"What are you hesitating about? Don't miss the time! The money shopkeeper urged.

"This?"

"You? What are you waiting for? You? In order to save this world, for the sake of the world! I! Money someone willing! Pour your life savings, including mine, and follow you! You? You're still not at ease? Do you want me to swear? You? ”

"Me? That was not what I meant? ”

"And what do you mean?" The money shopkeeper said, grabbed the sharp knife on the low square table in front of him, and looked directly at Zhuangzi.

"You? You? What do you want? Seeing this, Zhuangzi didn't understand the meaning of the money shopkeeper, and asked anxiously.

"You're still worried about me, aren't you?" The money shopkeeper asked.

"It's not that I'm not worried! You know it! Zhuangzi looked the money shopkeeper up and down and said, "You are a human spirit!" You should know that things are not that simple. Wishes are beautiful, but reality is cruel. I? I? I really haven't thought about it yet! I? ”

"Why haven't you thought about it yet? I've seen it! You! Still don't worry about me! You? It is the nature of Taoism to doubt everything! I know! Furthermore! In today's world, where is there still honesty and loyalty! Right! I understand! Good! I'll swear now! ”

As he spoke, the money shopkeeper put his left palm flat on the table, and his right hand held the knife, and stabbed it down at once.

"Tom!"

There was a muffled sound from the low square table.

"Whoa!"

The tableware, wine glasses, wine jugs, etc., on the table, shook and made a sound.

At the same time! Blood splattered.

A severed finger rolled off the side.

The money shopkeeper withdrew his hand holding the knife, and the sharp knife was still stuck on the table. His left hand, still lying flat, didn't move. At the severed finger, blood flowed.

"You? You? Why are you doing this? You? Zhuangzi hurriedly reached over, grabbed the left hand of the money shopkeeper, and pinched the severed finger.

"You said you? You don't even believe me, who else do you believe? You don't believe me, you should also believe Bai Lao! Bai Lao can't be wrong to look at people! Do you think Bai Lao is wrong about me? You? ”

"Bandage! Let people bandage! Zhuangzi said anxiously.

His hands were soon stained red with blood. Blood trickled down his fingers.

"You, you?" The money shopkeeper broke free of Zhuangzi's hand, thrust the severed finger of his left hand into the wine glass, and said, "What is the severed finger?" Chill crucially! Whether you can exchange your determination and settle this matter like this is the key! ”

"This, this, this? You? Are you pushing me? You? Money shopkeeper? You? Zhuangzi was so anxious that he wanted to say: You? Do you think that if you take this extreme/end way, I will promise you? Believe you?

But! He still didn't dare to say it.

I had to continue to say vaguely: "This possibility is there!" Can me? I can't do it right now! I? My mother is still in Qi country, and Rong'er and Sister Qing'er are still in Qi country! They are all my weakness, if they have three strengths and two weaknesses, I can't do anything! I? ”

"You? You? Zhuangzi! You've let me down so much! You? ”

As he spoke, the money shopkeeper picked up the severed finger of his left hand from the wine glass, picked up the napkin that was set aside, and bandaged the severed finger. From the severed finger to the bandage, he didn't scream in pain, and his face didn't change color, as if he was fine.

"If you want to achieve great things, you can't look ahead and backward, when you are constantly interrupted, there will be troubles!"

"She's my mother! She is my only relative! Before I can make a decision, I have to find my mother, show my mother, and settle my mother. Otherwise! My heart will be disturbed! And Rong'er, I promised my mother that I would marry Rong'er as my wife. Rong'er is the only descendant of Shigong's family, and Shigong is kind to our family. My father and mother and I are both orphans, and if it weren't for my father-in-law, there would be no family. So! I must marry Rong'er, I must protect her, and give her peace for the rest of her life.

It's your duty to be a human being! The responsibility of being a man!

I can't ignore them because of me! I have to settle them in before I can do what I want without fear. If they don't want me to do it, I'll just give up! It's that simple! Because! I can't live because of me. I and my family, my loved ones, are one! ”

"You? You? The money shopkeeper bandaged the wound and said, "You? Are you only for yourself and your family, and you don't care about the world? You? ”

"Me? I'm not that great! I? I can't even take care of myself and my family, so how can I save the world? ”

"You? You? Zhuangzi! After bandaging the severed finger, the money shopkeeper pointed at Zhuangzi with his right hand and shouted: "You? You've let me down so much! ”

"If my mother and Rong'er support me, I'll come back and do it!"

Seeing that the money shopkeeper was so angry, Zhuangzi added: "How can I be alone, if I don't have my mother's words, if I don't have Sister Rong'er and Sister Qing'er, I will do this!" But? Now I am the Son of Man! It's a husband! As a son of man, we must give our parents and elders a happy and peaceful old age. As a husband, I have to do my duty as a husband. As a father, I must raise my children and take care of my offspring to the best of my ability. And then! If I had that ability, I would only consider taking care of the people around me, taking care of more people!

I'm incompetent! For the time being, I can't save the people in the world, so I have to be a son of man first and take care of my mother. And then! Go take care of my wife, and then! Take care of my children and future generations. And then! It's the people around me who live, and then! It's more and more people......"

"Enough!" The money shopkeeper shouted angrily.

Zhuangzi ignored the anger of the money shopkeeper and continued: "I am not as great as Confucianism. I, Zhuang Zhou, am a flesh-and-blood person, as a Taoist, as a Taoist inheritor, I should understand this truth even more. I, Zhuang Zhou, want to be a man first, let myself live first. And then! Do your best to take care of others, take care of my parents and elders. Take care of my siblings, take care of people who are related to me, take care of those around me. And then! It's about taking care of more and more people.

What qualifications does a person who can't even protect his own life have to talk about saving the world? How can a person who can't even take care of his own parents have the ability to save the world? A person who can't even take care of his own relatives, what ability does he have to save the world?

Sacrificing one's life for righteousness, Taoism also talks about sacrificing one's life for righteousness. The protector of Taoism is such a person. They sacrificed their lives for righteousness, but they had no relatives to care about, so they sacrificed their lives for righteousness. Giving up a small family and everyone, it is also with the consent of the family, and it is also a last resort, so they do it, not casually.

To cherish the lives of others is to cherish your own lives! Instead of encouraging others to die! To sacrifice oneself and one's family for the sake of righteousness and everyone. Our own lives are gone, what is the point of our personal sacrifice and the sacrifice of our small family?

Only if we are alive can we have everything.

I think? That's not preaching some good qualities, but! It is deceiving the individuals and families who have sacrificed and those who are about to be sacrificed.

Only if we are alive can we have everything. ”
