On the high platform, after Mr. Chen finished saying this, he stopped talking. With a kind smile in his eyes, he slowly glanced past everyone.

After a long silence, warm applause rang out from the audience. Almost everyone stood up at this moment and gave the most sincere applause to Mr. Chen. Especially the children, applauding and shouting loudly in their mouths.

For a while, the restaurant was very lively.

Mr. Chen also stood up from his seat and always maintained a kind smile on his face in the face of everyone's applause. Raising his somewhat thin arm, the void pressed against the crowd, signaling that they didn't have to, and motioning for them to continue to sit down.

After everyone sat down again, Mr. Chen continued to speak, "Do you know why I am telling this little story?"

In the audience, a child immediately stood up and replied: "Mr. wants to tell us through this story that we must have the right conscience when we are a person and do things." ”

The old gentleman smiled and nodded, but did not give a clear answer. Instead, he looked at the other children, expecting their answers.

Sure enough, after the child sat down just now, another child immediately got up from the stool and replied to Mr. Chen: "Mr. wants to tell us that we must be filial. ”

Mr. Chen still only smiled and nodded, but did not speak.

Seeing this, the rest of the children thought that neither of them had answered correctly. Where can I still sit still, I got up from the stool one by one, and scrambled to say the answer in my heart.

Some say that the story of Mr. is to make them understand that even if they are animals, they have feelings.

Some people say that Mr. is actually telling us that to be good to others is to be good to oneself.

There was even a child who said. He is telling us that the world is big, and it is not just the people and things we see in front of us. There are many things that we don't know and haven't touched. For example, the mysterious person who appeared at the end, he could see the catastrophe of Wang Ergou at a glance. It must be the legendary immortals, and Mr. must be trying to say that there are gods in this world.

The answers are one after another, some naïve, some matter-of-fact, and some bizarre. But no matter what kind of answer they gave, Mr. Chen never spoke. Just standing behind the long table, smiling at each child, with a serious look on his face as he thought.

Looking at Mr. Chen with a kind smile on his face, Chen Yijian finally understood in his heart why he was so loved by the local people. In fact, at the very beginning, the two children had already answered Mr. Chen's question. As for why the old gentleman didn't open his mouth yet, Chen Yijian's guess in his heart was. The old gentleman wants every child to say the answer in their hearts, whether the answer is right or wrong, as long as they say it. Because the old gentleman knows a truth very well, no matter how simple and straightforward the truth is, as long as he does not realize it, he will never be able to understand it.

After all, saying it from someone else's mouth and feeling it out of oneself are completely different things. You may be able to remember it for a day, a month, or a year, but you can never remember it for a lifetime. And the truth I realized is different. You may not remember it, but it will be imprinted in your heart, as if it was born to exist. As long as you need it, it will naturally pop into your mind.

Mr. Chen, who stood quietly behind the chair, never interrupted the children's speech. It wasn't until everyone finished saying what they thought in their hearts that he smiled and said, "What you said makes sense, and it's what I want to express." ”

For children, it is a joy to be recognized by their husbands. Perhaps when they say what they think, there will be a psychology of comparing themselves with other playmates, comparing who can say the correct answer. But when they learned that their thoughts were the correct answers. An innocent smile immediately appeared on their immature little faces, and there was no comparison in their hearts. Because, they don't need to compare with anyone anymore.

An innocent smile is like a white lotus blooming on the top of a snow-capped mountain. Glamorous, but not glamorous.

Chen Yijian, who drank the second pot of wine, got up from the stool. Leaving some broken silver, he picked up the big stone and the big ding, and walked out of the door.

Now that I have gotten the news I wanted, I have seen Mr. Chen, who is very powerful in the mouth of the guy. was fortunate to see his demeanor, and Chen Yijian felt in his heart that it was not worth the trip.

It may be that all the attention was focused on the old gentleman, so no one saw Chen Yijian's departure. In addition, he deliberately relaxed his movements when he left, and even the proprietress sitting opposite him was not aware of this.

Raise your feet and cross the threshold of Qingshui Building, stand on the increasingly lively street, look at the merchants who are hurrying away, or the passers-by who are strolling leisurely and looking east and west. Chen Yijian's face couldn't help but be filled with a faint smile, and after quickly determining the direction of Longchuan in his mind, he walked straight in the direction of the city gate.

Although Qucheng is not a small city in the vicinity, there are city gates in all directions. But except for the South City Gate, the other three places are not open to ordinary people. Generally, it is mostly used for military passage and transportation of grain and grass.

Along the way, Chen Yijian passed by the old fortune teller's stall again. But I don't know why, the stall is there, but the old man is not. In this regard, Chen Yijian did not take it to heart, and continued to walk towards the city gate without hurrying.

Beside him, a pedestrian quickly passed by. He hadn't run a few steps when he was suddenly stopped by a friend and asked him why he was in such a hurry.

I only heard the man say to his friend excitedly, I heard that Li Gongzi and Captain Ji, who was in charge of guarding the city gate, had a conflict, and they were about to fight.

Then he saw that the other man immediately showed an excited expression on his face, and hurriedly followed him towards the city gate.

And the pedestrians who were originally passing by, as soon as they heard such a lively sight, also quickly quickened their pace and rushed towards the city gate.

Chen Yijian naturally didn't care about this, but his route was also to the city gate. So in the eyes of others, he is also the one who rushed to the city gate to see the excitement. Although he was a little curious about Chen Yijian, who was carrying a big stone on his back, out of the excitement at the city gate, few people looked at him.

At this time, at the gate of the city, as more and more people came, the water that had already been surrounded was impassable. Not to mention that you want to go out of the city from here, but if you want to squeeze forward, it will be even more difficult. This made Chen Yijian, who came to the city gate, a little depressed, so he had to stand helplessly at the back of the crowd and look at the situation at the city gate along the crowded heads.

Because there were so many onlookers, there were inevitably some tall people in the crowd. Therefore, Chen Yijian could only secretly suspend his body in the air, so that he could see the scene in the distance beyond them.

As Chen Yijian was surprised, it was indeed the man with a bold temperament who had a contradiction. It's just that compared to before, the man's current situation seems to be a little unpleasant.

The steel helmet on his head has long since disappeared. His long messy hair made him look embarrassed. There were many bruises on the resolute face. At the corners of his mouth, there were traces of blood oozing out. The spear in his hand, Duan was cut into two, and he was held by the man in one hand. The rest of the soldiers who were with the man were already lying on the ground moaning and unable to stand up at all.

There was no fear in the man's eyes, only endless anger. Gritting his teeth, staring at the arrogant young man sitting on horseback in front of him.

And the young man didn't have any look of fear. He also looked down at the man and said, "The surname is Ji, what kind of big man do you really think you are?" You even dare to point fingers at Young Master Ben, not to mention that Young Master Ben just knocked him to the ground today, or directly knocked him to death. Do you think you can take care of me with a little captain guarding the city?"

As he spoke, the boy raised his hand to an old woman on the ground beside him and laughed. Especially when I saw the old woman curled up on the ground in pain, unable to stand up. The smile on the young man's lips became more and more proud.

Looking at the posture, I didn't take the old woman's life seriously at all.

Also, in terms of the identity of a teenager. He really doesn't need to take the lives of ordinary people seriously, who told him to have a good father.

The man looked at the young man's domineering appearance and listened to what was coming out of his mouth. The anger in his eyes almost erupted. didn't speak, clenched the broken gun in his hand, and fiercely rushed towards the young man.

On the side, a young man had already stepped out. Reaching out and drawing the long sword at his waist, he slashed at the man. The man did not back down, and when he saw the long sword coming, he raised his left hand and stopped the long sword with his hand. Then the man immediately raised his right hand and stabbed the attendant in the lower abdomen.

Dare to take the initiative to stand up, this entourage will obviously not be a wine bag rice bag. The hand holding the long sword shook slightly, shaking the spear back from the man's hand, and with a tact, the long sword was already back in front of him. With just a slight turn of the sword, the tip of the spear stabbed by the man fell on the sword. Then, without waiting for the man to make the next move, the attendant raised a kick and kicked him hard in the abdomen, directly kicking his entire body out of the air.

The body flew out on its back, and its back drew a long line on the ground. If it weren't for the iron armor protection on the man's body, it is estimated that at this moment, the man's back would be peeled open.

The entourage apparently had no intention of letting the man go, while the man's body was still flying backwards. He had already taken a quick step and hurried towards the man. The long sword in his hand was even more horizontal in front of him, and when he was only a zhang away from the man, he suddenly swung the sword at the man's neck.

Looking at the chill of the sword blade in the sun, the man whose body was still retreating knew that the lethality of this sword must be not small. If he is struck by this sword, his head will definitely have to be moved. At the moment, where else to care, the hand holding the two guns suddenly raised the broken gun, and stuck the broken gun into the ground. With the huge obstruction force, the man's retreating body stopped suddenly.

Not daring to delay in the slightest, the man stopped his body. Slam your heels into the ground, straighten your back, and get up from the ground. At the same time, he pulled out the two spears that were inserted into the ground, staggered in front of him, and faced the long sword.

But what the man didn't expect was that the attendant saw him raise his gun to block it. Unexpectedly, he pressed the long sword in his hand down, and the long sword that was originally attacking his neck immediately changed direction and headed towards his lower abdomen.

The man, who was not in a hurry to change his moves, had to forcibly retreat a few steps backwards quickly.

The sharp long sword, in a flash. Cut the iron armor on the man's abdomen, leaving an extremely long wound on his body.

Red blood poured out of the man's wound in an instant, dripped down the man's body, and fell to the ground. But the man didn't care, and the long sword of his entourage slashed through his body, and he didn't take it back. The man had already raised his hand to break the gun and stabbed his follower in the head.

The entourage did not panic, the long sword was not recovered, but he still had the scabbard in his hand.

The body that rushed forward came to an abrupt halt after the entourage's toes lightly touched the ground. Tilt your head back and concentrate your whole body on your heels. The body fell backwards at a 60-degree angle to the ground, dodging the man's first shot. Then he raised the scabbard of his left hand and slapped away the other shot that followed the man. He was about to get up, but he didn't expect the man to kick him again.

The extreme leaning back of the body made the entourage have no better way to deal with it for a while. You can only forcibly dissipate the strength of your heel, so that your body falls straight down.

The man seemed to have expected him to make such a move, where would he let him succeed. The strength of retaining a few points was used instantly, and he increased the force halfway to make the speed a few points faster, and before his body hit the ground, he kicked him out horizontally.

Compared to the scene when the man was kicked out by the entourage just now, the entourage at this time was not much better. The only difference between the two is that one flies out upside down and the other flies out horizontally.

The decisiveness of the entourage, men also possess. Even because of his military service, there are only a lot more men than his entourage. After all, on the battlefield, as long as you hesitate a little, you may die the next moment.

So the man had already taken a step towards him as his entourage flew out. The broken spear in his left hand was thrown out by the man at this moment, and he chased straight after his body. Leaving only the broken spear with the head in the right hand, he killed the retinue.

He had already thought in his heart that even if the other party could block the broken spear he threw at the first time, then he would never be able to block his second shot.

Seeing this, Chen Yijian couldn't help but sigh. Although the man's actions were indeed good, in his eyes they were tantamount to death. Because, at the same time as the man pounced on his opponent, another attendant with a long sword also quietly struck at him. And the attendant who flew out clearly flashed a smile in his eyes when he saw his companion make a move. Although he was not noticed by the man, he could not escape Chen Yijian's eyes.

In Chen Yijian's opinion, if the man did not throw out the broken gun in his hand, there might still be a little room for maneuver in the face of the sneak attack of the person behind him. At this time, there is only one way left for the man.

That is, die!
