Chapter 329: Being a dog is not the same as being a dog
Are you afraid of being found by the barbarians?
After hearing this, Chen Xiaodao was so shocked and disappointed.
"Didn't I just tell you? All my brothers are dead! All my fellow villagers are dead! What's the matter? Your first reaction after hearing these words is just to be afraid of attracting the barbarians?"
He had a cold face and questioned Yao Xiao directly, his eyes seemed to be spitting fire.
What I didn't expect was...
It’s fine if Yao Xiao doesn’t talk, but once he starts talking, he poops a big shit!
"Brother! Anyone eating here, any citizen of Ji'an County, has had this experience."
Chen Xiaodao: “…”
As expected, there were quite a few people watching, pointing and talking, and Yao Xiao's words completely brought back sad memories for the ordinary people!
Yes! Who hasn’t experienced the pain of losing fellow villagers and brothers?
Living in this fucked up chaotic world, either because of natural disasters or man-made calamities, fellow villagers, parents, brothers and sisters starved to death, or after the barbarians took over...
Either they were killed by them, or they were slaughtered in order to grab land and turn it into "no man's land".
Even in the county town of Ji'an at that time, the county magistrate, because of his "loyalty to duty", organized the local militia to fight desperately after the barbarians came.
This resulted in heavy losses for the barbarians during the siege. In order to capture the city as quickly as possible, the barbarian general issued an order: "The first person to reach the city will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver, and the swords will not be laid down for three days after the city is captured!"
With such encouragement, all the soldiers were like being injected with chicken blood, and they really broke through the Ji'an County that day.
What happened next was naturally a painful experience for everyone!
The swords were not put down for three days. How many people lost their loved ones in that catastrophe? Many people would never see the sun again after three days.
But so what?
After three days, the barbarians were still barbarians, and the villagers were still villagers.
They are still human beings, and they still have to live!
It's not possible that because of this incident, everyone will die and either commit mass suicide or resist the barbarians, right?
Don’t be ridiculous! Those who can do the former are cowards, and those who can do the latter are heroes!
But it is obvious that most people have neither the courage to die nor the courage to take up arms to fight.
More and more people are still trying to survive, as long as they have something to eat, no matter who is in power, no matter how much oppression they receive, or how many of their relatives are killed.
As long as they are given a chance to live, they will forget everything and become obedient citizens.
Having said that, the reality is actually very obvious.
Chen Xiaodao is a "brave man". He dares to lead people to seize the mountain and dares to take up weapons to fight against the barbarians.
But Yao Xiao! After he became the owner of the "Yue Lai Inn", the people of Ji'an who came and went around him, as well as this worldly life, made him corrupt! He fell!
But how can you blame him?
He just chose an ordinary life that ordinary people want to live!
He was tired of fighting and killing. He didn't want to go back to Liangshan to be a bandit, and he didn't dare to take up arms to fight the barbarians again.
Chen Xiaodao was so angry!
He reached out and grabbed Yao Xiao's collar, his eyes red as he yelled, "How...how did you become like this? I thought you were just corrupted, but I didn't expect you'd also lost your courage. What? You've lost the courage to seek revenge, have you even lost the courage to be a human being?"
But what was unexpected was that this was the first time Yao Xiao got angry and the first time he didn't care whether he was his elder brother or not.
He broke free from Chen Xiaodao and pushed hard, and his brother staggered a few steps and hit the table behind him.
Chen Xiaodao leaned on the table behind him, staring at Yao Xiao with wide eyes in disbelief.
He actually fought with her? She actually pushed him away?
Since Yao Xiao has done it, what else does he care about?
Secondly, it was because he was the boss before, and he had a lot of people under him, and he might have the support of the King of Qin behind him.
In this way, he will still be afraid and mistakenly believe that he is righteous and loyal.
But after Chen Xiaodao lost everything, he found that he was not loyal and had no loyalty.
To put it bluntly, what he thought was righteousness and loyalty was just fear! He was worried about the Liangshan behind Chen Xiaodao, and the Qin Wang Li Jize behind Liangshan.
but now?
Liangshan is gone! Where were Li Jize and his Qin army when Liangshan was surrounded and suppressed?
All these things are saying what bullshit big brother? What bullshit boss, he is just a waste that Li Jize used as a pawn in the early stage and abandoned in the later stage.
Since I have no one to lean on, why should I still fear him? Why should I still be loyal to him?
"I'm not a human anymore? I'm a dog?"
Yao Xiao pointed at himself with a mad look on his face, then laughed heartily, "Chen Xiaodao, you still can't see the bigger picture! The barbarians are the new masters of Shenzhou, they are the owners of this land! In the face of the rolling wheel of history, the personal strength of you and me is like a mayfly trying to shake a tree! You say I'm a dog? So what? Being a dog for Da Qi is still a dog, being a dog for Li Jize is still a dog, either way I'm going to be a dog! Why not find a master with a thick thigh and some meat and bones?"
What the hell?
Yao Xiao actually admitted it generously, I just want to be a dog for the barbarians! Anyway, I still have to be a dog for Li Jize!
But what did the barbarians give? What did Li Jize give?
Where was the Qin army when Liangshan was destroyed?
Although it's unpleasant to hear, and even a bit disgusting, but putting aside the national interests...
What Yao Xiao said is absolutely right!
If there were no time traveler Li Jize, everything would have been crushed to pieces by the rolling wheels of history.
Even if Li Jize was a time traveler, and he traveled through time to become an ordinary person, he wouldn't have the status of a prince...
Maybe the ending would be another one!
You don’t even have enough food to eat, and you still want to change history?
Either you encounter a natural disaster, or you encounter the Qi army that borrows the heads of fellow villagers, or you encounter the rebel army, or you encounter the barbarians.
In short, ordinary people have to survive in such a chaotic world...
Maybe being a dog is the best choice!
Of course, it is just one of the options, not necessarily the only one.
If future generations choose this path, who will resist the little bastards? Will there be a future for the nation?
Chen Xiaodao was furious and was about to retort to Yao Xiao, but Zhang Kui had already lost patience and jumped out first, pulling out a knife.
Before, he had vouched for his "sworn brother" in front of everyone, but now his face was swollen from being beaten.
"I'm going to kill you, you idiot!"
