Chapter 8: Contemplation
Some people say that human nature is despicable, and some people say that 'at the beginning of man, nature is good'. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
A thug who beats her daughter, a mother who has no choice but to sell her daughter into slavery, an old man who would rather starve than give a piece of bread to his children, a group of people who are numb and let the thugs bully.
It is difficult to distinguish between good and evil, just like the Rogue who robbed Asuna's bread, but he is just a miserable person who lives in the world for survival.
And the aristocracy, in Rogge's eyes, is the stupidest person, they bring 'injustice', bury 'resentment', and proudly shout that we are nobles, but they don't know that the evil under their feet is slowly accumulating......
"History proves that in times like these, you can't change anything!" Suddenly, a handsome young man who was seven points similar to Rogge, holding an apple in his hand, sat across from Rogge while eating.
"Something, isn't it?" Rogge muttered to himself.
"Are you a saint?" With the voice, a person in a white coat and glasses, exactly like the previous man, appeared on the other side of Rogge, holding a pen in his hand, and said casually: "You can't even change yourself, and you still want to change them?"
“.......”
"Now you always want to have a clear conscience..."Another similar young man appeared, dressed in black, with a mocking face: "You don't even know what kind of existence you are, and you still have the heart to talk about it?"
"It's not impossible to change. A pair of dry, bloodless palms stretched out: "What can change is how you do it." ”
"It's not easy to change the status quo, you already have the answer in your head. The young man who took the apple took a bite of the apple and said in a deep voice: "Do you want to live this life as a nobleman with peace of mind, or do you want to do a hopeless thing vigorously?"
"Obviously not a saint, you have to put yourself in the position of a saint. The young man in the white coat dragged his glasses with his hand and said expressionlessly: "People have desires, and you have them, whether it is the world or yourself, don't you have a lot of questions? It's your desire!"
"If you don't solve a problem, but you are sad and sad here, thinking about human nature?" The young man in black laughed coldly: "Who are you? Rogge, or Rogge Sherman?"
"I don't have to be sad, some things can never be forgotten, people always have to find their own position, why they lived? I don't know, but I should know why I died!"
"Live for yourself, die for yourself, do whatever you want, lawless!" The young man in black instantly widened his eyes, his face full of unwillingness and anger: "Take a good look at you in front of you, do you still want to repeat the mistakes of the past?!"
The fierce words made Rogge's body tremble, his eyes were rejuvenated, and along the dry palm, Rogge saw himself, a man with only a skeleton left all his body, a liquid tube inserted all over his body, and a liquid tank in it.
At this time, a couple appeared in front of the liquid tank, the couple seemed to be young, but they were full of gray hair, their eyes were full of tears, and their faces were filled with despair and sadness......
That's your answer, maybe slim, but there's hope. The young man with the apple looked relieved and slowly disappeared from Rog's eyes.
"It's good to be yourself, no matter what happens to him, since you are not a saint, don't follow the path of a saint. The bespectacled young man stared at Rogge for a long time, sighed, and slowly dissipated.
"Boy, don't let your loved ones get hurt anymore. A tear streaked across the face of the young man in black: "Good luck." ”
"You're Rog, but your name is also Roger Scharman. The person in the liquid tank, the corners of his mouth opened slightly, slowly dissipated, and the voice came: "There are some things, you have to figure it out." ”
Asuna's face was full of anxiety now, and her heart was even more worried, since Grandma Dia left, Rogge had been sitting alone in the brazier for a long time, sometimes crying, sometimes laughing, like crazy, but she didn't dare to disturb, and now she was so anxious that her eyes were full of tears.
There are several other people who are also anxious, since Rog brought back Asuna from Buck, the Keanes are full of curiosity and fear for Rogge, this fear has no reason, in their eyes, they can deal with people like Buck, they must not be offended by people like themselves.
The others were the three old men who had prayed in front of Buck's door earlier, but now there were two more middle-aged people who were crippled, presumably the father of one of those children.
These people said that they were thankful, rather than to ask Rogge to take care of the child who was about to buy the Viscount's Mansion, but Rogge's abrupt words shook the hope that had just ignited in their hearts back to the abyss of reality.
"I didn't do anything in the Viscount's Palace, I was lying to Buck just now!" Rogra passed Asuna, the tears on Asuna's face were gone, ignoring the frightened expressions of the crowd, and continued: "Grandma Dia has passed away, and I was going to escape with Asuna......"
"However, Grandma Dia saved my life and is a kind old man......"
"So, do you want to save your children, do you want revenge, do you want to stop starving?......."
"If I can save Asuna, I will save everyone else, as long as you do what I say. Rogge's cold and cold tone made everyone in the room dare not have any rebuttal.
"Buck, ten gold coins, I'll kill you!"
.....
Early the next morning, Rogge rubbed his dark circles and walked towards the city gate, Asuna dragged the Keanes to take care of them, the little girl was very sensible, and Rogge was very relieved of her without making noise.
The sporadic snowflakes drifted all night, and there was still no intention of stopping, Rogge frowned slightly, and sighed helplessly: "This cold winter is not good!"
"Yo, little Rogge is here, why is his face so bad?" Charles greeted when he saw Rogge coming.
"I didn't sleep well yesterday, and you know that place is not for people......" Rogschley chatted with Charles, and was about to walk towards the city, but Charles's face instantly became gloomy.
Rogge turned his head to look, but saw Buck and his party pushing the carriage over, the carriage was covered with black cloth, and Rogge and Charles knew the 'things' inside.
After carefully examining Charles's face, it seemed that the officer guarding the city seemed to be very disgusted with people like Buck, and Rogge secretly made a note and did not say anything.
"Captain Charles, you're on duty so early?" Buck smacked with a hideous smile and took out a money bag from his bosom and handed it over, ignoring Rogge.
"Captain Charles, I still have something to do, let's go first. Rogge sneered secretly, it seemed that Buck had listened to what he said yesterday.
"Go ahead, little Rogge. Taking the money bag, Charles ignored Buck, but looked at Rogge who was far away: "You know?"
"No, no, no, it's just a slum kid, I've seen a lot. Buck waved his hand again and again, but in his heart he was even more convinced of Rogge's identity, even Charles cared so much about this kid, which is not something that a slum person can do.
"Oh~~, let go!" For Buck, Charles has never had a good face, but like this kind of villain who dares to do anything for money, there are many in the empire, and he is a petty officer who guards the city, and more is better than less.
Weighing the money bag, Charles thought about Rogge, not to mention a child, even if it is an adult, he is not far away when he sees Buck.
He's not a fool, Buck went to the slum to obviously get a good receipt, but he turned a blind eye to Rogge's child, if they didn't know each other, they didn't believe him if they killed him, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this slum kid was different......
Rogge walked away first, and when he saw that no one was coming, he walked towards the bazaar, and before he arrived, he heard the enthusiastic cries of selling: "Clearance sale, clearance sale, come and see!
Rogge was stunned by the sudden voice, and after a closer look, several fur traders were soliciting customers under the guise of yesterday, and immediately smiled bitterly: "Isn't it quite fast to learn!"
When I came to yesterday's alley, I saw the Casey family, who had been waiting here for a long time.
"Brother Rogge is here. Little Casey saw Rogge and ran cheerfully to say hello.
Rogge nodded and smiled, it seemed that yesterday's meal had narrowed the distance with the family a lot, and then said, "Uncle Ed, how are you preparing?"
"It's all ready, all here as you ask. As he spoke, he pulled out two half-person-high boxes: "According to what you said, I found a few families to do it together yesterday, and they all paid for it." ”
Rogge didn't bother to correct the honorific of 'you', opened the box, and praised: "The craftsmanship is good, and the stitching is quite good." ”
Look closely at the box, a clean strip of cloth hangs two palm-sized leather cases at both ends, the leather case is divided into two kinds, there are five fingers in size, and there are four fingers in one, and the tail end of the fur is rolled, which looks fashionable and warm.
Looking at the familiar items, Rogge was also in a cheerful mood: "Take the banner I prepared, those guys dare to steal business with us, if I don't teach you a good lesson today, I won't be surnamed Luo!"
"Brother Rogge, your surname is Luo?"
"Eh~ Let's go, let's get down to business first!"
After a few simple commands, Rogge smiled wickedly and walked out with the Casey family.
