When we arrived at the orphanage, there were some childish graffiti on the walls, as well as simple amusement facilities for children.
They roughly understood what the orphanage meant, after all, the two orphans were clearly there.
According to the Huainanzi, Cheng Tang, the founding monarch of the Shang Dynasty, had "lightly levied taxes and collected them to be lenient to the people. He implemented policies of virtue to relieve the poor. He visited the dead and asked about the sick to support widows and orphans."
The Zhou Dynasty, which inherited the advantages of the Shang Dynasty, also showed great kindness to the poor and helpless widows and orphans.
Although the country had not yet formed a special welfare agency at that time, there were officials who were responsible for or part-time social security affairs.
The Zhou Li clearly proposed the "Six Policies of Protecting Interests": the first of which was "Love for Children". The Guanzi emphasized the "Nine Benevolence Teachings": "Love for Children" ranked second.
During the Qin Dynasty, unearthed Qin bamboo slips showed that: infants without mothers or whose mothers had died could receive half a stone of grain from relevant government departments every month; infants and young children could not be harmed without authorization, otherwise the person concerned would be "made to work as a farmer"; crimes committed by young children were generally not punished economically or criminally...
Han inherited the Qin system and treated young children preferentially.
Whenever natural disasters or man-made disasters occurred, the court would clearly include young children in the scope of relief when providing disaster relief.
However, as in the pre-Qin period, there was still no special social security institution (at least no such institution was found to exist) to raise these homeless children - until the Lonely Garden appeared.
Lonely Garden was the earliest official special institution for support and relief in my country established by the Liang Dynasty in the second year of the Common Era. It was responsible for supporting lonely and helpless elderly people or children without parents (including fathers) in various places.
There were also various initiatives and institutions in subsequent dynasties, but money was limited and abandoned infants were unlimited.
Seeing Seele telling Xing and Bronya everything about her past here, I knew she still missed the time in the orphanage.
"At first I thought the doctor was just a weak woman. Now I think, even if she is the only doctor with excellent medical skills in the lower class, if she wants to build a place to adopt orphans, she has to bear the cost of food, clothing and other expenses for the orphans..."
"This is as difficult as ascending to heaven."
If Natasha is just a doctor in the lower class who has no ability to protect herself, this is indeed as difficult as ascending to heaven.
So, she must have some other identity.
What, you said that maybe she just happened to have a good relationship with Oleg, the boss of the Earth Fire, and got the support of a retired veteran.
Well, this is not impossible.
But what they never expected was that while they were walking around, Bronya murmured something like she was quite familiar with this place and it was not an illusion! ?
"Wait a minute, isn't Bronya the biological daughter of the Great Guardian Cocolia!?"
"She used to stay in an orphanage? Could she have been living among the people? Did she just happen to get lost?"
"Do you think everyone is Sambo, who can go underground despite the blockade!"
"Besides, don't you think that Cocolia cares about her daughter so much that she could let her get lost so accidentally?"
Thinking about Cocolia's crazy look after Bronya was taken underground by Sambo, I couldn't help shivering.
Yes, just based on Cocolia's concern and maternal love for Bronya, I'm afraid the whole Beloberg will be turned over, and the kind of people who want to see the person alive and the body dead will be found.
An exquisite snowball was found in the materials filled with alcohol. It was Bronya's thing.
This also directly proved that Bronya's feeling was not wrong. She had indeed been here.
Looking at this snowball, people who saw it for the first time couldn't help but widen their eyes.
They don't have glass there, so when they see this snowball, they just think it's made of precious things like colored glass.
However, if we compare it to the colored glass inlaid on the windows of the lower and upper districts, although they are jealous, they can only be classified as colored glass is not a rare thing in their place.
Some smart people have already thought of new products and ways to make money.
[Bronya took the snowball and said to Seele and Xing with a nostalgic look, "This is... my childhood stuff."
Seele: You, when you were a child?! Are you sure..."
There was a dreamlike trance in her tone, which was incredible!
They actually have the things of the daughter of the Great Guardian here!
Xing touched his chin and asked according to normal people's thinking, "Have you been to this town when you were a child?"
Bronya shook her head and denied her guess, "No, I remember now..."
"I used to live here..." Bronya lowered her head, "Just when the city builder took me away,Before Lady Cocolia adopted me, I lived here! I... am from the lower district. "
Seele choked, "You are from the lower district? No, you said Cocolia, you are the adopted daughter of the "Great Guardian"? Then..."
Seele tried to organize her words, the incident came too suddenly.
This matter, whether it is Bronya herself or getting them as companions, has a sense of routine that only appears in novels.
Bronya sighed, "Yes, I am the designated heir of the city builder."
"In the future, I will become the guardian of Beloberg."
Bronya covered her head in distress, her eyes full of confusion, "Why, why did I remember it only now? My childhood memories are so vague..."
Xing: "You were too young at the time. "
This is indeed a reasonable answer.
Xing and Seele stayed beside Bronya, quietly waiting for her to sort out her thoughts.
Bronya: "The builders said that the selection of the "Guardian" successor will be carried out throughout Beloberg, and the process will take a few years or decades."
"During this period, every child who has reached the age in the upper and lower districts will be tested, and only one qualified child will be selected in the end."
Bronya looked around, "I seem to be... selected here and brought to the ground..."
Seele: "Children in the orphanage always come and go... I never thought that there would be a future great guardian among us! Does Natasha know about this? Has she been hiding it..."
With Natasha's ability, Seele will inevitably think that she doesn't know about this. On the contrary, maybe the other party has known it for a long time?
Bronya refuted Seele's conjecture, "I don't think she knows, because the selection of the guardian successor is an absolute secret, and the selected children must completely bid farewell to the past. ”
This is an election that concerns the fate of Beloberg, and it is impossible to tell any outsider.
"That's why I became the daughter of Lord Cocolia. I have no other identity except the next guardian. But I am so far away..."
The time in the lower district was short, but it was enough for Bronya to face the reality. What she thought was not true, and her efforts were minimal.
"I witnessed the Iron Guards sacrificed in the Rift every day, but I could not make up my mind to change my mother's mind."
Bronya has a strong sense of responsibility in her heart, and therefore she will have a strong sense of self-blame.
"I knew that the lower district was suffering, but I couldn't help at all."
"My former home has become like this, but I was still completely kept in the dark..."
The more she talked, the more depressed Bronya became, "In the end, I couldn't "protect" anything. ”
“Why was I chosen? How can I be competent...”
Standing here, I can clearly feel that Bronya is beginning to doubt her life and feels that she is useless.
Fortunately, there is someone here who can comfort Bronya. No, can this be called comfort?
Seele got angry when she saw Bronya's dejected look.
“Hey, have you said enough?”
Bronya looked at Seele in confusion, with a sad expression on her face.
Seele was a little impatient, “You are crying and making so much noise. ”
This is not how they solve these problems in the lower district.
Crying is the most useless thing in the lower district.
Bronya: "I..."
Seele's eyes were wide open, looking directly into Bronya's eyes, "What? You said a few words to move yourself, thinking that I will sympathize with you?"
"You can hide in the palace and think about it, and you don't have to gamble your life on the front line, but what about the people in the lower district? It's good enough to be alive if you don't have food to eat!"
"Even if you are just a ray of light, you must illuminate others! This is what you said."
"Don't you want to protect everyone? Compared to crying here, don't you have anything more important to do! ? "
Seele said it well!
Standing by, the Star Core Spirit gave a thumbs up in her heart!
After this verbal attack, even she, a Star Core Spirit with fifty years of Internet experience, felt inferior.
Bronya, who was hit hard by Seele's words, finally stopped complaining about herself, "Indeed, self-pity can't solve any problems."
Bronya: "Thank you, Seele. Usually when I am trapped in negative thoughts, there is always a soothing voice next to me; no one has ever dared to wake me up like you did."
SeeleTurning his head, he started to feel awkward again when facing Bronya's thanks, "Hmph, I can't comfort you, I can wake you up as many times as you want."
After all, Seele is best at fighting with real swords and guns.
"I can tell at a glance that you have too much baggage in your heart. Why do you push yourself to that point?"
Seele is not only good at fighting, she is also a girl who observes carefully and has delicate emotions.
Bronya: "As the future guardian of Beloberg, I must always examine my behavior and thoughts."
This is why she has such a heavy burden in her heart.
Because the burden of the guardian is too heavy.
If you are not careful, the entire Beloberg will fall into an abyss of no return.
Xi'er: "Yes, yes, Miss~ Humph, the future Great Guardian actually came from the same orphanage as me... What a bad fate."
"Do you want me to take you around the orphanage? Unlike you, I remember everything about my childhood clearly."
Xing looked at the two people walking together and chatting enthusiastically, and stood aside with some grievance.
"It's obviously a world of three people, why am I the only one who doesn't fit in?"
With his hands on his hips, Xing rolled his eyes unhappily.
But he was still considerate enough to leave them some private space and walked around by himself.
I just didn't expect that I could meet Clara while strolling around!
It was really shocking.
Clara's answer was that because some of the wanderers were injured, she took the initiative to come here to look for supplies.
Because she understood that it was not easy for everyone, she was willing to share these supplies with Xi'er and the others. 】
"So, the future Great Guardian is not the Great Guardian's biological daughter, and even the current Great Guardian is not the daughter of the previous Great Guardian..."
"Is the way they choose leaders in Beloberg actually to adopt other people's children!?"
The sky is about to fall!
Ordinary people have complicated feelings, and the emperors need not say more.
How could they hand over their family business to children adopted from outside!
"This is what is called the capable one!"
"Kings, princes, generals, and ministers, are not of the same kind!"
"The emperor takes turns, is it my turn this year?"
"Shh, shut up, you kid are not afraid of getting into trouble!"
The old man selling cakes stuffed a cake into the mouth of the scholar in a bad mood.
This scholar doesn't want to live, he still wants to live, and then live more years!
This is the good story of the ancient times, the era of Yao, Shun, and Yu!
Yes, that's it, the throne of the emperor has always been occupied by the capable since ancient times!
However, people are not saints, they have their own selfish desires, and they cannot treat everyone equally when judging the closeness and distance.
Even Confucius could not help but be stunned when he saw the way Beloberg chose his leader, that is, the lord.
The rituals and music that were destroyed by the rituals and music refer to the Zhou rituals.
Now the abdication system of the Yao, Shun and Yu era is in front of us. Even if it is not 100% to select the virtuous and capable, but to adopt a child with no blood, and finally train him to be an excellent heir and push him to the throne.
That is enough to explode!
The good stories that have been passed down do not mean that they are willing to realize it!
Ask which emperor would agree with Beloberg's inheritance system.
No emperor would agree, and even think that this person might be talking nonsense, and think that the head is too heavy to wear on the neck.
[After returning to Natasha and handing over the supplies to her, the three of them went to meet up with their companions without stopping.
Oleg, the boss of the Underworld, was willing to help, even though the train group's plan was full of loopholes in his eyes.
But the Lower District was already in a critical moment of life and death. They had to fight for themselves and the Lower District.
However, despite this, Oleg did not want the people in the Lower District to fight with Svarro's robots and lose their lives in vain.
But he would still wait in the distance, waiting for an order to help.
The three people in the train group, as well as Seele and Bronya, were responsible for persuading the people of Svarro.
But unexpectedly, the guide of Svarro's camp was Sambo.
Looking at Sambo's face, Xing couldn't help but shake her head and sigh, hoping that this guy would be consistent in his words and deeds and stop causing trouble. She didn't want to fight with Svarro for no reason again.
Just like the time with Jeppard.
The wanderer camp where Swarlow was located was different from what they thought. The wanderers here were quite orderly and seemed to be in good spirits.
Along the way, they passed five levels and killed six generals. Poor Xiao Sanyue was bitten by the traffic light robot three times. Thank you Xiao Sanyue for your contribution.
But I didn't expect that something went wrong halfway, and I went to the rivet again.The town rescued Clara.
As a family member recognized by Swarro, everyone still wanted to win her support.
Although Clara looked soft, she actually had her own opinions and would not easily change her mind.
Swarro did not hide what he did from Clara, and Clara repeated his original words to them.
In Swarro's view, the world was suffering from terrible things, and the ground was about to come to an end. Only by staying underground could they live as long as possible.
Clara could agree to other things, but she could not help them convince Swarro.
In Clara's heart, she also agreed with Swarro's idea.
Dan Heng thought that Swarro was right. The locals of Beloberg could not solve the star core crisis at all.
It's just that his calculations were not updated and iterated, and no new variables were introduced, such as them.
This was a crucial point to convince Swarro, and it was also an important point to convince Clara.
After everyone's unremitting efforts, Clara was convinced to help and met Swarro.
But Xing used his eloquence, but it only worked on humans.
As a robot, Swarro's head was a real mechanical head.
In Swarro's view, the train group did not have enough evidence to prove that they were variables and tried to get their hands on the star core.
The peace talks broke down directly, and in the end, they could only rely on their own skills to see the truth!
After joining forces with Natasha and others who came to support, they defeated Swarro after a hard battle.
Clara stopped everyone at the critical moment, which prevented Swarro from being directly beaten to scrap.
Clara: "Mr. Swarro can't fight anymore, please... please don't hurt him!"
Standing in front of Swarro, Clara was so anxious that she was about to cry.
In this situation, they were like some unforgivable villains.
Anyway, Xiao Sanyue couldn't do it, and everyone looked at each other and put down their weapons.
They are here to find clues to the star core, not to make enemies.
"Clara... Ra..."
Swarovski looked at the little man in front of him, and his mind made up of data couldn't help but feel warm.
Clara: "Mr. Swarovski... please don't be so stubborn anymore. Can you tell everyone what you know?"
"Mr. Swarovski said, | you are willing to fulfill every wish for me, right?"
"Clara's biggest wish now is that everyone can unite... like a family."
Seeing that Swarovski was still silent, Clara knew that he had begun to waver. What she needed to do now was to tell Swarovski everything she thought about, as a family member.
"In the past period of time, Clara learned one thing, that is, the results of calculations may not necessarily bring happiness to everyone."
"Even if you know that the world outside the cage is not so beautiful... people still want to stick their heads out to take a look."
Under the nervous gaze of everyone, Swarovski finally changed his original decision.
Swarovski: "The evaluation system is restarting... Restarting successfully. Variables are being converted..."
"Variable 1: Clara's demands... Variable 2: Motives of the outsider."
Xing felt that Swarovski had a flexible bottom line, worthy of being the first generation of the robot.
Swarovski: "Evaluation results updated: The decision-making power is transferred to the outsider, and access to information related to the "Star Core" is allowed."
March Seven felt incredible, "Is this considered a success?"
Xing: "Our strength has been recognized."
March Seven: "Even so, if it weren't for Clara... Swarovski would never let us access that information, right?"
Although she looked stupid, she was not really stupid.
She could still tell who contributed the most.
Dan Heng: "I hope his memory bank does contain data related to the "Star Core." "
Xi'er: "Is this the end, Nata? We, the "Earth Fire", and the lower area... have we won?"
Natasha shook her head, her face serious, "No, Xi'er. ”
“Our battle with them… has just begun.”
Now we have only found clues to the star core, and how to fight the star core is the most important thing!
Bronya: “Finally, it’s finally time.”
Seele: What, are you nervous?”
Bronya shook her head, “No, it’s not so much nervousness, but something in my chest is hurting.
Star: “The truth always hurts, who is lying, it’s your turn to judge.”
Anyway, it’s time to face the truth.It's time for the prime minister.
At this time, it's too late to withdraw, anyway, their train group must solve the big problem of the star core! 】
Calm down the shock brought by the Beloberg inheritance system. Anyway, the most urgent thing is to change the topic quickly.
The princes and ministers watched their noses and hearts, and they didn't dare to breathe.
They haven't lived enough.
They have only been officials for a few years, and they don't want to lose their lives because of the inheritance system of the heavenly man.
Even if the king of heaven comes, the people in the world must be the bloodline owners of their emperor's lineage to be!
Having said that, for the emperors who have always believed that they are the sons of destiny, and that they can guarantee their lineage to sit on the throne forever by connecting with heaven and offering sacrifices to gods, it can be said that their worldview is about to collapse and reorganize.
Lies have been told for thousands of years. Even if you know that he is a lie, thousands of years later, it will become a truth that you believe in.
Otherwise!
Can they still be shaken, saying that they are not as powerful as they think, and the so-called destiny is just their own fantasy. The emperor who controls the world is not the so-called son of destiny, but just an ordinary person?
Even if someone comes to overthrow him, it is because he is useless. God allows him to rebel, and he has the rationality of rebellion! ?
After all, the sky is the place where the capable are!
In the feudal era where theocracy and imperial power are highly unified, this is simply disrespectful. Anyone who dares to publicize or comment will be guilty of losing his head.
It doesn’t matter what the gods in the sky think about inheritance. What matters is that their emperor’s line must be the people favored by God and the emperors who rule the world for generations!
I don’t want you to think, I want me to think!
Saying that the other party is spreading rumors and misleading the public, and turning the tables, are all their specialties!
"So, are we going to confront Cocolia face to face next?"
Even a recognized wise monarch like Li Shimin thinks that the Beloberg inheritance law is really absurd.
Seeing Li Shimin frowning and looking gloomy, Changsun Wuji changed the topic in time.
Li Shimin took two deep breaths, adjusted his mentality, put it behind his mind, and began to change the topic.
"It seems that there is no peace talk."
"I think Cocolia is even more stubborn than this Svaro."
"Not to mention that there is still the star core bewitching her until now. The possibility of persuading Cocolia with words alone... is not high."
Li Shimin took the initiative to change the topic and shifted the topic to the star core in Cocolia.
It also made the atmosphere in the whole court less tense.
The ministers in the court wiped the cold sweat on their foreheads and quickly agreed.
PS: I'm done writing. I'm exhausted.
School is like this. I feel empty, lonely, cold, bored, and busy every day without knowing what I'm busy with.
