Chapter 6 Take a Wrong Path, Understand a Little More

The sun was rising, the morning dew was not diluting, and a teenager walked lonely but determined towards the east. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The first problem that the stone encounters is the problem of direction, not every day there is a sunrise, without the sun it is difficult to discern the direction, it is easy to go around in circles in the endless wasteland. People can't walk out of the desert because their feet are not the same height, so they always deviate from the straight line when walking.

But the stone did not dare to stop, he did not dare to waste every day, he knew that as long as he slackened for a day, he would continue to slacken, so he could not stop. But when you have no direction, no matter where you go, it's wrong, it's better not to stop where you are.

The clear night is the night that the stone is most willing to encounter, when a person walks will not be as lonely as the day, and the silence of the night can always soothe a person's soul.

Stone once learned from his father to look at the stars in the sky to discern the direction, and on a clear night, there are the Big Dipper stars that can distinguish the direction, which is very suitable for walking. He always walked non-stop, day and night, always trying to make up for the time that fell on a rainy day. As long as you take one more step, you can save the time for the next step, and then the time to take the second day will be closer, even if this step is insignificant, it is worth the effort.

However, if you want to reach a place or achieve any purpose, there is absolutely no direct way to reach it, there will be some twists and turns in the process, there will be necessary detours to take, and detours are the shortcut to a person's destination.

......

It was the first time that the stone had encountered such a high mountain, and the top of the mountain was even covered with snow, and now there was no other choice, and the detour was still a series of peaks.

In the face of the unknown, you will not know which road is closest and you will not know which day is the farthest, and some only have the road under your feet. The stone never has a fluke mentality, and does not feel that there will be any shortcuts. He firmly believes that as long as he goes east, he will come to Donglai Mountain, then he will go east step by step, as long as he takes one more step closer to Donglai Mountain, there is nothing in this world that perseverance cannot overcome.

The stone decided to climb the mountain.

When the stone stepped on the air, the only thought was that he must catch something, or he would have to climb so high and climb again. Unfortunately, he didn't catch anything, fell directly to the bottom of the mountain, and immediately fainted.

It rarely rains in winter, but it rains here, like ice, and the winter rain is more uncomfortable than the snow.

When Stone opened his eyes, he sat up sharply and coughed violently for a long time. The rain mixed with the mud had poured into his nose and mouth, and if he woke up a little late, he would have choked to death. The stone is really fatal, and it didn't fall to death, even if it didn't fall to death, people would be frozen to death if they were drenched in the rain, and they would freeze to death if they couldn't find firewood and a place to protect them from the rain before dark.

Sometimes there is a real kind of despair, the body, mind and soul are exhausted to the extreme, and then death becomes a luxury, a relief, and most people commit suicide because of this despair.

Wang Shi never despairs, because he believes that anything that can't kill himself can only make himself stronger!

Looking around, the stone decided to continue climbing the mountain, staying at the bottom of the mountain would definitely die, and if he climbed up the mountain, he might survive. Even if the bones in the body have fallen apart, you have to continue to climb, and if you don't climb, you will die.

Stone proved to be the right decision, and after he had climbed halfway up the hill with great difficulty, there was no rain, and after a while of searching he found a small cave, and he found some dry wood on the mountain to make a fire, and then he had closed his eyes forever in the rain and mud.

The stone was trapped in front of the first mountain for ten days before he turned over, in fact, he was lucky enough not to fall to his death, it was impossible not to be bruised, and he rested for three days before continuing his journey. But he had to walk with a wooden stick, one leg hurt and he didn't dare to take a step, and the muscles in his body were extremely sore, and now he could only walk one step at a time and move forward slowly.

......

The mountain, as if it had been split by someone, was straight and towering, and there was no way to climb it.

There are three paths on the mountain, which twist and turn, and you can't see the end, and you don't know which one leads to the top.

The stone had to choose a path to go up, but unfortunately he didn't choose the right one, and he returned to the same place after a lap. I had to start from the beginning, but the second road ended in a cliff, and when I walked to the cliff, the cliff immediately collapsed and I almost fell off the cliff. The stone returned to the original place and chose the third path, but he was full of confidence but returned to the same place, and the third path was still not the road over the mountain.

The stone stopped in front of the mountain for three days and could not find a way out, until it came across a woodcutter and did not know how to cross the mountain. The three roads on the mountain are all the roads where people go up the mountain to cut firewood, not the way over the mountain, the road over the mountain is at the foot of the mountain, and there is a cave at the foot of the mountain, and the cave leads directly to the other side of the mountain.

When the stone passed through the cave to the other side of the mountain, the stone sat for a long time until the sun went down, and then got up and continued to walk firmly.

There are too many divergent paths in this world, and it is important to choose which path to choose, but it is even more important to go on firmly.

From this moment on, the stone understood a truth: there are many paths, there are many choices, and the most important thing is that you keep sticking to it and never regret it, and taking the wrong path is just to choose the right path.

......

Half a year has passed in a blink of an eye, and the soles of the stones are already full of thick calluses, and now it is not difficult to walk on a road full of thorns, and it is no longer difficult to climb a steep cliff with rough hands. These physical pains are nothing, the biggest enemy of walking alone is loneliness, and the biggest enemy of children is also loneliness.

Stone sometimes sits quietly on a starry night, missing his father and mother, missing Erya, this is the only thought he has in the world. A person like Stone is destined not to shed tears, but only to bear in silence, so he always walks very firmly and will keep going.

The mountains over which the stone crossed became higher and higher, and some of the mountains even made people desperate, but he eventually came over; the river crossed by the stone became deeper and deeper, so deep that he could no longer swim and could only drift with the waves; he walked through the great wilderness, swamps, and deserts, and saw many things and landscapes.

"The stars are hanging down and the plains are wide, and the moon is surging and the rivers are flowing" has seen too many landscape stones, and some of his temperament is gradually changing. Scenery can affect a person's mind, regardless of their age.

The stone encountered countless wild beasts along the way, the wood knife had been completely curled, and now it could not cut the unkempt hair, and thanks to so many wild beasts, it was not starved to death, and thanks to the animal skins, it was not frozen to death in the winter. Now the stone even dares to hunt a tiger, as long as the trap he designs is right, he can kill a tiger as huge as a horse-drawn carriage.

Half a year's trek has made Stone more and more like a wild man, and if he hadn't been talking to himself often, he would not be able to speak now.

......

This is by far the biggest problem that the stone has encountered - a sea-like lake, surrounded by the deserted Gobi.

Stone began to hesitate, first there was no boat to cross the lake, not even a large log, and it was impossible to swim across the lake. No one knows how wide the lake is, and the stone doesn't know whether his choice is correct, so he can only go down.

It's a saltwater lake with nothing around it. The stone walk was very difficult, and every few days of walking you had to leave the lake to find food somewhere else. Fortunately, there was a fertile grassland ten miles away from the lake, and there were many roe deer and roe deer on the grassland, and every time he went to the grassland, he could hunt food, and this food could support him for several days.

The stone walked along the lake for a month, and at the end it collapsed a little, and the stone deviated from its course for a month. Sometimes you can make mistakes, and sometimes you can't, because the cost of making mistakes is unbearable. It would take a month for the stone to return to its original place and continue around the lake in the opposite direction, but if the stone continued to go forward, it would not know where the end was, and perhaps there would be no end to the lake.

......

A month later, the stone came to a city.

The city is a half-sea city, and because it is next to the half-sea lake, it is called a half-sea city.

After hearing about it, Shi learned that if he had walked in the opposite direction at that time, it would only take ten days to get around Banhai Lake, and if he continued to walk, it would have taken another month.

The stone nested in a corner and gnawed on the dry and hard strips of meat, chewing in his mouth until it was completely rotten before swallowing it into his stomach. Shi looked at the dense flow of people, and the idea of stealing a horse immediately hit his mind, as long as he stole a horse himself, he could save a lot of time.

Stone spent three days in Mid-Sea City, and in one night managed to infiltrate a wealthy family. He set ten fires, stole a horse in the midst of the chaos, and rode out of Banhai City.

Stone did not regret his act of setting fire at all, he saw with his own eyes that the servants of the family were beaten to death just for breaking a plate, and even more he saw the ten girls hanging in the room of the young master, all of them were covered with scars, and the young master of the family whipped and ravaged these girls wantonly every night, and he had a strong urge to kill when he saw this scene. Shi didn't know that the young master had died in the fire, and if he knew, he would be happy with his actions.

The stone had only been ridden for three days before the horse was snatched away. The men stood in the middle of the road, brazenly pulled the stone off the horse, and rode away. There was nothing he could do, he didn't dare to draw his sword, because if he drew it, he would definitely die here. The stone has a fiery temper, but he still understands what it means to hit a stone with an egg.

The bigger the stone, the more he understood that a city with people was more dangerous than a wasteland with no people, and he began to understand a little why the middle-aged man said that he could not rule the world at that time.

There is sin in the world, and the wicked cannot be killed.

......

Zhangzhou City, high-rise city wall.

Erya was dressed in a luxurious red robe, and her head was adorned with gold hairpins.

She looked out over the city every day, counting the days, waiting for the stone to return.

She spoke less and less, not even a word for a month, and many people treated her dumb, and her face became colder, and gradually no one wanted to come near her, and the servants worshipped her as a statue.

Erya in the city is as lonely as the stone in the wasteland. However, the head of the Fu family has always worshiped Erya like an ancestor, as long as her request is agreed.

An old woman, the face is full of wrinkles, and the layers of wrinkles show the vicissitudes of time, just by seeing these wrinkles, you will think that the old woman has passed a thousand years old. The old woman's eyes were gouged out by someone, and the hollow eye sockets and wrinkles on her face made her look very terrifying. The old woman was so rickety that her hands could touch the ground, and she was leaning on a cane made of dead wood to prevent her hands from touching the ground.

Such an old woman should dress plainly to be as harmonious as possible, but this old woman is wearing a colorful golden silk phoenix robe, with a phoenix dance for nine days, and she is a rat that is about to die and burrows into her coat.

The old woman suddenly appeared in front of Erya and smiled at Erya, but the old woman didn't have eyes but seemed to be able to see Erya.

Even the guards guarding Erya were so frightened by the old woman that they shrank back, but Erya was not afraid, and carefully looked at the old woman in front of her.

The old woman stretched out her withered hand, like a chicken paw that had been dried for many years, with countless black and gray spots on it, and the nails were longer and frightening, and they were purple-black. It was such a hand touching Erya's face, and the old woman said, "What a good boy." ā€

The old woman's voice was hoarse, like two pieces of rough iron grinding, very harsh, as if she was not speaking with her tongue, but with her stomach.

Erya's guards reacted at this time, drew their knives one after another, and shouted: "Where is the dead old woman, get out of our young lady's side immediately, or you will be unkind!"

The old woman didn't care about these guards at all, she kept looking at Erya, and kept talking about good children. The old woman suddenly smiled, as if she had discovered something, and a little at the center of Erya's eyebrows, a strange flower appeared, and the old woman smiled even more happily.

"Child, go with your mother-in-law. ā€

"Old woman, don't be ignorant!" The guard hurriedly pushed the old woman away, but he didn't expect that as soon as he took a step forward, he felt that he had been hit hard and fell directly under the city wall.

"I'm not leaving, I'm going to wait for Brother Shi here. "Erya doesn't care who falls off the city wall and dies tragically.

The old woman smiled and said, "Don't wait, the men in the world can't wait, you have to grab it yourself." ā€

"How to grab it?"

"Go with your mother-in-law, and your mother-in-law will teach you. ā€

"Then you can snatch Brother Stone back?"

"You can grab whoever you want. ā€

"Okay, mother-in-law, I'll go with you. ā€

The old woman laughed loudly, the more she laughed, the more intense she laughed, and the laughter could be heard in the whole city of Zhangzhou, but people heard more cold, and the sound of ice-like cold was pouring into the ears, and the people who listened were cold and frightened.
