Chapter 65: The Blood Cuckoo in the Cold Rain [7]

"Miss, it's raining. ”

Sugar-fried chestnuts said.

But Zhao Mingming didn't answer.

An autumn rain and a cold, a spring rain and a warmth.

Zhao Mingming stood quietly by the puddle, watching the raindrops get heavier and heavier.

The rain in the northwest is not as dense as in the south.

It's always like a firecracker, smashing down the head and covering the face.

Sometimes it can make people sober, sometimes it can make people sink.

No one knows what Zhao Mingming's state of mind is at the moment.

No matter who it is, when he stays put, others always think that he is thinking something.

In fact, most of the time, she didn't think about anything.

It's just emptying myself.

"Miss, it's raining?!"

Sugar-fried chestnuts said again.

Zhao Mingming asked after opening her eyes.

"Miss...... You fell asleep before we were out of the game, and you had slept for four or five days now. ”

Sugar-fried chestnuts said.

The tone was a little urgent.

Zhao Mingming turned around suddenly, but the scenery in front of her gradually became illusory.

"How long did I sleep?"

"It's supposed to be five days, but the fifth day isn't over yet. ”

Sugar-fried chestnuts said.

"It was ambiguous before, how can it be so sure now?"

"Four or five days, is it four or five days?"

Zhao Mingming asked.

She had just woken up, still a little groggy ......

"I don't feel hungry......"

Zhao Mingming said.

Alien beasts are different from humans.

Zhao Mingming asked.

"Because every two days I buy a bag of sugar-fried chestnuts to eat. ”

Sugar-fried chestnuts said.

Sugar-fried chestnuts asked.

"It's okay...... It's just dreaming all the time. ”

Zhao Mingming said.

Even after the transformation, it can sleep for a long time.

Even if Zhao Mingming slept for a month, it would not make the sugar-fried chestnuts feel strange.

"Is Miss sleeping well?"

Zhao Mingming said.

"How could Miss think of this for no reason?"

Sugar-fried chestnuts asked.

"What did you dream about......? Hey, hey!"

Sugar-fried chestnuts said with a smile.

"Actually, I don't know if that's a dream...... Or maybe I relived everything in my mind from before we went down the mountain to when we entered the city. ”

Sugar-fried chestnuts asked.

"What about you?"

Zhao Mingming asked.

"I don't know...... Maybe it's been too long. ”

Zhao Mingming stretched her waist and said.

"Is Miss wanting to go home?"

And so she is.

Only then did she hear a crackling sound coming from the roof of the carriage.

"It's raining?"

"I'm fine. ”

Sugar-fried chestnuts said.

Zhao Mingming nodded.

"What a coincidence...... It had just rained in my dreams. ”

Zhao Mingming said with a smile.

"Isn't the world such a place full of coincidences?"

Zhao Mingming asked.

"Yes, it's raining, Miss. But just for a while. ”

Sugar-fried chestnuts said.

She had been asleep for the past few days.

But she didn't know where the sugar-fried chestnuts took her.

"Miss, we are now in the Zhenbei Domain. Now it should be the boundary of Yanzhou, and if you walk a river further, it will be Hongzhou. ”

Sugar-fried chestnuts turned around, squeezed their eyes at Zhao Mingming and said.

"Where are we now?"

Zhao Mingming asked.

"Why are we going to Hongzhou?"

Zhao Mingming asked.

She felt that the sugar-fried chestnuts must have been explored in advance, and Hongzhou should have some extremely interesting things.

Sugar-fried chestnuts said.

Zhao Mingming was a little surprised.

She didn't expect sugar-fried chestnuts to be able to figure these things out so clearly.

Zhao Mingming said.

"And that Hongzhou is also the location of the ore veins of the Zhenbei King Domain!"

Sugar-fried chestnuts said.

"Hongzhou is the largest state in the Zhenbei Domain. Not only is there enough soldiers and food, but Fucheng is also second only to Wangcheng in the Zhenbei Royal Domain. ”

Sugar-fried chestnuts said.

"I didn't expect you to still do a lot of homework, and these four days have not been in vain. ”

Sugar-fried chestnuts said.

"You're a little money fan...... Are you still thinking about the many silver tickets that were lost?"

Zhao Mingming said with a smile.

"What kind of mine?"

Zhao Mingming asked.

"I haven't figured it out, maybe it's gold!"

Her legs were dangling outside.

At this time, he also took it back and sat cross-legged.

The ground was getting muddy, but the speed of the wagon was slowing down.

"Of course! That's our stuff! Don't we have to make it up?!"

Sugar-fried chestnuts pouted and said.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier.

The horse neighed, but the speed was still unhurried.

"Of course it's not as good as the one we used to have...... But if it's gone, it's gone, be open-minded, don't be so careful!"

Zhao Mingming said.

"This carriage is really useless...... It's only rained a little, and I can't walk!"

Sugar-fried chestnuts said in an atmospheric manner.

Then he raised his whip and whipped it.

Zhao Mingming said.

"But that daughter-in-law is very annoying...... Miss, I can see clearly! There will always be annoying characters around good people!"

Sugar-fried chestnuts said.

"Damn human ......"

Sugar-fried chestnuts snorted angrily.

"Humans aren't all bad...... At least the old man and the young hunter are very good!"

Sugar-fried chestnuts said.

Although she didn't understand the meaning of Zhao Mingming's words.

But what the young lady says, there is always nothing wrong.

"You just think it's a balance. Isn't it the same between our nine mountains? As long as there are living beings, and living beings have enlightened their minds, then there will be endless fighting. This cannot be changed. ”

Zhao Mingming said.

"Miss is right!"

Not to mention the joy, it would be good if there was no crime in autumn.

But including her father Zhao Ze, they all regarded this agreement with the world as a delaying tactic.

As long as the time is ripe and the strength allows, Jiushan will definitely do all the strange beasts in the world to counterattack the world.

It's just that after Zhao Mingming finished speaking, she fell into deep thought.

Although the alien beasts in the Nine Mountains have signed an agreement with the humans of the Five Great Domains, the friction and strife have never stopped.

Zhao Mingming is very eager for the nine mountains and the world to maintain a basic balance.

In the past, although human beings were the first to upset the balance by hunting alien beasts on a large scale, now that the agreement has been signed and a new balance has been established, it is time to stop this dangerous idea of disagreeing with each other.

Whether it is the world or the nine mountains.

What this world needs most is balance.

Every time Zhao Mingming thinks of these things, she is very worried......

Especially after she has been walking on earth for so long, the worry in her heart is even worse.

Although the alien beast has all kinds of innate advantages, as a creature that sits on an equal footing with humans and has cultivated its sanity, it is a latecomer after all.

If you know how to balance, you can perceive the things and environment around you well, and your control over the thousands of worlds will also be significantly improved.

If this balance is lost, not only the individual, but the whole world will collapse because of it.

Isn't it under such circumstances that wars arise?

But the premise of making this world balanced is that everyone's emotions and thoughts in every other hand should also be balanced.

The beasts are always aggressive, believing that this balance is a sign of cowardice and retreat.

But Zhao Mingming feels that balance is just an objective and rational expression of a person's emotions.

The mountain masters of the Nine Mountains are trying their best to simplify this kind of restraint to the extreme.

But if you want to get rid of this comfort completely, you have to recklessly break the balance.

At the beginning, Zhao Mingming always liked to chat with his father.

However, the alien beasts do have their own troubles......

Although the place where Zhao Mingming lives is very good, the living environment of most of the alien beasts is still extremely poor.

This leads to a lot of unrealistic ideas, but if you want to do them, you can't get rid of the comfort of the environment.

If she had the slightest preference in her own heart, she would not have been able to find a correct way out.

As long as it is a civilized being, it needs an emotional sustenance.

Human beings in the human world will go to the temple to offer incense, and they will worship their ancestors during the Qingming Festival.

Tell us about her views on the future of the Nine Mountains, and how this world and the Nine Mountains can prosper together.

A girl's mind is always more detailed.

Zhao Mingming is constantly adjusting her mentality before pursuing the balance between the nine mountains and the world.

I always feel that there are thousands of miles of splendid scenery in the world, but I can only live in a corner, and it is very unreasonable to curl up on top of the nine mountains.

Even an insult.

This kind of ambition does not come first and last served.

These are not their own feelings to seek a catharsis and dependence.

The same goes for the beasts.

It's just that they put their feelings in the world.

Zhao Mingming once told her father:

"In the world, if you take it to the extreme, you can often only get away with it for a while. Only a balanced way can carry all things, and only an impartial behavior can be as durable as the cultivation of water. If it only falls to one side, the building will fall on that side, and in the end, a chicken will fly and an egg will be beaten, and the tree will fall and scatter. ”

But Zhao Ze scoffed at such remarks.

For such ambitions, the beasts can devote themselves wholeheartedly without any scruples.

When I put myself into it, I only look back at myself, but I have also reached a balanced existence.

The prospect of their own power and ambitions.

But these books were first brought to her by his father for her to read.

What's more, isn't this balanced thinking just to let Jiushan and his race stand proudly between heaven and earth for a longer time?

Why didn't his father understand......

I even think that Zhao Mingming has read too many books in the world, which leads her to think that she is not biased towards her own race!

Zhao Mingming was also very helpless......

She has really read a lot of books in the world.

But on the contrary, Zhao Ze felt that his daughter was so uncourageous!

In fact, Zhao Mingming has always been neither humble nor arrogant, nor tepid in her heart.

After all, this "those who know the times are handsome" is not groundless.

Human beings, as the masters of the human world, are often recognized by the Heavenly Dao Gang.

If the alien beasts continue to fight alone, the consequences can be imagined......

Zhao Mingming felt that his father, Zhao Ze, was overconfident in the abilities of the Nine Mountains Beasts.

After all, this desire is endless, and if you don't have enough self-control to balance what you lose and what you gain, it's like holding a torch against the wind, and you will burn your hands.

Those who are too radical will only go to extremes, and eventually lose themselves and the ability to think.

Zhao Mingming summed up the mentality of the alien beasts as ignorance.

Even if it has been thirty years in the east and west of the river, it is not the turn of the beasts of the Nine Mountains to rejoice.

Until this moment comes, all that can be done is patience.

Being able to bend and stretch is the greatest vision.

"You say, our Jiushan, if we really come to the world, what will it be like?"

Zhao Mingming said.

This sentence sounds like asking about fried chestnuts with sugar, but it is actually Zhao Mingming's own words.

Along the way, everywhere she went, she carefully recorded what she saw and heard.

I hope that when he returns to Lieshan, these notes will give his father some touches and some changes.

After all, that's all she can do until now......

It was a responsibility that came with her from birth.

It is also the person in the young hunter's account.

As a daughter, she has the responsibility to think about the future of her father and her family.

Although she always looks cold on weekdays, as if it is none of her business, she hangs high.

But her heart is always hot and hot.

This is not Zhao Mingming's original intention, nor is it her character.

Sugar-fried chestnuts said.

"What do you say?"

Zhao Mingming asked.

But his father, who was the leader of their tribe, was the lord of the mountains.

Outsiders only saw the glamour of Zhao Mingming's life, how did they know the burden she was bearing behind her?

"It's all in the world, I'm afraid I'll have to shed a lot of blood......"

Sugar-fried chestnuts said.

"Isn't it more selfish that you don't meddle in your business, and why does you shed so much blood?"

Zhao Mingming asked.

The words of sugar-fried chestnuts made his eyes shine.

This kind of thinking coincides with hers.

"Because humans are a very selfish race. ”

But he was a little impressed by the sugar-fried chestnuts.

I thought this little guy was an optimist.

As long as there is good food and fun, you can swim comfortably, and you don't care about anything.

"If there were no outside forces, of course there would be endless infighting between people...... After all, no one is convinced. Miss, you just look at the five royal domains, on the surface they are all polite, but in fact, is it really like this for a long time? ”

Sugar-fried chestnuts said.

Zhao Mingming nodded.

"So the best way is to keep to yourself. ”

Zhao Mingming said.

"That's right, aren't those who read the book the most important thing about moderation?

Where did she think that her mind was actually transparent and deep?

"But when there are foreign forces, human beings can twist into a rope in an instant. When they invaded our Jiushan in the past, didn't we Jiushan also put down their estrangement and gap, and fought side by side against the enemy? If we were not united, where would we still have the current days? I am afraid that we would have been wiped out by human beings a long time ago and took the demon pill in our body......

Sugar-fried chestnuts continued.

The ability is eye-catching enough.

If you continue to make great progress, you will be ruined.

The fruit of peanuts always bears deep soil layers.

Sugar-fried chestnuts said.

Zhao Mingming smiled lightly, the word mean is easy to say, but for so many years in the history of the world, there are few people who can do it.

In the eyes of humans, the beasts of the Nine Mountains are like a delicate flower.

Exposed but not hidden, danger by its side.

Only this concealment and exposure can be the golden mean.

Zhao Mingming wanted to talk to his father Zhao Ze about this kind of Taoism before leaving, but when he thought of his attitude last time, he could only give up.

One hidden, one revealed.

Zhao Mingming can't say what kind of one is good, but it is always the most appropriate choice to have both, not to go to extremes.

Hide but not leak, after the world.

Zhao Mingming said suddenly.

"When do you think the time is?"

Sugar-fried chestnuts asked.

Not to mention that the alien beasts will inherently reject these various truths of human beings.

Especially when it comes to rhetoric that resembles balance and moderation, and even more so they feel that it is ambiguous, passable, and muddy.

"We should find the right time......

Sugar-fried chestnuts suddenly felt a little emotional.

Zhao Mingming looked at her back and felt that she looked like an old man.

"Don't think about it, find a place to shelter from the rain! I look at the horses and they are tired and hungry......"

"I don't know...... But it's not now!"

Zhao Mingming's tone was decisive.

"I don't know if we'll see when the time comes. ”

"Why? Are you always abusing people?"

Zhao Mingming asked.

"Miss...... It's that it's abusing me...... When you encounter a flat road, no matter how much you scold, you really don't go...... As soon as you encounter a bumpy place, you don't need to be urged, you just fly, and you run. It hurts all the ass that sits me here on the pad...... Miss, you say, I'm not the one who was abused!"

Zhao Mingming said.

"I tell you, Miss, this horse is too lazy to die!"

Sugar-fried chestnuts said.

"Miss, why do you always help other families talk?"

Sugar-fried chestnuts pouted and said dissatisfiedly.

"I never speak for anyone, I've always been reasonable. ”

Sugar-fried chestnuts said very aggrievedly.

"Then it is estimated that you treated him badly before, so he will wait for the opportunity to take revenge on you like this! Although this horse has not yet been enlightened, he is also thoughtful and conscious. If you know how it is, it will naturally give back. ”

Zhao Mingming said.

Zhao Mingming heard the power of her ears, and her body was suddenly stunned.

Then he smiled very miserably.

She has always been full of love for her own people and the mountains.

Zhao Mingming said.

"No wonder the people in the clan say that the young lady is ruthless and unjust......"

Sugar-fried chestnuts muttered in a low voice.

Zhao Mingming asked herself if she couldn't be so decisive.

Many times, she is calm and objective, just to not let herself be carried away by emotions, so that she can make the most beneficial choice for the race and the mountains.

But the incomprehension and even criticism in the clan made her really feel haggard.

Unexpectedly, in the end, it was a ruthless and unrighteous judgment.

In the history of mankind, there are many stories of righteous annihilation.

This is all a model of the so-called standing on the truth and being ruthless and unrighteous.

Sugar-fried chestnuts said playfully.

"Those so-called heroes and heroes often flaunt how self-sacrificing they are, how they cut off their personal feelings and selfishness. It doesn't matter whether such a person exists or not, but do you really think that this is the right way? It is said that tigers are poisonous and do not eat children...... When we were still not yet enlightened and were only beasts, we also knew how to maintain our own families and take care of our offspring, but when you look at human beings, including us in the Nine Mountains, how many of them have discarded even the most basic after they have been enlightened?

Sugar-fried chestnuts continued.

"Ruthless may not be a true hero, how can a poor son not be a husband......"

Zhao Mingming said silently.

"Miss, you are a daughter, where is there a heroic husband. ”

Sugar-fried chestnuts said timidly.

She looked back slightly.

I'm afraid that Zhao Mingming is really angry.

"You seem to be accusing me......"

Zhao Mingming said indifferently.

"There is no young lady...... I didn't mean that......"

She feared that she had said the wrong thing if she wasn't paying attention.

Although she has a good relationship with Zhao Mingming, she is still a master and servant after all.

It is a great disrespect to be a subordinate and make the master unhappy.

"I don't know how other people are, and I can't easily say what I don't know. As far as I'm concerned, I don't think so. When the people in the clan were drinking, did they think about whether there would be wine to drink tomorrow? When they ate meat, did they think that there would be meat to eat tomorrow? Preparing for a rainy day was always considered a big fuss, even by my father's old fellow...... But if you really set your heart down and think about these things, you will be like me, you will not be able to drink wine or eat meat. ”

Zhao Mingming said.

Sugar-fried chestnuts did not answer.

"Miss, this is a bit WeChat!"

Sugar-fried chestnuts said.

But after she finished speaking, she immediately regretted it......

So far, where do you dare to talk about sugar-fried chestnuts?

"The young hunter drank to ward off the cold. Life and environment force you to do it as a last resort. In the capital city of Dingzhou, we drink with Liu Ruiying, usually for fun and pastime, and the other half is also for a deeper understanding of human beings?"

Zhao Mingming said.

But I just don't want to open which pot to mention......

"That's right...... In fact, no one is as high-sounding as they think. I drank with him because I thought he was a very interesting person. It's my personal emotion, and it has nothing to do with anything else. ”

Zhao Mingming sighed and said leisurely.

Why don't you think you can control this mouth?

Miss Fang Cai was obviously already a little unhappy...... Why don't you just follow her words?

After she said a good time, the unhappiness could disappear.

Zhao Mingming grabbed the conversation and said.

"That's like, he's human!"

Sugar-fried chestnuts said in shock.

Sugar-fried chestnuts, but I didn't expect my young lady to admit it so bluntly and generously.

"So Miss has some ...... for him"

"I have some different feelings for him. ”

"If that aside...... Liu Ruiying is indeed an interesting person. It's just a bit silly, though. ”

Sugar-fried chestnuts said.

"He's not stupid. ”

"What about human beings? Then you said, we are all enlightened beings in this heaven and earth. Now that we have sanity, what are we going to do with each other?

Zhao Mingming said.

Now that she has said it, she is no longer hiding.

"People often think it's silly for a person to be preoccupied with a certain goal. But that's actually the smartest of all. ”

Zhao Mingming said.

"Does the young lady think I'm smart?"

Zhao Mingming smiled and said.

"Miss, this wine is starting to help him talk?"

Sugar-fried chestnuts teased.

The sugar-fried chestnut snorted unconvinced.

"Miss, what's that?"

Sugar-fried chestnuts suddenly leaned forward and pointed to the inside in front of him.

Sugar-fried chestnuts asked.

"You...... It's too clever! Beware of being clever in the end!"

Zhao Mingming said.

Zhao Mingming heard the sound and looked ahead, as if there was a person's body in the middle of the road.

But the rain was too heavy...... Let her see a little blurry.

"There's a faint bloody ......"

Zhao Mingming's nose fluttered and said.
