Chapter 208: Disappearing
Cheng Xiaolian smiled bitterly, and said in his heart that the ancients were very awe-inspiring about ghosts and gods, and he couldn't imagine that even Yang Youcai could not be exempt from vulgarity, and he could do something on it in the future, which is a good way to unite people's hearts, but it can't be used often, otherwise it will be played badly, and all the achievements accumulated in front will disappear.
He glanced at Yang Youcai: "Ghosts are afraid of wicked people, Yang Youcai, I think you are quite evil, ghosts see you have to take a detour, but when you kill people, you have a heart that you can't bear, so you always blame yourself over and over again, maybe there are indeed people who shouldn't be killed among the people you kill." ”
Yang Youcai sighed: "In the past, Jinyiwei was doing things for the emperor, and there was never right or wrong to kill people, and the emperor asked them to kill them, so those seniors probably never encountered this kind of thing, but when I did this work, the emperor was gone, and I killed those innocent people because of keeping secrets, although I felt that there was nothing wrong with doing this, but there would always be a trace of guilt, and I didn't know whether it was right or wrong to do so." ”
"Of course it's right, you have at least saved the Jinyiwei, if you let the ancestors of the Jinyiwei know, they will crawl out of the grave to thank you, if it weren't for the Jinyiwei, how many more people would die in our war? After this calculation, the comrades in the army and the ancestors of the Jinyi Guard are all around you to protect you, what else do you have to be afraid of? ”
Cheng Xiaolian sighed in his heart, he still can't abide by the feelings and standards of the future, he also wants citizens' property and lives to be sacrosanct, but this is a gradual process, if you want to do it in one step, it is very likely to be regarded as a neurotic like Wang Mang, and then quickly defeated.
So he began to learn to adapt to the norms of this era, he could only comfort himself, one day he would sow these seeds of birth equality, maybe a hundred years, maybe longer, those equality and freedom will always sprout, and now he can only fight for him to have the opportunity to sow the seeds, he doesn't even have the right to speak, even if he spreads his ideas, where will anyone listen?
So he gave up caring about how the fugitive blacksmith lived, and gave up asking those who were killed by Yang Youcai why their lives were like mustard, there are many things in this world that will not be carried out according to people's will, and people don't need to embarrass themselves all the time, if you want to open a little, you can live longer, and you can do more things, which is much better than boring complaining.
From this moment on, Cheng Xiaolian completely let go of the burden in his heart, he didn't know whether it was right or wrong to do this, but now he can only follow his people to be responsible, he has no great feelings and is not a saint, if it is a multiple-choice question, he is willing to save his people and sacrifice others. As for historical merits and demerits, let anyone judge it.
Yang Youcai's eyes gradually lit up: "Yes, there are tens of thousands of ancestors and ancestors of the Jinyi Guard, they will definitely bless us, what are those evil ghosts?" You're right, the little shopkeeper, ghosts are afraid of wicked people, and I'm probably not evil enough. ”
Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "I think you should not be too evil, otherwise it is easy to lose the bottom line of being a man, at that time, it is easy to lose heart, people still have some awe to live longer, Emperor Taizu said, the golden cup is a total of drink, and the white blade is not forgiving!" ”
Yang Youcai smiled: "Your Highness, don't worry, no matter what, I will never smash the Jinyiwei's signboard." ”
In a short time all the people who were working around came back, and began to make a fire to cook, and the fire was set up in the yard, and they did not dare to bring the fire into the house, or it would heat people to death at night.
After everyone had eaten, the sky was getting darker, and Yang Youcai, who had recovered his state, began to arrange the manpower on duty at night, divided into three shifts, each shift lasted an hour and a half.
Even though it was night, it was very hot, so naturally there was no fun in surrounding the fire, and everyone kept slapping the mosquitoes on their bodies, hoping that they would not be eaten by the mosquitoes.
One of the people on duty at night muttered, "Didn't you say that this village is a ghost village?" Why can't these mosquitoes starve to death? ”
The person next to him smiled bitterly: "I heard that this mosquito can be vegetarian but prefers to eat meat, probably these are vegetarians so they can survive, and they have resumed the essence of eating meat and drinking blood by themselves." ”
If Cheng Xiaolian heard it, he would definitely explain it to them, this mosquito is divided into male mosquitoes and female mosquitoes, and the male eats vegetarian and the female eats meat, but now they can only imagine it at will.
Just when a few of them were chatting with each other, several black shadows suddenly appeared around and quietly touched them.
The people on duty at night were all standing, and it would be easy to fall asleep if they were sitting, and Yang Youcai personally divided the people to ensure that there were Jinyi guards in every night duty team, so one of the Jinyi guards suddenly raised his drowsy head: "There is a situation." ”
Several people around were all awake, but they had just heard that this village was haunted, after all, in this era, the theory of ghosts and gods was very popular, and they were all sleepy for a while, looking at the brocade guard who spoke: "What's wrong?" ”
"I have a feeling that we're being targeted."
A person who used to follow Meng Ke next to him asked, "Big brother, aren't you having a nightmare?" ”
Another brocade guard waved his hand: "His feeling has always been very accurate, let's take a look around, don't really be taken advantage of by others." ”
Lao Laotou nodded: "It's all up to you." ”
Then they dispersed and circled the courtyard in pairs, holding sticks in their hands and stabbing twice against the wall from time to time.
It was a landlord's yard, so the place was huge, and when they came back from a circle, they found that there were two people missing. Those two people were Meng Ke's subordinates, and they were supposed to go to the southwest to inspect, but they waited for a while and didn't come back, and they shouted a few times and didn't respond.
At this time, Cheng Xiaolian and Yang Youcai had already woken up, and several people walked out: "What's the matter?" ”
A brocade guard had a somewhat ugly face: "Something happened, the two of them suddenly disappeared, this courtyard may be really haunted." ”
Yang Youcai glared at him: "Wicked people like us, we have to retreat when we see ghosts, go, follow me to see." ”
Cheng Xiaolian coughed: "Don't worry, let me ask a few words, you didn't hear any other movement when they disappeared?" ”
A brocade guard suddenly spoke: "I seem to have heard a sound of breaking wind, but it disappeared quickly, and I didn't hear a human voice, so I didn't care." ”
What he said also makes sense, if those people are attacked by someone, they will definitely make a sound, even if they are blocked by a sword, they can make a muffled snort, but they disappear without making any sound, which is indeed a bit weird.
