Chapter 9: The Meaning of Existence

"Have you ever climbed a mountain?" Ye Youhuan asked Zhong Ling.

Zhong Ling shook his head.

"Have you ever been to the desert?"

Zhong Ling shook his head.

"Have you ever seen the endless sea?"

Zhong Ling shook her head again, this time there was a hint of yearning in her eyes.

Ye Youhuan looked at Zhong Ling, made a sympathetic look, and said: "Do you know, silent but life is so empty and tasteless, and a magnificent life can make people feel the meaning of survival." ”

"What is the meaning of existence?" Zhong Ling tasted Ye Youhuan's words.

"That's right."

"What is the meaning of existence?" Zhong Ling asked.

"Everyone has a different answer." Ye Youhuan replied.

"What about yours?" Zhong Ling asked, "What is the meaning of your existence?" ”

"Prove myself." Ye Youhuan replied very dryly.

"Why?" Zhong Ling asked strangely, "Why do you want to prove yourself?" ”

"Because I'm wronged, because I'm wronged, because I'm very, very wronged." Ye Youhuan clenched his fists: "Since I was a child, people around me have said that I am garbage, scum, and mud that can't be on the wall." They like to persuade me to accept my fate and be an honest loser. But I never believed their words, and I knew I was greater than those fools, and I had to prove myself to be the one that the mere people looked up to. ”

"You ......"

Zhong Ling was stunned, she had never experienced this kind of thing, but she was also infected by Ye Youhuan's words.

That kind of stubborn spirit of not admitting defeat made Zhong Ling's century-old calm heart ripple.

"What about me?" Zhong Ling asked stupidly, "What is the meaning of my existence?" ”

"It's up to you to find it yourself!" Ye Youhuan said: "If you have been here all your life and don't go out to have a look, you may not be able to find the answer to this question for the rest of your life." ”

"Can I find it when I get out of here?" Zhong Ling said suspiciously.

"In the outside world, everyone can find the meaning of their existence."

In fact, even in the vast world outside, there are still people who live in a muddy life.

Ye Youhuan will not tell Zhong Ling the truth, he wants to make Zhong Ling yearn for the outside world.

Ye Youhuan analyzed in her heart: Only if Zhong Ling also wants to leave, she will help herself.

"Then I'll talk to my two sisters and ask them if I can go outside and have a look." Zhong Ling is both curious and scared about the outside world, and wants to hear her sister's thoughts.

"If you ask them, they won't let you go." Ye Youhuan said: "Your eldest sister has an extreme personality, and the second sister is old-fashioned, so she will definitely not let you leave." ”

"They understand, right?" Zhong Ling said uncertainly.

"They won't understand."

From Zhong Ling's performance, Ye Youhuan was completely sure that the three sisters knew the way to leave here, but they deliberately concealed it from themselves.

"You're right, my sisters won't let me leave." Zhong Ling sighed, looking very depressed.

"You are you, they are them, you have to live your life!" Ye Youhuan persuaded him.

"My two sisters are so good to me, I can't say goodbye without saying goodbye." Zhong Ling's inner conflict.

"You can leave them a letter and tell them you to go out and see it and come back in two years." Ye Youhuan gave Zhong Ling an idea.

"Is that really good?" Zhong Ling hesitated.

"You're worried too much, aren't you?" Ye Youhuan said with a big grin: "Let me ask you, what is the most important thing about being a man?" ”

"I've only been a person for a hundred years, and I don't quite understand it." Zhong Ling humbly asked: "What is the most important thing to be a man?" ”

"I still don......'t understand it for a hundred years," Ye Youhuan complained in his heart, and then said: "Being a man, the most important thing is to be happy." ”

Ye Youhuan's attitude towards life has always been like this, and he also said to Zhong Ling: "Do whatever you want, even if you don't do it, it's better than missing the opportunity and regretting it afterwards." Even if your two sisters want to blame you, it will be two years later, and the things after two years will be left to think about it in two years! ”

"This ......" Zhong Ling looked at Ye Youhuan in a daze, this person's heart is too big.

"You can think about it." Ye Youhuan felt that what she said was just right, although Zhong Ling couldn't make a decision now, but as time went by, Zhong Ling's desire to leave would become stronger and stronger, and then he would guide him slowly, and at that time, he didn't believe that she would not be taken away by himself.

"Okay, I'll go with you!" Zhong Ling said suddenly.

"What?" Ye Youhuan couldn't believe that Zhong Ling agreed so happily.

"I've decided, I'll leave with you." Zhong Ling said with a firm look in his eyes: "I'm going to see the outside world." ”

"Okay." Ye Youhuan asked, "Let's leave now?" ”

"Evening."

Zhong Ling said: "First, I want to leave a message for the two sisters so that they don't worry. Second, we must not let them catch up with us, or my eldest sister will kill you!" ”

"As for it?" Ye Youhuan's eyelids were startled.

"She's going to do it." Zhong Ling said very seriously.

"Good...... All right. Ye Youhuan said: "Then we must be careful!" ”

"Of course." Zhong Ling planned: "You don't want to go back today, let's make an appointment somewhere, you wait for me there." ”

"Okay." Ye Youhuan asked, "Where is the covenant?" ”

Zhong Ling asked Ye Youhuan to come over, and then whispered the time and place of the meeting in his ear.

Ye Youhuan wrote down the information.

Then, the two parted ways.

……

At night, Ye Youhuan sat on top of a small mound.

This is the place where he and Zhong Ling agreed.

Looking at the moonlight, Zhong Ling should come here soon to find himself.

After a cup of tea, Ye Youhuan heard Zhong Ling's soft call.

"I'm here!" Ye Youhuan stood up.

"I've got the letter left, and we can get out of here." Zhong Ling walked to Ye Youhuan's side.

Ye Youhuan said happily: "Then let's go quickly." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw a white shadow behind Zhong Ling.

If you take a closer look, it turns out to be the second sister Bai Su.

"Zhong ...... Zhong Ling, why did the second sister come with you? Ye Youhuan asked.

"Second sister?" Zhong Ling was startled, hurriedly turned around, and sure enough, he saw Bai Su behind him.

"Sister, right...... I'm sorry. Zhong Ling lowered his head in shame, like a child who had done something wrong.

"He tricked you into leaving, right?" Bai Su stared at Ye Youhuan, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"He persuaded me, but in the end it was me who made the decision." After Zhong Ling finished speaking frankly, he was very curious why the second sister followed, so he asked, "Sister, how did you find out?" ”

"You're behaving abnormally today, and you've been hiding things in your eyes, so I guessed that this kid must have bewitched you and wanted you to take him out of here."

Bai Su is very wise.

Zhong Ling's little thought was hidden from the eldest sister Fangge, but he couldn't hide it from the second sister Bai Su.
