Chapter 403: Innocence and Reality
Lin stopped talking.
Lin had never thought that in the country of streams, even children felt so desperate about the future of the country, which made him feel very uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but wonder to himself: Is this country really terminally ill?
No, it won't.
As long as someone is still working tirelessly to change the status quo, things will definitely take a turn for the better, and this is also the meaning of Lin has been trying to persevere, and he should not give up so soon.
Thinking of this, Lin couldn't help but glance at Qiao Liang, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.
Qiao Liang is actually a very gifted and talented child, although Lin doesn't know Qiao Liang well, but he can still see at a glance from Qiao Liang's performance just now that this is a quite amazing child, the future is promising, as long as a little guidance, the future will be limitless.
Qiao Liang had never received formal instruction, and had only reached his current level by self-study. Although Lin didn't say anything when Qiao Liang showed it in front of Lin before, he was already surprised in his heart and didn't know what to say.
This kid is amazingly talented, and he will definitely make great achievements in the future.
Even if he had not received formal instruction, Qiao Liang's techniques and habits were quite neat, even in the War College, few people could have such an understanding. And judging from the thunder spell that Qiao Liang cast just now, the scope of the spell is quite vast and lasts for a long time, which shows that this child's talent is quite good, although it can't be compared with a talented prophet like Lin, but it will definitely not be inferior to those leaders on this continent!
Thinking of this, Lin couldn't help but take a few more glances at Qiao Liang's body. Qiao Liang's physical fitness is also quite good, although he looks thin, but he is not the type of dry and thin, and when he grows up, he will definitely become a person with good comprehensive quality.
His own conditions are quite excellent and he doesn't know it, and he is very self-disciplined, studious and thoughtful, this kid is really a rare talent!
Looking at Qiao Liang's figure, a gentle light appeared in Lin's eyes, which made Qiao Liang feel a little surprised, and suddenly became alert: "Why are you looking at me with such eyes?" ”
Lin smiled kindly: "I'm just a little curious, since the conditions here are bad, why don't you choose to leave here and go to other places?" In terms of your ability, there will be many mage schools that are willing to accept you. You can choose a suitable school to study and then find yourself a good future. ”
"The future? What are the prospects for this country? Qiao Liang poked the charcoal in the fire fiercely, but the expression on his face became a little bitter, and he sneered in a low voice: "There is no such thing at all......
"That's why we should work harder, shouldn't we? Make the country better. ”
Listening to Lin's words, Qiao Liang glanced up at Lin in surprise, and then couldn't help laughing: "I said how old are you guys, why are you still so naïve?" But his eyes quickly darkened again, and he laughed at himself: "It seems that your family background should be quite good, eighty percent is a nobleman, right?" Otherwise, how could there be such a naïve idea? No three-year-old will believe it! It's just that you, the young masters who live in the high walls, are so ignorant of the fireworks in the world, do you really believe that there are miracles in this world? ”
"I don't believe in miracles, but I believe in myself." In the face of Qiao Liang's ridicule, Lin still said quite seriously.
"Believe in yourself? Self-confidence is a good thing, but don't overdo it, otherwise you will only suffer yourself. Qiao Liang patted the ashes on his hands, and then put an iron can filled with water on the fire, "Who do you think you are?" Can a mayfly shake a tree? To those powerful people in the capital, we are just ants, so why can't you get along with yourself? What's wrong with living a peaceful and stable life, why bother to find yourself unhappy? ”
Lin didn't answer Qiao Liang's question, but asked rhetorically, "So do you think your current life is meaningful?" ”
"Huh?" Qiao Liang wondered if he had misheard.
"I mean, are you willing to live like this for the rest of your life?" Lin asked.
A trace of gloom flashed in Qiao Liang's eyes, and his tone suddenly became a lot stiffer: "Of course I'm unwilling!" But even if I'm not reconciled, what can I do? The country is already like this, what can I do?. ”
Lin looked at Qiao Liang calmly, and said calmly: "You are unwilling, I am not reconciled, and there are also the king and thousands of people...... Everyone is not reconciled! If the current situation in this country makes everyone unhappy, why can't we overturn everything that exists and create a future where everyone can be happy? ”
Seeing Lin show a sincere expression, Qiao Liang was slightly stunned, and then couldn't help laughing: "You said such childish words?" Is he really a good young man with 'ideals' and 'ambitions'? How old are you, wouldn't you feel ashamed to say such a thing? I'm ashamed of you! Don't say it in front of anyone in the future! Save yourself from being ridiculed! As he spoke, Qiao Liang didn't sit still with a smile, and half-lay down on the straw pile on the ground.
Lin didn't feel ashamed or embarrassed about Qiao Liang's ridicule, but he didn't say anything, just took over Qiao Liang's job and added firewood to the fire again.
Is it really naïve to think about yourself?
Lin shook his head silently, the expression on his face was slightly helpless.
If it was my former self, I'm afraid I would never have such thoughts now, right? I must also feel that I would say such idealistic things now, which is really naïve and ridiculous.
But for some reason, since returning from the Misty Forest, Lin found that a lot of changes have gradually taken place in his body, and there has been an obvious change in his thinking, which is probably the idealism that Qiao Liang said, right? He didn't know if it was the Prophet's bloodline that left an imprint on him, but Lin himself didn't hate the idea.
"Young Master, let's eat something!" Qiao Liang somehow found a handful of tea leaves and put them in the cup, then poured some boiling hot water into it and handed it to Lin, and then took out two pieces of damp bread from the straw pile, put them on the stones next to the fire and roasted them.
Qiao Liang looked quite capable in doing things, and he was obviously used to living alone, so Lin opened his mouth and asked, "Do you live alone?" What about your family? ”
"My mother was dead, when I was eight years old." Qiao Liang replied calmly, with no trace of emotion in his eyes.
But it is not difficult to see that this teenager should have experienced a lot of things in the years since his mother's death, otherwise he would not be as independent and strong as he is now.
