Although they passed through some small villages along the way and were able to supply some dry food from time to time, overall, for more than three months, Gao Ran and his party still lived more of a life of eating and sleeping in the open.

However, after more than three months of trekking through mountains and rivers and bumps all the way, they finally came to a relatively "decent" city (the scale is the same as that of the capital).

Gao Ran and his entourage entered the city in a hurry.

However, at this time, it was close to the time when the city gates were closed, and everyone was too tired after running around all day! After entering the city, everyone just wanted to find a shop to stay in, and get a good night's sleep and relieve their fatigue. I'll talk about the rest of the matter when I wake up!

So, as soon as they entered the city, the four of them tacitly went to the first inn they saw after entering the city at their fastest speed.

Although the inn is not very large, fortunately, there is still one room left.

The four of them looked at each other for a moment, and Gao Ran made a decision, "Just live in this store!"

She was so tired, she believed that the other three were the same! So, she decided to live in a room with the four of them - only when she checked in, she asked the store for a few more quilts, so that Zhao Yi and Gao Xi could lay on the floor.

Anyway, for more than three months, the four of them have been sleeping together a lot—especially in the wild, when the weather is getting colder and colder, and many times, everyone sleeps next to each other and around the fire to keep warm.

After taking turns washing, the four of them were very accustomed to lying down in the order from left to right, next to the person they should be next to, to the place where they should be lying.

After everyone lay down, Gao Xi, who was closest to the candle flame on the table, didn't ask anything, and just got up and blew out the candle.

As soon as the candle flame was extinguished, the room suddenly became pitch black, and in an instant nothing could be seen.

After Gao Xi lay back on the ground, moved a few more times, and adjusted his sleeping position, Gao Ran, who was lying on the bed with his eyes open, never heard any sound again.

In fact, she was also very tired, and she also felt that as soon as she closed her eyes, she could fall asleep immediately......

However, before going to bed, she insisted on thinking about things for a while with her eyes open - she suddenly felt a little at the rapid passage of time......

She remembered that when the four of them first set off from the capital, it was still early autumn...... And now, it has entered the deep winter season!

Thinking back to the days of lack of food and clothing, hunger and cold, Gao Ran couldn't believe that she really carried it?!

Moreover, she has adapted better and better to this kind of life in the rivers and lakes where she often bumps and sleeps in the wilderness! And many of the details of life in the past have now been abandoned by her!

Now, when she looks back at the past she has experienced in the past few months, she suddenly discovers that as long as it is for survival and to better adapt to her current living environment, many principles, tastes, and exquisiteness that she once thought would not be changed will actually be changed because of the "requirements" of reality - otherwise, she will eventually be "eliminated" by this kind of life because she "carried" too many "burdens" that do not conform to the current living environment Either she herself chose to give up because she couldn't stand such a bumpy life, or the people around her couldn't stand her various exquisiteness, so they finally chose to stop the trip and send her back to the "greenhouse", so that she could continue to be her "flowers in the greenhouse".

Thinking about it, Gao Ran couldn't help but silently ask himself a question in his heart - "Then, such a me, is it still me?!"

A person opened his eyes and quietly looked at the darkness in front of him, but Gao Ran's heart was inexplicably calm......

After waiting for a long time, her inquiry was finally answered—a voice suddenly appeared in her heart, telling her, "Even if it changes, it's still me—but it's a me who is more adaptable to the current environment." ”

"Well, since I'm so easy to change...... Otherwise, how can I be 'me' - an existence that will always be different from others?! Where is my 'uniqueness', where is the place where I am 'different' from others?!"

After waiting for a long time, this time, she did not wait for the response she was expecting, only felt a wave of sleepiness hit her, and before she knew it, she fell asleep deeply......

However, because Xu fell asleep with doubts, in his dream, Gao Ran vaguely heard a voice......

The voice in the dream answered her question, "Don't be afraid, as long as you always remember your 'original intention'! You must always remember that all your changes, all your efforts, have only one purpose -- to be free, to live the peaceful, free, and worry-free life you want." ”

Obviously, Gao Ran himself is very satisfied with such an answer!

When she heard such an answer, her heart calmed down - such a reaction made it clear to her that this was the answer she wanted!

At the same time, even though he was still in a dream, Gao Ran was unusually "sober" and gave an "order" to himself - he must remember this answer firmly!

Although I don't know what the principle is, it is obvious that Gao Ran's hint to herself in the dream did play a role: after waking up from the dream, she forgot everything about the other qiē in the dream, but she only firmly remembered the answer she got in the dream!

Facing the post-menstrual life, Gao Ran has become more confident than before, and there is a lot more support from a certain unusually firm force in her heart when she acts!

Gao Ran likes this mental state very much. She felt that she was no longer afraid of change—even though it was likely that her personality and thoughts would change more and more because of the circumstances......

But she no longer worries about the future she can foresee now, because she knows that as long as she never forgets her original intention, then no matter how her "outward appearance" changes, she will not lose the true purpose of her life.

As long as she does not lose the true purpose of life, then all her thoughts, thoughts, and actions will not deviate from the original "track", and will always move in the same direction - even if the path she chooses halfway will be different from what she originally expected, as long as the ultimate goal is the same, she can also accept this kind of life trajectory of "different paths to the same end".

After more than three months of accumulation and precipitation, Gao Ran can clearly feel that he has unconsciously changed a lot - although it is not "reborn", but at least it is "shedding a layer of skin" from the inside out......

However, only she was aware of this.

And the people around her, at most, just feel that she seems to be becoming more and more "down-to-earth", and many of the untimely "edges and corners" in her body have become more and more blurred - however, they mistake this feeling for because they have been with her for a long time and have become accustomed to the feeling that there is nothing unusual about it, and they do not think that perhaps, it is not just because they have gradually adapted to her, but also because she has really changed......
