Ning Ye shook his head and said, "I didn't mean to joke, it's just that you don't understand what I'm talking about. But it doesn't matter. I wonder which old friend asked you to do this?"
Hua Ruocheng smiled calmly, "It's not convenient to tell Young Master Ning right now, but I am quite curious about you. Did you truly act from the heart today?"
"Does the gentleman think that I'm just putting on a show today, and that my true colors will naturally be revealed in the future?"
"That's right. It's easy to do something once, but it's not so easy to keep doing it. Nobody knows when a person will change."
Ning Ye suddenly turned around and pointed behind him, saying, "I don't know what this gentleman's purpose is in coming here, but look at everything behind us. Everyone is clearly happy, and everyone should be able to live. Why would I lie to them?"
Hua Ruocheng was completely stunned for a moment. He didn't know how to respond to Ning Ye's words. Yes, everything seemed so beautiful, and everything should have been this way.
Is it only by exploiting the people to the extreme that a dynasty can prosper?
Is it really necessary to take everything away for someone to be happy?
Hua Ruocheng didn't know how long it had been since he had seen an ordinary village so thriving and bustling with activity.
The entire dynasty was already terminally ill; everyone knew this, but no one was willing to face it.
"Let's just wait it out for another day" has probably become the only thought in many people's minds, and no one cares how much longer these people have to endure their suffering.
Perhaps to those high-ranking figures, ordinary people are insignificant, and they have never had a place in their grand scheme of things.
Who can remember the saying that water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it?
Hua Ruocheng suddenly asked without warning, "Young Master Ning, are you perhaps planning a rebellion?"
Ning Ye burst into laughter, his laughter completely genuine, and he couldn't stop laughing, just as if Hua Ruocheng had told a really funny joke.
Hua Ruocheng asked, puzzled, "I'm asking seriously, why are you acting this way?"
Ning Ye's voice trembled, "Sir, do you know where this is? Do you know who I am? The word 'rebellion' is far too heavy for me. Are you trying to make fun of me?"
Hua Ruocheng smiled slightly. His idea was indeed a bit outrageous, and for a moment he didn't even realize where he was.
"I may have gone a bit too far, but it doesn't matter. What you're doing now, Young Master Ning, is enough to earn you a lot of praise. You can keep going until you don't want to go anymore."
Ning Ye's smile suddenly vanished, and even Hua Ruocheng found the change in his expression to be too sudden.
"Sir, how many people are there in the world, and how much can I do? Is it right for one person to try to save everyone in the world?"
Hua Ruocheng remained silent. He had originally planned to test Ning Ye, but now he was caught off guard by Ning Ye's question and didn't know how to answer.
Perhaps this young man in front of me doesn't need me to teach him anything. He should have his own path to walk, and how far he can go is just a matter of fate.
Hua Ruocheng took out a jade pendant from his pocket. "If you ever go to the capital, this jade pendant might be of some help to you. I'll take my leave now."
Ning Ye urged him to stay, saying, "Sir, please don't be in such a hurry to leave. The celebration is about to begin, and there will be some fine wine. Would you like to try some before you go?"
Hua Ruocheng shook his head. "Forget it, I'm afraid I'm not suited to drink today. I'll treat you to drinks another time when it's more appropriate."
If anyone knew Hua Ruocheng, they would probably be shocked to the point of their eyes popping out. After all, this cold-faced devil's wine is not so delicious. How many people in the entire capital have ever drunk with Hua Ruocheng?
Since the other party was determined to leave, Ning Ye naturally did not try to persuade them to stay, but turned around to do his own thing.
After everyone received their share of food, Ning Ye was certain that what he had distributed was enough for them to get through the cold winter and last until the summer and spring harvests of the following year.
However, at this moment, the noise of a group of children caught Ning Ye's attention. In the distance, a group of children were surrounding another child, and it seemed that something was not right.
Ning Ye walked over quickly and saw that the children had already started fighting. However, it was almost as if the group was hitting one of the children, and they were pinning the other child to the ground and beating him.
Although they were just kids, they were the ones who were most reckless when they started fighting. Ning Ye simply rushed forward and separated them.
Seeing the children hitting each other, Ning Ye was not in a hurry. After all, it would be better to be too arbitrary if he didn't find out the truth first.
Of course, Ning Ye, who had been beaten, also protected them behind him. When Ning Ye appeared, the children were still a little scared, after all, they knew that adults were not to be trifled with.
Ning Ye's face showed an unusually serious expression, and even his voice carried a hint of pressure, "Why are you bullying him?"
At this moment, Ning Ye's aura was so overwhelming that even an adult would find it difficult to withstand, let alone these children.
A little child said timidly, "He's just an unwanted bastard, why does he get to eat candy every day?"
Ning Ye immediately glanced at the child behind him. Sure enough, he was one of the best students in the school, but his father had died because he had joined his team.
The mother never appeared from the beginning. Whether she was dead or alive, or simply didn't want to acknowledge the child, no one knew.
For children who become orphans directly like this, Ning Ye naturally couldn't do nothing. He found families to help raise them and provided them with all the necessary things every month.
It could even be said that if this family did nothing and relied solely on this one child, it might be an exaggeration to say they would be well-fed and clothed, but at least they wouldn't go hungry.
So even if some families adopt these children, they treat them like precious treasures, how could they let anyone bully them?
After carefully examining the boy's injuries, Ning Ye realized that he had probably underestimated the situation.
