Chapter 31: Descending the Mountain
Qin Ming and An Zili were far away from the altar, and the wind at the top of the mountain was very strong, so they didn't hear very clearly what the Yi family was arguing with the black-clothed man in the academy.
However, although they couldn't hear clearly, they could guess what was going on over there through the reaction of the Yi family.
Especially after seeing the Yi family hand over Yi Shaodong to the man in black led by him.
"It seems that the academy is going to take Brother Dong back."
An Zili exclaimed, and then looked at Qin Ming with some concern.
"Hmm. We can't do anything but depend on his luck. ”
Qin Ming sighed unwillingly, although he was watching Yi Shaodong being caught in the ghost gate, but as An Zili said before, they couldn't do anything at the moment.
"Hmmm......"
An Zili nodded, he wanted to say something more, but he couldn't say the words when he came to his lips.
"Let's go too, there's no point in staying here any longer."
Qin Ming was reluctant to stay longer, because not only was he unable to help Yi Shaodong's affairs, but on the other hand, it was the influence of the altar on him.
He was now struggling to suppress that will to kill, and coupled with the evil temptation from the altar, he was afraid that he would really be lost if he lingered any longer.
"While the people in the academy aren't paying attention to us, it's better to leave."
An Zili nodded in agreement, and then the two of them left along another way down the mountain.
Coming down from the top of the mountain, Qin Ming also felt that the attraction that affected his mind had been reduced a lot, which made him even more sure that the root of the problem was on that altar.
It's just not clear if it's the altar itself or if there's something buried under the altar.
Compared with the desolation on the top of the mountain, the bottom of the mountain is still as they were when they came, showing the strength of the Yi family as a thousand-year-old family.
Qin Ming originally thought that all the Yi family members would go to worship their ancestors, but looking at the number of people on the top of the mountain, it was obvious that some of them were not there, and they were still working in various places in the entertainment area.
"Yi Shaodong doesn't send us, how should we go?"
After walking for a while, Qin Ming suddenly realized this problem.
"If we find a car, we should just drive it ourselves."
After An Zili finished speaking, Qin Ming asked her uncertainly:
"Do you know how to drive?"
"Won't you?" An Zili asked in surprise.
"I'll only take the car."
Qin Ming smiled awkwardly, because he really couldn't drive.
"Then there is no way, and I won't drive it." An Zili sighed, also feeling a little embarrassed.
"I remember that in the villa where we lived, there was a bicycle for two people. We can ride down the mountain, and when we get to the bottom of the mountain, we should be fine. ”
"But will the people on the roadblock let us go?"
"I don't know, try your luck."
Qin Ming didn't think that those people guarding the roadblock would be embarrassed for them, if they really wanted to ask, they would just tell the truth.
The two men then pushed the tandem bike out of the villa where they had been staying. Qin Ming and An Zili sat on it one after the other, and after sitting on it, An Zili also subconsciously put his hands on Qin Ming's waist.
Qin Ming was a little unnatural, but he didn't say anything, although the two of them were not slow to run with all their strength, there was no need to waste meaningless physical strength.
Moreover, he actually wanted to find a way to relieve his mood.
Qin Ming had forgotten how long it had been since he had ridden a bicycle, and he remembered that the last time he rode a bicycle was when he was just in junior high school.
At that time, many of his classmates had bicycles, although he was very envious and wanted it in his heart, but because he didn't want to add a burden to Qin Hengyuan, he didn't say anything, and then Qin Hengyuan felt it himself, so he bought him one.
But after two days of riding, the car was stolen before the freshness had passed.
He hasn't ridden since.
Because there were no cars passing by, Qin Ming and An Zili rode bicycles and drove downhill all the way.
"Do you think there will be gods in this world?"
Qin Ming didn't know what he thought of while riding, and suddenly asked An Zili.
"Perhaps. I don't know. ”
An Zili shook his head, not knowing the exact answer to the question.
"Can you believe it?"
"I don't believe it. If there really is a god in this world, it will not let the academy act so recklessly. ”
"There are so many people in the world, and there are so many people in the world, even if the gods want to take care of it, I'm afraid they don't have so much energy."
"Perhaps. But a lot of times, I also feel that gods exist.
Because I can feel the presence of fate.
We feel that our life is like this mountain road, there are high and low, there are beginning and end, we can only choose to walk or stop on this road, walk fast or slowly, but there is no way to change the direction of this road.
And the one who built this road is the one who decides our fate. ”
"Do you think that fate is the trajectory of our lives?"
"Well, a fixed trajectory." Qin Ming's voice was a little depressed.
"If fate is fixed and cannot be changed by man, I think it's actually not bad.
Because as you just said, we can only decide how fast and slow, and we can decide the length with a limited length, so don't think about the future, just focus on the present day.
No matter how you think about it, your future is there, and you either get there, or approach it, or stop and look at it from afar. ”
Qin Ming understood what An Zili meant, he was silent for a while, and then said:
"But I'm going to be very unwilling.
I'm also scared about the future.
Because the people who want to rebel and want to get rid of the academy are definitely not the only ones who want to get rid of the academy.
But the academy is still there.
Many people are still suffering from its persecution, while many more people, like us now, dare not speak out, and can only think in their hearts about what will happen in the future.
But for us, the future is a more distant time, but for us, the present time is what they thought at that time.
However, their situation has not changed, and neither has the academy changed because of them.
So will our future be them?
What we are powerless now will be what we will be embarrassed in the future?
I'm afraid that I'll still be as useless as I am now, and I will still be as weak as I am now. I was afraid that I would become like those people, who could only fantasize about freedom in their own hearts.
You can only put your own hopes on others. ”
When Qin Ming said this, An Zili suddenly put down his feet, forcibly stopped the speeding car, and then pushed Qin Ming down from the car.
Qin Ming fell to the ground, turned his head and looked at An Zili with a blank expression, completely unaware of what the other party was trying to do.
As for An Zili, he was a little angry at this time, so he said to Qin Ming loudly:
"No one can fully predict the future, just like you can't imagine that I'm going to suddenly push you out of the car.
There will always be people who succeed and people who fail in this world.
But success or failure is never defined by one thing. Rather, it is defined by itself.
If you do something with all your might, but you fail, it's your fate.
But if you haven't even done this, you feel that you can't do it, then you don't even deserve to fail.
Also, how do you know that those who have failed, they are really trying their best? ”
Looking at An Zili blankly, Qin Ming suddenly felt ashamed in his heart, he was a big man and a girl who could see it thoroughly, so he hurriedly patted the dust on his body and stood up, smiling at An Zili in a relaxed mood:
"I'm sorry to make you laugh, I'm a little unconfident, but ...... in the future
I'm not going to be like this anymore. ”
Between Qin Ming's words, his gaze returned to his previous firmness.
