One hundred and sixty-four, sacrifice the future

It took several pots of blood to wrap it up before the bandage was completed.

Li Ye can no longer move his right half of his shoulder. If he moves a little, it will hurt heartbroken, and may even tear the wound. Qiu'er and Yue'er don't cry anymore. Li Ye asked the two girls to take He Qian, who was asleep, to bed beside him, to sleep.

The little girl had tears in the corner of her eyes, and she slept very heavily while holding on to his palms. Li Ye had to resist the pain and moved her body to the edge of the bed.

Obviously, she was physically and mentally exhausted, and her mental fatigue was often more difficult to support than physical fatigue. Just like the line in the famous movie The Matrix series: The most powerful power and greatest defects of human beings all come from something called hope.

The spiritual world of human beings is the most fatal weakness, but it is also the most powerful force.

After everything stabilized, Qiu'er and Yue'er finally smiled.

But Wei Yubai, Wei Xingping and Wei Chaoren looked bad and seemed worried. Li Ye knew what they were worried about. They were in Guanbei for many years and were exposed to war. They often encountered such things, so they understood the seriousness of the matter.

Although Li Ye's back only had skin trauma, the wound was very deep and he lost a lot of blood. It was fatal in such an era.

What is fatal is not the wound itself, but the infection and collateral damage.

Soldiers in this era did not die under the enemy's weapons, but died from injuries. Once the wound is infected, it is almost a dead end. Whether it will be infected can only be left to fate.

Another type is to damage the bones. The bone marrow is mainly composed of fat. If it flows into the blood, it is very dangerous. At this time, it depends on luck. If the human body can create pussy and excrete the bone marrow mixed into the blood, it will be able to survive, and will be responsible for the fever and die of death.

The uncertain waiting for life and death is more painful and tormenting than direct death.

But Li Ye was not worried. He said with a funny look: "Don't worry, I won't have a fever."

The three of them were stunned, "So the prince knew." Wei Yubai said softly.

"Of course I know." After all, he was also a person who studied high school biology. Li Ye smiled and said, "Do you remember my strong liquor? Those wines are not the strongest. The ones who just cleaned the wounds were twice as strong. If you use such strong liquor to clean the wounds, you won't get inflammation or fever."

The three of them widened their eyes and Wei Yubai asked in disbelief: "Isn't the prince lying?"

Li Ye shook his head: "When did I lied to you?"

Wei Yubai looked at him, then nodded, and the sorrow on his eyebrows finally dissipated, but he was still worried after all. It seemed that they could not fully believe in the effects of alcohol disinfection and sterilization, but it was not their fault. After all, no emerging thing could be trusted immediately.

Later, Li Ye talked about what happened today in order to dilute the atmosphere. He could not rest yet. Before the matter came to an end, he had to be in charge. After all, he was the only one in charge of the entire palace.

I was idle and told everyone what happened today. After all, everyone was very curious. Wei Yubai had already stopped talking and wanted to ask several times. As he was talking, everyone around him was fascinated by the candlelight. The candlelight was dim and the figures were swaying. Until the sky outside the house was completely dark, Li Ye slowly finished speaking and everyone came back to his senses.

Wei Yubai felt a little sad and heartbroken, and forced a smile and said, "The prince said that he was a gentleman, but now he seems to be just a brave man."

Wei Xingping also took a deep breath: "Kill four of them by one person, prince, you can go to Guanbei to be a brave general."

Li Ye grinned and said, "Ordinary people are just forced to jump over the wall with a desperate situation."

Wei Chaoren shook his head slowly: "The prince is too humble. I have been guarding the north of Guanbei for decades and have seen countless people. If this were a brave ordinary person like the prince, he would have already fought to the Xijing of Liao."

As he said that, the old man sighed: "It's true that the prince has few contacts and does not know about military affairs, but in fact... Although he is anxious to jump over the wall, many people, whether it is Liao or Jing, would rather escape or be captured at the critical moment of life and death, and be killed as a livestock without any resistance than jump over the wall. I can't figure out what this is......"

Li was silent. He knew that what Wei Chaoren said was true and that he knew what this was, but he couldn't explain it clearly to the old man because it was a psychological problem.

Later studies have confirmed that people have the tendency to "sacrifice the future and enjoy the present".

"Does Lord Wei know? Someone once told me this story?" Li Ye thought for a while, held He Qian's hand and said to him: "A wise man passed by a village and saw a beggar squatting at the entrance of the village. He said to the beggar, "I want to give you charity."

But now you have two choices. First, I will give you four cents today; second, I will not give you money today, but you will come here tomorrow. I will give you six cents at that time. Do you want four cents today or six cents tomorrow?"

Everyone was attracted by his words. When Yue'er saw that he didn't say it for a long time, she couldn't help but act coquettishly: "Criminal, what about later?"

"Later..." Li Ye smiled slightly: "Later, the beggar chose to ask for four words without hesitation."

Wei Xingping interrupted, "This beggar is so stupid. Isn't it a little more than a day to wait?"

Li Ye said: "That's right, so many villagers passing by at that time laughed at the beggar for being stupid, so the wise man also gave them the same choice, today's four essays or tomorrow's six essays? As a result, more than 90% of people asked for four essays."

When Wei Chaoren frowned when he heard this, he seemed to have gained something, but he didn't understand.

Li Ye continued: "This is the truth. Those soldiers who cannot be desperate to jump over the wall until death on the battlefield are the people who choose Siwen, and their mental state is the same.

Because they always think about postponing the current difficulties to the future to solve them, so as to paralyze themselves.

It’s like when you are tired of doing work, you think about going to do it tomorrow. I heard that the Liao people were going to kill me, but then I thought that it would be a matter of a few days later. I think about the countermeasures tomorrow. When I get to the battlefield, I want to run away first when I fight. What should I do in the future? Then I think about a solution slowly. Saving my life is important..."

"How could this happen? You shouldn't be in a life or death juncture, you shouldn't be... You should fight to the death..." Wei Xingping wanted to refute, but he couldn't find the reason and was powerless to speak.

Li Ye understands how much impact this psychological tendency to "sacrifice the future" has on humanity.

Most people will be like Wei Xingping, who take it for granted that humans will naturally rise up and fight hard when they are forced into desperate situations. If things are so easy, then the history of human development and progress will not be so tortuous and difficult.

On the contrary, a large number of psychological research has confirmed that in desperate situations, humans' psychological tendency to "sacrifice the future" will cause repeated compromises, triggering a series of adverse reactions: numbness, frustration, carelessness, self-giving, loss of trust, indecision, carelessness, and mental collapse long before the body collapses.

"The defeat is like a mountain of fall!" Wei Chaoren spit out a few words, and Wei Yubai also sighed and nodded. It was obvious that his father and sister had experienced more and understood more than Wei Xingping's younger brother...

Li Ye nodded: "It can be said in general."
