"Sir, why don't you catch the fish and eat it? The fish soup is so delicious?"
That year, the sun was setting just right. The young Kun Wu, whose face was covered with dirt, looked at the gray-haired Ji Yi curiously and asked.
"Sir, sir, the fish bit the hook again."
While Kunwu was recalling his childhood memories, a burst of rapid shouting came from his ears.
When Kunwu came back to his senses and took a look, he saw a silver fishing line gently pulling on the water.
"Sir, do you think this fish knows that it will not die, so it bites your hook every time?"
Watching Kunwu put the caught black carp into the lake again, the fisherman also became interested and asked with a surprised look on his face.
This was the first time he saw such a strange scene.
"Do you think this fish is happy?"
Looking at the fisherman, Kunwu suddenly thought of the scene when he was walking on the bridge with Zhuang Yun, a generation of Confucian sage, and asked.
"Maybe it's very happy, or else this fish is just a little too stupid."
The fisherman replied without thinking.
"Why?"
Seeing the fisherman's answer so simply, Kunwu became a little curious.
"I know what your husband is thinking, but I'm just a fisherman, so I don't care what the fish thinks.
I say it is happy, it is happy, at least I am happy today."
The fisherman said with an indifferent expression.
"That doesn't make sense?"
Hearing this, Kunwu asked thoughtfully.
"If there is any truth, it is that I want to be happy, so it is happy too.
Anyway, this is not murder and arson, it’s just that it bites the hook happily, I think that’s all it takes to be happy.”
The fisherman said, looking at Kun Wudao.
"Sir, I have seen you fishing by the lake. Don't you feel happy every time you catch and release it?
If you are not happy, why would you go fishing again? To do something, you must first ask yourself whether you are willing or not.
If you don’t want to do it, then why do you do it, and what’s the point?”
Having said this, the fisherman himself was also happy.
"After chatting with my husband for a long time, I never thought that I would say such a thing. As expected, I still need to lean closer to the scholar.
Only in this way can we increase our knowledge."
Listening to the fisherman's words that kept coming to his ears, Kunwu was shocked when he heard the words.
Yes, if you are not happy with what you do, then why do you do it?
But why would I choose to sit here and fish.
Because of Zhuang Yun?
No, it's not!
The appearance of Zhuang Yun only made me understand life clearly, but this is not the reason why I came here.
The reason why I came here.
I came because in my heart, the carefree days of my childhood, running all over the mountains and fields, and watching my husband fishing again and again, were the happiest times.
At that time, I didn't have to fight for fame and fortune.
There is no need to force yourself to do various things again and again when chasing fame and fortune.
Happy!
Bang!
At this moment, the calm lake surface exploded, and a black carp splashed out of the water.
The fins of the fish flapped on the sparkling water, and the tail of the fish hit the air, as if it was spreading its wings and flying high.
"Hahaha, even a carp wants to spread its wings and fly high."
"Sir, look at it, I just said this fish is very happy."
"I think it was because no one was catching it, so after being so reckless, it chose to jump up happily and rush high into the sky."
Bang!
As he finished speaking, Kunwu saw the black carp begin to swim quickly as it fell to the bottom of the lake.
Bang!
Then, as the water surface broke open again, it rushed into the air.
"I have been fishing here for hundreds of years, but I have never looked at the water once."
Looking at the scene in front of him, Kunwu said in shock.
"Look at the fish swimming freely in the lake. This is the happiness of the fish."
"Sir, if you are not a fish, how do you know that the fish is happy?"
Watching the black carp swim downwards the moment it fell into the water, Kunwu couldn't help but recall the scene of his last discussion with Zhuang Yun in his mind.
"You are not me, how do you know my happiness."
Seeing the black carp breaking through the water again, and looking into those deep eyes, Kunwu murmured subconsciously.
Boom!
As soon as these words came out, Kunwu felt his mind suddenly shaken.
"There is a fish in the North Ming Dynasty, and its name is Kun. Kun is so big that I don't know how many thousands of miles it is. If it turns into a bird, its name is Peng."
"Wander carefree, travel carefree, be happy and move according to your heart, just like the change of yin and yang, falling into the water becomes a fish and becomes yin, jumping into the air becomes a peng and a yang.
Yin and Yang flow, at that moment when the water surface meets.
The so-called happiness is my initial carefreeness.
This happiness is not born for anyone, and does not exist due to changes in heaven and earth. It only appears because I want it."
Seeing the black carp jumping out of the lake again and again in front of me, Kunwu once again thought about the happy trip left by Zhuang Yun in his mind.
It was just different from before. When he thought about the confusion of this happy journey, this time it started again, and everything he had experienced in the past ten thousand years began to appear in his mind one by one.
present, past.
Ten thousand years, a thousand years, a hundred years.
In those memories, Kunwu stared blankly at the lake in front of him.
When a dim yellow light appeared above the lake, Kunwu seemed to sense something and raised his head at this moment.
Just like the horizon, the hot sunshine has disappeared without knowing when, and there is only a dim yellow light, like a dividing line in the sky, connecting day and night.
Time passed, and dusk turned into night, with bright stars all over the sky emerging in the sky.
There are countless stars, but at this moment, in Kunwu's eyes, the stars all over the sky outline a kind of creature that can swallow up thousands of miles.
"Kun, this is Kun."
As he finished speaking, Kunwu stared at him intently.
Even when the stars faded and the sun rose, I kept watching quietly.
He looked at it day and night, until one day, when the night fell again, when the light of the stars in the sky dissipated again, that Kun still existed in his eyes.
Not seen in the sky, just missing, not absent.
When you look at it with both eyes, the Kun in his eyes is like swimming in the dark sea.
Until the next day appeared again, the Kun in Kunwu's eyes, when the morning light appeared like the sea and sky, jumped up from under the black water surface, turned into a sky full of light and soared into the sky.
"Wander freely, follow your heart, and the world of Yin and Yang moves with just a thought."
As he said these words, a smile appeared on the corner of Kunwu's mouth, and then he suddenly fell into the lake.
"hold head high!"
The next moment, the water surface exploded, and the black carp rose into the sky, its fins turned into wings, and roared toward the sky.
"I finally became enlightened."
On one side of the lake, the fisherman took off the bamboo hat on his head and said with a smile.
