Chapter 3 The Petty Officials Who Have Saved People

Recently, Gu Haotian has often been frightened by a terrifying picture, dripping blood-dripping scimitars, messy horse hooves, and groups of bald rat-tailed barbarians.

Gu Haotian was indeed frightened by his reasoning about the progress of history, compared with the history of the Northern Song Dynasty, the shame of Jingkang occurred in 1127, which means that the Zhou Dynasty may also suffer from this disaster about twenty years later, and Shandong seems to have fallen.

Will there be a Zhou Dynasty version of "The Shame of Jingkang"? Gu Haotian's inference is affirmative. In the past two days, he learned from his father that today's Son of Heaven is also a literary emperor like Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the prime minister is that Cai Jing, as for Gao Yu, Tong Guan, and Yang Jian, there is a high probability that they also exist, and he can even imagine that those barbarians in the old forests in the northeast are ready to move.

Gu Haotian didn't think that his little butterfly could change the huge inertia of history. Since you can't resist, you can only choose to adapt. He especially remembered a classic joke in later life, "Life is like rape, since you can't resist it, then enjoy it slowly." Fortunately, he still has time, although he can't be sure of the year in which the war occurred, but compared with the Northern Song Dynasty, he thinks that there are at least more than ten years left.

Bian Xiang has been confused again in the past two days, after the "book stealing incident", he thought that the original little official had come back, but the little official seemed to be stupid by the book, and he was stunned for a while. In fact, Gu Haotian has been planning his own back road in the past two days, and the most ideal and awesome thing is, of course, to change the dynasty and be the master of his own house like the great gods who cross the road, but he doesn't think he can do it, at least at present, there is no such sign. The second is to move south, to a place in the south that cannot be burned by the war to spend his life. After struggling like this for a day or two, he finally made a decision: I don't want to think about it, let's talk about it later, and take care of the present.

The first plan Gu Haotian made for himself was to exercise. The body is the capital of the revolution, this is a common truth in ancient and modern times. Not to mention the troubled times that will come in a few years, it is not too much to pay attention to the physical fitness in this feudal society where a cold can also kill people. The second is to improve knowledge, improve social status, find out the context of this society as much as possible, and improve the chance of survival.

Running is the first exercise method that Gu Haotian thought of, it can not only exercise endurance and physique, but also has no requirements for the place, and he even thinks that it will be beneficial if he has to flee in the future. Gu Zhen was against it at first, but when Gu Haotian moved out of Grandpa Whitebeard, he immediately disarmed, and according to Gu Haotian's request, he asked the craftsman to install some horizontal bars, parallel bars and other things in the back garden.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the people of Gujiazhuang gradually discovered a novel phenomenon, every morning, on the trail on the side of the mountain, the small officials of the ancient family will run tirelessly with the servant Bian Xiang.

"Little official, you slow down, slow down." Bian Xiang was panting like a cow behind him.

Gu Haotian couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, he was not Bian Xiang's opponent in terms of ten skills, but running was also a technical job. So he ran unhurriedly, and at the same time taught Bian Xiang some of the methods mastered by later generations, what "head and shoulders are steady, facing the front, hand and foot coordination, slow forward and fast back, deep inhalation and fast spitting, mouth and nose together" and so on. Not to mention, Bian Xiang, a big man, is really talented in sports, and it didn't take long to master the skills and keep up with the rhythm. Later, when Bian Xiang trained others to run, this mantra became his magic weapon to brag. Since then, the two figures, one tall and one short, one strong and one thin, have gradually become a specific scenery in Gujiazhuang every morning.

Since then, Gu Haotian's life has his own rules, he goes out for a run with Bian Xiang every morning, goes to his father's study to read after breakfast, goes to the back garden to practice single parallel bars after lunch break, goes out for a jog a few laps after dinner, and then reads some books and rests on time.

A large amount of exercise naturally requires high-quality nutritional supplements, and Gu Haotian, as a petty official, is naturally guaranteed, but Bian Xiang does not have such treatment. As a later generation, Gu Haotian never regarded Bian Xiang as a servant in his heart, and he really felt Bian Xiang's loyalty to him. So he asked the stove to send three meals to his bedroom on the grounds that the exercise time did not coincide with the family's meal time, and specially asked for Bian Xiang's share to be added, Gu Zhen and Li agreed without much thought.

In the evening of this day, the two of them, who had been sweating profusely in the back garden, returned to the east wing.

"Bian Xiang, go take a shower, come to me right away."

"Little official, why don't you go to dinner first?"

"That's all this nonsense, go ahead." Gu Haotian ignored him and took a bath by himself.

When Bian Xiang came back with a stomach full of doubts, Gu Haotian was already sitting behind a few cases full of big fish and meat and white-flour steamed buns.

"Well, come and eat with me." He used his chopsticks to point to the opposite position.

"Me, eat!" Bian Xiang felt that his brain was a little insufficient.

"Have a meal, how can you be a mother-in-law."

Looking at the food that was obviously one more person, Bian Xiang suddenly understood why the little official didn't go to the main room to eat, but he didn't want to sit opposite the little official after all.

Hi, this damn feudal hierarchical conception. Gu Haotian took a large bowl and divided most of the meal.

"Why, if you want me to feed you, you can't do it."

Bian Xiang took it hesitantly, turned around and sat on the threshold, in the curling heat, Bian Xiang felt that two drops of warm liquid from the corner of his eye slipped uncontrollably, this damn heat, and then chewed hard.

In this way, two months have passed unconsciously, and with a high amount of exercise and sufficient nutrition, Gu Haotian has become stronger at a speed that he can see. Bian Xiang is getting stronger and stronger. This kind of change Gu Zhen is happy in his eyes, and he sighs that the means of the immortals are different. So he secretly made a decision in his heart, he had to find two high-level literary and martial arts masters for his son as soon as possible, and he must not delay his son's future.

The hill of Gujiazhuang is about three kilometers in circumference, there is an iron shop on the side of the fork road in the northeast, and there is a big stone in the south. After more than two months of perseverance, Gu Haotian and Bian Xiang can now calmly run three laps around the hill, a distance of almost nine kilometers. At midnight on this day, that is, at about seven o'clock, after completing the morning exercise, the two of them stood on the boulder on the south side of the mountain, which was the regular resting point of the two of them.

In the late autumn Qilu land has been quite cool, in the cool morning breeze, colorful leaves from the ancient maple and old apricots on the side of the mountain scattered falling. Most of the crops in the surrounding fields have already been harvested, and the smell of harvest wafts from the smoke of the farmers' cooking. Not far away there was an old man fishing in the river, standing on a wooden boat, struggling to cast his nets into the morning light. Gu Haotian watched quietly, and he once again sighed in his heart, if he could, it would be good to live here for the rest of his life.

"Little official, little official, look, the old man who fished fell into the water!"

"Ah," he looked back to his senses, and sure enough, the old man who had just fished was struggling in the deep and shallow water.

"Quick." He ran over with Bian Xiangfeng, and at a distance of five or six hundred meters, the two runners arrived in an instant. Gu Haotian didn't want to take off his coat, and jumped into the river with a "plop".

"Little official—" Bian Xiang's mournful voice sounded behind him, and he immediately jumped into the river.

Sadly, when he arrived in the river, Gu Hao remembered that this body was not in the later generations, it seemed that he had not learned to swim yet, how could this save people, with the memory of swimming in later generations, he barely floated on the water, and Bian Xiang immediately swam closer.

"Save the old man first." He could see that the old man was running out of steam.

"No, petty officer." Bian Xiang continued to swim closer.

"Bian Xiang, you dare to disobey!" Gu Haotian unconsciously used the majesty of the age of thirty-eight.

Bian Xiang was stunned for a moment, as if he felt that the words of the ten-year-old little official had an irresistible coercion. He shouted hysterically, "Little official, you must wait for me to come back." "Turn around and save the old man first.

Just when Gu Haotian felt that he was about to lose his bearing, Bian Xiang arrived again. On the riverbank, this five-year-old and three-thick man hugged the wet Gu Haotian and cried like a child. He was very frightened, he felt that if the petty official had any accidents under his care, then he would not have to jump into the river and not get up.

The Gu family's brigade soon arrived. While wrapping Gu Haotian in warm clothes, Bian Zhong opened his slap and threw it at Bian Xiang, and Gu Haotian hurriedly blocked in front of the stunned Bian Xiang.

"Uncle Zhong, you can't blame Bian Xiang for this, I have to do it for him."

"Let's make a note of that." Bian Zhong stomped his foot fiercely and gritted his teeth.

The old man who fell into the water had woken up with the help of the villagers, and his two and a half sons had also arrived.

Gu Haotian came to the old man's side, asked Gu Zhong for a piece of clothing to cover the old man's body, half-squatted and asked, "Old man, I feel good now." The old man's lips trembled, and before he could say anything, he was already in tears, just now he knew from the mouth of his neighbor that the little official gave up his life to save him.

"Son, yet—don't go over and kneel down for the petty officials." It took him a long time to spit out a word.

Immediately, the two and a half big boys knelt in front of Gu Haotian "plopped", and said angrily: "The little official saved my father, Ma Qiang (Ma Xun) doesn't know how to repay him, if there is a dispatch in the future, just give orders." ”

Gu Haotian picked up the two boys with Bian Zhong, looking at these two upright boys, he couldn't help but feel in his heart, "You two will help your father go back to raise, if there is any shortage, you can go to the house to find me." So he told them to disperse and went home.

Gu Haotian's distress incident caused a huge throbbing in the Gu family. Chan was so frightened that she even forbade her son's morning exercises. Fortunately, Gu Zhen had some insight after all, and one night, after he vaguely revealed some things about the white-bearded fairy to Chen by the pillow, Chen finally relented again.

On East Street in Yuncheng County, the "Shilixiang" restaurant of the ancient family's industry is at the time of Chinese food, and there are many diners.

"Did you hear that? Recently, there has been a strange incident in our Yuncheng County, "Diner Jia's exaggerated and mysterious tone successfully attracted a large number of listeners, "The petty officials outside the Gujiazhuang Gu staff almost gave up their lives in order to save a dozen old fishers. ”

"A petty official with a golden body sacrificed his life to save the rotten life of an old fisherman?" Diner B questioned.

"The second cousin of the third aunt lives in Gujiazhuang, he stood on the shore and witnessed it with his own eyes that day, the little officials of the Gu family couldn't hold it anymore, and they strictly ordered the servants to save the old man who was fishing first, and he knew the righteousness, do you know that the little official is only a ten-year-old child!" Diner A is convincing.

"The old man has also heard about this, but he has a chivalrous style at a young age!" Diner C sighed.

The deeds of the small officials of the ancient family who sacrificed their lives to save people were like a pebble, inadvertently falling into the tranquility of the late autumn of Gujiazhuang, and generating a circle of ripples to spread to Gujiazhuang, Yuncheng County and some unknown directions outside.
