Chapter 563: Am I a Bad Person?
Chen Shaobai didn't understand what An Zheng was talking about: "Relying on one person? This broken society can't be changed by a group of people, do you really think you can change anything by relying on one person? No one is really immortal, and no one can be immortal after death." For example, if you are on your own in the future, you may make some changes in the world, and people will respect you and believe in you.www.biquge.info But it's only a hundred years since you died...... No, it won't be used for fifty years, and the set of things you left behind will be overturned, believe it or not?"
"Letter. ”
An Zheng nodded: "What you said is right, I can't refute a word." But I can't save eternal life, I can only save this life. If you don't do it because you're desperate, you won't even have a chance to change in your life. ”
Chen Shaobai patted An Zheng's shoulder: "Fortunately, there is no shortage of people around you." ”
An Zheng said: "Actually, Ziluo can do it, but he is desperate." ”
"Go on, I'll go out and take a breath. ”
An Zheng felt that his heart was too depressed, so he asked Qu Liuxi and them to accompany Huo Ye to continue watching, and he walked out of the Star Picking Tower alone. At this time, where the anti-heaven seal stopped, An Zheng didn't know. He walked to the square platform controlled by the Reverse Heaven Seal and looked at it, and the location on the map had actually reached Zhuo Kingdom.
Zhuo State borders Xiqiang State, and is one of the weaker national strength among the Sixteen Kingdoms of Youyan. The location of Zhuo is awkward, with the powerful Xiqiang to the west, and a small part of the south bordering Zhao, which had always been allied with Yan before. These two countries joined forces to suppress Zhuo, and with the harassment of Xiqiang, Zhuo has been developing very slowly.
An Zheng was silent for a while and then decided to go out for a walk, the past painted on the wall by Ziluo made people's hearts too blocked.
Out of the anti-heaven seal, An Zheng found that this was a small area of grassland. Zhuo is already close to the Western Regions, and the desertification of the land is also very serious. Every year, in order to stop desertification, Zhuo has to invest a lot of manpower and material resources. This small area of grassland is supposed to be a barrier to prevent the sand dunes from moving eastward.
An Zheng stepped on the grass and walked into the distance, and after about ten minutes, he saw a small village.
The poverty here makes people's hearts even more blocked.
Even if it temporarily stopped the desert from continuing to invade eastward, the people living on the edge of the desert had a very hard life. When An Zheng was in Yan Kingdom, he had heard that there were many thieves and grass cowards in Zhuo Kingdom, think about it, life can't go on, and there are more people who choose to do evil.
At the edge of the meadow are three or four rows of poplars, which also seem to have been planted to keep out the encroachment of the desert, and they should not be too old, and the largest trees are thigh-thick. On the other side of these rows of poplars is the small village, which is the size of fifty or sixty households. There was still some muddy land at the entrance of the village, and three or five villagers could be seen bending over to work in the fields.
The Buddha Kingdom of the Western Regions and Daxi are facing each other, and the Zhuo Kingdom is the first place to bear the brunt. At this time, the people here have not been captured, either by luck or because of some other reason.
An Zheng walked to the ridge and looked at the field, and there were some vegetables planted in the field. At this time, the autumn harvest is just past, and before winter comes, it is better to plant vegetables such as cabbage on the only land that can be planted.
An old woman who looked to be in her sixties or seventies was carrying a burden to the field, and it seemed that she could no longer straighten her waist. At this age, I have to work in the fields by myself, and the burden is not easy, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable.
An Zheng asked: "You are already so old, why do you still have to work in the fields, what about your family?"
Most of the old woman's hair was gray, and her face was deeply wrinkled. This is an old man with old eyebrows but still showing kindness, An Zheng reached out to take the courage from her shoulder, and the old woman quickly dodged.
"Your son, don't touch it, it's all dung, it's dirty and smelly, don't dirty your hands and your clothes. ”
Her face was a little nervous when she said this, obviously because An Zheng's shiny clothes made her a little frightened.
An Zheng shook his head and said: "It's okay, I was also born as a bitter child, and when my parents died early, I supported myself alone." ”
The ridge was not very wide, so An Zheng didn't dare to move again when he saw the old woman dodging, lest she fall down with unsteady steps. But the old woman, after all, was too old, and her body had long since lost much strength, and besides, there was such a heavy burden on her shoulders, and she still did not stand firm, and fell into the field with her body crooked.
An Zheng grabbed her with one hand, and lifted the pole with the other.
Although he didn't fall, the old man was still startled. With the cultivation of An Zheng, if the old man is allowed to fall down in front of him, it will be too wasteful. The old man's face turned a little pale with fright, and when he looked back, he couldn't believe that he hadn't fallen.
"Thank you so much, this boy is such a good person. ”
After the old woman stood firm, she hurriedly thanked her, and the appearance of bending down with her hands to thank her was distressing.
An Zheng held the flat pole with one hand and the old woman with the other: "I'll help you pick it up." ”
The old woman was grateful.
At that moment, a farmer rushed from a field in the distance, looking very muscular, shirtless, with a tanned upper body. He strode over to this side, still carrying a dung fork in his hand: "What are you doing with that person!"
An Zheng looked at the man and thought that he was a very simple farmer.
That man is indeed a loyal and honest man in appearance, and no matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with the great traitors. Such people are too ordinary to be seen in any village. But I don't know why, when the old lady saw the strong man coming, her face turned even paler than when she was frightened just now.
The sturdy man walked up to An Zheng and first glanced at the old woman with concern: "Mother-in-law, are you okay?" ”
The old woman hurriedly shook her head: "It's okay, it's okay, nothing." ”
The black-faced man looked at An Zheng again, and looked at it carefully for a while: "Look at you, you don't look like we're from Zhuoguo, but this dress looks like it's from Yanguo." ”
An Zheng nodded: "I'm from Yan Kingdom." ”
The black-faced man immediately became hostile: "What are you Yan people doing when you come to our Zhuo country, this is a poor and remote place, you don't want to be a fine work from Yan country!"
An argued: "I just happened to be passing by. ”
The black-faced man looked around and asked, "Look at your clothes, you should be a rich boy, why don't you go out with an entourage or something?" ”
An Zheng thought for a while and replied: "I brought it, rest over there, I feel stuffy in the car alone, so I came out for a walk." ”
The black-faced man asked, "It's not far away." ”
An Zheng replied, "A little far." ”
The black-faced man snorted: "I don't think you look like a bad person, but you don't do things like that." I disturbed my mother-in-law just now, and I scared her to fall, why didn't you even apologize?"
The old woman hurriedly said, "No, no, I almost fell down by accident, thanks to the help of others." ”
The black-faced man said, "Don't worry about it! Can this foreigner still bully us himself? I don't think he's an unreasonable ......."
He stretched out his hand towards An Zheng: "I am the most difficult person, and the people in the village also listen to me." You knocked down your mother-in-law, and you have to have an explanation for this. Do you say what's wrong, do you lose money or report to the official? We Zhuoguo people have always had a bad relationship with your Yan Kingdom, and if you report to the official, I'm afraid it won't be any good for you. ”
An Zheng looked at his outstretched hand and thought of the paintings drawn by Ziluo in the Star Picking Tower. He shook his head slightly, why are there so many people in this world?
"I won't give you a copper coin, I didn't knock it down. Even if I frighten my mother-in-law, I apologize to my mother-in-law, and it won't be your turn. ”
"Fuck, you're not going to give it?"
The black-faced man pointed at An Zheng with a dung fork: "Do you believe it or not, I let you not get out of this village?"
An Zheng shook his head: "I don't believe it." ”
The black-faced man stuffed his little thumb into his mouth and whistled loudly, and someone in the village looked out, and soon several young men in relatively new clothes ran out, all carrying sticks in their hands.
"Brother Hei, what's wrong!?"
Someone asked out loud.
The old woman hurriedly begged, "Black lady...... Mother-in-law, please don't make trouble, okay? People really didn't treat me well, and they were kind enough to help me carry the burden. You can't do this, you you will have retribution for doing this. ”
"Retribution!"
The black-faced man said loudly: "I'm already so poor, what retribution are I afraid of?" Don't say anything, if this person loses money, I will cut two taels of pork and send it to you, and you can drink a broth." If there is no money, let go of the sale, mother-in-law ...... I look at the pig in your house and I'm about to get fat, do you still want it?"
An Zheng looked at the splashers, and then at the black-faced man. Then a disheveled woman stood up from the grass in the distance and ran out in terror farther away.
Only then did An Zheng react that the black-faced man before was not working in the field at all. The woman didn't know how afraid she was of this black-faced man, she didn't even dare to resist, and she didn't even dare to make a sound. At this time, he saw that the black-faced man was far away, so he dared to stand up and escape.
"How could you do such a brute thing!"
When the mother-in-law saw the woman in the distance fleeing, her face turned pale, and she went up to beat the black-faced man.
The black-faced man snorted coldly and said, "If it weren't for the fact that your daughter-in-law still has a little bit of beauty, I would have allowed your family to still plant this little bit of land?" Mother-in-law, your sick son died early, and if I hadn't helped your family work, you would have starved to death. To be honest, I also have true feelings for your daughter-in-law. Otherwise, why would I grow up in your field every day? ”
An Zheng frowned, his fingers hooked slightly, and his murderous intent rose.
He grabbed the old woman, looked at the black-faced man and asked, "How much are you going to want?"
"You have as much as you have. ”
The black-faced man said loudly, "I know you think I'm a bad person, but I'm not. The village is lonely, and from time to time bandits come over. If I hadn't guarded this village, I don't know how many people would have been killed. I like her daughter-in-law, and she is still guarding this village, so what happens to her when I sleep? Besides, if I can't get a little money once in a while, no one in this village can survive. I raise a village by myself, do you say I'm a wicked person?"
An Zheng looked at him, his mood extremely complicated.
