Chapter 51: Someone jumps off the bridge
Zhu Xixi got up and looked around, and sure enough, he saw Li Jiang's figure at the intersection not far away, and he was enthusiastically crossing the road with two elementary school students.
Yes, he is a police officer, always believes in justice, remains passionate, and is kind and generous.
After these words appeared in Zhu Xixi's mind, she subconsciously compared herself, and none of them matched.
She has seen too much life and death since she was a child, and her personality has always been withdrawn and indifferent, unwilling to intervene in the cause and effect of others, and she is always cold and lonely around her.
If you are honest with each other like this......
Just thinking about it, Zhu Xixi saw Li Jiaang running towards him, with a smile on his sunny and handsome face, panting and taking out a paper bag from his right pocket and saying, "Here, fried chestnuts with sugar, it's still hot." ”
Zhu Xixi, who came back to his senses, looked at the plump sugar-fried chestnuts with some surprise, took them in his hand, and asked, "Have you gone to buy sugar-fried chestnuts?" ”
"Yes, there is." As he said it, he magically took out a slender paper bag from his bosom, then shook it and said, "Dangdangdang, rock sugar gourd, hehe, it's too long to fit in your pocket." ”
Feeling flattered, Zhu Xixi looked at the rock sugar gourd, and then looked at the sweet potatoes and sugar-fried chestnuts in his hand, he felt pampered, and still smiled from the bottom of his heart and said, "I can't take it." ”
"You eat this, I'll take it." Li Jiaang took the fried chestnuts with sugar, handed her the rock sugar gourd, and said like a child, "It's boring to sit here and wait." ”
Zhu Xixi took the rock sugar gourd and nodded, with a smile on the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, looking at Li Jiaang's side face, he began to wonder if he was worried too much?
The two of them sat on the chair and waited, Zhu Xixi tore open the package and took a bite of the rock sugar gourd, the crisp rock sugar was wrapped in soft and glutinous hawthorn, one was hard and one was soft, one was sweet and one was sour, and the two completely different tastes fused with the unique taste of the rock sugar gourd.
Zhu Xixi looked at the sugar gourd in his hand, and couldn't help but think, maybe, two different people can walk together?
At this time, Li Jiaang handed a peeled chestnut to Zhu Xixi and said, "Here, eat it while it's hot." ”
Such a heartwarming gesture made Zhu Xixi leave all the mess in her heart behind for the time being, and just wanted to enjoy the beauty of this moment.
The two of them were eating and chatting, and after a while, they were in place.
Under the guidance of the clerk, they sat in two seats, and Li Jiang intimately handed the menu to Zhu Xixi and asked, "What do you want to eat?" ”
Zhu Xixi was looking at the menu, and suddenly heard a commotion at the door of the hot pot restaurant, and looked over to see the sound, it was a homeless man wearing a tattered cotton jacket and messy hair who knocked on the dirty iron basin in his hand and wanted to come in, but was stopped by the clerk.
Then she saw Li Jiang appear next to her and go to mediate and communicate.
Well? When did he pass?
The hot pot restaurant was very lively, Zhu Xixi couldn't hear what they were talking about, only to see that the clerk insisted on not letting the homeless man enter the store to beg for money, and finally Li Jiang rummaged through his pocket and found a few cash of different denominations and put them in the homeless man's iron basin, and sent him out of the store.
After a while, Li Jiaang came back, sat opposite Zhu Xixi and said apologetically: "The clerk spoke a little ugly, and he argued a few words, have you ordered it?" ”
"Well, you see what to add." Zhu Xixi handed over the menu and said tentatively, "Clerk...... It's also for the sake of the customers in the store that I don't let him in. ”
Li Jiaang looked down at the menu and said, "Homeless people are also people, no matter how pitiful they look at, they shouldn't have such a bad attitude." ”
After ordering, he took care of the waiter and handed over the menu.
"You're really competent as a policeman." Zhu Xixi nodded and said.
Li Jiang disagreed, took out a tissue and wiped the table with a smile and said: "This has nothing to do with whether the police are police or not, not the police will also help, at the beginning of people, their nature is good." ”
Zhu Xixi bit his lower lip and tried to say that he thought the opposite of him: "I don't think so. ”
"Right...... Yes? Li Jiang thought that Zhu Xixi was echoing what he said, but she didn't expect her to say that she didn't think so, and asked suspiciously, "What do you think?" ”
Zhu Xixi observed Li Jiang's expression, and said slowly: "I think that in the beginning, not all people were kind, and those kind and beautiful characters were all formed through learning and moral constraints. Human nature is inherently selfish, complex, and not kind. ”
Faced with such a statement, Li Jiang's hand wiping the table stopped, and he couldn't understand it: "How come? If people are not kind, how can justice survive? No matter how bad people are, they are kind at heart, and they will eventually realize that they have done something wrong and be condemned in their hearts. ”
Zhu Xixi also became more and more firm the more he spoke, and retorted: "Those condemnations are the morals that he has learned since he was a child, and it is the pressure exerted by the world that makes him condemn, not the kindness of his heart." People do everything with a purpose, and they do something to satisfy their own purpose, and kindness is the same, it is not pure. Human nature is inherently evil, and only by restraining it can goodness be produced. ”
"I disagree!" Li Jiaang said stubbornly, "Is a person born harmful to people's hearts? Do you have the idea of doing something bad? They are all influenced by bad things in the outside world to go astray. The light comes before darkness ......"
At this time, the waiter came to serve the food and interrupted Li Jiang's words, and it was obvious that he was a little unhappy, and he was still a little depressed in the middle of his words.
He looked at Zhu Xixi, who was always calm, and was surprised and surprised, he didn't expect her to uphold such a point of view.
Although the two of them did not discuss this topic again, Zhu Xixi could feel that Li Jiaang was entangled in the conversation they had just had.
Zhu Xixi also calmed down from the conversation just now and re-examined the gap between them.
A meal that is not a good taste......
After checking out, the two walked out of the hot pot restaurant and walked side by side on the road without speaking
It's late at night, and there are few pedestrians on the road except for the entrance of the restaurant and hotel.
Li Jiang, who had not spoken, looked down at the road under his feet, and suddenly said: "I still can't agree with your idea, and I don't think it's right for you to have such an idea." ”
Zhu Xixi felt like laughing when he heard this, and said: "It's normal to have disagreements about one thing, and everyone has their own attitude towards the world. ”
The latter sentence was what Ah Xu said to Zhu Xixi, and Ah Xu's little face suddenly came to mind, and I don't know if he had eaten.
"Nope." Li Jiaang stopped and waited for the traffic light, looked at Zhu Xixi and said stubbornly, "It's normal to have disagreements in small things, but this is a discussion about the tone of human nature, which determines the way you look at the world and how you behave and do things." Hee, why do you think human nature is inherently evil? You are a college student, although you are an orphan, but you have a good adoptive father to adopt you, and you are also worry-free, you should be able to see the beauty of the world and the kindness of human nature. ”
Zhu Xixi raised his head and quietly looked at Li Jiang's preachy face, and when he finished speaking, he asked softly, "Can't I think like this?" ”
"That's not right!" Li Jiaang said categorically, "You...... You are not thinking right! ”
When the red light ended, the green light came on, and the surrounding pedestrians crossed the street, only the two of them were still standing.
Li Jiaang noticed that the green light was almost over, and quickly took Zhu Xixi's arm and ran across the road.
And Zhu Xixi seemed to be determined to confront Li Jiaang at the moment, she pointed to the traffic light and said: "Look, there is no order in this world, it is all artificially added. People have been instilled from a young age that the red light stops the green light, and there are still people who run the red light, even if there are moral and legal constraints, the evil in human nature still affects everyone. ”
"It's different!" Li Jiang couldn't help but raise his voice, frowned and said, "Human nature can have evil, but kindness is the most real, the most basic, and the mainstream!" According to you, the world is in chaos, full of wicked people, and newborn babies are also wicked. ”
"In order for himself to live, the baby has been encroaching on the mother's body since the beginning of the cell, and he may not be conscious, but the survival instinct drives him to do so, which is evil for the mother." Zhu Xixi still said unhurriedly and insisted on his own ideas.
Li Jiaang looked at Zhu Xixi in front of him and felt absurd and unreasonable, opened his mouth a few times without speaking, swallowed his saliva and said: "According to what you say, the tone of human nature is evil, so is the world in your eyes beautiful and trustworthy?" Do you think everyone is a demon in human skin? Including yourself, too? ”
Zhu Xixi looked at Li Jiang's eyes and did not answer, she believes that people are good, but people are also evil, and the complexity of human nature cannot be achieved in a sentence or two debate.
In the silent confrontation, Zhu Xixi wanted to end such an argument, and after thinking about it, he said: "It is normal for different life experiences to lead to different perspectives and different ideas about the world. ”
"No!" Li Jiaang stared at Zhu Xixi and said stubbornly, "Your thoughts like this are not right, not normal." ”
Zhu Xixi lowered his eyes helplessly and sighed and said, "Okay, can we go?" It's been standing here for a long time. ”
After she finished speaking, she randomly found a direction and took a step, with a touch of loss in the corner of her eye.
Sure enough, they were people from different worlds.
Li Jiang followed, although he wanted to speak and stopped, he didn't speak again, and the atmosphere had fallen to the point where it was as cold as the surrounding temperature.
Before the two of them knew it, they walked onto a bridge, and there were not many cars on the wide lanes in the middle of the bridge, let alone even fewer pedestrians on either side.
Li Jiang looked around aimlessly, thinking about Zhu Xixi beside him.
From the night when she witnessed the woman's death, Li Jiang always thought that Zhu Xixi was calm, but after listening to what she said tonight, maybe she was really indifferent, so indifferent in the face of human life......
As he walked, Li Jiang suddenly stopped, looked at a place in fright, stretched out his hand to stop Zhu Xixi, and whispered, "Don't move, someone is going to jump off the bridge!" ”
Zhu Xixi, who was immersed in his own thoughts, was stunned for a moment, followed Li Jiang's gaze, and sure enough, he saw a boy in a school uniform, sitting on the railing of the bridge with a schoolbag on his back, facing the endless flow of water.
In addition to this, Zhu Xixi also saw a ghost floating in the air next to the boy, the ghost was also wearing the same school uniform, his body was dirty, and there were bruises and blood stains on his face!
The ghost faced the boy, its mouth opening and closing as if to say something.
Li Jiaang looked at the boy vigilantly, his pace could slow down, he approached gently, and said tentatively: "Classmate? What are you doing here at such a late hour? ”
The boy sitting on the railing was obviously taken aback, and looked back at Li Jiaang with frightened eyes.
At this time, they found that the boy's hair was messy and tangled, the placket of the school uniform was torn and insulting words were written on it, the corners of his mouth and cheeks were bruised, and his eyes were red from crying despair.
The cold wind was blowing the boy's school uniform and shaking in the air, and the teenager's thin figure could be felt.
Looking at his face, he should be a junior high school student, and the mess all over his body is revealed, and he was beaten, maybe more than once.
