【Jin Yong·The Condor Heroes】How to punish Guo Fu who chopped Yang Guo's arm?

Guo Fu cut off Yang Guo's arm angrily, Guo Jing was very angry about it, and wanted to cut off Guo Fu's arm, but Huang Rong disagreed and fled with Guo Fu. I have been thinking recently, how should I punish Guo Fu who made a big mistake?

Regarding how to punish Guo Fu, the story can be roughly divided into two factions. One faction is the Chopping Hand faction, which advocates an arm for an arm. There are two people in this faction, one is Guo Fu's father Guo Jing, and the other is Yang Guo's confidante Lu Wushuang. The two people not only think about it, but also put it into action. Guo Jing wanted to cut Guo Fu's arm, but was stopped by Huang Rong; Lu Wushuang wanted to use Gongsun Zhi's hand to cut it, but was stopped by the soft hedgehog armor, but Guo Fu's arm was saved.

The other faction is the "hand protection faction". The people in this faction include Huang Rong, Cheng Ying, and Guo Fu herself. Yang Guo was originally the "hand cutting faction", but he couldn't bear to attack, so he should be classified as the "hand guarding faction". . Although guarding hands, each person also has different scales for punishment. Huang Rong felt that it was enough to let her husband beat Guo Fu and let her anger out; Cheng Ying didn't write what she wanted to do to Guo Fu; Yang Guo robbed Guo Xiang (and returned it later). Guo Fu herself thought that Yang Guo had bent her sword, and it was not enough to accompany her. If she was scolded by her parents, it was enough. It would be wrong for others to scold her.

If Guo Fu's actions could be saved, maybe so many people wouldn't hate her, but if her arm was chopped off, she wouldn't grow back. In other words, she committed an irreversible catastrophe that made Yang Guo become "Disabled person". When Huang Rong stopped Guo Jing from beheading Guo Fu's arm, she felt that Yang Guo wanted to take Guo Xiang to the Valley of Heartbreak in exchange for the antidote, but later learned that Yang Guo not only did not want to exchange Guo Xiang for the antidote, but saved Guo Xiang regardless of her own safety. If Huang Rong had known about this earlier, would she have stopped Guo Jing? Personally, I think it will. Huang Rong loved her daughter almost blindly. Even if she knew that Yang Guo had no ill intentions, she was still reluctant to let her daughter be hurt.

Guo Fu reacted with fear when Guo Jing wanted to chop off her arm, and was extremely dissatisfied with Lu Wushuang's desire to take revenge on Yang Guo. When Guo Fu and Gongsun Zhi were fighting, Lu Wushuang once told Guo Fu to raise his right arm to block. If Guo Fu did not wear soft hedgehog armor, Gongsun Zhi would cut off his right arm. . Later, Guo Fu knew that Lu Wushuang was not out of kindness, but wanted to avenge Yang Guo and hated her. When Lu Wushuang "reminds" Guo Fu, Huang Rong was also there. I wonder what she thinks of Lu Wushuang? If Guo Fu was really beheaded by Gongsun Zhi, would he just ask Lu Wushuang to apologize and beat her to vent his anger? Jin Lao did not write whether Huang Rong would want revenge when his daughter was hurt, so he had to make up his mind for the readers.

Another paragraph that Jin Lao did not write was Guo Jing’s reaction when Guo Fu and Huang Rong and the others returned to Xiangyang. At this time, Guo Fu not only chopped off Yang Guo’s arm, but also accidentally injured Xiaolongnv, which made Xiaolongnv’s life in danger, and even forced Yang Guo and Xiaolongnv to be forced to do so. Sixteen years apart. It is conceivable that Guo Jing must be very angry after knowing what Guo Fu did. Guo Jing values love and righteousness. Yang Guo and Xiao Longnv have saved his life. How will he punish Guo Fu? Jin Lao did not write. But 16 years later, Guo Fu was still self-centered and did not repent of her fault, so she knew that she should not have been severely punished. It was very likely that Huang Rong had done it again. Guo Jing has been angry with Guo Fu for 16 years. As long as someone mentions Yang Guo, he will slander Guo Fu and not speak to her for a day or two, which is very in line with Guo Jing's personality.

Finally, a question is left. Some people think that even if Guo Fu's arm is cut off, it will not make up for Yang Guo's arm, so how should Guo Fu be punished? Shouldn't anyone think that Guo Fu doesn't need to be punished?
