Chapter 306 People must rely on themselves
"What do you mean by this sentence?"
Ai Yin didn't understand what Hai Lan said very much.
"This is what 'It's not a blessing to lose my horse'. In fact, this sentence is an allusion."
Hai Lan thought for a moment and explained to Ai Yin using a theory that the locals could understand: "That is to say, a long time ago, there was an old man named 'Seweng' who one day lost his horse.
His friend came to comfort him, but this "Seweng" said, who knows that this is not a good thing?
A few days later, the horse that the "Seweng" lost ran back by itself and brought back another horse.
So the meaning of this sentence is that some things may seem like a disaster on the surface, but in fact they may actually be a good thing.”
"Saiweng" originally means classical Chinese, which is "an old man on the frontier".
Of course, Hai Lan couldn't promote classical Chinese to Ai Yin, so he directly simplified "Sai Weng" into a name.
Ai Yin understood the meaning of Hai Lan wanted to express, and she smiled bitterly: "Thank you for saying these words to me. I understand your kindness, but pirates are not a horse, and they cannot bring other treasures to the village."
Ain was feeling troubled by what happened last night.
If I could be more powerful, I wouldn't be knocked unconscious by the pirates. If I could drive away the pirates, the village wouldn't have to suffer such a disaster...
Hai Lan continued: "Didn't you say it yourself during the day? As long as the villagers are not hurt, this is the best result.
Now the village has just been taken away the treasures transported from Kate of the Manniu. No one was injured. This is a blessing in disgrace. The food was not taken away by the pirates. This means that everyone does not have to go hungry. Miss Ain, do you want to bear those treasures?"
"Of course not."
Ain shook his head, "Just you said, this is indeed the best result now, but what about the next time? Who can guarantee that the next pirate will have their own principles?"
Ai Yin, who was talking to Hai Lan, was a little absent-minded, and she was still blaming herself in her heart.
She thought that if she could block all the drunk villagers like Lilith a few days ago, even if she was drunk, as long as she was floating on the water, things would not have turned out to be like this now.
All of this clearly has many development trajectories, but in reality, it has gone to the worst one.
Ai Yin is not good at concealing her emotions. From her expression and tone, Hai Lan can clearly feel that this silly girl's personality is too persistent, and she always takes the responsibility to herself.
If this continues, the increasing pressure on her body will crush her.
After a moment of silence, Hai Lan said, "Actually, I have found those pirates."
Ai Yin suddenly laughed out loud: "I know you are worried that I will be sad and want to make me happy, but such a joke is really bad."
Hai Lan's voice became solemn: "I didn't tease you, I did find these pirates."
The third step in Hailan's plan was to tell one of the people on Xiaomai Island the truth.
