The first rays of the morning sun penetrate the mist and gently sweep the edge of the town, and the river ripples delicately in the morning light, as if it is the most delicate brushstrokes of nature, outlining vivid scenes on this tranquil scroll. Li Xiaozhi, a young man full of curiosity and insight into life, is walking along this familiar river, stepping briskly, and starting his special "investigation" of the day.
Different from the usual morning jogging or walking, Li Xiaozhi today has a special mission in his heart - he wants to use his eyes and heart to "investigate" the beauty and profound meaning that are overlooked in daily life, especially the subtle and profound relationship between people and the environment.
"Morning, Uncle Li!" When passing by the cottage by the river, Li Xiaozhi greeted Uncle Li, who was cleaning the yard. Uncle Li is an old carpenter in the town, his craftsmanship is exquisite, and each piece contains love and respect for life.
"Oh, it's Ash, going out for a walk so early?" Uncle Li raised his head and responded with a smile, "It seems to be in a good mood today." ”
"Yes, Uncle Li, I suddenly want to have an in-depth 'investigation' of our town to see if there are any new discoveries." Li Xiaozhi said with a smile, his eyes flashing with expectation.
Hearing this, Uncle Li put down the broom in his hand and nodded thoughtfully: "Okay, Xiaozhi, there are a lot of stories hidden in this town, you have to feel it with your heart." ”
After saying goodbye to Uncle Li, Li Xiaozhi continued to move forward. He noticed that as the sun rose, the town slowly woke up. The women who do laundry by the river work and talk, and the sound of laughter and running water is intertwined to form a vivid symphony of life. The children chased and frolicked by the river, and their innocence made Li Xiaozhi's heart surge with a warm current.
At this moment, an old man walked slowly, with a fishing rod in his hand, and his eyes revealed a transcendent tranquility. This old man is a highly respected wise man in the town, and he is also the object that Li Xiaozhi has always admired.
"Morning, Grandpa Wang." Li Xiaozhi took the initiative to step forward to say hello.
"Oh, it's Ash, why are you 'investigating' so early?" Grandpa Wang smiled, as if he could see through Li Xiaozhi's mind at a glance.
"Yes, Grandpa Wang, I always feel that there are many things in life that are worthy of our in-depth exploration, such as the relationship between people and the harmonious coexistence of people and the environment." Li Xiaozhi said sincerely.
Grandpa Wang nodded, his eyes deep: "You're right, Ash." Life is like this small river, which seems to be calm and waveless, but in fact it is full of countless mysteries and possibilities. If you want to really 'examine' it, you have to listen, feel, and understand. ”
Then, Grandpa Wang told Li Xiaozhi a story about the changes in the town, from poverty and hardship in the past to harmony and prosperity today, every detail is full of warmth and mutual help between people. This story made Li Xiaozhi deeply realize that the real "investigation" is not only an external observation, but also the touch and sublimation of the inner world.
As the conversation deepened, Li Xiaozhi seemed to have opened a new door, and he saw more beauty and warmth that he had not noticed before. He began to realize that whether it is family affection and friendship between people, or the harmonious coexistence between people and the environment, it is an indispensable and important part of life. And these are exactly the real purpose of his "investigation".
When the sun hung high and the hustle and bustle of the town gradually receded, Li Xiaozhi stood by the river, his heart full of unprecedented satisfaction and tranquility. He knew that today's "investigation" not only allowed him to see the beauty and charm of the town, but also allowed him to find the true meaning and direction of life. In the days to come, he will continue to move forward with this insight, feel every moment of life with his heart, and "investigate" the extraordinary and beautiful hidden in the ordinary.
