Pig Killer

Chapter 288

"Didn't mother say that we can't blindly copy others?" Li Nu said to his mother with innocent eyes.

"You little girl." Shen Hui'e shook her head and laughed, "You're right." Then she continued, "I mean for reference! Learn from experience and lessons. You can look at their answers, copy them, find your own way, find an exit for yourself, and look for a way to survive."

"My mother also said that it is better to have no books than to believe in them completely!" said the cat slave deliberately with her big watery eyes.

"You're just arguing, aren't you? Are you gifted or do you just know it by nature?" Shen Hui'e flicked her forehead with her finger and said, "We are all ordinary people. What we have more than others is self-discipline, diligence, and hard work."

"Self-discipline?" Da Chong blinked and looked at her.

"Just like military rules and regulations, you have to restrain yourself." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her bright eyes and said, "Studying is boring. When other children are climbing trees to get bird eggs or playing in the river to catch fish, you have to sit in front of the desk and read the heavy bamboo slips without distraction."

"No! I don't find studying boring." Da Chong looked at her with his innocent eyes.

"You!" Shen Hui'e looked at him with her warm eyes and said with a smile, "Good boy! Keep it up!"

"What do you mean?" Da Chong looked at her and asked, not quite understanding.

"Live and learn." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with a smile.

"Ah!" Da Chong looked at her with his eyes wide open and said, "Do you keep learning?"

"Hmm!" Shen Hui'e nodded with a smile.

"Mother has to keep learning too!" said the cat slave, looking at her with watery eyes.

"Yes! I don't know everything." Shen Hui'e looked at them with clear eyes and said, "Self-discipline is not just for now, it must be maintained all the time! It's easy for people to indulge themselves."

"How can you indulge yourself?" the big insect asked her with its round eyes.

"Cricket fighting, cockfighting, and playing for money." Shen Hui'e said with a smile when he heard it.

"Father likes cockfighting." Da Chong turned his gaze to his father and said.

"I'm talking to you guys. Why are you targeting me? I don't want to play anymore." Huang Zhongchang quickly said, "All casinos have been closed, and all the people involved have been killed."

"He indulges in sensual pleasures, just like the Second Emperor. He is obsessed with the harem and ignores the affairs of state." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with her deep, unfathomable black eyes.

"Hey, hey! They are still young!" Huang Zhongchang looked at her with a twitching mouth and said, "They are only about ten years old."

"Not young anymore." Shen Hui'e raised her eyebrows and looked at him and said, "Someone has started to propose marriage."

"I got married late, in my twenties." Huang Zhongchang looked at his son with a smile and said, "There's no need to rush!"

“Hehe…” Da Chong’s face flushed red, and he looked embarrassed.

"Don't be shy. Once you know these things, you won't be curious anymore." Shen Hui'e looked at them with eyes as gentle as jade and said, "You won't be taken advantage of by those with ulterior motives."

"What do you mean?" Huang Zhongchang asked with a twitch of his eyebrows, "Pleasure?"

"Hmm!" Shen Hui'e said as she looked at him with her eyebrows slightly raised.

"Adults find it difficult to control themselves, let alone children." Shen Hui'e looked at them seriously and said.

"The children are following us! We are watching them and won't let them come into contact with these things too early." Huang Zhongchang said quickly after hearing this, "There is not even a female mosquito in the military camp."

"When you men get together, none of you comment on women." Shen Hui'e looked at him unhappily and said, "You didn't talk about things between men and women."

"Uh..." Huang Zhongchang opened and closed his mouth, and he couldn't find his own voice for a long time.

"Especially married old men, they have no taboos and especially like to brag about themselves." Shen Hui'e looked at him with clear eyes and said.

Huang Zhongchang moved his butt uncomfortably, his ears turned red. It was too embarrassing to discuss this with the children.

Men! They were talking nonsense together, as if she knew everything and she felt like she was being stripped naked.

"Okay! I won't say any more." Shen Hui'e smiled and shook her head, "We are busy and we are not with you. You have to protect yourselves."

"Yeah!" Da Chong and Li Nu nodded vigorously.

"Your instinct is wrong! Run away immediately." Shen Hui'e looked at them with deep and penetrating eyes and said, "Trust your instinct."

"I'm watching. I won't let them play with anything. What did they play with? Jixian said so." Huang Zhongchang blinked his dark eyes and looked at her.

"Playthings will ruin your ambition." Shen Hui'e looked at him with clear eyes.

"Right, right, right! How can I put it? What kind of son? A playboy, a prodigal son." Huang Zhongchang scratched his head and said, "How can I put it? He is an ignorant and incompetent man who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, and makes friends with bad people and drinking buddies."

"A dandy boy." Shen Hui'e looked at him with amusement.

"Yes, yes, yes! That's what he said." Huang Zhongchang nodded hurriedly after hearing this. "When I was traveling around, I also heard Jixian say that we all know what kind of people men are. We won't let them come into contact too early."

"Okay! I'll leave it to you." Shen Hui'e shook her head and laughed when she heard that.

"Actually, these things are not so mysterious after we talk about them." Shen Hui'e looked at them with pure eyes and said, "It won't arouse your curiosity." Then she added, "If you want to gamble, I will accompany you. We will gamble for three days and three nights. I will make you dizzy and nauseous."

"You really are." Huang Zhongchang's face was full of black lines when he heard this.

"No more talking." Shen Hui'e raised her hands in surrender, "I'm going back to the barracks."

"Let's go too." The big tiger brother and sister said in unison.

"We've recruited a lot of new soldiers." Huang Zhongchang smiled as he spoke, "They're very active!"

"It's beyond my expectations." Shen Hui'e said as she looked at them with calm eyes.

"We now have 20,000 troops." Huang Zhongchang looked at her with joy in his dark eyes and said happily, "In the past, we avoided conscription if we could, and we even had to force it. Now everyone is rushing to come."

"You are very active in defending your homeland!" Shen Hui'e looked at him with her deep and penetrating black eyes and said, "Compared with the government army and other forces, it is clear who is good and who is bad."

"Now we don't have to worry about no one joining the army." Huang Zhongchang looked at her with deep eyes and said, she was really good at winning people's hearts and bewitching them.

"Aren't you afraid that if you teach them all, it will be disadvantageous to us?" Huang Zhongchang looked at her curiously and asked.

"To accomplish something, one needs the right time, right place, and right people." Shen Hui'e looked at him with a cold gaze and said, "Do you really think it's that easy to rebel?" She snorted and said, "If the Second Emperor hadn't committed evil and made the people suffer, we wouldn't have had a chance." She sighed and said, "We've been living our whole lives facing the earth and back to the sky!"

"We have no people and no money, but what about those kings and princes? They have fame and they can just raise a big flag." Huang Zhongchang looked at her seriously with his bright dark eyes.

"If you're well fed and warmly dressed, who would do something that would cost you your life?" Shen Hui'e looked at him with her sparkling eyes and said, "Misfortunes sent by heaven can be forgiven, but misfortunes brought upon oneself cannot be forgiven." She looked at him with a moving look and said, "Sometimes, if you know the process clearly, you won't dare to do it."

"Why?" Huang Zhongchang asked curiously.

"It's too difficult." Shen Hui'e said while looking at him with a smile.

Huang Zhongchang was stunned when he heard this, and then said, "Heroes are made by the times."

"The key is the situation!" Shen Hui'e looked at him with her bright eyes and said, "Go with the flow and take advantage of the situation! Otherwise, you won't succeed if you just copy and paste."

"Hehe..." Da Chong and Li Nu both looked at their mother with a smile.

"What are you laughing at?" Shen Hui'e looked at them with a smile on her face and said, "You little rascals."

"So don't worry! The more you learn, the more ignorant you feel." Shen Hui'e said, looking at them with her deep and bright black eyes.

"Yes, yes, yes!" The three of them nodded in unison.

"The scholar's rebellion has failed in three years." Shen Hui'e said to them with her glassy eyes.

"Why?" Huang Zhongchang looked at her in confusion and said, "Don't they know more?"

"It is precisely because they know a lot that they look ahead and behind and hesitate." Shen Hui'e looked at them with her shiny black eyes and said, "But warriors don't care about so much, they just do it first. It's like picking dates, no matter if there are dates or not, they will just hit them twice first!"

"Haha..." Huang Zhongchang shook his head and laughed, "You might as well call him a reckless man."

"You can call him a reckless man." Shen Hui'e looked at him with her bright eyes and said, "How can you say that about rebellion? Many people act on impulse. Aren't they afraid afterwards?"

"Of course I'm afraid, but since it's already like this, I've got no choice but to go all the way." Huang Zhongchang looked at her with his dark eyes and said.

"Father, this sounds weird." The tiger whispered, "It's like you did something bad."

"That's about right! To the court, we are thieves and rebels." Shen Hui'e looked at them with eyes like glass beads and said, "We have no choice but to go all out. We must go all the way. Either we succeed or we fail and die. There is no third way."

Huang Zhongchang blinked his deep eyes and looked at her and said, "Can't you surrender?"

"No! You will die sooner or later if you surrender. There is no good outcome if you surrender." Shen Hui'e looked at them with deep and bottomless eyes and said, "Let me put it this way! There is a general amnesty!"

"Yes!" Huang Zhongchang nodded vigorously upon hearing this. "The new emperor ascended the throne and issued a general amnesty to show his benevolent rule."

"There will be no traitors during the general amnesty." Shen Hui'e looked at him with gloomy eyes.

"Uh..." Huang Zhongchang recalled carefully and said, "It's true. He wants to massacre three clans!"

"Surrender? Even if they are big and forgiving, they have power and influence, so they don't have to do it themselves. Even their subordinates will take the initiative to do it in order to win credit." Shen Hui'e snorted, "It's too easy for them to make things difficult for you and trip you up."
