Chapter 374: Courage, Life and Death
To live or to die, which one requires more courage?
You're not afraid of death, can't you muster up the courage to live? Heh, what's the point of living, it's better to die, heh.
It depends on which one requires more courage, life or death, which option is the most advantageous and you choose the other. For example, having wealth, enjoying the taste of supreme every day, and not bored, immersed in life, and unable to extricate themselves. If you choose to die at this time, it will be meaningful. When life is worse than death, and you choose to live when you want to be liberated, what you need most is courage, not the courage to ignore death, but the real courage.
Where does courage come from? hatred, or whatever.
Why is Jian San called Jian San? That's the question. Some people may use numbers as their names, but no one should have a sword as their last name. Well, perhaps, there is no research. However, even if there is really a surname of sword. Jian San has nothing to do with them. It's just that Jian San is the third disciple of the master, and then everyone calls him Jian San. As for the real name, that kind of thing doesn't mean anything at all.
In winter, it is a rare good thing to have good weather. It's also excellent for sleeping and can't be counted as waste. It's a pity that Jian San is unblessed. He's been asleep for a long, long, long time. Of course, this is not a problem. The problem is, Kenzo hasn't eaten in a long time. Even a sound sleep can't stop this hunger.
The flask that was still in his arms was drunk again before he threw it away, but unfortunately it was gone. When did you finish drinking? I remember the last time I drank it, there was still a lot left, well, at least a little more. Kenzo stretched out his hand and yawned, smelling the exhaled wine, smacking his lips, as if he had drunk it all in a dream. Fortunately, there was a residue of this wine, otherwise Kensan's good mood after a full sleep would have been ruined.
I touched the sword at my waist, well, empty, nothing. Kensan stood up, feeling a little unsteady on his feet, and decided to use the sword as a crutch, anyway, it was protected by a scabbard and was not in the way. Well, sword, well, no sword. Jian San finally came to his senses a little, and his sword was gone. Ahem, I'm just reacting now. It has no sword.
How could it be that Jian San would not do such a shameless thing. Kenzo's eyes narrowed, thinking carefully about the question.
The sword searched three or four times, unwillingly, and wanted to find out if it would fall elsewhere. In a daze, it saw two people in the distance, an old man and a girl, no, a little boy, no, a little girl.
Jian San shook his head, it was important to find the sword, what some passers-by were doing. He looked around and saw that there were fields all around. Kenzo scratched his head, thinking that he didn't seem to be from this place.
"Hmph, what are you looking at?" approached, and the girl smiled coquettishly and said to Kensan. Let Jian San be very uncomfortable, after all, he is not familiar with it, is he?
Scratching his head, Jian San still laughed a few times, and then said, "I am Jian San, and also, this is my sword!" After speaking, Jian San pointed to the sword on his waist! Unfortunately, he forgot that his sword could no longer be found.
The girl was stunned, and there was obviously no sword on Jian San's waist. The old man behind him smiled and said, "Where is the young man? How can you be here, the old man has lived here all his life, but he has never seen you." β
Jian San scratched his head, and there was a sadness between his eyebrows. "I don't know. But it doesn't matter, maybe tomorrow I will go somewhere else, and I can say that I came from here. β
Seeing the sad Jian San, the little girl seemed to be a little distressed. How wonderful, still at an age of innocence. "Hello, my name is Xia He, welcome to River Village!
Hearing the little girl's words, Jian Sanyi smiled. It looks like it's a pleasure. Suddenly, the tears fell, slid into the grass on the side, ticking.
The little girl said, "What are you crying about, if the boy has tears, don't flick?"
The old man pulled the little girl and motioned for her not to talk too much. Jian San didn't care, but said: "The man doesn't flick when he has tears, but he doesn't cry yet." Happy, I'm happy, happy and want to cry. It's the first time I've been so happy, and you shouldn't shed some tears over it?"
The little girl didn't quite understand why she was crying when she was happy. But this is a man, who will never be defeated by sadness and suffering, and will not cry because of grievances and pain. On the contrary, when you are happy, it is slightly possible to cry with joy.
Xia He pulled Jian San and was about to go home. But Jian San didn't move, and said, "Wait a minute, I'm going to find my sword first!"
Xia He said curiously, "Isn't your sword at your waist?"
Jian San pointed to his waist and said, "Look, where is the sword here?"
Xia He sneered and said, "You weirdo!"
Jian San can't figure his head, he doesn't want to think about it if he can't figure it out, it's important to find a sword. Xia He found Jian San's sword from the grass with sharp eyes. It seems that Kensan threw it out when he was dreaming.
"If you chase me, I'll return the sword to you!" Xia He picked up the sword lightly and ran, but Jian San did not chase after him, and the old man followed slowly.
Xia He soon saw that Jian San was not chasing, and soon he was tired of running, so he pestered Jian San and said: "Jian San, are you very good at swordsmanship! Do you want the two of us to practice?"
Jian San shook his head: "You're not my opponent!"
"Hey, there's no one in this village who is my opponent!" Xia He's forehead raised slightly, and he looked like he was very powerful!
"Well, you're the best!" Looking at the girl next to him, Kenzo just smiled.
Before you know it, your destination is about to arrive. You can faintly see the houses not far away, and it doesn't look like a small village.
"Do you really want to stay here?"
The old man asked abruptly, and his tone was very unusual.
Kenzo stopped, and didn't answer for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking. Xia He, who was on the side, pushed to make him sober up: "Oh, yes, I want to stay here!"
The old man asked, "Why?"
"Because I like this, it's quiet!" Looking at the old man's eyes, Kenzo was not afraid and said his true thoughts.
The old man didn't say anything, he looked at Jian San, noncommittal, so that people couldn't guess what was in his heart. The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.
"Okay, grandpa, I see that this stupid guy has nowhere to go, and it just so happens that our family is short of a coolie, so let's make do with him!"
Feeling the uncomfortable atmosphere, Xia He walked to the old man's side and sprinkled for a while, which immediately made the old man smile.
"Well, I can be a coolie!" Seeing the old man's appearance, Jian San was also very cooperative, looking grateful to Dade. No
The old man didn't say anything, glanced at Jian San, and left, and when he stopped next to Jian San, he said a word, which made his body sick. "If you want to stay, can you stay, but can you calm down?"
After saying this, the old man took Xia He's hand, leaving Jian San behind him, Xia He looked puzzled, and looked back from time to time, I don't know what was wrong.
One-step, two-step, three-stepγ... Ten steps, in the end, Jian San chased after him, and Xia He's cheerful laughter broke the silence.
"Stupid, see no, that's River Village!" Xia He said with a proud look as he pointed to a large village from afar.
"It's really good, such a huge guardrail, like a city wall, but I don't know what it's guarding against. Jian Sanyi said lightly.
"That's natural, this is what Grandpa Zhang did, and he and my grandfather are good friends?" Xia He said happily.
"You didn't build it, what's there to be excited about. Looking at the time when this guardrail was built, you were probably still breastfeeding!"
seemed to be very dissatisfied with Jian San's words, Xia He kicked over like that, looking very angry. But seeing that Jian San was in pain after receiving that kick, his face immediately bloomed with joy again: "Let you talk nonsense, you know how good I am, I said, I'm amazing!"
Jian San's expression was not because of how painful Xia He's kick was, but just pretending. And I was a little amazed, the speed was so fast, I didn't avoid it for a while. But he didn't feel a trace of danger in her.
"Looks like I've come to the right place!" Jian San smiled, but it was impossible to guess what he was laughing at. She looked at Xia He, but actually glanced at the old man beside her.
"Hum!" Feeling a loud bang in his head, Jian San quickly looked away.
"Master!" Kenzo thought, if he fought against this old man, he would definitely die.
Jian San's heart sank suddenly, although he had many thoughts, he definitely didn't expect that the person he was looking for would be so strong.
"But, it's okay, it's okay!" Looking at the village that was already nearby, Kenzo thought like this, River Village, this village doesn't seem to be so simple, it seems that he will stay longer!
"See, those two words were written by my grandfather, amazing!" was already approaching the East Village, Xia He pointed to the two words on the gate.
"Kawamura!" looked at those two words, and Kensan muttered silently. It's as if I've lost my mind. Two words, very powerful, but look ordinary. When his eyes left, he couldn't help but take another look to reminisce about the artistic conception between the words. Vaguely, Jian San seemed to see the old man's appearance when he wrote this word. Vaguely, Jian San saw an indescribable sword intent from this word.
"Hey!" Feeling pushed, Jian San came back to his senses, smiled embarrassedly, and then looked at the old man and nodded.
"Not bad!" Leaving these two words, the old man left with a smile, Xia He and Jian San followed.
But as soon as they passed the gate, several people's bodies stopped. Because Xia He seemed to see the enemy, all the hippie smiles just now dispersed, and they were replaced by the cold. The old man had a normal complexion, nothing.
There are three conspicuous guys, swaggering, who are obviously the targets of Xia He's anger.
"What's wrong?" Jian San asked inexplicably, and looked at the three of them from time to time.
The middle one was very arrogant, just standing there straight, not talking to others, as if he was disdainful or arrogant. The two people next to him looked arrogant, shouting something, very angry.
"Seeing those three people, they always come to us for trouble. The one in the middle is called Wang Feng, and the two next to him are doglegs, which is annoying!" Xia He pointed at the three people, and his words were a little impatient.
Jian San smiled slightly, looking at the three people from time to time, and his eyes happened to meet the one named Wang Feng.
A little capable, Jian San feels like this, and it takes ten moves to solve him.
Jian San came back to his senses and looked at Xia He again, his iron blue face, thinking of the previous appearance, was a little funny.
When Jian San was just about to make fun of her, he did find that Xia He rushed over and shouted: "Wang Feng, what do you mean!
The others heard Natsuho's voice and moved out of the way to make room for him.
"It's nothing, we just wanted to come and have a chat with you, but we didn't expect that no one here would dare to play with us!"
"Yes, by the way, our brother Wang Feng also came to see Sister Xia He,!" the other also chimed in.
But as soon as the words came out, they heard a snap, and Xia He gave them both a slap. At the same time, Xia He's hand also slapped towards Wang Feng, and it was indeed blocked by his hand. The two of them fought against each other like this, but they both retreated, but Jian San found that Xia He had obviously taken two more steps back.
"You!" the two doglegs were very angry.
"What are you, don't you want someone to accompany you to practice!" Without glancing at the two of them, Xia He said coldly, and walked in front of Wang Feng after speaking: "Do you still want to continue to compete?"
"Wang Lei, Wang Dian, you are too presumptuous, no wonder Xia He wants to teach you a lesson!" did not answer Xia He's words, Wang Feng instead said to the two people around him. The two looked very unconvinced, but in the end they didn't say anything more.
"But Xia He, I did come to see you, can't you smile? That Wang Feng smiled and said lightly.
Jian San looked at Wang Feng, a little uncomfortable, I don't know why.
"If I can't see you, my face will be fine!" This Xia He didn't give him face at all, and when he heard it, Jian San was very comfortable in his heart, looking at Wang Feng's expression, he was happy from the bottom of his heart.
"Okay, then I'll go, but don't forget the competition on the fifteenth day of next month, Sister Xia He. I hope your face looks a little better then. β
Wang Feng didn't seem to be angry, still so pleasant. Called the two people around him, walked out of the crowd, and saluted the old man in front of Jian San, and crossed directly to Jian San as if he hadn't seen such a person at all.
Jian San was silent and didn't say anything.
Xia He's face was still cloudy, and he was obviously still extremely unhappy. The old man just reminded Xia He that it was time to go, and not to be like them.
