There was a young man who was exceptionally clever, with an almost obsessive belief in making money. He lived at the foot of the Taihang Mountains, not far from the most famous local wealth god temple. Every day before leaving the house, he would kneel three times and mutter, "Grandpa Wealth God, please give me some guidance. Should I buy coins or find a job?"



One day, to seek good luck, the young man specifically wore his new red socks and went early to the wealth god temple to draw a fortune. The old fortune-teller, stroking his beard, said, "Young man, this year you are like a horse stepping into the spring breeze. The big trend is in the east. You need to go to open areas, then your money pouch will fill up!"

Hearing this, the young man immediately felt an opportunity. He thought to himself, open areas in the east? That’s the big flat land at the village entrance! Coincidentally, someone was setting up a live stream there, which must be the "big trend"!

So, with his limited savings, he spent a huge sum to rent the brightest lighting equipment, and studied three days of "hypnotic sales talk" online. He rushed excitedly to the flat land at the village entrance. He believed he was stepping on auspicious clouds, watching all directions, and surely would go viral!

But what happened? On the first day of the live stream, the lights were so bright that they blinded an old yellow cow grazing nearby in the field. The cow thought it was a new super wild grass and suddenly charged over, knocking over the young man’s live broadcast stand into pieces.

The young man, holding the broken stand with a dazed look, watched the cow. Just then, the old fortune-teller happened to pass by and sighed, "Silly boy, I told you to go to open areas to broaden your horizons and gain experience, not to become a living target! Making money should be done legally and safely. How can you be so reckless?"

The young man patted his head and suddenly understood. It turns out that the so-called "horse stepping into the spring breeze" isn’t about becoming an internet celebrity at the village entrance, but about running your path like a swift horse—broad and free, with a heart that respects rules. You need to study the big trends but also take care of the road under your feet.
