Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 3089 (Three Thousand and Eighty-Nine) Persistence
"Okay! Thank you, Elder Tie, for giving me this opportunity! Then I will... not think about anything else, I will continue now!" Li Pingrun said, "I have sacrificed my sister's life, I really don't know why this happened! In fact, I am not the only one who wants to work for the powerful people in the Tiecang tribe. Why can't I do this? Why can't I have such a dream? If a person wants to do something, sometimes he must be persistent enough to accomplish it. I have this persistence and I work hard to move towards my dream. However, from the beginning, that road was not suitable for me. The harder I work, the closer I am to the bad results later. But if I didn't have such persistence, I wouldn't be able to see the things that happened later... From the beginning, I was sure that the road I chose was right. It is difficult to let go of things that have been done all the time, and it is even more difficult to let go when I am sure that I am right to take that road. When people are persistent, it is not easy for other voices to enter their hearts. Now that I am wrong, other voices have entered my heart, what can I do? In fact, until today, I still don't understand why I am not suitable for working for the powerful people in the Tiecang tribe, and why others do this, so it's okay."

Tie Jinjue did not speak immediately, but continued to look at him and listen to what he said.

Li Pingrun said, "I really want to know why I can't do this. I asked my master, but he didn't tell me. In fact, even if everything before was just a dream, I still want an answer when I wake up, but I don't know where to find it. I even thought that I had been doing those things seriously for my dream. Even if someone told me that I was on the wrong path, I never gave up. That was a kind of persistence that made it easy for me to get close to my dream. Now that I've woken up from the dream, I want an answer. Is this another kind of persistence? What is the purpose of this persistence? What will happen if I persist? If I don't understand, will I fall into a kind of pain that I can't figure out? If I understand, will I be sad because I know but can't change anything?"

Li Pingrun sighed again.

Tie Jinjue said: "Some things, if thinking about them is useless, why not think about them?"

"Don't think about it..." Li Pingrun said, "Don't think about it..."

Tie Jinjue could see that Li Pingrun seemed to be saying that it was too difficult not to think about it. He knew that he was not him and could not fully understand his feelings, so he did not say anything immediately.

Li Pingrun first said: "Elder Tie is right... right... don't think about it... Yeah, yes, if you don't think about some things, you may feel much better... but... how easy is that?"

Li Pingrun looked at Tie Jinjue's table and found that the tabletop was a little shiny. He pointed at the table and said, "If the heart could be as smooth as the tabletop, then some memories could be pushed under the table with a gentle push? However, my heart is as rugged as a mountain road..."

He shook his head again and said to Tie Jinjue, "Elder Tie, I have said almost everything. I will not talk about this any more. I want to ask, did Geng Mi say anything important before he passed away?"

Tie Jinjue said, "Yes, I wanted to tell you just now. She asked you to open a pocket sewn on the side of the child's clothes. She left a letter for you."
