Chapter 16: Don’t want to recognize someone as your father
Everyone feels that it is okay to despise their own dignity, but when someone brazenly says that they will give you 10,000 yuan, they will slap you in the face with 10,000 yuan and say, "Call me daddy, this money is yours."
Although there are various ridicules on the Internet that they will make him bankrupt, if this happens in reality, Li Mengxi can guarantee that 97% of people will punch this person on the head and not hit him.
You have to be a fool.
Asking this kind of question is extremely offensive in itself, regardless of the amount of money.
This is not called belittling, what is belittled.
If you are not an idiot, you will never ask such stupid questions.
Therefore, why, in reality, no rich man dares to say on the Internet that he would like to call daddy and give him one million in person.
Anyone who can make a lot of money is a smart person. Smart people know to consider the social impact and will not do anything that is not worth the loss.
The impact is secondary. As long as someone actually tells people face to face that he calls for 10,000 yuan, the possibility of such a person dying is very high.
The strict social hierarchy of feudal society was broken, and modern society was established. What does equality mean for everyone? It means that everyone enjoys the same personal dignity.
Once the knees are straightened, they cannot be bent anymore.
As Lao Tzu said, the era when everyone was like a dragon, the era when everyone held their heads high and their chests held high, was the era when Li Mengxi came.
Because of his arrogance, Li Mengxi rejected Liu Bei's kindness from the bottom of his heart, so he neatly rejected Liu Bei's kindness.
Maybe, a little impulsive.
If it is done at that time, it will provide a lot more protection.
What has passed has passed.
Li Mengxi didn't know it yet, but just because he refused to be Liu Bei's adopted son, he had fewer constraints.
As the saying goes, if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.
To enjoy the advantages and conveniences of being an adopted son, you must also suffer the inconveniences caused by being an adopted son.
In ancient times, the elders were respected and the younger ones were inferior. When the elders spoke, the younger ones did not have a chance to interrupt.
If one day Liu Xuande came up with a bad idea, Li Mengxi would like to remind him that if it weren't for his adopted son, he would still be able to quarrel with Liu Bei.
If he is an adopted son, let alone quarreling, if he is a little stubborn, under the social atmosphere of the late Han Dynasty, he will be regarded as disrespectful, disrespectful and rebellious.
For Li Mengxi, he did not need the help from his adopted son's status, but instead, it would be a shackles.
After thinking everything through, Li Mengxi put the matter aside.
The two brothers were lying on the grain cart. The grain cart was being pulled by someone, and it was swaying forward on the dirt road with terrible road conditions. The cart shook like a cradle, which was very comfortable.
"Little brother, that uncle with big ears wants to be our adoptive father, are you willing to recognize him?" Li Mengxi turned to his younger brother who was also lying on the grain truck and said.
The younger brother rolled over. Li Mengxi was afraid that the younger brother would fall, so he quickly grabbed his younger brother.
"Brother, what is a foster father?" The younger brother was very confused.
"My foster father is, um, that big-eared uncle who wants to be our father. Do you want to be our father?" Li Mengxi asked his brother with a smile.
"I don't want to." The younger brother curled his lips.
"Brother, do you want him to be our father?" the younger brother asked Li Mengxi.
"I don't want to either." Li Mengxi shook his head and looked at the clouds in the sky in trance.
"Brother, why don't you want him to be our father?" the younger brother asked curiously.
"Because, brother, I don't want to recognize anyone as my father." Li Mengxi smiled, his eyes firm, he touched his brother's head and spoke word by word.
After hearing Li Mengxi's answer, the younger brother seemed to understand, but also seemed not to understand.
The two brothers were wearing yellow scarves before, and the younger brother also had a dirty, invisible yellow cloth wrapped around his forehead. Li Mengxi frowned, reached out and untied the cloth from his younger brother's forehead, and threw it away from the car.
Then, Li Mengxi touched his forehead and found that there was an annoying strip of cloth on his forehead, so he took it off and threw it away.
Goodbye to the Yellow Turban Army, I will be a rebel from now on.
Li Mengxi thought to himself.
——
It didn't take even an hour for Liu Bei's Yijun to defeat the Yellow Turbans Cheng Yuanzhi and Deng Mao's troops, but it took most of the day to clean up the battlefield.
Cheng Yuanzhi's Yellow Turbans had tens of thousands of soldiers. After the first battle, the Yellow Turbans were slightly defeated. The Yellow Turban refugees immediately scattered and fled. Liu Bei's army also had few cavalry. Although he went to the small road to block it earlier, only a small number of them were forced to land.
, out of tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans, only a few hundred people were captured.
This corresponds to the saying that even tens of thousands of pigs cannot be caught in a short time.
The Yellow Turban refugees are defeated and will not be exterminated. If they are not wiped out, when they gather, the thieves will come again.
The scouts have discovered that before Deng Mao and Cheng Yuanzhi camped at Daxing Mountain, they had already camped to the east of Daxing Mountain on another dangerous mountain. There was an old Yellow Turban stronghold on the mountain, where many defeated Yellow Turban troops gathered, and the bandit force became strong again.
In order to complete his success in conquering the thieves, Liu Bei sent troops to attack the Yellow Turbans again.
After marching for half a day, Li Mengxi and his brother were lying on the grain cart. The morning was fine, but as noon approached, the sun scorched the two brothers.
There were no clothes or umbrellas to cover me, and there was no place to hide.
The unbearable heat finally came to an end. At noon, we encountered a forest in front of us, and Liu Bei took shelter under the forest.
That is to say, the soldiers hid in the woods to take a nap and waited for the weather to subside before continuing on their way.
Taking advantage of the break from the heat, the villagers also had some dry food and water to prepare for the afternoon journey.
Lying on the grain cart was not very comfortable, so Li Mengxi climbed out of the cart and jumped to the ground with a thud.
When his younger brother saw Li Mengxi going down, he also wanted to follow him.
"Don't come down, there may be insects (snakes) in the woods." Li Mengxi threatened his brother, "My brother is going to relieve himself, are you going?"
"What is relieving yourself?" my younger brother asked, leaning his little head on the grain truck.
"Just peeing."
"Oh, then I won't go."
He told his brother to go in a little bit and don't fall down.
Li Mengxi looked at the people everywhere and walked in a direction with fewer people.
Not long after Li Mengxi left, Liu Bei came over with his robe in hand and something in the hem.
Liu Bei came to look for Li Mengxi, but told him that Li Mengxi was not there.
"Brick, where is your brother?"
Liu Bei grabbed the wild fruits he found in the woods and handed them to the bricks in the car.
"My brother has peed." Brick saw the wild fruit and couldn't wait to take it and eat it.
Seeing that Li Mengxi was not here but his younger brother was here, Liu Bei immediately had some thoughts.
Liu Bei pretended not to care and asked casually, "Zhuan'er, can your brother tell you why he doesn't want to be his adopted son?"
Liu Bei asked tentatively.
Brick tilted his head and thought for a moment.
"My brother said that he doesn't want to recognize anyone as his father." Brick thought about what his brother had said and repeated it clearly.
In this case, Liu Bei has the answer.
