Everyone on Taoyuan Island knows that there is a lunatic living by the lake. He is about 50 years old and his clothes are often tattered. He is crazy to the core and there is no room for turning around. Most of the people on the island know the reason. It was probably when the madman was not yet a madman that his family accidentally ate a poisonous fish. There were five members of the family, including his elderly parents, his first wife and his two sons. They all accidentally ate the poisonous fish, except for This lunatic man only managed to save his life by going out fishing in a boat. By the time he returned home, it was time to invite the country doctor. A time of sobriety.
People in the countryside are kind, and many families deliberately cook more meals and deliver them to the lunatic's residence. When the latter is more conscious, he still knows how to bow, but most of the time he is in a daze, walking along the lakeshore, crying or laughing, wearing clothes. Without covering the body, even if the people in the country are sympathetic and buy one or two pieces of clothing to send to the shack, the madman has always turned a blind eye. No matter it is summer or winter, they are all dressed in thin and tattered clothes, which often attracts people to come to the lake. The woman's face turned red with embarrassment, and she secretly scolded her for being immodest, but no one had ever come to bully her. After more than ten years of peace, Madman had never become thinner, nor had he starved to death by the lakeshore. But Madman is only afraid of fish, no matter whether it is a small fish as long as a palm or a big fish half as tall as a man. Whenever the fishermen come back, Madman will always cover his face with his hands and tremble on the road. Side, try your best to avoid seeing lake fish.
After a while, the people in the village realized the lunatic's temperament, and after discussion, they moved the boat dock slightly farther away, trying not to land from here and frighten the poor man. Although it was a waste of people and money, it was still useless. People argued that it was because the people had simple customs and good intentions, so they spent several months to forcefully move the port a little bit, but no one ever moved the crazy man's shack.
After all, the shack now happened to be located at the site of the man's original home, and no one had the heart to drive the crazy man away.
Today, Madman is wandering around again, crying and laughing, walking along the lakeshore. During the time of year when fishing is not allowed, Madman is always much more awake than usual, but he often cries twice, and then laughs evilly. , leaning forward and backward, it is not a hindrance, but when he saw a young man in white renting a small boat, the mad man actually ran up to him, danced and gestured, "Uncle, when will you figure it out?"
Yun Zhong got up early today, feeling refreshed. He took his long sword and went out. He planned to rent a small boat and go to the middle of the lake to calm down. He sang Canghai ballads and walked out. He heard that there was still thunderous snoring in the house next door. , the vibration made the eardrums hurt. Naturally, he knew that Yan Jiaqing had drank half a tank of wine yesterday and was in a deep sleep, so he went downstairs without disturbing his dream.
The lean waiter was on duty today and walked into the store with the strong young man named Brother Yan. He happened to meet the young man slowly walking downstairs. He eagerly came forward to greet him and said that he was a young man yesterday. After drinking a full tank, he actually drank twice as much as Mr. Yan. Today, he didn’t expect to still get up early. He could really be called a drunkard, but he happened to lose the bet because of it. Although he didn’t lose money, he was Brother Yan flicked his head six or seven times so hard that a red envelope almost appeared on his head.
Yun Zhong smiled helplessly. Only he knew about this matter. Where was the huge amount? It was clearly the Qiu Lake in his belly that had absorbed most of the wine. It was so good that it stirred in his belly for more than half a night. No matter how he knew, it was clearly in the nameless village. Ordinary soju, why Qiu Hu was almost crazy, he drank most of the wine, churned in his stomach for half a night, reshaping countless fine meridians, and then he could calm down, so he just shook his head and said that he was showing off, which was considered a very good skill.
Brother Yan was also quite straightforward. He said that when he was quieter for a while, he would have a few drinks with Yun Zhong. It was obvious that the young man was much younger, so how could he have such a huge amount of wine. Yun Zhong responded with a smile, and immediately went out and found a light-looking boat. He chatted with the old man standing next to the boat. The latter said that the boat was of no use at this time and there was no need to spend money to get it by himself. Just use it, which really makes Yun Zhong a little suspicious.
It was at this moment that Madman came forward and mumbled some nonsense, which made the young man blink and ask, "Brother, are you talking to me?"
The madman seemed to be disdainful, nodded and said, "Uncle, when will you figure it out?"
Yun Zhong didn't know why, but the old man guarding the boat opened his mouth and explained that this was a lunatic known to everyone on Taoyuan Island. He explained very clearly what he was like in his early years and what he is like now. Then he looked at the young man. Dressed up, he whispered, "Being entangled with this person, not to mention your wealth of thousands of taels of silver, or your superb swordsmanship and prestige, you can't get rid of it for a while. After all, you are already crazy, money is useless, and you once made a fortune." Several kind-hearted country people gave him a lot of copper coins and broken silver, but he threw them into the lake and never used them. After all, he was a lunatic. Money was completely useless to him. The young hero should carefully consider his words and don't use them. If you offend this person, if you keep pestering him all day long, it will only add to the annoyance."
Yun Zhong heard this with great interest, and although the old man was warning him, his expression showed no trace of disgust. After admonishing him, he turned away and talked quietly, saying that he was also a simple and honest man at the beginning. How could this happen? When faced with a sudden disaster, God really doesn't want to allow any blessing, so he doesn't say anything anymore.
The lunatic on the side was still looking at the young man's face expectantly, muttering something in his mouth, repeating the sentence "Uncle, uncle, when will you figure it out?" Yun Zhong was so blessed that he didn't answer, but smiled at the lunatic and asked, "Then how about that?" When should you figure out what you see?"
Upon hearing this, Madam's eyebrows lit up with joy, he clapped his hands and laughed, "It's today, it's today." Then he ignored Yun Zhong's reply and ran away, often looking back and jumping up to take a look. The young man who was still standing where he was seemed to be quite happy.
Yun Zhong couldn't help but smile, and boarded the boat by himself. He bowed again with the old man guarding the boat, and shook the oars. As if the arrows were flying off the string, they immediately took a hundred steps away and headed straight into the middle of the lake.
The old man didn't expect that this young-looking young man could really coax the lunatic into beaming with smiles with just one word. He seemed to have gotten such a huge advantage. He felt strange at the moment, so he took off his bamboo hat and scratched his face. After years of wind and sun, the hair on the top of my head was sparse, and I was wondering why this man, who had always been so difficult to deal with, had changed his temper today. However, he suddenly looked at the young man holding the sword, standing in the middle of the lake. When there was still an extremely long distance, I was already lying down in the boat, making countless ripples. I just stretched out my hands to slowly push the boat, and I understood something at that moment.
Most people in the world of rivers and lakes are looking for pleasure, and their behavior is no different from that of madness. A few years ago, there was also a person in the world of rivers and lakes who went out during the heavy rain and danced in the rain. He was even more crazy than a madman. If you are crazy, maybe the crazy person can be regarded as a confidant.
The sky is clear and the weather is clear. Yun Zhong is not crazy, but the lake is huge. Hundreds of steps away from the shore, he is still among the reeds. The old reeds from last year are yellow and dry, and there are not many dead reed flowers left, swaying in the wind. At this time of year, it is easy to seduce people's hearts. Withered and yellow leaves are like grasshoppers coming in autumn, reaching the sky and the shore. For no reason, the young man remembered that there was a similar patch of reed in that small town. Although it was not as big and lush as this, no matter how many children trampled it down, it seemed that after a few days it would straighten its back and follow the wind. When it moves, the sound is really nice, and the water is clear to both sides. The boat is suspended in the air, and I can't help but lie down in the boat, looking at the long sky with light clouds swaying from time to time, and my mind is far away.
The gentleman who was very good at making mistakes once said that why many literati chose to live in vast swamps or endless mountains and rivers when they were relegated or involved in mysterious cases or when they were at their lowest. It was because they encountered obstacles in their way. , it is easy to destroy your mind at all times, and you will inevitably go astray and lose your original intention of being an official. However, until now, most of the poems and essays that have been widely circulated still keep their original intention, so most of them will be frustrated throughout their lives. There was an act of compromise.
When the teacher said this, Yunzhong happened to wake up Li Dahui, and then heard the teacher say that in fact, the minds of scholars may not be very big, so they should always pay attention to the mountains and rivers. When they see the big lakes and swamps and the vast sea tides, they will He secretly replaced it with his own mind and state of mind, thinking about the sea that accommodates hundreds of rivers and lakes that can accommodate thousands of rains. The big things that were always on his mind and always on his mind can no longer be called big things at this moment, but flow with the rivers and lakes. And flow eastward, at least at this time, look at the mountains, and the mountains form your mind; at this time, look at the water, and think level. This is the so-called benevolent and wise people, the most brilliant self-forgiveness knowledge.
When he heard these words, Yun Zhong was just a little kid who was often active and playing with his classmates. Hearing this, he could clearly remember the look on his face when his husband looked at him. He was solemn and calm, and he tasted it carefully. He was really attracted by these words. The mountains and rivers hidden in it were magnificent, and he was so excited that he broke into a hot sweat. On that day, Yun Zhong never lost his mind again, but behaved well, shaking his head and memorizing the book. However, I can no longer remember the words in the book clearly. I can only vaguely recall this passage, and now I have a slight understanding of it.
Yesterday I laughed at the sea, today I came to explore the lake.
When the mind is broad, it is as broad as the sea waves gathered in the lake. When it is time to sing, it is the time to be happy and forget the worries, and the wine is falling off the beard. The two are also the same.
Before he started to practice, the young man always felt that the methods and practices of the Yunxian family in those story books were mysterious and mysterious, and wonderful and wonderful. However, after he really started to practice, he realized that everything is not easy. , there is no point in holding a sword and killing people with blood spattering in ten steps, but they still have the heart to drink wine and compose poems, and they still have to leave a few useless words that are tasteless and it is a pity to throw them away.
So Yunzhong no longer asked the questions that were always lingering in his heart, and lay down comfortably in the boat, looking up at the sky and vaguely seeing clouds, wondering if there were immortals among the clouds. His eyebrows were light and even a little lively, just like that crazy man. .
"Taoyuan is a blessed land, Huichuan can be like a cave." In the room above the tavern, Yan Jiaqing turned over, his face had returned to its original appearance, muttered, and then laughed twice, "The drinks are not bad, a spring night, look Even a fisherman like me can hardly hold it back, the steamed buns are so big and the fermented glutinous rice is so fragrant." Immediately, he fell asleep again, with a despicable smile.
