Chapter 109: Meditation Under the Moon
What to do now? If you want the county magistrate to hear your case, you need to prepare some benefits. Isn't their job to help the people redress the injustice? And the other party promised to leave Zeng Tairan unharmed.
If he released more demands, he would appear to be greedy. When did justice become a luxury product and a tool used by the people above to trade? Chen Chen couldn't figure it out, and the county magistrate wouldn't give it to him.
It took him time to figure it out. "We are here to see you off." With the other party's light words, Chen Chen had to leave here.
A few days later, Zeng Tairan was finally released. From the outside, he seemed to be unharmed, and his body was cleaner and tidier than when he was wandering for a few days. But anyone could see that he was
His spirit was sluggish and he kept his head down without saying a word. It seemed that the county magistrate should have said the same words to him.
Chen Chen also picked him up in silence. There were chirping birds in the sky, hawkers in the market around him, and a few children playing happily on the ground, but these sounds seemed to be in another world and could not reach Chen Chen.
around people.
"Where are we going next?" Although Zeng Tairan's voice did not change at all, Chen Chen could hear an unmistakable hoarseness in it.
"I don't know, let's get out of here first." Chen Chen raised his head, and the light from directly in front of him shone, dyeing his face golden.
At night, Chen Chen and Zeng Tairan had already left the city, but since they had no destination, they could only wander around. Now they were unwilling to return to the county town again, so they could only set up a bonfire in the wilderness.
Warming.
"What should we do next?" Zeng Tairan put on his clothes and warmed himself by the fire, and the red firelight swayed on his face.
"Yes, what should we do next? The county magistrate here is unwilling to provide us with justice. What else can we do?" Chen Chen stared at the bonfire in front of him. The constantly beating firelight not only shone on his face,
It was also reflected in his confused eyes.
Zeng Tairan stopped talking, and there was no animal sound in his ears. After the fire burned, there was a "crackling" sound of broken wood.
"Do you think my persistence will succeed..." Zeng Tairan asked, his voice filled with a coldness that could not be warmed by the firelight.
"Honestly, I don't know." Chen Chen shook his head. What can he say? He is still a child in school. He always feels that too many things have happened recently, and he is overwhelmed by them all. And after leaving the academy, what?
There is a deep sense of powerlessness in everything, not the simple way in the academy.
"Perhaps, as the county magistrate said, protecting yourself is the best choice...Now that officials are protecting each other, even if you take your life, you may not be able to turn the case over..." Chen Chen raised his head and saw that the sky was filled with light.
Why can't the stars on earth still light up the road on earth?
Both of them had concerns, and although they had the same concerns, they could not resolve them through communication, so they were silent again, for a long time.
"Boom!" Zeng Tairan hit the ground hard, making Chen Chen worried about his hands. "If I just give up like this, if I just give up like this... I won't give up! I've been holding on for such a long time.
, I have made such a realization, and if I just give up like this, how can I have the face to face my wife and daughter underground, and what qualifications do I have to start a new life!!"
Zeng Tairan shouted into the vast night, as if he wanted to vent all his resentment over the past few days. The heartbreaking voice made Chen Chen feel heartbroken.
"Chen Chen, you have helped me a lot. Now you can go about your own business. Let me walk the rest of the way alone." (Repertoire)
"How could this be possible?!" Chen Chen cried out, but he immediately organized his thoughts and said the words he had prepared: "If you leave me, you can't go far."
Zeng remained calm and silent, and it seemed that he must have spoken to his heart.
"Actually, I'm not helping you, or my purpose is not to help you. I just want an ending. Looking at the people floating in the sea of suffering, I want everyone to have a perfect ending."
If you ask what the tone of the conversation tonight is, then it must be silence. Only the flames are very incomprehensible and are still dancing enthusiastically.
"Thank you." Zeng Tairan said.
"Hey, instead of talking about this, it's better to think about where to go next. We can't stay here for a few days, right?" A cold wind blew, making Chen Chen shiver from the cold.
"This county magistrate will not uphold justice for us... What if we change the county magistrate? Can magistrates from other counties try the officials of this town?" Zeng Tairan asked tentatively.
Regarding this issue, Chen Chen couldn't make up his mind: "Well... I'm not sure about this issue either. In my impression, if someone goes to the county government to file a complaint, they should accept it regardless of the location. But after
I’m not too sure about this incident, after all, I haven’t experienced anything like this myself.”
Yes, the person in front of me is just a minor. Although he has provided me with a lot of help, it is difficult to make any experienced judgment.
"Well, let's go to the surrounding counties first, find their magistrates, and see their attitude." Hope ignited in Zeng Tairan's eyes again, but the fire dimmed.
"What are you doing?" Chen Chen stood up in front of him. Not only did he put out the fire, but he also kept stepping on it with his feet, trying to extinguish the last spark. (Fire prevention in the wild starts with me)
"What for? Of course it's to put out the fire." Chen Chen patted Zeng Tairan's arm, "Get up, it's time to go."
"I thought we were going to spend the night here tonight."
"Generally, yes." Chen Chen stomped his feet and stomped the ashes on his feet to the ground. "But now we have to face a more cruel fact: During the time when you were eating and sleeping in the public house, I have been
I spent my own money. Therefore, with insufficient funds now, we must shorten our process."
"Ah?" Zeng Tairan asked worriedly, "How much money is left now?"
Chen Chen shrank his head and said angrily: "If we walk non-stop to the neighboring county now, we will just run out when we arrive..."
Well, they have been thinking here for a long time, but the most important thing has not been solved yet? "God, you have really thought of no way out for us!!!"
