After hanging the jade pendant around his neck, Ning Tao looked around carefully and began to look for a way out. After exploring for a long time, he found no way to leave here.

Ning Tao, who had no choice but to sit on the ground, took out the magical jade pendant he had just obtained and began to study...

After researching for a long time with no results, Ning Tao's little face wrinkled up in annoyance. He looked helplessly at this little jade pendant and scratched his head hard in dissatisfaction.

After Ning Tao tried dripping blood, hitting with stones, and soaking in water, all methods were of no use. (If you want to say where the water comes from, of course it is the water of life that he produces every day, hahaha.)

So he said to himself viciously: "What is the use of this thing?"

After saying that, he sat down on the ground with some annoyance, hung the jade pendant back around his neck without feeling dirty, and looked up at the sky.

The sky at this time was completely dark, but today's sky was different from the past. There were no stars in the sky that should have been bright.

Ning Tao couldn't help but think with some melancholy, "I wonder if my brother Ning Feng has found anyone to save him after so long?" While Ning Tao was waiting for others to save him, he suddenly noticed a faint sound coming from the distance.

Ning Tao was frightened by the fire and quickly hid behind the stone and observed secretly.

After a while, the fire in the distance got closer and closer. When the fire came in, Ning Tao suddenly discovered that the person coming was none other than Ning Hutou, who was holding a torch and looking for a way out.

Surprised, Ning Tao jumped out from behind the stone and said, "Dad, why are you here? Have you come to save me?"

Ning Hutou, who was looking for a way out while holding a torch, walked forward along the crack, until he reached the place where Ning Tao fell.

Ning Hutou, who was concentrating on looking for a way out, was startled by the sudden black shadow. He was about to slash with his knife when he suddenly heard the voice of his son Ning Tao and quickly sheathed the knife.

Ning Hutou's stress reaction scared Ning Tao, who was quite surprised to see his father, to the point of breaking into a cold sweat.

"A Tao, why are you here?"

"You brat, what are you doing? You were so startled, but luckily I sheathed the knife quickly, otherwise I would have cut off your head!" Ning Hutou said, and slapped Ning Tao on the head.

"Ouch! Dad, it hurts!"

Ning Tao was beaten so hard that he shrank his neck, bared his teeth and shouted.

Then he shrunk his neck and sneered, asking: "Dad, why are you here? Are you here to save me?"

"I'm not here to save you. I fell down too. Why are you here? Where is your brother?" An annoyed Ning Hu asked Ning Tao.

"Ah! I, Ah Feng and I were carrying firewood and Lao Huang on their way home. Suddenly there was an earthquake. I didn't have time to react before I fell. Ah Feng had already gone to call someone to save me, and he didn't know

What's going on? It's already dark, and no one is here yet!"

Ning Hu frowned when he heard Ning Tao's description, thought for a moment, sighed and said, "I'm afraid the situation at home isn't too good, otherwise it wouldn't have taken so long."

After saying that, he seemed to think of something and asked Ning Tao: "Are you injured?"

Ning Tao was stunned for a moment when he heard Ning Hutou's words, and replied with a smile: "Hey, your son is blessed with great fortune. Apart from his torn clothes, he didn't suffer any injuries."

Ning Hutou, who had a lot of things in his mind, didn't think much at this time. He just said: "Go and bring the firewood. Let's eat something first and wait for them!"

After saying that, he took out the roe deer legs that were carried on his back, used a knife to peel off the skin, cut off the meat, wrapped it with branches, inserted it next to the fire that had been raised by Ning Tao, and roasted the roe deer meat.

In order to make the journey easier, Ning Hutou had no choice but to dismember the roe deer on the road, leaving only two hind legs to carry it with him in case of emergency.

After a while, the small pieces of dismembered roe deer meat were roasted. The father and son of the Ning family, who were already very hungry, did not bother to cook it, and just started eating with grinning teeth, until they were full and full.

The two people sat by the fire, silent. Ning Hutou was worried about the tragic death of his brother and the plight of the father and son and had no intention of talking; Ning Tao, the stupid young man, was secretly worried because he suddenly got such a magical treasure.

consider.

After another half an hour like this, there was finally movement from above the crack. "Ning Tao, Ning Tao, are you down there?"

The visitors were none other than Uncle Shuanzi and the others from the village who were good friends of his father Ning Hutou.

"Shuanzi, we are here!"

Before Ning Tao could answer, Ning Hutou shouted out. Upon hearing Ning Hutou's shout, Shuanzi and the others above were stunned for a moment, then became happy and asked: "Brother Hutou,

Why did you come to this place? You went to the mountains for so long and didn't come back. Everyone is very worried. Where are my second brother and Baojin?"

The questions from Shuanzi and others made Ning Hu's face darken, and then he shouted angrily: "Stop talking nonsense, quickly throw down the rope!"

When Shuanzi and others heard Ning Hutou's reply, they had a bad feeling in their hearts, but they kept moving and quickly threw the rope down the crack.

Ning Hutou tied the things on his body firmly, and fixed Ning Tao in his arms in front of him. The end of the rope fixed himself, and he climbed up using his hands and feet.

The people above also used their strength, and soon they were pulled up together.

When they reached the top, Ning Tao lay on the ground without grace and showed a silly smile that was about to survive the disaster. Ning Feng cried out and hugged his brother.

Ning Hutou was surrounded by several adults here, and they were all asking: "What's wrong? Where are Brother Hutou, Bu Er, Bao Jin and the others?"

Although everyone has some speculations in their minds, they still want to hear the confirmation from the person involved.

"No, brothers Bu Er and Bao Jin went with me to the mountains to pick red velvet. On the way back, we encountered a subsidence. We fell into a crack together. Bu Er and Bao Jin brothers both lost their lives. I was the only one who survived by luck.

Come down."

Although it seemed that Ning Hutou didn't care, the glint in the corners of his eyes still betrayed his current mood. After all, they all came out of the army together, and their life-long friendship and relationship were not comparable to that of ordinary people.

Everyone was silent when they heard such words. Just like that, a group of people walked toward the village down the mountain with a hint of gloom in their hearts.

As everyone was walking, a bright light suddenly appeared in the sky, shining like a huge star, hanging in the sky. Everyone looked up at the sky and were amazed. In the past, everyone had never seen such a bright and strange star.

, and then thinking about today's natural disasters, I can't help but feel a little worried, and I don't know whether this strange star is good or bad.

After a while, the stars turned into meteors of different colors and scattered away...

A group of people walked down the mountain with heavy hearts under the extremely dark night.

On the way, Ning Hutou asked about the situation in the village. Zhuzi and others told Ning Hutou the truth about the situation in the village. Although the village leader had led the villagers in emergency relief, there were many casualties.

And because it was cooking time, the burning stoves caused many fires in the village. In addition, the earthquake struck so suddenly that many people had no time to come out, killing and injuring many people.

Fortunately, Ning Hutou's embroiderer is not seriously ill, she just had a fetal movement, and now the Wen woman in the village has begun to deliver her baby.

Ning Hutou couldn't help but speed up his steps when he heard about his mother-in-law's condition.

As for the strange stars in the sky, after they turned into large meteors, they flashed with streamers of light one after another, flying in all directions, but they were no longer as spectacular as they were at the beginning...

When Ning Hutou returned home, he heard a hoarse scream coming from half of the house that had collapsed, and his heart was in his throat. He rubbed his hands and walked back and forth, as if

The restless look showed his nervousness and anxiety at this time.

Listening to their mother's heartbreaking screams in the house and their father's current appearance, the two brothers Ning Tao and Ning Feng were also in the yard with anxious faces.

When Ning Hutou's family was in a panic, the village chief Wang Gang brought a few men to Ning Hutou. When he saw Ning Hutou, he gave a few words of comfort and asked: "Brother Hu, how are your brothers and sisters doing?"

?”

Being a new child in the family of the village's military chief is a big event for the village, and at this juncture, some superstitious people even regard whether Xu Xiu Niang can successfully give birth as a matter of fortune-telling.

For Wang Gang, Ning Hutou once served as Paoze who went into battle with him to kill the enemy. Even though the village was a mess and there were many things that he, the village leader, had to preside over and deal with, he had to put down his work and come over to take a look.

, care about the safety of your brothers and mother-in-law.

Ning Hutou chatted briefly with Wang Gang and others for a while, explained the situation of his entry into the mountain, and asked about the current specific situation in the village.

Wang Gang and others simply informed Ning Hu about the situation in the village, gave him a few words of comfort, and asked him to relax and not worry about the affairs of the village for now. He could concentrate on taking care of his younger siblings here, and then led the others to continue to fight.

During the disaster relief operation in the village.

Not long after Wang Gang and others left, a woman who was helping Po Wen in the house ran out of the house in a hurry and shouted anxiously to Ning Hutou: "Brother Hutou, my sister-in-law is having a difficult delivery. Po Wang asked if you have any old ginseng at home."

What? What should I do? My sister-in-law is having a difficult delivery and is about to die. Can you think of a solution quickly?"

Ning Hu's head froze when he heard this, and his face turned pale instantly. There was no old ginseng available at home at this time.

At this time, Ning Hutou had completely lost his mind, his mind went blank, and for a moment he felt that all sounds were moving away from him.

The two brothers listened to their mother's voice getting quieter and quieter, and watched the anxious woman crying and shouting, pulling at the stupid Ning Hu's head.

Ning Tao, who also had an anxious look on his face, had an idea and slapped Ning Hutou on the face. With a snap, Ning Hutou, who was already stunned, froze and woke up.

The excitement just now made Ning Hutou, who was confused, suddenly think of the red velvet spiritual seed he brought back. Thinking that maybe this thing could help, he hurriedly took out the cloth bag wrapped in mud, took the spiritual seed, and hurriedly

Run into the house.

(The accumulation of soil creates mountains, and wind and rain stir them up; the accumulation of water, creates abyss, and dragons emerge; the accumulation of good deeds creates virtue, and the gods are satisfied with themselves, and the holy mind is prepared. Therefore, if you don’t accumulate steps, you can’t reach a thousand miles; if you don’t accumulate small streams, you can’t create rivers and seas.

A qiji can't move ten steps with one leap; a horse can drive ten times, but the merit lies in perseverance. If you persevere, the rotten wood will not be broken; if you persevere, gold and stone can be carved. Earthworms have no sharp claws and teeth, nor strong bones and muscles. They eat dirt from the top and drink from the bottom.

Huangquan means one intention. Six crabs kneel down with two claws. It is not the cave of a snake and eel that has nothing to rely on, so it means being impatient. This is Xunzi's "Encouragement to Learning". I saw it again today accidentally. Every time I see it, there are many things.

I have the same feeling, maybe this is the legendary Ri Ri Xin? Maybe.

There is rarely instant success in life. Of course, there are lucky ones that you cannot envy, but those are very few cases. People's success cannot be separated from hard work. Hard work may not necessarily lead to success, but if you don't work hard, you will definitely not succeed.

success.

There are methods and ways to work hard. Most people's IQs are not much different. You may see some people who don't work very hard but can always achieve the results they want at critical times.

Here we have to talk about the aspect of intention. In Zen theory, the word "madness" can be used to explain that practicing martial arts can lead to madness, studying can lead to madness, and learning can lead to madness. Some people will perform these behaviors to a degree that is unimaginable to you.

I think this is a kind of extroversion and introversion. You can see the appearance of infatuation, but you can't see the internal image of infatuation. He uses a kind of attention that you can't see to learn what he needs and absorb it.

Come into yourself.

So sometimes it makes you think that he doesn't work very hard, but you can't see his efforts from the surface. Of course, this explanation is too one-sided, and it also involves concentration, the degree of concentration of a person's attention.

If you are interested, you can try writing from 1 to 100 to see if you can succeed and make sure you don't make mistakes. Often when you reach a certain age, you can write it down, but most children cannot complete this project.

This involves the qualitative thing again. It's a bit far-fetched as I write. This is the author's first book. When I was in school, I always had an idea to write an online novel or something. I don't need to make a lot of money, as long as I can support my family.

That was fine, and later I wanted to be a university teacher.

For various reasons, I entered an agency job and worked hard for a while. However, I found that I still couldn't turn myself into a political person, so I used my spare time to pick up something that could be said to be my dream, and write a book.

To make my life simpler, I wrote the first pen practice book. I thought about the outline, but then overturned it. I just wrote whatever I wanted. If there is anything bad, please point it out, although I may not necessarily change it.
