The two walked all the way through the streets of Long Bridge, listening to the constant talk about things outside the city, which was very interesting. Continuing to walk forward, turning the alley, the two suddenly heard a noise in front of them.

Turning the corner, I looked closely, and it turned out to be a group of children bullying another little girl. Those children didn't do anything excessive, just scared and scared, plus they talked, and their voices came and went.

The children are all on the street, but the adults who come and go seem to be accustomed to this and don't care, and some of them even add a few ugly words to the story.

Not far behind the children, there is a small school, and there is no sound of reading in the school at the moment. Looking at the appearance of those children, most of them are children studying in the school.

When the two of them got closer, they could hear the trivial words of the children.

"Harmful spirits, little villains, a family, eating prison food; Evil spirits, little villains, a family, and prison food. ”

The little girl who sat under the eaves and bowed her head silently was dressed like a child of a well-to-do family, while the rest of the children who circled around her were relatively plainly dressed, but this did not seem to affect them from joining forces to bully this little girl. The little girl just bowed her head, did not speak, and did not refute.

Shen Kuang and Wen Jiu were not fast, and they both wanted to understand the whole story.

In front of the street, a middle-aged man with a flat shoulder came to him, he smiled and scolded the little girl for being harmful, and then happily carried the burden and continued to hurry, and from time to time he would say hello to acquaintances on the street.

When the man passed by the two of them, Shen Jing politely asked, "This uncle, can you ask what this little girl has done, why are you and those children scolding her?" ”

The man was suddenly stopped, and subconsciously looked up at the two young people in front of him.

The man is shrewd, and he knows that he is not an ordinary person by looking at the dress of the two, especially the older young man, who carries a sword behind his back, not to mention, and is very handsome. How could they have such a temperament in a small family, so after hearing Shen Guo speak, the man stopped, grinned at the two and smiled: "Don't hide it from the two sons, the villain doesn't know much about that matter, but he often hears the neighbors here." The little girl's father and mother probably did something bad before, and I don't know what it was. ”

Wen Jiu was very disgusted with this man's behavior towards the little girl before, so he was even more disdainful after listening to it at this time, so he asked directly with an angry face: "Since this little girl's father and mother made a mistake, why do you want to vent your anger on one of her children, and why do you have to scold a few words?" ”

The man who answered honestly didn't understand why the little boy in front of him was angry, but he didn't dare to offend, but he just slandered in his heart, and said respectfully: "The villain is not clear, I also see that others are like this, so I scolded a few words." ”

The man didn't know what he was doing wrong, but after thinking about it, he still felt that there was nothing wrong with what he was doing, and it was indeed harmful.

Knowing some reasons, Shen Kuang and Wen Jiu didn't ask anything more, Shen Kuang politely hugged his fist at the man, and Wen Jiu turned his head too lazy to look at him. The man didn't want to cause any more trouble to himself for no reason, so after he confessed, he quickly took the burden and left, and his mood was not affected by the little boy's inexplicable anger, but he felt that his behavior of scolding the little girl was very correct.

After passing by the man, Wenjiu was still a little annoyed.

He walked forward quickly, scattering the children gathered around the little girl. The people around him also saw his slightly rude behavior, but the eyes of the people in the market were similar to that of the man, and they were afraid of causing trouble to themselves, so even the women with broken mouths kept silent about it.

Wen Jiu sighed when he saw the children walking away, and then touched the head of the little girl who had been bowing her head and was silent, and smiled at her. The little girl raised her head with some feeling, at first looked at this big brother who had never seen her before, and then smiled warmly at him.

Knowing that the children who had bullied her had gone away, the little girl also stood up, most likely because the time for class was approaching, so she got up and walked in the direction of the school. Before leaving, she also looked back at the two big brothers she had never seen behind her, but she never spoke.

Seeing her leaving, Wen Jiu also walked forward quickly and walked side by side with her, as if he had said something to the little girl, and Shen Jing followed silently.

The three of them walked not far away, and they saw an old man walking out of the school hall in front of them, and they greeted the two of them. The old man is gentle and elegant, kind and kind-eyed, and should be the gentleman in the school.

The old gentleman smiled politely when he saw the warm wine walking side by side with the little girl and the Shen situation behind the two.

When the little girl saw the old gentleman, she ran to him happily, and naturally took the old gentleman's hand, losing her solemn look before.

"There are two knights."

Xu saw that Shen Jing was carrying a sword behind him, so he naturally attributed the two to Jianghu people. When Shen Kuang and Wen Jiu heard this, they also bowed back respectfully, and Shen Kuang said, "The old gentleman doesn't have to be polite. ”

After returning the gift, Wen Jiu first glanced at the relieved little girl, then looked at the old gentleman and asked, "Does the old gentleman know what happened to this little girl's parents?" Why are the children and adults around her coldly looking at her? ”

The old gentleman motioned for the two to chat while walking, and he pulled the little girl to walk slowly, Wen Jiu and Shen Jing followed closely without hurrying.

"It's not a heinous event, Ning Zhen's father was also a Jianghu when he was young, he went south and north to learn a good martial arts, and later wandered to our Meiwu City and met her mother, so she settled here, opened a small martial arts hall, and it can be regarded as a good business. Because Ning Zhen's father and mother are not bad, and the people in the neighborhood see it in their eyes, so whether the child likes it or for the sake of strengthening the body, some families will be willing to send their children to practice a few styles. But later, a child accidentally broke his waist when he was practicing martial arts, which involved a lot, and in the end he lost sensation in his lower limbs and left him disabled. After the incident, her parents also actively cooperated and paid a lot of money to treat the child, but after all, they were powerless and could not be cured. Fortunately, the child's parents also understood that it was all unintentional, and sadness was sad, so they didn't blame Ning Zhen and their family too harshly. ”

"Originally, there was a consensus between the two families, and the matter passed like this. But later, the people around him knew about it, and it spread ten, hundred, not only the reputation of Xiaowuguan plummeted, but even the perception of this family was also a lot worse. Mainly those who don't know the whole picture, thinking that their family is not kind, and it has been passed down to the present situation. Even now that many people know the truth, more explanations are useless, and Ning Zhen's child can be regarded as suffering from unjustified disasters. ”

The four of them walked unhurriedly, and the little girl named Ning Zhen was not nervous since she took the old man's hand, and she didn't care about the conversation between several people.

After listening to this, Wen Jiu eagerly replied: "Don't those children in the school old gentleman care about discipline?" ”

The old gentleman smiled bitterly when he heard this: "The board has also been beaten, and the books have been copied, but I still don't want to correct it." Speaking of which, it's still a dereliction of duty on my part, and the lesson of the young man is. ”

Naturally, this was not the original meaning of warm wine, and he also understood the meaning of the old gentleman's words, so he didn't explain too much.

Speaking of which, the four of them happened to walk to the door of the academy. The old gentleman took the little girl Ning Zhen and Wen Jiu and Shen Kuang to say goodbye and returned to the school, and when they left, the little girl waved her hand at the two.

After watching the old gentleman and the little girl turn around and return to the school, Shen Jing and Wen Jiu continued to hurry.

Wen Jiu was still a little annoyed, Shen Guan smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be angry, there are many things that you can't figure out, if you find out the root of each one, then when will it be a head?" ”

Wen Jiu turned his head to look at Shen Jing, and just asked with some puzzlement: "Brother Shen, why did that little girl suffer from these unwarranted disasters even if she didn't do anything?" Aren't those people, those adults indistinguishable from wrong? ”

Shen Jing thought about it, and said slowly as he walked: "Why is this happening?" That's a good question. It seems to me that because each of us is different, we can use those moral values to bind ourselves, but others may not be able to do that. The reason why those sages are revered is because their knowledge is so great that everyone thinks it is right. And these people, they just feel that the truth in their hands is very right, so they can use this to say those who have made mistakes, but they don't care what you do, some are still unintentional, make up or not make up, they only look at what they want to see, so what they say and do is naturally what they want to say and do, and they are not constrained. ”

Wen Jiu could also understand the meaning, so he said: "If you know that this is not right and still do it, then there is no difference between them and those real bad people?" ”

Shen Jing smiled and said: "There is nothing wrong with taking the greatest moral knowledge, and those who are willing to go along will say that they are doing the right thing." Coming and going will greatly satisfy their sense of self-fulfillment, and they will become more convinced of what they are doing, so it is that sense of superiority that motivates them to do this. ”

The warm wine was thoughtful, and it was not said for a long time.

Seeing this, Shen said again: "I've been cynical before. However, the master told me that the world is like this, and we can only do what we can do our best. There's no way we can change everyone's mindset because there are always bad guys. The biggest reason why we understand the truth is to restrain ourselves from becoming that kind of person, which is not easy in itself. ”

"That little girl, she..."

"There is no unwarranted disaster, sometimes you can only resist first, and when others wake up one day, the situation may change."

"Then if you can't resist it, what if the others can't wake up?"

"I don't know!"
