Chapter 8 Antecedents
In fact, about the future, I have always had an awareness, that is, before a certain period of time, the peace and happiness I want may always be a flash in the pan, existing, but not for long, and even a little illusory.
And after a certain period of time? Is it just calm, but the so-called happiness you want is only full of regrets?
I didn't dare to think too carefully, I could only vaguely imagine that I was preparing for the worst for myself, but when Xiao Chengqian suddenly said that, my hand holding the cigarette couldn't help but tremble, and the cigarette between my fingers slipped down suddenly, and then rolled off my face, and I couldn't help but let out a low snort, and sat up from the flat boulder.
Because the action was too intense, it hit his chest, and at the moment he sat up, he couldn't help but stroke his chest twice and take two breaths of cool air.
Xiao Chengqian looked funny, and said in a somewhat frivolous tone: "As for your reaction? ”
I ignored Xiao Chengqian, but waited until the pain in my chest subsided before saying, "It's just that the smoke is hot, in fact, I have been mentally prepared." Entangled in everything, such happiness is no different from stealing half a day of leisure, and it is already very satisfying to have it. However, don't just say half of what you say, just be more direct. ”
"To put it bluntly, it's that we're leaving here and dying in the world, what do you think?" When Xiao Chengqian finished saying this, he jumped down from the boulder, clapped his hands, and stared at me.
His expression wanted to be relaxed, but the eyes in his eyes were extremely serious, and even a little heavy.
Outlaw? Is it that serious? Actually, I should have thought of it a long time ago I didn't answer Xiao Chengqian's question directly, but looked at him and said: "Your grandfather is also back, if it is said that the end of the world is a matter of our lineage, what are you doing with Shenhe?" Haven't you always wanted to go back, to get back your place, to get back what is yours? ”
Hearing me say this, a trace of anger appeared on Xiao Chengqian's face, and then he strode over, strangled my neck with his elbow, and said loudly: "You are a good thing, I provoked you." Jiang Ye is not necessarily much better, my grandfather provoked him, do you think we can stay out of it? That kind of life and from the moment you meet, it is destined that Lao Tzu will not be able to live, and even the Tao that Lao Tzu has always believed has changed because of you. That's what you're going to tell me? ”
The more Xiao Chengqian spoke, the more excited he became, I was overwhelmed by him, my face was flushed, I could only break his hand at once, coughed twice, endured the pain of my chest being torn by coughing, and then said: "Do you want to kill someone, or do you want to rob?" I'm going to call someone! ”
"Then your name!" Xiao Chengqian's face puffed up because he was angry, and it was a little funny to see me.
also jumped off the boulder, then patted Xiao Chengqian's shoulder, and just whispered: "Actually, I know." ”
Xiao Chengqian sighed, but after all, he didn't get angry with me, and was silent for a while before he said, "My grandfather said that it's okay if you don't go back to that place." ”
"Isn't it safer to go back?" I said seriously, after all, it is an organization, and it can rely on a lot of manpower and material resources, and even financial resources can provide some help, at least it is safer than dying with us.
After hearing what I said, Xiao Chengqian couldn't help but turn around, he put his hands in his pockets, looked at me very seriously and said, "Chengyi, that's not what I said. The organization is not the same organization as before, judging from some of the news that my grandfather received through secret channels when he came back this time, the people who really belong to our forces have been completely hollowed out. The environment you have lived in since you were a child is simple, and there are only 10 people in the division combined, you don't know the cruelty of the struggle, it's like fighting for the throne, once you sit on that pinnacle, is anyone willing to get out of the way? In addition, my grandfather has been gone for too long, and we can't go back at all, and we will be caught in the net when we go back. ”
I may really not understand these things, because I think that since this organization was created by the descendants of Lao Wu's lineage, then it should belong to them, how could this happen? But I don't want to understand these disturbances, just like some people's lives are pursuing a pinnacle of power and materiality, while others feel that a cup of tea and a meal is enough.
It can't be said who is right and who is wrong, it can only be said that when pursuing different things, it is not necessary to understand the other party's world in front of them, but it adds a touch of confusion to their own 'purity'.
Life is a kind of thing that moves at will, and what attitude is the state of mind, life is naturally what it looks like.
I was silent for a while and asked Xiao Chengqian, "Do you want to go back?" "I actually want to ask why we are going to die in the world, but, as a brother, I should be more concerned about Xiao Chengqian's thoughts, at least I don't want him to live reluctantly.
Xiao Chengqian sighed, stood beside me, looked up at the bamboo forest swaying in the sun, and said a little lonely: "Of course I want to go back, I have a lot of ambitions, such as so many people in the organization, I really want to clean their minds again, not afraid to admit calmly, what we pursued before, what we believed in the Tao is wrong, I want to lead the organization to a new direction, I even want to turn it into an organization that supports justice and has a clear bottom line!" No matter how bad it is, from now on, it is not impossible to become such a faint existence as a vein of the snow mountain, can I understand my strong man's unpaid heart? ”
"Yes!" I nodded slightly.
"It's a pity, I can't do anything about it, I can only listen to my grandfather talk about everything in the organization, and then it hurts! It's completely parallel to the other three evil sects, to put it bluntly, it's all crazy to follow Yang Sheng, I don't know how this Yang Sheng of TM did this. Xiao Chengqian couldn't say it anymore.
"You shouldn't doubt Yang Sheng's IQ, from the first time I saw this person, I felt that he was the kind of person who wanted to do anything, and he would definitely be able to do it to the extreme. Because he is really smart enough, otherwise he would not be said to be a young genius, and second, can you understand his persistence? That kind of obsession, for the sake of scientific research, he can't even take care of his own life, maybe he just disdains to pay attention to these unimportant details? "My previous understanding was actually not so profound, and when I said it myself, I found that such a smart and persistent person was really terrifying.
Geniuses are all paranoid, so is Yang Sheng a good interpretation of this sentence?
Xiao Chengqian didn't doubt my words, but when he heard me say this, his face became a little paler, and finally he roared weakly, and kicked on the ground with a little irritation, and then the bamboo leaves on the ground flew up one after another, and when the bamboo leaves fell, he said: "Maybe I am young and frivolous, and in the face of the organization I have worked hard to run, I have embarked on such a path, but my grandfather is much calmer than me, he told me." Yuanfa', it's never too late to enlighten, he just thanked Jiang Ye for letting him see a different world, different feelings, different righteousness, different persistence, and I also thank you for letting me experience different things, but I always feel that I am not satisfied, how can I be at peace with the destiny of heaven? However, my grandfather told me that doing my best is already doing, and I shouldn't look at it with an anxious heart. ”
After saying this, Xiao Chengqian was a little irritated again and wanted to light a cigarette again, but I grabbed his hand, took the cigarette, rubbed it, and threw it away.
I said, "You don't understand what your grandfather said, I do." In fact, he has already chosen to do it, even if he is with us to die in the world, it is a kind of confrontation and prevention, don't you understand? ”
"Is that so?" Xiao Chengqian suddenly felt a little helpless, but he looked at me with hope.
"Of course it is, think for yourself. Your grandfather just wants to 'pinch' the source of the 'evil' with us, and then choose to go back. I said seriously.
"I think I kind of get it." Xiao Chengqian looked at me and suddenly smiled.
I also smiled, grabbed Xiao Chengqian, and then pretended to ask casually: "Why do you have to leave the bamboo forest so soon?" Why do you want to die again? ”
"It was Jiang Ye who asked me to talk to you about it, just this matter, in the battle of Ghost Bay, Yang Sheng has completely torn his face with us, do you know? How big is the support for Yang Sheng now? When Xiao Chengqian said this, his brows furrowed slightly, this kind of thing seemed to make him very embarrassed when he mentioned it.
"The four major forces?" I asked uncertainly.
"That's just the biggest force on the surface, secretly, I listened to Jiang Ye and my grandfather talking, and accidentally mentioned it, it was immeasurable." When Xiao Chengqian said this, his feet unconsciously kicked the ground, as if this was the only way to transfer the pressure.
"If that's the case, then you have to kill us. Of course, if we're willing to submit, then why don't you find us in the first place? I mean after coming out of Onita Bay. My voice also became low.
"You think he doesn't want to? There are two reasons, the first is that there seems to be something on his side, and he hasn't had time to take care of us yet. As for the second, there are still people on our side who intervened a little and delayed a few breaths of breath for us. Xiao Chengqian said seriously.
"Who's helping us?" I am afraid that the only thing I can think of is Sister Jenny, and under this pressure, I am afraid that she is really the only one.
"I'm afraid you have to ask Jiang Ye specifically about this." Xiao Chengqian sighed.
"When are you leaving?" In fact, where can you go? I don't dare to think about this question, and I don't dare to ask it, if it is really as Xiao Chengqian said, it will be overwhelming.
"I don't know." Xiao Chengqian just whispered this to me.
