The sound inn sent the hemp paper of the figurines. It is not comparable with the four shell hemp paper produced by Huating 6 manor, it is rougher, the pen is good, it is a small tube of wolf hair, the wolf hair gathers strong edge, elastic foot, and the front is in contact with the coarse hemp paper. When skimming and sketching, there is a sense of sluggishness from time to time, but it is also interesting to write

History Zai Ouyang Xun did not choose pen and paper. You can write arbitrarily, each with its own subtlety, but with Chen Caozhi's experience, the texture of tough paper can be used soft, soft paper should be wolf, short front should not write thin pen small characters, long front should not be thick fat round font, dry pen for chapter grass flying white is better, soft hair is suitable for all lines, and now, he is a small tube wolf on the coarse linen paper to record the score, Yan Le half-word notation of the string notation, *** shaking, the incomplete Chinese characters, shaking notes continue out"

Xie Daoyun and Xie Xuan sat opposite each other around the fireplace, Xie Xuan only cared about drinking, and laughed secretly in his heart, Sister and Zizhong were alone for non-working days, but they insisted on pulling him together tonight, hehe, Sister has been an official for half a year, and she hasn't forgotten that she is a woman.

Xie Daoyun took a sip of the newly brewed Shanyin wine in the cup, feeling the warmth and sweetness of the wine, looking at Chen Caozhi, Chen Caozhi's pen kept writing, and suddenly frowned slightly, raised his eyes to look at her, looked at her fixedly, and looked down again Yun saw that Chen Caozhi was writing, and thought that Chen Caozhi was painting for her

Tonight and night, a total of this lamp and candlelight, no matter what, just sitting in this humble guest house, listening to the north wind howling, feeling the warmth of the wine incense burner, Xie Daoyun is already very pleased, the charcoal fire in the red clay furnace has a slight cracking sound from time to time. It's an intoxicating atmosphere

After a while, Chen Caozhi put the pen on the inkstone, held the long hemp paper in both hands, looked at it backwards, waited for the ink to dry slightly, and said to Xie Daoyun with a smile: "This is a birthday gift for Brother Yingtai, is it presented now, or tomorrow morning?" ”

Xie Daoyun said: "Of course it is now, if you stay until tomorrow, you will not be able to sleep tonight."

Chen Caozhi got up and even Xie Daoyun in front of him, handed over the roll of hemp paper with both hands, Xie Daoyun took it, his slender eyes flashed, and he said happily: "It's a piano song!" ”

Chen Caozhi said: "This song must be familiar to Brother Yingtai. ”

Xie Xuan is also elegant and has a good rhythm. He was good at blowing thirty-six pipes of taro, so he came over and sat side by side with his sister to see that

Table.

Xie Daoyun spread the linen paper score in front of his knees, pressed his slender ten fingers on his knees to pluck and knead them into a drum and piano shape, and suddenly raised his head and said: "This seems to be the post-method of "Mountains and Flowing Water". ”

Chen Caozhi smiled and said: "Yes, what is the difference in the means after the song title "Mountains and Flowing Water"? ”

The guqin song "Mountains and Flowing Water" has been circulated since the Han Dynasty, and it is not the original song that Boya played for Zhong Ziqi to listen to, but was composed by later generations under the pretext of his name.

Xie Dao Yunfu lowered her head and played the invisible qin, her banana leaf qin was brought from Wuyi Lane. But at the end of last month, he stayed in the manor when he returned to Dongshan, Xie Daoyun did not dye his hands with Coptis today, and his hands were as white as jade under the light of charcoal. The right hand wipes, picks, hooks, and ticks, and the left hand groans, soothes, advances, and retreats, and the serious appearance is really like a banana leaf qin on the knee

After a while, Xie Daoyun stretched out his ten fingers and put them on his knees, and said: "After that, the means are more delicate, complex and beautiful, and the seventy-two rolling fingerings in the sixth and eighth sections are more like a river. Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows and asked: "Zizhong can't play the piano, why can he change this song of "Mountains and Flowing Water"?" ”

Chen Caozhi: "I often hear the Yingtai brothers playing the piano, familiar with the guqin, the recorder. Rhythm one

Xie Daoyun nodded and said: "I played the song "Alpine Flowing Water", Zhuo Jue's front means are inferior to the latter means, Zizhong made "Flowing Water" into a separate song, and said very wonderfully: "Thank you Zizhonghui."

Xie Xuan was a little displeased, Chen Caozhi braved the cold to come here, but what does it mean to give the book "Flowing Water"? Bosom friend with high mountains and flowing water, Lei Falling and the breeze on his sleeves, do Zizhong and his sister really only have friendship?

In the middle of the night, the Xie sisters and brothers left the Kaiyuan Inn to rest, and when they went out, the snowflakes fell, and the roof and the ground were already hazy and white in silence, and the weather was cold, and the snow fell and accumulated.

Chen Caozhi stepped on a thin layer of snow to send Xie Daoyun and Xie Xuan out of the Sound Loss Inn, and Xie Daoyun suddenly said: "Life is between heaven and earth." Suddenly, like a traveler, tomorrow will be his twentieth birthday, I always think that I am still young, the world is really magical, and there is always an unguessable ending

Chen Caozhi thought of his two lives, and he was also very touched, and said: "There is always an unknowable mystery in these places, even through the ages, across the eight wildernesses, there is an end to life and no end to know, we are so small and ignorant, are we sad?" No. We have a conscience, and we value and cherish the beauty of the world, whether it is family friendship, pity or compassion. These beautiful emotions, even the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, flowers, birds, insects and fish, all make us feel the preciousness of life, we hope and strive to reduce the suffering between these, what if life is not enough. We have been here once, we have worked hard, we have known each other

Xie Sister and Brother stood still and looked at Chen Caozhi, Xie Daoyun's eyes were bright, and his heart was indescribably moved, afraid of tears flowing down, raised his head, fine snow fell all over the sky, stained on his face with a cool gentleness, above the snow, outside the layer, the fifteenth full moon and the stars of the heavens were like there

Early in the morning of the 16th, the sky was slightly bright, Chen Caozhi and Ran Sheng finished washing, and the maid Liu Wu came over with a smile and said, "Two Chen Langjun." My Xie Langjun invited the two of them to eat leeks and spit out water cakes, and my Xie Langjun knew that Chen Langjun was going back in a hurry. Specially rewarded the store, ordered the store to prepare the leek leaf water cake early and said: "My Xie Langjun saw that the snow has accumulated a thick layer, very happy, said that the drought can be alleviated, and according to my third mother, Ah Yuan, no, no, my family Xie Langjun was born on a snowy day, although today is on the journey to celebrate his birthday, and I am happy to have a friend like Chen Langjun to come, my Xie Langjun is very happy, Chen Caozhi and Ran Sheng, who got up early in the morning and smiled Chen Caozhi and Ran Sheng stepped on the snow to come to the open source inn, and Xie Daoyun, Xie Xuan and the servants of the Xie clan ate Xie Daoyun's longevity noodles together, and when they finished eating and rested for a while, at about the end of the day, Chen Caozhi took his leave and wanted to go. But I saw a horse from the east rushing forward, the horse's hooves splashed with snow, and the line was in a hurry, but it was a servant of the Xie family. The snow on the wide eaves hat said happily: "I finally caught up with Chen Langjun, the banana leaf qin was dismounted, and the tightly wrapped banana leaf qin was presented to Xie Daoyun, but it turned out that Xie Daoyun ordered the servants to rush to the Dongshan Villa overnight to get the qin."

Xie Xuan said with a smile: "It's always so coincidental, Zizhong and my brother can be said to have a good relationship." ”

Xie Daoyun played the piano under the eaves of the open source inn, Chen Caozhi immediately listened to it, the bright and brisk prelude, as if the stream in the distance came thinly, twists and turns, and when it met the Lei stone, it was frustrated, and it was open and slow, and the broken beads jumped jade, and gradually became larger. The nine songs of the river, the rushing island, the wise man moves, and the wise man enjoys the water. The perception of life and the experience of life. The sound of flowing water, and now, the bosom friend is in front, the court is full of snow, and the song "Flowing Water" is empty!

It was past noon, and Zong Zhi and Run'er waited for lunch at the inn in Qingdian Town for a while, but they didn't see Uncle Ugly and Xiao Sheng come back, and the waiting time was so difficult. Run'er said to Xiaochan and Yuyan: Sister Xiaochan, Sister Yuyan, my brother and I want to be the first ugly uncle in the east of the town, and play in the snow by the way, okay? ”

Zongzhi added: "When I came yesterday, I saw a plum forest in the east and it was blooming. ”

Xiaochan said: "Cao Zhilangjun is almost coming back."

Yuyan glanced at Xiaochan and said in a low voice: Sister Xiaochan, take them there, I have been inconvenient for the past two days. ”

Xiaochan: "Hmm. sighed, took Zong Zhi and Run'er's hands, and said, "Don't run around, do you hear?" ”

The little brother and sister agreed and followed Xiaochan out of the inn, and Jing Nu brought two Chen's private soldiers and four Xifu sergeants to follow and protect.

It's cold. The snow was trampled into ice, very slippery, Xiaochan let the shock drive the ox cart, she and Zong Zhi, Run'er sat on the car, rolled the ice and snow, and came to the east of the town, but saw the plain wilderness, all covered with snow. The air is fresh and cold, and the breath can be cleansed.

Run'er climbed the window of the car and recited: "In the past, I went back, the willows were still around, and now I come to think, the rain and snow rely on an ugly uncle who once praised this as a good sentence of Mao's poetry, and Run'er also has a deep understanding today." ”

Zong Zhi said: "This is out of the homesickness of the soldiers. ”

Run'er knew what Brother Ah meant, and said crisply: "Love is due to the sense of things, and the text is born of love, and it has passed away at four o'clock." Looking at all things and thinking about them, sad and falling leaves in the autumn, happy and soft strips in the spring, although the heart is different, touching is one. Brother, look at the sergeants under Xiao Sheng, they are also homesick and willowy, but we don't know about it

Zong Zhi was surprised: "Where does Run'er see this, saying it so cleverly, but I haven't read it?" ”

Run'er was a little proud, and said with a smile: "Professor Ugly Uncle, didn't Brother hear it?" ”

Zong Zhi scratched his head and said, "I haven't heard Uncle Ugly talk about it, and asked, "Uncle Ugly told you from time to time?"

Run'er couldn't help but smile and said, "It's when I went to Assassin County to visit Mr. Antao." ”

Zong Zhi thought to himself: "Let's go, once I went to Katayunyan with Mr. Antao, wasn't that time?" Seeing Run'er's unbearable appearance, Zong Zhi woke up and said, "Run'er coaxed me again!" ”

Seeing that Brother Ah was a little unhappy, Run'er hurriedly said: "Run'er and Brother are joking, this is not taught by Uncle Ugly, it was taught by 6 little ladies, didn't Run'er go to Huating with her mother to see 6 little ladies last time." 6 When the little lady took me to Pinghu, she dictated this "Wen Fu" in the boat, which is the uncle of the 6 lady, the famous 6 Shi Barnyard made a brother, and when she returned to Chenjiawu, Run'er copied it to the brother, okay? ”

Zong Zhi said "um", and did not complain about Run'er because Run'er played with him, Zongzhi was very accommodating and loved Run'er.

Xiaochan on the side sighed: Sister Xiaochan is really old. Run'er said so profoundly, I was dizzy to hear it. ”

Run'er said with a smile: "Sister Xiaochan and Sister Qingzhi are all Sister Xiaochan who is better than Zheng Kangcheng's maid, and she has followed Uncle Ugly for so long, and now she is naturally more powerful." ”

Xiaochan was a little embarrassed and said: "How can I learn Xiaolangjun's knowledge, I'm just a rough poet and a treatise." ”

The ox cart drove to the east entrance of the town, Meilin Bianchan, Zongzhi and Run'er got off, looking at the road from afar, and the snow was full of wilds. It's very different from yesterday.

Run'er was worried: "Such a big snow. Will Uncle Ugly and Xiao Sheng be able to make it back? ”

Jing Nu smiled and said: "Run'er little lady is not worried, this kind of snow is nothing, and the snow runs faster." Xiao Langjun, they will be able to rush back soon. ”

On both sides of the road, thousands of plum trees are jagged and snowy, and the heavy branches are half white and half black, white is snow, and black is the branches.

Run'er stepped on the snow and walked under a plum tree, looked up and said, "I don't know if this plum tree has bloomed, is it a white plum or a red plum?" ”

Chen's private soldiers and Ran Sheng's sergeants all love the beautiful and smart little lady Run'er, and when they heard Run'er say this, two sergeants stepped forward and said: Little lady, please get out of the way. ”

Run'er stepped aside, and saw the two strong sergeants hugging the old plum tree and shaking it vigorously. There was a heavy snowfall within a radius of a few zhang, and the end of the snow was flying, Run'er "Gege" smiled, and looked at it again. The ice and snow shake off, a little red plum appears, and the fragrance of plum blossoms is faint.

Two sergeants shouted and ran out of Merlin, both of them covered in snow on their heads and necks. The scramble was cleaning up, making everyone laugh.

Run'er approached the plum tree, and admired the red plum branches, the core and snow, the vermilion ice heart, and the cold fragrance refreshed people's hearts

Not far from the plum tree there was a small ditch, and on the other side of the small ditch was a low shrub. The snow was scattered and the trees swayed. Suddenly, a gray-white wild dog burst out, its ears erected and its filthy tail dragging on the ground. Spit out a scarlet tongue, salivation, look extremely disgusting, jumped very fast, and pounced on Run'er

Zong Zhixian saw the vicious and strange dog and shouted: "Run'er, be careful of the vicious dog!" "While running towards Run'er, I want to protect my little sister.

Run'er was startled when she heard her brother shouting, and then she heard the hoarse and dull barking of the dog, and turned her head sharply to see that the salivating wild dog had jumped in front of her, and the dog's eyes were stunned and staring at Run'er

Run'er was young, and the dog was really scary, so he screamed in fear, turned around and ran, and the dog jumped close to the ground. The front paws grabbed at Run'er, and the salivating dog teeth were about to be bitten

The closest to Run'er was Xiaochan, she also heard Zongzhi's shouting before she saw this vicious dog, and suddenly her whole body exploded, she was also afraid of dogs, but seeing Run'er's frightened face, Xiaochan rushed forward desperately. kicked on the dog's neck, the dog "snorted", took a few steps back, and Xiaochan was unstable. fell on the snow, hurriedly got up, and saw that the vicious dog pounced on Run'er again, and Zongzhi had already rushed up. As soon as he grabbed Run'er, the dog bared his teeth at the little brother and sister

Xiaochan picked up a branch on the ground casually, and whipped the wild dog hard, the wild dog roared, turned around stiffly, and bit Xiaochan's calf suddenly, the sharp dog teeth bit Xiaochan's calf through several layers of cloth, Xiaochan did not feel pain at this time, the branch in her hand jerked, "bang", the branch broke, the dog took the opportunity to bite Xiaochan on the back of her left hand

Jing Nu shouted and rushed over with several sergeants, "Huo." With a bang, the oak stick in Jing Nu's hand flew out. In the middle of the dog's body, the dog was in pain, rolled on the ground twice, and screamed in pain.

Xiaochan endured the pain and urgently asked if Zong Zhi and Run'er had been bitten? Zongzhi shook his head and said, "No." "Look at Run'er again. His face turned pale. Freak out.

Xiaochan squatted down. Nervously touching Run'er's hands and feet, he asked repeatedly: "Run'er, did you bite it, where did you bite it?" ”

Run'er cried, hugged Xiaochan and cried, "I didn't bite it." But Sister Xiaochan was bitten by Xiaochan, and then she felt that the two bites on her hands and feet were throbbing, and she smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, Sister Xiaochan is an adult." Run'er is not afraid" patted Run'er's soft back.

Jing Nu, Lai Zhen and others all ran over, and they were relieved to see that the two little masters were not bitten. Zong Zhi and Run'er sat on the ox cart with Xiaochan in their arms, Jing Nu looked at Xiaochan's wound and shallow calf tooth marks, just a trace of blood, the back of his left hand had deep tooth marks, blood flowed, Jing Nu had wound medicine, put it on for Chan, and bandaged it with a clean cloth.

The white Jing slave said with annoyance: "It's all to blame for the old slave's carelessness, far away from the poor protection, I didn't expect a vicious dog to suddenly pop out of the forest, causing the two little masters to be frightened Xiaochan was bitten, and when Xiao Langjun came back, the old slave was willing to accept the punishment."

Xiao Chanqiang smiled: "How can you blame Uncle Jing for this, how would you have thought that a vicious dog would come out!" "There is a deep concern in my heart. Remembering that a few days ago, the son of Gongcao Shi in Shanyin County was also bitten by a dog, strange disease, afraid of the sound of the water, afraid of seeing the light, please Cao Zhi Xiaolangjun to treat Xiaolangjun and said that the poison has been poisoned, there is no cure, and in less than ten days, the man died!

The vicious dog just now was tailing and salivating, very much like the sick Jing dog that Xiao Langjun said, Xiao Chan's hands and feet were cold, and she was very scared.

Jing Nu said: "Go back, go back, go back to the guest house, don't wait here." The weather is cold and freezing, so don't let the two little masters get cold. ”

Run'er said: "Leave two people here to guard, don't let that vicious dog bite Uncle Ugly, and."

Jing Nu praised Run'er Bu Niangzi for being careful, leaving two sergeants behind, and the others went back to the inn.

The wheels ran over the snow, "creaking" sounded, and Run'er in the carriage saw Xiaochan's pale face and asked in a low voice: Sister Xiaochan, does it hurt? ”

Xiaochan stretched out her right hand and touched Run'er's pink cheek, and said, "There is a little pain, don't be afraid, I'm afraid of biting Run'er and Zongzhi." ”

Run'er said: "If it weren't for Sister Xiaochan stopping that vicious dog, Run'er would definitely have been bitten."

At this time, hearing the sound of horses' hooves in a hurry, from far to near, Run'er said happily: "It's Uncle Chou and Xiao Sheng who are back." ”

The two little brothers and sisters got off the ox cart and looked towards the road, the two rode one after the other, and it was the little brother and sister Xiao Sheng who rode the "Purple Electric" Ugly Uncle and the "White Horse" and shouted happily: "Ugly Uncle"

Chen Caozhi got off the saddle and strode over and asked: Xiaochan was bitten by a dog? What kind of dog is it? ”

Chen Caozhi would call Sister Xiaochan in private as he did when he was a child, and he had just met the two sergeants by the Meilin in the east of the town. Knowing that Xiaochan was bitten by a vicious dog, he asked the two sergeants what kind of dogs they were? The two sergeants said they didn't see it clearly.

Run'er said: "Uncle Ugly, Sister Xiaochan was bitten by a vicious dog to save Run'er, and the vicious dog pounced on Run'er, and Run'er was scared to death!" ”

Jing Nu stepped forward to plead guilty. Chen Caozhi waved his hand and asked again what the dog looked like?

Zongzhi observed the most carefully and said, "It's a gray-white dog." Maybe it's a white dog, with dirty fur, sticking out its tongue and salivating, its tail dragging on the ground, and a piece of fur on its back that looks like it's burned. ”

The innkeeper heard it and said, "That's the dog of the town's surname Fang, it's a mad dog, and it has bitten several people." One person is sick and has been locked up, and it seems that there is no help. ”

Run'er and Zongyi listened, and the little brother and sister also heard that the son of Shanyin Gong Cao Shi was bitten and poisoned by a dog.

Chen Caozhi's ink eyebrows were deep, he looked at the wounds on Xiao Chan's hands and feet, and said: Xiao Sheng, Uncle Jing, gather all the people, bring knives, guns and sticks, and kill that dog today. ”

Six Chen's private soldiers and twenty Xifu sergeants waited in front of the inn, Chen Caozhi let Jing Nu and six Chen's private soldiers stay in the inn, he and Ran Sheng took twenty Xifu soldiers to Meilin in the east of the town, three people in a team, divided into seven groups, and searched together.

Ran Sheng said to Chen Caozhi: "Brother, just leave this matter to me, Brother is waiting at the inn." ”

Chen Caozhi held an oak stick in his hand and said, "I will go with you, and I must find that dog, bitten by this sick dog, although it is not necessarily poisoned." But once the disease is incurable, it is necessary to find the big disease before the virus, and apply the bite with its brain, so that it is possible to poison. ”

This kind of rabies can only be prevented and not cured in later generations, Chen Caozhi can only follow Ge Hong's "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription" recorded in the "Kill the bite big, take the brain to compress" This strange prescription is Xiaochan medical treatment, it is said that this prescription has a miracle.

The snow smoothed out the mound, and the people scattered and searched, and walked deep into the snow and into the depths of the Merlin. Knives, guns, and clubs were in front of him, and he was snorting, trying to scare the vicious dog out.

This plum forest and shrubs are hundreds of acres wide, and there is a hill behind the forest. It is also overgrown with bushes. It's hard work.

Chen Caozhi, Ran Sheng and his entourage of twenty-two people from late afternoon to the end of Shen, it was almost dark, and before they could find the vicious dog, even Chen Caozhi, a person with excellent patience, began to get anxious

Suddenly, a sergeant shouted in front of him: "This way, this way!" Then a dog barked, apparently screaming bitterly.

The sergeant shouted, "Flee to the northeast, intercept quickly, intercept quickly." ”

Ran Sheng saw the direction and galloped away like a leopard, taking off the nephew's strong bow on his back as he ran, and bent the bow and arrows. The strings sounded and the dog barked, and then it barked a few more times, and then there was silence.

The sergeant dragged the dead dog over, and Chen Cao saw that it was a white-haired dog. There was a burn the size of a copper coin on his back.

Back at the inn in Qingdian Town, Chen Caozhi took matters into his own hands, first using stubble leaf juice to clean Xiaochan's hand and foot wounds, and then applying a dog brain

Xiaochan saw that Xiao Langjun, who had always been clean, treated her regardless of filth. I was so moved that I wanted to cry.

Chen Caozhi comforted: "Sister Xiaochan, it's okay, with the strange recipe of Immortal Master Ge, you will definitely be able to cure the poison of the great disease." The heart said: ""Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription" contains, where a dog bites a person, one in seven days, and if it is not after seven days, it will be taken off, and it will be a hundred days, which is a great exemption. ”
