Standing on the top of a mountain, looking down, I felt that everything around me became smaller.
“Ahhh…”
I couldn't help but shout out loud, and everyone started laughing.
"ah……"
The villagers seemed to have found some fun as the echoes reverberated through the mountains.
"When we get to the top of the mountain, are there any signs around?"
"Are there any jadeite stones around?"
"Is it possible? Can I see the jadeite in its raw form?"
The villagers couldn't help but look at Chen Yun with anticipation. Could they really find a jade mine? What does a jade mine look like?
They had seen raw stones, but they had never seen a raw stone mine. The villagers didn't understand this. They only knew that with the raw stone mine, everything could change. Their village, their fate, everything...
"No... Sorry, I didn't find any. I can't explain why the raw stones in Mengshan Creek were formed or why they came to your village."
Shen Yun looked at the village chief embarrassedly. She had already checked the system, and there was no trace of jade mines in this area. Therefore, she could not explain why these raw stones came here.
"It's okay, it's okay, we were just a little too greedy."
Those who can look beyond the situation naturally don't care too much about the outcome. They've considered this before coming here and are aware of the outcome. Therefore, they can accept it calmly.
"If there's no, then there's no. We didn't expect too much anyway. It's just a false alarm, it doesn't matter."
"Yeah, it doesn't matter. We won't be too bad off with or without it."
The villagers didn't care about it, as satisfaction was written all over their faces.
“Yes! Miss Shen, this has nothing to do with you, you don’t have to blame yourself.”
Seeing the remorse on Chen Yun's face, the villagers all said that this had nothing to do with her. This thing, let nature take its course. If God allows them to have it, they will have it. If God does not allow them to have it, they will not have it. There are still many raw stones in Mengshan Creek, which is already an unexpected surprise.
"But……"
Shen Yun couldn't help but write about her embarrassment. She hadn't found the jade mine, and she really didn't want to return empty-handed. She had made good promises to the villagers earlier, giving them hope, only to bring them disappointment. She felt bad, and still felt a little guilty.
"No buts, let's go back!"
"This has nothing to do with you, Miss Shen. You don't need to take it to heart."
The village chief waved his hand and gestured to the villagers. It was time to go back. If there was nothing left, there was nothing left. They could think of other ways. Getting rich wasn't just about focusing on jade mines. He felt like a burden had been lifted off his shoulders, and both his mind and body felt much lighter.
"Really going back?"
Are you really going back?
"Of course, otherwise how could it be fake?"
With a smile of relief, everyone saw the relief on their faces. After giving up hope in the emerald mine, everyone's worries were instantly put to rest, and they felt more relaxed than ever before.
"Let's go... let's go back."
Night was about to fall, and the way down the mountain was much more difficult than the way up. More importantly, the dangers all around were intensifying, and no one could ignore the watchful eyes.
It would become increasingly dangerous at night, so they all needed to return before it got dark. The village was the safest place, and everyone knew that.
"Be careful, and everyone take care of each other."
"We're going to go back the same way we came."
The village chief shouted from the loudspeaker, and the people behind carefully supported their companions. They took one step at a time, extremely cautiously.
"Be careful, there's a steep slope ahead."
"Yeah! Be careful, it's quite steep ahead."
The terrain became increasingly difficult to walk on, and everyone had to hold hands.
"Actually, I want to take a look around. I don't want everyone to leave empty-handed with us."
"It won't change much if we go around again, so it's okay. Everyone's actually in a pretty good mood."
Wen Maidong held Chen Yun's hand tightly, leaning over to her and counseling her. Whether the jade mine would be found or not, Wen Maidong had the lowest expectations. He understood the difficulty involved, and he knew even more clearly that some things weren't as simple as you might think.
"Yeah, everyone's in a good mood. If it were someone else, they definitely wouldn't behave like this."
If they were in another place, perhaps those people would not behave in the same way. They would not give up until they achieved their goal, or they might even do something crazier and more daring.
"So, you should learn from them. Life is full of regrets, and it is these regrets that make up wonderful things. Imagine if everyone had no regrets, wouldn't everything become more and more perfect? But isn't true perfection as fragile as bubbles?"
Even if you want to stick them together, it's impossible to achieve, and it's impossible to complete. A life with regrets is the most real life, and you should understand this truth.
"Really?" Chen Yun looked at Wen Maidong, not quite understanding. Is this really the case?
"Yes!" Wen Maidong was extremely certain, as he himself had many regrets.
Deep in thought, Chen Yun couldn't help but wonder what regrets she had. Returning to her life again, she had so much happiness, and regrets too, but they only occupied a tiny fraction, something she could completely ignore. And, with so few regrets, reality felt so minimal. Her life felt like a journey through fantasy, with no way to touch the bottom or touch the ground.
"What regrets do you have?" Looking up curiously, Chen Yun couldn't help but want to see Wen Maidong's answer.
Chen Yun wondered if Wen Maidong's regret was about his parents or something else. What would he say? Curious, Chen Yun began to speculate in his heart.
"There are so many! For example: Why couldn't I have met you earlier and stayed by your side..."
His regrets are all around Chen Yun. It is because of her that he has regrets, many more regrets.
“These are not regrets.”
Chen Yun accused Wen Maidong of cheating, but that wasn't a regret. A true regret was something you felt remorseful for, something you remembered for the rest of your life, something you couldn't even forget.
"How can it not be a regret? I think it is a regret."
Wen Maidong smiled and gave Chen Yun a ding-dong, signaling her not to bluff. These were his regrets, the things he regretted most deeply. He had always heard people talk about Chen Yun's childhood, and he regretted not being able to see her. Back then, there were no cameras, so he couldn't record it.
"Yeah?"
"Yes."
Wen Maidong looked at Chen Yun seriously. To him, these were regrets.
"Come on, let's go down too."
