Chapter 35: Coming to the Beginningless Mountain

As she spoke, she walked briskly to the back room, and soon she brought out a large bowl of porridge with some peanuts and a few pieces of tofu in it. As soon as he moved, he saw that the bowl was steaming and smoking, but he was very hungry, and despite the hot porridge, he came up and drank a few sips, and the porridge went down to his stomach and his chest felt very hot, and his mouth was about to burn the skin. The young woman said: "Slow down, slow down, this bowl is given to you, as well as this small cloth bag and this cotton jacket are also given to you, it is cold, you are wearing too little." With that, she went back to the house.

After eating for about ten minutes, he finished the young woman's bowl of porridge and sat on the ground for an hour, and he felt much better. He stood up, put on the young woman's padded jacket, put the two bowls in a small cloth bag, and continued his journey. He doesn't have a destination, he doesn't know a destination, he just knows to keep walking, to find a place and a distant place!

Begging all the way, all the way forward, half a year has passed. On this morning, he came to the vicinity of a large mountain. This mountain is called the Mountain of Beginninglessness. "This mountain is so high!" Li Yidong sighed as he looked up at the Beginningless Mountain. If it weren't for an old man in Wushi Village who gave him a bag of peanuts, he wouldn't have been able to walk to Wushi Mountain! He didn't expect that there would be no one on such a long journey from Wushi Village to Wushi Mountain.

Looking at the mountain in front of him, he thought that no matter what, he would have to spend the night on this mountain tonight. He decided to go up the mountain first to find some wild fruits to eat. He climbed up the mountain, and after climbing for more than four hours he did not find a single fruit, there were many tall trees on the mountain, and after climbing up for a while, he suddenly saw a road. The road was about six feet wide, and it was obvious that it was a man-made road, as the branches of the trees next to it were still cut off. Has anyone been here? He decided to follow the path up. After walking about a mile, a young man with an empty bucket came down. Seeing Li Yidong, the young man was very surprised, and he asked eagerly: "Hey, who are you? Why did you get here?" Yidong replied: "I am a refugee, I came to this mountain this morning, I wanted to go up the mountain to find some wild fruits to eat, I haven't eaten vegetables for two days, and I have only eaten some peanuts and drunk some water in the past two days." ”

"Oh, then come with me to the top of the mountain, we have dinner at home. The young man walked back as he spoke, and after another two hours of walking, the two of them finally reached the top of the mountain. There is a ruined temple with blue bricks and green tiles on the mountain, and there is a sound of talking from inside. The young man shouted, "Uncle, there is a fugitive from the mountains, and he wants to find something to eat." As soon as the words fell, an old man and a young man walked out of the broken face, the old man was about seventy years old, with gray hair, and was dressed in gray cloth, and the young man was about eighteen years old, dressed in green clothes. Just now, the young man continued to go down the mountain and dive, and the old and the young took a move into the ruined temple to eat.

Although the ruined temple is extremely simple, it is also clean and tidy. There was also a young man in yellow sitting at a table. The old man said, "Young man, what is your name, where did you come from?" At this time, the young man in Tsing Yi brought a bowl of hot rice and a bowl of green vegetables and put them on the table, and the old man in gray beckoned to sit down to eat.

"Hungry, aren't you? The old man said. I didn't eat for two and a half days, picked up chopsticks and devoured them, and soon finished eating a bowl of rice and a bowl of vegetables. I ate four bowls of rice in a row, and it took three bowls of vegetables to fill my stomach.

So he told the three of them all about his origins. After hearing this, the old man said, "If you move, you will live here with us in the future." We also come from all over the world, we didn't know each other before, we all have our own misfortunes, and we are all poor people in this society that no one cares about! My name is Zhou Zhouhu, his name is Zhang Sanbei, his name is Wang Wu, and the one who went to carry water is called Ma Liujia. ”

Yidong said excitedly: "Thank you uncle for taking me in, I will thank you for the rest of my life!"

Wang Wudao: "If you move, you take a bath first, my set of clothes will be changed for you, and these shoes will also be given to you." After saying that, he came to the hut where he bathed, poured hot water into the barrel, and walked out of the hut for bathing.

After taking a shower and changing clothes, he went to sleep in the bedroom, and after half a year of begging and escaping, he had never slept in a decent home, and today he could finally sleep at home. Extremely sleepy, he fell asleep as soon as he lay down in bed.

When he woke up the next morning, Uncle Zhou and Wang Wu affectionately beckoned him to sit down and have breakfast together.

The five of them had an in-depth conversation. Li Yidong said: "Why can't our society always reach a level of beauty and kindness? Why are there always some harmful people in the world?" Wang Wudao: "Your question is very big, and it is all a big truth. None of the five of us can speak well. ”

Ma Liujia said: "What is the big truth? In my opinion, it is a small truth, simple and clear, and it is easy to explain clearly! The relationship between people is the relationship between big animals and small animals. Big worms eat small worms, and small worms eat caterpillars. The law of the jungle. ”

Zhang Sanbei said: "That's true. The most important thing for people is ability, and the second is morality. Confucius is called a sage, which shows that he was a very kind and moral person, but he lacked military talent, could not fight, and was incapable of conquering the world. Although he constantly lobbied the princes of the world, he also kept failing, because his high morality could not influence the princes of the side who had armies. Therefore, Confucius's desire to govern the world with benevolence and righteousness could not be realized. Imagine that if Confucius had outstanding military and political talents and ruled the world, then he would be able to exercise his benevolence and righteousness to govern and benefit all sentient beings! It is a pity that he had no military and political talents, but the brutal Qin Shi Huang unified the world with his outstanding military and political talents, and he practiced the tyranny opposite to Confucius's benevolent government! The examples of Confucius and Qin Shi Huang prove that ability is better than morality. ”

Tuesday Tiger said: "Qin Shi Huang's unification of the world is not his credit alone, the successive monarchs of the Qin State are very military and political talents, and have laid a strong foundation for the strength of the Qin State! To be precise, Qin Shi Huang is a giant standing on the shoulders of giants, while the other monarchs of the six countries who have been destroyed are dwarves standing on the heads of dwarves, and the destruction of dwarves by giants is completely in line with the objective law. In this sense, it is only in this sense that everything can be decided regardless of morality! The Qin State and the Six Kingdoms are the most powerful historical evidence. By extension, this is true between countries, between families, and between people! If Qin Shi Huang took the world by virtue of his noble character and kind and benevolent heart, it is really a distortion of facts and an extreme absurdity!
