"If there is nothing left, there is no fear of thieves! Isn't it? Zhuangzi asked Mai'er.

Mai'er nodded, and then he was a little relieved.

Zhuangzi squatted down, hugged the twin sisters, Zhuang Ping, and Yang Hu to his side, and taught seriously: "Our family has nothing, and we are not afraid of thieves. Oh! Isn't it? Our family has no gold or silver, our family is poor, isn't it? ”

"Hmmm! Poor! ”

"Hmmm! Too poor to eat! ”

The twin sisters said sensibly.

Yang Hu did not show weakness and said, "Dad! No! No! I want gold, and I want silver! When I think about it, there will be gold and silver! Father! ”

Talking! Yang Hu became obsessed, as if he had countless gold and silver in front of him.

Zhuang Ping's little head turned and said, "Dad! I want gold and silver, too! I think I have a chest of gold and silver, and I reached for it, and the gold and silver were gone. ”

Talking! Zhuang Ping stretched out his hand to take the gold and silver in front of him, as if there was a box of gold and silver in front of him.

And then! After the two little guys finished speaking, they pretended to be depressed. Because! They got nothing.

Seeing that the children were all smart and sensible, Zhuangzi nodded with satisfaction. And then! gave Zhuang Ping, Yang Hu, the eldest sister, and the second sister a kiss each.

"Poof! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! ”

The twin sisters are the eldest and know a lot of things, and they are embarrassed to see their father kissing them.

Mai'er hugged Zhuang Geng, and seeing that Zhuang Geng seemed to want a kiss from her father, she gave her son a kiss.

The family was reunited and happy for a while before they separated.

The twin sisters took Zhuang Geng to the side to play, and Yang Hu and Zhuang Ping played together.

Yang Hu told him about going fishing with his father to the river, and about him playing by the river. Of course! Now he can't express it so clearly, and all he talks about is fragments. But! Zhuang Ping listened very carefully and looked envious.

Children use their body language and eye contact that adults don't understand.

The seller sat down in front of the desk again and began to embroider.

Zhuangzi also sat down at the workbench and knitted his straw sandals.

At home, calm has returned on the surface, but both Mai'er and Zhuangzi are not calm inside. Especially for Mai'er, she was very worried that accepting so many gold, silver, jewelry, and jade artifacts from the Chu State would bring a lot of unnecessary trouble in the future.

She put down the work in her hand, came to Zhuangzi, and asked.

"Ping'er's father! Woooooo ”

Mai'er still didn't change her instinct, and pretended to cry twice as she spoke.

Zhuangzi put down the work in his hand and looked at the seller.

He knitted straw sandals for the sake of pretending. In his nature, he was reluctant to weave straw sandals. He can use the time he spends weaving straw sandals to practice the Mind Realm Exercises, or! Focus on finding your lost son.

"What's wrong? You? ”

"Dad!" Mai'er cried: "When will they come and take Dongdong away?" Woooooo ”

"They shouldn't be coming!" Zhuangzi said.

"Won't it come?"

"The king of Chu is a king who has just taken office, and he will not go back to the Dongdong sent out. If he had to go back, he would not be a good king. A person who cares about everything about money, power, reputation, etc., will not be able to accomplish great things......"

The seller interrupted: "Is it? He just gave us this box for nothing? ”

Zhuangzi nodded towards Mai'er.

The seller shook his head in disbelief.

"I've given them good words too!" Zhuangzi laughed.

"Golden Jade Good Words?"

"Me? Alas! Zhuangzi wanted to speak, but stopped with a sigh.

This reminded him of what happened when he passed by Xianyang, the capital of Qin, when he went down the mountain.

Then! He was walking on the streets of Xianyang City, but was inadvertently spotted by Wei Ying's opponents. At that time, a new profession was emerging in various parts of the Qin State, that is, to survive and make money by reporting others to break the law.

At that time, the Qin State comprehensively promoted the new law throughout the country, everything was done in accordance with the law, and those who violated the law would be severely punished. There is a reward for reporting others breaking the law. So! At that time, the Qin State bred a group of people who made a living by reporting other people's violations of the law (similar to the anti-counterfeiters in modern society, who made a living by fighting counterfeits. ）。

Zhuangzi was so unfortunate that he was "reported" and went to the Qin State Prison.

In fact! Most of the people who were reported were innocent. But? Some people funded to deliberately create unjust, false and wrongful convictions by specifically picking loopholes in the law of Wei Ying. Report others, create false testimony to frame others, especially report and frame famous people, and someone will give you money behind the scenes.

Originally! You are violating the laws of the Qin State, but! There wasn't much of a big crime. But if you are framed by someone, as long as you have the slightest mistake, you will be deliberately magnified by others, and it will become a big mistake, and you should be killed.

Afterward! It was only under the personal intervention of Wei Ying and Qin Xiaogong that Zhuangzi was rescued.

Afterward! Zhuangzi and Wei Ying discussed the matter in the Xianyang Palace, and Zhuangzi said that he almost became a victim. And Wei Ying explained: On the road of civilization and progress, there will always be people who will make sacrifices. Mankind needs to pay a price for moving towards civilization. Civilization marches on the corpse of barbarism, and barbarism falls in the war with civilization. So! In the contest between civilization and barbarism, it is inevitable that many innocent people will suffer.

Lie down and get shot!

Zhuangzi said: Why is that person me?

Wei Ying said: Anything is possible. Anyone can meet them, and no one is exempt. It's you when you're on the stall, and you can't hide from it. Maybe? That's fate.

Zhuangzi said: As a Taoist, you should avoid it. As a Taoist, Master said that no matter what the circumstances, you can find a way to survive that adapts to you. Because! Everything in the world does not happen without a cause, but has a cause and effect.

For example, in the current situation of the Qin State, there are many unjust, false and wrongful cases, and it is because you Wei Ying came to change the law that those who reported others for breaking the law and making mistakes were born, and this new profession was born. If I had come to Qin earlier, I would not have been so lucky to meet it, and after a long time, I would have found a way to avoid it.

Wei Ying said: This is fate! So! You didn't circumvent it.

Maybe? That's fate!

This is the fate of the people of this era!

This is the inevitability of history!

The world is unified!

Judging from the current situation, if we want to unify the world, we cannot avoid war, and we cannot avoid large-scale wars. So! Most of our generation cannot avoid this protracted war of unification.

Mankind! Only after learning from the pain will most people understand life.

Otherwise! If you tell him the great truth of life 10,000 times, no one will listen to him.

It is precisely because of this that there is such a saying: when life is proud, it is Confucianism that is believed. When life is frustrated, it will study Lao Zhuang's philosophy in order to understand life.

That's it! Life does not experience setbacks and tribulations, and has always lived in good times, thinking that this is life, this is life.

Zhuangzi remembered these because he thought of his idea for the king of Chu Wei to let the king of Chu Wei conquer Wu Yue and set the south of the Yangtze River. Whether it is the conquest of Wuyue or the pacification of the southern barbarian tribes in the south, it is all to be exchanged for blood.

So! Zhuangzi thought it was cruel for him to come up with this idea.

But? This is also the inevitable consequence of history. Even if he Zhuang Zhou didn't come up with this idea for King Chu Wei, other wise men would also come up with this idea for King Chu Wei.
