"Legend has it that more than a thousand years ago, during the Yin and Shang dynasties, there was a feudal kingdom of the Emperor Shang in the north, called the Guzhu Kingdom. The king of the Guzhu Kingdom was called Lord Guzhu.
As for Lord Guzhu, he has two sons. The eldest son's name was Boyi. The second son is called Shuqi.
Gu Zhujun admired his youngest son Shuqi very much, so he wanted Shuqi to be his successor and inherit his position as king. However, Shu Qi had a very good relationship with his brother Boyi, and he did not want to take away the position of king that originally belonged to his brother, so he planned to escape from Lone Bamboo Kingdom. After his brother Boyi knew about this, he did not want to force his brother away like this, so he escaped from the Guzhu Kingdom with his younger brother Shuqi. Since there was no heir, after the death of Lord Guzhu, the Guzhu Kingdom also ceased to exist. The country has perished. "
"These two people are really weird. So, what happened next?" Li Huigu had a puzzled expression on her face. She continued to listen to Xia Houxuan's story attentively.
Speaking of this, Xia Houxuan couldn't help but sigh slightly. He continued:
"Later, the two brothers Boyi and Shuqi fled to the territory of Jichang, the Marquis of Xibo in the Western Zhou Dynasty. They lived in seclusion for many years until they were more than seventy years old. An earth-shattering event broke their peace. life."
Hearing this, Huigu asked hurriedly:
"I wonder what happened?"
Xia Houxuan continued:
"Soon, King Wen of Zhou died and King Wu Jifa came to the throne. Soon, King Wu began to ally with the princes and sent troops to attack the emperor King Zhou. The two brothers Boyi and Shuqi were originally vassals of the Yin and Shang Dynasties. They felt that the Yin and Shang Dynasties were their and the As the suzerain of the Zhou tribe, King Wu violated the rules of a monarch and his ministers by attacking Zhou, so they blocked the marching ceremony of King Wu Jifa in the street. However, King Wu was determined and the two did not succeed in persuading him. In the end, the Shang Dynasty was cut off by King Wu. , the King of Shang piled his treasures on the deer platform, set himself on fire and died. After hearing the news, Boyi and Shuqi were very sad and angry, so they fled to Shouyang Mountain and decided not to eat Zhouli from now on."
"But at that time, the whole world already belonged to the Zhou Dynasty. If they don't eat Zhou Li, what can they eat?" Hui Gu couldn't help but curiously asked after hearing this.
"After the two of them escaped to Shouyang Mountain, they began to pick weeds for food." Xia Houxuan picked up a weasel and smiled: "This is it. Later, a local peasant woman found out about them and felt that they The behavior of the people was very ridiculous, so she asked them the question you just asked. She said to Boyi and Shuqi: "Is it the king's land in the whole world? The whole world belongs to our king of Zhou. Are you eating now?" Doesn’t Wei Cai grow on my land in the Zhou Dynasty?’. After hearing these words, Boyi, Shu and Qi felt very ashamed, so they later stopped eating even Wei Cai. Later, they went on a hunger strike. And died. This is the story of Boyi and Shu Qi Caiwei."
Xia Houxuan took a bite of fresh wild fruit, chewed the steamed bun in his mouth, and spoke vaguely. At this time, Xia Houxuan was very puzzled by the behavior of Boyi and Shuqi, so he didn't respect them very much, so he talked like this while eating.
"These two old men are so pedantic." Li Huigu still looked incomprehensible. Having grown up in the mountains, she naturally could not understand the thoughts of the ancients. It was just that in her mind, it seemed She vaguely remembers that there was once a person who told her these truths when she was very young. As for that person, was she her father or her mother? It's been so long that I no longer remember it.
Or maybe, there are many memories that she no longer wants to think about anymore.
"Does Miss Li think so too? It's really wonderful." Xia Houxuan seemed to be very happy that someone had the same idea as him. Since he was a child, his parents and ancestors have been nagging in his ears. Violation, but in my opinion, it is good to be loyal to the emperor, but you must also be loyal to the emperor who is worthy of loyalty. Foolish loyalty like Boyi Shuqi is not worthy of people to imitate!
At this time, he was still just a dissolute young man. What he didn't know was that many years later, his views on Boyi and Shuqi would become completely opposite to those before. Not only that, but whether the truth about King Wu's defeat of Zhou was really as recorded in the annals of history. He had doubts.
In the next few days, Huigu would come to the hunting pit almost every day to bring food to Xiahou Xuan. And he would also tell her about some strange things he read in books every day, as well as some folk customs in Luoyang, the capital city.
On the fourth day, Xia Houxuan suddenly remembered that his mission had not been completed yet. Xia Houxuan couldn't help but feel excited when he thought that Li Huigu was also a medical woman.
"By the way, Miss Li. Your medical skills are so good. I think you should know many famous doctors."
"So what if you recognize him?" Li Huigu was puzzled. She had already helped him heal his horse. When he came up, she would naturally help him heal his injured muscles and bones. Why was he still looking for a famous doctor?
"To be honest, I have an elder in the capital who is seriously ill and in urgent need of medical treatment. Someone told me that in the world, only two disciples of the former miracle doctor Hua Tuo, Wu Pu and Fan A, could cure this elder's condition. I'm getting better. I heard that Wu Pu and Fan A were traveling in Langya, Qingzhou, so I traveled thousands of miles to come to Qingzhou to seek medical treatment. If the girl knows where they live and whereabouts, could you please tell me? It's a matter of concern. In order to save my life, if Miss Li can help me, I would be very grateful."
"Mr. Wu Pu..." Li Huigu seemed to hesitate for a moment before she said: "To be honest, Mr. Wu Pu is my mentor, and I am his female disciple. And Mr. Fan A , then he is my uncle."
"Really?" Xia Houxuan was naturally very excited after hearing this. He hurriedly asked: "After I get out of this predicament, can you trouble me, girl, to take me to meet your mentor, Mr. Wu Pu?"
"But...Master went to Youzhou for a tour a month ago, and he didn't say when he would come back..." Li Huigu couldn't help but said apologetically when she saw Xiahou Xuankong running away.
"So that's it..." Xia Houxuan looked a little disappointed as his mood dropped. He thought to himself that he had come all the way this time, and he thought that his sincerity would surely lead to the success of gold and stone. However, he did not expect that fate had played a trick on him, and his trip was in vain.
Seeing that Xia Houxuan was in a depressed mood, Huigu didn't dare to disturb him anymore. After comforting him for a few words, she picked up the medicine basket and went home.
At night, Xia Houxuan suddenly felt that his physical strength and skills had almost recovered. He looked at the entrance of the cave, and his heart was ready to move. Finally, he was tempted to test. He gathered his energy, took a deep breath, and started to practice the light skill passed down from his family. He jumped up from the outside of the cave and saw that his white shirt was slightly empty. He actually jumped more than ten feet in one leap!
It's a pity that the hole is too deep. It seems that he can escape with only half a foot. However, Xia Houxuan is weak and weak after all. Although he tried his best, he still couldn't jump out. In desperation, he could only Neng fell down lightly again.
The night is getting darker.
Xiahou Xuan felt sleepy gradually, so he took the "Quality" sword as a pillow and slept with his clothes on. After a while, he fell into a deep sleep.
In the jungle, certain sounds came from time to time. The sound of 'hiss...hiss...' seemed to be synthesized into some kind of melody in the darkness.
Early next morning. Li Huigu sent water to the other party as usual.
"Brother Xiahou..." Li Huigu shouted towards the entrance of the cave, but no one responded. Li Huigu said in surprise: "Strange, doesn't this guy usually wake up very early?"
"Xia Houxuan!" She shouted louder towards the entrance of the cave, but there was still no response. Could it be that he had left? This was impossible. She seemed to have noticed something was wrong, and she couldn't help but panic. She immediately leaned over to the entrance of the cave and looked down. Xia Houxuan was indeed lying at the bottom of the cave, but his face looked much paler, and he There seemed to be something like a black ribbon wrapped around the sleeves of the pure white Hufu. It was a poisonous snake in the mountain!
Li Huigu made a quick decision and immediately pulled out the dagger she used to collect medicine from her waist and threw it at the snake. The dagger flew lightly and skillfully, hitting the snake's head without missing a beat.
"Xia Houxuan..." Li Huigu suddenly panicked. The entrance to the cave was so high, how could she save him. Li Huigu anxiously shouted towards the bottom of the cave: "Xia Houxuan, don't be afraid, you will be fine. I will get the medicine basket right now..."
Li Huigu rushed home as fast as she could. After a while, she hurried back to the cave entrance with the medicine basket. She looked at the hole that was more than two feet long, hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth, and jumped in with the medicine basket in hand!
The moment she fell into the deep pit, Li Huigu felt a sharp pain in her left leg, and a thin stream of cold sweat immediately broke out on her forehead.
"Xia Houxuan... hold on..." Li Huigu ignored the injury to her left leg and endured the severe pain. She struggled to help Xia Houxuan up, unbuttoned his sleeves, and hurriedly began to check the injury on his left arm. Sure enough, , Xia Houxuan's arm already had four small and eye-catching holes, which were bitten by poisonous snakes. She did not hesitate, grabbed Xia Houxuan's left arm, sucked the wound bitten by the poisonous snake, and spit out the venom. , and took out some herbs from the medicine basket, chewed them, and applied them carefully to the wound on Xia Houxuan's arm.
"Xia Houxuan...you can't die, hold on...this time...can I tell you a story this time?...please don't die..." He has always been lively, cheerful and gentle. The gentle and generous Li Huigu seemed to be confused at this moment, her face was covered with tears, and she couldn't help mumbling something.
She didn't understand why she was so nervous. As she cried, many childhood memories came to mind.
