Volume 8 Thunder in the Daytime Chapter 72 The Drunkard
Lao Yang didn't care when he heard it, and said hehe: "One side of the water, soil and one person, our Imuran bitter cold land, it's good to be able to guarantee rations after a year of hard work." On the contrary, it is your blue sea and vast sky, God-given land, and worry-free food and clothing, so that you can pick and choose here. If we change the country to live, I'm afraid you won't be able to survive for a month. ”
Zhu Zhitong was refuted by him like this, and was speechless for a while, and hurriedly pushed Su Xiaochen beside him, and said, "I forgot that our blue sea is an ally!" You don't tell me about him yet. ”
Su Xiaochen was urged by her, and his face was difficult to look at in the middle. I had no choice but to speak: "Brother Yang has also said it, how can he not survive for a month?" I have heard that the city of Shakoye, the capital of Imuran, is hidden under the desert, with hot springs and warm springs, and the seasons are like spring. Even a delicate flower like the Ember Silk Flower is alive and well, how can we not be able to? ”
This refuted both Yang Huairen and Imulan, which was just right.
Yang Huairen squinted his eyes and looked at Su Xiaochen for a long time, and asked, "These are all taught to you by that Master Muyun?" ”
Su Xiaochen was stunned, and he didn't know why he suddenly mentioned Uncle You, but these things about Imulan were indeed taught by Uncle You, so he nodded.
In order to know oneself and the other, Cangwu has installed a lot of detailed works in Imuran since the former Taishi Mu Yunduo, secretly probing all kinds of Imuran news and reporting it regularly. After Mu Yunyou took over as the Grand Master, he was still secretly spying. Because Mu Yunyou really has great expectations for Su Xiaochen, when he teaches and solves doubts, he will also reveal some information about Imulan from time to time.
Yang Huairen picked up the wine glass and raised his glass to Su Xiaochen very solemnly and said, "This cup, I should respect Master Yun." ”
Although Su Xiaochen didn't know what was going on, seeing that he had a straight face and was a teacher who respected him, he had to drink it all in one gulp, but it was strange in his heart. Zhu Zhitong couldn't help but ask: "You haven't seen Master Muyun again, this glass of wine is so good." ”
Yang Huairen raised his eyes and replied casually: "I have to thank him, he has taught such a well-informed and good student, and he can sit here and talk with us today, how can I say that there is no reason?" The face returned to the usual lazy look.
He picked up the wine jug and shook it, poured himself a glass and said: "Master Muyun is the best in the world, and he is a character, but it's a pity that ......"
"What's the pity?" Su Xiaochen stared at him and asked. In his heart, the teacher is a perfect person without blemish, and every word he says is a teaching, and there can be no mistakes. Now when I heard Yang Huairen say this, I couldn't hold it back immediately.
"It's a pity...... I lost my life with too much affection. ”
Zhu Zhitong didn't know what to do, tilted her head and thought about it and said, "You mean...... Master Mu Yun died because his aunt returned to Bihai and became ill? ”
Su Xiaochen turned his head to Zhu Zhitong and said, "Uncle You is not in good health!" There was some unhappiness in his tone.
Zhu Zhijie saw that Su Xiaochen's face was different, and she was also busy complaining: "Sister, my uncle and aunt are both elders, how can I speak so openly." ”
Zhu Zhitong was buried by the two of them for a few words, she was very aggrieved in her heart, and she was not easy to attack, so she muttered in a low voice: "Anyway, when it comes to you, Uncle You, you are like a different person, this is the second time......
Su Xiaochen knew that she was talking about the last time she flipped through "Yun Ce", and suddenly apologized again.
Yang Huairen laughed and said, "You children, you know what love is and what is missing. In fact, it's good if you don't understand, but when you really understand, I'm afraid it's going to hurt. ”
Zhu Zhitong was unconvinced and said: "Old Yang, you are only a few years older, so you sell your old like this." You're still alone, and you say we don't understand. ”
Yang Huairen smiled at Zhu Zhitong and nodded: "Okay, okay, I don't understand, but someone understands." Well, it's not fun to just drink, so I'll tell you a story and listen to it. ”
When the three of them heard him tell a story, they forgot about it for a while, and put down their chopsticks to listen carefully.
"Once upon a time, there were two villages, one called Baishui Village and the other called Shawan Village, which were feuds. Both villages have water in their names, but both are also short of water. The feud was also forged over the water source between the two villages. One year, the two villages fought again over water sources. This time, the people of Shawan Village not only killed many villagers in Baishui Village, but also killed the village chief. The village chief, who was killed, had two sons, both of whom vowed to avenge their father, but they were still young and the village was full of wounded, so they were unable to resist, so they had to swallow their anger. The elder brother said to his younger brother, 'Who is the son of man without avenging this?' It's just that for now, I can only endure and think in the long run. ’”
The three of them were unconsciously engrossed, and listened to Yang Huairen continue:
So the two brothers discussed a plan, and the elder brother stayed in the village to inherit his father's ambition to become the village head, and took the villagers of Baishui Village to raise Taoguang. The younger brother pretended to be a beggar for food and sneaked into Shawan Village to look for opportunities. When the younger brother arrived in Shawan Village, he first herded cattle and carried soil for others, and then built houses and moved tiles for others, and there was always no meal. Later, he met a large family who was willing to keep him as a long-term worker and do some work of planting and cutting rice, so he settled down. This family is prosperous, there are many people in the clan, accounting for a small half of the village, and the village chief is in-law, and the daughter is married to the son of the village chief, which is very peaceful. Because of the wealth of the family, there are more than a dozen servants and maids in the family, among which there is a maid named Xiao Yun, who is a few years younger than this younger brother. The two of them are diligent and diligent every day, and they can meet from time to time in the courtyard. After a long time, my younger brother was ignorant and secretly fell in love. ”
Zhu Zhijie's ears were a little hot when she heard it, and she felt that this emotional thing was really silent, just like she was to Li Chongyan, I really don't know from what moment I had him in my heart, and I couldn't look at others anymore.
Yang Huairen took a sip of wine and continued: "Xiao Yun still doesn't know his brother's intentions, he only thinks that he is very loyal and honest, and often sews and washes for him, and often chats and laughs with his younger brother on weekdays. One day, when she talked about the days to come, her brother asked her what she wanted. She said, 'My family is poor and miserable, so my parents sold me here to be a maid.' Originally, the family lived in a mud house in a depression, which leaked when it rained. I don't want to do anything in the future, I will save money for a lifetime, I heard that the land in the north of the village is the best, if I can buy a piece of land at the foot of the mountain in the north of the village in the future, and build a brick house to live in, I will be satisfied. When the younger brother heard this, he secretly resolved in his heart that he wanted to earn money to buy land and build a house for her in the future, and then propose marriage to her. ”
Zhu Zhitong nodded again and again when she heard this, and said appreciatively: "Very ambitious." ”
Yang Huairen ignored her, changed his words, and said: "But my younger brother has not forgotten his father's revenge for a day, and he has been peeking at everything in the village all these years. Until one day, he happened to go to the maid's residence to find Xiao Yun, and secretly saw the daughter of this family, that is, the daughter-in-law of the village chief, who entered the house with the village chief to fornicate with them, and it was Xiao Yun who took care of them outside. Xiao Yun saw her brother peeping at the adultery, begged him to keep quiet, and said that every time she did this, she could get the village chief to give her some money to seal her mouth. In a few years, she will be able to buy land. ”
The three of them were dumbfounded, they had taught all kinds of etiquette and honesty since they were children, where had they heard these wild stories. Yang Huairen spoke explicitly, and the three of them blushed when they heard it, their minds were already in chaos, but their ears were erected tightly, lest they miss a word.
Yang Huairen continued: "The younger brother knows that if this matter is turned to the surface, the village chief and the two major families of this big family will definitely have infighting, which is really a rare good opportunity. So he pretended to tell Xiao Yun that he wouldn't be quiet, and asked about the time when the two had an affair on weekdays. That night, he sneaked back to Baishui Village and told his brother everything. After the two made a plan, the younger brother sneaked back to Shawan Village and secretly threw a note to the village chief's son, telling him that his wife had an affair with someone in the village, and when and where to catch the adulterer. As a result, when the village chief came again, the village chief's son really entangled a group of villagers and rushed to the door of the house, breaking the adultererous relationship, but when he kicked the door open, it was too late to find that the adulterer was his father. In front of everyone's eyes, the son of the village chief felt ashamed and humiliated, and for a while he was angry with his wife's family, and first hacked Xiao Yun to death, and then chased after his wife. The wife's family is also a big family, so naturally they don't allow it, so the two families fought and fought together, and almost half of the villagers were swept into it that night. When both were defeated and exhausted, the elder brother of Baishui Village had already led a group of villagers, all wrapped in white scarves, and rushed into the village with machetes and hammers. ”
Su Xiaochen's scalp tingled when he heard this, and secretly thought that just two villages could set off such a bloody storm, and those battlefield battles and conspiracies that Uncle You talked about lightly in the past were really in front of him, I really don't know how cruel they were.
Yang Huairen glanced at the three of them, and said without changing his face: "After the long night, corpses are everywhere, and Shawan Village has become the bag of Baishui Village. The elder brother drove all the remaining villagers out, moved half of the villagers of Baishui Village, occupied all the good water and fertile land, and made the younger brother the village chief of Shawan Village. The elder brother knew that it was thanks to his younger brother that he had endured humiliation for many years that he had the opportunity to avenge this blood vengeance, so he told him that whatever he wanted in this village, he could take it himself. The younger brother pointed to Xiao Yun's corpse on the ground and said, "Everyone in the village should be killed, but she shouldn't, she just gave her life for the sake of her master's loyalty." So I wanted a piece of land in the north of the village, buried her, and erected a monument. ’”
When Zhu Zhitong heard this, she took a sip and said, "Posture!" If he hadn't gone to tell Xiao Yun regardless of whether she was alive or dead, how could it be like this. People come to be buried when they die, so why bother in the first place? ”
Zhu Zhijie was not as angry as her sister, and asked, "What about later?" ”
The elder brother naturally agreed, and the younger brother buried Xiao Yun on the ground she wanted before her death, and erected a monument to write that she was a loyal servant of the Lord. In fact, he knew that she was just for that bit of silver, not a loyal servant, but all he could do was to buy the land behind her and put on a good reputation. As for his liking for Xiao Yun, he never mentioned half a word to his brother. Yang Huairen let out a sigh of relief, picked up the wine glass and said, "Okay, the story is over, do you think love is still a good thing now?" Come on, keep drinking. ”
Su Xiaochen picked up the wine glass and touched it, but he couldn't drink it.
Yang Huairen's story, if it had been put in the past, he would have been the same as Zhu Zhitong, angry at this younger brother's lack of affection. But in the past year or so, he has felt more and more that things in the world can be so simple and black and white. As Uncle You said, 'There is no right or wrong in everything.' When people have obsessions, they have right and wrong. For example, what is right for you may be wrong for others'. This younger brother's affection for Xiaoyun is also because he can't live up to his brother's trust and is obsessed with killing his father's hatred. There will be such a dilemma between love and righteousness, and it is difficult to determine right and wrong.
He asked hesitantly: "Brother Yang, do you want to say in this story that the love between men and women is not hindered, but all kinds of inextricable threads are entangled in one place, and many rights and wrongs are born?" ”
"Wrong!"
Yang Huairen stared at Su Xiaochen and replied categorically: "What I want to say is that when a husband walks in the world, he should stand up to the sky, and he must not be entangled in petty love, he must first know the burden on his shoulders, this is a man!" If you sacrifice your foundation for love, you will die, and it is not a pity. ”
Zhu Zhitong said with a disdainful face: "What kind of little love, if you have the ability, you men don't have three wives and four concubines." Da Su, don't listen to his drunken words. ”
Su Xiaochen silently put down his wine glass, he didn't know what Yang Huairen was referring to, but he knew that there must be something. What Yang Huairen said seems to have the same meaning as what Uncle You said, it can't be black and white, but it seems to be completely different, and it is necessary to keep black and abandon white. If he is the younger brother, what should he do?
Yang Huairen stretched his waist and stood up, muttering in his mouth: "I have drunk the wine and eaten the dishes, thank you for the hospitality." This wine is so delicious, can you give me a jug. ”
Zhu Zhijie liked his straightforwardness very much, pointed to the red sandalwood platform on the side, and said, "Yes, there are still a few pots of unopened ones, you can take them back." ”
Yang Huairen looked at it, three or four wine jugs were lined up on the stage, the body of the pot was exquisite, and it was carved with the seven-pointed orchid pattern used by the royal family, so he picked up one of them, made a salute, and said with a smile: "I won't take it for nothing, I will send a pot of praying mantis thorns over when I turn around." Then he leaned down and whispered to Zhu Zhijie: "If the princess wants to do something that needs to be strong, the wine is the most suitable." After saying that, he nodded slightly to the other two and went straight away.
