Chapter 35 Decisions(2/3)
"Husband, you said it wrong. It's not just Cailing, it's the common responsibility of our monks."
Dong Cailing said with a serious expression.
"Cailing knows that her strength is low. If she faces a large-scale invasion of demons, Cailing may not be able to play any role, but this does not mean that Cailing will retreat and escape. As long as every monk can do his best to spread his strength and shine, why should we fear demons?"
"I see."
Xia Fan sighed lightly.
The words are over.
They fell into a long silence.
"Shopkeeper, have you had any conflicts with Sister Cailing?"
After this day.
Xia Fan and Dong Cailing rarely communicate and interact.
Taozi and others naturally noticed something strange.
When Xia Fan was about to lie in the rocking chair in the courtyard as usual, he closed his eyes and rested, but Taozi did not continue to practice, but came to him nervously and asked carefully.
"Don't think too much. I actually have no conflicts with your sister Cailing, but I just have differences in some ideas."
Xia Fan comforted Taozi with a gentle smile.
"Difference? Can the shopkeeper talk about any differences with Taozi?"
Taozi still said with a worried look on her face.
"Taozi, do you know the demon?"
Xia Fan looked at the blue sky with striking eyes.
"Know."
Taozi nodded and said, "I don't know what to do."
"If the demons invade the Flying Bird Dynasty on a large scale, do you think we should leave the Flying Bird Dynasty?"
Xia Fan asked again.
"...If the Asuka Dynasty had the ability to resist the demons, we naturally didn't need to leave, but if not, Taozi felt that leaving was not a bad thing."
Taozi hesitated for a moment and gave her own answer.
"This is the difference between me and your sister Cailing."
Xia Fan sighed softly.
Taozi has been a practitioner for a short time.
Moreover, I have never received orthodox education from a practitioner, and the concept of demons remains on ordinary people, so I do not have the sense of responsibility of a monk like Dong Cailing.
In the eyes of ordinary people.
Not to mention a demon.
Even if it is a war on the mortal world.
Once it affects them, each other will judge the situation and seek profits and avoid harm.
In other words.
If they have no confidence in the people who are currently protecting themselves, those who are capable will run away with their families.
The same is true for the demon issue.
What's more.
If she had seen the brutal and bloodthirsty demon with her own eyes, she would have wanted to escape immediately after hearing the monsters invaded.
This is a normal idea for an ordinary person.
But Dongcailing is not an ordinary person.
Practitioners are also not ordinary people.
"Shopkeeper, what does this mean?"
Taozi said in confusion.
"The demon may have to go to war with human monks, and the Flying Bird Dynasty will inevitably get involved at that time, so I came up with the idea of leaving the Flying Bird Dynasty, but your sister Cailing doesn't agree."
Xia Fan explained directly.
"Ah? Why doesn't Sister Cailing agree? Can't she give up this villa?"
Taozi said in surprise.
"No, your sister Cailing is not that superficial in her thoughts."
Xia Fan shook his head and said.
"She refused to leave not because she could not give up this villa, but because her sense of responsibility as a monk made her unable to give up her homeland and countless ordinary people on this land."
“…”
Taozi fell into silence after hearing this.
a long time.
She finally spoke in a harsh tone.
"Taozi thinks that neither the shopkeeper nor the sister Cailing is wrong in this matter."
"Yes, we are not wrong, we just have different positions, so the ideas we have emerged will be divided."
Xia Fan said helplessly.
"…What is the shopkeeper's idea now?"
Taozi hesitated.
"Taozi, are you worried that I will leave your sister Cailing, please take you away?"
Xia Fan seemed to see through Taozi's thoughts at first glance and couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
"Shopkeeper, I, that's not what I mean..."
Taozi waved his hand quickly and wanted to explain.
"I know, so don't be nervous."
Xia Fan did not continue to tease Taozi.
"In fact, I never thought about abandoning Cailing. No matter what, she is still my wife in name. Do you think I am the kind of person who abandons my wife for the sake of my own life?"
"Of course the shopkeeper is not like this."
Peach said firmly.
"I hate trouble the most, but I'm not afraid of trouble."
Xia Fan suddenly stood up from the rocking chair and walked out of the courtyard.
"Where are you going, shopkeeper?"
Seeing this, Taozi hurriedly followed him forward and asked.
"Don't worry about me, I'll go to the lake to relax and tell Cailing to me that if she wants to choose to stay, I will choose to stay."
After saying that.
His figure gradually disappeared from Taozi's sight.
Peach stopped.
After watching Xia Fan leave silently, he turned around and walked in the other direction.
By the lake.
Xia Fan sat on a low stool.
His eyes silently looked at the shimmering calm lake.
"Aren't you going to leave?"
a long time.
A cold voice sounded in my ears.
"Are you so worried about me?"
Xia Fan didn't raise his head.
"I'm just a little curious about your decision."
The visitor was Ji Shang.
He stood beside Xia Fan with his hands on his back.
If someone looks at it from afar.
