Chen Changsheng thought that there might be some interesting things about Ximing City in the wine.

But as we chatted, things took a turn for the worse.

Long Zhongzheng's mouth was nothing but bitterness.

The pressure of being alive has made him forget a lot of things, he has become a lot simpler, when Nian Yun met him, he was still talking about the big scene, and now there is only how to live.

The world has changed.

It became strange to Chen Changsheng.

He let out a long sigh.

When he looked up at the full moon overhead, he couldn't help but wonder if he should do something.

Often, all of a sudden, I don't understand myself.

It seems that things in the world will always have a pattern, and you shouldn't get involved in these things.

But it seems to be ......

This was not the case with my former self.

"What do you think?" Long Zhongzheng asked.

"What do I wonder if I can do?"

"Do what?"

"To this world."

After hearing this, Long Zhongzheng smiled and said: "I'm afraid that you have drunk too much, how is the world, and where can we decide." ”

"I can't say for sure."

Chen Changsheng said with a smile: "What is the way of the world, in the end, it is not determined by people, isn't it also people who change this?" Am I not human? Aren't you human? ”

Long Zhongzheng paused for a moment and said, "Why are you even scolding yourself like this?" ”

"It's just an analogy." Chen Changsheng said with a smile.

Long Zhongzheng waved his hand and said, "Next time, let's change the word, but listen to you, you really seem to have drunk too much, don't think about those unrealistic things, what we think about now is that it is already very good to be alive." ”

"What if I have the skills?" Chen Changsheng asked.

Long Zhongzheng smiled and joked: "If you have this ability, then you can try it, I also hope that this world will change back, so I don't have to worry about these worries, so why don't you hurry up?" Still asking me here? ”

He didn't take Chen Changsheng's words seriously, he just felt that it was just a big talk in ordinary times.

Chen Changsheng thought for a moment and said: "I have wanted to do such things before, but then I found that many of the things I have done are not worth it, just like saying, you want to make this world better, but those high-ranking and powerful people don't want this world to change back to the past, what they need is chaos, no matter how hard you try, they will be disrupted again." ”

"That's why some things don't make sense."

"You're really drunk." Long Zhongzheng shook his head.

Chen Changsheng said with a smile: "Chen is not drunk, isn't this just talking to you about business." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll just treat you as if you're not drunk." Long Zhongzheng raised his head to look at him, and then asked, "So what is the problem?" ”

Chen Changsheng heard him ask this, and also thought about this question.

So what's the problem?

It is the greed of human nature, the desire for imperial power, the indifference to life, and the contempt for morality......

Chen Changsheng came back to his senses and looked at Long Zhongzheng: "Thoughts! ”

"Huh?"

Long Zhongzheng looked into his eyes, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, Chen Changsheng's gaze seemed to be particularly serious, not at all like he was drunk and joking.

Chen Changsheng stood up, he smiled, looked at Long Zhongzheng and said, "Thank you." ”

"Huh?"

Long Zhongzheng hummed again, holding the wine bowl and looking at Chen Changsheng with some puzzlement.

Chen Changsheng raised the wine bowl and handed it over to signal.

Long Zhongzheng didn't understand what Chen Changsheng had in mind.

He hesitated, then raised his bowl to touch it.

Immediately, Chen Changsheng raised his head and drank all the wine in the bowl.

Seeing this, Long Zhongzheng also drank the wine cleanly.

Then he said: "What else is crazy, all at the same time." ”

Chen Changsheng smiled: "Don't go crazy. ”

The two pots of wine were also drunk, and the food prepared on the table was also bottomed out.

Long Zhongzheng cleaned up the house for Chen Changsheng and let him live here, Chen Changsheng did not refuse, and after saying thank you, he lived with peace of mind.

It is worth mentioning that the night in Ximing City is particularly quiet.

Such tranquility, on the contrary, is unsettling.

It's too quiet.

It's like a dead city.

It's always been like this here.

……

When he woke up in the morning, there were several more corpses at the city gate, and Chen Changsheng took a look when he passed by, one of them was the one he had seen yesterday.

Then he stood in front of him.

The temperature difference between day and night here is extremely large, and it is possible that they were frozen to death and starved to death in this cold wind.

After seeing it, Chen Changsheng felt very uncomfortable.

But he couldn't do anything, he could save one person, but he couldn't save thousands.

There will be a time when manpower will run out.

Long Zhongzheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "You pity them, it's better to pity me, pity yourself." ”

Chen Changsheng smiled helplessly and didn't say anything.

Many shops on the street of Ximingcheng are empty, now in this world, it is a difficult thing to do business, miscellaneous taxes are not finished, not only do not make money in a year, but also lose a lot, over time, there are no shops to open.

Most of the shops that are still open today have backgrounds.

Chen Changsheng's gaze finally stayed on a shop selling pen, ink and paper.

He paused for a moment.

"Chen buys something."

"Uh-huh."

Chen Changsheng bought a few pages of paper, a pen, and a few blank books.

When Long Zhongzheng saw him buying these, he couldn't help asking, "Are you still doing learning?" ”

"Write on weekdays to pass the time."

"That's fine."

"What, is it cheap to do scholarship now?"

"In this world, what's the use of learning?"

"It's not useless, is it?"

Long Zhongzheng shook his head and smiled: "You don't know, now those people above have put away all the books, and the readers don't have books to read, so they still read a book." ”

Chen Changsheng frowned after hearing this, and said, "I remember that when Xixiao was in the beginning, King Xixiao was very prosperous in education, and books were never left behind. ”

"It's all burning."

Long Zhongzheng said: "At that time, many scholars in the northwest criticized King Kang for ignoring the people's livelihood, and scolded him particularly harshly, King Kang was angry, and ordered people to collect books from house to house, and burned one when they received one, as long as all the books of the people were burned, whether it was a play or any miscellaneous talk, the reader had no books, and the reason would be cut off, and naturally he could only be controlled. ”

"Why leave no room for ......," Chen Changsheng sighed.

Long Zhongzheng said: "Isn't this obvious, these people have no humanity at all, they don't care about anything except power and money." ”

"Scholars like to scold me, so I'll burn all his books, cut off the way directly, and then kill them one by one, until they dare not speak."

"Pretty effective."
