Mr. Mentor hesitated. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

He had originally made up his mind to completely obey the mandate of heaven. But now, Shi Wen's words aroused his impulse to explore his fate.

Actually, this is not difficult to understand. But those who have reached the top of a certain field will always have varying degrees of excitement when they encounter the opportunity to touch a higher realm.

He once thought that he was very good at divination and murder, and could accurately calculate everyone's fate. But now he suddenly found that he had been peeping at the leopard in the tube. What I have calculated is just a corner of it, the most superficial manifestation of fate.

What is the real number of lives? How does the Mandate of Heaven work, and by what laws does it work?!

He wanted to know, very much to know.

But...... Shi Wen may be able to change his fate, but even he himself is not sure of the direction of his fate after changing. Perhaps, the Shi family can really be saved, but what if the price is the destruction of the Lan family?

If you want to bet on the entire Lan family and gamble on the lives of everyone in the Lan family, Mr. Mingde instantly hesitated.

To do, or not to do?

To help, or not to help?

In case he miscalculated, in case Shi Wen guessed wrong, the Lan family might end up with no one left.

No! He can't bet, and he doesn't dare to bet.

Mr. Mingde's hesitant look was seen by Shi Wen, and he sighed helplessly. In fact, he also knows that there is little hope, but he still wants to give it a try with hope.

If, combined with the abilities of him and Mingde, he may be able to calculate the future changes more accurately. Perhaps, he can not only keep his daughter, but also a son?

"Teacher......" Shi Wen was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to persuade him.

No one wants to take such a big risk and still see no benefit. If he hadn't fallen into a dead end, even he wouldn't have been sure, he would have been able to be ruthless, break the kettle, and persist until now.

Therefore, Madame had a very correct sentence at the beginning - what drives us to keep moving forward is never the light of hope ahead, but the abyss behind us.

Taking a step back is a dead end, and you can go on step by step.

"Teacher, the student doesn't ask you to do much, I just ask you to be able to go out and help the imperial court survive this disaster." Shi Wen retreated to the next best thing, hoping that Mr. Mingde could stabilize the situation.

"When natural disasters occur, it is the people who suffer, and in wars, it is the people who suffer. Regardless of natural or man-made disasters, it must be ordinary people who suffer. Can you bear to watch the people displaced, watch countless people starve to death on the streets, watch young children being eaten by the starving victims? ”

"Even if it's not for the destiny of heaven, do you really have the heart to let this happen?"

To tell the truth, half of Shi Wen's choice to go to disaster relief was to accumulate merit, but the other half was really compassionate. In troubled times, there are always people who have to stand up, and there are always people who have to do something.

Since he has the ability, he cannot sit idly by.

It's not about destiny, it's not about the future, it's just about one's morality and conscience.

"You...... Let me think. Mr. Matilda lowered his eyelids. He kept torturing himself in his heart, did he really want to cowardly obey the destiny of heaven and die a dead life?

However, he still has so many children and grandchildren...... Why did these innocent children of his be forced to change their lives by a single thought?

On one side are hundreds of thousands of victims; On the other side are all his loved ones.

What exactly should he choose?

……

Shi Wen left Mr. Mingde's residence, a relieved smile appeared on his face.

Just a second before he left, Mr. Mingde suddenly stopped him and agreed to the request. This is a crucial point, and the most important first link of all his layouts.

The real game with the number of lives is about to begin.

……

"Shi Shoufu begs to see!" The little eunuch passed it out loud.

Shi Wen stood outside the door of the imperial study, looking at the imperial study with deep eyes, but his heart was full of mixed tastes - there was pride, relief, pity, and reluctance.

In fact, it is not necessarily a good thing to be able to see the future, especially the future that you are promoting.

"Father!" Shi Jiao'e greeted her in person, and her originally calm face rarely showed a little emotion.

She didn't expect her father to promise her, nor did she expect her father to come so soon. After all, he had been sick for nearly a month, and no matter how much turmoil had happened in the court, it had not provoked him.

But now, just because of his daughter's request for help, he came immediately!

"Father......" Shi Jiao'e quickly took a few steps forward and grabbed her father's arm. I don't know if it's her delusion, she always feels that her father's arms seem to be much thinner than before.

"Father, is everything okay at home?" Shi Jiao'e asked with concern.

Since the eldest brother was dismissed from his official position and his father returned home from illness, Shifu has completely closed the door and refused all contact with the outside world. Except for the occasional person who comes out to buy, it's like evaporating out of thin air.

Even the people cultivated by Shi Jiao'e couldn't find out any news, and they didn't know what the situation of the Shi family was.

"Your eldest brother has been going to the southwest for disaster relief, and he has been gone for a few days. Other than that, everything is fine. Regarding the whereabouts of his eldest son, Shi Wen did not hide it. If he hides it now, if something happens in the future, his daughter will only hate him even more.

"What?" Shi Jiao'e's footsteps paused, holding Shi Wen's hand, which was already a little tense. She asked again unwillingly: "What did you just say?" The daughter didn't seem to hear clearly. ”

"Your eldest brother went to the southwest for disaster relief. The household department built two granaries there, and some of the surplus grain was enough to last the victims for a month. Shi Wen didn't seem to see his daughter's expression, and still said with a loving face.

"Big brother has no official position! You asked Big Brother to go to disaster relief? He is alone, how can he face so many victims! Shi Jiao'e let go of her hand, her whole body was already tense.

"Do you know how dangerous it can be at the source of the disaster? Why let him go?! Shi Jiao'e's voice suddenly rose and asked word by word. Just like the little brother, why did you want to join the army back then?

My father knew the danger and could even predict nine deaths, so why did he agree to it?!

She knew intellectually that there might be no right or wrong choice, and that someone did need to help with the disaster.

But why is it big brother?!

Why is it big brother?!

――Dividing Line――

Can you understand Mr. Matilda's struggle?

On one side, there are hundreds of thousands of victims, and if they don't help, more than half of them may die; On the other side are all their loved ones. If you were faced with such a choice, what would you choose?

I...... I think I will choose relatives, right?

Or, choose to help the victims, and then, after the accident of your loved one, commit suicide and go underground to accompany your loved one.
