Chapter 1615: Destiny

Creak creak.

Under the light, Father Miro threw a handful of beans into a container, and then carefully ground them with tools. After a while, a scent wafted through the room. Angeloni took a few breaths. This was a fragrance she had never smelled before. When she opened the door and entered the room, she said that she had a problem and wanted to ask Milo, but this time she didn't seem in a hurry, and even looked at it curiously. Milo's work. Soon, the beans were ground into powder. Miro put the powder into two cups respectively, poured hot water and stirred, and the aroma became stronger. Milo walked into the kitchen and brought a jar a moment later. Lift the lid off and scoop out a spoonful of the milky liquid into a glass. The white liquid is mixed with the dark water, which intensifies the fragrance.

"This is?" Angeloni couldn't help asking as Miro handed over one of the drinks.

"This is called coffee, try it." Milo sat down on the wicker chair with a cup of coffee, and took a sip.

Angeloni tried to take a sip, but it tasted bitter. But soon, the bitterness turned into a strong aroma, and the spirit was shocked: "Coffee? There is such a drink in this world, and it's the first time I drink it."

"This world, or this universe is incomparably vast. There are always novel things existing or happening in every corner, and it is not surprising to see new things occasionally." Milo took another sip before asking: "Okay, how about you?" What's the problem, you have to visit late at night."

Angeloni held the cup in her palm, and the fragrance lingered in front of her nose. This feeling made her very comfortable. Smelling this strong fragrance, it seemed that the exhaustion from a long day's journey had disappeared. She adjusted her sitting posture, and said, "As you said, Father. This world is indeed very vast, and new things happen at any time, and it is precisely because of this that life is so beautiful and precious."

"It sounds like your problem is related to life? If you want to discuss this topic, I think it is more appropriate to talk about it tomorrow. After all, this topic is extremely broad. Even if you talk about it for three days and three nights, you may not be able to talk about it." Over." Milo said.

"That's not necessary." Angeloni thought for a while and said, "Father, do you believe in fate?"

"Of course I do."

"What do you think fate is?"

Milo narrowed his eyes and flashed a wise smile. If Allen was here, he would be very surprised, because he would never believe that a guy who regards money as his life would laugh so wisely. At this moment, Milo is not a priest at all, but more like a pope who has broken the world.

"Fate is a thread." Milo rubbed his two fingers, as if there was an invisible thread between his fingers: "One end of the thread is connected to us, and the other end of the thread is in the hands of the heavenly father." .”

"You mean, our fate is determined by the gods?" Angeloni asked.

Milo shook his head and said: "That depends on what kind of existence you think the gods are? In my opinion, the gods are a kind of power, a kind of rule. They have existed since the beginning of the universe, and everything is here. Therefore, our destiny is also in it. The water flows to the bottom, and the fish cannot jump into the blue sky. This is the rule, and it is also the fate of the water flow and the fish."

"Water currents can't go to high places, and fish can't jump into the blue sky, so their fate has been decided from the beginning, and it can't be changed?" Angeloni said: "What about that person?"

Milo watched her, carefully. He rubbed the cup lightly with his hands, the hot air from the cup of coffee outlined unpredictable patterns in the air. The priest said after a long time: "I really want to tell you that man can conquer nature. But in fact, how many people can really change their destiny. A person's destiny, from the moment of birth, has already determined the general trajectory of his life. For example, children born in peasant families and children born in aristocratic families, their destiny trajectory can be roughly seen clearly by those who are a little sober. Children from peasant families may eventually be able to walk out of their families through their own efforts. That background, he would leave the country,

Go to the big city. Through your own efforts, you can get a good job and get rid of the fate of being a farmer. But does this really change fate? Because he was born in a farming family, that environment has already determined his knowledge, the people he contacts, and the knowledge he can learn. He might make a good baker, or a good seamstress, or even a tax collector. But it must be difficult for him to become a nobleman, why, because he did not grow up in that environment. He doesn't know what art is, and he doesn't know what high society is. He has no access to princes and high officials, and he doesn't know horse riding and swordsmanship. Of course you would say that all of this can be learned, but there are some things that even the smartest people can only learn and ignore. You have to know that there are many things that require the accumulation of foundation, and the children of peasant families just lack that kind of foundation. "

"But there are billions of creatures in the universe, so no one can jump out of the long line of fate at birth?" Angeloni asked.

Milo sighed: "Yes, but very little. And even if the fate is changed, the price to pay will never be small. And after the change, will the new fate really suit him? Or, he just started from One line just jumped into another line. Or, in the eyes of the gods, that new line of fate is his real destiny. Then, has he really changed? Or, all of this It's still fate."

Angeloni shook her head and said, "If that's the case, then what's the point of our being alive, to be puppets of fate, to be actors on stage in the eyes of the gods?"

"Miss, you must know that the meaning of life is different for everyone. For the king, the meaning of his life is to govern his country well and ensure that his descendants can sit on the throne; for farmers, perhaps his The meaning is to plant your own one-third of an acre of land. Do you expect the king to plant the land and the farmers to govern the country?"

"Okay, Father. Then I will ask one last question." Angeloni gritted her teeth: "If there is a person, you will die if you go to see him. If you don't see him, you have a chance to live, so do you choose to meet or Are you missing?"

Miro sat up slightly: "I don't have an answer to this question, but I want to ask you, are you sure that if you don't go to see him, he won't see you? If you and him are connected by fate, then no matter you How to choose, in the end, because of this line, both of them will inevitably meet. If only one person can live on the two ends of fate, then no matter whether you see or not, in the end, only one person will live.”

"What if I want to break my fate?" Angeloni's eyes sparkled.

Milo looked at her, and said calmly: "Then first, you have to feel the boundaries of fate."

Angeloni was shocked.
