There are many peaks and ridges, and the clouds are steaming.Looking from a distance, Yunmeng Mountain is shrouded in a layer of faint mist, like a fairyland.

It happened to be New Year's Eve when Meng Que arrived at the foot of Yunmeng Mountain.There is a small village at the foot of Yunmeng Mountain. Every household is hung with red lanterns, immersed in the joy of the New Year.It was already a bit cold in the mountains, Meng Que had already put on the thickest padded jacket and fox fur. He was thin and weak, but now he looked round and round.

Meng Que stood at the gate of the village, his fair face was already pale from the cold, and he just stood there in a daze, out of tune with the happy atmosphere in the village.

Meng Que thought of many years ago, when he was a child, on New Year's Eve, his mother put him in nice new clothes, his father let him ride on his shoulders, and the family of three walked on the bustling street, Looking at all kinds of gadgets, when it was a little later, all the small merchants went home for the New Year’s Eve dinner, and the street quickly became quiet. The family of three returned home, and the mother served the snacks made by the servants. Come out, one bowl per person.Every time he ate some, his mother would always add some. In the end, his belly was round, but there was still a full bowl in his hand.He tossed the full bowl to his father, and walked away quietly, with unspeakable joy in his heart.

Meng Que thought of another year's New Year's Eve. He and He Lan were sitting in the yard together. He Lan brought a jar of wine. It is said that it was the wine that His Royal Highness had kept for decades. They each had a glass and drank each other. , When I got to the back, I don't know who got drunk first.The two fell asleep in the yard. The next day, they were seen by the servants and made a big joke.But it's all about how they love each other.

Those memories are quite old.

The laughter in the ear is really real.There were children chasing and running past him, and the little girl in the red padded jacket who ran last stood in front of him, staring at him curiously.

"Who are you?" she asked him.

It was too cold, Meng Que felt a gust of cold wind pouring into his mouth as soon as he opened his mouth.

"My name is Meng Que, what about you?"

"My name is Xiao Hua, where are you from?"

He pointed to the long path behind him: "I came from there."

"where is that?"

"a place far away."

"Isn't it a big place with lots of people and lots of delicious food?" The little girl's eyes lit up.

Meng Que nodded.

"Brother, you can go to my house." A sly light flashed in the little girl's eyes, and she held Meng Que's hand and said.

He originally thought that he didn't need anything, neither love nor hatred, he just needed to find that person and fulfill an obsession in his heart.But now, it's really too cold, he longs for the light that shines through the crack of the door, longs for a little warmth in it.

Meng Que followed the little girl back to her home.

The little girl has a father, a mother, and a brother who is much older than her. This is a complete and happy family.Yunmeng Mountain is isolated from the world and protected by the Mohists. It has always been like a paradise, and the people are very simple.They welcomed Meng Que's arrival very much, and added bowls and chopsticks for him, as well as a bowl full of snacks.

"Our Xiaohua is different from other children. She is very curious about the world outside the mountain. Every time outsiders come, she will go up and ask many things." The child's parents chattered, somewhat carrying the A little helpless.

She is a girl, she will be a woman when she grows up, she should not have too many thoughts, she should stay in this mountain, when she grows up, find an honest farmer to marry, and live a peaceful life.

Xiaohua didn't like to hear this, she pouted and ran away.

"What are you doing here?" They began to ask Meng Que.

"I want to enter Yunmeng Mountain." Meng Que said.

"Yunmeng Mountain, no one has come to this place for many years, and the mountain roads are very dangerous. People in the village, no one dares to go up this mountain. I advise you, don't go." Xiaohua's father said.

"Four years ago, did you ever see a woman go up the mountain?" Meng Que asked.

"It's been so many years, I can't remember clearly. Who is that woman?"

"It's my mother." Meng Que said.

Hearing this, the couple stopped consoling them.Many things in this world are no match for the closest affection.

As the night got dark, they arranged a room for Meng Que.Meng Que thanked him gratefully, and fell asleep here.Before he fell asleep, there was a knock on the window. When he opened the window, he saw Xiao Hua's dark eyes.

She climbed in through the window and sat beside Meng Que's bed.That night, Meng Que didn't sleep, and told her what he had seen and heard along the way all night.The next day was slightly bright, and she climbed out of the window again.The night passed as if nothing had happened.

Early the next morning, Meng Que bid farewell to his family who kindly took him in, and set foot on the road into the mountain in the bitter cold.

The mountain road was much more rugged than he had imagined.He was originally a frail scholar, and he was already exhausted from walking all the way. This mountain road was like a moat to him.But he thought that with every step he took, he might be one step closer to his mother, so he never stopped.

He kept climbing, and when he was tired from climbing, he found a stone and sat down, eating some dry food and water.In that dangerous place, he slipped several times and almost died.

It was getting dark soon, and Meng Que found a shallow cave to keep out the wind.This night almost froze to death. On the second day, Meng Que found that his whole body was limp and unable to move at all. His body began to be hot and cold, and his mind gradually became blurred.

He felt that he was about to die, and he was about to lose what his mother had bought almost with her life.He lay there, eyes wide open, tears streaming down his cheeks.Life and death, he still can't escape this ending after all.

"Queer."

"Queer."

Vaguely, he heard a voice constantly ringing in his ears.He wanted to open his eyes, but the eyelids were as heavy as a thousand catties, and he couldn't lift them no matter what.

Before his consciousness completely dissipated, he seemed to touch something warm...
