Act 1 The Present World Chapter 77 The Annoying Rag
Reichi remembered very well that he had heard a story that Reichi could not calm down for a long time after hearing it.
She is talking about a man running on the endless Gobi Desert.
Why did you run for your life? Why is that?
Because there is a tiger chasing after him, he wants to use it as food.
However, due to human instinct, saving one's life is the only option.
This deserted person doesn't even have a book to cover up, what should this person do?
How do panicked people hide in the Gobi Desert? What's more, how can a man outrun a tiger?
Suddenly, he saw a dry well in the stall next door.
He was about to jump into the dry well when he saw a vicious python open its bloody mouth, waiting to swallow him in its mouth.
The python was waiting for a God-given meal.
So what to do? There is a tiger behind him, and a giant python at his feet.
What should he do in life?
He expects the appearance of the Buddha, God, or some other deity who can save him, and he is willing to give everything he has as long as it can save his life.
Just as his foot slipped away, he saw a branch sticking out of the wall of the wellhead, swaying in the cold wind.
Fate is always like this, and at the most critical moment, God appeared and gave him hope.
He tried with all his strength to grasp the straw that saved his life.
He jerked the light up and tugged at it. Finally pulled the dead branch.
The branch hung from the wall of the dry well, and he hung in mid-air.
The tiger looked at him fiercely, but could not eat.
The evil reckless mouth widened and could only look at her viciously, but she still couldn't eat.
This man, or human being, is safe for the time being.
He didn't fall, he desperately used his strength to grab the dead branch, and he could get a moment of stability.
Finally, after that, he realized that something was wrong.
He saw a white mouse and a black mouse, gnawing on the branches.
Very seriously!
This branch will only have one end under the gnawing of two mice, that is, the branch will eventually break.
But when he will be able to fall into the mouth of the giant python depends on how fast the white mouse and the black mouse can eat.
His heart was flustered, and there was no hope.
He was worried that the feeling of waiting for death seemed to be more torturous and uncomfortable than death.
But hope was always born in despair, and he caught a glimpse of a huge beehive beside the branch.
From time to time the honey slipped down, and he hurriedly stretched his neck, opened his mouth, and stuck his tongue out.
He tasted the sweetness of the honey in his greed, and he seemed to forget about the coming of death for a while.
He greedily grabbed the honey until the end of his life.
This fable, after hearing it, Zero One only felt sensational and shivered.
Isn't that just about people? Man is greedy!
It seems that the meaning of life becomes how much honey you grab in an instant?
However, the end is the same for all people.
This story is sad and dry.
It's really sad for a Lingyi who is working hard.
Later, the teacher talked about China and the West, and forced different interpretations in this life journey.
In the West, he created a heavenly kingdom on the road of life.
It is believed that the end of man is not just the so-called death, but that there is a heaven where people can fight for the glory of heaven one day.
Do good deeds before you are alive, and you can go to heaven.
But when scientific civilization developed to a great extent, the doctrine of discovering heaven seemed to be based on a falsehood that people did not know where heaven was.
It seems that the dream of heaven, this way out, has been shattered.
Then there is another Indian doctrine, which is Buddhahood.
The prerequisite for becoming a Buddha is that you purify the six roots and take refuge as a Buddha.
You cut off everything from this earthly world, that is, you will no longer be you, and selflessness is a required state.
Suppressing all human desires and beliefs into a selflessness.
Get rid of the ego and enter the realm of selflessness, so that one day you will become a Buddha.
But Chinese Confucianism is not quite the same, they take one of them.
Confucianism, or Confucius, did not completely suppress the desires of all people, nor did they propose a third way, the so-called existence of the kingdom of heaven.
It is a self-cultivation Qi family and a peaceful world.
Personal desires should be controlled and not too greedy.
There is also the so-called gentleman's theory. A gentleman, a person has to do something for this society, the world, or say something.
The so-called ghosts and gods are no longer ghosts and gods, but return and rebirth.
The original meaning of ghosts in ancient texts is to return, the gentleman does not talk about life and death, and the villain talks about life and death; The villain wants to die, and the gentleman talks about returning, that is, returning.
The so-called ghost is to return, life refers to God, refers to living, and the gods are ancestors and shelters.
Only then did Ling Yi know that the so-called ghosts and gods heresy, their most original meaning, was so simple and unpretentious, just returning and being born.
She suddenly felt that the breadth and profundity of Chinese culture gave a way out for all those living in the world.
That's what you're doing for this country, for this society.
Of course, there is also the contribution of the family, the simplest is the extension.
Continuity originally referred to the continuation of life, or the continuation of life.
This is why the Chinese say that there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is greater.
Chinese care very much about the continuation of their children and love their children, which is completely different from Westerners.
Westerners are independent, Chinese are stretched.
Westerners are 18 years old, what should you do? You are you, I am me, and we are completely separate individuals, sometimes completely non-interfering with each other.
For the Chinese, your child pins his hope on you, in a sense, he is for you to survive in this world when you have returned.
Maybe with your will, maybe with a part of your soul.
And as long as the Chinese are your children, they will be your children in this life.
No matter how old he is, even if he has gray hair, he is your child.
And this hope, and this attachment to life, is alluded to the next generation, extending and spreading, of course, including their own unfulfilled wishes.
Going more smoothly than she was, this is all the hope of Lingyi's mother, Xiaoqi.
However, for Reichi, sometimes it feels very depressing to be with his mother.
She longs for freedom, she longs for leaps, but her wings are not tough enough.
She couldn't escape her mother's love or control.
At this time, Song Lei seemed to be a stone thrown on the calm lake in Lingyi's heart, causing ripples.
Many of the youthful troubles in her heart began to be told to Song Lei.
She felt the light in her life.
Song Lei is indeed quite talented. In this regard, he seems to have a high level of emotional intelligence.
He is very good at observing words and feelings, he is very good at pleasing girls, and even girls don't know about it, all of this is done by him on purpose.
This so-called man is not bad and woman does not love.
For Reichi, this is a little freshness given by her boring and tasteless high school life.
But after one semester, after the end of the first semester of high school. Lingyi gradually discovered that Song Lei had changed, and he was different.
He no longer treats Zero One gently.
He seemed to be tired of talking to Lingyi all the time, borrowing books and such pediatric things.
But Lingyi's relationship with him in her heart was very simple, she didn't think much about it, she also treated him as a kind senior and helped her improve her grades.
In other respects, Reichi is very dull and has no interest.
Several times, Song Lei wanted to pull Ling Yi's hand, but Ling Yi flatly refused.
She knows that now for her mother, if she is in an ambiguous relationship with any boy, this is the bottom line of the ban.
What's more, Lingyi likes Song Lei, but she respects her seniors, she just wants to do a good job in her studies, and she doesn't have the feeling of falling in love.
Mom seems to have emphasized since elementary school that Reichi would not fall in love at least until college began, and she also promised.
Moreover, it was not long after my grandfather passed away. Mom seems to have changed her whole person, immersed in sadness, and seems to care a lot less about her, and just routinely asks him if he has done his homework? I can understand these words in class.
And then she just kept working. Non-stop work, she seems to want to get herself out of her grief through busy work. Pull out and forget those sorrows.
But Spirit listened to it several times at night. Crying sounds can be heard in Mom's room.
There was also the voice of my mother shouting for her grandfather in her dream, and she heard it too.
Reichi knew that her mother missed her father.
She didn't want to give her mother any more blows at this time, not to mention that there was a lot of pressure on her studies now, and she wanted to learn the course well.
For feelings, Reichi is more like an insulator of love.
She had no feeling and no desire.
She wants her grades to be better, better, perhaps, maybe her mother will be happier when she hears about her grades, and maybe her mother will be less sad and painful.
Maybe slowly my mother will be able to accept this fact of my grandfather and be able to treat it calmly.
Time is the best way to test everything, brutal and real.
Song Lei, looking at his efforts this semester, did not get what he wanted in Lingyi, obviously his patience gradually diminished and disappeared.
She's tired of not winning three rounds.
Long-term love really requires patience, and Song Lei doesn't need to act anymore.
He wanted to pull away, she was tired of it, novelty was his flavor enhancer, but for this elm pimple, Lingyi, who always didn't let him get close, he really didn't want to perform, and he couldn't perform anymore.
Once he gave a lecture, he was furious.
"If you look at a girl's house, you never wear a skirt. Don't you know that your legs are thick? You wear a skirt so that you can cover a little bit, don't you know that your legs are thick and ugly? It was his first terrifying roar.
Lingyi was scared stupid, she never expected that Song Lei, who was polite and polite on weekdays, and his eyebrows and eyes were caring, but this time he looked at her like a hungry wolf, disliked her, and scolded her for nothing.
Lingyi seems to have become a piece of garbage that no one in this world wants, or a disgusting rag.
