Chapter 38 Section 5 Dreamer

People in the world have many mortal eyes, and when they see someone prominent, they fear and respect them; when they see people degraded, they laugh at them contemptuously.This is the knowledge of fireflies, not those who can recognize heroes.Those who are good at knowing heroes can see the extraordinary from poverty, see the extraordinary from loneliness, can taste a piece of water and think of the sea in the distance, and look at a brick and want to see the Great Wall. So far, everyone has regarded Liu Xiu as easy, but only Deng Chen has regarded Liu Xiu as peculiar, and firmly believes in it.When Qianghua saw Liu Xiu's forehead protruding, he asserted that Liu Xiu had the appearance of an emperor, at least there was a basis in physiognomy, but Deng Chenzhi firmly believed, but there was no basis at all. He neither relied on X-ray perspective nor used a tower He only relied on his own intuition to deduce the cards.

Liu Xiu fled to Xinye and lived in Deng Chen's mansion. For half a year, he didn't do anything serious except help the Deng family eliminate a lot of food.Deng Chen didn't care about food, but Liu Xiu. Seeing Liu Xiu go about his life day by day, enjoying himself leisurely, neither worrying about the beauty's twilight, nor lamenting the resurrection of his body, Deng Chen felt sorry for Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu, do you know that you are ruining yourself? In the blink of an eye, it was June, and Liu Xiu estimated that the rumors had passed, so she decided to go to Wancheng to sell grain and continue to make money to support her family.As a brother-in-law, Deng Chen is duty-bound to help Liu Xiu make arrangements, raise vehicles and horses, and purchase grain from all over the world. Everything is ready and he will set off the next day.That night, Deng Chen held a farewell party for Liu Xiu. After drinking for three rounds, the two of them stepped out of the atrium and looked up at the sky, which was filled with stars.Liu Xiu looked at the stars, far away.Deng Chen looked at Liu Xiu, very close.

The wine was in full swing, and the two simply sat on the ground under the curtain of the sky, drinking to each other in the starry night, without talking for a long time.Deng Chen suddenly shook his head and sighed, "What a pity." Liu Xiu asked, "What a pity?" Deng Chen didn't answer.The two drank wine and remained silent for a while. Deng Chen said abruptly, "Which is tolerable?" Liu Xiu asked again, "Who and what is unbearable?" Deng Chen still didn't answer, but raised his glass to congratulate: " Tomorrow you will travel far away, life is short, tonight, please talk about fate."

Such a beautiful day, the topic should be romantic, talk about the beauty like a moon across the clouds, or the ten miles of lotus in the south of the Yangtze River, but Deng Chen suddenly wanted to talk about fate with Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu couldn't help but shuddered, and looked at the always smiling Deng Chen's face was serious at the moment, and he clearly recognized the truth. Liu Xiu didn't dare to neglect immediately, and said seriously: "I would like to hear a high opinion." Deng Chendao: "Officials should be regarded as Jinwu, and wives should be regarded as Yinlihua. These are the two major ambitions you set when you were in Taixue. How is the progress now?"

If it were someone else, Deng Chen's question would definitely be greatly annoyed. You are a brother-in-law, and you still don't know about my crap?Yin Lihua has no shadow, Zhijinwu has no play.You ask knowingly, do you want to hear me say it yourself before you are satisfied?But Liu Xiu has always been good-tempered, she laughed off Deng Chen's provocation, and replied, "No rush." Deng Chen looked at Liu Xiu, but seeing that Liu Xiu was calm and relaxed, he really didn't seem to be in a hurry. However, Deng Chen was not convinced. He believed that this was just an illusion. His brother-in-law was worried for Liu Xiu, so what about Liu Xiu himself? Maybe not in a hurry?Liu Xiu is already twenty-eight years old. Not only is he single, but he is also unemployed. He would be in a hurry to change anyone. Why is he not in a hurry?

The summer night breeze blows over the silence, like a stream flowing silently among pebbles.Through alcohol and drunkenness, Deng Chen finally mustered up the courage to confess his heart to the boy he had a crush on, like a girl in love, and said to Liu Xiu: "Uncle Wen, among thousands of people, I only see you. I don't care whether you are really not in a hurry or not, I will tell you that whether it is a merchant or a Jinwu, it is actually not worth mentioning, your stage is not here, your stage is the whole world." Liu Xiu asked in surprise, "Why did you say that?"

Deng Chen took a full drink, and then replied: "I met Cai Shaogong in Wancheng that day. Cai Shaogong said that Liu Xiu should be the emperor. In my opinion, this word will definitely come true to you. Uncle Wen, work hard!" Liu Xiu laughed and said, "How can you believe what Cai Shaogong said?" Deng Chen argued: "However, you yourself agreed at the time." Liu Xiudao: "I was just joking. Look at me, I am exiled to Xinye, sent to the king's fence, and I have no time to protect myself. How dare I hope for the world?" Deng Chen shook his head and said, "You just haven't got the right time, when the time comes, luck will come naturally."

Liu Xiu smiled and said, "Do you really believe that I will become the Son of Heaven?" Deng Chen solemnly said: "The important thing is not that I believe, but that you have to believe. Except you, no one can achieve you, no one can become you." Liu Xiu sighed, "Is this the fate you want to talk to me about?" Deng Chen nodded.Liu Xiu regained her spirits and said, "Do you believe that fate is preordained and cannot be changed?" Deng Chen nodded again.Liu Xiudao: "Then let me ask you, I caught a little bird and held it in my hand. Do you think its fate is life or death?"

Deng Chen scratched his head. If he guessed that the bird was alive, Liu Xiu could squeeze the bird to death. If he guessed that the bird was dead, the bird would still be alive as soon as Liu Xiu let go It is a Zen koan, unfortunately the source has long been forgotten, if it can be found out in the future, it will be added).Liu Xiu chased after the victory and asked again, "Let me ask you again, that poor Schrödinger cat, is its fate dead or alive?" Deng Chen stared blankly and couldn't answer.Liu Xiu concluded his speech by saying: "The fate of birds and cats is still unknown, let alone human beings? From this we can see that fate is unreliable."

Deng Chen couldn't argue, but refused to admit defeat. He just pretended to be heartbroken and sighed to the sky. If you don't believe it, you will definitely not be able to stand firm ("Bible" Isaiah Chapter 7, Section 9, [If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established〕).
