Plane Small Bookstore [System]

When she got home at night, Mary couldn't regain her senses for a long time.

War, or a war sweeping the world is coming, what a ridiculous statement, it seems like unfounded worries and idiotic dreams.But it was Le Jing who said these things.Mr. Le Jing who selflessly helped them and provided them with the key to freedom.

Mary still remembers that the young man's eyes were firm, his words were burning, and every word was so sure, as if he was saying a...predestined prophecy.

After the young man said this, he firmly saw off the guests.He didn't give them any more explanations, just told them to come early tomorrow.

For the past [-] days, they have been making noise in the bookstore every day, and the young man has not the slightest bit of disgust or impatience.For any question they asked, even if it was a silly question, as long as he knew it, he would answer it patiently and seriously.It can be said that his performance today is very abnormal.

Le Jing looks gentle and handsome, knowledgeable, respects women, is personable, and has a gentle temper. Such a person is simply an ideal husband candidate for many girls.Mary knew that there were many girls in the organization who had a crush on Le Jingfang.

But no one confessed, and even those girls who said one more word were uneasy for a long time.It's not out of women's reserve and shame, they don't care about these women.It's because they understand that that man is not someone they can catch.

There are three guesses in the group about the identity of Mr. Le Jing.

One is that he is a prince from an ancient oriental country who went into exile overseas with the royal collection of books because he failed to fight for the throne.Because only in this way can he explain why he has so many books that have never appeared on the market.

The other is to think that Lejing is from the future.He used the time machine to travel from a certain era in the future to the present, just like the time traveler in "The Time Machine".Those who hold this view have been influenced by a book by Mark Twain, a Myrican author, Myrican in Connecticut in King Arthur.This would explain why there are books from a century later in bookstores.Mary also supports this idea.

There is another kind of people, they are devout Christians.They think that Le Jing is a messenger sent by God, he brought the fruit of wisdom from the Garden of Eden to people, and freed women from their unequal status.Those books are the books of the kingdom of God, the gospel given by the Lord to the devout.

But no matter which idea they espouse, they all have a common tacit understanding-to pretend not to know about it.They worry that once they tell the truth, all the good things will disappear like phantoms.

In this regard, they maintained a careful balance with Le Jing.Such a free and unrestrained life, every day is as beautiful as an illusion to them.Then today, the illusion was finally broken.

Le Jing made a "prophecy".

Mary is not someone who doesn't care about current affairs and politics. She knows that there have been frictions between the Said Empire and several other countries with relatively developed economies in recent years, and some people of insight have already made predictions that there must be several tough battles to fight.But a war that sweeps across the world, may kill tens of millions of people, and is so tragic that women have to go to the battlefield?It was a scene from hell.Although Mary is a supporter of the "time machine theory", she can't help but start to waver now.To be honest, she would rather Le Jing was joking.

Mary hesitated for a while, and then sighed. After all, she believed that Le Jing was not a random person, since he must have a reason for what he said, and she must find out something from him tomorrow.

The soft light of the desk lamp gently covered the snow-white notebook with a layer of broken gold. Le Jing sat in front of the desk, frowning and quickly recorded something in the notebook.

Because of the difference between the two time and space, he does not know what changes will occur in the two world wars in history.He couldn't even predict the exact start and end times.The only thing he can do is to record the experience and lessons that the earth has gained from the two world wars, and give this plane a reference.The notes he took may not have much effect, but it is good to save a few lives.

The only thing that comforts him is that the history of China in this world has reached a turning point in the Ming Dynasty. Now it is the Ming Empire that dominates the Eurasian continent. At least it will not become a colony of great powers like in the history of the earth, and suffer a century of humiliation. up.

[Le Jing, it's already eleven o'clock, as a Buddhist youth, you should go to bed. ] Le Ling reminded.

Le Jing kept writing in his hand, and smiled slightly: "Sorry, I am a Confucian youth now."

Hearing another new term, Le Ling curiously asked: [What does Confucian youth mean? 】

"Encouragement to fill chicken blood, benevolence and righteousness to level the world." Le Jing raised his eyebrows, "Aren't you cheering for me?"

【……come on. 】

Le Ling feels that the current post-90s generation is really too complicated.

After the sky turned white slightly, Le Jing finally stopped writing, heaved a sigh of relief, wrote most of the notebook, and finally finished writing.He thumped his stiff and sore waist, and couldn't help but smile wryly, after all, he wasn't young anymore.

He stood up and moved his body, the bones made a light crackling sound.He turned on his phone and took a look. It was already six o'clock in the morning, and he could open the shop after eating.

【You should rest now. ] Le Ling said seriously: [According to scientific research, adults should keep at least seven hours of sleep every day. 】

"That's an adult, and I'm not an adult." Le Jing pushed up his glasses and said solemnly, "I'll be a teenager until I die!"

Le Ling: […]

Le Ling realized belatedly, had he, the host, been persistently telling cold jokes?

■

I didn't sleep all night. Although I was a little sleepy, I could bear it.To refresh himself, Le Jing picked up a book by Osamu Dazai and read it with relish.

After waiting for a long time, Mary and several girls hurried in.

Seeing the happy scene reading a book again, Mary reluctantly raised her volume in an attempt to attract his attention: "Good morning."

no response.

Louder: "Good morning!"

Still no response.

Tap the table: "Good morning!"

"Ah? Oh!" Le Jing raised his head in a panic, pushed his glasses, saw that it was Mary, and greeted happily, "Good morning, Mary."

The young man's smile was as warm and soft as ever, but Mary somehow felt that his smile today was mixed with a trace of fatigue.Taking a closer look, the young man's eyes seemed to be a little bloodshot, and there was also a bruise on the fundus of his eyes.

Did you not sleep at night?

Mary carefully hid the worry in her eyes, and asked nonchalantly, "What are you going to tell us today?"

Le Jing said slowly: "There's no rush right now. We'll talk about it when people arrive."

"And about what you said yesterday..."

It was rare for Le Jing to interrupt her, and said forcefully: "This point, we can wait for people to come."

Marinahan glanced at him, but didn't say anything, and sat down with the other girls.

Soon, more ladies entered the bookstore one after another. After everyone arrived, Le Jing finally stood up and looked at them from a distance against the light.

"I'm here to say goodbye." Le Jing said flatly: "There is always a banquet in the world, and I have to leave."

It's nothing more than a thunderstorm from the flat bottom.

Mary was a little surprised, but it was more about the sense of security that the second boot finally landed, and the day finally came.

Finally someone couldn't help but ask, "Where are you going?"

"Where are you going?" The young man tilted his head and thought about it, and said casually, as if he was just going to the store at the door, "Go to another world that belongs to me."

!!!

As if lightning flashed across the sky, this simple sentence made countless people dizzy.

Mary blurted out: "Are you really a time traveler?!"

"In a way. It's just that I'm not the poor scientist who invented the time machine. I'm just a lucky bookstore owner."

Mary's eyes widened in shock. Although she had already had all kinds of wild conjectures in her heart, when Le Jing really admitted it, she couldn't believe it.

"You're not kidding, are you?"

"I never joke." Le Jing smiled slightly. "Let me introduce myself formally. My name is Le Jing, and I come from China in 2018. But in your world, you call my country the Ming Empire."

Before everyone came back to their senses, Le Jing continued to release thunder one after another: "Through the efforts of generations of feminist pioneers, in my world, most countries have achieved legal equality between men and women, and my country is even more so." Write equality between men and women into the constitution as a basic national policy."

"Women have the same opportunity to make choices as men. They have obtained independent economic status and are no longer subordinate to men; they receive higher education and work in various fields; they can fall in love freely, choose to marry or not to marry; they Actively participating in politics, female presidents and female prime ministers are not uncommon..."

There are few words, but it outlines a beautiful and moving scene like heaven for them. Everyone's imagination is full of imagination, and they can't wait to go there.

Mary's mind was blank, her heart was pounding, and for the first time she didn't know what to say.

Is what he said true?Or just coaxing them?

Can future women really be so free?

Going to school, working, not getting married, a female president and a female prime minister...every word in it made her yearn for it.This is the future she wants!

Only such a future can give them the courage to move on.

Mary smiled with tears in her eyes and whispered, "I really want to see such a future with my own eyes."

No one interrupted Le Jing's words, and everyone was mesmerized listening to the blueprint for a bright future that Le Jing outlined for them.

Even if it is fake, then this is the direction of their future struggle.They came together because they wanted a future like this.

"I once said that idealists are often the ones who change the world. This is based on history, and I am not lying to you." Le Jing stared at the focused faces on the opposite side, his eyes gradually grew long, and his mouth grew more. A vague smile: "Now, please let me tell you a story that happened in my country."

"A 'Cha classmate boy' story."

This is the story of how a librarian from rural Hunan, after being owed salary, and his friends saved the country that was constantly being divided by wars.

This is the story of a great idealist who yelled "women hold up half the sky" for a country that was devastated after liberation, and made the concept of equality between men and women deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

An idealist is most fortunate to meet idealists like him.They are in their prime, they are bookish, they are dung from thousands of households, they throw their heads and blood, and they will not compromise until they grow old.The high spirits of young people are the most indelible. They have passion, faith, and some "secondary students" who are confident that they can change the world.Under the right time, place and people, driven by the general trend of history, they accidentally changed the world and established their ideal country.

If Le Jing's words about the future of women just now made Mary feel a little unreal, the story he just told opened the door to a new world for her.

There are such people in the world!

It turns out there are so many "arrogant" people like her!

Changing the world is not impossible, and they don't have to be intimidated.

And what they do is much harder than them.

'Mobilize the vast ocean of the masses? 'Mary mused.

'Does the economic base determine the superstructure? 'Linda's eyes sparkled.

'Is the guiding role of public opinion propaganda? 'Illya was excited.

At this moment, I don’t know how many girls were inspired, and the spark of the proletarian feminist revolution was quietly buried in their hearts along with Le Jing’s explanation.

The story is finally over.Le Jing took a breath, took a few sips of tea to moisten his throat, and thoughtfully gave them some time to digest.

After a while, Mary took a step forward, buried her head deeply, and said gratefully and respectfully, "Thank you for your help. Your teaching has benefited us a lot. You are our well-deserved mentor."

The girls stood up sparsely, bowed at the same time, and said in unison: "Thank you, Teacher Le Jing."

Le Jing smiled disapprovingly: "I am not talented enough to help you. I am ashamed to be a teacher. If I have ever helped you in a small way, it was only because I stood on the shoulders of giants." .” He waved his hand, motioning the girls to sit back and stop talking.

"That's about all I can say, and there's nothing else I can teach you. You can choose any book you like and keep it. Whether it's printed or copied, I'll leave it to you." The young man looked at them. , with a clear and easy smile: "You have to live."

"teacher!"

Le Jing pushed his glasses in distress: "It's already said that I'm not your teacher." He sighed, "Forget it, since you called me teacher, then I'll say a few more words."

"Don't be sad about my leaving, because you will get used to parting sooner or later." Le Jing slowly looked around the sad women, faded the usual smile on his face, looked at them calmly, his eyes were cold It's like a deep pool in autumn, "Because what you're going to do next is tantamount to making enemies of the entire patriarchal world. Your enemies are all over the world, but your partners are only each other. You will be betrayed and be punished." Slander, you will be arrested, you will be deported, and you will most likely die before the dawn of the new world."

Silence, deathly silence.

Everyone has different expressions.

Lejing's relentless pot of cold water finally woke up some girls who were blinded by the bright future.

Some of them are not pure feminists, nor do they have a firm determination to resist.They are just unsatisfactory in reality, so they come here to hug each other for warmth and seek comfort.

If you lack the corresponding awareness, it is better not to join in the first place, as this will only harm others and yourself.

The young man hooked the corners of his lips mockingly, his eyes were sharp, and he showed his sharpness: "No revolution can avoid bloodshed, betrayal, and sacrifice. Revolution is iron and blood, and there is no room for tenderness. If you can't accept this, you should do it as soon as possible." Good exit."

The women hesitated for a while, but they still didn't leave after all.

"In my country, a man named Ji Ye once said something like this—" The young man's eyes are quiet and bright, like a star hanging high in the sky in the dark night, always firm and never deviates from the direction: "If the sky always If it is dark, then live in the dark; if it is dangerous to make a sound, then keep silent; if you feel powerless to shine, then crouch in the corner. But don’t get used to the darkness and justify the darkness; don’t be proud of yourself ;Don't mock those who are braver and more enthusiastic than yourself. We can be as humble as dust, but we can't be twisted like maggots."

"Now, I give this sentence to you, and I hope you can do it."

Le Jing looked at this mixed team with calm eyes without any waves.

I hope that next time we meet, even if we meet each other but don't know each other, don't go against each other.
