But before the little boy took two steps, there was a sudden "pop" and his arm was hit by a small stone.
"Ouch!" the little boy cried out, turned his head and looked around, and asked angrily: "Who is beating me, come out!"
"Hey, it's me, Barry!" A chubby little boy appeared, holding a handful of stones in his hand. He looked at the little boy named Barry provocatively. There were a group of little followers behind him.
When Barry saw the chubby little boy, he was very angry: "Star, why are you hitting me again?"
"I do. If you have the ability, come and chase me! Ooo la la la!" The fat kid named Das tried his best to make a face, provoking the little boy, and a group of little followers followed suit.
The little boy Barry was so angry that he raised his leg to chase Das, but was caught by the little girl: "Barry, stop chasing. You have forgotten what your mother told you."
Barry reacted, glared at Das and said, "Huh, I won't chase you. My mother told me that you are not a good boy if you fight."
"Tch!" Das was disdainful and continued to provoke, "You listen to your mother now, then why don't you listen to your mother when you go to bed in the middle of the night?"
"Why didn't I listen?"
"Your mother doesn't let you wet the bed, why do you wet the bed!"
"I didn't!" Barry defended loudly.
"Nonsense, I've even seen the quilts drying in your yard. Bedwetting is bedwetting!" Das shouted, "It's not good to lie. Lying will set your butt on fire!"
"Lie and set your butt on fire!" the little followers behind Das shouted together.
Barry was angry, his eyes were red with anger because he couldn't defend himself.
At this time, the little girl suddenly shouted and pointed at Das: "What is that?"
"Huh?" All the children were stunned and looked towards where the little girl was pointing. They saw green smoke suddenly coming out of the buttocks of Das's pants, followed by a small cluster of flames. Richard looked on from the side, as if it had nothing to do with him.
Das, the person involved, panicked and kept turning around to look at the flames behind his butt, which were getting bigger and bigger.
All the children stared with wide eyes. Das was lying on the ground rolling around, unable to put out the flames. The other children already had the idea of escape. The little girl pulled the little boy Barry to avoid it.
But Barry suddenly said: "We have to help Das, otherwise he will be burned to death!" After speaking, he quickly ran to Das, took off his pants, took out his water gun and pointed it at He hit Das, and while spraying water, he shouted to the rolling Das: "Hey, don't move, I can't aim properly, you stay down!"
Das: "..."
The others were stunned. The little girl's face was as red as a red apple. She couldn't help covering her eyes and looked through the gaps between her fingers.
The little boy Barry continued to spray water, and the flames on Das's body began to become smaller, but they were not completely extinguished. Barry immediately shouted to a group of Das's followers: "Don't be stunned, come and help him!"
Das's followers suddenly woke up from a dream. They quickly gathered around him, generously unbuttoned their pants, and sprayed Das with their water guns.
The little boy Barry directed: "Don't spray randomly, have a plan. You two spray over there, you two over there, spray accurately, don't waste it..."
As he spoke, Barry turned his head and said to the little girl: "Lisa, come here too. You can also help Das. Let's do it together..."
"I don't want it, I don't want it. I'm different from you. My mother said I can't take off my pants in front of you boys." The little girl blushed and hid aside.
Barry had no choice but to turn around and focus on spraying water to save people.
In the end, all the water spray guns stopped watering one after another, completely extinguishing the flames.
Barry was the last to put on his pants, looked at Das lying in the mud, and said, "Hey, Das, you're okay, get up."
Das stood up slowly, his expression a bit broken.
"Dass, are you okay?" Barry asked very concernedly.
How could it be okay? !
First his body was on fire, and then he was saved in a special way. The blow to Das was indescribable. Das opened his mouth to complain, but as soon as the words came out, he turned into a cry.
"You... you are going too far, wuwuwu..." Das cried loudly and ran away. A group of followers were stunned at first, and then chased after him.
"Das Das, don't run away, what's wrong!"
The little boy Barry thought for a while, and pulled the little girl Lisa to chase him. While chasing, he said: "Dass, why are you crying? I am helping you, okay? I really am helping you. And, you Can you please stop throwing stones at me in the future? We can play together..."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Das's cry came out and became louder, a little heartbreaking.
Richard watched a group of children run away and smiled knowingly. In his opinion, this was much more interesting than the performance on the wooden stage.
Just as he was thinking this, a voice suddenly sounded from beside him, saying faintly: "They don't seem to have any worries, and they don't even have much malice in their fights. They are really a group of innocent and pure children. It's a pity that when they grow up, , that won’t be the case.”
"Huh?" Richard turned his head and saw the clown appearing next to him like a ghost. Even though he had super strong senses, he didn't realize how close the other party was.
This is worth thinking about.
Pursing his lips, Richard looked at the clown and said, "Mr. clown, maybe you should come earlier. They should all like your performance."
"Not necessarily. Many children are afraid of clowns. They think clowns are evil. It would be just right for me to show up now. Of course, the main reason is that my show is over and I saw you staying here, so I came over to take a look. I'm very envious to see such a group of children with real happiness," the clown said.
"Envy?" Richard asked, feeling that the clown was deliberately provoking a topic, so he simply followed the other person's words to see what the other person did.
"Yes, envy." The clown said, "As I said before, people change when they grow up, and it is difficult to find happiness like children."
"Don't you think so?" The clown looked at Richard with a mask on and asked aloud, "Don't you think that people often work hard and struggle, but they are not happy at all? In fact, many times, people don't know what they want at all. , many times, we will pursue the wrong things. In this case, it is better to be smarter and give up, in order to get a good result. What do you mean, passerby? "
At the end of the sentence, the clown's tone was very serious. Richard saw the white crow quickly passing and disappearing in the night behind the clown.
"What's this?" Richard suddenly laughed, looked at the clown and said, "Is this a warning from Mr. Clown to me? Or a reminder? Or a preaching, thinking that some of the things I did were wrong, and I meant them well. Persuade me to stop?"
"No, no, no!" The clown waved his hand quickly, "Don't get me wrong. I told you that because I spend too much time playing the clown, I always speak in weird ways, which can easily lead to misunderstandings. In fact, I have no relationship with you. No malicious intent, I just want to briefly discuss this issue with you."
"Discuss questions?"
"right."
"This is a very typical philosophical question." Richard said, "Are you sure you really want to discuss it?"
"You seem to know it very well, why don't you tell me."
"Sure?"
"Sure."
"Okay then." Looking at the clown, Richard spoke slowly, "I don't have much idea about this issue myself, but there is a man named Diogenes who must agree with your point of view."
"Diogenes?" The clown obviously didn't hear this name and was slightly confused.
"Yes, Diogenes." Richard nodded, "This man is a disciple of Antisenes, and Antisenes is the founder of the 'Cynic Philosophy School'."
