Chapter 1371

Although Leng Zongzheng had a residence in the college, the place Zhou Wen went to this time was not in the college, but in a small courtyard in the old district of Luoyang City.

The small yard is very common, because it's very humid nearby, moss grows at the root of the wall, and there are many plants like Parthenocissus on the wall.

Inside the house is also a common red brick structure, although cleaned very clean, but it is difficult to hide the traces of time, some of the bricks on the wall have signs of weathering.

"Principal Leng, this is Zhou Wen. Are you at home?" Zhou Wen knocks on the door.

"Come in." Leng Zongzheng's voice came out of the room. When Zhou Wen pushed the door in, Leng Zongzheng moved a cactus out of the room.

"Principal Leng, is this your home?" Zhou Wen looked inside the room as if, and saw that all kinds of decorations were out of date, but they were not ancient, giving people a sense of mediocrity and shabby.

This is quite different from Leng Zongzheng's feeling to Zhou Wen. Leng Zongzheng is a bit aristocratic no matter in appearance or behavior, and his soul is something that looks very grand like the throne of magic zither. Therefore, people always feel that Leng Zongzheng is a person who pays great attention to the quality and details of life and should not live in such a mediocre home.

In this courtyard, Zhou Wengen couldn't see a special thing. What he saw was some household goods, and even a lot of stalls.

"I lived here when I was a child. This is my grandfather's old house." Leng Zongzheng put the cactus next to him, patted the dust on his hands, and continued: "before, I didn't like it very much. I always felt that I had to stand out, live in a beautiful big house, and live like a person. But later, I don't know when, I suddenly felt that it was comfortable to live here, so I moved back. "

"You're going back to the basics, aren't you?" Zhou Wen said.

Leng Zongzheng took a look at Zhou Wen, turned his lips and said, "what is return to simplicity? To put it bluntly, it means that if you eat too much braised meat, you want to eat some green vegetables to relieve the boredom. I haven't reached that point. I haven't tasted many good things and I'm not tired of them. "

Then lengzong sat down on the wooden stool in the yard, basking in the sun, and continued: "I have thought about why I want to move back. In terms of comfort, this place is certainly not as convenient as any place I have lived in. If the environment is good enough and quiet, it's far less than the villa I bought before. The neighbors here are nice and humane. In fact, it's not. There's no one here any more. The old neighbors have long disappeared. Even if they are still there, I don't have a good impression on them. I don't like them in my heart. "

"Then why do you like living here?" Zhou Wen asked curiously.

"I've been thinking about this for a long time, and I've decided that I like living here because I'm afraid." Said Leng Zongzheng.

"Afraid?" Zhou Wen was even more puzzled.

If we talk about the security, it's far worse than the college. There's no defense measures at all. It's a dilapidated old city. If you come to any fear level, you can destroy it with one hand.

"Yes, afraid." Leng Zongzheng said: "people are afraid of death, but the degree is different. Some people put the fear of death in the first place, while some people put the fear of death behind some things, so when they encounter some things, they will appear not afraid of death. But in fact, no one is not afraid of death, but he has encountered some things that make him more afraid than death, so it is not so important to die. "

As Leng Zongzheng said, he took out a lighter and a cigarette from his arms, expertly popped out a cigarette, held it in his mouth, lit it, then sipped it, closed his eyes, and seemed to enjoy it.

Zhou Wen looked at Leng Zongzheng in a dazed way, which was quite different from his usual impression. If he didn't know it was Leng Zongzheng, he thought it was a decadent middle-aged uncle who liked gambling and drinking.

After a while, Leng Zongzheng closed his eyes and continued to bask in the sun: "later, I thought carefully that my fear of death should be ranked in the third place. Before death, there are two things before death. If there are two things to choose, I would rather choose death."

"Are you here because you are afraid of those two things?" Zhou Wen asked.

Who knows, Leng Zongzheng shook his head and said, "no, those two things have happened."

Zhou Wen looked at Leng Zongzheng, not knowing what he wanted to say.

Leng continued: "before, I was very afraid that I would become like my parents, but now, I am no different from them in essence. I used to be afraid that my grandfather would leave me, then I would be left alone in the world, but that day still came. I live here because I'm afraid of loneliness, but in fact, I've always been alone

Zhou Wen didn't know what to say. Leng Zongzheng once had some flash ideas about what he said, but he didn't understand it as clearly as Leng Zongzheng thought.

However, looking at Leng Zongzheng, Zhou Wen felt that this cold principal did not seem as difficult to get along with as he had imagined.

Leng Zongzheng took another sip of the cigarette, pressed the remaining half of the cigarette on the side of the concrete flower bed, put out the spark, and reached for the trash can.

"Living here will make me feel a sense of security. I feel that this is my little world. As long as I hide here, I don't need to worry about anything or worry about anything. As long as I sleep, it seems that anything bad will disappear by myself."

Speaking of this, Leng Zongzheng laughed at himself: "but in fact, nothing can be solved. It's just self deception."

"It can't be said that people need a piece of pure land in their hearts, so that their hearts can be cultivated and restored. Maybe it doesn't really help you to solve problems here, but it's very important for you to have peace of mind and be able to face those problems with a calm mind. " Zhou wenzhengrong said.

"You're right." Leng Zongzheng said, suddenly stretched out his hand and pressed it on the wall next to him. The whole courtyard and house broke up in an instant and turned into pieces.

"You... What's this for..." standing in the middle of the ruins, the gravel around him kept rising. Zhou Wen looked at Leng Zongzheng blankly, and didn't know why he did it.

Among the fragments, Leng Zongzheng turned to leave and said: "as you said, there is a pure land of self escape in everyone's heart, which is a place of fear closer to the heart than death. If one day, you meet an enemy who does not put the fear of death in the first place, then you should think about how to find his pure land and kill people. Sometimes, killing people is more terrible than killing people. You are good at everything, but you are too kind. Sometimes, kindness is a sin

"Kill... Kill the heart..." Zhou Wen stood in the ruins, looking at Leng Zongzheng's back, there seemed to be some emotion surging in his heart.
