[Comprehensive History] Clothes are all over the world

In a dark prison, the only and cherished daylight falls on the ground like a beam of light connecting freedom and imprisonment.

Mu Bai looked at Mu Wen's eyes, which looked like scorching sun in the shadowy sunlight. He raised his hand to catch the sunlight, and drew an incomparably gorgeous world for Mu Wen who was still a child.

"If you study the lecture notes on classics and history now, you can try your skills in the imperial examination field in the future. If you read a book of travel notes, you can become a traveler in the future and travel to famous mountains and rivers."

"If you love reading stories, you will be able to take a toothbrush to a teahouse to exchange stories with others in the future. If you find the way of studying things interesting, you can also absorb the experience of your predecessors and learn from the past. If you like poetry, you can splash ink. If you learn Playing the piano and painting, you can choose whether to play a song "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix" or draw a picture of a beauty when showing favor to the lady you like."

"If you don't like these things, it's okay. After learning martial arts, you can also be a companion with brother and go to see all kinds of things overseas."

"The king chooses his ministers, and the ministers also choose the king. The king and his ministers choose each other. The world is so big, and if you are lucky enough to come to this world, why should you confine yourself to a prison to choose between the two?"

"But you see, you only have the opportunity to make these choices if you learn. If you don't learn, you can only follow the trend and wait for those who have the right to choose to decide your future."

"Brother can't help you choose the best path for you, but I hope you can have the right to choose."

Saying so, Mu Bai withdrew his hand full of sunlight, and twisted Mu Wen's little nose: "But, if we, Xiao Wen, don't have the heart to help the world change, we shouldn't go around the officialdom, for the sake of the common people." People, you should leave the opportunity to those who have the world in mind."

After he finished speaking, the scene fell into dead silence, Mu Wen was still tilting his head trying to understand, but the little official outside the prison door was stunned, mumbling but unable to find words.

This is an era in which all the people in the world are kings and ministers, but now, someone told him that the king chooses the ministers, and the ministers also choose the king.

Their choices are actually mutual, and they are actually... free.

Since you chose the monstrous wealth and wealth to rush into the Vanity Fair, why bother to complain about the other party after the failure, that is your own choice, and it has nothing to do with others.

After a long time, a low cry came from the wind: "Yes, I chose him, I chose him... If I hadn't lost my mind...my wife, my son wouldn't..."

All his remaining words were swallowed in the wind, and no more words came.

The wooden vocabulary is limited, and he actually can't fully understand the meaning in the wooden vernacular, but this does not affect him, blinking his bright star-like eyes and looking at his elder brother adoringly.

"Brother, that's amazing!" the child praised, clapping his hands.

Mu Bai smiled, "Brother is not very good, and brother is still studying, but Xue Hai Wuya is working hard alone, how about Wen'er to accompany brother?"

"Okay, Wen'er will accompany my elder brother." Seeing his elder brother's pitiful appearance, the considerate and well-behaved Mu Xiaowen agreed to his elder brother's request without even thinking about it, without knowing what kind of fire pit he pushed himself into.

When he wants to regret it in the future, it will be too late. The thief ship has already set sail, and there is no place to disembark.

And outside the prison fence, this place where most people's lives and dreams are buried is still in dead silence as always, but I don't know if it's an illusion, but the cool breeze passing through the hall today is a bit more noisy.

From that day on, Mu Bai brought Mu Wen to start laying out the basics of martial arts.

In fact, Mubai Xuewu has no tricks or methods. He has stepped out of the mountains of swords and flames, and his moves have been practiced. Which posture is the best for exerting force and which posture is the easiest to defend is all after a bloody lesson. Got it.

It is really not easy to pass on these body memories to children, and Mu Wen is still young after all, and his comprehension is not enough, so Mu Bai simplified some movements and taught them to children as fun.

As a result, a bouncing rabbit Wen and a twitching duck Wen appeared in the prison.Because the room was too small to move around, the clerk saw the child hit the wall a few times, so he simply made an exception and let him out, and came in after walking around every day.

Not to mention, maybe because Mu Wen is a child, these eccentric movements look quite cute, especially Mu Xiaowen sometimes wears the sand red tiger suit when going out for activities, and the way he jumps around is so cute Almost full.

At the beginning, the time for children's activities is very limited, and they have to come back quickly after the activities. Later, they can have more and more time to have fun, and even bring some small gifts after each activity.

Or dry biscuits or handkerchiefs, what’s more, I don’t know who gave all kinds of small animals woven from straw. Mu Bai saw that the collection of wooden texts evolved from grasshoppers to birds and then to the current calf, and he didn’t know the wooden texts. I hooked up with some craftsmen.

When it comes to the social skills of his own children, Mu Bai also admires them very much.I don't know if it's my own illusion, but my younger brother seems to have become a cub raised by the whole prison, even the jailer is no exception.Two days ago, Mu Wen came back wearing a pair of brand new little tiger shoes, which were given by the jailer.

This weird family atmosphere really made Mu Bai amazed, if not for the wooden railings still guarding there, he would have wondered if this was a prison.

In fact, this is mainly related to the relatively peaceful Mangbu Road Prison.

As a place directly bordering northern Yunnan and Sichuan, Mangbu Road can be regarded as an important border defense town in terms of geographical conditions, and coupled with being far away from the central government, it should have been the most chaotic.

However, most of the areas here are native official autonomous regions, and the native officials directly deal with the violations of the clansmen. Only a very small number of people who the native officials have no authority to manage or those who interfere in major cases will be sent to the yamen.

That is to say, with the exception of Mu Bai, who was pulled over for investigation, basically none of the people locked up in this prison were locals, and most of them were prostitutes. The vacancy rate of the prison reached [-]%.

I would like to add that according to the judicial regulations of the Yuan Dynasty, money can be used to cover crimes, but most of the people living here are foreigners who have no money. Therefore, the situation in some prisons where money is used to ask government servants to take care of their relatives basically does not happen here. of.

In addition, there were fewer prisoners in the past, so the manpower was naturally less, and the less people worked, the more jobs. In addition to patrolling, the jailers here were also responsible for sanitation and cleaning. Those who follow are all Buddhists who live on wages.

For example, the jailers who are now in charge of guarding and taking care of them are actually part-timers. Their job is to be in charge of the security of the Mangbu Road government office, otherwise Mubai would have no back door to leave.

In such a big environment, coupled with the influence of Mubai Buddhist scriptures and the little healing figure of Muwen running around, the atmosphere in the prison will naturally become more peaceful as time goes by.

Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, Mu Bai took advantage of the time when the little official who came to study Buddhism with him was in a calm mood after reading the scriptures, and inquired about the current situation of the villagers who were arrested with him.

He got a not-so-bad answer—most of the people were fine after the inspection, and now they are waiting to be released like Mu Bai, but a few people with doubtful identities were indeed interrogated.

Now those people have been sent to Kunming, but just in case, they still have to wait for a definite decree from Kunming before they can be released.

"If you're lucky, you'll be able to go back before the Chinese New Year." The clerk paused, then added, "I mean the Chinese New Year on the first day of the first lunar month, not the year of your Luoluo tribe."

There are many ethnic groups in Yunnan, and the festivals of different ethnic groups are also different.

The Luoluo people whose Mubai is affiliated celebrate the New Year in October or November of the lunar calendar, while the Mongolian Yuan people, like the Han people, regard the Lunar New Year as the New Year.

The difference is that the Chinese New Year is celebrated in red, while the auspicious color of the Mongolians from Daxue Mountain is white, so if you see people in white clothes on the street on the first day of the first lunar month here, it means that the Mongolians have not run away.

Having said that, in fact, neither the Mongolian nor the Luoluo people's name for that New Year was originally not the Chinese New Year.

The term "Nian" is a specialty of the Han people. Later, this concept spread to various places with the actions of the Han people, so the affected areas gradually equated their own festivals with significant commemorative significance with the New Year.

This kind of difference made a joke earlier, and then everyone developed the habit of supplementing explanations, especially between different races.

Although the Mongolian year will be two months later, Mu Bai feels that he can afford to wait, but the matter of clothes is more difficult. When he was brought here, the clothes he brought can only be used for summer and autumn. If it was winter, he might have to ask someone to help bring the clothes.

Although it was a little troublesome, Mu Bai was still a little happy that the dawn was in front of him anyway.

However, just when Mu Wen’s daily activities changed from various jumping activities to waving his small fists in front of the cell of his uncle and grandpa (here is a male prisoner) to show what he had learned the day before, and tenderly invited the grandpas and When I came to learn the boxing skills taught by brother brother, the little official brought a bad news.

"The spy from the Ming Dynasty was rescued." After the day's morning class, the little official hesitated for a long while holding the Buddhist scriptures he had copied, and then hesitantly told Mu Bai the news, and said it together. What's more, there is also the decision from above, "Kunming ordered Dalu Huachi to strictly check access, and..."

He paused, avoiding the young man's eyes and said: "In order to prevent the internal response from being released, no one in the prison is allowed to be released now, and..."

His voice weakened, "Even those who have nothing to do with this matter cannot be released."

The little official lowered his head, looking a little guilty, when he received the order, the little official wanted to curse.

Taking a step back, Mu Bai and his group may have been suspected of being spies when they were arrested, so it’s fine if they don’t release them at that time, why can’t the rest of the prisoners who are about to serve their sentences be released as well.

Shangfeng slapped his head and made a decision. It would be low-level civil servants like them who would face the furious prisoners.

And from his point of view, he, he also thinks Master Mu (yes, Mu Xiaobai has been upgraded to a master recently) they are quite innocent.

Although it had nothing to do with him, the little official felt that he was an accomplice when these words came out of his mouth.

At this moment, he heard a rustling sound, and after a while, the young boy stood by the prison door, and after reciting a Buddha's name, the young boy said: "It seems that we will get along for a long time. Besides Buddhist scriptures, do you want to learn something else?"

The little official raised his head in astonishment, and met a pair of shining eyes.

At that time, he felt that those eyes were full of tenderness and compassion, and he was very moved by it, but if he saw the boy's eyes again a few years later, he would definitely feel vigilant immediately. Because there are actually only two words written in these eyes - make trouble!

The author has something to say:

Mu Xiaobai: Come on, since you have a lot of time, let's pretend!
