Bai Gu chatted with Mr. Tang a lot, all the way from Ant Hall to the small restaurant and then to the Qingyu Inn.

Mr. Tang took out a small square from his arms and handed it to Bai Gu, "Since you are going on a long journey, you just gave me a gift, so I naturally want to return the gift." You keep this as a souvenir. ”

"No, no, Mr. Tang, this gift is too precious! Can't take it! How much is that throat lozenge, can it be compared to this thing? ”

Mr. Tang smiled and said: "Etiquette is not precious, it lies in the heart." Since it's a heart, it's cheesy to talk about money. Take it, I think it's just right. ”

Bai Gu had no choice but to take it, and when he opened his palm, it turned out to be a small seal.

The seal is snow-white throughout, cool to the touch, and is carved from an excellent material.

The bottom of the seal is wound with golden silk threads, and the seal is engraved with four square characters.

Bai Gu looked at the four words at the bottom, and asked with some embarrassment: "Mr. Tang, I can't read, can you tell me what is at this moment?" ”

"It's man-made." Mr. Tang smiled, "You should have heard of this idiom and know what it means." ”

Bai Gu nodded, "As you said, things are man-made, and people will win the day!" It was when I talked about the Hundred Defeated Sword Emperor in the summer of the year before! ”

Mr. Tang squatted down, looked at Bai Gu at eye level, and gently patted him on the shoulder, "I know I can't force others to do what I want, it's not right. But I still want to say, Xiaobai, please don't be resentful and disappointed when you encounter the darkness of the world in the future, and give others and the world more time to change, and also give yourself a chance, okay? ”

A trace of hesitation flashed in Bai Gu's eyes, and he was silent.

Mr. Tang sighed, "Xiaobai, I know that you are a very assertive child, and you have your own ideas. I'm just talking, not mandatory. ”

Bai Gu's eyelids drooped, and his gaze was a little obscure, "Mr. Tang, I know you are kind. What you say is also correct, more than what many books say. But there are some things that you can't see out of sight and not be upset by, or you can forget and let go. Some things, it's there, it's not that you ignore it, it can disappear. It's like a nail in the flesh, and when you think it doesn't hurt anymore and you want to pull it out, it still has that tearing pain, and it's even grown with the flesh. ”

Bai Gu lowered his head, "It's like not long ago, I went up the mountain to help Wu Lao find something, and a group of half-sized people broke into my house, snatched all the valuable and edible things in my house, and beat my two younger sisters." One Ah Yue will never wake up again, and another small serious injury is in a coma. If it weren't for the help of Wu Lao and Xu Ye on the mountain, I'm afraid Xiaoxiao would ......"

Speaking of this, Bai Gu choked up.

Mr. Tang's face changed, and his eyes looking at Bai Gu softened.

Bai Gu smiled bitterly and continued: "I have always been a person who will repay his kindness and repay his revenge. Brother Peng helped me find those people, the children of five families that my grandmother had helped. Is it ridiculous? My grandmother's kindness to help others has now become a stick against my sister. ”

Bai Gu took a deep breath, "Brother Peng helped me tie up the children of those five families to the graves of my grandmother and Ah Yue, and wanted them to admit their mistakes. I originally wanted to let them realize their mistakes, apologize in front of their grandmother and Ah Yue's graves, and let them come to Ah Yue every Qingming in the future to burn incense, and then pay some small medical expenses. Unexpectedly, the five children not only did not realize their mistakes, but also relied on the favor of their parents and put on an ignorant appearance. But the eldest child is already fifteen years old, even if the other children don't understand, does he really not understand? He also said they didn't do anything wrong......"

"And posing as an innocent victim." Bai Gu sneered, "The most hateful thing is their parents. As soon as he came up, he only protected his own children, whether it was right or wrong. I can understand pampering my own children, but I really can't agree with this kind of indistinguishable right from wrong. They even said they were kids! That's in front of Ah Yue's grave! Ah Yue is only seven years old this year, seven years old! Xiaoxiao is only ten years old this year, aren't they children?! ”

Mr. Tang pursed his mouth, he really didn't know what to say, so he had to pat Bai Gu's shoulder.

Bai Gu continued: "Since they can't recognize their mistakes, they have to let me help. I first asked their parents to choose between themselves and their children to die, and the other to continue to live with guilt. I know it's cruel, but I gave them a chance, and they just didn't cherish it. It's just that they're too inkbloc, so I'll help them make a decision. I asked Brother Peng's men to cut off the hands of the five children, because these five hands were involved in the smashing and looting of my house. Don't cut, I'm sorry Ah Yue and Xiaoxiao. As for the life or death of these five children in the future, I don't care, if they die, they will die. Anyway, I don't know right or wrong like this, and I don't know what kind of evil I will do when I grow up in the future, so it's better to let them be abolished from now on, so that I can give Ah Yue and Xiaoxiao an explanation. ”

Bai Gu raised his hand and wiped his face, "I know it's not good for me to do this, but if I do something wrong, they want to fool the past when they are still children, how can there be such an easy thing in the world?" I didn't let them pay for their lives, and it's good! Whoever touches my sister, I will definitely make them pay! I can be a wicked person, as long as my sister is well. ”

Bai Gu raised his head and looked at Mr. Tang, "Mr. Tang, did I do something wrong?" ”

Mr. Tang stroked Bai Gu's head and smiled warmly, "Just from the perspective of human feelings, you did the right thing, you are already very good." But it just didn't go through the government, and it was easy to be criticized. ”

Bai Gu shook his head, "Report to the government, none of the five of them can escape, and they all have to be beheaded." If I do this, they will at least have a glimmer of life. ”

Mr. Tang suddenly said, "I see." ”

"Mr. Tang, I have said all this, not to win your sympathy, or to make you think about what I should do at that time, which is the best way. I mean, you have your point, I have my thoughts. I will listen to what you say, but what to do in the future, I will weigh it again. I'm not going to change what I do, but I'm not going to disobey you. Because I think that what you said is the best and most correct truth in the world. ”

Mr. Tang smiled slightly, "Okay, I know." But I'm not the kind of sage and sage that the book says, and not all the things I do and say are right, and I sometimes make mistakes. ”

Bai Gu didn't speak, just smiled and raised the small seal in his hand.

Mr. Tang understood what Bai Gu meant, and he also smiled.

Since you insist on giving me this seal, don't worry that I think you are the most perfect person in my mind.

Right and wrong are predestined, and things are man-made.

In the snowstorm, one big and one small squatting and one standing looked at each other and smiled.

The words in my heart are all the sound of wind and snow.
