Volume 3 Judge Chapter 094 Looking up at the sky and looking down at the sky
The sky is as frosty as day, and the stars are twinkling faintly: the night sky is high, deep and leisurely, and the humming of autumn insects in the occasional tufts of grass on both sides of the streets in the village makes the village even more peaceful and peaceful at night.
Xu Zhengyang was carrying a bag containing wine and food. He walked on the village street and walked eastward in a leisurely manner.
After returning home, my parents had already prepared wine and food. They looked so happy that they seemed eager to find the village party secretary Zhou Qingguo immediately. Then they ran to the village committee courtyard and turned on the loudspeaker to broadcast in the village. Seeing their parents so happy,
Xu Zhengyang was also very happy in his heart. His father said he wanted to drink two cups with him, so he drank two cups. Anyway, with his father's drinking capacity, it probably wouldn't affect his ability to drink with another person later.
Well, that's the truth. Xu Neng said he wanted to drink two cups with his son. But he drank four cups with great force, and then he became drunk and his face turned red and he couldn't drink anymore. When Yuan Suqin saw this, he quickly told him to stop drinking, and the family of three
It’s great to eat vegetables while chatting. Of course, my son can continue to drink.
After all, it was already getting late, so even though Xu Zhengyang had just escaped from danger and returned home safely, everyone was very happy. But in the end, at Xu Zhengyang's urging, Yuan Suqin and Xu Neng had no choice but to go back to the house to sleep.
Xu Zhengyang packed up the remaining dishes, a bottle of white wine and chopsticks. He also took four glasses and put them into the bag.
When he went out, Xu Zhengyang did not forget to say hello to his mother and locked the courtyard door from the outside.
Xu Zhengyang was walking on the quiet street with a cigarette in his mouth, feeling the cool breeze of the autumn night blowing against his face. He suddenly felt relaxed and happy, and all the previous drunkenness was gone. Thinking about what had happened in the past few days, Xu Zhengyang felt a little emotional and hummed softly.
old songs:
People say heaven is good and gods are happy and carefree
How many tears are there behind success?
They all say that the world is hard and hard work
When the sweat dries, there is laughter
Immortals are made by humans, and they don’t bother cultivating
Only by enduring hardships can you achieve the true fruition
Be like a god with a heart
Heaven on earth is coming
Gods have no worries, they forget about fame and fortune
Be like a god
Forget about gains and losses
It’s the same in heaven and on earth
Good in heaven
The world is good
Humming this song over and over again, Xu Zhengyang suddenly felt a slightly sad and heroic spirit in his heart.
Just as the lyrics sing, I have worked hard in my past life, sweating and drying, but I always laugh and yearn for a happy and carefree life. It is like a paradise life. But the goal is very simple and the idea is very single.
. That is to make money. After you earn a lot of money, your life will be happy and you will live a good life. However, now that you have money, although you can't call it that rich, it can't be compared to the rich people you met in the capital.
Not those rich and powerful families who are so rich that it is embarrassing, but the savings they currently have are enough for this family to live a much better life than others in such a village, just like what his mother said when she was worried about his safety.
Generally speaking, our family has enough money to last two lifetimes.
But now, instead of being happy and free, there have been even bigger troubles.
It is true that everything has been resolved, so it can be seen that being a god is very good and powerful.
It's just that Xu Zhengyang can't do it no matter what if he wants to be happy and free from worries and fame and fortune. There is no other reason. In life, you must shoulder the responsibilities you should bear. Thinking about the gods who once existed,
Living a happy and worry-free life is nothing more than the so-called rules of heaven, which prevent them from interfering in the affairs of the world. Only by living alone in the heaven outside the world, without caring about the bitterness, sourness and sweetness of the world, can they enjoy the endless happiness.
A carefree and leisurely life.
There is a saying in the book: The way of heaven is ruthless, and knowing the common people is like an ant.
It can be seen from this that human beings no longer believe in the existence of God, and we cannot blame it entirely on human beings' arrogance. It is really a slap in the face!
Since I had the land priesthood, I now have twenty-one priesthoods including traveling magistrate, meritorious officer, and land in nine towns and ten townships in Ci County. In less than half a year, my official rank has been promoted three levels in a row. My magical powers have continued to increase.
What is the basis for the expansion and strengthening of the country? In the final analysis, it is not human faith that makes Xu Zhengyang, a land crab who climbed out of the ditch, a man who became a half-hearted land god through bad luck, be promoted to the position he is today.
Does the position of Wandering Judge bring a steady stream of faith to replenish the magical abilities he has used up countless times?
Among them, if Xu Zhengyang hadn't done something because of himself or his relatives or friends, in short, Han had done something with a selfish mentality. How could he have such rapid and powerful faith to support him and supplement his divine power?
Take up his position as a god?
In the final analysis, the occurrence of these things is mutual.
Ordinary people long for everything to go well in life. Everything is fair and all wishes come true. However, nine out of ten things in the world cannot be done as people wish. Therefore, people are unable to solve the problem when faced with their own abilities or other external factors.
When faced with difficulties and injustices, they pray and hope that the gods from the underworld can help them.
It is true that such thoughts and desires contain selfish elements, and there is nothing wrong with them.
People are people, that's it. In the past, the gods were selfless to the point of being ruthless and indifferent. In the end, if there are really no gods in the Three Realms and the heaven has long since perished, then maybe this is the reason for their demise? Xu Zhengyang secretly thought
I was thinking, thinking, maybe I should do something. Not to mention those high-sounding words to put a high hat on myself, but honestly thinking from a selfish mentality, I should do something.
Because he has a goal, a goal that humans have been exploring and dreaming of since they appeared in this world.
I still remember what the former Earth God once said: You don’t have to worry that you will be like me in the future, even if you want to die, after all, you have a physical body. If you cannot reach the realm of an emperor in the future, once the physical body dies, it will be over.
Xu Zhengyang thought at that time: Who the hell wants to die because of something wrong?
Is it just that in order to achieve this, the difficulties we have to face are so numerous, so difficult, and so huge that they are difficult to shake?
There was a vague thought that could not be grasped or understood. Xu Zhengyang sighed softly and looked up at the deep and high night sky. He saw the bright moon, the faint stars and the boundless sky. He couldn't help but sigh with emotion: Where is the heaven?
Is it really what I thought and expected?
While thinking about it, I walked slowly, and before I knew it, I had arrived at my new homestead in the east of the village.
The frame of the new house has been completed, but the roof has not yet been put up; under the moonlight, the red brick walls stand quietly. There are piles of bricks, sand and ash inside and outside the courtyard, scattered wooden boards, steel frames, iron heels and other tools. Outside the courtyard
Facing the place where a high wall will be built and a courtyard gate will be opened in the future, a simple work shed was built with wooden beams and plastic thatch.
Outside the shed, under the dim moonlight, stood a man.
Slender figure, white shirt, black trousers; short hair, pale cheeks, sword-like eyebrows, and a pair of slender eyes that are colder than the moonlight on a cold winter night, slightly cold.
He looked at Xu Zhengyang, who was walking slowly from a short distance away, without any fuss.
Seeing this person, Xu Zhengyang immediately put aside all the thoughts in his mind before, with a smile of joy and emotion on his face, walked forward a little faster, and said softly: "I haven't slept yet.
"I heard you singing, come out and have a look." Chen Chaojiang's voice was faint, and the excitement and joy in his heart could not be seen on his face or eyes. Zhengyang is fine, he is out, he is good.
"Aren't you afraid of being caught?" Xu Zhengyang smiled and sighed softly.
"Huh?" Chen Chaojiang tilted his neck. A trace of doubt flashed in his cold eyes.
Xu Zhengyang patted his shoulder and said, "Chaojiang, I understand."
"Oh." Chen Chaojiang understood. Although he didn't understand how Xu Zhengyang knew it, he was too lazy to think about it, let alone ask this question. Then he said in an indifferent tone: "I'm not at home, so of course they wouldn't think that I would
In the village."
"You are so courageous." Xu Zhengyang smiled.
"You're not young?" Chen Chaojiang had a rare playful tone.
Xu Zhengyang smiled, took out a pack of Yuxi cigarettes from his pocket and threw them to Chen Chaojiang, then took out an opened box of cigarettes, took out two cigarettes, gave one to Chen Chaojiang, and lit one himself.
A thick sound came from the shed, and Xu Zhengyang smiled and said, "Are you all asleep?"
"Um.
"Chen Chaojiang nodded.
Naturally, there are Cao Gang and Liu Bin in the shed. They are responsible for watching the construction site tonight.
"Let's go to the river embankment and drink some wine." Xu Zhengyang smiled and turned to walk north, saying at the same time: "Let them both sleep, it's been a tiring day."
"Yeah." Chen Chaojiang followed.
Although Chen Chaojiang felt much more at ease and a little happy after seeing Xu Zhengyang, he was immediately followed by a touch of worry. Although he has an extreme personality and can reach a state of madness when he is brave, he is not a fool and understands that he is in the county town of New Taipei.
What happened on Ring Road was so serious. In broad daylight, a man armed with a murderous weapon committed a murder on the street, injuring several people. "The police will not sit idly by and do nothing. After all, the impact is too great."
Xu Zhengyang naturally understood these worries in his heart.
If there is anyone in the world who knows Chen Chaojiang best besides his parents, it is Xu Zhengyang.
So when the two of them sat on the cool dirt road along the river embankment, laid out food and wine, breathed in the fresh and slightly cool air with a faint scent of grass, listened to the gurgling water of the Kengniu River heading east, and happily ran towards the Zehe River
While hugging him, Xu Zhengyang poured two glasses of wine, raised his glass to drink, and said with a smile: "It will be okay."
"It doesn't matter." Chen Chaojiang raised his glass and drank half the glass of wine in one gulp.
Naturally, Xu Zhengyang would not reveal the concerns behind Chen Chaojiang's words, and said with a smile: "Both Director Zhao and Uncle Zhong Shan are fine. One is the county police chief and the other is the county criminal investigation team captain. If they know,
When you did such a big thing, you were still thinking about venting your anger on them, do you think they can't be moved?"
"I didn't want to vent my anger on their behalf," Chen Chaojiang denied.
"Well, then I can't just ignore you?" Xu Zhengyang flicked the cigarette butt away, exhaled a cloud of smoke, and said with a smile: "Tell me, if you are said to be a target of being beaten, will you be able to save your face?
"
"I'm going to kill Shen Haobing." Chen Chaojiang's pale cheeks revealed a very silly seriousness.
"Nonsense." Xu Zhengyang smiled and said, "It was obviously a group of them who wanted to beat you, and you couldn't run away, so you had no choice but to act in self-defense and grabbed a knife and fought with them."
Chen Chaojiang was stunned. He was stunned for a long time before he smiled bitterly and said, "I'm always not as smart as you."
"You are so strong." Xu Zhengyang raised his glass and took a sip of wine, "Don't be so impulsive in the future, it's not good."
"Yeah." Chen Chaojiang smiled self-deprecatingly, raised his glass and drank the remaining half glass of wine.
Neither Chen Chaojiang nor Xu Zhengyang believed that Xu Zhengyang's advice would be effective and would allow Chen Chaojiang to avoid being impulsive and crazy when encountering similar things again.
After pouring the wine, the two of them were silent, smoking and drinking.
Chen Chaojiang was hesitating whether he could express the worries and worries in his heart. After all, no matter how cold and fearless he was, he was not willing to go back to the prison room where he did push-ups and boxing in front of a group of people every day. Well, because Chen Chaojiang didn't
I like talking to those people, so I can only think about myself in there until I am exhausted, fall asleep and forget many annoying and boring feelings.
Xu Zhengyang was thinking about how to most rationally ensure that nothing would happen to Chen Chaojiang.
"Legitimate defense and excessive defense are two different things." Chen Chaojiang suddenly said. In front of Xu Zhengyang, he tried to hide his face and finally said: "When we came out, the police talked to me about these things. Guo Tianna
This time, even if there was no one in their house, I still had to squat in. I don’t want to go in again.” Before Xu Zhengyang could say anything, Chen Chaojiang laughed at himself and said, “I don’t regret it.”
"Yes, I know." Xu Zhengyang nodded.
Chen Chaojiang's words were from his heart. For him, not wanting to go in again and regretting doing this thing really couldn't be put together.
"Zhengyang, how do you know these things?" Chen Chaojiang asked suddenly, because he now thought that Xu Zhengyang knew too many things. Wasn't he arrested? He knew that he had killed Shen Haobing in the county town by himself.
It’s understandable that many people’s affairs were serious. The police probably told him, but how did he know that he would live with Cao Gang and Liu Bin in their new homestead? Since he came with wine and food, it was obvious
It was for him, Chen Chaojiang.
As for Chen Chaojiang, he was staying in a work shed tonight, and even Cao Gangchuan and Liu Bin only found out about it when they were about to fall asleep.
Xu Zhengyang did not hesitate, smiled and said simply: "Have you forgotten? I know the God of the Earth."
"You have to believe it even if you don't believe it." Chen Chaojiang's face straightened up and he returned to his usual cold expression, "You won't lie to me."
"certainly."
The two looked at each other, smiled, raised their glasses and clinked their glasses to drink.
"Tomorrow morning, follow me to the county and surrender." Xu Zhengyang said with a smile: "We still have to make a show. The more we hide, the harder it is to explain. It seems that we are guilty, but don't worry, everything will be fine.
"Okay." Chen Chaojiang nodded without hesitation.
Xu Zhengyang smiled bitterly: "You are so stupid."
"I'm not stupid." Chen Chaojiang retorted coldly.
“…”
Chen Chaojiang's pale cheeks revealed a look of "silliness" that was extremely rare for him.
A gust of cool breeze blew by, and the wild grass on both sides of the river bank swayed, and the branches and leaves of the trees swayed, making a rustling sound.
