Chapter 006: Learn While Eating
The smell of pine nuts permeates the forest. The sound of two people eating and discussing knowledge at the same time attracted the fierce beasts in the forest. But in the light of a roaring bonfire, they only dared to face their supper whispering in the distant darkness, and their eyes shone in the wild darkness.
Later, a pragmatist picture of the hundred beasts listening to the Tao was depicted countless times by later generations, and became the most colorful stroke in the history of Chinese culture, and Lao Tzu's metaphysics of the bull riding sermon, Confucius has taught without class, collectively known as the Three Holy Lines, which constitutes the foundation of Chinese thought.
Confucius's education has improved the education level of the Chinese people, Lao Tzu's metaphysical avenue has allowed the Chinese people to let their thoughts fly, and Zhao Zi's pragmatism has not only made the progress of the society, but also formed a perfect cultural foundation.
Of course, the reason why the Hundred Beasts Listening Diagram in front became the first of the three Diagram was related to the result of Zhao Xing's vigorous hype.
A modern person who has been bombarded with information to fool an ancient person who is infinitely lacking in knowledge and insight, is it not accurate to fool him? A simple, small knowledge of the truth made Zhao Yong surprise Zhao Xing as a heavenly sage. Even Zhao Xing said that pine nuts are the most delicious when they are half-cooked and half-cooked, which makes Zhao Yong automatically make up his brain: "Teacher, the Great Road." โ
Zhao Xing was helpless, the avenue of fart, pine nuts are highly nutritious, this pure wild pine nuts are delicious, but you can't eat more, eating more will also hurt your stomach. But he must continue to pretend, so he looked up at the sky incomprehensibly: "Enough is enough, not only in eating while talking, but also in this way." It's too much. โ
Zhao Yong threw himself on the ground.
After half full, Zhao Xing began to look for a place to stay. Wolves, tigers and leopards look around, and a safe place to spend the night is extremely important.
Fortunately, God favored, Zhao Xing found a cave not far away.
Zhao Xing first lit a bundle of dry firewood and threw it into the hole, and then the two of them immediately clenched their swords back to back and were on guard. After a burst of fireworks, several small beasts of unknown animals ran out of the cave, and a group of bats flew out. After waiting for a while, seeing that there was no longer anything alive flying out, Zhao Xingcai held a torch and pulled Zhao Yong, who was beginning to get sleepy, to enter carefully.
The hole is not big, but it is enough for two people to lie down, and they can step over the bundle of burned dry wood, and they also accidentally see the body of a small beast that was burned to death because of injuries or other reasons, which is considered an unexpected bonus, tomorrow, the two of them will not be bothered by food.
To gather dry wood at the nearest place, a bonfire must be lit at the entrance of the cave, otherwise the beast will rush in and eat the two men.
Of course, Zhao Yong doesn't have to do this matter, because his clothes are really not suitable for this.
After working for a long time and letting Zhao Yong sleep in safety, Zhao Xing leaned at the entrance of the cave and watched the bonfire not let him go out, and at the same time, put the sword horizontally on his lap, and after making a double insurance, he fell asleep nervously.
When Zhao Xing was awakened by the crisp birdsong in the early morning, he was surprised to find that he had not slept in a dream on the first night of the Warring States Period, and Zhao Xing was surprised by his heart.
Looking at Zhao Yong inside, still sleeping sweetly, Zhao Xing was relieved. A child can still sleep so soundly in such a dangerous and uncertain environment, which is enough to show that this child is a real heartless guy. I was not frightened by the mental blow because of the sudden change in the environment, or the tragic battle yesterday. It's good, it's going to give him a quick time to get back to energy. After all, there is still a long way to go, and if he is mentally depressed, it will be a burden to himself. I want to achieve great things through him, not to find a burden.
Walking out of the cave, a group of little guys like weasels, standing, yes, standing not far from the hole, holding the two small front grasps in their mouths, looking at Zhao Xing, the monster, timidly but full of hostility, their eyes are full of hostility, because it is this strange beast that occupies their nest.
In the face of such a little guy, Zhao Xing felt very sorry, but after sincerely apologizing, he would never move his nest.
The reason why it is so cruel is because Zhao Xing finally understands that Handan is in the south, but where is it in the south, after he talked to Zhao Yong well, he knew that this is Dai County, and Handan is four hundred miles away from Dai County.
Four hundred miles, in the afterlife, is a place that can be reached in the blink of an eye, and you can go in the morning and come back at noon for lunch. But in this era, that's the end of the earth. According to a person's normal walking speed, thirty miles a day, then it is half a month, but according to the speed of a person who has no road and walks directly through the forest, twenty miles a day, that is twenty days. And according to an adult with a child, while looking for food, while overcoming obstacles, that is at least two months.
Looking at the rising on the forest, revealing the rare position of the sun, he stretched out his arms and carefully adjusted the chaotic brain path, carefully adjusted the east, west, north and south directions, carefully calculated the distance and time, and finally made a wise choice, if you want to go far, you must be well prepared. In the end, he decided to use this cave as a base to stop and prepare supplies for the long journey before hitting the road.
"Teacher, the way you taught me yesterdayโ" Zhao Yong's voice came from behind him.
Looking back, his spirit was vigorous, he insisted on the gift of his disciples, and respectfully asked Zhao Xing for advice. Well, from the change of title, Zhao Xing knew that this little guy was a studious person, and he already respected himself as a teacher.
Waving his hand: "The question of philosophy, that is, the question of the Tao, is no longer a necessary and urgent question for us, but the question of survival that we should discuss most now." โ
This is a new topic proposed by the instructor and needs to be treated with caution.
"Are you now separated from the north, south, and west?" This is the subject of the mentor.
Tutors are lazy, they just throw an inexplicable question to the students with them, and then pick their noses and eyes at the results of the research results of the inexplicable and wonderful questions he has worked so hard to complete.
Zhao Yong looked at his head, and then silently calculated: "I can tell it clearly, on our left-hand side, it is the east." โ
"So, do you know how far the northernmost city of Zhao Kingdom is from us?"
"Master, the disciple knows that in our south, Daijun, that is, in our right and left hands, the direction we are facing."
It's good, at least the general direction is known.
What made Zhao Xing happy was that Zhao Yong's vocabulary began to become rich under his own influence.
Chatting with someone with boring vocabulary is actually a very painful thing, one word represents multiple meanings, and it is very troublesome and distressing to make yourself guess all the time. I haven't changed history now, but I have changed a person's vocabulary first, which can be regarded as an achievement.
"From now on, we need to rest here and prepare supplies for the southbound journey, and then we can set off again." Then again the old-fashioned teaching: "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and without adequate preparation, there is no perfect ending." Success is always for the most prepared. โ
"Respect the teachings of the teacher." Zhao Yong was shocked by Zhao Xing's esoteric theory again, and said the above words, which means that what you said is very reasonable, I have no problem, everything is up to you.
An obedient student is a good student, and a student who is always rebellious, that will make the teacher have a heart attack.
