The spring rain is delicate and silky, bringing vitality, and in the villages deep in Yishan, people have begun to be busy for a year's livelihood.

On the mountain path, people walk towards the fields that have been carved out with tools. Although the land in the mountains is barren, as long as you work hard, it is not difficult to achieve food and clothing.

Han Taozi stood on a small hill, watching all this, with a thoughtful look on her face, all this was too common, but her intuition told her how to make people fall in love with the secular world, and the answer was in all these scenes she saw,

Han Taozi continued to walk in the village, and the women left behind in the valley also took care of their own household chores, or focused on their own things, or talked to the neighbors about some family shortcomings, everything was very normal.

Walking step by step, Han Taozi walked from one side of the village to the other. Seeing the militia guarding the pass, Han Taozi turned around and was about to walk back, but the sound of reading came from a while, which made Han Taozi stop.

I saw that a hut was built next to the pass, in which Chi Xuewen was teaching the children to learn to read and write, while Gu Ling was sitting under a big tree outside the house drinking tea and resting.

"You've been walking around like this, and you're probably tired, so why don't you sit down and rest for a while. If you don't understand something, don't think about it. Everything must be taken as it comes, and what should be understood will always be understood, and what should not be understood will never be understood. Gu Ling greeted Han Taozi and said.

"Has Mr. Gu Ling finished his lecture? It's really pleasant to give a lecture like this for a while and take a break. However, I have a question in my heart, Mr. Gu Ling was also a famous university scholar in Beijing back then, and you didn't give lectures in Beijing, but you went to this ravine to give a lecture, don't you feel a little aggrieved? Han Taozi sat across from Gu Ling and asked.

"If you have what you want, why be disturbed? What grievances do I have? First, General Wei saved our family, and our family is now under the protection of General Wei, living well, and it is only natural for me to do something for General Wei. Second, there are people here who are willing to listen to me talk about morality, and I am naturally willing to talk to them. Although the Jingshi is prosperous, but in the troubled times, everyone thinks about how to fight for power and profit, I am said to be pedantic, scolded as hypocrisy, what is the fun of staying there? Gu Ling took a sip of tea, and then replied lightly.

"I see. Mr. Zero's original question should have been answered now. I wonder if you can tell me, sir? Han Taozi asked.

"My question? Please Ms. Han can explain more clearly. After all these years, I can't remember many things anymore. Gu Ling said with a smile.

"When I went to Anyun, I searched all the way to find you, sir, but Mr. said that I don't understand why God let so many people survive, and then let them struggle in suffering, and finally die in pain. My Mr. Kai is now at ease, completely free of the grief and anger of the past, and I guess I should also get the answer. Han Taozi asked.

"I'll be honest with you, I still don't understand this question. It's just that I saw the good side of human nature, and when I had hope in my heart, I was no longer so miserable. It is also a struggle to survive, to run for a living in times of peace, to make the whole family live better and better; In times of war, it is also a struggle to disregard morality for the sake of livelihood, and even to do some evil things. It is clear that the struggle ahead gives a sense of hope; And the struggle behind makes people feel guilty. I don't understand why there is such a difference. Gu Zero said.

"But sir, you are now satisfied, and you are no longer in pain, why is that? I think that a knowledgeable person like you will never even know his own heart. Han Taozi asked.

"Of course I know it in my heart. It couldn't be calm before, but now it's calm, but how my heart calms down, I really don't understand. Gu Ling smiled, shook his head and said.

"Is it a curse? Love the world because you get benefits, and hate this world because you lose benefits. It's just that the interests in Mr. Guling's eyes are not money and status, but to be understood and recognized by others. Han Taozi said.

"Perhaps, but I can't really answer. But to be able to enjoy the last peace of my life here, I really want nothing more. Gu Ling couldn't answer, but the smile on his face didn't fade, a calmness, a confidence, let the shadow of doubt leave him forever.

"Wisdom, love, and courage, what will come out of these three? I'm just one step away from the answer I'm looking for, but I'm never going to take another step. Perhaps, as Mr. Gu Ling said, it is best to go with the flow, and those who should understand will always understand, and those who should not understand will never understand. Han Taozi also replied with a calm smile.

Since then, Han Taozi no longer walks around and observes everywhere, but follows the knowledge of Gu Linghe Chi and gives the children some of the simplest truths in this small room. Blended into a quiet and serene life, away from all strife and pain, Han Taozi seemed to understand something.

Everything in the village was going in an orderly manner, and Wei Zeng and Ye Yuan took the people in the village and continued to work hard for the development of the village.

After a day of busy everything, Wei Zeng and his family rested in front of the house, and the family was happy and happy, which was also a rare happiness.

It's just that when it was about to be dusk, all the people at the outpost came to inform Wei Zeng, saying that there were unknown people wandering near Yishan, and the number of people was too many to count.

Wei Zeng had doubts in his heart, and naturally wanted to investigate the unknown threat, so he immediately took Ye Yuan and a few cronies and walked towards the mountain pass.

The sky was getting longer and longer, and when it was already pitch black in the past, it was still very bright now, and when Wei Zeng and Ye Yuan reached the exit pass, the sky was slightly darker.

Wei Zeng led people to look into the distance, and sure enough, many black shadows were shuttling between the mountains. Just as Wei Zeng asked the people at the outpost about the situation, a flute played a minor tune, echoing in the mountains. As soon as Ye Yuan heard this minor key, his expression began to become complicated.

"Ye Yuan, are you okay, do you know who is here?" Wei Zeng noticed that Ye Yuan's expression was different, so he asked.

"Dad, this tune was often played by a certain adult back then, coaxing me and Huaqing to sleep, if I guessed correctly, this time an adult came to me." Ye Yuan said.

"Someone? What did he come to you for? Wei Zeng frowned and said.

"Dad, a certain adult has nurtured me, he came to me, I can't avoid it, you just let me go and see." Ye Yuan said.

Wei Zeng glanced at Ye Yuan, and when he saw that he was very serious in his expression, he nodded and agreed, but told him to come back earlier.

After Ye Yuan got Wei Zeng's permission, he immediately ran towards the place where the flute made a sound. The sound echoed in the mountains, it seemed to be very close but it was still very far away, Ye Yuan did not stop and hurriedly ran forward, and finally came to a carriage before the sound of the flute disappeared.

I saw a young man in a fancy costume, playing an emerald green flute, the young man looked very delicate, but also with a bit of simplicity.

"Big brother, I knew you would definitely come." When the young man saw Ye Yuan, he immediately put down the flute and walked in front of Ye Yuan in two or three steps.

"You are a flower, you were so young the year I left, and now you are a man. Where is so-and-so? Did you call me for anything? Ye Yuan said.

"My father raised us from childhood to adulthood, and we have always been caring, can the eldest brother only call my father an adult now?" A certain flower said.

"I have always remembered the kindness of an adult who raised me, but the word "parents" is the great kindness of people, and I really can't call him father like before. Where is so-and-so now, and what are you looking for me? Ye Yuan said.

"My father didn't come here, he was sick, very sick. He kept calling his brother's name during his illness, and I came to look for you. I think as long as my eldest brother can go back, my father's illness will definitely be cured. Big brother, come with me now. After a certain flower finished speaking, he pulled Ye Yuan to take him to the carriage.

When Ye Yuan heard the news, he was also shocked in his heart, and was taken a few steps forward by a certain flower before he came back to his senses, and then broke free from a certain flower love's hand.

"My father is already seriously ill, can't my eldest brother even go and see him?" A certain flower reproached.

"I'll go with you, of course, but I'll have to talk to the others as well. Leaving without saying a word will make others worry about me. You wait for me, I'll be back tomorrow before dawn. Ye Yuan said.

"But will he let you go? If he doesn't let you go, won't you really go to see your father? A certain flower said suspiciously.

"My dad is also a reasonable person, and he won't stop me from doing something I have to do. I just went back and told him not to worry about me. Rest assured, I'll be back before dawn. After Ye Yuan finished speaking, he ran in the direction of the village.

The night was dark, only the stars flickered, and the darkness gradually shrouded in, making the deep mountains completely dark. But at the place of the mountain pass, a little fire lit up, guiding the path for Ye Yuan, who was walking in the dark, so that he was not lost in the darkness.

"Well, what the hell is going on." After Ye Yuan came closer, Wei Zengfa asked, his voice full of energy, only giving people a proper sense of security.

"An adult is sick, and I heard that he is very sick. He wants to see me, and I'm afraid I'm going to Kansai. Ye Yuan said.

"Are you leaving? Kansai is a long way to go, and I'm afraid it will be a long time. Is someone's illness really serious? Do you have to go there yourself? Wei Zeng frowned and said, obviously reluctant.

"An adult has nurtured me, and I should have visited him, no matter how serious his illness was. Dad, rest assured, everything in this Yishan was also created by me and Dad, and I am also very reluctant to be here. It's only been a few months apart, and when it's all over, I'll be back. Ye Yuan said.

Wei Zeng listened to Ye Yuan's words and didn't answer for a long time, of course he understood his own son, but he was still very relieved to let Ye Yuan walk alone.

"Dad, don't worry, I've grown up too. Although this world is big, it is not as big as my heart, hundreds of miles away. It's just a little bit in my mind. Ye Yuan said.

"yes, you've grown up, too. A good man has ambitions in all directions, how can he stay in this deep mountain and old forest for a lifetime? Go ahead, and when it's all over, remember to come back. Wei Zeng looked up at Ye Yuan, with expectation on his face, and agreed to let him go to Guanxi.

Just as Ye Yuan was about to turn around and leave, a choked sound came from the darkness next to him. Wei Zeng and Ye Yuan looked and saw only a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, who turned out to be Gu Ling's granddaughter Gu Ying.

"Xiaoying, why are you here, you hurry up and go home." Ye Yuan hurriedly said.

"I don't want you to go, if you go and never come back, what should I do?" Gu Ying cried and walked to Ye Yuan's side, pulled Ye Yuan's arm and said.

"Why wouldn't I come back? I'll be back in a few months. Daddy is here, don't make a fuss. Ye Yuan said.

Wei Zeng has often seen Ye Yuan and Gu Ying together these days, and now that he has seen this scene again, he still doesn't know what happened. Thinking about Ye Yuan, he is already very old, and it is also the age when he should be married.

"Gu Ying, don't be sad, Ye Yuan will come back after leaving. Ye Yuan, you are not young anymore, I think you and Gu Ying are also compatible, if you are willing, I will propose to Mr. Gu Ling in a few days. Gu Ying is still young now, so let's set the family affairs first, and when you have the right time in two years, you can get married. Wei Zeng said with a smile.

The two listened to Wei Zeng and Wei Zeng's words, and no one spoke for a while. After a while, Gu Ying stopped crying, nodded shyly in agreement, and Ye Yuan naturally had no opinion.

"Gu Ying, come here, Ye Yuan must go outside for a walk, and you must know the general situation as a girl. As long as the feelings are there, the end of the world is also one step away; As long as the hearts are dependent, the world is only yesterday and today. Wei Zeng said.

Gu Ying listened to Wei Zeng's words, glanced at Ye Yuan reluctantly, and then let go of Ye Yuan's arm and walked to Wei Zeng's side.

"Dad, Xiaoying, don't worry, I'll be back soon." After Ye Yuan finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait!" Wei Zeng's voice came.

"Dad, is there anything else?" Ye Yuan turned around and asked.

"Take this lamp and don't get lost in the darkness." Wei Zeng said, handing the lamp in his hand to Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan took the light and walked away in the darkness first.

When that little bit of fire gradually faded away and finally disappeared, Wei Zeng looked at the ethereal starry sky and took Gu Ying back to the village. (To be continued.) )
