The Giant of Light is Still on the Way to Find Home

"As long as you can cross the world line of the dream and prove that you have the courage to overcome despair, you are our guests. This is also the rule set by the boss here."

The beautiful and coquettish woman took the boy's hand. The boy was very strange. Even his mother resisted him. Why would he be so obedient at this time? When he hadn't reacted in his heart, the boy followed the woman. Passed the corridor.

The sound of the woman's strange high-heeled shoes hitting the floor was very loud, and the aftertaste was mixed with echoes.

third room.The two stopped in front of the door, and the door also opened automatically.This room seemed to be a large study room. The boy could already smell the very simple smell of agarwood, as well as the elegant smell of incense.

To his surprise, the two walls were indeed filled with things, but they were not the bamboo slips he imagined, but something that looked like tanned cowhide.

"This is the study."

In the center of the room was a very long table, on which were placed some ritual objects, and in front of the table was a brown, soft chair to sit on.

The woman asked the boy to sit on it, and the boy obediently obeyed, even shrinking back, feeling the elasticity coming from under his body.

"Although it's a dream, it's also a lucid dream, so the feelings here will bring back my own memories."

The woman in red opened a wooden cabinet next to her, and brought a few plates of things he didn't know at all on a wooden tray.

"If you are impatient to wait, you can try it."

"Ayu, have the guests arrived yet?"

The door opened again, and a crowned man in a plain robe walked in. He glanced at the boy on the sofa, and his eyes were full of surprise: "Is it a child?"

The young man's appearance was not handsome, and the boy felt that compared with the big sister beside him, he felt a bit unsuitable.But on closer inspection, the other party's temperament, which is difficult to express with the child's verbal ability, dilutes the sense of ordinaryness on the person, and makes the child feel unconsciously let go of his guard.

"Have you survived despair at such a young age?"

The young man's eyes don't know whether to appreciate it or regret it.

Surviving despair shows that this boy, at this age, has experienced the taste of despair.

This made his heart inevitably heavy.

"Son, since you have arrived here, you are my waiting guest."

Ying An sat on the black sofa in front of the boy, and looked the boy up and down calmly.

"Although I don't know if you understand my child, but as a rule, I'd like to introduce our business here."

"Our place is the No. [-] pawn shop. It is a place that follows the exchange of equal value, exchanges knowledge with the equivalent of the customer, and tries to change the fate. Then, am I lucky enough to know your name, little customer?"

"... Zhao... Zhao Zheng."

the boy replied.

Chapter 236 Chapter 7 Hope

"Do you want the power to protect yourself?"

Boy, it's time to call him by his name.

Ying's surname is Zhao, and his name is Zheng.

Unifying the six kingdoms in the future truly put an end to the fragmented China's first emperor, Shi Huang.

At this time, he was just a child who was only eight or nine years old. In the precarious life of a proton, he matured prematurely and fell into the turmoil of adults prematurely.

His ideas are practical to simple to excessive.

live, live.

If possible, I also want to protect my mother and those close to me.

Although my mother may not love myself.

But still a mother.

Zhao Zheng's choice was not beyond Ying An's expectations.

"Have you ever been bullied? Ah Zheng."

"The experience of having something you love in your hand, but being robbed by others."

Zhao Zheng clenched his little hands tightly, and his tight little face was full of humiliating anger.

Presumably, as a low-status proton, his life is bound to be uneven.

If not, even if he is a proton, he would not have such a desire for the power of self-protection at this age.

"is it okay?"

Raising his head, Zhao Zheng asked again.

"Let's not talk about Ah Zheng, whether you have anything to exchange for, how do you want to solve the problem of a child passing through the market with a thousand pieces of gold?"

Fortunately, what Ying An faced was a precocious child. He saw all kinds of incredible things, and thought that this place might be the place that could change his life. If it was an ordinary child of this age, he would have been thrown away by such an answer. With his expression gone, there is no need to talk nonsense with Ying An.

"...When I have strength, they won't dare to bully me and rob me of things."

It's not that he fully understood Ying An's meaning, but the child still used his own logic to give his own answer.

"As for the exchange, can I use Mother's jade pendant?"

"We don't accept physical objects here."

Concubine Yu poured Zhao Zheng a glass of juice and added the rules of the pawn shop.

"Of course, there are exceptions." Ying An, who was half lying on the sofa, hooked his fingers, and a cowhide bound book fell into his hands.

"This is the "De Jing" and "Tao Jing" hand-copied by Li Er when he came here as a guest when he left Hangu Pass. Although I gave him the carrier, the knowledge in it is his wealth, so it is also Count in the category of exchange."

"Mr. Old Dan?" Although Zhao Zheng was only a child, his education made him aware of the weight of this name.Taoism, Confucianism, Mohism, and Legalism can be regarded as far-reaching theories in the Warring States Period.What Zhao Zheng didn't expect was that even the master of Taoism had ever been to this shop?

He looked enviously at the book which was different from the bamboo slips he was used to, and there were many clear big characters in seal script on it.

"Sir, can I ask what Mr. Lao Dan exchanged?"

"It's not a secret, but in our store, information is also exchanged at the same price. The price of other customers' information is not cheap."

Ying An tactfully declined the boy's act of satisfying his curiosity.

In fact, what Li Er exchanged was really not a particularly rare item.

It's just a map.

"..."

Zhao Zheng sighed regretfully, but said nothing more.

But after all, he is a child, even the future emperor of the ages, his mind is not mature enough to take advantage of this kind of transaction, and the disappointment on his face is still palpable.

"Let me ask you another question, Ah Zheng."

Ying An pondered for a moment, "If you gain strength and face those who bullied you, what will you do?"

"Well... beat them."

Zhao Zheng replied very honestly.

"and then?"

"Then tell them that if they bully me again in the future, they will beat them again."

"Are you going to report your complaint directly?" Ying An's expression didn't change much: "Then will you treat them the way they treated you in the past?"

"..."

The child didn't expect that Ying An would ask this question, his eyebrows were raised, and he seemed to be extremely conflicted.After a long silence, Zhao Zheng muttered in words that didn't fit his style.

"do not know."

"I want to do it. But it doesn't feel right."

"If they are wrong, then I, who imitated them, should also be wrong."

"It's really good." Ying An clapped his hands lightly: "Ah Zheng, you have the heart of a strong man. However, this is not enough..."

"Have you ever considered why they bullied you?"

"...I am from Qin. They don't like Qin people."

"What is the reason, Ah Zheng, do you know it?"

Zhao Zheng shook his head depressedly.

Ying An said in a flat tone: "There was a big battle between Qin and Zhao called the Battle of Changping."

"This, I seem to have heard."

"However, do you know the result?" Ying An asked back.

"They didn't let me know."

Ying An didn't know who they were in the child's mouth, but this did not hinder his next words.

"Forty thousand."

Ying An raised four fingers and announced a number.

"This is the approximate number of Zhao Jun who were killed and buried alive."

Zhao Zheng was speechless. In his little head, he couldn't imagine what kind of number [-] was.

There must be more people than the courtyard he stayed in, or the street he stayed in.

"How many parents have lost their children, how many wives have lost their husbands, how many children have lost their fathers."

"I won't say that Zhao Jun is just, nor will I accuse Qin Jun of tyranny, because this is war. But people are creatures that can vent their anger. They are influenced by their parents, and their attitude towards you will naturally be even worse."

"Everyone aspires to be strong, and then they can trample and ravage the weak. This is this hopeless era."

"I don't understand . . . but is it a mistake to fight?"

"The destiny belongs to, people's hearts are attached to, and there are many ways to help. For example, your ancestor Cheng Tang defeated Xia Jie and accomplished his merits in one battle. This kind of war is a positive force that promotes history."

"If...the war decreases, will everyone be able to get along well?"

The child asked with his own determination.

"No, even so, human strife will not be avoided, but it will be limited to individuals, not between countries."

"Then... I want to be strong."
