Chapter 249: Only by being afraid can we go forward
Chen Changsheng handed him the torn fish and said, "I remember hearing you say before that you wanted to be a cruel and smart person."
The dog pursed his lips, "Yes..."
When I say the word 'yes', I feel a little guilty.
Chen Changsheng asked: "You have to be cruel and smart at the same time. If that's the case, why do you have to be in the outside world? In such a big environment, with frequent natural disasters and people like walking corpses, how to protect yourself may be what a smart person should think about.
Bar."
Gou'er opened his mouth. He didn't think what the other person said was unreasonable. On the contrary, it made sense.
Gou'er lowered his head and said, "I just think these are wrong."
Chen Changsheng said: "In the eyes of most people, they think this is how it should be."
"Why?"
The dog raised his head and asked: "Why is it right to live such a life-threatening life?"
Chen Changsheng said: "I heard you said you came here because of the flood in your hometown?"
"yes……"
"Actually, it's just like how you felt when facing that flood disaster. The wild beasts were pouring down. Did you ever think about going over to resist the flood in front of you?"
The dog opened his mouth, and he shook his head and said, "How can I stop him?"
"So that's what most people think."
Chen Changsheng said: "I don't know how many years ago, those people who were faltering faced the torrent of history and found that they seemed to have no power to resist, so they gave up and were eventually drowned."
The dog's lips were slightly open, and he was thinking, as if he had found something crucial.
"It's a thought!"
The dog exclaimed: "Is this the right idea? The idea of living! The idea of resisting!"
Chen Changsheng just smiled and said, "Let's eat fish."
The dog suddenly understood. He felt the thumping sound in his chest. He seemed to have found his direction, so he was very excited.
Chen Changsheng glanced at him and said, "Chen originally thought you would become a killer, but unexpectedly you turned out to be a Buddha."
The dog was stunned for a moment and asked: "What is killing? What is Buddha?"
Chen Changsheng just shook his head without explaining.
Gou'er looked at this man. It was only then that he realized how extraordinary this man was. If he could be by his side, he would be able to learn great skills.
After he returned, he worked as usual.
As autumn turned to winter, a gust of cold wind froze many people to death. The adults above brought some thicker clothes. Although they were thin, they still had one more thing to keep them alive.
It feels like deathly silence below the city platform every day.
Perhaps they also realize that it may be extremely difficult to survive this winter.
Gou'er didn't set his sights on these people who had come to the city early, but on the new ones.
He acted as a leader and led them to become familiar with the work here.
"That's how it is here. People die every day, and people fight to the death for dry biscuits every day. It's very difficult to change."
"Perhaps over time, you will even become as dull-eyed as them. You may appear to be alive, but in fact you are already dead."
The dog warned them, "Don't forget the past, don't become them, let alone die alive."
Although they didn't quite understand, they still nodded.
Dog serves as a guide to get them familiar with this place, and some people who come here alone often find him for help.
Dogs are not stingy either. If they are robbed of food, they will snatch it back. If not, they will share their own dry biscuits.
"Brother, you are a good person."
Someone said this to him, but the dog just shook his head.
"I'm not a good person. I just hope that you can all be like me. Only in this way can this place survive."
Over time, Gou'er gained a lot of prestige among a group of people, and many people were willing to follow him. This was also because he actively handled disputes in the city and was appreciated by the people above him. However, he only got two more pieces of dry biscuits.
Just one more piece of clothing means you still have to do the work that needs to be done.
Later, when the dog encountered something like grabbing dry biscuits, he would step forward to stop it.
"What does it have to do with you!!"
The person who failed to grab the dry biscuits yelled: "Stop pretending to be a good person here. Why didn't anyone help me when I was robbed? You hypocritical bitch, get out of here!"
The dog suddenly became silent. He did not care about the matter anymore, but lowered his head and left.
After nightfall, he came to the lake in the forest again.
The dog thought that the man might not be here after more than a month, but when he arrived, he saw the man sitting on the ground grilling fish.
There are two roasted ones.
Chen Changsheng looked at him and asked, "What happened again?"
The dog sat on the ground, shook his head and said, "It's not a big deal."
He gave many people hope of living, but also made many people hate him.
Gou'er told Chen Changsheng what happened this afternoon.
After hearing this, Chen Changsheng glanced at him and said, "Under such a situation, straightening up the rules is the best way. The adults above you don't care, you can take care of it, that's all."
The dog was stunned for a moment and said, "How do you care?"
"You need to make people fear you." Chen Changsheng said.
But Gou'er quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, if that's the case, wouldn't it be oppression? What's the difference between me and those adults who oppress everyone?"
"This is certainly not oppression."
Chen Changsheng said: "It depends on what you do. Sometimes only strong strength can restrain others."
The dog smacked his lips and thought for a long time.
"Let me try."
Chen Changsheng nodded slightly, and then handed him the grilled fish.
"Eat."
The dog took it and asked: "Do you have to eat two fish every day?"
"One piece."
"Then why did you bake two pieces?"
Chen Changsheng smiled and said, "I just caught one more fish today."
"That's my luck." said the dog.
Chen Changsheng nodded, "Indeed."
Chen Changsheng told the dog how to do it.
Gou Er thought a lot on the way back, and he also thought about it in the following days, but he still couldn't make a decision.
He would be frightened when he saw someone fighting for dry biscuits. In the past, he would rush to the front, but now he is retreating.
Until one day, he still watched with cold eyes.
The struggling man who was pinned to the ground suddenly shouted.
"Come and help me! Why do you help others but not me? Why, why!!"
The dog was stunned, and his hand holding the dry biscuit was trembling.
He didn't understand what he had done wrong.
Why do others regard his help as a right?
Wouldn't it be nice to have more kind thoughts?
Don't really want to do what he said...
Can we change the status quo by making people fear ourselves?
The dog's eyes were confused, and he couldn't tell the difference at all.
