I rely on talking to brush the copy

Chapter 54 Writing in the Republic of China (53)

Yang Jinglun put down the newspaper in his hand. Although he had already read the original manuscript written by Le Jing, he still felt chills all over when he reread "The Way of Animals".

The article "The Way of Animals" lifts the veil that the Chinese nation, which is dominated by Han people, has been accustomed to for thousands of years, revealing the fleshy and maggot-infested interior.

I can't bear to read it, but I can't stop reading it.

He almost looked in awe at the young man sitting sideways at his desk, writing furiously.

Although the young man's body is thin, he has a terrifying and powerful brain, which is enough to change the day, and it is also enough to fight against thousands of armies.

As an editor, Yang Jinglun’s keen intuition told him what kind of storm this article would cause.

So when this article was sent to the Shanghai branch of "Literary Newspaper", the editors unanimously decided to offer a high price of ten yuan per thousand words.

This is already the price of a first-rate writer.

But anyone who reads this article will understand that this article is worth the price.

This article will become an epoch-making work, which is the tacit consensus of all editors.

Li Tingye has been detained for two weeks.

For the past two weeks, he could not see anyone except the boy who came to deliver food every day.

At the beginning, he could still yell a few words in anger. After two weeks, the anger in his heart subsided and was replaced by deep-seated fear.

He won't really be locked up for the rest of his life, right?

Why do Second Uncle and the others protect that evil beast so much? !

Could it be that that evil beast really came to earth from Wenquxing? !

If that beast Li Jingliang hadn't been so clever and self-assertive, he wouldn't have ended up like this now!

God has no eyes, how could he let him give birth to these two evil beasts!

He was like a trapped animal, pacing around the room.

After an unknown amount of time, the door creaked open and Li Tingfang walked in.

Li Tingye was overjoyed: "Brother! Are you here to let me out?!"

Li Tingfang was expressionless: "Do you know where you went wrong?"

Li Tingye said aggrievedly: "I am also implicated by that boy Li Jingliang! It's not like he suddenly published such an article in the newspaper because of his brain disorder..."

"It seems that these two weeks are still too short." Li Tingfang sneered and threw him a newspaper, "Take a good look at it for yourself! If you still can't understand, you should stay here and never come out!"

Li Tingye opened the newspaper in confusion, and the first thing that caught his eye was the three characters "Animal Dao".

The article is very long, but this is not the reason why Li Tingfang almost gave up the article several times.

Li Tingfang scolded: "Read it completely to me!"

Li Tingye gritted his teeth and barely finished reading this article. He felt like he was sweating profusely, and his whole body felt like he had just been fished out of the water.

He gasped for air, looked at Li Tingfang with frightened eyes and asked for confirmation: "This article was written by... Li Jingran?"

Li Tingfang nodded with a cold face.

Li Tingye stopped talking and just stared at the newspaper in his hand in horror, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a long time, just when Li Tingfang got impatient and turned around to leave, the idiot's trembling voice finally sounded from behind him: "...I am not being imprisoned unjustly."

"Second uncle is right. He alone can destroy my Li family."

Li Tingfang glanced at him sideways, "You're not stupid enough."

Li Tingye's face turned pale, with deep fear in his eyes, and he said numbly: "I understand the power of a scholar's pen to kill people without being visible. I will definitely be criticized by thousands of people and will be infamy for thousands of years."

"I just don't know if that guy Li Jingliang can understand. I'm afraid..."

Although he hadn't finished speaking, Li Tingfang understood what he meant, so he said expressionlessly: "I have sent him a letter in the name of the clan leader asking him to come back."

For the first time in his life, Li Jingliang felt what despair was.

This feeling began to sprout when he read "The Way of Animals" in the newspaper. It became more and more intense when he saw the newspaper digging into their family's past secrets, and finally arrived when he received a scolding letter from the patriarch. peak.

He didn't understand why the situation changed overnight. Those who had scolded the night watchman before scolded him and his parents with ten or a hundred times their anger.

The story of a father doting on his concubine and destroying his wife, and a mother forcing his legitimate wife to death, and plotting against his legitimate eldest son spread throughout the streets and became the talk of countless people after dinner.

Even people in school are talking about it.

"Li Jingliang is just a little bitch. With a mother like that, he is not a good person."

"If you ask me, the previous insults against Mr. Night Watchman in the newspapers were too strange. Maybe they were written by Li Jingliang and his mother."

"Li Tingye spoiled his concubines and killed his wife, and allowed his step-brothers to slander and attack his eldest son and daughter. He is so ignorant and rare in the world!"

"He finally issued an article to clarify the reputation of the night watchman, saying that those who criticized Li Jingran in the newspaper were all lies... He was treating us as fools! What had he done? It was just to see his scandal exposed, so he wanted to save himself It’s just a reputation.”

"Li Jingran is really pitiful. He was bullied since he was a child, but he couldn't resist because of his filial piety. In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore and broke out. They even beat him and threw sewage at him."

Then at the end of the discussion, they would look at him with a smile: "Li Jingliang's face really follows his mother's example. If I were him, I would be so embarrassed that I would die in shame."

"He actually has the nerve to come to school. He is really shameless and invincible."

"I heard that Li Jingliang had someone write the articles in the newspapers that slandered the Night Watchmen. They are really vicious."

Li Jingliang bent his spine, panicking like a bereaved dog.

People's words are terrible, he knows that his future is completely over!

It was at this moment that he finally regretted it. He shouldn't provoke Li Jingran.

He was blinded by his arrogance, so he never saw his brother clearly and didn't know how powerful he was, which led to his current ruined outcome.

Later, Li Jingliang disappeared from Peiping. Some people said that he returned to his hometown in Northeast China and was imprisoned by his family for self-reflection. People didn't care about his ending. After saying a few words, they started talking about "The Way of the Animals" which has recently become popular all over the country.

The article "The Way of Animals" was originally published by Le Jing in the Shanghai branch of "Literature Newspaper". One day later, the "Literary Newspaper" headquarters in Peking also reprinted it.

Three days later, newspapers in Tianjin and Nanjing reprinted "The Way of Animals".

Two days later, newspapers in Jiangsu and Hebei reprinted "The Way of Animals".

A few days later, even Fengtian newspapers published "The Way of Animals" verbatim.

With Shanghai and Peiping as the centers, "The Way of the Beast" quickly swept across China's north and south in an outflanking trend. For a time, the voice of "animals" could not be heard in the streets and alleys.

At first, most of the comments in the newspapers focused on criticizing Li Tingye and Wang. However, the situation soon got out of control.

The little sword in "The Way of Animals" is sharply pointed. At first glance, it seems that the author is stabbing the sword at his native family, but in fact he is pointing at the stupidity, filial piety and patriarchy that have ruled China for thousands of years.

Such a shocking move naturally shocked the whole country and triggered a great debate about filial piety that would be recorded in the history books of later generations.

"Literary Newspaper": How many more years will China's filial piety continue to be cannibalistic?

"Jincheng Events": The ridiculous words of the bastard! The authorities should block it!

"Pingyuan Evening News": He talks about benevolence and morality, but has murderous ideas in his heart.

"Xuzhou News": Filial piety is the foundation of a country! Without filial piety, China will perish!

"Zhejiang Morning Post": From the Twenty-four Filial Piety to "The Way of Animals", what is filial piety?

"Jinzhong News": Memorize the scriptures and forget the ancestors, ignore human ethics, and be the night watchman criticized by thousands of people!

Scholars from all over the world used pens as weapons and newspapers as battlefields to fight without blood for their own ideas.

Beneath this battlefield where no gunpowder is visible, there is an undercurrent slowly brewing and flowing.

The white-haired old woman sat on the ground wiping her tears and cried to the villagers who were watching: "What's the point of living for me? It would be better for me to die! I have endured all the hardships and am fed by shit and urine." My son’s elbows are turned outward, and he wants to marry a wife without his mother! I shouldn’t have let the man go in the first place!”

The son blushed and said in a low voice: "Mom, stop making trouble, I beg you, let's go!"

The old woman stopped crying, stared hard at her son, and asked angrily: "Do you know you are wrong?"

"...It's all my son's fault, please don't hurt your body."

The old woman raised her lips proudly: "Then divorce your wife!"

The son asked: "Mom, Chun Niang has worked hard for our family for so many years, has been serving you with all her heart, and has given birth to three good children for our family. She cannot be more virtuous, how can we divorce her?"

The old woman's angry eyes were spitting fire. She slapped her thigh and started crying again: "What's the point of living for me! My son is a weakling who only listens to his wife's words, a coward! That bitch Xie Chunniang has no good intentions and wants me to die early." What! Everyone says that raising a son will help you grow old, but my good son has to watch me being killed by his wife!"

"Mom!" The son finally said angrily: "Please stop being so arrogant, okay! Chun Niang's virtuousness is well-known, please stop making unreasonable troubles!"

"Gensheng! How could you talk to your mother like this?" Some fellow villagers scolded her.

After finding someone to support her, the old woman cried even louder. She reluctantly asked the villagers to comment: "Listen to what these are saying! Okay, okay, you have grown up now, I am old and useless. , you don’t care whether I live or die! You lost your father when you were seven years old, and I brought you up as both father and mother..."

"That's enough!" The son couldn't bear it anymore and finally yelled. He stared at the old woman on the ground, as if looking at some man-eating monster: "As the saying goes, a mother is kind and her son is filial. If the mother is not kind, how can the son be filial? Come on! Chun Niang is right. You calm down in the morning and dusk, fan your pillow and warm your quilt, but how do you treat Chun Niang? She was forced to kneel down and stand upright despite her six-month-old belly. In the end, the child was miscarried, and she is still lying in bed unable to get up. Don't you? I feel bad, I feel bad!”

The old woman glared and was about to say something else, but was interrupted impatiently by her son: "My son has endured it for more than ten years and has had enough! Today, he has no choice but to be the beast that the night watchman called him last time! Even if he has to be raped by thousands of people, You mean, I also want to live a good life with Chun Niang!”

"Mother, let's part ways now!"

"If you want to take a step out of the house, you are not my son!" The old man stood guarding the door eagerly, his face ashen.

The middle-aged man was silent for a while, then breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I won't be my father's son."

"You!" The old man puffed his beard angrily and glared: "You evil beast! You evil beast!"

The middle-aged man laughed bitterly: "Because I am the eldest, I cannot go out to study or work. I can only farm at home to support my parents. My knowledge and talent are no greater than the word "filial piety"!"

"If it weren't for "The Animal Way" that awakened me, I would have spent my life in such a muddle!"

"Now that I am a beast, I am very happy!" The middle-aged man laughed and strode out of the door, leaving the old man far behind.

Where "The Animal Way" has passed, there are many people who have awakened like the son and the middle-aged man.

Where there is oppression, there is resistance.

The mountain of filial piety has been pressing on the Chinese for too long. I don't know how many people are living a life worse than death because of the word "filial piety".

Now that "The Animal Way" has come out, it has given them the best example.

Instead of being a filial person, it is better to be a free and happy "beast".
