The first meeting between Wen Ming and Nvjiao was very ordinary. Nvjiao even just listened to Wen Ming in the crowd and promoted Azai's virtues. She thought about it. She had heard the name Nuzai many times. It seemed like Lord Baikui of the Central Plains, but it seems that he has not been in office for long.
Is that person named Yu Zai really as great as the young man in front of me says?
Wen Ming has been carrying out water control activities with Tai Ni during this period, running around in various areas. Now the water level of the river is rising crazily, but the Longmen Mountain excavation project has not yet been completed, so he can only stop work for a short time. Tai Ni has seen the water situation and thinks Tribes can be allowed to stay away from the river for safety.
As Yu Zai expected, the flood was coming, but it was a little different, because with the active activities and work of the water control people, many places were dredged, and canals were built for diversion. After the water flow of the river was diverted, The harm has been reduced a lot. Now the Luoshui River has been controlled. Only the Weishui River is still a problem. However, the peach forest has been opened and the Sanmen Gorge has been opened. At least in the Dianzhu Mountain area, there will be no more serious flood disasters.
Thanks to the primitive environment of this era, including some grasslands that are still under the water, and because human activities are not frequent, the Loess Plateau has not yet become Splatoon, and the annual sediment flow is far lower than that of the later feudal dynasty. era.
Of course, after the Yellow River water leaves Mengjin and flows towards the North China Plain, the river will be divided into three. These three rivers will flow through the territory of Dongyi. Whether the embankments will burst and cause disasters is no longer a question for the people of the Central Plains. Things to think about.
"So, where is he from?"
"Where does his wisdom come from?"
“Is anyone born with the guidance of their ancestors?”
The girl spoke teasingly, but Wen Ming glanced at the beautiful little girl and was about to say something, but his eyes suddenly trembled!
Although Wen Ming is not an old woman, and can even be said to be one of the few normal people in the Yuzai team, when he saw Nvjiao, he almost even thought of what to call the child.
It’s a heart-pounding feeling!
But it’s not okay to question Brother Zai!
So Wen Ming took a deep breath, frowned and said:
"How old are you this year? Do you have a partner?"
Nvjiao: "?"
Nvjiao smiled, revealing slightly sharp fangs, with her hands behind her back, and said nothing in an old-fashioned way. Wen Ming snorted twice to make himself serious, and said to Nvjiao:
"Do you know what wisdom is? Wisdom is not the guidance of ancestors, but something summarized by one's own observations. Can someone know everything without learning? Of course not, it can only be said that he has seen a lot, and he has learned The more he learns, the more he will understand.”
"You little girl, how old are you? You don't understand this or that, but you go around questioning those who have great wisdom... I look at your attire, are you from Dongyi?"
Nujiao nodded, and Wen Ming said: "Then you must have seen the sea."
"Of course, I have seen it once. Although it is far away from the tribe, I went there with my father."
Nujiao said this, she had indeed seen it before. That was because the nine tribes of Dongyi were going to unite to start a war with the Central Plains. She saw it when her father took her to the east.
Wen Ming said: "There are fish in sea water, and there are fish in river water. Fish in sea water cannot live in river water. Except for those fish that can migrate, most sea fish are like this. Why is this?"
The girl shook her head, of course she didn't understand this.
"why?"
Wen Ming did not give her an answer, but asked her:
"What are the clouds in the sky made of? Why do they disperse and gather again?"
Nvjiao thought for a moment: "I saw clouds coming out of the pottery pot when cooking rice."
The surroundings burst into laughter, and the girl stuck out her tongue.
Wen Ming: "The water enters the foot of the mountain, but why does it disappear at the foot of some mountains?"
Nujiao frowned: "Hmm...probably Dashan was thirsty and drank the water."
Wen Ming: "The climate of heaven and earth has become warmer, so why is the climate of heaven and earth getting warmer?"
Wen Ming asked a lot of questions at once, and Nvjiao was a little dizzy, and the people around her were talking all over the place. Some people were just talking nonsense, and some were thinking seriously. Nvjiao was confused and responded:
"I heard it was warmer fifty years ago. Of course ten suns would be warmer..."
"Gee, I don't know!"
Wen Ming chuckled: "There are still many things you don't know. If you often observe and summarize, you will know that some strange things and phenomena are actually derived from things you can usually see."
"It's like controlling floods. Everyone says that floods come from the west, from a place with a steady supply of water. So some people say that there is a Tianyu Mountain in the west. The bottom of the mountain is full of water, like a vast ocean. Once there is a big earthquake, , the water surged over from that side, and a flood occurred."
"But it's not true. The river has its own source. Floods occur only because the ice and snow melt and the water volume increases sharply. This comes from those warm winds. The wind melts the ice and snow, bringing heavy rain, and the world becomes warmer. With these winds.”
"The water accumulates and is blocked in the river. When it breaks out, it is naturally very violent. However, when these floods enter the sea, the water level of the sea will not rise, and the flood will come again every certain years. This And why?”
"Brother Zai said that this is one of the natural cycles of heaven and earth. Rain, snow, frost, fog, clouds, oceans, rivers and lakes are all in an endless cycle, in places you can't see..."
Wen Ming pointed to the sky: "The rain and dew in the mountains and rivers transpired and turned into clouds. The clouds came to hot places and turned into heavy rain. The heavy rain drifted to cold areas and turned into ice and snow. The ice and snow turned into water under the sunshine. The water entered the river, and then Entering the sea again, clouds rise again from the sea, and the clouds are blown into the mountains and rivers by the wind, and fall into rain and dew, and the cycle repeats..."
Everyone fell silent after hearing this. They seemed to be shocked by this great change of heaven and earth. Wen Ming suddenly smiled crookedly and said in a pretentious manner:
"True wisdom comes from... No, I'm going to be late!"
Wen Ming suddenly remembered his business, and immediately left in a hurry, leaving only passers-by A and B talking there. Nvjiao looked at the direction Wen Ming left and nodded slightly.
If there is a Chong clan, then this young man is the youngest prince?
Nvjiao heard about the meeting of princes before, and the current regent also boasted about Bai Kui. Many princes came from the corners of the country, and some were even sages who lived in seclusion and did not work before, and were in a state of semi-retirement. , are all pulled out now, and the princes seem to recognize Bai Kui's work achievements.
Speaking of which, it seems that the leader of our tribe has seen him before?
Nujiao remembered something, but Tu Qing, the head of the Tushan clan, was face-blind. He always forgot Yuzai's name and appearance. At that time, Nujiao was only six or seven years old, and she was still playing in the mud. Bar.
Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.
"What an interesting person..."
So Nvjiao also followed, with a smile on her lips.
Some people, like the cycle of wind, frost, rain and dew, quietly break into the heart from invisible places.
When we met for the first time this summer, we planted the seeds that only belong to summer.
