Chapter 1: Rescuing a Woman

Next Chapter

The Tang Dynasty, the sixth year of Wude, this is the name of the founding emperor Li Yuan.

Suddenly there is bad news in the world!

"Li Xiuning is dead!"

Who is Li Xiuning?

She is the daughter of Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

She is the younger sister of Li Shimin, the general of Tiance Mansion.

She once swept the six anti-kings by herself.

She single-handedly created the Yan Zhao Lady Army, which can be called the most ferocious in the last years of the entire Sui Dynasty.

This princess, who does not let her eyebrows, has made great achievements for the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

Looking at the whole world, almost half of the places were fought down by her, and if you talk about the entire Guanzhong, the power of the women's army under her command is even more powerful than the Tiance Mansion.

At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the power of this princess accounted for almost half of the Tang Dynasty.

However, now, the princess who should have been immortalized has died.

[Princess Pingyang, the funeral is in the military system, eighteen generals carry the coffin, twenty-four prisons, the real life and death mourning, becoming the first princess in history to have a posthumous gift. 】

The nickname is Zhao.

Her funeral is as grand as an emperor!

But few people know how Princess Pingyang died, whether it is history books or folk history, most of them are just vague speculations.

Few people know that the coffin carried by the eighteen generals on the day of the funeral was actually empty......

The so-called Princess Pingyang in the history books, in fact, no one has seen her corpse at all!

Even the relatives of the Li family's royal family only saw the suicide note she left behind.

And because no one has been found, it is guessed that she is dead.

……

……

Everyone in the village knew that Gu Tianya would make a lot of strange utensils.

Who taught him?

It's Gu Tianya's old lady!

So it should be accurate to say that Gu Tianya and his wife will make a lot of strange utensils.

For example, the cage!

What is a cage?

The cage is a special fishing tool.

It's easy to make, but it's so powerful that even a child of seven or eight years old can use this gadget to catch fish in the river.

However, looking at the four villages and eight towns within a radius of 100 miles, I have never heard of anyone who would make such a tool. This kind of fish catching utenware is obviously very simple, and only Gu Tianya and his mother can make it......

In fact, to put it bluntly, there are not many advanced skills, mainly a small idea that others can't think of!

But it's really hard to make this little idea until no one has seen it.

Before many things in the world were invented, it would be very difficult for people in the world to make them, for the simple reason that they couldn't think of creativity.

……

It's freezing and the north wind is blowing!

Gu Tianya was wrapped in a thick jacket and quickly pulled out a cage from the river, but when he heard the sound of the water, there seemed to be a popping sound.

The old lady stood behind him and tiptoed around, her voice was obviously nervous, and she asked worriedly, "Gu'er, did you catch a fish?" ”

"Caught, quite a few!"

Gu Tianya laughed, picked up the cage and showed it to the old lady, and said comfortingly: "Look, mother, the harvest is very great, the cage is almost half full, there are twenty or thirty catties, not only fish, but also green shrimp ......"

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, held the cage and continued: "Look at these green shrimps, they are only extremely fat, with big pincers and teeth and claws, just like the general in your story, they are simply arrogant, arrogant and ......."

"Very good, very good!" The old lady was full of joy, and said again and again: "If you can catch this cage of fish and shrimp, our mother's and son's rations for three or four days are all right, let's go home, and my mother will go home to cook for you." ”

"Okay mother, but you wait first!"

"Wait? What else are you doing? ”

The old lady was obviously hesitant.

Gu Tianya shook the cage in his hand and said with a smile: "Look inside this cage, the bait has not been eaten, it is better to throw it back into the river, it should be able to catch fish again." ”

Saying that, he lifted the cage again, and said again: "It's rare for our village to kill a pig once, and the child only got half of the pig's intestines for half a day, so this fish food bait is not easy to come by, and it must not be wasted." ”

Speaking of this, he looked at his mother, and said again: "You have always taught children the way to run a family and make the best use of things. Let the boy put the cage back into the river, and maybe he can catch another twenty or thirty catties of fish in the evening......"

"Can you catch it again?" The old lady was obviously pleased, her voice was full of excitement, and she said again and again: "That's good, that's good, my mother can wash the excess fish and shrimp and dry them in the yard to dry them, so that there are three or four more days of rations, and we don't have to worry about being hungry for seven or eight days." ”

Gu Tianya laughed, and said in the old lady's tone: "What my mother said is really reasonable, son, do what you want." Catch the fish one more time and you're guaranteed a catch. ”

In fact, the idea was originally thought of by him, but how can he ask for credit as a son? On the contrary, it is better to follow the tone of the old lady and say that it is right to make the old lady happier.

The so-called filial piety, one is filial piety, the other is shun, so simple, that's it.

……

However, Gu Tianya said that while talking in the tone of his mother's mouth, he poured the fish and shrimp in the cage into the wooden barrel, and then reflexively walked back to the edge of the water, preparing to put the cage back again.

The old lady was standing behind and struggling to carry a wooden bucket full of fish and shrimp, staring at Gu Tianya without turning her eyes, with an expectant look on her face, but there was tension between her eyebrows.

Suddenly whispered, and carefully advised: "Gu'er, you can be careful, don't slip under your feet, don't fall into the water, now in the cold winter season, don't fall into the water and freeze you." ”

Gu Tianya laughed again, turned around to appease, and said respectfully: "I know, don't worry, my son, I will be careful, I will not fall and slip." ”

As he spoke, he lowered the cage into the water.

After thinking about it for a while, he picked up the wooden stick he had brought earlier from the river, picked up the cage and sent it to the deep water, then he exhaled a breath of hot air and slowly walked back to the shore reflexively.

From beginning to end, the old lady kept staring at his feet closely, until Gu Tianya turned around and returned, and her face showed relief.

Next, the mother and son sat on the ground one by one, both looking at the river with longing on their faces, thinking that they could catch twenty or thirty catties of fish again in the evening.

When I think of a happy place, I can't help but laugh with joy.

It's just that the weather is very cold after all, and it's not okay to wait by the river like this, no matter how strong a man is, he will shiver from the cold, so he has to hurry home and build a fire to warm up.

Gu Tianya stood up suddenly, then squatted steadily on the ground with his legs, raised his head and smiled: "Mother, let's go home first, the road is a little far, my son is carrying you!" ”

Unexpectedly, the old lady's face was pulled, as if she was very angry by Gu Tianya, and pretended to be angry: "Mother is not old, what is this journey?" You quickly stand up, and let the mother carry the barrel. ”

Gu Tianya said twice, but he was clearly deaf, he just squatted on the ground and couldn't stand up, looking up and waiting quietly for the old lady to reply.

After such a long time, the old lady finally couldn't control her son's temper, so she had no choice but to glare at Gu Tianya fiercely, leaned down and obediently let her son carry it.

Gu Tianya laughed at this time, proudly like a general who had just won a battle.

He held a barrel of twenty or thirty pounds in one hand, and firmly supported his mother's leg with the other, then took a deep breath and spit out, stood up and took a step back.

The poor have little oil and water in their stomachs, so their physical strength is not good, so even if they are just carrying an old lady who is not too heavy, Gu Tianya still feels a little tired.

However, the north wind whistled like a wolf's howl, and the hearty laughter of a young man resounded on the riverside......

It sounds like a naughty child playing scoundrels with his mother.

……

But said that the mother and son traveled all the way along the river, and the figure was about to become blurred, and along the way, the old lady looked back frequently, and her eyes always couldn't help but look at the big river, looking at the water surface where the cage was placed.

Suddenly, the old lady exclaimed and said, "Gu'er, Gu'er, look, why is the cage crooked... Why is our cage crooked......? ”

Well?

Gu Tianya's footsteps stopped and quickly turned back.

He stood on the riverbank and looked into the distance, and sure enough, he saw that the cage that caught the fish was really crooked.

"What's going on?"

"I'm holding it steady?"

He had some doubts in his heart, and subconsciously wanted to go to the river.

At this time, I suddenly heard another exclamation from the old lady, and said: "People, someone, Gu'er, look, there is a person in the river......"

Gu Tianya was startled, and his eyes quickly scanned the water, but where the water splashed and rolled, a rare bright red color was drifting with the waves.

Sure enough, there was someone!

It's a man dressed in red.

The bright red color in the river is clearly a person wearing a bright red body.

In just an instant, Gu Tianya figured out why the cage used to catch the fish was crooked. It should be that the person in the river was floating and rolling down the water, and the clothes on his body happened to be hanging on his own fishing cage, so the cage would be crooked, but unfortunately it couldn't stop that person.

Tiro and the man rolled down the water.

……

"Gu'er, Gu'er, people, that's a personal ......"

The old lady's voice trembled, obviously nervous and frightened.

Nervous, because nervous, it was a person who fell into the water.

Frightened, and terrified, it was a man who fell overboard.

The old lady has been kind-hearted all her life, where can she see someone falling into the water, so the panic and nervousness in her voice are crying in a blink of an eye.

Gu Tianya didn't think about it, he ran with a bang, before the person reached the river, the wooden barrel had been thrown away, he squatted on the ground with his legs, and said hurriedly: "Mother, you come down first." ”

It's a pity that the old lady was nervous, and her hands were still tightly wrapped around his neck, and at this time she only knew that she was trembling and opened her mouth, and kept trembling and said: "Gu'er, people, that's a personal ......"

Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped, as if he realized that his son was going to jump into the river to save people.

Jumping into the river?

Save?

The old lady's body suddenly stiffened, her hands involuntarily grabbed Gu Tianya, and she shook her head desperately: "No, no, the weather is too cold, the water is too cold, it will freeze, you will freeze." What can I do, how can I do this......"

The old lady sobbed and began to cry.

On one side, someone fell into the water and must be rescued, as kind as her, how can she watch someone drown?

On one side, it was freezing cold, and her son jumped into the river to save people, and her son was as painful as her, how could she let go and watch her son go into the water?

If you don't save it, the man in the river will drown!

If you go to save it, your son may freeze!

The poor old lady is just an ordinary woman, how can she hold up this kind of battle between heaven and man in her heart, and she will only cry anxiously when she is so anxious.

Some people may think that this is an exaggeration, and some people may think it is a joke, but Gu Tianya knows his mother very well, and the old lady is such a soft person.

Very kind!

But be afraid!

……

At this time, the situation is very urgent, and the old lady is crying again......

Gu Tianya couldn't see the old lady crying the most in his life, and he didn't want to directly pull away the old lady's hand around his neck, and comforted loudly: "Mother, don't worry, my son can't freeze!" ”

Without waiting for the old lady to react, he rushed into the river with a pop, and then he realized that he hadn't taken off his coat, but the situation of saving people could not allow him to hesitate anymore......

So, he gritted his teeth fiercely, took a hard breath, and he looked at the flipped red figure in the river, and rushed towards it.

……

When it was cold on the count, Gu Tianya fished up a woman from the river.
