On a small river at the junction of Qi and Song, a small boat floated. Inside the boat, there were seven people sitting around a low square table, and they were chatting while watching Jiang Se while drinking tea.

Among these seven people, five of them were the five hermits who escaped from the capital of the Song Kingdom. They were originally going to smuggle to the State of Qi and then to the State of Chu. Outcome! I met an old acquaintance here, and I stopped.

The other two are the old acquaintances of the five hermits, an old couple in their sixties. The old couple have been living in seclusion here for some years. They had no identity and traveled between the Song and Qi kingdoms. When the Song Kingdom was in turmoil, and the people were bored, they smuggled them to the Qi Kingdom. When the Qi State pursued it fiercely, they returned to the Song State.

Peacetime! He fished for a living, and occasionally helped people ferry. Or! Help friends travel between the Song Kingdom and the Qi Kingdom, and be the "head of the snake". Since it is semi-secluded, so! The connections are pretty good. The officials of Qi and Song knew that they did not have households, but they did not track them down. The people above pressed it down, and told them that the couple went to Qi or Song to avoid the limelight.

"There's a fish jump over there!" The big man pointed not far away and shouted excitedly.

When the owner heard the sound of the fish jumping, he smiled and went out of the cabin, picked up the oars, turned the boat around, and rowed it that way.

Seeing that everyone was smiling, the boat lady couldn't help but say, "You guys? Are you really going to die? Just watched Zhuangzi and Rong'er being hunted down? You guys? ”

Humpty Dumpty saw that Mrs. Boat had not mentioned Zhuangzi and Rong'er at the same time, and looked at Mrs. Boat and said with a smile: "Our Taoist inheritor, he still needs to be tempered by life, and he understands Taoist doctrine." But! He still lacks a personal feeling! ”

"Personally? What more 'personal feelings' do you need? The boat lady asked, puzzled.

The thin hermit smiled and said, "Do you know what it means to 'stand and talk without low back pain'?" ”

When the other hermits heard this, they all laughed.

"You? What do you mean? The boat lady asked, puzzled.

The tall, thin hermit explains, "We need to have empathetic experiences in order to better understand life. Although Zhuangzi understood Taoist doctrine, he was inherited by Yang Zhu's predecessors. But? He has too little life experience and too little empathy.

For example! The last palace incident made him very dilemma! Is it to save my mother? Or at the expense of his mother, to save the world?

Still is? What about sacrificing oneself?

In fact! No matter what choice he makes, it is both right and wrong. There is a right reason to say that he is right, and there is a wrong reason to say that he is wrong.

So! It's a lifetime ordeal! Let us choose between two dilemmas, so that we can have a deeper understanding of life.

Outcome! Zhuangzi's choice is still right! Rong'er's choice is the right one! Bet with your life once, since the future is an unknown and uncertain, then bet!

It is for this reason that King Wen of Zhou set "Yi". Since things are uncertain, let's gamble! If it is not this result, it must be another result! It's not a neutral result! It's not an accident again! ”

"Easy? Do you still understand easy? The boat lady cried out in surprise.

The thin hermit looked at the boat lady and smiled smugly.

Although Mrs. Boat is an old woman in her sixties and dressed very plainly, she can still see that she was also a big beauty when she was young.

"You know "Yi", but you don't understand love!"

"Love?" The tall and thin man asked, "We Taoists have affection, right?" ”

"You are ruthless!"

"Me?"

"You're all ruthless!" The boat lady pointed to the other four and said. "You still have a reason to see that you don't save you from death? You obviously didn't achieve your goal last time, but this time you won't be saved! You guys? Alas! ”

Mrs. Boat sighed: "It's a pity that I'm not Huang Rong, I don't know martial arts!" Otherwise! I'm going to save it! ”

When the five hermits saw that the boat lady had brought up the old matter again, they bowed their heads in shame one by one.

"Saving people doesn't have to be martial arts! The civil official approves a sum, and the military attache runs to a dead end! If you don't know martial arts and don't have literary talent, you can't be saved. ”

The owner rowed the boat to its destination and said as he lifted the nets from the water and took out the big fish.

"You? You're just like them! Death won't save you? The boat lady said angrily: "As long as we make a move, take Zhuangzi and Rong'er over, and send them to Qi State, everything is over!" You guys? ”

The owner threw the fish into the cabin and said with a smile: "Kill the fish, burn it for us to eat, and we will drink two bowls of wine to strengthen our courage, and then go to save people, how about it?" My beauty? ”

Talking! He put the net into the water.

In fact! His fishing net is not a modern fishing net, but a large fish basket, which is equivalent to the fish basket used by modern people when fishing, and also equivalent to the "dragon gate array" for fishing that modern people lay in the river beach.

It is to make a large fish basket, put bait in it, and go deep into the water. Once the foraging fish enter the basket, they will never come out.

"What about beauty? I'm ugly! Also beautiful! The boat lady groaned as she reached for the fish. He asked again: "Are you really going to save Zhuangzi and Rong'er?" ”

"Don't worry! With the martial arts and IQ of Zhuangzi and Rong'er, they can't die! Salvation is to be saved, but! Not yet! The big man replied from the side.

"Not yet, but when?"

"Wait until the moment of life and death, wait until Zhuangzi is desperate!"

"You? You guys? Everyone was looking at her and laughing, and the boat lady said angrily: "You are too cruel! ”

"Cruel?"

"Are we cruel?"

"We are letting Zhuangzi experience life profoundly!"

"Only when a person is most desperate can he deeply understand life!"

"So! Proud people like Confucianism and think that Confucianism is a classic. And once they are unlucky, they begin to doubt life and study Taoism. ”

"You're all a bunch of frustrated people! You guys? The boat lady complained: "If Rong'er has an accident, I won't finish with you!" ”

The owner of the ship got into the cabin and said with a smile: "Let's also bet on whether there is an accident!" ”

"You?"

All six burst into laughter at the same time.

If there is no accident, if Zhuangzi and Rong'er die in an accident? After experiencing this incident, Zhuangzi's perception of Taoist doctrine will be further enhanced.

Zhuangzi and Rong'er were chased and killed, and not long after Zhuangzi and the two came to the border of the Song Kingdom, they heard about the five hermits. But they feel that Zhuangzi must also go through this "ninety-nine-eighty-one difficulty" in order to understand life more deeply. So! Didn't want to save him.

It is precisely for this reason that Zhuangzi and Rong'er became "lonely people", and no Taoist came out to help them.
