Li Zheng returned to the Acropolis from Ruyun Mountain, but he was distraught at the moment, and he didn't want to go back to see Xia Ke and Lu Zhen and the others, so he wandered around the streets by himself.One-third of the land of Nanshan Country was occupied by wild beasts, and one-third was abandoned because of the invasion of Jingguo's army, and the population of the entire Nanshan Country was all crowded in the middle, and all the cities in the central part were overcrowded, and the Acropolis was no exception.Li Zheng used to only care about big things, and never paid attention to the small things of people's livelihood, but now walking on the streets makes him realize how hard the lives of ordinary people are.Because of overcrowding, the house is not enough to live in, many houses are separated by partitions, and in a small cubicle two zhang square, more than ten people can be stuffed in, in addition to people, they also have to put cooking utensils, do small business belongings, and stuff a small cubicle to the brim, and the door cannot be closed.Many children on the street are yellow-faced and thin-skinned, obviously unable to eat enough, malnourished, following behind adults, walking weakly, seeing all kinds of food on the stall next to them, unable to take a step.War requires not only the army, but also all kinds of money, food and materials, and the money, food and materials needed need to be supplied by ordinary people.All of them were supplied for the war, and of course there was less left of the common people.Fortunately, the war has not been going on for a long time, and the people are barely able to survive despite their difficulties.If it continues, many people will starve to death, if not in the war."
Xiaoliang, what are you doing here, kid?
Come on!
”A middle-aged woman walking in front of her, suddenly felt that the person around her was gone, looked back, and saw the child lying in front of the bun shop, looking at the steaming big bun in the cage, Ha Lazi direct."
Mom......
I, I want to eat. ”The child muttered."
What to eat?
Go home!
I'm going to eat it for you!
”The middle-aged woman reprimanded.Seeing this, the owner of the steamed bun shop said with a smile: "The child looks hungry, so I will buy him two to eat, it won't cost a few dollars!"
”The middle-aged woman was stunned for a moment, touched her pocket, and smiled awkwardly: "I'm sorry, boss." ”Then grab the child's arm and drag it forward."
Mom, I'm ......hungry," the child grabbed the shelf for the buns and refused to let go.Seeing that if she pulled it again, the bun rack was going to be pulled apart, and the middle-aged woman didn't dare to pull it anymore, glared at the child, and gave the child a mouth, and the child's face immediately showed red palm prints."
What to eat?
What's so delicious?
Just know how to eat!
”Seeing this, Li Zheng couldn't bear it, and was about to step forward to buy a few buns for the children to eat.At this time, I saw the owner of the steamed bun shop take out two steamed buns, handed them to the child, touched the child's head, and said with a kind face: "Eat, don't be hungry!"
”Seeing this scene, Li Zheng stopped and thought to himself, the owner of this steamed bun shop is a good person.When the middle-aged woman saw the child take the bun, she stretched out her hand and wanted to snatch the bun over, but she knew that the child was clever, and she had already bitten the two buns open.The middle-aged woman was helpless, her outstretched arm hung down weakly, and she whispered to the owner of the bun shop: "I, I don't have any money for you." ”The owner of the bun shop grabbed the middle-aged woman's arm and said with a smile: "Big sister, I don't want money." ”The middle-aged woman's face turned red, and she struggled to break free: "Big brother, I'll pay you back the money for this bun tomorrow." ”The owner of the bun shop didn't force it, let go of his hand, and said with a smile: "Big sister, you think it's bad, I'm not that kind of person, I'm a little busy here, if the big sister is willing to stay and help me for a while, this bit of silver will be used as the eldest brother's remuneration for the eldest sister." ”As he spoke, he took out a little bit of loose silver from his pocket.Looking at the scattered silver in the hands of the owner of the bun shop, although it was not much, the middle-aged woman could no longer take her eyes off, hesitated for a moment, and nodded slightly.The owner of the bun shop was overjoyed, patted the middle-aged woman lightly, and said, "Then it's hard work!"
”was slapped by the owner of the steamed bun shop, the middle-aged woman blushed, but she didn't say anything more, and followed the owner of the steamed bun shop inside......
The bun shop is not big, and you can clearly see the scene inside from the outside, but I am not afraid of any misdeeds from the owner of the bun shop, but it is inevitable to take a small advantage.glanced at the child sitting at the door of the steamed bun shop, holding a steamed bun and eating sweetly, Li Zhengyao nodded and continued to walk forward."
Uncle, come often!""
Oh, little handsome guy, can you get comfortable inside?"
In the middle of the line, Li Zheng suddenly felt a burst of fragrant wind on the surface, and then he felt a ball of fragrant soft bump into his arms, and when he looked up, he saw a face with heavy makeup, and a thick layer of puff on his face fell down.The people's lives are not good, and even the business of the Qinglou is much worse, and many girls dress up to attract customers.Li Zheng smiled: "If I don't have money, and you are willing, then I will go in with you." ”"Cut!
I don't have any money and pretend to be five people and six people!
”The girl glanced at Li Zheng with disdain, and went to solicit other guests.This time, the girl's luck seemed to be good, and although the old man in front of him was fat, as if he was ten months pregnant, he wore gold and silver, and looked like a rich man."
Oh, uncle, let's go in and have fun!"
The girl pounced.And when a silver ingot appeared in the old man's hand, the girl's eyes began to glow.The old man pushed her away, rubbed the shoes on the ground for a long time, rubbed the uppers of the shoes with dirt, and then said: "Lick it clean for me, this silver is yours!"
”The girl hesitated, lowered her head and was about to lick the old man's shoes, when suddenly a child hugged her from behind: "Sister don't ......"
Hearing the voice behind her, the girl was ashamed and stunned for a while, and finally spoke: "Xiaozhen, why did you come here!"
You don't know if you can't run around sick?
”The old man said impatiently: "Do you still want to do this business, if you don't do it, I'll leave!"
”"Yes, yes!"
The girl ignored the child behind her and lay on the upper of the old man's shoes.Seeing this, the child behind him sat down weakly and began to cry silently.Li Zheng shook his head and walked forward again.In front, a large number of people were around, and it seemed to be acrobatics inside, Li Zheng gathered into the crowd and looked inside, but saw a middle-aged man leaning around, his hands raised high, and panting in a circle around the field, as if he was learning from some animal.A child next to him shouted weakly: "Uncles and grandmothers, poor and pitiful, give you a meal money." ”A dissatisfied voice sounded in the crowd: "What is this learning, it doesn't look like it at all, and you still want money?"
”One said: "Learn a dog to crawl and show it to everyone!"
I'll give one first, if he doesn't learn, or doesn't learn well, don't throw money into it. ”"Peng" sounded, and a copper plate fell on the plate in the middle of the field.The middle-aged man who was circling around the scene shook his body when he heard the sound, hesitated for a while, and finally knelt on the ground, pouted his buttocks high, and slowly crawled forward."
It's not like learning, don't give money, everyone!
If you want to learn how to be a dog, you have to bark at least twice!
”The man who had thrown the copper plate spoke again."
Wang, Wang, Wang!"
The middle-aged man in the field really barked, and while barking, he stretched out his long tongue, and really looked like a dog."
That's pretty much it!"
The crowd of onlookers burst into laughter."
Puffy Puff!"
Several copper plates fell into the plate.The middle-aged man stretched out his long tongue and screamed twice from time to time, but there was a hint of a smile on his face."
The dog is crawling on the ground, and no one goes over to kick it, so it's a little unreasonable!"
As he spoke, he kicked the middle-aged man's high pouting buttocks, and the unsuspecting middle-aged man was kicked and shit-eaten, and the onlookers were amused, and some copper plates fell into the plate."

I didn't kick it in vain!"
The man asked with a laugh as he threw a few copper plates into the plate.The middle-aged man got up from the ground, saw that there were many more copper plates on the plate, a flattering smile appeared on his face, and he waved at the man who kicked him: "Thank you, uncle, thank you!"
”"I kicked you, and you have to thank me, more and more like a dog!"
The man laughed and dropped a few more copper plates.The onlookers were also very amused, and a few more copper plates fell into the plates.Li Zheng couldn't bear to look at it anymore, threw down a bit of broken silver, and squeezed out of the crowd.Along the way, all kinds of things have seen and heard, which makes Li Zhengda feel that life is not easy.Li Zheng thinks back to his life, since he was a child, he has been well taken care of by his family, and he never needs to think about anything.Although it is difficult for him to awaken his talent all the time, he never needs to give up his dignity for the sake of life and do what he is not willing to do.Since he was a child, he has lived in his own world, and every time his dignity is touched slightly, he will feel greatly hurt.And from Zhuyun Mountain, his heart began to change, no longer as cowardly as before, but became jumpy, but the self in his bones still did not change at all.He also thought about others, Xia Jian, and his family, but it was all based on the premise that it did not endanger his dignity.For a long time, he felt that dignity and self were the greatest, and if he lost dignity and self, life would no longer have any meaning.What I saw and heard today taught Li Zheng a very good lesson.Can a middle-aged woman who let the owner of the bun shop take advantage of her children for the sake of her children?
For the sake of her brother's illness, the Qinglou woman who is willing to lick and eat the upper of the old man's shoes, can she be said to have no dignity?
Can a middle-aged man who would rather learn to crawl on the ground for a living?
If given a choice, would they be willing to do so?
It's hard to do both, there must be a trade-off!
What is dignity, what is no dignity, and what is dignity?
Li Zheng remembered the "two sides of one body" that he had realized before, and secretly said in his heart: The lack of dignity in front of people does not mean that there is really no dignity, as long as the dignity in his heart is not lost, even if he learns to climb on the ground, he is still a man who stands up to the sky!
At this moment, Li Zheng already had an idea in his heart, it was difficult to do both, and now in this situation, it was time to get out of his own world, throw away that ridiculous self and dignity, and do something for others.
