From ancient times to the present, the people's hearts are like a strong tide, which can carry a boat thousands of miles and tip a dragon boat into the sky.
Therefore, people often say: He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world.
Whether Liu Yi can capture the hearts of the people of Chisong County today is still unknown.
...
After everyone had arrived, Uncle Li stood in the center and spoke first, "Old guys, in the past few years, God's face has become worse and worse. Our lives are getting poorer and poorer. This young man, let's go." , it’s all gone, our Chisong County has no popularity at all!”
All the elders felt sad and felt the same, and nodded in agreement.
Uncle Li let out a long sigh and said, "Even though we, the proud old men, can lie down in the ice, we can't help but spring is approaching. We will be burned to ashes in a hundred years. Who should bear the responsibility of protecting Tianchi and our hometown?"
The lively atmosphere gradually dissipated, everyone was drooping, and the atmosphere was depressed for a time.
Second Master Wang leaned on crutches and stood up tremblingly. Perhaps he had worked too hard on Liu Yi's affairs in the past few days, or perhaps he was too excited today. .
Mr. Wang didn't feel embarrassed. He gently pulled Liu Yi, who was standing next to him, and said with a smile, "Child, pull me up!"
Hearing the sound, Liu Yi hurriedly approached, put one hand around the waist of the second master Wang, and gently used the other hand from the elbow of the second master Wang to bring the second master Wang up. To outsiders, they thought Liu Yi was having sex with the second master Wang. Talk intimately.
Mr. Wang smiled at Liu Yi and said, "Son, you gave me a hand, and now it's my turn to give you a hand!"
Isn't that what life is like? Few people can walk thousands of miles alone. Most people spend their lives with a group of people pulling each other.
The Second Master Wang calmly took half a step back, and Liu Yi stood in the most conspicuous position. When everyone saw it, they all turned their attention to Liu Yi.
The Second Master Wang smiled with satisfaction, caressed Liu Yi's back behind him, and said, "Since ancient times, heroes have emerged from youth. At a time when our Beijing people are about to be exterminated, my little benefactor Liu Yi is like a gift from God, helping us to solve our problems, so that we can I am so lucky that my people can continue to live a subsistence life! Old man, I would like to propose that we thank our little benefactor."
The elders present didn't say anything. They stood up one after another and saluted Liu Yi. Liu Yi was flattered and hurriedly helped each other. At the same time, he said humbly, "The life of the people in Chisong is getting better day by day. It is all thanks to the proper application of the law by all the elders. It is all thanks to everyone's tenacious will. Yi Bin There is no merit to speak of. This action of the seniors will disgrace the juniors! Get up quickly, get up quickly!"
The atmosphere in the venue suddenly rose to an unspeakable level between compliments.
Uncle Li was watching from the side. The old man controlled the heat and talked about ordinary things, including Liu Yi's obstruction by Jiang Ruisheng in serving the people and Liu Yi's revenge for the massacre at Gongyangzhai. Everyone present was filled with righteous indignation. At this moment, Uncle Li immediately said righteously, "Today, our little benefactor has been blocked, and his men are stretched thin. It is the time for us to repay our kindness and fight on the battlefield. Guys, shouldn't we give our fullest help?"
At this time, the elders began to talk about it. Only a few people expressed their support generously, and the rest looked embarrassed.
Liu Yi stood aside and said nothing. He had already guessed this outcome in his heart. The small favor of helping the people of Chisong improve their living standards was not enough to make everyone risk their lives.
Uncle Li felt that his face had been damaged, and his old face turned red from suppressing it. He reprimanded, "My little benefactor has been kind to me, and we should help you generously. You old guys have lived for such a long time, and you have suffered from all your righteousness." Is the dog’s belly gone?”
An old man sitting in the corner smiled bitterly and said, "Old man Li, we all understand the truth, but there is nothing we can do. If all the young and strong people leave, how will the group of old and young people in the village live?"
Another old man stood up and said resolutely, "In the early spring, everything is waiting for things to be done. The livelihood of the village must not be neglected, but the kindness to my benefactor must be repaid. My benefactor, please give me a few days, and I will go back and win over you." Those old guys who can still mount a horse, please go with your benefactor!"
Second Master Wang broke his horse and Zhang Fei said, "Bah! With a body like yours, are you going to help? Or are you going to be a burden?"
The old man stepped forward angrily to argue with Mr. Wang, and the small square suddenly exploded.
Faced with life problems, Liu Yi immediately gave the answer. Liu Yi stood on the stone bench, cupped his hands, and shouted loudly, "Seniors, coming to recruit troops today is really an extraordinary and helpless move. Yi knows that he is shameless, so he doesn't dare to rely on small favors and ask for them. However, there are two things that need to be told to the seniors. Whether they are true or false, the seniors can distinguish by themselves. After I have finished talking about these two things, the seniors can do it. It’s not too late to decide.”
There was silence in the field, and everyone's eyes once again focused on this learned young man.
Liu Yi paused for a moment, then asked, "Seniors, for thousands of years, the people of Beigu have only been ordered to stay and guard Tianchi, but do you know what they are guarding?"
An elder of the tribe said without hesitation, "Of course this is to prevent the Xiangliu family from going south to invade our Central Plains. It is precisely because of this that our Beijue people have stayed in this uninhabited death place for dozens of generations!"
Another clan elder followed and said, "In addition to preventing the Xiangliu clan from going south, we also have the important task of guarding Tianchi."
Liu Yi fixed his eyes and asked sincerely, "Since the Xiangliu clan has been wiped out, then I, the Beijing people, only have the responsibility of guarding Tianchi. Is this junior right?"
All the elders nodded in response.
Liu Yi put his hands behind his back and asked with a warm smile, "Seniors and juniors, I dare to ask, do you seniors know why you want to protect Tianchi?"
For a moment, no one in the room could answer.
Everyone knows that Tianchi has secrets, but no one knows the real secret of Tianchi. These Beijiao people are like loyal guardians given by God. They only know how to stick to it and don't know how to ask for it.
Thinking of this, Liu Yi admired these people in front of him even more.
If a person can do it for decades, he may be loyal or persistent, but if he can do it for a thousand years, his heart will be stronger than gold.
While Liu Yi was distracted, pairs of eyes around him stared at Liu Yi attentively.
These native old people seem to have caught something, but they seem not to have caught it!
And Liu Yi was a little hesitant at this time.
Regarding the conjecture he was about to say, Liu Yi only got it from his father Liu Quansheng, and he was not sure. Saying it at this moment was a bit of a waste of money, but time did not wait for us. Since the two grandfathers had worked hard to provide a platform, Liu Yi could only give it a try.
The court fell silent, and Liu Yi clenched his fists and said impassionedly, "Decades ago, after the great scholar Huan Rong of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the late emperor, prime minister, and divine fortune teller Huan Yi used the principles of the Book of Changes to supplement the principles of Feng Shui. Planning the country for the late emperor, he said, "China takes the dragon as its totem, the rivers and rivers as its governor, the Huaihe River as its lifeline, the Sege River as its heroic back, the Qinshan Junling as its dragon's spine, and the Kunlun Holy Mountain as its backbone." The tail of a snake, the red pine Tianchi is its hare's eye, the dragon dances, frightening the world. Logically speaking, since this Tianchi is a divine creature in the world, it should absorb the essence of heaven and earth. Today’s scene appears, I wonder if you seniors can think about it?”
Everyone looked at each other.
Liu Yi breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "When Yu the Great established the Nine Provinces, there were nine dragon veins. According to previous records, Yi boldly speculated that the dragon vein in the northeast should be above Tianchi. Therefore, the people of Beigu have guarded the dragon veins for generations. Tianchi should be the place where a dragon vein is located.”
The elders suddenly realized that what they had been guarding for generations was one of the Nine Provinces Dragon Veins!
At this point, a hint of pride suddenly appeared on everyone's face. The Beijue people guarded a dragon vein with the strength of their clan, how magnificent it was!
Liu Yi continued, ""Tai Shi Gong Shu" once recorded: Yu Qin was wet in the ditch, his hands and feet were callous, he spoke for four years, and moved for four seasons. As the sage of Tao Zhu, Emperor Yu naturally did not treat such an important matter. They will let the Beikku people fend for themselves, and before they return to the Central Plains, they must have left behind something that the Beikku people need to survive."
Everyone is in high spirits!
Liu Yi expressed the other half of his guess, "According to the younger generation's speculation, this living thing is Bell Arrow Grass and Purple Quartz. And this living thing, Yi thinks, is the divine water of Tianchi on a thousand-foot mountain. However, God's will is always difficult to ask, and Emperor Yu did not tell these two secrets to the descendants of the Beijue people. We need to decipher them ourselves!"
Liu Yi's mouth was dry and he swallowed a sip of saliva. Just as he was about to continue talking, the spring breeze blew past Liu Yi's waist. Qiao Miaoqing, with light makeup and elegant clothes, walked over and said a blessing, "Uncle Li and Mr. Wang, according to the two elders' instructions, Request, the pork has been stewed, uncles have been traveling for a long time, how about we chat while eating?"
Uncle Li and Mr. Wang were so happy!
Compared to Fu Wen's use of coercion, Liu Yi prefers to use emotion. For today's matter, Liu Yi took out the last bit of money he brought from Wangnan Tower and ordered Wang Dali to take a few sergeants south. A total of seven fat and strong pigs were brought back to Liaoxi County, three of which were beaten and sacrificed by the Pingtian Army officers, and the remaining four were all slaughtered and stewed today to entertain the elders.
What Liu Yi instructed Qiao Miaoqing to say just now can be said to have raised the reputation of Houlonggang.
Uncle Li nodded slightly with an arrogant look on his face, and the steaming dry stewed pork was brought to the table by the women and children of Houlonggang. The elders, who could only eat pork during the Chinese New Year, smelled the aroma of the meat and closed their eyes with joy. Not catchy.
Liu Yixiao patted Uncle Li on the back, took a bowl for him personally, lowered his voice and said, "Grandpa, I have asked Beihai to bring some in the house. Don't worry, all the elders in Houlonggang, everyone All."
Uncle Li smiled and nodded, suddenly brushing his face with his sleeves and bursting into tears, "You kid, you can still think of my tribe in Houlonggang. In terms of carefulness, my old bones are not as good as yours!"
Liu Yi leaned over, quietly wiped away Uncle Li's tears, and said warmly, "Eat it quickly, grandpa, it won't taste good when it's cold."
Uncle Li had tears in his eyes. With trembling hands, he picked up a small piece of fat and thin pork and chewed it carefully and openly.
Seeing Uncle Li's excited face, Liu Yi smiled.
The most difficult thing in the world is not the icing on the cake, but the timely help!
Some people died, but not completely...
