Chapter 1577 My heart hurts
I can't remember clearly whether it was when I was a teenager, but one time the young master came to see her during the day, so they went to the mountains together, climbed some mountains, and dug some wild vegetables to make dumplings.
When they were going down the mountain, they met a wounded rabbit on the hillside.
The rabbit was lying in the grass, dying. It looked so thin and pitiful. She really wanted to save it.
But the young master said that the strong prey on the weak, this is the law of nature. It is so weak that even if it is cured, it will sooner or later become a meal for jackals and wild dogs.
She immediately asked the young master, "If that's the case, why did you save me in the first place? I'm also very weak, why didn't you just let me fend for myself and be eliminated by nature?"
The young master said, that’s different.
She asked again, how is it different? If the law of the world is that the strong will inevitably swallow up the weak, and the weak are destined to have only one fate, then weak people like her should die early, right?
The young master was speechless.
She was very excited that day and felt that she was similar to the rabbit, equally pitiful and wanted to survive.
The young master's remarks were difficult for her to accept.
So she straightened her back, stood in front of the young master, and told him with confidence: You can't just watch the rabbit die because it will be eaten in the next second. There are many people in the world who have no ability to resist like Xiaojiu, and those so-called strong people can't bully us just because we are weak and easy to bully, nor can they despise our lives just because we are ordinary and insignificant.
She seldom quarreled with the young master, but she cried at the end of the conversation that day because she had not expected the young master to be so hard-hearted, and she was even more unwilling to accept the fate of being at the mercy of others.
After she finished speaking, the young master looked at her coldly and said, "It's up to you." Then he walked forward alone.
Later, Su Jiuyao put the injured rabbit into her bag.
She walked slowly and the young master did not wait for her. As the sky gradually darkened, she looked up and found that the young master had gone far away and could no longer be seen.
But after walking a little further, he saw the young master coming back.
He took the backpack from her and put it on his shoulder, saying, "Anyway, I'll stew it when I get it back to nourish you."
She was so angry that she ignored the young master all the way.
After returning, she was always worried that the rabbit had been stewed, but the fact was that the young master not only did not stew the rabbit, but also helped her cure the rabbit and finally released it back into the mountains.
On the day of releasing the rabbit, she asked the young master, isn't it said that the strong prey on the weak? Why did you save the rabbit?
The young master put the rabbit on the ground, smoothed its ears, and said to her: "It is true that the strong prey on the weak in the animal world, but we are human beings, and humans should have different choices from animals. Thank you, Xiaojiu, for making me realize that I am still a human being."
When the memories of the past replayed in her mind, Su Jiuyao realized that everything was as clear as yesterday.
She even remembered the tenderness in the young master's eyes when he put the rabbit on the ground, and he also remembered what he said to the little rabbit later: "Be smarter in the future, don't get hurt again, and don't waste our Xiaojiu's kindness."
Now, Su Jiuyao has learned about the young master's past experiences and finally understood why he was so extreme at that time.
Perhaps, it was the firm belief that being strong would make one invincible that allowed him to grit his teeth and persevere through so many difficult days?
Just as I was lost in thought, I heard Gu Hanye coughing.
He coughed, covered his chest, frowned, and looked very painful.
"What's wrong with you? Did I touch your wound?"
Gu Hanye had been leaning on the hospital bed, but he had just hugged her, and Su Jiuyao was worried that she had accidentally hurt him.
Gu Hanye shook his head: "No, my heart just hurts a little."
