The road from Africa to Europe

Chapter 595 Harsh
However, considering these aspects, Ling Xiao didn't intend to tell the original owner immediately. Some things were known too early, which would make the original owner even more restless. Let's wait for the original owner to get used to it.

Naturally, the original owner didn't know Ling Xiao's thoughts. She was always worried about meeting more strangers after she went down the mountain, and she also knew that she couldn't hide in a snail shell all the time, so she tried her best to face outsiders one by one. test.

At this moment, she is like a timid rabbit, shrinking her head whenever there is any wind and rain. Even if Ling Xiao told her where to choose to live, she probably didn't have any ideas, after all, she had never been there. After living in the countryside, she didn't know the advantages and disadvantages of it at all, so Ling Xiao should make the decision for her.

And Ling Xiao felt that she should learn to be the master for herself, but after thinking about it for a while, she still felt that it was better not to let go of the original owner in a hurry. She looked at the original owner and found that it would be better to let her go down the mountain, although she was still like a little white rabbit She was timid as well, but she became very excited because this was the first time she really started to travel and really saw this colorful world.

Her previous memories do have some memories of Ling Xiao after he set off from the capital, but that is a kind of onlooker's perspective, a state of substitution, and the feeling is still not enough. Looking at the people and things in this world in person now is another feeling.

This time she was wearing men's clothes and looking at the outside world. Fortunately, people with some money like to let girls have their feet bound these days, and this body is a natural foot. This makes most people think that the original owner is a boy.Before puberty, the difference in skin and voice between men and women is not too big. Even if everyone thinks that the original owner is beautiful, they will think that the original owner is a boy and a woman, and they never think that the original owner is a woman.

For the original owner, this kind of cross-dressing experience brought indescribable excitement, and a sense of adventure in human nature. During this period of life in men's clothing, the original owner felt a lot better, and saw a lot along the way. thing.

Ling Xiao has been paying attention to the original owner, and she didn't plan to tell her now that not all the good things along the way, and bad things happened, but Ling Xiao didn't let her see the dark side after filtering it out. The original owner, who didn't realize it at all, lived happily.

And Ling Xiao noticed that the original owner still has a certain talent for painting, and has been practicing painting according to the information in some books over the years. After Ling Xiao knew about her painting skills, he planned to find someone to teach her painting well in the future. It's a hobby.

Of course, there is one thing that the original owner knows. This kind of art hobby is more expensive, so she has to learn how to make money or how to live within her means, and these ideas should be done slowly.

The original owner saw the beautiful scenery and planned to record it with a brush. Ling Xiao didn't stop her behavior. As a girl who had no opinion, after a lot of hard work, she finally had something she wanted to do. very good.

Ling Xiao specially rewarded the original owner and told her that she did well and that she could do anything, provided that she must never violate her conscience, let alone do things that violated laws and regulations.

Of course, Ling Xiao also told the original owner that it is normal for a person to make mistakes, don't be afraid of mistakes, who doesn't make mistakes?If you make a mistake, just correct it.She is still a good child after making mistakes and correcting them. Don't stop because you are afraid of making mistakes.

When encountering some problems along the way, let the original owner make up his mind. If the method is not very good, he has to explain why it is not good. There was a problem when the original owner saw a weak beggar and felt small. It's too pitiful to come out to beg for food at such a young age.

She suddenly became compassionate, and after thinking about it for a while, she wanted to give the little beggar the money in her sachet, but was stopped by Ling Xiao, who was watching. For those beggars who were staring at each other, while she stood there watching, some people who wanted to do something gave up their minds after seeing Ling Xiao, and most of the beggars could have a full meal.

Afterwards, Ling Xiao told the original owner why he gave steamed buns instead of silver. It was because some people saw that some little beggars were pitiful and would throw a piece of silver. Not only was it not good for the little beggars, but it might make them die. .

Because the money given is too attractive, even if the amount is not much, the little beggar can't keep his money, and the person who rarely gets the money will let it go?Therefore, not only can’t keep the money, but it’s even more likely that they can’t keep their own lives. Other beggars may snatch it away, or even beat the little beggar to death.

Only then did the original owner realize that there are many variables that he does not know about. Sometimes good intentions may not be able to do good things. The original owner nodded repeatedly. It can be said that a lot of effort was spent on restoring the original owner's self-confidence.

After experiencing many things, she gradually began to use her brain. The more she experienced, the more she knew that she didn't know many things. She began to prepare and study hard, thinking about her future.

Ling Xiao also noticed that when the original owner's idea was correct, he encouraged her, and when her idea was wrong, he analyzed the reasons and let her know why she was wrong, which gave her a lot of new ideas.

The two of them couldn't read when they were sitting in the carriage, because it was too shaky and the light was not enough. Ling Xiao didn't let the original owner read because it was easy to get short-sighted, so he would talk about all kinds of books.

After these days of experience, the original owner also saw more books, which finally gave her the opportunity to examine her past life, and the ones that felt the most wrong were those books about women's rings, so she raised this issue.

Ling Xiao didn't answer immediately after knowing her doubts. Sometimes if the answer is too hasty, it may be considered too hasty. You should think about it and let the original owner see for himself. Do you think this statement is correct?

Ling Xiao, who grew up in modern society, has always believed that women should be self-reliant and self-reliant, and this idea cannot be forced to be accepted by the original owner, what is needed is her own approval, after all, the original owner has to walk the road by herself.

Another thing is that Ling Xiao doesn't want the original owner to go too far, because she is alone, and if she is too dissatisfied with the world, it will only make her go on the road of confrontation with the whole society.

Ling Xiao didn't even do it himself, how could he ask the original owner to do it?This is completely counterproductive. She hopes that the original owner will live well. People whose thoughts are far ahead of this world often live in pain, because she will just watch everything slip away that she thinks she can't recover.

If the original owner was a person with a firm mind, it would be okay, maybe it would leave some sparks in the world, but she has always been a simple child, and even the family ignored her and chose to forgive them, so why bother to carry the burden On the shoulders of the original owner?
Ling Xiao thought very clearly, so he didn't want to let her know more things, but he still reminded the original owner to pay attention to the situation when speaking outside. Whoever made the world's situation is not very good, maybe someone will make a small report , in case the defendant is troublesome.

We must know that the officialdom in the later period of this dynasty was even darker, and the party struggles intensified. The most famous one was the Eunuch Party, and the Donglin Party, which was opposed to the Eunuch Party. It can be said that most of the officials in the imperial court joined the two camps.

Officials who did not join had to form another group, otherwise there would be no good end. In many cases, the aliens were more hateful than the opponents. People from both camps would suppress those who did not join.

This is the same situation now, of course, there is no eunuch party or Donglin party in the imperial court at the moment, and most of those officials are around the cabinet ministers, and there are many factions among the cabinet ministers.

When the power ministers were still there, the faction of the power ministers was a giant, attracting the attention of most officials, and the power ministers suppressed and wooed other people for their own faction.

As the opposition, they are all thinking about how to get rid of the powerful ministers. After the powerful ministers fall, most of the people who are attached to the powerful ministers fall down one after another, or are demoted to be small officials. Some people feel bad and start to change families early.

And the territory left by the powerful ministers has been divided up by those forces. They not only want to survive, but also want to be the next powerful ministers, all of them are like this. They want to be the chief assistant and replace them.

Don't look at them all wanting to oppose the powerful ministers. In fact, many people want to become the next powerful ministers in their hearts. office, so he doesn't have the ability to become a powerful minister.

Of course, Ling Xiao didn't know who would think this way. Anyway, the battles in the officialdom were very cruel, and he was not polite to his opponents. If he got involved in it, ordinary people would definitely die.

The battlefield where those big shots fight is above the court. Ling Xiao feels that he doesn't like the original owner's grandfather very much. For his own benefit, this person doesn't care about the original owner's status at all. He has been an official for a long time and has no human touch.

But it cannot be denied that this man is a master of fighting in the officialdom. When he was fighting with powerful ministers, he paid attention to preserving his own strength. If he should pretend to be invisible, he pretended not to be invisible. He and powerful ministers have been ministers in the same dynasty for many years. Can he not know the problems of powerful ministers? ?

He has always known, but he also knows that the number one courtier in the emperor's heart is a powerful minister, and other important ministers cannot be compared with powerful ministers. How humble, he bent his waist.

Of course, he bent down to fight back better, so that one day he could straighten his spine again.Therefore, in private, he has been secretly contacting other officials, just waiting for a certain day.

The powerful ministers are also afraid of Mr. Xu, after all, they are all foxes for thousands of years, who doesn't know that the other party has small tricks in private?The two sides seemed to be very friendly, but they never let go of their calculations against Mr. Xu, looking for opportunities to get rid of Mr. Xu, but Mr. Xu avoided danger time and time again by paying attention to everything.

After getting rid of the powerful ministers, Mr. Xu transformed himself into the most powerful of his courtiers and became the first assistant. Ling Xiao knew that Xu's mansion should be the busiest place in the capital at this time. Of course, these had nothing to do with the original owner.

Ling Xiao didn't care much about the situation of the original owner's family. The Xu family might have had a good time, but they were kicked out by another emperor and had to go back to their hometown. After returning to their hometown, the Xu family bought a huge amount of land, and they went too far.

So much so that the Xu family overturned in the hands of the upright official Hai Rui. Who let the Xu family buy so much land, which greatly reduced the number of self-cultivated farmers, and caused the Xu family to be exiled, so it is better to stay away from the Xu family.

Why!Today, there have been fourteen chief ministers, and few of them ended well. Most of them died aggrievedly, because in order to suppress their opponents in the officialdom, all the officials of the court were ruthless. Several former chief ministers were behind One of the chief assistants was pulled off the horse, and another was directly beheaded.

In addition, Jinshang controls Jinyiwei, East Factory and West Factory. Those factory guards like to use torture to extract confessions, causing many people loyal to the emperor to die under torture. It can be said that the factory guard system is strict. Many people Once you enter, don't come out again, many people died unjustly inside.

The ministers fell one after another. Maybe an official went to work in high spirits, but when he returned home at night, he was already a corpse. Even if he survived, he would fall into the hands of the factory guards.

This is also one of the reasons why Ling Xiao stayed away from the capital completely. It is the base camp of the factory guards, with the most fans, and many methods of detecting people. I saw that the K puppet was also investigated after entering the capital. Fortunately, she The preparatory work was done well, and no problems were found.

But it can be seen that life in the capital is too harsh. I still remember that after Ling Xiao jumped into the river as the original owner, there were factory guards who specifically checked, but because they knew too little about the situation, they didn't find out.

Of course, it was also because the matter was not very noticeable that he didn't continue to investigate. Ling Xiao was a little surprised when he found out. Fortunately, Ling Xiao had used a puppet to investigate before, so he didn't lose his horse.

She likes to live in a place with rules, but she really doesn't like the kind of behavior of arresting people for a disagreement and extorting confessions by torture. You must know that extorting confessions can easily lead to wrongful convictions.

Therefore, after confirming those circumstances, she was unwilling to live in a place full of factory guards, and there were especially many dignitaries in the capital. Living as a commoner was too tiring, so she still preferred to live in another place.Later, after leaving the capital, she wanted to see Gun Gun, so she went to Qinling.

The two followed the convoy along the way. During this process, the original owner felt a lot of difficulties. For example, when he needed convenience on the road, he had to find a place to avoid people, and he had to pay attention to safety issues. Fortunately, there were puppets all the time. Accompany, otherwise the original owner will not be able to go, because it is unacceptable.

Even though she was very unpopular in her previous days, the most basic life was still very good compared to ordinary people. At least she didn't encounter the kind of situation where it was convenient to go outside, which was too embarrassing, but it was like this along the way.

In the end, she still couldn't bear to go to the convenience later, and then gradually got used to it. After all, there are not many places where there are people on the way, and even if there are people, she can't go to other people's homes for convenience.

Ling Xiao saw that the original owner was gradually getting used to traveling thousands of miles, so she told her some plans of her own, while the original owner suggested to live in a countryside. She also saw a lot of bad things during this period, and felt that there were some places that she really didn’t like. , she felt that that kind of remote and deserted place was better.

After hearing what the original owner said, Ling Xiao smiled slightly. The original owner liked Tao Yuanming more when he broadened his horizons, because many of his poems reveal a kind of romance. it is good.And the original owner became more fond of nature after being abandoned again and again, and was not very close.

Ling Xiao naturally saw that she didn't directly say that the so-called picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence was not good, but after leaving the convoy, she found a countryside for the original owner to experience life, and let her experience for herself what farming is.

The original owner received this kind of education for the first time, just in time for harvesting wheat, so that the original owner fully experienced the hard work of farming. When harvesting wheat, he would find that the ears of wheat were extremely itchy, and his hands would get blisters, but he had to do it because he was afraid rain.

After she moved into the village, she found that the hygienic situation was worrisome. Don't talk about sanitation. The people in the countryside didn't develop good hygiene habits. They felt unclean when they ate, and there were many flying insects like mosquitoes and flies.

People who are not rich and powerful will not have any preferential treatment, even Dengdong must be very careful, there are many possibilities for a bad one to fall into a cesspit, and there will be many maggots, which looks disgusting.

The original owner simply couldn't accept this kind of experience, and knew that the reality was not as good as imagined in many cases. She bit the bullet and left that place after harvesting the wheat. She finally knew that the so-called pastoral song was just a dream.

After experiencing it one by one, I know that life is not easy for everyone. She lived very hard before, but those people also lived very hard, and they didn't even have the chance to leave that place.

After she recovered, Ling Xiao went on to calculate the expenses, and specifically asked the original owner to calculate how much money she could earn from planting an acre of land. After this training, she let the original owner know how difficult it is to earn money.
