Chapter 8: Chicken Soup for the Soul (Part I)
Chapter 8 Chicken Soup for the Soul 1
Li Shimin nodded, when he was sick, his mother would give him such a bag of sugar, and now that his eldest brother is sick, he will give himself candy to eat.
So, he looked away and looked at Li Jiancheng, with sugar in his mouth, and said with a big tongue: "Cauldron (brother), are you really not killing him because of his mother?" ”
Li Jiancheng hesitated for a moment and then said faintly: "Actually, death is not necessarily the end......" There is no way out, isn't it just after death to start now: "And it is the most painful ...... to make people live worse than death" He paused when he said this.
Li Shimin blinked his eyes and said with a tangled expression: "Cauldron, why do I think you haven't finished saying this?!" ”
Li Jiancheng said to Li Shimin with a smile: "Do you think I let him go because I wanted to see him live rather than die, or because I let him go to take care of his mother, or didn't want my family to kill people?" "In order to have a good death for yourself in the future, train and continue to train.
Li Shimin frowned, feeling that everything made sense.
Li Jiancheng is a child who grew up in history, and he is a black man who takes history as a mirror, so he smiled mysteriously and said:
"Then think about it, in fact, these are the reasons, the reason for one thing can be one, it can be two, it can be three, four, five, six, seven." The way of thinking of man is cultivated, and the reason why a calf is born without fear of a tiger is because he thinks less.
If Li Shimin in history knew that his stain would be burdened for thousands of years, and his own son would have rebelled against him, and future generations would let the Tang Dynasty decline in the incessant infighting and rebellion, I wonder if he would still launch the Xuanwumen Rebellion?
Looking at Li Shimin, who was thinking, Li Jiancheng smiled meaningfully.
In order to deepen their feelings with each other, and at the same time guide Li Shimin on the road of more thought, he thought of a way, and said: "You help me fetch water and wipe my face, as a reward, I will tell you a story." "Thinking is a long-term habit, and fiction is a good thing to develop your brain.
Hearing this, Li Shimin looked up at Li Jian's little servant Li Xi meaningfully, and saw that Li Xi didn't mean to move, and then thought that his eldest brother's injury had something to do with him, so he trotted to fetch water, but he didn't expect any story in his heart.
After all, in this era, there is no bedtime story as a weapon for time-travelers to coax children.
When Li Jiancheng thought of the story, a lot of stories poured out in his mind, what "One Thousand and One Nights", "Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales", "Aesop's Fables"......
In the end, the four masterpieces of Chinese culture prevailed.
These four books passed in Li Jiancheng's mind......
Don't watch "Water Margin", lest the child learn the righteousness of the rivers and lakes to mix with the society, and go further is to rebel. Even if Li Shimin doesn't tell him about "Water Margin", it's enough to worry people, no.
If you don't watch "Three Kingdoms" all the time, it's all intrigues, and it's feasible to talk about it; But Li Shimin was trained to be an intriguing old fox, and he didn't say it, Li Shimin was too young to understand, he was not attractive to him, and he was not suitable.
"Dream of Red Mansions", when he was a child, Li Jiancheng read this book as a romance novel, and it wasn't until he was older that he knew that there were still many mappings and background cultures here; Li Shimin, a boy whose hair has not yet grown, understands love?
is still the most suitable for "Journey to the West", bizarre, and most attractive to children.
Li Jiancheng still remembers that when he was a child, he stood by the TV, waiting for the white dragon horse and hooves facing west, carrying Tang Sanzang and his three apprentices...... The melody appears.
When Li Shimin came back from fetching water, after Li Jiancheng scrubbed, he cleared his throat and began to speak: "A long, many years ago, there was a place called Dongsheng Shenzhou, there was a country called Aolai Country overseas, the country was near the sea, there was a famous mountain in the sea, called Huaguo Mountain, there was a stone on the top of the mountain, since the beginning of the world, every innocent show, the sun and the moon, suddenly one day, burst open and turned into a stone monkey......
The charm of "Journey to the West" is self-evident, Li Shimin's expression became more and more focused when he listened to the story, and when Li Jiancheng stopped after half an hour, he was already fascinated and pestered Li Jiancheng to talk down.
Of course, Li Jiancheng refused: "It's not early, go wash up, then go to sleep, and I'll tell you tomorrow." ”
So far, Li Jiancheng has been talking about "Journey to the West" for half an hour every day, and Li Shimin, who has become a book fan, is like a little tail when he has time, sticking to Li Jian's side.
A picture of scratching his ears and cheeks, constantly looking for opportunities, so that Li Jiancheng can spoil in advance.
When Dou Hui saw Li Shimin like this, he pulled his ears and muttered: "Your eldest brother is sick, you have to let him rest well......"
Li Jiancheng looked at it with a smile every time, and it wasn't until Li Shimin asked him for help that he pleaded: "Mother, it's boring for me to stay in bed alone, and the second brother came to talk to me......"
Time passed day by day, and a month later, under Li Jiancheng's description of the extraordinary life (note) movement (water), even if the mood was added from time to time, "Journey to the West" only talked about a little and a half, and only said that the great sage of Sanqingguan left his name, and the monkey king of Che Chi Kingdom showed the law.
At this time, Li Jiancheng's run-in period between his soul and body has finally passed, and he can walk on the ground like a normal person, no longer like before, as long as he acts, he sweats like rain, and he is very painful, and he can't even get out of the door. And his appearance fell in the eyes of others, just because he fell too hard.
Li Jiancheng's condition has improved greatly, which makes Dugu's grandmother very happy, so she decided to celebrate.
Throughout the ages, the celebration that Chinese people say is naturally synonymous with everyone having a good meal together.
Even Li Xuanba, who no longer leaves the house in winter, came, and this was the second time Li Jiancheng had seen this younger brother.
The first meeting was this morning.
After Li Jiancheng was able to move around, the first thing he did was to come to ask the Dugu clan for peace, and the second thing was to go to see Li Xuanba.
Li Xuanba was in poor health and suffering from illness, although he was a few months younger than Li Shimin, he was much more sensible. And this kind of sensibility made Li Jiancheng feel distressed.
And Li Jiancheng is 'recovering from a serious illness' after all, after walking such a circle, he felt that his heart was about to jump out of his throat, and when he was chatting with Li Xuanba, he was carefully seen by the other party.
Li Xuanba hurriedly asked him to go to the bed to rest, Li Jiancheng didn't see outside, in this winter, although there was a charcoal brazier in the house, it was still quite cold on the ground, so he sat on his feet and chatted with the cover.
After chatting for half an hour, Li Jiancheng felt drowsy, so he found an excuse to go back to the room to rest, and on the way back, he kept scolding in his heart and obsessing about this pit in his heart!
I was very careful, but I was still pitted by the thousand-year-old ghost, but fortunately, I have studied every word on the soul contract thoroughly, and there will be no more unforeseen problems, now I just need to keep exercising. (To be continued)
