Chapter Eighty-Five: Heavenly Reason
New Baima County is snow-white, Peng Daniu is in his family's new house, and the house is very warm. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info He feels that it is warmer than his hometown in winter. This kang is really a good thing, I don't know if Lao Zheng's gang started a kang in life. The more Peng Daniu thought about it, the more worried he became, he didn't pay attention to it at the time, but he knew for sure that they didn't buy coal. Looking at the heavy snow, Peng Daniu remembered Lao Zheng's hard work when he worked for them.
Peng Daniu felt a little unbearable, wearing thick winter clothes all over his body, wrapped himself tightly, put on a sleigh, pulled a few baskets of coal behind him, and drove the horse to Lao Zheng's residence. Lao Zheng lives not very far, more than 30 miles, and it takes half a day to arrive.
Lao Zheng's fence wall yard, the door is ajar. Peng Da Niu came to the gate of the yard, stopped his horse, walked down from the sleigh, stomped his feet at the door, and shouted: "Lao Zheng, Lao Zheng, is Lao Zheng at home?" ”
The door of the main room creaked, and half of his head poked out from inside, and he glanced out. Lao Zheng saw a white man at the gate of the fence yard, patting the snow on his body, and then bent down to fetch a basket behind the sled. The two horses behind him also turned white, and their mouths were constantly spewing white gas. The door immediately opened completely, and Lao Zheng Fei ran to the gate of the courtyard and said, "Is it Brother Peng?" Why did this time come? Lao Zheng said as he and Peng Daniu moved the coal into the yard.
After the release, Lao Zheng pulled Peng Daniu into the house and shouted at the house: "Zheng Ji, come out, Zheng Ji, come out." Out of the house came a young man, twelve or thirteen years old, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, but he looked very thin, as if a gust of wind could blow it down.
The young man said to the old Zheng: "Father, what's the matter?" ”
Lao Zheng pointed at Peng Daniu and said: "This is the benefactor I often mention to you, Uncle Peng, you brought his two horses to your third uncle's house, just say that our benefactor is here, put the benefactor's horse in his stable, and let him take good care of these two horses." ”
The young man saluted Peng Daniu and said, "Nephew Zheng Ji is polite, I will take care of my uncle's horses." ”
Before Peng Da Niu could say anything, Zheng Ji flew over in a blink of an eye, untied the horse, took the reins of the horse, and headed towards another larger mansion to the east.
Peng Daniu watched Zheng Ji take the horse away, turned back to Lao Zheng and said: "I remember that you didn't buy coal when you came last time, and you can't burn the kang here in winter, I'm worried about you, so I'll send you some emergency first." ”
Lao Zheng pointed to the west side of the courtyard and said, "Big brother, we can't freeze here, you see I have prepared a lot." ”
Peng Daniu looked up and looked west, the snow covered a large stack, the top of the buttress was covered with snow very deep, and the two ends could be seen clearly, it was a broken split wood. The stacks were neatly stacked, as many as three rooms, and the stacks were as high as one person.
Peng Daniu looked at the chopping wood, patted his head and said: "Hey, I forgot about burning coal at home every day, look at my brain." As he spoke, he grinned.
Lao Zheng said: "Is it chaotic if you care, I am very grateful for the kindness of my eldest brother." You see such a heavy snow, such a cold day, come, hurry into the house to warm up. ”
As he spoke, Lao Zheng pulled Peng Daniu into the hall. The room was filled with smoke, and a choking smell came to the face. And when he looked at the ground, there was fire on the ground. Lao Zheng pulled Peng Daniu to the fire, handed over a half-section of wooden stake and said, "Big brother, there is no chair at home now, so I can only wronged you to sit here." ”
Peng Daniu grabbed the stake, sat down by the fire and said, "What are we polite, let's sit together." ”
Lao Zheng also sat down beside the fire, found two relatively large pieces of wood from the wood next to him and put them on the fire, and the flames rolled up at once, and the firelight reflected the faces of the two.
Lao Zheng turned over the fire with a long stick in one hand, turned his face and asked, "Big brother, I'm afraid it's frozen for such a long journey, right?" ”
Peng Daniu smiled: "What's the matter, look at my leather clothes, can I freeze myself?" Peng Daniu, as he spoke, pulled his coat.
Lao Zheng said: "It's good if it's not cold, in this way, warm up for a while, and then I'll let them prepare some wine and food, and our brothers will drink well." ”
Peng Daniu said: "I came out like this, it took too long, I'm afraid that my family will worry." ”
"Haha, it's a coincidence, today we have someone here who wants to go to your second brother's house to deliver fur, just let them carry the letter back."
Peng Daniu nodded, and agreed.
Lao Zheng stood up, walked to the back room, and made some arrangements. Then come out and talk to Peng Daniu.
Peng Daniu asked curiously: "It's been snowing so hard recently, is there anyone still hunting?" Aren't all those prey hibernating? ”
"Haha, you don't know this, wait for you to taste the venison and you'll know that you can hunt in winter. Although we said that we were settled, we also thought that life would be better, and there was no farm work to do, so we gathered together to hunt. I'm having something at home, and I've been at home lately, and they'll give me some of the prey they hunt. ”
Peng Daniu asked nervously, "What's wrong at home?" What's going on? ”
Lao Zheng's face darkened, and he sighed and said, "Zheng Ji is not in good health, he was seriously ill some time ago, but now he is all well." Don't worry anymore. Hey, but ......."
Peng Daniu said: "But what, what do you say, you say." I can help, you just say, you want people, you want money. ”
Lao Zheng pulled the fire with a wooden stick, sparks burst out, crackling sounded, and the flames reflected Lao Zheng's melancholy face. After a while, Lao Zheng said: "Big brother, if you don't come today, I plan to look for you in a few days." This is something you really need to know about, and help us understand it. ”
Peng Daniu took off his outer leather coat, put it aside, sat down on the stake again, and said, "What's the matter, you start from the beginning, I'll see how I can help you?" ”
Lao Zheng said: "My Zheng Ji has been weak since he was a child, and he will get sick at both ends in three days, but we are heartbroken and scared every day." I finally grew up. I don't usually let him do any heavy work, just help out at home. Look at the chopping wood in the yard, he cut it all. Half a month ago, when the weather was cold, he was still chopping wood, preparing for the winter. When chopping wood, I didn't pay attention to sweating, and when the wind blew, I fell ill and had a high fever that didn't go away. ”
The fire shone on Peng Da Niu, and the flickering flames reflected the red face, Lao Peng couldn't stop nodding his head while looking at Lao Zheng.
Lao Zheng continued: "For three days, Zheng Ji did not get better, and I heard some people hunting outside that there is a Jia Shen Doctor 50 miles away, who can cure all diseases. On that day, I borrowed a horse and went overnight. It's really a good fate, Doctor Jia has just come back from other places, so I invited him. He was also good, and he came with me that night. He carried a medicine box on his back and rode a horse, and it was snowing that day, and we had to travel all night. When I got home, it was too cold, and Lao Jia fell off his horse in front of my house. ”
Peng Daniu was taken aback and said, "Is the divine doctor okay?" ”
Lao Zheng smiled and said, "Of course it's okay, it's just that my hands and feet are so cold that I can't control it." We helped him up, and after a while, he went into the house to see Zheng Ji. He not only saw a doctor, but also helped to decoction and medicine at my house, and after two days of busy work, Zheng Ji also got up, left some medicine, and then went back. ”
Peng Daniu said: "Isn't this very good? Jia Shen is also a good doctor. ”
Lao Zheng said: "Of course the person is very good, and the medical skills are also high, and the medicine he left behind is now Zheng Ji is also taking it, and it is basically completely well." However, he made a request, he hoped to let Zheng Ji follow him, he saw that Zheng Ji's body was a little weak after all, and it would take two years to get better with him, in addition, he said that he wanted to teach Zheng Ji medical skills. ”
Peng Daniu smiled: "This is a good thing that you can't find with a lantern, why are you still worried?" ”
Lao Zheng continued: "I'm not reluctant to have a child, if the child can be with him for two years and his body will be well raised, I am happier than anyone else." However, what kind of Heavenly Principle are they going to enter, I'm worried about this. ”
Peng Daniu said: "Tianli Dao, I've never heard of it?" What do you do? ”
Lao Zheng said: "Since Doctor Jia left, I went to inquire about this Heavenly Principle. It is said that a red-faced man named Han Hao went up the mountain and met a tiger, and the tiger was about to eat him, but was rescued by a white-bearded old man. The old man was said to have been sent by God to teach the way of heaven, and he just saved Han Hao, and the immortal taught Han Hao some mana, and he went back to heaven. Han Hao followed the method of the immortal sect, used grass and bark to make paper, and then wrote the words that the immortal taught him on the paper, and compiled it into a book, which is the way of heavenly principles. ”
Peng Daniu asked: "In this way, the paper we use now is all made by Tianli Dao?" ”
Lao Zheng said: "That's right, do you still know that paper can be made in other places?" I only know that there was parchment in Pingzhou before, and ordinary people couldn't afford to use it, but now this paper is also used by ordinary people. But if you don't study, it seems that ordinary people are useless. ”
Peng Daniu then asked: "Do you know what the truth talked about that day?" ”
Lao Zheng said: "I have also asked some people, and many people in our neighborhood have also heard of it, and it is said that they all persuade people to do good, but I am just a little afraid." I was in Dongjun a while ago, and the owner participated in the rebellion, and we didn't dare to go back because we were afraid of being implicated. If this is a matter of heavenly reason, and it is involved in things like rebellion, won't I be in trouble again? ”
Peng Daniu said: "Didn't you say they have books, do you have them here?" ”
Lao Zheng patted his head and said, "Oh, why did I forget?" I have a book here, the one that Doctor Jia left for Zheng Ji last time, let him read it if he is fine. I'll take it out, and you can take a look at it too. ”
