The moonlight was sultry and two ounces of strong wine entered my throat. I suddenly missed my parents who were thousands of miles away.
My mother often said: Don’t serve a bowl that is too hot.
The words are rough and the reasoning is not rough.
After two years of wandering around the world, I suddenly had an epiphany: doing things as a human being is just like a mother making soup, and you have to pay attention to the heat.
If the heat is not enough, it will be difficult for everyone to adjust. If the heat is over, things will be scorched. Although this is the way to cook, it is also the same as being a human being.
When you are young and vigorous, you always want to become famous, but if you are too anxious, you will lose more than you gain.
A life that is too anxious is like a hot bowl, which will burn you if you touch it.
Mr. Da once said: If a bird wants to fly high, it first flutters its wings; if a man wants to make progress, he first studies.
Today, after two years of hard study, I have finally understood this sentence.
In the future, if I meet a half-hearted young man like me who once entered the world, I will sincerely tell him: learn the craft well and then go out to hang out.
...
Having said that, it is rare to find a true friend in this world.
Jiang Liu'er and I have known each other for more than two years. We have the same temperament and are irresistible. We talk about everything on weekdays.
But while drinking tonight, I always noticed a hint of gloominess between his brows that I had never seen before. I knew something was on his mind, so I found the right moment and asked casually, "What's going on, brother? Are you feeling springy or homesick? Do you want me to take you to look for flowers and ask Liu Yiban at night?"
Hearing my joke, the gloom in Jiang Liuer's eyes cleared away.
He hit me lightly with his elbow, his eyes were extremely ambiguous, "With you here, why should I miss spring?"
I'm numb! Instantly, I got goosebumps all over my body, and I yelled angrily, "Go, go, go! Go as far as you can! What a shame!"
Jiang Liuer smiled naively, then his eyes became blurred, and he said leisurely, "It's just that seeing the stars and moon in the sky, just like the shadow of Yaotai, reminds me of an old friend, and I am quite touched!"
I breathed a long sigh of relief and piled them aside like deflated sandbags. "In the blink of an eye, you and I have been away from home for two years, and the homesickness has become more and more intense!"
Seeing how sad I was, Jiang Liu'er chuckled and said, "We brothers have finished our studies. After a while, you and I will bid farewell to the teacher and go back to our hometown. How about that?"
When I heard this, I was very happy at first, but then I hesitated.
Jiang Liuer was like a roundworm in my belly. He immediately guessed what I was thinking and smiled, "Isn't it just that I went out with empty hands and came back with empty hands? What's the big deal? Don't worry, I really wish you well. I don’t care about this!”
I was full of doubts, "Which parent doesn't want their children to get ahead? Are you sure what you said is true?"
Jiang Liuer was extremely certain, "Really!"
I continued to ask, "What do they care about?"
Jiang Liuer called out, "Idiot," "Of course I hope you are well!"
I spread my hands and cursed, "Doesn't this mean you didn't say anything? Why do you like to fart tastelessly?"
Jiang Liuer feigned anger, "How can it be a tasteless fart? Just taste it carefully."
After I thought about it for a moment, I realized that what he said really made sense.
I relaxed, leaned to the side, and said carelessly, "Don't beat around the bush with me, what's wrong with you? If you have something to say, tell it quickly, if you have a story, tell it quickly, it will help you drink."
Jiang Liuer took a sip and said, "Brother, have you ever heard of Quzhou Jiang Family?"
"Who has never heard of the Quzhou Jiang family with its deep roots and towering peaks? Even the arrogant Liu family in Lingyuan, my hometown, are all lackeys of his Quzhou Mu Jiang Feng."
I shook the wine jar and said with a grin, "I heard that when Jiang Feng's army went out to the valley, there was no grass growing. Every dog that passed by had to be slapped twice, and every cricket on the tree had to have its legs removed, and all the eggs had to be given to you. If you shake it off, the ant holes will have to be filled with hot water for you!"
"Haha! It's not that scary!" Jiang Liu'er clapped and laughed, and asked, "But brother, what do you think of the Jiang family?"
Thinking of Jiang Liu'er's surname, and thinking of the place where we met that day
, I seem to have guessed something.
However, brothers do not tell lies. I calmed down and replied from the bottom of my heart, "To suppress people with force and to kill people's hearts with violence is not what the common people love, and it is not what the ministers look up to. Even if the Jiang family gains power for a while, it will eventually perish." !」
Jiang Liuer's expression showed no signs of change. He held the back of his head with both hands and whispered, "My old friend's surname is also Jiang! Brother. He is the abandoned son of the Jiang family."
Looking at the pretendingly calm look in his eyes, I was basically sure that the brother Jiang Liu'er was talking about was himself. However, a good brother will tell you when he sees through it, so I chuckled, put my arm around his shoulders, and said with squinted eyes, "Oh ? You actually have such rich friends? You hide it so deeply, brother, tell me, tell us quickly!"
Jiang Liuer looked at the moon in the distance, "Brother, do you know the reason why the Jiang family sang triumphantly all the way and was unparalleled in Quzhou?"
I thought for a moment and said, "In recent generations, the Jiang family has produced numerous talents. This is the core competitiveness of the Jiang family."
"Yes, the Jiang family has dominated the Central Plains for decades, relying on the strong strength of two generations of the Jiang family. In order to ensure that the descendants of the Jiang family can produce talents in large numbers, the elder Jiang Cang has set strict family rules."
Jiang Liu'er let out a short hiss, "One of the requirements is that the men of the Jiang family must be good at learning and be able to contribute to the revitalization of the family. The children of the Jiang family will shoulder the heavy burden of revitalizing the family when they are born!"
I said softly.
Jiang Liuer looked at me intently, "My brother can't do big things and doesn't want to do small things. He eats at home every day and waits to die. When he is twelve years old, according to the clan rules, he has to take a clan test. Those who fail in the clan test three times will be judged. kill!"
The word "kill" made my spirit tremble when I heard it. I immediately had mixed feelings and fell silent.
Jiang Liu'er, Jiang Liu'er, you were born into such a family where the jungle is strong and the strong eats the strong. You have no family ties or friendship. How sad it is!
"As for my brother, he got bad grades for three consecutive years. In order to keep him alive, his parents secretly sent him out of the city and left him to fend for himself. If God takes care of him, he can find his own way."
Jiang Liu'er took a sip of the wine and muttered to himself, "However, the country has national laws and the family has family rules. It is extremely difficult to escape from the shackles of the family! In order to give him a chance to survive, my brother's parents actually I accepted the punishment on his behalf and was willing to be expelled from my home. My brother also wandered in the rivers and lakes from now on, and he has no home and cannot return!"
Understand pain, know pain, understand pain. After listening to this story, I completely understood Jiang Liu'er and comforted me, "The bigger the head, the faster death. It's good to be an unknown little person!"
Jiang Liu'er shook his head helplessly, "The rules of the Jiang family are strict. There have always been only the souls of the Jiang family who died in battle, and there were no Jiang family members who escaped. In the past few days, he often had dreams. In his dreams, the Jiang family members were holding knives. Come and ask for his life! I’m afraid, even if my parents take the blame for him, my brother will not escape death!”
I remained silent and suddenly said, "Ask that brother to realize the Tao and enter the state of attaining things. Naturally, the Jiang family will not underestimate him."
"Brother, whether a person who commits a crime will die or not has little to do with the criminal's ability."
I curled my lips and said, "Then you will find a calligrapher and turn him upside down!"
"Haha! Do you think too highly of him? If he had that ability, wouldn't he have to leave his hometown?" Jiang Liu'er drank the wine in the jar and yawned, "I really hate it. Men like us!"
I raised my eyebrows, "Huh? What should I say?"
Jiang Liu'er shook his head, "I'm just a little person, but after drinking too much, I talk about important matters of family and country, and talk about it to the extreme, which is childish and ridiculous!".
"I don't agree with this." I drank the wine from the jar in one gulp and said forcefully, "I feel that at this time, we are too humble to forget about our country!"
Jiang Liu'er laughed loudly, and drank the wine in the jar, stood up and left, "If you can see the sun tomorrow, you should be glad that last night was a good night. Life is like a journey against the odds, and you and I are all travelers. "
Looking at the back, I finally couldn't help but persuade, "Brother, for me, I was born in a poor family.
There is no shame in being humble. As far as you are concerned, a husband who can bend and stretch can be a husband. No, if we two brothers hide further away, I won't believe that Jiang Feng can still find you all the way to the end of the world. "
"Go to bed early!" The voice gradually faded away.
The forest was lonely at night, and a feeling of powerlessness suddenly came from my heart. How great it would be if I could have the power to turn my hands into clouds and rain!
My brother's brother doesn't have to leave his hometown.
My brother was depressed, and I sat in a daze, feeling depressed all night.
But what I didn't expect was that after we got together that night, we would say goodbye forever.
My guess the night before turned out to be true. Jiang Liu'er was really a son of a noble family, and I was actually deceived by him for two years.
The next day, when the teacher placed Jiang Liuer's body in front of me, I felt like I was in a dream, couldn't believe it, and wanted to cry without tears.
The spirit of a young hero has always turned into dust, in a trance, in a trance, with empty white bones and yellow reeds...
I didn’t ask Dongfang Lie, my teacher at the Tiandong Realm, why he couldn’t save Jiang Liuer even with his realm.
From the teacher's evasive eyes, I knew everything.
It turns out that strength is the basis for maintaining dignity and justice!
It turns out that even though he is as powerful as a ninth-rate master, he never dares to touch Ni Lin, a wealthy family three thousand miles away.
That's three thousand miles from the south to the north! Where have all the boldness of you literati gone?
Why don't you dare to save a direct disciple?
I held back my tears, hugged Jiang Liuer, and left the village alone.
After collecting Jiang Liuer's ashes, I was alone in the bamboo forest outside the village, holding my brother in my arms, feeling sad and angry.
Teacher, let me ask you, do people who are not good really deserve to die?
Jiang Feng, let me ask you, do people who are not good really deserve to die?
God, let me ask you, do people who are not good really deserve to die? Should he die?
When I was hating God's injustice, Mr. Da's reply letter suddenly floated out in the wind in my arms. The six words in the letter, "I'll come back if I feel homesick," finally made me shed tears. I felt so homesick.
I want to go home!
