At night, the wind blew across the city sky. The flames were in the distance and burned into pieces.

The woman in black was standing on the high roof with her hands on her back, looking at all this coldly, and when the wind blew, she blew her clothes up. Except for her relatively soft round face, which slightly diluted her cold temperament, at first glance, she really felt like a goddess looking down at the world.

In the distance, there was a large area of ​​fighting on the city wall, and the rockets were thrown away and fell down like locusts in the night.

Scareful screams occasionally came, chaos spreading. Some people ran over the streets and some were pitch black and quiet. When did the dead bodies fall here, the lonely heads suddenly appeared in pools of blood and occasional flashes.

There were not many civilians running around in the streets and alleys near this courtyard. Shortly after the chaos, the army first controlled the situation and ordered everyone not to go out. Therefore, most civilians hid at home, digging cellars, and even hid underground, waiting to survive the sudden chaos. Of course, the more complicated reasons that could quiet the nearby area were not only this.

The person who was sending the message came occasionally, walked through the streets and alleys, and disappeared at the door. Since many things had been booked, the woman was not moved by it, but just watched everything in the city.

The fragile and precious peaceful scene in Zezhou has finally passed away. It is not an exaggeration to say that everything in front of you is a disaster. Every scream and scream that appears in the city may mean a life of upturn and a broken line. Every place where the fire light rises, there is an extremely miserable story. The woman just watched, and when another group of people came from afar, she jumped up from the building.

The light figure stepped on the protruding wooden beam in the middle of the house and threw herself towards her husband who was walking into the yard. The man reached out to pick her up. When the others entered the door, she had stood firmly on the ground and her eyes returned to cold. For the subordinates, Watermelon has always been majestic and cold, and everyone has always been "awe" with her. For example, Fang Shuchang and others who came in later were always submissive when Watermelon ordered, but the warm feelings in her heart - well, that's not easy to say.

Seeing some ashes on her husband and other subordinates’ hands, she stood in the yard, paid attention to the number of people coming in with her light, and then spoke for a moment: “What’s wrong?”

"A street burned and happened to pass by, helping to save people. No one was injured, so don't worry."

"Yeah." Xigua looked unhappy, but she was over the age when she would say "I've never been worried about this little thing". Ning Yi smiled and said, "Have you had dinner?"

"Eat." Her words had already become gentle. Ning Yi nodded and pointed at Fang Shuchang and others on the side: "On the street where the fire was put out, there was a sauce meat shop. After saving his son, he didn't have a hurry. He snatched some meat and salt and vegetables jars. It tasted good, so he bought some. I'll have some late supper later." He said this, paused and asked again: "Will you get free later?"

Xigua said, "I'll do it."

Ning Yi smiled and said, "Let's go together."

Xigua nodded. Her cooking skills were not good, and she rarely ate with her subordinates, and it might have nothing to do with whether she could look down on others. Her father, Liu Dabiao, passed away too early, and the strong-willed girl took over the Zhuangzi early, and she was stubborn about many things: she learned to speak in her father's voice, and she learned to do things in the manner of an adult. As the owner of the manor, she should arrange the life of the old and young in the manor, and also ensure her majesty and superiority.

Many of the things in this were naturally supported by Liu Tiannan, but the girl’s concern for the people in the village was beyond doubt. In the magnitude and majesty of the little adult, others could see her sincere heart. Later, many rules were consciously maintained by everyone. Now women who have become biological children have broad vision, but these rules are still engraved in her heart and have not been changed.

The two have been together for a long time and have a deep understanding. Although Ning Yi did not ask about the situation in the city, since Xigua said she was free, it proved that everything was still in the scheduled procedure and would not be possible to turn the tables suddenly. He and Xigua returned to the room, and soon went upstairs, and talked to Xigua about the battle between Lin Zongwu and Shi Jin. As a result, Xigua must have known, but the process may not be necessary.

"... From the result, it seems that the monk's martial arts have reached a state of enlightenment. Compared with Zhou Tong at the time, he is probably better than that of Zhou Tong. He is probably the real number one in the world. Tsk..." Ning Yi praised and yearned for it, "It was so beautiful... Shi Jin, too, it was a pity."

Xigua looked calm: "Compared with Sister Lu, it may not be."

"How could I let Hongti fight him again? Hongti is a person with children, and those who care about him will have to be downgraded to a higher level in the end."

"You second-rate fool, how can you know the realm of a first-class master?" Xigua said to him, but smiled gently, "Sister Lu grew up fighting in the battlefield. The world is cruel. She knows the most, but ordinary people will hesitate, and Sister Lu will only be stronger."

"I remember that you always tied every time you played with her recently. Hongti told me that she had tried her best..."

Xigua's eyes had been narrowed into a line dangerously. She held it in a while, and finally raised her head and waved her fists a few times: "If you weren't my husband, I, I - I - I will kill you." Then she looked amused and crying: "I am also a first-class expert! But... Sister Lu is getting weaker and weaker in the face of people around her. If she fights for life, I am afraid of her."

If it were the watermelon that reunited with Ning Yi in Xiaocanghe, she would probably have fought Ning Yi with such a joke and took the opportunity to beat him up. At this time, she actually no longer took this joke seriously, and it would be a joke to deal with it. After a while, the chef below had already started to make midnight snacks - after all, many people would not sleep all night - the two of them had a small fire on the rooftop, preparing to make two bowls of pickled vegetables, sauce, and diced fried rice. They talked occasionally in the busy intervals. The chaos in the city changed in such a situation. After a while, watermelon stood by the earthen building and tiptoed to look at it: "The West Granary has been taken."

"The food may not be as much as expected. Lou Shuwan will have a headache, and people will die here."

"Zezhou is a big city, no matter who takes over, it will stabilize. However, there is not enough food in the Central Plains and can only fight. The problem is that it will attack Li Xizhi or Liu Yu."

"The Jin King's territory and Wang Juyun join forces, and the possibility of fighting Li Xizhi is greater. In this way, Zhu Biao can take the opportunity to do something. Wang Shanyue and Hu Sanniang may not miss this opportunity. If the Jurchens were not very active, Yue Fei would not miss the opportunity, and there would be wars in the south. Alas, Tian Hu, sacrifice one of him to benefit the people of the world."

"...It has made the world suffer." Xigua said.

"Yes." Ning Yi smiled slightly, but there was bitterness on his face. Xigua frowned and enlightened, "That's also the suffering they have to suffer. What else can I do? It's better to be earlier than later."

"Yeah." Ning Yi nodded more and more, and Xigua comforted her a few more words. The woman's heart was not strong, but if the people around her were depressed, she would be truly strong.

The couple leaned on each other in this way. Xigua actually understood in her heart. After saying a few words, Ning Yi handed over the fried rice. She said: "I heard that you and Fang Chengye told the truth that the world was unkind."

The two sat down on the half-wall on the edge of the earthen building, and Ning Yi nodded: "Ordinary people seeking right and wrong is essentially a shirk responsibility. Fang Chengye has begun to dominate the actions of the whole place, so he can tell him this."

"After Tang Minjie's affairs, you said it very carefully."

These are all chats, and there is no need to be serious. Ning Yi ate two bites of fried rice and looked away before speaking: "Existentialism itself... is a truth used for pragmatic exploration, but it hurts a lot. For many people, once they truly understand it, it is easy to lead to a collapse of their outlook on life. Originally, this should be a field that people should contact after having a deep foundation, but we have no choice. Those who want to lead and decide things should not be naive. One person will die if he makes mistakes, and watch the big waves wash away the sand."

"Is this what you're thinking about recently?"

"After Tang Minjie's incident, I still reflected on it. When I realized those rules, it was also confused for a while. In this world, the first thing people come into contact with is always right and wrong, do what is right and avoid what is wrong..." Ning Yi sighed, "But in fact, there is no right or wrong in the world. If it is a small matter, people can still make a fuss, and if it is a big matter..."

He paused: "From ancient times, people have been looking for ways. Theoretically, if they have strong computing power, there is a possibility that they can find a way to create peace for all ages five thousand years ago. This possibility must exist in the world. But no one found it, Confucius did not, and later Confucian scholars did not, and you and I couldn't find it. You ask Confucius: Are you sure you are right? This question has no meaning at all. It's just to choose a suboptimal solution to do it. After doing it, you will bear the result, and all those who are wrong will be eliminated. In this concept, there is no right or wrong in everything, only the two points of clarifying the purpose and recognizing the rules are meaningful."

Ning Yi ate with watermelon in big mouthfuls, and he also ate it for a while.

"After realizing that there is no right or wrong, people can only spend several times more effort than usual, and several times more or even dozens of times more than usual to do things. Therefore, existentialism is suitable for leaders because it really makes people extremely afraid. Most people like to ask right or wrong, because once someone tells him what is right and he believes it, he will not think more about it. In fact, what is the truth of the world? Does the person who is talking about it understand? He is just summarizing experience. Therefore, right or wrong is a shirk of responsibility. If you plant a seedling, you can talk about right or wrong. The leader goes to war to earn his life. No experience is enough, so only talk about the rules and the purpose. Objectively recognize the rules and achieve the goal as much as possible."

"Does Tang Minjie understand this?"

"When he taught a large group of people, he was the most keenest. He first talked about right and wrong. He said that right and wrong might come from who he was. He said that after I understood, I said that this was a butt theory, and it was not very right. He was all wrong. Later, I told them about existentialism - the inhumanity of heaven and earth, and the principle of all things having spirits to do things. He might be the first to understand. Then, he loved his own people more, but except for his own people, nothing else was human."

"This means he still believes that..." Xigua smiled, "...what is the theory."

Ning Yi shook his head: "It's not the butt theory, it's the real injustice of heaven and earth. If this matter is intensively investigated, it's like this: If there is no right or wrong in the world, and the right or wrong now are the laws of human activities, then human beings themselves have no meaning. If you are a person for a lifetime, this thing is right and that thing is wrong. Living like this is meaningless. In fact, after a lifetime has passed, ten thousand years have passed, there will be no real thing to admit it, and your thoughts... If this thing is truly understood, all concepts from childhood to adulthood have to be rebuilt... And all things have spirits as the only breakthrough."

Ning Yi patted Xigua's mindful head: "Don't think too deeply... The meaning of all things having spirits is that human beings are in essence inclined, which is the tendency given by the world. To admit this, it is an unbreakable truth. No matter how evil or bad a person becomes, because of the environment, one day he feels about family love and love, he will still be addicted to it and do not want to leave. The robber who treats murder as a meal will also want to live well in the deepest part of his heart. People will speak slander, but the essence is still like this. Therefore, although the world only has objective laws, deducing it in the direction of evil is meaningless to us."

"One is the rule, the other is the purpose. Take goodness as the purpose. One day in the future, we will be truly satisfied. It is like we are sitting together now."

Ning Yi leaned against Xigua on his shoulder and laughed. Xigua also hit him: "But some people always want to be bad guys."

"Yes, but this is usually because of pain. Once you were not doing well and you were distorted. If this kind of person distorts himself, he can kill people and destroy the world. But even if he does it, the dissatisfaction in his heart will not be compensated for in essence, and it will be an incomplete state. Because satisfaction itself is positive..." Ning Yi smiled, "It's like a bad thing happening around him in a peaceful and prosperous era. Corrupt officials are rampant in wrongful cases. We feel uncomfortable, scold and angry. Many people will do things like bad people. Things will get worse and worse. We are only more angry after all. When the rules are operated, we will only become more unhappy. Why bother?"

"Then I will rebel!"

"Haha, yes, so we rebel because there is no other way except rebellion. If we don't rebel, it will only be worse." Ning Yi smiled for a while, "But what if we haven't reached that level yet. It may be meaningless to be a good person, or it may only have a little effect, but this is the only way. After recognizing the rules, try to push them hard, and only this direction is meaningful."

He looked at the burning city in front of him: "... Otherwise, who would have wanted to choose this result..."

Xigua was silent for a long time: "That Tang Minjie..."

"The unkindness of heaven and earth is backward compatible with all things. Even if all things have spirits, it will eventually drop a level compared to the absolute meaning of right and wrong. It is more like a helplessness for those who cannot understand it. Everything is just our exploration in this world. Everything is possible, and it is normal for all the people in the world to die in one go. The essence of this statement is too cold, so he is truly free and can do anything..."

Ning Yi sighed: "In an ideal situation, it is better to let people read more and get in touch with these things. Ordinary people believe in right or wrong. After all, it is too early to let them decide on pioneering events together. Tang Minjie... It's a pity."

He paused: "So I thought about it carefully and sent him to the Jin Kingdom."

The night is still long, and the light and shadows float in the city. The couple sat on the roof and watched all this, talking about cruel things. However, if this cruel world cannot understand everything about it, how can it really be better? The two of them walked over, bypassed Xixia, went to the northwest, and saw the real death land, and the poor people who were so hungry that they were only left with skeletons, but war came and the enemy came. How could all this change because of a person's kindness, anger, or even madness?

People can only look for the way carefully, and in order not to become madmen, they can only snuggle up to each other and support each other under such circumstances.

The night gradually became deeper, and the chaos in Zezhou City finally began to stabilize. The two of them snuggled up on the roof. After a while, Xigua muttered softly in the dark: "I originally thought that you would kill Lin Echan. I was a little worried about you going in person in the afternoon."

Ning Yi gently patted her shoulder: "He is a coward, but he is very powerful after all. In that case, if he takes the initiative to kill him, his chance of running away is too high, and it will still be very troublesome in the future."

After a while, he said, "I thought that if he really came to kill me, he would keep him at all costs. It would be a good thing if he didn't come... I'm afraid of death, it's not worth it for the time being, and I'm also afraid that he will die and replace him with Manichaeism."

The watermelon arched on his chest: "Well, Uncle Wang Yin."

"Uh...haha." Ning Yi laughed softly, was silent for a moment, muttering softly, "Oh, the best in the world... Actually, I am really envious..."

"Ning Yi." At some point, Xigua spoke in a low voice again, "When I was in Hangzhou, were you like that?"

"Um?"

"You understand everything, but you think there is no meaning in the world... That's why you married into a marriage."

"Uh...you just think...is almost the same."

He looked up at the deep night sky with only a few stars flashing, and remembered many things. It was a long time ago.

The sky was turning, and the night gradually passed. In the early morning, the water that was evaporated by the burning of the city turned into mist in the air. When the first wisp of fish belly was exposed in the sky, the white mist was floating. The ghost king and lion boy saw the legendary inner demon next to a ruin.
