Shuanghui ham, which was given as a gift by Lei Jun, was distributed by Confucius to the students that night to make food. Everyone was amazed by the deliciousness of ham, because none of them had ever tasted such delicious meat.

It is natural that there could be no MSG and pepper in the Spring and Autumn Period, let alone other additives, but the human tongue has hardly changed for thousands of years, and the natural plant spices collected by hand cannot be compared with the strong stimulation brought by modern processed food.

That night, after everyone had fallen asleep, Lei Jun and Fang Wuying quietly got up, activated the instruments they had brought with them, and began the overhaul and survey work. Fortunately, everyone ran around all day and slept soundly, no one noticed their movements, Lei Jun and Fang Wuying were busy until the second half of the night, and only then did they complete one-third of their workload.

The next day, it was another long journey, and the weather was still very hot, and as soon as the sun came out, the field was hot to roast the dead. It stands to reason that by the end of autumn, modern society has long been less hot, but the climate of Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period is completely different from the modern climate.

At that time, the human footprint was still very slow, and plants and wildlife were still the bosses of the planet. Even in Henan Province, there are tropical rainforests, and every day is either exposed to the sun or torrential rain, almost equivalent to the Amazon jungle in South America. Even in the rare plains, there are wild beasts roaming around, and humans have no choice but to hide......

The climate and temperature are all good to say, and during the observation last night, Xiao Yang and they also raised a serious question: When they encounter a beast, do they want to kill it?

"Nonsense! If you don't kill it, you're waiting to die? Li Jianguo said.

"What if it's a South China tiger?" Xiao Yang said, "Team deputy, that is the country's cherished and protected animal, if you want to kill it, I ...... I don't have enough confidence. ”

"If it's a South China tiger, you can take a picture with it." Xiao laughed in a low voice, "You can laugh at Zhou Zhenglong when you go back." ”

"That'...... What if it's a giant panda? Xiao Yang said slowly, "The giant pandas in this period still maintain a carnivorous temperament." ”

"What nonsense?" Fang Wuying, who was originally staring at the meter, suddenly threw over, "In this rainforest swamp area of Henan Province now, there are no giant pandas." Do you think the panda is a kappa? ”

"That's right." Xiao Yang thought for a while, "But captain, if we go to the Bashu area next time......"

"First of all, when the time comes, and secondly, it chases you, won't you run away?" Fang Wuying rolled his eyes, "You can't even run away from a panda, what kind of special forces are you!" ”

"Okay, but if it's the South China Tiger who pounces......"

"You can kill." Fang Wuying said succinctly, "At least the South China tiger before the Ming Dynasty was far from extinct, and now its number is probably more than the population of the Chu State, and legitimate defense is legitimate." ”

"That's good! Wait until I remove the tiger bones and go back to make wine for you......"

"Be quiet." Lei Jun reminded, "I will wake them up, that young white head has insomnia at first glance." ”

Xiao Yang didn't dare to say anything anymore, and several people buried themselves in work.

"...... It's hot to death, this hood. Lei Jun said sullenly, "It would be great if I could be completely bald." ”

Xiao laughed: "If you really can't do it, you can take off your wig, and watch the prickly heat on your neck rub out." ”

"Am I stupid? Take off the hood and show Confucius my bare braincase? Lei Jun was even more depressed, "He will treat me as a criminal." ”

The ancients believed that the hair and skin of the body were given by parents and should not be damaged, and for some minor offenders, the government would shave their hair as punishment, and this criminal law was called "sage".

"Well, I've thought about this too, so you can say that you're a ghost shaving your head, are you sick......"

Fang Wuying looked at Lei Jun: "Dude, you are already much better, those of us who already have hair, put on a hood to call it a heat, you at least have ventilation in there......"

"Nonsense!" Lei Jun scolded viciously, "The wig is attached to the scalp, and there is no hair in the middle, so it's hot!" ”

"Go back to Lingju and ask for a high temperature subsidy." Fang Wuying adjusted the frequency of the instrument, and looked at him sympathetically, "If she doesn't approve it, you can show her your prickly heat, and she will approve it." ”

Lei Jun didn't say anything, he reached out and scratched the back of his neck, and the sweat dripping down made the prickly heat stinging and painful.

The next day, Lei Jun's condition was not very good, Yan Hui asked him to sit in the car, but Lei Jun refused, he said that he "how can he share a ride with the teacher".

In fact, Lei Jun would rather walk, the big car did not have rubber tires, and the bumps were almost not something that a modern person could bear, and he sat in it and was bumped up for twenty minutes, and he was so dizzy that he didn't want to vomit anything but vomit.

They can't even drink water with Confucius's disciples, and the intestines and stomachs of modern people have been modified by the modern environment to resist bleach but not bacteria. The mountain spring in the stream is a little better, just find a ditch to get the water in it to drink, Yan Hui is okay with them, if Lei Jun drinks a few more times, he will have to be sent to the hospital.

They staggered all morning, and at noon, the group finally came to the destination of Se Township, Chu Guoku, where it is said that Lao Tzu lives.

Along the way, he inquired about Lao Tzu's residence from the mouths of farmers and shepherd boys, and Confucius also abandoned the car at this time, and walked forward on foot like his disciples to show respect.

When he came to Lao Tzu's residence, Confucius first asked his disciples to knock on the door, and after a long time, a little boy came out and said in a crisp voice: "Sir already knows that you are coming, and you are waiting in the house." ”

"You are here, I heard that you are a sage in the north, have you found the road of the world?"

This is Lao Tzu's first sentence, and Confucius's answer is: "It is precisely because there is no yet, that I have asked you for advice." ”

The conversation between the two great sages took place in the inner room, and Lei Jun and the other disciples of Confucius were waiting outside.

Through the thin bamboo curtains, Lei Jun could see the two old men kneeling on straw mats, and he could even hear Lao Tzu's voice, which was a very different accent from Confucius, and it was clearly spoken from a mouth with many missing teeth......

“…… Look at the white birds, as long as they look at each other and their eyes don't move, they will naturally get pregnant, what about insects? The upper hand has the male calling, the lower wind has the female responding, and there will also be pregnancy, nature cannot be changed, fate cannot be changed, timing cannot be intercepted, and truth cannot be blocked. ……”

“…… My brain is already clogged. Fang Wuying whispered to Lei Jun, "What is he talking about!" ”

"That's what he really thought." Lei Jun also whispered, "Can you instill biological knowledge with the ancients?" ”

"Otherwise, how can we say that the work of popularizing science is urgent." Fang Wuying muttered in a very low voice.

Lei Jun quietly reached out to wipe the sweat from his neck, and he began to doubt Confucius's patience.

What Lao Tzu said, all these mysterious and mysterious things, these topics, for Confucius, a doer who is enthusiastic about social transformation, is tantamount to floating clouds, in Lei Jun's eyes, this floating clouds are about to slowly transform into a "sleep" word, such a hot day, at noon, Confucius honestly knelt there and listened to a large number of floating clouds, fifty or sixty years old, can he really stand it?

Sure enough, after the conversation lasted for a while, the voices in the room stopped, and after a long time, no one said anything more.

Are they all asleep? Lei Jun thought, trying to suppress a yawn. He looked sideways at Fang Wuying, the guy was completely sleepwalking with his eyes open.

Zilu couldn't sit still, he wanted to see what the two old men were sitting stupidly in, and he didn't want to be seen by the people inside.

"Are those your students?" Lao Tzu said, "Please let them come in too." ”

The disciples rushed in, including Lei Jun and the five of them. After saluting in turn, they all sat down behind Confucius.

Lao Tzu was obviously older than Confucius, and this was the first thought that popped up when Lei Jun met the owner of the house. Lao Tzu really looks so old, saying that hundreds of years old will be believed that his body has been dried and thinned into shrimp, and his face is full of deep wrinkles, making his face look as if it is made of rattan, but a pair of eyes are still shining, not cloudy.

"This is all your high feet? Very good, I heard that there are birds named phoenixes in the south, eating beautiful jade, and there are three-headed weirdos Lizhu guarding the food for it, isn't the phoenix bird just like you? ”

"You've won a prize." Confucius looked back at the students, and it was clear that he was also satisfied.

But I didn't want Lao Tzu to continue: "I heard that when there is no way in the world, the phoenix bird will never appear in the world, and you, in this troubled world, why do you have to run around in panic and refuse to stay for a moment?" ”

“……”

"If you want me to see, in such a world, you should avoid crowds, teach or write books, that is the most important thing for you to do!"
