jie only said that the root cause of Xu Chu's suffering and the suffering of the people in the late Han Dynasty was those who were officials, those who implemented government affairs, and those silverfish who did evil.
