In fact, before Ye Feng and Lan Lan teleported back to Kyoto, Lan Lan asked Ye Feng a question.
"Hey. Old immortal, why do you think being ordinary is happiness? Those days are as calm as a pool of stagnant water. Would a strong man like you really think that is happiness?"
Hearing this, Ye Feng's steps stagnated and he remained silent. After a long time, he slowly and carefully took out a piece of paper from the storage ring. It seemed to be a piece of composition paper. Ye Feng sealed it in plastic and preserved it. He seemed to take it very seriously.
Ye Feng handed it to Lan Lan and said, "Take a look, be careful, this is my treasure."
"Baby?" Lan Lan said disdainfully, because Lan Lan knew that it was just a very ordinary piece of paper and not an innate treasure. After taking it, Lan Lan saw that it was really a composition. The title of the composition was "Tears". The handwriting was crooked, and it seemed that it was written by a child. The content of the composition is as follows:
Dad died four years ago,
My father loved me the most when he was alive. My mother tries to make delicious food for me every day. Maybe my mother misses him too.
Later, my mother also became ill. Go to town, go to Xichang, the money is gone, and the disease is not cured.
That day, my mother collapsed. Seeing how uncomfortable she was, I cried. I said to my mother: "Mom, you will definitely get better. I support you. Just eat the food I cooked and go to sleep."
The next morning, my mother couldn't get up and looked ugly. I hurriedly called my uncle who had just returned from work to take my mother to the town.
On the morning of the third day, I went to the hospital to see my mother, but she was still awake. I gently washed her hands and she woke up.
Mom held my hand and said, "Mom wants to go home."
I asked: "Why?"
"I'm not comfortable here, but I'm more comfortable at home."
I took my mother home, sat there for a while, and then went to cook for her. After the meal was ready, I went to call my mother. My mother was already dead.
The textbook says that there is a place called Sun Moon Lake, where the tears left by a daughter missing her mother are
. . .
The content of the composition ends here. After reading all this, Lan Lan couldn't help but shed tears for some reason. She didn't understand this herself, because the article was obviously not contagious at all. But soon she wiped her tears and said hurriedly: "Old immortal, where is that little girl later?"
Ye Feng said in a serious tone: "This little girl is only 12 years old this year. Apart from herself, her parents are gone, but there are two younger brothers in the family who need to be taken care of. The three siblings are currently living very well in the Kyoto orphanage. Otherwise Do you think why I went to the Kyoto orphanage a few days ago was just to atone for my sins?"
"The Institute of Mortal Immortal Culture has a special department that was specially set up by me and is directly managed by me. This department is responsible for supporting poor families like the little girl. Of course, this requires a lot of money, and this money I’m the only one who can figure it out myself.”
"Don't those top chaebols in the world always look for opportunities to make me remember them? I do remember them. Not only that, I also miss their money, the money to support poor families. I get it from those chaebols If you come here, if you say it sounds nice, you will call me a joke, if you say it doesn’t sound nice, it will be a lie."
Ye Feng paused for a moment, looked at Lan Lan and said: "Don't you always want to ask me, is it right for a big liar like me to lie? Let me tell you, after all, I still feel that the wrong element in lies is more important. But what? If I just lie, I can save more lives and allow more poor children to live a good and ordinary life. No matter how many times, I will choose lies."
"Besides, I didn't actually deceive those chaebols. They didn't have the courage or qualifications to negotiate terms with me. What they asked for was that I could remember them. I naturally admire those chaebols who really want to help poor children. Yes, I naturally remember them. When I encounter some projects that must be handed over to chaebols, I will naturally think of these chaebols with a sense of social responsibility and love. Of course, I will also remember those chaebols who work in secret and covertly. I will take money from them. From the perspective of asking me to remember their names, I did remember them all, so I don’t think I lied to them, this is just a transaction.”
"Miss Lan Lan, do you know that the calm and ordinary life you talk about is like a pool of stagnant water, but for those poor families, it is a huge hope of happiness. Don't you think so?"
Lan Lan said: "Because they are all weak, but you are different, you are the strong one."
Hearing this, Ye Feng smiled bitterly and said: "Me? Strong? You praise me too much. Maybe I can kill all the powerful enemies and bandits in the world, but I can't kill all the suffering in the world. What do you think of my strength? , in fact, it is just such a weak and insignificant thing. I am just an ordinary person, a weak person, so I always want to become stronger. Although I know that becoming stronger is not the solution to all the suffering in the world, but When I find that way, I hope I have the strength to do it, no matter what the cost."
"Although I am familiar with Confucianism, I am not a saint like 'worry before the world's worries, and rejoice after the world's happiness'. I am not qualified to be a saint. I am not even qualified to be a good person or an ordinary person." . My ability is not as strong as you think. I just take care of and protect the people around me, and I have to do my best to be unable to do it. But within the scope of what I know and what I can do, I am also I will help those poor families and the weak. As for those who need help in places I don’t know about, I leave this task to the mortal civilization that will surely grow into a giant. After all, for the weak who need help Overall, my power alone is really too small. So I need everyone’s help, even everyone’s help.”
"But even with the mortal civilization, there is still one thing I have been doing, which is to continuously expand the limits of my knowledge, so that I can know more people and things. I also continue to practice and become stronger, and improve myself to the best of my abilities. The upper limit. After all, there is no strongest person in this world, there are only those who keep getting stronger for their purpose."
"Of course, you can also understand that I am just atonement. After all, I am also the culprit of many orphans who are homeless due to genocide. From this perspective, I am also one of the sources of trouble that creates suffering in the world. , and no matter how much I do, I can't change this fact."
"That's why I said that I am not qualified to be a good person or even an ordinary person. I am only qualified to be a heinous bad person, let alone a saint."
At the end of the sentence, Ye Feng calmly said to Lan Lan: "I don't know, Miss Lan Lan, do you understand that being ordinary is happiness? After all, that is the happiness that I can't get."
At this moment, Lan Lan's face turned red for some reason, and she said angrily: "Bah, I can't defeat you!"
