C186 (2/2)
He had obviously done so many heinous things, yet now … He even took everything for granted.
”Those who come are all guests. Come, come in and have a seat. I'll make some tea for you all and then we'll sit down and have a nice chat.” After they looked at each other for a long time, that person said this to his master.
Why did he suddenly become so courteous?
I looked at my teacher in bewilderment. What was going on? However, there must be demons behind all these abnormal events. It must not be a good thing.
”I say, Old Meng, it's been so many years since we last met. Your skills in brewing tea are just as good as it was in the past.” After tasting the tea personally brewed by Old Meng, his master praised it.
”It's alright, it's fine. I haven't brewed tea in so many years. I'm afraid my craftsmanship is already inferior to that of the past.” After hearing his master's words of praise, the Old Meng politely replied.
I sat on the sofa and stared at my master and Old Meng for a long time. I couldn't understand why the two of them, who were glaring at each other just a moment ago, would suddenly become so courteous.
It seemed to me that a good friend whom I hadn't seen for years had suddenly met.
However … Since Master is able to suppress his anger and exchange pleasantries with this so-called Old Meng, then — I believe Master must have his own reasons. As for me … Of course, he just needed to sit at the side and cooperate with his master.
”Don't you have any thoughts of repenting now?” I sat to the side and listened to my master and Old Meng courteously chat for a long time. Finally, I got to the point, and immediately got my spirits up as I sat to the side and listened to their conversation.
I had the feeling that the two of them didn't fight, that they were the abnormal kind, but now they made me feel like I was in outer space, like I was meeting an alien.
He felt that his brain capacity was already insufficient.
Didn't they say that enemies would turn red when they met? Why was it that when these two met, not only were they not jealous, they were even so courteous?
”In this world, no one is responsible for their own deaths. Everyone is looking for money, so what's wrong with me?” After hearing his Master's question, Old Meng took a sip of tea from the teacup on the table and slowly said to his Master.
Listening to Old Meng's words, I actually felt that what he said made a lot of sense.
This was because what the Old Meng said was correct. In this society, everyone looked at money, and it was the type that people did not care about themselves, but was instead cursed by the heavens.
If one were to think from this angle, Old Meng did not do anything wrong.
But standing in front of socialist morality and humanity, Old Meng had truly done wrong.
Wasn't it a mistake to hurt so many people, even causing others to lose their lives, for one's own benefit?
”You really have no regrets?” Hearing Old Meng's words, his master was also a little surprised, and after looking at him for a long while, he finally asked.
Right now, there was already a human life involved. Could it be … Is he still unrepentant?
