Chapter 43: What is Water?
"Xiao Zhe, can you go out for a walk with my sister after dinner?"
Before dinner, Kong Lan said to Meng Zhe like this, and Meng Zhe understood that Kong Lan must have something to say to him, so he nodded and agreed.
So after dinner, Meng Zhe accompanied Kong Lan and appeared on the embankment - the river water in the 90s was still clear even if it flowed through the county seat, and there were carps a little foot long and half a foot long jumping in the water, and the river breeze blew through the reeds on the riverside, and blew away the sunset all over the river, making the river like a sprinkled with gold all over the river, which was beautiful......
"It's beautiful! In the past, my grandfather always told me that the river scenery in my hometown was as beautiful as a painting, but my sister and I never believed it. Now I believe it, alas...... Grandpa is gone. ”
While speaking, Kong Lan took off his sandals and long black stockings, stepped on the beach by the river with his bare white and tender feet, and walked into the sparkling water.
How do you answer this kind of thing?
Meng Zhe couldn't think of how to answer, so he could only be silent.
"It's so cool...... Xiao Zhe, don't you go into the water to play? Seeing that Meng Zhe was silent, Kong Lan turned his head and greeted.
So, Meng Zhe also took off his shoes and walked into the water.
Sure enough, the water was slightly cool.
"It's really funny, looking at the golden light of the river, my sister thought the water would be very warm......"
Kong Lan leaned down and took a handful of water, as if he wanted to hold the golden light of the river, but all he could hold was the slightly cool water.
"When the sun is shining, the water is warm at noon, but in the afternoon it gets cold." Meng Zhe also leaned down to wash his hands, and by the way, splashed his still slightly swollen cheeks with cold water.
Kong Lan nodded, parted his fingers and let the clear river leak, but in an instant, he raised a new question: "Xiao Zhe, do you say that this river still likes or hates humans like us who wade in the water?" ”
Uh-huh?
This question is too fairytale, isn't it?
After thinking about it, Meng Zhe replied: "I don't like it or hate it, the Tao Te Ching says that water is good for all things and ...... not disputed."
"Good is like water. Water is good for all things without fighting, and it is evil for everyone, so it is more than the Tao. Dwelling in a good place, a good heart, a good heart, a good word, a good word, a good governance, a good work, and a good time. The husband is indisputable, so there is no especially. Kong Lan did not let Meng Zhe continue, but casually recited the eighth chapter of the Tao Te Ching.
Immediately, Kong Lan continued: "In the "Notes on Lao Tzu" by Wang Anshi, a great writer in the Song Dynasty, it is said that 'the surname of water is good for all things, and all things are born because of water. However, the surname of water is soft and weak, so it is indisputable. The people are high and low, and the water is evil to the people. 'How much can you understand this comment?' ”
By this time, Meng Zhe had completely understood that Kong Lan was euphemistically criticizing him for what he did wrong in the morning......
"I originally wanted to put up with it, but she deceived people too much-" Meng Zhe, who had figured it out, defended himself.
"Listen to Xiao Mei'er, on the day of school, you stabbed someone a few words, right?" Kong Lan shook her head, and when she spoke, she touched Meng Zhe's red and swollen cheeks with her hand stained with water droplets.
Meng Zhe had no room for justification on this question, he could only nod.
"Heh, Xiao Zhe, you are still young, and you don't understand the sinister hearts of people. Not all people have the ...... to benefit all things without fighting" Kong Lan withdrew his hand and continued with some distress: "As for people, they are not a pure rational animal, in most cases, most of the time people will follow their feelings, rather than acting according to wisdom. Therefore, the laity will cling to the powerful, will hug the thighs of the strong, will rush to the top when they see interests, and will desperately retaliate against those who are disgusted. But few people can find out, so you fight for each other and hate each other, everyone's gains are actually extremely limited, and even the gains outweigh the losses......"
Kong Lan's words made Meng Zhe think deeply involuntarily, and he suddenly felt that he seemed to be really wrong-
The root of this incident probably originated from the staircase conversation between himself and Tian Minglun, and what he said at that time seemed to be ...... Some of it has passed.
Then, the series of chain reactions that Tian Minglun instigated Zhao Yufen to retaliate by himself, right?
If that's really the case...... So at the beginning, it was really because I had just been reborn, and I hadn't put my mentality back again, and subconsciously regarded myself as an adult who could stand out the wind and rain alone after more than ten years!
"Xiao Zhe, sister, I know that you are not an ordinary child, and your mind is far more mature than that of ordinary children. But in this matter, my sister can only say that you did nothing wrong, but it is definitely not the best way to deal with it. Kong Lan finally commented.
"I'm sorry Sister Lan, I was wrong!"
Under the guidance of Kong Lan, Meng Zhe finally figured out what he was wrong with, so he was sweating through his back!
When admitting his mistake, Meng Zhe suddenly remembered that when he said thank you to Guan Yingluo in the morning, Guan Yingluo said don't let her think that he was a layman...... It turns out that the girl who seems to be grinning has actually understood the whole thing?
"Be a low-key person and do things in a high-profile manner." Kong Lan finally smiled, she first wiped the water stains on her hands on her clothes, and then touched Meng Zhe's head: "This is a painting hanging in my grandfather's study, and my father said that this painting has been hanging since he can remember." ”
"Well, I understand Sister Lan!"
Meng Zhe nodded vigorously, he kept these eight words firmly in his heart!
Kong Lan didn't speak again, smiled, put his feet on his feet, took a splash, and turned around and walked towards the river.
……
On the bank of the river, Meng Zhe and Kong Lan talked for more than an hour before returning home.
The two talked about no longer about Meng Zhe's mistakes, but about the structure of the magazine.
Kong Lan said that the pages written by Meng Zhe last night allowed her to avoid many detours, Kong Lan asked Meng Zhe where she got these experiences, and Meng Zhe's answer was: "Some of them are from books, and some are from their own thoughts." ”
This answer made Kong Lan sigh lightly, 'Born to know'......
Subsequently, the two of them decided on the name of the magazine - the magazine can be called "Anime Boy", but the magazine can't be called this too!
After several names were denied, the "Tianjiao Magazine" that Meng Zhe racked his brains to come up with was approved.
In the following weekend, Meng Zhe devoted almost all of his time to drawing comics. Within two days, Meng Zhe actually finished painting the first episode of "Dream Eater", the first episode of "Chess Soul" and half of the second episode!
Even, the four pages of the first episode of "Chess Soul", Meng Zhe also finished coloring in advance, so that it could be used as the main masthead color page of the magazine!
……
On Sunday morning, when Meng Zhe went to Wufengguan to practice standing piles as usual, Wang Zhenren suddenly stopped and played a game of chess with him.
When the chess game reached the middle game, the white-haired Wang Zhenren smiled and stretched out his hand to mess up the chess game.
"From tomorrow, I will pass on the old way to open the door to the eight poles."
Wang Zhenren said.
"Huh? Master, didn't you say earlier that you should stand on the three-body pile for three months first? ”
Meng Zhe was stunned.
"Not anymore."
Wang Zhenren twisted his beard and smiled.
--- dividing line---
At this point, some of the holes buried can be regarded as filled.
Then, suddenly, I wanted to say something.
Well, I've been thinking, even if it's a reborn person...... It should not be omniscient, and there should be a short or long process of mindset. The reborn will also do stupid things that others cannot understand because they do not have the right attitude and because they know too much about the future...... Perhaps, the reborn who has done stupid things is even better than before the rebirth.
Maybe I'm wrong, but that's what I thought.
People are always strange creatures, when they know too little...... will do the wrong thing; When I know too much, I still ...... will do the wrong thing.
…… Right?
Perhaps......
