There is no such thing as a "absolute" thing.

If you look at the same thing from different angles, you will often come to different conclusions.

If a traveler who is lost in the barren mountains knocks on the door in the middle of the night and asks for a stay, you should "absolutely" take him in as long as you have a little sympathy.

If it's a masked man in black, whether you take him in or not doesn't matter.

Even if he is contained, he should be "absolutely" wary, more or less always on guard.

But if the man in black had just helped you last night, would the situation be completely different?

If the situation is different, of course, the approach will change.

Only principles are constant.

Some people have certain principles in whatever they do, no matter how they do it.

Guo Dalu: What are their principles?

It is easy for them to forget the hatred of others, but it is difficult for them to forget the kindness of others.

As long as you have done them good, no matter what the circumstances, they will definitely think of ways to repay you.

As long as they have promised, no matter what the circumstances, they will definitely do it.

Even if you break your head, you have to do it.

They will never find excuses to shirk their responsibilities, let alone be cheeky to repay their debts.

No matter what happens, they will never run away.

In the middle of the night, there was another knock on the door.

There was a quick knock on the door.

The first person to hear the knock on the door may be Yan Qi, maybe it is Wang Dong, but the first one to rush to answer the door must be Guo Dalu.

It was the mysterious man in black from last night.

He still stood there like a ghost, and said slowly: "The barren mountain is lost, and I missed the night, I wonder if I can spend the night here?"

Guo Dalu smiled and said, "Yes, of course I can, don't say that I only stay overnight, even if I live here for a year, it's no problem." ”

The man in black said: "Is it really okay?"

Guo Dalu said: "There is no problem at all, whether you missed the stay or not, you can come at any time, we are welcome at any time." ”

The man in black said: "Your Excellency is like this, but you are only afraid of other people's ......"

Guo Dalu hurriedly said: "The same is true for others, since you are here, you are our guest." ”

The man in black said, "What kind of guest?"

Guo Dalu said: "There is only one kind of guest for us. ”

The man in black said: "There are many kinds of masters. ”

Guo Dalu said: "Oh?"

The man in black said: "There is a kind of master who will chase away guests at any time." ”

Guo Dalu said with a smile: "There is no such place as a master, as long as you enter this door, unless you are willing to go out, no one will want you to leave." ”

The man in black suddenly let out a long sigh and said, "It seems that I really didn't knock on the wrong door." ”

He then slowly walked in, through the courtyard, and onto the promenade.

The way he walked hadn't changed, his appearance hadn't changed, but at least one thing had changed—he had become more talkative.

In a matter of moments, he said two or three times more than he had all said last night combined.

* * *

Although the night was deep, there were still two or three rooms with the lights on.

Lin Taiping seemed to be still reading.

What about Yan Qi?

What he does in the house is never known to anyone else, because he always likes to keep the doors and windows closed tightly.

The man in black looked at the light in the window and suddenly said, "Your friends all live in it?"

Guo Dalu nodded and said with a smile: "I live in the last room, which is the closest to the place to eat." ”

In the last room, not only was the light not out, but the door was also open.

The man in black walked over and stood at the door, and after a long time, he said slowly: "Although Your Excellency has not said something, you must have known it a long time ago. ”

Guo Dalu said: "What is it?"

The man in black said: "No one can really sleep standing up." ”

Guo Dalu smiled and said, "It's hard to even sit and sleep." ”

Looking through the open door, you can see a large bed in the room.

The man in black looked at the bed, suddenly sighed again, and said, "But there are still some things that Your Excellency will not know. ”

Guo Dalu said: "Oh?"

The man in black said slowly: "Your Excellency will never know how long it has been since I have slept peacefully in such a large bed. ”

Guo Dalu smiled and said, "I really don't know about this matter, but I know another thing." ”

The man in black said, "Oh?"

Guo Dalu said: "I know that you will definitely be able to sleep peacefully in this bed tonight." ”

The man in black Huo Ran turned around and said, "Really?"

Guo Dalu said: "Of course it's true. ”

The man in black said, "Your Excellency can let me sleep until dawn?"

Guo Dalu smiled: "Even if you sleep until noon, it doesn't matter, I promise that no one will come to disturb you." ”

The man in black looked at him, his eyes lit up, and suddenly he gave a long stroke, and without saying anything else, he strode in and closed the door.

Then, the lights in the house were also extinguished.

The lights had been out for a long time before Guo Dalu slowly turned around and sat on the stone steps in front of the porch.

It's not that there are no other vacant rooms and other empty beds in Nirvana Villa.

But he was going to sit here, as if he was going to keep vigil for the man in black.
