Continuation of "Gone with the Wind"

Chapter 58 Love Notes

She didn't notice that her thoughts had deviated from the original purpose of this conversation, and she didn't realize it until Jack began to speak again, "The third point, Mr. Ritter began to think that I was sent by you, and would not agree to anything." Tell me." When he said this, he showed a wry smile. Yesterday, Mr. Ritter thought he was a spy sent by Miss Scarlett. Today, Miss Scarlett thought he was a spy left behind by Mr. Ritter. He was completely loyal. But inexplicably became a double agent, which is really worse than Dou E. "Later he ordered a bottle of champagne for me. The two of us drank a glass and chatted while drinking. It's that simple." He said it so simple, but he knew in his heart that yesterday he was Fei It took a lot of effort to get out Mr. Ritter's truth, and today he thought of a lot of tricks to make Miss Scarlett say what was in his heart. It's really not easy for me.But to be honest, he was also taken aback when he saw Mr. Rhett. He really didn't know where he came from. Maybe it was God's arrangement.But Miss Scarlett won't believe what he said, so let's say it like this: "In the end, I just think that with your personality, the more people don't allow you to do things, the more you want to do them, so please be more aggressive than generals, otherwise you will Can’t you hear what’s on your mind? As for when Mr. Rhett came, I really don’t know, you have to ask him.” It’s really easy to shift the responsibility to others, even though the person involved is not here, At least I won't suffer from cross-examination anymore.He said so, what else can Miss Scarlett do, go to the north and ask Mr. Ritter clearly?

Sure enough, Scarlett still showed disbelief after hearing his explanation, but she didn't continue to ask, but waved him lightly to let him leave.Jack secretly breathed a sigh of relief, said goodbye to her and went upstairs immediately, hoping that he hadn't forgotten what he remembered at breakfast and had plans for the next step.But it seems that there should be no need to draw up any more plans. Anyway, they both opened their hearts - although not to each other but to him, but he also tried his best to convey the other's heart to them - it was only a matter of time before they got together again. Or thought problems.Some things are just like this, they are obviously very simple, but people always think about it to be complicated, but as long as you peel off the appearance and see the essence, then you can think clearly.He wanted to laugh when he thought of the last sentence in the thing he asked Paul to give to Mr. Rhett. Although the threat seemed childish, Mr. Rhett was a very smart person and would definitely understand what he meant.Even if it really can't work, the big deal is that in the end, I will do it just as he swore, anyway, I have plenty of time.As for money, as long as he wants to make money, it must be indispensable.

Spreading out the thinner and thinner notebook, he was not in a hurry to write, but first checked the one he wrote after drinking yesterday and tore it out.I don't know what Mr. Ritter's expression will be when he sees it, it must be very interesting.It's just that he himself forgot how the things he wrote when he was drunk, he hoped it wouldn't be too ugly, otherwise Mr. Reiter would be wasting his work if he couldn't understand it after reading it for a long time.Well, everything is handed over to others, it is useless to think about it, let's think about our own memory.He jotted down succinctly what he remembered, and what he hadn't remembered so far, such as the names of the kind old couple he couldn't remember, and how he left Hartford. Yes, how did he pass out in front of the Charleston Abbey? The time in between was probably close to a year. Where did he go?Most importantly, why did I leave there?That period of life was the luckiest period of his life. He was like a traveler who had trekked in the desert for too long—in fact, a wanderer—and stumbled across a safe and beautiful oasis.He lived well there, but was suddenly uprooted by a mysterious force, and was forced to go on the road again without caring about licking his wounds.It's just that what is waiting in front of me is no longer a hopeless desert, but a primeval forest where opportunities and challenges coexist.He may encounter poisonous snakes and beasts, but he may also find mysterious treasures.

But he also knew that if he could choose, he would rather stay in that oasis for the rest of his life, even though he also knew it was impossible.When I first came here, I made it very clear that they will study abroad for 15 years. After the expiration, they will be sent back to China in full, and their knowledge, time, and even their lives will be returned in full to "enhance our national prestige in the Qing Dynasty". , a bucket of dazzling gold paint on the façade of a crumbling dynasty, nothing more.If you think about it this way, maybe this kind of life is better now.People don't have much choice, they can only let fate choose themselves, and then adapt to this overbearing choice by changing themselves.He can't go back, he has to look forward.

After writing these, he did not stop writing.After a little thought, a few strange derivations appeared on the paper. The basic content was the same as the eloquent argument he wrote yesterday. On the contrary, he felt that today's expressions were of a higher level, concise and to the point.It seems that I can no longer drink alcohol in the future, it will affect my thinking and expression, and it is easy to talk nonsense.

Virtue soaked in water—Rett (virtue after falling into the water is difficult to salvage. Even if it is salvaged, it is often damaged beyond recognition and cannot be restored to its original state) so it does not hold water.So, a gentleman can’t do it anymore (even if he can barely do it, it’s not his character. How did he say yesterday, “I’m not the one who wrongs myself, generally speaking, I only let others suffer).

Age - Rhett (I'm not young, what I need is stability and peace) Generally speaking, Americans like to look young in front of others. Since he said that, it seems that he was deeply hurt.Then he said that some things have nothing to do with age, but with state of mind. People who have experienced a lot often long for peace.Which sentence is his real thought?Maybe both.

What defeated him was nothing but time.But some things will not be defeated by time, they can obviously exist longer than time, just like love.When writing this point, Jack suddenly remembered a sentence he had heard by accident when he was listening to the pastor in church, and he has never forgotten that sentence: God created love before creating the world.

These two points are not too small, but when Jack thought of his Wanyan book yesterday, there should be more than these two points.Mr. Rhett has a lot of problems, which are not so curable. What else did he write?By the way, there are also the "twelve oak trees" and "mirror". He overturned his inherent conclusions one by one.In the end, he seemed to give Ritter an evaluation, saying that he was a leopard. Thinking about it now, this metaphor is quite appropriate. "A real leopard, even if its pattern fades, its teeth are pulled out, and its claws are smoothed, it is still proud, because it will always have a proud heart and an unruly soul."But there is one more sentence that makes him stupid. Didn't he say that Miss Scarlett is a cat, so he took advantage of the drunkenness to establish an inexplicable connection between them: Biologically speaking, leopards also belong to the cat family.

After Rhett's side was settled, he began to analyze Scarlett.Originally, he thought it would be easier than convincing Rhett, but when he really started to write, he realized that it was really difficult.As for Mr. Reiter, he only needs to use the spear of the son to attack the shield of the son. Anyway, although his words are wise, there are still many contradictions. He just needs to point them out so that he can see clearly, and he will make the choice for the rest. ; but for Miss Scarlett, although he knew what kind of person she was, he didn't know how to judge her.Even if you know what kind of person the other person is, you can't say that you really understand him.It's ironic that I didn't expect to fall into this vicious circle.Later, he didn't know whether it was the effect of alcohol or something else, but he still started writing.It seems that the writing is rather chaotic, and many sentences are written into words without even thinking about it. I hope Mr. Ritter will not be able to read it.He dipped in the ink again and busied himself with the paper.

Ashley-Scarlett, I don't know what to say about the relationship between these two people.It was clear from the papers that Mr. Ashley regretted the harm he had done to Miss Scarlett, but he was not entirely to blame.In fact, Miss Scarlett is right. A little girl always has an instinctive yearning for beautiful things. In fact, her infatuation with Ashley is a rare pure emotion in the world. No one is qualified to laugh at it. Even Mr. Ritter also can not.It's a pity that beauty is always an illusion. Distance produces illusions, and illusions produce beauty.If she had really understood Ashley, she would not love him.In other words, she only saw the good side of Mr. Ashley and the not-so-good side of Mr. Rhett, otherwise it wouldn't be the result now.In fact, Mr. Rhett also has the same problem. He only saw the selfishness and willfulness in Miss Scarlett, but failed to see the good qualities in her.But since he can tolerate the other party's shortcomings, other things are naturally out of the question.From this point of view, they are really a match made in heaven.Even though it was written like this, Jack didn't know any good qualities in Scarlett.It's just that he admires her persistence and enthusiasm.A person without these two things is definitely not a good person, at best a hypocrite.Besides, at least Miss Scarlett was a sincere person, at least very real.
