"Uncle, I...I still have to rush to travel. There are still five days left before the seven-day deadline. Uncle, please let me go."

I almost looked at the old man with a pleading look, but the old man was determined to eat the weight, grabbed my shoulder, and pulled him home without saying a word. I thought to myself, I'm in trouble now...

This Buzhou Mountain is known as the sacred mountain leading to the heavenly realm. The mountain is decent and positive. Even the mountain people living on the hillside live the same as the people on the plain below. Soon, I came to the old man's home, a small farmyard. The old man ordered his two sons to cut a pile in the yard and tied me up on it. The eldest son, the middle-aged man, guarded me, saying that if the green flower is alive, I could live, and if the green flower dies, I will bear it with one knife.

Cuihua never woke up because I didn’t hear the sound in the house anymore. The surroundings of the yard were full of life, which made people feel worried and depressed.

One day passed, and I calculated the time with heartache. Today, there were only five days left. In five days, can I climb to the top of the mountain to get the elixir? But... Even if I could climb to the top of the mountain in five days, just imagine, I am like this now, can I continue to rush tomorrow? It is impossible. Maybe Cuihua doesn’t wake up tomorrow, and I will still be tied up like this, maybe the day after tomorrow...

Thinking of the difficulties, I couldn't help but shed a few tears. When the middle-aged man next to me saw me like this, he immediately sneered: "You boy, what tricks do you want to play? Let me tell you, you can't move now. If you still think about how to escape, I will cut you with a shovel."

"Brother, I really save people, not harm people. Please believe me. There is also a seriously ill old mother in my family. She is looking forward to me day and night to go back early to fulfill her filial piety. Please be kind and let me go."

Every sentence I came from my heart and almost knelt on the ground to beg for mercy, but I was so tied up that I couldn't kneel down even if I wanted to, so I had to watch the middle-aged man get anxious.

The middle-aged man sat upright at the door. When he heard my words, he pretended not to hear anything. After a while, he said lightly: "Stay honestly. It's useless if I don't believe you. If my sister-in-law really goes like this, you won't be unfair even if you die."

“Uh…why.”

I was not convinced and quickly retorted.

The middle-aged man looked up at me and said, "You said you were going to save people, but why didn't you see you saving me? I only saw my sister-in-law dying."

"I..." I was so blocked by a middle-aged man's words that I couldn't say a word. Yes, I originally intended to save people, but for a short moment, I was hesitating. If I had made up my mind to rescue them at first, maybe the result would not be like this. After thinking about it, I still defended: "But I am kind-hearted. Even if I can't save your sister-in-law Cuihua, I shouldn't be responsible."

"Fart." The middle-aged man cursed angrily: "You little brat, you know to push the responsibility out. Since you say that your intention is good, why don't you help immediately, but just waste time. You should know that every time you delay half a moment, my sister-in-law and the children in your stomach may face life danger, which will lead to a disaster. Even if your intention is good, in my opinion, being afraid and full of selfishness is also a hypocritical person."

I want to say something, but when I say something, I can't say it anyway. Although the middle-aged man's words were angry words, after careful consideration, it made me suddenly realize. He said it right. If I didn't waste time, Cuihua and the child in my belly might not have had any trouble. Because I was suspected of secular suspicion, Cuihua was still unconscious. Calm down and think about it carefully. I did have it, and it was a big mistake. It seemed that doing good and helping others, but it was a disaster due to personal gain. The ancients said that the heart was selfless and the world was wide. Only the selfless could be fearless...

The sky gradually became brighter. I thought about it for a long time and thought a lot. At this moment, the old lady suddenly heard the old lady's surprise cry in the room, "Cuihua wakes up, Cuihua wakes up."

Not long after, the old man came to me one after another with his family, loosened his ties for me, and said something grateful. I did not blame them for tying me. On the contrary, I sincerely said: "I am indeed at fault this time. Thank you for letting me understand a truth. Only by doing good with a selfless heart can it be true and kindness..."

After saying goodbye to the old man and his family, I set off again with ease. Whenever I think of the middle-aged man's words, I always grinned. It turns out that things in the world are so simple, but people's hearts are too complicated.
