There is no absolute good or evil in the world. Similarly, there is no clear-cut right or wrong. People's own feelings are always an important factor that affects the balance.
If you think about it from a completely rational perspective, the grievances of a small family are insignificant compared to the safety of the people of Hongshan Town.
Under the general trend of this etiquette society, the best choice for the little beggar at this time is to put aside the grievances of his small family and achieve the great justice of the world.
However, humans are emotional animals after all. Moreover, the above logic is more about understanding the problem from the perspective of a superior person, or from the perspective of a bystander.
But the little beggar herself is a person in the story. She was born in the Qian family that was brutally exterminated by Xiaofeixia Green Forest. At the same time, she never enjoyed a good day in Hongshan Town. She has lived in the eyes of the townspeople since she was sensible.
Nowadays, it is even more because the townspeople desperately drove their aunt and nephew out of the town, which ultimately led to the tragic death of the little beggar aunt. Each of these incidents, when added up, is called a blood feud.
It is indeed true that what the Qian family did has hurt the people of Hongshan Town, but as an individual, the little beggar has never done anything sorry to the townspeople, but even so, she was still criticized by everyone.
hatred, so now she repays hatred with hatred, which can be regarded as reciprocity.
As a benefactor, Tianquan hopes that she can let go. This little Taoist priest is a good person. He will help her deal with the funeral of her family and help her find a way to cope with her future life, but he will never help her take revenge.
The little beggar actually gave up the hope of living when she climbed the Xiaofei Gorge alone. However, after walking on the edge of life and death, she was finally saved by Tianquan. Perhaps at that time, she already had a deep feeling in her heart.
Consider letting go of your hatred.
But now, Lu Hanjiang's words once again ignited the fire of revenge hidden in her heart. The little beggar had to admit that a large part of the reason why she gave up hatred was because she had no ability to take revenge.
But now, Lu Hanjiang clearly pointed out a way for her. As long as she pretended not to know anything, she could hide it from others and complete her revenge quietly.
only--
I don't know why, but when I think of being able to take revenge, the twisted pleasure always gets intertwined with the figure of the little Taoist priest in Tianquan, making the little beggar's original determination waver again.
She couldn't tell what it felt like, but when she thought of the disappointed look in his eyes, she felt a little breathless in her chest.
The little beggar longed for revenge in her heart, but Tianquan's existence was like a shackles, forcing her to kill the thought that had just arisen.
Anguish and entanglement appeared on the little beggar's face. She was fighting with her heart. Lu Hanjiang looked at her quietly, without speaking, slowly appreciating the pain of the other person's inner torture.
After a long time, the little beggar's confused eyes gradually became firm. It seemed that the little Taoist priest Tianquan had an extraordinary weight in her heart after all.
"It seems that you have made your own decision. You are such a kind-hearted child."
Lu Hanjiang sighed, and then handed the paper umbrella in his hand to the other person's hand. After the little beggar took it, he said seriously: "I will not forgive those people, but I also don't want to betray his trust. If he is here, I will
Will choose to save the people of Hongshan Town."
After that, the little beggar held up the paper umbrella, and the little figure braved the pouring rain and rushed towards Hongshan Town amidst the roar of thunder for nine days.
Looking at the little man disappearing in the rain, Lu Hanjiang murmured to himself: "He is indeed a good boy, but...it's a pity that good intentions may not be rewarded."
Although Lu Hanjiang said those words to the little beggar out of fun, what he did was to do something good out of bad intentions. After all, even if the little beggar was willing to put aside his hatred and tell the people of Hongshan Town, this was just
Her wishful forgiveness may not be appreciated by others.
Judging from the situation of their aunt and nephew a few days ago, in the eyes of the people of Hongshan Town, the little beggar is no different from the dead Qian family bullies back then. Therefore, her good intentions will most likely be in vain.
However, as far as Lu Hanjiang is concerned, it is also very interesting to see a child who hopes to embrace the light and is ultimately betrayed by his own kindness.
It's a pity that Bailongdu is approaching fiercely. Rushing in the rain is too much for Lu Hanjiang to do once, so now he just wants to wait for the rain to stop in the Yamen, and at the same time, he is looking forward to what the other person's expression will be like when they meet next time.
of.
...
On the other side, the little beggar ran out in the rain, only a quarter of an hour away, and the paper umbrella in his hand had been destroyed by the violent wind and rain into a pile of tatters.
There is no other way. With Lu Hanjiang's martial arts, he can easily protect the fragile paper umbrella with his internal strength. Even if the wind and rain in Bailongdu are ten times more violent, it will not be able to damage it at all. But the same cannot be said for the little beggar. This paper umbrella is in
In her hands, it could not withstand the impact of wind and rain.
It's still a long way from Hongshan Town. The little beggar has been soaked in the heavy rain. Perhaps as long as she is a little weaker, or the hatred in her heart can be stronger, it might not be a bad choice to turn around at this time.
.
Unfortunately, the little beggar was extremely determined this time. Since the umbrella was broken, she simply braved the wind and rain and walked forward. Big raindrops fell on her thin body, and every drop of water was like a solid stone, which hit her hard.
pain.
The river god Bailong above the sky did not show any mercy to this poor girl. The strong winds continued, the rainstorm continued, and the lightning flashed across the sky and the earth.
The little beggar persisted in this purgatory-like obstruction, and finally arrived at Hongshan Town with his mind and body reaching their limits.
Bailongdu arrived today. According to the tradition of Hongshan Town, all the townspeople, led by Li Zheng, went to the Bailong Temple in the town to burn incense and worship the river god.
The little beggar grew up in Hongshan Town and naturally knew this custom, so she went straight to the White Dragon Temple.
"The bandits from Xiaofei Gorge are coming! Everyone, run!"
The little beggar rushed into the White Dragon Temple and shouted this in front of everyone. Her appearance did make the townspeople panic a little, but it was not because of what she said, but because of her.
"Who let you in!" The stern-faced man came forward and pushed the little beggar who tried to walk in to the ground.
Another woman also stood up and said: "How can you be so thick-skinned! We all kicked you out, but you still have the nerve to return to Hongshan Town. Come on, come on!"
“The Qian family is not welcome here!”
"Get out of Hongshan Town!"
The townspeople were talking to each other, and the words they spewed out from their mouths were all cold words. Their eyes when they looked at the little beggar were full of disgust and disgust.
This unabashed hatred deeply hurt the little beggar's heart, but she still tried her best to persuade: "I'm not kidding! The bandits are really coming! You run away!"
"Qian's bastard! Get out!"
Childish curses rang out from outside the temple. A stone flew out of nowhere and hit the little beggar hard on the head. She immediately felt dizzy. Before she lost consciousness, she only saw more and more townspeople.
The stones he picked up greeted her like they were driving away evil spirits.
Seeing the undisguised hatred and disgust in everyone's eyes, the little beggar suddenly felt that he was a joke.
