Chapter VIII Choice
When the little fat dragon left, the guy known as the third brother had just gotten up and walked towards the tent.
The other party had just walked a few steps and had not yet fully entered the tent. Lin Xiao only heard the sound of "whoosh", and felt that there was something more beside him, and it was the little fat dragon who had just left him, about three breaths. And the other party even brought back a big chicken leg, which he was enjoying chewing at this time.
All of this made Lin Xiao look a little stunned, and even made him wonder, is this guy really the kind of big-bellied lizard with clumsy movements? The speed is too boundless, isn't it? And this situation also makes Lin Xiao feel a little remorseful now, you said that if you have been carrying poison instead of laxatives, then all the problems have been solved now!!
Just when Lin Xiao was still in a trance, he suddenly heard the exclamation of the third child from the opposite tent: "Big brother! Oh no! The little girl is gone!"
"What! she's a little girl, can she still escape?!!" Humpty Dumpty in the distance shouted loudly in his broken voice.
On the other hand, the scathing boss beside him seemed very calm, and he did not panic at all because of the little girl's disappearance, and said very calmly: "I said second brother, third brother, don't you use your brains? She is a little girl, even if she wants to escape in this barren mountain and forest, where else can she escape? Do you believe it or not? I can find her out for you if I stand here now!"
After the boss finished speaking, he used his magic power to condense a dazzling fireball in the palm of his hand, aiming at the cage not far away from him, and the cage was locked with a colorful little elk.
The boss said loudly: "Little girl, I know you are nearby, now I count three times, you come out quickly, or I will burn this colorful young deer to charcoals!"
Just as he was about to shout three, suddenly a cry came from the side: "Wait a minute! I'm here!"
The little girl who had already escaped slowly walked out of the shadow behind a big tree. Although there was a hint of reluctance on her childish little face, there was no regret at all.
The boss glanced at the little girl who slowly walked out, and a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. casually threw the magic fireball condensed in the palm of his hand on the ground about two meters away from the little girl.
With a "bang", there was a scorched black soil pit more than half a meter deep on the land, and the little girl was so frightened that she trembled.
At the same time, the boss snorted coldly and said, "Hmph! I know that you still have some illusions about the colorful fawn, and you are delusional that you can rescue it." But I still advise you, don't have such childish thoughts again, otherwise I won't spare you next time!"
After speaking, he instructed the second Humpty Dumpty next to him: "Second brother, you go and put her in the cage of the colorful fawn, and see how she escapes this time! Hmph! I am still right when the third brother said it, I can't be too merciful to her!"
So, the little girl was carried and thrown into the cage without pity. When the heavy iron door was locked, the vitality of the little girl's whole person seemed to be deeply locked, and she seemed so depressed and helpless.
She kept looking at the colorful little elk with dull eyes, and her eyes were red around her, as if she felt guilty and heartache because she couldn't help the little elk, and tears silently flowed down her face.
Beside them, the group of hunters didn't seem to care about the little girl's situation at all, and even didn't pay any attention to the little girl's escape just now, and were still drinking and showing off to each other.
Lin Xiao saw all this in his eyes from a distance, originally he hadn't paid too much attention to that little girl, but simply regarded her as an ordinary girl who was blackmailed by the hunters. But now it seems that things are far from being as simple as thought.
Because what the little girl did just now, in Lin Xiao's view, was simply a kind of life irony for himself.
In this world, Lin Xiao has always felt that if there is anything to give her life and everything to protect, then except for the Yu Yin who is ashamed of herself, everything else is not worth paying for herself. Not to mention, he was willing to exchange his life for a small animal of the demon clan.
But that little girl is so duty-bound. In order to protect the little elk, he knew that he was likely to lose his life, but he still did not hesitate.
The little girl's style of acting made Lin Xiao look a little dazed, not that he thought how worthless and stupid the little girl was to do this, but Lin Xiao vaguely realized through the little girl's behavior how illusory and unreal her previous life was.
At that time, I thought that I had seen through the laws of the fate of heaven and earth, and knew that the fate of all living beings in the world was predestined by God, so I looked at all living beings in heaven and earth with an indifferent bystander attitude.
In fact, at that time, Lin Xiao didn't feel how ruthless he was, he just thought that he was also a pawn bound by the fate of the Heavenly Dao, how could he change the fate of other creatures that had already been doomed? !
What's more, even if it changes for a while, the destined fate will still come in other forms.
Therefore, Lin Xiao sometimes sees some difficulties that he can do, but he generally does not take it lightly, let alone risk it with his life, just because he knows that even if he really makes a move, it will only change his fate for a while, but he can't change the final result.
Looking at the little girl, Lin Xiao thought a lot and understood a lot, and he suddenly realized how outrageous and ridiculous he was wrong before.
At the beginning, he had a glimpse of the rules of Heavenly Dao's fate, but he should never have taken these rules to the standard of being a human being.
Because the reason why a person lives in the world is to enjoy the uncertainty brought about by fate. If everyone is like him, knowing that fate is predestined by the sky, and no matter how you can't get rid of its shackles, then people will still work hard, forge ahead and help according to their original wishes when they encounter difficulties, ups and downs and unfairness? !
Thinking of this, Lin Xiao shook his head, not only showing a wry smile.
He understood that even if he really said something like this, if no one who really understood this Heavenly Dao Law heard it, they would only think that he was a madman and was telling some jokes.
And Lin Xiao's mistake is only here, that is, he took the fate of the Heavenly Dao that he realized too seriously, and even lost the temperament that he should have as a human being.
If the world and all the creatures in the world are compared to chessboards and chess pieces, then Lin Xiao is the one who puts himself in the position of a chess viewer and looks at the world, but he just ignores the fact that he himself is also a chess piece.
The little girl's behavior of completely detaching himself from Lin Xiao's thinking gave him a sudden realization at this moment, Lin Xiao felt that he had to change something now, and he could no longer live as blunt and detached from the laws of heaven and earth as before.
He decided to forget the rules of heaven, ignore the destiny of fate, and face the future life with the mentality of a free person again.
In other words, on the road from now on, he will truly behave with the temperament of a human being, and no longer regard the rules of fate as a standard for measuring human nature.
Lin Xiao knew that such a change would be difficult for him, because the Heavenly Dao theory of "fate is predetermined" was too deeply rooted in the essence of his heart.
But he believes that as long as he sincerely chooses to change today, then such a choice will get the result it deserves, even if such a result has been predestined for a long time, but choosing to work for such a "doomed result" is a good start in itself.
Lin Xiao took a deep breath, he understood that the little girl had taught him a profound lesson today. At the same time, he also felt that after he made the decision to change in his heart, the whole person also felt a lot more open and free, as if he had really gotten rid of the shackles of the rules of heaven and earth in his heart all of a sudden, and he had never been so relaxed, free and easy, and at ease as he was now.
The little fat dragon on the side also seemed to feel the difference between Lin Xiao, it felt that the current Lin Xiao seemed to have completely changed as if he was a person, and he had completely lost the feeling of being aloof and out of place with the things around him in the past, and now Lin Xiao seemed so close and real.
Although the little fat dragon didn't understand why Lin Xiao suddenly gave people such a feeling, it really liked Lin Xiao's current aura.
With the change in Lin Xiao's attitude towards the laws of the Heavenly Dao, subtle and slow changes are also taking place inside his body. In the depths of the dantian, a faint and warm aura suddenly appeared, and the appearance of this breath was so sudden, so faint that even Lin Xiao himself did not feel this slight change.
