Origin Story

很久以前，在一个偏僻的小山村里，住着一位名叫阿牛的年轻人。阿牛为人善良淳朴，但天生有些愚钝，常常对一些事情感到莫名其妙。一天，阿牛在田间劳作时，发现地里出现了一个奇怪的现象：一大片庄稼竟然一夜之间枯萎了。阿牛从未见过这样的事情，他仔细察看，却找不到任何原因，百思不得其解。他跑去问村里的老人们，老人们也从未见过这种情况，纷纷摇头表示不知所以。阿牛急得团团转，他担心这片庄稼无法收成，家里将会面临困境。这时，一位路过的老学者看到阿牛焦急的样子，便上前询问。阿牛将事情的来龙去脉详细地告诉了老学者。老学者听后，仔细观察了枯萎的庄稼，又询问了周围的环境情况，最后才恍然大悟。原来，这是一场罕见的自然灾害导致的，与人为因素无关。老学者向阿牛解释了其中的道理，并给他提供了一些应对的建议。阿牛听后茅塞顿开，心里总算踏实了许多。从此以后，阿牛更加认真地学习，努力提高自己的知识水平，不再轻易被一些事情弄得不知所以。

Long ago, in a remote mountain village, lived a young man named Aniu. Aniu was kind and simple, but he was naturally a bit dull, and often found some things inexplicable. One day, while working in the fields, Aniu discovered a strange phenomenon: a large field of crops had withered overnight. Aniu had never seen anything like this before. He examined it carefully, but couldn't find any reason, and was baffled. He ran to ask the elders in the village, but the elders had never seen this situation either, and shook their heads, saying they didn't know why. Aniu was anxious, worried that the crops would not be harvested, and his family would face hardship. At this moment, an elderly scholar who passed by saw Aniu's anxious look and asked about it. Aniu explained the ins and outs of the matter to the elderly scholar in detail. After listening, the elderly scholar carefully observed the withered crops, and asked about the surrounding environment, and finally understood. It turned out to be caused by a rare natural disaster, unrelated to human factors. The elderly scholar explained the reason to Aniu, and gave him some suggestions to deal with it. Aniu was enlightened after listening, and finally felt much more at ease. From then on, Aniu studied more diligently, trying to improve his knowledge level, and no longer easily bewildered by things.
