"Okay, you dare to fool me, see if I won't hit you!"

Guo Hao stood up and pounced on Qiunan. Qiunan raised his leg and ran, but Qiunan could run anywhere before Guo Hao, and he did not have the advantage in terms of height or speed.

"Haha, you've caught you!"

Guo Hao grabbed Qiu Nan, hugged him and started spanking. Qiu Nan could not speak, but could only struggle. Guo Hao did not hit him hard, just scaring him.

But Qiu Nan lay on Guo Hao's lap, his little face slowly turned red, but Guo Hao didn't pay any attention at all. He hit him a few times and put him down, sat on the stone and looked into the distance.

"Qiuan, what do you say people live for?"

Guo Hao suddenly asked this question, and the question seemed a bit complicated. Guo Hao didn't remember to read his answer and said to himself.

"I used to think that a person's life is nothing more than fame and fortune, but now it seems that this is not practical. First of all, we must survive..."

In the blink of an eye, Guo Hao has been here for half a year. In the past six months, he has heard and seen many things.

The small village outside Kaifeng City is not as peaceful as you imagined. There are often accidents, and many people never come back after going out.

This kind of thing didn't happen to me, and I might not feel it, but the Guo family was also on the edge of the cliff at this time, and if you take a step back, you will be doomed.

As the Chinese New Year approached, the court collected taxes several times, and the Guo family was plundered and nothing was left, so they could barely make a living. Some families had no money and even the food for the Chinese New Year was taken away. Those who had to go hungry during the Chinese New Year could only go hungry.

A good holiday has left many people with lingering fear, and the people are even afraid of celebrating the festival, because the government will find reasons to collect taxes during the festival.

Due to the government, the New Year was very bleak, and every household dared not take care of it, and the village was also very deserted, even worse than usual.

As the cold winter passes, spring is blooming, the people have all come out. In order to survive, they have embarked on the road that they may not be able to return.

Guo Hao had never imagined such a scene before, but when he saw it, he couldn't believe it.

Guo Hao felt a little cold, so he got up and moved for a while, and looked down and saw Qiu Nan writing a few words on the ground. First, the words "eat" and the words "survival" below.

Qiunan understood the meaning of eating, but he did not understand the meaning of survival.

"You also think what I said makes sense. This is actually very contradictory. Literally speaking, survival is living, but survival has more meaning than living.

Living is just a breath, and survival requires consideration of how to live. The ancients said that when a person dies, it may be more important than Mount Tai, and too lighter than a feather. In fact, the same is true for living.

Some people are awake but they are asleep, some are alive but they are dead, some seem smart, but they are actually fools, and some seem stupid, but they actually..."

Guo Hao suddenly felt that he was talking a little too much today. Maybe he didn't speak much in the winter. He grabbed an audience that he couldn't resist and said nothing.

"You can't understand what I said. It doesn't matter. As long as you keep studying, you will understand sooner or later.

By the way, don’t forget to find out the books when you go back. I’ll see what books are there. If it’s useful, let’s learn them together. If it’s useless, you can burn the fire.”

Qiu Nan nodded obediently when he heard this. Guo Hao felt that today was almost done, so he asked him to go back first. It was still cold. After all, it was early spring and the weather was still a bit cold.

...

After Qiunan left, Guo Hao did not go home, but came to the city gate. He thought about it for a month at home, and always felt that the beggar was a hidden danger.

Looking back on the scene of meeting that day, although there were only a few words, the more Guo Hao thought about it, the more he felt that his beggar spoke extraordinaryly and spoke literally, and he obviously had read books.

Moreover, he traveled around the world and ate human flesh, which shows that he has experienced a lot and is very determined and terrifying.

At that time, Guo Hao was not prepared and was curious about the Beggars' Sect. After learning about this period of time, Guo Hao knew that there was indeed no such organization among the people.

In this way, the affairs of the Beggars' Sect are not something that a child can know. At that time, Guo Hao talked to him in an adult tone, but the other party didn't find it strange. This is the most terrifying thing.

Guo Hao squatted at the city gate, covered in soil. When the people who were coming and going saw it, they thought he was a beggar.

"Hey, isn't this the fool of the Guo family in Chengnan Village? Why did you come here?"

A group of children often played nearby. All the soldiers guarding the city knew each other, and one of them knew Guo Hao and said to the other soldiers.

"Yes, why did he come here? He was a beggar before that location. Does he want to be a beggar too?"

"He is a beggar? I'm afraid he can't even beg for food!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Guo Hao heard the ridicule of the soldiers, but he was not angry, and he still had a silly expression on his face, and he was still laughing at the soldiers.

Guo Hao squatted at the door and looked at the passers-by curiously. At this time, a wealthy businessman passed by and threw him a lot of money, but Guo Hao turned a blind eye.

"Look, he is such a fool. He doesn't want to give him any money!"

"He doesn't want us to pick it up. We can buy five buns with a big money!"

"You pick it up? If you pick it up, you will become a beggar?"

"What do you know? He begged at the city gate and occupied our territory. What's wrong with us collecting some taxes from him!"

"It's this!"

The two soldiers successfully convinced themselves. One of them walked to Guo Hao and bent down to pick up the big money on the ground. Guo Hao didn't respond after seeing it, but just smiled foolishly.

At this time, most of the money used for making money were Tang coins, and copper coins were large and small. The larger ones were more copper than the smaller ones, so they were naturally more valuable than the smaller ones.

The soldier took away the big money, as if he felt something was wrong. He took out a small amount of money from his arms and handed it to Guo Hao and said, "This is for you, this is mine, how can we change it?"

Guo Hao saw Xiao Qian's eyes lit up, grabbed Xiao Qian, held it in his hand and said happily: "Qian, I want to eat buns!"

After saying that, he ran to the bun shop next to him, bought a bun for a penny, and finished it after eating it in two or three bites. He seemed to feel unsatisfied, so he pretended to think for a while, and then returned to the city gate.

At this time, the soldiers could no longer hold back and laughed.

"Look at this fool, I don't want to give him a lot of money, but I want to make a small amount of money. I eat buns like dogs, and I just swallow them without chewing them."

"Isn't they just called Dogwa? What's wrong with dogs? Dogwa, Dogwa, aren't they just dogs..."

No matter what the soldiers said, Guo Hao pretended not to hear it, and continued to squat at the city gate, looking at the passing pedestrians curiously. Instead of begging, many people were curious.

After squatting for about an hour, Guo Hao felt that the time was almost over, so he got up and left the city gate, causing the soldiers to laugh at him again.

When he returned home, Guo Hao found that his parents were all there. He did not remember to enter the house, but built a big tree in the yard.

"Kill, kill you, hehe, kill you!"

Guo Hao punched and kicked Dashu, and was talking crazy words. The two of them in the room sighed deeply and looked at each other tacitly.

At night, Guo Hao did not sleep well. The more stupid he acted, the less attention the couple would be, making Guo Hao very embarrassed.

"It's not a solution to continue like this. If you want to find an opportunity, you must find a place to live by yourself."

Guo Hao made up his mind and came to the bottom of the hill the next morning and found that Qiunan had not come. Guo Hao wrote a few words on the ground and then started exercising on his own.

After about a stick of incense, Qiunan trotted over and was holding a package that should have a book inside.

"Have you taken it all?"

Qiu Nan nodded.

Guo Hao took the package and opened it and found that there were more than ten copies.

Guo Hao looked at Qiunan in surprise. No wonder he came late. He was holding more than ten books and could not attract others' attention. He didn't know how Qiunan did it.

Guo Hao picked up one of them and saw that the cover was "The Analects of Confucius". He opened it and read it. It was average in paper, but the preservation was still intact.

In this era, books are rare. Cai Lun, the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty invented woodblock printing, so it is normal to have paper books at this time.

However, the printing cost of woodblock printing is high, so you can't make too many mistakes when making woodblock printing, otherwise the entire woodblock will be abandoned. Therefore, high requirements for craftsmen, and books are naturally precious.

This situation was not improved until Bi Sheng invented the movable type printing technique in the Song Dynasty. The cost of books was reduced and the number of books increased.

"The Analects of Confucius, Mencius, Doctrine of the Mean, and The Great, these are all the Four Books and Five Classics. Your father is not a scholar, right!"

Guo Hao asked Qiunan with a smile. Qiunan shook his head and said he didn't know.

For some reason, Guo Hao felt very friendly when he saw these books. In the past, he read books to study, but now he reads books to pass the time, so his mentality is different and his feelings are different.

After the Four Books and Five passed, there were three more books. Guo Hao picked up one of them and was surprised to see the name on it.
Chapter completed!
