'Cat Urine' and 'Hua Gou' were both very happy, at least in Ma Lin's eyes, things seemed that way.
The three of them first harvested some vines to weave baskets and mats, then began collecting a kind of round fruit.
Then they headed to the water's edge.
Below, there were quite a few dry reeds, most of them relatively thin.
Among the reeds were bird nests, but they had been abandoned.
Ma Lin thought of many past events.
His worldview had changed significantly compared to before.
He valued material life much less and cared more about his inner feelings.
He spent countless efforts to soothe his heart, which tormented him daily, urging him to quickly fulfill his responsibilities, otherwise, it would not allow him to be happy.
Even if he won the grand prize in a lottery, he would be completely unable to be happy, and might instead endure more torment.
So he never bought lottery tickets.
As a person with overwhelming compassion, he was tortured enough by his own conscience.
