I don't want to sacrifice the death of Daying, because he doesn't regard himself as a hero. Whether the role he hoped for will be realized, and, if it is realized, to what extent, it is not yet known.What I know is: His head is indeed hanging, and it seems that the head has become the most popular three words in the 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 dissatisfied with only two eyes.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.I persuaded her for a long time before she stopped and said:

He left and went to fight, how good! He's still coming back. Although I'm lying, I really hope that Xiaoxie will come back. I still want to go with him.He must come back, that I may go with him. real?She smiled with tears. real.Come out with me, lest I cry here alone. I didn't cry, Mi wiped her eyes, put on some white powder, 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 an achievement, and I can only forgive my selfishness; I almost never imagined that Xiaoxie's death in battle seemed certain, and I just satisfied my curiosity.I still feel sorry for her.

Every time there is trouble, everyone will get married as soon as possible, lest the woman be destroyed by the soldiers.Fan said. But why bother to do it so lively?My mind is preoccupied with war and death. If you want to get married, you have to be lively. Chaos is over in a few days, and marriage is for life.In the end, the cat people's interpretation of life is better than mine.She continued: 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 in the street.You haven't seen the play 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 are indeed people who can beat themselves.Fans can squeeze in, and the soldiers naturally didn't dare to beat me, but I didn't want to go closer to see it, because the sound of singing and blowing would be unpleasant from a distance, and it might be harsher 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 guys have any more peaceful and elegant dramas than this?I asked fans. I remember listening to foreign operas when I was a child, which was more elegant than this one.But later, because no one understood that kind of play, no one sang it.The Minister of Foreign Affairs himself advocated foreign operas, but later he heard a foreigner say that our operas are very valuable, so he advocated old operas again. In the future, if someone from a foreigner tells him, is there still value in foreign dramas?

That doesn't necessarily mean he's advocating foreign plays anymore.Foreign plays are indeed good, but they are profound.When he advocated foreign operas, he didn't necessarily understand the profoundness of them, so when people said our operas were good, he immediately turned his head back.He doesn't understand drama at all, but he wants to be known as advocating drama. So, it is easy to promote old drama, and it can be loved by ordinary people. It kills two birds with one stone, so why not do it this way.We have many things like this, the new ones are finished as soon as they emerge, and the old ones are developed more; if we really understand that new things are not easy, we don't spend much energy on them.

The fan was infected by Xiao Scorpion, I guess, this is definitely not her own opinion; although she said so, she moved 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. Let's go?I said. Mi seemed unwilling to leave, but he was not persistent, probably because he felt a little embarrassed not to leave because of what he 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 love cleanliness, myths say, 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 arrives here, they cannot enter immediately, because they are afraid of being 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.Fans seem very excited: Shangyu!Shangyu! where?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.Mi has good eyesight, so watch while watching.

What's the matter?I am a little anxious. Move the capital!Move the capital!The emperor moves!Broken, broken!What shall I do if he is not here!Fans are really in a hurry.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!fan! Soldiers 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 and died 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, it is not allowed to call the emperor the Lord of all coaxes.When the disaster is imminent, the people of the whole country should be of one heart and one mind, and should call the emperor the master of coaxing.The fan added: It's fine if you don't coax your feelings!Then read down: All our soldiers and civilians should resist together, and we must not harm the country for personal gain!I added a sentence: Then, why did the emperor run away first? We waited for a long time, and the people on the wall climbed down, probably because there was no decree.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 was issued, not many people came to see it. It seemed that marriage was 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 protests carved on them.I understand: the so-called diplomats must be sent to 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 protests 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 in other yamen that looks like a protest. Going west after coming out, there are so many yamen: Department of Prostitutes, Miye Office, Foreign Affairs Department, Bureau of Boycotting Foreign Goods, Meat and Food Hall, and Orphan Sale Bureau. These are just a few names that I think are particularly interesting. There are many books.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 of whom were kneeling on the ground, with a large stone in front of them, with a few white characters written on it: The Divine Tablet 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. Standing in front of the stone, one stood up and shouted to everyone: Long live Mazuism!Long live Master Siji!Plop, flop, flop, long live!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 God and only believe in Mazu Great Immortal!We will bring down the parents, bring down the teachers, and restore our freedom!We want to overthrow the emperor and implement Master Siji!We welcome the foreigners who invade us, they are plop, plop, plop, plop!Let's capture the emperor now and dedicate him to our foreign comrades!This is our only chance and we are leaving soon.Capture the emperor, and then kill all the parents and teachers, kill them all!Kill them all, all the leaves are ours, all the women are ours, and the people are all ours, as our slaves!Master Master Siji belongs to us. Mazu Daxian once said: Puluopuluopulapu is the upper and lower strata of the yayas of Didong Didong, Hualala!Let's go to the palace now! Everyone didn't move.Let's go now!Everyone still doesn't move. How about everyone go home and kill Dad first?One suggested that there are too many soldiers in the palace, so don't suffer from immediate losses! Everyone started to stand up. sit down!So, go home and kill Dad first? Everyone asked and answered each other. If you kill your father, who will feed Miye?Someone asked this question. It was precisely because he got all the leaves in his hands that he killed his father!One answered. Now that our opinions are inconsistent, we can split up and do things separately: kill those sent by the emperor to kill the emperor, and kill those sent by my father to kill my father.Another suggestion. But Master Mazu only said to kill the emperor's knowledge, cheers, never said to kill the father Counter-revolution! Kill the one who misunderstood 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 and shouting, everyone ran out of strength, and shouted to Shishi with their last strength: Long live Mazu!each dispersed.
