(I was so sleepy and distracted when I was writing the last chapter that I typed some messy characters. I should be able to correct it on Monday. Please bear with me.)
The two talked for almost an entire hour. During the conversation, Yun Zhong found that although this girl was still shy, her talent could be revealed from her sentences, often in just a few words. He can speak clearly and clearly, considering that he is a foreigner and knows a lot about the folk customs in Qinshui Town.
There are many rivers and streams around Qinshui Town, so the complicated task of digging wells to get water is simply saved. However, some old people once warned the younger generations in the family that there was once a dragon vein under the town, stretching for thousands of miles, and the dragon's head happened to be where it is today. Yizhang Imperial Capital gathers all the luck in the entire dragon vein into the imperial city; and under Qinshui Town, it happens to be Nilin.
If a dragon has inverse scales under his throat, the baby will be angry. If he insists on going his own way and digs a deep well in Qinshui Town, it will inevitably touch the dragon veins, which will turn the entire earth vein from an auspicious appearance to a serious one. Unfavorable to the country. So for countless years, most people in Qinshui Town went to draw water from the water sources around the town, and never mentioned digging a well. The water from the only well in the town is now in the ancestral hall in the middle of the town, and is not allowed to be touched. .
And this kind of particularity, in the words of the girl, seems to be just a matter of particularity. After all, the dragon veins are said to be illusory, and no one has ever dug out the earth veins. I don't think there will be any curious people who waste time and effort to dig a pit dozens of miles deep. Just to explore whether there is a dragon vein under the town.
According to the girl, if the destiny of a country is all based on the illusory dragon vein, it will be a disaster. The civil and military officials simply put on their khaki official robes, dug a ditch under the imperial capital, and dug a ditch every day. To manage the Dragon Vein, there is no need to go to court at all.
The young man was amused by the girl's words and became more and more curious about this girl. It seemed that when it came to the general trend of the world, this girl was much more knowledgeable than him and had many unique insights. She did not look like a girl from a small town at all. Home. During the conversation, Yun Zhong also asked several times whether there were scholars in the girl's family, or whether the school teacher was an old scholar from the capital, but the girl denied it.
"A few years ago, there was a teacher in Qinshui Town. I heard that he came from the imperial city. I don't know why he resigned from his official position and came to the town to teach on his own. He was able to earn a lot of money from school. But at that time, my little daughter I was still at the age when I was playing on the street, and I had never seen this gentleman with my own eyes. When I arrived at the entrance hall, the old gentleman had drifted away and disappeared. These superficial opinions related to officialdom and the general trend of the world. , it’s just what the little girl got from books and outsiders’ mouths, and she can’t count them.” This girl was very talkative in casual conversation, but at this moment she was extremely humble, and she never considered what she was thinking as an opinion. , but it made the young man feel a little ashamed.
Yun Zhong smiled, lowered his eyes and said, "Compared to the girl who is so studious and tireless, I am really ashamed of myself. Those saints' articles and books in the elementary school seem to me to be difficult to understand, as if I can't understand them. I was about to fall asleep after just a few glances. Except for the handwriting taught by my husband, which was not too crooked, I accomplished nothing in the rest of my studies, so I went out to explore the world hastily." There is no falsehood in these words, but for those who are here, For Yun Zhong, who has been in school for two or three years, the words of the sages in the book can be said to be a good remedy for insomnia, and the homework is like a bowl of Mongolian sweat medicine soup that works very quickly. If you touch it, you will fall asleep. If you want to calm down, It is as difficult as climbing to the sky, let alone finding a few volumes to read in private.
Little did he know that after the girl heard this, she didn't care. Instead, she said softly, "Everyone has a path, but the path of a young hero is a little rougher than that of a scholar. Don't worry about it, I want to settle down in the world. , it is much more difficult than getting an official position, or working at a desk all day long, and it can easily endanger your life, but since you have chosen this rugged road, the young hero should have no regrets."
Yun Zhong stretched out his palms outside the window and moved slightly, then turned his head and looked at the undersized girl next to him with some astonishment. There was some shock in his eyes.
"Lying drunkenly in the rivers and lakes, watching the wild horses, thunder, rain and rhinoceros, killing the evil officials in the temple as a sign of eternal loyalty. After the white hair has passed, listening to the swords, wind, frost, and horse hooves trampling on the dream, there is no regret." There is no hint of disdain in the girl's eyes. But full of envy.
"I dare to ask the girl's name. In a few years, if you really want to go on a trip to the world, go to the Nangong Mountain in the southwest of Yizhang." Fortunately, what the girl said happened to hit the boy's heart, and maybe it was At this moment, in the moonlight, those watery eyebrows were particularly beautiful. Or maybe it was the world in the woman's heart that was too romantic. Yun Zhong said this without any reason and waited quietly for the woman's reply.
"How can a woman travel in the world?" The inexplicable meaning that surged in the girl's eyebrows soon fell away, and she lowered her eyes, showing that she was feeling a little depressed, "Even if the little girl intends to go to the world, I'm afraid that my father I'm not happy at all. In the eyes of the older generation, women are probably born to look after their husbands, raise their children, spin silk and take care of the house. They go to the rivers and lakes to dance with swords and swords all day long, but in the end they can't do anything."
The young man was not in a hurry. He touched his palms and felt numb in the bleak autumn wind. He stretched out his hands and saw that the blood stains on the handkerchief had dried up and were not as bright red as at first. Instead, they looked like date skin after autumn. , slightly dark red, and suddenly remembered some old things.
"I once had a brother who, although he did not kowtow and drink blood wine, and made false promises about wanting to die together, but after walking together for a while, we had different temperaments and temperaments. Fortunately, we got along well with each other, and our lives were connected in the vast wind and sand. Once they had a disagreement and got into a fight, almost causing Madman Wu to have his head chopped off." When he said this, Yun Zhong thought of Madman Tang's joyous appearance for no reason, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, " That dear friend took away a rich girl from a city when we parted. From what he said, it seemed that he also left his family and career behind."
"Master once told me that if you want to do something, just do it. Don't let it go because it's hard to leave. When you get old, you will think back to those days and regret it. There are always things to do and roads to walk. We have been born from God for dozens of years. It’s only been a year, so it’s best to go on this journey comfortably.”
Yun Zhong, who had always been reluctant to talk to others about reasoning, had a rare opportunity to reason with others.
"Kou Ziyi." Not long after Yun Zhong finished speaking, the girl suddenly spoke.
The former's smile became brighter and brighter.
"Nangong Mountain Yunzhong will definitely wait for the girl to come up the mountain in the future."
When the young man tiptoed back to the room, Liu Qing still didn't make any movement. Seeing that his senior brother had not been awakened, the young man gently lifted the quilt, slowly lay down on his back, spread his palms, and fell asleep.
Little did he know that the corners of the scholar's lips were slightly raised.
