Chapter 329: The Story (Third Update)_1
"The Foolish Old Man Moves Mountains," Zhou Ying was the first to speak.
Sini immediately shouted back, unwilling to be outdone, "We just heard the story about how Dayu controlled the floods, and Brother Gu said he’ll tell us about ’The Three Moves of Meng’s Mother’ later."
"So many stories? Then who will tell me, what moral does each of these stories teach you?" Yang Ruxin simply sat down on the stool beside her, secretly pleased. These stories were some of the most classic Chinese mythological tales. It seemed that this world had overlaps with her past life; she just didn’t know when the divergence occurred. She glanced at Gu Qingheng, thinking that she might have him tell her the history of this world at some point.
Zhou Ying and Xiaosi looked at each other, unable to fully understand, finding the stories merely entertaining. So, they remained silent, but Zhou Xiao was the first to stand up: "I like the story of Dayu taming the floods. It tells us that if you do something, you must concentrate, just like Dayu, who didn’t even enter his own home when he passed by... He was an incredible man." Just like his father.
"When it comes to persistence, I think Dayu pales in comparison to the Foolish Old Man," Sanni glanced at Zhou Xiao, "Just how big are Mount Wangwu and Taihang? They weren’t afraid..."
"But the so-called persistence of the Foolish Old Man was for his own convenience in traveling, while Dayu did it for everyone else," Zhou Xiao retorted with dissatisfaction, looking at Sanni, "It’s not right to compare the two men."
"Why can’t we?" Sanni stood up with her hands on her hips, glaring at Zhou Xiao, "Both stories are about persistence, aren’t they? The Foolish Old Man is even more persistent than Dayu; why can’t they be mentioned together?"
