I didn’t know what to say anymore, so I smoked silently.
Then the old man looked up at me and stared at me for a long time.
Righteousness, which one will you choose?”
"Why is it so difficult?
There are many examples of both loyalty and justice."
I looked at the old man in surprise.
"Those are all written in books.
It is better to believe in no books than to have no books.
For example, Emperor Guan was loyal to Liu Bei, but Cao Cao was also good to him.
Of course, these are also legends.
What are the specifics?
Then everyone can I don't know."
The old man looked at me again and asked: "Since this topic is so difficult to answer, let me ask you a simple question.
In your opinion, are these five tiger generals good people or bad people?"
"A good man."
I answered without thinking, but as soon as I said the words, I saw the smile on the old man's face.
Then I thought about it, and it seemed that was not the case, so I thought about it and said: "It seems that it is not good or bad. , it can only be said that each one is his own master.”
"That's right."
The old man opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Each one is his own master.
The author of the Three Kingdoms is from the Shu Kingdom, so we were brought in, and subjectively we followed the Shu Kingdom. , but in fact, it cannot be said to be good or bad.
One general can achieve the results with thousands of bones.
The achievements of these five tiger generals were achieved by accumulating many bones.
None of their hands is stained with blood, so it cannot be said to be good or bad. , it can only be said that the positions are different.”
"Uncle, why are you asking me this question?"
I held the cigarette and looked at the uncle.
"No, didn't you say you like the Three Kingdoms, so I'll discuss it with you."
The old man said with a smile, his face covered with wrinkles.
"Oh."
So that's it.
I put the cigarette into my mouth and took another puff.
"So you can't look at everything one-sidedly.
If you look at it from multiple directions and angles, the nature of the matter will be completely different.
Cao Cao is a tycoon, but his purpose is very strong.
Although his methods are also extreme, if you stand in From his perspective, he was right to do that.
Are you saying that he doesn’t cherish talents?
No, look, when Guan Yu was in Wei, Cao Cao was How to treat him?
When Zhao Zilong was trapped in the crowd of thousands of troops, he ordered not to hurt him but to capture him alive because he wanted to use him for his own use.
This was the same as Liu Bei, and Cao Cao also had There are many capable people and strangers, so after a TV series, Cao Cao became a bad guy in everyone's mind."
After the old man finished speaking, he chuckled.
"Then you are serving in the Guandi Temple.
What you worship in your heart is Cao Cao.
It would be strange if Guandi is not angry."
I joked.
"In other words, I am discussing the Three Kingdoms with you objectively."
The old man sighed and said, "When the theater troupe was here, every night after the performance, I would chat with them for several hours until late at night before going to bed. , sometimes I can’t sleep at night because of the fierce arguments due to different opinions.”

I burst out laughing.
These old guys were really interesting.
I said, "That's not necessary.
You are too serious."
"That's not me being serious.
I also said that everyone expresses his or her own opinion.
Everyone has their own opinion.
I say my opinion, and you say yours.
If you have different opinions, you have to argue, but you can't impose your own ideas on others. , do you think so?"
the old man said.
"Yes."
I think the old man is right.
"Just like talking about the past, that is, in our era, everyone lived for one thing every day, and that was to find food so that they could continue to live.
When these five people came to Guandi Temple to seek refuge with me, they followed I told them about their past involvement in the world.
They said they robbed the rich and gave to the poor, but they had never committed any murders or arson.
They made money but didn't kill anyone.
I asked them what they were doing, and they said they were just trying to sell puppet shows without robbing or stealing, but all the money they got was given to the poor.
"The old man sighed and said, "I did.
I went to inquire about it at that time and found out that these five people were in the entertainment industry, but they had a good reputation and the proceeds from each performance were distributed to the poor. " I was secretly surprised that these five people actually said this to this old man.
As for this matter, my grandfather just told me that it seems that the caliber is the same, so it must be true.
The old man continued: "They asked me whether they were acting righteously or unjustly by buying and selling by force, robbing the rich and giving to the poor."
With a grunt, I swallowed, thought for a while and said, "Be just to the poor, but not to the rich who were robbed."
"That's right.
I am also a poor person.
I see it from a poor person's point of view, so I think they are being righteous, so I let them stay here to perform."
The old man shrugged.
I looked at the old man and couldn’t tell what I was feeling.
What these Five Tigers did was spread diseases, but this was just a way to rob the rich and help the poor.
But did they ever hurt anyone?
If it is true as the old man said, he only spreads diseases to make money and has not killed anyone, then I think it can be forgiven.
They only told the old man about forced buying and selling, and they definitely didn't talk about spreading the disease.
If so, how can we explain whether they were responsible for spreading the plague this time?
I looked at the old man.
The cigarette in his hand was burned out.
I quickly took out another cigarette and handed him another cigarette.
The old man took it with both hands, very politely.
My eyes lit up, and I suddenly discovered a detail.
The old man's fingertips had deeply sunken cracks on them, especially the index fingers of his left and right hands.
A human's index finger has three joints, but his seemed to me to have four joints. , just because of that deep dent.
My heart was pounding, but I didn't show it.
How could I explain the dents on this old man's fingers?
Only those who perform puppet performances all year round would develop such dents over time, like a deep wound.
Could it be that this old man's fingers were like a deep wound?
He also performs puppet shows But thinking about it on the other hand, it is not impossible that the Five Tigers have been living with the old man for so many years, communicating and chatting every day, learning puppetry, and even helping with performances.
While I was hesitating and pondering, my eyes inadvertently glanced at the bottom of the two pillars, where the couplet was written.

The pillars are made of wood, and the floor is not a cement floor, but a lumpy earth, which is uneven.
The wood has been stuck in the soil for many years.
There is moisture in the soil, so the bottom is corroded a bit seriously, and there is a circle of rot on the outside.
The pillars look like It is an inverted cone type.
Then the rotten wood will grow some fungi, such as fungus and mushrooms.
At this moment, some white fungi are growing at the bottom of the pillar.
Although they are not long, they are just a few white fungi.
If you don't pay attention, you won't notice them at all.
But I really know these fungi.
They are neither fungus nor mushrooms, but mushrooms.
What is corpse mushroom?
It’s a fungus that grows on coffins and corpses.
There are two kinds of things that usually grow on corpses.
One is corpse mushroom, and the other is this corpse mushroom.
If I hadn’t been a bone picker, I would have done it.
I also encountered this kind of thing in my coffin, and I was really kept a secret from it
