    Stepping out of the inn, the bright autumn sun shone dazzlingly. Zhen Xiaosi squinted, gazing towards the direction of the execution ground. He couldn't see the execution ground, but he could imagine it: that moon-white robe fluttering for the last time in the autumn wind, that sword named "Broken Net" perhaps to be confiscated, but the voice within the sword—those voices reciting Mozi, Zhuangzi, and On the Origin of Species—had already been released into the air, becoming part of the spiritual atmosphere of this nation, waiting to be breathed into the future… Xiaosi remembered Shen Hengqiu's last words: "Add three slices of ginger. Thoughts also need to spread out, not just be contained within the heart." Yes, thoughts need to spread out. They need to spread from the heart of one person to the bloodline of a nation; they need to spread from the execution ground of one era to the memories of all eras. Zhen Xiaosi shouldered his bag and walked into the autumn streets of Beijing. The pharmacy on the street had just opened, the clerk was taking down the door panels, and the aroma of medicine filled the entire street. As he passed by, he overheard the shopkeeper instructing his apprentice: "Remember, using medicine is like using troops. Each has its own role, like a ruler, minister, assistant, and envoy. But most importantly—you must have the courage to use potent and dangerous medicines."
