In the ancient East, there is a village surrounded by mountains called "Cuiyun Mountain Residence". There was a family in the village surnamed Li, whose owner, Li Zhong, was a well-traveled merchant, and his wife, Liu, was a gentle and virtuous woman, and they had a son named Li Yi.
Li Yi has been smart and clever since he was a child, and he is full of curiosity and yearning for his father's travel life. However, Li Zhong travels all year round and rarely goes home, and Li Yi's longing for his father is deepening day by day. Whenever Liu mentioned his father, Li Yi always had tears in his eyes and asked, "Mother, when will my father return?" Liu always stroked his head and said softly: "You can go home often, but you can't stay for a long time." Your father has you in his heart, but he has a heavy responsibility and can't stay for long. ”
Time flies, Li Yi gradually grows up, and he longs to travel all over the world like his father and see the prosperity of the world. However, the Liu family hopes that he can stay in the village, inherit the family business, and live a stable life. Li Yi was conflicted in his heart and didn't know where to go.
One day, a Taoist priest came to the village, and he saw that Li Yi's eyebrows were exuding an extraordinary aura, so he stepped forward to talk. The Taoist priest told Li Yi that he had a way for him to meet his father, but it would cost him something. Li Yi was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked what the method was. The Taoist priest smiled and said, "You need to go to the place where your father once traveled and look for a token related to your father." When you find the token, you will be able to meet your father. ”
After Li Yi heard this, he was both excited and apprehensive. He knew it was a rare opportunity, but he also knew the difficulties and dangers he was about to face. However, in order to meet his father, he resolutely decided to embark on a journey.
During the journey, Li Yi went through many hardships and finally found the place where his father had traveled. In an ancient temple, he found a jade pendant left by his father. When he picked up the jade pendant, a strong feeling of longing welled up in his heart. He closed his eyes, as if he could feel his father's breath.
At this moment, a ray of light shot out from the jade pendant, enveloping Li Yi in it. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a strange world. He looked around and suddenly heard a familiar laugh. He walked along to the laughter and saw a middle-aged man sitting at a stone table drinking tea. That person was none other than his father, Li Zhong!
The father and son reunited after a long absence, hugged each other and cried. Li Zhong watched his son grow up, and his heart was both relieved and emotional. He told Li Yi that he had been running around in search of a miracle medicine that would save the village. He told Li Yi that the village's water source was about to run out of water, and that only by finding a miracle medicine could the villagers be saved.
After Li Yi heard this, a strong sense of responsibility surged in his heart. He decides to help his father find a miracle medicine and save the villagers. The father and son walked hand in hand, went through hardships and dangers, and finally found the miracle cure. They brought the elixir back to the village and succeeded in saving the villagers.
However, although the power of the elixir is strong, it cannot be maintained for long. Li Zhong told Li Yi that he had to leave the village and continue to look for a permanent solution to the water problem. Although Li Yi was reluctant, he knew that this was his father's responsibility and mission. He bid farewell to his father with tears in his eyes, silently praying in his heart that he would return safely.
Li Yi returned home and told Liu and the villagers his father's story. They were all touched by Li Zhong's bravery and selflessness. They understand the meaning of "home can be returned often, not for long" - home is people's eternal harbor, but everyone has their own mission and responsibility, and cannot stay for long.
As the years passed, Li Yi inherited his father's mantle and became a travelling businessman. He always kept his father's teachings in mind and used his wisdom and courage to help those in need. He understands that no matter where he goes, home is his eternal home. And he also passed on this attachment and sense of responsibility to the next generation.
This story has been circulated in Cuiyun Mountain for a long time and has become a good story in the mouths of the villagers. Whenever someone brings up the story, they sigh. They understand that home is a warm harbor, but everyone needs to have their own pursuits and missions. And "home can be returned often, not for a long time" is a kind of wisdom and attitude of life - cherish the warmth and affection of home, but also bravely pursue their dreams and missions.
