Chapter 103 Cat Town (24)

Whether Eagle's death--I don't want to use "sacrifice" because he didn't consider himself a hero--whether, and, if so, to what extent, he had the desired effect, is yet to be known.What I know is: His head is indeed hanging, and "Look at the head" has become the most popular three words in Cat City.I didn't want to look at the head, but I looked carefully at the people who visited the head.Xiaoxie was no longer easy to see, he was too busy to greet him, so I had no choice but to go to the street to have a look.The city is still very lively, no, I should say it is more lively: there is a big eagle's head to look at, which is more interesting than everyone competing to see a pebble on the ground.Before I reached the place where the head hanged, I heard that three old people and two women had been squeezed to death.The sacrifice of cat people to satisfy the eyesight is very admirable.The people who watched did not criticize and discuss, and it seemed to have no effect other than crowding and scolding each other.No one asked: who is this?Why die?No.I only heard some, the hair on the face is very long.Eyes closed.Only the head, no body, what a pity!

If Eagle's death aroused only these few judgments, he was right to die anyway; what's the point of living with such a group of people. Leaving this group of people, I walked towards the palace, there must be something worth seeing, I thought.The road is really difficult.The music continued to play, passing one team after another, people seemed to be overwhelmed, and looked at the heads carefully, but also reluctant to part with the music team, everyone bumped here and there, seemed very dissatisfied with only two Eye.From their yelling, I could tell that these bands were the preludes of marriage.There were so many people that I could only hear the blowing and beating, but I couldn't see whether the bride was sitting in a sedan chair or being carried by seven people.I have no intention of watching it, but I want to ask, why are you so eager to get married in the face of such a disaster?There's no place to ask; cat people don't speak to foreigners.Go back to find fans.She was crying in the room, and she seemed even more aggrieved when she saw me, and she was so crying that she couldn't speak.After I persuaded her for a long time, she stopped and said, "He's gone, he's gone to fight, how good it is!"

"He's back." Although I was lying, I really hoped that Xiaoxie would come back. "I still want to go with him. He must come back, so I can go with him." "Really?" She took Tears laughed. "Really. Come out with me, lest someone cry here." "I didn't cry," Mi wiped her eyes, threw some white powder on her, and came out with me. "Why are so many married now?" I asked. If I can comfort a woman and keep her from crying for a while, it is a feat, so I can only forgive my selfishness; I have almost never imagined it—Isn’t Xiaoxie’s death in battle seem certain—just to satisfy my desire curiosity.I still feel sorry for her.

"Every time there is trouble, everyone will get married quickly, so as not to destroy the girl by the soldiers." Fan said. "But why do you still do it in such a lively manner?" I was only thinking about war and destruction in my heart. "If you want to get married, you have to be lively, and the chaos is over in a few days, and the marriage is for life." In the end, the cat people's explanation of life is better than me.She went on to say, "Let's go to the theater." After she believed my lie, she forgot all her sorrows: "Today the Minister of Foreign Affairs married his daughter-in-law and sang an opera on the street. You haven't seen an opera yet?"

It is true that I haven't watched the drama of the cat people, but I think it is more meaningful to kill the Minister of Foreign Affairs who still has to sing in this situation than to watch the drama.Even so, I'm not a murderer after all, so I might as well go to the theater first.Lately my dialectic has become a bit feline. Soldiers stood outside the home of the foreign minister.The play has started, but civilians are not allowed to go forward; if they squeeze forward, they will be hit on the head with a big stick.Cat soldiers can indeed fight—hit their own people.Fans can squeeze in, and the soldiers naturally didn't dare to beat me, but I didn't want to go in to see it, because the sound of singing and blowing would be unpleasant at a distance, and it might be too harsh if it is close.

After listening to it for a long time, I only heard shouts and noises. To put it bluntly, I can't appreciate cat shows. "Don't you have any more peaceful and elegant scenes than this?" I asked my fan. "I remember watching foreign operas when I was a child, which was more elegant than this. But later, because no one understood that kind of opera, no one sang it. The Minister of Foreign Affairs himself advocated foreign operas, but later I heard a person—a foreigner— — said that our plays are of great value, so he advocated the old plays again." "In the future, someone—a foreigner—tells him that foreign plays are still valuable?"

"That doesn't mean he will promote foreign operas anymore. Foreign operas are indeed good, but they are profound. When he advocates foreign operas, he may not really understand its profoundness, so when he hears people say that our operas are good, he immediately replies. Come to think of it. He doesn't understand drama at all, but he wants to be known as an advocate of drama. Then, it is easy to promote old drama, and it can be loved by ordinary people. It kills two birds with one stone. Why not do it this way. There are many things like this, As soon as the new one emerges, it will be finished, and the old one will be more developed; if we really understand that the new one is not an easy task, we will not spend too much energy." The obsession is infected by the little scorpion, I guess, this will never happen It was her own opinion; although she said so, she pushed forward as she said.Naturally, it is inconvenient for me to ask her again.After watching it for a while, I couldn't stand it anymore.

"Shall we go?" I said. Mi seemed unwilling to leave, but he was not persistent, probably because he was a little embarrassed not to leave because of what he had said. I wanted to go to the palace to have a look, and the fans didn't object. The palace is the largest building in Cat City, but not the most beautiful.The front of the palace is particularly ugly today: there are soldiers outside the wall, soldiers on the wall, and there is no place without soldiers.Not to mention, the walls were covered with mud, and the ditches under the walls were filled with stinking water.I don't understand what the purpose of this muddy water is, ask the fans.

"Foreigners like to be clean," Mi said, "so whenever we hear that foreigners are coming to attack us, we pile up mud and put smelly water outside the palace; in this way, even if the enemy comes here, they can't go in immediately, because they are afraid of killing us." dirty." I can't even smile! Several human heads appeared on the wall.After staying for a long time, they climbed up and sat on the wall.Fan seemed very excited: "Shangyu! Shangyu!" "Where is it?" I asked. "Wait!" How long I waited, my legs knew; I couldn't stand up anymore.

After waiting for a long time, the people on the wall tied down a stone with white words written on it.Fan has good eyesight, and "yo" while watching. "What's the matter?" I was a little anxious. "Move the capital! Move the capital! The emperor moved! It's broken, it's broken! He's not here, what should I do!" Fan was really anxious.Originally, Xiaoxie was not here, so what should she do! I was about to comfort her when another stone slab came down from the wall. "Look! Fantastic!" "The military and civilians are not allowed to move at will, only the emperor and officials move." She read it to me.

I admire this emperor very much, and I only hope that he fell to his death halfway.But fans like it instead: "Fortunately, if everyone doesn't leave, I won't be afraid anymore!" I thought to myself, how can everyone not leave, the officials are gone, how can we get lost leaves here.Just as he was thinking so, another oracle came down from the wall.The fan read to me again: "From now on, you are not allowed to call the emperor the 'lord of coaxing'. In the face of catastrophe, the people of the whole country should be single-minded and single-minded, and should call the emperor the 'lord of coaxing'." Fan added: "It's fine if you don't dare to coax. !” Then read on: “All our soldiers and civilians should resist together, and not harm the country for personal gain!” I added: “Then, why did the emperor run away first?” We waited for a long time, and the people on the wall climbed down. , probably there is no edict.Fan wants to go back and see if Xiaoxie is back.I'm going to visit various government agencies, but I can't get in, maybe I can see some orders from outside.I broke up with her, she went east, I went west.The east side is still so lively, and the music of wedding singing and opera is piercing and noisy.The west side is very quiet, although a very important decree has been issued, but not many people come to see it, it seems that marriage is the most important thing in the world.I pay special attention to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.But there was no one outside the yamen.After waiting for a long time, no one came out.Yes, there is a wedding at the minister's house, and of course no one comes to work; especially in this time of diplomatic tension.However, it is still a question of whether the cat people have diplomacy, although there is such a Ministry of Foreign Affairs.No one, I'm sorry, let's go in and have a look.There was really no one in there.The house was not closed either.I can visit freely.There was nothing in the room except a pile of large stone slabs with the word "Protest" engraved on them.I understand: the so-called diplomats must send a piece of "protest" no matter what happens, and diplomats are protest experts.I want to find some official documents from foreign countries to cat people; I can't find them.Probably the cat people's "protest" will always be ignored.Needless to say, such diplomacy is indeed simple and trouble-free. There is no need to look at other yamen. Since the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is so simple, there may not even be a stone like "protest" in other yamen. Going west after leaving, there are so many yamen: Department of Prostitutes, Miye Office, Department of Foreign Affairs, Bureau of Boycotting Foreign Products, Meat Restaurant, Orphan Sale Bureau... These are just a few names that I think are particularly interesting. There is still more to understand.In addition to being an official when you are idle, of course you should set up more yamen; I think there are many, but I am afraid the cat people think it is not enough. Go straight west.This is my first time going west.Thinking of going to a foreign city to see, no, I'd better go back and see if Xiaoxie is back.I went back on the other side of the street instead.I didn't meet many students, probably they all went to see the head and listen to the opera.However, after walking for a long time, I met a group of students, all kneeling on the ground, with a large stone in front of them, with a few white characters written on it: "The God's Table of the Great Immortal of Mazu".I knew that if I asked them in the past, they must have run away completely; I slipped lightly to the back and knelt down to listen to what they had to say. The one at the front stood up and stood in front of the stone and shouted to everyone: "Long live Mazuism! Long live Master Siji! Long live Puluopuluopulapu!" Everyone also shouted.After shouting, the man started talking to everyone, and everyone sat on the ground.He said: "We want to overthrow the great gods and only believe in Mazu! We want to overthrow our parents, overthrow our teachers, and restore our freedom! We want to overthrow the emperor and implement the Master Master Siji! We welcome foreigners who invade us. Luo Pu Lapu! Let's capture the emperor now and dedicate him to our foreign comrades! This is our only chance, and we will leave soon. We have captured the emperor, and then kill all the parents and teachers, all of them! Kill! Despite them, all the leaves are ours, all the women are ours, the people are all ours, and they are our slaves! The master Siji is ours, and the great immortal Mazu said: Puluopuluopulapu is the land The upper and lower floors of the Yaya of Dongdidong, Hualala! Let's go to the palace now!" Everyone didn't move. "Let's go now!" Everyone still didn't move. "How about we go home and kill Dad first?" Someone suggested: "There are too many soldiers in the palace, don't suffer from immediate losses!" Everyone started to stand up. "Sit down! Then, go home and kill Dad first?" Everyone asked and answered each other. "If you kill your father, who will feed Miye?" One asked. "It's because I got all the leaves in my hands that I killed my father!" One person replied. "Now our opinions are inconsistent, we can split up and do things separately: kill the emperor who sent by the emperor, kill the emperor who sent by the father, and kill the father." Another suggestion. "However, Immortal Mazu only said to kill the emperor's knowledge, refueling, and never said to kill father—" "Counter-revolution!" "Kill the one who misinterpreted the divine words of the Great Immortal Mazu!" I thought it was going to be a fight.After staying for a long time, no one did anything, but it was a mess.Slowly the group divided into several small groups, all standing up and shouting at the god of Mazu.After staying for a long time, we formed a group of one person, still yelling at the stone.Shouting back and forth, everyone ran out of energy, and shouted to Shishi with the last of their strength: "Long live Mazu!" They all dispersed. What trick?
