Chapter 121: Treasure
The so-called fate, in numerology, the two words are actually separate.
It has two meanings, one is life, which refers to the fixed number given by nature. The second is luck, which refers to the changes in poverty at all stages of life.
To put it bluntly, fate is what people often call "providence", which cannot be controlled by human beings. But luck is different, it represents the opportunity and hope for subjective change the day after tomorrow.
In practice, people often find that the two words are not so easy to distinguish and can be easily confused.
Because people influence and interact with each other, if we consider people's subjectivity and passivity, the history that has occurred and the general trend of national fortune, it is even more difficult to distinguish what is fate and what is luck.
Therefore, the most accurate summary of the infinite changes in life is actually two other words, that is, "cause and effect". The way it distinguishes is also very simple, just looking at the concept of time.
Everything that happened in the past is always the cause of today, and tomorrow will always be the effect of today.
Plant melons, get melons, plant beans and get beans, all the big and small things in the world are nothing more than that.
On July 18, 1981, the "great man" met with Jin Yong, the founder and president of Hong Kong's "Ming Pao" in the "Fujian Hall" of the Great Hall of the People.
The meeting was not for nothing. In fact, as early as March 1973, when Jin Yong's books were still banned in the mainland, the "great man" had already asked someone to buy a set from abroad.
From then on, he read a few pages every day before going to bed. Not only can I put it down, but I can also think of myself from the fate of the characters in the book.
Jin Yong himself is not only a patriot who resolutely supports the peaceful reunification of the two sides of the strait, but also writes editorials in Ming Pao to fight grievances against the "great man" and strongly criticize the various perverse aspects of the "movement."
Especially after the reform and opening up, the "great man" advocated vigorously promoting economic construction, which was greatly supported by Jin Yong.
He not only openly supported public opinion in Ming Pao. In private, he also sighed many times, saying that the one he wanted to see the most was a "great man". He also said that he has always admired the style of "great men". Only such a strong and unyielding character is a hero.
So a national leader who has suffered a lot of sorrows and ups and downs, and a political commentator who has written editorials for more than 20 years, have been friends with each other for a long time, and with the joint efforts of both sides, they finally met today.
That night, the National China Television Station broadcast the news of the talks between the two in the "News Network", and the news media in Hong Kong, Macao and other parts of the world reported it one after another, causing a sensation.
Since then, it is precisely because of this meeting that Jin Yong's will "lift the ban" in the mainland and meet with our mainland readers.
And once entering the martial arts world depicted by Jin Yong, people are like discovering a huge treasure of spiritual enjoyment, and they are reluctant to leave and deeply indulge in it.
In this era, Jin Yong's martial arts has not only always been a bestseller in Luoyang paper. Its influence has also extended to any place where there are Chinese, completely surpassing all the popular books of the same era.
He uses his characters and fantasy world to illuminate the imagination of many people, and provides a rare spiritual sustenance for the dreams of countless young people.
It is very interesting to say that it was precisely on the day that the "great man" and Jin Yong met. It is less than two kilometers from the Great Hall of the People. Hong Yanwu discovered a larger and more magical material treasure before many future "Jin Yong fans".
Although this incident is a coincidence, it obviously contains the philosophy of fate and fortune, and it is also a clear proof of historical cause and effect.
What the hell is going on?
It's a long story, and it started with just an ordinary outing.
The next day was Sunday. Because it had just rained yesterday, July 18 was a rare good day, with a light breeze, 278 degrees, not very hot.
So on the way home with Shui Xiaoying after work, Hong Yanwu pondered, why don't you just go out to play in the afternoon, I didn't take Hong Jun to swim much this summer, this kid has an opinion.
And just by doing, you can also bring Shui Xiaoying in the west courtyard and Ling'er in the east courtyard. In this way, he said hello to Aunt Shui and Aunt Ding, and Chen Liquan took the children and went to Beihai.
Happy times always pass quickly, don't look at the food and play and rowing for a while, but I don't feel much, the time is five or six o'clock.
In this way, although it is time to go home, the children are not happy enough, and they are reluctant to go back. Especially Shui Xiaoying, sitting on Hong Yanwu's bicycle endlessly, she didn't use it to buy ice cream.
On the way, Hong Yanwu really couldn't get it right, so he could only compromise, so he said, "Why don't we go to the side of the river and play for a while." ”
This really worked, not to mention that Shui Xiaoying became well-behaved at that time, and the other two children also cheered.
Why are the children so happy? Because summer is actually the most fun time for the river, the scenery is no worse than in the park, but there is a lot more wild fun.
There are not only many lotus flowers and lotus canopies in the river, but also dragonflies shuttling among the pink flowers, unknown small water birds will occasionally stop on the green lotus leaf hearts, and a large number of small fish and shrimp will gather in the shade of the lotus leaves to escape the summer heat.
Some fish are big, so they go under the water and want to float up, which is a splash in the water. Vacate the water to a foot high, and then jump into the water again.
Not only can the sound of hitting the water be transmitted far away, but the ripples formed by the waves will also carry the aquatic plants one by one, hitting the brick wall of the embankment of the canal river, and then retreating.
Therefore, this often attracts all kinds of fishing masters to gather on both sides of the tube river to fish, mainly on both sides of the river bank west of the "Shenwu Gate".
Some people lie on the gray low wall of the river, and some sit on the bank along the river, and all kinds of fishing rods throw the hooks into the river, and there is generally a harvest.
Carp, crucian carp, green jade, fathead fish, loach or whatever, as long as you eat the bait dizzily, there is no one who will not be pulled out of the water. The tail is still flicking desperately, but it has become a human hook.
There are also shrimp fishers, and the harvest is even greater. But first do the shrimp nets. Make two circles with thick wire, cover the bottom and all sides with a cloth, and then put on the rope.
When the net is lowered, tie a piece of meat and bone to the bottom of the net, and it is best to burn it on the fire to make it fragrant.
When lifting the net, the movement should be very slow, little by little, a little faster the shrimp will find out, bow up and run away, faster than the fish.
The largest shrimp in the river was as long as a finger, and it was bluffing with two large pincers. If there are three or four nets, dry for half a day, you will be able to catch a dozen or twenty. Take it home and wrap it on it and fry it, it's very fragrant!
It's a pity that the oil was still bought with oil tickets at that time, so the housewives were resolutely opposed to the act of fishing shrimp. Whether it is an adult or a child, they will always say, "Don't go fishing next time!
Hong Yanwu: They don't have tools, so they definitely can't take a few children to fish and catch shrimp. But when he came out, Hong Jun didn't forget to bring his home-made fish copy, and it was still okay to catch a small fish and toad on the shore, or catch some aquatic weeds and pinch a reed.
Of course, you have to pick the ground to do this kind of thing, and you can't do it on a low wall that is too high from the water level, so you have to find a place where you can slide down. Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan pushed their bicycles and took their children along the shore, and they really found a particularly suitable place.
Because the northeast corner of the river is covered with dwellings, there are few pedestrians, and there is no one under the river. And if you look down from above, there is still a river beach at the corner of this place because of the lack of water.
Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan were overjoyed when they saw this, Chen Liquan went down first, and then sent them one by one, and then put the children down one by one by sticking to the wall.
Not to mention, there are a lot of small fish and tadpoles here, so they brought a handful of bone slag and swam all over. The children enjoyed fishing and playing on the small river beach.
Later, because the harvest was so much, Hong Yanwu had to go ashore to buy a canned fruit, take it down for everyone to eat together, and then vacate the bottle so that they could bring back the loot.
But it was very happy and sad, and just when it was time to leave, the children patronized and were happy. Without paying attention, Shui Xiaoying's hat was blown by the wind and fell into the water. The four-year-old girl was grinning and crying.
Originally, at this time, if you use a fish copy to reach it, you can get the hat back in time. But the problem is that although the method is used correctly, the master who holds the copy in his hand is Hong Jun, this kid.
He was reckless and incompetent, and he did the wrong thing. I didn't get the hat back in three or two clicks, but I stabbed it away.
As soon as the hat touched the water in the middle of the river, it was more complete. Piao Piao Dang floated to the side of the canal river wall four or five meters away......
This time, Shui Xiaoying cried even more seriously, and her mouth was aggrieved, saying, "The hat was bought by my mother, and the small flowers on it were also sewn by my mother...... No, no, I want a hat ......".
Yes, with special attributes, Ren Hongyanwu and Chen Liquan can't coax it, saying that they can't buy a new one.
Hong Jun, this kid, also knows shame. Relying on his own water, he took off his clothes and had to go into the water to fish, wanting to make up for his mistakes.
But he didn't know the depths. It's thanks to Chen Liquan who grabbed it. Because it is unusual, it has not been cleared all year round, and the bottom is full of silt and aquatic weeds. Isn't it looking for death to go on so recklessly?
So this doesn't work, that doesn't work, what happens later?
Hey, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan discussed, simply, Hong Yanwu should take off his clothes and go into the water to get his hat.
Chen Liquan had great strength, went ashore with a fish copy in his hand, and then handed the end of the fish copy to Hong Yanwu, and then walked with him to the hat.
Looking at the length of the fish copy, it is about one meter five, and the length of Chen Liquan's arm is probably enough, which can be regarded as insurance.
Just do it, Hong Jun looked at the two girls on the river beach, Hong Yanwu put on shorts and went into the water, and then cooperated with Chen Liquan to slowly slip to the end of the hat.
I didn't expect it to be easier than I imagined, although there was mud in the river, Hong Yanwu felt that there were many large stones in the mud, and stepping on these things was not completely unable to pull out his legs.
But just when everything was going well and he was about to reach the hat, Hong Yanwu suddenly let out an "ouch" and cried out in pain.
At this moment, even Chen Liquan, who was on the gray wall of the children on the river beach, was startled.
"What's going on?" Chen Liquan leaned over to look at Hong Yanwu and shouted.
"Holy shit, there's something down there, it's piercing my foot. ”
"Are you alright? It's not something that bites you, is it?"
"It's okay, it's okay...... I'll throw you the hat first......"
Chen Liquan took his hat, which immediately caused several children on the riverbank to cheer. But when he urged Hong Yanwu to go ashore quickly, he didn't expect Hong Yanwu to have a new idea at this time.
"Quanzi, wait a minute, let me go down and get a handful, I'll see what the hell is going on......"
Without saying anything, Hong Yanwu lowered his head and sank completely.
Chen Liquan couldn't help but be anxious, but it was too late to say anything, and Hong Yanwu's hands were scattered.
And just when Chen Liquan was anxiously staring at the water, fortunately, it didn't take long for Hong Yanwu to come up again. With a "then", an object was thrown at Chen Liquan.
Chen Liquan didn't have time to complain about anything, so he copied the things in his hand first. Then take a closer look...... Silly.
In his hand was a long hairpin, although it was muddy and full of the smell of limescale, but the style was exquisite, and it could not hide its brilliant golden light.
This...... It can't be pure gold, does it? Don't they all say that gold doesn't rust?
Just when Chen Liquan was stunned. Hong Yanwu's attitude has changed again, this time he stopped shouting, and instead spoke in a suppressed voice below.
"Izumiko...... Izumiko...... Do you see if there are people around?"
"No?...... Hey, what a evil thing, something is wrong in the mud, it doesn't seem like I was stepping on a rock......"
"You wait for me a little longer, I'll go down and get something up......"
Half an hour later, Hong Yanwu and his party finally left the Guanzi River.
Shui Xiaoying took her hat back, and Hong Jun and Ding Ling also brought their loot.
As for Hong Yanwu, although he was dirty and shirtless, he didn't care, but rushed home in good spirits.
Because the shirt wrapped in the back seat of his car was a small safe that the children called the "broken iron box". He and Chen Liquan were looking forward to going back and opening it quickly to take a good look at what was inside.
Besides, there are countless things under the river, waiting for him to slowly discover......
