"Oops, I don't want to think about it, I'm confused, I can't remember!"

Waving his hand, Liu Chen reached out and hugged his knees in annoyance, he was sad because he forgot something that was very precious to him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"If you can't think of it, then don't think about it!" patted Liu Chen's slightly thin shoulder, and the man in white said with relief: "Let me tell me, do you want to listen?"

"Hehe, you say!" Tengdi raised his head, Liu Chen laughed childishly, as if all the unhappiness just now disappeared at the moment when the man in white spoke.

"Many, many years ago ......"

"How many years ago?" A sly smile, Liu Chen raised his hand to interrupt the man in white's narration.

"Hehe, it was many years ago!" calming Liu Chen's restlessness, the man in white said softly again: "I was born in a fisherman's family by the river, I am the youngest son, and there is an elder brother and three sisters. ”

“......”

"When I was six years old, my father finally managed to get together the restraints of the village gentleman, and I was finally able to go to school, because my family was poor, and I worked harder than anyone else in the school because of my poor family...... Reading can make you get ahead, and I was convinced of that sentence at that time!"

"So you originally read for the sake of reading!" Liu Chen smiled, took the teapot beside him, and filled the man in white with tea.

"Yes!" Sipping the fragrant tea, the man in white then nodded and said, "I want to take the test for children, and I want to test for Xiucai...... Then be a master, be a master, and your father and mother don't have to work so hard!"

"And then?"

"As I grew older, I began to understand some of the things that the book was trying to express...... When I was thirteen years old, a war broke out in my hometown, and the armies of neighboring countries invaded us!" The pain that flashed in the corner of the white-clothed man's eyes was keenly perceived by Liu Chen: "My family, as well as the villagers in the village, all died in that war, and only me and one of the same years survived because they went to the city to buy pen and ink......"

“......”

"At that time, I understood one thing!" After the pain, the man in white was still smiling: "Studying, not just for yourself, should be for more people, those sentient beings in dire straits, Li Shu, is more worthy of my rescue!"

"Don't you hate, hate those imperial kings who ruined your family......" As the man in white spoke unhurriedly, the color of Liu Chen's color also became solemn, facing the gentle breeze that came and went, the two sat opposite each other, with straight backs, just right.

"Hate, how can you not hate!" the man in white sneered, "but is it useful to hate them? In the final analysis, that battlefield is a trauma that belongs to that era, and since my parents can't come back from the dead, then I must let more people no longer bear the pain I have experienced...... This is what the sages of the past generations taught me in the book, many people, they read very well, but they do not understand what the sages want to express, they use the treasures left by the sages to realize their selfishness, or money, or status, it is precisely because of this distortion that the Eastern Continent of that era gradually became fragmented, and the people were not able to make a living...... Reading can make people enlightened, and wisdom can derive human selfishness, and there will be thousands of different understandings in the same book and the same sentence, and you want to know which understanding is correct? What is needed by hundreds of millions of people in the world is correct!"

"Then later, did you succeed?" Liu Chen squinted his eyes as if he didn't understand, his expression was a little trance, a little dazed, and more, but some panic that came from nowhere.

"Of course it didn't work!" calmly admitted his defeat, and the man in white did not have much regret on his face: "At that time, the wise people regarded me as a heretic, and they were afraid, afraid that after I succeeded, they would not be able to parasitize the panicked fools like maggots on the tarsal bones...... So, in that year's big exam, I was eliminated, one person's enlightenment, in the chaos of a thousand people, doomed to failure, there is no tomorrow!"

"These dog officials!" Suddenly put the azure glazed teacup in his hand on the grass, Liu Chen was very angry, and he was a little inexplicably angry: "Don't you know the truth that water can carry a boat and also overturn a boat?"

"They all understand, even better than I do!"

"Then why did they turn a blind eye?"

"You know!" Picking up the teacup on the ground and gently wiping it clean, the man in white was very friendly and poured a cup of fragrant tea for Liu Chen: "What belongs to you, who would willingly give it to others, people are selfish, just like you, when you have the whole world, are you willing to give me a dignified and atmospheric town?"

"Yes, why don't you want to!" While moistening the slightly dry corners of his lips with water, Liu Chen raised his head and replied without hesitation: "It's just a city, when I win the world, why not give it to you!"

"Then when you only have one city, will you divide my street?"

"Uh......" hesitated for half a breath, and Liu Chen replied with a smile: "Yes, when I have a city, I will give you a street and make a good story to be blessed and shared!"

"Hehe!" the man in white smiled even more, and his words became sharper: "If you only have one street, can you cede one side and give it to me?"

"You!" In the interval between the man in white pouring water, Liu Chen really had a hesitation in his eyes, and between the lightning and flint, the two looked at each other again, and then they each approached peace, "I have a street, you want to divide it half, can you let me choose first?"

Listening to Liu Chen's answer, the man in white stared at him with deep meaning for a long time, and directly saw Liu Chen's numbness, so he laughed and said, "Therefore, people are selfish...... Many people seem to be selfless, but in fact, you didn't poke at his pain points......"

"That's not right!" After thinking for a while, Liu Chen turned his head away from the teacup, looked at the smiling man in white with confusion and said softly: "You cheat, I'm not as stingy as you think, when I'm young, I can give my best everything to the person I care about the most!"

"This is what you intended!" sneered, and the man in white's gaze suddenly sharpened: "You also said that your generosity is just facing the people you care about, and for strangers, you are always weighing the gains and losses!"

"Since you say so, hum!"-for-tat, Liu Chen approached the man in white with an indifferent face, and said word by word: "You are also selfish, those so-called saving people are all lies!"

"Hehe!" Shaking his head and sneering, the man in white stared at Liu Chen who suddenly lost his temper with pity, "There is no free lunch in the world, and you should always be rewarded for your efforts, which is also another manifestation of selfishness, I am different from those people, I don't seek glory and wealth to save the people, nor do I ask the common people to give back to me...... I just need to keep my name in front of me and behind me! In this way, it will not affect the gains and losses of the public, and it can be regarded as the way of a saint passed down from generation to generation by the sages!"

"......" Liu Chen was silent, and in the face of the sophistry of the man in white, he was speechless.

"The so-called way of a saint is not about a selfless ...... As long as you have life and thoughts, then you must be selfish, but when you give, what the world expects, and when you get, it is all illusory...... You are a saint, people will always remember your story in the long river of history, the people of the world have obtained the dream of peace and prosperity from your hands, so they will give you back the immortal prestige!" )
