The opening line of the Three-Character Sutra that I recited when I was a child is: In the beginning, human nature is inherently good.
But everything that happened in the picture at this time explained to a certain extent: in the beginning, human nature is inherently evil.
When naughty children are young, there is no distinction between good and evil. They just think it would be fun to play with something. When they grow up and understand certain principles from books or life, they will form a mature distinction between good and evil.
The scene continues.
It didn't end because of Gu Yuan's inner emotion.
A child wearing white short-sleeves appeared in the picture. His body was so thin, but his eyes were firm and angry.
He rushed forward, pushed away Zhao Miao who was holding a lighter, and held the red bird on the ground tightly in his arms, pulling the stones on his feet.
"Zhao Sanshui! Xu Can! You are the bad guys!" a young voice yelled.
It's Gu Xiaolei.
Gu Yuan turned around and looked at Gu Xiaolei behind him.
As for Gu Xiaolei, his expression was still a little dazed, and he seemed to have forgotten the incident.
Xu Can suddenly flew forward and kicked Gu Xiaolei to the ground.
Gu Xiaolei was lying on the ground, but he supported his body and held the dying Hongque tightly in his arms with one hand.
"Gu Xiaolei, you ask for a beating!" The fleshy Zhao Miao rushed up, sat on Gu Xiaolei's body, and hit him on the head with her fist.
But even so, Gu Xiaolei did not raise his arms to protect his head, but stuffed the red sparrow into his clothes.
"If you hit me, I'll tell my brother! My brother will beat you to death!" Gu Xiaolei yelled.
Hearing this, Zhao Miao, who was riding on Gu Xiaolei, seemed to be intimidated. He looked at Xu Can, who also flinched a little. Maybe Gu Yuan, who was a few years older than them, could cause "destruction" to them. s damage,
"You...you are nosy, why should you let Gu Yuan hit me?" Although Zhao Miao was tough, she still stood up quickly and took a few steps away.
"If you hit me, my brother will smash your heads in!" Gu Xiaolei could still say viciously even though his head was full of bruises.
"Let's go, let's go quickly..."
"I won't play with you anymore! You know how to let your older brother bully the younger ones!"
Gu Xiaolei slowly got up, patted the dust on his clothes, looked at the red bird with half-open eyes, and cried out in distress.
"Little bird, don't die..."
He held the cardinal and walked out of the community, all the way to the park, and slowly placed it on the grass.
For Gu Xiaolei at this age, it seems that this is all he can do.
After waiting for a while, the red bird flapped its wings slightly. Gu Xiaolei was overjoyed. He looked around, then picked up the red bird and sent it farther. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and took small steps home.
Gu Yuan gently touched Gu Xiaolei's back and suddenly felt proud to have such a younger brother.
Although the second uncle and second aunt were busy on weekdays, they never failed to educate their children. This gave Gu Xiaolei a kind heart and always treated the world with gentleness.
At this moment, the crimson scene in front of him was like a lake surface rippled by the breeze, rippled with light patterns, and then slowly dissipated.
The red mist that shrouded them slowly dissipated, so at the same time, they heard the sound of the cardinal.
"Xiao Lei, thank you...I'm very happy to meet you."
The voice became weaker and weaker.
"Red Bird, Red Bird..." Gu Xiaolei burst into tears.
He just took two steps forward when he was hit by a red ball of light. Gu Yuan rushed forward. Gu Xiaolei leaned back, fell into his arms and fainted.
"You...what did you do?" Gu Yuan was not angry, but simply curious.
He knows better than anyone else.
It was impossible for Hongque to hurt Gu Xiaolei.
"The last thing I can do for him is to clear his memory of me." Cardinal's voice became weaker and weaker.
"You... Ge Fei said, she just takes you back, she may not kill you... By the way! The Buddha-Jiang Pagoda!" Gu Yuan seemed to have grasped something and said excitedly, "You can go to the Buddha-Jiang Pagoda to receive the Buddha's light. Baptism, you won’t die!”
Only this time, Gu Yuan didn't get any response.
Until the red fog completely dissipated, there was a bird's body on the ground, motionless.
He dragged Gu Xiaolei and rushed forward, his lips trembling slightly, which was a bit difficult to accept.
He turned his face and looked at Ge Fei. The bow in Ge Fei's hand had disappeared.
"It's useless. When she developed empathy, she already chose death."
"Why...why?"
"She is just a D-class shape-shifting demon. The field of empathy can only be mastered by C-class soul demons. To use empathy is to overdraw one's own origin." Ge Fei's tone finally stopped being calm.
Gu Yuan understood.
This is the cardinal's own death.
Even if she still has a glimmer of hope.
"Why are you doing this..." Gu Yuan lowered his head.
Ge Fei stood behind Gu Yuan.
She couldn't answer this question.
But Gu Yuan figured it out himself.
"In Xiao Lei's heart, Hong Que is just an innocent girl and his good friend, but Hong Que killed Zhao Miao and Xu Can. Even if she dies, she must let Xiao Lei know that she did it for a reason. The reason is that she needs Xiao Lei to see with his own eyes what Zhao Miao and Xu Can did."
Ge Fei frowned.
"But, she has eliminated Gu Xiaolei's memory of her."
"It's not important." Gu Yuan shook his head and turned to look at her, "For Hongque, it is enough to be able to express her feelings in the end, to make Xiaolei forgive her, and to be able to think of that dusty memory. , if you forget, it will happen in the future.”
Ge Fei still shook his head.
"I don't understand."
"Of course." Gu Yuan carried Gu Xiaolei on his back, "because she is as pure as Xiaolei."
Ge Fei did not speak, but was lost in thought. Immediately, she reached out her hand, picked up the corpse of the red bird, and followed.
Gu Yuan carried Gu Xiaolei on his back and walked in front.
The pace is slow.
"I will find a place to bury Cardinal's body," Ge Fei said.
"Um."
"Do I need to tell you my location?"
"No need." Gu Yuan shook his head, "This is their story and has nothing to do with you and me."
Ge Fei stopped talking.
Gu Yuan suddenly spoke.
"Is Cardinal wrong?"
Ge Fei was silent for a moment and said: "A naughty kid strangled a bird to death. Does this naughty kid deserve to die?"
Gu Yuan was silent.
"What's more, she is a demon." Ge Fei continued, "The Human Race Demon Suppression Division only protects the human race."
"But Cardinal doesn't deserve to die!" Gu Yuan suddenly stopped and looked at Ge Fei.
"Don't let empathy affect your emotions." Ge Fei said slowly, "Your mood has changed. If it were you who were responsible for handling this matter, what would you do? Help Cardinal kill them? Or just let it go? ?”
Gu Yuan shook his head.
He has no answer.
At the very least, there are no answers right now.
In the long course of his life, Gu Yuan believed that one day he would be able to think of a way that was infinitely close to the right approach and an answer that was infinitely close to accurate.
In the past, when I saw "I'm sorry for being born human", I just thought it was an Internet buzzword.
Now, Gu Yuan felt that these words were very serious.
When they arrived at the gate of the community, Ge Fei did not go in, but looked at Gu Yuan.
"Come to Hong Romance tomorrow."
Gu Yuan looked at her with confusion in his eyes.
Ge Fei held the red bird's body.
"Sacrifice the demon soul."
