"Time, life, everything you encounter in life is related to your fate, sometimes you feel that it may be someone else's mistake that has affected you, and you are very depressed. As everyone knows, this person is also arranged by fate to interfere with you, and can you change your life? The answer is obvious, of course, it can't be changed. So, not only you, but also me, including everyone, our power is small. But do good deeds, don't ask about the future, don't care about the immediate gains and losses, as long as you do it, God will see it, whether it is a good thing or a bad thing, you will get the corresponding results, it's just a matter of time sooner or later........."
"I understand, thank you grandpa for your enlightenment, my heart feels much better now!"
Ah Ren had just straightened out some things that had happened recently, and just wanted to take a nap, when he heard the voices of an old man and a young man from the side, listening to the content of the conversation, like his grandson had encountered something difficult, and his grandfather was enlightening him. At first, Ah Ren didn't pay attention to it, but after listening to it for a while, he found that the old man was really insightful when he spoke, and he couldn't help but take off his blindfold and look over.
"Huh?"
Ah Ren couldn't help but let out an exclamation when he looked at the old man for the first time, this old man is so good-looking, and how can he look so familiar, as if he has a sense of déjà vu, Ah Ren thought about it carefully, and never remembered where he had seen him!
The conversation between the old man and the young man had come to an end, and he gently patted the young man on the shoulder and said, "Go to the aisle to breathe!"
The young man walked out according to his words, and the old man turned his head to look at Ah Ren, "Xiaoyou, do you think what the old man said is wrong?"
Ah Ren originally had a good impression of this old man, and then looked at his kind look, he liked to chat with him even more, hearing the old man's question, Ah Ren smiled slightly, and said: "The old man is very good, the kid is admired, just now I just felt that the old man seemed to be familiar so I was amazed, and I hope the old man will not be blamed!"
The old man smiled heartily, "Haha, in this case, you and I are a bit fateful, why don't you come over and talk about it?"
"Don't dare to ask for anything!" Ah Ren likes to deal with happy people the most, looking at the heroic appearance of the old man, it is really happy.
After the two sat down, the old man asked Ah Ren, "Where are you going?"
Without any precautions, Ah Ren said truthfully: "Back to Luoyun from Kyoto, old man, what about you?"
"Coincidentally, I'm too, my son works in Luoyun, and I'm bored in my hometown alone, so I also moved over, and I accompanied my grandson to Kyoto a few days ago, and I haven't been here for many years, and the change is really big!"
The old man seemed to have a feeling, and after finishing speaking, he looked out the window and said no more.
Before chatting for two sentences, the atmosphere fell into embarrassment, Ah Ren smiled, broke the old man's gaze, and said: "The big change is not only Kyoto, but also the change in our Luoyun, I haven't been back for several years, when I left, Luoyun was only a second- or third-tier small city, not to mention the economy, this time I came back to see, I can't believe it, the change is too big, I heard that the country is preparing to turn it into a first-tier city, but also focus on the economy, so to speak, although Luoyun is not as prosperous as Kyoto, life here should be good!"
The old man was pulled back by Ah Ren's words, looked at Ah Ren for a while, smiled mysteriously, and said, "Look at Xiaoyou, it's not like a bad guy, tell you a secret." ”
"Oh, boy, listen to me!" Ah Ren likes to listen to other people's secrets the most, and when he heard the old man say this, he instantly became interested, and deliberately leaned forward, for fear of being listened to by others.
"Luoyun City can have such a rapid development, all thanks to the city's leading enterprise Jiuxian Group, and my granddaughter works there, how about it? Not only that, my son also works in Luoyun, with the rise of Jiuxian Group in recent years, but it has been stained with a lot of light!"
The old man looked proud when he mentioned his granddaughter, and it was obvious that he should have doted on this granddaughter very much.
Hearing outsiders praising his company so much, Ah Ren couldn't be happier in his heart, but he said quietly on his face: "Oh?
The old man's face changed, and he sighed and said: "Hey! If this is the case, the old man is also leisurely, but unfortunately, some things can not be let go, this time I went to Kyoto to see some of my former comrades-in-arms, and I was deeply touched, and found that they are not as good as me!"
Ah Ren followed Hu Lao's words and said: "Hehe, that's it, don't look at them all living in Kyoto, it's not as good as the people in our small city, and people are satisfied!"
"Yes, people do know enough, at least compared to those old comrades-in-arms, I am still alive. ”
Ah Ren was stunned when he heard this, and then he realized that he would be wrong, looking at the sad expression of the old man, he suddenly felt empathy, he also had comrades-in-arms, and he had also seen his comrades-in-arms sacrifice in front of him when he was on a mission before, so this kind of mood, Ah Ren could understand.
Talking about this kind of topic, Ah Ren sat down busily and said word by word: "Taiping is the general's decision, and it is difficult for the general to enjoy peace." These people are all heroes, they are all great heroes who have paid the price of their lives for the peace of this society, they can no longer be compared, they can only be used to worship, the old man, the deceased are gone, look at the point, the living are more tired, because the living people still have to shoulder the tasks they have not completed, with their expectations, continue to walk. ”
The old man looked at Ah Ren in surprise, he really couldn't imagine that these words would come out of the mouth of such a young man. If you weren't someone who had experienced something, how could you feel so emotional.
The old man couldn't help but ask curiously, "What does Xiaoyou do?" Have you ever been trained in the army before?"
Ah Ren smiled faintly and said: "We are both fallen people at the end of the world, why should we know each other when we meet." Everyone meets each other, why bother talking about these side matters, isn't it interesting to be able to talk about life together!"
"The same is the end of the world, why should we have known each other when we meet", the old man kept repeating these two sentences, and after a while, he slapped his thigh and praised loudly: "Good poetry, really good poetry, this artistic conception, this metaphor, really... Xiaoyou, I haven't heard this poem before, dare to ask if you made this poem?"
"I haven't heard it before, haven't I heard it today!" Ah Ren did not explicitly admit it, but gave the old man an attitude of not denying it.
The old man laughed when he heard this, and said: "Xiaoyou is really interesting, chatting with you like this, the old man suddenly feels that it is best to live alive!"
Ah Ren smiled knowingly, knowing that the old man's heart knot had been opened, and continued: "That's right, people are satisfied, look at you, your children and grandchildren are around, you don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and you can still walk around, how happy, when I get old, I want to live such a life!"
"Haha, listening to Xiaoyou, I really have more knowledge than those old guys. In this way, my grandson asked the old man a question a few days ago, and the old man always felt that he was not satisfied with my answer.
The old man asked Ah Ren like a student who was humbly seeking advice.
Ah Ren wanted to chat with the old man for a long time, but he didn't expect it to be the other way around, and the plaintiff became the defendant, but Ah Ren would not be naïve to think that the old man was just such a dry thing, people of their age have rich experience, but he said it in a more special way, but even so, Ah Ren is very willing to share his advice with others.
Ah Renqing coughed and laughed: "Old man, you are too modest, and you are too ridiculous to praise the kid, but since the old man asked, the kid is ashamed to say a few words of his opinion." In my opinion, life is like a journey, you don't have to care about the destination, you don't care about the scenery along the way, and the mood to see the scenery. Twilight is coming up again, and everyone is in a hurry. In the world, each has its own state of existence, its own mental journey, and its own values. In today's rampant materialistic world, if a person pays attention to self-adjustment, he will pursue less materialistic desires and more spiritually, and have a life of idle clouds and wild cranes, and less worldly tiredness. Then you can enjoy the scenery along the way in a very relaxed way. Cherish everything in front of you, let yourself live every day happily, and don't come to the world in vain. I wonder how much the old man thinks the kid said makes sense?"
"Yes, that's the answer. Before the old man could speak, there was a burst of admiration behind Ah Ren, it turned out that the old man's grandson had returned, obviously, Ah Ren's answer was more suitable for the young man's state of mind than the old man.
"Attention passengers going to Luoyun City, please bring your luggage and belongings and get off the bus in an orderly manner. ”
The voice of the announcer rang out in the carriage.
Ah Ren and the old man glanced at each other, and smiled like a heart, although the old man wanted to talk to Ah Ren for a while, but the time passed in a hurry, but the young man asked a little unwillingly: "Where is this brother going?" My sister will come to pick us up later, if we stop by, we might as well go together!"
Ah Ren said with a smile: "Don't bother, I'm not in a hurry, I'm in a hurry, go around, you two please, Luoyun is not big, we will meet again if we are fated!"
"Hehe, meet Xiaoyou today, I believe it should be fate, I have treasured this bracelet for decades, somehow I especially want to give it to Xiaoyou, I hope Xiaoyou will not shirk!"
As he spoke, the old man took off an off-white bracelet from his wrist and handed it to Ah Ren.
"Grandpa, this is ......," the young man said in disbelief.
The old man raised his hand to stop the young man's words, and looked at Ah Ren expectantly.
Ah Ren took it and took a closer look, this bracelet was white and dull, and it looked very ugly, some were square, some were round, and it was extremely ugly, but it could be seen that it meant a lot to the old man, because some of the edges and corners had been smoothed out. Ah Ren quietly used his little mana to take a look, oh my God! This is actually made of human bones, Ah Ren was a little moved, thinking about it, these bones should be left by his comrades-in-arms before their deaths, he was reluctant to bury them after collecting them, plus the nostalgia for his deceased comrades-in-arms, so he has always stayed on his body.
After Ah Ren finished reading it, he handed it to the old man with both hands, and said with a solemn face: "Old man, although the elders give it, I dare not resign, but these skeletons are of too great significance to the old man, so the kid does not dare to accept it." But I don't recommend that you take it with you all year round, because these dead bones need to rest and you can come out of this experience..."
Out of the station, Ah Ren parted with the old man and said goodbye, looking at the back of Ah Ren leaving, the young man next to the old man couldn't help but ask: "Grandpa, how can he see that this is a human bone? And he knows that this is ......?"
The old man sighed and said with emotion: "There are talents from all generations of the country, each leading the way for hundreds of years, this young man is not simple, and his future achievements are limitless!"
"Grandpa, what are you two looking at?"
A pleasant greeting came from behind the old man, and the old man turned his head to look at the girl, and said with a doting face: "Qing'er, you are so busy, we will take a taxi and go back, and let you run like this!"
