Chapter 43: Nuwa Mends the Heavens
The Di tribe strangely became silent.
Days have passed since the commotion at the execution ground, but the tribe is still dead and has not been able to emerge from the shadows of that incident. Originally, Mao Changdi wanted to kill Taijia's parents, but halfway through, it became Taijia to kill Mao Changdi?
And the most terrifying thing is that Mao Qiu Luo came to ask for the guilt in person, but he was scolded back by Tai Jia, and he didn't even dare to let go of a fart! Coupled with the extremely ambiguous attitude of Biya and Gong Changqiu, everyone didn't dare to make irresponsible remarks about Taijia anymore.
However, to their surprise, the Thai Armor allowed them to remake paper, although they don't know why, but Enwei and Shi, everyone did not dare to say that the Thai Armor was not, and honestly began to make paper.
Why do you do this only with Taijia - nonsense, there are two percent of his interests in the contract, and if you can't get along with anything, don't get along with money!
As for these fart people who are grass on the wall, Taijia has not bothered to care about their life or death since then, perhaps this is also a change in his heart. Or maybe this is the mentality of those in power, the so-called common people, it is not worth it for him to bend down and do too much.
He was originally a civilian who was willing to change this era, but he found that this could not be changed for a while. Since this is the case, he can only change the policy, whether it is to strengthen himself and strengthen the people, or to strengthen the people and strengthen himself, he must have a goal after all.
Although the people are stupid, they are the foundation of the great cause. If you lose the people, you will lose the people and the world. This is a troubled time, he has no leisure to educate the people, and he has no intention of respecting Confucianism. He can make these people rich, but only if he is in power.
If he is not in power, he is too lazy to care about their life and death!
That's right, he just wants to use people, take advantage of the people's hearts, and only when he really needs them, will he humbly cultivate - the ancient kings, how many are not like this?
β¦β¦
In Gong Changqiu's room, he was wheezing in a sluggish breath, with a high fever that did not go away, and Yi Yue, who was taking care of him, was sweating profusely. Gong Changqiu was dispensing medicine on the side, and said softly: "After the high fever subsides, his condition may improve, but when he wakes up, he finds that he has a broken hand, and he may ......."
couldn't bear to say anything, but Taijia said: "It's good to cut off your hand!" I think no matter how much he keeps moving, he will beat his mother! β
"Thai armor!" Yiyue scolded, and Taijia stopped talking.
The sequelae of complications after amputation are not trivial matters for the Thai Armor, as long as there are enough Chinese herbs on the mountain, the Thai Armor can ensure that the wounded survive. But when Taijia learned about Gengwu's behavior after he left, he didn't want to save him at all, and even wanted to kill him with a sword at that time!
Originally, Taijia still retained a trace of family affection, but who knew that this guy was acting more and more in the direction of a domestic violence man - the most intolerable thing for Taijia was that he made Yiyue cry and was afraid! What kind of man is a husband who makes a wife afraid?
"It's your fate to survive!" Taijia complained in his heart.
Maybe he is rebellious, or maybe he is born with a backbone, in short, even in the face of his "biological father", if he does something that infringes on his own or his mother's interests, he will regard him as an enemy.
Although it is impossible for him to kill the titular Lao Tzu and fall into the name of unfilial piety, he still dares to scold him.
"Big brother, are you there?"
A childish voice suddenly sounded at the door, and everyone followed the voice, it was an apricot husband. If it is actually calculated, Taijia and Xingfu have not seen each other for more than a year, and for a while, the former did not recognize each other.
"Apricot? Hurry up...... Uh, Elder? β
Yiyue suddenly remembered that this was Gong Changqiu's house, and hurriedly asked for instructions, Gong Changqiu chuckled, nodded, and still did his own thing.
Xingfu timidly entered the house, looked up and saw Taijia, just about to say something, but like a fish in his throat, he twisted for a long time, and finally leaned towards Yiyue.
Taijia didn't know what to say, and scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Auntie, I thought ...... I can't see you anymore! Xingfu looked at Yiyue, and a sour feeling welled up in his heart.
"Silly girl, isn't that all right?" Yiyue smiled and touched Xingfu's head, not wanting him to worry more, "Your eldest brother is back, don't you want to say hello to him?" β
"I ...... I don't know what to say......"
Yi Yue scolded with a smile: "You will be our daughter-in-law sooner or later, how can you not know how to talk to him?" β
Xingfu blushed instantly, and Taijia chuckled, this little girl is still very shy as before.
Yiyue patted Taijia's head and scolded: "What are you laughing at, your daughter-in-law doesn't take care of herself, are you still waiting for your mother to help you?" β
"Uh......"
Taijia is also very depressed, if he treats Xingfu as a little girl, it will be fine, but if he knows that he is his fiancΓ©e...... It doesn't feel the same anymore. Taijia has never been in love, and he always feels embarrassed to be alone with her.
Why did you think of that joke in the first place?
"Hmm...... Xingfu, I haven't finished telling you the story last time, so let's get out......"
Xingfu lowered his head and said a soft "um", and honestly went out with Taijia.
"Alas, it's good to be young!" Gong Changqiu sighed with a smile.
Yiyue smiled: "When they become adults, they will get married...... Will the elders be able to marry at that time? β
"If I had lived until then, it would have been natural......"
β¦β¦
Walking on the road, no one dared to look at the Thai armor, even though it was just a child, but thinking of his majesty a few days ago, I couldn't help but feel that I was one level lower.
A ginkgo forest is located in the northern forest of the tribe, the ginkgo in summer is a dark green, and the trees on the side are not much different, if it is autumn, a piece of yellowed ginkgo falls to the ground, fluttering, wonderful and extraordinary.
Thai Jia likes ginkgo biloba very much, it represents tenacity, pure love, and the eternity of love. In fact, he would prefer that the apricot husband be called the apricot, and the latter husband is very redundant. If he can, Taijia hopes to help Xingfu get a surname and take Xingfu as his name, otherwise he will always be a lowly identity.
Sitting under the ginkgo tree, the two twisted for a while, but after all, they were partners who played from childhood to adulthood, and the conversation box opened at once.
"Big brother, where have you been all this year?" Xingfu complained, "I can't find any women somewhere, do you?" β
Taijia scratched his nose and said, "How old are you little kid, you think about women and not women!" If the eldest brother really goes to find a woman, what will you do? β
"Humph! I won't tell you! Xingfu pouted, "When the time comes, you really find a woman to come back and use my words to trick me!" β
Taijia smiled awkwardly, and she didn't know if Hotaru was the woman in her mouth...... It shouldn't count, that's his sister.
He told Apricot everything that happened after he was kicked out of the tribe, and of course, he concealed Hotaru's existence, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to predict what Apricot would think.
Xingfu lowered his head helplessly and muttered, "I can't even help my eldest brother do anything......"
Taijia directly greeted him with a brain and said with a smile: "Silly girl, you just stay behind me honestly, where do you need to help me?" β
"Woo......"
"What are you crying about? If you cry again, I won't tell you stories! β
ββ¦β¦ Hey! Xingfu smiled instantly, as cheerful as a sunflower.
Tygar straightened her hair and began to tell the story. Although he didn't finish the last time he finished the Romance of the Gods, after all, it has been too long, and Xingfu may have forgotten everything, so he can only change the topic, regardless of the impact of the "eunuch" on others.
Taijia thought about it for a long time, there are too few stories about the pre-Qin period, and there are basically no novels except for "Romance of the Gods". The timeline of all the novels of the four famous novels has not arrived, and even "Journey to the West" started in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
"Hmm...... Huh! Pregnant! I'll tell you the story of 'Nuwa mending the sky'! β
That's right, in addition to the Romance of the Gods, there are a lot of myths and stories to tell! What "Kuafu Chasing the Sun", "Houyi Shooting the Sun", even the monsters in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" can be taken out to compile stories!
And whether it is Nuwa, Gonggong, Zhurong or any other god, they are all gods believed in by the tribe, and Nuwa represents fertility worship. The story of Nuwa mending the sky is recorded in "Liezi", "Classic of Mountains and Seas" and other works, although the pre-Qin people may know more or less, but it is still no problem to coax a child.
"In ancient times, the four Optimus Pillars toppled down, the earth of Kyushu was torn apart, the sky could not cover the earth, and the earth could not carry all things......"
Taijia may be naturally suitable for storytelling, and the short story of Nuwa mending the sky is told by him vividly, as if it is right in front of him. Xingfu is immersive, in front of him is the sky, a woman with a snake tail and a human body works tirelessly, using colorful divine stones to make up for the leakage of the sky. But when he heard that Nuwa had finally succeeded in mending the sky, but unfortunately died of exhaustion, his face was extremely gloomy, as if his mother had died......
Seeing her crying, Taijia hurriedly comforted: "Don't cry, Nuwa fell into our Shu land after her death, so we were born." Although Nuwa died, at least she died without regrets, and there was nothing to cry about. β
"Is that so?" Xingfu asked incredulously.
"That's it! I'll tell you the story of 'Nuwa created man'......"
"Isn't Nuwa dead?"
"This is the story before Nuwa mends the sky."
Taijia talked about it again, and after talking about Nuwa's creation of men and women for her own convenience, Xingfu's face turned red, she had long known about men and women from her mother, and she was inevitably shy when she heard this.
The sunset is gradually setting, and the rich sunlight is shining from the west mountain, which is no longer hot and dry, and it is very warm. And the story told by Taijia and Xingfu is slowly coming to an end.
Suddenly, a voice behind him said leisurely: "What a wonderful story! I wonder what kind of genius the person who created this story is? β
