Volume 2: The Big Lie Chapter 56: The Scales
"Do you want to continue?" Jiang Qinghan asked suddenly.
"What?"
The stars in the night sky were reflected in the water, twinkling and twinkling, like pearls falling into a black porcelain plate.
Jiang Qinghan turned his head, his melodious eyes were like a timeless poem: "I mean those things about Enron, do you want to continue to investigate?"
"Perhaps. β
"Perhaps?"
"Probably. β
"Probably?" Jiang Qinghan raised his voice, seemingly dissatisfied with Qianzhou's perfunctory.
"I don't know. Qianzhou smiled bitterly, "Although reason tells me that this matter has nothing to do with me at all. It's the right thing to do right away, but ......"
"But what?" she asked.
Qianzhou paused: "But I'm very unwilling." I have worked so hard for Enron in the past, not to mention that I still treat her as my own student - how can any teacher leave her student alone?"
"You've always been like that. Jiang Qinghan snorted lightly, and there was a bit of inexplicability in his tone, "When I was in Luntai, too, [Fire Crow] actually has nothing to do with you at all, right?"
"Wasn't that taken by your senior sister to catch the strong man?"
"Come on, Senior Sister is to say. If you really don't want to care, can she force you to fail?"
Qianzhou was dumbfounded.
Jiang Qinghan grabbed Qianzhou, and the two lay on their backs on the grass together.
The night sky of the white desert is deep and far, and if you calm down, you can see the tracks of the stars moving slowly. The innumerable stars move according to pre-designed orbits, and there is a subtle and magnificent beauty in this way. Occasionally, unruly points of light slipped from the sky with their long tails, not knowing if it was a meteor or something else.
Neither of them spoke, just quietly admiring the night sky. The voices of the crowd not far away seemed to be silenced in the air, and Qianzhou could only hear the slight breathing of the girl beside him and his own powerful heartbeat.
At that moment, Qianshu didn't want to think about anything. It doesn't matter if you are a natural disaster or a crowned one, an abyss or something else. To hell with it!
Qianzhou only hopes that time can stop at this moment, turning this moment of tranquility into eternity.
Rubbing his fingers over the fragment, Qianzhou couldn't help but think of the famous passage of "Faust": "Time, please stop." For everything you compare with is magnificent. οΌVerweile doch, du bist so schΓΆnοΌβ
"I'm tired. In the end, it was Jiang Qinghan who took the lead in breaking the silence.
"What do you mean?" Chishu was puzzled.
"Don't you notice? You've been frowning all the time when you've been alone for the past two days. β
Qianzhou subconsciously touched his cheek: "Is it so obvious? β
"It's not just me, I think I can see it in the past. It's just that she knew you didn't want to say it, so she didn't ask. β
"That's right. Qianzhou laughed self-deprecatingly. I didn't expect that I, as a teacher, would still make students worry.
"So what do you know? Is it a dangerous thing? You know, when you were in Luntai. Even at the last minute, you didn't show such an expression. Jiang Qinghan's voice was calm, but Qianzhou could still hear the sense of concern in it.
Hearing the girl's words, Qianzhou's heart felt a little warm. I just wanted to speak, but I was robbed by the girl.
"It's okay if you don't want to say it, but you really should take a break. Jiang Qinghan turned his head to look at Qianzhou, and the warm breath hit Qianzhou's face when he spoke, making him tickle.
"From the [Fire Raven] of Luntai, to the bounty of the [Bird without Pupils], to the white desert, and then to Enron. You've been dealing with all sorts of troubles and never taking a break. Can't you just take the initiative to avoid it? You really think of yourself as a savior!"
"I ......" Qianzhou opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
"I know I'm not qualified to talk about you. Jiang Qinghan's voice was muffled, as if he was about to cry, "If it weren't for my accosting and request in Luntai, you wouldn't have been involved in the follow-up troubles." In less than half a month, you have already walked on the brink of death several times. β
"No, it's not. Qianzhou interrupted Jiang Qinghan's words, "If I had been alone, I wouldn't have known you." What's the point of being alone?"
And if it's not you, I guess I've been detained by a "black book" from Jinyiwei.
Qianzhou pressed this sentence to the bottom of his heart.
"A thousand boats. β
"Huh?"
"You know what, you keep running like there's something chasing you from behind. I want to help, but I can't keep up with you. Even if you fall, you don't even think about holding someone's outstretched hand. Am I right?" Jiang Qinghan's voice came from the wind, like the flying flakes of a tree, but it pressed heavily on Qianzhou's heart.
Qianzhou couldn't help but start reflecting on the changes he had changed since he came into this world. From the initial fear and confusion to the current positive, or too positive.
I seem to subconsciously take all the bad things as my responsibility. In the dead of night, Qianzhou also thought: If I don't write, will these tragedies still happen?
There is no answer to this question. Qianzhou can only force himself to keep moving forward and change the tragedy in front of him as much as possible.
So what was the purpose of going to see Lan Ting? Do you want to say sorry to her personally, or is it for something else? Is the purpose to apologize, or is it to make your heart feel better? Maybe you are a selfish person at all, and the so-called good deeds are just to avoid the moral condemnation in your heart?
Just when Qianzhou was thinking wildly, Jiang Qinghan held Qianzhou's hand.
"Don't be cranky. Jiang Qinghan held Qianzhou's hand firmly in his palm, "Even if you can't see clearly, but in my eyes, you have always been honest and kind." Not to mention anything else, the fire in your heart can't be faked!"
"Is that so?"
"I remember saying that. Mr. Qianzhou, please be confident! You are better than most people, and if you look back at your past, how many people but you can do it?"
"Really. Qianzhou couldn't help laughing, "I always thought I had grown up, but in the end I was still like a child." β
"yes, you're just a kid who hasn't grown up. Jiang Qinghan also laughed.
"If you could, I would like you to be less kind. As if thinking of something, Jiang Qinghan said, "You must know that if you treat others with kindness, others may not reciprocate with kindness." β
"Of course, I understand that kindness should have an edge. β
"No, that's not what I meant. Jiang Qinghan shook his head, "You are too gentle in life, you must know - punishing evil is promoting good." There is no perfect way in the world, and there is always something to be discarded. β
"It's not that easy. Everything in the world is not a weight at both ends of the scale, how to decide who to keep and who to abandon?" Qianzhou did not approve.
"Why not? Since we can't tell the difference in the first place, why can't we just weigh good and evil at both ends of the scale?
Chishu still found it difficult to agree with the girl's concept, so she gave an example: "What if two ships break down at sea, but only one of them can be repaired with parts?"
"The one with a lot of people. Jiang Qinghan's answer was neat.
"What if the people on the other boat don't agree to resist?"
"Killed. The girl's answer was still categorical, "Since they themselves know that this is the best solution, but they still decide to use violence, then they should be prepared to suffer the consequences." β
"This ......" Qianzhou still felt that something was wrong, so he changed the question.
"Then if there are two tracks, one is abandoned and one is still in use. The abandoned one has only one obedient child, while the other has a bunch of naughty children. Now that the train's brakes are out of order, you can only choose one of the two tracks, which one will you choose?"
"Of course it's being used. Again, if you make your own choice, be prepared to suffer the consequences. No one will pay for your mistakes. β
"That ......" Qianzhou still wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Jiang Qinghan.
"My opinion is simple. Repay virtue with virtue and repay grievances with straightforwardness. Everything in the world is inherently unclear, and it is better to weigh it by the scales. Place life at both ends first, and add the weight of good and evil, right and wrong, in turn. The heavier end is the code of conduct for me!"
Qianzhou was speechless.
The meaning of the maiden is very simple: sacrifice the few to save the many, sacrifice the evil to save the good, and sacrifice the wrong to save the right.
Both ends of the scale, at a glance!
The two tacitly did not continue to discuss this topic.
For a moment, the two fell into silence again, and only the whirring wind blew past them.
Note: The main content of this chapter is the change of Qianzhou's psychology and the collision of the two people's concepts.
Qianzhou is neither a genius nor a soldier king, he is just an ordinary teenager. Therefore, it is difficult for him to be as comfortable as the protagonist of the novel after crossing over.
He was terrified and confused, so he put a mask on himself and forced himself to keep moving forward. And what Jiang Qinghan did was to go into Qianzhou's heart and smash this mask, telling him: You don't need this, you are already good enough on your own!
The other is Jiang Qinghan.
She is not a vase character in my design, she has her own philosophy and ideas, which is something that will never be compromised. Although I have written a lot about her in this volume, I still feel that her image is very thin. But next, there will be an exclusive plot of Jiang Qinghan. That's her conflict with the idea of a thousand boats, which is higher than emotion. So, in this chapter, I laid the groundwork for the follow-up.
I hope that the image of this girl will come to life.
Finally, if anyone reads, please squeak, thank you.
