Chapter Ninety-Eight: A Smile
"Whew." With a smile, he slowly put the knife back.
"Uncle?" Li Ziming walked up, to be honest, there was really nothing to him here, maybe the only thing that impressed Li Ziming was a smile and Hattori's wonderful knife duel.
"Boy, do me a favor and bury Hattori, okay?" He sat on the ground with a smile, looking tired.
"Oh." Li Ziming responded, and then walked to Hattori's side, "Bury it directly like this?" Li Ziming asked suspiciously, "Don't do anything more?" ”
"No need." Laughing shook his head, "Just bury him in that pit." ”
"Okay, what about this knife?" Li Ziming asked curiously, Hattori's knife looked like it should be a good knife.
"Stick it in his grave, let that knife be his tombstone." He shook his head with a smile, "As soon as this guy dies, this place will soon become a barren place." ”
"Not necessarily." Li Ziming dragged Hattori with one hand, "At that time, there will be other people who will come to this island and settle down, and then this island may be revitalized again." ”
"That's not the original island anymore, at least the people on the original island are dead." Yixiao shook his head, "When the newcomers come, how many of them will remember that there was once a village here with this group of carefree people." ”
"Uncle, you remember, don't you?" Li Ziming dragged Hattori into the pit, and then got down and began to tidy up Hattori's clothes.
"Maybe you're right, after a while, maybe I'll be the only one who remembers that there was a small village here, and there was a guy named Hattori in it." Yixiao laughed, "Remember, a wandering swordsman who pursued so-called justice like a fool became a blind swordsman. ”
"Oh?" Li Ziming was curious, "Uncle, did you lose your eyes here?" ”
"Yes and no." smiled and said slowly, "Didn't I say it, when I was young, I was very similar to you, and I also pursued the so-called justice, but it was when I was young, and I was still a little stunned, and I was used by others." ”
"And then you're going to slaughter the village?" After Li Ziming sorted out Hattori's remains, he began to fill in the soil with Hattori's knife.
"How is that possible?" Yixiao shook his head, "Although I did a lot of foolish things at that time, I still know that I can't trust others casually, so usually before I make a move, I will go to see if the other party has really done something." ”
"That?" Li Ziming was puzzled, but then Li Ziming understood something, "Actually, you are just being treated as a knife." ”
"Yes." He smiled and nodded, "After I exterminated the underworld forces in a place, that place became the territory of the forces I was in, and then the oppression intensified, and most people thought that I was a lackey of that force." ”
"Hey, you didn't notice at all?" Li Ziming was speechless, how young and less angry this is.
"Nope." He smiled and sighed, "If I had noticed it at the time, maybe there wouldn't have been anything behind this." ”
"This is the village?" Li Ziming asked curiously.
"Yes, the accident here is why I quit that force, and why I blinded myself, and this is also the beginning of my feud with Hattori." With a smile, he slowly began to tell this story.
"Hattori is the boss of the area, and he's a pretty tough guy to deal with, and my force took advantage of his absence for me to attack Hattori's men here. I killed all of Hattori's men, and of course my forces slaughtered them all, and then the village was killed because they didn't want to join the forces. He smiled and regretted his face.
"And then Hattori came back and saw that his village had been slaughtered, so he came to you for trouble?" Li Ziming finally finished covering the soil and made it to the side with a smile.
"yes, that's why I know what I've done." smiled bitterly, "I originally thought I was here to save others, but I didn't expect that I would become someone else's accomplice, what an ironic thing." ”
"And then?" Li Ziming then asked.
"Hattori was not strong at that time, and was eventually killed by the forces, and I chose to leave. I came to this island again, and I saw corpses all over the ground, blood, blood all over the ground, and you know how it felt! A smile looked a little excited, "That feeling, that feeling!" ”
"And then?" Li Ziming sighed, but he didn't expect Yixiao to encounter this situation.
"Then I went straight out and blinded myself." Smiled and touched his staff, "Since I can't even see the good and evil of people, why bother with this pair of tricks, and then I began my wandering career, and in contrast to this, Hattori began his career of revenge." ”
"Later, that's why you gave up on maintaining your ...... Justice? Li Ziming didn't know what words to use to describe it.
"Justice?" Yixiao shook his head, "Maybe it's because I don't have eyes, but I see more clearly than usual, people's greed and ignorance, and people's desire for hope and good things in their hearts, is so complicated, just a simple look can't fully understand whether a person is good or evil, and is there really a standard for good and evil?" We are just judging by the opinion of the majority, or that people need him to be good, and if they don't need him, they are evil. ”
"So...... How did you choose in the end? Li Ziming asked curiously.
"Heart." He patted his chest with a smile, "I finally chose to believe what my heart saw." ”
"Heart?" Li Ziming smiled, "It's really a general answer, but from this point of view, what you think is good is good, and what you think is evil is evil." ”
"No, I'm just saying that before making a choice, I have to ask myself if I don't regret it after cutting the other person." He stood up with a smile, "Then I will decide whether I will do it or not." ”
"What a wayward guy." Li Ziming said funny, "To put it bluntly, he is also a guy who comes by his own temperament." ”
"yes." He knelt down in front of the tomb with a smile, kowtowed a few times, and then stood up, "So I also wanted to go to the navy, but I guess the navy will have a headache." ”
"Huh?" Li Ziming didn't know what it meant to put forward this statement with a smile now.
"It's just that I heard that the admiral has been replaced, maybe there will be something different, so I decided to give it a try." smiled at Li Ziming, "I heard that the new marshal is Akainu, do you want to come?" ”
Li Ziming's pupils shrank when he heard the words of a smile, and then showed a hearty smile, "Of course." ”
