"And this kind of dependence keeps growing, then, one day in the future, when another crisis comes, if the people living in this city only hope for the appearance of a savior, no matter whether the hero everyone expects is herself... "
Gu Bai looked at Barbara seriously:
"Do you think your sister would like to see this happen?"
When the Song of Songs Sounds: Chapter 206 The Greatest Enemy
"Do you think Jean would like to see that happen?"
The answer is actually self-evident.
Barbara shook her head again, the way she'd spent the night, either in soft denial.
Gu Bai continued:
"I'm not saying that she shouldn't stand up in times of crisis. As the acting head, she does have the responsibility to do these things, but when viewed in a longer time dimension, different conclusions are often drawn. "
"What will happen in the future? There are countless possibilities in front of us. Maybe it's better or worse. Qin naturally hopes for better things, so she can't wait to spend a few years to accomplish decades, but instead of paving the way , should learn to trust these people more.”
"A long time ago, this city was ruled by the lonely king of the tower and the old nobles, but was finally overthrown by the people."
"We can't guarantee that this kind of tyranny will disappear from now on. They will definitely reappear someday in the future, but the people ruled will repeat their past behaviors."
"Keep this hope, possibility, tinder... call it what you want, and this is what I see in the longer time dimension."
Speaking of his throat a little dry now, he cleared his throat and used this as the end of the topic.
Almost everything that needs to be said has been mentioned. It is not a profound truth.
Gu Bai stretched himself, and couldn't help laughing:
"So, despite Qin's hard work, she sometimes feels at a loss, and always feels that there is something she can't do enough, but she can't come to a conclusion. According to me, her biggest enemy is the heart that no one can match. sense of responsibility."
"I have persuaded her so many times before, but she can't help herself to do trivial things outside of her duties, such as finding a lost cat, mediating conflicts on the street, and even wanting to persuade her when couples quarrel. To tell you the truth, I even saw her snatch the adventurer's commission."
"Others arrived excitedly, but she had already solved the trouble, leaving the other party standing there dumbfounded."
He stretched out his hand and counted, "For another example, when she sees a customer who has no money for dinner, she will help put the money on it, you say..."
"Forget it, let's not talk about it."
This example became more and more familiar, and he thought it would be better to change it:
"It's the same in life, tell her not to be so tired, work less overtime and stay up late, and don't drink so much coffee even if she stays up late, but your sister's character..." Gu Bai clicked his tongue, "You know, she looks very gentle, In fact, she is more stubborn than anyone else, and she can't listen to it no matter how many times I say it."
"Also, tell her not to forget to eat, and don't always hold a piece of fisherman's toast when eating, the whole person will soon become tomato-like, I think it's better not to call her Dandelion Knight, but to call her Tomato Knight... ..."
As soon as this was mentioned, he unconsciously rambled:
"But you can't get angry with her, and you can't say that conscientiousness is also a mistake, not to mention that I, a little foreigner, have no right to criticize the acting leader."
"Also, even if the tone becomes serious, she will look at you innocently and then wink."
"innocent……"
"I even suspect that she observed that little guy's expression when Guan Keli was in confinement, and learned it quietly."
Gu Bai opened his eyes wide and looked towards the sky, what he didn't notice was Barbara's increasingly strange expression:
"It should be innocent... Well, it's actually not right. If I was joking just now, I don't know how to describe it. It's like a pool of clear water?"
"I've seen the pond water there on the snow-capped mountains. I think it's the most appropriate description. In short, you can't speak after seeing it."
"And once you stop talking, she will take advantage of the victory and burst out laughing..." Gu Bai turned his head expressionlessly at this point, "Yes, it's this kind of smile, you two are worthy of being sisters, They even smile the same way."
"Also, I know how she smiles, so I don't need to imitate it."
"I'm sorry, I..." Barbara rubbed her eyes, exhaled with effort, and straightened her face, "Please continue, I..." She couldn't help laughing again, even her shoulders were a little crooked, "I, I will listen carefully!"
"Is it funny?"
"No……"
"Didn't you persuade your sister that way?"
"It seems... there really isn't one."
"Try it, there will be unexpected gains." Gu Bai took a few deep breaths: "For example, it is easy to become several years older."
"Every time I talk about her, I end up hearing sorry, sorry, and sorry every time I hear from her."
"After apologizing, I will tell you again, I will pay attention, I will pay attention, I will definitely pay attention..."
"After paying attention for so long, I didn't see any change except the change from coffee to black tea." He said tiredly, "I didn't say anything later, and I guess she was annoyed by it."
"No, from my sister's point of view, I think she will be very happy..."
"What's the use of being happy." Gu Bai smiled helplessly.
From a psychological point of view, when two people are chatting, finding a familiar partner, and then properly sharing some things that happened with the other party, can shorten the distance between the two.
The topic just now was a bit serious, Gu Bai enlightened the other party in a preaching tone;
That was just a personal opinion, and he also didn't want Barbara to take those words as a correct conclusion.
As I said before, maybe the answer is not important, what is important is the process of finding, and it is always a good thing to keep thinking and questioning.
And in a specific occasion and time, such as this moment, it is easy to amplify the effect of a sentence, giving people an illusion of incomparable depth.
Just like when people express their love, they will look for a quiet or romantic environment.
But the topic they are talking about is not love, and it cannot be determined by a whim;
As for whether it is right or wrong, it should be left to Barbara to ponder afterward, instead of ignorantly making a conclusion now.
That's why he took the initiative to break the atmosphere, and talked about Qin in a tone of headache. Of course, the headache is not pretending. He really recalled the things between the two of them, as if he couldn't count them. It was half deliberate and half natural. mention it.
The effect is good.
From the corner of his eyes, he glanced at Barbara's reaction, as if he was still thinking about what the Qin described in that description looked like, and the depression between his brows also disappeared a lot.
Seeing this, Gu Bai stopped talking, took a sip from the water glass, and waited quietly by the side.
After a while, Barbara put away her smile, adjusted her breath, and said seriously:
"Thank you, I probably understand. What Mr. Gu wants to say is that in the past we have been trying to persuade my sister not to put too much pressure on her, but the effect has never been good; but this time, no matter from which point of view, it is a suitable opportunity, and for good reason.”
"En." Gu Bai nodded, "That's why I said it's a good thing. No matter how many times I said it in the past, she wouldn't listen to it, but this time, whether she wants to or not, she has to change her previous behavior."
"But don't worry, there won't be too much resistance. She is more sensitive than us in this regard. Since we can all see some clues from it, she should be able to faintly notice it."
"But even if we don't realize it, at least we can be sure of Qin's thoughts, that is, she definitely doesn't want to see the evil consequences of boundless dependence and worship."
Gu Bai made a metaphor:
"All kinds of affairs and responsibilities are like chains, tied to her body, making her unable to move. Since the Grand Master left, coupled with the impact of the dragon disaster, these chains have begun to tighten, almost making her breathless Come on."
"In the past, when we tried to persuade her to relax, we actually missed the point."
Gu Bai gestured twice on the ground with his hands:
"You think, if she is allowed to work less overtime, the work will be divided up, and the pressure on others will increase."
"That's why she never listened to persuasion, because she always thought that any troubles and burdens would be borne by herself. If she did more, the people around her would be more relaxed, and the city and its people would be better. .”
"Under this logic, it would be strange for her to relax."
He sighed:
"I don't know how Qin will behave in front of you, but your sister is not as strong as she appears on the surface."
"When she entered the knight order, she was about the same age as you. She walked step by step, feeling helpless and uneasy. When she fell, she immediately got up... There is no natural acting leader."
"When she sat in that position, it happened to be the emptiest period of time for Monde. The seniors went out on expeditions. When they were confused, they couldn't find anyone to ask. Lisa could take care of her life, but she couldn't do it at work. It's hard to help."
"I always feel that her efforts are more like struggles. It may be an exaggeration to say this, but the fact is—when she doesn't know what to do, all that's left is to work hard."
"This is to erase the worries in my heart, but sometimes the harder I try, the more I lose my direction. Maybe she also knows that helping others blindly is not a long-term solution, but what else can she do?"
"It's just that your sister's ability is far beyond ordinary people, so she can do well just by working hard."
"I say this not to accuse her of not knowing how to think and only blindly acting recklessly, but that there is not much room for her to adjust."
"A person trapped in a swamp will move his limbs desperately, but the more he struggles, the deeper he sinks, and the result is a harder struggle until all his strength is exhausted and he sinks to the bottom."
Gu Bai let out a breath:
"But this time it's different."
"It's no longer a question of how much effort you put in, but a mistake in your thinking. We have enough reasons to convince her that what we need to do is to slowly change her thinking."
"Look, the windmill over there collapsed during the dragon disaster, the bricks and stones of the house were broken to the ground, many people were injured, and the familiar scene no longer exists... The past is broken, but a new one will come."
"The current situation is very bad, of course it is very bad, but since it has reached the extreme, it might as well stop and take a breath, and re-examine the city and the people living there."
"Then, make some changes."
"The process of pulling the chains off her body is like untying them."
"Untie..." Barbara murmured.
"Of course, I said it was too easy." Gu Bai shook his head and smiled, "It's another matter to really do it. The concept will not change overnight, whether it is Qin or the public, but at least you can Found the problem and took the first step.”
"After I go back, I will write a proposal and submit it to her, but not in a private capacity, but as an honorary knight, and not only me, but also some people will be called to participate."
As he spoke, his eyes fell on Barbara:
"I think the opinion of the church is also very important."
"You mean... me?"
"Why not." He stood up from the ground and patted the dust off his body, "I'm very glad to be in such a group without any filth, just because she is Qin and we want to help her, so we stand beside her behind, not for any other reason."
"Let's talk about you again. Now that you have seen the result of excessive worship, you should know what to do in the future."
Barbara also stood up, she wanted to fold the coat, but Gu Bai waved his hand to signal no:
"Good intentions will be distorted, and the final result may be evil. People love it, and you have the responsibility to limit it."
"I don't like to mention the word obligation, because you don't have to stop it, but what will happen has already been said just now. Whether you do it or not, the result will be borne by you."
Gu Bai slowed down his tone a bit:
"In fact, you have done a good job. What you lack is experience. You just don't know how to guide this kind of goodwill instead of taking advantage of it. At that time, when treating the wounded in the square, many people hoped to see you. "
"Hmm... Everyone's eyes are even brighter, maybe I'm wrong, but no matter what, I... I'm very happy."
If it wasn't for her sister, she thought she wouldn't have noticed that strangeness and enthusiasm.
She whispered:
"Actually, I didn't think it was so complicated. During the initial period of practice, the smiles on everyone's faces were like medals to me."
Massaging her swollen and sore calves at night, or sipping apricot white tea that protects her throat, she thinks of everyone who has shown kindness to her, and is happy and grateful for it.
She also thought of the scene when the dragon hovered in the sky and she was running among the crowd, the laughter and thanks passed by her ears, and the faint fear turned into kindness and warmth.
"But these people will like you, and they will also have no feelings for you one day, and even turn their likes into disgust and hatred."
Gu Bai lowered his eyes, the experience of his previous life is not applicable, because the environment is too far apart, there has never been an idol profession on this continent, in fact, he has no definite answer on how to do it and what it can develop into. .
"Those various emotions can be regarded as a windmill. When the wind blows, it will rotate faster, and of course it will stop and be damaged. Sometimes the wind changes direction and it will rotate in the opposite direction."
But the only thing that can be said to a girl is:
"So, who are you?"
"I'm……"
"The first thing to learn is to refuse. You are the wind, but you are not being fanned by people, but a wind that flows freely between heaven and earth."
When Songs Sound: Chapter 207 How can there be such a villain?
"Let the wind lead."
"Suddenly thought of this saying that has been passed down from mouth to mouth, and it has a similar reason."
He had heard this phrase on the piano so many times that he could easily recall it now:
"I used to think that this sentence is saying that when you have something on your mind, close your eyes and feel the direction of the wind. It will tell us what to do."
"It was later discovered that instead of looking for the wind, it is better to regard yourself as the wind. Where should you go? When your heart becomes empty, you will find the answer."
"When you are in trouble, you may wish to think about it. Not only those good intentions and malice, in fact, the whole world is also like a windmill, but it is just a huge windmill. It has always stood there quietly, wrong and good, never in the way people think change direction. All we can do is make it turn, or stop."
