I was a famous teacher in ancient times

Chapter 796 What is Human Nature?

In the northeast, Ziheng was wearing a thick cloak. He walked forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow. The snow under his feet was too deep, and he would fall if he lost his balance.

Ziheng inhaled the cold air and felt very uncomfortable in his chest. The only thing he was grateful for was the leather boots on his feet to keep him warm. Ziheng looked up at the soldiers in front of him. Each soldier carried a bag of food on his back, a total of 200 soldiers.

It's not that Ziheng doesn't want to mobilize more soldiers, but it's too cold in the Northeast, and he has to think about the soldiers. Now he can only make two hundred leather jackets and boots to keep out the cold.

Even with enough warm leather clothing, the soldiers had chilblains on their faces. The cold wind from the northeast was like a knife, and it hurt too much when it blew on the faces.

This is not the first time for Ziheng to deliver food with the team. Today, they walked a little far. It was almost dark before they saw the village. There was a road cleared for people to walk at the entrance of the village. Not a lot.

Ziheng didn't go door-to-door with the soldiers to deliver food. He was so tired that he sat down on the ground and didn't want to get up.

Guard Jiao was worried about his heir, "I can't go back tonight, I can only rest in the village, you can't take a medicinal bath, you will suffer tomorrow."

Ziheng just felt that his legs were not his own, and it took too much effort to move around in the snow, "I'll just rest for one night."

He couldn't help laughing again, he felt that he was amazing, not only could he defend the city desperately, but he could also personally deliver food to the people, Grandpa must be proud of him.

However, after a while, a soldier hurried back to report the situation in the village.

Ziheng's face turned dark all of a sudden, "Damn it."

In a fit of rage, Ziheng wasn't tired anymore, he strode towards the village with a cold face, one hand clenched the knife at hand, as if he was ready to cut someone down at any time.

When Ziheng arrived, a woman hugged her little clothes and cried over and over again, "I heard the baby crying, I really heard it."

Two men in the yard were held down by soldiers in the snow. One was in his 60s and 30s, and the other was in his [-]s. They kept begging for mercy, saying that the child died at birth.

After hearing this, the woman got up like crazy and bit the man who was speaking. The man wailed and begged for mercy, but the woman refused to let go.

Ziheng called the old woman who delivered the baby. The old woman looked away a little at first, and then the knife was in front of her eyes, and the old woman told the truth that the child was born with anger, and she didn't know what happened next.

Jiao Huwei had already pulled the woman away. The woman was not young anymore. Too many children had died in these years, and she finally had another one, and the child died in the end.

The man in his 30s muttered, "Daughter-in-law, listen to me, there will still be children, there will be more, there will definitely be sons, and the family cannot be cut off."

Ziheng frowned, and the soldiers who searched for the child's bones returned after a while. The soldiers looked very ugly, because nothing was found, which meant that the child's body was either eaten by wild animals or picked up by people.

As the soldier's voice fell, Ziheng looked at all the villagers present.

He closed his eyes. In troubled times, he was forced to eat people helplessly. Now that there is relief food, if there are still people like this, they are beasts in human skin.

Ziheng said coldly: "Check it out for me, I won't tolerate it."

When my uncle took back the states in the Northeast, he sent people to propagate the law from village to village, focusing on the prohibition of cannibalism.

Ziheng's heart sank a little bit, some people were forced to helpless, some people have long been used to it, such people can no longer be called human beings.

The village is not big, and it is too difficult to hide secrets, and the neighbors will notice the slightest disturbance.

Soon an honest man knelt down in the yard. The man had a simple and honest face. He was already scared to death at this moment, and he said stiffly: "The villain didn't kill anyone."

The people's eyes widened, and they were very surprised to find the person. Several men took two steps back in fear. They remembered that the man gave wild fruits to the children at home, and the more they thought about it, the colder their backs became.

The woman groaned and fainted. The woman's husband also had red eyes. He wanted his son to be true, but he also buried the child. "Beast."

Ziheng's expression became even colder. The two of them waved at the soldiers in half. The honest man wanted to beg for mercy, but unfortunately his head had already fallen to the ground.

Although the world has been unified, there are still many problems in each state, and some things have zero tolerance. While shocking, it also tells the people what is human nature.

The people in the village were terrified, they did not dare to look into the cold eyes of the adults.

Ziheng didn't regret the murder, because the man just now didn't repent and let him continue to live without knowing who became the victim.

When Ziheng returned to Fucheng, he wrote an article about what is human nature, and sent the article back to the south.

There are no newspapers in the north now, and Ziheng misses the newspapers in the southern states. He can know the affairs of each state by reading the newspapers every day.

When Yang Xixuan saw Ziheng's article, he said to Wanning: "The other states in the north also have what Ziheng said."

Wanning's stomach churned, "Obviously there is relief food."

Yang Xixuan sneered, "Some people can no longer be called human beings."

Even if the northern states are controlled by soldiers, the number of soldiers is limited, and it is difficult for soldiers to take care of some people who hide.

Wanning's eyes were filled with disgust, "Damn it."

Yang Xixuan, "Damn it indeed, so as Ziheng said, some things cannot be tolerated."

Wanning read Ziheng's article again, "Ziheng is both civil and military, hey, I don't know who to marry for such a good boy."

Yang Xixuan rubbed his nose. Recently, many ministers came to talk to him. His sister was annoyed, and finally tricked him, saying that he was in charge of Ziheng's marriage.

However, Yang Xixuan raised his chin proudly, "There is no girl who is worthy of Ziheng yet."

Wanning was speechless, "Your request is too high."

She already knew a lot of good girls, and she paid special attention to Ziheng!
Yang Xixuan raised his eyebrows. His nephew is the best, so he naturally wants to match the best girl.

As Ziheng's article was published in the newspaper, he, who was already highly topical, once again became the subject of discussion by the court ministers. Zhou Shizi's achievements in the north are outstanding. Not engaged yet.

Yang Xi and his wife hid early, leaving Yang Xixuan to face the jealous ministers, "."

Yang Xixuan couldn't bear the feeling of being begged by a family!

The end of the ninth year of troubled times is approaching, which means the beginning of a new year, and the unification of the country has ended the troubled times. This year's New Year is of great significance.

Merchants from the south rushed to the north to transport a lot of New Year's goods, red lanterns, red paper, candles for sacrifices, etc. during the New Year.

The New Year is full of flavor in the north and the south. In the nine years of troubled times, it is the first stable New Year in the north. Even if the people in the north have no money, in order to have a good omen, every household takes out the copper coins they have saved to buy new year goods, even if there is a pair of couplets.

In the years when people die in every household, many details of keeping filial piety are ignored, and the people want to have a good omen.

In the nine years of troubled times, the people are too eager for a new start.

People in the north don't have much money to buy new year's goods, but the people in the south have a better life. While buying new year's goods in a big way, they also like to go to temples to pray for Yang Xixuan.

Yang Xi and his wife also went to the temple a few years ago, seeing everything in their eyes. The people prayed for Xixuan's long life, and at the same time prayed for Juanjuan, hoping that Juanjuan would love the people like Xixuan.
