Chapter 821 Do What I Can Do Now

Shopkeeper Nong was a very extravagant person. He had just finished digging out the manure when he turned around and prepared some wine and meat to entertain Wang Yunxiao.

Although he had taken a shower and changed clothes, Wang Yunxiao could still smell something with his sensitive sense of smell.

I had no appetite at all and wanted to leave immediately.

Unexpectedly, he was held tightly by Shopkeeper Nong, who said a lot of nice things to him and insisted on making friends with him, his friend in the underworld.

This made Wang Yunxiao very helpless.

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. No matter what, the other party provided Helan with shelter for a period of time, and he couldn't deny it.

He couldn't refuse, so he sat down and asked, "Does Shopkeeper Nong need any favors from you?"

"That's not the case, Young Master Wang, please don't misunderstand me!"

Shopkeeper Nong waved his hands and said with a smile: "I am mainly curious about your family. Miss He has committed such a big crime. I don't know how many people are asking around. What is the origin of this Swallow Sect? If it is convenient for you, could you explain it to us?"

What's there to explain? You wouldn't understand even if I explained it.

Wang Yunxiao pondered for a moment and asked tentatively: "Manager Nong, can you understand the concept of time?"

Shopkeeper Nong was surprised and asked, "Are you talking about the differences between Western industrial civilization and domestic agricultural civilization?"

Damn, this shopkeeper has something up his sleeve.

Wang Yunxiao suppressed his surprise and nodded, "You are not wrong to understand it this way. There are no outsiders here. I will tell you the truth. We are not from this era."

"Huh? Oh..."

Shopkeeper Nong was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and looked at Huo Dali. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Young man, are you saying that you and Miss He traveled back from the future?"

Wang Yunxiao: "???"

No...Brother, do you accept this explanation so easily?
I don’t even know how to say it, you just understand?
Shopkeeper Nong smiled and said, "I see that you have a handsome appearance and extraordinary temperament, and your style of doing things is very different from that of modern Chinese people. Over the years, I have met many Japanese and Southeast Asians, including overseas Chinese, but I have hardly seen a person as wonderful as you. After thinking about it, I still can't figure out your origins. Hearing you say this, it has solved my confusion."

Wang Yunxiao was puzzled and asked, "Can you understand the future travel?"

Shopkeeper Nong laughed and said, "It's not easy to understand, but I've read similar stories in novels."

"novel?"

"Yes, there was a best-selling popular novel on the market a few years ago. It tells the story of a person from this era who traveled through time to a hundred years later and found that there were tall buildings everywhere, our country also had warships and cannons, children could read and write three days after birth, and when they grew up they could put on two wings and fly..."

As the owner of a pharmacy that detoxifies people by forcing them to swallow feces and induce vomiting, do you usually read these messed up things?
Looking at the excited face of Shopkeeper Nong in front of him, a sentence popped up in Wang Yunxiao's mind involuntarily.

The fact that ancient people lived in ancient times does not mean that they had any intellectual problems.

But even so, this shopkeeper Nong's thinking is a bit too open.

This was not Wang Yunxiao's first day here, so he had some understanding of the local people's level of thinking.

It is not normal for him to be so open-minded. Recalling what happened just now, Huo Dali said that he did not look like a revolutionary...Have you ever seen a revolutionary? Do you know what a revolutionary looks like?
So Wang Yunxiao asked directly, "Is Shopkeeper Nong a revolutionary?"

Upon hearing this, the smile on Shopkeeper Nong's face froze, and Huo Dali, who was standing next to him, subconsciously clenched his fists.

However, the stalemate did not last long. Shopkeeper Nong only hesitated for a few seconds and nodded, saying, "Yes, although I have not joined the revolution, according to the court's standards for identifying revolutionaries, I am definitely a revolutionary. Since you said that you came from the future, please allow me to ask you a question: when will our revolution succeed?"

This question is really difficult to answer, because Manager Nong asked when, not whether.

If revolutionaries do not believe that the revolution can succeed, why would they participate in it?

So he just wanted to ask about the specific time.

Wang Yunxiao pondered for a moment and answered cautiously: "It has been successful in our time. As for when it will be successful, it depends on your own efforts. My teacher once told me that we should do well what we can do now, solve the problems we can solve now, and leave the future to future generations to build."

Shopkeeper Nong clapped his hands and laughed, "This is a wonderful remark. The respected teacher has great wisdom. He must be a learned scholar."

Wang Yunxiao shook his head and said, "Sir, if you want to discuss the way to govern the world with me, I can't explain it clearly. I wonder if you know Mr. Li Mingshen, the Chinese teacher at the Beiyang Western Learning School?"

Shopkeeper Nong's eyes lit up, and he nodded quickly, saying, "Professor Li is open-minded, knowledgeable, and famous. I have heard of him a long time ago. But I am just a merchant with a humble status, so I dare not visit him rashly, for fear of being laughed at."

"Professor Li, by chance, traveled to our time and brought back many books. He is now studying at home. If you want to learn how to save the country, you may come to him for advice."

Wang Yunxiao also considered whether to spread the news that Li Mingshen brought the book.

There are advantages to not saying anything. There is an old saying that goes, "If a ruler is not discreet, he will lose his ministers; if a minister is not discreet, he will lose himself; if a few things are not discreet, they will cause harm."

To put it bluntly, it is to hold a small meeting to accomplish a big thing. People's minds are complicated, and when there are too many people, nothing can be accomplished with too many mouths and too many chattering.

But another philosopher once said that if the route is wrong, the more knowledge one has, the more reactionary one becomes.

No matter how noble Li Mingshen's personal moral integrity was, he was, after all, a professor at the Beiyang School of Western Learning, and the students he taught were naturally of the Beiyang faction.

Can the knowledge brought back from another world really play its due value in the hands of him and his students?

Although they look similar, it can still be seen from certain historical differences that this is not the world line that Wang Yunxiao remembered before he traveled through time.

He cannot judge who is a good person, who is a bad person, who is more advanced, and who is more backward based on his own subjective impressions.

After careful consideration, he decided to reveal the news to Nong, the revolutionary. Although he could not control the series of butterfly reactions that followed, he did not dare to say that his choice was definitely correct.

But no matter what, it is more meaningful than simply killing a few traitors to vent your anger.

Do well what we can do now, solve the problems we can solve now, and leave the future to be built by future generations.

Wang Yunxiao chose to believe that in this world, in this era, there would also be countless people with lofty ideals who would spare no effort to save the nation and use their lives and souls to try to explore every possible path.

Believe in them.
