Chapter 30: Happiness and Sorrow
Therefore, the other party will never join forces unless it is absolutely necessary. Of course, there is also the premise that the other party thinks that the amount of power we show is still within their control. Otherwise, once the other party thinks that our strength is too strong, they will not be such a stupid bystander. ”
"It feels so complicated......" Li Ran frowned slightly and sighed.
Rubbing Li Ran's little head, Chu Kun smiled slightly and continued to walk forward. Li Yan chuckled and pulled Li Ran, who was still sighing, to follow Chu Kun's footsteps.
In the county of the end of the world, which has come so many days, it is no longer possible to hear the sound of the street vendors before the end of the world, and the sound of bargaining, and the noisy people who used to be bustling and noisy on the lively streets are mostly full of serious faces at this time, and their steps are hurrying by, everyone tries to distance themselves from strangers, for fear that one will be attacked by the other party if he does not pay attention to himself.
In the alley, a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old and a man with a sallow face, a desolate dress, beggar-like appearance walked towards each other without squinting, and just as the two were about to pass by, they took out a knife and stabbed each other almost at the same time, and the two did not seem to expect such a thing to happen.
In their opinion, it should be their own sudden killer, and the other party was caught off guard and killed by themselves. The down-and-out man who reacted immediately ignored the bleeding wound in his abdomen, gritted his teeth and pulled out the knife that was also stabbed in the opponent's abdomen, and stabbed the boy fiercely again, and the young man who couldn't react was immediately stabbed to the ground by the down-and-out man several times in a row.
Seeing the boy fall to the ground, the down-and-out man threw away the knife in his hand, hurriedly rummaged through the boy's body, and after finding a biscuit the size of a baby's palm in the boy's arms, he immediately felt like a mad demon in ecstasy, for fear of being robbed by others again, he swallowed the biscuit in one bite, and licked the remaining crumbs on his palm.
The down-and-out man who ate the biscuit was half-lying on the ground against the wall in a daze, unaware of the bleeding wound in his abdomen. Looking at the dying boy on the ground, the down-and-out man suddenly curled up with his hands and knees and cried, while the young man on the ground who was dying laughed brightly.
That smile is so warm and innocent, as pure as a baby without a trace of impurities, but it makes people feel inexplicably sad.
In the dark alley, lying on the ground with blood all over the ground, a young man with a bright smile on his deathbed; A down-and-out man dressed with his back against the wall, but curled up with his hands on his knees and crying; and the young man who watched this scene on the street outside the alley but had an indifferent face, and the two beautiful women behind the young man with complicated eyes like fairies.
This strange scene constitutes a shocking and inexplicable picture.
"Brother Chu, why didn't we save that young man just now, we could have saved him!" Leaving that gloomy alley, Li Ran, who was usually smart and lively but kind-hearted, couldn't help but ask.
Chu Kun turned his head to look at Li Ran. On the young face, Gu Jing Wubo's eyes revealed a sense of seeing through the vicissitudes of the world that did not fit his age, Chu Kun opened his mouth and asked lightly: "Why do we want to save him?" ”
"Because he's pitiful!"
"So, where is he pitiful?"
He ...... He ......, "yes, where is he pitiful, because the other party is about to die?" The boy wanted to kill but was killed, where is the pity? Li Ran was suddenly speechless.
"If it wasn't the boy who was lying on the ground at that time, but the down-and-out man, would you still feel sorry for him?"
"The reason why you pity him is, in the final analysis, just because the other party is a weak person and a loser. The weak will always arouse sympathy. Chu Kun said with a meaningful sigh.
Is this the case, is the reason why I sympathize with the other party just because the other party is a loser, Li Ran asked herself, and she suddenly found that she didn't seem to have any reason to sympathize with the other party except for this.
"And, on the contrary, of the two, the boy is the happiest one, and the down-and-out man is the one who deserves the most pity." As soon as the words turned, Chu Kun instead talked about the down-and-out man who belonged to the victor.
After listening to Chu Kun's statement, Li Ran was stunned and asked puzzledly: "Brother Chu, I can understand that you say that the young man is not worthy of sympathy, but why do you say that the young man is happy, and the down-and-out man is a poor person?" ”
According to Chu Kun, there is nothing to sympathize with when a young man is killed if he fails to kill, so where is there anything to pity about the down-and-out man who obviously belongs to the victor.
"What is the expression of the down-and-out man after killing the boy? What was the boy's expression when he was dying? Chu Kun asked rhetorically at Li Ran.
With Chu Kun's reminder, Li Ran suddenly found that the two of them had strange expressions when the young man was dying, yes, it was strange in Li Ran's opinion, the down-and-out man who was obviously the victor was hiding his face and crying, and the young man who was a loser who even lost his life showed an innocent smile. This strange scene made Li Ran puzzled.
"The happiness of the boy lies in the fact that he is dying, and the pity of the down-and-out man lies in the fact that he is still alive!"
Looking at Li Ran's increasingly confused expression, Chu Kun continued to explain: "The dead teenager doesn't have to worry about the daily food, and he doesn't have to worry about this cruel last days, for the teenager, death is a kind of relief, relief from this endless pain and torture, even if the way to get rid of this is death." ”
"On the contrary, the living and destitute man will continue to suffer from hunger and cold, always worrying that the person who will one day pass by him will suddenly burst out and kill him, enduring nightmarish intrusion every second, even if the other person is still alive in this world."
"Actually, this is a very simple truth, and the reason why you don't understand it is because you will never be able to experience the feeling of a teenager who is desperate to the extreme, and is willing to die to liberate him; and the feeling of a down-and-out man who has to survive by any means as long as there is a glimmer of hope for survival! ”
"Although you have been experiencing constant fighting with monsters since the end of the world, compared to them, your life is heaven, and only those who have truly experienced it can understand what kind of deep despair it is."
Speaking of this, Chu Kun recalled himself in his previous life, how could he not be like a down-and-out man at that time, as long as there was any hope of survival, he would continue to survive.
"It can be said that the young man is cowardly and wise, the cowardly chooses death, and the wise chooses the liberation of happiness; And the down-and-out man is stupid and strong, stupid chooses to live, strong chooses to endure this cruel and sad life. ”
