Chapter 4 Life, Hope, and the Unknown
The mountains in the distance, the high white clouds, the sneaking breeze caressing Yiyuan's immature cheeks, Yiyuan sitting on the big stone at the head of the village, looking at the mountains and the earth, looking at the sky that disappeared at the end, but his heart was infinitely puzzled.

?? The little heart is always confused by the unknown and fear of death, always confused why life is so fragile and tactful, always trying to understand the true meaning and power of life, and always .......
?? Thinking is the source of our overcoming of all difficulties, the beginning of our learning to control the world, and the basis for us to apply the laws of heaven and earth.
?? The Tao is vague and clear, the Tao is invincible and powerful, and it is also an omnipresent influence, sometimes it is really difficult to learn the Tao, so difficult that we have nothing to gain in our lives, but sometimes it is very easy, the Tao heart arrives, and the enlightenment is full of glory overnight.
?? Time can always ruthlessly consume the pain and thoughts in our hearts, no matter what happens, life has to go on, my brother went out hunting, Yiyuan is very lonely and lost, so every day I will come to the stone at the head of the village on time, observe the changes of grass and trees from life, feel the rhythm of the wind and clouds, and think about the exhaustion of the power of the sun, moon and stars.
?? Day after day, month after month, nature is pregnant with changes in the way of heaven, and the Tao is the rule of the power of heaven and earth.
As the old saying goes, the heart of the Tao moves, and all laws are accomplished.
Yiyuan was immersed in his own state of mind of perceiving the nature of all things, and he didn't realize that he already had a mellow Dao heart.
......
The sunset is like a shy child hiding behind the mountains, like hiding behind his parents and quietly looking outside.
After his mother left, his elder brother took up the whole family, hunting during the day and taking care of his younger brother at night, so to be busy with life.
Even if we are scarred, physically and mentally exhausted, even if we are living with death, struggling with life and death in a desperate situation, we swallow the pain alone, and we choose to bear the tears, not because of anything else, but because we are men.
Yicheng held his tired body, with the two rabbits he had hit today wrapped around his waist, and his shabby clothes were torn into strips in several places, and his immature face was full of weathered perseverance.
Walking into the house, Yicheng's tired face showed a trace of relief and satisfaction, and he thought countless times in his heart, as long as his brother is still there, then what reason is there not to live well?
"Brother, you're back! Yiyuan misses you so much!" Yiyuan came out of the house and said with a happy face.
Yicheng picked up today's big rabbit from his waist, held it high, like a child showing off, and said to Yiyuan: "Brother, look, my brother will make fragrant rabbit meat for you to eat tonight." ”
Yiyuan saw the little rabbit raised by his brother, his little face fell down all of a sudden, he looked a little unhappy, his eyes were full of pity for the rabbit, and he lamented: "Don't eat it, don't eat it, why should we eat the rabbit so decently, how much it hurts!"
Yicheng looked at Yiyuan with a longing look, and suddenly there was a trace of unbearability and helplessness in his heart, since his mother left, his younger brother became a little stupid and inexplicable, and sometimes asked some inexplicable questions, such as asking those prey that were beaten whether it hurt? Why do all things grow when spring comes? The changing laws of the stars, etc., and even ask themselves what life is? Yicheng can't figure it out, shouldn't these be like this, what does it have to do with us, what can we do if we know? Anyway, I don't understand, and I am often speechless when asked by my younger brother, and I don't know how to answer. In addition, he never eats the animals he hunts, so he always finds some wild fruits from the mountains for his brother to eat.
"If we don't eat them, we will die, the fate of some lives in this world is destined to be opposite, eating or not eating is the choice of life and death, so I, you have to choose to live, this is fate!" Yicheng said with some sadness, isn't what he has seen and heard in his short life just a witness to the cruelty of this world?
Yiyuan looked at his brother who was a little confused, he didn't know that the bone feeling of reality was far from what his young and innocent heart could bear, the departure of relatives, the cruelty of death, people, would mature step by step, and understand what reality was again and again! Isn't this what Yiyuan is.
"But I don't eat them, and I don't live well. Yiyuan said with a somewhat hurried dialectic.
Issei took a few steps forward, put down the bow and arrows and hunting knife on his back, put the rabbit on the stone platform in the courtyard, and then came to Yiyuan, took out two wild fruits from his arms, handed them to Yiyuan, and said softly, "Hungry! Hurry up and eat, and go back to the house and sleep after eating." ”
Yiyuan was holding a fruit in one hand and wanted to give it to his brother, but he heard his brother say, "I've eaten it, you don't have to give it to me, eat it quickly!" Yiyuan looked at the fruit and muttered, "Oh!"
Yiyuan sat on the threshold, eating wild fruits in small bites, this kind of fruit was eaten several times, especially delicious, but looking at the brother who was handling rabbits in the yard, he couldn't help but think about why the fruit was so delicious, why did the brother have to hurt the small animals and eat their meat every time? Listening to the crisp and pleasant wind chimes on the door, remembering that this wind chime was still made by his mother, looking up at the bright starry sky, Yiyuan was careless, intoxicated by the beautiful night sky where the light intertwined with darkness.
·····
Summer nights will never be lonely and silent, because silence is not the character of summer nights, cicadas chirp insects, fireflies flashing, and the whole night is very hot and lively.
There is a small figure sitting on the stone platform in the courtyard, shining under the starlight, looking at the distant and mysterious night sky, causing a yuan reverie infinitely, at this moment he forgot all the sorrows, forgot the cry of his brother's tiredness, and his body and mind became ethereal like the night sky.
The vast sea of stars, the vast universe, the vast and distant breath is pregnant with the Dao heart of one yuan, the eternal star energy echoes with the aura of the one yuan's heart, no one notices that the eyes of one yuan are as deep as the starry sky on the head, at this moment at a glance is the universe, exuding pure and ethereal Dao breath.
This breath caused fireflies to dance around Yiyuan, birds and cicadas seemed to move with Yiyuan's breath and breath, and the flow of Dao breath brought up gusts of breeze to disperse the heat and mosquitoes, time passed bit by bit, and a glimmer of light leaked from the eastern sky, signaling the beginning of a new day, and also waking Yiyuan from the ethereal perception.
When he opened his eyes, Yiyuan seemed to wake up from a quiet dream, although he didn't know what he had done, but he was beautiful and very satisfied. Looking around, he patted his forehead, and thought to himself, when he came out to see that the stars were actually asleep, it would be bad to let his brother know that he had spent the night in the yard.
Standing up, I suddenly felt refreshed, and secretly thought in my heart, it turned out that it was so comfortable to sit and sleep, and the cat hurriedly returned to his bed and pretended to be asleep. But Yiyuan didn't find that he had stayed outside all night, and there was not a trace of dew on his body.
·····
A new day and a new beginning, after breakfast, Yicheng picked up the hunting tools, told his younger brother not to run around, and began a new day of life in the mountains, taking advantage of the summer to hunt more, must hunt more, and by the way, also pick more wild fruits for his younger brother.
After Yiyuan saw his brother leave, he closed the door of the house, came to the stone at the head of the village where he spent time every day, stood and looked at the rising sun, a kind of empty and distant aura came to his face, and the weak light reflected the sky and his eyes, and Yiyuan had an indescribable sense of comfort in his heart.
I heard my brother say that there are many powerful people in this world, overwhelming mountains and seas, picking stars and chasing the moon, omnipotent, omnipotent, omnipotent, if I want to become that kind of peerless person that day, I must chase the sun, see it rise from there, and fall from there, and then see what the end of the mountain will look like!
Sitting cross-legged, closing his eyes, facing the sun, the whole world is red, thinking about the trajectory of the sun rising in the east and setting in the west, Yiyuan felt that there was a hot current slowly flowing from the top of his head to the center of his feet, and suddenly the cold feeling of sitting on the stone was gone, Yiyuan didn't know what was going on, and it was also a chance to find that as long as he thought about the scene of the sun in his mind, he was surging with a warm current all over his body, and this feeling made him very comfortable and loved.
Perhaps this is due to the fact that I found that the path of the sun's movement is different every day, just as I carved a figure on the stone under my feet, and there is an indescribable mystery and truth in the complicated lines, but no matter how it changes, the beginning and end of each line are the same and unchanging.
This situation makes one yuan confused and puzzled, if one day you can let yourself understand the beginning of change, the end of change, then life will be satisfied and no regrets, so one yuan especially yearns for the distance, not because there is light in the distance, there is hope in the distance, but the distance is unknown, can let your mind wander, understand the destination of your life, this may be the Tao and the very Tao!
The way of heaven is unpredictable, we cannot exhaust the changes of rational numbers, the way of cultivation is like a boat in the storm of the sea, and knowing the rules can grasp the only way to break through the danger.
The warm current surging in the body of one yuan is the purest purple yang energy in this world, escaping the miscellaneous desires in the body and entering the state of ethereal trance, in order to understand the root of things, and one yuan unconsciously perceives the essence of true desire.
The mixed Dao heart makes it easy for Yiyuan to enter the path of enlightenment, which is the state that many monks dream of, but Yiyuan does this every day, realizing the law of the sun during the day, and observing the changes of the stars at night.
As the sun rose and the weather became hotter, Yiyuan woke up from his state of concentration only to find that his body was already soaked with sweat, but his spirit had become extremely refreshed.
Secretly exhaled, Yiyuan stood up, came to the shade of the tree, studied the work that was not done yesterday, Yiyuan especially likes the starry sky, he feels that there is a mysterious connection between each star, he wants to find out this connection, so a long time ago he used lines to connect each star, observe at night, and then draw what he got in the shade of the tree during the day, so there are countless lines under the shade, and Yiyuan is also obsessed with it.
Time always passes unconsciously, the sun moves from one side of the sky to the other, and the sunshine from the west shines on the ground under the shade of the trees, making the lines on the ground appear golden and bright, with an indescribable charm.
Yiyuan threw down the small branch in his hand, stretched his young body, lowered his head and patted his little belly, his expression was a little depressed, could it be that he was sick, why was he not hungry at the end of the day? This situation has been happening for a long time, and he did not dare to tell his brother, for fear that his brother would be sad.
However, Yiyuan turned his mind and thought about it, and there was nothing wrong with his body, so whatever!
It's time to go home and boil water for my brother, my brother is tired for a day, and it must be very comfortable to take a bath.
Hopping home.
