Half-awake and floating Chapter 14 The Girl
The street outside the inn was full of traffic, and a familiar figure caught Li Mengzhou's eyes.
It was a girl, delicate and cute, wearing a long light blue dress, like a little fairy who had fallen into the dust.
However, her expression at this time was a little melancholy, and she was holding the brocade bag tightly in her hand, which was flat, obviously not containing too many things.
But when she saw those poor beggars, she seemed to have experienced a struggle in her heart, and with great difficulty, she poured out the few pieces of broken silver left in the brocade bag, threw them to the beggars, and then left without looking back, as if she was afraid that she would not be able to help but snatch them back.
Li Mengzhou looked at this scene with strange eyes.
I don't know what the purpose is, or if I don't have any idea at all, but I just subconsciously walked out of the inn and called out to the girl.
The girl turned around in confusion and stared at Li Mengzhou, who suddenly stopped her.
Li Mengzhou's expression was flat, and when he noticed the girl's eyes, he chuckled, "Don't remember me?"
The girl thought for a long time, and seemed to feel that Li Mengzhou was indeed a little familiar, where should she have seen it, but she still maintained a cautious appearance and silently took a step back.
Li Mengzhou frowned slightly, looked at the brocade bag in the girl's hand, and said, "You have no money, why do you have to give those beggars?
The girl suddenly remembered Li Mengzhou, her face was a little red, and she muttered, "They are very pitiful." β
Li Mengzhou shook his head and said, "When they reveal their true nature, the poor person will be you." β
The girl said a little unconvinced: "Why do you think people are so dark, not everyone has bad intentions, they just have no way, since they have the ability, of course they have to help." β
Li Mengzhou was powerless to complain about the girl's naΓ―ve thoughts, perhaps it was indeed because of his experience that he saw everyone on guard, and he never cared whether others were dead or alive.
"You also said that you can only help if you have the ability, but you obviously don't have the ability to help others, your money has been spent, what should you do if you give all the money to those beggars?"
Li Mengzhou didn't want to tell the girl this, but I don't know why, the two times I saw the girl, I was helping others, even if I might be hungry, this kind of thing that he thought was impossible, but the girl did it again and again, which always brought him a different feeling in his heart.
The girl obviously didn't think of this, she just couldn't ignore those in need, it was the only thing she could do, so she didn't think about whether she would become unable to even eat.
Li Mengzhou didn't know what the girl was thinking, and when she looked like she had the heart to refute but didn't know what to say, she couldn't help but feel a little cute.
"Are you hungry?"
Li Mengzhou hesitated for a moment and asked.
The girl was slightly stunned, touched her little belly, and said stiffly: "I'm not hungry at all." β
Of course, Li Mengzhou wouldn't believe her words, because the girl was already pursing her lips, maybe she was still fantasizing about some food in her heart, and the action of swallowing secretly couldn't be concealed at all.
"Don't be pushy, come here if you're hungry. β
Li Mengzhou didn't pay any attention to the girl anymore and walked straight towards the inn.
The girl stood in place and was silent for a long time, she originally wanted to hold on a little longer, maybe Li Mengzhou persuaded her a few more words, and she would reluctantly follow her with a look of not being able to refuse.
But after Li Mengzhou's words fell, he never looked at her again, which undoubtedly frustrated the girl's idea.
She couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in her heart, but her stomach was already growling, especially when the smell of some food came from the inn, so she couldn't help trotting into the inn anymore.
Sitting opposite Li Mengzhou, the girl looked at the dishes on the table, as if casually saying, "Actually, I'm not hungry at all, just barely take a bite." β
Li Mengzhou didn't seem to hear the girl's words, and ate by himself.
The girl seemed to feel a little aggrieved, and seeing that the dishes were gradually decreasing, she could no longer remain calm, so she picked up the dishes with chopsticks and put them in her mouth.
Neither of them spoke, just silently swept the dishes on the table, and after eating, they sat on the stool in a daze, staring wide-eyed.
Li Mengzhou didn't know what to say, and the girl also felt a little embarrassed and didn't know how to speak.
Eventually, she could only lower her head and mutter, "Thank you." β
Li Mengzhou said lightly: "You're welcome." β
As soon as she opened her mouth, the rest of the matter was much better, and the girl said with some pride: "Look, helping others will always be rewarded." β
Li Mengzhou pursed his lips and said, "This is what I gave, and it has nothing to do with the beggars you have helped." β
The girl said disapprerovingly: "Anyway, I'm not hungry." β
Li Mengzhou picked his teeth with a toothpick and said vaguely: "It's just that you're not hungry for the time being, but you have no money, where are you going to live? Do you want to live in a garbage alley or under a stone bridge like those beggars?"
The girl was speechless for a while, looked at Li Mengzhou angrily, and said angrily: "The bridge is naturally straight from the bow of the boat, maybe I will meet a kind person and let me stay for one night for free." β
Li Mengzhou sneered: "Then he stunned you in the middle of the night and sold you to the kiln?"
The girl said angrily: "Why are you like this, you can't think about things in a good way!"
Li Mengzhou said: "This is just one of the possibilities that will happen, maybe you have some means, not like an ordinary weak woman, but no matter how high your skills are, if you don't have the heart to take precautions, you will also make a big mistake."
There is nothing wrong with you holding beautiful fantasies, but in reality it is not all good, prevention is the right way, and a character like you will not end well. β
His tone was very flat, and his words were not very good, he didn't feel anything about it, but it undoubtedly hurt the fragile heart of a young girl.
Of course, she knows what the world itself is like, but she prefers to believe that the world is good, and that it is enough for her to have one of the unbeautiful things.
Li Mengzhou can't understand the girl's mind, and the girl naturally can't understand Li Mengzhou's thoughts, one yearns for the light, the other falls into the darkness, the boy and the girl are like two extremes, it seems impossible to intersect, but the intersection point has been produced in subtlety.
The most suitable communication between people is to have a common topic, as the so-called Tao is different, do not conspire with each other, and do not speculate for more than half a sentence.
There are only two outcomes of disagreement on an issue, either arguing on the basis of reason, or turning around.
Ye Sangyu is a very cultivated and patient girl, she is used to thinking about others and not being self-centered.
So she didn't turn around and leave angrily, but planned to reason with Li Mengzhou.
"My name is Ye Sangyu, I am sixteen years old this year, and I will be seventeen years old soon. β
Ye Sangyu introduced himself first.
Li Mengzhou glanced at her and said very briefly: "Li Mengzhou." β
After thinking for a moment, he added, "I'm a year older than you." β
Ye Sangyu wrinkled his nose and said, "It's no different if you're one year older, it's not a reason for you to teach me a lesson." I like to eat good food, because good food is very precious, so it needs to be treated specially.
I like novelties that I haven't seen before, because they can bring surprises, but my favorite is a strange flower called snow geese, there are no snow geese near where I live, and the whole Jiang country seems to be rare, but I believe that I can always find them.
As long as you believe that the road of growth can go better, it is not advisable to blindly be decadent and give up, you should also have what you like, is it because others don't like it, will you change your preferences?"
Li Mengzhou didn't know what Ye Sangyu was talking about, but he thought what she said was very interesting.
Being watched by Ye Sangyu, Li Mengzhou said helplessly: "I don't have anything I like, if I have to have one, it should only be wine." β
Ye Sangyu was obviously not satisfied with this answer, but she still asked: "Even if this is the case, then if someone doesn't like to see you drinking, and says that drinking is harmful to your health, then will you really stop drinking in the future?"
This is probably a very common question, and the general answer is also divided into two kinds, there is a perfunctory definite answer, in fact, the heart is still unwilling to quit drinking, and some will generously admit that it will not.
It also depends on who the person asking the question is, and whether he really wants to quit drinking for this person, then a third answer will be derived.
As for Li Mengzhou's answer, it belongs to the second type, he looked at Ye Sangyu and said very firmly: "No." β
Drinking is a habit of nature, and it is indeed the only preference he can think of, and if this only preference is deprived, his gray life seems to never see the light again.
Ye Sangyu seemed to have known that Li Mengzhou would answer like this, the corners of her mouth raised a touch of arc, and said: "I help people in need, even if I may help the wrong person and put myself in danger, but this is what I want to do, so the answer I give you will not be." β
Li Mengzhou suddenly woke up, it turned out that the logic of these words was here.
Although these two things can't be compared at all, he couldn't find the right words to refute Ye Sangyu for a while.
Ye Sangyu looked at Li Mengzhou proudly and said, "So I will continue to help others, no matter whether someone has impure intentions or not, I won't care, because I can protect myself." β
Li Mengzhou thought of the beggars who were seriously injured by Ye Sangyu in Shuning Town, and he still couldn't refute these words.
Ye Sangyu was able to come to Xi'an County from Shuning Town, and even scattered all his silver, it was impossible for there to be no accidents during the period, but Ye Sangyu was sitting here alive, and her sentence that she could protect herself could indeed be confirmed.
Li Mengzhou was speechless for a while, he felt that he couldn't say Ye Sangyu at all, even if the two of them were reasonable, but it was obvious that he was gradually at a disadvantage.
Seeing Li Mengzhou, who was speechless, Ye Sangyu was even more proud, and even a wicked smile hung on the corner of her mouth, which was a little contrary to her weak and well-behaved temperament.
"Thank you for inviting me to dinner. β
Ye Sangyu waved at him, stood up and jumped out of the inn.
Li Mengzhou watched silently, for a long time, and smiled bitterly.
After paying for the meal, he continued to carry the sword wrapped in black cloth on his back, tied the worn-out Pu knife behind his back, walked out of the inn, and walked in the opposite direction of Ye Sangyu.
