The Sensory Animals of Ston Hill

Dr. Durand came early in the morning and begged Grace's forgiveness with an almost mournful emotion.

"Whom shall I forgive? Konstantinus? That's impossible. Or do you want me to forgive you personally, because this new system you helped to create gives him that opportunity?" He deliberately returned to the old customs, using Liao Jing said, "Do you still think that new ones are good? Anyway, I strongly oppose this, and the peasants who participated in the Baowang rebellion are even more opposed to this! How many people died in the civil war in the rebel province? Baowang Army, Republican Volunteers , How many casualties are there combined? Is there 20? Or is there already [-]? What’s wrong with those peasants who joined the royalist party? Continue to respect the king and still go to church every Sunday! The rebels you refer to are the same as those young volunteers, they are the same ordinary citizens who long for peace and food and clothing!"

Dr. Durand was completely crushed by him in a crushed state.

Grace was silent for a while, then said, "Sorry, Dr. Durand, I shouldn't have talked to you like that. It's not your fault."

He asked the landlady for water, and got an immediate answer.The landlady and her young son had been guarding the landing of the stairs since Dr. Durand had come upstairs.

Dr. Durand was holding the water glass with trembling hands. After a while, he couldn't help laughing at himself, saying that he finally knew why Konstantinos collapsed, and he confessed his crime to himself.Dr. Durand said that he had always thought that George was the one with an iron will, but now it seems that he is far inferior to Grace.

"Doctor Durand, do you know what your biggest mistake was?"

Dr. Durand looked up at him, "I, I shouldn't, express my views through other people's mouths, should I?"

Grace sighed regretfully. Dr. Durand was clearly a wise person, but he was too timid.It takes a lot of courage to have an ideal and hope it will come true, but it also requires extraordinary ability.

He said to Dr. Durand: "That's exactly how you endow people who don't deserve it with respect and affection, and these two things mean power in the current system."

"Dr. Durand, have you ever wondered why the old system is hated? The feudal inheritance system, the land tax system, the system of buying officials, the pardon system, all these are just results, and the reason for all results is only one: that is, the Deserving people have power that doesn't match their morals and talents. It's the source of all injustice."

"Doctor Durand, you, the citizens of the capital, you are all longing for a new world, but the new world you long for is just changing the names and backgrounds of those high-ranking people, but the essence remains unchanged? We pay At such a high price, is it just a new old system to replace the previous old system, and most people are still poor and hungry? If this is the case, then similar disasters will continue to be staged, ten years, decades , or even 100 years, it will never stop.”

Dr. Durand wept bitterly, and Grace looked at him pityingly.

"Dr. Durand, I understand your confusion and helplessness, because I have also experienced this. I can't tell you where the way out is, I can only talk about my own experience: in everything, you have to rely on yourself first, not rely on others, Only then can there be hope. Dr. Durand, you have chosen such a career, you have to strengthen yourself and let your wisdom and virtues really work.”

Dr. Durand tried to calm himself down, and looked at Grace with greatly shocked eyes: "Miss Grace, you don't want us to fail."

Grace's calm face suddenly twitched, he clenched his teeth, and controlled the distortion of his facial features, leaving only his lips trembling slightly.

He quickly overcame the sudden pain, and said in a low voice: "'You' are also 'us', and we all paid a huge price... How could I hope that 'us' would fail?"

He stood up and looked at the street outside the window, where young people in volunteer uniforms always passed by, some of them looked like children.He heard from the landlady that the minimum age for volunteers has been lowered to 16.

"Dr. Durand, decades ago, Rousseau asked: What do you get if you just burn everything? In Rousseau's day, this could be just a question; but at the moment of the incident, the blood is bleeding every day. At this moment, you must find the answer."

He felt the pain again, he had to hold on to the window sill, and he didn't dare to look at the young men in military uniforms outside the window.

"Don't lose any more," he said to Dr. Durand.
