Chapter 54: Meditation
The deaf-mute still didn't understand what was going on, so he asked the woman in his own way. The woman didn't answer, but continued to walk back with her head half lowered. Seeing this, the deaf-mute didn't immediately ask again why, but followed her back.
"How pitiful!" A villager sighed upon seeing this scene.
Yin Ruchen felt even more uneasy when he saw all this.
The two of them left Zigui Village and rode back on horseback. On the way, Yan Moying was thinking about the strangeness of this matter, when Yin Ruchen suddenly asked him, "Did I harm Mr. Feng?"
"Ruchen, you..."
Before Yan Moying finished speaking, Yin Ruchen continued, "By harming Mr. Feng, I don't know how many people he has harmed. His adopted son, the deaf-mute, and the patients he could have cured..."
"Ruchen, you think too much. It's not your fault. Don't blame yourself!" Yan Moying comforted.
"Many things in this world are like this. They happen unexpectedly, and in an instant, everything changes. You have no way to reverse it, and you can only face everything that has changed. No matter whether the road ahead is covered with thorns and rocks, you can only keep going, just keep going... That boy is so pitiful, he is so young... Mr. Feng adopted him, but today three Liufeng darts changed his life again... Did you see his expression when he got the hare back? He was very happy. But his happiness left him as quickly as the hare... And the woman next to the big brother just now, came to Mr. Feng, she should have seen a glimmer of hope, maybe if Mr. Feng didn't leave today, the big brother would be able to hear the voice in the future... I wonder what will happen after he knows that Mr. Feng was murdered. If I meet him again at the village entrance tomorrow, will he still smile like he did today?" Yin Ruchen said, and fell into deep thought.
Yan Moying listened silently to Yin Ruchen's leisurely talk. He listened very carefully, and along with her words, he also felt the impermanence of the world.
“Sometimes, when a person’s fate changes, it rewrites the fate of others…” Yin Ruchen said.
"Why are you so sad suddenly? You have always been very open-minded about the world, right?" Yan Moying looked at Yin Ruchen and asked with concern.
"I don't know either. I always feel that people who can look at the world in a very open-minded way are often the ones who see the tragedy of life most thoroughly. Many optimistic people are actually very sad in their hearts. Because they understand that sadness is inevitable, they will be optimistic and even optimistic. Those who deeply realize that life is inherently sad have no extravagant expectations for so-called great joys. They never think that beautiful scenery and pleasant things should belong to them, so when good luck comes, they know how to be grateful; because they realize that life is inherently sad, when bad luck comes, they will think it is normal, so they will not regard it as sudden pain, and will not be pessimistic and decadent because of misfortunes. If life is a road destined to tragedy, why bother to fill the entire journey with resentment? Even if you know it is a tragedy, you must go on with a smile. Because they are ready to welcome sadness at any time, they don't feel that sadness has ever come, so they are optimistic and even optimistic, so they can look at everything in a open-minded way, so they always move forward with a smile." Yin Ruchen said everything he thought of.
