Vol 4 Chapter 1: Fool Yang is a dead man

Yang Yi likes to sit in a daze under the plum tree. When he is hungry in a daze, he picks a few plums to eat. He thinks that's good.
At least Plum and Plum Tree would not laugh at him for being a fool.
In fact, Yang Yi likes everything that can't speak, such as the mountains, rocks, trees and grass here, because they don't laugh at him.
There are few farmers nearby, and the nearest old Sun’s house is behind the hill on the left, but no matter how far or near, people in this mountain like to come to Yang Yi when they are idle, because they can amuse him and laugh at him as a fool.
The mountain people have nothing else to do.
Yang Yi knew that he was stupid, and that he could not grow well after so many years. The ditch he raked out was all crooked, not as straight as others. And he can't hunt, not even a rabbit, let alone the deer and roe deer in the mountains.
It's not that he is soft-hearted, or he can't, and he can't learn, even fools.
Yang Yi's stupidity is also that he doesn't remember what his father and mother's name is, or even tell the specific appearance of his father and mother. Yang Yi only remembered that there were two soil packs in Shanyang over there, that was his father and mother's tomb, but he did not remember whether he had met his father and mother.
The joke, of course, I have seen it before. Who has never seen his parents? How could there be Yang Yi before.
He also forgot who told him that the two soil bags were his father and mother's tomb. Maybe he thought there should be a tomb. Maybe there was nothing below. Because Yang Yi really doesn't remember what his parents are like.
Only fools can't remember these.
Yang Yi is also not sure how old he is this year. He only knows that it has been ten years since he consciously painted horizontal and vertical roads on the rocks on the mountain wall to remember the days. How old he was ten years ago, Yang Yi didn't know.
Recalling what he looked like ten years ago, when people asked him again, Yang Yi would say that he was 29 years old because he felt 30 was too old.
Yang Yi feels that he has a father and a mother. Another reason is that he knows how to write. Although the crooked writing is very ugly, he knows them all. This should be taught by my parents, otherwise how could I be literate? Is it still natural?
Yang Yi felt that he had been stupid since ten years ago, and his father and mother should have died at that time. He was frightened stupid. Otherwise, how could he not remember the things before that.
A thatched cottage, a mountain spring, two ridges and slopes, Yang Yi has been here for ten years without knowing it.
He walked out of the mountains for the first time ten years ago.
There were a lot of people outside the mountain and it was chaotic. Hearing people said that they were still fighting, Yang Yi also saw people with knives and guns everywhere. He was very scared, so he ran back into the mountain. A house, a spring and two ridges of land, he still feels that this place is practical.
Later, he basically went out twice a year, always changing something for food and clothing, but it was also the same day when he went there. He didn't like being outside.
I heard that there have been no wars in the past two years, and there are more and more people outside the mountain. They said that there are more people in the big city in the distance, but Yang Yi has not been there yet, and he is afraid that he will not be back that day.
There is no war outside the mountain, and many people in the mountain have moved out. Yang Yi has never thought about moving. He thinks the mountain is good, and he doesn't know where to move. Only a fool would think that inside the mountain is better than outside, so Yang Yi is indeed a fool.
Yang Yi, a fool who was sitting under the plum tree and eating plums, saw the person walking down the opposite mountainside, and at first he thought it was the five roots of the old Sun's house over there. Wugen likes to joke about Yang Yi the most, although he doesn't even know a word.
When he got closer, Yang Yi could see that he was a Taoist priest.
Yang Yi has seen many Taoist priests, many outside the mountain, and Taoist priests often walk by in the mountains.
The Taoist priest also saw Yang Yi. He was going to walk down the mountain road, but after seeing Yang Yi, he stopped and stood there for a while.
Then the Taoist priest walked over.
Yang Yi knew that the Taoist priests were very fierce and couldn't provoke him, so he quickly got up from the ground, patted the dirt on his body, and made a gesture towards the Taoist priest.
"I have seen Daoist."
The Taoist priest did not speak, and stood motionless at Li Zishu's side and stared at Yang Yi, making him feel hairy.
I watched it for a long time.
"who are you?"
"My name is Yang Yi."
"where are you from?"
"Man in the mountains, this is my home."
"How old are you?"
"Twenty is nine."
"You alone here?"
"Just me."
"who are you?"
"My name is Yang Yi."
The Taoist stroked his beard and walked towards Yang Yi's thatched cottage. "Can you ask for a sip of water."
"Daoist, please come in."
The thatched cottage was small, but it was cleaned up by Yang Yi. There was one bed and one cabinet. There was a pot stove under the eaves of the house. All the stools, chairs and bedding were arranged neatly, without any sense of sloppyness. On the contrary, it looked like a monk who cleaned it up. So.
The Taoist priest sat in a simple but clean bamboo chair and took the pottery bowl that Yang Yi handed over. The mountain spring water was also clear.
Taoist priest drank it.
"You are a dead man."
"I am alive."
"You are not Yang Yi either."
"My name is Yang Yi."
"You are not here."
"This is my home."
"Yang Yi...I have the right to call you Yang Yi. You are a dead person, you shouldn't be here, go back to your place."
"Where am I from? How can I go back?"
"You are from your place."
"Am I a ghost?"
"You are not a ghost, you are a dead person, and you are also a living person. You were a living person where you used to be, and you became a dead person when you ran here."
"How can I go back?"
"You are not Yang Yi, you can only go back if you know who you are."
"Who am I? Am I lost?"
"Yes, you lost it. You can only go back if you find yourself first."
"How should I find?"
"Yang Yi, come with me, look outside the mountain, go to the big city. The more people there are, the more you will find, and the easier it will be to find." The Taoist priest said, "Go out. You will never find yourself in the mountains."
"Dao Master, do you think I am a fool? Others call me a fool."
"I do not know."
"I don't like the outside world, will I die if I go out?"
"You are already dead, are you still afraid of death?"
"afraid!"
The Taoist priest stared at Yang Yi for a long time, drinking two bowls of water for so long.
The Taoist priest said: "You can't die. If you die before you find out who you are, you will die where you were."
"Is it a ghost?"
"No ghost~EbookFREE.me~ You die here, everything is gone."
"I don't want to go out, I'm afraid of death, I won't die in the mountains."
"How did you know?"
"My guess."
"Hahaha~~" The Taoist frowned and smiled.
"Come out with me, you have a fate with me, and you can count on it. You won't die before I die. Are you still afraid?"
"You are cultivating people who want to live forever, you should be able to live for a long time, then I am not afraid."
"Hahaha~~"
"You haven't consulted the Taoist Chief Honorary?"
The Taoist stood up.
"Poor Dao, Yuan Tiangang."
