Volume 1 The Boys Meet in Weishi Chapter 53 A Chat with Zhou Ce
After several pulls between the city lord and Li Yu, the city lord finally couldn't help but said, "I actually want to thank you today. If you hadn't had a conflict with that group of people and they were the first to attack you, I wouldn't have had an excuse to deal with them."
, give them a blow."
Li Yu smiled and said, "Master actually told me that you will thank me for this."
Seeing that Li Yu finally revealed what he was saying, the city lord quickly answered and asked, "Oh? What did your master say?"
Li Yu said, "Master didn't actually say anything. He just said that you actually dislike them. It's just that they haven't touched the bottom line of Tianmen Town these days, so you are also tolerant."
After hearing this, the city lord pondered a little, but couldn't help but ask, "Then, do you know what role your master played in this matter?"
Li Yu asked in confusion, "What role do you think my master needs to play?"
"I don't mean anything else. It's just that your master has never followed an ordinary path. I'm afraid that he has plans and doesn't tell me, so he will trick me." The last sentence contained a bit of complaint. It's not that Li Yu couldn't hear it.
I asked the city lord instead, "I know that my master is sometimes eclectic, but do you think he caused you any trouble when he was in Tianmen Town?"
After hearing this, the city lord didn't hesitate much and continued, "That's what I said, but I always feel a little uneasy."
Li Yu thought for a moment and then said, "Lord City Lord, I can't say whether master has any other plans. After all, I am a disciple and he is my master. There is no reason for a disciple to ask the master what he wants to do.
All I can say is that Master has always been for the good of Tianmen Town. For this reason, no matter what he wants to do, I think he has his reasons, and you should support him, right?"
These words were reasonable and well-founded, neither humble nor arrogant. The city lord could not criticize him after hearing this. Indeed, due to his status as the city lord, he should take care of the people in Tianmen Town. This is what is called seeking political power in his position.
But what if he is not just the city lord!
Thinking of this, the city lord could only smile helplessly in his heart.
Seeing that he couldn't ask anything else, the city lord had no choice but to chat with Li Yu for a few more words, then gave Li Yu a thank you gift and sent him back.
Since Zhou Ce had almost settled the matter, he and Li Yu paid their respects to the city lord.
On the way, Zhou Ce asked Li Yu where he was going. Li Yu looked at the sky and found that it was almost time for lunch, so he said, "I'm going to buy some food and go back. What about you, Brother Zhou?"
Zhou Ce then said, "Then let me go with you. I don't have anything to eat at home."
The two of them were bored as they walked on the road. They had nothing to say and were a little embarrassed. Li Yu had nothing to say and asked, "Brother Zhou, where is your hometown?"
Zhou Ce didn't expect that Li Yu would ask him this question today. In the past, when they got along, most of the time they talked about what happened in Tianmen Town, or what they learned from the book school. Very rarely, they would talk about Li Yu.
The past between the two of them with Zhou Ce.
In fact, Shen Xun told the two of them in private that the other had a very hard life in the past. Both of them were abandoned by their families and lived outside. By chance, they came to live in Tianmen Town. Therefore, out of
Out of respect for both parties, they both tacitly refrained from talking about each other's past, and only talked about their future ideals and current life.
He was a little surprised when he heard Li Yu ask this unexpectedly, "I don't know the details. I only know that when I was a child, I lived in a small courtyard and rarely went out. Later, Uncle Zhang came and took me back to Tianmen Town.
."
Li Yu nodded and had nothing to say for a moment. Zhou Ce asked him again, "What about you? Are there anyone else in your family?"
Li Yuyun said calmly, "No more. I was picked up by Master. If it weren't for Master, I would have died long ago."
When Zhou Ce heard what he said, he suddenly felt that Li Yu was only twelve years old, three years younger than him. Sometimes when he saw other people falling in love with each other, he would inevitably feel bitter in his heart, let alone Li Yu! He reached out and patted him.
He put his head on his shoulder to express comfort and said, "We can live in Tianmen Town now. This shows that God is still good to us. What do you think?"
After hearing this, Li Yu smiled and said, "That's right, God still leaves room for us. But, Brother Zhou, do you know that your family is still alive?"
This question is somewhat direct, but also somewhat probing.
Zhou Ce couldn't help but said with interest, "Why do you ask that?"
"Intuition, didn't you ask me if there are other people in my family? According to your question, you should be sure that you still have family members in the world."
Zhou Ce did not expect that Li Yu was so sensitive that he could sense even the smallest details. He replied, "I know there are still people here, but I don't know where they are now."
"Then if they come, will you go with them? Or, will you forgive them?" Li Yu asked.
Zhou Ce had only briefly discussed this issue with Shen Xun before. A few years ago, he went to the Shen family for dinner after school. During the dinner, he watched the Shen family members loving each other. He couldn't help but feel envious. Later, Shen Xun comforted him.
At that time, Qianqian talked about this issue. At that time, he complained about his relatives, so his answer was a bit fierce, "Why should I forgive? They gave up on me in the first place. Why should I go back when they want me?"
, don’t I have the right to choose on my own? They have ignored me for so many years and took me away when they wanted me. In this case, why did they give up on me in the first place.”
But now that things have changed, if he were to withdraw himself from the environment at that time, his answer should not be like this. Later, he also thought about what he would choose if this day really came to pass, but he couldn't do anything when it came to it.
Make a choice. However, Li Yu asked him like this today, which gave him a chance to make a choice, "I think I will still go back. If this day comes, I can't live with myself!"
After saying that, he asked Li Yu, "Do you think I'm a philistine?"
Li Yu asked in confusion, "Why should I think you are a philistine?"
"Because I easily let go of the fact that they abandoned me, and chose to forgive the past and leave with them."
Li Yu smiled and said, "I don't think you are a philistine, let alone that you have done something wrong. Although I don't like to learn the principles in the book, I also know one thing. You live alone in Tianmen Town, and it is very difficult to think about it.
It's difficult. If there is a choice that can make you live a better life and have the warmth of your family, then choosing to forgive the past is actually letting go of the pain and resentment in your heart so that you will no longer suffer the pain of the past. What you do is human.
It’s only natural, why can’t you make yourself feel better!”
After listening to this, Zhou Ce concluded, "So, do you mean that as long as it makes you feel better, you can make it?"
Li Yu nodded and continued, "I think so. But there is another point. My grandma told me in the past, don't hurt others when you want to make yourself feel better. This is the bottom line."
After hearing this, Zhou Ce asked again, "But what if there is a conflict between the two? Should I help myself or others?"
Li Yu also asked his grandma this question. He still remembered that his grandma held him, touched his head, and said, "Xiao Yu'er, this question stumped grandma. Then let me ask you, if your
You can only choose between saving grandma and the village, who will you choose?"
Li Yu said without thinking at that time, "Of course it's grandma."
"Then if your life can only be chosen between saving Grandma and the whole village, who would you choose?" Grandma continued to ask.
Li Yu said without hesitation, "Of course it's grandma."
Grandma smiled lovingly and continued to ask, "Then if Xiao Yu'er has someone who is very good to you, and your life can only be chosen between saving him and Grandma, how will you choose?"
Grandma's question actually knocked Li Yu away, because he thought of his grandfather, the man who also gave him warmth. If there was such a choice, he really didn't know how to choose.
Grandma saw that he didn't answer, as if he was struggling, so she touched his head and explained, "Don't worry about it, Xiao Yu'er. There is no best answer to this question, because each of us has the best answer in our hearts."
Important people all have a shot that seems fair, but is really not fair at all. If you put this issue on a scale and weigh it, you can only tell who is more worthy of your efforts, but you can't judge right or wrong."
Li Yu continued to ask, "But how should I choose?"
Grandma said, "Why don't you ask the other party if he needs it? Whether the choice is successful or not is a matter for both parties. If the other party doesn't want it, if you give it back to him, wouldn't it be against his own will?"
"But what if they want both of them?"
Grandma seemed to have thought of something, and said with some sentimentality, "People who are really good to you, people who are worthy of your giving up your own life to save, will not put their own safety and everything they own more seriously than you."
Later, Li Yu often thought about this issue and found that his grandma only talked about one aspect, that is, who you think is more important in your heart and who deserves to be good to the other person. But in reality, the choice you have to face will be
It is much more complicated, such as the feelings of family and country, the righteousness of life and death, and even the future of the entire world. These cannot be measured by one's own inner self.
But that is what happened later.
At this time, Li Yu heard Zhou Ce's question and combined with his grandmother's answer, he said, "People who deserve your help will not make things difficult for you. And there is no need for us to make things difficult for people who make things difficult for you."
."
I have to say that in this aspect, Zhou Ce and Li Yu are actually very similar. They are both egoists at heart. This may also be related to their past. Only what they can control is their own, and they can let go.
There are very few in my heart.
