Chapter 13 Some Confusion

For the whole day after Chen's mother was killed, Li Di spent the whole day in a state of confusion. He only felt that he was in such a trance, and he felt that the whole thing was spinning like the sky; At this time, what a contradiction he was in his heart, on the one hand, he deeply hated the white dogs, and on the other hand, he was infinitely confused about the current situation. He felt like a kid who didn't understand anything. The hero's mother, who was clearly on the side of justice, was brutally slaughtered by the reactionaries. The grievances and grievances in this, right and wrong, simply made him an inexplicable and unknown second pole who was not deeply involved in the world. Originally, he thought that if he practiced martial arts to defend himself, he could also eliminate violence, peace, and justice, and he could take action against all the ugly forces in society, and he would be happy to take revenge.

However, in the face of the hard facts, in the lesson of blood, he couldn't understand anything. Obviously he should come to the rescue, but he has to lie dormant with fear and feet, and said that it is to "preserve his strength and be reckless". -- What kind of behavior is this? He patted his head in pain, and he still couldn't understand it when he thought about the headache.

But on Li Biao's side, he still looked ignorant. He didn't know who the person who stopped them yesterday was, and he also wanted to ask him where his second brother was coming, but he looked at the second brother's self-indulgent appearance, and he knew that it was in vain to ask. Maybe it's because he doesn't know anything, and he was just a guard when he visited Shangyi Temple that night. And when Li Di was discussing things, he also remembered that he was still young, and he didn't completely let him know too many secrets about the revolutionary party. So, he didn't know why his brother was so addicted in an instant.

The sad people seemed to have stopped in that sad moment, and in this bloody mountain town shrouded in white terror, the whole market was already quiet. Of course, the mud after the rain has also become a shadow for people to travel, and the mother river stained red with blood seems to have become a lingering nightmare in people's hearts. Moreover, all the factors that were originally active in the market seem to have been quietly stagnant because of some kind of ban; The hawker who shouted was also dumb; The bouncing children are lying at home; Passers-by on the street are also in a hurry. The earth seems to be choking, and time and space seem to have stopped!

On this day, Li Biao and the others lazily set up a practice stall. However, after the rain, the mountain town does not seem to have a trace of popularity, and the people seem to be intoxicated with great grief.

They didn't get anything out of the day. The old-timer Li Yuanhai also seemed a little annoyed, he had no intention of beating gongs and drums, and he was not in the mood to solicit business. Under such a white terror, everyone is in danger, and who wants to pay attention to these spiritual pleasures.

The world is weird, life is difficult!

Alas...... He let out a long sigh! It's like a silent defense of the way of the world. The moment he saw the executioners brutally shoot Chen's mother, a gun flew by, and a big living person said no, it was gone. And then there was a brutal disembowelment......

He also felt unprecedented helplessness, thinking to himself, practicing is useless, even if you are faster, you can still be faster than a gun? I have been tinkering with my brothers all day long to see the sky and practice energetically, but this is just an ornament in front of those executioners who kill people without blinking.

The guns are born, and the warriors are out! If you let the brothers continue, maybe one day it will become a source of disaster......

It seems that you have to change your livelihood, and it is destined to have no way out by relying on yourself to practice some tricks like this. In view of the difficult world and the chaotic situation, he had to make a reluctant decision. -- In the future, he will retire from the martial arts and devote himself to business.

Li Biao and his brothers silently packed up their clothes, of course they understood their grandfather's hardships, they also understood their grandfather's concerns, and they knew the old man's good intentions! Born in troubled times, practicing martial arts and self-defense, if you don't serve the country, it will be in vain.

At this time, Li Di, who was more disheartened than anyone else, seemed to see through the red dust, he felt that his mother was right, and the little people should live a small life.

Li Biao looked at his grandfather, who was also in a depressed mood, and he was thinking hard about the way out in his heart, after all, his grandfather was also very old, and he was also thinking about how to share his worries. Suddenly, he remembered that a friend had told him that there was one of the most lucrative businesses at the moment, but he was worried that the world was not peaceful. He said to Li Yuanhai, "Grandpa! Why don't we sell salt, my second brother and I can bring some local products from this county to Guangdong, and when we go home, we will buy salt and sell it. I heard that the salt in Guangdong is very cheap, and we are the only one who lacks it, is this business okay? ”

Li Biao asked his grandfather tentatively, because he knew that with his grandfather's experience, as long as he could see things well, there was nothing that could not be done.

"Okay! -- It's just very hard, and it's thousands of miles to go back and forth from here to the Guangdong salt farm! ”

Sure enough, he didn't disappoint Li Biao, he knew that his grandfather actually had this idea in his heart for a long time. However, Li Yuanhai is also worried. For such a long distance, there are officials and bandits in the middle......

"I know a person who knows the way," Li Biao, who is not very old but has a lot of ideas, continued: "And our government here is not too strict with salt, he is loose inside and tight outside; That is to say, if the salt comes in from other places, they don't care, as long as you sell it openly in the county, it won't get in the way of selling it; But if you want to buy it and go out of the city, he has to register, a few people and a few catties of salt, and it will be troublesome to measure it regularly. According to them, it's called only in but not out! I heard that it was to prevent bandits. ”

Li Yuanhai looked at his beloved apprentice with satisfaction, he only knew that he was the most attentive to learning martial arts on weekdays, and he didn't expect that his brain was also very active. He also agreed: "This is not a problem, we are originally transported from the outside to the inside, and when the time comes, it should not be a problem to buy and sell." ”

"Well, with the martial arts of our brothers, those friends on the road should still give some face, not to mention grandpa, your reputation for so many years." Li Di interjected.

Li Yuanhai glanced at them and said affirmatively: "It's just that you young people have to do it, I can't provoke it, or I still have some friends in this way!" ”

"Then how can it, grandpa, you are so old, just point and point!" Li Biao said obediently.

"Okay, as long as you can buy salt back outside, you really won't have to worry about selling it." Li Yuanhai said indifferently.

They talked about their livelihoods, and their hearts were much happier. The third master also rushed home all the way. Although they all suffered from the psychological discomfort of that day, they were filled with energy at the thought of the prospect of life. After all, they are just civilians, and in their hearts, filling their stomachs will always be more important than anything else.
