Longmen Memoirs

His figure is too thin, his face is pale, and his body is weak. Such a person will only be a drag on the battlefield.

"From now on, carry this sword on your back."

Watching the boy tie the scabbard strap behind his back, he gritted his teeth and his thin calves were trembling.

"Is it heavy?" Chen Mo asked deliberately.

"not heavy."

"It doesn't matter if you think the weight can be untied." Chen Mo said softly: "Two points, if you untie this sword, I will treat you as giving up. If you can't keep up with me, I will treat you as giving up."

He didn't speak, just gritted his teeth and carried the sword that was heavy to him without saying a word.

"You have quite a bit of backbone. How long can you last with this bit of backbone? Kid."

Chen Mo turned around and walked briskly. Behind him, the boy was walking with great difficulty, carrying a giant sword on his back.

"Mr. Chen, this child is..."

The Aurora team waiting at the gate of the camp saw Chen Mo coming over, but their eyes fell on the white-haired boy a few meters behind him. He was carrying a sword, his face was pale, and he was panting with sweat, as if he could collapse at any time. Down.

"A strong brat."

"Do you want to take him with you?"

"Take it with you, just to make him suffer a little bit." Chen Mo said. Under the strange looks of the Aurora team, Chen Mo, who was looking at Ino and the black wall behind him, didn't show any signs of strangeness at this sentence.

This child offended him, but it's not like...

They looked at each other, no one knew the answer, and no one knew this【}/

This land has never been kind to people regardless of whether they are young or old. The more people expect, the more difficult their lives will be.

Of course, if he couldn't hold on, it would be better for Chen Mo to keep his word than to be strong and unwilling to die on the battlefield just because of this.

Chapter 112 Meeting...Always Parting ([-])

The most taboo thing for people is to be a giant in thought and a dwarf in action.

------

"We should not regard any organization or individual as a belief, we should regard that great ideal as a belief, and we should regard a concept that everyone agrees on as a belief, so that our faith will not collapse because of the collapse of this organization and individual."

"Hmm...I quite like this sentence."

Tallulah held the copy written by Chen Mo, and she stomped around the room. Chen Mo just sat on the chair and looked back at her, watching her stop, but refused to leave the copy in his hand.

"Our ideals must be realized with our hands, seeking cognition in practice, seeking progress in cognition, and constantly reflecting on the process of progress. We need to go on our own, reject fantasy, and go into practice! Think more , before that, think more.”

Her gray eyes seemed to be shining with dazzling light, and the girl's back was straight, which was very much like the tenacity and unyielding hidden in her character.

"How did you come up with this?"

"Everyone can say nice things." Chen Mo replied. He put down the pen in his hand and stretched out his hand to Talulah: "I asked you whether it was time to return the manuscript to me. I was only halfway through writing it."

Tallulah was stunned for a moment. After Chen Mo promised that he would give it to her as soon as possible after he finished writing, she reluctantly returned the manuscript in her hand to Chen Mo.

"I can't wait to see what it will look like after you finish writing it?"

"I haven't thought of a name yet."

"It's time to think of a name."

"It's not too late to think about this after I finish writing." Chen Mo put the manuscript back on the table, as if he remembered something: "In recent years, a new theory has been derived from the civil war in Sakaz over Kazdare. Before Red set out, I asked him to bring some of it with him when he came back, I think you should use it."

Tallulah became interested.

"Is it the same as what you wrote?"

Chen Mo shook his head.

"What I wrote is nothing more than whining compared to what they said. That theory is based on the actual situation of Sakaz and the infected, and combines the reasons and history of Sakaz's civil war for many years, as well as the history of the civil war. In the later period, there was a change in the thinking of Sakaz civilians and various groups." Chen Mo said: "In short, he has a deep understanding of infected people and sociology, and it is based on reality. It has been tested and tested in Kazdaele. The mature concepts used are very different from those of the Sakaz and Ursas and the infected people, but they have a lot to offer us in terms of their views on the contradictions between the working class and society, as well as the self-identity and self-worth of the infected people. reference value and inspiration.”

Chen Mo said a lot. An ordinary infected person might not understand what she meant, but Tallulah was different. Tallulah quickly grasped the key point, that is, infected people and reality, and to a certain extent, it is consistent with infected people. Contradictions and relationships with the national structure.

That is Grai's concept, which is constantly revised amidst mistakes and based on reality. It is the fusion of Chen Mo's past cognition and Theresa's thoughts over the years, and among them, there are too many Theresa's thoughts over the years. Based on his experience and insights, what Chen Mo did was extremely limited.

There is no idea that can never go wrong and make everyone agree and be happy. Whether it is an idea or something else, it needs continuous progress, correction and reflection.

Time is the best tester.

"I'm looking forward to it."

"It's better not to expect too much." Chen Mo poured cold water on her without mercy: "The situation of Sakaz and Kazdel is special after all. Even if they are not infected, their situation is not much better than that of the infected. The methods they can use Trading with theory may not work in Ursus and other countries."

"That at least has reference value, which is many times better than trying to figure it out on our own."

Tallulah was not discouraged at all, but was looking forward to it even more. She didn't mind sitting down on Chen Mo's bed and setting her eyes on Chen Mo in front of her.

"Have you ever thought about the problems faced by infected people in Ursus?" Chen Mo asked.

Tallulah was a little confused, but then she seemed to understand something.

"I'm waiting for Teacher Chen to answer my questions? What lesson will you teach me today, Mr. Chen?"

She deliberately called out the name in the way soldiers were accustomed to calling Chen Mo. She put her hands in front of her in a polite manner, like a good student waiting for class.

"I heard from Alina that Ino has been with you these days and he hasn't gone to class much. Have you decided to teach him alone?"

"Do you think it's too early?" Chen Mo asked.

"No, on the contrary, it reassures me that Ino can be with you. After all, our situation is different from ordinary people. Children must also receive training. Even if they don't have to fight, they must learn to protect themselves. If you don't do it now It will be too late in the future, Alina has always said that it is useless for the child to just talk to him, he is different from Sasha, he likes to keep things in his heart. "

Tallulah said this, looking at Chen Mo with a different emotion in her eyes.

"Looking at it this way, it looks exactly like someone's childhood."

"The person you are talking about refers to me."

"I didn't say that."

"Xiaota, Xiaota, you used to say that Alina was bitter, and I think you are starting to follow suit." Chen Mo sighed, his words filled with helplessness.

"Are you angry?" Tallulah asked, but she didn't see any angry expression on Chen Mo's face.

She liked Chen Mo's appearance at this time, ordinary and ordinary, never making people think about his hidden secrets.

"How dare I."

"Okay, okay, then I apologize. I shouldn't have said that to you."

Chen Mo didn't see the slightest apology on her face, but there was no sincerity at all.

"You should be sincere."

"What does it mean to be sincere?" Tallulah asked deliberately.

Chen Mo didn't answer.

She stood up and walked to Chen Mo. Chen Mo probably knew what she was going to do, so she leaned down and touched the side of Chen Mo's face with her lips.

"It's kind of like coaxing a kid."

"There will be a meeting tomorrow morning, and neither you nor I can be absent." She said this, and the light above her head flickered briefly for a few seconds. Chen Mo didn't see the look in her eyes clearly until she stepped back a few seconds. Step back and sit on the bed again.

A slight blush appeared on Drake's cheeks, as if to indicate that she was not as calm as she appeared on the surface.

Chen Mo didn't tell her that the reason why he suddenly thought of writing these things down was for the girl in front of him. He would eventually leave, but the infected and Xiaota still had a long way to go.

When a person is no longer there, he will disappear, but the things he left behind are still there, those thoughts, those words, they can often live longer than the person. If someone remembers these things and passes them on from generation to generation, it will Never die.

Chen Mo didn't think so far, nor did he think it was that great. Just like Tallulah said, they didn't have much to refer to. At least now, no one here has really thought about it.

Chen Mo still felt a little lucky and regretful. These two complex and contradictory emotions appeared at the same time at this moment.

Even if there is no meeting tomorrow, even if they still have a long time tonight, when it comes to that step, neither Chen Mo nor Tallulah are ready for them.

Chen Mo didn't insist any more. Even though he knew in his heart that the girl in front of her might not refuse, Tallulah also knew that in fact, these things were not important to him or Chen Mo. Because they were not important, it didn't matter whether they had been prepared or not. .

The feelings and connection between them will not change whether they have had more intimate physical contact. That kind of contact will only deepen their feelings for each other, but it is not essential.

"If...I mean if..." Tallulah spoke again, intermittently, and she looked away from Chen Mo.

The words finally failed to come out of her mouth. This was not like Tallulah's temperament. She had always been more straightforward, but although she was rare like this, it didn't surprise anyone.

Chen Mo knew what he wanted to say, but Chen Mo would not make the same mistake as he did in Londinium again. Maybe it was a mistake, even if he later felt regretful and happy when he thought about it.

Even if Chen Mo himself couldn't tell later, if he had to do it all over again, would he make a different choice?

He is a lucky bastard. Fortunately, even as a bastard, he got two extremely precious loves at the same time. Unfortunately, Chen Mo felt that he was not worthy of their love.

Because love is mostly selfish, and he can't give happiness to anyone.

"I just mentioned the problems faced by infected people in Ursus. In my opinion, the most critical point is how the infected people recognize and distinguish their enemies and the current situation and awkward position of the infected people relative to Ursus. , only by recognizing these, can the infected find a way out in Ursus."

Chen Mo suddenly said that Tallulah didn't seem to expect that she would say that, so the naked eye could see a moment of astonishment on her face, which was quickly covered up by complicated eyes.

She tried to pretend to be calm, as if nothing happened, but Chen Mo knew that she definitely didn't listen carefully to what she just said.

They came to Black Wall. Currently, Black Wall is the most suitable place for infected people to settle. If this place can be developed, it will be much better than a camp in the wilderness.

Tallulah could finally breathe a sigh of relief. She had been tense for too long. Their fighting had never stopped or rested intermittently over the past few years.

But it's different now. She has gained the recognition of the patriots, and their journey south is continuing. They have a stable habitat, and they have successfully repelled Ursus' regular army. They have also received assistance from Kazdaele, and they are infected. ally.

Good things are happening one after another, the situation is getting better and better, the infected have hope, and the team is on the right track.

It’s time to take a break, and it’s also time to start focusing on the longer term. With a purpose, people can move forward. Taking one step at a time is out of helplessness, but if you can have a plan and follow the steps, who would want to? There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain.

The team is a whole, and the whole is related to everyone's life and death.

"Are you a little disappointed?" Chen Mo seemed to have seen through Tallulah's thoughts.

He still had some bad taste, Tallulah was about to reply, but after seeing the look in his eyes, she instantly understood that he was deliberately teasing her.

Tallulah suddenly understood why Hui Jie liked to beat him so much when she was a child. At that time, she was not a victim and did not have to endure Chen Mo's meanness. But now, Tallulah also wanted to take action.

After all, she was not Chen, and she was not willing to do anything to Chen Mo in front of her.

"These issues can be discussed later. I think we can do other things now." Chen Mo said suddenly, and belatedly, his eyes fell on Tallulah.

The tall silver-haired girl was wearing a black straight Ursus military uniform, with two rows of large breast buttons on her raised chest, and her overlapping legs exposing her fair and shapely calves under the military skirt. Her heroic face was under the warm light. There was no loss of gentleness, but when they were alone, there was an extra touch of charm.

"For example?" Tallulah raised her head slightly, finally calmed down and became extremely calm. The long tail wrapped in fine scales slowly swayed according to the owner's mood, with a few black thorns on the tip of the tail.

"The night is still long." Chen Mo pointed out.

"I think it's better to talk about what happened just now." Tallulah didn't give any face. She sat on the bed and crossed her hands, with a smile on her face.

"I gave you a chance just now."

"So I regret it now."

"Who's to blame? Who told you to laugh at me on purpose?"

Chen Mo could only blame himself and continue to talk about the topic just now. Tallulah felt that his dejected look was fake, but it did not prevent her from feeling funny about Chen Mo who was so self-inflicted.

In fact, he should persist a little longer, Tallulah thought, maybe they shouldn't expect too much, but people are always too greedy.

Chen Mo believes that the enemies of the infected should not be ordinary Ursus people who are hostile to them, or even the Ursus army.

The army comes from the people, and in the education and brainwashing of citizens by Ursus, infected people are regarded as potential enemies. Therefore, it is natural that infected people who may endanger their lives and safety in the eyes of ordinary people will be hostile and excluded by them. , and those who are willing to accept the infected, the infected sympathizers in Ursus, whether it is out of sympathy and mercy, or out of opposition to the imperial policy, they are bound to have some difficulties in accepting the infected. It will cause opposition from other people and lead to conflicts between them.

"Well, you are right, but the crux of the problem is how do we solve these problems. Ordinary people's prejudices and hostility towards Ursus are deep-rooted and difficult to eliminate."

"So it takes time, and the prerequisite for solving the problem is cognition, education and thinking." Chen Mo said: "We can defeat the Ursus army. If one day we become stronger, we can even gain a piece of land, but Ursus People’s prejudices against infected people will not disappear.”

"The battle of ideas is also a battle, and it is invisible but more deadly. The Ursus Empire uses distorted concepts and ideas to instill into the people the view that the infected are enemies, thereby diverting the Ursus Empire's internal and external conquests and decline. Various contradictions, the empire's oppression of the people, the abuse and corruption of power, the overt and covert struggles between the Army Group and various noble princes." Chen Mo said: "This is Ursus's problem, but it may not be our advantage."

"Look beyond the confines of the infected, Tallulah, if ordinary people in the Ursus Empire are regarded as enemies, then we will never be able to defeat this country, defeat its oppression, and change the situation of the infected. The infected must If we want to occupy a place in Ursus, our enemy should be the country's ideas, the initiators of spreading these ideas, and the main reason why these ideas spread among the people and are not recognized by people."

Tallulah was stunned for a moment, then she fell silent.

"I haven't thought that far ahead."

"It's not too late now."

"Then what are we going to do?"

"First of all, unite the infected people in Ursus, which we are already doing. We must arm these infected people with thoughts and teach them the true thoughts that Ursus is unwilling to teach them. No matter what we do, first of all There is power, and for the infected, the large number of infected itself is a force that can be gathered." Chen Mo said: "But this is only the first step, Ursus is bound to not want to see the unity and growth of the infected. , so they will try to find ways to destroy our group and attack our beliefs, and thought is the best way for us to fight against their division and impact on us. We must liberate the suffering of the infected, and at the same time liberate their minds. This will It’s going to have a big impact on Ursus.”

Tallulah listened quietly as Chen Mo continued to speak.

"Of course ordinary people will not understand. They will regard us as enemies and feel that we threaten them. Ursus can use his fallacies to confuse the people, but they will eventually recognize something. If we do not waver , the ideas of Ursus will be shaken, they will collide in thought and behavior, and use facts to prove to the Ursus people that we are not their enemy, the empire is."
