Chapter 547: Retreat
Wang Xiao entered the detention room alone.
The detention cell was simple, with only a hard bed and a mattress on top.
Wang Xiao saw Hua Nan lying on the mat of the hard bed, her eyes closed, her brows furrowed, her face changed, obviously thinking about her thoughts, not sleeping boringly, but she didn't know what he was thinking.
"Hua Nan, your matter is settled, I will pick you up with your father and mother today." Wang Xiao stood on the side of the bed and looked down at Hua Nan, staring at the change in the expression on Hua Nan's face, and told Hua Nan the situation again.
Hua Nan was still lying on the hard bed, jumped up without hearing the good news, and didn't even open her eyes, but said softly: "I know." But I'm not going out. I'm going to stay here. β
Wang smiled puzzled: "What are you staying here for?" β
A sneering smile appeared at the corner of Hua Nan's mouth, and instead she asked, "What do you say I'm doing here?" β
"I don't know." Wang Xiao said very sincerely, and then asked, "You want to go to prison?" β
"Hahaha!" Hua Nan laughed and sat down on the bed, he didn't sit on the side of the bed with a dustpan, but sat cross-legged on the bed, making a meditative appearance, and sneered: "Wang Xiao, do you know what it means to go to prison?" To go to jail is to make you feel like you have lost your freedom. No matter where you are, if you don't feel free, then you're in jail. But since I came here, I've found myself much more free than before. When I was outside, I was bound by a lot of things, and I struggled every day. But since I've been here, my heart has been steady. Maybe my body is not free, but my heart is free. Maybe it seems to you that I am in prison, but in my opinion, I am cultivating. For me, this is not a detention room, but a retreat room. β
Wang Xiao frowned and said, "What are you cultivating?" β
A cold smile appeared on Hua Nan's face again, and said, "The police thought I was a bad person, arrested me here, and beat me severely." Verbal abuse and persecution of me. However, after careful analysis, I found that the reason why it is like this is not because I am really bad, but because I am really bad enough. At least I'm not as bad as the police. I'm in retreat here, and when I become a really bad person, then I'm going out in style. If the police want to set a trap to bully me again, I won't be able to let him succeed so easily. β
Wang Xiao felt amused and said, "Are you so useful?" β
Hua Nan nodded seriously. A frenzied glint appeared in his eyes, and he said, "It's useful." β
Wang Xiao sighed, and said with amusement: "Your cultivation like this is too naΓ―ve. I know you want to be here to quietly reflect on what you've done before, to figure out where you weren't careful enough, and then learn from that and not make the same mistakes again. However, a person who does not make such a mistake will make such a mistake, and it is not enough to look for lessons from the past. That needs to be accumulated in practice. β
Laughing mockingly, Wang smiled and said, "Do you know what your cultivation looks like?" You are like a monk practicing in a temple. Practicing all day long, I want to see emptiness. However, when they can't see color, they can still forget color. When they see color, their so-called practice immediately falls apart. Practicing behind closed doors like this is ultimately just self-deception. If you practice in retreat here, you will definitely have an unstable foundation. β
Wang Xiao's voice became serious, full of strong infectious power. And he said, "If you really want to be a bad person, then you have to get out of here and go out and do some bad things." When you are able to do bad things in your hands, but you have no shackles in your heart. You can be a real bad person. ββ¦,
Hua Nan realized something, and wondered: "Why are you telling me this?" You want me to be the bad guy? That's what you're trying to save me for? I still haven't been where you say I am. I'm not really a bad guy yet! β
Wang smiled and sighed: "I don't care if you are a good person or a bad person at all. It doesn't matter if you're a good guy or a bad guy, I'll get you out. I rescued you only because you were my classmate, just because I didn't want to see your father and mother sad for you. Although I know that after getting you out, you may cause me trouble. But until you get me in trouble, I'll still have to get you out. Until one day. You make me really feel that there is no love between you and me anymore. When that time comes, I will deal with you mercilessly. β
Laughing self-deprecatingly, Wang smiled and sighed: "I'm ashamed." I didn't do it either. I'm not obsessed with turning myself into a bad person, though. Being a good person, it's not easy to live. But being a bad guy doesn't necessarily mean it to live. If it's too bad, there's too much pressure, and people won't live comfortably. I just think that people are good at being bullied, as long as they don't be too good. My concept is very simple, if others are good to me, I will be good to others, and if others attack me, I will fight back. As for love, forgiveness, tolerance, those are all farts. We have love for others, and we don't let others use them as capital to hurt us. So, when someone deliberately hurts us, then we should fight back. People who don't know what to do don't need to be tolerated, let alone forgive, just get rid of them in order to be pure. People can live like this, so why should they care about good or bad? β
Speaking of this, Wang smiled and smiled, showing an enlightened look, and said: "If a person wants to get rid of the sea of suffering, he must let go of his obsessions. With the distinction between good and bad, one can never be truly detached. You can't be a good person, you can't be a bad person. But in fact, whether you are a good person or a bad person, there is no need to be persistent, just be yourself. β
Hua Nan's expression was greatly invigorated, she jumped off the bed, hugged Wang Xiao tightly, and said gratefully: "Wang Xiao, you are still smart, I have been thinking about things for more than ten days, but I didn't expect you to speak so thoroughly in a few words." I really appreciate your reminder, and I feel bright all of a sudden. β
Wang Xiao sighed in his heart. How did Hua Nan know, just these three or two sentences, how long did he understand before he understood. What is more than ten days? He has been like a day for decades, entangled all the time, and then he can have today's realm. But to this day, he still can't say that he has come to the end of the bitterness, but can only say that he has escaped from the sea of hell and suffering.
"Don't be too happy." Wang smiled lightly and said. "Easier said than done. It's one thing for you to understand the truth, it's another thing to be able to do it. If you want to really reach the realm I said, you have to successfully break through the tests of reality, and finally you can do it without any obstacles. Otherwise, in the face of difficulties and temptations, we will still sink into the sea of suffering. β
Hua Nan laughed. Let go of Wang Xiao, hit Wang Xiao on the shoulder, and said, "Anyway, I thank you for your help." Just these few words you just said are on top of my ten or eight years of enlightenment. I feel a lot more relaxed now. Even if others design to frame me again, I won't defend myself anymore. β
Wang smiled and said, "How is it?" It's time to go out with me! β
Hua Nan thought for a moment, shook her head and said, "No." I can't get out. I'm going to stay here. Wang Xiao, I appreciate your efforts to save me, but Guan Qun is my boss. He has been gracious to me. He was locked in, and I was let out. It's not like words. Although he was not betrayed by me, he was not suitable after all. I'm not going out. I'm going to stay here, lest anything involves me, and the police will try to get me back, which will be too troublesome. ββ¦,
Wang Xiao thought for a moment. What Hua Nan said is not unreasonable. His favor can only be used once. If Hua Nan is let out and arrested for other cases, then he will have to deal with the police again. It's too much trouble.
"But. If you don't go out, your parents will worry about you. Wang Xiao said worriedly.
Hua Nan showed a look of guilt. Said: "My filial piety has come to this, what is the difference between going out two days early and going out two days late." It's better to have a longer wound than to open it repeatedly. Wang Xiao, please help me tell my father and mother, and say that I will wait until the dust settles on this matter before going out. Let them not worry about me, I am alive and well now. It's just that I think when I go out again, I won't be stupidly manipulated into it again. β
Wang Xiao thought for a moment and said, "That's fine." You're going to stay here for a while. I think. Even if the police station lets you out, if you encounter a case involving Guan Qun, the police will ask you to help in the investigation. Since you don't want to go in and out of the toss, it's good to think about the future here. Hua Nan. As a classmate, I would like to remind you. Even if you do bad things, you don't necessarily make money. Also, you have to think about what it means to make money. β
Speaking of this, Wang Xiao stopped and thought about it again, and finally made up his mind and said to Hua Nan: "There is something I didn't want to tell you, I think you will naturally know when you come out of the police station." But since you insist on staying in this place, then I will tell you. It's time to think it through. Bai Liu is gone. β
After Wang Xiao finished the last four words, he looked at Hua Nan with some worry, and couldn't bear to see Hua Nan go crazy again. Unexpectedly. To Wang Xiao's surprise, Hua Nan was very calm. I must have been surprised, but I didn't look like I knew it for a long time.
Wang Xiao asked suspiciously, "You already knew?" Who told you that? β
Hua Nan let out a sneer from her nose. Slowly took two steps back, sat on the edge of the bed, and said lightly: "No one told me." But I had already deduced that this would be the case, so I was not surprised at all that there was such an ending. β
"Did you deduce that?"
"Yes."
"How did you deduce that?"
Hua Nan let out two more sneers from her nose, raised her eyes to look at Wang Xiao's eyes, and said with a cold smile: "Wang Xiao, if you stare at a person for three years, will you not understand what she will do?" β
Wang Xiao was silent.
Hua Nan said this coldly, but Wang Xiao felt deeply sad.
"I don't understand. Since you already knew that she would leave you when you were in trouble, why would you want to keep her with you? Hua Nan, what kind of woman did you choose, this is your personal private matter, and I have no right to ask. But, as your classmate, I really can't bear to watch you sink gradually, and I really want to ask you why. For the sake of a woman, you made it to be what you are today, do you think you are worth it? β
Wang Xiao couldn't bear to question Hua Nan.
Wang Xiao's voice was full of anger, not only for Hua Nan, but also for Hua Nan's father.
Hua Nan's eyes drooped and looked at the floor in front of the bed. After a long, long time, he raised his head again, looked at Wang Xiao and asked, "Wang Xiao, have you really understood a person?" Find out what he was like? Find out what he wants to do? Find out why he did that? Find out what he does in what situation? β
Wang Xiao nodded.
Hua Nan asked again: "Have you ever known about Bailiu like this?" β
Wang Xiao shook his head.
"Bai Liu is your girlfriend, I understand what she does?"
"That's right. So, you should know your girlfriend Zheng Fei? β
"Yes."
"Then let me ask you, do you know what Zheng Fei was like when she had no money?" β¦,
Wang Xiao was silent.
"Hehe, I don't think you know. And, you can never know. β
Hua Nan laughed, her smile was full of mockery, and even her voice was full of mockery.
"Zheng Fei's family is very rich, and you can also make money, you can't be without money. So. You can't know what Zheng Fei was like when she had no money. You don't even know this, how dare you say you know her? β
Wang Xiao remained silent.
Because he thinks Hua Nan has a point, if you look at the problem from this angle, he really doesn't know Zheng Fei.
I only heard Hua Nan say again: "You don't know what state Zheng Fei was in when she had no money." However, I know very well what the state of Bailiu was when I had no money. I also know very well what the state of White Willow was when I was rich. I had a clear idea of what she was like in each situation. With just a slight change in her, I can know what she's thinking. Whether she's honest about her thoughts, or she's hiding her thoughts, I can see through her heart. Wang Xiao, this is the real understanding of a person. In fact, you don't know Zheng Fei at all. β
"Zheng Fei may be a perfect existence in your eyes, but that's because you can only see her good side, and you don't have a chance to see her bad side at all. Women are such animals, and when life is easy, they are the loveliest people in the world. When life is hard, they are the ugliest people in the world. Because most women are extremely insecure, and for most women, security really means money. It's just that money is too blunt and cheesy. Women like to use the word security. But it's actually the same. β
"When a woman says she is insecure, what she really means is that she has no money in her hands. As long as you have the money. They feel safe. Therefore, a rich and merry old man has a sense of security in their eyes than a poor boy who has no money and decency. I know this very well. White willow is quite insecure. β
Wang Xiao was silent for a while, and asked, "Is this why you are desperate to make money?" It's because Bailiu is different when you have money or not, and you like the way she looks when you are rich, so you work hard to make money. β
When he said this, Wang Xiao's voice was full of regret, and he felt unworthy for Hua Nan's unwisdom.
Hua Nan sighed. He shook his head lightly and said, "I didn't mean to explain this to you. When I don't have money, he shows off in front of me, and when I have money, he flatters me in front of me. A woman like this, no matter how good she was when I was rich. She doesn't deserve my hard work for her. Because I clearly understand that her attitude is completely for money, which gives people a dirty and disgusting feeling, and does not make people really appreciate the enthusiasm of love. Therefore, there is really no need to make money desperately for it. β
"I am telling you this and I just want to tell you one thing. The world is full of contradictions, and there are many contradictory situations that we need to face, and when we can't find a way to break through in the face of these contradictions. We can only keep struggling inside. I'm just in trouble, and Bai Liu is just a person who triggers the predicament. β
"I don't know if you can understand the difference. But in fact. What I really need to face is not the white willow, but the predicament I encounter. Even there is no such person as Bai Liu in the world. If I were in a similar predicament, I would have fallen into it and suffered and struggled to break through. It's just that the external form is different. In terms of his substance, I just wanted to figure out who I was and how I was going to do it. β
"So, I'm desperate to make money, not for the sake of Bailiu, but just to try to solve the problem. I didn't know how to do it right, so I had to go and try every situation and see how it worked. β
For example, there is a saying that if you are kind to others, you are cruel to yourself. The meaning of this sentence is very simple, but those who have not experienced it personally will never be able to truly appreciate the deep blood and tears contained in this simple sentence. It's only when you've really tried to be kind to others that you know what a horrible thing it is. When you are dealing with a shameless person, the more kind you are to him, the more you condone his harm to you. This pain will later make you remember that kindness to others does not solve the problem. β
"To put it simply, I try hard to find my truest self and find my way to survive."
Wang smiled and sighed: "Then you should understand by now, even if you work hard to make money, it is useless." Because when you are in trouble, the white willow will still go. In that case, why would you take such a risk? In fact, in my opinion, you just chose the wrong person. As long as you choose the right person, you won't be so entangled. Maybe substitutions can't completely solve the dilemma you encounter, but you also have to admit that substitutions can always solve part of the dilemma. β
