Chapter 53: Chivalry
"Shot? Who said I'm going to make a move? Fu Tianlin said with a smile.
Lin Fan was surprised and asked, "Why?" Didn't the gentleman decide to meddle in this matter? Why not make a move? ”
Fu Tianlin said: "Why should I make a move? I walked the rivers and lakes, and I saw a lot of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but officials like adults are rare. Adults are rare good officials in the world, although the official position is not high now, but with the ability of adults, if time passes, they will definitely be able to help the world, how can I take action against adults! ”
"If you didn't make a move, why did you stop me?" Lin Fan became more and more puzzled by him.
"Look, my lord!" As he spoke, he took out a pendant-like object from his waist and threw it to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan stretched out his hand to catch it, and looked carefully, Fu Tianlin threw over a round square hole copper coin, which was engraved with the words Yang Fu Tongbao. And under the rune on the copper coin, it is just a little less. Lin Fan looked at Fu Tianlin in surprise and asked, "Isn't this copper coin?"
Fu Tianlin said with a smile: "Your adult guessed right, this is that copper coin, and I will give it to your adult today!"
Lin Fan looked down at the copper coin, held it in his hand and looked at it repeatedly, he was a little unsure of what Fu Tianlin meant, and asked with some doubts: "What does this mean, sir?"
Fu Tianlin sighed: "Whether it is the government or the common people, they all know that the person the adults want to arrest is just a Fu Tianlin from beginning to end, and it doesn't matter if this Fu Tianlin is me or this girl." And now that this copper coin is in the hands of adults, there is no longer Fu Tianlin on the rivers and lakes! ”
Lin Fan was a little afraid to confirm his guess, he couldn't believe that there really was such a person in the world, he asked in disbelief: "You... Are you... Say? ”
Fu Tianlin continued: "That's right, I exchanged myself for this girl, what do you think?"
The woman was very moved when she heard Fu Tianlin's words, and before Lin Fan could speak, she hurriedly said: "Of course not, one person does things and one person does it, and the hero doesn't have to care about me." Phew, that dog officer, quickly return the copper coin to Fu Daxia, what's coming at me! ”
Lin Fan thought for a while, and asked Fu Tianlin with some puzzlement, "Why are you doing this?" Is it just for someone you don't know? Is it really worth it? You know, you are a repeat offender, and you have offended so many officials and rich gentry. In the hands of the government, it is rare to sentence a beheading after the autumn. Besides, with your skills, if you want to escape now, I can't stop you, are you willing to be caught like this? What's more, as I said just now, I won't arrest you today. ”
Fu Tianlin said with a smile: "There is nothing worth it or not, just like my lord, you know that this girl is not doing a big evil thing, but you are still unwilling to let go for the insistence in your heart, and you want to fight to the death with me." I may not have the same mind as adults, and the word chivalrous is the avenue in my heart, and I can die for it. ”
Lin Fan was stunned, and couldn't help but think of what he would do if he replaced Fu Tianlin with himself.
He shook his head, if it were him, he would never be caught like this, I'm afraid it would be more likely to choose to kill this woman with him.
Lin Fan knew that when he saw injustices on the road, he would also draw a knife to help, but it was difficult to send him to death for a stranger who had nothing to do with him. At the very least, I can't be so decisive at the moment.
The reason why this happened was not because Lin Fan was afraid of death, but simply because it was not worth it. Since he was a child, he has heard from his father and his husband that he should behave in the world and focus on the overall situation, know how to weigh the pros and cons, and not lose big because of small things. With his parents and clan, his life does not belong to him completely, and everything cannot be done only by his own temperament.
Whether it is a father or a husband, they are not pure people of the rivers and lakes, and their understanding of the rivers and lakes will inevitably be biased. always thought that everyone in the rivers and lakes was forbidden by force; They do not obey the law, they fight bravely and fiercely, and they are angry and blood is splattered five steps at every turn; I think that most people in the rivers and lakes are doing things in the name of chivalry. Even for those real chivalrous people, they may have respect in their private morality, but it is difficult to agree with them in their public hearts.
Lin Fan vaguely remembers that when he was a child, he learned a lot of stories about heroes and heroes from the storytellers in teahouses and restaurants or novels and picture books.
I still remember that I found my father excitedly, and excitedly said that I wanted to be a hero when I grew up.
The father just smiled, rubbed his head dotingly, and said, "It's a good thing that you want to be a hero." But have you ever thought that chivalrous and righteous can only save people for a while, but not for a lifetime. It seems to be saving people from fire and water, but when the knight leaves, everything will return to the original state. ”
At that time, I was still young and asked ignorantly: "Daddy, daddy; What can we do to save a lifetime? ”
The father picked himself up, put it on his lap, and said softly: "If you really want to save people, as long as you can make all the people in the world live a good life." The great man of chivalry should be for the country and the people! Of course, to do this, you have to study hard and learn your skills well. ”
I have to say that the influence of my father and husband on Lin Fan is irreplaceable. Perhaps since Lin Fan was a child, Lin Ruxian has never interfered with how Lin Fan does things or how he chooses, and he may not expect Lin Fan to really reach the height he said one day; But his concept is influencing this Lin Fan all the time.
For Lin Fan, as he grew older, the idea of wandering the rivers and lakes when he was a child had long since passed away. Now that he is also an official, the road under his feet seems to follow the arrangement of his fathers, and everything is as they expected. However, unlike his fathers, Lin Fan never thought that there was a big or small number of chivalry.
In these troubled times, natural and man-made disasters continued, officers and soldiers, bandits, thieves, droughts, locusts, and plagues; Everything is a matter of human life.
So even if you can only save people for a while, it's better than not saving 10,000 times, as for saving one person and peace in the world, in fact, most of the time the two are not in conflict, and they can even be said to complement each other.
In his opinion, chivalrous deeds may be big or small, but chivalrous hearts are inferior.
Lin Fan came back to his senses and looked at Fu Tianlin scrutinically, this person in front of him was like an ancient ranger, arrogant and dry, heavy on one promise and light on life and death.
People like him, Lin Fan had only heard of them in stories before, but he had never seen them, and he thought that most of them were made up by unambitious literati and writers to deceive the world, but he didn't expect that there really were such people in this world.
Lin Fan held the copper coin in his palm tightly, he slowly turned around, turned his back to them, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go, you remember, from today on, Fu Tianlin is dead, don't let me hear this name again from now on." Otherwise, even if it is the end of the world, I will definitely arrest you and bring you to justice. ”
This time it was Fu Tianlin's turn to be a little surprised, and he said, "What? The adults have changed their minds and want to let us go? ”
Lin Fan closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "While I haven't regretted it now, hurry up, otherwise when I change my mind, it will be too late!"
"If you let us go, aren't you worried that you won't be able to make a difference in front of your boss?" Fu Tianlin asked.
Lin Fan said impatiently: "You don't have to worry about this, I have my own way to deal with it, let's go!"
Fu Tianlin saluted Lin Fan again and said, "Okay, my lord's righteousness, I keep it in mind, I hope your lord will take care, and we will leave."
After speaking, Fu Tianlin helped the woman up and slowly retreated.
Just when the two of them were about to disappear into the night, the woman suddenly turned around and said to Lin Fan's back: "Hey, I misunderstood you, you are a good person."
Hearing the woman speak, Lin Fan seemed to remember something, suddenly turned around again, and said, "Wait!"
The woman thought that Lin Fan had repented, and said angrily: "You villain, bastard, I knew you wouldn't let us go!"
Fu Tianlin naturally didn't think that a person like Lin Fan would go back on his word, he asked calmly, "What else is the matter?"
Now that he has made up his mind to let them go, Lin Fan will no longer suffer from gains and losses.
Automatically ignoring the woman's scolding, he said to the two: "I just remembered that I still have some things to understand, and I am a little curious, and I want to ask this girl."
Lin Fan asked the woman: "This girl, what kind of person are you, the girl with the accent should be from the capital, and I don't think you can even scold people, not like you are from the market, but like a lady, how can that girl have such good skills?" The prosperous place of the capital has never suffered from swords, how could the girl end up here? ”
Knowing that she had just scolded the wrong person and made a fuss, the woman blushed a little. When asked by Lin Fan about the past, sadness and ...... resurfaced on her beautiful face. Resentment.
She didn't know if she should tell the two in front of her about her life experience, although she believed that neither of them was a bad person, but her identity was not ordinary after all. In case this bastard dog official in front of him, who is about the same age as himself, has bad intentions again, and wants to tie himself back to ask for credit, he really wants to cry without tears.
Seeing the woman's hesitation, Fu Tianlin said: "If you can trust the two of us, the girl will say that it doesn't matter." If the girl still has concerns, we will not force it, and I believe that Lord Lin will also forgive the girl. ”
After the woman saw that Lin Fan also nodded in agreement with Fu Tianlin's words, she gritted her teeth, and Lin Fan, who had made up her mind, said, "Since you are the king...... Well, if you want to know, I'll tell you. ”
The woman saw Lin Fan squatting on the side, looking like he was waiting to listen to the play, and heard him muttering that there was still a shortage of tea and melon seeds, and after a little pity, she was really angry, and she wanted to kill this bastard. But when she recalled her miserable life experience, she was a little sentimental, so she didn't bother to talk to him anymore and began to talk about her experience.
She smiled and said, "Actually, there is nothing I can't say about my identity, and I think no one should remember me now!"
