I rely on talking to brush the copy

Chu Jin suddenly threw the newspaper aside, panting, sweating profusely, and confused. He stared at the newspaper as if he was looking at some monster.

【I want to be eaten by Xiaoshun! 】

This sentence has been lingering in his mind.

Chu Jin started to tremble. The skin shrank crazily, and fine goosebumps danced all over his body. There was a turmoil in my brain.

He suddenly remembered many past events. His father beat him with a stick because "a filial son emerges from under the stick"; his mother insisted that he marry his cousin because "if you don't marry her, you are not filial to me!".

It's hard to describe how he felt at this moment.

If I had to use words to describe it, he was walking blindfolded on what he thought was a bright and spacious road, and suddenly a ray of cold air crawled out from the ground and licked the instep of his feet. He took off the cloth covering his eyes, only to find that the long night had come, and the abyss was staring at him dimly.

What is filial piety?

Confucius said: "Whenever my parents advise me, I will not obey my wishes, but I will respect them without disobeying them, and I will work without complaining."

The meaning of this sentence is that when parents are wrong, they should point out their mistakes tactfully and respectfully. If parents do not obey, children cannot disobey their parents and continue to serve their parents respectfully and work for them without resentment.

Is this filial piety? ? ?

Is this kind of filial piety really right?

Does filial piety mean blind obedience? If parents make mistakes and still obey blindly, isn't this just adding to the evil and adding to the mistakes?

Confucius required that no matter what their parents do, children should "work hard without complaining" to their parents. Confucius was a saint, so he held his students to the standards of a saint. But how many saints like Confucius have there been in China for thousands of years? The rest of the people are just mediocre ordinary people like him.

When parents are unkind, who can serve them willingly for decades?

Li Jingran said in the book that the so-called filial piety is "pretending." Pretending to listen to your parents and making them happy can be called filial piety. As for your own thoughts and will, they are irrelevant.

A foreign sage said that man is a reed with thoughts.

The reason why people are human is because they have thoughts. Without thoughts, what is the difference between humans and reeds, and those unemotional beasts?

But if a person disobeys his parents' will, he will be called a beast.

Isn't this too ridiculous? ? ?

Li Jingran chose to resist, even if it would cause him to be called a beast, he still chose to resist.

But how many "filial" people in China are puppets in the hands of their parents? Although they are not the beasts their parents call them, what is the difference between them and beasts when they have lost their thoughts and will?

In other words, no matter which path a person chooses, will he become a beast?

He thought for a long time and seemed to understand something, but also seemed to understand nothing. In the end, there was only a kind of powerless sadness in my heart.

He suddenly felt a deep sense of shame. Because I easily believed what the newspaper said, I actually thought that Mr. Night Watchman was such a despicable person.

Different from his righteousness in the past few days, now when he remembered that he had shouted at the night watchman with all kinds of contempt and contempt, his face turned red as if he had just been slapped several times, and he was burning with shame.

He always prides himself on being smart, but his little cleverness is not really smart at all! He is nothing but a pretentious mediocre person.

He is a lot older, and he thinks and sees things more clearly than a teenager, which is really shameful.

The night watchers are truly smart! Although he does not have a high degree of education, he is a real genius who needs to look up to him! Although Mr. Wang is young, his thoughts are broader and broader than those of many old scholars who talk about "benevolence, justice and morality".

He used to be one of those old academics who were full of empty words, but after reading Mr. Night Watchman's article today, he also became one of the "beasts".

A foreign sage said that life is precious and love is more valuable. If it is for freedom, both can be thrown away.

Man is born free.

Rather than destroying free will because of "filial piety", he would rather be a free "beast."

…

…

When the sun went up, the warm sunlight passed through the window and evenly shone on Fu Kemao, who was lying in front of his desk reading a newspaper. However, he couldn't help but start to tremble because of the cold.

This is a new article written by Night Watchman.

The name is "The Way of Animals".

It's a very strange name. Fu Kemao wouldn't even be able to read it if it were in the past.

But the shadow of the tree is famous for people. The author of this article is the night watchman. In the past few days, newspapers have been publishing endless stories about the Night Watchmen's private past, and it seems that the Night Watchmen's reputation has become notorious overnight.

The night watchman at the center of the storm has been silent, making no movement and has never published a defense article in the newspaper.

Fu Kemao also became more and more angry and disappointed from his previous doubts.

And this anger suddenly turned into a flash of inspiration when the name of the night watchman's brother was published in a certain newspaper.

Li Jingran’s younger brother is called Li Jingliang.

And he happened to know Li Jingliang.

Fu Kemao realized later that Le Jing was Li Jingran? It turns out that the night watchman is quite handsome? And still so young! They are actually his peers!

Fu Kemao admired the night watchman even more.

Thinking of the quarrel between the two brothers that day, the balance in his heart had completely tipped towards Li Jingran.

This must be a frame-up! The newspapers are all fake! The author I am a fan of is a good person!

As for the mastermind behind the black material in the newspaper, Fu Kemao didn't need to think about it at all, and he locked his target on Li Jingliang.

Because he smelled the same smell from the article in the newspaper as Li Jingliang. If Fu Kemao was a modern person, he would know how to describe that smell - the article was filled with the strong smell of white lotus in the prosperous age, just like Li Jingliang.

Just when he was about to find someone to teach Li Jingliang a lesson in private, the night watchman who had remained silent finally spoke out in the newspaper to defend himself!

When he heard the news from Zhang Shun, his personal servant and book boy, he couldn't wait to open the "Literature Newspaper", curious about how the author he was a fan of would personally fight against the black fans.

[I was born in a wealthy family in the Northeast, and I have been a strange child since I was a child.

…

…

So I began to observe, and the object of observation was my stepmother's son. 】

Fu Kemao felt something strange in his heart.

It was like a cold poisonous snake tightly wrapped around his heart, stretching out its snake core and gently licking the veins.

He felt panic and fear for no reason, but he couldn't tell why.

Then he continued to read.

[My stepmother's son is my younger brother.

My younger brother has always been a filial son in the eyes of my parents. He also respects me in front of my parents and often says flattering words to coax me. My parents are very satisfied with his performance, so they are more and more dissatisfied with me, an incompetent and unfilial son who can't love my younger brother.

I believe I can learn the secret of "filial piety" from my younger brother.

My family is a big family, so eating is also very particular about the rules. Only the legitimate son can enjoy the honor of eating with his parents. This is the most terrifying moment of my day.

I sat in the seat closest to my father. In the past, I would be silent like a ghost, just keep eating, hoping to end this long punishment as soon as possible.

But today is a little different, because I am determined to find out the secret of my younger brother's "filial piety".

Eating is a painful punishment for me, but for my brother, it is as happy as an amusement park.

I watched his every move with curiosity. He recited to his father with great interest, told his father about his life in school, and picked up food for his father!

"Dad, this is really delicious, please eat more." The smile on his face seemed to be painted with paste, but it was standard but not angry.

My father also showed that standard smile, "You are still filial! Unlike your eldest brother, this unfilial son never cares about what his father likes to eat!"

So the two turned to look at me, with the same coldness in their eyes, but still with a standard smile on their lips.

"If you can learn 80% of your brother, I can wake up with a smile in my dreams!"

'People will die if they don't eat. ' The teacher once warned me when I was young.

But my brother gave his precious meal to his father, because this is a filial child.

In a trance, I suddenly realized something.

This is not a dining table, but a small sacrificial ceremony.

My younger brother sacrificed part of his life to the holy father in exchange for his "filial" evaluation.

I suddenly remembered the past.

My brothers studied hard because of my father's requirements, endured his scolding, and were grateful for his discipline and punishment...

I finally realized that this kind of sacrifice was secretly carried out on different occasions every moment. The more lives sacrificed to my father, the stronger and happier my father became.

Realizing this, I suddenly lowered my head, and a lot of saliva began to secrete in my mouth. My stomach was churning, and I wanted to vomit even more.

…

…

I am going to be eaten by filial piety.

Just like Guo Ju buried his son to serve his mother in the Twenty-Four Filial Exemplars, now they are going to bury me too.

Whether filial or not, the end is death.

The only difference is whether you die as a beast in the eyes of your parents or die as a filial child.

I don't want to die.

So I left home.

So I became a beast.

But I will die after all.

Just like an animal is still an animal even if it has freedom. 】

Fu Kemao's hands trembled, as if he fell into an ice cave. In an instant, he confirmed that he had seen something extremely terrifying. He stood up suddenly, felt dizzy, and his stomach contracted violently. He leaned over and retched, as if he wanted to vomit out his soul.

…

…

Zhou Dezhang put down the newspaper in his hand and stood up. With his hands behind his back, he stared at the remaining snow in the yard.

The warm winter sun spread a layer of broken gold on the dazzling new snow, and a few sparrows stood on the branches and chirped crisply. There were children laughing outside the wall; a few cats cried in the yard.

A strange realization suddenly arose in his heart.

It turns out that the birth of a legend does not require earth-shattering movements.

Legends are often born in ordinary days.

It will take a long, long time, so long that he may have died, for people to feel the earth-shattering aftershocks caused by the silent earthquake. On the day when the legend was born, children were laughing and sparrows were singing.

Although he was sure that he was a witness to a great legend, his heart was still immersed in a dull numbness.

Only time can eliminate numbness, just as only time can cause aftershocks.

He let out a long breath and suddenly laughed so hard that he trembled all over and laughed until tears came out.

He had been trudging in the dark for so long that he himself began to get used to the dark.

If it is Li Jingran, maybe he can really open the long night of this country.

Before that, he only needs to watch Li Jingran move forward step by step, watch him ascend to the sky, watch him turn into a torch, and watch him become a legend.

The author has something to say:

There will be another update later, it will be very late, don’t wait for me.

The doctor said I can’t stay up late for my hair... If I am bald, will you still love me? QWQ

And fix a bug. In the last chapter, I said that Le Jing’s "The Animal Way" and his father’s clarification letter were published in the newspaper at the same time. I was confused when I wrote it. If they were published at the same time, it would not be conducive to the development of my plot. So I will fix it later. Remember that Li’s father’s clarification letter will be published after "The Animal Way" is published in the newspaper~
