Inhumanity

Seeing Lou Shechuan's indescribable expression, Fang Sui hugged his arm: "I'm just kidding, don't be so nervous."

Lou Shechuan smiled helplessly: "Sometimes I worry that I don't know you well enough."

"It's normal." Fang Sui showed an indifferent attitude towards this, "Sometimes people may not understand themselves. It's not so easy to understand another person."

"You're right." Lou Shechuan said, stepped on the accelerator, and the car slowly drove onto the main road.

But if possible, I still hope that I can know the real thoughts in your heart.

Can do for you, what you really want to do.

"But..." Fang Sui smiled, "Uncle, if you want to know me, it's easy, just ask me."

"Then will you tell the truth?" Lou Shechuan asked him back.

"What are you talking about!" Fang Sui said dissatisfiedly, "My uncle and nephew, how can I not give you my heart and soul."

Lou Shechuan didn't respond, he just looked at the road ahead, no one knew what was going on in his heart.

"General, you are not young anymore, have you ever thought about starting a family?"

"The state affairs are not peaceful, why talk about family?"

"The country is the country, the country is also the family, and the general is also the people. Why can't we talk about the family?"

"Since I wear this battle robe and take this tiger talisman, I should naturally put the world first. If the world is not in peace, how dare I think about myself."

"I thought about it."

At that moment, he had no way of knowing what the deputy general was thinking.

He only remembered saying to himself: "Fang Jian, when the state affairs are initially settled and the world is at peace, I will allow you to take off your armor and go home."

The lieutenant general said: "I was born in a chaotic world. As far as I can remember, I have lost my homeland. In my whole life, I have been wandering, fighting with the army and going deep into the enemy's camp. I have never had a moment's rest."

"I grew up to be 20 years old, but I never knew what I have fought for and protected for half my life, the country of all peoples, the home of all peoples, what it looks like..."

He turned to look at himself, his eyes were pitch black: "General, you want me to take off my armor and go home, but where did I come from?"

Looking into those eyes, he said solemnly, "Fang Jian, if the world is settled, where can't you be your home..."

"That's the general's house, not mine," said the lieutenant general.

He looked into the distance, there was no starlight in his black eyes, and there was no hope anymore.

"If people have an afterlife, I hope that I can be born in a peaceful and prosperous world with no worries for the rest of my life."

It wasn't until this moment that Lou Shechuan suddenly realized.

千年来，自己从未真正了解过副将的想法。

The young lieutenant's shirt flapped in the night wind.

I put my hand on his shoulder: "Okay, if people have an afterlife, I would like to be born with you in the prosperous world..."

"No, General." The deputy general interrupted his unfinished words, "If there is an afterlife, we still don't want to see each other again."

At that time, Lou Shechuan couldn't remember exactly what his mood was.

Maybe it was surprise, maybe it was shock.

Maybe... There was also a bit of bitterness that I hadn't even noticed.

I just remember that after a long silence, I only uttered two dry words with no meaning: "Why?"

"The general doesn't know why...there is no reason."

The water of the Yi River is rolling away, washing away the dust of history.

The Buddhist caves on both sides of the strait have been silent for thousands of years, only watching people struggling in troubled times.

A young man's noisy voice came from next to his ears: "Uncle Lou, let's go to the general health care."

When Lou Shechuan came back to his senses, he glanced at him from the corner of his eye.

Obviously the same appearance, the same outline, but showing a completely different posture.

It is no longer an always upright posture, an attitude of obedience and forbearance.

Do as you please, be insolent.

The dark eyes are lit by the lights of the prosperous age, which will never go out.

"Okay." Lou Shechuan said, his voice became lighter unconsciously.

They went to the one designated by Fang Sui last time, and it was still the most luxurious suite.

The two of them soaked in the water at a suitable temperature, and Fang Sui breathed a long sigh of relief: "Recently, I lie on my stomach every day for review, and I feel my whole body is stiff."

Lou Shechuan watched him fiddling with the water, and expressed the question in his heart: "Why do you suddenly want to work hard recently?"

Fang Sui didn't look at him directly, but glanced at him secretly from the corner of his eye, pretending not to care, and said, "Isn't this good?"

Lou Shechuan didn't say good or bad, just asked him: "I thought you didn't like this kind of life?"

"Actually, I haven't really thought about what kind of life I like." Fang Sui said, "I'm luckier than others. I was born with everything. What others may struggle for all their lives is within my reach. of……"

"I know it's embarrassing to say that..." After this period of tempering, Fang Sui had a new understanding of the degree of distaste for the mantra he used to say, "But the truth is like this, I was born with no ambitions, and I just wanted to live my life peacefully and carefree, and it just so happened that I was born with such conditions, so I always felt that I didn't need to live so hard like others... Even though I grew up surrounded by people who didn't agree with me, I never felt that there was anything wrong with me thinking that way."

"It doesn't matter what others say." Lou Shechuan said, "It's not a bad thing to be able to live a safe and carefree life. You don't need to force yourself according to the worldly thinking."

"Uncle Lou." Fang Sui suddenly called him.

"Ok?"

"Actually, I have always wanted to ask you a question." Fang Sui looked at him with a strange expression, "Since I was a child, everyone around me has told me that my thoughts are wrong. Superior conditions, so we should not let down this natural advantage."

"My father asked me to study with you, and he also had the same idea." He looked at Lou Shichuan, "But, why did you never ask me?"

"You obviously like those who work hard..." Fang Sui looked at him, thinking about what he said in Luoyang, and thinking about the friend he said lived a hard life.

"You yourself are obviously working so hard..." Starting a business early, working in the dark, and living a life of strict self-discipline like a soldier, Lou Shechuan is undoubtedly the hardest-working group of people Fang Sui knows.

"But why didn't you ask me?" Fang Sui picked up a handful of water, and the water splashed everywhere, blurring Lou Shechuan's expression.

"Because there is no need." Lou Shechuan said, he slowly approached the young man in front of him.

Obviously the same face, the same outline.

But there is no longer the vicissitudes and forbearance left by the troubled times.

"hiss--"

The red horse's front hooves were raised high, bringing up a cloud of dust, covering the sky and covering the ground.

He jumped off his horse and hugged his lieutenant in the dark night.

"Fang Jian." He screamed with all his strength, but he couldn't hear his own voice, "You swore to be loyal to me forever, and I won't let you die."

"General..." The young man had wounds and blood on his face, as well as dust that couldn't be wiped off, "I think... this is my life..."

The young man tugged on his jersey. He probably exerted some strength, but he still couldn't feel the strength.

"I've been listening to you all my life...for the country, for the people...for the common people...Actually, I'm really tired..."

"Sometimes I think...if you didn't save me back then...maybe, I have been reincarnated...to a peaceful and prosperous age..."

The blood on the young man's face was suddenly covered with water.

The general who has been iron-blooded all his life finally shed tears in the dark night when he could not see the way forward.

But the young man who was dying could not feel the temperature of those tears, he smiled sadly: "But, I don't regret it..."

The big red horse ran around them, with the sound of hoofbeats and anxiety.

"Fortunately, this life... is finally over..." He showed a relieved smile.

"Impossible...Impossible..." Apart from repeating these powerless three words, I had nothing to do.

"If people have an afterlife...I hope I can be born in a peaceful and prosperous age...I don't have to travel all my life...Mediocrity is fine..." His voice became smaller and smaller, "Family...country...world, hegemony... Qianqiu ...it has nothing to do with me anymore..."

"Fang Jian, if you don't die, I will promise you a peaceful and prosperous life now, and promise you a lifetime of worry-free life." His voice was so flustered, but even the words of the general, the marquis, the emperor, and the emperor no longer had any meaning in the face of life and death. strength.

"And..." the deputy general's voice was as light as a feather, "In the next life...don't meet the general again..."

He let go of his shirt.

What I owed the general has been repaid.

What I owe the world is over.

"Fang Sui..." Lou Shechuan stretched out his hand to caress his cheek, "It took me a long time to understand that it is very selfish to demand others with my own ideas."

"No one should live for others." He said, "If you have the world in your heart, you should put the world first, and you should not ask others to live for the world."

"Wow——" Fang Sui sighed, "Uncle Lou is worthy of being a soldier-like president, he is the world's leader when he speaks."

Lou Shechuan: "..."

Missed out.

It's really a bad habit to express feelings.

"It's just a metaphor." Lou Shechuan withdrew his hand calmly.

Fang Sui pouted.

"You haven't answered yet, why do you suddenly want to work hard?"

"For myself." Fang Sui turned his head away and continued to play in the water, "Life is so long, so many skills are not overwhelming."

In fact, the reason in the first place was not like this.

However, during this period of hard work, he has truly changed his thinking.

Being born rich and honored is a blessing that I cultivated in my previous life.

Although I used to think that people don't need to live for others, they just need to obey their own ideas.

However, during this period of time, watching the people around me change from shock to relief one by one.

Seeing your own behavior change friends too.

He also had a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment that he had never had before.

Life is not complete as long as you don’t have to worry about eating and drinking, and there is no pressure in life.

It is impossible for a person to live for the rest of his life only for himself.

So many people are connected with their own destiny and are closely related.

There are so many people who are fighting so hard for themselves, only to fail them time and time again.

I really shouldn't think about it.

Fang Sui patted the water, feeling sublimated.
