Chapter 46
The two walked to the secluded place, and Zhang Sanhua threw away Lin Ergou and grabbed her hand with impatient look on her face.
"You've just finished your dog's belly? How can you touch your hands and feet?"
Lin Ergou laughed and was not annoyed, but looked at Zhang Sanhua quietly. Zhang Sanhua felt a little embarrassed by him and gave him a blank look.
"I'll leave if I have something to say, but if I have nothing to do."
Lin Ergou still looked at her with a smile. Zhang Sanhua pretended to leave, and Lin Ergou grabbed her sleeve again.
"Wait, I was wrong." Lin Ergou admitted his mistake and had a good attitude, "I have something for you."
The box was taken out of his arms and handed it to Zhang Sanhua. Zhang Sanhua opened it half-belly and half-doubtedly. Inside was a half-arc silver piece with round holes. There were many bells slightly smaller than the fingernails on the outside of the silver piece.
"Eh?" Zhang Sanhua curiously picked up the silver piece and looked at it carefully. The bells fell on it were not like the usual shape. Usually, the bells were a slot, and the openings were smooth, but these openings were holes and there were several small cracks on the edge.
"This instrument is a flower called lily of the valley." Seeing Zhang Sanhua very novel, Lin Ergou explained to her in great interest, "This flower is white, relatively small, and the plants are short. It is difficult to feed, but the ladies in Lucheng all like it very much."
"Oh." Zhang Sanhua pretended to be expressionless and shook the bell in her hand, but there was no sound.
Seeing Zhang Sanhua look surprised, Lin Ergou clenched his fist and endured the smile on his lips.
"I thought you wouldn't have to carry it with you if it jingles, so I asked specifically, but I didn't expect there were such dumbbells."
Zhang Sanhua curled her lips and looked at the silver piece in her hand.
"Did you see these two holes?" Lin Ergou pointed to the two holes for Zhang Sanhua to see. "If you tie a rope, you can hang it on your waist as a pressing skirt, or tie it on your hands as a bracelet."
Lin Ergou took the silver piece from Zhang Sanhua's hand and compared it on Zhang Sanhua's hand. The curve was a bit large, so he bent it slightly.
"Silvery soft, if you don't fit in, you can just bye it." Compare it to Zhang Sanhua's hands, which is appropriate, "But don't just beat it hard at once, and you can't get it back. You have to go to the shop to repair it."
Zhang Sanhua pinched the silver piece and fixed it on her wrist, shook her hand. The bells made a slight sound, and it would not be very small, and it would be impossible to hear it once you covered your clothes.
"The girls in Lucheng also like to make beads themselves and hang them in these two caves. Therefore, although Lucheng is popular with this bell, there are almost no ones that are exactly the same."
Zhang Sanhua looked up at Lin Ergou, her eyes were clearly black and white, and her voice was calm and without ups and downs.
"How do you know this?"
The academy will definitely not teach these things, and he is not someone who is interested in these things, so he can only know them from the girls.
Tsk, the gentleman sent him to study, and he went to hang out with the girl.
"What the shopkeeper said." Lin Ergou looked confused, not understanding why Zhang Sanhua suddenly got angry. It really didn't like such fragmentary things?
"Cough." Unexpectedly, there was such a possibility. Zhang Sanhua felt guilty about her random guesses and glanced at the side.
Lin Ergou:...So something went wrong with what he said.
"You called me just to give me this?" Zhang Sanhua pretended to be nothing, holding a silver piece in her hand, "I'll leave if I'm fine, the yard hasn't been cleaned up yet."
"Well, nothing else."
Lin Ergou looked at Zhang Sanhua with gentle eyes, without telling her that there is another way to use this bell, which is a hoop. He wanted to wait for her and give her a hairpin and hoop the silver bell with her.
"Then I'll leave."
"Wait." Lin Ergou suddenly remembered the conversation with Xue Lang in the afternoon, "Sanhua, do you think human nature is good or human nature is evil."
Zhang Sanhua remembered the scar on her second sister's forehead and the "Yin Family Army" who was beaten by Yin Jing now was extremely obedient.
"Of course, human nature is evil."
Lin Ergou was a little uneasy when he returned home, and Mr. Lin couldn't stand it.
"What's wrong? Sanhua beat you up?"
Lin Ergou's face was slightly hot. Although even if Sanhua really beat him, he wouldn't be angry with her, but he was still a little embarrassed to be told by his father.
"without."
"Then why are you feeling depressed? If you don't know, you might think that your girl you like is hooked."
"Sir!" Lin Ergou was a little embarrassed, but Zhang Sanhua's black and white eyes appeared in his mind.
It is said that women change a lot when they grow up, and they look better and better as they become. It is true.
"Then what's wrong with you."
Lin Ergou was silent for a while, and the following words were a little difficult: "Sir, is human nature really evil?"
"This one."
Mr. Lin blew the water in the tea bowl. Drinking tea at night was not conducive to sleep, so he could only drink some water.
"It doesn't matter. Don't you teach both good nature and evil nature? If you think the theory of good nature is useful to you, it is good nature. If you think the theory of evil nature is useful to you, it is evil human nature."
Lin Ergou pursed his lips, feeling that this was inconsistent.
"You, I asked you to study, not to let you learn a moral and righteous person."
Lin Ergou was very surprised, with his lips coming, and he looked at Mr. Lin with an incredible look on his face.
"I'll ask you, if someone steals something, is he a good person or a bad person."
"Of course, it's a bad guy."
"What if he steals things to treat his mother?"
Lin Ergou was speechless and thought about it before answering: "He is a filial son."
"Is filial piety good?"
"yes."
"Then isn't he a good person?"
“…No matter what, it’s wrong for him to steal things.”
Mr. Lin smiled.
"What do you mean, he's a bad guy?"
"…He is for his mother, and he can't be considered a bad person."
"That's a strange thing. He is neither a good person nor a bad person. So who is he?"
Lin Ergou was embarrassed and couldn't speak with his lips pursed.
"Ergou, this world is not that simple, either black or white. The good or bad of a person depends mainly on his position. For the protected people, a general who killed countless people is a great man and a gift from God. For the people of a hostile country, he is a great evil man and a devil." Mr. Lin sighed when he thought of the past, "I said so, do you understand?"
This passage caused Lin Ergou to be shocked, and his mind was in a mess and he didn't make any noise.
"I'll change the analogy like this." Mr. Lin sighed. Ergou's qualifications are still not very good. "If there is a famine, you and Sanhua have only one steamed bun to eat. At this time, someone will starve to death. Will you give the steamed bun to him?"
“…let’s go.”
"If you let it go, you will starve to death."
Lin Ergou hesitated.
"let."
Mr. Lin sighed.
"You have thought about the kind of cannibalism, if you die, what would happen to Sanhua and his daughter's house?"
Lin Ergou clenched his fists suddenly, but still lowered his head and did not speak.
"Ergou, if you change your position, Sanhua will be gone if you don't eat it. And the steamed bun is in the hands of that person, and he will not give it to you for life. What should you do?" Mr. Lin added, "That's the day, if you can find other food, you won't starve to death."
Lin Ergou's fingernail was about to stole the palm of his palm, and the word "rob" rolled in his throat for a long time but didn't come out.
"Think about it." Mr. Lin didn't want to force him anymore, "I asked you to learn those things to let you master them and take advantage of them. It's not to let you die of benevolence, righteousness and morality."
Mr. Lin remembered the past again, and his tone was not known as sarcasm or emotion.
