Chapter 401 What is a Peaceful Life
"Well, big one, have you heard? There's a treasure in town."
"Huh?"
"Don't you know? Now everyone knows, everyone is looking for treasure, and Lao Liu, who sells vegetables, has already dug five pits in his yard, and is now digging the sixth ...... Why don't we dig it up too? β
"If you want to dig and dig, you should exercise."
"Don't, how slow am I digging, how old am I, the shovel may not be able to move, you are so vigorous, a shovel is a pit, isn't it much faster than me?"
"Oh."
"No, what are you, don't you want that treasure?"
"No, didn't you say before that the treasure is fake?"
"That was before."
Seeing that the little giant in front of him was still cooking, looking like he didn't eat oil and salt, the young man simply leaned over again.
"It used to be before, and now it is now, and in the past, it was obvious that there was a problem with the grinding in the backyard, and this so-called treasure was probably unreliable, but now...... Everybody is talking about this. β
Facing the little giant who turned his head, the boy scratched his head.
"Everyone thinks there is a treasure, so it must be a bit of a statement...... Is that right? β
ββ¦β¦ Probably, right. β
The little giant scratched his head as well.
"But I'm not interested in treasure."
"And what are you interested in?"
The young people were stunned, can this kind of thing be said?
What does it mean to be uninterested in treasure? How could anyone be that they weren't interested in treasure?
"I ...... Let's put it this way. β
Carrying the boy back to the ground, the little giant scratched his head.
"What do you want?"
"What do I want?"
The young man was stunned by the question, and for a moment he didn't understand what the little giant was talking about.
What does it mean that he wants something? Why do you suddenly ask this?
"That's it...... Treasure this kind of thing, you get it, and then what? β
The little giant began to scratch his head again, as if he was deliberating what to say.
"You got the treasure, and then what? Although we don't yet know what this so-called treasure is, what kind of divine weapon it is, or a lot of money...... Suppose, suppose this treasure is powerful and can do all the things you want to do, then what do you want to do with this treasure? β
"I ......"
The boy froze in place.
He didn't seem to have thought about it.
What do you do when you get the treasure? He hadn't thought about it at all, he had only thought about getting the treasure in his hands, after all, it looked so powerfulβand he hadn't thought about what he was going to do when he got it.
The treasure must be a very valuable thing, which means that he may be able to get rich, and the treasure may also be a very powerful thing, which means that he can be unparalleled in the world, and the treasure that so many people pay attention to is obtained by him, and he will definitely be famous in the world...... But none of this in itself is the answer.
The little giant asked, what was he going to do after getting this?
What is he going to do after the rich side? What is he going to do after being unparalleled in the world? After becoming famous in the world, what will he do?
"I ...... I don't know. β
The teenager began to sweat.
Rao was already relatively smart and alert among his peers, but this kind of problem was still a little too difficult for a teenager.
ββ¦β¦ What about you? β
Thinking of this, the boy suddenly raised his head.
"If it were you, what would you want to do if you got the treasure?"
"What do I want to do? What I want, of course, is a peaceful life. β
The little giant replied without thinking.
"Just like now, go to bed early and wake up early, exercise, learn to cook, or fish, go wherever you want, do whatever you want."
ββ¦β¦ That's it? β
The boy's face became delicate.
"Just, that's all?"
"Or else?"
The little giant began to scratch his head again.
"What do you think I should do?"
"You should ......"
Looking at the little giant's sturdy body, the young man instinctively wanted to say, you should be a Jianghu person, to fight with those evil masters, to fight a world unparalleled.
But when the words came to his lips, he choked on the spot.
Hit a world unbeatable, and then what?
At least from his own point of view, if this little giant dies outside, he will probably be very sad, after all, they have been together for a while, and he has gradually felt that this little giant is indeed a good person who is worthy of being a friend.
If this little giant wins...... He may be happy for a while if he wins, but soon more enemies will come to his door, just as he will seek revenge on the golden sword, and those whose relatives have been killed will also seek revenge on the little giant - not that it will be a time to take revenge, but mainly that it will make life very disgusting.
Think about it, if there are really enemies all over the world, it means that someone will come to take revenge when eating, someone will come to take revenge when drinking water, someone will lie in ambush in the bedroom to take revenge when sleeping, and someone will hide in the toilet to take revenge when squatting and...... Although this statement sounded very flavorful, he really thought of such a way when he was thinking about how to kill the two evil qi masters who killed his entire family.
Unparalleled in the world is not necessarily a good thing, but it can also be a bad thing.
"So it's okay to have money, right?"
The boy thought.
Yes, even if you don't have any enmity with others, it's always okay to be rich in the world, right?
Like, there's a bit of a problem too.
Although his family was not particularly rich in Yangzhou before, it was also a well-off family, but it was precisely because of this that when the war disaster came, his family became the object of attention - the grassland people wanted to rob them, the bandits and road bandits wanted to rob them, and they finally escaped all the way, and they had to worry about whether other displaced people around them would attack them.
Money can indeed bring enjoyment, but if you want money to be in your own hands, you must at least have the strength to defend it.
He still remembers that night, when other homeless people wanted to take advantage of the night to loot his family's belongings, his father, and Lao Zhao, who was driving the car, these strong men wielded sticks and beat away the bandits.
"You still have to be able to fight...... Why did you go around again? β
As if a red-hot iron rod had been stabbed into his head, the boy felt his forehead begin to burn.
The idea seems to have reached a dead end, as if there is something missing no matter which path you take - even if it is the final fame in the world, it is actually a bit problematic. The fact that he is famous in the world seems to be very good, and he doesn't have to do anything with people, but it also means that as long as whoever kills the most famous person, the person who kills the killer will become the new most famous person.
It seems like something is missing, and it always feels like something is missing.
So, what's wrong?
"What is there that I haven't thought of yet?"
"You haven't thought of that yet? Lifestyle. β
The little giant crouched down and tried to look at the boy in front of him.
"For example, treasure, what kind of life will you live when you have treasure? Or what kind of life do you want to live after you get the treasure? That's what I'm asking you for, it's a way of life. β
After thinking about it, the little giant simply raised his hand and pointed to the stove beside him.
"It's like eating, what we eat now is relatively ordinary, but after you get the treasure and have money, you can eat big fish and meat every day, or simply flip the post station, or buy some better exercise equipment......"
"This ...... I understand. β
The boy suddenly slapped his head.
That is indeed understood, after all, this kind of thing is also a layer of window paper, after the little giant said, he immediately understood what the other party just meant - the key is not the rich world, the world is unparalleled, or the world is famous, the real key is, how to live after the rich world, how to live after the world is unparalleled, and how to live after being famous.
Whether it is rich in the world, unparalleled in the world, or famous all over the world, these are just a result, just a description.
But what these living people have to face is life itself.
With this in mind, he looked at the little giant in front of him.
The other party doesn't look like he's short of money, and it doesn't look like he can't fight, although this little giant looks silly, and it can even be said to be a little stupid, but the other party has fought with those Jianghu people several times, and he hasn't lost a single time - as for reputation, just look at the other party's conspicuous size, do you really need any reputation?
Not at all.
The huge body that was two stories tall was already in the spotlight just by standing there.
And the most important thing is that the other party's life is actually very good.
Just like what the little giant just said, "Go to bed early and get up early, exercise, learn to cook if you have nothing to do, or fishing and fishing, go where you want to play, do whatever you want", this description sounds simple, but if you think about it carefully, this is undoubtedly the most comfortable way to live - there is no enemy, no one to rob, and you don't need to worry about who is eyeing you, if someone really does it, you can fight, and the most important thing is that you are not short of money.
"The years are quiet."
The boy suddenly thought of such an adjective.
Just like when he was not a homeless person, just like when he was still in Yangzhou, in the afternoon, the sunset would shine through the window on the books, and Mr. Teaching would also announce the end of school at this time, carrying the book all the way through the streets and alleys to walk home, the new cloth shoes stepped on the bluestone road, the breeze blew through the willows and sprinkled on his body, and the sunset stretched his shadow very long.
In the past, he always felt that such days would go on forever, and at that time, he longed for excitement and the chic life of the people in the rivers and lakes.
But now, he only hopes that those days can go on forever.
But.
Can it really last?
"Original...... That's what you think. β
At this moment, the boy felt that he really understood the little giant's thoughts.
"Peaceful life...... It doesn't seem to be bad. β
"Right! I'll just say! β
The little giant's eyes lit up suddenly, as if he had come to his senses.
"I don't know why, what I said is obviously the truth, but they don't believe it, and they all think there is something wrong with my statement...... What's wrong with wanting to live a good life? Is this really easy? It's hard, right? You don't know what I've come to this far...... Hey, forget it, it's all over. β
After scratching his head for a while, the little giant crouched down again and looked at the boy.
"So, do you now know what you're going to do when you get the treasure?"
ββ¦β¦ I already know it all. β
The boy grinned as well.
Even if you get the treasure, you still have to live your life, and the treasure thing can be used to improve your life at most - no matter what this so-called treasure is, whether it is a magic weapon or a large sum of money, this thing should make life better, not make life worse.
So, is there anything that needs to be improved in his current life?
It seems that there is nothing that needs to be improved, although the post station is a little old, but it is no problem to live in it, if you eat, you have been adding meals recently, under the supply of big fish and meat, he has no more requirements, not to mention that he is still steadily getting stronger, and he can feel that he has become more powerful every day, such a life, is there any other problem?
It seems that there are still some, after all, there is another enemy who killed his parents, the chivalrous man with a sword, maybe still alive.
But with the speed at which he became stronger, he also believed that sooner or later, he would be able to avenge this revenge with his own hands.
It's not about using any treasures, nor is it relying on the help of any master, it's just relying on his own training, relying on his own determination to become stronger.
He could have done everything he wanted by himself, so how could he need someone else's help?
"What's more, revenge is not the end of everything."
The more he thought about it, the more the boy became more and more thoughtful.
After all, the life of the past few days has made him feel that even if the golden sword man dies, the life will go on, and it must be the same after killing another swordsman, it will probably be the same - revenge is never the end, but the beginning of a new life, and at that time, he can continue to live the life he wants and continue to live peacefully.
Yes, the answer given by the little giant at the beginning is actually the correct answer.
A peaceful life in itself may already be the greatest treasure.
"It's like grandpa."
Thinking of this, the young man even mentioned the old man in charge of the post station.
"Everyone else came looking for treasure, but he, the one who opened the inn, made a fortune...... Can it also be said that he actually found the treasure? β
"Ah, probably...... Will you wait a minute? β
Halfway through speaking, the little giant frowned.
"No, I have a question."
"You ask."
The boy nodded.
"I know everything, I'll say it."
"Isn't the treasure you said fake?"
The little giant looked at him suspiciously.
"This can't really be there, can it?"
"Of course there is."
The boy replied as a matter of course.
"The whole town is digging!"
