Chapter 373: Sigh the world
The old woman seemed to have known that Douhua'er had woken up, and she didn't even look back: "The cake is for you, let's eat it."
After getting this sentence, Douhuaer quickly snatched the half of the cake and started eating it voraciously. She ate too fast that she choked and rolled her eyes.
So she pounded her chest desperately and finally swallowed the cake in her mouth, she stretched a little.
At this time, the old woman had turned around, holding a bowl of steaming wild vegetable and millet porridge in her hand. Looking at the tomatoes that were eating voraciously, she couldn't help but shake her head and sigh: "Eat slowly, no one will compete with you. Girl, you are lucky. I thought you were a boy and saved you. If I had known that you were a girl, I should have left you there."
She said that she was so calm, so calm that she was natural. Douhua'er had seen many such people who regarded boys as treasures in her hand. But she turned a blind eye to girls. It seemed that girls were born to be even more despicable than them.
Half of Douhua's cake quickly entered her stomach. She didn't feel hungry or not. Her stomach had lost consciousness. Until, when the old woman brought the rice porridge to her, the fragrance activated her taste buds again.
This time, Douhua did not swallow her wildly. First, the porridge was too hot, and then she took the porridge and said to the old woman: "Thank you."
The old woman looked at her, and there seemed to be a kind smile in her eyes: "Come from Beijing? I'm in trouble at home. Girl, you're very kind, drink it."
Her accent can't deceive people, and she is right to suffer. But why did she say she is kind? Douhuaer took the porridge and her eyes dodged.
The old woman smiled, and she seemed to see Douhuaer's doubts: "You are so hungry that you don't even come to grab half of the cake from my hand. You are a kind girl. You deserve this bowl of porridge, so drink it."
Yes, hunger is everywhere and war is everywhere, and human nature is facing a great test. A hungry person will rob the food in his hands without hesitation when he sees the food in his hands. The bandits originated from this at the beginning.
Douhua'er didn't rob it, even if she starved to death. If others don't give her things, it would be useless for her to beg. She didn't want to deprive the survival of another person because of her own robbery. This is related to her dignity, which is what the old woman calls kindness.
Yes, Douhuaer may not be a good person, but she is a person with great kindness. Douhuaer didn't understand it before, but it was taught by Zhu Cilang.
His Highness the Crown Prince said: Douhuaer, remember, don’t be a weak and good person, but you must be a person who deserves your conscience. Good people are not suitable for this era, or even for any era. Being good people are bullied by others, and everything is the same. Kindness does not mean weakness, and your weakness will only make the other party worse.
Douhua'er didn't understand, she just felt that the prince knew so much, and his highness was so amazing.
Now Douhuaer understands, especially the saying that kindness does not mean weakness. I can be kind, but my kindness is not the reason why you think I am weak and can be bullied.
One person is called a robbery for his own selfish interests, and a group of people is a bandit. Not only Zhang Xianzhong, but also Li Zicheng, but it is like a crucian carp that crosses the river and is everywhere. However, the scale is large or small.
God seems to intend to continue to fight against the Ming Dynasty, and this year the surrounding area of the capital is still dry and rainy. People like Xiang Chongzhen and Zhu Cixuan can only start from the overall situation. What they can do is to keep the broken carriage of the Ming Dynasty and continue moving forward without falling apart.
These 10,000 people, are not Bodhisattvas, and cannot save everyone. The individual life can be ignored for the entire Ming Dynasty.
Just like Li Daiwen went to Shanxi and Henan to provide disaster relief, can he save every disaster victim? No, that is something that only gods can do. There are still countless disaster victims starving to death. What Li Daiwen can do is to save most of the disaster victims on the land of Shanxi and Henan, which is enough.
The porridge is very fragrant, which reminds Douhuaer of the same taste as her mother cooked millet porridge when she was a child. Although it was mixed with wild vegetables, it was sweeter than anything she had eaten in the palace.
After drinking a bowl, Douhuaer felt much more comfortable. She finally felt the beauty of the world and the beauty of living.
It’s great to live, no matter how hard it is, even if you lose everything, when hope appears again, you will still discover the beauty of the world.
But after Douhuaer drank a bowl of porridge, the old woman refused to give it to her again. Although Douhuaer felt that she could finish this pot, or even ten pots...
"Can't drink anymore. Those who have been hungry for a long time will be able to die of eating too much." The old woman took the thick bowl in Douhua'er's hand.
People who have been hungry for a long time can easily die of food, which often happens. This is because people who have been hungry for a long time will mobilize the body's stored fat energy and maintain the serum of life activities temporarily stabilizes. If you suddenly eat a lot of food, the glucose, amino acids, etc. in the blood will increase rapidly, stimulate the large amount of insulin release, stimulate the occurrence of anabolic metabolism in the body, and induce arrhythmia or even cardiac arrest and sudden cardiac death.
Of course, there is another possibility, which will cause acute expansion of his stomach. In severe cases, it will cause stomach rupture and directly lead to death. However, this probability is relatively small, and most of them will die from the former.
Experienced victims all knew that eating too much is easy to die of dying, and Douhuaer also knew that she had been hungry. So she didn't say anything else.
The old woman took the iron pot off the stove and served herself a bowl. She sat at the table with a dull look on her face, but she was not in a hurry to eat porridge. Instead, she was in a daze.
"Mother-in-law, what happened here? Did you meet a bandit?" Douhuaer asked carefully.
The old woman came back from her thoughts and sighed: "More than half a month ago, a group of hungry thieves came up from the town. They robbed people when they saw things, and killed them if they didn't give them anything. My family, the old man, son and daughter-in-law, were all dead, dead."
The evil of bandits is sometimes even more terrifying. These bandits who are in chaos are in groups of three or five, ranging from a dozen or hundreds. If Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are not bad, they at least have their own organization and their own discipline. In order to strengthen themselves, they will formulate their own rules. For example, if they do not steal the poor and do not deceive the people, they will win over the hearts of the people, and if there is anything that the poor have to rob, it is better to earn a good reputation.
But these small bandits will not be so particular. They can do anything about hunger and eat. So it is no problem to burn, kill, loot, and loot. However, most of the time, they usually only rob things and not kill people unless you resist.
