"Want to pick it up?" Geng Chaozhong was stunned.

"yes, what, you have something else to think about?" Li Qingshan glanced at Geng Chaozhong.

"No, it's good to pick it up, Peking is her sad place after all." Geng Chaozhong hurriedly waved his hand.

Er Sheng's parents are dead, the Japanese are not interested in her, and Dai Jiangshan doesn't care about such a person at all, it is indeed a way to take it away, but I don't know why, Geng Chaozhong's heart suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

"Yes, after all, she is an orphan of a martyr, I am afraid that she will be harassed by the Japanese and the secret service, and I will come forward and take him to Tianjin, or Guangzhou," Li Qingshan's words continued, "If she is willing to work for us, I can arrange her to the Soviet District Nursery School, if she is unwilling, she is a student of Yan University, and it is not difficult to find a stable job." ”

"Soviet District Nursery School, isn't it appropriate?" Geng Chaozhong suddenly interjected.

"That's right, the Soviet area is in chaos now," Li Qingshan also nodded, "Or, you arrange for me to meet with her?" Rest assured, my father and I are old friends, and the name is right. ”

"This ......." Geng Chaozhong hesitated a little, but when he thought that the organization would send someone to see Er Sheng sooner or later, there was nothing to stop him, so after thinking about it, he nodded and said "Okay".

"Okay, let's set the contact information, you go back first, leave an address, and I'll go over later." Li Qingshan nodded with satisfaction.

..........

After a while, Geng Chaozhong walked out of the small courtyard with a lot of concern.

The organization will send someone to pick up Ersheng, which he had already thought of, but he didn't expect it to be so soon, but he and Ersheng .......

Er Sheng's weak and pale face appeared in front of Geng Chaozhong again, these days, he has been almost staying at home with this poor little girl, although Zhao Kezhen's death was the hand of the Japanese, but he always felt that he had more or less such a responsibility - if, if he was not so anxious to urge marriage, maybe Zhao Kezhen could escape this catastrophe.

But he immediately shook his head and threw away the unrealistic illusion.

Yes, the most taboo thing about my job is to have illusions, everything is a cold calculation, but in the past few days, I have briefly escaped this calculation and briefly become a "normal person".

Normal.......

Geng Chaozhong smiled bitterly and walked quickly back to the small courtyard where he and Er Sheng lived.

This is a very simple and quiet courtyard, with stacks of firewood, plum blossoms, and a few free-range hens - this was rented by Geng Chaozhong from an old farmer, in order to avoid possible harassment, such as the fake concern of the Japanese, and any environment and facilities similar to Zhao's mansion have also become something that Geng Chaozhong does not want Ersheng to touch.

Therefore, this small courtyard has become the best choice.

In the yard, the hens were "cooing", and Ersheng was sitting on the threshold, like a little peasant woman, spilling a few handfuls of bran rice in her hand, and then staring intently at the hens rushing up to grab food, with a satisfied smile on her face.

Hearing Geng Chaozhong's familiar footsteps, she raised her head and smiled, revealing a pale and touching face—it was a poignant beauty, and it was something that shook Geng Chaozhong's heart.

"Mr. Zhou, you see, these chickens and cocks are so interesting, as long as a handful of rice, they are so happy." Er Sheng smiled and pointed to the scene of chickens pecking in front of him.

"Yes, the lowest desires of people are no different, the first layer is physiological needs, such as eating, drinking, and Lazar, the second level is a little higher, that is, the need for security, and then there is the need for belonging and love, and only in the second and third layers can you be regarded as a real person." Geng Chaozhong told the story.

"What you said is so good, it really deserves to be Mr. Zhou," Er Sheng glanced at Geng Chaozhong with admiration, but there was a little more curiosity in his eyes, "Then can you tell me, in addition to these three layers, there is a higher level?" ”

"Yes, of course there is," Geng Chaozhong smiled happily at Ersheng's adoring gaze, "There is another layer, which is people's self-realization, simply put, it is to strive for ideals and realize the value of their lives." ”

"Sounds so sublime!" Ersheng stood up and patted his palm, which was stained with grains of rice.

"No, it's not noble at all, even if it's a bad guy, there are a lot of people who stand at the highest level, can you say that they don't have ideals? So, the so-called self-actualization, is a neutral word. Geng Chaozhong replied.

Er Sheng blinked his eyes and understood what Geng Chaozhong meant.

After a while, she opened her mouth again and asked, "Then do you mean, those Japanese, are also self-actualizers?" ”

"Yes, of course," Geng Chaozhong nodded, "It's just that I have a different goal from them. ”

"That is to say, it doesn't matter if it is noble or not, as long as there are ideals, even if you have entered the fourth level?" Ersheng asked.

"No, everyone has ideals, but whether they can take practical actions for the ideal and prove this ideal at a certain level is called self-realization, otherwise, it is just self, and it has not been realized." Geng Chaozhong said with a smile.

"Understood," Er Sheng walked over and gently grabbed Geng Chaozhong's arm, "Mr. Zhou, I have heard you talk about many things in the past few days, and I feel that it is very reasonable, I have always felt that you should not only be a spy, but also a scholar with a very high status." ”

"Do you feel like this conflict?" Geng Chaozhong glanced at Er Sheng and said with a smile.

"Isn't it a conflict?" Ersheng didn't understand.

"Conflict?"

"Okay, stop." Er Sheng was helpless, in the past few days, Geng Chaozhong often told her similar wit and enjoyed it, but she obviously didn't understand what Geng Chaozhong meant.

"You don't know, many people in the secret service call me a scholar-type agent," Geng Chaozhong smiled, "Actually, our secret service is very busy when it is busy, but it is also very idle when it is free, and when there is no task, many people will choose to go out for entertainment, but like me, as well as our Deputy Director Zheng, they choose to watch some things." Also, Director Xu of the Party Investigation Office, have you heard of it? ”

"I haven't heard of it." Ersheng replied very frankly.

"It's okay," Geng Chaozhong was slightly embarrassed, Er Sheng was obviously not a qualified complimentary, he paused, and continued: "Few people know that Director Xu can be said to be one of the earliest psychologists in China. ”

"That's amazing!" Ersheng was surprised.

"Well, I'm surprised," Geng Chaozhong was very satisfied with Er Sheng's expression now, but in a blink of an eye, his expression became serious again, "However, even a psychologist can only understand others, not himself, if he can really understand everything, then he is not a 'home', but a saint." ”

Er Sheng's eyes showed a thoughtful look, obviously, Geng Chaozhong's words touched her, and after a long time, she said with a touched face:

"Mr. Zhou, I know, you have been enlightening me, and I thank you for always being with me these days, if only you could keep doing this."

"Why can't it be like this all the time?" Geng Chaozhong was silent for a moment before he spoke.

"Can it be like this forever?" Ersheng's eyes widened in surprise.

"As long as you want, you can." Geng Chaozhong replied solemnly.
