Chapter 46: The Beauty of the Sinking Fish
The village chief also came.
The village chief was over seventy years old, with gray hair and beard, and he was followed by all the men, women and children of the village. When they heard that the general Fan Li had come to their village, they all rushed to see it.
In their hearts, the first person they worship is their king Goujian, and then the one they worship the most is the general Fan Li. Most of them have never seen Fan Li, but Fan Li's loyalty to the king of Yue and his love for the common people, they have heard and felt it. Fan Li's intelligence and wisdom made them even more impressed. There are many stories about Fan Li among them.
And the women have other thoughts, they heard that Fan Li is beautiful, is the most beautiful man in the world, they must come to see how good-looking Dr. Fan is.
The old, the young, the married, the unmarried, even teenage girls, all the women came.
There is a large grain field in front of Shiqiao's gate, and it is full of people. Seeing that everyone was so enthusiastic, Fan Li walked around the crowd and greeted everyone at the same time.
From time to time, there were screams from the crowd as the women lowered their voices. When they saw Fan Li, they were shocked by his beauty.
The ramie village is located deep in the mountains, which has not been damaged by the war, and it is rich in products, and the people live in prosperity, peace and tranquility.
Because they are not polluted by the world, their hearts are simple and kind.
The women stared at Fan Li, and the men asked long and short questions. Fan Li felt the need to say a few words to everyone, so he stood on a high place. He raised his voice and said: "Fathers and fellow villagers, although Ramie Village is deep in the mountains, you should have heard that our Yue Kingdom lost the war, and our king was also taken captive by Wu to be a slave, and our king went to Wu State to bear the suffering of the world alone in order to protect the people from the bloodbath of Wu State. ”
Some people in the crowd sighed, some people sobbed.
Fan Li said: "We are all the people of the Yue Kingdom, the king is suffering for us, how can we repay the king?" I will work hard, gather more grain, weave more cloth, and live my life, which is the best reward for the king. We also need to have more children, more boys and more girls, so that our people can prosper, and let our children love the king and have blood, so that we will not be bullied. ”
A woman said, "My lord, our men have died a lot in the war, and they are not enough, so you can give us children here." ”
The crowd burst out laughing. The girls covered their faces and smiled.
Another woman said, "You give us a baby, and we feed you." ”
The village chief stood beside Fan Li, held a walking stick, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, is Lord Fan Li a joke from you?" Whoever says this bastard again, I'll knock him on the head with a stick! Have you heard what your lords said, work hard, don't be lazy, and ensure that the family has three years of food storage, which is the best reward for our king. Our Ramie Village has to hold a Qingfeng Conference every year in the Mid-Autumn Festival. Today, Lord Fan Li came to Ramie Village, which is a big day for our whole village. Now I announce. This year's Qingfeng Conference was held ahead of schedule, and it was held this evening, and the venue was on this grain field,"
"Oh-oh-"
There was a cheer from everyone.
The Qingfeng Conference is actually a carnival similar to that of later generations. A village is a closed community, and each village has its own customs and festivals.
Qingfeng Conference is the grandest festival of the year in Ramie Village. As soon as the village chief announced, everyone immediately ran to prepare.
The people on the grain field dispersed, and only Xi Shi and Zheng Dan were still with Fan Li. Fan Li will have time to take a closer look at the Shih Tzu girl in front of him. The forehead was full and smooth, the eyebrows were thick and long, the eyes were large and deep, the bridge of the nose was straight, the lips were not thick but full, the complexion was fair and pink, and the lips were cherry red and shiny and moisturized. Smiling, baring teeth, white and neat.
The whole person looks like it can be described in two words: just right! Tall is too tall, short is too short, fat is too fat, thin is too thin, everything is just right!
Later generations once described the beauty of Xi Shi in three words: nothing to say! That means that human language cannot describe the beauty of Shih Tzu. Any flowery rhetoric and vivid descriptions are pale and powerless when applied to Xi Shi.
Zheng Dan, who was standing next to Xi Shi, was as beautiful as Xi Shi, although the beauty and style of the two were very different, but their beauty was the same.
Fan Li felt that the beauty of the two girls was not just in their appearance, but in the original temperament of the unblended old wine, simple, simple and kind.
Fan Li said in his heart: "These two girls are exactly the beauties I am looking for." God bless, these two girls may be the hope of the restoration of the country. ”
And Xi Shi and Zheng Dan, who were standing beside them, had a different feeling in their hearts, they had long heard of the handsomeness of the doctor Fan Li, who was rumored to be the most beautiful man in the world. As a girl, of course, it is the heart that yearns for it. But they are in the depths of the mountains, and I am afraid that they may not even take a look at Dr. Fan Li.
Unexpectedly, this god-like figure in their minds suddenly appeared in their small mountain village, and they could see him up close like this.
Sure enough, Fan Li's beauty, Fan Li's noble temperament, and Fan Li's intelligence and wisdom knocked the two girls down at once. The heart is "pounding", the face is "whirring" out of the fire, and the panting is not smooth. But the eyes were reluctant to leave.
Fan Li is also a young man, he was shocked by the beauty of the two girls, he wanted to keep his composure, he knew that these two girls did not belong to him, he wanted to take them away and dedicate them to King Wu.
But his young body didn't listen to the command. I couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and a desire to hold the girl in my arms welled up in my heart. He tried to suppress this desire. The strong suppression made the body tremble slightly.
"Your name is Shih Tzu?"
"Hmm,"
"Your name is Zheng Dan?"
"Hmm"
"How old are you?"
"Sixteen."
"How old are you?"
"Sixteen."
"Do you know, you're good-looking?"
"I don't know, just listen to what everyone says."
"Then I'll tell you the truth, you're really beautiful."
"Do adults think we look good?"
Fan Li said: "Let me tell you the truth again, I was frightened by you." I've never seen a pretty girl like you. ”
The faces of the two girls were red, like medium-ripe mountain dates. The two girls looked at each other, their faces full of shyness and happiness.
Xi Shi said: "My lord, do you know that you are the best-looking man in the world?" I don't even dare to look at you, I can't breathe when I see you. ”
Fan Li felt a little drunk, and said: "I am a soldier, it doesn't matter if I am beautiful or not, but listening to your praise, I am still very happy in my heart." ”
The two girls laughed under their breath and said shyly, "It's good that adults are happy." ”
Zheng Dan raised his hand and combed a strand of Xi Shi's hair, and Xi Shi said, "Is it a little messy?" ”
Zheng Dan nodded.
Xi Shi pulled Zheng Dan, ran to the water's edge, pulled out the hairpin, opened her hair, used the stream as a mirror, and combed her long thick black hair.
Fan Li paced slowly, the stream water was crystal clear, and the fish in the water saw Xi Shi comb his hair, and quietly sank to the fine sand at the bottom of the river, motionless.
Fan Li sighed and said: "The beauty of Xizi is beautiful and can sink fish!" ”
