23. Garden Talk (5)

"Well, you're right! Since I am a 'destined person' chosen by the gods, then I should scrupulously abide by my duties and do what I can do! So, if you have any requests, just mention them! As long as I can do it, I will definitely agree!"

Qiu Yueze, who has always been good at hiding his feelings, could not hide the pride that gradually began to swell in his heart when he spoke at the moment.

Gao Ran saw it, although she didn't show anything on the surface, she couldn't help but be a little surprised by it in her heart!

She didn't expect that Qiu Yueze would be so devout to the "gods"!

Although there is no religion in this country that has developed and begun to take shape, it seems that ideas of a religious nature are deeply rooted in the hearts of everyone here......

I am afraid that now, there is only one "fire" that will completely ignite the budding thoughts in their hearts, make them flourish, and finally truly become an indestructible faith in their hearts!

Speaking of "faith", though......

Even if Gao Ran didn't believe in any religion in her previous life, or the "science" that people often refer to, she also has her own beliefs!

She believes in "nature".

She believes that the reason why she exists as "she" is only because the real she is the will, not the shell.

And what she understands as "nature" is a kind of "voice" that she can vaguely perceive in the depths of her heart when her mind is still, which she thinks does not actually belong to herself—that "voice," she thinks, is "providence"—that is, "the will of nature."

Because of this, she believes that people can actually communicate with "nature"!

As long as a person still retains his simple and good soul in the depths of his heart, then when he is honest with his soul, he may be able to perceive the "will of nature".

In his previous life, Gao Ran often asked himself three questions:

Where are you from?

Where are you going?

Who should you really talk to and who you should recount?

And for many years, she often tried to answer these three questions in her mind......

However, in the end, it was not until the short moment when she was about to be hit by a car and seemed to have foreseen that she was about to die in the next second, that she unexpectedly found the answer she had been looking for!

However, what she didn't expect was that the answer she had paid for with her life was unexpectedly so simple - and the answers to those three questions were exactly the same!

The answer she gave herself was, "'I' comes from the 'natural will', 'I' wants to go to the 'natural will', return to it and become one with it, and 'I', the object to whom I should really pour out my heart and recount my experience, is the 'natural will'." ”

And the "I" mentioned here is Gao Ran's own spiritual will and self-consciousness.

She believes that her self-consciousness actually originates from the "natural will" and is part of the "natural will", so the answer she was looking for in her previous life was actually the "natural will".

And the "will of nature" has truly become the only clear "faith" in Gao Ran's heart from the moment she found it!

Because he has his own "faith" and his own undoubted belief, Gao Ran can understand very well the impact that "faith" can have on people!

She knows that once the "faith" is finally formed, and the believer's attitude towards the "faith" is religious, then the "faith" will naturally merge with the believer's spiritual will, affecting every aspect of his thoughts, and then affecting all aspects of his life, and then profoundly affecting his whole life!

Therefore, for "faith", Gao Ran has always looked at it with awe.

As for the different "beliefs" in the hearts of different people, Gao Ran feels that as long as those "beliefs" can promote humanity, justice, intentional growth, benevolence, and the interests of the human community, she will respect them.

thought of her past life, and then thought of the influence she had caused on Qiu Yueze now, which was obviously far beyond what she had expected......

She suddenly felt that she seemed to be underestimating the devotion of the people here to the belief in the "gods......

When he realized that his lie seemed to have offended Qiu Yueze's piety towards the "gods", Gao Ran couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his conscience......

However, she couldn't tell her lies.

Otherwise, how can she explain why "she" is in this world?!

Thinking of this, Gao Ran himself began to have a little doubt - perhaps, the arrival of "her" is really "providence", maybe it is also possible!

Anyway, in her opinion, apart from the "force of nature" that she thinks can have this ability and bring "her" into this world, she really can't think of any other power that can bring "her" here?!

In her opinion, her rebirth alone was enough to make her unbelievable!

"If this qiē is really 'providential'...... Then maybe there really is a 'god' in zài......"

After thinking about it, Gao Ran unconsciously became a little bit of a thief......

"God, if you really save it, please forgive me! I really didn't mean to go around under your banner to deceive! Don't worry, I will definitely be positive and good! Accumulate more merits! So, please forgive me!" Gao Ran unconsciously caressed his heart with his hand, and prayed sincerely to the "heavens" silently and reverently in his heart.

"What's wrong with you?" Qiu Yueze noticed that Gao Ran's face suddenly became a little pale, thinking that it was because of her weakness that she might suddenly feel a little uncomfortable...... He was a little nervously concerned.

"Ah?!Oh, it's okay!" Gao Ran finally recovered from the weakness of his heart just now.

She hasn't forgotten her original purpose!

She quickly corrected the color, and at the same time hinted to herself in her heart, "Now is not the time to take care of feelings. Be calm! Get down to business first!"

After reassuring herself, her heart quickly calmed down again.

She regained her original confident and calm expression.

"Let's get on with business! I'll cut you short!"

As he spoke, Gao Ran turned around, turned his back to Qiu Yueze, and looked up at the sky.

Then, he said slowly, "The reason why I asked you to do that is not only to limit you to the cutting down of adult trees, but also to limit the number of trees, but also to plant the same number of saplings at the same time as cutting down trees...... In fact, this is what the 'gods' asked me to do when they dreamed of me! It said that I must let the 'destined people' do it, otherwise, it will punish us!"

"You mean, if I don't do it, I'll be punished by God?!" Qiu Yueze deliberately confirmed with a solemn expression.

In his opinion, "heaven's punishment" was quite a strict thing! It was even more severe than being sentenced to death by the imperial court -- after all, the imperial court was still jealous of him, and did not dare to really do anything to him, let alone punish him! That could not happen at all!

However, "Heaven's Damnation" is different......

If the gods really want to punish him, no matter how powerful he is, he will still be just a mortal.

Mortals, how can they fight with the sky?!

"If you only care about profit, but do not follow the will of the gods, the gods will indeed punish us. Not only you, but also many innocent people in the whole world will be implicated because of you......"

"Why?!How could it be?!" There was a rare hint of unwillingness in Qiu Yueze's eyes......

Gao Ran turned around, looked directly at him, and replied with a serious expression, "Because, when the 'god' dreamed of me, he had already made it clear to me that if it wanted to punish you, it would not choose to use thunder and lightning to kill you directly, but would use other ways to slowly torture you...... Torture your conscience...... For example, let some places have floods and some places have droughts...... Let those innocent people suffer natural disasters with you!"

"Hmph, what do other people's affairs have to do with me!" Qiu Yueze suddenly interrupted Gao Ran's words in an unusually indifferent tone.

In just a moment, he returned to the cold appearance of Gao Ran when he first met him.

Seeing Qiu Yueze suddenly be so abnormal, Gao Ran sensitively realized that his unreasonable change was probably because of what she said just now, she had inadvertently touched a certain psychological defense line in his heart that could not be lightly touched......

Perhaps, he also had a dark, unfair past......

Perhaps, his hands were already covered with blood......

But......

"They have nothing to do with you...... But, think of those innocent, innocent children...... I'm sure you've had a similar time with them...... Do you really want to let them suffer bad luck and even repeat your mistakes because of you?!"

When Qiu Yueze heard this, the pupils in his eyes couldn't help but shrink suddenly.

Although it was only for a moment, it was still keenly captured by Gao Ran!

She knew, she guessed!

She hurriedly continued to say, "You know, in the eyes of the 'gods', those innocent children are all 'you' one by one! Do you really bear to push 'yourself' into the fire pit again with your own hands?

Hearing this, Qiu Yueze's face had already turned extremely pale, and he even couldn't stand on his feet a little! He unconsciously took a few steps back, and his eyes became extremely hollow.

Gao Ran knew that it was the eyes that would only appear when people were extremely frightened in their hearts - once upon a time, she was still young in the current world, but she could only stay alone in the empty and huge house all day long, get along with herself and talk to herself...... At that time, she also had eyes very similar to him at this moment......

It's just that what Qiu Yueze fears is his painful and dark past, while what Gao Ran fears is the loneliness she was already in before she had time to understand......

However, no matter what reason you feel fear, the feelings that fear itself brings to people are actually the same......

And the best way to help a person in this state of mind is actually very simple - to approach him and accompany him silently......

It's just that the person who accompanies him must be someone who can make him feel at ease.

Although Gao Ran didn't know if he was the one who could reassure Qiu Yueze?!

But at least, she felt that, in some ways, they were the same kind of people!

Thinking like this, Gao Ran quietly walked to Qiu Yueze's side and reached out to hold his hand.

Although, the moment he touched his hand, Gao Ran already felt that his body temperature was too cold compared to him! he knew that he couldn't use his body temperature to "warm" him...... But she still held his hand tightly.

I just thought in my heart, "I hope I can 'warm' your heart!" just as I used to be so eager for someone to hold me and accompany me like I am now, so as to 'warm' my heart......

At this time, Gao Ran was already a little confused, was she helping him, or was she trying to figure out Guò to help him and help herself?! or, in fact, she had both of these motives......
