It's winter.

In the countryside and woods, I suddenly heard footsteps approaching slowly, stepping on the snow and frost.

Nowadays, the civil strife in Yu has not ended, war is raging, and most of the roads passing by are desolate and dead.

As if looking at the scenery on the roadside, the pace is a bit slow, but although the pace is slow, it does not necessarily mean that people come slowly. On the contrary, it is very fast. Taking one step looks soothing, but it is like the wind passing by, floating.

And far.

"It's strange, it's strange, the lotus blooms in winter, so strange!"

The person who came had a forlorn look, a cold demeanor, a cold and sharp look between his brows, and a restrained look in his eyes. He was looking at a small lotus pond along the way in surprise.

He was just passing by by chance, but by chance, he witnessed such a strange scene.

Sure enough, there were blossoming lotus flowers swaying in the cold wind in the pond. They were blooming so brightly, red and flawless, which made people marvel.

"Could this strange phenomenon be related to the sudden change a few days ago?"

Just at this time, an old farmer walked by the road. The man immediately asked: "Excuse me, do you know why this lotus blooms in winter?"

When the sixty-year-old farmer heard this, he laughed: "Oh, I don't really understand this, but I heard that it was because of a child in the village. When the child was born, all the lotus flowers in a radius of more than ten miles bloomed.

, it’s very strange, and the child’s face is different, and the fortune teller said that this child will become a great person in the future, and his future will be limitless!”

The visitor was even more surprised when he heard this, thinking that he had visited the nine realms and had seen and heard so much that no one in the world could compare with him, but the strange things before him still made him feel fresh.

You must know that there are many strange things in the world, and even many rare treasures will produce strange phenomena when they are born to reflect their extraordinary qualities. Could this be the case with this child?

With his thoughts in mind, he looked at the sky. The man thanked the old farmer and asked where the child was. Then he walked for another cup of tea until he reached the depths of the countryside. He raised his eyes and saw

I saw a courtyard not far away, and I saw an old sycamore tree next to the courtyard.

"This is it!"

Walking to the front of the hospital, he saw a woman in plain clothes holding a baby in her arms. Her face had not changed from the weakness after giving birth. She was sitting in the sun playing with the sleeping child in her arms. When she saw a stranger coming, the woman couldn't help but ask:

"Who are you?"

"I'm sorry to bother you, Ce Tianfeng. I'm passing by here and want to ask for a bowl of water. Is it possible to make it easier?"

The man announced his name, but looked at the infant child, but after just one glance, he looked away, and there seemed to be some fluctuations in his originally lonely eyes.

The woman nodded when she heard the words, stood up with a smile, and without saying much, she just placed the baby in her arms in the cradle, and then walked into the house.

Listening to the ringing of the wind chimes hanging on the cradle, Ce Tianfeng looked at the child again, and then murmured in a complex tone that was very plain, but seemed to be extraordinary: "The appearance of a heavenly being? Unexpectedly, I can't believe it right now.

When I meet this person again, Naihe will make my heart come true."

After a pause, he slowly said four words.

"Weighing? Making trade-offs?"

"Sir, drink water!"

The woman left and came back again, holding a wooden ladle.

But when I looked again, there was no one in the courtyard. Ce Tianfeng had left at some unknown time.

After Ce Tianfeng left, the swaddled baby slowly opened its eyes, its pure and clear eyes seeming to be deep in thought.

Time flies so fast, winter turns to spring, spring turns to autumn, and two years pass.

This autumn.

Under the sycamore tree, a group of children were playing.

However, they were disturbed by the cicadas on the tree. They were beating bamboo poles under the tree, running and chasing them.

But among a group of gray-headed children, there was a doll wearing a tiger-head hat that stood out. She was carved in pink and jade, with a fair and delicate complexion. She was trotting behind a group of children, her little hands clenched tightly, as if she was trying her best.

Maybe he was tired from running, and then he saw the baby stretching his legs and sitting on the stone steps beside him with sweat on his forehead, panting for breath.

As time passed, watching the red sun set in the west, the children under the tree had dispersed one after another. Only the child was left sitting at the door of the courtyard, holding his chin, facing the evening wind, listening to the sound of cicadas, and was lost in thought for a long time.

.

"what's on your mind?"

Hearing this voice, the child tilted his head and looked curiously under the sycamore tree, where he saw a man silently looking at the cicada corpses on the ground.

The other party did not raise his head to look at him, but just said: "I come over to see you every once in a while. I really want to know why you deliberately behave so mediocre when you are so talented."

The child still didn't speak, as if he didn't understand, and seemed ignorant. He picked up a half-dead cicada from the ground.

Seeing that he didn't answer, the visitor didn't take it seriously, and still said to himself: "You still have two brothers in your family. Although the war has subsided, it will still be difficult for ordinary people like you to overcome the difficulties in a short period of time, but since

After you were born, their lives got better and better. I saw that their business methods in the market were very ingenious, and they were definitely not methods that rural farmers could come up with. Also, every move you made seemed ordinary.

Children are the same, very ordinary, but too ordinary!"

The appearance of the person who came here has not changed. He is none other than Ce Tianfeng, who accidentally entered here that day.

Seeing that the child still didn't speak, Ce Tianfeng continued: "I'm leaving. Before I left, I was always thinking about one thing, something that made me feel a little troubled. Should I take you away or kill you?

!”

"For a being like you who was born extraordinary, there are too many variables in the future. If you step onto the right path, it will actually be a blessing in the nine worlds. But if you go wrong and fall into the evil heretic, it will inevitably cause huge disasters. Good luck and disaster are intertwined.

Bi, I am actually somewhat interested in the choice of killing you, even if you are just a child, I cannot bear to treat everyone equally, and I am willing to treat everyone equally, but I finally found the third option..."

Facing the child's ignorant eyes, Ce Tianfeng looked calm and said calmly: "Then it's your choice!"

"Well, complex questions often have simple answers. Sometimes it's not good for people to be too smart, because you will find that your cognition is completely different from the people around you. This will only bring about...

Isolation and loneliness, and alienation.”

The child spoke, and he did as Ce Tianfeng wished. His childish voice spoke in an orderly manner, and he talked like an adult.

"Is there any difference between your choice and mine?"

"Of course it's different!"

Ce Tianfeng replied.

"Because any choice you make will allow me to gain an understanding of you and use it to judge the decisions in my heart!"

The child clapped his little hands and blinked his big eyes: "I always find this scene so strange. An adult actually threatens a two-year-old child. Do I understand that you are afraid of me?"

Ce Tianfeng looked at him, at the innocent child, for a long time, and then said in a cold tone: "Wrong, the reason why you made this choice is because I originally looked forward to your wisdom, but when I saw you

After meeting you several times, I suddenly realized that you already have your own wisdom, and unknown things are very dangerous!"

"And danger cannot be allowed to grow!"
