This late Ming Dynasty is outrageous

Chapter 224 14: Thousand Mountain Birds Fly Absolutely
After Chongzhen and others left, Cao Kun stood in the yard with his hands behind his back and looked at the sky.

The sky was low, not a single star could be seen.

"what happened to you?"

"nothing."

"But you're worried about the Heavenly Demon?"

Cao Kun shook his head slowly: "I had already expected that the Heavenly Demon would have more means. Although I was surprised that he could summon dead generals to join the battle, I wasn't too nervous."

Zhang Yan walked up to Cao Kun and looked at Cao Kun's frowning with some worry: "Then why do you have such an expression? I've never seen you so tangled up before." She stretched out her fingertips to touch Cao Kun Kun's eyebrows seemed to smooth out the wrinkles.

Cao Kun slowly closed his eyes, and the expression on his face relaxed.

Zhang Yan held his face and said, "Be happy, I feel sorry for you. Tell me what happened. If you really don't want to care, let's just close the door and live our own lives."

Cao Kun smiled bitterly: "If I can close the door, I won't be able to hear the movement outside. How can I be so worried?"

He collected himself, and said with hesitation on his face, "It's going to snow."

Zhang Yan was stunned: "Isn't it normal to snow? It's already winter, and the weather is getting colder and colder. It's time to snow."

"There is a lack of clothing and food in the city, and the people have already been starving. If it snows, how will they survive the severe winter?" Cao Kun said with a wry smile: "If Li Zicheng comes to fight, I am afraid that the capital will be killed or injured. Wait until then At that time, the entire capital city was hell on earth."

"I really can't bear to go out again. If I saw the scene of hell on earth, I would definitely help. But you also know that I always like to be cautious and hide in the dark."

Cao Kun moved his lips, he wanted to hang on, otherwise who knows if there will be other LYBs hiding like himself in the dark.But he couldn't bear it. As a modern person saw this tragic scene, the education he received did not allow him to stand by and watch.

In later generations, whenever there is a catastrophe and clouds move in all directions, volunteers from all over the world gather in one place to tide over the difficulties together.Although Cao Kun didn't have the courage to help and was worried about his own life, he still donated something more or less every time to let his conscience live.

In the final analysis, he is just a small person. Even though he has time-traveled, he knows the carelessness in his heart, but his heart is still cautious and quite selfish.He neither had the courage to give it a go, nor the determination to fight with his back.He's just an ordinary little person hiding behind the screen, typing hard on the keyboard to vent his dissatisfaction.

Zhang Yan didn't expect that Cao Kun would be so entangled in this kind of thing. While she was a little distressed, she still showed a doting smile, dumbfounded: "Why are you so thoughtful?"

Zhang Yan reproachfully raised Cao Kun's face in her jade hand and pulled it down. She raised her snow-white face, and met Cao Kun's dodging gaze with bright eyes and said, "If you know the way, you can help the world at the same time. If you can take care of yourself, how can you help others? If you feel bad, just follow the example of those scholars who recite poems and compose poems to hurt the spring and autumn, and feel that the people have turned over. Close the door, you and I are romantic, come out of sight, out of mind, When winter is over and everyone forgets their scars, isn’t it the same day?”

When it comes to worrying about the common people, Zhang Yan naturally has some.She never thought that Cao Kun would be so entangled in a heavy snowfall. In Zhang Yan's view, if the imperial court had the ability, it would naturally help. But now that Chongzhen is in danger, the people in this city can only ignore it.

It's not that Zhang Yan is cruel, but that everyone has their own position.No matter how kind she is, it is impossible to cut off Chongzhen's flesh to help the people, let alone cut off her own flesh for outsiders to eat.If it is really done, then Zhang Yan is not Zhang Yan, but Buddha.

"Don't think about it obediently. Didn't they get a lot of gold and silver? I'll go back and ask if I can buy some food to help the people. The country's affairs are difficult and the court is empty. This matter cannot be done by myself. If you do it, you are only making yourself sad when you feel depressed, which is useless."

Zhang Yan looked at Cao Kun quite amusedly, couldn't help but raised her jade hand and patted Cao Kun's head, and teased like a child, "Master, give me a laugh."

Cao Kun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I'm laughing at your sister."

"I don't have a girl, so I'm afraid I won't be able to get what I want." Zhang Yan smiled foolishly, then raised her head excitedly and said, "It's really snowing, let's go back, it's so cold outside."

Cao Kun raised his head and saw snowflakes falling under the low sky. Those white snow particles were holy and flawless, as if they could wash away the filth in the world and make the land white and clean.However, Cao Kun didn't feel any poetic excitement, but felt that the heavy snow was the last straw that crushed the people in the capital.

It was cold, but his heart was quite irritable. An evil fire kept burning in his chest, and he said impatiently, "What are you going back for? Let's go to the roof."

As soon as the words fell, Cao Kun jumped up to the roof carrying Zhang Yan.The wind was even colder, and the snow pellets hit the cheeks, making them feel cool, but Cao Kun held Zhang Yan in his arms, and both hearts were beating hotly.

Zhang Yan sighed, feeling the irritability of the man behind her, she couldn't help raising her face and looking back: "How big do you think the snow will be?"

Cao Kun said, "How do I know?"

Zhang Yan sighed: "Snowing is a beautiful thing. The so-called auspicious snow heralds a good year. But everything in the world depends on when and what happens. Now, for the common people, it is not a good omen. But you don't Think too much, what's the use of thinking too much? How about imagining the snow-covered snow scene, so that you can feel better."

Cao Kun was already irritable, how could he think of any snow scene?
But Zhang Yan said: "You should think about it, we can't bear such heavy snow, and Li Zicheng and the Tartars will also stop. As the saying goes, birds in thousands of mountains will fly away, and people in thousands of paths will disappear. The heavy snow does not only affect us. Own."

"Why did you suddenly recite poetry?"

"I'm just reminding you that when the snow gets heavier, no bird will dare to fly outside in this world, and no one will brave the cold to advance on this small road."

"The power of heaven and earth is frightening. Compared with it, human beings are like ants."

"The sages of the people are very wise. I heard that there were no houses in the past, but later they had houses for heating. If the birds also had houses to keep warm, they would be able to move a few times even if they were covered by heavy snow. .”

Leaning in Cao Kun's arms, Zhang Yan twisted her round snowy buttocks a few times.She turned her head, raised her small face, bit her red lips and looked at Cao Kun with winking eyes, her eyes could speak.

Cao Kun was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "It's like a bird flies away in a thousand mountains, and people in a thousand paths disappear." He looked at the bigger snowflakes, bit Zhang Yan's earlobe and said softly: "Don't worry, there is no one left." I am by your side. No matter how cold it is, you will see things flying on the mountain and people running on the road."

"I don't believe it, just take a look." Zhang Yan pouted and turned around in disbelief, then raised her head and fell down little by little.

The first village in the world.

Princess Jiu raised her head and looked at the snowflakes in the sky. She frowned slightly and picked up two balls of snow-white and soft cotton. Then she found a thick long stick and put it in the cotton. Press said: "Give me the rope, if it is tied firmly, we will set off."

The nine maids next to me did the same: "The princess has a way. This wooden stick is wrapped with cotton, so it won't freeze your hands."

"Call the owner."

"Ah... I forgot again, owner forgive me."

Jiu'er bit one end of the wooden stick, held the cotton-wrapped wooden stick with one hand, wrapped the end of the thread in the other hand and said indistinctly, "Hurry up, we're about to set off."

As she spoke, she rolled the thread with her tongue, tied a knot with her right hand, and tied the cotton and the end of the wooden stick tightly. Then she grasped it with her jade hand, feeling that the thickness was right, and she finally showed a smile: "Shu Tan .”

Jiu'er stood up holding the wooden stick, and seeing several maids also using their tongues to tie the rope with their little hands, she smashed the wooden stick a few times and said with a smile: "We are not very experienced in arresting people for the first time, so We don’t need weapons. When we succeed this time and gain experience, we will go out with weapons in the future.”

"Then Li Zicheng is about to call the capital. Father and the prince are very afraid, but I am not. If he dares to come then, I will definitely make him regret his rebellion."
