When Chinese people talk about things, they rarely go straight to the topic. People often turn around, or only insert the topic when they are drunk and happy. This is the Chinese so-called "circle inside and square outside" principle of life.
Some eloquence talents such as Gongsun Long, Hui Shi, Dongfang Shuo, Dongfang Chunsheng, etc. have turned language into art and brought language art to its peak. They are good at observing words and emotions, good at avoiding the important and taking the easy, and good at using language to incite and confuse people. His eloquent mouth created an era, and also created a sect and famous school that was very different from Confucianism, Legalism, Taoism, Mohism and other schools of thought.
From then on, speaking became a science.
A person who is eloquent, even if he has no talent for governing the country, can still dominate the world with his sharp tongue.
Whether Liu Yi can open up the situation in Houlonggang today depends entirely on Liu Yi's mouth.
The elders from various villages who participated in the gathering ate like gluttons.
Liu Yi and Qiao Miaoqing stood aside, serving tea and water. Liu Yi had been working as a waiter in Wangbei Tower for five or six years, so he was very familiar with this kind of service. Qiao Miaoqing, who had a beautiful appearance, had been working in a honey jar since she was a child. I was clumsy, and soon I was dripping with sweat. I almost reached the stage of "volcanic eruption".
One of them was clever and the other was diligent. To see whose bowl reached the bottom, they immediately stepped forward with a big basin and filled it with a spoonful. This made the old men satisfied with their meat addiction. They ate happily and praised Liu. Yi knows how to love the virtuous and respect the elderly.
In this regard, Liu Yi said nothing, just smiled innocently, stood aside respectfully, and continued to serve everyone.
Thousands of words are useless, and silence is better than sound at this time. Liu Yi's move won him more favor and fame.
Just as the elders were sitting in the midfield enjoying their meal, Mr. Wang narrowed his eyes, and without losing the opportunity, he intervened again, shouting, "Hey guys, you can't eat the pork in this bowl for free." , everyone must listen carefully to what our little benefactor is telling us, otherwise Lao Li and I will not agree!"
An old man with oil stains on his beard glared at Mr. Wang and angrily scolded Mr. Wang, "As for my little benefactor, even if we don't have this bowl of meat, we will keep it in mind. Where can we get it?" Old man Wang, you have to worry about it!"
Another gray-haired old man followed suit, "That's right, even eating meat can't stop your mouth."
Ha ha ha ha!
The whole audience burst into laughter, and the laughter was as strong as the pounding rain.
When the sweaty little girl heard the laughter, her black hair danced, she quietly tugged at the corner of Liu Yi's clothes, and whispered, "It seems like there is something interesting about what happened today!"
Liu Yi tilted his head back, held the back of his head with both hands, and looked up at the sky, "Life is short, nine points are destined, and one part depends on hard work. To get here, we have worked hard, and the rest depends on fate."
Qiao Miaoqing muttered, "What the hell! Fate! Sir, I believe in people rather than heaven, I believe in swords but not fate!"
Liu Yi smiled, nuzzled his lips to a clan elder not far away, and said to Qiao Miaoqing, "Hurry up, didn't you see that the bowl is empty?"
At this time, a clan elder with a loud voice opened his mouth and said, "Little benefactor, just keep talking. Although we are old, we are not confused, and the account in our hearts is clear! If little benefactor can really convince me, Old man, even if I lose everything, I will fight to the end."
As soon as these words came out, all the elders responded one after another.
Uncle Li smiled and pushed his hand to Liu Yi. Liu Yi shyly stood on his small stone bench, nodded shyly to the elders, and continued what he had said before the meal, "Thank you for your hard work, seniors. I have come all the way here to listen to the juniors chattering a few words, and I can see that the seniors are very interested, so the juniors might as well add a few words to the cake and chatter a few words!"
The place fell silent once again. Everyone stopped using their chopsticks and looked at Liu Yi attentively.
Liu Yi did not refuse. He clasped his hands, looked around, and asked, "I learned from my father that the water in Tianchi is a product of heaven and earth. The water is sacred and the mountains are beautiful. There are countless elixirs in the mountains, all of which are worth thousands of gold." It must be that the seniors have only seen its mountains but have never been to them, right?"
A gray-haired clan elder said with a wry smile, "My little benefactor! The sacred mountain is so high, thousands of feet high. Ordinary men will feel uncomfortable and have trouble breathing when they climb halfway up, let alone see the Tianchi Saint. Scenery. Besides, how can we, who have been guardians of the pool for generations, dare to easily come and disturb it?"
Liu Yi chuckled and said softly, "Senior is right. Therefore, what the junior will say next may subvert the cognition of the seniors. Please make your own decision. Because what the junior says next is only based on other people's opinions. It is impossible to verify the authenticity of what is obtained from words and personal inferences!”
Uncle Li hurriedly came out to smooth things over, and said carelessly, "Oh my! My dear benefactor, just tell me everything you know! Whether it's right or wrong, these old guys have their own minds!"
Liu Yi spoke like a storyteller, "The senior just talked about the mountain of Tianchi, so the junior will talk about the water of Tianchi next. The water of Tianchi is also called Weilong Spring. It is said that the water of Weilong Spring can conceive dragons and nourish dragons. , water and dragons depend on each other, dragons are born from water, water is spiritual because of dragons, the sky is full of water and the dragon's veins are shaded, the fullness and exhaustion can still be felt, the mountains are high and the pools are endless, that's all."
The elders listened attentively.
"The true dragon veins are strong and condensed early, and the four seasons are infused with great honor and honor. Weilongquan is the divine water, and it should have the magical effect of creating the universe."
The elders were secretly surprised.
At this point, Liu Yi suddenly raised his voice and said, "Yi once again ventured to guess that if Tianchi's sacred water could be introduced into Chisong for irrigation, it would be enough to turn the barren fields into fertile soil. With the power of Tianchi's sacred water, Chisong County would definitely become a fortress. Jiangnan.”
This guess was so bold that all the elders were surprised. Afterwards, all the elders remained silent and lowered their heads in thought.
Seeing that the medicine was not strong enough, Liu Yi frowned, his heart skipped a beat, and he continued to speak loudly, "When the people of Beijue awaken their clan seal, it will inevitably lead to disaster, but if you can stay in the water of Tianchi, you may encounter it." Turn evil into good fortune and turn things around!"
There was silence in the midfield, and all the elders remained still. Even Uncle Li and Mr. Wang were almost shocked. The two elders did not know that Liu Yi actually made such a bold assertion. This assertion was truly audacious!
After finishing speaking in one breath, Liu Yi felt relieved and relaxed. Instead, he sat there and ate the delicately stewed pork. The fat and thin pork melted in his mouth, and the taste melted into his heart.
If successful, finish eating the meat and head north!
If not, eat the meat and go north to die!
Uncle Li was the first to react, put down his bowls and chopsticks, went up and held Liu Yi's shoulders, and asked in a frown, "My dear benefactor, are you serious about what you said? This matter is related to the rise and fall of our Beigu clan. You , you can’t lie to us old bones!”
"Uncle Li, this junior has just made it clear. This is just a speculation for this junior. I leave you to the seniors to decide for yourself what is right and wrong." Liu Yi said very relaxedly, but he was nervous in his heart. He was afraid of misleading others and himself. , and finally added, "Fine words are empty, but true words are true. Bitter words are medicine, and sweet words are disease. Seniors and juniors can only make decisions on this matter so far, and can no longer draw any conclusions!"
The breeze floated in the village, and the midday sundial view slanted on the body, which was particularly warm. Liu Yi looked around the village and saw all the white heads. A trace of sadness came to him. The young man couldn't help himself and chanted, "As the bones grow old, the willows have nowhere to find their roots; Leng Meng Frequently frightened, no new branches appear on the old bamboo.”
A careless moan suddenly arouses the sadness of all the elders.
In recent years, life in Chisong County has become more and more difficult. The only grain fields have almost no harvest. Even if they work hard, everyone has to tighten their belts to live. Young men have gone south to Liangliao to seek a happy life. , what is left in Chisong County now is a group of stubborn white-headed people!
This is not a trivial matter. The most fatal thing is that as the tribe dispersed, the number of Beiku people dropped sharply. In order to extend their lives, most Beiku people chose to intermarry with foreigners. The ancient bloodline of 'Beiku', which has been passed down for thousands of years, Getting thinner and thinner.
This incident has always been the biggest nightmare in the hearts of the Beiku people.
If the bloodline of the Beijue clan ends at the hands of Mr. Wang's generation, then everyone here will be a sinner!
"Living in the old property, the family has only four walls, the east fence is lonely, there is no cockcrow on the road, the old man has no support, and no one to rely on. The northern wild geese are whimpering, there are no yellow-leaf trees in the rain, and there are all white-headed people under the lamp." The second master Wang lamented, "If If we don’t take the gamble, I’m afraid we, the Beijers, will really become extinct!”
"Beihai, pack your things the next day, take your brothers with you, go to Pingtian Military Camp, find your benefactor, join the army, and go to Tianchi!"
After Wang Erye shouted to the wooden house, he picked up the bowl and took big bites of the pork, his eyes filled with crystal clear eyes.
"Little benefactor, old man, I have a child here. Her name is Bei Youwan. She is an orphan. In a few days, she will be in the peach and plum years. I am about to call up the family seal and ask her and a few young men from our village to go there. Come on! If the divine water of Tianchi can protect her life, our little benefactor will be the person worshiped by our village for generations. If she is unfortunately buried in Tianchi, haha, it will save her parents from having to pay homage to her during the Qingming Festival."
After a clan elder finished speaking, he held the empty meat bowl, saluted Liu Yi from afar, and turned around to leave the village.
Some of the elders expressed their opinions, and some did not, but everyone chose to finish the bowl full of meat and left the table to say goodbye.
The next day, hundreds of ragged young men filled the entire Pingtian military camp.
...
In the past few days, more than 400 young men have integrated into the Pingtian army, shouting and practicing all day long, sharpening their swords.
Liu Yi seemed to have picked up a treasure. Among the more than 400 people, there were more than 100 Beiku tribesmen, both male and female, with physiques that could shake trees. The girl from Taohuagang who was about to evoke the clan seal, Bei Youwan, His strength is actually comparable to that of Wang Dali, who is in the realm of armor removal, which makes people sigh with emotion.
It seems that all the elders from the two mountains, seven villages and twelve hills have spent their wealth in order to revitalize the Beiku clan.
At Li Erniu's suggestion, these ordinary young men among more than 400 people were mixed into the Pingtian army, and were uniformly dispatched and commanded by Wang Dali.
The Beiku people are divided into men and women. Thirteen Beiku girls formed an independent troupe. Beiyouwan served as the corps leader, and Qiao Miaoqing personally taught some basic martial arts skills.
The remaining Beijue boys formed their own guard, named "Beijue". Li Erniu was appointed as the guard captain, and they practiced riding, archery and simple marching formations.
Liu Yi would burst into tears every time he looked at hundreds of young men.
You can tell whether people's hearts are true or false when things happen!
The rest is up to me!
Some people died, but not completely...
