The two of them hurried away by moonlight, and Yitong didn't ask why. A child like him is actually more accustomed to the night. For at that time in the evening, the adults he was afraid of went to sleep, and he could have free time to look at the shining stars in the sky.

Or in the moonlight, running...... Rush into the distance that belongs to him.

"Big Brother ......"

"Huh?"

Lin Chong turned his head and looked at Yitong who suddenly stopped in place.

"Actually...... I stole something. ”

"I know."

"Not that uncle's wallet. It's a cookie from a snack stand. ”

Yitong took out two small bags of biscuits from his pocket, one of which had been opened.

"And then?"

Lin Chong looked at Yitong with a smile.

"I want to go back."

"Isn't it your job to steal it?"

"Yes...... That doesn't seem right. ”

"Oh? Why? ”

"Because other people are going to be very angry and ...... Saddened. ”

"But if they're not angry, are they sad or not, what do you care?"

"But they're good people......"

"What do you judge?"

"Eyes...... And also...... Feel. ”

"Then why did you steal it in the first place?"

"I'm hungry ......"

Yitong looked at Lin Chong, and this time he didn't cry or bow his head.

Lin Chong looked at Yitong, and seemed to see Xiao Linzi, who hadn't grown up yet. also looked at him like this, and said these two words.

"Hmmm......"

Lin Chong didn't think about how to answer for a while.

"Let me have an idea."

Lin Chong smiled, and did not shy away from saying that he was already running out of words, or that he couldn't say anything.

"But we'll have to settle the bill first."

Yitong was still holding the biscuit.

"Take it, let's go make up the account."

Lin Chong patted his little head, and then Yitong grinned and put it away a little jumping.

Although Yitong is nine years old, he is only the height of Lin Chong's legs. He led the way at a trot in front of him, and then ran faster and faster, as if he had won some kind of commendation.

It's a pity that when I arrived at the snack street, Yitong's legs seemed to be filled with lead. The original joy on his face disappeared, and he blinked his eyes and looked back at Lin Chong who was hanging tightly behind him.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Chong looked at Yitong who ran back.

"I ...... I was a little scared. ”

"Afraid?"

Lin Chong wanted to say, "What are you afraid of, what is there to be afraid of", and then he remembered that there was a little ghost who was similar to Yitong back then, and he seemed to think the same way.

But that little ghost doesn't have a good big brother like him, and he doesn't seem to have the courage to do so.

"If you're afraid, think about it again, we're not in a hurry."

The two men began to look at each other again, and after a while, Yitong lowered his head. Then he squatted on the ground, clasped his knees in his hands, and his head was about to hang on the ground.

After a long time, the night market in the snack street was almost over.

"Then I'll go."

Yitong stood up and looked at Lin Chong.

"Go ahead."

Wing Tong turned around and turned back again.

"What if they scold me?"

"Bear it, you did something wrong, didn't you?"

"But I'm still going back......"

"Then you didn't steal? You were wrong first, and then scolded you twice, do you hate it again? Hate them, you have already returned what you stole back? Why are you scolding me? ”

"Or ...... Thinking that if I hadn't paid it back, I wouldn't have been able to endure this scolding. Now that I'm changing, it's just taking advantage? Thinking about the mistake but running to their side, are they wrong again? ”

Yitong was already crying.

"Am I right?"

Lin Chong looked at Yitong and didn't comfort anything.

Yitong nodded, and then tears began to flow down his cheeks, but there was no crying.

"Then why are you crying?"

"I ...... I'm thinking, it's clear that what the big brother said is right, but I still feel that I have been wronged. I wonder if I'm really a bad boy like the adults say. ”

"It's because he's a bad boy...... I don't have mom or dad. ”

Yitong's tears became more and more, and he even began to sob. But the child still suppressed his crying and did not let himself cry.

At this moment, there are not many people in the snack street night market, and those who should close are closed, and those who should be closed are closed. There were people who came and went, and some looked at this strange pair, but they only stopped for a few seconds and walked away.

Lin Chong tugged at his trouser legs, and then sat down cross-legged.

"I've heard a debate about what human nature is. I thought it was interesting and made sense, so I wrote it down. I'll talk to you about it now, you can write it down first, and think about it later. ”

"The man said that human nature is inherently evil, from birth to adulthood until old age and death. Because I have seen more things and wanted more things. There are more and more evil thoughts in my heart. ”

"But it's also because I've learned a lot and I've seen a lot. So there are more things that you can lock up. ”

"According to my understanding, if a wicked person wants to be a good person, you have to learn, study hard...... Learn how to make that chain, whether it's a house, strong enough, strong enough. Lock up the evils that grow with age. ”

"Locked up, you're a good person. Locked up, you might be a great good person. Of course, it could also be a good old man. Can't lock it...... If you're lucky, good people will come and beat you up and help you make up for what you haven't learned. ”

"If you are unlucky, it may be the wicked and the wicked. It may also be hanging over our heads, national laws, federal laws, human laws, so many sharp swords against you. ”

"Hello to you...... Or maybe you're stubborn. Someone will come down with a sword and cut off your head. ”

Yitong looked up at Lin Chong and listened without blinking.

"That'...... How can a small house be built firmly? What makes me a good boy? ”

"As I understand it...... Read more, then think more, see more, and walk more. ”

"What if it doesn't work?"

"Still not working?" Lin Chong groaned for a while, and then spread his hands helplessly, "That means that you haven't read enough books, you haven't read enough to think about it, and you haven't walked enough." ”

"As long as you want...... It's going to happen. ”

"Are you still wronged?"

"And a little scared......"

"Let's apologize first, maybe the store is a good person, too?"

Lin Chong smiled, and then Yitong thought about it and smiled.

With the money in hand, Yitong trotted towards the point where the store was ready to close.

"Uncle ......"

"What do kids want?"

"I'm here in the afternoon......"

"Oh, I know, you're the little guy who forgot to give money."

Uncle said suddenly.

"Hmm...... Uncle, No, give you money! ”

Tsubasa blushed, then bowed deeply, nearly falling to the ground.

"I'm sorry!"

"It's okay, it's okay...... Really good little guy, give it, uncle gives you a candy to eat, it will be regarded as a reward for you to know your mistakes and change them. ”
