184, [Meeting by chance]

The boy was straightforward and sunny, so he soon let go of his restraint and started chatting with the person in front of him.

Even though Mr. Fang once knocked down a monster that left the whole team helpless, with bare hands and extremely fierce, he didn't feel afraid. Instead, he felt that the other party's personality and the rumors between his friends were different, and it was not scary, as friendly as his appearance and temperament.

"...I can't hold too many people on the boat, and there are not enough places. I just hesitated and lost the opportunity to continue to follow. But I also feel a little regretful that I can't look at the world in the south."

The two had finished their meals and the restaurant took them down.

In small shops in villages and towns, it is normal to live in dissatisfied with living. Similarly, pedestrians who have eaten in the past are also dissatisfied with the tables under the shed.

Therefore, the store did not urge him, but instead served tea that was not expensive, allowing the two to watch the sunset and chat while drinking. Fang Chang took out a bun of dried fish again, and they didn't care about the smell, so they just ate with coarse tea.

"How did you join in before and serve as an escort for the convoy?"

Fang Chang asked the boy in front of him.

Hearing this, the boy raised his head and drank the tea in his cup in one go, as if he had drunk a glass of strong wine:

"I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child. Not long after I entered the world, I didn't feel any passion, nor did I see many heroic acts. Instead, I was more conspiracy and fraud, treacherous and weird. Although I have always heard people talk about this, I am still a little disappointed with this world."

"Unknown to me, I walked to the capital, and then I heard that a high-ranking official asked for the people and was sentenced to prison."

"Although there have been debates among the scholars about whether the high-ranking official's actions are right or wrong, the people and the world know what's going on, and who is doing it for our own good."

Fang Chang nodded.

As the saying goes, "When people are doing it, the heaven is watching", but for the world, the heart of the people is the heart of heaven, which is actually "when people are doing it, the people are watching."

Although the people may seem a little foolish and like to follow blindly, no one is really a fool. For personal matters, everyone will always know what is going on, and know the simple but extremely important "yes" and "no".

So Fang Chang said in agreement: "So this time, it can be considered a response."

The boy nodded and continued to recall and tell in a tone that was not very suitable for his age:

"I heard that the doctor's order was to be exiled to the frontier, and the bad people might be detrimental to him halfway, so people started to connect with each other, and some of them contributed money and some of them contributed their efforts, and soon organized the team."

"And, in order to prevent undercover agents and those who have guaranteed to know the truth can join in. I was lucky enough to be familiar with several heroes in this team. After receiving their recommendation, I also joined the guards."

"Along the way, I fought with the attackers, defeated and even killed the enemy, which was considered to be a bit of strength for the world. But, alas, Leader Liu said, 'Manpower is sometimes poor', and the world seems to be getting worse day by day."

Speaking of this, the cheerful boy was actually a little silent on his face.

Fang Chang slowly tore up two dried fish and comforted him:

"As long as there are enough people who have put in their strength, they will naturally win over the world. Besides, the world is actually fine, it is not bad, it is just that there is power to stir up the storm."

"It is important to know that the 'great trend of the world' is actually a major trend composed of countless people. As long as the people in the world are still the main body of the world and still hope to live and work in peace, the general trend will inevitably be reversed one day."

The boy turned the teacup in his hand and said:

"Mr. What the sir said is right. This is the reason, but I still don't want to continue to be a good person. Maybe in the future, I will be more relaxed and comfortable when I go home and be a good person. This world is too cold, too fake, too confused and powerless."

"Even among these people who are escorting together, there are also different quality. Although everyone is working together on the way, the follow-up cannot be accurately explained. For example, due to the abundant funds this time, each of us got a lot of money when we left, but everyone uses this money very differently."

"Ordinary people would go for a big meal, buy some good weapons, and take them home or save them up, but some people still took their travel expenses to the brothel gambling hall. Seeing what they were doing, I made a decision to leave Chaoyungang as soon as possible."

Fang Chang did not comment too much on the choice of the teenager.

Perhaps it is because my heart is in the light and cannot stand the darkness, maybe it is just a little tired, or the gap between ideals and reality is too big, or even a new decision made by careful consideration... These are all personal choices and I am not easy to argue with.

He just asked, "Are you going back to your hometown?"

"Yeah." said the boy, "the parents at home are old. Although there are many brothers and sisters, it is not a problem for me to have more."

Being able to raise a child who has been practicing martial arts since childhood proves that his family is rich enough and not a poor family.

"No longer in the world?" Fang Chang asked.

The boy nodded:

"Yes, I won't be chaotic anymore. I have participated in this escort for the time I have done a big deal for me, and this trip is not a waste."

"Fortunately, I'm not old and I don't have much involvement in this world. I can't call it a golden pot washing my hands, and I shouldn't call it a fear of escaping. Well, it's probably just a 'retired countryside', but my martial arts are a bit of a pity."

"I was looking forward to walking around the world one day, but I didn't know what the world is. Now I already know what the world is, but what I think is the small courtyard at home."

"Perhaps, I will be a good farmer or a good craftsman who walks around the streets and no longer participate in the affairs of the world."

"unless……"

He lowered his head, the young man pondered for a moment, and then the other party said:

"At present, the people I admire most are Liu and Yu."

"Sir, you should be clear that Liu Headmaster was a scholar. For justice, he resolutely gave up the imperial examination and participated in this kind of suspicion of licking blood from the knife. Moreover, along the way, he commanded and arranged in a good manner, such as many people's teams were condensed into a rope, and he could go in the same place when encountering enemies, and was in a well-organized manner. Although I didn't have much time to walk around the world, I also knew how rare it was."

"When the leader, as a woman, whether in martial arts or sense of justice, is stronger than most men in the world. And they often lead by example, not afraid of difficulties and dangers, and are in a thorough and fair manner. Everyone will give a thumbs up. With her, even if the enemy on the opposite side is unable to compete, everyone knows that they will be defeated, but they will not be afraid."

"If the two of them were summoned and sent to me in the future, no matter what they were asked to do, I would definitely go. I believe that as long as the peers did not fall, the same would be true."

"Of course, no one can tell what happens in the future. I'd better go home first and catch up with the spring sowing."

After saying that, the boy drank the tea in the cup and said goodbye to Fang Chang.

At this time, he had already ignored Fang Chang's true identity and just regarded him as a good listener.

The boy was going to go to the store, find a room to spend the whole night, and then walk to the northwest fork from here.

His hometown is in that direction.

After listening to the story of the boy, Fang Chang smiled and said before leaving: "Peace is blessing, and peace and smooth life are great fortunes - I wish you peace."

The two bowed slightly and said goodbye.

They didn't ask each other for names.

Meeting by chance is fate, and it doesn’t matter whether you really know each other.
Chapter completed!
