Chapter 34: Talking at Night Under the Moon

Li Xing reminded him of the past, but now he is a matter of things and people, and he can't help but sigh a lot.

"Brother Xing, my family's affairs have involved your hard work, and I really don't want to go."

Seeing that Li Xingqi was a little depressed, Li Tian hurriedly broke the topic.

"Alas, it's a pity that my life is unlucky, and I don't know when it will end!" Li Tian didn't say a word, but he was emotional.

"Ah Tian, why are you so discouraged? You must know that flowers are not red for a hundred days, and people are not declining for a hundred years. You see, aren't the little grasses under your ass that are so bent that you sit on tonight that they are much more unlucky than the grass next to you? But they also have times when the clouds open and the moon shines. ”

"Huh! You don't have to move your ass. Looking at Li Tian, who was suddenly sitting on pins and needles, Li Xing couldn't help but smile. This smile made him stretch out because he remembered his eldest brother's depression, and talked happily in the hazy moonlight.

"Don't you understand? Even if you move a position, but it's the turn of another ball of grass that is unlucky, how can there be absolutely fair things in the world? ”

"That's, that's!" Li Tian said crampedly: "I'm unlucky, but it's lucky." You see, is running around, and I don't have to worry about her getting hurt; The son has a place to study; The old father was also taken care of by the neighbors; The villagers don't make it difficult for me, but I often sell bamboo, fish and shrimp on the market before others. ”

"I have everything in mind. I have nothing to repay, I can only work hard with peace of mind, and try my best to reduce the burden of the villagers. ”

"And Brother Xing, not only did you reduce my debts before, but I can't repay this help today."

"Ah Tian, your personality, hard work and self-esteem, we all see it. If you're a lazy, self-abandoned, self-reliant person who only thinks about relying on others, I don't think anyone would want to help, and I won't be sitting here talking to you tonight. Li Xing gushed about his big truth again.

"The so-called 'good family has more than enough to celebrate', not only to help people and do good deeds is to accumulate goodness, but also to accumulate goodness for your self-discipline, self-improvement, self-esteem, and self-diligence, and to accumulate goodness for your humanity!"

"The villagers are willing to help you, not only because they see your pity, but also because they are grateful for your kindness in human nature." There is a Yuqing in the house of goodness', this is the Yuqing you should have. ”

Li Tian was full of relief, looked down at his son who was moving in the crook of his arm, and said in surprise: "Look, Jiansheng smiled, he dreamed and smiled, I haven't seen his dream smile for a long time." Maybe he saw his mother cured in a dream! ”

Li Tian smiled so that although the wrinkles on his face were deeper, the whole vicissitudes of life were much softer.

"Jiansheng is also your Yu Qing! You see, although he skipped class, he still remembers to make up for his homework, isn't it just because of your self-improvement? Although he has not been disciplined much since he was young, he has not been like those wild children in the countryside, and this does not come from your self-discipline and self-esteem? Ah Tian, this is your other Yu Qing! ”

Li Tian spoke to Li Xing sincerely, and his slightly bent waist seemed to be straightened.

After a few cups of tea, Li Xing's conversation was very popular, but it was basically his one-man show, Li Tian only occasionally said a half-sentence of agreement, of course, there were people on his laps who eavesdropped on his little ears.

Li Wen eavesdropped on his father's talk, why people's hearts are not ancient now, everything looks at money, and even degenerates to the point of laughing at poverty and not prostitution; What officials are getting more and more **, corrupt officials are all over the place, and they are sold - officials and lords are heard from time to time; What power and money can lead to the sky, and power and money collude into adultery; What kind of officials protect each other, and the people deceive each other??????? And so on, these social issues that his father had never told him, and there were examples and judgments that he listened to with relish.

These things are both fresh and strange, which makes Li Wen taste that the world is very big and complicated, different from the pure goodness of Qingwan Township, which is full of traps and filth.

Levin's cerebellum has more and more question marks, why do you want to do it when you know what is bad? Why not live a better, more comfortable and more secure life like our Qingwan Township? Like the strange thing my father said, an old man in a foreign country fell, and others were like mice seeing cats and avoiding in shock, their society and people's hearts must be missing something, but what are they?

??????

"Bad government, bad government and bad customs are in a vicious circle, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to recover it over time!"

Li Xingshi couldn't suppress the depression in his heart, and said with emotion:

"Back then, the founding monarch sent people to our military camp and said: Now the people are living in dire straits, and the people are overwhelmed by the three mountains of kings, corrupt officials, and powerful people. As a hot-blooded soldier, please follow me to be a hot-blooded soldier who saves the country and the people! ”

"The word 'national scholar' is so noble and sacred in the minds of my generation, how can we, who were enthusiastic and non-witnesses, understand what is iron-blooded pride, what is duty, and what is generosity. Life and death laughed, we all knew at that moment what it means to be a husband who stands up to the sky! ”

Li Wen listened to his father's more and more passionate words, and he also had an impulse to move in his body, as if a majestic heart rose to look at the heavens and the earth.

The peaks turned around, but Li Xing said in a deep voice: "But now, will it be a reincarnation again?" Why is there always an endless cycle of decay, rebellion, and emercialism? Is there no real workaround? It's a pity that I have flipped through the books of the sages, but I have never found the essentials. ”

"My father and second brother sacrificed their lives to overthrow the old three mountains, but only a few years later, the world began to gradually collapse again. I'm not worth it for my father and brother, it's not worth it! ”

Li Xing became excited, hit the ground with his fist, and said "not worth it", his eyes were red.

Seeing Li Xing's excitement, Li Tian became cramped and nervous, rubbing his hands with each other's "bamboo fingers" more frequently and harder. The so-called "bamboo knuckles" are thick, hard, high, and convex joints on the fingers, and the phalanges between the nodes are fleshless, long, and hard. Whenever he was nervous, Li Tian mostly rubbed the knuckles of his fingers and relieved his emotions through a little pain from his muscles and bones.

"Society isn't going to get bad, is it? At least I feel like life is getting better. Li Tian muttered softly.

Li Xing shook his head and replied:

"Bad government, bad government, and bad customs will form an invisible wall in front of the world. The wall starts in the middle and gradually develops from the upper and lower ends. Those who are in the middle of society will be the first to feel the obstacles of this wall. And the upper echelons, because they are high enough, they can easily step over. For those on the lower floors, because it is low enough, it is also easy to drill through. ”

"So the people on the upper and lower floors are the last to feel the existence of this wall. When they can all feel the wall, it means that many people have been hit on their heads and bled out. At this time, most people will have the idea of tearing down this wall, which means that a great era of change is coming. ”

"Brother Xing, you are too profound, I don't understand!" Li Tian was confused when he heard this, and shook his head subconsciously with his eyes wide open.

This honest man is indeed not a good person to talk to, especially when he talks about the hidden problems in society, he is simply playing the piano to the cow!

Li Xing slowed down, trying to calm down his emotions a little.

"Uncle Tian, my father said that you live too low, so you can't feel the existence of that bad wall!" At this time, Li Wenshi couldn't help but send a reminder.

Li Xingyi touched his son's little head and chuckled and reprimanded "go to sleep", ignoring his son who stretched out his little tongue and closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, and said to Li Tian, who was scratching his head in embarrassment:

"Last month, Chen Chao was fined a lot of money! It was said that his cargo was overloaded, and he had internal injuries on the official road, which hurt the foundation of the official road. ”

"It's just nonsense, it's always been like that. It's just that Xinzhi County came first, and Chen Chao happened to run away from the horse market, and it was too late to do it. Chen Chao is considered an upper-middle-class person, so he first hit the wall of corruption by officials. ”

"And Li Tian, you won't hit this wall now, how much do you think people can get from you? Because you are lower than Chen Chao, Chen Chao can bump into it, but you can't feel its existence, this is the reason. ”

"Huh! I get it! Because I'm poor enough, low enough to drill a dog hole, of course no one has to make up my mind. Li Tian sneered.

"When will we feel this wall?"

"When the ** is even worse, when Chen Chao's 'hematopoietic' function is sucked to the point of being unprofitable. When people with money and ability can't sustain their huge expenses, they will choose their feet. Officialdom comes and goes, and there will never be a time to be full, so you have to open the knife to the lower-level people. ”

"Raising taxes is just the most direct but low-level means, and those invisible tricks-taking-luxury-grabbing will make everyone feel the pain of the skin. When society develops into full-blown predatory**, you will blow your head against that wall. ”

"When will the upper echelons feel it?" Li Tian was drenched in cold sweat when he heard this, and he couldn't help but care about another group of high-ranking people.

Talking about Zhenggao, Li Xing wants Li Tian to be an honest farmer, and it doesn't hurt to listen to it, and let's talk about another matter:

"I have an old colleague who lived and died together, and now he is a general. He discussed with me a few years ago, wanting to use me to show his face and monopolize the military horse business. The military horse business is far more lucrative than you can imagine, so that both him and I can make a lot of money. ”

He said that now the secretary of the military department is greedy for money, and with the level of my old colleagues, if he can hold more than 10,000 taels of silver, he will definitely be able to get a festival to be used. Because he also wants to 'improve', he needs a lot of money now. ”

"After the trend of selling - official beard gradually opens, then you are the one who is the official, you have the ability but no money to dredge, and you will definitely be swept to the end. Because neither his surroundings nor his superiors are capable people, how can they bear a strange thing to prick their nerves? In this way, even if it is an upper-class person, it can only go all the way to the dark on that ** road. When someone deliberately finds fault with you, or when there is a great social upheaval, who can be unscathed? This big wall that spreads out will eventually stop everyone! ”

Facing the questioning gaze, Li Xing said angrily: "I didn't promise him!" ”

"Personally, I believe that wealth in collusion with power must be dirty, and sometimes bloody. I have enough money to spend, so why should I defile my life and my humanity? ”

"I really want to spit on that military secretary to my face: If you don't bring it in life, you don't bring it in death, why do you want to get so much money? Do you want to be the richest man in the country? Indeed, the mountains that are piled up of money on the right path can make the mountains look up. But the higher the rancid and bloody money accumulates, the farther the stench will spread? Does he want to corrupt the ancients and leave it to future generations? Gao Ji is such a conspicuous stinky money, he is not the master of the Ming Dynasty, but also the jealous and jealous person who collapses! ”

After Li Xing paused, he said bitterly: "If he really doesn't collapse, I'm afraid it will be our turn to collapse." And who in the world can escape this calamity? The person who is greedy for this, who is stupid and stupid, who climbs to such a high position, who is even higher??? Alas! Doesn't that mean something is wrong with us? I really don't understand, how can our country produce so many half bowls of rice that would rather abandon the national fortune and give up the half bowl of rice that they can't eat, the kind of rats who are similar to Bo Yao and Guo Kai. ”

The more Li Tian listened, the more convinced he became, and he asked urgently: "Will it really slowly become very bad?" What are we going to do? ”

"What can we do? There is no need to worry about the sky, there is always a development process in things, and it will be more than ten or twenty years later. You and I are old then, what else can we do? This society doesn't have a chance for us to speak, so we have to wait and see what happens, but I'm afraid that it will hurt Li Wen and Li Jiansheng's generation! ”

"We can only pray that Heaven will bring about a better situation! Of course, when I can help, I will do my best to do my best! ”

"Everyone has their own way of living, and everyone has their own philosophy of life. My philosophy is that I'd rather die laughing than crying! ”

Li Xing said silently but firmly.

??????

Under the starry sky, next to the roots of the village road, Li Xing was talking about national affairs, he was not above the temple, but far away from the rivers and lakes, he could have been single outside the national difficulties. But worrying about the future of his children and grandchildren, he couldn't help but feel sad on his face, but he couldn't help it, so he could only sigh again and again. The so-called "those who can work hard"!

Under the same starry sky, the Jiansheng Niang under the tree, but tonight slept on a comfortable dream that had not been seen for a long time, and the so-called "ignorant are blessed" is exactly this truth.
