A pessimist has merit: he must at least think about it before he becomes pessimistic. His mind may be unsound, his heart may be weak, but he knows how to use his brain.Therefore, I prefer small scorpions.As for the two groups of scholars, I put my hope in the new group of scholars. They may be as confused as the old scholars, but their appearance is happy and lively. As far as this point is concerned, I think they are enough to fill the gap. Scorpion's shortcomings; if Xiao Scorpion can muster up the courage and be as happy and lively as this group of young people, I think he will definitely do something beneficial to the society and the country.He needs some optimists as his assistants.I'd love to see more of the new group of scholars and see if they can help Xiaoxie.

I inquired from the fans where they lived. To find them, pass several schools on the way.I'm not in the mood to visit again.I don't want to listen to Xiaoxie's words completely, but these schools are all surrounded by an open space with four walls.Even if such a school is not as bad as Xiaoxie said, I can't admit that there is nothing to see in it.As for the male and female students coming and going on the street, when I glanced at them, my eyes became wet for a while.Their attitude, especially the older ones, is the same as when the big scorpion was carried away by the seven cat people, very arrogant and proud, as if they all regarded themselves as living gods, and did not realize that their country was the world Like the most humiliating country in the world.The people who run the education are confused, so there are such ignorant students. I should forgive these young people, but people in their twenties can't see anything wrong, and they can be very proud and arrogant in this hell. I really don't know if they have hearts or not.What is there to be proud of?I almost caught them for questioning; but who has time for that!

One of the new scholars I was looking for was the curator of the Antiquities, and I thought I could visit the Antiquities by visiting him.The building of the Antiquities Academy is not small, and there are always twenty or thirty houses in Changli.Sitting outside the door was a gatekeeper, with his cat's head leaning against the wall, sleeping very soundly.I looked inside, but there was no one there.It's amazing that the Antiquities Institute can open all four doors, and no one is looking after it!Besides, cat people are so fond of stealing things, strange!I didn't dare to disturb the gatekeeper, so I walked in by myself.Walking through two empty rooms, I met my new friend.He is very happy, clean, lively and polite, I can't help but love him very much.His name is Cat Rafsky.I know that this is by no means a common name in the country of cats, it must be a foreign word.I was afraid that he would tell me a lot of words with the suffix of Fusiji, so I told him straight to the point that I was going to visit ancient relics and asked him for guidance.I don't think he will take the antiquities to Vowski; if he doesn't, I have a solution.

Please, please, this way please.Cat Rawski was very jovial and polite. We went into an empty room and he said: This is a 10,000-year-old stone tool preservation room, arranged according to the latest methods, please take a look. I looked around and saw nothing.It's evil again!I said in my heart.Before he could ask a question, he pointed to the wall and said: This is a stone pot from 10,000 years ago, engraved with a foreign character, worth three million national souls. Oh, I understand, there was a line of small characters engraved on the wall, and the stone jar worth three million was probably displayed there.

This is a stone ax in 10,000 years, worth 200,000 national souls.This is a set of stone bowls from 10,002 years, worth 1.5 million.This is three hundred thousand.This is four hundred thousand. Among other things, I really admire him for being so familiar with the value of ancient objects. Entering another empty room, he still said politely and courteously: This is a book preservation room fifteen thousand years ago. The oldest books in the world are displayed according to the latest arrangement. He memorized a set of titles and values; I saw nothing but a few little black bugs on the wall.

I looked at ten empty rooms in a row, and my patience was exhausted by Catlavsky, but I was about to say goodbye to him and go outside for some air, when he led me to another room, outside the room. There were more than twenty people standing, all holding sticks in their hands!There was indeed something in it, thank God, I was lucky enough not to leave, ten rooms were empty and one room was solid, it was worth the trip. It was a coincidence that the gentleman came here. After two days, you can't see this thing.Malavsky said very politely: These are some pottery from 12,000 years ago, and they are displayed according to the latest arrangement.Twelve thousand years ago, our pottery was the most exquisite in the world. Later, since eight thousand years ago, our pottery industry was cut off. Until now, no one can make it.

why?I asked. Yayavsky. What do you mean, Yavsky?Before I could ask, he continued to say: These pottery are the most valuable things in the world, and they have been sold to foreign countries.A total of 30 million souls of the country were sold, and the price was not high. If the government hadn't been eager to sell them, they would probably have sold at least 50 million.In the former, we sold some stone tools that were less than 10,000 years old, and they still sold for 20 million. This agreement finally failed.The failure of the government is a small matter, and the few kickbacks we get for doing things are notable.What are we pointing at to eat?The salary has not been paid for several years, and if we don't rely on the sale of antiquities to get some kickbacks, is it telling us to be in trouble every day?Naturally, the rebates for the sale of antiquities are huge, but the people who take care of the antiquities are all new-style scholars. Our daily expenses are many times higher than those of old scholars. All the things we use come from foreign countries, and we are old enough to study every single thing we buy. People spend many days, this is indeed a problem!Catlavsky's ever-happy face actually took on a look of misery.

Why cut off the pottery industry?Yayavsky!Selling antiquities?Scholars get some kickbacks.I can no longer retain even the slightest hope for the new scholar.I didn't have the heart to ask any more questions, I simply didn't bother to talk to him anymore.I just think I should cry bitterly with those ancient relics in my arms.There is no need to ask any more, the government uses the sale of antiquities as one of its sources of finance, and new scholars only take kickbacks and report the value of the antiquities sold, so there is nothing left to ask.However, I still asked a question: What if these things are also sold out and everyone can no longer get rebates?

Yayavsky! I understand, Yayafski is more than 10,000 points more perfunctory than Xiaoxie's perfunctory.I hated Catlavsky, and I hated his Yayavsky even more. I'm not good at getting angry when I'm used to eating lost leaves. I actually didn't slap the cat Lavsky twice.I seemed to think about it, why would a Chinese get angry about the cat man?I can see clearly: the new scholars in the cat country have only been to foreign countries, read some, or listened to some, the latest arrangement method.They don't have the slightest sense of judgment at all, and they don't know what is good and what is bad. They just make a living based on a little new arrangement method they hear.It's such a pity that the Tao industry is cut off, it's only worth Yayavsky!How sad it is to sell antiquities, and Yayavsky!No backbone, no judgment, no personality, they just went abroad once, and then they called themselves scholars, so that they can be comfortable Yayavsky!

I ran out without saying hello to Catlavsky.I seem to hear that There was some whimpering in these empty rooms, as if they were crying when they saw some ghosts.If I were those antiquities, if the antiquities were things with souls, I would surely bleed those who betrayed me and those new scholars to death! When I got to the street, my heart was a little calmer.In this dark society, selling antiquities to foreign countries may not be a blessing for antiquities.Stealing and destroying are things cat people are most used to doing. Instead of telling them to destroy the historical treasures themselves, it must be better to take them to foreign countries for preservation.However, this is only for antiquities, and it must not be used to forgive Malavsky.Of course, it was not his idea to sell the antiquities alone, but his attitude of not being ashamed was unforgivable.He didn't seem to know what shame was.The pride of history, in my opinion, is the most difficult part of human nature to get rid of.But the youths of the cat country will ruin their own historical treasures without any emotion. Besides, cat Rawski is still a scholar. As a scholar, what should illiterate people do?My hope for the revival of the cat country is completely dead.Excessive effort is sometimes enough to kill a person or a country, but I cannot help admiring those who vomit blood to death due to hard work.Catlavskys only know Yayavsky, hopeless!

I have no intention of going to meet another new scholar.I also don't want to look at other cultural institutions.Seeing one more person will reduce my hope for an ideal person, and seeing one more organ will make me shed a few more tears, why bother!Xiaoxie is admirable. He didn't lead me to see it, and he didn't explain it to me in advance. He asked me to see it by myself first, which was implied. Passing by a library, I don't want to go in and look, I'm afraid I've been tricked again.A group of students came out of it, of course they were reading books, which aroused my desire to visit.The building of the library is very good. Although it looks like it has been in disrepair for a long time, it has not collapsed. As soon as you enter the gate, there are a few white words on the wall that seem to have just been written: Library Revolution.To whom does the library revolutionize?I'm not a very bright person to guess right away.I walked two steps inside, just looking at the writing on the wall, suddenly my legs were hugged, help!Someone on the ground yelled. There were about a dozen people lying on the ground, and the one hugging my leg was, I recognized, one of the new scholars.Their hands and feet are bound.I let them all go, and everyone ran away like released fish, only the new scholar remained. what happened?I asked. Revolution again!This time it's a library revolution!He said in a panic. Whose life has the library changed? They changed the life of the library!Please look sir.He pointed to his legs. Oh, he had put on a pair of short trousers.But what does putting on pants have to do with the library revolution? Aren't you wearing pants, sir?Several of us scholars took it as our duty to introduce foreign culture, morals and customs, so we also started to wear trousers.It was a revolutionary cause, he said. The cause of revolution is not so easy!I said in my heart. I put on my trousers, but it was too bad. When the university students next door saw my revolutionary behavior, they all came to me and asked me to give each of them a pair of trousers.I am the director of the library, and the books I sell have always been distributed to the students, because some of the students believe in Christianity.I can't stop selling books, I can't live without selling books, and I can't sell books without giving them a little money. The believers of Dafu Siji are very good at killing people.However, Mr. Siji is used to it. Today they saw me wearing trousers, and they wanted Mr. Mr. Siji. I don’t have the money to make trousers for everyone, so they counter-revolutionary; The trousers came to kill me again, so they tied us all up and robbed me of my little savings! Didn't they grab the books?I don't care much about personal gains and losses, what I want to look at is the library. Nothing can be snatched away. The books were sold out fifteen years ago, and we are now dedicated to the work of sorting them out. What are you going to organize without books? Tidy up the house, prepare for the revolution, change the library into a hotel, the name is still called a library, in fact, it can be rented out to collect some rent. Originally, soldiers have been stationed here many times, so it is natural for others to live more politely than soldiers. . I really admire the cat people, because I admire them, I dare not listen any more;
