The bottom of the valley. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The bonfire in front of him was burning so much that even though it was a winter morning, the temperature in the cave was very warm, at least it didn't feel cold at all.

Yang Xiaoling sat alone by the fire, quietly pondering, only to feel very confused in his heart.

Murong Ke's slight snoring came into Yang Xiaoling's ears from time to time, and the old man was still sleeping so soundly.

However, Yang Xiaoling really felt a little confused, he couldn't understand that a person could still sleep in such a hole, and he slept soundly.

Especially when this person has such a miserable experience. All of the above really puzzled him.

The bonfire was blazing, and the firewood naturally burned quickly, and after a while, the light of the fire was much smaller than before. Yang Xiaoling had no choice but to get up and add a lot of firewood to the fire, and when the dry firewood met the fire, a burst of warm flames immediately appeared, even more than at the beginning.

Looking at the most ordinary change in front of him, Yang Xiaoling's hand that was playing with the fire suddenly paused.

At this moment, he suddenly felt like a pelican empowerment, and the confusion in his heart was suddenly solved.

Isn't life like this bonfire in front of you, and hope is the spark. Although it is inevitable that there will always be all kinds of setbacks and misfortunes that have been suppressing the flame in our hearts, so that in the most serious cases, we are about to extinguish the fire, but as long as there is hope in our hearts, after the setbacks and misfortunes, our hearts will always burn again, even more vigorously than before.

Just like just now, the silence of the night made Yang Xiaoling think that the fire last night had been completely extinguished, but after he added some new firewood into it, didn't the fire burn again!

It turns out that the human heart is not as fragile as we think. On the contrary, the human heart is far stronger than we think. As long as the hope in our hearts is not extinguished, no matter how much misfortune we have, we will not be able to knock us down.

This is why people become braver and stronger after experiencing setbacks. It's just because, when we encounter misfortune, hope has always been firmly in the deepest part of our hearts.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiaoling smiled. With this smile, his mood suddenly improved a lot.

Then he laughed and walked out of the cave, then stopped at the entrance of the cave and took in the surroundings.

Although he had been in this valley for several days, he had never seen it so seriously as he did today.

As far as the eye looked, the first thing that caught his eye was a pine forest not far from him, although the cold wind was blowing at this time, the tall posture of the pine trees was still so majestic and handsome, as if they were not afraid of the cold and biting cold wave in this winter.

By this time, most of the other vegetation around them had withered, but the dark green needles of the pine trees showed no signs of withering, but were becoming more and more verdant.

Even among the lush foliage, a few bird's chirping sounds can be heard from time to time, like a beautiful piece of music intertwined and echoed in the valley.

If you look closely, you can see a flock of partridges rising in the morning to feed.

It turns out that people are not the only ones who go through all kinds of suffering and suffering. It turns out that all life in this world is fighting against fate unyieldingly.

Life will always give us too many unfortunate encounters, but while life encounters misfortunes, it will also sprout enough strength and courage to deal with all suffering.

Ups and downs are the true meaning of human life.

Yang Xiaoling's eyes rose, and he saw that the layer of mist that had shrouded his head had dissipated at some point, and the morning sun was already shining on the mountain in the distance at this time.

Isn't life the same, suffering and frustration always make people hover on the verge of being lost again and again. Whenever this happens, people's hearts will always be confused and can't see the way forward, but when the fog clears, you will find that the sun is always there.

Moreover, the sun after the fog is always brighter than ever, and at the same time more enthusiastic.

Although the sun had not yet fallen, Yang Xiaoling seemed to be able to feel its warm heat. At this moment, the flame of hope in his heart burned again.

"It seems that you are in a good mood today", Murong Ke's words came into Yang Xiaoling's ears from behind him.

When he turned around, the old man had come out of the cave with a smile, and then stood down beside him, and said, "Have you figured something out?"

Yang Xiaoling nodded subconsciously, but then he was stunned, turned his head and looked at the old man in a little surprise, and wondered: "Senior, don't you know what I'm thinking at the moment?"

Murong Ke smiled faintly and said: "I remember that you said that you were chased and killed to the point of desperation, and you had to choose to jump off the cliff in desperation."

Yang Xiaoling said indifferently: "Yes, I did say so."

Murong Ke smiled again and said, "When I carried you back from the bottom of the cliff that day, you were still in a coma. So you may not know that I have examined your injuries, and it is a little strange to me."

"What's weird"?

"When I examined your injuries, I found that you had no other wounds on your body except for a few contusions that had been scraped by a branch. And, although you were still unconscious, your breath was steady and showed no signs of disorder."

"I didn't expect my predecessor to be such a careful person......", Yang Xiaoling was already a little impressed by the old man's observation, but he was puzzled: "But, what can you say about what you just said?"

Murong Ke still smiled and said, "It's nothing. I was just wondering how a man who had been hunted down to such a desperate situation that he had to choose to jump off a cliff had only a few scratches on his body, and even his breath showed no signs of disorder."

Speaking of this, the old man suddenly turned his head to look directly at Yang Xiaoling, and said lightly: "So, from then on, I knew that you were not forced to jump off the cliff because you were chased and killed by someone at all, but because of some things, you couldn't think about it for a while, and you chose to commit suicide by jumping off the cliff when you were too sad."

Yang Xiaoling was silent, since the old man had seen it, he didn't plan to hide it anymore, so he nodded and said, "Yes, it's true that I can't think about it for a while because of extreme grief, and I feel that it's no longer interesting to live." I thought that I would simply die, and then I thought of jumping off the cliff."

Although he had already understood, but at this moment, when he heard Yang Xiaoling say it himself, Murong Ke still couldn't suppress the surprise in his heart.

He looked shocked and said in surprise: "Why, you are still so young, you are only twenty-five years old this year, why do you want to end your life in such an extreme way?"

"Hehe......", Yang Xiaoling smiled very miserably, and said in silence for a long time: "If it weren't for the despair in my heart that had reached a complete level, so that I had completely lost confidence in life, who would think of committing suicide!"

Murong Ke was silent, a few traces of decline flashed on his vicissitudes of life, and then he couldn't help but sigh and said, "They are all hard-working people, why are there always so many unfortunate people in this world."

However, he immediately smiled again, looked at Yang Xiaoling softly, like a kind elder looking at his child, and said in a harmonious voice: "Can you tell me what happened to you?"

"I ...... I ......", facing the old man's soft but deep gaze, Yang Xiaoling suddenly became a little overwhelmed, he only felt that his secret had been completely seen through by the old man.
