Chapter 8 Great Wisdom

"Woof woof!"

Several calls of wild dogs came from the quiet entrance of the village, and an old man wearing a shabby cloth walked out from outside with a hoe on his shoulder and his shawl hanging loose. The streaks of time have not worn away his long-lasting spirit.

, the exuberant look in his eyes from time to time all shows a kind of energy that is getting stronger and stronger.

Looking around, this is a lonely village in the mountains.

There are only a dozen dilapidated houses scattered here and there, most of which have a mud wall in front of the door and a few wooden houses covered with thatched roofs behind.

A giant tree that is tens of meters tall is entangled at the entrance of the village, lazily hanging branches that can be counted with the naked eye. Several dexterous birds are singing, playing and dancing on it.

The name of the village is Yueyang.

People call him Beishan Foolish Old Man.

Yueyang Village is located in the vast mountains. During the period, Taihang and Wangwu Mountains have a radius of 700 meters and a height of 700 to 8000 feet. The dangerous mountains and winding mountain roads separate the vast mountains between Jizhou and Yueyang Village. If you want to go there, then

It takes more than ten days to walk. For Yueyang Village, a village with only a hundred people, this is only a round trip once a year.

but.

Even so, Yueyang Village is located in the mountains, with verdant green and fertile land. Unless necessary, very few villagers would leave this place to go to Jizhou, which is full of flowers.

The old man called Yu Gong.

He has two sons and one daughter, all of whom are married, and further down are four grandchildren.

"Taihang, Wangwu?"

Yu Gong was carrying the hoe, his eyes sparkling with a light that had never appeared before. He walked like flying, and soon he came to the hut where his family of eight lived.

"grandfather!"

"grandfather!"

In front of the hut, four children were laughing and playing. The older one was only thirteen or four years old, and the younger one had just learned to run. They were playing, and when they saw Yu Gong, he stuck to it like plaster on a dog's nose.

On one side, it was hung on Yugong's arms, shaking and shouting, so lively.

"Si baby, grandpa has something to do today, please go and call your parents."

Yugong smiled and chatted with his four grandchildren for a while, then pretended to have a straight face and said to them.

Hear the words.

The four children also laughed and fell off his body. For fear of being delayed, they rushed towards the nearby huts. Another one ran towards a land in the distance where vegetables and fruits were grown.

go.

It won't take a moment.

Two men and one woman, plus their partners, a family of twelve, all stood in the thatched hut.

"I made a decision for my father!"

The light that appeared in Yu Gong's eyes made these children a little strange, but they still listened respectfully: "Taihang, Wangwu and other mountains are blocking it. If we Yueyang villagers want to go out, we have to travel for more than a month. For such a long time, for me, Yueyang

In terms of village development, we simply cannot get effective help.”

"So..." Yugong raised his head and looked at the looming mountains outside the house and said solemnly: "I plan to span the two places and dig a highway from them so that generations of generations in Yueyang can travel unimpeded!"

"Father!"

"This... but if we have to move out of the way, is it a short-term achievement?"

Everyone was shocked.

His wife hesitated and said: "You are so old, how can you move those two mountains in Taihang and Wangwu?"

"It's decided!"

Yu Gong stood up, raised his hand and slapped it on the wooden table. The whole wooden table suddenly shook, making everyone's eyes twitch in disbelief.

"Starting from tomorrow, the women and children at home will be working hard at home, and the man will move mountains with me!"

"Yes, father!"



The next day.

Foolish Old Man, his second son, and his third grandson carried hoes and tools on their way.

All the people in the village were confused and asked about it. Yu Gong was moved by his feelings and reason, and attracted four strong men from the village to join in the huge project of opening up the road.

Fine beads of sweat kept falling from Yugong's forehead.

Carrying gravels weighing more than a hundred kilograms on his shoulders, Yugong walked quickly, sending them all to the edge of the Bohai Sea, to the north of the hidden earth. Everyone in Yueyang was surprised that Yugong was so old and suddenly had such a strong body.

, but the village in the mountain has always believed in gods, and they just thought that Yu Gong was the finger of the sky, so more and more people came to help.

So, day after day, year after year.

Yugong's white spots on his cheeks are getting more and more, and his body is no longer as strong as before. His fourth grandson has grown up and brought him two great-grandsons. His two sons are old and their health is getting worse.

This day.

In Yueyang Village, the wise old man Hequ staggered over.

"Foolish Old Man!"

"At that time, I advised you to give up this move, but I didn't expect that you still insist on it today. Look, how many roads can be opened in the two mountains of Taihang Wangwu in the past ten years? And you are about to die of old age, haven't you worked hard for ten years?

All in vain?!"

Dangdang~

A few gravels fell from the equipment that held the gravel and rolled down the mountain road. Yugong's eyes were covered by hanging eyelids, making it difficult to see clearly.

only.

He was not deaf after all.

All Hequ Zhisou's words fell into his ears. He shook his head and made no excuse. He just took a few steps forward. But there was something he wanted to say in his heart. He turned around and looked at Hequ Zhisou with squinted eyes.

, said with a smile: "My son is not me, how can I know where I stand? If I can't find a road to the sky, I still have a son, and my son has a son, and the son has another son, and there will be endless descendants."

But the mountains don’t grow, so why can’t I move out of the main road?”

Hequ Zhisou was stunned.

Yu Gong sighed and walked past, stumbling slowly.

Behind him, the old man stood with his eyes closed. With these words echoing in his mind, some waves suddenly emerged in his heart. For a long time, he opened his eyes and looked at the staggering body in front of him, looking at the shoulders crushed by the heavy objects. Suddenly

He sighed, turned to his son who was following him and sighed: "It turns out it's not Yugong who is stupid, but me. From today on, I, Zhisou, and my family will follow Yugong and do this world-changing move!"

The distant sound blew into my ears along the mountain breeze.

A smile appeared at the corner of Yugong's dry mouth. He looked up at the sky, a clear sky covered by green clouds, letting the scorching light spread down, eroding the earth.

"ten years?"

"Am I happy or foolish?"

Low sighs carrying countless words slowly fell, step by step, legs trembling and staggering.

ten years.

His eyes were blurry and he could only rely on his memory to walk.

ten years.

Even holding the chopsticks with both hands was trembling.

ten years.

The black silk stockings of the past were stained with thick white spots, and a few wrinkles had already spread all over his cheeks. The erosion of the years had erased the past pride in his heart, and he could not forget whether what he did was right.

More than one doubt, more than one hesitation.

only.

When Hequ Zhisou appeared in front of me again, listening to those words, I actually had the feeling that I was the Yugong, not Xiaoyao. Xiaoyao had a vague idea that perhaps in the story of the Legend of Yugong Moving Mountains in the real world,

, Yu Gong’s state of mind at that time was the same as his own.

"This is a humble house, but I am kind to my virtue."

Xiaoyao suddenly thought of this sentence in his heart. At this moment, he had a different understanding of this sentence. Even if the world has thousands of ideas, I will naturally find the path I decided to go. In this case, the opinions of outsiders will not matter.

In my opinion, what is the difference between it and the gravel on the ground beside me?

"Ding! Player Xiaoyao understands his true nature and completes the first test of Qishu's "Tian Shang". Player Xiaoyao will be rewarded with twenty basic freedom points. The second test of Qishu's mission is about to begin!"

A familiar voice that I had not heard for a long time sounded at the right time, and Xiaoyao was startled.

The next moment, he only felt a spin, and he fainted. This scene frightened the surrounding Yueyang Villagers, who all ran over quickly, shouting and shouting.

The foolish old man passed away.

However, generations after generations have worked diligently, going against the grain and never changing their behavior throughout their lives.
