I have lived forever since the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 340: So many past events, all gone in the wind
Weddings and funerals all require a banquet.

Eating banquets is often forced from a young age, such as hundred-day banquets, one-year-old banquets, and being carried by parents to eat banquets. Later, when young people eat banquets, they are ignorant and follow their elders to strangers and old people. funerals, or wedding banquets of uncles and uncles; when we are adults, most of the banquets are full of thoughts, such as the death of a close relative in the family, an accident to a close friend, or the marriage of a certain ex; when we enter our twilight years, every banquet is more like It's about remembering, in a lively atmosphere, remembering old friends and remembering your past self.

But when it comes to eating, the hardest thing to eat in this life is your own table.

A big banquet attracts countless relatives and friends. Just dealing with interpersonal relationships is quite a headache. There is really no time to savor the dishes on the table.

As for the hardest thing to eat, it was my own funeral banquet.

But Chen Luo was quietly hiding in a corner, eating his meal calmly.

He filled half a bowl of soup with a spoon, which was pear soup, and couldn't help but murmur to himself: "I've put a lot of thought into the dishes at this banquet, but I just want to drink."

The lean man sitting next to him had been devouring his food, and he happened to be taking a drink of water to take a break, so he continued: "After all, this is a funeral, and no alcohol or meat is allowed. But it's too big and full, and it tastes good, well... at least it's better than My mother-in-law makes it much more delicious."

"That's true." Chen Luo rubbed his chin, but there was not much conversation. After the lean man took a breath, he continued to eat.

It's like having a "eokbang" next to you. I originally had no appetite, but now I feel that I don't have anything to chew in my mouth anymore, and it seems very out of place.

So he swallowed the chewed pear pieces, and then took out a handful of amaranth from the dinner plate. The amaranth in this season has the best taste. Although the variety is not as good as that of later generations, it has the three characteristics of "smooth", "tender" and "red". The most notable features are already present.

Feeling the delicious juice jumping on his taste buds, the corners of Chen Luo's mouth raised slightly.

However, he quickly remembered that this was his own funeral, so he forcibly returned to his sad expression.

Having said that, Chen Luo felt that his various perceptions in recent days were very strange.

People everywhere talk about their names, praise their achievements, and recall their past.

How sincere can the condolences of those unfamiliar faces be?

Most people just cried and howled a few times in order to cope with Liu Qi's orders and complete the tasks.

But he did meet strangers who were genuinely sad about his passing.

Among those people are Mohist disciples who follow their own example, ordinary people who live a good life because of their policies, and officials who uphold their own spirit of not fearing power...

Even Chen Luo never thought that he could influence so many people.

At the beginning of the time travel, he just wanted to survive and not die in the rain in Daze Township. Then he went to get to know Xiang Yu. The original purpose was just to gain fame and easily survive the troubled times of the late Qin Dynasty, and then become a minor in the early Han Dynasty. If the Chehou is not small enough, it can be smashed.

Just walking in this era, Chen Luo couldn't help but do something, even if the changes were contrary to the existence of the clock-in system.

After all, "three years of severe drought", "rivers bursting their banks", "eating by changing children" and "thousands of miles of bones" in history books are abstract concepts. It is impossible to imagine what the scene was like at that time based on just a few lines of text on a white paper. cruel.

If it becomes a concrete scene, such as witnessing a series of car accidents with your own eyes, and your ears filled with the screams of the injured with bloody flesh, or a classmate who has met several times jumped from the roof of the dormitory, and passed the scene afterwards, the bluestone There was a pool of maroon blood... When most people experience something like this, their mood will be more or less depressed for a short period of time, and they may even have a few nightmares.

Therefore, who can remain indifferent when seeing the mourning people everywhere and the city filled with blood?
Looking back suddenly, I didn't expect that I had done so many things in the late Qin and early Han Dynasties.

The conflict between Chu and Han was avoided, the Mohist fire was preserved, the birth of "Huaiyin Art of War" was promoted, new agricultural tools were promoted and spread, the arrogance of the Xiongnu was suppressed, and South Vietnam naturally became "since ancient times"...

Chen Luo did not let the regrets of history become his own regrets.

In the next turbulent era, there are also many things that will make countless future generations sigh.

Of course, he never expected that due to the butterfly effect, "Li Guang could not be sealed" had become a thing of the past. I am afraid that when later generations of literati and poets lamented their own circumstances, they would lack an analogy.

"Brother, are you in a bad mood?" After eating and drinking, the muscular man looked at the almost untouched dinner plate and looked at Chen Luo curiously, "Are you related to Yang Xiahou? No, Yang Xiahou’s relatives will not sit in this position, um..."

"Have you ever been favored by Marquis Yang Xia?" The strong man was a self-conscious man. He started to eat and did not show this. Now that he was full and drunk, and needed to vent his excess energy, he naturally couldn't control his mouth. , "Let me tell you, in every household in Yangxia, who has not received the blessings of the old Yangxia Marquis? As for the crops in the fields, my father said that in the past, it was considered a good year to harvest two and a half stones from an acre of land. Now, As long as it is not a big wasteland, it is basically stable at more than three stones, and those masters of the Moh family..."

Attend your own funeral, eat at your own table, and listen to others praise you...

Chen Luo clicked his toes silently in his cloth shoes.

This feeling is indeed wonderful, so refreshing.

I was chatting with the strong man next to me, and I heard the other person say surprisingly: "Actually, I think Lao Yang Xiahou is not dead."

Thanks to the body and qi cultivation skills he has developed over the years, Chen Luo only opened his eyes slightly for a moment, then changed his expression to doubtful, tilted his head slightly and asked, "Oh? What do you mean by this?"

He changed his appearance through the system's face pinching function, and now he has made some fine adjustments based on his appearance in his twenties.

What's more, in the inherent perception, "Chen Luo" is already a dead person, or a dead old man.

I'm afraid that when Xiang Yu comes over, he won't even dare to say that he is Chen Luo, let alone a stranger.

If the other party can guess his true identity, then he will eat the document in front of him.

So Chen Luo listened calmly to the strong man sharing his insights, "The Mohist master said something when he taught us how to read.

He said that people will die three times in this life. The first time is when the soul passes to heaven; the second time is when the funeral is over, which means that there is no more identity such as household registration; the last time is when no one in the world remembers you, remembers your name and Deeds are complete death'.

Brother, look at Lao Yang Xiahou, so many people in the world are mourning him, even the emperor is doing this. His name and deeds will be known to people for thousands of years to come, just like those of Confucius, Mencius and so on. Someone will talk about it.

Isn't this just another sense of immortality? "

This strong man talks eloquently and obviously has his own unique insights in this regard.

"Yes, yes." Chen Luo nodded and relaxed.

It was indeed a false alarm.

Regarding the phrase "three deaths of a person", I have forgotten on which occasions I have mentioned it in casual conversations. I did not expect that it would be evaluated as "immortal" in such a way.

However, there are still loopholes in the other party's evaluation.

His own immortality is immortality in the true sense.

……

The meal is over.

The muscular man seemed to still be talking about sex and wanted to continue chatting with him.

But Chen Luo refused because he had something to do at home and left.The other side showed regret.

After all, as a chatty person, he could only talk to straw when farming in the fields, which was extremely boring. But when he returned home, chatting with his wife always felt a bit boring. Now that he thinks about it carefully, he feels that it is his wife. It is difficult to understand the thoughts and content he wants to convey every time.

But the stranger I met at the banquet was different.

Although the other party is used to keeping silent, just from the look in his eyes, you can tell that the other party can fully understand your various opinions, and he is simply a perfect listener!

It's a pity that the other party is busy and can't continue chatting freely.

Chen Luo left the place where the funeral banquet was held and sighed slowly.

Now he has said goodbye to his identity as "Chen Luo".

He might pick it up once or twice later to say goodbye to his old friend.

Then let the name "Chen Luo" completely stay in the history books.

As for the social status of the great Han Yang Xiahou, it has been buried with the coffin.

But he doesn't think it's a pity.

On the road to eternal life, it is not difficult to obtain external things such as fame and fortune.

Moreover, Chen Luo firmly believes that the Great Han Yang Xiahou is not the pinnacle he can reach. There is still a long way to go in the future, and the highlight moments will naturally not be fixed on this identity.

To say that he really felt reluctant to leave, only those old friends and friends associated with the identity of "Chen Luo".

Fame and fortune can be thrown away, but feelings can only be cherished.

He rubbed his brows and then exhaled a breath.

"The burden on me is too heavy. Fortunately, I can have some leisure time." Chen Luo murmured.

In the next dozen years, he can travel around the world with peace of mind.

Those popular tourist attractions in later generations have not been developed at all. Although they do not have all kinds of convenient facilities, they retain the purest style.

In future generations, when I go hiking on the Five Mountains during the Golden Week, will I see beautiful scenery along the way?What I was looking at was the back of my head one after another.

And there is genuine Yunmengze to see, which is more majestic than Dongting Lake, where the water level dropped due to land reclamation in later generations.

Well, you can also try fishing in big rivers and lakes.

The aquatic resources in this era are quite abundant. If you use ruthless materials to make a nest, it is absolutely impossible for the "air force" to happen. You are afraid that you will catch a big fish and cause the rod to explode.

"Let's go." Thinking about his future life, Chen Luo walked out of Yangxia City Gate and then waved behind him.

Although no one responded, there had to be a farewell ceremony.

……

In the 51st year of the Han Dynasty, it was the Qingming Festival.

From ancient times to the present, from south to north, it seems that the sun rarely shines on the day of Qingming. The sky is often dark, with drizzle falling from time to time, but there is rarely a heavy downpour.

In short, even if the pedestrians on the road are not dead, they still feel depressed.

In front of the mausoleum of Marquis Yangxia and his wife.

Avoiding the peak period of tomb-sweeping, Chen Luo came over in the evening under the setting sun after the rain, leaned against a locust tree, then untied the package behind his back and took out one thing after another, "These are the things you like to eat, A Le." , this is the material you liked before, A Le, and this, Wei Di’s gadget, you probably haven’t seen it before..."

After putting everything down and laying it out, he finally took out a gourd.

After thinking about it, Chen Luo put it back into the package: "If you don't like drinking, I won't pour you wine now. I'll give you some tofu curd and white porridge next time."

After a moment of silence, he whispered again: "I've been drinking less recently, mainly because I stayed here in Yangxia with no one to accompany me, and drinking alone was not enough. I went to Han and Wei to relax, and that was it. Of course. , I know you asked me to drink less before, for the sake of my health... By the way, Zhi'er and A'lu have been doing well in the past six months. The title of Marquis of Yangxia was inherited by Zhi'er, and A'lu was divided. The number of households, plus the rewards from Liu Qi, there are probably more than 7000 households, which is more than I originally imagined. Now it is called Taikang Hou according to the ancient name... and ah..."

He talked nonchalantly for half an hour, telling all the big and small things that happened in the past six months, from the situation at home to the interesting things he encountered on the road. Even if he encountered a fight between two wild dogs on the road the day before yesterday, he had not forgotten it. share.

"Normally, there are few people talking. Now that I'm here to see you, don't get tired of talking so much in one breath." Youyou sighed, Chen Luo straightened up, "Let's go, I'll come see you next year."

After he faked his death on the battlefield last year, he immediately chose to rush back to Yangxia.

Chen Luo knew how sad it would be to let Liu Le know the news of his death, so he had to arrive before the news spread back.

With his own skills and the talent of "seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages" provided by the system, Jing Jun had no chance of intercepting him in the mountains.

But when he sneaked back to Yangxia and entered the Hou Mansion, he unexpectedly found Liu Le unconscious on the bed.

Then I found the prescription left by the Mohist doctor and learned that the diagnosis was not optimistic.

After that, Chen Luo stayed near Liu Le's bedroom, waiting for her to wake up and rush to her side as soon as possible.

Before his death, Liu Le woke up more than ten times.

Taking this opportunity, he told the other party everything about himself.

After so many years as a couple, this is the only secret they have kept.

Knowing the cause and effect, Liu Le did not say any words of blame.

Instead, she smiled easily, and then told Chen Luo to take good care of himself in the future, visit the tombs more often when he has time, and put the sachet away so that if he misses her, he can take it out and take a look.

During that time, Chen Luo no longer cared about the outside world, the war situation in the southeast, or what happened to the rebels. He just stayed with Liu Le.

When she finally passed away, she shook her hand very lightly.

----

This person has passed away, but his thoughts will remain forever.The dead are gone, the living are like this.
