Chapter 167: Ideal and Reality
Zhao Yu's breath continued in chaos, and he still looked at Shen Mengting who was sitting on him, his heart was full of sorrow.
"You...... You know it all?"
Shen Mengting took a meaningful breath, "Yes, I know everything." ”
Zhao Yu hung his head helplessly: "So, what do you want to tell me now?"
Looking at Zhao Yu who was so depressed, Shen Mengting shook her head helplessly, "I don't want to say anything to you, I just want to ...... Hope you can cheer up. ”
"Hehe! cheer up?" Zhao Yu smiled miserably, "How can I cheer up?" my friend...... They...... Friends of Vortex ......"
As the words deepened, Zhao Yu felt a lot of sadness. Originally, the sadness was about to be suppressed, but because of the dialogue with others, the crying hidden in the heart was about to explode in an instant.
"Ah...... My friend...... They ......"
Looking at Zhao Yu like this, Shen Mengting will definitely not feel good in her heart. But she couldn't comfort anything at the moment, because she knew that there was something more important at the moment. And Zhao Yu, as the general of the Saran Kingdom, should also understand the overall situation.
"Zhao Yu, I understand. You lost a companion from childhood to adulthood, and your sadness is understandable. But now is not the time to mourn. Shen Mengting's tone had a bitter sense of persuasion, "In this incident, I have also lost a lot. I lost a physician I had admired since I was a child, and I watched so many brothers die. I'm actually very, very sad, to the point of being bone-broken. But...... But...... After a period of worship, we should think of something more realistic. ”
"The situation is still very bad, and we, as the commander-in-chief of Saran, must first cheer up and encourage everyone to continue to resist the invaders. That's what we're supposed to do. ”
Zhao Yu still looked unmoved, his eyes were slightly dull, "Ah? You said you should think about this now? Hmm! Then you can think about it! Don't bother me, I'm not that great." ”
"Zhao Yu!" Shen Mengting stood up suddenly, and her eyes also changed to the state of her eyes, "Don't you forget your identity now?
I thought that revealing Zhao Yu's position would raise his sense of responsibility a little. Unexpectedly, Zhao Yu still didn't have any strength, so he just continued to sit in a daze.
"Hehe! Hmph, what are you talking about? The general is not what I want, but someone else gave it to me. If you think I'm not qualified, you can dismiss me! Anyway, I don't really want to be a general, and I can't be a general. ”
"Zhao Yu, what did you say?"
"Oh! don't bother me. What do you think the general should do, do it yourself! Why are you bothering me here? I'm tired enough now. ”
"Zhao Yu, I can understand your current pain, everyone here is currently suffering from the loss of relatives and friends. But when time passes, we still have to think about more realistic problems, and that's what we should do. It is estimated that the enemy will attack more fiercely in the near future, do you think we can continue to grieve forever?"
"That's your business, and it's your business if you think you're responsible. Zhao Yu also stood up suddenly, his tone seemed to be a little excited, "But don't take me with you." If you want to think more realistically, you can think about it yourself! Why are you bothering me here?"
"Because you are a general, I hope that you will get out of your misery soon. ”
"I won't say anything! I don't want to be a general, and I know I'm not that material, so you just let me continue to cry here! ”
"Zhao Yu, it's useless to cry, if you really think that your friend's death is tragic, then you have to cheer up and avenge them. ”
"Revenge? How to take revenge? Didn't you just say that the enemy is very strong? Can we still take revenge?" Zhao Yu roared, and stomped his feet while smashing his hands angrily, "Anyway, can you stop bothering me." If you are a marshal, please do your marshal's business, why do you come here to teach me a lesson?"
"Zhao Yu, I'm not teaching you, I'm enlightening you. I mean: it's because of the death of your friends that you should pick yourself up and avenge them. ”
"This is the idea of your leadership, and you believe that the current fight against the enemy is the top priority. But I'm telling you, I can't do that. I was just...... It's just a piece of waste, I don't have any big ambitions, I just want to...... Hopefully my friend will come back to life. ”
Shen Mengting suddenly showed a helpless expression, but after a long time, she spat forward lightly: "Zhao Yu, your friends can't survive anymore, they are dead." However, there are still many living companions in the barracks, and there are still civilians in this country that we need to protect. Therefore, it is all the more important for us to set our hearts on the living. ”
"I understand this!" Zhao Yu turned and walked towards the other place, his hands still waving to his heart's content, "But have you thought about it? Even if we really protect the living, what about the dead? Not only my friends, but also thousands of brothers who have died, what should they do?"
This can be regarded as Zhao Yu's sincere questioning, and after reaching a certain distance, he suddenly stopped again, and added a quick turn.
Shen Mengting could feel the compelling momentum from Zhao Yu, so she could only lower her eyes together, "I can understand what you mean." No matter where we go next, our dead brothers will never return. But......" Shen Mengting suddenly raised her eyes again, and looked directly at Zhao Yu tightly, "But now no matter what, we should think about the living people." Because it only makes sense to think about the living. ”
"Why does it only make sense to think about the living?" Zhao Yu spread his hands, seemingly very puzzled.
"That's because we don't dare to do anything, and those who die are dead after all. ”
"No! I don't think so! dead or alive, they are our brothers. My dead companion is dead, so why don't you let me go to their memory?"
"Zhao Yu! Remembering a dead companion is a normal action, but not now. It's time for us to fight for our living companions, so that we can be worthy of the dead. ”
"No! That's just your idea of being a leader, and it's not you who is dead anyway. Zhao Yu started to take steps again, and he circled around Shen Mengting, "Those who died, have you thought about their thoughts? Have you ever thought about what kind of mentality they had before they died?"
"Of course I thought about it!" Shen Mengting also roared excitedly, "They only went to the battlefield to defend the country and their families, so when they died, they were all worried about their families and the safety of the country." So before they died, they had great regrets. It is precisely because of this that we who are alive must fulfill the obsession of those who have died, and carry their spirit to defend the country and the people. That's what they do. ”
"Huh...... Hehehe......" Zhao Yu suddenly sneered, "I said that you, the leader, are really self-absorbed! Do you think everyone is so noble?"
"Huh?" Shen Mengting's brows furrowed slightly, with a fierce expression, "Zhao Yu, what do you want to say?"
And Zhao Yu now seemed to be drunk, and the whole person was a little casual, "What I want to say is that you are really a person who likes to revel in ideal ideas!"
"If you think I'm not right, feel free to point it out. ”
Half of Zhao Yu's face twitched, quite a sense of mockery, "You think that everyone thinks the same as you, and they all carry some lofty ideals." Do you think that those dead companions, in the moment before they died, were thinking about some obsession with victory? Then I'm telling you, you're really wrong. ”
Shen Mengting became silent, but it only took two or three seconds for her to respond, "Huh? What do you mean? Then tell me, what did they have in mind before they died?"
Zhao Yu immediately turned his body and turned his back to Shen Mengting, "Hmph, don't you really know anything?"
"I'd like to hear what you think. ”
"Those dead partners, most of them don't have many ideals and obsessions before they die. What kind of defending the country or something, they don't have the time to think about it. Zhao Yu's body had been shaking at will, and his neck was crooked, "What they really think about is why they died." They basically died with regret and helplessness, and they only thought about the people they should be concerned about. That's what they really think, and that's the most realistic idea. It won't be like you said, what beliefs and obsessions?"
Shen Mengting seemed to have been hit by an electric shock, and her eyes immediately widened, "Eh......!
"They all died with grief, and in their hearts, they thought more about the people they had in life. Zhao Yu seemed to be a little quieter, and his body no longer trembled.
However, he unexpectedly raised his head slowly, and looked at the sky, and his eyes really revealed a great deal of compassion.
"After this great defeat, how many soldiers in our army have died, and how many families have no relatives since then! The sadness of those soldiers, their helplessness and the concern in their hearts, how much do you know as a leader?" Zhao Yu suddenly turned around, and his expression became extremely tough, "Do you know?
As if she was completely shocked, Shen Mengting was a little unable to move, because she had never seen Zhao Yu so excited, "You...... Zhao Yu: What do you want to say, what do you want to say to me, just say it!"
"Okay, then I'll just say it today. Zhao Yu's pace moved again, and the circle around Shen Mengting came back. Of course, at this time, Zhao Yu also attached a chest-beating action, "I have a dead partner, do you know his family situation?"
"He was the only young man in the family, with an elderly father and mother and two younger sisters. And now? He's dead, and he can't take care of his family anymore? Do you know what he said before he died? He said sadly that he was very worried about his family!" Zhao Yu's face had uncontrollable sadness, "I don't think he would think about it so much, what country should it do, what should the people do? He only thinks about what his family should do? This is the mind of a civilian." He doesn't have any great ideas, let alone many lofty ideals. For him, his family is everything.
"In the same way, when he was fighting on the battlefield, I thought he was fighting for his family. But...... In the end, he didn't. When he was seriously injured and died, I could understand how unwilling he was and how painful he was. A life is gone, but now you are still telling me some big truth, saying that he died for faith and obsession, do you think I can listen to it?"
Zhao Yu's pace did not stop, and the circle around Shen Mengting was even faster, "It's not just this companion." I also have another partner, he is the only son in the family, and the family is quite wealthy. His parents had already planned his future for him, but now because of this damn war, even people are missing. Ah! There is not even a corpse, how can you accept it when you call him his parents! Also, what thoughts did he have before he died? Isn't it endless remorse and sorrow? So what beliefs and obsessions do you still have, I can only say that he [river crab] mother. ”
Zhao Yu said a dirty word unexpectedly, so it was obvious that he had reached extreme sadness.
When Shen Mengting listened to the other party's words, her body was still straight. But she didn't look at Zhao Yu who was revolving around her, she just stared straight ahead.
"Okay, do you know all of that? I'll tell you one more person. He was my coach when I was in Vortex Town. I heard that he was going to get married this year, but everything ended with his death. Tell me what he thinks of dying? Yes, really. You, a woman, will always only think about things from your own point of view, do you think that everyone should live for some lofty ideals like you? Let me tell you, people are realistic. ”
"So...... Those dead partners, no matter what we do in the future, can no longer recover their unwillingness at that time. What are you still talking to me about, why are you talking nonsense with me?"
Zhao Yu's voice seemed to pierce the sky, causing the surrounding soldiers to rush over.
But after those soldiers saw Shen Mengting and Zhao Yu, they could only turn around and leave. They didn't seem to be involved in the generals' feuds, because they were all too tired.
When Zhao Yu finished speaking, he no longer circled around Shen Mengting, but chose to step aside and sit down again. This time, it can be seen that he doesn't speak anymore.
Shen Mengting continued to stay where she was, without making a sound, and she didn't look in any direction. But gradually, she still turned her face to Zhao Yu's side.
She would never have imagined that in Zhao Yu's silent personality, there were so many words hidden!
