Chapter 3: The Force of Nature
γGiving roses to people has a lingering fragranceγ
Some of the decisions made by parents when their children are young often have a huge impact on their children's lives, there is an influence called teaching by word and deed, there is an influence called subtle, there is an influence called hearing and seeing, in the period when the child is younger, parents are the gods in their minds, and the image of parents seems to be always so tall, making people feel unreachable and unsurpassed. Therefore, with children's curiosity about the world, they will try to explore and find their own answers, so they will imitate the words and deeds of the people around them, and imitate the virtues and ethics of the people around them, in order to explore the truth and understand the world that is so foreign to them.
In order to seek a way out, Liu's mother meditated hard, and finally decided to start a business of weaving mats and shoes, it is difficult to start, it is difficult to weave, it is difficult to buy and sell, and it is even more difficult to work alone, in the face of his mother's hard work for this family, in the face of his mother's hard work for this family, in the face of his mother's hard work, Liu Bei is young, but he sees all these things of his mother in his eyes, sometimes he will try to help his mother pick up straw, sometimes he will try to help his mother sort out the woven straw sandals, just like that, day after day, Year after year, Liu Bei has long developed a habit of doing housework for his mother, and his mother's hardships have made Liu Bei realize that life is not easy when he was young, indeed, life is indeed not easy, even difficult.
On this day, Liu Bei, as usual, after helping his mother weave straw sandals at home, took his big yellow dog and his general to his second uncle's house to prepare to fight crickets with Liu Deran.
After a hard work, or after a long time of reading and studying, if you find a time to relax and entertain, this will better release yourself, because a full life will make people feel that their relaxation is only here to recuperate, in order to go further in the future, and will not make people feel that they are just doing nothing, and their hearts are full of emptiness. For a child like Liu Bei, it is even more so, it is much better to spend time to help his mother with housework and be praised by his mother in person afterwards, it is much better than wandering around all day long and being reprimanded by his mother when he comes home.
At this time, Liu Bei happily ran out of the house, but just after going out a short distance, he heard Rhubarb barking loudly in the field, Liu Bei felt strange, so he looked carefully into the field, only to see two people scuffling together, Liu Bei thought to himself that this is really funny, not doing personnel in the daytime to fight in the field, who will it be? So he ran over with rhubarb, and when he got closer, he found that it was Liu Deran, he hurriedly ran over, and shouted in his mouth: "Don't fight, you guys get up quickly......" As he spoke, he separated them with his hands, Liu Bei was older than them, so it was easy to separate them, Liu Deran saw that his brother was coming, so he let go of his hand, but shouted angrily: "Brother, this person is sick, you can help me beat him together." The guy saw that the other party had a helper, and he felt scared, so he let go of his hand, but his mouth was unforgiving, and he shouted with a red face: "You are sick, I caught this cricket first, why are you robbing me of crickets, you return my crickets......"
Liu Bei took a closer look at this person, his face was full of mud, and he was about the same age as Liu Deran, and when he saw Liu Bei staring at him, he also stared at Liu Bei breathlessly, these two people are really a pair of living treasures, Liu Bei was amused, and asked Liu Deran: "Deran, what's the matter with you?" β
Liu Deran said: "I wanted to come to you to play today, but on the way, the cricket accidentally ran out, so I chased after it, but was caught by this bastard, I asked him to return it to me, he refused to give it, and he used strong words, and then we fought." β
Liu Bei just wanted to speak, but the kid immediately pushed back: "I saw that this cricket is a cricket in the wild, what evidence do you have to prove that this cricket ran out of your box?" Even if you run out of the box, it's fucking useless, you can't even manage a cricket, and you have the face to say that I ......"
"What a powerful mouth, and he speaks with a lot of words", Liu Bei thought to himself, and instantly became interested in this person, but he didn't know where this person was, so he asked: "What is your name, where are you from?" β
When the kid heard Liu Bei say this, he thought that Liu Bei was going to salute first and then soldier, so he didn't care about 3721 and said loudly: "My name is Jian Yong, from Zhuo County." β
Liu Bei secretly admired this kid's courage, thinking that he was also from Zhuo County, I hadn't seen it before, I thought it was the homeless people from other places that my mother usually told me, and now in Liu Bei's impression, the homeless people are those who make trouble everywhere and do evil, Liu Bei is afraid that Liu Deran and the homeless people will get involved in disputes, but fortunately, Jian Yong is a local, so the relationship is one step closer, and the contradictions between the two are much easier to handle......
"Hahaha......" Liu Bei changed his face at this time, and laughed: "Jian Yong, it turns out that you are also from Zhuo, everyone is a local, and you are a fellow countryman, if you can't say anything well, you have to do it, and you will hurt your anger." β
Jian Yong was already full of resentment, seeing Liu Bei say this, thinking that Liu Bei was his own person to help his own people speak, and he didn't have a backache when he stood and talked, and saw that Liu Bei also had a box in his hand that was the same as Liu Deran, thinking that this box should also contain crickets, so he stared at the box in Liu Bei's hand, and said to Liu Bei dissatisfiedly: "He robbed me of my things, where can I be happy, if I rob your things, what will happen to you?" β
As soon as Liu Bei heard Jian Yong's words, looked at Jian Yong's expression, and immediately thought of a way to solve the contradiction, without saying a word, he handed the cricket in his hand to Jian Yong, and said with a smile: "Jian Yong, come, I will give you my general, this one of mine is no worse than the one in Deran...... But give you crickets, I have a condition, you have to shake hands with De Ran and make peace, since we are all fellow villagers, how about we play together in the future? β
Liu Deran saw Liu Bei like this, so he was surprised: "Why did you give him your general?" β
Liu Bei said with a smile: "You can usually play together together, besides, there are crickets in the field, and I can catch another one another day." β
Jian Yong looked at Liu Bei at this time, this clever mouth was choked and speechless, after a while, he took over Liu Bei's general, so he deliberately pretended to be reluctant, stretched out his hand to Liu Deran, and said: "For your brother's sake, I have a lot of adults, and I will give you the crickets in your hand, and I won't care about you......"
Liu Deran also knew that he was unforgiving, and seeing that Liu Bei had let his generals out, what else could he say, so he didn't quarrel with him, held Jian Yong's hand, and pretended to be arrogant and said: "I'll tell you, you're late, my brother will be the boss in the future, I'll be the second, and you'll be the third......"
I saw Jian Yong say with a disgusted face: "I only recognize Liu Bei as the eldest brother, but I didn't say that I want to recognize you as the second brother, you don't have to be stinky and beautiful with me here." β
After listening to Liu Deran and Jian Yong's words at this time, Liu Bei looked at the two people in front of him, and didn't know why he was a little excited, muttering to himself: "Is this how it feels to be a brother and a big brother......
Thinking of this, Liu Bei said to the two of them: "Let's go, let's go play!" β
......
"Master, the remnants of karma and demons in the world have been found in one place, in the palace of Luoyang, most of the eunuchs of the current dynasty have been infected by the demonic nature of karma, and they have set up a special place in the palace to pay tribute to karma demons, and everyone regards karma as gods, worshipping in order to get the blessing of karma demons!"
"The more angry a person is, the easier it is to be infected by karmic demons, eunuchs are incomplete people, they are moody, and because of their incomplete body, they are naturally angry, so it is normal for them to be easily infected by karmic demons!"
"The disciple believes that it is not easy to eradicate the eunuchs, the main reason is that the emperor is too dependent on them, without their existence, the emperor will feel that his throne will be taken away by his relatives or the noble class, so they would rather turn a blind eye to what the eunuchs do than kill them all!"
"Don't be in a hurry, there is still a certain gap between the power of the karmic demons and the Liuding Divine Fire, you first arrange the affairs of the world, and then find out the remnants of other karmic demons, so that things can be handled more handily!"
"Yes! Disciple obeys! β
"How are things going with Fairy Qingshui and Sang Lingzi?"
"Now that they have been reincarnated, Fairy Qing Shui was reincarnated in a wealthy family doing business, and Sang Lingzi was reincarnated in the family of the Han clan in the middle of the family, and the disciples have sent people to cultivate and educate them, and the burden of the Zhongxing Han family may be realized in their hands in the future!"
"Yes, I hope so!"
γSu Xueγ
"Take a look, fresh pork ......"
"This lord, buy some cabbage......"
"Fresh tofu brain, do you want some from the guest officer...... Inside please! β
At this time, Zuo Ci walked into a shop and sat down in a corner where no one was around.
"This guest officer, what do you want to order, our store has fresh tofu brain, sauerkraut, dry cakes......"
"Just play with tofu brain!" Before the shopkeeper could finish speaking, Zuo Ci interrupted.
"Haole, a bowl of tofu brains!" After speaking, the shopkeeper turned around and left.
"I heard that Miss Qianjin of Su Mansion has recently had a strange disease, this person has been unconscious, have you heard?" At this time, several old men sitting next to Zuo Ci chatted and said.
"I heard, it is said that Su Shuang found a lot of doctors and did not cure his daughter's illness, after those doctors went, he didn't even find out what the disease was, you say this is not strange, even our most famous local doctor Hu in Zhongshan, he was helpless, after entering, it is said that he shook his head again and again, saying that it was hopeless!"
"Oh, what a pity you say, being born in a rich family like Su Shuang, what a thing that makes people blush, but it's a pity that this little girl's life is hard, and she doesn't have this rich life!"
"Don't you really say it, this girl is said to have been born back then, and it immediately rained in the sky above Su Mansion, and what is even more strange is that except for Su Mansion, there is no other place, and it rained at his house."
"Yes, yes, yes, I saw this with my own eyes, it was really a strange thing, I thought I was dazzled, I walked in and looked, it was really, there was a wall, it was raining inside the wall, and there was nothing outside the wall!"
"According to the slave of the Su family, the withered yellow flowers and trees in his garden at that time immediately became green when they saw this rain, and they were exactly the same as freshly grown ones, this is really godly!"
"Don't you really say it, Su Shuang's daughter, I've seen it, the age is about thirteen or fourteen years old, but this person looks, ouch, that beauty, like a fairy, I was stunned when I saw it, really, it's just ice muscle and jade bones, a fairy descending to earth, it's really a beauty embryo!"
"You just blow it here, just you splash skin, you can also enter the Su Mansion, and you don't pee to take care of yourself!"
"That's it, besides, no matter how good-looking Su Shuang's young lady is, what does it have to do with you!"
"It has nothing to do with me, does it have anything to do with you!"
Although the policy implemented in the Han Dynasty was to emphasize agriculture and suppress commerce, with the passage of time, especially in the Eastern Han Dynasty, merchants often maintained more or less inextricable ties with local officials and even the court due to their abundant financial resources.
"Hahaha......" After listening to their conversation, Zuo Ci suddenly laughed and said to them: "Brothers, do you know where Su Mansion is?" β
Everyone was stunned, looked Zuo Ci up and down, and said: "At first glance, you are not a local, don't you know the home of Su Shuang, our richest man in Zhongshan?" β
"Ah, Poor Dao is indeed not a local, but I just heard you say that the young lady of Su Mansion is sick, and Poor Dao knows a little about medical skills, so I want to go and see it!"
"Are you a good person, you look poor and sour, if you have such high medical skills, you will still dress like this, let me tell you, even our most famous doctor Hu in Zhongshan is helpless, you can pull it down, don't be a person who is abducted and deceived by the time, and finally be blasted out by the people of Sufu, don't cheat a few money, it's not good to be embarrassed!"
"A few brothers, as the saying goes, heroes don't ask where they come from, so we who study medicine naturally can't be judged by their appearance and family lineage.
"Okay, okay, don't talk to him, go out and turn left, keep walking, there is a high-walled compound on the right, which is Su Mansion, and there are a few words Su Mansion on the door...... Come on, come on, drink and drink! After speaking, he drank by himself and no longer bothered with Zuo Ci.
"Thank you, brothers!" After Zuo Ci finished speaking, he was about to get up and leave the store, when he saw the shopkeeper coming over with a tofu brain, and said, "Guest officer, your tofu brain is good!" β
"You bring it to the beggar on the side of the road, I won't eat it, I'll put the money on the table!" After Zuo Ci finished speaking, he went to find Su Mansion, leaving only Xiao Er of the shop looking at his departing back with a confused face.
"Tuk Tuk Tuk...... Tuk Tuk ......"
"Bang dang!" The door opened, and when a little brother saw that the person who knocked on the door was actually a soldier, he thought that he was here to beg, so he said impatiently: "Recently, our master is in a bad mood, go and go, go to another house!" With that, he prepared to close the door.
Zuo Ci hurriedly stopped: "Little brother, you misunderstood, I am here to treat your young lady's illness!" β
"Don't cheat here, let me tell you, you're the fifth in this month, if you don't know each other again, I'll call the government!"
"No, little brother, you really misunderstood, listen to me, the reason why your young lady is unconscious is not a disease at all, I have a panacea in my hand, just give it to her, really!"
"It's not a disease, what medicine do you give my lady, I see you didn't take medicine today, you, get out, don't bother me!"
"Hey, you ......" Zuo Ci was helpless, so he cast a little spell, and instantly drilled in through the crack in the door, the little brother didn't react at once, how did the living person in front of him disappear, and when he looked back, it turned out that Zuo Ci had already been in the house today.
"Hey~ your uncle, someone is coming, catch the thief, catch the thief, you stop me!"
This little brother shouted, and dozens of family members immediately rushed over with the guys, causing Zuo Ci to rush wherever he saw no one, he jumped left and right, thinking that this Su Mansion is really big, the courtyard is one after another, the corridors are one after another, where is this Su Xue's room, the master said, when you come to the world, you can't use spells on others at will, in case you mess up the heaven and earth, but these dozens of people rushed over now, they have to chop me up, it seems that it is better to use it, just when Zuo Ci is about to cast a spell, Then he heard a shout of stopping.
"Stop me!"
At this time, a man in gorgeous clothes came over, and when those family members saw it, they immediately stopped, only to see the little brother trotting over and saying: "Master, this person is a charlatan, just like before, he cheats on eating and drinking, why don't we report to the government directly!" β
As soon as Zuo Ci heard that this little brother was instigating Su Shuang to report to the official, he hurriedly shouted loudly: "Su Shuang, I am here to save your daughter's life, Su Shuang, you get out of the way for me!" Zuo Ci let go of the family's hand, walked in front of Su Shuang, and said: "Su Shuang, Poor Dao came this time to save your daughter Su Xue's life, if you insist on reporting to the government, then I don't care about your daughter's life, you have seen so many doctors, everyone can't be cured, so why do you send me alone, you are a businessman, you know the benefits and losses better than me, if I can't be cured, I don't want you a penny, so you won't lose, if I am cured, you can see for yourself how much, anyway, you won't lose, What reason do you have to refuse this non-loss-making deal? β
"Can you really cure my daughter?"
"If it can't be cured, you can dispose of it!"
"Come with me, if you cure my daughter's illness today, I will give you whatever you want!"
"I don't want anything, I just have to give you a suggestion!"
"Oh? The previous Langzhong came for money, why didn't you want a penny, but gave me advice? β
"To tell you the truth, your daughter is not suffering from any disease, do you remember the drizzle that fell in your house when she was born?"
"Naturally, I remember, it's green grass and a hundred flowers are blooming!"
"That rain was brought by your daughter Su Xue, and it is also the source of her life, the reason why she fell unconscious this time is actually caused by the lack of this source of life!"
"This ...... Why can't I understand, so what can you do? β
At this time, Zuo Ci handed one of his gourds to Su Shuang and said, "You immediately ask someone to give Su Xue the medicine in this gourd to drink, and I guarantee that it will work immediately!" β
Su Shuang turned the gourd, opened the cap of the bottle and looked inside, sniffed it again, and said, "Can I drink some?" β
"Drink, don't finish it!"
I saw Su Shuang take a sip of the medicine inside, smash it, smash it, and say, "Isn't this water?" β
"Haha...... This is not ordinary water, this is the stream above Songshan Mountain, don't ask again, let her take it quickly! β
Su Shuang was also confused by him, what is the use of a pot of stream water, but seeing that he was so sure, he had to feed the water in the gourd to his daughter with his own hands, and there was no reaction at the beginning of feeding, and when he took the second and third mouthfuls, he saw that Su Xue began to cough, and the more he fed the back, Su Xue seemed to have obtained the power of nature, his eyes were also opened, his hands and feet would move, and the whole person suddenly became conscious, at this time Su Xue opened his big black eyes and said: "Daddy, what's wrong with me!" β
"Oh, my God, my daughter is awake, my daughter is awake, this Taoist, you are really a god, you are my daughter's savior, my Su Shuang's savior, and my Su family's life-saving benefactor, Dao Chief, thank you, thank you so much!" Su Shuang burst into tears excitedly at this time, knelt down in front of Zuo Ci and thanked him again and again.
"Su Shuang, don't be like this, the poor road is deserved, please get up quickly!"
Su Shuang got up and said, "Dao Chief, Su Shuang really doesn't know how to thank you!" β
"Ling Ai woke up, in fact, it is not the credit of the poor Dao, what she lacks is the natural qi on Songshan Mountain, once she has that qi, Su Xue will not be like this anymore!"
"You mean, Cher will be like this in the future?"
"Yes, not only will this be the case in the future, but it will become more and more frequent as I get older!"
"That'...... This...... How can this be? β
"There is a way, I don't know if you want to!"
"Dao Chief, please speak!"
"At this time next year, there will be a person named Lu Zhi halfway up Songshan who will give a lecture there, you just need to send Su Xue to him to study, let her practice on Songshan for a few years, and the root of her illness will naturally be solved!"
"This ...... Who is this Lu Zhi, Dao Chief, I Su Shuang for so many years, but there is only this one child, you say she is ......"
"Hey~ Wait, stop, stop, Lu Zhi is a student of today's Daru Ma Rong, he is now serving as the Taishou of Jiujiang County, in the near future, he will resign and return to his hometown, and then he will go to the middle of Songshan Mountain to open a school to teach and educate people, you can rest assured of him, poor Dao can be guaranteed with his life!"
"No, no, no, the Dao Elder is not so serious, the little girl was saved by the Dao Chief, Su Shuang listens to you, today next year, I will definitely personally send her to Songshan and hand her over to Lu Zhi!"
"Then the poor road will take his leave first!" As soon as the words fell, Zuo Ci turned into a cloud of mist and disappeared in front of Su Shuang's eyes.
After Su Shuang came back to his senses, he realized that the Taoist in front of him was really a god, which made him more relieved that his daughter was sent to Songshan to study.
