When Zhang Cambodia first came to Xinzhou, after witnessing and experiencing the above two things, he secretly thought: This Nanyue Xinzhou is a desolate and desolate place, and the court calls the people who grew up here as Nanban Zi and Ge Fang, who are uncivilized.

How can an uncivilized person have such a high level of understanding and talent? Zhang Cambodia opened the history book and wanted to find the answer. The New Tang Dynasty Book? There is an account in Nanban: There are fangs in Rong and Lu, and they live in the valley and forests, more than hundreds of miles. The vulgar likes to rebel, fights with a license, serves the chief as the king, and calls the Po Neng, and plants the flag before and after;

"Book of Jin" volume 121 "Li Shi Ji" cloud: At the beginning, there was no fang in the soil of Shu, and some began to come out of the mountains, north to Qianwei and Zitong, and spread in the valley, more than ten thousand falls, which cannot be banned, and are greatly troubled by the people. The area where the wingmen are distributed is extremely large;

"Taiping Yulan" volume 168 quotes "Siyi County Daoji" cloud: When Li Tesun was shou, there were more than 100,000 fangs from the South Vietnamese Shu Han Dynasty, scattered in the valley, and Insiliu. It can be proved that the fangs are mainly from the South Vietnamese Shu Han, and the route passes through the Zige group. The Gelao are a single ethnic group that diverged from the Fang tribe in the Tang Dynasty.

……

However, Zhang Cambodia couldn't find the answer from the vast history books, and in his contemplation, he thought of Liang Shiyuan. So, Zhang Cambodia went to visit Liang Shiyuan alone.

Zhang Cambodia rode through a stone bridge, and met the child who was in the river that day and Xiucai's couplet, and heard Liang Shiyuan mention that the child's name was Liang Shurong, saying that he was very talented......

Zhang Cambodia wanted to try this child, so he beat the horse across the bridge, deliberately pretending to be evil and said: "Liang Shurong, people call you a prodigy, if you can use the 'bridge' as the theme, you will be spared, if you can't chant, please lead me across the bridge." ”

Liang Shurong has always been quick-witted, touching the scene, and chanted loudly:

Say goodbye to the bridge, say goodbye, sigh for the journey, cross the bridge and enter the end of the world;

ushered in the left of the road, pretending to be the present, seeing the old people, holding hands and doubting the dream.

When Zhang Cambodia heard this, he was so shocked that he had nothing to say, turned his horse's head and left.

Zhang Cambodia walked a stone's throw away, and suddenly thought: I happened to meet today, how could I miss it? How about waiting for the old man to turn his head and test his true talent again?!

So, Zhang Cambodia turned his horse's head and returned to the stone bridge, only to see Liang Shurong playing with several village children on the bridge.

The children who were playing with Liang Shurong fled when they saw someone riding a horse running over, but Liang Shurong stayed there and did not leave.

Zhang Cambodia saw that Liang Shurong had a calm attitude and outstanding appearance, so he talked to him.

Liang Shurong asked, "Why did you go and return?" ”

Zhang Cambodia replied: "I want to have a long connection with you, but I don't know what to do?" ”

Liang Shurong replied: "Please advise." ”

Zhang Cambodia's outing:

The breeze and drizzle blow out thousands of needles, and it is difficult to fill the huge waves of the Yangtze River. Taste the breadth of the lake, the breadth of the east, the breadth of the west, travel all over the country, climb the mountains and view the twelve peaks, watch the mountains and the sea and watch the sun and the moon, the resort is rare, and see the gorgeous scene.

Liang Shurong was not in a hurry, and then said:

Banyi Hanru, read all the five classics and four books, and the stomach is full of tricks. It can be the yuan of the solution, the yuan of the meeting, the yuan of the champion, the three yuan of the lianzhong, the eighteen bachelors of the Han Yuan, for the country and the people for the world, the meritorious service, and the splendid article in the belly.

Zhang Cambodia was shocked. I can't imagine that the rustic southern Gefang would come out with such a superior lower couplet, which is the essence of the 57-character long couplet! Zhang Cambodia faintly felt that the child in front of him was a Confucian magic weapon given by the sky to Lingnan Xinzhou.

For so many years, Zhang Cambodia has never seen someone with such profound learning at such an age. Now, when he first arrived, he met this Nanban boy in this Nanban land, and he spoke extraordinarily as soon as he met, which shows that he has a wisdom root, and he has more extraordinary potential at the bottom of the heart lake. After this face, Zhang Khan Zhida felt a liking for this Nanban boy in his heart, but he knew very well that the weight of every expression in front of him would cause consequences, so he did not express this opinion.

From Liang Shurong's demeanor and conversational couplet, Zhang Cambodia seemed to see himself as a teenager, and couldn't help but praise in his heart: A poor family produces a filial son, and adversity produces a genius!

Liang Shurong saw that Zhang Cambodia was silent, and continued: "The pearl mussel is not good-looking, because of the breeding of the sea, it often has priceless pearls hidden in its belly. Liquan Zhicao has no roots, but it absorbs the aura of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon and becomes a treasure in the world. After Liang Shurong finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Cambodia standing in front of the horse and asked respectfully, "My lord, you have probably heard the ancient saying 'Daze rises from the dragon and snake', right?"

Zhang Cambodia did not answer directly, but asked with a flat expression: "How many juvenile books have you read?"

Liang Shurong waved his hand and said frankly: "My father died when I was three years old, and I was raised by my mother's hard work. Because his family was poor, he never went to the school to study, so he went up the mountain to collect firewood during the day, picked up the bazaar and sold it to buy some rice oil to serve his mother at home, and had time to listen to the Ninth Uncle's School. ”

Zhang Cambodia felt and said: "You are also quite good at talking." ”

Liang Shurong said sincerely: "I have not seen anything in the world, my experience is shallow, and my knowledge is short, but what I said just now is all my heartfelt words. ”

Zhang Cambodia was puzzled: "You haven't entered the academy and read books, how can you export in pairs?"

Liang Shurong's eyes flickered, and he pointed to his chest: "I came out from my heart." ”

Zhang Cambodia wanted to have a further in-depth conversation with Liang Shurong, but when he saw that a few businessmen-looking people were rushing over in front of him, he didn't say anything more and waved his hand: "You do your work." ”

"Good!" Liang Shurong bowed respectfully to Zhang Cambodia and nodded, that is, he turned around and walked towards the north of the village, and after walking more than ten steps, he turned his head suddenly, with spring in the corner of his mouth, and smiled at Zhang Cambodia.

Zhang Cambodia's heart is hot: This Lingnan Xinzhou plays firewood, the appearance is simple and honest, and it is a little straightforward; But it is intelligent in the heart and wise in wisdom. First meeting. Dare to challenge authority, straightforward nature, how similar his nature is to his own youth. It seems that there is another successor to the great cause of Confucianism.

Zhang Cambodia left the stone bridge, jumped on the horse and whipped his whip, and came to a Xinjiang cave entrance wharf, but saw the river around Xinjiang, Wupeng boats and sailboats were constantly coming and going, and fishing boats were moored here in groups, which was very lively.

Zhang Cambodia was attracted by the scenery here, and couldn't help but stop his horse to enjoy it. At this time, I saw that the sun was in the sky, and the rough mountain songs sounded on the mountains on both sides of the new river, and the fisherman girl on the river also stood on the bow of the boat and sang the fishing song:

Be careful on the mountain,

Tigers, leopards, jackals will hurt people,

Brother fetches firewood hard,

Wait for my sister to catch a big fish and give it to my brother to cook.

The elder brother on the mountain also sang a duet:

The golden phoenix shouted to the phoenix,

I understand my sister's heart,

May my sister sneak into the Dragon Palace,

Catch a dragon brother and cook.

Zhang Cambodia felt novel, so he turned to the girl who sang the mountain song just now: "Dare to ask the girl, did you sing a duet with your lover on the mountain just now?" ”

When the fisherman girl heard this, she laughed and said, "No. Every day, our fishermen and the firewood boy on the mountain sing and harmonize. ”

After the girl finished speaking, she saw that Zhang Cambodia did not seem to be a local and was not familiar with the people and things nearby, so she told him a story related to the song.

When I was a child, I heard my grandfather tell me that there was a fisherman girl named Li Jiangying, who got up every morning and dressed up and stood on the bow of the boat and sang fishing songs to the mountain. There is a firewood boy in a nearby village, surnamed Zhang Daqing, who also goes up the mountain to chop firewood every morning. Whenever he heard Jiang Ying's singing, he sang in duet. They come and go, expressing their love with their songs.

One day, Jiang Ying asked Daqing to meet her on the boat, and Aqing agreed. When the two meet, it is like a dry firewood, just a little bit. Just as the two of them were sitting side by side, they were seen by Jiang Ying's father. He became angry for a while, and scolded his daughter: "A firewood boy, there is no food every day, if you marry him, will you not suffer for a lifetime?" I will never agree to this family business! After scolding, he lifted the boat and hit Jiang Ying. Jiang Ying snatched the pulp of the boat and folded it into two sections. Lost in the river. Jiang Ying's resistance aroused Daddy's indignation even more, and he turned his anger on Daqing and pushed him down the river. Daqing, who collects firewood, is good at climbing mountains, but has never learned to swim. He gulped down the river and soon sank to the bottom. Jiang Ying saw it in her eyes and felt pain in her heart, she jumped into the river to save Daqing, and soon rescued Daqing ashore, picked it up and left. Deep in the forest, she untied Daqing's wet clothes and sucked the water out of his stomach mouth-to-mouth. Then light a fire and bake his clothes. Daqing woke up and saw himself lying next to Jiang Ying, and immediately understood everything. He said bitterly: "Sister Ying, your father doesn't agree, then forget it." Go back quickly, lest anyone else talk about it. Jiang Ying didn't wait for him to finish, so he hurriedly said: "Brother Daqing, my heart already belongs to you, and no one can stop it." Wait for me to go home with you, tell my parents, and get married tomorrow! Daqing saw her resolute attitude, so she had no choice but to agree. Jiang Ying sang a love song in a low voice while baking clothes for him:

"Brother is a tree, I am a vine, and the vine grows up by the tree;

I rely on my brother to live a lifetime, and I love and love for a long time! “

When Da Qing heard this, his heart was sweet, his face was hot, and he couldn't help but hug her tighter. The two of them made a lifelong promise in this forest.

But when they happily went home and proposed to Daqing's parents to get married, who knew that they were full of unhappiness: "Our ancestors have no one in the eighteenth generation to marry the 'Dan sister' rule, you two want to get married, we absolutely disagree, you still die of this heart!" When Jiang Ying heard this, tears fell like rain, and Daqing was also very painful. They both knelt down and begged bitterly, but Daqing's parents didn't agree. They have nowhere to complain, but they are inseparable, they swear to heaven that they cannot become dependents in life, and they must be married in pairs when they die, so they jumped off the river with their arms in their arms.

Not long after they jumped, a pair of mandarin ducks appeared on the river, playing with each other. Sometimes, they flew up the hill together and cooed. From that time on, the river at the mouth of the cave resounded from time to time with such a duet:

"Brother is a tree, I am a vine, and the vine is entangled in the tree and is not separated;

My brother and I are going to get married, live and die together! ”

"My sister is a vine to a tree, and the vine is entangled with a tree until death;

It's hateful that my father and mother are too confused and kill a good couple! ”

The singing is euphemistic and sad, and the listeners are all in tears. Whenever people hear this bleak song after a tea meal, it reminds people of this unhappy couple. Their stories have been passed down to this day.
