In front of the North Gate

Chapter 46 Extra Story 3: There Will Always Be (END)

"Shi Jichang, look!"

The day we left Pingcheng was sunny.

The sun shines straight down from above, causing everything to cast a brief shadow. In the colder winter, it also gives people the illusion of summer.

Shi Jichang was dragged to a stop by Lou Huaiyu, followed the direction he pointed, and saw Pingcheng in his field of vision.

Pingcheng is a basin, and the team has just left the city in a mighty way, and is heading to a higher place, so looking down at this time, the whole city can be seen at a glance.

Shi Jichang took a few glances, but didn't see any difference, so he asked him, "What are you looking at?"

Lou Huaiyu pointed to that place again and said, "The flag has been changed."

Shi Jichang knew it, he told him to look at the town government.

If the Fan Family Courtyard is the backyard of Pingcheng, the yamen left over from the previous dynasty can be counted as a temporary military and political base.

When the Japanese army was there, they lived in Fan's house on a daily basis, and they went to the Yamen to discuss some political affairs, which was considered as work.

It's just that Liang Sibo doesn't like this. He thinks that everyone lives there, so there's no need to engage in silly things. The yamen is not big, and it's a few streets away from the Fan's compound. It's better to work together in the Fan's compound. Set up a conference hall.

Therefore, they only temporarily sealed the yamen before, and did not make any changes.

At this moment, most of the troops had withdrawn from Pingcheng, leaving only a few people to actually move in.

It was probably today that they noticed a small red-dotted flag on the roof, which is the symbol of Japan.

"Do you know what kind of flag that fell down, and what kind of flag is upright?" Shi Jichang asked him.

Lou Huaiyu scoffed: "You look down on me again, I've learned it before."

"The one that fell down was the Japanese flag," he said triumphantly, "the one that rose up was ours! Isn't that right?"

Lou Huaiyu was still like a child begging for a reward from his teacher. When he answered correctly, he looked at him proudly and cutely, asking for some reward, which made Shi Jichang couldn't help laughing.

Lou Huaiyu was a little embarrassed by his smile: "Isn't that right?"

Shi Jichang touched him: "Yes."

right.The Japanese chess pieces in Pingcheng fell, and new chess pieces rose again.

Shi Jichang still remembers that when he first came to Pingcheng, he and Lou Huaiyu stayed in a small courtyard, and they could only see a blue sky when they looked up. okay?"

At that time, Shi Jichang seemed to understand the meaning of "good", but he didn't seem to understand.

And because of Xiaodong's visit at that time, that topic could not be continued.

After a few months, Shi Jichang recalled it again and asked Lou Huaiyu if he still remembered.

"I remember," Lou Huaiyu said, and told him, "and I still remember what I was thinking at the time. I was thinking about my childhood, when we were in charge, but life didn't seem to be much better."

"Yes." Shi Jichang nodded, and said honestly, "Actually, I don't know either."

When Lou Huaiyu rarely met Shi Jichang, he said he didn't know, and looked back at him curiously.

Shi Jichang just laughed: "Why?"

Lou Huaiyu said: "I always feel that you know everything, and I'm not used to hearing you say you don't know."

He asked again, "What don't you know?"

"I don't know if it will be fine if the Chinese manage it themselves," Shi Jichang said.

"But there is one thing," he added, "the future should be different from when you were a child. It should not be managed by a certain person or a group, but by everyone."

Lou Huaiyu understood it based on the few days of studying in the compound: "Is there no official?"

Shi Jichang said: "In the future, everyone will serve others and serve others at the same time. No one will control anyone, and no one will be superior to anyone else. The people themselves are officials. They control others and let others control them. Everyone can freely Speak up, and if you feel unfair, you can shout out, and you will no longer be oppressed by anyone."

"Then... it's okay to scold the emperor if you think it's not good for the emperor?"

Shi Jichang didn't remind him that there is no emperor in this land, he just said: "Yes."

Lou Huaiyu laughed: "How can there be such a day?"

The team was still marching forward, gradually bypassing the mountain, and Pingcheng could not be seen when looking back.

But the sun is still so strong, shining on people, making people feel warm visually.

Shi Jichang was among the crowd, he carried most of his clothes and held Lou Huaiyu's hand.

After walking for a long time, Shi Jichang spoke again, saying, "There will always be."

[November 2020, 11, about 20 years after Shi Jichang said there will always be, not yet, but there will always be. 】
