Lin Jie was very satisfied with his thought-provoking opening remarks.
The plan of the day is in the morning.
Just as the beginning of an essay often requires an example or a famous quote to draw out your point of view.
On such a beautiful morning when there are guests in the early morning, it is really good to have a classic and cautionary fable as the start of today's business.
That's right, he said it to Pharaoh on purpose.
An empty-nest old man like Lao Wang should be more vigilant and careful in his daily life.
Today, before he opened the door, Pharaoh came over.
He sets the alarm clock at 6:30 every day, and opens the door at 7:00. Now it is still ten minutes before he leaves the door. The sky outside is no different from the big night.
The place where Lao Wang lives is quite far from here. Judging from the information revealed in past conversations, it will take about an hour to travel.
Now this dim sky, plus so much water, slippery roads, lightning and strong winds.
In such a bad weather, Pharaoh came so far alone in the morning. If there was an accident on the road, he might disappear into the heavy rain without anyone knowing.
This is not that Lin Jie is unfounded.
The alley wall collapsed accident was reported on TV before, and it was not too far from here, so it was really dangerous outside.
An old man of this age, or a frail handicapped man, running around outside is more Chinese-speaking. Isn't this a lantern in a thatched hut
Oh, it's really worrying.
At this moment, Wilde felt like a thunderbolt flashed in his heart.
His hand holding the water cup trembled slightly, and after forcibly restraining it, he said: "The farmer is not wrong, he just did it out of his own good intentions, and the snake is not wrong, it just follows its own instinct."
Lin Jie went to sit behind the counter and said, "It's a good idea, rational, neutral and objective. After all, this is really just a tragedy caused by a coincidence, and there seems to be nothing worth arguing about."
"But this story is not a fair story. The farmer gave his so-called kindness, but he died in the end. What do you think he would think before he died?"
Wilde was silent for a while, and murmured, "I should regret it."
Lin Jie smiled and said, "Be confident and remove what should be. This is a people-oriented story that needs to be considered from a human perspective."
"Think about it from your perspective. If you were this farmer, what would you think?"
"The farmer's biggest regret must be why he didn't see through the nature of this snake earlier, and why he has that superfluous blind kindness."
"There are many bad people in this world, but not all bad people have a face. Some people will pretend to be, and they may be used by others. They look harmless to humans and animals and even very pitiful. They use your feelings. Do something bad, it may be for you or it may be for someone else."
"Don't believe it easily, don't deceive yourself, and don't be soft-hearted."
"He has no heart, so how can he be moved by your enthusiasm? His smile at you is only happy because you let down your guard."
The words of each sentence were deafening, as if they were loud.
Looking at the bookstore owner behind the counter full of warning eyes.
Wilde's expression became more and more complicated, more and more solemn, more and more ashamed, until the sentence "he has no heart", his pupils shrank, his clenched fists loosened, and the face under the mask showed A self-deprecating smile.
Oh, can people live without a heart
cannot!
It turned out that Mr. Lin, after all... No, he still knew.
"What I want to say, do you understand? Old Wang."
Lin Jie folded his hands and his eyes were deep.
Wilde took a deep breath, nodded and said, "Got it."
But he still...
Lin Jie said with relief: "It's good to understand."
He reached out and made another cup of tea for Wilde.
Lin Jie looked at Wilde's expression again, the look that has been haunted and helpless since just now, and the sudden abnormality today.
My heart suddenly moved.
Pharaoh ran out of the house in the morning regardless of the danger, and came to his broken bookstore, but at present it seems that he has no desire to borrow or buy books.
On the contrary, when he was talking to him just now, his expression was more relieved and very relaxed.
In other words, the intention may have been to have a heart-to-heart with him.
Teacher Lin, who has always solved psychological problems for people, frowned, feeling that things are not simple.
First of all, because Pharaoh returned the book not long ago, and thanked him with a dream catcher.
So it can't be academic trouble, but... life trouble.
A lonely old man who lives alone all the year round must have a lot of troubles in life, but living alone for so long makes him more adaptable to this environment, so the trivial things in ordinary life must not be difficult for him.
Then there is another big problem that plagues all lonely old people.
relative.
As far as Lin Jie knew, Lao Wang had no other relatives, only two children who treated him very badly, both of whom were adopted.
A person who went out to work has not heard from him and has not returned for several years.
The other is even more shameless. After finding his biological parents, he turned his face and refused to recognize them, which made Lao Wang feel very uncomfortable every time he mentioned it.
Lin Jie felt that the second situation was basically impossible to come back to.
When he came back, Pharaoh couldn't have reacted like this. It was estimated that he would have a black face, so there was no room for storytelling.
It could only be the first.
"Well, I wanted to say more about Charles..."
Lin Jie suddenly asked tentatively.
Wilde sighed: "Yes, you know, he's back."
Lin Jie nodded knowingly, in this case, he was very familiar with the situation.
Many TV programs that rely on solving neighbor disputes as a gimmick will discuss one issue, that is, the property of the lonely and widowed elderly is divided up.
Often, the elderly who have lived alone for many years suddenly cannot afford to be sick, and then a bunch of strange relatives come over.
Coupled with the attributes of being unlucky after working outside for many years, he suddenly came back, mostly for money.
"While it may make you sad to say that, I have to wake you up."
Lin Jie said: "Did he come back suddenly, did he treat you well and make you feel very warm while saying that he has worked hard for so many years, that he misses you very much, that he actually loves you very much, etc.? Approaching you, secretly wanting you to make some promises."
That's right, "Charles" wants him to teach him the rest of the spell.
As a dark wizard with a reputation for cruelty and tyranny, when he really faced the bloody truth, Wilde suddenly felt very depressed in his heart. Before he became a dark wizard, he was first of all a person.
"What you want is that relative who has good memories in your heart, but is it really him who is back now?" Lin Jie's eyes were deep and his tone was solemn: "Although it's a bit cruel to say that, it's just like what I said just now. The... Do you want to be that farmer? Are you going to give your feelings to a poisonous snake without feelings?"
Wilde was silent for a while, then sighed faintly: "I just want to spend more time with him... I would rather deceive myself, but there are some dreams, and I still have to wake up. He is no longer my Charles."
He looked up: "Thank you, this is the second time you have given me important guidance! I know what to do..."
