"You know the art of war?"

"Where! I only heard some of "The Art of War" from my grandfather, who was a fan of old books. He is poor, he has never studied, but he can recognize ordinary words, and it can be said that he is self-taught, because he likes to read. It was because he respected people with cultural knowledge that I was fortunate enough to study at a private school for a few days. If I want to say that my literacy and hyphenation are more due to my grandfather's teaching. ”

Ji Jieyu looked at Liu Xingmei and said seriously: "How good would it be if you weren't married?!" ”

"Why?"

"You can follow me through this world and recognize the world. In a world where killing and hunger are rife, sin eats away at people's souls, injustice is hating the poor, and rampant invaders are swinging their butcher's knives at the heads of our fellow citizens. When you see this real world with your own eyes, what is missing is the 'paradise' here, will you still be in the mood to enjoy the comfortable life here? With your compassionate bodhisattva heart, you will not be indifferent, and you will contribute your own strength to save the world. ”

Liu Xingmei smiled, and said modestly and euphemistically: "I don't have a sense of sacred mission, nor do I have the great ambition you said, my mediocrity and insignificance are because I am a woman, a wife, and a man of my own. When it comes to husband and children, I'm a person who follows tradition. For me, a woman's world is very narrow, so I want to be a woman who abides by my duties, and I have no ideal ambitions. Now I only know that my man is busy outside, and I don't know what he is like for this family, and I, a woman, should wait for him to come back at home. Of course, please don't mind what I say! ”

Ji Jieyu smiled slightly, reached out and touched the head of the jujube red horse and said: "Unless the devil is driven out as soon as possible, unless there is no accident here, otherwise, I believe that my 'red apricot' will take you 'out of the wall', and the outside world is waiting for you to break through." You are a person who is both civil and military, and you should not be buried if you are a talent. Nowadays, the outside world is full of dangers, and all lives are fragile in the face of danger, which requires the courage to face without fear of sacrifice. When the country is in peril, a responsible person will not remain indifferent. ”

Her words were subtle and humorous.

Liu Xingmei said: "It seems that I am ashamed of your radical method!" As long as this village is safe, I will hide here. Because it is my responsibility to protect this village. ”

"I'm not Uncle Liu Huang with great ambitions, otherwise I would really come to invite you out of the mountain. Hiding here will doom you to be ordinary. Only when you go out will you discover the value of your life. In troubled times, heroes are multiplied. There are many heroes among women. However, in fact, while you protect this village, you are resisting the bandits and the Japanese invaders, and you are contributing a responsibility, which cannot be ignored, ignoring it is a misunderstanding of you and disrespect for you. ”

"The philosophy of the ancestors who are advertised is not all correct, the so-called 'small hidden in the wild, hidden in the city, hidden in the big hidden in the court', if it is said that it is hidden in the city and hidden in the court, then it is still inseparable from intrigue, deceit, and trapped in the lock of fame and profit, how to talk about a 'hidden' word? This is nothing more than Taoist philosophy! I think that the real hidden is best hidden in this mountain and countryside, indifferent to fame and fortune, and mediocre life. Living a comfortable life of sunrise and sunset, lacking greedy desires, going with the flow, only seeking food and clothing, contentment and happiness, self-cultivation and self-cultivation, is the real hidden. Even monks and nuns say that they have escaped into the empty door, eaten fasting and recited Buddha, and do not ask about mundane things, but in fact, they are not hidden, because that can only be regarded as an escape from reality. ”

Just like Tao Zhenkun, who she once looked down on, when she talked about understanding ambitions on Chinese New Year's Eve the year before, she thought that he was not worthy of pursuing his life dreams, and felt that it was pure nonsense. But after something unexpected happened later, it seemed to prove the classic philosophy of 'those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black'. He was imperceptibly influenced by Miao Yunchang, who played an exemplary role, and he was the kind of person who hid deeply.

"Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years. My thoughts are to be compared with yours, it's really a small thing, you are about to become a college scholar! Ji Jieyu admires Liu Xingmei's erudition very much, and she can quote the classics logically, which is commendable.

"What you say sounds good to the ear, but it makes me feel ashamed!"

But I am not saying this by false flattery, but by sincere admiration. If it is now a peaceful era, I really hope that our three sisters with different surnames will talk about life, literature, poetry and songs, ideals, and life together, how comfortable and enjoyable it would be. If it weren't for this era of internal and external troubles, I would also be willing to be the woman you are talking about. But in the face of defending the family and the country, regardless of gender, everyone has a responsibility. Therefore, I would like to dye my youth with my blood, and I do not want to waste my time. Of course, people have a death, but there is a difference between death and death that is lighter than a feather and heavier than Mount Tai, and dying for the ideal is the place of death. Originally, my ideal was to be a writer, like Xiao Hong and Ding Ling, to use the pen to pour out the sufferings of the world and crusade against evil. But under the trampling of the iron hooves of the invaders, where is the dignity of the nation, I have no choice but to resolutely put pen to paper, to take up arms to expel the Japanese bandits, and return my mountains and rivers! ”

"Everyone should have a heart to reward good and punish evil, and you are a person who dares to give for the sake of faith, and I sincerely admire this point. When you are liberated, it is not too late for you to write again, and when you have a rich experience, your work will definitely be wonderful. At that time, I would like to be your loyal reader, because I like literature, which is the historical record of a country and a nation, a great artistic inheritance, and a kind of spiritual sustenance of people. Literature represents a democratic culture and is indispensable. ”

Mei Xiang said: "Don't forget that there is still me, I will also read it carefully!" Now, I have been instructed to convey the instructions of Mrs. Wu, and I have invited the two of you to go and have something to say, and there will be a banquet to celebrate at noon. ”

As he was talking, Old Lady Wu led the villagers to appear, and he waved his crutches and staggered.

The lord of a village, bowing to the invitation, represents respect and sincerity.

Ji Jieyu said: "As a woman, I am proud of you. ”

Liu Xingmei said: "I do the same to you. ”

"You are each other!" Mei Xiang giggled, smiling like a flower.

The gunshot wound on Ji Jieyu's arm did not heal, but she did not listen to the persuasion of others to stay, but insisted on deciding to leave.

(It's been busy lately, so I need to add)
