Destitute, the family is surrounded by walls. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
These two words may just be what people describe as poor, too skinny, and people who haven't seen them won't understand it, but now the two of them know it.
The little girl's home was empty, with only a mottled table, a stone bed, and a leaky cupboard.
Other than that, there was almost nothing.
Of course, there was also a tall, thin man with one arm on the bed, lying motionless on the bed.
The room was small, and it was only a few steps away, and they could clearly see that the man's withered body was like a tree with dead wood, and he was not angry at all, and if it were not for the slight heaving of his chest, he would have looked no different from a dead man.
The little girl looked thin and thin, but she was very neat at work, but she didn't seem to have handled such a large piece of meat, which was a little difficult, but Zhuang Xia said that it didn't matter if it was roasted and fried, so she had the courage to do it.
"Leave ten pounds of meat down, don't finish it all, you know?"
"Oh, got it. ā
Hearing Zhuang Xia's words, she moved, such a big piece of meat, she couldn't afford to pay for it, if it wasn't for the money promised by the two, she wouldn't dare to let them in.
After all, there are only two of them in the family, and her father is seriously ill, so she is really a lamb to the slaughter.
Nearly a quarter of an hour later, the little girl served a roast on a notched clay plate, weighing several pounds.
In half an hour, she successively brought forty or fifty catties of meat, put it in a basket, and roasted it mainly.
As for why they did so much, and whether they had finished eating, she didn't ask. And also gave two servings of wild vegetables, two servings of rice and soybeans to the two.
As for herself, she fed her father a portion of millet porridge, and she was a little nervous, for she had secretly put some meat puree at the bottom of the bowl, which had been taken down from the guests, and was only as much as a small finger.
This little girl, I don't know how to evaluate her cooking skills, she doesn't like to eat wild vegetables in summer, the taste is average, and the cooked soybeans are okay, as for the barbecue, she is really not very good at it, and she has been scorched a lot, but she has been carefully cleaned up, leaving some traces.
It's just that the roast is so uneven, Zhuang Xia can eat it very easily.
The poor family lacks condiments, the raw materials are not good, and the cooking taste is not good, if there is, it must be that this person has a high talent for cooking.
Modern times do not count, because the minimum basic means of living are relatively equal, but if you also want to cross the huge gap between the bottom life and the upper class, it cannot be done without the efforts of several generations of outstanding talents, unless there is a person who defends the sky, such as Ma Yun, an ordinary person back then, who has worked hard for decades, plus opportunities, and has reached the peak of life.
Although the meals were average, Zhuang Xia was hungry, so he didn't care.
"Little girl, come over for dinner. ā
"No, I have my own food, you can eat. ā
The little girl swallowed her saliva and lowered her head to eat her millet porridge with wild vegetables, but did not look at the meat on the table.
She didn't eat, Zhuang Xia didn't say anything, he didn't want to force others.
"Is it your father in bed?"
Chewing the barbecue, Zhuang Xia asked her, and Yeming Gongzi ate with a long and a short chopsticks, and also listened with his ears sideways.
"Yes. ā
"Why is his hand gone, and why is he so sick? Didn't he go to the doctor?"
"My father had been in the army for many years, and he had many injuries, and then he lost one hand during the war, so he came back to farm. In the past few years, my health has not been very good, and my family has no money, so I look down on the doctor, and the result is getting heavier and heavier, and now I am afraid that I will not be able to stay up for long. ā
As the little girl spoke, tears dripped down her face.
"Didn't your father save his salary? Didn't the army have any arrangements?"
Zhuang Xia asked with a frown.
"Nothing seems to be there. But my father was very diligent when he came home, but he didn't know how to collapse. ā
The more she spoke, the lower her tone became.
"What would you do if your father died?"
"I, I don't know. Father, he won't leave me too. ā
"Don't you have any other relatives?"
"No, not a single one. ā
The little girl's eyes were red, her vision was hazy, and her tears dripped down the rice bowl, and she ate it one bite at a time.
"How are most of the people in your village doing?"
"It's average, barely enough to eat, and when the year is bad, people will starve to death. ā
"Oh. ā
Zhuang Xia didn't ask her anymore, and the son of Yeming on the side didn't speak with an iron face, extremely ashamed and angry, but also extremely helpless.
"That Chen Guojun is really incompetent, I heard that he is seriously ill, it is really good news.
A king will not let his subjects suffer, a courtier will not let his rule be chaotic, and a father will not let his family, wife, and children be left in misery.
In my opinion, Chen Guojun is extremely incompetent. Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, did you say yes?"
Zhuang Xia spoke unceremoniously, and he didn't look down on that monarch.
Ye Ming slapped the table and glared at Zhuang Xia very angrily, but although he said too much, it was not nonsense, Chen Guo did not grow in the hands of his father, but weakened a lot.
"Subjects of Chen, don't talk about the monarch. ā
Yeming Gongzi stared at Zhuang Xia for a long time before he burst out with such a sentence.
"I'm not from Chen Guoren, I can say whatever I want. Does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want to kill my head?
In addition, any political regime can control the mouths of the people of the world, but their words and deeds cannot escape the hearts of the people.
Everyone in the world has their own freedom, although they don't do what they want, but they have the power not to do what they don't want to do, when one day they don't want to be the people of Chen Guo, who has any way?
The human heart is a mirror, do you want to smash the bright mirror every day when you become a king? Or do you just want to see what you want to see?"
Zhuang Xia's words, the son of Yeming had nothing to say.
Ordinary people would not dare to say this to him, what the hell is freedom? Since ancient times, the legal net has been restored, and those who weave the net have always believed only in their own force and wisdom.
However, water can carry a boat and also capsize a boat, and the people of the whole world are not happy with the ruler, and no matter how much he is, he will still be doomed.
Most of the concepts created by human beings in the world, such as law, class, and feelings, as long as people deny them in their hearts and no longer believe in them, then they are nothing and quietly dissipate.
Vicious criminals commit crimes, and they have punctured a hole in the concept of law in their hearts, and it will be difficult to fear the law in the future.
The rebels killed those in power, and in their eyes both rebellion and murder were justified and deserved.
The relationship between men and women is cut off, and people who are thin and cold will no longer care about the lover in the past.
The mind guides an orderly life, but it also imprisons them.
People look at mental illness strangely because many of the concepts in their minds are different from what ordinary people have fixed. So, they were branded as madmen.
But in the same way, geniuses and partial madmen have very high IQs, and we cannot understand their world, and they cannot understand our minds.
How was the rebellion accomplished in ancient times? The original regime kept telling its people that they were orthodox, that they were divinely endowed with royal power, and everyone believed that this concept was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and well, the world was at peace.
But one day, people's lives are not good, and a person doesn't believe in this concept anymore, and he thinks in his heart, this regime is garbage, what they say is bullshit, I want to overthrow them and sweep them into the garbage heap of history.
Then, he led many people who also denied the idea that the dynasty was orthodox to overthrow the regime, and of course, on the way he naturally proclaimed himself as a successor, a divine arrangement, a divine guide, and a course of history.
That's what Liu Bang did when he beheaded the White Snake Uprising.
You see, what dynasty doesn't say that it deserves to win the world? Since the establishment of political power, all the successors have said so, without exception.
There are also many cultural changes, changes in customs, like the feminist movement, and so on, negating the concepts of the past and building new, millennia of changes.
Many of these are influenced by reality, but more often than not, concepts negate concepts. Until you can no longer find the original concept, new concepts are injected into people's minds, and then everything is taken for granted in order in life.
The so-called generation gap is like this, perhaps it is a material influence, or it may be a gradual change and inheritance of thinking from generation to generation, and the difference is extremely large in the end.
Concepts are all virtual by human beings. So, if you believe it, it's there, if you don't believe it, it's just a fart.
Of course, many concepts in the world are fixed by the people themselves, such as monogamy, money, and society, and perhaps there is a political power in this, but these are what they are willing to accept, because they are the ones who will be hurt the most in the event of collapse.
And the stability and stability of the country are the most powerful for the common people.
The so-called rather than a dog in troubled times.
And Prince Yeming, he will also pay attention to the people, the people's life is too poor, this is the king's fault, if it is not corrected, all the people will deny the king, and the king will have nothing.
Therefore, the ruler is very concerned about this, and if he does not care, then the ruler will be fooled into the ditch by his own propaganda.
There are many such stupid emperors in history, who think they are the true emperors, but they are wasted.
The meal was very dull, and the three of them remained silent until they finished eating.
The little girl was shocked to see Zhuang Xia's rice bucket stuffing all the meat into her mouth, but she couldn't imagine how the meat comparable to his size was digested by him.
Doesn't the stomach explode?
However, Zhuang Xia's stomach did not explode, but only bulged slightly, the food in this world contained too little energy and substance, he had to eat more to fill his stomach.
"Give me a bowl of water. ā
Zhuang Xia grinded his teeth, the little girl was very obedient, and she was not angry at all because this child, who was much younger than her, instructed him to do things.
A bowl of water was placed in front of him, Zhuang Xia clasped his hands tightly, hung above the bowl, and then let go, and a small drop of spiritual liquid dripped down, causing faint ripples on the water surface, blending into it without a trace.
This is one-tenth of a drop of spiritual liquid, which is enough for ordinary people here to increase one-tenth of their physical fitness, and it is still a bit wasteful just to cure diseases.
However, the life of a man who will have a family responsibility in the future seems to be more important.
Even if Zhuang Xia is in a good mood and eat her meal, this can be regarded as a reward.
"Give it to your father, drink it, it's given by the gods, and it will be used to save the sick and heal people. ā
"Really?"
"Really, besides, your father is dying, how bad can it be, isn't it?"
The little girl didn't speak, and silently brought water to her father.
"Xiao Ming, give the money and leave. ā
Yeming Gongzi took out the only copper coins left on his body, but did not give gold and silk, she couldn't afford to use it.
Money does not bring happiness to a person, and once money leaves him, misfortune follows.
In the same way, more money than one person can control, and it can also bring misfortune to people.
"Little girl, the remaining ten catties of meat will be given to you, we will go to the place in the evening, we want to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, we don't want this sour meat. ā
The two of them walked far away, and gradually they couldn't even see their shadows.
"Will his father really be healed?"
Ye Ming's words are not salty or light.
"God knows, maybe. ā
Zhuang Xia looked at the pale blue sky, as if thinking about the future of this little girl.
Maxima Zhuang Xia, with Ye Ming, rushed to the road for another afternoon, and the dusty man really arrived at the capital of Chen Guo in the evening.
Outside the city gate, Zhuang Xia inserted the wooden stick, and all but two bifurcated parts were submerged into the ground, and Yeming didn't have to climb down embarrassedly.
After tidying up their appearance, the two walked into the national capital.
Ye Ming's goal was the palace, and after walking for more than half an hour, the two finally arrived, fortunately, the valuables on their bodies were not lost along the way, and the things that proved their identity were still there.
As soon as he entered the palace, the entire palace jumped because everyone didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come back and come back alive.
Among them, the most anxious and worried are the current queen and her son.
However, Prince Yeming was also worried, because he had just received the news that his father had been seriously ill for three months, having been unconscious a month ago, and that the government was now controlled by the queen's elder brother, Lord Xiangguo.
The entire national capital is now surging.
