Liu Ruyi lay quietly on the blanket, staring blankly at the top of the tent, and suddenly realized that this place that had never been noticed before had an unexpected beauty. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The tent is made of Matsue cloth, and the inside is also brushed with tung oil, and the gray-brown fabric is covered with large and small spots, which are due to mildew that has grown from long-term use. These mildew spots seem to have a life of their own, some of them are like cows bowing their heads to drink, some are like sheep walking in the grass, some are like chickens bowing their heads and pecking rice, although the size of these chickens may be larger than cattle and sheep, it seems a little grotesque and weird, and there is a shocking world everywhere, but whether it is the appearance or the charm, it is amazing the magic of nature.
These molds are really interesting, much more interesting than this world!
He just looked at the tent in silence, not speaking or moving.
He had not eaten water for three whole days, and his body was weakened by hunger, so that he could only lie on this blanket, slowly accepting the torture of his inner conscience. He couldn't sleep either, which made his eyes glow red, which was shocking. He couldn't sleep, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he seemed to be able to see the prisoners who had been killed, some of them had been shot in the head with a firecracker, some had been mutilated with knives, some had been stabbed with guns, and the deaths were horrific in all sorts of ways.
These people died in front of him, and there was him among those who should have died, so how could he eat and sleep in peace?
"I'm a man who deserves to die." Liu Ruyi muttered that his body was so dehydrated that he couldn't even cry out loud.
But he couldn't let himself die, because he promised that person that he would follow him to protect the people of Li and see the peaceful and prosperous world with him, so he didn't dare to commit suicide.
So he had to lie in bed like this, not dead or alive.
It's a dilemma, it's really embarrassing.
Maybe this is the true meaning of life, embarrassing and not advancing or retreating, sheep's horns into the fence, unable to advance or retreat.
The curtain of the tent was lifted, and endless light was projected from the outside, Liu Ruyi's eyes were weak due to the sudden light, and he couldn't help but squint, only to see a black figure slowly walking in from the outside.
That's Childe.
Liu Xu's expression is also not good, his eye bags are very heavy, obviously he hasn't slept well for a long time, his expression is tired, maybe he has been running and shouting these days, his expression is sad, is this grieving for the dead prisoners?
Liu Ruyi felt distressed for a while, it was indeed not easy for Gongzi, but at the same time, he thought that no matter how sad he was and how Gongzi advertised, the dead prisoners would never come back, and their parents, wives, and children would be immersed in eternal sorrow from now on, and they would not be able to break free before they died.
"Ruyi, I heard that you haven't eaten for three whole days?" Gongzi walked to Liu Ruyi and sat down, touched Liu Ruyi's forehead with his hand, and asked heavily.
"Childe, they're dead, right?" Liu Ruyi asked weakly, he himself could hear endless sadness and weakness in his words, like a chick with a dead mother, helpless and powerless.
"Yes." Childe replied.
"What can we do about this, what can we do about this...... Liu Ruyi muttered, "How should we explain to their families, how should we explain to the people of the world." The more he spoke, the louder it became, and gradually, the voice changed from muttering to howling loudly: "Childe, we can't explain to the people of the world, we are ashamed of the people of the world!" ”
He cried so sadly that it didn't take long for the cry to turn into a persistent cough, and he coughed so hard that he seemed to be trying to cough out his heart and liver.
Gongzi looked at him quietly, did not speak, and patted Liu Ruyi's back with his hand, for fear that he would shut himself up.
Slowly, Liu Ruyi quieted down, his cough changed from continuous outbursts to occasional attacks, he looked up at Childe, and asked in a hoarse voice that could no longer shed tears: "Childe, what are you going to do?" ”
Seeing that Liu Ruyi had already broken out, Gongzi was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked, "This matter-is it our fault?" ”
"Isn't it?" Liu Ruyi asked in surprise: "If we didn't go to encourage them, how would they be, how could they-"
He still couldn't bear to say that dead word.
One word, so heavy, so hard to say!
Their death was heavier than Mount Tai, and the weight of this mountain was so heavy that he couldn't open his mouth.
"No, it's not our fault." Childe said categorically, "What did we do wrong? Should we lead the students to uphold justice and work together to defeat the castration, or should we not preach righteousness to the prisoners and tell the truth? Did I tell a lie? Have I ever deceived anyone? Have I forced any of the inmates? ”
Liu Ruyi lowered his head and didn't speak, he almost followed Gongzi through the whole process, and naturally knew that Gongzi had always been sincere, and he had never deceived or forced anyone.
"But, but they still died." It is precisely because of this that Liu Ruyi is becoming more and more painful, and he can't understand why good things have become like this.
"Ruyi," Gongzi looked at him with his eyes, full of sincerity and pain: "Their deaths, I am also very sad, I never thought that this Wang Zaijin would dare to risk the world's condemnation and brazenly slaughter the scholars, I admit, this is something I never thought." But is that what we're doing wrong? ”
Of course it can't be wrong, if it's wrong to oppose traitors and defend the country, then how can there be right in this world?
"No, we were right." Liu Ruyi muttered that he seemed to need a reason to support his survival, and he repeated it repeatedly: "We are right, we must be right." ”
"Ruyi, we are now fighting, we are fighting, we are fighting to the death with the enemy on the battlefield!" Childe's tone suddenly became serious and stern: "Do you think that if we don't hold knives and guns, we don't have armor and blades, we don't have firearms and cannons, and we don't arrange troops, aren't we fighting?" No, in fact, we are also soldiers, we are also soldiers, and we are also fighting with the enemy in blood, brazenly! It's normal to die on the battlefield, but why do you think it's unacceptable to die a few prisoners? Yes, there were a lot of people who died that day, almost eight or nine hundred, but what about the tens of thousands who died in that great battle on the battlefield? In the Battle of Changping, Bai Qikeng killed 400,000 soldiers, which is a full 500 times more than this number! ”
"Yes, we're just fighting, we're all warriors! It's just that we don't fight with swords and guns, but fighting requires death, and there must be sacrifices! There will always be people dying on the battlefield, either you die or I die, this is normal, normal! If you die, I will continue to fight with your sword and gun, if I die, Zhou Jun will continue to fight to the end with my weapon, as long as there are traitors and traitors in this country who will bring disaster to the country and the people one day, as long as there is still one person in this world who is not well fed and clothed, we will continue to fight, and continue to fight until the day of peace and prosperity and happiness for everyone comes! ”
Childe's words were heavy and powerful, like a heavy hammer hitting the door of Liu Ruyi's heart, and like a basin of hot water poured on the ice in his heart, as if the curtain had just been opened, opening the door to a new world for him, there was battle, sacrifice, blood, and death in the gate, but there was more hope for the new world!
"It's like this, it's like this!" Liu Ruyi sat up, grabbed Gongzi's sleeves tightly with both hands, and shouted loudly: "That's it, it's like this, we are not nobler than anyone, we are not greater than anyone, we are human beings, we are all human beings, our goal is to build a new world where everyone is free, everyone is equal, and everyone is happy, in order to build this new world, we all have to fight, we all have to fight until the moment of death, even if we sacrifice everything!" Those who died, they are a pity, but they are definitely not meaningless, their sacrifice will be worthwhile, because we will remember them, and even more because we will take up their banner and continue to fight with their will! Fight, fight, until the day when happiness comes, fight, fight, until the day when the corrupt officials and corrupt officials are killed and die! Liu Ruyi's expression was excited, his will was excited, and the strength in his hand was so great that he actually ripped off the sleeves of his son's exquisite modified velvet jacket!
"Stab", Liu Ruyi looked at the sleeve in his hand, his mind didn't turn for a while, he looked at the sleeve blankly, and couldn't say a word!
He didn't know what was wrong with him, was it because of his helplessness and guilt for the prisoners, so he had to find a reason to excuse himself, or did he already have such thoughts, and he expressed them all today?
Liu Ruyi didn't know, he only knew that he seemed to have opened a certain layer of window paper, which was covered by heavy doors and never saw the light of day. Childe pushed the door open for him, and then he poked open the window paper himself, and finally discovered this new world.
"Yes, yes, that's it," Liu Ruyi suddenly seemed to understand something, and shouted loudly: "Isn't the sage's so-called 'Datong World' like this?" There are no corrupt officials, no oppression, no lack of food and clothing, there is only Datong, only fairness! He threw away the sleeve in his hand, raised his right arm high, and shouted loudly with a fanatical expression: "Freedom, equality, Datong, Childe, take us to realize Datong and realize Datong society!" ”
He suddenly seemed to hear Gongzi talking to himself helplessly: "How can I fool a proletarian for me. Initiators coming? Is this to establish China's 'kingdom of heaven on earth'? Immediately, he seemed to hear Gongzi shouting with a little excitement: "Ruyi, your idea is very good, let's promote it in the future, that is, to save the country and save the people, establish a 'Datong society', realize the last wish of Confucius and Mencius, and build a new society of equality, freedom and happiness!" ”
He heard Gongzi say to him happily: "Ruyi, go to dinner, we need to spread this concept, you must take care of yourself, if you die, this Datong society will not be realized!" ”
My life and death determine the Datong society? Liu Ruyi was stunned for a moment, and then strode out of the tent excitedly, he was going to eat, he was going to drink water, he was going to rest, she wanted to protect herself and protect Datong society!
Outside the curtain, there is infinite light, and there is infinite future!
