Adventures in Heaven (novel) Zhang Baotong

After the meeting, I thought I would be able to get out of prison soon and be able to go back to Yilan's side to help her with some farm work. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info It is now the season of mountain flowers, and it is also the solar term when farmers are busy in the fields. The next morning, however, just after breakfast, one of the palace guards opened the iron door, showed me a royal document signed by the king, and said, "Please go on your way." "Before I could even read the text, the guard put it away. I asked, "Where are you going?" The guard replied a little arrogantly, "You'll know when you get there." I said, "The king and the council have acquitted me of sin, and let me go." But the guard said, "We are just doing according to this royal letter." "I'm going to look at the text again, but the guard looked impatient, and said, "Get on your way, it's a long way, and I'll have to get back before dark." "I had to follow him out of the cell.

When I passed by the palace chamber, I saw that the surroundings were deserted and silent. I would love to see the princess again, but it seems impossible. When I went down to the suspension bridge of the palace, I saw Genyuan talking to the guards on duty, and I wanted to talk to him. Gengaki told me that he had gone to the Yuntai Council to become the owner of the village. Maybe he had changed his clothes, or maybe the light in the hall wasn't too bright, but I didn't notice him in the proceedings. Gengaki also told me that the guard who escorted me was originally a guard in the village, and that he had just entered the palace, and asked the guard to take care of me. At that point, the guard was immediately much more polite to me.

On the way, I asked the guards where they were going to escort me. He said that the royal text said that he had sent me to the palace ranch for three months. I had never heard of a ranch in the palace, so I asked him about the ranch in the palace. He said that he had just entered the palace and was not very familiar with the palace ranch, but he had been to the ranch once a long time ago. The pasture is used for grazing wild goats. The wild goats were caught from the mountains and raised in pastures. If someone in the palace has committed a violation, and the circumstances are not too serious, they will generally be sent to the pasture for grazing. Hearing him say this, my resentment suddenly became much less. Originally, I thought that the king and the council had deposed me, and they should give me back my freedom, but they did not want to send me to a foreign land for punishment in disguise.

After noon, we finally passed through the last settlement in the narrow slopes of the kingdom of heaven, and had a simple meal at a farmer's house, and then entered a lake area formed by the convergence of glaciers and hot rivers. The breeze in the lake is light, the sun is clear, the water is clear, the wild ducks are flakes, and flocks of birds fly up from the surface of the lake from time to time, flying freely towards the distance. The lake is a green field dyed green by spring, fresh and green, refreshing to the eye, like a dreamlike land of the Wizard of Oz.

In such a wonderful scenery, it is as if all the worries and sorrows are suddenly blown away by the breeze, and become bright and pure, and incomparably open. There is a curved path on the edge of the lake, which shimmers forward in the high and low slopes between the lakes, and then leads us to a wide, silent green valley between the two mountains. There is a white hut on the leeward side of the pass, which is exactly the same as the one where Yunshan recuperated and lived. Standing in front of the hut and looking into the valley, I saw many white wild goats leisurely eating grass in the green valley like floating white clouds. It can be seen that these wild goats have long been domesticated by this excellent environment. It's no wonder that an excellent environment is itself an optimal way to domesticate. In other words, in the increasingly highly developed society of modern civilization, people's wildness and instinct are gradually weakening and degenerating, and simplicity and emotion are being replaced by highly materialistic emptiness and pleasure, which is why people are eager to go out of the house and seek solace and spiritual home everywhere. Yes, if my hometown also had heavenly beauty and customs, would I still have traveled thousands of miles to come here? However, these wild goats are lucky, their environment is not much different from their wild home, but they do not have the wild and freedom that they are all about.

The hut was open, but there was no one. The guard asked me to go with him into the valley to find someone. He was ordered to bring the man back to the palace. I asked, "Who are the shepherds who used to be here?" The guard told me, "It was a palace guard who had been sent here for more than a year because a beautiful woman from Qinghe Village had a fight with a young man in the village and injured him in the head." ”

As we walked into the heart of the valley, a man stood up from the edge of the valley stream, waved his arms vigorously at us, and called out in the voice of a flock of sheep. This man has unkempt hair and sloppy clothes, and from a distance he looks like an old man named Hanako. It wasn't until we walked up to him in a hurry that he stopped yelling. The guard walked up to him and handed him a warrant. He looked at it for a moment, then shook his head as if he didn't understand. The guard said, "His Majesty wants me to take you back to the palace." The guard repeated the words two or three times before he understood, and then he hugged the guard and began to cry. The guard patted him on the shoulder, pushed him away, and said, "It's getting late, go back to the house and get ready to come back with me." The shepherds roared with joy like idiots. From him, I realized that loneliness and loneliness were so terrible.

As the guard walked away with the poor shepherd, he again emphasized to me, "You must stay here for these three months, and do not leave, or you will be punished as a fugitive." "What a long ordeal it must have been to spend three months alone on this uninhabited pasture! The last time I was recuperating in Yunshan for only ten days, I felt like a year, and there were often Beze and Yilan who came to deliver meals and visits, especially later with Ying'er, which made the long and boring time suddenly have bright brilliance and vitality. However, this time it was three months, and in this palace pasture, the people were not allowed to enter, so there was definitely no more possibility of a beautiful woman falling from the sky. And for a lonely and lonely man, without a beloved woman to accompany him, it is really a very painful torment to spend three long months.

How do you spend these three long months? The best thing is, of course, to do something that is righteous in life. For a long time, I have always wanted to write about my life and observations in the kingdom of heaven, but due to various reasons or impetuous moods, I have not been able to do so, and I always want to write it later when I have time. However, there is indeed time for now, but there is no pen and ink. Sometimes, I can't figure out why people always like to put what they want to do later. Maybe it's because he feels that there will be a quiet or more appropriate time in his life later in life when he can concentrate on it. In fact, this kind of thinking can easily be frustrated by all kinds of unexpected changes. The reason why people are like this is probably because writing itself is a long and arduous labor, very monotonous and boring, not at all as funny and wonderful as going out to watch the mountains and rivers or find a beautiful woman to make out and talk and laugh. This is determined by man's innate instinct and inertia to indulge and dislike, unless one's desire to succeed and tenacity of will can surpass such instinct and inertia. However, I feel that I may not belong to this kind of person who has the idea and perseverance. Because I know I'm a very casual person, and it's easy to get obsessed with women. No matter where I am, as long as there is a woman waiting for me, I am afraid that I will go to the appointment even if I go to the soup. Because being with a young and beautiful woman makes me feel that my young life is blooming, incomparably gorgeous, incomparably beautiful. In addition, my soul is also easily fascinated by the scenery of the mountains and waters, whenever I am in the beautiful scenery, the fresh flowers and plants and the clear landscape will be like the bright sunshine into my heart, so life becomes as fresh and beautiful as the landscape, flowers and plants. Sometimes, I even wonder if there are too many ingredients and hormones in my mind and feeling that I am attracted to women and landscapes. I don't know if other people have the same lustful heart and emotions as me, maybe they will, maybe they won't be as eager and strong as I am.
