Gu Yun found himself standing in a sea of clouds, the boundless clouds around him were like the waves in the sea, at a glance, it was a kind of vast and made people feel their insignificance between heaven and earth, but there was a wonderful feeling in his heart that he couldn't explain

Of course, he is not standing on top of the clouds, but on a piece of ground that is no more than ten miles in circumference, this piece of land is like the top of a mountain peak that penetrates the sea of clouds, or an island in the middle of this sea of clouds, you don't know what exists under it, and you don't know what is above the blue sky?

As for the surroundings, they were all the same sea of clouds, and Gu Yun estimated that even if he flew towards the surroundings with all his might, it would always be a long and boundless sea of clouds!

Therefore, the answer you are looking for should be on the small land under your feet.

Because, at a glance, he saw many familiar things that he had seen before.

The thatched hut that is a little old but does not look dilapidated, the thatched hut has grown delicate and fresh vegetables before, and there are chickens and dogs wandering in it, and there is a large willow tree that grows luxuriantly on one side of the thatched hut, and there is a stone table and stone bench under the thick shade, with a teapot and a teacup on it, and there is also a book, but the difference from what I saw before is that this teapot and teacup and book are no longer stone, but are the same as those used by ordinary people, it seems that someone should be here.

A little farther away, there was a pond the size of a hundred feet, with rods and hats on the edge of it, and a ripening rice field, and an orchard, and he was now standing in the midst of some green and withered yellow woods, but he did not have the axe he had used to cut the trees.

"Bang bang bang ~~~ click!"

The sound of a tree being chopped was heard.

There's someone here!

Gu Yun looked for the voice, and he really saw a person, it was a gray-haired old man, the kind of old man that is common in the countryside and mountain villages, and there was nothing strange about it.

Seeing Gu Yun coming over, the old man raised his head and looked at Gu Yun, with a smile in his eyes, and he was not surprised as Gu Yun imagined.

"Hello!" is a simple greeting.

"Hello old man!" Gu Yun also responded politely, and then waited for the old man to ask him something, such as who are you, where are you from, why haven't I seen you, what are you doing here, etc.

But Gu Yun was soon disappointed, and after the old man said hello, he didn't say a word anymore, just caring about chopping his own firewood, as if Gu Yun standing beside him had never existed.

Gu Yun wondered, should this old man wait for me to help him chop enough wood before he would say anything to me!

So Gu Yun stepped forward and said respectfully: "Old man, you take a rest, I'll help you!"

"Oh, no! do your own thing! you have to go over there!" the old man chuckled, but without looking up, he threw an axe, still chopping his own wood.

Gu Yun is a little depressed! The people here are really weird-tempered, I don't know if other people are like this?

However, Gu Yun was depressed and depressed, so he still did what the old man said, or wait for his firewood to be cut and talk to him, and it would be too rude to leave him to find someone else now.

So, Gu Yun took the axe, went to the other side, and quickly chopped a lot of firewood, a cultivator like him didn't have any effort to do this kind of thing.

But when he looked at the old man again, he was still there chopping his firewood unhurriedly, the speed was even less than one thousandth of Gu Yun's, even if Gu Yun wanted to give it to him, but he was afraid that he would not accept it, and he directly refused to help him just now.

Then it's not the same thing to wait like this, so I'll go find someone else and ask first! I don't think this old man will blame anything.

A place within a radius of ten miles is nothing for Gu Yun at all, and he should be able to find someone else soon.

But Gu Yun was soon disappointed.

He was quick to find, and quick to be disappointed, for there was no one else in this place but the old man and himself.

Gu Yun could only wait for the old man, until it was almost time to eat lunch, the old man stopped chopping wood, packed up the firewood and went back, and Gu Yun also packed a large bundle and followed behind.

Before arriving at the thatched hut, the old man said to Gu Yun: "You go over there, cook and eat by yourself, you can pick the vegetables in the vegetable garden at will, and if you want to eat meat, you can also kill the chicken!"

After the old man finished speaking, he went to the side where he lived.

Gu Yun couldn't do it, he only got the thatched hut on the other side, and he saw that he also had a complete set of living utensils, and there was no shortage of food to live in, but if he wanted to eat, he had to do it himself.

Gu Yun naturally didn't feel hungry, so he didn't cook, but just observed the old man there, because this old man was the one who could understand some of the situation here, and he didn't dare to offend casually.

After the old man had eaten, he went directly to the big willow tree, sat there, made tea, picked up the book and read it, and then fell asleep under the willow tree.

Gu Yun was also bored, seeing that the old man was asleep, he walked over, picked up his book and glanced at it, and immediately felt like laughing, because that book turned out to be a children's enlightenment book "Happy Childlike".

Inside is what "The Wolf is Coming", "The Wolf and the Lamb", "Sitting in the Well and Watching the Sky", "The Father and Son Carrying the Donkey", "The Tortoise and the Hare Race" and other stories that children are very familiar with.

Just when Gu Yun wanted to laugh, the old man woke up, and when he saw Gu Yun holding the book, he actually smiled and said: "That book is very interesting, you can read it if you want to! There is only this book here, I am just going to do something!"

"Heh, what's so good about this book?" Gu Yun smiled faintly.

"Young man, you can't say that, you think you've seen through everything, even such a simple story seems to have an infinite flavor!" The old man looked at Gu Yundao with a different face.

As soon as Gu Yun heard this, he suddenly seemed to have a realization, is this old man hinting that my secret is in these stories, to be precise, hidden somewhere in this book?

Immediately overjoyed, he saluted the old man and said, "Thank you for the old man's advice, the younger generation understands a little." ”

The old man looked at Gu Yun strangely, but he shook his head and muttered to himself, "You understand, what do you understand! ”

Then, the old man gradually moved away, but Gu Yun didn't care about the old man's words, maybe the old man just broke his mind to himself at once and his face was a little unbearable!

Gu Yun thought about it, just opened the book like this, and carefully searched every place in it that might have hidden secrets.

Gu Yun was reading the book, but the old man was weeding the vegetable garden, fertilizing the rice fields, killing insects in the orchard, fishing fish in the pond, everything that could be done here, he did it again, and when it was time for dinner to eat, rest, and the day passed.

Early the next morning, Gu Yun was already looking at the children's book under the willow tree, he didn't see anything yesterday, he couldn't give up, he had to persevere.

The old man came over, and it was still a simple greeting: "Hello!"

"Hello old man!"

"You want to read that book! Okay! Good! Yes! Young people are self-motivated, I haven't read that book yet! If you want to read it, you can read it! There is only this book here, and I am just about to do something!" Seeing that Gu Yun was holding the children's book in his hand, he repeated what he had said to Gu Yun yesterday.

This made Gu Yun wonder a little, how could he say that again? Besides, he had clearly read it yesterday, why did he say that he hadn't read it today? And looking at the sweat stains on this book and the sharpened and damaged corners, he didn't know how many times he had turned this book.

When Gu Yun was depressed, the old man was already chopping wood with an axe.

Gu Yun read the book for a day, and he also endured the dull story for a day.

The old man did the things he did yesterday step by step, although the order was slightly different, but it was the same

A few months later!

The old man was still doing his boring things, every day, and he never pulled it down.

However, there is still one thing, he never saw the book again, because Gu Yun kept turning it!

However, on this day, Gu Yun was finally disappointed, he didn't find anything, the book had been thrown aside by him, and he was stunned there!

The old man walked over, picked up the book that Gu Yun didn't read, and read it with relish.

"Wow, this wolf is so bad that he wants to eat the lamb!"

"What a stupid wolf, why don't you live peacefully with the lamb! Isn't it more beautiful to eat when the lamb is fattened?" Gu Yun said casually.

"Oh! Looks like I've had another day of fun!" said the old man, dropping the book and going about his business

Day 2!

"It's bad! the wolf is going to eat the lamb!" the old man looked serious.

"What are you afraid of! It eats the lamb so early, and it will starve to death sooner or later, so it should be raised to eat it while the other sheep don't see it!"

"Haha! You're interesting, but I still want to don't go hungry today!"

"The despicable wolf wants to eat the lamb for such a reason!"

The days went by like this, and a few months passed, and Gu Yun had long lost interest in reading the children's books, and he searched the land for ten miles like crazy, but found nothing.

And the old man is still doing the same thing every day, without showing a little boredom, and every day he has to discuss the problem of the wolf and the lamb with Gu Yun, but the problem is basically the same every day, and Gu Yun also copes with the answer that is not new every day, but the old man leaves happily every day as if he has got something new, and does not show a little disappointed and bored

Finally, one day, Gu Yun couldn't stand this boring day anymore, and yelled at the old man: "You are doing the same thing every day, don't you feel bored? I don't know how long you've lived here, I don't know how you survived like this?"
