Some things can only be appreciated once experienced, but some things are good once experienced...

My family lives in a remote mountain village . Although our village is not very rich , but the villagers are very kind , the villagers are very friendly to people , we like to help others in daily life . There are a lot of old people in our village . Every day after dinner , we like to get together and have a chat . Most of the people in our village are religious , and they are always very sensitive about ghosts and gods . Whenever the old people in the village had time , they would get together and chat about a wide range of topics . Like the past , whose things are missing again , whose family is getting married . Of course , can not leave a topic , that is those weird , weird things . One day after I had eaten , I thought I was bored at home , . So I decided to go out for a walk . Out of the house , I saw a group of old people chatting under a tree . They talked to listen to the input , so out of curiosity , I went over to hear what they were talking about . I got here at the right time . They just started talking . The old man in the middle said , In the fifties and sixties , there was a time of famine . One day , a man in our village was planting vegetables in the field . Everyone called him Lao Wang . Although Lao Wang's family was not very rich , he was very diligent and worked in the fields every day . Every day , Lao Wang went out early and returned home late . Lao Wang is also honest . He always seeks truth about facts and never lies to others . Another day , Lao Wang went to the fields very early with a hoe . Time passed quickly , and soon it was evening . Every day Lao Wang went to plow the fields , and there were two other people that went out at the same time as Lao Wang . Their field was next to the old king's . Every day the three of them are together to start , together to return late , three people usually like brothers . It was dark by the time work was over , and they still had two kilometers to walk back to the village . They feared they would be in danger if they returned too late . When the other two men were going to call Lao Wang back , they suddenly found that Lao Wang was no longer in the field . What was strange was that Lao Wang's hoe was still in the field , but Lao Wang could not find it . Because people in the village are sensitive to ghosts and gods . And there was a lot of talk about these things in the village , and the villagers knew something about them . Suddenly one of them suggested that Lao Wang might have been possessed by the wild ghosts . The other turned pale and took a step back . But in the end there was no way to find Lao Wang (both of them searched the neighborhood but could not find Lao Wang ) . Then they decided to go back to the village and ask those who knew . Then they found an old man in the village , an old man who had a lot of experience in this field , and who was always the one to be looked for when strange things happened in the village . Later , I heard that the old man said that they were some wild ghosts of the mountains . Usually they would call some passers-by by their names . If passers-by responded , they would be haunted by wild ghosts and could not come back . Listen to the two men are anxious , asked him exactly how to do , I saw the old man said to bring some firecrackers , to the mountains while shooting , while calling the man's name , it is possible to find him . They were doubtful , but they couldn't think of anything else to do . They just did what the old man told them to do . So the two men took some villagers and firecrackers up the mountain . To the mountain , a fire man , but also set off firecrackers , but also Shouting , estimated that the whole mountain estimates can hear these voices . Suddenly one of the villagers shouted , Look , Lao Wang is over there on the stone . The villager looked in the man's direction , but saw nothing but a big stone . At this point , one of the villagers got angry and said , " Is this time for a joke ? Still , the villager insisted that Lao Wang was on the rocks . Finally , there was nothing else to be done . A large group of villagers surrounded the rock , fir guns and Shouting , and suddenly Lao Wang appeared in the eyes of the villagers . (Later , it turned out that only the more Yin people could see . ) They kept staring in Lao Wang . He saw that Lao Wang was full of dirt , his head was stuffed with weeds , and he was naked to the waist , wearing only a small underpants . Later , in the villagers patted shout , Lao Wang finally woke up , but wake up Lao Wang what also do not know , remember before a person brought him here .. . Later , when he returned home , Lao Wang fell seriously ill . Later , he asked a mage in the village to prepare for him , and Lao Wang recovered slowly . And then it completely changed my attitudes towards these things . Later I became less negative about these things , and gradually I began to believe them . Because I think there are things out there what are real , and right now we just don't know them . When science gets better , maybe we'll be able to talk to them face to face . It's like a Buddhist saying : six cycles , endless . After all , humans and ghosts are interchangeable . So I think they're real . Some things can only be appreciated once experienced , but some things are good once experienced .
