It doesn't matter, I'll wipe it. The swallow's nest is here. You see, it can't be helped. It likes my place. Since it likes it, I will respect its choice. It is my noblest guest because it is the closest to me. I'm a person who follows fate. Whoever needs me, come closer to me. I will never refuse. Whoever wants to leave me, it doesn't matter. Of course, don't think that I like bird poop. I will never like it, but bird poop makes me feel good and can manage my life. I knew that one day I wouldn't be able to do it again. I would need someone to clean up my mess like a baby. Sadness? No, didn't I say that I'm a person who follows fate? I can pick up and put down anything. That is also a process that must be passed through in life. From the cradle to the hospital bed, everyone is like this. It is not called giving up dignity. One day, swallows will grow old, but I'm not sure if they died in this nest. The nest has existed for more than 20 years, and I've never seen the body of a swallow. I've only seen identical swallows flying in and out. I don't know how many generations have passed. The swallow hasn't changed, but I've grown old. Indeed, as you said, I don't feel sad about getting old. I'm even glad that I can get old.
The Cowboy said to Leo,"That's the monkey I saw."
The big monkey had the face of a human, but it had the expression of a monkey. He gestured with his hand and pointed at the top of the cliff. A vine hung down from the cliff, and an old man in white slowly climbed down from the vine. He knelt down and kowtowed to Leo.
Leo quickly helped the old man up and asked in surprise," Why was the old grandpa like this?
Old man: I'm an astrologer. Last month, I observed the sky at night and saw a king star in the southern sky leading several general stars to move slowly to the north. I counted on my fingers and happened to pass by here today, so I ordered my son to wait here. This child is ugly. Don't disturb the emperor.
Wang Xing? A son? Everyone was very surprised.
The old man continued," A year ago, I observed the sky at night and saw the Sirius Star, which had been dark for hundreds of years, suddenly light up. I had a premonition that something bad was going to happen and wanted to inform the world that a disaster was coming. But I couldn't walk, so I sent my son to intercept passersby and bring letters. However, when the passers-by saw that he was ugly, they all ran away. The letter was not sent out. Later, Sirius became brighter and brighter, and the stars became dimmer and dimmer. The entire Milky Way was shrouded in fog. I knew that the world was sinking, and I was very depressed. When I noticed that a weak little star in the southern sky suddenly lit up, there were also a few very bright general stars surrounding it. I knew that a new king would appear, and there would definitely be a war between justice and evil. And you are that little king star, the new king.
Leo: Really?
King: Yes, there is an astrologer in my kingdom who has always given me accurate information and avoided many disasters.
Cowboy excitedly said: Leo is really Wang Xing?
Liar: He is not a liar.
Beauty: Now you believe me.
The Cowboy said excitedly,"I always believe in liars." Leo is the King Star, so wouldn't I be the General Star?
Leo: Sirius has been dark for hundreds of years. How do you know?
"I'm three thousand years old."
"How can there be such an old person in the world?”
King: Many strange people often live in seclusion in the mountains and forests. This old man must have some profound health care technique.
The old man took out a huge pearl and said," I've lived to this day by absorbing the energy of the pearl. This pearl was nurtured by an oyster that had been growing for millions of years. It contained millions of years of moonlight energy. It could make people clear-headed, healthy, and immortal. I would like to offer this pearl to the king.
The swindler's eyes lit up and he sighed,"This is a priceless treasure."
The pearl emitted a seven-colored light, and the seeds on the ground immediately sprouted. The withered vines also grew new branches.
Leo suddenly felt light and strong, and the skin that had been bitten by the wolf quickly healed.
Leo: I can't take it. I'm not a king. I'm just the leader of the boy scouts. Besides, what are you going to do if you give it to me?
Old Man: You will know that you are the new king in the future. As for me, at my age, I've enjoyed an extra three thousand years, but I can't contribute to the world. What's the point of living? Take it. This is the only contribution I can make.
Cowboy: The old man gave it to you sincerely, so just take it.
Leo: Shut up, Grandpa can't live without it.
Genius: Leo, what the old man said makes sense. Besides, this pearl can heal the soldiers. It will be of great use to us. We have the same wish as the old man, to save the world. She just couldn't let him down.
Everyone came to persuade Leo, and Leo accepted it.
The monkey man tugged at the corner of the old man's clothes. The old man introduced him to everyone,"This is my son. I picked him up in the mountains and fed him with the milk of a female deer." He wants me to go home with him. It's getting late. We're leaving. Your Majesty, take care.
Everyone said goodbye to the old man. Monkey carried the old man and jumped up the cliff.
Leo shouted at the old man,"Grandpa, how do you know that I'm the king you mentioned?"
The old man's voice came from the top of the cliff,"Your eyes are calm and benevolent, your brows are open and intelligent, and there are four seas hidden in your chest. You have the aura of a king!"
Leo pondered for a long time.
Leo used pearls to treat the soldiers, and they immediately recovered. Everyone marveled at the pearl's divine power and discussed the fortuitous encounter today, guessing the origin of the pearl and the monkey people.
The king said,"There are many strange things in the world. There is nothing mysterious about them. It is just that they are not often seen."
I said,"So we must have a heart full of dreams…"
Leo: Never be numbed by mediocrity. We also need to have a heart of acceptance…
I say: to contain things we have never experienced.
Liar: What a coincidence.
[Beauty: Stop teasing them.]
King: Don't you think the journey is getting more and more interesting?
Is it because I joined? Genius made a face, and with the twisting of his deformed body, he looked scary and funny.
Everyone was amused by him and laughed.
There was no news from Leo. The judge and Monkey waited anxiously in the military camp and discussed it together. Monkey found the country's traffic map from a travel agency and discovered another route to advance. He planned to use trucks to transport soldiers and supplies. He had already found out that there was fuel at the service stations along the highway and had a few soldiers learn how to drive. They decided to march.
Monkey: We can take the highway for 15 days to reach the third fortress, and then take the winding mountain road for 30 days to reach the sixth fortress. There was no service station on the mountain road, so they had to carry fuel. When they reached Luoyang, they could only walk on the small stone roads. The vipers destroyed all the roads within a thousand kilometers of the city.
Judge: Slowing down will consume more supplies.
"If only there was a plane to transport it.”
"Isn't there a military airport not far away with a few planes parked there? We can learn to drive."
"All of them are missing arms and legs. The good planes have long been blown up.”
"It can be repaired."
They were both excited and nervous because of this bold idea.
Gong Gong was sitting on the throne, fiddling with the Rubik's cube while the treasures in front of him were piled up like mountains.
Viper said excitedly,"Your Majesty, all the wealth in the world is here. What should we do with it?"
Gonggong said nonchalantly, Burn it. It was useless.
The poisonous snake cried out in alarm,"Burned?" What a pity! Why don't you give it to your subordinates? When the humans are released in the future, we can buy many things.
"Be careful not to become as corrupted as humans. Only by remaining pure can we rule the world forever.”
"The body can rot, but the spirit is forever pure.”
"Oh? Is this okay?"
" The rulers of mankind are like this. They talk about benevolence, righteousness, and morality, just like saviors and public servants. They enjoy all kinds of luxury behind their backs.”
"So they failed."
"That's because of our appearance. Enemies as powerful as us will never appear again.”
"Is that so? That would be too boring."
"Compared to the luxury of humans, the monsters live like monks. They want to try all kinds of new things.”
"What if you don't?"
"They'll be very unhappy."
Gonggong frowned and said,"Oh, what will happen then?"
Snake rolled his eyes and said,"They will..."
Gong Gong laughed, Is it a threat?
Viper smiled and said,"I'm just worried…"
"I've finished the Rubik's Cube.”
"Is that so? You're really amazing!"
"What about the speed record?"
"Eight seconds. A child kept it."
"What is it? Eight seconds! Oh, that's not a human's child, it must be a Fuxi's illegitimate child! I've been playing for a long time, and the fastest I can do is only 30 seconds.”
"Why don't I find him and ask him to tell me the trick?”
"What's the point of breaking the rules? Those who were looking for guides were all low-level players.”
"Then you have to put in some effort. I'm afraid it will affect your rest.”
"Forget it, let's split the treasure."
Viper knelt down happily and massaged his legs." My brothers must be very happy. I thank you on their behalf.
Gong Gong frowned and continued to play with the Rubik's cube, thinking about something outside the game.
Viper held a blueprint and ordered the guard to open the door of an abandoned mine. A row of miners with tattered clothes and ashen faces were whipped into the mine.
Viper shouted,"Damn slaves!" Dig out the gold! No one is allowed to slack off!
Suddenly, there was a loud bang not far away, and dust rose. A few wasp guards were blown away.
Viper cursed,"What happened?" Do you want to die?
A guard ran over and reported,"Reporting to the Prime Minister, it's a gas explosion. This used to be a coal mine."
Viper opened the blueprint and shouted,"Who can understand this damn blueprint?"
A miner jogged over and flipped the blueprint over." You're holding it upside down.
The miners laughed.
Viper kicked him and shouted,"Go and work for me!"
He looked at the blueprint, stretched out his whip, and pointed into the distance. All of you, go over there! That's the damn gold mine!
Leo was walking in the mountains, where there were dense bushes. They stopped in a mountain valley to rest.
Genius made some changes to the bow and arrow. He added a few feathers to the tail of the arrow and smeared animal fat on the arrowhead and arrow body. Then he assured them that they would shoot more accurately and farther than before. The Cowboy brought a few soldiers to test the arrows. I learned how to design all kinds of hairstyles from beautiful women.
The king was patiently sharpening Leo's dagger on a grindstone. Leo was surprised that he knew how to do this kind of work. The king told him that a man was a warrior first, and then he had other identities. If a warrior didn't cherish his weapon and didn't know how to sharpen it, he wouldn't be an excellent warrior. After sharpening the dagger, Leo gently tested it on the branch and cut the thick branch neatly into two. Leo quickly asked the soldier for a sword and learned how to sharpen it.
The swindler was rounded up by the soldiers and asked to tell some strange stories. They found his story amusing, and had never heard it before. He could also perform all kinds of characters, and his imitations were very realistic. Especially the part about the witch, it scared the soldiers.
After a while, the cowboys and soldiers returned with a few rabbits and two antelopes. The soldiers praised the genius's method. They had never hunted so many prey so easily.
The genius used antelope skin to make many insoles for the soldiers, which were both comfortable and wear-resistant. He always carried the potion for the skin, which was a top-secret formula.
Everyone fell asleep in a good mood.
At midnight, Leo tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. The bonfire had already been extinguished, and a few wisps of smoke were rising from the broken wood. The King was snoring heavily. The soldier on night duty sat on the ground with a spear in his hand, his head drooping as he fell asleep.
Leo took out a bronze mirror and walked to the side, stroking it. The Mirror Demon sensed it and regained its light.
I asked Leo softly,"Why aren't you sleeping?"
He replied softly, I can't sleep. I want to talk to you.
I said,"Say what?"
Leo: Anything.
I don't want to be a third wheel. Good night! The Mirror Demon interrupted and disappeared. Then, he stuck his head out from behind me and said," I won't say anything. Don't worry."
I laughed and said,"Annoying!"
The Mirror Demon disappeared completely.
Leo said," I think you're fine in there. The wind can't blow and the rain can't hit. There's no danger. You have the Mirror Demon to accompany you. You're free." These days were like holidays, and he never had to go to school.
"But you can't have holidays every day. And I won't grow old or die. I'm afraid of loneliness.”
"Just like the king and the others. They lost everything they were familiar with and their identities. They must be very lonely.”
"That's why I often want to talk to you. I'm afraid I'll delay your business.”
"Actually, I'm also afraid that I'll get tired of talking to you.”
"No, why would I be sick of you? Did you know? When I was floating aimlessly on the sea, only seeing fish, water birds and the sea, you don't know how painful it was for me. I thought about floating forever like this, or being buried in the sand for hundreds of years like the God of War, playing cards with the Mirror Demon every day, and not dying. I was going crazy.
When I saw a finger suddenly appear in front of me, followed by a familiar boy's face, it was the kind you. I was really happy to death. I wish I could chat with you like this every day. It was you who saved me and brought me back to the world I live in. Don't ever ignore me one day. If you leave me alone, I'll die of sadness.”
"How could that be?"
"No, swear!"
"Okay, okay, I swear. What do you mean?"
"Just say it. I, Leo, swear to Zhurong now.”
"I, Leo, swear to Zhurong now.”
"Never leave Yena behind, love her forever.”
"Never leave Yena behind, love her forever.”
"Until the last moment of my life."
"Until the last moment of my life."
"If I break my oath…"
"If I break my oath…"
I didn't say anything.
Leo:
"I don't know."
"What kind of oath is that?"
"I don't want to swear anymore."
"How can that do? If I break my oath, I will be alone forever.”
"I don't want to. I want you to be happy forever."
"But I won't go against my oath."
"That won't do."
Leo looked at me without saying anything. I also looked at Leo and avoided his gaze. My face was burning.
It was late at night. Leo lay on the ground, and I was on his chest. We looked at the stars and the cold moon.
The Mirror Demon played a soft and beautiful piece of music, telling them that it was the flow of time. The music made people feel extremely melancholic and sad. Scenes of the moving years appeared in front of her eyes. They disappeared and never came back, just like a small river flowing quietly in her heart.
We both fell into a hazy melancholy under the cold moonlight. Fortunately, there were still a lot of romantic feelings supporting me at that time, so that I could avoid such a deep pain in reality. Otherwise, I don't know what would have happened to me. In such a difficult environment, the desire for love in the heart is a luxury, and none of us are willing to talk about it. It was as if that was a selfish thought. Saving the world was the only thing he should think about and do. Although he did not know much about this matter, he did not even have any plans for how he should spend his life. Every step we take is a new path for us. Every day is a day that we have never experienced before. The world slowly opens up in front of us one picture after another, satisfying our curiosity. Suffering slowly erodes our souls. Let me tell you, everyone is born a masochist. Suffering will germinate and take root in your heart, becoming part of your desires. It might even take up more space than love.
The next morning, it was foggy. Along the way, the fog did not disperse. They could only hold hands and walk forward.
Suddenly, he heard a few shouts behind him. Leo looked behind him, but he soon got lost in the fog. He could only rely on the sound to determine his direction.
The soldiers shouted again. Leo asked,"Mirror Demon, did you encounter an evil spirit again?"
Mirror Demon: Maybe, I can't see clearly.
I said,"Quickly check if this is magic cast by an evil spirit."
Mirror Demon thought, Why didn't I think of that? Let me see. The book says that Mist Magic can condense water vapor and create a thick fog. It works when the sun is not strong in the morning. The way to break it was to chant the incantation of the moon and use the moonlight to summon the sun to gather the sunlight. This is the Moon Spell.
Leo looked at the Moonlight Spell, but he couldn't understand it. He suddenly thought of the pearl that could emit moonlight, so he took it out to try. The pearl emitted a seven-colored light, and the mist immediately dissipated. A row of soldiers had already fallen. An evil spirit was absorbing souls. He was as tall as a bush, like the root of an old tree.
Leo shouted," Evil spirit, come and fight with me." I am the leader.
Let's see how powerful I am first. The evil spirit laughed and threw out an axe, hitting Leo's chest.
Leo fell unconscious on the ground. In his daze, he saw a classmate being punched and kicked by a few hooligans. He was very afraid and hid in the corner, not daring to come out.
I said,"What's wrong with Leo? There are no scars on his body."
Mirror Demon: That axe was a spell. Leo was hit. Let me check. Oh, the Axe of Fear. The victim will fall into a deep coma and be unable to extricate themselves from fear. After a long time, they will go crazy. The solution was to enter the victim's consciousness and help him regain his senses.
I entered Leo's consciousness and asked him what he saw. Leo asked me to leave, and I kept asking. Leo told me that the three bad kids were beating up one of his classmates on the way back from school because that classmate had spent the two dollars he had prepared to buy the road every day on candy.
"You shouldn't have given it to me."
"I know, but they will beat me. I can't beat them. They're hooligans. They're teenagers. They're big kids.”
"No wonder. Then tell the teacher."
"Teacher won't follow me around every day."
"Aren't the school and parents going to do anything?"
"There are too many students. The school can't control them. The parents are very busy and are afraid that their children will be hurt. They don't dare to care and only prepare money for us.”
"Fainted! You should go over and help your classmates."
"I don't dare. And he often bullies me."
"Those are two different things. If you can't beat him, you can ask for help.”
"I didn't dare to shout. They would beat me if they heard me. Besides, who would help? Everyone is afraid."
"Then we'll just watch like this?"
"I'll send him home later. No, I'll bring two more yuan tomorrow. I'll pay for him.”
"You should think of a way to stop them. Call the police."
"The police said that two yuan is not enough to commit a crime.”
"Then there's really no other way."
"It's not that there aren't any. There's a gang of even worse punks I can go to.”
"How can that do?"
"Yeah, that's more money."
"It's not about money. You should think of a way yourself."
"Don't think about it. They've already finished fighting. His eyes were blue and his nose was bleeding.”
"Hurry up and help her up."
"Wait until they're far away."
"Then what about tomorrow?"
"Don't let him buy candy tomorrow. The whole class was like this, preparing money. This is the usual practice."
"What tradition? This kind of hooligan should be taught a lesson. As long as it was taught a lesson, they would not dare to do it again.”
"Their memory isn't that good."
"Then teach them a lesson again.”
"What if we anger them? Mom said they'd beat us to death. I can't be the one to stand out."
"This is breeding crime."
"It's not a crime."
"It's a crime! Do you all want to be cowards?”
"Courage comes with a price, and cowardice comes with a small price, much smaller than bravery.”
"You've been like this since you were young. Who will uphold justice when you grow up?”
"That's why I have to earn a lot of money. Otherwise, it won't be enough.”
"Do you think this is right?"
"No, but so what?"
"If you feel that something is wrong, you should reason with them and tell them to uphold justice. Otherwise, there will be no meaning in living.”
"Will they listen to me?"
"Not only do you have to say it, but you also have to demonstrate it to them.”
"Let's talk about it when I grow up. I'm still young."
"You're such a coward now, you'll be even more hopeless when you grow up.”
"Even if you can't beat him, you still have to fight?"
"It's one thing to be able to win but not to be afraid. You have to make your attitude clear.”
"To whom?"
"To everyone, hooligans, classmates, teachers, schools, parents, police, and society.”
"I don't have this obligation. My obligation is to study hard.”
"The purpose of studying hard is to change society. Otherwise, what's the point of studying?。”
"The purpose of studying is to earn money. Changing society is the job of an official. I don't want to be an official."
"The purpose of making money is to live a better life. How can we live without justice?”
"I don't want to talk to you anymore. I'm going home. I have to go to school tomorrow.”
"Are we just going to keep giving money like this?”
"I'm going to transfer to a school that doesn't need money.”
"Escape!"
"People should strive for higher ground. The adults said so."
"Coward!"
"I'm not."
"What do you think you are?"
"I…"
"Leo, be strong and brave. You are a man!”
"I…"
"You have to win respect and trust. You have to protect others.”
"I…"
"They're just hooligans. You are dealing with them now to protect your classmates, and in the future, you will deal with your enemies and protect the people.”
"I…"
"Let them know that you're not afraid of them. No matter how many times you were knocked down, you had to stand up. Don't beg them. Tell everyone that I can't beat them, but I'm not afraid. I'll never give them a single cent!”
"I understand. What matters is attitude. No matter what the outcome is, I will not give in!”
Leo woke up from his coma and hid in the bushes far away.
I entered the evil spirit's past and repeated," He fell ill when he was young and stopped growing taller and became a dwarf. He felt inferior and was bullied by his brothers. He had superhuman abilities, agile and accurate, but he didn't know it. He had always liked to listen to the orders of others and follow the arrangements of fate. He had joined the King's Guards and was trusted for his bravery and loyalty. The robber killed the boss and was caught by the dwarves. The king had taken the liar's dream drug and lost his mind. He began to kill innocent people without trial. The king gave the order for execution, and the dwarves were in charge of executing the bandits. The dwarves did not want to execute the execution order because there was no trial, so they quietly let the bandits go. The king suspected that the dwarves were rebelling and forced the dwarves to capture the bandits again. The dwarves had no choice but to capture and kill the bandits. The dwarf committed suicide in pain because he had violated his own principles and killed the bandits.
King: Another tragic character.
Beauty: It's all because of you.
King: I was harmed by a swindler?
Liar: What does it have to do with me? Wasn't it all because of the beauty? If she didn't instigate me, how could I harm you?
Beauty: Why am I involved again?
Leo: Alright, stop arguing. Let's get down to business. Who knew where the key was?
Beauty: In the bandit's place, if the dwarf doesn't kill the bandit, he won't commit suicide.
King: If he doesn't kill the bandits, he will kill himself because he killed someone else.
[Swindler: The Dwarf let the bandits go and captured them again. If there is no second capture, won't it be fine?]
I said,"But the king forced him, saying that letting the bandits go was a rebellion, and that he would bear the reputation of a bad person and would be executed." He had no choice but to capture them again.
Cowboy: He shouldn't have let the robbers go in the first place. A real man would go all the way. Since he wanted to catch them again, why did he let them go in the first place?
Leo: If you don't let him go, you'll become a bad person in reality. If you don't catch him, you'll become a bad person in name. The real bad guys didn't have any pressure or consequences, but the nominal bad guys did.
Liar: He thought that he would not be discovered if he let the robbers go, but when he was discovered, he did not have the courage to withstand the pressure and consequences.
King: He is a person with low self-esteem, but also a kind and principled person. The tragedy was that he had principles, but he couldn't stick to them, and he couldn't bear the pain of violating them. If he had no principles at all, there wouldn't have been a tragedy.
I said,"Then wouldn't he become a numb and rotten bad person?" No matter what, we can't let the dwarves become bad people.
Leo: If you don't let him join the Guard, he won't have a chance to make a mistake.
I entered the dwarf's consciousness. The dwarf was filling out the guard application form.
"Don't join us. You'll regret it.”
"This is my dream. How can I regret it? Moreover, this was a rare opportunity. Just imagine how awe-inspiring it was to be in a police uniform! The safety of the citizens is on my shoulders, and my family will be proud of me!”
"Joining means obeying orders.”
"Obeying orders is the duty of the police.”
"If the order was wrong, would you still obey it?”
"It depends on the consequences.”
"What if I ask you to kill an innocent person?”
"I won't obey."
"If I don't kill you, I won't be able to live?"
"Then I won't either."
"If I don't kill you, I'll be convicted of being a bad person?”
"Then I won't either."
"What if you can't kill him?"
"I won't. Why are you making things difficult for me? I'm just an ordinary person. I just want to seize the opportunity to be a police officer. Couldn't the police do it? Then who would maintain law and order? Who will uphold justice?"
"But you will regret it because of today's decision.”
"Even if I regret it, it's my fate. It has nothing to do with you. Alright, don't be annoyed.”
I told everyone: It seems that I can't change him. He's too stubborn.
Beauty: The key lies in his character. He was a timid and self-abased good man.
Leo: Change him, make him strong and fearless.
Swindler: He is a dwarf. His physical defects make him a coward.
I said: There is no predestined fate, and there is no predestined personality. I want to change him. Mirror Demon?
"Yes, Your Highness!"
I said,"He stopped growing taller when he was thirteen. His brothers were all taller than him by a large margin. He felt a little inferior."……None of his brothers loved him very much. They were all very naughty and willful, and he was the only one who was obedient.
Leo, wait until you're thirteen and see what happens.
I said,"…There doesn't seem to be any clues if we continue searching like this."……He played with his brothers all day long, and nothing happened between them.……There was something strange about this place…That year, before autumn, his brothers had brought him to play, but after that, they had ignored him and often bullied him.……Look at what happened in autumn. Alright…They lived in their uncle's farm and were always mischievous. When the apples were ripe, they went to the neighbor's orchard to steal apples to eat.……This was very normal. Mirror Demon, flip over and see what's behind you."……Eh, strange. Nothing happened after that. Why did his brothers treat him badly? Let's go back to the orchard…Okay, okay, they went to the neighbor's house to steal apples.
The Dwarf did not go and advised them not to go either, saying that it was not good. They didn't listen and said that the dwarves were either timid or wanted to eat ready-made food. The dwarf was not very happy when he saw them enter quietly. He frowned and waited. They happily wrapped a few bags in their clothes and threw a few apples at him, then hid them in the cowshed.
The short man looked at the apple and couldn't help but eat one, but the more he ate, the more he felt that something was wrong. The neighbors did not notice that there were fewer apples. After all, there were too many apples, and it was difficult to notice if there were fewer.
Shorty ran to the cowshed and picked up the bags. He couldn't carry that much, so he carried two bags and was left with two bags. He quietly pushed open the door of the orchard, but there was no one inside. He placed the apple at the door of the wooden house and turned to leave. The door suddenly opened and the orchard owner asked him what was going on. He did not speak. He wanted to leave, but his master wouldn't let him.
The owner counted the apples and found that a fruit tree in the corner was only green. The master called his uncle and aunt over, and they also called over the dwarven brothers. Hence, they confronted each other. The dwarf did not dare to say a word. A clever brother pulled the dwarf aside and whispered, If you don't admit it, you've not only stolen the apple but also lied, and we'll never play with you again. When someone made a mistake, they had to be brave enough to admit and correct it. He winked at the dwarf. The dwarf thought for a long time and nodded to admit that he had stolen the apple. Uncle and Aunt apologized to their master. The owner said that the apples did not lose much, and even if they were lost, they were not worth much. However, the children could not be left undisciplined. If they were spoiled, it would be difficult to manage them in the future.
The dwarf was severely reprimanded by his uncle and aunt, and he hid in the house and cried. He thought about it and regretted taking the blame. He ran to the owner of the orchard and told him the truth. The master didn't care who stole it, as long as the adults knew.
The dwarf came out of the orchard and was seen by his brothers. They guessed his thoughts and ignored him from then on. They said he was a traitor who betrayed his brother, a coward, a hypocrite who had eaten an apple and pretended to be a good person.
The dwarves were very sad. It was useless to try to cater to them.
Leo: So he was like this back then? Why was he so unlucky to always encounter such a thing?
King: There are many people like him, and there are many such things. It's not strange.
Beauty: I still have to change his mind.
I understand. I entered the Dwarves 'past. The dwarf was regretting his actions. It was painful for his brothers to ignore him.
"You have to pay a price for doing good.”
"You make it sound so nice! None of them had learned their lesson, only me. I had lost too much. I became a thief, a lying child, a traitor, a coward, a hypocrite. Because of me, Aunt's family lost face.”
"You didn't do anything wrong in principle, but you did something wrong in the process. You shouldn't admit that you're a thief, and you shouldn't regret denying it. You shouldn't let them talk about you and let them control you.”
"You shouldn't do this and shouldn't do that. It's as if you're right about everything. Shouldn't I return the things I saw them steal? I've been wronged. Shouldn't I go and clear my name?”
"It should be. These few links can't be evaluated from the entire incident. You have to look at it as a whole.”
"I shouldn't have come to Uncle's house, and I shouldn't have played with them. If I didn't know that they were going to steal the apples or that they were going to steal the apples together, it would be fine.”
"You're wrong to think that way. If you didn't come here, didn't play with them, and hoped that you didn't know about this, it would be an escape. If you participated in stealing the apple, it would be sinking and giving up.”
"Can you say something practical and help me think of a way to salvage my relationship with my brothers?”
"I can't help you. You have to think of a way yourself. I can only give you suggestions.”
"Then give me a few suggestions."
" First of all, you have to establish your self-confidence. You have to be prepared to bear the worst consequences. Second, you have to be brave enough to follow your principles. Finally, you have to face everything calmly. To put it simply, he could not regret it.”
"How can I not regret it?"
"From the moment you took the first bite of the apple, you were already a thief. Don't regret eating that apple. As long as you know it's wrong to steal apples, you'll never steal again, or anything else.”
"And then?"
"If you send the apple back and are found out, don't regret it.”
"But my brothers won't let me go."
"But no one can deny the truth. As long as you sincerely reason with them, they can ignore you, but they won't say anything about you.”
"And then?"
"If you admit that you stole the apple, don't regret it and deny it. Not only would the master not believe it, but no one else would believe a person who went back on his word. Even a thief who stole apples would not be looked down upon. After all, it was a prank by children.”
"And then?"
"Then, after doing so many things you regret, you shouldn't regret it anymore.”
"What do you mean?"
"Let him be. It's not a big deal. If you couldn't get rid of the mindset of regret, the story would repeat itself forever.”
"Are you saying that I will always regret doing something and keep repeating it like this?”
"Yes, I am. The day you stop will be the last day of your life, and at the last moment of your life, you will regret your life.”
"Is it that serious?"
"I'm telling the truth."
"Then what's the meaning of my life? Can I change?"
"Yes. You ask yourself if you can persist in being a good person, if you can endure any pressure and be a good person consistently.”
"What pressure?"
" Power, death, friendship, kinship, reputation, fishing boat, law, morality…"
"I'm not sure."
"Then you will regret it sooner or later."
"I'm sure. It's true."
"If you're sure, are you willing to give up your dreams and face loneliness?”
"Is the price that high? Let me think about it. I'm afraid, but I'm sure that even so, I'll still be a good person.”
The dwarf ran to tell his uncle and aunt the truth, whether they believed it or not. Judging from their expressions, they knew that he wasn't the only one who stole it, but they didn't say much. They smiled at him and told him that it would be fine as long as he admitted his mistake, so that he did not have to take it to heart.
The dwarves found their brothers, who were in the cowshed, eating apples in big mouthfuls and throwing them away halfway. The dwarf said firmly, Brothers, I apologize for my fickleness.
The brothers laughed and ignored him.
The dwarf blushed and said, I apologize for my fickleness. But I will never apologize for my principles.
The brothers laughed even harder. What other principles did he have? Haha, how funny!
The dwarf ignored him and continued," I change because I love you. I'm afraid of being abandoned by you. But I'm not afraid of being abandoned by you because I'm honest.
Brothers: Thieves, lying children, traitors, cowards, hypocrites!
