Cartoonist's Dream

On a certain day in September 2001, more than half a month after the espionage incident.Li Mu visited the district hospital as usual, and ran home with Yisha and Muzi before dinner.At around 9 o'clock in the sunset, the lights on the second floor had been turned off, but the roof was brightly lit, and a vine trellis a little bigger than Lu Hui's house was set up on it.

There are also lush shrubs planted on the roof, all of which are plants planted in flower pots, and there are very familiar scenes in front of them.Since Limu was either in the hospital or in the studio, it was extremely harmful to his health, and he would not listen to persuasion.Li Xiuli took Sheng Nan to set up a painting table on the roof, hoping that he could work in a spacious environment.

The roof area of ​​184 square meters is more spacious than Lu Hui's house, but Li Mu always felt that something important was missing, and those missing people and things made him feel deeply guilty.

—Yes, it’s guilt.

Li Mu regretted what he had done.If it wasn't for changing history by herself, Lu Hui and Lu Wei would definitely live their lives in peace.For the consequences of his rebirth, he even felt a heavy sense of guilt...it was obviously so painful to come to the roof to paint, but he felt that he could redeem his sin in the pain. [

Tonight, as usual, he came to the roof with his painting tools on his back.Muzi followed closely, intending to accompany him through this most difficult night time.

Usually Li Mu would meditate before painting, but today he turned his head uncharacteristically and looked at the beautiful girl sitting 3m away from him.

"Hi, boy."

Receiving Li Mu's gaze, Mu Zi immediately put down the arm supporting his chin, and waved with a sweet smile full of energy.

A teenager who is almost numb in work and care—finally realizes that there is someone beside her who needs to be taken care of. She is a 15-year-old girl who was taken out of the house by herself.Since he is over 14 years old, he has passed the sentence limit for abducting young girls.

"Girl, sit down a little bit, I have something to talk to you today."

Li Mu patted the armrest of the plastic chair.The latter was overjoyed, leaning the chair against his buttocks, trotted to his side, and sat at zero distance from him.

"Young man, are you finally going to confess to Muzi?"

Muzi leaned close to his side and asked, his tone sounded a little impatient.For a while, Li Mu couldn't even speak, so he could only look up at the starry sky through the gap of the grape vines, and then said after a while:

"...Muzi, your family's attitude towards you, what did you do at home?"

"What does 'what' mean?"

"If you don't know, how could I know? Anyway, after moving here for two months, don't you want to go back and visit your parents? —Take care of them, and greet them."

"If the boy asks, I can go back and take a look at them, but Muzi doesn't want to go back to see them at all, as long as I look at you, the boy, I am satisfied."

Muzi seems to be very disapproving of the two old people at home.

"You can't say that. Your father and mother are both very old. The physical strength of the elderly will deteriorate when the weather is hot. The elderly who often sit at the desk are more prone to problems... It is your responsibility to take care of them. Bar."

"No, Muzi has no responsibility for them."

To Muzi's surprising answer.Li Mu almost thought that something was wrong with his ears, his eyes widened and he was almost speechless.

"Eh—?! Why is there no responsibility!?"

"It's not that Muzi asked them to give birth to Muzi, so of course Muzi has no responsibility to them." [

"This, this...how should I explain it?"

Li Mu's tone sounded a bit distressed.If Muzi had a sense of responsibility, he probably wouldn't have committed suicide many times.Having said that, the circumstances of her suicide did confirm the resentment she had towards her parents for bringing her into the world.

"Explain?"

Muzi mistakenly thought that Li Mu was because of [? ], with an unusually relaxed smile on his face, he explained:

"As for Muzi, I feel that childbirth is an unequal contract. Mr. Mei and Meiji did not discuss with Muzi when they gave birth to Muzi, nor did they seek Muzi's consent. They just decided to bring Muzi into this world unilaterally. Maybe Including Muzi, other children in the world don't actually want to come to this world

"It's a pity that my parents, including Mr. Mei and Meiji, have unilaterally concluded this unequal contract. It is obviously an unequal contract, but Muzi is required to fulfill the obligation of filial piety. What did you say, 'Didn't you think about our feelings when you committed suicide?' , "Is it worthy of our upbringing?" and so on.

"The beneficiary's parents made the contract unilaterally. But they require the children of the party who conditionally accept the contract to perform their obligations. This is simply an overlord contract."

"You told your parents the same thing?"

Li Mu propped his head, looking distressed.

"Well, what's the problem?"

"Muzi, they did raise you, even though you don't want to be born, you should have the responsibility of having children as compensation, right?"

Hearing Li Mu's reason, Muzi's face flashed a trace of surprise.

"Young man, it's not right to say that. In nature, the newborn cubs of all animals are weak and need the upbringing and care, protection and teaching of their parents. This is the nature and instinct of all living things. Human beings are also like this. So The natural world is full of pictures of affection. However, once a cub matures, it will separate from its parents and become an independent individual. It is not the private property of the parents. It is human nature for parents to raise their children, and reproduction is a biological process. Instinct, not out of utilitarian calculations.

"The "filial piety" of Confucian culture turns this nature into a debt-credit relationship. Everyone has a "primary debt" to repay. Parents are just usurers, and they can make huge profits as long as they give birth to their children. Nobility and kindness are eliminated, leaving only despicable and wretched calculation of interests. "Filial piety" establishes a person's status as a creditor, so many places have been prevalent in many places.

"That is to say, under the poison of various humanistic and utilitarian ideas, the reproductive instinct, which originally conforms to the nature of nature and is completely selfish, has become a concept of human selfishness, and has become a kind of investment. Like me, in Before the age of 14, they had to be forced to survive and participate in various competitions for them to earn a living."

"You told your parents all this? No wonder they told me that at the time."

Li Mu covered her face with her hands, looking completely miserable.It turned out that Muzi was unfeeling first, and his parents abandoned him later.

"By the way, Muzi, don't you admire your mother very much in your diary?"

Li Mu remembered that at that time, she had indeed seen the field of [...Meiji, National Day...don't go home...the son-in-law who will be seen soon].At that time, although he was concentrating, he was looking at ten lines at a glance, and he couldn't remember the specific content clearly, but Da Di could still remember that it was Muzi's gratitude to his mother.

"Yeah, Muzi likes Meiji more, so I want to give her a surprise out of Muzi's own preference. But Mr. Mei can't do it, he actually blocks Muzi's free love.

"Wild animals raise their children and let them live and hunt independently. There is no such thing as filial piety and obedience. The children of animals decide how to live in this life and which opposite sex they want to mate with. They never obey their parents. Mr. Mei not only asks Muzi to obey according to his ancient ideas, but also interferes with Muzi's love and marriage affairs, which Muzi absolutely does not allow.

"Young man, the way you treat your father and mother, isn't it based on your own preferences? So, the young man and Muzi are really similar—in terms of thoughts and encounters, this is a 'confidant'!" [

Muzi's feelings for his mother and Limu are open-minded, he hooked Limu's arm and leaned on his shoulder, which is not the same as a "confidant" at all, she is simply a mistress who hooks up with others.

"My"

After Muzi glued his whole body together, Limu was dumbfounded by what Muzi said again.There must be misunderstandings in the idea of ​​raising children to look after their old age, at least not in the United States.After a while, he suddenly had an idea, found the gap in Muzi's words, and asked without thinking:

"You talked about wild animals, why didn't you talk about bees and ants? They are born by their mothers, but they give back to their mothers until they die. Look, don't the society appreciate the hard work of bees?"

"bee?!!"

Muzi sat up and let out a cry that he didn't know whether it was doubt or stunned.
