"Going there is no problem, but we have to find a good time."
Cui Wanshan's words revealed the experience of an old hunter from the mountains.
"When we go into the mountains, especially after passing through Yangziling and Mengbaling, which are two consecutive peaks, we can finally enter Xiongxiaziling. It's not too difficult to get there; we just follow the information."
but……
It was quite troublesome to come back.
The noses, or sense of smell, of any animal in these mountains and forests are dozens or even hundreds of times stronger than those of humans.
If we hunt a bear, we certainly can't expect to get the whole bear's body back.
But if we only take bear oil, that would be a bit too wasteful.
So it's quite troublesome.
"I understand everything you've said. But as I just mentioned, this is just my personality. The more difficult something is, the less afraid I am. The more impossible a task seems, the more determined I am to accomplish it."
"Old Cui, you said it's hard to get the bear's stuff back, right? That just increases the challenge for me. If it were too easy, I might not be excited at all."
"Haha, Lao Wang, you own thousands of acres of fertile land, how come you still talk like this, without changing at all."
Wang Tianxiao laughed and said, "What changes could I possibly have in front of you? Would you laugh at me? We're friends who've been through thick and thin together, not just strangers we've met on the street. What am I afraid of?"
"Haha, just for saying that, I should take a big gulp."
"Drinking is fine, but when the time comes, tell me if you'd be willing to come along and conquer the Black Brothers of Bear Ridge?"
Cui Wanshan smiled, picked up the bottle of rice wine, and took a big, satisfying gulp. "Why wouldn't I want to? Just tell me about it, and it's basically a done deal. Between us, we won't talk about anything else."
Wang Tianxiao also laughed heartily.
Just as I expected.
That's what good friends are like.
It's been a long time since we last met, but seeing each other again is still very heartwarming.
They live their own lives normally, but when needed, they are willing to go through fire and water for each other.
After his rebirth, some things changed, and some things had a butterfly effect because of his existence.
There are also people like Cui Wanshan who never change.
He looks exactly like this in my memory, and he still looks the same now.
"Old Cui, you can stay here with me from now on. Look at this empire of mine, it's all mine. You can do whatever you want, or if you don't want to do anything, we can just drink tea and do whatever we want. It's not bad."
"It's not bad."
Cui Wanshan was also very emotional, "To be honest, a year ago, I would never have dared to imagine that you could achieve such results, but now these are real in front of me, and I can't believe it or do anything about it."
"Old Wang, I feel like you've suddenly become a different person. It's only because we're close and I know you well that many people at the station say you're not the same Wang Tianxiao they used to know."
"I was never the Wang Tianxiao I used to be."
"Um?"
"Haha, people change, right? We're definitely not the same people we were yesterday. If people remained unchanged, that would be the biggest problem. The world is constantly moving forward, right? Like a high-speed train. If we can't keep up with the train's speed, we'll inevitably be left off."
Wang Tianxiao sighed leisurely and continued, "Many times, we think that as long as we work hard and are honest and down-to-earth, we can live a good life. But that's not always the case."
Over the years, I've suddenly come to understand a principle: society as a whole is a huge cake, right? And the resources around us are just a small cake.
Everyone who sees this cake wants to eat it. So who gets to eat the cake in the end? Of course, it's those who run fast, are strong, and are willing to work hard.
But you might ask, is it possible for us to eat cake without having to work so hard? It's not impossible, but we'd have to wait for others to finish their cakes and then lick the crumbs off the floor.
Or, another possibility is that we wait for others to make the cake bigger, so that they can't finish it all, and then they eat the best parts on top and sit on the side watching us eat, thus adding a bit of fun, either for entertainment or to make us feel important, before we can join in and barely get a full meal.
No matter what, I cannot accept it.
You know my personality. I believe that people, living in this world, must find some meaning. If I want to eat cake to fill my stomach, then I must create it myself, make my own cake. Whether it's given to me by others or crumbs left on the ground after someone else has eaten it, it's not what I want.
It was precisely because of this feeling that I suddenly realized I wanted to do something of my own. As the saying goes, hard work pays off. With a bit of luck, plus my courage and patience, I've finally achieved some initial success and started to establish myself here. Of course, this is just the beginning; I want to do more and have even grander goals.
In my lifetime, I hope that the new life I've finally managed to obtain can have some meaning, and that within my capabilities, I can find a path for everyone to make their own cake.
"I want everyone I care about, everyone around me, and everyone I can influence to have the means to make cakes. No one needs to lick the scraps left over from others, no one needs to wait for someone to make cakes for us. Instead, if we want cake, we can make it ourselves, and if we make it ourselves, we can eat our fill..."
Unbeknownst to Wang Tianxiao, he had said a lot to Cui Wanshan.
