Suffering is a blessing
In the ancient East, there was a small village called Qingxi, and there was a strange legend in the village. It is said that at the foot of an unnamed mountain deep in the village, in the middle of the night, a strange light flickers, accompanied by a low cry, as if some secret is buried deep in the depths of the night. The villagers avoided talking about it for fear of causing unnecessary trouble.
There was an old man in the village, named Li Bo, who was over the age of old, gray-haired, but in good spirits. Li Bo was a herb picker, and he often went into the mountains and forests alone to find those rare medicinal herbs. Although the villagers were full of fear of the mountain, Lieber was never afraid, believing that as long as he was in awe, he would be safe.
On this day, as usual, Li Bo set foot on the road to the deep mountains with a bamboo basket on his back and a shovel in his hand. The mountain road was rugged, and Lieber walked cautiously, his steps were slow, but each step seemed firm and powerful.
After walking for a long time, Li Bo finally came to the foot of the mountain. By this time, it was getting late, and there was silence all around, except for a few wild beast roars in the distance. Li Bo looked up and saw that the top of the mountain was covered with clouds and mist, and the strange light was faintly visible. He took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and began the difficult climb.
The mountain road became steeper and steeper, and Lieber had to climb up with difficulty with both hands and feet. Just as he was about to reach the top of the mountain, suddenly, a burst of laughter broke the silence around him. Li Bo was shocked, and followed the prestige, only to see a young boy in red standing not far away, holding a branch in his hand, grimacing at him.
Although Li Bo was a little unhappy in his heart, he thought that it was strange for a child to appear in the deep mountains, so he suppressed the anger in his heart, smiled and said to the child: "Little doll, are you playing here alone? ”
When the young boy heard this, he didn't care, he grinned and said, "Old uncle, are you here to collect medicine? Let me tell you, I have hidden all the medicinal materials here, and you can't find them." With that, there was another burst of laughter, and he turned and ran into the woods.
Seeing this, although Li Bo had doubts in his heart, he didn't think much about it and continued to climb up. However, what happened next was something he didn't expect. Whenever he was about to find a rare herb, the boy would suddenly appear, snatch the herb, and disappear into the woods with a giggling face. Although Li Bo was angry, he thought that he was too old to deal with children, so he had to give up.
In this way, under the play of a child, Li Bo was busy all night, but he found nothing. By the time he returned to the base of the mountain exhausted, it was already getting dark. He sat on a large rock, looking at the empty bamboo basket in his hand, and couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sense of loss in his heart.
At that moment, the boy appeared in front of him again. He held a small golden box in his hand, and with a smug smile on his face, he said, "Old uncle, what do you think this is?"
Li Bo looked up and saw that the small box was emitting a dazzling light, which seemed to contain some kind of mysterious power. His heart moved, and he asked, "Little doll, what's in this box?"
The boy grinned and said, "This is a treasure I found in the mountains, which can cure all diseases." I see that you picked the medicine all night, and you didn't pick anything, so I'll give this to you. With that, he handed the small box to Lieber's hand.
Li Bo took the box, only to feel a warm current coming from the palm of his hand, straight to the bottom of his heart. He was grateful in his heart, and hurriedly thanked the child. However, when he looked up, he found that the child had disappeared. Only the small golden box was left, lying quietly in his hand.
Li Bo returned home, opened the small box, and saw a crystal clear elixir lying inside. As soon as his heart moved, he took out the elixir and put it in his mouth. Suddenly, a cool breath entered from his throat and quickly spread to his limbs. Li Bo only felt refreshed, as if he was much younger.
Since then, Lieber's health has been getting better and better, and his ability to collect medicine has become more and more powerful. The villagers came to ask for advice, and Li Bo did not hesitate to pass on his experience and experience to them. And the strange legend under the nameless mountain gradually spread in the village with Li Bo's adventure.
Whenever there was a dead of night, Li Bo would always think of the boy in red, and his heart was full of gratitude. He understood that all this was a gift from the child, and it was also a blessing from his own losses. He often told the villagers that a loss is a blessing, and sometimes, what seems to be a loss often brings unexpected gains.
In this way, the story of Li Bo has been passed down in Qingxi Village and has become a legend in the hearts of generations of people. And the strange legend under the nameless mountain has become less terrifying because of Lieber's adventure. The villagers began to believe that as long as they were in awe and brave in the face, they could find the true meaning of life from the strange.
Time flies, time flies. Although many years have passed since the story of Lieber, every time someone mentions it, they can still feel the strange atmosphere and strong legend. Li Bo has already become a legend in Qingxi Village, and his deeds inspire the villagers to bravely face all kinds of difficulties and challenges in life.
Lieber's later years were very peaceful and serene. He still goes up the mountain every day to collect medicines, but more often than not, he is in the small teahouse in the village, sharing stories of the past with the villagers and teaching them the art of collecting medicines. He always had a warm smile on his face, as if the years had not left too many traces on him.
However, the peaceful life did not make Li Bo forget the boy in red who once teased him and gave him a treasure. He often walked alone to the foot of the mountain in the dead of night, looking at the strange light that flickered, and silently remembered in his heart his gratitude to the child.
One day, Li Bo was collecting medicine in the mountains when he suddenly felt dizzy. He knew that he was getting old, and that his days were numbered. So he decided to go to the foot of the mountain again, to find the boy in red, and to say goodbye to him.
Lieber climbed the hill with great difficulty and came to the familiar woods. He looked around, but he couldn't see the child. Just as he was feeling disappointed, a breeze blew, and a crisp child's voice came from the woods: "Old uncle, are you looking for me?"
Li Bo followed the prestige, and saw the boy in red standing under a big tree, looking at him with a smile. Li Bo was overjoyed, and hurriedly walked over and said, "Little doll, I'm here to say goodbye to you." I'm afraid time is running out, and I want to thank you for your gifts. ”
When the childish boy heard this, a look of pity appeared on his face. He said: "Old uncle, why are you so pessimistic? Life and death are fateful, and wealth is in heaven. If you do good deeds and accumulate virtue in your life, you will naturally be rewarded. ”
When Li Bo heard this, although he felt a little emotional in his heart, he also felt a lot relieved. He smiled and said, "Little doll, you're right. Life and death are fateful, and I can't change it. But I hope that after I am gone, my story will continue to be passed on and inspire more people to face life bravely. ”
The boy nodded and said, "Old uncle, I will help you fulfill your wish." Don't worry, your story will be passed on in Qingxi Village forever. With that, his figure flashed and disappeared into the woods.
Soon after, Lieber died peacefully. At his funeral, the villagers came to mourn and tell about Lieber's deeds. And the legend of the boy in red has become more mysterious and legendary with the death of Li Bo.
Since then, the people of Qingxi Village have believed that suffering is a blessing. They bravely face the difficulties and challenges in life, and create a better life with diligence and wisdom. And the legend of the boy in red has also become an eternal source of faith and strength in their hearts. After Li Bo's death, Qingxi Village seemed to be quiet, but as his story circulated, the lives of the villagers quietly changed. They no longer feared the nameless mountain, but began to go up the mountain with reverence to search for medicinal herbs, hoping to receive a gift from heaven like Li Bo.
When night fell, the strange light still flickered on the top of the mountain, but the villagers no longer felt afraid, but felt that it was Li Bo and the boy in red who were guarding them. When they go up the mountain, they always pray silently, hoping to meet the legendary child and get a blessing of their own.
Day after day, year after year, the villagers of Qingxi Village gradually discovered that the medicinal herbs in the mountains were becoming more and more abundant, as if there was really some mysterious power secretly helping them. Their lives are getting better and better, and their lives are getting richer and richer.
And the legend of the boy in red has also been passed down from generation to generation in the village. Whenever a new child is born, the elders will always tell the story of Li Bo and the boy in red, telling them that suffering is a blessing and that they must face everything in life bravely.
Time flies, and Qingxi Village has undergone earth-shaking changes. The thatched huts and mud houses of the past have now been transformed into blue brick houses, and the narrow country roads have been transformed into wide and flat avenues. In the hearts of the villagers, they always remember the story of Li Bo and the boy in red, as well as the proverb that "suffering is a blessing".
One day, a young herb picker accidentally found an extremely rare medicinal herb in the mountains. He was ecstatic and wanted to keep the herb for himself. However, when he was about to pick, Lieber's voice suddenly sounded in his head: "Young man, remember, a loss is a blessing." Sometimes, letting go is also a gain. ”
The young man was stunned for a moment, and then understood the deep meaning. He put down the shovel in his hand and silently left the medicinal herb. A few days later, when he passed by there again, he found that the herb had been picked by someone else. But instead of feeling lost or remorseful, he felt a sense of peace in his heart.
He knew that this was what Li Bo said: "Suffering is a blessing." Although he didn't get the medicinal herb, he got something more precious - a heart that knows how to let go and cherish.
Since then, the villagers of Qingxi Village have followed the motto "Suffering is a blessing" even more convinced. They know how to maintain a balance between gains and losses, and they know how to remain resilient in the face of difficulties. Although their lives are still full of hardships and challenges, their hearts are full of hope and strength.
And the strange legend under the nameless mountain has also become more mysterious and legendary with the changes in Qingxi Village. It has become a belief in the hearts of the villagers, a source of strength that inspires them to keep moving forward.
In this way, under the belief that suffering is a blessing, the villagers of Qingxi Village live a happy and fulfilling life. They use their diligence and wisdom to create their own legendary stories. And the legend of the boy in red will forever be passed on in this ancient land and become the eternal legend and memory of Qingxi Village.
