Chuanshu Shizun is a big villain

Chapter 19 Are good people not good enough?

A woman in plain clothes tapped Ci Jiu's little head, eyes full of doting, "Ci Jiu, what nonsense are you talking to Mr. Shi!"

"No, no." Ci Jiu scratched his head, smiled embarrassingly, and said, "I didn't say anything."

The woman touched Ci Jiu's little head and warned, "Mr. Shi is a talented person, don't talk to him about nonsense."

"Oh..." Ci Jiu replied nonchalantly, "Got it..."

"Okay, mother, is the food ready? I'll serve it out now..."

While speaking, Ci Jiu rushed towards the stove, at an extremely fast speed, and disappeared in a flash.

Looking at the back of the old man leaving, the woman shook her head.

These days, she didn't sleep well, for fear that someone would break into her door. In fact, the outside world was indeed like this. Many people outside had their doors broken into. She should be able to imagine what happened after that with a little brain.

When Shiran came, the woman was very happy.

Knowing that the raid would be over in seven days, she was even more delighted. As long as Shi Ran stayed at their house for seven days, then...

She felt that her daughter was really smart.

I've been sleeping better these days.

With such a Mr. Shi around, how could she feel at ease? As for saying that she likes Mr. Shi, there shouldn't be any smart woman who can refuse such a Mr. Shi.

Sensing the sound of footsteps coming from behind, the woman came back to her senses, she turned her head to look at Shi Ran, gave a blessing, and smiled gently, "Mr. Shi, I made you laugh."

Shi Ran clapped his hands back and saluted, and said with a gentle smile, "Madam Ci, I'm not a gentleman, I'm just a warrior, you can just call me Shi Ran."

Women here will take their husband's surname when they get married, so Shi Ran asked her to resign from his wife.

Mrs. Ci shook her head slightly, "Mr. Shi can say that, but I can't call him that. If I do, it means I don't know etiquette."

Shi Ran was helpless, shook his head, and didn't want to get entangled in this matter, "Then do whatever you want."

When Mrs. Ci saw that Shi Ran wanted to enter the kitchen to serve food, she quickly stopped her and said, "Mr. Shi, you can just sit down, and let me do the things inside."

Shi Ran opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything after all.

In this way, the woman is relieved.

The uneasy things came to Shi Ran's side.

Today is stewed bacon with fresh fish and bamboo shoots.

Whether it sounds or looks, it is a bit like dark cooking.

However, it was delicious to eat.

Shi Ran ate two big bowls of rice.

Bijiu looked at Shiran who put down the bowl and chopsticks, with a look of admiration on his face, "Big brother is so amazing, eating so much..."

"Clap!"

"Ouch, it hurts!"

Before Bijiu finished speaking, the woman who withdrew her hand said in a strict voice, "Don't talk to Mr. Shi like this..."

Ci Jiu touched his head, muttered, and whispered, "I'm telling the truth..."

Feeling his mother's gaze, Ci Jiu quickly raised his hand to cover his mouth, and at the same time shook his head quickly, indicating that he would not say any more.

After the meal, the woman went into the room to search for something after washing.

After a long time, the woman took a piece of parchment and handed it to Shi Ran, "Mr. Shi, I have a map of the surrounding terrain here, which should be useful to you, sir."

Shi Ran looked at the geomancy map, then at the woman, hesitated for a while, and finally got up, bowed slightly, "Thank you for saying goodbye, madam."

Mrs. Ci hurriedly got up to return the salute, and said, "Mr. Shi can't be so polite to me. This map is left with me. It's just a display that eats ashes. It should be used to the fullest."

Shi Ran took the map, "That would be disrespectful."

Even if Mrs. Ci doesn't show this map, Shi Ran will try her best to protect the two of them, after all, it's a matter of little effort.

Of course, if there is a big accident, Shi Ran will most likely choose to be wise and safe.

Now, Mrs. Ci saw that she needed a geomancy map when she was not in danger, and directly gave herself a geomancy map. Then afterwards, if she was really in danger, she would be more powerful.

The kindness given by others must be repaid, the kind that is multiplied, Shi Ran doesn't like to owe favors, and the more important the kindness is, the more he must repay it.

Some kindness, even if you lose your life to repay it, you will not hesitate.

The fact that the other party can see that he needs a map is enough to prove that the life experience of this mother and daughter is not simple.

At night, when he returned to the tent, Shi Ran saw Wen Haoran sitting by the campfire without saying a word, his eyes glazed over.

Shi Ran didn't ask what was going on, but just sat by the campfire and accompanied him.

During this period, several people came to provoke him, but Wen Haoran ignored them.

Seeing Wen Haoran, those people didn't speak, and left cursing.

After a long time, Wen Haoran's eyes were cloudy and absent minded, and he said slowly, "She's dead."

Shi Ran frowned slightly, glanced at Wen Haoran, but didn't say anything to comfort her, she could probably guess who she was referring to.

Both eyes were still cloudy and out of focus, Wen Haoran said to himself, "She obviously did nothing wrong, why did she die, she should live in a carefree life..."

Shi Ran quietly listened to Wen Haoran's babble.

Two lines of tears flowed out of his eyes again, Wen Haoran turned his head to look at Shi Ran, and asked very seriously, "Shi Ran, tell me, why don't good people get rewarded? Is it because I am not good enough, or is this world That's it, good people don't live long..."

Looking at the distraught Wen Haoran, Shi Ran thought for a while and said, "Why don't good people repay you well? I can't give you a definite answer, but one thing is for sure. Kind people do good deeds are always good and worthwhile." Regarding the matter of praise, I think we should not demand a good person, saying that he is good is not enough, nor should we demand a good person, saying that he is not good enough, whether it is for others or for ourselves."

"I think Wen Haoran is very good now."

"As for what this world is like, I still can't give my own answer. The road I have traveled is too short, the people I have seen are too few, and the things I have encountered are not many. I think..."

"I think I need time to gain a little understanding."

Wen Haoran was silent.

After another long time, Wen Haoran spoke again, "Shi Ran."

"Ok?"

"you say……"

"If one day I become like them, those soldiers, and go to grab money from the people in the city, you will, will you...will you look down on me?"

After a moment of silence, Shi Ran still shook his head, "I don't know."

A look of disappointment flashed across Wen Haoran's face, and he murmured softly, "Okay."

Shi Ran hesitated for a while, and then said, "Most likely, I will only look at it with a normal heart. I can't talk about likes and dislikes, and I can't talk about looking down on it. I can't say good or bad, right or wrong without going through other people's lives. It's too one-sided to say... good or bad, right or wrong."

"Who can say who is an absolute good person or an absolute bad person? The same is true for right and wrong." The voice paused, and Shi Ran continued, "If you really get to that point, I hope you can remember that little bit of the past You are full of vigor and grandeur."
