"Zhuangzi? Is he a Zhuangzi? Another person in the crowd exclaimed.

"Zhuangzi? Who is Zhuangzi? Someone asked again.

"Who is Zhuangzi?"

"Who is Zhuangzi?"

Really! Those natives in the ravines and ravines have little knowledge, and not many people have heard of Zhuangzi and don't know who Zhuangzi is.

"How do you know he's a Zhuangzi?" Someone else asked.

The man who found out that it was Zhuangzi said thoughtfully: "The legendary Zhuangzi, he has an obvious characteristic, that is: his cheekbones are prominent, and he is thin. Medium build, large skeleton. And also! He had a few sparse beards on his cheeks and chin. ”

"Then why didn't you recognize him just now?" Someone asked suspiciously.

The man looked in the direction of Zhuangzi's walk and saw that Zhuangzi was long gone. said: "Zhuangzi has another obvious characteristic! That is: he didn't wear his clothes well! His family is very poor and has no money! So! He's dressed in tatters......"

Someone interrupted: "Zhuangzi is so famous and talented, how can he be poor?" ”

"You don't know that! Because! He is the inheritor of Taoist doctrine. Taoism emphasizes integration into society, integration into life, and living like those around you. So! He scattered all his money and wealth to the poor people around him......"

"That? Isn't Taoism stupid? ”

"That's it! It is! I have money, why should I give it to others? I can't improve my life, can I? Isn't it? ”

"That's it! It is! Then he deserves to be poor! ”

The people in the Lingyang Mountain area still don't understand the Taoist doctrine, and they can't accept it one by one, thinking that Zhuangzi is stupid and that there is something wrong with the Taoist doctrine.

The man quickly explained, "How can this be called a life of poverty? What's so bad about living like everyone around you? Everyone around us has passed, why can't we live? Isn't it? Your family is living a better life than others, and others will definitely be jealous of you. Your family eats well, others don't eat, and those who don't eat don't hate you? Isn't it? ”

"What I have to eat is my ability! I earned it through hard work, prosperity, and hardship. What others don't have to eat is because others are lazy, and others don't work! Someone objected.

"That's it! It is! Someone chimed in.

The man patiently explained, "Wrong! Some people don't have food because they don't work hard and don't work! But! Social Issues! For example, when war comes, natural disasters and man-made disasters come, they don't have anything to eat, it's possible! And only a part of the people, they don't eat because they are lazy. So! Don't generalize!

In our Lingyang Mountain area, because the people here are naturally short, and the men are almost like sick people, and they have no strength, so they don't need to serve in the military. So! Our talents in Lingyang Mountain have lived a peaceful life. And in the plains, where the men are tall and strong, they are required to serve in the military. The people there, those who have no labor at home, are very poor......"

Under this person's explanation, the onlookers understood.

The outside world is huge! How do these natives in the ravines know so much?

It's true! The people here are similar to the frogs at the bottom of the well, and they only see the sky in the area of Lingyang Mountain.

"Yes, yes, yes! I remember! I remember! In the crowd, another person screamed.

"What do you remember?" The people around him were startled when they saw him and asked.

"I remember! He is the ship god of our Chu country! ”

"The god of ships?"

"The ship god of the Chu Kingdom?"

"He? He? He? ”

Under this person's reminder, many people who have been out and those who have been on the boat have remembered it. It seems that in the cabin of the ship's family, there seems to be a portrait of this person? Seems to be? Kind of?

"Yes, yes, yes! He is the god of ships! Ship God! At the reminder of that person, someone remembered again.

"Yes, yes, yes! He's exactly like the god of ships! ”

"Yes, yes, yes! The god of ships is Zhuangzi! Zhuangzi is the god of ships! In the crowd, someone wanted to respond.

"How is the god of ships Zhuangzi?" Someone didn't know why, so they asked.

"This? I can't tell! ”

The man thought for a moment and said, "I heard! At that time, the merchant ships on the river encountered river bandits. There were many bandits in the river, and they killed people when they saw them, and seeing that everyone was going to die in battle, at this time, the ship god appeared and saved everyone. Everyone turned defeat into victory and defeated the Jiang bandits.

Afterward! Everyone drew the face of the person who saved him as a memorial. And then later! Everyone knows! The god of the ship looks very similar to Zhuangzi. Afterward! The boatmen of the Chu State regarded this person who saved them as the god of ships. Later, all the shippers regarded him as the god of the ship and worshipped him......"

"Oh?" Someone let out a long "oh".

Some people also asked, "Can't you say that?" Just to show that the ship god looks like Zhuangzi, not necessarily Zhuangzi? ”

"That's it! It is! ”

Just when everyone was talking behind their backs, Zhuangzi left the town and continued to rush in the direction of his son Yanghu.

He didn't expect that in the area of Lingyang Mountain, there were still many people who knew about him, but no one woke him up.

Originally! Awakening is so important!

You have influence, but you are not awakened, you are hidden, as if you have no influence.

The locals in the area of Lingyang Mountain know that there are not many people in his Zhuangzi, but the area around Lingyang Mountain is suitable for seclusion, and many people from all over the world of the Great Zhou have moved. Most of these people who moved here had seen the world and knew about Zhuangzi and Taoism.

After three days of pursuit, Zhuangzi rushed to the town of his son Yanghu.

The small towns around Lingyang Mountain are not very big, and they are all half-day markets. But! During this half day, there were a lot of people and business was very developed. The "natives" living in the ravines and ravines will get up early to bring their own souvenirs to the market, and then go home with the goods they bought around noon.

Since it is a bit of a distance from the town, it is not easy for people who live in the ravine to get out. So! It's hard to come out once, and you will buy a lot of things when you come out. Back and forth, basically a day has passed.

Because! When they came back in the afternoon, they were all tired and too lazy to work.

Usually people who come back from the market are talking to their families and neighbors about the news they have seen at the market. There seems to be endless news, and those who didn't go to the market are envious.

After inquiring about Yang Hu's whereabouts, Zhuangzi looked for him.

He hadn't seen his son in person for twenty years, and Zhuangzi was very excited. Though! He had already seen his son through the inward world, but after all, he was not in the real world.

Thinking of letting his son come to Lingyang Mountain of Chu State alone to avoid the military service of the Song State, Zhuangzi still felt indebted to his son.
