It was early spring, and the snow was melting. There are new willows sprouting, and the dry river water is also merged into a little stream due to the melting of ice and snow. Under the eaves there is moss that had been moldy last year, and there is also the green left by withered moss in the courtyard.

"Squeak ......"

Next to the farmhouse, there was a small finch in the old tree that had not left in the cold winter last year, squeaking non-stop.

"Brother Shi, can you go to the back mountain with Nannan? Grandma is sick, and Nannan wants to go to collect medicine. A dirty little girl in front of the thatched hut pulled a sluggish young man in tattered clothes and said.

"Hee-hee-hee......" The young man's eyes were glazed, and he didn't speak, but smirked twice. His hair was unkempt, but he could vaguely see that his face was delicate. The beard was scruffy and of varying lengths, like thatch cut by a missing sickle. The young man was pulled by the little girl, like a child, jumping step by step.

"Slow down, Brother Stone. The little girl glared at the young man, her immature arms holding a large bamboo basket with difficulty. Six or seven years old, with a big basket the size of her body on her small body, one big and one small, slowly entered the depths of the back mountain.

In the mountains and forests, the spring breeze has just arrived, and the first rain has just been poured. The grass and trees in the mountains are sparse, and the branches that have fallen to the ground are wet by the drizzle, and they are hidden in the bushes with yellow moldy ash.

The young man seems to be stupid, but he is also ahead of the girl. With a weapon carrying a wooden stick in his hand, he cut off the withered grass and ancient trees that blocked the way.

The little girl was not surprised, this stone brother appeared in the vegetable garden behind her house a few months ago out of nowhere. Zijuan's parents died early, and she depended on her grandmother since she was a child.

One day, two days, January, two months. gradually became familiar with it, Zijuan knew that this young man was also a hard-working person, she took him to eat enough every day, took him up the mountain to chop wood and carry water, and gradually became acquainted. Zijuan also gave this young man who never spoke a name, Stone.

It's just that no matter what question Brother Shi asks, he just doesn't say a word. Maybe it's a poor mute, Zijuan treats this stone brother as a relative other than grandma.

The cliff leaks chalcedony, and Fanggu is quite danzhi. The clouds are falling, and the jade is bright.

"Brother Shi, I know my grandmother is sick. ”

In front of the young man, the little girl had just finished picking an herb, and her little face was full of sorrow. Zijuan also knew that Brother Shi never spoke, but when she thought of her grandmother's sick appearance with her. Zijuan's heart was sour for no reason, and she didn't care if the stone could understand it or not. However, I wanted to talk to him.

"Grandma seems to be not getting better this time, what should we do, Brother Stone?"

"Hey......" Stone sat on a piece of gravel. I just found an ant worm, and I was having fun holding it in my hand. Seeing that Zijuan's face was unhappy, the stone stretched out his broad palm and spread it out with a smile for Zijuan to see.

"Alas...... Go play it yourself. Zijuan was not in the mood to play with the stones, and sighed at a young age.

The rain had not yet dissipated, and the droplets of water that came out of the branches swayed in the wind and fell on the little girl's thin clothes. Zijuan's small mouth trembled, and she pulled the young man to continue to collect medicine.

"Brother Shi, Nan Nan found a stone dragon beard. ”

This stone dragon beard is an herb for treating bedridden and general malaise (i.e., rheumatism). Zijuan's small eyes lit up, staring at the grass and trees like a dragon's beard. It's just that it grows in the cracks of boulders in the mountains, and Zijuan's little hands can't catch it.

"Brother Stone, come and pick it up. ”

When the young man heard this, he did not speak, but cut off the thorns around him with the stick in his hand. His tall body was prostrate on the ground, and he stretched out his hand to uproot the stone dragon's whiskers. Seeing this, Zijuan secretly said that she was fortunate to bring Brother Shi here.

Shi Chong smiled at the little girl, and Zijuan took the stone dragon beard in his hand. The little girl gave him another thumbs up, and the young man became even happier and elated.

Zijuan saw that Shi Zi's childlike heart was not sleeping, it seemed that he was just a child, and he was an adult, so he stared at the young man with his little hand on his waist and said, "Brother Shi, I have decided." Waiting for grandma ......"

Speaking of this, Zijuan choked up before speaking. After all, it was a little girl, and thinking that the grandmother who brought her up might not have much time, Zijuan wanted to cry.

"Well, adults can't cry in front of children. Zijuan seemed to comfort herself much better. A handful of grabbing a piece of wheat straw that was playing in his hand from the stone, pretending to be old-fashioned, "We want to get out of here, out of Little Sheep Village." ”

"Brother Shi, do you know where I want to go?"

"When Nan Nan was very young, there was no Brother Shi at that time. Oh, it's when you haven't come yet, Brother Stone. ”

"Nan Nan was also collecting medicine in the back mountain and met a white-bearded old man. He's amazing, he can fly, and he can conjure things. He told him to follow him and become as powerful as him. ”

"That's supposed to be an immortal, right? Alas, you don't understand it. Zijuan said with her little hand on her chin. At this moment, she was lying in the basket behind the young man, and the stone carried her through the mountain road, and I didn't know if I understood what she was saying.

"Brother Shi, I want to go with him. In that way, you can make a lot of delicious food, and you don't have to make grandma work so hard every day. ”

"When I learn the spell of changing things, I will also make Brother Shi better. Your beard is so ugly, I'm going to help you become like my daddy. Nan Nan has seen the portrait of his father, with the same neat beard as the king of the stove. However, my dad is a little better looking than him. I can't help but laugh at this, how can I compare my father with the god of the stove, and it is really childish.

"But I don't want to leave my grandmother behind. The old man with the white beard said that I was the only one who went with him, so I didn't go. But...... Grandma was sick, and I knew she was getting old and she was leaving. Zijuan's little girl had a heart, and when she said this, she couldn't hold back her tears anymore and began to cry again.

In the forest, the little girl's cries came and went. The young man hurriedly stopped, as if he wanted to make the little girl happy, dancing and pretending to be ugly.

Zijuan has been used to hardships since she was a child, where has anyone coaxed her. Although this stone is usually stupid and stupid, he also knows that he amuses himself when he is sad, and he only thinks that he just said that he brought his brother Shi with him in vain. Breaking into laughter, he stretched out his little hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes. Seeing this, the young man also stood in place, wiped his nose and wiped the corners of his eyes like her, and the girl who provoked him was angry and happy.

Zijuan was about to chase the young man and beg for a beating, when the birds and beasts in the forest suddenly set off a commotion, and the leaves and grass fell and moved.

Zijuan was careful and took a breath, but found a colorful tiger looking at the two of them motionless in the grass behind Brother Shi. She was shocked, and tears were about to fall.

The young man seemed to have found nothing, and suddenly saw the little girl still crying. Thinking that he had provoked her to cry by imitating her movements, the tall body walked towards the girl and wiped her tears.

Where can Zijuan take care of other things, watching the colorful tiger come step by step, she was so frightened that her heart and eyes jumped out. Her lips trembled and she said, "There's a big bug, it's a big bug, Brother Shi, it's ...... behind you."

The young man didn't seem to hear anything, still looking at Zijuan with a grin. The giant tiger was already only a meter behind the young man, and he was about to pounce on him. Zijuan didn't know where the courage came from, so she pushed the young man away.

"Roaring ......"

A tiger roar shook the mountains and forests, and the cold fangs of the giant tiger opened out, and a pair of tiger claws were about to step on this Zijuan. She is small and tender, as long as this big tiger goes down with one paw, she is afraid that she will die here. The young man who was pushed away by Zijuan happened to see the tiger biting him.

In the midst of the lightning, the young man jumped up straight and slammed in front of Zijuan. The young man looked sluggish, and he didn't know how much strength he had, but a pair of fleshy hands actually grabbed the tiger's teeth. The tiger roared, and the young man's body was thrown away, and he slammed into the trunk of the tree, and fell heavily to the ground.

"Brother Stone......" Zijuan shouted.

The little girl had nothing to do at the moment, but could only watch the giant tiger approaching the stone step by step. She was too frightened to open her eyes to see the terrible scene, and only prayed secretly in her heart, and her eyes were already flooded. blamed themselves for crying wildly, attracting a giant tiger, and causing the two of them to die today.

"Boom ......"

There was another loud bang, and the young man stood up and scuffled with the giant tiger at some point. Zijuan was so frightened that she couldn't believe her eyes, Brother Shi actually fought with the big tiger, and although he was weak. But he actually raised the tiger's hands and slammed it to the ground.

"Brother Stone is good, kill the big bugs. ”

The two escaped death, and Zijuan rejoiced. The stone was still mingling with the big tiger, and it was smashed with one punch after another, and even the giant tiger wailed. The young man's original stupid appearance seemed to have become extremely irritable at the moment. I don't know how many hits, the giant tiger is already dying, and only his last breath is left after being beaten by the young man. As if tired, the young man's eyes were no longer bloody, and he regained his clarity.

With the tiger's last wail, there was no movement from it. The young man removed from the tiger's body and lay on the ground, breathing heavily.

Zijuan was stepping forward, just in time to see that although the stone had won, there were also wisps of blood spilling out of his forehead, which was about to flow to his neck. The little girl was startled, but she saw that the stone still showed that innocent smile to her, and she must have no reason in her heart. It's just that the young man, after smiling at the little girl, fell heavily to the ground and passed out.

I don't know when Brother Stone woke up, he has been sitting on the small stone bench at the head of the house, motionless, as if he had lost his soul.

The moonlight was clear, looking at Brother Stone through the shadow of the window, Zijuan felt that his Brother Stone had become stranger.

In fact, Lin Ziyun has come to his senses. A man who had slept for most of the year suddenly woke up. There have been fears, there have been struggles. With sloppy hair and messy stubble, he looked even more decadent. I don't know when he was afraid of being alone. Afraid of being alone, he longs to be recognized by others, and he hopes that he can do something eye-catching.

He didn't dare to look at what he looked like now, he was afraid that he would be disappointed. He was very afraid that he would collapse like this, and for a moment, Lin Ziyun thought that he would plant flowers and hoe fields here, and from then on herd cattle and sheep and be a farmer.

He was a mortal man with little ability. But God is always unfair, it's true that he is a mortal, but he also has dignity and a stubborn heart. He has always owed others in this half of his life, and sometimes thinks that if it weren't for the people who still care about him, it would be better to be a hundred.

However, isn't it meaningful to live for those who care about and pay for themselves? Even if it is a life that lasts for a while, we must live.

Lin Ziyun is a young man who has traveled from modern times, and he has his own pride. He doesn't want to owe someone else, so he'd rather struggle with pain and live in torment.

He owes his parents, as the saying goes, "Parents are here, don't travel far", but now that he is missing, his parents don't know how many days of longing they will have to suffer, and how much they will have to suffer the pain of losing their children.

He owes Tantai Tanxi, a girl who gave her life for love and for him.

He also owes Yu Wenyou, although he has only been together for half a year. But from the time he didn't shake his head and refused to "take him home", he already owed a debt. What's more, he has received his lifelong inheritance, and such a great favor is also a debt.

Lin Ziyun felt like a speck of dust in the universe, and he wanted to sleep like this. Fortunately, no one knows, and if he dies, no one will know. It's just that when a person dies and no one knows where you came from, it's really a sadness, and this kind of thought flashes through my mind.

The moon is like practice, and the dead trees outside the fence are painted on the jade plate, which is even more desolate. Lin Ziyun couldn't help but shout in his heart, what is he living for?

Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, or continue to learn for the sake of the saints?

He also thought that if he is good, he will help the world, and if he is poor, he will be good alone.

He also admired the open-mindedness of tens of thousands of mansions and the fact that I was alone and frozen.

He also had the ambition of worrying about his people when he lived in the temple and worried about his king when he was far away from the rivers and lakes.

It's just that he can't even take care of himself now, and he's just an ordinary person who can't be more ordinary. He can't cultivate, he has no friends, no relatives, and he only has one life left that doesn't belong to him, a cheap life!

In the past year, it has been like a dream of Nanke, and the vicissitudes of the world have been tasted, and I will never be a peaceful person from now on.

Lin Ziyun would rather be a Wuling person by himself, maybe there will be no pain and no thoughts in this way. After he came out of the Seven Stars Secret Realm, he didn't know that there was a Han, regardless of Wei and Jin. But the blood on his body, the bitterness of the tears in the corners of his eyes and his lips made him understand.

Lin Ziyun, you can't be a coward, you can't be a treacherous and unfilial person.

Stand up and keep your head up. The world will not be without your foothold. You must not let go, the debt you owe still needs to wait for you to repay, the person who waits for you is still waiting for you, you can't fall.

Yes, when you are most helpless and destitute. Learn to learn from the platform, do everything you can, and do what you want to do to be successful.

"Qi Refining Decision" appeared in Lin Ziyun's mind, and he didn't know why, Lin Ziyun, who was born from death, suddenly understood some words that he couldn't understand before. Suddenly realized, there is a feeling that the heart is like a mirror.

It is better to think all day than to learn in a moment. It is better to climb high and see.

Inducing qi into the body, Lin Ziyun gritted his teeth and tried again and again. Even if there is still no trace of aura entering the body, Lin Ziyun knows that he understands the Tao in his heart, and one day he will be able to enter the house.

When he heard this, the young man was surprised and delighted.

Without the decadence of the past, he knew that even ants born on the ground had their own way of living. The worm has no claws and teeth, eats the soil on the top, and drinks the yellow spring below. Relying on perseverance and faith, even ants can do unthinkable things through their own efforts.

As soon as he became an immortal, Lin Ziyun knew that his path to immortality had become today.

It was only when the white dew condensed slightly that the young man slowly got up.

Through the candle flame, Lin Ziyun looked at Zijuan's small figure, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

Near the window, the little girl is dressed in thin clothes. fell asleep with her hands on the wooden table, and Lin Ziyun took a quilt to cover her.

Extinguishing the candle, Lin Ziyun couldn't help but think of the woman who was dressed in white and snowy, like a goddess.

There was too much sorrow for this night, and I couldn't get rid of it, so I endured it. Lin Ziyun sighed, and just quietly watched Xiao Zijuan fall asleep quietly. Her narrow eyelashes are drawn on her eyes, and those beautiful eyelashes seem to hide her thoughts in her heart.

lost his father and mother when he was young, and he had to take care of his grandmother. For a while, I couldn't help but think of the little girl yesterday, saying that she was going to take herself away, as if she was looking for some fairy master. There are too many people in this world, and too many people are more unfortunate than themselves.

Complaining is the attitude of the weak. Being responsible is the style of the strong.

Thinking of this, Lin Ziyun's eyes showed a rare look of pity, and he touched Zijuan's hair dotingly.

What is missed is wrong after all. Only by cherishing what is in front of you can you find peace of mind.
