Chapter 87 Emergence
Many real lies are pretending to be happy, while many real lies are helpless.
Chen An didn't know whether the little girl believed his lies, but he knew that he must have hurt the little girl's heart.
The little girl once cried and asked, "If my uncle was a god, could you take Yaoyao back to heaven with me?"
Chen An answered, no, because only gods can return to heaven.
That night, the little girl covered herself in the quilt and sobbed all night, while Chen An sat under the corner of the house and lost all night.
The so-called troubles in life are nothing more than twelve words.
I can't let go, I can't think about it, I can't see through, and I can't forget it.
And Chen An now takes up all these twelve words.
He is a person who seems rational but is actually emotional at heart. Although he maintains a rational attitude towards life most of the time, once he acts emotionally, he will inevitably do something that ordinary people cannot understand.
However, his nature is rarely exposed under the constraints of modern society. However, when he came to this backward feudal society, and his extraordinary individual strength, his behavior became increasingly arbitrary.
I am a hero.
I am a great hero.
I have justice in my heart, I see injustice on the road, and I am fearless.
But--
He is not a hero, nor a hero, but an executioner who becomes distorted because of his personal selfishness.
It turns out that heroes and heroes are not that easy to behave. Many times, what you think is the right thing may not be correct in the eyes of others, and sometimes what you think is the wrong thing may not be really wrong.
Everything has its own two sides, and the attitude depends on your position.
But you cannot stick to your own position without ignoring the other person's position. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you firmly be firm in your original intention.
Chen An now needs a psychologist because he deeply felt that he seemed to have done something wrong, but in the situation, he could not see clearly the truth behind the fog of his thoughts and eyes. If someone could guide him out of the fog, perhaps his heart would no longer be confused.
"Uncle, will you come back from heaven in the future?"
The next day, the little girl woke up with red eyes and asked Chen An about this.
"Of course, because besides Yaoyao, there is another important person waiting for uncle to go back."
Chen An gently stroked the little girl's head and said.
"Who is another important person? Is it more important than Yaoyao?" said the little girl.
"She is as important as Yaoyao, but she is not from Yaoyao's world." Chen An explained patiently.
"Isn't this world?" the little girl said in a more confused way.
"Yes, because the world is bigger and bigger than Yaoyao thinks..."
In the days that followed, the little girl rarely played with the children in the village. Since she knew that Chen An would leave, she basically hanged around Chen An every day. Whether it was hunting in the mountains or fishing in the river, Chen An would take her with her and teach her some fighting and self-defense skills in her free time.
Considering the little girl's education issues, he also deliberately "picked up" a family from outside to study.
At this moment, the Dali Dynasty was in turmoil. In just a few months, Dali's rule had been corrupted to an extreme level. In the battle of Jiangzhou, Dali's army, which claimed to be 300,000, was wiped out in the decisive battle with the Northern Barbarians. Rebels from all over the country took advantage of the situation to rise up. Among them, Wang Dong, the leader of the victims who had rioted in Lang County, Qingzhou, suddenly captured the prefectures and counties in Qingzhou and claimed to be the governor of Qingzhou to the outside world.
The Xuanlin Prefecture, the Yanzhou capital, even caused an incident of sending troops to separatist and independent power, and even indulged soldiers to plunder supplies everywhere to fight against the rebels in the court. For a time, everyone in the county towns in Yanzhou were in danger, and many wealthy families began to flee south with their families.
Once when he was out, Chen An happened to encounter a fleeing family on the road and was robbed by more than a dozen rioters. After repelling these rioters to rescue the family, Chen An learned that Guping County had been occupied by rebels sent by Yanzhou military envoys, and many families in the county fled in a hurry.
This family originally had about twenty people, but unfortunately most of them died under the swords of the rioters. When Chen An arrived, there were only four people left in the family, namely a brother and sister and his mother and grandmother.
When Chen An learned that this family was a poet and scholar in Guping County, and that the young man who survived was a student preparing for the next year's examination, he immediately stated that he could provide this family with a safe residence, provided that the young man had to serve as a teacher for a group of children.
The young man agreed only after obtaining the consent of his mother and grandmother, and then Chen An took the family back to the village.
The young man's surname is Xu, and Chen An usually calls him Xu Sheng. He seems to be quite prejudiced in educating women. The restless person, the little girl, also doesn't like Xu Sheng's attitude of showing a bad face all day long. They have had conflicts with each other several times, and Chen An needs to mediate each other every time.
On the contrary, Xu Sheng's young sister has a good relationship with the little girl. Whenever Chen An is inconvenient to take care of the little girl, she will play with Xu Sheng's sister.
In order not to cause other trouble, Chen An had a discussion with the elderly in the village. They could meet the living needs of Xu Sheng's family in all aspects of the village, but Xu Sheng's family must not leave the village. If they go out and bring back some unknown people, it is inevitable that the peace of this small village will be disturbed, and even a catastrophe may be caused.
Don’t doubt Chen An’s status in the village. Months are enough to establish great prestige among the villagers. Especially once, after he brought back a tiger and a huge wild boar during the hunting period, the whole village was basically sensational. Even the villagers looked at Chen An with respect. Some bold and unrestrained village women once asked Chen An to see him...
After all, the more backward and barbaric the place is, the more you worship the strong.
As a result, Chen An walked around the women in the village for many days because he couldn't stand the women's passionate eyes that wanted to swallow in one bite.
In fact, the biggest change that life in the mountain village brought to Chen An was peace of mind.
Only by staying away from the hustle and bustle of the world may one gain a moment of spiritual tranquility. No wonder monks and Taoists like to practice in the undisturbed mountains and forests.
At least, he can now treat every day of life with a normal heart.
Looking back at the footprints he left in this world, it seems that blood is only with him along the way.
Conflicts and conflicts happen every moment, and he is like a small boat in the ocean, always getting helplessly involved.
He began to get used to raising the butcher's knife to solve the problem, but in the end he put down the butcher's knife and returned to the countryside.
He did not become a Buddha, but he no longer needed a butcher knife in his life.
A certain morning when winter goes and spring comes.
Chen An suddenly felt blessed and thought that he might be leaving.
He called many people and arranged his funeral one by one.
The little girl kept crying while holding his thighs, as if she had noticed a cruel fact that she would never accept.
Afterwards, many people witnessed a miracle that would never be forgotten in their lives.
Chen An's body turned into stars and ascended into feathers.
This was also the first time he had left the world he had traveled with a clear consciousness.
When the body was undergoing changes, Chen An could no longer say anything, and he didn't even feel the dissipation of his body.
He looked at the little girl who was crying desperately but grabbed her with both hands, and finally opened his mouth with a smile.
