Half River Autumn Moon and River Spring [Rat and Cat]

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang sent Xiao Shanzi back home, and Xiao Shanzi's grandmother was very grateful. When she learned that Xiao Shanzi fell into the water again, she blamed her for being too old to teach Xiao Shanzi to swim. If I was here, I would be able to teach this child. Her daughter Wufeng is the best girl in the village. If it hadn't happened...

As he spoke, the old man wiped away his tears again. Zhan Zhao comforted him for a while and then let the old man take the child back to rest. The two were walking back to the head of Wei village, Zhan Zhao remained exceptionally silent.

Bai Yutang carefully accompanied Zhan Zhao, seeing Zhan Zhao's inaudible sigh, finally couldn't help asking: "Mao'er, what's wrong with you, you always seem to be very distressed?"

Zhan Zhao glanced at Bai Yutang, and said slowly, "I'm thinking about the grave village."

"It was Wei Huxiang's words that caused you trouble?"

Zhan Zhao nodded, then shook his head: "I know that what Village Chief Wei did was wrong, but I can't help but think, if this happened to me, how would I choose?"

"If you say it, you will definitely not hand over Master Li. In order to protect the villagers, you would rather fight to the death with those people from the Wuhe Sect, and would rather have the jade broken than the whole tile." Bai Yutang said without hesitation.

Zhan Zhao patted Bai Yutang on the shoulder, and sighed, "Yutang knows me too. However, if I am a completely unarmed person who knows no martial arts, and I meet an insurmountable opponent like the Wuhe Sect, As long as you hand over an irrelevant person, you can protect everyone you care about... Or, as long as you hurt this irrelevant person, you can protect everyone, what will I do..."

Bai Yutang paused: "In reality, there is no such assumption. You are Zhan Zhao, not Wei Huxiang."

Zhan Zhao looked at the brightly lit room in front of him, and nodded: "Yes, but this world is full of unarmed people who can only hit stones with eggs, how would they choose? Who would sacrifice their entire life for a stranger? What about the village? I can't criticize Wei Huxiang's actions from the highest point of morality, even if I hate his actions, but I can't justly criticize him..."

"I have repeatedly thought about his situation. If you hand over Master Li, Master Li will definitely be killed by the Wuhe Sect. In order to silence him, the Wuhe Sect will definitely massacre the entire village without leaving any survivors; if you don't hand over Master Li, the Wuhe Sect The Jiao Geng will directly slaughter the village, and finally find and get rid of Mr. Li who is seriously injured... No matter how you think about it, it is a dead end." Zhan Zhao stared at the front in a daze, "The road he chose in the end, although it is right Master Li is very unfair and cruel, but he really saved the lives of Master Li and the whole village, tell me, is it right or wrong for him to do this?"

"Mao'er, I'm not good at dealing with such things." Bai Yutang thought for a while, "However, I don't think this matter can be simply judged as 'right or wrong', as different people will come to different conclusions; In the scene, the conclusion will be different. For the villagers, although Wei Huxiang killed Mr. Li, he saved the lives of the whole village, which is a great kindness; but for Mr. Li, Wei Huxiang tortured him by avenging his revenge. To lose human form is a great evil."

"In this matter, for onlookers, it is impossible to criticize which is right and which is wrong. Only the parties involved are qualified to judge which is right and which is wrong." Bai Yutang continued, "Although Wei Huxiang has always said that he is not at fault, It was for the sake of the whole village. However, until his death, he always felt ashamed of Master Li and Master Ye, and even had no face to face Master Li, and wanted to redeem it in the next life. A kind of redemption?"

Zhan Zhao listened intently: "You mean, he knows he's guilty, but he doesn't regret his actions?"

"Yes, I have regrets but no regrets." Bai Yutang continued, "Right or wrong is not important, it doesn't matter whether Wei Huxiang is good or evil, right and wrong are already in their minds. Remember when you met Shark in Wuhe Sect Lin said something?"

"You said, 'This world may not be as beautiful as we imagined, and because of this, people will continue to pursue beauty.' You also said, 'Maybe there will be more perfect and more refined world pictures and rules in the future, but it cannot be denied , what we follow right now is the attitude that is most in line with the world we live in.' You are right, there are boundaries between good and evil, but the basis for this boundary cannot be artificially framed, only the continuous progress of human beings, Only then will this boundary become clearer, and law and morality cannot be the binding force for everything, but they are indispensable prerequisites for all actions to take place."

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang motionlessly, and suddenly laughed: "I also said that I am not good at dealing with such things, and I have already seen it so thoroughly."

Bai Yutang pursed his lips, and replied honestly: "That's because I listened to every word you said seriously."

Zhan Zhao nodded, and walked forward silently. After a while, he suddenly turned around and said with a smile, "Yutang, thank you."

Bai Yutang stepped forward and patted Zhan Zhao's back hard: "Cat, cheer up!"

After being hit hard by him, Zhan Zhao staggered forward a few steps, rubbed his teeth and said, "Mice, your hands are really strong!"

"There is still a catastrophe waiting for us in the capital!" Bai Yutang said, "Yanbei has already contacted the Yelan gang, and we can return to Beijing immediately by boat tomorrow."

"Yeah, I know." The tacit understanding between the two remained the same. When they came to the head of Wei Village, they saw that Ye Hong had treated all the injured villagers. None of them were serious, and everyone felt guilty towards Li Chengsi and Ye Hong, and they didn't dare to embarrass them. In addition, Ye Hong helped them heal their wounds regardless of the past, and they were even more ashamed.

Zhan Zhao originally wanted to persuade Ye Hong to take Li Chengsi back to the capital with them, so that Mr. Gongsun could heal and recuperate the two of them, but Ye Hong knew that the capital was in trouble, and going at this time would increase the burden, so he refused Zhan Zhao kindness.Everyone was sleepless that night, but the grave village was as quiet as ever, and everyone's voices turned into a sigh.

In the early morning of the next day, the sound of horseshoes broke the silence, and Yan Bei rode there in a hurry, and started calling Zhan Bai and his wife from a long distance away.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang didn't sleep all night, but fearing that Yan Bei would disturb the others, they hurried out to meet him. Seeing that Yan Bei had been recuperating all night, his face was no longer as embarrassed as when he was seriously injured. impressive.

"Little Master, Master Cat, the boat has arrived and everything has been packed. Shall we set off right away?"

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao, who nodded and said, "Okay, I'll say goodbye to Master Li and Master Ye."

After saying that, he turned around and wanted to enter the house, but he saw the thin Ye Hong coming out with a big bamboo basket on his back, and when he took a closer look, it was Li Chengsi who had no hands and feet in the bamboo basket, and he was sitting quietly. In the bamboo basket, the irritability and madness of the past are completely gone. Even though his eyes have been destroyed, he can still see his high-spirited and handsome appearance in the past.

Zhan Zhao was stunned for a moment, and was about to help, but was blocked by Ye Hong: "Master Zhan, we want to see you off, but we really can't go far, probably we can only send you out of the village."

"Master Ye, you are in poor health, let me carry Master Li!"

"No, I can carry him. I can do it now, and I can do it in the future." Ye Hong smiled lightly, and tightened the shoulder straps of the pannier with both hands. Two "ahh..."

Master Ye said: "A Si said, thank you for your help."

Zhan Zhao took a deep breath, stopped mentioning the matter of helping to carry people, and led the horse instead, then slowed down and walked side by side with Ye Hong and the others to the village entrance, Bai Yutang also led his horse, and patted the Yan Bei told him not to rush, but to follow the front.

"What are your plans for the future?"

"A Sihui and I will temporarily take over the affairs of the magistrate of Mojia County. After the imperial court dispatches a new magistrate of Mojia County, we plan to come to Grave Village to teach. There are so many children who have lost their parents in Grave Village. We cannot let them It will become another funeral object of the 'Wuhejiao'."

Li Chengsi who was in the basket nodded.

Zhan Zhao hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Master Ye still hasn't recovered his memory?"

Ye Hong nodded, his skinny figure made people feel a little embarrassed: "I vaguely remember something, it was all about A Si in the past, this guy was a little proud in the past, always telling me about grand plans and ambitions... Then Sometimes I laughed at him, but young people, who doesn’t want to live a vigorous life and come to this world to have a good time.”

After speaking, his eyes turned red, and the tip of his nose twitched: "Master Zhan, don't worry, even if I recover my memory, I will never embarrass the people in Tomb Village."

"That's not what I meant..." Zhan Zhao felt a little choked up without saying a few words.

"I remember he once said to me that it is the people who live for the country and the people." Ye Hong said with a smile, "I thought at the time, if A Si can be an official in the court, maybe he can really do it. Made an admirable contribution, and it was the best arrangement in the world for me to be his right-hand man."

"In my memory, Ah Si has always been a person who is very considerate of others." Ye Hong said with a smile, "So in the days to come, I will always be with him. If he can't leave, I will carry him on my back; If he can't hold the pen, I will become his hand; if he can't see the spring and autumn, I will tell him the color of the mountains, rocks and trees..."

Speaking of this, Ye Hong stopped suddenly, Zhan Zhao quickly wiped his eyes, looked back at Ye Hong, but saw Ye Hong waved at him: "Master Zhan, we will send you here, I hope everyone The future is bright and the auspicious stars are shining."

It turned out that he had already arrived at the entrance of the grave village, Zhan Zhao nodded, and then got on his horse, and Bai Yutang and Yan Bei behind him also got on their horses.

"Master Li, Master Ye, take care, I will bring Mr. Gongsun to visit you two after the matter in the capital is settled!"

Bai Yutang and Yan Bei also bid farewell to Li Chengsi and Ye Hong.

Ye Hong put down the basket carefully, and both of them faced the three of them: "The river and the lake are far away, everyone take care!"

"treasure!"

"treasure!"

The three rode their horses and galloped. Not long after, Zhan Zhao looked back at the two of them, and saw Ye Hong's thin figure still standing at the entrance of the grave village, waving at the three of them, while Li Chengsi, who was in the basket, looked up at the person beside him. Ye Hong, even though he could no longer see Ye Hong's appearance, he smiled more gently than ever.

Zhan Zhao seemed to see two energetic young men in fresh clothes and angry horses waving at them, impatiently wanting to tell the colorful scroll of life that was about to unfold.

Precious!two!

The story of Mojiao County is over, and the final decisive battle in the capital is left!
