Chapter 351: Reluctance
For the ancient demon's desire to speak again, Ning Xiao seemed to feel something. This made her nervous again. Because of his long lifespan, God has a somewhat vague concept of death. However, God has a catastrophe of death, which makes the concept of death clear. However, the difference is that death is something that must be dealt with. But the death calamity can be avoided in a way.
However, Ning Xiao quickly resolved this depression about the death calamity.
In the human world, there is a wise man who once said when discussing the way of life: life should be "content, insufficient, and not content", and only a life that achieves the "three knowledges" is a complete life.
Contentment requires everyone to look at their work and life situation dialectically, and not to stand on this mountain and see that mountain higher. Bathing in this water, and thinking that the water is purer; Don't rack your brains for fame and profit, and live too tired; Don't go on the road of breaking the law and committing crimes for the sake of insatiable desires. Think more about what you already have, and you will be content and happy.
The ancient Chinese also used the "Song of Contentment" to "think about illness and suffering, and the absence of illness is a blessing; Thinking about sorrow and suffering, peace is blessing; Thinking about the suffering of death, it is a blessing to live. There is no need for high-ranking officials to be generous, and there is no need to pile up gold and jade. Three meals a day, there are many blessings of nature, I advise the world, do not be content", to warn the world, contentment is a blessing.
Lack of knowledge. The "insufficiency" here has two aspects, on the one hand, the lack of work experience, and on the other hand, the lack of one's own knowledge. It is inevitable and understandable that individuals have shortcomings in their work, "people are not sages, who can do nothing". The key is how to deal with inadequacies.
"Knowing the insufficiency" is the only way to identify the gap; "Lack of knowledge" will lead to pressure and motivation; "Knowing the insufficiency" will have a clear direction of efforts; Only by "knowing the insufficiency" can we have a target and calmly respond to various opportunities and challenges.
Not contented. Human life is finite, though
The pursuit of a career should be unlimited and "not satisfied". If a person has no new pursuits and is always satisfied with the status quo, that kind of life is a pool of stagnant water, without waves, as bland and tasteless as a glass of boiled water. It can be said that such a life is incomplete.
Of course, the "discontentment" mentioned here is not an over-standard or even marginal pursuit, not an insatiable desire, but on the basis of "contentment" and "lack of knowledge", advancing with the times, establishing a strong sense of enterprising, and marching towards the higher goal of life and career.
In fact, every intelligent living being should establish the consciousness that who cannot determine the length of life, but can broaden the breadth of life.
Ning Xiao, who was relieved in his heart, said goodbye to the ancient demon. Only when everything around her was back to normal did she wave her hand and let the wind test the big devil and leave a few drops of blood behind.
So, when she returned to the desert oasis, it was already late. There were few pedestrians on the streets, and only a few tireless four-legged carts were still coming and going in search of business.
Ning Xiao didn't want to take a detour from the main street, so he forked into a narrow alley.
The alley is long, unlit, and dark. But Ning Xiao's eyes were still bright. After all, in terms of her cultivation, this is not a dark night, not much different from the day.
At this time, she suddenly noticed a little girl in the corner of the roadside. I saw the little girl clasping her hands in front of her chest, leaning against the corner of the wall and sleeping soundly. Ning Xiao couldn't help but stop and walked towards the child, muttering in his heart which parent was so careless and irresponsible, and the child was not in a hurry if he didn't come home so late.
Because no matter at any interface, as a continuation of life, children, are quite valued. This is true even in the divine realm, where few children are born.
This girl is about seven or eight years old, compared to the villain king. She was probably very tired, so she could sleep so deeply in such a not cool weather. So much so that Ning Xiao picked her up, but she didn't wake up. In her sleep, she looked at her brows tightly, and her immature face was imprinted with deep tears.
Looking at her, Ning Xiao couldn't help but feel a little sad. So, Ning Xiao woke her up, asked her where her family lived, and prepared to send her home.
The little girl opened her misty eyes and looked at the strange Ning Xiao, as if she was not surprised, and muttered in a low voice: "What about my father?" Where's my dad?"
When she looked up and saw that it was dark in the sky, she began to cry, very sad but did not dare to speak up.
"Don't be afraid, child, I'll take you home. What is your name? Where do you live? How do you sleep on the street? What about your mom and dad? In a hurry, Ning Xiao didn't even consider that he was only facing a child, and asked so many questions at once.
The little girl said that her name was Mengzhen, and she looked at her carefully with two big eyes, and said timidly: "You are Zhao Moumou's mother, right?" I know you, you go to school every day to pick up Yang Cheng, and I am in the same class as him. β
"Oh!" This time, Ning Xiao was taken aback. No matter how naughty her son is, he can't appear in the demon world. However, she did not deny it outright. After all, there will be a few of them in every interface that looks similar. Maybe the little girl came across one of them. It just so happened that it was my classmate's mother.
Ning Xiao sent Mengzhen home. The lights were all on in the narrow suite, but there was not a single living shadow.
"Mengzhen, where are your parents? Why aren't you there?"
"I don't know where my dad went. I don't have a mom. β
"No mother?" When Ning Xiao heard this, his heart was half cold.
"Hmm-" Mengzhen nodded earnestly.
"Do you know how to find your dad?"
"Yes, I know!"
"You'reβ"
At this moment, Mengzhen's father returned.
This is a tall, thin man, and anxiety and emaciation can't hide his elegance. When Ning Xiao explained the situation of meeting Mengzhen, this big guy actually hugged his daughter and cried, which made Ning Xiao at a loss.
It turned out that Mengzhen's parents had divorced a few years ago. Mengzhen's mother is gone with an out-of-town demon who is doing business, leaving behind her husband who teaches and her young daughter. Recently, Mengzhen's father bought a relatively spacious house in the alley that Ning Xiao passed through earlier.
Because I have to go to work and take care of my daughter during the day, I have to wait until my daughter finishes her homework and goes to bed at night before she can take care of her new home. Unexpectedly, this caused Xiaomeng to really be suspicious, she thought that her father would go out after coaxing her to sleep every day, and she must have found her stepmother.
She is afraid of her stepmother like the vicious woman described by her classmates, and even more afraid that her father will be like her mother, who will never come back after going out and never want her. So, tonight, when Dad asked her to sleep, she obediently went to bed as usual, and as soon as Dad went out, she quietly followed behind. She had to find out where her father had gone, and she would be able to find him in case he didn't come back.
And Mengzhen's father was unaware of all this, he never expected his daughter's tracking and waiting at the door of the new house. When he came home from his new home, he was horrified to find his daughter's cot empty.
Almost mad, he searched the streets looking for his daughter. Later, he couldn't find it, so he wanted to go home and try his luck. As a result, Ning Xiao happened to be waiting at home with his daughter.
Walking out of this broken family, Mengzhen's appearance of sleeping on the cold street with her eyebrows tightly on her eyebrows lingered in front of Ning Xiao. Compared with the villain king, who is still a three-inch pea, Mengzhen seems to have a lot less innocence and happiness, and more worries and worries. What is even more obvious is the timidity and maturity that her young mind shows when she is overwhelmed.
In this way, Ning Xiao couldn't help but think of his son's happy laughter and cheerful games, and his son who was bathed in the joy of childhood was so happy. She thought that she was fortunate to have a fairly stable marriage, that she had never abandoned her children because she had become a god, and that she had not caused her children to suffer trauma that he should not have suffered. Although she had countless reasons to stay away from marriage, she later decided that it was an unwise choice for the sake of her children's happiness.
Marriage, something simple and complicated. In ancient Greek mythology, it is said that the man of the past had two heads, two pairs of eyes, two hands, and two pairs of feet, and had infinite wisdom, incomparable strength and extraordinary talents, and was omnipotent, and dominated everything. Because man was too intelligent and wise, he was jealous of the gods, and they sued the Creator. In a fit of rage, the Creator split such a man in half with his sword. As a result, after losing the other half of life, no matter how wise or powerful people are, they are far from what they used to be, and they cannot be compared. In order to make up for this great shortcoming, people began to look for the other half of their lives, and this formed marriage.
However, in the rolling red dust, the two halves of life that have been split have no evidence, and it must not be easy to reunite and return to the original one. Therefore, some people feel that marriage is more about making do with life, and more about helplessness.
Marriage is not an object, you want it, you want it, you lose it. It creates children to bind you and make it difficult for you to maneuver. And among the pain caused by divorce, the child is the most innocent. With the dissolution of the parents' marriage, the children's hearts are shaky, the children's dreams are shattered, and they bear punishment for no reason, including the trauma of the heart, the broken love, the ridicule and ridicule of the children.
As a mother, she can give her son a lot. But the most basic thing to give is the warmth of a simple family, a normal environment where he can play freely, study with peace of mind, and grow up happily. Therefore, the happiness she wants is the happiness of her children.
So, Ning Xiao told himself like this, he couldn't put his child's golden innocence into a broken marriage, he couldn't deprive his child of the simple right to βββ love of his parents, and he couldn't let his child's colorful dreams freeze in the cold corner of the night. In the child's world, the father is the sun, and there is no substitute for strength and warmth; Mothers are a comfortable nest, and there is no love and comfort that can be replaced.
"Xiaoyanagi, the affairs of the demon world are almost straightened out," Next, she decided to go back to the human world to see her villain king, and she was instructing the system. "You're all in order. I've got to go back and see the villain. β
"Yes, master!" The system also sensed Ning Xiao's return to his heart, so he agreed with a mouthful.
