Chapter 139 The Youth Part Ends

Li Ji's heart trembled, he didn't expect the conductor to speak so simply.

"How can this be done!" Li Ji stood up directly and said.

The commander had long expected Li Ji to behave like this, so he said calmly, "Let me ask you why most good people are born in good families."

Li Ji didn't speak, and the commander continued: "Because they are so young, someone teaches them right and wrong, and let them know good and evil. It's like a child hitting someone with a slingshot on the road, and the parents come and slap the child twice. From then on, the child knows that he made a mistake and will not do it again."

Li Ji thought of Little Tudou.Little Tudou has been a solid child since he was a child, but because he is the only child, he is quite indulgent.But every time he got into trouble, Li Jin and his wife would personally take their children to apologize.Afterwards, Little Potato was still naughty, but he always knew it.

The commander said again: "Where are these children? Let me ask you, how many of them remember their surnames? Where do they live and who are their parents? Most of them don't remember. Those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black. It's really pitiful, but in their memory, they will always be the face of this group of beasts. How can you ensure that these children will not accept their ideas and harm you?"

"But we can't kill them all just because of this..." Li Ji has his own bottom line. Since he was young, because of his seniority, he has always been the only one who teaches others.So it is quite harsh to teach people a lesson.But he never involves life.

The commander said: "Perhaps I went to battle to save the enemy, and my heart is hardened. Even if there is a one-to-one possibility, I will cut the grass and root out the roots. Avoid killing more innocent people because of a single thought of benevolence. They have been affected by the beasts." They are used to lying on the street to buy poor things for nothing. In addition, they are considered to be disabled, which is different from ordinary people. How can you ensure that they will be willing to use their hands and feet to work and eat in the future? How can you ensure that they will not I will degenerate to imitate those people, and when I grow up as a victim, I will imitate the victimizer and arrest the children to imitate them to get something for nothing. Don’t forget, this kind of thing is a huge profit!"

It only needs to catch a few helpless children, torture them for a few days so that they dare not escape, and then let them go to the streets to beg, and use the pity of passers-by to bring in an income of [-] copper coins a day.For ordinary hardworking people, I am afraid that they will not be able to earn these copper coins in a day.

This is also the root of those crooked ways. Because of the profit, they are willing to take risks!

Li Ji had never come into contact with such disgusting things, but he couldn't find anything to refute when he heard the commander break up the crumbled analysis.Just like what the commander said, who can guarantee that this group of children will grow up well?

Even if we tried our best to make their future life as normal as possible and lead them on the right path, how much effort would it take?Li Ji is not a person who does not expect anything in return. These children are pitiful, but they are also a heavy burden.

Not only do they have to bear the burden of their future growth, but they may also have to bear the responsibility. If these children go astray and kill others, Li Ji is one of the culprits.

Li Ji's lips turned pale, and the commander only realized that he would behave like this.Said: "I know what I said is too cruel. I only think you are not such a person. So how to arrange these children, I will not express my opinion again."

The commander directly picked himself out.It's not that no choice was given, but the most ruthless, but safest and cleanest choice for the future.Li Ji obviously didn't have such a cruel heart.

So what the commander said was equivalent to nothing.

After breakfast, the commanding envoy and his soldiers led the eight animals up the mountain with a rope. The family did not calm down because of this, and people from the village began to come to inquire about the situation.Li Ji didn't let the servants stop him, and chatted with everyone who came in.

Li Ji also wanted to ask them what they thought, maybe they could come up with a way to get the best of both worlds.

The result was of course disappointing. Anyone who listened to the analysis before and after felt that the matter was difficult.They have less knowledge than Li Ji, and watching their old people and children farming all day long is enough to consume most of their energy, and the rest of the chatting is fine, it's really hard to come up with an idea on this kind of thing.

Li Ji is not difficult for them.It's hard to think about it, Li Ji thought of Shen Tianzhan, and hesitated in his heart.Shen Tianzhan is now alone in the capital, and he is burdened with heavy responsibilities. He has always worked hard day and night.There were enough things to bother him.As a son, he doesn't feel sorry for the hard work of the old man, and always troubles others. No matter what, he can't bear it.

That night Li Ji tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. What to do with these children was really a headache.

Er Gouzi was distressed, and helped out with an idea: "If you can find your parents, send them back. If you can't find them, teach them to read."

There is no way to do this, Li Ji sighed: "That's it, pay more attention to them, and try to guide them as much as possible. The younger children are easy to talk about and can be taught, and the older ones are the easiest to characterize. In the future Pay more attention, if it is really crooked, if you make a mistake, then you should go in. Birth is not a human being, but we should not be responsible for these children. Do your best and obey the destiny."

Pity is pitiful, but pity is not an umbrella for crime.What happened to them in the past makes people feel distressed. It must be ten times and a hundred times harder to get them out of the shadows and act like normal children.And whether this hard work can be rewarded depends on God's will.

After all, it is good fortune to trick people.Some children are born with a golden spoon in their mouths, and enjoy the most exquisite and best things when they are born, while some children are born as if they were born to pay off debts, and they are born with bad luck and turmoil.

Li Ji was always said to have a hard life when he was a child, and Er Gouzi was also a hard-fated child.Because compared to other people who can nest in the arms of their parents and act like a baby, the two of them must support themselves.Li Ji has been taking care of his sick father since he was a child, and he has never eaten anything decent, nor worn new clothes.

This is especially true for Er Gouzi, who has received all kinds of guidance since she was pregnant. This is a bastard who was conceived by a girl out of wedlock, and she doesn't even know who her real father is.When I was five years old, I got lost in the mountains and never had a decent meal until I went down the mountain.

Many people looked at the glamor of the two, but how many people really noticed that the two suffered a lot when they were young?

"Go to sleep." Er Gouzi hugged Li Ji and patted Li Ji's shoulder.

Being able to clearly feel Er Gouzi's body temperature made Li Ji feel much more at ease.Smelling the smell coming from Er Gouzi, he fell asleep after a while.

The next morning, I drove a carriage into the city to see those children.They ate well yesterday, and the children looked much better.

Seeing Li Ji coming, the children all kowtowed to Li Ji to thank him. Li Ji couldn't stand this, so he hurriedly helped them up.

"You don't have to be polite here. I didn't save you for this. Does anyone of you remember where your home is? I can arrange for someone to take you back."

It's just that now that the war has just passed, even if you remember where you live and your parents are still alive, can they still wait for them in the original place?

Only the two older children could tell where they lived, and almost no one told where they were from before they were abducted.At most, I know the name of the village where I live, but there are so many villages with the same name in the world, where should I find them?

Of the fourteen children, only two were likely to be sent back.The rest lived in the courtyard and didn't know how to arrange it.

"You get used to it. I don't know what you think of those who treat you badly. Here you can rest assured that we are not bad people, and we will not force you to do those things. I will cure you as much as possible, It's just that some people's injuries are too serious, and I can't do anything." Li Ji asked others to avoid them, and he was the only one who faced these children alone.

Li Ji continued: "There will never be hunger here, and no one will abuse you. I know you are afraid, afraid that we are the same as those people, or afraid that I will abandon you. I can assure you that as long as you have the heart Be nice to me, and I'll be nice to you too."

After saying this, Li Ji felt insecure again, and added: "I don't want you to pay anything. In fact, my greatest hope is that you will not be influenced by those beasts' thoughts. The meaning of your existence is not to kneel and beg on the street , nor is it a tool for anyone to earn money. You can live for yourself, earn money for yourself and buy things for yourself. Your future can be wonderful. It is not in the hands of anyone."

Li Ji looked at the faces of each child: "But the bottom line is that you are on the right path. You are not like those people who take other people as the premise to benefit yourself. I will train you in the future. If you want to do something You can tell me what you want. But I will put it here. In the future, if you have the slightest crooked mind and do something illegal, I will send you to prison with my own hands. But if you live a good life, I will also I will do my best to give you the life that normal people deserve."

Such words may not be understandable to them, especially those who were captured since childhood, and even think that what those beasts instilled in them is normal.For them, what Li Ji said was undoubtedly a conflict with the past.

After Li Ji finished speaking, he changed the topic, and his tone softened: "If you have any questions, there are no outsiders here, so you can speak up."

The children peeped at each other, and each saw timidity in each other's eyes.

Li Ji was not in a hurry, and just waited patiently.After a long time, I raised my little hand cautiously and said in a low voice, "Don't we need to go out and ask for money?"

Begging, going back in exchange for the unpalatable food that night was all they had in the past.

Li Ji shook his head: "Never. If you are a freshman and don't want to study anymore, I can arrange for you to work. You can earn money by working. The money you earn is your own, and you can spend it as you like. In this yard Here, you don’t have to worry about food and drink.”

What Li Ji said is very clear.It's just that for these children, some of what Li Ji said was something they had never heard of.Looking at their still lifeless faces, Li Ji really felt that there was a long way to go to bring them back to normal.

For those two who could tell where they lived, Li Ji sent people over to inquire first. If his family members were still there, he would find a good time to send them back. If not, the children would stay here.

It is hard enough for the teacher to teach the children in the courtyard on weekdays, so Li Ji still told the teacher to let him take care of the children.Especially for older children who have already begun to characterize, maybe those books of sages will play a role.

What Li Ji used was that these children had never been educated and hadn't been enlightened yet, and they would not be able to keep up with their progress if they went to study with other children in an uproar.So I rented the house next to it for the dozen or so children to study.We still stay together when we eat and sleep, and separate when we go to school.

For those who can't do it manually, train him to hold a pen with his feet. For them, as long as they can eat enough, they will not have any objection to doing anything.It cannot be said whether they do not want to learn or not.Perhaps in their hearts, even the emotion of "unwillingness" has been obliterated.

After all, they are different from ordinary children.It was precisely because of this that Li Ji could not let them get too close to the children in the courtyard rashly.The difference between them is not discrimination, but a fact.

The original children in the courtyard would feel compassion for the disabled children.It's just that this pity itself is also a sting for disabled children.And disabled children get along with them for a long time, and they will also find that they are not healthy, and thus have more psychological changes.

Therefore, let them eat and live together in order to cultivate their feelings and let these poor children whose psychology has been changed gradually return to normal. Instead of studying together, it is to make them believe that they have their own strengths.If they are not compared together, there will be no gap, and there will be no gap.

Li Ji chatted with his husband all afternoon, and in the afternoon he watched the children finish their dinner before leaving.

First went to the yard where the eight beasts were caught before.The house has been burned clean.This was originally a deserted yard, and the original owner moved out when he fled.These eight people lived in and rented from a relative of the owner of the house.

Li Ji inquired, found the relative's house, and gave two taels of silver as compensation.Li Ji was very angry that night, and because he was afraid that they would escape, he set a fire to frighten them. He had to be responsible for the house being burned down, and Li Ji was not a person who shirked responsibility.

In fact, for relatives, this house was originally picked up for nothing.When the original owner fled, the time was too tight and the house was not sold. After leaving, the house was regarded as his close relative.Now that the house was burned down, he had nothing to do with his family, and he got two taels of silver for nothing.

Of course Li Ji knew that the money should not be sent to his relatives, but he couldn't find the original owner and didn't make some compensation, Li Ji felt uneasy.He is not short of money around him, and his business is booming.

The matter of the kidnapper has come to an end here.The child was found, and the half of the child was taken up the mountain.With the means of command and envoys, they will definitely not have a good time.

Li Ji relieved these children, and saw the heavy snow coming again. After the mountain was closed again, Li Ji was blocked in the village.Unable to go to the city to see the store business, so I just hang out with Er Gouzi and wait for his birthday with peace of mind.

San'er stayed in the city for a few days, and then went home to recuperate from his injuries. He was originally a baby bump in the family, and at this time, the family felt very distressed.Li Ji had a lot of tonics in his house, and he gave some away, but he didn't look at it anymore.

The left and right are not particularly close people.In the past, Li Changfa's family was kind, and Li Ji reached out more when something happened. Now that the matter has been resolved, there is no need for Li Ji to meet again.

Capital City, Yonganhou Mansion.Shen Tianzhan, Minister of the Household Department, took up his post, and he once again became the focus of the capital with his dual positions.Of course, most of them are itching with hatred.

A few days ago, those former court officials were still trembling, for fear that one day the new emperor would be unhappy and order them to be executed.Now they have been restarted and assigned officials one by one, but the eldest son on the tip of his heart will be suppressed in Beijing as a proton.

If you don't want to be an official, you don't have to be an official, but how many people are really ruthless enough to live as a commoner all their lives?If you want an official position, you must be willing to send the eldest son.No one wants to bear the infamy of cruelly selling their sons for an official position, and this blame naturally falls on Shen Tianzhan, who came up with an idea and got promoted.

Of course, Shen Tianzhan didn't care too much.Right now he is the new emperor's confidant, the future is unclear, at least right now he is not afraid of anything.

Little Tudou was the first batch of students sent to the Imperial College.It also shows that Shen Tianzhan is not self-interested at the expense of others. He promotes this rule, and he himself abides by it.Little Tudou is a smart person, he never asked Shen Tianzhan a question.And for Little Tudou, entering the Imperial College is actually a good thing.In the whole world, where is there a better teacher than Guozijian?

Shen Tianzhan's former colleague who had a good relationship was assigned to the county where Li Ji was located. Before leaving, he deliberately found Shen Tianzhan, and the two drank a lot of wine.Shen Tianzhan told him all the things in the county over the years, which can be regarded as helping him familiarize himself with the customs and customs in the county.

Before leaving, Shen Tianzhan asked him to hand over a letter to his two sons. At the same time, Shen Tianzhan, his eldest son who stayed in Beijing, would also help take care of him.

On the day of Li Ji's birthday, it was snowing and it was freezing day, and it was dark when it was dark.Li Ji and Er Gouzi went to the ancestral hall to pay homage to their parents, and discussed the dishes for dinner.Li Ji will never eat meat. He will be a vegetarian on this day, and Er Gouzi will accompany him. The two of them know very little about vegetarian dishes, and they really need to discuss how to cook as much as possible.

Li Ji watched the sun sink into the western mountains, and also watched the dark clouds in the sky gradually being swallowed up by complete darkness.

When the sky could not see the light, Li Ji and Er Gouzi carried the fireworks out together. They burned a firewood stick into red flames. They looked at each other and lit the twig.Then he took a few steps back and stood at the door, watching the gorgeous fireworks blooming in the air against the backdrop of the melting snow, Li Ji was fascinated by it, and suddenly felt a movement around him, and Er Gouzi ran into the house.

Comparing Fireworks with Er Gouzi, Er Gouzi was obviously more important. Li Ji also followed into the room to ask what was wrong, and saw Er Gouzi coming out with two glasses of wine.

The two exchanged glasses of wine for the third time.The first time was in the couple's bridal chamber, and the second time was on Er Gouzi's birthday.After drinking three times, the mood is almost the same.

Li Ji opened his narrowed eyes as the wine touched his lips, and looked at Er Gouzi under the fireworks not very clearly.Er Gouzi smiled, and the two drank it down in one gulp.

Where is a glass of wine, it is two glasses of warm water.Today is Li Ji's birthday, no alcohol or meat.Er Gouzi thought of this thoughtfully, so there is a drink, but no wine.

The thoughtfulness made people feel warm, and Li Ji didn't even have the intention to watch the fireworks.Holding the cup still warm, he reached out and pulled Er Gouzi over to exchange a kiss.

How could he not like such a warm and spring-like man.

The longer he lives with Li Ji, the more humane Er Gouzi becomes.It's just that this transformation that is getting closer and closer to ordinary people is mostly only for Li Ji.

The two get along more and more like ordinary couples.Er Gouzi understands more and more, and he never used to combine strange sentences on the digital display when he first met, or to say things that he didn't understand clearly.

Er Gouzi is very smart, and Er Gouzi will never forget everything about Li Ji once he comes into contact with it once.

The Grand Master of Xin County took office years ago.Li Ji and Er Gouzi met in the past.Because the two are Shen Tianzhan's sons, they don't need to salute when they meet the Xin County Grandfather.On the contrary, when Grandpa Xinxian faced them, he didn't dare to neglect them.

When the new county magistrate took office, most of the army's rights were deprived.When there is not, the army can be unscrupulous, but if the county magistrate comes, if the army still wants to occupy the sovereignty, then it has bad intentions.Even those who fought bravely with the new emperor on the battlefield and achieved the founding of the country, they still have to bear the infamy of treason with ill intentions.

The reason is very simple, the king is the king, and nothing that desecrates his rights can be seen.Similarly, he is also afraid of his former general.They can overthrow one dynasty, and they can overthrow another dynasty and make a new king.

The local general is not an idiot, and the fat piece of power must be surrendered.

The Lord of Xinxian meant that the stores under Li Ji's name would not have to pay taxes in the future. After all, they are all official, so it is natural for them not to pay taxes.

Li Ji only said: "There is no shortage of that money. Now that the new dynasty is established, it is not afraid of those corrupt things, and the taxes paid can go into the national treasury. To be honest, I was taught by Le. Da Wu just woke up , There must be a lot of money to be spent. Since Dad is a member of the imperial court, we sons can't help, and we can't hold back. You don't have to be polite. If Dad knows my decision, I believe he will support it. "

After chatting with Mr. Xinxian for a while, he drove back in a carriage with Shen Tianzhan's letter in his pocket.The two are the richest men in the county, and what they resemble the most at this moment is to go to Shen Tianzhan's former mansion and grow vegetables in the winter greenhouse.

In the coming year, they will still guard the land reclaimed last year, planting fields and raising livestock.

Don't worry about food and clothing, and your lover is by your side.In this life, no regrets.

Li Ji raised the curtain of the carriage to look at the bustling crowd outside.Years ago, the streets were bustling again.

"What do you want for New Year's Eve dinner?" Li Ji asked.

Er Gouzi didn't even think about it: "Potato stewed chicken."

"I still eat my fried minced pork with kimchi. Dad won't come back. We've got the New Year's goods ready, and we'll arrange an inn to send them over in the afternoon, so we'll spend it together."

"He'll be back."

"Of course, we are a family."

The author has something to say: this is the end of the youth part, and the following is the story of the two joining hands for a lifetime, entering middle age and entering old age~ There will be three more texts in the future, two will talk about getting along in the future, and the last one will talk about the two People's life is coming to an end~ I will mark it on the title at that time, those who don't want to see two babies become ghosts can avoid lightning by themselves~

The following is the advertisement of Nine World Records, it’s a kiss to open the text seamlessly with porridge and side dishes~

"Nine World Records Fragments" played:

A gust of fairy wind blew by, and Xuancao smelled the strange fairy fragrance, raised his eyebrows and looked, and there was another young fairy standing beside the Guiling Virgin. The casual, red mark between the eyebrows represents the identity, and this person should be a well-known senior brother.

"Fourth Sister is indeed here. Coincidentally, I also want to see which Junior Brother is so courageous. I dare not be so naughty."
