Volume 10, Chapter 49: Good Night

Jiang Xiaoshu knew from the beginning that he was a strange person, and all those who had seen him, whether they were friends or enemies, would never forget him.

But he really couldn't figure out why Xiaoyu regretted knowing him.

"You will never understand that before you came, I had already accepted my fate, and I believed that my life should be like this, to be a bitch and be spurned by all people. But, however, you have told me that all men are created equal......" At this point, the little fish looked up at the sky:

"This is what I imagined you to say in my dream, but the real you, how can you not deserve this sentence - you do what you do, as the pride of the sky, but you kneel down without hesitation, just to save a group of people who have nothing to do with you......" Jiang Xiaoshu said in a low voice:

"Actually, I hesitated at the time......"

"But you still made a choice," the little fish interrupted him:

"It is not uncommon for a shameless person to give up his dignity of honor. But you are different, the glory and dignity in your heart are extremely important, but in the end you would rather abandon them and embrace your conscience, which is even more precious. Jiang Xiaoshu nodded silently and motioned for Xiao Yu to continue.

Small Fish Passage:

"In "Getaway", it is said that the morning fungus does not know the obscurity, and the cockroach does not know the spring and autumn. This is to say that some people are short-sighted and find it difficult to understand what they will never be able to touch. In Zhuangzi's other work "Autumn Water", it is also said that summer insects cannot speak of ice, and the same is true...... When I read this earlier, I couldn't help but laugh at the mushrooms, cockroaches, and summer insects, and how they were so stupid. Speaking of this, Xiao Yu pursed his lips:

"It wasn't until I met the laughing boy that I realized that it was me who should be laughed at...... I fell into the dust and could not extricate myself, and I no longer believed in true justice in this world. After seeing you, just like a blind man who has been blind for decades suddenly saw the light, I can't help but feel that there are still such people in this world, and at the same time, when I look back on the past, I can't help but be ashamed - how could I be so ignorant and ignorant? Jiang Xiaoshu comforted:

"But you at least understand that, don't you? That's more than the vast majority of people. ”

"No, it's not." Xiao Yu shook his head:

"I obviously saw how a person should live and how to chase hope, but I couldn't live a radiant life like him, and there was no hope in my heart...... So, I regret meeting you, and if you hadn't shown up, wouldn't it be nice for me to continue my life in such ignorance? Why did I understand this, but I couldn't do anything about it, this is the real pain. A line of tears flowed from the corners of Xiaoyu's eyes, Jiang Xiaoshu looked at this scene, and couldn't help but have mixed feelings in his heart, so he had to comfort:

"Xiaoyu, your parents are alive and well, and you have a sensible sister...... The point is that you're young, you're alive, and you won't be without hope. Xiao Yu said sadly:

"When the dust settles, where do I go from here? I want to marry a good family, but people dislike me for being from a dusty background, if I continue to go back to Fireworks Lane, that smoky place, I will be disgusted when I think about it...... In Zhijiang, the roof of the room between me and Xiaolan is leaky, and every day when I lie in bed without tossing and turning, I will look at it blankly as I am now, and whisper to the stars in my heart. I opened my eyes wide, but I couldn't see my future......" Jiang Xiaoshu said suddenly:

"As far as I know, there is no law that says that being an ordinary person is a crime." Xiaoyu was stunned:

"What?" Jiang Xiaoshu said:

"Yes, if you are an ordinary person who does not break the law, why do you have to let the hope in your heart be so great? Everyone wants to be a saint and wants to cultivate Qi Zhiping, then there are no ordinary people in this world, but is that kind of world really a good world? If there is no one to farm, where will the food come from? No one cooks, what do the great sages eat? If no one cleans up, the saints will have to live in the pig's nest......" Xiao Yu couldn't help but sneer:

"It's unseemly." Jiang Xiaoshu nodded:

"As far as I know, Wang Jinwei wants to be a good cook; Xiaolan wants to cook a dish for you and Uncle Yu and Aunt Yu; Lord Zhou Zide just hopes that the people of Wuling County will not be bullied...... These things may not sound so great, but isn't that hopeful? Xiao Yu retorted:

"But aren't people like you, people who want to change the world, those noble and great hopes in your hearts, more worthy of pursuit?"

"Of course it's worth pursuing," Jiang Xiaoshu nodded:

"I want to be a hero, Liu Lingwei too, and the girl I like, she wants to save hundreds of millions of people in their country with her own strength...... These are, of course, the hopes of our hearts. But I would like to say that there is a big or small hope in everyone's heart, but there is no difference between high and low. Xiao Yu thought about it, but still shook his head:

"I don't understand." Jiang Xiaoshu said:

"Because no matter whether you are a hero or not, you have to travel thousands of miles alone just to find your old master and avoid war...... All these behaviors are only for one purpose - to make everyone qualified to be an ordinary person and spend their lives in the way they like. The little fish muttered to himself:

"Spend your life the way you like...... It turns out that this is hope, and this is what I want to pursue. ”

"Good." Jiang Xiaoshu nodded with satisfaction:

"So Xiaoyu, what kind of way do you like to spend your life?" Xiao Yu thought for a while:

"I, I want to be an ordinary fisherwoman, honor my parents, raise my sister, until a simple young man in the next village proposes to me, I will become that person's wife, I will give birth to a fat doll, and then every evening, I will carry a rice basket in my left hand, and I will pull the ear of a playful doll with my right hand, and go to the field together to call my husband to eat......" Jiang Xiaoshu praised:

"Very nice wishes...... Huh! Xiao Yu leaned over and kissed Jiang Xiaoshu lightly on the cheek, interrupting him.

Jiang Xiaoshu couldn't help but smile bitterly:

"So you asked me to drink in the middle of the night, trying to take advantage of me?"

"No......" Xiaoyu tilted his head and thought for a while:

"Even if I don't drink, I want to take advantage of you."

"Who gave you the idea?"

"This is what I think of myself, because I am a person with a sense of justice, and I absolutely cannot accept that such a good night sky is only for me."

"Why are you so sure I'm coming?"

"Because you are also a person with a sense of justice, you must not bear to see a woman drinking alone." She smiled, and it was so bright that she couldn't figure it out.
