Chapter 1 Once the swimming fish get out of the mud, the shallow water is purified and re-inhabited

The town is built on the mountain, the name of the mountain is clear, and the name of the town is Qingque. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info This mountain is high and the road is dangerous, the trees are mottled and mixed, covering more than ten miles from east to west, looking at it from a distance, but seeing the clouds and mist covering it, not seeing its shape. A person who returned from the upper reaches of the mountain once said: "In the mountains, it is vast and misty, I don't know the direction, it seems that yin and yang are not distinguished, and the universe is not debated." There is no sunny day hanging high, and there is no sound of chickens and dogs. There is no sense of the passage of time, and it is like losing the fame of the world. "However, coming out of the mountains, I suddenly felt that the world was refreshing, and there was no sense of return. People near and far were amazed when they heard this, and many people went into the mountains to investigate, and they all said so. However, Kyushu is so big and there are many kinds of things, and the amazing things don't stop there. In a moment, it will be dull. This originally unknown place attracted people to live, and over time, it gathered into a town and hid in the mountain col. At that time, people said that this mountain was wet all year round, and the scorching sun was not seen, so it was named Qingqi Mountain, and the town in the mountain took the homonym of these two words, which was Qingque Town. Dozens of years have passed in a hurry, and the past is no longer jerky and clever, but has added a little bit of prosperity. Qingque Town is located in the middle of the mountain, the mountains and rocks are abrupt, the roads are remote and difficult, and the contact with the outside world is sparse after all. The naughty boy is not familiar with poetry and books, and after Shaoguang, he has become a reckless man. or go into the mountains to hunt, or go down to the fields and plow. Women weave at home and are self-sufficient.

There is a county town hundreds of miles east of Qingcho Mountain, called Lin County. There is a down-and-out scholar in the county, whose name is Su Qiuzhi, who has set up a grand ambition since childhood, and is willing to follow the way of the sages, not to admire the glory and wealth, not to be greedy for profit and fame, but to give up this body, report to the emperor, and go down to the people. However, with a thought in your heart and a word on your lips, everything can be in the palm of your hand. How many people are there who have done the thing? Su Qiuzhi recited "Poems" at the age of three and read "Books" at the age of five. Words must be Confucius and Mencius, and actions must be "rites" and "easy". At the age of ten, he entered the county school, and the county school surnamed Master saw that he was arrogant, and after taking the school examination, he exclaimed that he was immortal, and said that he would become a pillar of the country in the future. However, it backfired, and since the year of the crown, several major examinations have been named. Often look at the mirror for self-pity, sigh that the face is easy to age, and sigh that the world is unfair, blocking the road of talent. Disheartened, he gave up his fame, bid farewell to Master Zhou, and wanted to travel far away to relieve the boredom in his heart. The master couldn't keep him many times, so he sighed and let him go, but in fact he felt sorry in his heart.

If you don't ask for it, you can sell your property in exchange for ten taels of silver. I only left a few boxes of books, and I couldn't bear to throw them away, so I rented a donkey cart and took it with me. and thought that he had wasted half his life, but he had gained nothing. I couldn't help but feel ashamed of my heart, and I had the name of negative demand, so I changed it to return it. It means to get rid of the Lilu field and return to the beginning. After that, Su returned to the west on a road, stopping when encountering mountains and stopping when encountering water. After wandering like this for several months, I suddenly encountered a mountain, which was a clear mountain. Seeing that the mountain was covered with clouds and mist, like the realm of immortals, he asked the coachman, "What is the boundary here?" What kind of mountain is a mountain? The coachman was a veteran of the north and south, and he had seen a lot of people and customs everywhere, so he said: "This mountain is called Qingqi Mountain, and I have heard that it is quite wonderful, but I have not seen it with my own eyes." I passed by this place a few years ago, and I remember that in the col ahead, there was a town called Qingque Town. It's called a town, but it's actually a village. It is only because of the remote location, the communication is blocked, and the government has no time to take care of it, so it has become a place outside the square and is not subject to the jurisdiction. ”

Su Huanzhi looked at the car, only to see a winding mountain road looming, and in the distance it was hidden in the thick fog, leading to the mountain. So his heart arose, and he urged the coachman to go forward and see the scenery in the mountains. The coachman did as he was told, and the donkey cart creaked, and gradually disappeared into the mountain road. Entering the mountain road, Su Huanzhi lifted the curtain and looked around. The scene in the mountains is very different from when you are outside the mountains. Although there is a fog barrier, but the mountains and rocks are clearly visible, the green trees and grass, the fragrance can be smelled, it is really a good place, although there is a little less life, but it also adds to the wonder. Su also stop and go all the way, and when you encounter a beautiful place, you must get off the car and praise it. The boredom of the past few months has mostly disappeared. Su still felt a feeling, and suddenly felt a depression in his heart and spit out, and made a poem for this sunny mountain, "Xijiang Moon":

Yushu Qionghua makes clothes, and the clouds and light mist are clothes. Chaos opened up golden rays at the beginning, and now it sees the light of day again.

The old dream is gone, and the return is self-hesitating. If you want to share the melancholy with the green mountains, the pitch is vast.

After a long time of independence, he was silent, thinking that although this sunny mountain was hidden in the thick fog, there were admirers for it. And he stands in the world, empty of talent, but has no place to stretch. The heart is splendid and dusty, the pearl is abandoned, and the words inevitably add ambition and difficult reward, and the meaning of not meeting talents, the fun of playing in the heart stops. After a few miles along the climbing mountain road, the re-drive car came to a high ground, and the vision suddenly opened up, a village and town coiled between the mountain passes, but saw:

Mountains and clouds gather in the sea of clouds, and the town is a galaxy. The mountains are surrounded by clouds and the sea of wind and rain are floating in the air, and the stars and rivers of the earth are shining and the moon is faint. The chickens and dogs in Qianmo smell each other, and the children in front of the household are happy. The willow is evergreen, and the pine and cypress are evergreen. The warbler returned to Yantang and fell, and the three emperors and five emperors tasted as guests.

Su Huanzhi came to the town, sent the coachman, and wandered around the town. Under the tree, I saw an old man and six or seven boys, all dressed plainly. Su Hui then talked to the old man, the old man saw that Su Huanzhi was dressed elegantly, and his mouth was extraordinary, so he knew everything, and between the words, Su Huanzhi knew that the people here were simple, everyone was self-sufficient, and there was no intention of going out of the mountain. Six or seven naughty boys looked curiously on the side, leading Su Huanzhi to ask, "Can you read 'poems'?" Of the seven, there were men and women, and only one boy of seven or eight years old boldly stepped forward, shook his head, and asked, "What is 'poetry'?" "The way of returning: "'Poetry' is ......" was speechless, half-ringing, and smiled, and said in his heart: "Returning it, returning it, you are proud of being extraordinary, and you don't even know what you have read for decades." Unconsciously, he left two lines of tears and was silent. The boy was still crying, and looked at the old man at a loss: "Uncle, why is he crying?" The old man beckoned to him, and the boy pounced on him, snuggling up to the side and staring at Su Huanzhi.

After a long time, after Su Huanzhi sorted out his thoughts, he looked at the shy boys and said to the old man: "Old father, the town needs a master." If you don't give up, you are willing to teach the school-age children in the town to learn the way of the sages. When the old man heard this, he was both surprised and delighted, and stood with his staff in his hand, and waved to Su Hui again and again. Guy is located in the mountains, and in the past, he also invited a master from outside the mountain, but there are many inconveniences, and the naughty children in the mountains are active by nature, and it is difficult to discipline. As a result, many people lingered for several months, and after a long time, Qingque Town gave up from then on, and simply became a citizen of the mountains and wilderness, and read the books of those saints. Thinking of this, the old man said: "Sir does not hesitate to condescend, the old man is willing." It's a pity that I, the savages of the mountain villages, are afraid that we will not be able to pay my husband's remuneration. Su Huanzhi smiled happily and said: "There is no need for remuneration, but I ask for a cottage, and it is enough to have coarse tea and light rice every day." When the old man heard this, his face was full of smiles, and he made another gesture and said, "The old man feels the kindness of Mr. Decay." Su Huanzhi hurriedly helped him up. So he went and asked the boy, "What is your name?" The boy replied, "Changsheng, Mu Changsheng." ”

The old man was also quite a man of great strength in the town, and on the second day he found four or five strong men to go up the mountain to collect materials, and at dusk he built a wooden house in a secluded place. The old man wanted to help Su Huanzhi build a residence in the town, but Su Huanzhi liked to be pure in nature, so he settled in a vacant land two miles outside the town. But said that on that day, Mu Changsheng listened to the conversation between the old man and Su Huanzhi under the tree, and returned home after noon, when the sun was in the west, and his heart was unsettled, although he didn't know what the way of the sages was, but he couldn't hide his admiration. Probably yearning for the style of talking and laughing freely. He stepped into the house in three steps and two steps, and shouted, "Mother, mother! Immediately, a woman walked out of the simple main house, dressed in cloth and hairpin, her face could not hide the elegance of the years, and she frowned and scolded: "You kid, where did you go to the wilderness?" While speaking, a girl of twelve or thirteen years old poked her head out of the house and winked at Changsheng, and was found by the woman, glared, stuck out her tongue, retracted into the house, and poked her head out again.

The woman's surname is Chen, nameless, everyone is called Chen, and she is the biological mother of Mu Changsheng. The girl in the house is the elder sister of Changsheng, four years older than him, and her name is Ai Niang. The father of immortality died of a violent illness when Chen was pregnant with immortality, and Chen gave birth to a boy with tears in his sorrow, so he was named Changsheng, wishing him no disasters and no difficulties, and more blessings and longevity. In the past eight years, the Chen family has worked hard to raise a pair of sisters, and the people in the town are all admired, so they have helped in the subtleties. Fortunately, Changsheng has been smart and clever since he was a child, which saved Chen a lot of thoughts, and the people in the town also loved him. Relatively speaking, Mu Ainiang is a girl with a wild personality, who likes to wander around the town the most, but has no interest in the affairs of female celebrities. Chen's common saying: "Changsheng and Ai Niang are the wrong fetus, Changsheng should be a woman, and Ai Niang should be a man." "When Changsheng returned, Chen was teaching Ai Niangnu Hong in the house.

At this time, Mu Changsheng greeted the woman and said, "Mother, mother, a gentleman came to the town today and said that he would teach us to read." When Chen heard this, he said angrily: "You kid, you dare to tell lies." Which gentleman will come to this town now? As he spoke, a hand twisted Mu Changsheng's ear. Mu Changsheng suddenly felt unbearable pain, wailed, and repeated in his mouth: "It's true, it's true." Chen's hand was even stronger, and he said, "Unrepentant! And Mu Ainiang laughed on the side, and said: "Mother, be lighter, Changsheng's ears will fall off." The voice came out of the door and was heard by the old man who had arrived. When Changsheng saw the old man entering, he broke free from the Chen family with all his might, and ran behind the old man to hide, and the Chen family hurriedly saluted and said, "Uncle." The old man waved his hand and said to Chen: "What is the reason to teach him, Changsheng has always been well-behaved, how can he cause trouble?" Chen said: "It's just that this kid can't be blamed for lying, I want to hand them over to study." He said to Chen, "There is a master in the town, and in my opinion, he is quite knowledgeable, so I will let Changsheng go to his place tomorrow to enroll." Chen didn't dare to disobey and agreed. At this time, a little lady with red lips and white teeth came out of the house, and she shouted crisply: "Mother, I want to go too." Chen's eyes widened and he reprimanded, "Don't allow it!" Ai Niang was anxious and pleaded: "Mother, let me go." I will depend on you in everything from now on. "Chan just doesn't allow it. Seeing that Chen did not agree, Ai Niang went to the old man's sleeve robe and shook it gently, begging: "Uncle, you can help me intercede." "The delicate appearance is not at all like the presumptuous appearance of the past. The old man looked at her and shook his head. Ai Niang was angry, her eyes were shining, Chu Chu was pitiful, looked at her mother, and then looked at the old man, so many times, but there was no response, so she simply whimpered and ran back to the room. When Mu Changsheng saw it, he felt sorry in his heart and chased after him. The old man outside the house and the Chen family only said that Ai Niang was stubborn and didn't pay attention to it.

Mu Changsheng chased after him, only to see Mu Ainiang hiding her face and crying on the bed, so he stepped forward and gently pulled the corner of her clothes. Ai Niang was annoyed, stared at her red eyes, and said angrily, "What are you doing here?" Mu Changsheng stepped forward to wipe away the tears for his sister, and said, "Sister, don't cry, my sister wants to learn, and I'll teach you when I come back every day." Mu Ainiang listened to her younger brother's childish words, and couldn't help but smile happily: "Changsheng, Changsheng, really a good brother of my sister." After speaking, he hugged Mu Changsheng tightly, and then laughed stupidly. Chen and the old man heard this laughter clearly outside the house, and couldn't help but look at each other and laugh, only sighing that the little daughter was really moody, but they didn't know the real situation in the house.
