Lin Jie was very satisfied with his thought-provoking opening.
The best time of the day was in the morning.
Just like how the beginning of an essay often required an example or a famous quote to draw out one's point of view.
On such a beautiful morning with customers, a classic and cautionary fable could not be better to kick off the day's business.
That's right, he said it on purpose for Old Wang to hear.
An old man like Old Wang, who had an empty nest, should be vigilant and careful in his daily life.
Today, Old Wang came over before he even opened the door.
He set an alarm at 6: 30 every day and woke up at 7: 00 to open the door. Now, there were still ten minutes before he left the door. The sky outside was no different from the night. It was pitch black.
Old Wang's place was quite far from here. Judging from the information revealed in past conversations, it would take about an hour to get there.
Now, the sky was dark, and there were so many puddles, slippery roads, lightning, and strong winds.
In such bad weather, Old Wang came all the way here early in the morning. If an accident happened on the way, no one would know and he would quietly disappear in the heavy rain. The first website was m.9biquge. com
Lin Jie wasn't worrying for nothing.
Previously, the TV reported that the alley wall collapsed. It wasn't very far from here. It was clear that it was very dangerous outside.
An old man, who was also a weak disabled person, running around outside. It sounded more Chinese. Wasn't it like using a lantern in the latrine?
Alas, it really made people worry.
Wang Erde felt as if a bolt of lightning had flashed through his heart.
His hand holding the cup trembled slightly. After he forcibly restrained himself, he said, "The farmer didn't do anything wrong. He just did it out of kindness. The snake didn't do anything wrong either. It just followed its instincts."
Lin Jie walked behind the counter and sat down. He said, "Not a bad idea. Rational, neutral, and objective. In the end, all of this is just a tragedy caused by coincidence. It doesn't seem to be worth arguing about."
"But this story isn't a fair one. The farmer gave his so-called kindness, but in the end, he died. What do you think he thought before he died?"
Wang Erde was silent for a moment, then muttered, "He probably regretted it."
Lin Jie smiled and said, "Be more confident. Get rid of 'might'. This is a human-centered story. We need to think about it from a human perspective. "
"Put yourself in the farmer's shoes. What would you think if you were him?"
"The farmer's greatest regret must be that he didn't see through the snake's nature earlier. Why did he have unnecessary blind kindness?"
"There are many bad people in this world, but not all of them have the same face. Some of them can disguise themselves, and they can also be used by others. They can pretend to be harmless or even very pitiful. They can use your feelings to do bad things, either to you or to others."
"Don't believe it so easily, don't deceive yourself and others, and don't be soft-hearted."
"He doesn't have a heart, so how could he be moved by your enthusiasm? His smile towards you is only because he is happy that you have let down your guard."
His words were so loud that even the apathetic could hear them.
Looking at the bookstore owner behind the counter, his eyes were filled with warning.
Wang Erde's expression became more and more complicated, more and more dignified, and more and more ashamed. When he heard the words "he doesn't have a heart," his pupils shrank, and his clenched fists loosened. A self-mocking smile appeared on his face under the mask.
Heh, can a person still live without a heart?
No!
So Mr. Lin, in the end … no, as expected, he knew.
"Do you understand what I want to say? Old Wang. "
Lin Jie crossed his hands, his eyes deep.
Wang Erde took a deep breath, nodded and said, "I understand."
But he still …
Lin Jie said with relief, "It's good that you understand."
He reached out and made another cup of tea for Wang Erde.
Lin Jie looked at Wang Erde's expression again. That kind of listless, helpless, and gloomy expression from before, and the sudden abnormality today.
Lin Jie's heart skipped a beat.
Old Wang ran out of his house early in the morning and came to his shabby bookstore, but it seemed like he didn't have any desire to borrow or buy books.
On the contrary, when he talked to Lin Jie, his expression seemed to be relieved of a heavy burden and was very relaxed.
In other words, his intention might have been to have a heart-to-heart talk with Lin Jie.
Teacher Lin, who often solved psychological problems for people, frowned. He felt that things weren't that simple.
First of all, Old Wang had just returned the book and thanked him with the Dream Catcher not long ago.
Therefore, it couldn't be an academic problem, but … a problem in life.
A lonely old man who lived alone all year round would definitely have a lot of problems in life, but after living alone for so long, he was more accustomed to this kind of environment. Therefore, the trivial things in life wouldn't be difficult for him.
Then, there was another big problem that troubled all lonely old men.
Relatives.
According to what Lin Jie knew, Old Wang didn't have any other relatives. He only had two adopted children who didn't treat him well.
One of them went out to work and didn't come back for several years.
The other was even more shameless. After finding his biological parents, he turned his back on them. Every time Old Wang mentioned him, he felt very uncomfortable.
Lin Jie felt that it was basically impossible for the second person to come back.
Even if he came back, Old Wang wouldn't have such a reaction. His face would probably be black, and he wouldn't be able to tell a story like this.
Then, it could only be the first person.
"Sigh, I also wanted to say something about Charles …"
Lin Jie suddenly probed.
Wang Erde sighed deeply. "Yes, you know, he's back."
Lin Jie nodded in understanding. If that was the case, he was very familiar with the situation.
Many TV shows that focused on solving neighborhood disputes would discuss a problem, and that was the property of lonely old men being divided.
Often, the old men who had lived alone for many years suddenly fell ill, and then a bunch of strange relatives came over.
In addition, they had worked outside for many years without success, and suddenly came back for money.
"Although this may make you sad, I have to warn you."
Lin Jie said, "Did he suddenly come back? Did he say that he had been working hard for so many years, that he missed you, that he actually loved you very much, and that he was very good to you and made you feel very warm? In fact, he approached you and wanted you to make a promise. "
That's right, "Charles" wanted him to teach him the rest of the spells.
As a Dark Warlock who was known for being cruel and tyrannical, when faced with the bloody truth, Wang Erde suddenly felt very depressed. Before he became a Dark Warlock, he was first and foremost a human.
"What you want is the family member who has beautiful memories in your heart. But now, the one who came back, is it really him?" Lin Jie's gaze was deep, and his tone was solemn. "Although it's a bit cruel to say this, as I said … Do you want to be that farmer? Do you want to give your feelings to an emotionless poisonous snake? "
Wang Erde was silent for a while, and then sighed faintly. "I just want to accompany him … I'd rather lie to myself, but some dreams still have to wake up. He's no longer my Charles."
He raised his head. "Thank you, this is the second time you've given me important guidance! I know what to do … "
