Chapter Seventy-Three: The Tiger Goes Away
After being criticized by Meng Zhuo, Zhou Zheng reluctantly got out of bed and said, "I want to go and see my senior sister." ”
"Yes, but are you okay with yourself?"
Meng Zhuo took a step forward and wanted to hold Zhou Zheng's hand, but Zhou Zheng declined Meng Zhuo's kindness.
"I think I could, and if I could walk through on my own, she'd believe I'm fine, right?" Zhou Zheng touched the back of his head, laughed and laughed at himself: "It's not what a man should do to always make a little girl scared." ”
"Interesting!" Meng Zhuo gave Zhou Zheng a thumbs up and praised: "He is worthy of being a Jinshui hero." ”
"Goldwater Heroes?" Zhou Zhengcai didn't wake up for long, and he didn't know what was going on outside. Naturally, there is no way to know the titles that others have imposed on themselves.
Speaking of this topic, Meng Zhuo was a little excited, he slapped Zhou Zheng on the shoulder, and almost didn't pat Zhou Zheng down.
"Oh oh, I'm sorry, I forgot you were hurt." Meng Zhuo hurriedly apologized, but still did not change his excited appearance, he explained to Zhou Zheng: "Because you saved the people of Jinshui Town, now they all call you Jinshui Hero." ”
Meng Zhuo's original intention was to praise Zhou Zhengyi. Unexpectedly, when Zhou Zheng heard the news, his face darkened, and he let out a long sigh. After being silent for a long time, he looked at the confused Meng Zhuo and asked, "How many people has Jinshui Town lost?" ”
Hearing Zhou Zheng ask about this, Meng Zhuo couldn't help but shake his head and gritted his teeth: "That group of brutes...... Jinshui lost more than 4,000 people overnight! ”
This number is not much different from Zhou Zheng's estimate, but even though he has psychological expectations, when he really hears this answer, he still feels a tightness in his chest, as if there is a block accumulating, making him breathless.
Zhou Zheng didn't speak, just closed his eyes, shook his head, and sighed. He opened his mouth several times, as if he had something to say, but every time the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back.
Meng Zhuo saw that he was sad, so he also sighed beside him. This is not to say that Zhou is true and sincere, Meng Zhuo is hypocritical. It's just that Meng Zhuo is not like Zhou Zheng, he has never been in a coma. The actual data of the Jinshui Town tragedy was transmitted to the Yamen and the Pillow Book Society on the first day of the new year, when Meng Zhuo also beat his chest and paused, lamenting how difficult the people's livelihood was, and lamenting that he was not good at learning.
And Zhou Zheng was in a coma once, and now it is the third day of the Lunar New Year. For Zhou Zheng, the data of the Jinshui Town tragedy is a tragic piece of news, and for Meng Zhuo, it is just an old news that has been lamented.
As the saying goes, "relatives or sorrows, others have also sung", people in the world do not have much time to lament for others. You can rest assured that this truth is absolutely bumpy.
And we should forgive people for forgetfulness. Unknown life, unknown death? It is the responsibility of the living to make their lives wonderful. It is the right of the deceased to let them sleep peacefully.
On the other hand, if someone frequently laments a deceased person he doesn't actually know, I can bet that it's not a ghost - it's more likely that he's sticking it or squirting people without arguments. Of course, this kind of mutual spraying may also occur at a higher level, such as the Taiwan Legislative Yuan, and then ...... It's here.
Human beings are never boring animals, and when we take it seriously, we are humorous in every second.
Having said that, Zhou Meng and the others sighed a few words, and then walked forward together and went to Wen Siqi's room. Outside the room, Meng Zhuo knocked politely on the door and asked, "Miss Wen, Brother Zhou has come to see you." ”
A weak voice came from within: "Come in." There is no doubt that Wen Siqi said this, but because she was unable to move, it was Imperial Doctor Shi who opened the door.
"Ah, here you are." When Imperial Doctor Shi saw Zhou Zheng, he sighed with a strange expression: "Tsk, you little brute...... I mean, you're better than a brute. Every time I see you, you're half dead, but in the blink of an eye, hey, you're fine. You said if there were more people like you, wouldn't I be unemployed? ”
Zhou Zheng didn't answer, just laughed twice, and then asked about Wen Siqi's condition: "How is my senior sister?" ”
Imperial Physician Shi is an old man who is not ashamed, he raised his eyebrows and smiled when he heard this, glanced at Wen Siqi obliquely, then turned his eyes to Zhou Zheng, and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that I almost died...... Eh, don't rush, don't rush. I said almost, how could a local tyrant like her, who was armed to the teeth, die so easily? Most of the True Qi was blocked by her talisman magic weapon, but there was a small True Qi that unfortunately penetrated her abdomen. Luckily, it didn't hurt any organs. It's just that she has been in a coma for a long time, and the treatment is not very timely, and she has lost a lot of blood, so her body is relatively weak. ”
When Zhou Zheng heard this, his expression was relieved, and he looked at Wen Siqi gently. The latter was silent, smiling in response. It's just that the cheeks that carry this smile are a little too pale, which makes people feel distressed to look at.
"Fool, don't be so stupid in the future."
The two seemed to have made an appointment, and solemnly lectured to each other.
"Don't learn from me!"
This time, Wen Siqi snatched the conversation, or Zhou Zheng didn't mean to rob her at all. He just stood aside, staring at the man in front of him as if he were gazing at the most beautiful treasure in the world.
"What are you looking at?" Little Yiren furrowed his brows and pursed his lips, but he didn't mean to be angry.
"Look at you." The answer is so simple and clear, Zhou Zheng's gaze is as gentle as water: "I thought I would never see you again, and at that time I was thinking, if you die, it must be my fault." Now I can see you again, it's like a different world, I can't see enough. ”
This word is actually very sweet. But the girl still did not seem satisfied, and her voice, which had been weakened by her physical weakness, suddenly raised her tone, and asked, "Are you here to celebrate?" Celebrate that you don't have to take responsibility for killing people. ”
"Haha, that's not the case." Zhou Zheng burst out laughing rarely, he walked to the bed, gently stroked Wen Siqi's head, and said, "I'm just very happy that I still have the opportunity to take on that responsibility." ”
"What responsibility?" Wen Siqi was a little confused.
Zhou Zheng smiled: "The responsibility that makes you happy." ”
"Gross! A sour smell of love! Seeing that the two of them were getting more and more tired of talking, Imperial Doctor Shi couldn't stand it, he made a vomiting expression, grabbed Meng Zhuo, and said, "Meng boy, let's go, do you want to watch them show affection here?" You're crazy, you're a lost dog in love. ”
Meng Zhuo was quite interested and wanted to continue listening. But when Imperial Doctor Shi said this, he suddenly felt that he felt himself, and no matter how great his interest was, it disappeared, and he could only escape from the room in despair.
At this time, only Zhou Zheng and Wen Siqi were left in the room, Zhou Zheng turned around, closed the door, and then sat down quietly by Wen Siqi's bed.
Neither of them spoke, not even made eye contact. They remain motionless, like two sculptures. After a long time, Wen Siqi broke the silence.
"Why don't you speak?"
"I don't dare to say it, I'm afraid you will scold me."
"Why should I scold you?"
"You've been telling me not to come back, but I didn't listen to you. If I had gone my own way, I don't think you would have been hurt, and you wouldn't have nearly lost your life. ”
When Wen Siqi heard this, she snorted coldly and rolled her eyes: "I didn't expect you to reflect." ”
In this regard, Zhou Zheng did not argue, just smiled faintly. When Wen Siqi saw him like this, she didn't have the interest to continue to investigate, but looked at him from top to bottom, as if she had returned to the time when they first met.
"How do you feel like you've changed so much?"
Zhou Zheng thought for a moment and replied, "Master Empty Seal used the Daigo Empowerment Technique on me, and I also got all the memories he was willing to give me. In this way, I feel as if I am two human beings. Thanks to him, many things that I couldn't see through are now simpler, and they are so clear at a glance. ”
"Oh, so amazing?"
"The magical powers of Buddhism are indeed amazing."
"Don't talk about that." After chatting a few words, Wen Siqi suddenly paused, changed the topic, and said, "We made this appearance of the world, you have to be responsible, right?" ”
"That's right."
"And then you said you were going to do something that made me happy, didn't you?"
"That's right."
"So ......"
Wen Siqi was kind and seductive all the way, but at the critical moment, Zhou Zheng snatched the conversation: "Promise is promised, but no matter what you want to do, you have to wait until the two of us are well, don't you?" ”
"Can't we say yes in advance?"
"Plans are not changing fast." Zhou Zheng replied with a classic quote from the 21st century, ending the topic.
In this regard, Wen Siqi was a little unhappy, her pale little face was puffed up with anger, and she muttered: "You said you wanted to make me happy, but you refused to let me even speak." ”
In the past, Zhou Zheng was either silent or smiling, but now he took the initiative to take over the conversation and said very maturely: "The happiness in this world is also divided into short and long-lasting. If it is for the pursuit of long-term happiness, it is not impossible to let short-term happiness suffer a grievance. ”
"So who is to judge, what is long-term and what is short-lived?" Wen Siqi is not a character who is willing to forgive, seeing that Zhou Zheng is facing her head-on, where is he willing to admit defeat easily.
"The happiness of goodness, even if it is not good for a while, will be long in the future. The happiness of evil, even if it is accessible now, will inevitably affect itself. ”
When the witch heard this, she rolled her eyes, shook her head and sighed: "Yes, it's over, fly for seven hundred miles, sacrifice yourself to block the sword, and finally save an old monk." Loss, blood loss! Where's my cute little brother? ”
For this question, Zhou Zheng smiled slightly, did not answer, but sang a song-
The little monk went down the mountain to fast, and the old monk explained:
"The woman under the mountain is a tiger, and if you meet it, you must avoid it!"
After walking through one village after another, the little monk pondered:
"Why don't tigers eat people, they look quite cute?"
The old monk quietly told his apprentice: This kind of tiger is the most powerful!
The little monk was so frightened that he hurriedly ran, "Master, yes
Bad, bad, bad, the tiger has broken into my heart!"
"Cut!" Wen Siqi was amused by Zhou Zheng's crooked song that didn't rhyme, and she couldn't remember Fang Cai's dispute anymore, but teased: "Then are you an old monk or a young monk?" ”
Zhou Zheng blinked, folded his hands, and was very pious: "In this song, there is no old monk at all." ”
