Hey, thinking like this, Ye Chuqiu felt that the world was more and more dangerous.
It's too dangerous!
Can these officials really be so cruel?
Ye Chuqiu has always been unwilling to speculate on people's hearts with the greatest malice, but she has to speculate with the greatest malice.
If you think about it carefully, in later generations, when the Internet was so developed, there were so many dark phenomena, not to mention this feudal society.
Feudal society was a cannibal. There are only a few pages written in the history books. Who knows the truth of the matter?
Although Confucians shout: Cultivate oneself, govern the country and bring peace to the world.
Those officials also shouted: establish a heart for the heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the people, carry forward the unique knowledge for the saints, and create peace for all generations!
But, in fact, how many real saints are there?
Are these scholars who study hard, endure the cold winter and scorching heat just to help the weak?
No, that's not the case, at least not for most people.
For example, Ye Chuqiu, if she lets her children study or take the imperial examination in the future, it will be because being an official can protect herself, gain benefits, and live a good life.
And throughout the ages, most scholars probably thought the same way. They studied and took the imperial examinations just for themselves, not for the common people or the world.
If he can take care of the people a little while safeguarding his own interests, he is already a rare good official.
More officials care about their own interests. They want to climb up and become stronger.
Are those high-ranking officials teasing, flattering, and suffering all just to serve the weak? No, no, they want to enjoy their rights and have the weak serve them.
So, what reason does Ye Chuqiu have for thinking so highly of the officials in feudal society?
She should think of them more viciously, think of them as evil tigers, and stay away from them so that she can protect herself!
"Sister-in-law, I really can't run anymore, I'm so tired!"
She didn't know how long she had been running, but Li Youmei was already out of breath. She hadn't eaten anything all day, and her body was very weak. She really couldn't run anymore.
"Second brother and sister, you have to think about it. The horse you are holding is worth dozens of taels, but it belongs to the government."
Ye Chuqiu said this, and Li Youmei's fighting spirit started to burn again.
No, this is her horse, no one can take it from her!
Thinking of protecting his property, the big guy ran a little faster.
Speaking of which, Ye Chuqiu and the others were in a miserable situation. They had horses, but none of them knew how to ride them. If they had rashly rode on a horse, it would probably be like driving a car if someone couldn't drive, and the car would be destroyed and everyone would be killed.
The end of a person who is on his back.
He didn't know how long he had been running, but a forest appeared in front of him. Ye Chuqiu ran into the forest without even thinking about it.
"Ah, it can't be done, it can't be done!"
With the shelter of the trees, everyone relaxed, including Ye Chuqiu himself, who couldn't run away at all.
She was really out of strength today, feeling like her hands and feet were cramping, and everyone else was the same as her.
After resting for a while, Ye Chuqiu finally recovered. Lin Dahu on the side also stood up and said, "Mom, I'm going to the mountains to find some food."
"I'll go too." Lin Erhu also said.
During this run away, Ye Chuqiu lost a lot of his belongings. Lin Dahu guessed that Ye Chuqiu was out of food.
"Sister-in-law, I have some black beans here, do you want to eat them?"
Chai Chunfang picked up her jar and walked over.
"Hey, third brother and sister, are you willing to take out your own food?" Li Youmei on the side saw it and teased.
"This food was originally given to us by my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law lost all the food this time in order to kill those bandits. Since we are a family, we should help each other in the same boat." Chai Chunfang lowered her head and replied.
"Yo yo yo, you have really changed your temper. Show off your ability and generosity, right? Are you saying that I am stingy? Why don't you give me eye drops in front of my sister-in-law?" Li Youmei immediately started shouting.
She is straight-tempered. Ye Chuqiu doesn't know if she is like this at other times, but whenever it comes to this kind of situation where she is going to suffer, then she must say what she thinks.
"Sister-in-law, you are reluctant to part with it yourself, but you think I am being generous?"
Chai Chunfang knew Li Youmei's temperament. If she wanted to explain tactfully, Li Youmei would definitely ridicule her for being hypocritical. Instead of doing this, it would be better to state her purpose openly.
"I just want to please my sister-in-law, and she is very capable. We were able to come here safely, thanks to my sister-in-law."
Chai Chunfang said, walked up to Ye Chuqiu, bent down and said: "Sister-in-law, I apologize to you. I shouldn't have refused to lend money to Dahu before. I was wrong."
After saying that, she dug around in her arms for a long time before taking out a bunch of copper coins and said, "Sister-in-law, this is all my family's property, and I'll give it all to you."
"What are you doing for me?" Ye Chuqiu looked at her with a half-smile, "You don't know that I'm a prodigal person. If you just give it to me, I might change hands and throw it to those refugees."
"It doesn't matter, I gave it to sister-in-law. Sister-in-law, you can do whatever you want." Chai Chunfang replied.
Ye Chuqiu was surprised now. She stared at the copper plate in her hand, looked at her carefully again, and then said: "Third brother and sister, you really don't have to be like this. You'd better take the money back."
"Oh my, the sun is rising in the west. Some people have really changed their temper. They are not willing to spend so much money." Li Youmei yelled from the side, "Oh, I know, did you get a new one?"
It’s a good horse, so you don’t care about these copper coins?”
"Second sister-in-law!"
Chai Chunfang looked at Li Youmei with a somewhat annoyed look. Why is this Li Youmei everywhere? It's really annoying.
"Second sister-in-law, you can't bear it yourself, why bother to laugh at me like this." Chai Chunfang said, "What I do is my business, and I didn't give it to you, so why are you talking so much?"
"I just can't stand people like you, pretending to be generous, but don't know what to think in your heart. Oh, it's not like me. I just have this mouth. I can say whatever I think, so I
I offend people, but I actually have the best intentions." Li Youmei clapped her hands, looking like she was sighing in self-pity.
Seeing her like this, Ye Chuqiu was amused and angry. She couldn't help but said: "Since you know that you are the one who is wronged by this mouth, then you should say less in the future."
"Sister-in-law, I can't hold it in anymore." Li Youmei also felt that Ye Chuqiu was praising her, and her expression was a bit coquettish.
"If you can't hold it in, hold it in. For a person like you who talks a lot, even if you are lucky, it will still leak out of your mouth. You always make others uncomfortable, and you claim to be straightforward. Little do you know, you
You are just stupid, you are bad!"
"Sister-in-law, you..."
Li Youmei's face turned red. Ye Chuqiu didn't wait for her to reply, and continued: "Today, the generous behavior of the third brother and sister is worthy of praise. You should stop making random guesses about her."
