The end of soul!
The gentle breath made it hard to open his eyes. Yu Sheng looked up and sensed his surroundings, frowning and saying, "Where is this place? Am I not forming a seal? How could this be..."
The trickle of water continuously provides strength, making people so warm that they don't want to resist.
I don’t know how many years have passed!
Wow!
With a cry, everything became clear, and Yu Sheng had vaguely guessed where he was.
The place of remembrance, the beginning of all things!
Sure enough, after an unknown amount of time, Yu Sheng opened his eyes, leaving an old man sighing alone, looking at Yu Sheng in the cradle with tearful eyes, and vaguely seeing the two of them leaving.
“Grandpa…” Seeing this, Yu Sheng felt a pain in his heart. The first person he saw when he opened his eyes was not his parents, but his grandpa.
Time flies like an arrow, and every moment is so clear. The imprint of time records those long-forgotten memories and flows into the soul.
"Grandpa, what are father and mother? Why do people say that I am a wild child without a father or a mother!" Unknowingly, the baby has turned into a porcelain doll-like child.
When she was a child, Yu Sheng was very fair and tender, just like a delicate little girl.
Watching this recollection, Yu Sheng was speechless, "Damn, is this me? I've grown ugly. No, this must not be me! How could I be so beautiful? Am I so narcissistic that I actually beautify myself? This must be the case..."
The old man touched Yu Sheng's head and explained, "Dad and Mom are the ones who gave birth to you. Anyway, they gave birth to you, so it doesn't matter whether you exist or not. It's enough to have grandpa and you! You must remember that your future path is always under your feet. No matter when, you must have the courage to move forward. Grandpa will always be by your side."
"Oh! I am the bravest person in our village. I didn't even cry when I was stared at by a wasp last time." Little Yu Sheng smiled and said proudly.
The old man smiled and said, "That's not courage!"
"Why not? The adults in the village all said, look how brave Yu Sheng is, and now look at you still crying. It's funny to think about it now, those guys cried so hard when they were stung by a wasp..." Yu Sheng touched his little head and smiled with some gloating.
The old man touched Yu Sheng's little head with his big hand and said with a smile: "So they are just lying to children. You have to remember that true courage is the magical power that allows you to stand up when you are in dire straits. It can keep you safe at any time and in any place. What you are doing now is just bravery, which has nothing to do with courage. Courage is something that requires constant self-improvement and training."
“So magical!? Then I want to become a person with real courage.” Xiao Yusheng said with a clenched fist.
The old man smiled and said kindly: "Of course, you are already a brave man. You will have the courage to face all difficulties in the future."
"Well, I am grandpa's grandson..."
Time is beautiful!
Before I knew it, I was already seven years old. It was a gloomy autumn day, and two strange men and women came to the Yu family.
"Grandpa, look, I caught a big fish. I'll make fish soup for you. You must eat more tonight. It's not good to have a bad appetite. Look, your hair has turned white..." Yu Sheng was covered in mud and rushed into the house with a big fish weighing three or four pounds in his arms, with a smile on his face.
In those days, the fish in the village had no seasoning and was almost always eaten by beauties. It seems a little funny to think about it now.
Young and ignorant, they don’t know what life and death are!
There is still innocence in his eyes.
Sitting on the armchair, the old man waved and called Xiao Yusheng to his side, pointed at the two people beside him and said, "Xiao Yusheng, come here, these are your parents!"
"Parents!" Xiao Yusheng looked at the two of them strangely, thought for a few seconds and said, "Hello, are your parents the guests? Wait a minute, I'll go cook!"
As he said this, Yu Sheng rushed into the kitchen holding the big fish.
At night, after dinner, Xiao Yusheng was washing the old man's feet when he heard the old man suddenly say in a low voice: "Xiao Yusheng, leave with your parents tomorrow."
"Leaving!? Are you visiting relatives?" Yu Sheng asked curiously.
Shaking his head, the old man thought for a moment and said, "I have nothing more to teach you. But you still have a long future ahead of you, why don't you go study abroad?"
"Reading!? What is that? What's the use of it?" Yu Sheng asked curiously.
The old man took a breath and said, "After you finish your studies, you can become the village chief when you grow up. Isn't that amazing!"
"Really? But what will happen to grandpa after I'm gone?" Yu Sheng asked in confusion.
The old man smiled and said, "How can I, a grown man, starve to death? When you finish your studies, take me to the city to enjoy life, okay?"
"Will it take a long time to read?" Yu Sheng asked.
The old man sighed, tears streaming down his face, nodded and said, "About ten years. You must promise me that you will make a name for yourself and become a useful person."
"Grandpa, you're such a grown-up and you're still crying! Okay, I promise you. I will definitely make it in life. Then I'll let you live a happy life. But you have to take care of yourself when I'm not at home." Seeing the old man so sad, Yu Sheng nodded and agreed quickly.
"Well! Now I feel relieved. You are a smart and brave child. No matter what difficulties you encounter, you will not be defeated, right!?" The old man touched Yu Sheng's little head and said his final goodbye.
"Yes! I am your grandfather's grandson, and nothing can knock me down." Yu Sheng nodded vigorously.
The old man sighed and shook his head, "But you will be knocked down eventually. Life is long. When you fall down and stand up again, I hope you are still you. How about agreeing to this last request of your grandfather?"
"Grandpa, you're so weird. After being knocked down and standing up again, of course I will be myself. Could I become someone else?" Yu Sheng said in confusion.
However, the old man said very seriously: "There are too many temptations in this world, such as money, fame, and beauty. The more you have, the more likely they are to change you without you realizing it, and make you become like other people. So promise me that you will never become someone else, okay? Always keep this brave attitude of moving forward, even though it may be tiring. But it is better than regretting it."
"I don't understand! But I still promise you! Don't cry, it's not like I won't be able to come back. It makes you feel like I'm not going to study, but to the battlefield. When Xiaopang's father went to the battlefield, his family didn't cry so much." Yu Sheng said in confusion.
"I'm not crying, I'm happy! You little brat, you dare to laugh at your grandpa. You have really grown up, and your skin is itching again, right?" The old man said with a smile.
"Grandpa can't beat me anyway!" Yu Sheng said with a face.
The old man picked up his cane and pretended to hit him, saying, "I can't deal with a stinky boy like you! Stop right there, I can't beat you, right? Why are you running?"
"… "
“Is that really the case? I’ve been persisting on this for more than ten years, but in the end... the monkey that opened the lock—got carried away by success? That’s it, but how did Tang Ziran see that? I obviously didn’t even realize it myself. But what exactly is going on with my current state? No matter what, I should be able to get out of this state when I see the end. Goodbye, Grandpa. I hope I haven’t completely disappointed you in heaven, but if it’s you, you will probably forgive me…” Yu Sheng touched the tip of his nose and said with a smile on his face.
