Chapter 131 Zhizhi doesn't like fighting
A group of old men and women behind him were unwilling to let Xiao Taozhi leave easily:
"Yahui, are you leaving now? Why don't you stay and dance for a while?"
"That's right, it's rare to see such a cute little baby, please stay a little longer!"
"Yahui, are you afraid that we might kidnap your little one?"
…
Gao Yahui joked, "Isn't it? This is my Xiao family's little treasure, we have to protect it carefully! I won't say anymore, good children should go to sleep, everyone have fun!"
With that, Gao Yahui carried Xiao Taozhi and left.
-
Xiao family.
Gao Yahui gave Xiao Taozhi a few instructions and went upstairs to change clothes and take a shower.
Xiao Taozhi looked around the living room curiously.
There is a transparent glass window in the living room. Outside the huge window is the Xiao family's back garden. Gao Yahui occasionally plants flowers and plants here to pass the time.
Xiao Taozhi stood on tiptoe, opened the small door and went out.
The air outside is very good, and from time to time you can hear the croaking of frogs and the chirping of cicadas. Staying here makes you feel inexplicably relaxed.
suddenly.
With the light coming from the house, Xiao Taozhi vaguely saw a somewhat hunched figure sitting on the stone steps two steps away.
She quietly approached and tentatively called out, "Grandpa?"
The figure was startled when he heard the voice, and then asked: "Good boy, why are you here?"
Only when he got closer could Xiao Taozhi see the man clearly.
In the darkness, Xiao Hongshun sat casually on the dirty stone steps, completely devoid of the airs of a commander. He held a cigarette in his hand, the crimson sparks flickering, highlighting the wear and tear on his face.
"Grandpa, smoking is not good." Xiao Taozhi sat on the stone steps with Xiao Hongshun, and pointed at the cigarette in Xiao Hongshun's hand with her little finger.
Before, when they were in the Fanluo rainforest, some humans were smoking in the woods and almost caused a fire. Since then, the little guy has had a very bad impression of cigarettes.
Xiao Hongshun chuckled and immediately put out his cigarette, his tone full of doting: "Okay, Grandpa won't smoke."
Back in the army, Xiao Hongshun smoked heavily and developed lung disease, so Gao Yahui had been keeping him under control for years, not letting him touch cigarettes. But the old man couldn't resist the urge and would occasionally smoke in secret.
Xiao Hongshun put the stubbed cigarette into his pocket and said, "Good boy, you must never tell grandma that grandpa smokes."
Xiao Taozhi asked: "Why?"
"With your grandma's violent temper, if she knew I smoked, she would definitely skin me alive!" Xiao Hongshun said seriously.
Tao Zhi frowned: "Is it so serious?"
"Of course!"
Little Taozhi believed it and immediately covered her pink forehead with her hands, "Zhizhi won't tell..."
"So good."
Xiao Hongshun touched Xiao Taozhi's furry little head with satisfaction, then withdrew his hand and looked up at the sky with a sad face.
There are only a few scattered stars in the inky deep sky.
"Grandpa, are you in trouble?" The little elbows were resting on the thighs, and the chubby little hands were supporting the cheeks.
Xiao Hongshun didn't expect the little guy to ask this. He was stunned for a moment before nodding: "Yes."
"Grandpa, can you tell Zhizhi? Zhizhi is very smart and can help grandpa!" The sweet voice is full of childishness and has the innocence that only children have.
Xiao Hongshun smiled.
When it comes to national affairs, how can this little guy help?
Xiao Hongshun thought for a moment and made up a story: "There are many animals on the grassland. One day, a very precious gem suddenly appeared in front of the cave of a bear and a tiger. The bear and the tiger both wanted it. What do you think they should do?"
A year ago, a new type of energy fuel was suddenly unearthed at the border between the Caster Empire and the Moride Empire. It had low consumption, little harm, and released huge amounts of energy. Neither Caster nor Moride wanted to give up this piece of cake, and the two countries have been deadlocked to this day.
Recently, there have even been thoughts of using force.
But once a war breaks out, it will cause great suffering to the people, and the victims will definitely be innocent civilians.
Xiao Hongshun was troubled by this for a long time.
"Grandpa, the method is actually very simple." Xiao Taozhi's clear deer eyes looked particularly bright in the dark night.
Xiao Hongshun: "What method?"
The little guy said casually, "Just split the gem in half, give half to Xiong Xiong and half to Xiao Nao Hu, wouldn't that be fine?"
Xiao Hongshun's straight back froze instantly.
Yes, it seems that he has never thought about negotiation.
But in the face of such tempting benefits, who would choose to give in?
Xiao Hongshun sighed deeply and spoke earnestly, "Good boy, people are very selfish. Often they only want to keep things to themselves and not share with others."
Little Taozhi scratched his head: "Grandpa, Zhizhi doesn't understand."
It’s so hard to be a human, it’s better to be a monster!
"You'll understand when you grow up." Xiao Hongshun said with a smile.
Xiao Taozhi tilted her head and frowned her pretty little eyebrows.
Do we have to understand such complicated things when we grow up?
At this moment, the little guy suddenly didn't want to grow up.
"Grandpa, if Xiongxiong and Xiaonaohu are unwilling to share the gems with each other, will they quarrel?" Xiao Taozhi asked worriedly.
"Not only will they argue, they'll fight."
The Caster Empire and the Moride Empire are equally powerful. If a war really breaks out, it is still unknown who will win or lose, but the innocent people will definitely be the ones who pay the highest price.
"Won't that hurt other small animals?"
When little Taozhi was in the Fanluo Rain Forest, he saw wild beasts fighting. It was very bloody and brutal, leaving a big shadow on the little guy's young mind.
But the most terrifying thing was not the fight between animals, but the moment when the Fanluo Rain Forest was destroyed.
She remembered that it was a sunny and windy day, and there were little birds perched on the branches chirping and singing.
But suddenly, a huge iron egg fell into the forest. The next second, there was a loud boom, and a bright mushroom cloud rose in the sky. Wherever the cloud rolled, no grass grew...
The white-bearded old man who saved her life said that this is called "war" or "fighting" among humans.
It was war that destroyed her home and took the lives of her family.
"grandfather."
Little Taozhi's eyes were red as she leaned closer to Xiao Hongshun's hand.
Xiao Hongshun patted her, "What's wrong?"
"Zhizhi doesn't like fighting..."
In war, people will cry, bleed, and die...
“No one likes war.”
Little Taozhi didn't understand: "If no one likes it, then why bother fighting?"
"Because people's greed will continue to grow, they are not satisfied with what they have now and will go back to rob others, using violent means such as war to seize them."
"Only when a country becomes strong can it resist foreign enemies and protect its people from being harassed."
Little Taozhi cursed softly, "Anyone who steals other people's things is really a bandit and a bad guy!"
