The stream at the foot of the mountain is clear and smooth with pebbles and shrimp swimming in the water.

"Uncle, there, there's a fish there, catch it."

Zhuge Ying's voice came, at this time she was standing in the stream with her trouser legs and sleeves rolled up and waving her hands, her illness had just happened, and she couldn't sit still in the house.

Lingqi was also dragged into the water by her, the sky was warm this day, and the stream was not cold, walking in it was a cool feeling, and the water flowed between her feet and was slightly itchy.

Zhuge Jun stood between the streams with a sharpened wooden branch, heard Zhuge Yingdi's voice, and saw that she and Lingqi had gone into the water, and reminded with a smile.

"You're careful of falling."

Zhuge Liang and Gu Nan were sitting on the shore, Gu Nan had already passed the age of playing.

And Zhuge Liang was just too lazy to move, not to mention that Gu Nan explained his question book last night, and he still needed to take a look at it at this time.

Nowadays, there is no pastime, and reading books can be said to be one of the best pastimes. Unlike later generations, there was no imperial examination at this time, and reading was just a matter of studying.

I have to admit that the imperial examination system has promoted the education revolution, but after all, it will inevitably make the matter of studying more utilitarian.

"If this is the case in the world, what more could you want?"

Gu Nan sat among the grass and asked with a smile.

What kind of situation is probably like this time, or playing in the stream, or reading a book, or resting by the river.

The stream is murmuring nearby, the birds in the mountains and forests are singing in the distance, and the sky is just right, shining warmly and lazily.

There is no impetuous and chaotic mind, there is no waiting for you to do things in a hurry, even time seems to pass very slowly, waiting for you to go and see every detail little by little before slowly passing.

A field and countryside, idle farming, all life is here, simple and nothing else.

Zhuge Liang heard her words, and looked away from the book in his hand and looked into the stream.

Half-ringing, he withdrew his gaze and fell back to the book.

"If this is the case, there should be no chaos."

Indeed, if this were the case, the world would be very simple.

It's a pity that people are the primates of all things, and people's hearts are complex, and they can't be simple, joy, anger, sorrow, greed, hatred, and stupidity.

It is because of the constant strife, but because of this, the world has changed and progressed again and again, and it seems that it is a blessing or a curse.

Only for Gu Nan, she wants to live a simpler life, and it is best that she only needs to do one thing in her life.

"Xiaoliang, do you know Zhuangzi Qiushui?" Gu Nan plucked a blade of grass from the grass and held it in his hand.

"Zhuangzi, is the gentleman talking about the Nanhua Sutra?"

Zhuge Liang thought for a moment, he had seen the manuscript of this book in his uncle's study back then, and he also knew about the article in Qiushui.

"Liang was lucky enough to read some of them."

Zhuangzi was also known as Nanhua Zhenren in the Han Dynasty, and his book was also called Nanhua Jing.

"Does that Xiaoliang know the meaning of the text?"

"Literal." Zhuge Liang lowered his head, he should have been thinking about the article, and after a while, he said.

"The literary meaning of Qiushui should be to recognize external objects, and compare the people of Hebo and Beihai with the Tao, so that people can introspect and not be complacent."

In fact, to put it bluntly, there are people outside the people, and there are mountains outside the mountains.

It's a very simple truth, even if it comes from the book of the saints, it will inevitably make people feel like a cliché.

But there is a very interesting passage in the article of Qiushui.

"You've read that." Gu Nan said with the blade of grass in his hand.

"The four seas are between heaven and earth, not like the emptiness in Dazehu······ People are more than all things, not like the end of the horse's body? The five emperors are connected, the three kings are fighting, the benevolent people are worried, and the people are working, all of them! ”

This passage seems to repeat the meaning of people outside of people, but when you read it carefully, you have a different feeling, like the connection between man and heaven and earth.

"Xiao Liang, you said that people are small compared to heaven and earth, the five emperors are connected, the three kings are fighting, the benevolent people are worried, and the people are working, for the heaven and the earth, it is just a matter of a snap of a finger and a matter of the end."

"Why should that man ask for something and fight for something?"

Zhuge Liang was stunned, thinking, and gradually seemed to have walked into some dead end, and his face became pale.

It's really normal, in this way, it's like directly denying the existence of man himself, everything people do is meaningless to the vast, so why do it?

"Smack."

Seeing Zhuge Liang's appearance, Gu Nan reached out and patted his forehead, waking him up.

"Don't think about it, the words of the saints don't necessarily have to be listened to, there are some things you should insist on. I'm just complaining. ”

Since human power is inherently small, aren't all the great deeds of people all heroic, so how can people be willing?

Zhuge Liang touched his forehead, if Gu Nan hadn't woken him up, he didn't know when he would wake up.

But then he thought, if it were him, what would be the answer?

There was no result, and he took the book in his hand in a trance.

······

"Xiaoliang, what did you think about what I told you last time?"

Gu Nan asked softly, the time for her to go back was almost up, and before that, she wanted to hear Zhuge Liang's reply.

Zhuge Liang put down the book in his hand and muttered for a while.

"Sir, I don't want to go out of the mountain at this time, and General Cao is not the person I want to help at this time."

He turned his head to look at Gu Nan with some apology in his eyes.

"So, I can only refuse Mr.'s kindness first."

Whether Zhuge Liang accepts or rejects is actually expected by Gu Nan, no matter what, she will not force him, and some things can be changed without being forced.

She just sighed and said.

"That's fine."

Zhuge Liang thought for a while, looked at Gu Nan and smiled: "Maybe Liang will change his mind in the future." ”

"Then wait until you change your mind, and come back to me."

Gu Nan lay on the ground, his right hand resting his head, and said a little distractedly.

"I hope you never go out of the mountain."

When you go outside the mountain, you are no longer the same as this Longzhong.

It seemed to be an illusion, Zhuge Liang saw a heavy tiredness in Gu Nan's body, even twilight than an old man.

He didn't know why someone who was about his age would make him feel this way.

I just feel that such tiredness should not appear on her.

"Sir."

Zhuge Liang said, Gu Nan's gaze looked at him.

The boy laughed.

"If you are tired outside, you can come to Longzhong at any time and greet you with a light sweep. Xiaojun Xiaoying should also be very happy. ”

"Huh." Gu Nan lay on his back and closed his eyes lightly: "Got it." ”

"Sir, take a break."

"Well, that's fine." Some confused voices answered.

······

"Brother Zhong, you can eat fish at noon today." Zhuge Ying hugged a fish, his clothes were half wet, and he ran with a smile.

Lingqi and Zhuge Jun were also carrying a small bamboo basket, and it seemed that they should have caught a lot.

When they walked in, Zhuge Liang was sitting on the grass by the stream reading a book, while beside him, Gu Nan was asleep, covered with a piece of clothing.

Seeing a few people coming, Zhuge Liang raised his head, smiled, and made a soft gesture with his hand on his mouth.

Several people also smiled and put their hands to their mouths.
