Volume 1 The Wolf Smoke of the World Chapter 84 The World
On this day, Xue Taisui came to Guliang County on the edge of the pickaxe capital, and wanted to take shelter from the wind and snow in the broken temple, but this place made Huazi overcrowded, and saw that he was disabled, so they were excluded, and finally they could only rely on a pair of stone lions at the gate to survive.
The wind and snow grew stronger, and gradually wrapped his whole body in silver.
Xue Taisui couldn't help but feel calm in his heart, just struggling, he couldn't even get a brazier since he struggled for a lifetime, what is the meaning of this life, dying like this is also a place to go, why should he be looked down upon everywhere.
He was cranky, and for a moment he fainted.
"Hey, wake up."
A burst of hot porridge poured into his mouth, Xue Taisui's internal organs were somewhat relieved, and he barely opened his eyes to look at the sunlight reflected by the snow, and the hot spur shook his eyes fiercely.
In front of me is a plum truck with a fruit cart next to it.
At this time, the merchant was feeding himself with white rice porridge.
Xue Taisui eased his mind, looked up and saw that the merchant didn't know him, but he saw that he had big ears, and his figure was not low, but he was still young, and he was eighteen or nineteen years old, with a pair of smiling eyes, which made people like it.
Xue Taisui didn't want to accept favors from others in vain, so he shouted: "You let us die, why bother." ”
The merchant stood up and shook his head: "Brother Tai's words are different, the so-called brothers in the four seas are also brothers, and ants are still greedy for life, let alone people?" ”
Xue Taisui was impatient with his sour breath, and got up to leave, but the chains on his body were entangled, and one foot was weak, and he actually fell into the snow again.
The merchant didn't help him, but pushed the cart down the wall of a family's house by himself, and leaned against the wall to look at the books in his hand.
Xue Taisui struggled to get up, and secretly shouted that he was a nerd, just reading books like this, completely ignoring business, when will this cart of plums be sold.
Just as she was wondering, an old lady walked by the merchant with a basket in her hand, looked at the plums twice, and walked on her own.
The merchant's big ears shook up and down twice, and hurriedly stopped the old lady: "This old woman, the daughter-in-law is pregnant and waiting to give birth, and she wants to eat some acid?" ”
The old lady stopped, and said suspiciously: "Your little brother is strange, my daughter-in-law is waiting to give birth, how do you know?" ”
The merchant did not answer, but diverted the topic: "The Compendium of Materia Medica has cloud plums that are sour and refreshing, boiled juice, quenching thirst, treating red and white diarrhea and red white discharge; Rinse with decoction water to treat toothache.
You bring a few catties to your daughter-in-law, and I will send another half catty to ensure that your daughter-in-law is happy. ”
After that, she filled three catties with a straw bag, and the old lady couldn't close her mouth with a smile, and she actually bought them all at once.
After a while, another middle-aged woman came, hurrying by, passing between Xue Taisui and the merchant.
The merchant suddenly shrugged a pair of big ears, and hurriedly pulled the woman back: "This eldest sister, dare to ask, but your face is itchy?" ”
The woman was amazed and stopped.
Xue Taisui saw that the woman's face was extremely black, and she also had acne, she was really an ugly girl without salt.
The merchant stopped the woman and said, "Pu Ji Fang said that plums are nutritious, nourish the liver, clear heat, stir with many flowers and plants to form juice, and apply them three times day and night, I guarantee that the eldest sister's face is as white as jade." ”
It was for this reason that the woman was looking for a doctor, but she was afraid that her husband at home would not like it, and when she heard what the merchant said, she bought two catties of the letter and hurried home.
In one day, every time the merchant meets a guest, he can always put out what he thinks in his heart, and before noon, he sells a cart of plums, leaving only some sour people, dispensable.
Xue Taisui was surprised, and secretly said that this person has supernatural powers, and can guess what others think at will, which is really incredible.
The merchant sold the plums, took out a bag of copper coins, and shook it at Xue Taisui: "Big brother, the meeting in Pingshui is fate, I invite you to eat a bowl of mutton soup to warm up your body." ”
The merchant left the plum cart and handed it over to Xue Taisui to take care of, and went to buy mutton soup alone, and after a while, a large bucket of steaming mutton soup was placed in front of Xue Taisui.
Xue Taisui rolled his eyelids and shouted to the merchant: "Your ears are the heavenly ears of the Buddhists?" ”
The merchant was taken aback and covered his ears: "Don't say, don't say, how do you know?" ”
Xue Taisui secretly shouted yes, there are so many strange people and strange things in the world, do you only allow me to have adventures, and don't allow others to be talented? It's ridiculous.
But he ignored the merchant and ate the mutton soup in a big gulp, but his hands and feet were weak, and he couldn't drink a bowl of soup, and most of it was sprinkled on his body.
The merchant didn't dislike it, sat on the ground, slowly held the bowl, and handed it to Xue Taisui: "This brother Ren, in Liu Zhijie, Xiayuzhou, dare to ask Brother Ren's name?" ”
Xue Taisui glared: "Don't you have a heavenly ear?" Can't hear us yet? ”
Liu Zhijie smiled bitterly: "Don't hide it from Brother Ren, but my ability is not something that anyone's heart can hear, Your Excellency is deep in thought, every move is a golden iron horse, the sound of killing, but my ears are not working." ”
Xue Taisui smiled: "Let's call Xue Taisui, Brother Liu met in Pingshui, and actually saved me with a bowl of porridge, we won't die, we will keep a life, and repay Brother Liu's great kindness in the future." ”
"Brother Xue, please!" The two young men sat down in the snow and gulped down the steaming mutton soup.
Xue Taisui asked: "Since Brother Liu has this ability, why don't you find a character in the officialdom, and understand his heart, are you afraid that there will be no future?" Why bother selling these plums. ”
Liu Zhijie sighed: "Where did Brother Xue come from, now that Dayu Kyushu is falling apart, the people in the world are in misery, corrupt officials and evil parties are stealing high positions, and the princes of the frontier are supporting their own troops."
Although Liu Zhijie is a small scholar, he only sighs the suffering of the people, where can he still search for the people's fat and ointment for the gluttonous. ”
Xue Taisui didn't expect that he, a poor scholar who sold plums, would have great ambitions for the world, so he couldn't help but smile and ask: "Dare to ask Brother Liu how to calm down today?" ”
Liu Zhijie was just about to vomit his chest before learning, but he saw an old man pushing a wine cart passing by, his big ears shrugged, and he hurriedly stepped forward: "Uncle, there is a bucket of good mutton soup here, I will divide half a bucket of father-in-law, can you give me some wine on credit?" ”
The old man smiled: "It's all residual wine in the guest room, it's not good, the little brother wants to take it, but I only need three bowls of this mutton soup to send to my son who repaired the city wall." ”
Liu Zhijie came back with two jars of inferior wine: "Brother Xue, you and I have a snow diet is also a great pleasure in life, how can we talk about the world without wine?" ”
The two of them drank in the snow, and it was really spicy in their throats, and then they served a bowl of mutton soup, and their stomachs really warmed up.
Liu Zhijie touched his mouth and said: "In Liu's view, the chaos in the world lies in the chaos of people's hearts, and the people's hearts are not cured, how can people in the world be willing to act according to the rules?"
As Brother Xue just said, Liu went to Beijing to study poetry and books for a few years, and when the Son of Heaven ordered him, he would definitely take the imperial examination and spread the righteousness of the people's hearts. ”
After that, he dried up a bowl of spirits.
Xue Taisui drank the mutton soup, shook his head with a wry smile: "Brother Liu is angry with the scholarly business, today is a troubled time, and the troubled times can be overturned but cannot be ruled peacefully, what is the people's heart?" The word fame and fortune are also, fame and fortune are not removed, how can the world be secured?
When this storm meets, it is the place where heroes take advantage of the momentum, if the world does not need to re-enact, how can it be reassuring? I'm afraid it's just a matter of asking for fish. ”
After speaking, he also dried a big bowl, but his hands and feet were sore, and he didn't drink much in his mouth, and most of them were scattered in his neck.
Liu Zhijie drank a little: "Brother Xue's words are wrong, if everyone chases fame and fortune, isn't it no different from beasts?" If the right path is not good, how can the people of the world be safe? Don't just seek a corner, and forget the whole situation, drinking water to quench thirst, isn't it thirst on thirst? Brother Xue was too preoccupied. ”
Xue Taisui shook his head: "The world is declining, people's hearts are not ancient, blindly pursuing the sages in the book is the way to take trouble, don't you hear that the sage book is not sustainable, only the future of the world is sustainable, the world is in turmoil, and only power and scheming can be determined?" ”
Liu Zhijie was secretly shocked, this person is really eloquent and domineering, but he has a unique opinion, it seems that it is not for the prosperity of the Yu Heavenly Dynasty, is it not Wang Mang, Dong Zhuo and others? How can he be left alone in the world?
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Xue Taisui sighed: "You and I are talking about saving the country and saving the people, I am a crippled person, you are a Li merchant, you can't take care of your own food and clothing, and you have to rely on the old man's charity to drink in the snow, talk about any major events in the world, come and come, and conspire to get drunk is serious." ”
Liu Zhijie thought about it, so the two drank frequently, and the so-called wine was even more sorrowful, and the two of them had their own hearts, and they were drunk in the snow.
At dawn the next day, Xue Taisui woke up, Liu Zhijie had long since disappeared, and two words "world" were written on the snow.
Xue Taisui laughed for a while, and then looked around at no one, knowing that Liu Zhijie wanted to be self-reliant and self-reliant, and not rely on others.
Xue Taisui tightened, secretly thinking that we should see if your hearts can save the world, or our power can determine the world.
With the goal in mind, Xue Taisui staggered to his feet, kicked open the rice bucket of mutton soup, and strode towards the center of the county.
On that day, the heavy snow fell, and the word "world" was covered in a moment, and the world was white and boundless, and a pair of stone lions were also covered in silver, so the white earth was really clean!
