Chapter 7 What is Trust?
"I'm so angry, tell me how I can make that guy my subordinate."
The young man clapped his hands in annoyance, "I forgot to ask him what his name is." ”
A chubby little boy who followed the boy said, "Give him a strong bow or a sharp sword, he will like it." ”
"You like it!" The boy patted the chubby boy's head unhappily.
"The other party is so good at arithmetic, he must like arithmetic books. You can find an arithmetic book and give it to him, he will definitely like it. ”
"That makes sense, I'll look for it now." The young man entered the City Lord's Mansion, secretly took out a sutra from the library, and slipped out of his arms in hiding.
At this time, Shaolan also got the news that Mu Wen brought back, and the young man entered the City Lord's Mansion.
Shaolan smiled bitterly, not knowing what to do.
Not long after, the boy appeared in front of Shaolan.
"Na, as long as you follow me, I'll give you this sutra, it's out of print."
"No, the arithmetic is enough, and I have no intention of delving into arithmetic."
The boy choked.
"Don't be ignorant, believe it or not, I'll beat you." The chubby boy behind the boy threatened.
"What, you want to force me to give in? So what a gift, hypocrite. ”
"I'm not a hypocrite, you wait for me, I will definitely let you be my subordinate." The boy was a little stubborn.
The young man who had left in a hurry returned in a short time, bringing with him a strong bow and a sharp sword.
"I'm not good at martial arts, and it's useless to give me these things."
The young man turned around and was about to leave, but Shaolan called him, "It's impossible for me to bow down just by sending things." I'm going to go out for a walk, and I'll talk about it tomorrow. ”
Shaolan was going to avoid the boy, but the boy was overjoyed, "Hahaha, this is my land, I am most familiar with it, I'll take you to play." ”
As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and the young man said, "Haha, I'm about to give out green dragon wood carvings to the poor, so you can go with us to distribute them." ”
said that Shaolan was not allowed to question, so he pulled Shaolan away.
The young guard followed behind him with a large bag of green dragon statues.
The group came to the slum.
"Come, come, come."
With the shouts of the teenager and the others, a group of children ran out from time to time, mixed with a few old people.
"Today, we will give you a green dragon wood carving and pray to it for good luck."
The children cheered and reached out to take the green dragon wood carving.
"Wait, you're going to send the wood carving?"
Shaolan grabbed the boy.
"Yes, almsgiving, what's wrong?"
Shaolan remembered an article about rough poverty alleviation that she had read in her previous life, and even the harm of taking it to the doctrine, how many poor households who can be self-reliant are unwilling to get out of poverty, and would rather be poor than get something for nothing.
"It's kindness, but I'm afraid it's not a good deed." Shaolan explained to the boy.
The teenager is in the rebellious period, but it is also the time when the ability to accept it is the strongest.
At this time, seeing that the young man only cared about chatting, and had not yet made a green dragon wood carving, the child, who had long been accustomed to taking things directly, complained bluntly.
"Hurry up."
"It's not going to be a trick on us, is it?"
"Hurry up and give it to me, you bad guy."
The young man's face suddenly became extremely ugly, this was not what he wanted.
Shaolan added, "Besides, some of these families may just happen to encounter something bad, and you gave them the Qinglong statue with good intentions, but you may also be blamed for it, thinking that the Qinglong statue is ominous." ”
"So what do you say?" The boy said irritably.
Looking around, Shaolan saw a dilapidated slum hut.
"They can be mobilized to find wood, mud and stones, and we can repair the huts, so that they can be rewarded for their labor, and they can do practical things while promoting the statue of the green dragon. You tell me? ”
"Okay." The boy agreed, and immediately mobilized the children to look for dead branches, mud, etc.
Although the children were a little upset that they couldn't get the statue of the green dragon directly, they soon started to frolic and play with collecting dead branches and mud.
Things were going well at first, and Shaolan tried her hand at her craft and barely repaired a hole in a thatched house.
When Masashi was full of pride, suddenly there was a cry.
But it was a little boy who was smashed on the foot while carrying a rock, and the surface of his foot was swollen.
"It's just a small thing, and it will be fine in a few days." The chubby boy pouted disdainfully.
The young man glanced at Shaolan, and suddenly said generously, "After all, you were injured by my orders, and I won't treat you badly." ”
Saying that, the young man threw him three pennies, "Go buy some herbs and put it on for a while." ”
The little boy excitedly picked up the money, "I'm fine, I can still work." ”
As he spoke, he hid the pennies carefully.
Hearing the little boy's statement, the boy laughed out loud and was in high spirits.
Seeing Shaolan frowning, the young man asked, "What's the matter, what are you frowning for?" ”
"It's nothing, it's just that the smashing of the foot may be frequent."
"How is that possible?" The boy didn't believe it.
Shaolan is a rural baby, and some villagers lured them to move bricks by buying fruits for their children to eat.
So, in order to eat one more fruit, Shaolan also did the stupid thing of smashing his own feet.
Sure enough, after a while, the second case and the third case occurred one after another.
The young man who was not good at favoring one over the other gave Sanwen money, but he was not stupid and realized the problem.
"Why? Is it worth it for the sake of sandime? The young man looked at Shaolan with some frustration.
"You're not, how do they know if it's worth it?" Shaolan, who felt a little uncomfortable, explained, "Because they are poor, their families are poor, and even a penny's income is a big thing to be happy about." ”
The boy was silent, summoned the children and distributed the statue of the green dragon, and then announced the disbandment.
Although some children blamed each other, thinking that they had paid more and deserved a bigger and more delicate statue of the green dragon, the young man had no time to pay attention to it and left with a smile.
"What's wrong?"
The boy shook his head, a little frustrated, "It's just that everyone is a little different from what I thought. ”
"Hahaha, life is varied, how old you are, where can you know everything. I'll understand it when I grow up. ”
"But you know." The boy was a little unwilling.
The young man looked at Shaolan with great sincerity, "Can you be my subordinate?" I will never treat you badly. ”
Shaolan shook his head, joking, in his previous life, he had heard of Qin Chuyan, Han Zhaowei, Qilu and other countries, but he had never heard of the Red Leaf Country, and there was no monarch with the surname Red Leaves.
This is not a nameless junior drowning in the torrent of history.
Shaolan asked himself that he was just an ordinary person, at most he had a little more broad-eyed horizons than the ancients, and he fought with the top people of the times, and he didn't know how to die.
He plans to travel the world when he grows up and join the power.
But people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. Now his own family is still in the other party's land, and his father Mu Yi is still in prison.
"It's okay for me to be your subordinate, as long as you answer my three questions seriously? 1. Why do you have to make me your subordinate? 2. What are your ambitions? 3. Can you trust me? ”
"Of course, before that, I will denounce them, they are unfaithful to you and deceive you, I have proof."
Shaolan hooked her fingers, and when the young man approached, she said in her ear, "I was talking nonsense just now, but people's hearts are complicated, you can see the performance of the two of them and then tell me what trust is." ”
The young man looked at Shaolan suspiciously, and then at his two followers, who both looked at him with some trepidation.
