Chapter 16 One sleeps deeply, and the other sleeps lightly

I'd rather be a peace dog than a chaotic person!

In troubled times, a living person may not live as well as a dog in the prosperous times. Even if Chu Chou has seen a lot of scenes of the collapse of the country and the chaos of the times, every time he hears the crying of the people in the troubled times and sees the numb and desperate eyes of the people in the troubled times, he will feel a little touched. Zhao Zhishui saw this kind of scene for the first time, her face was pale all the time, and she tightly clenched the corners of her master's clothes.

Chu Chou had seen many people selling their sons and daughters in troubled times before, and he had also seen a hellish picture on earth when he was so hungry that he exchanged his children with other people's children and roasted them.

For rich and noble families, the troubled times may be just "a bucket of gold and a bucket of corn", and for poor families, they can't afford rice and noodles, which is the result of the destruction of the family.

When it was close to dusk, the Broken Pond Kingdom was unable to turn the tide of the world after all, and under the suppression of absolute troops, it was defeated like a mountain. The hooves of the Lanshan Kingdom still stepped on the royal road in the capital of the Broken Pond Kingdom.

Thousands of scholars died at the city gate, and the civil and military companions of the Manchu Dynasty all died on the city wall, drawing a singing and crying end to this century-old dynasty.

Tianjie stepped on the bones of the princess, and there was no one in the Zhumen of the first brother!

At this time, Wu Xiaohu, who was standing on the city wall and planting the flag of Lanshan Country, was silent, looking at the enemy men who were fighting to the death, and hugged a punch.

"General, are you still slaughtering the city?" the young lieutenant general was no longer as high-spirited as before the battle, and he scolded Fang Xuan, and asked in a dull tone.

"No need. Go and count the casualties of the robes, and let the brothers go into the city to rest. Wu Xiaohu shook his head, then looked at the moat that was completely dyed red, and said, "The whole city is heroic!

The afterglow of the setting sun slanted over the earth, with the dull breath of twilight, and the figure pulled by the last bleak afterglow was long, long.

One big and one small left the city full of dead souls, left the small country that was not small, and walked on a large plain overgrown with wild grass. This plain is also wide, and it is difficult to see the end at a glance, so Zhao Zhishui feels very tired.

"Master, why didn't those people before surrender? If they did, wouldn't they not die? Even if they didn't surrender and struggle, it would be a senseless sacrifice! Is it worth it? Zhao Zhishui still didn't hold back after all, and asked.

"Indeed, there are many examples of surrendering and then surviving. The division has seen the largest number of surrenders once. It was when the West Pole Empire unified the West Pole that there was a big country that was enough to rank among the upper kingdoms and surrendered without a fight. All survived. At that time, many countries that were resisting were taunting and insulting, and there was a poem in which I still remember it. ”

"The flag was lowered at the head of Shenyu City, and only women wore battle clothes. 800,000 people have been unarmoured, and the men of the whole country have nowhere to find them!"

In the end, the people of this country survived humiliatingly, and all the men became coolies, building walls for the West Pole Empire, and most of them died of exhaustion. And those countries that mocked the Shenyu Kingdom at the beginning were all defeated by the West Pole Empire, and then many cities were slaughtered. ”

"Of course, it is better to live than to die, and it is better to die than to live. But one person or two people are so understandable, if no one in the whole country stands up and holds his head high to be that hero, then this is the sorrow of that country, which means that the spirit of that country is no longer there. There is a line between life and death, and if you sleep, you can get up for life, and if you can't get up when you sleep, you are for death. It's just that if the spirit is gone, it's hard to have it anymore. This is true for both a person and a country. ”

And those scholars, those who read, attach even more importance to these. Confucianism pays attention to a 'rise and fall of the world, and the husband is responsible.' For the hometown where they were born and raised, a country is a world. However, this is only a rough statement, and everyone's concept is different. Some people think that the world is the world, some people think that one country and one place are the world, and some people think that one sect and one door is the world. At the end, Chu Chou glanced at the golden sunset at the end of the plain, and said, "Some people think that one person is the whole world. ”

"Master, Master, I don't think I understand what you're saying. Zhao Zhishui pondered for a while, but still frowned, and said a little weakly.

"It doesn't matter. You just need to watch and listen more now, you don't need to understand. As a teacher, I don't want you to really understand many profound truths, because if you get this, you will always lose that, and if you really understand, you must have experienced it. You're still young, just be happy and happy every day. Chu Chou touched Zhao Zhishui's head, "On the shoulders of the young man, there is no need to carry any big burdens, the sky is falling, and the master is holding it." You just have to watch the flowers bloom and fall into the clouds, the breeze and the bright moon grass grow and the warbler flies. ”

The autumn wind rises, and the night is cold.

It wasn't dark yet, but it was a little chilly. Sure enough, late autumn has arrived.

From time to time, there are flocks of 'human' geese flying south in the sky, and occasionally one or two stragglers will chirp a few times, which makes people feel depressed.

"Master, there's a village in front of you! you don't have to sleep on the ground at night!" Zhao Zhishui pointed to the village that had already had a few lights in the distance, and was overjoyed.

The setting sun casts the last afterglow on the world, making the autumn colors of the distant village picturesque, and the yellow among the mangroves.

"Huh, there are so many people in the rivers and lakes?" Chu Chou cultivated to a high level, and he sensed that the people in this village were not ordinary people from a long distance.

"The murderous aura is so strong. Chu Chou took Zhao Zhishui into the village. With Chu Chou's cultivation, in this world, you can go anywhere, and you can almost get out of the whole body, at most it is nothing more than a little injury.

When he was at the entrance of the village, Chu Chou saw several middle-aged people with third- and fourth-grade cultivation standing and chatting at the entrance of the village, and their eyes were not kind to Chu Chou and Zhao Zhishui. When he and Zhao Zhishui entered the village, those middle-aged people followed behind Chu Chou and them, as if they were monitoring the master and apprentice.

When Chu Chou went deep into the village, he was stopped by two middle-aged men in front of him.

"Who are you two, where are you from, what are you doing here?" asked one of the men in a brown shirt.

"We come from a small sect in a neighboring country, and I am an elder in the sect, and this time I am taking my closed disciples to travel around the rivers and lakes. Who knew that it was getting late, and we didn't know much about the location of the surrounding villages and towns, so we had to go to your village to spend the night, hoping that the eldest brothers would understand. Chu Chou said with a smile, then took out a few pieces of broken silver from his sleeve, and then put it in the hand of the man in the brown shirt.

The middle-aged men who had been secretly following Chu Chou also came over and looked at Chu Chou with unkind expressions.

"A little respect, just invite the brothers to drink. Chu Chou smiled slightly, took out some broken silver from his arms, and handed it to the man in the brown shirt.

The man saw that he was quite knowledgeable, and when he was collecting the cashier, he probed the young man's internal strength, but after he was at the peak of the second grade, he was no longer embarrassed, and asked people to lead the way to find a dilapidated house for Chu Chou and Zhao Zhishui.

"Tomorrow morning, as soon as the sky is light, we will leave quickly!" said the middle-aged man who brought Chu Chou and the two of them with a gloomy face, and his tone was not good.

"Okay, it must be!" Chu Chou nodded hurriedly, pretending to be very scared.

The middle-aged man's face was not so gloomy at this time, and he nodded and left here.

"Master, the people here seem to be from the rivers and lakes. Zhao Zhishui said in confusion.

"Well, most of them are between the third and fourth grades, and there are a few fifth-grade and one sixth-grade realm in the middle of the village. The comprehensive strength is relatively strong. And when I observe their internal forces and the exercises they practice, this should be a nest of killer organizations. Chu Chou judged.

"But rest assured, there is a master. We'll leave tomorrow morning, without too much involvement. ”

"Well, okay. Zhao Zhishui nodded and fell asleep peacefully.

Nothing was said all night. Inside the house, one person sleeps deeply, and one person sleeps lightly.
