Our Time: Unswerving until Death

Chapter 45 My Confession

This night, the autumn rain was still falling non-stop, the crabapple trees in the yard responded silently, Gouwa finally fell asleep peacefully, but He Qi, who woke up in the middle of the night, was covered in cold sweat and could no longer fall asleep.

Recalling what happened during the day, one after another, the blood, screams, and killings, made He Qi confused, and gave birth to a strong premonition that she might die unexpectedly, because she knew too much.

He Qi, who couldn't sleep anyway, simply dressed and got up, lit the lamp, stood in front of the window, smelled the indifference of the rainy night, listened to the beating of raindrops, and couldn't help recalling the bits and pieces of the past 20 days in her mind.

Dreamy yet realistic, unimaginable yet natural, when time came to an end, He Qi suddenly wanted to say something, but if he didn’t say it, there would be no chance, but Brother Xun and Qian Xuan had already gone home .

So, He Qi sat down at the desk, took out the red pen that Ruyi gave her, and began to write:
"My name is He Qi. I don't have characters. It's not that I didn't take them. It's just that we don't have the custom of taking characters at that time. You may be confused about this, but don't worry. Please read it patiently and you will understand."

"More than 20 days ago, when I was working overtime in the company, I suddenly felt tightness in my chest. I didn't care about it, because this phenomenon happens several times a month, and it usually clears up after a while."

"But it's different this time. Instead of getting better, my chest tightness became more and more serious. By the time I realized something was wrong, it was too late. The lack of oxygen made my limbs weak and I fell straight down on the work station."

"I thought I died suddenly, but the fact is not what I thought. When I woke up, I somehow appeared under the big tree in front of Yongding Gate, and I realized that I went back 100 years. In the period of the Republic of China."

"This kind of fantasy plot that only exists in novels, no one will believe it, but it is indeed staged in reality, and I am the one who experienced it firsthand."

"I was originally an ordinary person, living an ordinary life, wanting to spend the rest of my life in peace and stability, and then bring this secret into the coffin, just like a gust of wind blowing across the lake, causing layers of ripples, when the wind blows After that, the lake will soon return to calm."

"But there are two systems running in this world, one is called etiquette, righteousness, shame, loyalty, humility, which is taught in school, and its purpose is to make people docile and obedient; the other is called reality, which talks about the real laws of how this world operates. "

"I am a person who lives in the world built by the first system, but I met someone who adheres to the second system. Yesterday, I was accidentally involved in a case. It is very likely that I will not see the future of tomorrow." It's sun."

"A gust of wind blows across the lake, and it can still make ripples for a short time, but in this era, these days I have spent, I gradually have an alternative interpretation of the meaning of life. I know that all of you are real, It exists objectively, not imaginary, not virtual; you have flesh and blood, high-spirited, but elegiac, with no hope for your family and country.”

"In the past, I ran into you in a textbook, and wrote your whole life on a mere piece of thin paper. At that time, I couldn't empathize with you. It was only at this moment that I deeply empathized."

"Painful, aggrieved, bleak, confused, helpless, weak"

"But I want to tell you that you don't have to suffer, don't have to be frustrated, don't have to be gloomy, don't have to be confused, don't have to be helpless, and don't have to be weak, because the Huaxia you have been fighting for all your life has come true after more than 100 years."

"That's why I left this letter."

"I have been an ordinary Chinese youth since 2030. I have been full from snacks, warmly dressed, and have free books to read. Just like me, in China with a population of 14 billion, everyone can eat well and wear warmly. "

The red pen suddenly stopped writing, He Qi closed her eyes, leaned back on the chair, was silent for a while, then got up quickly, lit a match, and lit the letter.

In the silent room, the beating flames ate away at the letter and made He Qi's face red. When the ashes scattered all over the ground, the secret was buried in the soil along with the autumn rain, a butterfly that has entered time and space. , the current thing to do is to tighten the wings, not fan them.

The waiting time was excruciating. He Qi went back to the bed and sat there. Gradually, the autumn rain outside the house stopped, and the morning light showed her face. Except for the muddy ground telling people that it rained last night, life continued.

At some point, He Qi fell asleep in a daze, until she was woken up by Qian Xuan's loud voice, only to find that the outside of the house was already bright, sparse water droplets fell from the eaves, and a silly picture gradually appeared on the window. The face is Gouwa.

Qian Xuanxing rushed into the bedroom, sat down on the edge of the bed, threw some newspapers to He Qi without any reason, and cursed heavily, "Damn it, it turned out to be Dongyi!" People make a fool of themselves."

He complained again: "You are really unkind. You knew about it a long time ago, and you still kept it from Yucai and me. I waited for you for so long last night. I didn't worry about it for nothing. I was still hungry and uncomfortable."

He Qi was not in the mood to speak, sat on the bed, opened the "Beijing News", and an explosive news "Who is behind the church case?" was published on the front page. "

"Quoting insiders, the mastermind behind the church case in Faguo yesterday is suspected to be Ichiro Kawamoto from Dongyi. According to Mr. He Qi's confirmation, he was lured by human traffickers when he first arrived in Beijing, and this trafficker was the one who abducted children in the church case." , and during Mr. He Qi’s house arrest, he witnessed the contact between human traffickers and Ichiro Kawamoto.”

After reading the "Beijing News", He Qi read all the newspapers brought by Qian Xuan. All the articles published on the front page were basically consistent with the "Beijing News". barbarians.

What happened last night was published in the newspaper in the morning. Who has such great energy?
Who is this insider?
Obviously, it was Ju Zhang who revealed it.

He Qi secretly speculated that the reason why Lao Yuan did this was to divert the attention of the people so that he could continue his restoration plan, and secondly, to pull the Fa people into the water. With the strong intervention of the Fa people, when facing the Dongyi people, the pressure would be greater. much smaller.

Suddenly, He Qi realized that she seemed to be alive.

Ju Zhang stabbed this matter in the newspaper, and now everyone knows that He Qi is an eyewitness, so on the bright side, Ju Chang dare not touch He Qi, but should protect him well. Dare, if He Qi is assassinated, there will be no silver 300 taels here.

I'm afraid that Ju Chang will come to plant a frame and set the blame on him, and he will be He Qi secretly. Then the first thing everyone suspects is that the Dongyi people did it, and thus it is confirmed that the Dongyi people planned the church case in disguise.

Will Juchang do it?
Thinking of this, He Qi suddenly remembered a limerick written by Ju Changyin before leaving last night: "The big snow is white in the black, and the black is the big snow in white. If you want to ask black and white, who can tell?" .

Qian Xuan stared blankly at the uncertain He Qi, and asked himself: "What's wrong with you? When you came back last night, you were listless, and you didn't even ask me. Did the torture go bad?"

"It's okay, I probably caught a cold in the rain." He Qi shook her head and said, quickly lifted the quilt and got up.

"Tell me, why do Dongyi people do this?" Qian Xuan asked again.

He Qi really couldn't stand this nonsense, so without thinking much, she said, "Stop Lao Yuan from becoming the emperor."

Qian Xuan stood up and immediately vetoed: "Impossible." He found a newspaper from the past few days, pointed to an article and said, "This is an article published by He Changxiong from Dongyi, advocating the imperial system. A well-known jurist who is internationally renowned."

The title of this article is "On the Three Requirements of a New State". It roughly means that the reason why Dongyi became prosperous and strong quickly is because it adopted the monarch constitution.

He Qi squinted and said: "You have to look at it the other way around, he is not advocating, but reminding Dongyi people not to let Huaxia Junxian."

"So, Dongyi people think Junxian is better than Gonghe?" Qian Xuan murmured.

"Fish in the sea cannot live in fresh water, and Junxian will never succeed in China." He Qi said with certainty, because from the experience of later generations, Junxian's road is a dead end. The soil that survives in China.

"Why?" Qian Xuan asked in a daze.

"Strive to continue updating at night! "
