What if there are two people?
After returning to Wuqing Mountain, they heard the news about the abandoned village.
Your Majesty has done justice to the case that happened in Qihuan Village that year.
During the time of the desolate ruler, lives were in jeopardy, with countless casualties. He abandoned the people's hearts, relying on ghost stories and exchanging children for conscience. This is a great evil and a great disaster. The Dali Temple is being sent to investigate and investigate, seeking to uncover the truth. Those whose ancestors committed this act, as well as their descendants, will be punished, ranging from imprisonment to the death. To repay the life that was saved, no mercy will be shown.
This is also a warning to the people that no matter when, people must not lose their most basic humanity, kill their own people, and willingly become bloody animals.
As soon as this announcement was made, many people rebelled against the injustice, and most of them were men. Most women were minding their own business, watching the excitement from the sidelines, laughing at their cowardice and viciousness at the time. After all, no mother truly hates her own child.
At that time, they were no different from children who were taken away at birth to exchange for goods. They were produced in exchange for treasures, or they became exchange items after losing their value. Since the new emperor came to power, their status and the things they can control have been increasingly improved. They no longer need to rely on men, and they can transition from fathers to husbands and then to their own sons without freedom. They have to rely on men for their entire lives to survive.
When a new emperor takes office, equal status for men and women is implemented, because a woman becoming emperor is the best start.
At first the men were not convinced. How could a weak and helpless woman, a woman as fragile as duckweed, a woman who had to rely on men, have an equal status with them? They resisted, they clamored, they wanted to start a riot.
But their thin hands were no match for the spears and swords, so the new emperor chose to suppress them with force. Their general rode on horseback and personally took charge of the matter, going door to door, delivering suitable clothes to the women, enough money to live on, and the right to leave once, including the women and prostitutes in the brothels. He told them, "If anyone blocks your escape, you may kill them without guilt."
Many women who were oppressed by their families, tied up by their children, and beaten by their husbands escaped, or chose to fight to the death, and went to the county government covered in blood to seek death. The head of the county government had long been replaced by the emperor. They were all people who cared about the people and resolutely followed the new order. They just asked someone to take the women down to take a comfortable hot bath, and then issued a public notice to seek a stable job for the women.
There was constant unrest among the people, but more women smiled and brought their daughters to care for and look after each other. Society gradually became stable and progressive. They could earn money on their own, even if it was not much, at least they could get a chance to survive.
There are more and more businesses run by women in the world, and they are diverse and affordable. Many arrogant men are gradually being outdone and want to beg for forgiveness from their wives and daughters so that they can return to their families.
Women are kind-hearted and often choose to forgive and go to the county government to ask for a marriage certificate, but their identities and status will be completely reversed. Women will be the breadwinners outside the home, while men will be the homemakers. Men must take full charge of everything at home and women are not allowed to participate. There will be a three-year investigation, and if they do not meet the requirements, they will be imprisoned.
At this time, the men would reveal their true colors and start cursing. The county magistrate would send people to hold them down and let the women deal with them. The women saw through their true colors, but most of them did not choose to punish them severely. They just hoped that they would not interfere with each other in the future.
Strict punishments and strict laws, and resolute enforcement.
Of course, there are also many women who are buried under the arms of men and dare not move freely, but legal reform is a long-term process and there is no need to rush.
But the men's actions did not decrease. Although they did not dare to do it openly, they did more and more actions behind the scenes. The general was annoyed and simply threw out the young man who climbed onto his bed again. Because no woman was willing to do such a humiliating thing, it had to be done by the young man who loved physical entanglement and was willing to do that kind of thing.
The general slashed his neck with his sword, drawing blood. The emperor walked up from behind him, looked at the people watching, slapped him in the face, and said, "For the last time, handle it yourself."
After saying that, he turned and left without a trace of mercy.
The general was furious and chopped off the young man's head with a sword. It was said that the general knelt outside the emperor's palace for a day and a night before he begged for forgiveness and was allowed to enter.
After that, no one dared to have this idea again.
Qihuan Village was renamed Rongzheng Village in the hope that the village would be glorious and upright.
Most of the resentment floating above the village has dissipated, and a lot of the resentment that has remained for years has also been eliminated by the people sent by the Immortal Mountain.
Rong'er and other people who were abandoned in the village also returned to their original appearance of teenagers and boys of seventeen or eighteen years old, and took the children to build the village. They built a cenotaph for the vengeful master, turned it into a larger ancestral hall, and sent people to worship and clean it.
They also collected the names of people who had been reported missing from their area over the years, and went from house to house to provide compensation. Even though most of them would be kicked out, some kind-hearted elderly people, after learning their stories, could no longer bear the hatred towards them even if they were still full of resentment, and only hoped that they would never meet again and would not owe each other anything in the next life.
After Cong Mo and his companions came back, they reported the situation to the old man Qingyi and received generous spirit stones and silver as rewards.
Cong Mo told him alone about the enemy and the other Cong Mo.
The old man Qing Yi had already anticipated the source of the development of the matter and was not surprised by it. He only expressed regret and told her to be more careful and not to worry too much about the future, as they could handle it. Cong Mo no longer cared about it and devoted himself to studying magic.
All in all, everything is moving in the right direction.
But on Leng Can's side, the progress of the strategy has not increased. Cong Mo is still cold to him, or even worse. Thinking of the lingering kiss in the cave, he suspects that he is dreaming because of thinking about it day and night.
Watching them practice their magic, he followed suit, sleeping soundly, waiting to be woken up for dinner.
In a blink of an eye, half a month passed and Wuqing Mountain welcomed deep autumn. Leng Can was lying on a lounge chair basking in the sun. In autumn, the temperature was suitable and the warm sun shone on his body. He was always lazy and had no interest. He would only tease Cong Mo occasionally, but she would refute him mercilessly. After realizing that he was asking for trouble, he stopped taking any further action.
If he annoys Cong Mo, it would be more trouble than he gains.
"Don't sleep, you should be very comfortable for the past half month." Cong Mo and Xi were still practicing. The old man stopped them and came to call him personally, "You sleep during practice, and now it's even more open and aboveboard to hide and bask in the sun."
"Master!" Leng Can saw the old man as soon as he opened his eyes. He was so scared that he fell off the chair and fell on his butt.
Elder Qingyi hurriedly helped him up and sat him on a chair. Wuqing Mountain originally didn't have reclining chairs, but Cong Mo had installed one for everyone there to suit Leng Can's habits. Elder Qingyi wasn't very good at controlling its balance, so he sat on the edge of the chair and comforted Leng Can, "Why are you so flustered, Leng Can? Although your talent is poor, you are definitely not a student who will shirk your responsibilities. Could you please tell me what's in your heart? Why have you been so depressed lately?"
Leng Can hung his head, looking extremely listless. He counted his fingers for a long time before saying, "Master, I... am not cut out for cultivation."
He came to the Immortal Mountain to seek the Tao, originally for Cong Mo. Originally, he had no interest in the concept of cultivation, and he never thought that one day he would come to this Immortal Mountain to seek the cultivation of the ruthless Tao. Now that he found that Cong Mo had no interest in him, let alone making her fall in love with him and fail to cultivate the ruthless Tao, even wanting her to have a little pity for him was impossible.
She advanced step by step, but Cong Mo did not retreat. Instead, she took big steps and kicked him back to his original position, making him dizzy and covered in bruises. Or she would give him some sweet treats under inexplicable circumstances, making him think that he had hope. After he woke up, she would return to that cold expression with empty eyes, leaving him alone in the sweetness, guarding that memory and missing him every night, without even a word of concern or greeting from her.
"Master, I haven't cultivated the way of ruthlessness yet. I still have feelings. I, I have many, many emotions." Leng Can began to wipe away his tears as he spoke. When he saw the old man, an elder with whom he could confide, he could no longer endure the grievances and pain of these days.
There was no need for the old man to guide her, she just blurted out everything, "Xiao, Xiaomo, how could you treat me like that, so cold... wuwu..."
No one can stand being pushed back and forth, and never getting any results. Just when things seem to be improving, he is beaten back again, retreating to the starting point, standing still at the starting point. The distant destination is right in front of him, but he can't get there no matter what.
"Master... Wuwu..." Leng Can couldn't hold back his tears, and he tugged at the old man's sleeves, rubbing them all over his clothes. "I, was I fooled... Wuwu... Wawa..."
Cong Mo is the type of person who is given a sweet date and then ten slaps in the face. He can't see where the next sweet date will be, so he can only wait silently. The next one he gets may not be a sweet date, but a painful slap in the face.
The old man could only try his best to comfort him, looking at the wet spot on his sleeve with disgust but not daring to say anything. As for what he said about "being fooled", he was constantly searching his mind for relevant cases to dissuade him and how to explain the term he didn't understand very well.
Seeing Leng Can crying so hard, he thought about it and decided to persuade him to give up.
"If you really don't like it, then don't force yourself."
"Cong Mo and I have applied for a two-month retreat. During these two months, without her, you will be all alone..."
"Retreat?" Leng Can raised his head, tears still smearing his face. "Is it the kind of retreat where you just retreat alone?"
"Yes." The old man didn't understand what he was thinking. "You need to calm your mind and spirit during retreat. You must not be disturbed."
Leng Can didn't listen to him at all, "What if there are two people?"
