Chapter 221: The Storyteller
Huludao is an island, the head is big and the tail is small, the middle is long and narrow, the shape is like a gourd and gets this good name, Huludao is connected to Qinhuangdao in the west, Jinzhou in the north, and is known as the reputation of the first city abroad.
As the name suggests, the island is poignant and Zen, the Bodhi tree is swaying with the wind, between the swaying, the leaves dance in the breeze, a group of peaceful, worthy of being the northern fairy island, we are going to the fishing village by the sea, growing so big, I still see the sea for the first time, the most memorable is the beach here, the sand is fine and soft, the water is blue and clear.
The sun shines like silk across the blue waters, bringing back memories of the ancient ocean, the wind blows through your feet, a hint of the sea, spread your arms, this is paradise.
The long-lost tranquility makes people feel refreshed, if it weren't for the field chicken in front of me to check the address with the file, I would have forgotten those troublesome things, the palace lord scolded the field chicken next to him, and he didn't understand the style.
Along the way, the file that Du Yi handed over to me, I looked at it more than a hundred times, and I had already memorized it backwards, not to mention that there was not much content on it, I have been speculating in my heart that Du Yi gave me this file, or the person named Ji Yijie in the file, what does it have to do with us, but from the time Du Yi handed over the file to me, it is not difficult to infer from his solemn expression that this person must be extremely important.
Until we saw the same number as the address recorded in the file, it was just an ordinary fishing village hut, with freshly repaired fishing nets hanging outside, and dried salted fish undulating in the sea breeze.
The palace lord pushed the field chicken and asked him to knock on the door, and out of the house came a man in his thirties, with dark cheeks and large, rough and powerful hands, typical of a fisherman by the sea.
"Looking for whom?" The man was a little restrained, and his face was blank and honest.
"May I ask if Ji Yijie lives here?" Ling Zhihan stepped forward and asked politely.
"My dad? What are you looking for him? The man came out of the house and wiped his fishy, wet hands.
"Oh, I bought fish from him before, so I'll stop by today to see if there are any fresh seafood." Everyone else was stunned, thinking about this person named Ji Yijie all the way, but they forgot what to say after meeting, but fortunately, I reacted quickly and replied with a smile.
"You bought fish from my dad?" The middle-aged man looked us back and forth, scratching his head in confusion. "No, my dad doesn't fish."
"You, what did your dad do?" Tian Ji asked.
"He's a storyteller."
"......" We were all stunned for a while, Du Yi asked us to meet a storyteller, obviously we were not prepared, and this time we said the wrong thing.
"When you came to buy fish, I should have happened to be not at home, so I knew my dad, but it doesn't matter, tell me what you want to buy, my dad is not in good health and is still in the hospital." The man smiled innocently, but he didn't react.
"We are not locals, we came to Huludao to play last time, Uncle Ji is really a good person, he told us a lot of things here, and gave us a lot of seafood before leaving." Ling Zhihan reacted faster and hurriedly took over the words. "I said that next time I came, I would definitely come to visit Uncle Ji, but I didn't expect him to be sick, so I have to go and see him."
The man on the opposite side looked like an honest man, hearing Ling Zhihan say this, he thanked him, his name is Ji Tianhua, he is Ji Yijie's only son, after a brief tidying up, he took us to the hospital, and when he arrived at the door of the hospital, he looked up and saw that it was a psychiatric hospital.
"Uncle Ji, what disease does he have?" I asked, surprised.
"There's something wrong here." Ji Tianhua pointed his finger and sighed gloomily.
We looked at each other, Du Yi asked us to meet the person, there was a problem with his brain, and he originally expected to ask something from Ji Yijie's mouth, a person who was locked up in a mental hospital, his brain was not clear, and what clear things could we ask.
Up to the third floor, Ji Tianhua pointed to the old man standing by the window and told us that it was Ji Yijie, when we walked over, we saw this gray-haired old man, draped the bed sheet on his body, his eyes were dull, staring out of the window motionlessly, and the corners of his mouth were drooling.
When he approached, Ling Zhihan was also startled, Ji Yijie except for those cloudy eyes, his face was as pale as paper, like a dead man.
"He, how could he be?" Tian Ji asked creepyly.
"We don't know exactly why, but we speculate that the patient had mild paranoia, and that he scraped off the wall every day, smeared it on his face, and then just stood there motionless." The doctor next to us explained.
Syllable!
A startle startled us, Ji Yijie, who had been stiff and motionless, suddenly slapped the window sill hard, raised his hand, and walked back and forth a few steps in a similar manner, the cloudy eyes before seemed to have regained some brilliance, and as soon as he spoke, his voice was like a flood of bells.
It is said that in the twelfth year of Emperor Jian'an of the Han Dynasty, Cao Mengde continued to pursue Yuan Shang, the successor of Yuan Shao, who fled to the northeast, intending to completely eliminate the Yuan forces.
Yuan Shang has retreated to the Wuhuan territory at this time, Wuhuan is a minority tribe in the northeast today, the bow and horse are skilled, the world is the Eastern Han Dynasty guarding the border, the Yuan family has been operating in the north for a long time, and the Wuhuan relationship is very deep, Yuan Shang was chased by Cao Cao and cornered, so he had to ask Wuhuan for help.
Receiving the news that Yuan Shang had joined forces with Wu Huan, Cao Cao's army stopped for a while.
Wuhuan Iron Ride, famous all over the world. And to attack Wuhuan, you must go far out of the fortress, through hundreds of kilometers of uninhabited land, lack of water and food. Even through this no-man's land, there are people and horses, and the army still has any combat effectiveness. Of course, the biggest possibility is that before I saw Yuan Shang and Wu Huan, I was dying of thirst in no man's land.
After thinking about it, Cao Cao decided to march.
When the generals heard this, they exploded the pot, where is this war, it is clearly to send to death.
They all objected, and the strategists also analyzed the pros and cons for Cao Cao: the soldiers were extremely tired after continuous battles, and if they went far into the wilderness, I was afraid that the food and grass would be unsustainable. And the main force of the army has been away for a long time, Xu Du is empty, if Liu Bei and Liu Biao take advantage of the weakness to attack the rear and lose Xu Du, this deal will lose a lot!
……
Ji Yijie's sonorous and powerful voice echoed in the ward, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a mentally ill patient, but we didn't understand what Ji Yijie said for a long time.
"What is your dad doing here?" Tian Ji asked.
"My dad is a storyteller, he was quite famous in this generation before he was sick, and he is now talking about an excerpt from "Cao Cao's Northern Expedition to Wuhuan" in our Liaodong commentary, in the opera, Cao Cao is white-faced, so my dad smeared the wall ash and pretended to be Cao Cao in the story." Ji Tianhua told us with a gloomy expression that neither he nor the doctor tried to dissuade Ji Yiji. "It's only when I'm commenting on the story that my dad can remember a little bit about the past, and it's only at this time that he looks normal."
"How did Uncle Ji get this disease? Is it stimulated by something? Gong Jue asked.
"The patient's condition is very special, and the general psychiatric patients are due to different degrees of psychological disorders, resulting in abnormal cognition, consciousness and motor behavior, but Ji Yijie is not like this, he is because of the lesions caused by brain trauma." The doctor said to Ji Tianhua with a grim expression. "From the current point of view, the patient's condition is not optimistic, although the trauma is recovered, but the consciousness is still very disordered, and we have not been able to figure out what he wants to express."
Ji Tianhua became even more anxious after hearing this, he and the doctor went to the office to consult Ji Yijie's condition in detail, just leaving us plenty of time and opportunity to contact Ji Yijie alone, but the opposite side shook his head, laughed and scolded, and Ji Yijie, who was still immersed in storytelling, had no intention of stopping at all.
We didn't dare to interrupt him, for fear of aggravating his condition, until Ji Yijie was about to finish the whole excerpt.
In the northern expedition to Wuhuan, although Cao Mengde won a complete victory, he lost the military adviser Guo Jia, which made Cao Mengde regret not being at the beginning, everyone on the field knows a sentence, Guo Jia is not dead, and Wolong is not out.
Guo Jiazhi's wisdom and strategy, I am afraid that it is not under Kong Ming, Cao Mengde's heart is dripping blood, and if he changes ordinary people, it is estimated that his intestines will be repentant, but what kind of person is Cao Mengde, that is a generation of heroes, and he returned triumphantly, and he was high-spirited and passing by......
Ji Yijie said that the story came as soon as he opened his mouth, and he had never seen him pause at all before, it was completely in one go, as if he was there, but when it came to Cao Cao's triumphant return, Ji Yijie suddenly stopped, looking a little flustered, and repeatedly said the last sentence several times, but he couldn't say the rest of the content.
"This old man probably doesn't know what his brain is, and he has forgotten the words behind it." Tian Ji shook his head regretfully.
Ji Yijie's appearance became more and more anxious, presumably the same as what Tian Ji said, he really forgot the words behind, walked back and forth a few steps, and slapped his hand on the windowsill again, he regarded his hand as a shocking wood, and a sonorous and powerful voice came from his mouth again.
It is said that in the twelfth year of Emperor Jian'an of the Han Dynasty, Cao Mengde continued to pursue Yuan Shang, the successor of Yuan Shao, who fled to the northeast, intending to completely eliminate the Yuan forces.
Yuan Shang has retreated to the Wuhuan territory at this time, Wuhuan is a minority tribe in the northeast today, the bow and horse are skilled, the world is the Eastern Han Dynasty guarding the border, the Yuan family has been operating in the north for a long time, and the Wuhuan relationship is very deep, Yuan Shang was chased by Cao Cao and cornered, so he had to ask Wuhuan for help.
……
We were stunned, Ji Yijie actually went back and said again from the beginning, we still didn't interrupt him, but gradually found a very strange thing, Ji Yijie has been repeating this excerpt all the time, but every time he talked about Cao Cao's triumphant return, he couldn't remember the rest of the content.
After listening to it many times, Tian Ji was a little annoying, urging me to take advantage of no one to quickly ask this Ji Yijie, I don't know what to ask at all, not to mention that he is like this now, it is useless to ask anything, in fact, the old man who is almost crazy on the other side only lives in excerpts from his commentary, and he can't listen to what we say at all.
