Chapter Twelve Visible Sentient Beings

People often become particularly open-minded when they are at the critical moment of life and death. They are shocked to realize that everything except life is something other than the body, and they should give up.

The Ding brothers decisively abandoned the house, which was tied up and locked up in the woodshed. Gu Qing and Song Gensheng worked together to drag them in one by one, then carefully tied them to the column of the house, carefully checked the knot, and confirmed that they could not be untied and could not escape, Gu Qing then returned to the middle of the yard.

Song Gensheng set up a pile of dry firewood in the middle of the yard and lighted the fire. He took off the rabbit meat from Ding's kitchen and applied soybean oil, sprinkled with a little coarse salt, and finally put the rabbit meat on the fire to roast it.

Gu Qing frowned, and then his brows gradually relaxed.

"In the future, go to the kitchen to cook barbecue. The yard must be clean. Forget it this time, it's good to roast it well. I'm hungry." Gu Qing sat down next to Song Gensheng.

Song Gensheng pursed his lips and said nothing.

Gu Qing glanced at him and suddenly laughed: "You seem to be more afraid of me?"

Song Gensheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes."

"I think my methods are too vicious and too cold-blooded? Or do I feel pity for the Ding brothers?"

Song Gensheng hesitated for a while and sighed: "I am already a little confused at this time. I find that I can no longer tell what good is, what evil is, and how to deal with good and evil... The principles taught by sages seem to be inappropriate at the moment."

Having just rectified the village tyrant, Gu Qing was in a very happy mood at the moment and didn't mind talking about life with a simple silly boy.

"Okay, please remember calmly. Did I do something wrong tonight? If I do it wrong, what's wrong?"

Song Gensheng was speechless. From the time Gu Qing's house caught fire to this moment, his mind was always in chaos. Everything he experienced tonight broke his clear definition of good and evil in the world.

Only now did he realize that Gu Qing, a good man in his eyes, became more fierce than a villain. When he waved the door bolt and hit the Ding brothers mercilessly, his hideous face and the look of indifference to life, had nothing to do with the "good man" in any case.

However, the Ding brothers who are evil in their daily lives are as pitiful as two sheep falling into a wolf's den in front of Gu Qing. They beg for mercy and crying bitterly, which is no different from those honest and kind villagers who are bullied.

So, who is good? Who is evil?

"I said, I can no longer tell whether you are good or evil. I have no way of knowing whether what you do tonight is good or evil." Song Gensheng sighed and rubbed his painful temples.

Gu Qing also sighed: "In your opinion, it is best to put a knife on my neck and I don't resist. This is how I am a completely good person. If I resist, I will be the same as a villain, right?"

"I don't mean that, I just hope that when you punish evil people, don't... so cruel." Song Gensheng paused and said, "Mencius said, 'A gentleman stays away from the kitchen', because the kitchen is so hard to bear, so he stays away from it. He has benevolence and righteousness, but he does not see killing. Even if it is a punishment, he should give them a decent punishment."

Gu Qing sneered: "Why don't you see gentlemen unable to bear it when they eat meat? They eat more fragrantly than anyone else, but they can't bear it. Such gentlemen are just hypocrites. Gensheng, Mencius also said, 'It is better to have no books than to believe in books.' It is good to read more books, but don't read stupidly."

Song Gensheng's expression was still confused. The words Gu Qing and him did not solve his confusion, and he did not notice why Gu Qing, an illiterate person, knew what Mencius said.

But Gu Qing didn't want to talk about it anymore. This topic was too big and it was meaningless after talking. You couldn't let a piece of meat in your bowl, nor could you make an extra penny. If you have already satisfied your life one day, you can consider restarting this topic to digest food when you are full and full.

Song Gensheng was thinking, Gu Qing was watching.

Looking at the rabbit meat that Song Gensheng was grilling, after a long time, Gu Qing whispered: "I feel more and more that the saying "A gentleman stays away from the kitchen" is poisonous..."

Song Gensheng was stunned: "Why do you say this?"

"If a gentleman is far away from the kitchen, he can't even roast a rabbit. What's the difference between a gentleman and a waste?" Gu Qing calmly pointed to the rabbit meat in Song Gensheng's hand and said, "The meat is burnt."

"Ah!" Song Gensheng jumped up and took the rabbit with his eyes closed. Looking at the rabbit that was roasted almost to charcoal, Song Gensheng looked heartbroken and blamed himself.

"There is still there in the kitchen. If you pick up another one and bake it. If it burns, I will bake you and let you experience what a 'soul-free skewer' is."

Song Gensheng stood up aggrievedly. As soon as he took a step, Gu Qing suddenly grabbed him, signaled his chin to the door, and said, "Wait, you go and open the door first. There should be many people outside the door wanting to see me."

Song Gensheng was stunned and walked quickly towards the gate.

Gu Qing murmured: "I have seen myself, but I have seen all living beings."

The door opened, and there were many villagers standing in the open space outside the door, including old and young. The leader was an old man in his sixties. He stood in front of him with a cane. His long beard was half white under his jaw, his eyes were turbid and still shining. He lame his leg, but he stood in front of the crowd, but he still looked like a long spear with constant folds.

Gu Qing could see at a glance that this should be a veteran who had been fighting for the rest of his life.

The old man led by Song Gensheng bowed and bowed: "Gensheng has met Feng Aweng."

Feng Aweng nodded and smiled at Song Gensheng, with a very kind look. It seems that Song Gensheng, as the only young man in the village who has read, is still highly valued.

Gu Qing also got up and walked towards the door, saluting Feng Aweng: "Gu Qing has met Feng Aweng."

When Gu Qing showed up, the crowd suddenly became restless, and the timid people even took a few steps back in fear.

Feng Aweng should be the old man in the village. Gu Qing didn't know him, but he could see that the old man was strong and was old, no longer as brave as he was back then. He had a little bit of old age. He was powerless at all kinds of unfair things in Shiqiao Village.

There is no way to be able to stand it. Many people are heading towards the end of their lives in such a contradictory mood.

Feng Aweng's expression was very serious. This place was originally the house of the Ding brothers, but what came out was Gu Qing and Song Gensheng. The Ding brothers, who have always been domineering, were nowhere to be seen. Feng Aweng seemed not surprised.

Maybe the screams of the two guys were too loud when they were punishing the Ding brothers just now.

"I've been out of my mind. I didn't expect that the Gu family's son would be so brave. Good." Feng Aweng nodded to Gu Qing.

Gu Qing smiled: "I have to fight back when I am forced to have no way out, and I have to fight back. I have caused trouble for all my neighbors."

A strange look flashed in Feng Aweng's eyes, and he stared at Gu Qing up and down seriously.

Feng Aweng is a veteran. He has seen Zhen Zhang with the enemy on the battlefield. He survived with one leg with a mess. He has seen too many arrogant people in this life, including the robes in the military camp and the enemies on the battlefield, but he has never seen Gu Qing, a person who is still polite and gentleman after Lingqiang.

After looking at Gu Qing, Feng Aweng turned his gaze to the yard inside the gate of the Ding family and said, "You have you treated the Ding brother?"

Gu Qing shook his head: "I've cured it, but I'll keep my life and tied it to the woodshed."

The crowd suddenly became turbulent, and an angry voice came from it: "Bare them to death!"

"I have been bullied too much in the Ding family over the years. I will seek justice today!"

"Walk!"

Gu Qing frowned, stood at the door motionless, his expression becoming more and more cold.

The situation gradually got out of control, and Feng Aweng suddenly turned around and faced the crowd, and held the crutch hard on the ground, making a loud noise.

The sound of knocking seemed to hit people's hearts, and the crowd slowly calmed down.

Feng Aweng sneered: "You are bullied by the Ding brothers on weekdays and you don't see you resist. Today, the Ding brothers were punished by Gu Qing and the person was tied up. You suddenly have the courage to seek justice. You really have a bright future. If you want to kill the Ding brothers, you can. You can first introduce a person who will be punished. After the Ding brothers die, you will go to the government to surrender."
