Liu Xiu looked at Liang Ge with a serious expression.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Xiu said unhurriedly: "Elder Ge's words, this official has a different opinion. ”

"Wuxi people have lived in the mountains for generations, why?"

"It's not because the ancestors of the Wuxi people are reluctant to leave, it's because there is no place for the Wuxi people to live outside, and it's because the people outside are hostile to the Wuxi people. ”

"According to the words of Elder Zhangge, it is a rule for the ancestors of the Wuxi people to live in the mountains, so the ancestors of the Wuxi people may not even have clothes at the beginning. Since it was the rule of the ancestors, why did Elder Zhangge wear clothes? Moreover, the clothes worn by Elder Zhange were not the animal skin clothes of ordinary Wuxi people, but the clothes of Han people. ”

Liu Xiu had a smile on the corner of his mouth and said, "Elder Ge, am I right?"

He said coldly: "Sophistry!"

Liu Xiu shook his head and said: "Elder Ge, what the ancestors of Wuxi people have done for generations is the environment at that time, and the conditions at that time are limited, so they can only do that. The ancestors of the Wuxi people may have lived in a cave in the mountain, so why do the Wuxi people live in a house now?"

Liu Xiu's tone gradually 'revealed' his edge, and said: "Elder Ge obeys the opinions of his ancestors so much, and respects his ancestors so much, why don't he live in the 'cave' of the mountain and emulate his ancestors? The reason is the same, with good conditions and a good environment, why don't you accept it?"

"You, you, you quibble. ”

His face flushed, and he was so angry that he was short of breath.

His original intention was not to say that the ancestors had rules, but Liu Xiu misinterpreted the meaning, making it difficult for Yu Ge to refute.

Liu Xiu continued: "Elder Ge said that I was quibbling, so I will say it differently. ”

He snorted, but said nothing.

Liu Xiu continued: "Dare to ask Elder Ge, are you literate?"

"No reading, no literacy. Elder Ge shook his head and said confidently: "What do you do studying in the mountains? Can you eat as food? Can you exchange reading for food and 'meat'? In my opinion, reading is useless. ”

Liu Xiu laughed, his face full of disdain.

Yu Ge also smiled disdainfully, and said, "Lord Liu, you think reading is useful, then please talk about it." What's the use of reading in our mountains?"

Liu Xiu said: "To be bigger, read and reason, and open wisdom." ”

"For example, if there is a conflict in the cottage, someone must judge the good or the bad, so what is the basis for the judgment? If you don't read and don't understand reason, your judgment will be unfair and impartial. ”

"Elder Lee is a rough man, when you deal with things, it is likely that you will preconceived judgment on who is good and who is bad, and then directly punish the matter. But the reader is different, the reader will analyze, find the reason, ask who is wrong, where is wrong, how should he be punished, how should he be punished if he is punished, and how should he be taught to correct after punishment, so that he will not commit it again next time. ”

He looked at the people around him, and when he saw that the people around him were looking at him, he snorted and did not answer.

In fact, that's how he handles things.

He is in the tribe, and he thinks that what he judges is correct, and there is no analysis as Liu Xiu said, what he wants to correct his mistakes, and so on.

Liu Xiu's expression became more and more calm, and he continued: "It's hard to understand the big truth, and you are not convinced after listening to it. Well, I'll say something that is most practical to read. ”

"First, you can judge the weather after reading a book. For mountain people, it is best to go out hunting on a sunny day. If you just go out of the 'door' for an hour, and then you encounter a pouring rain, they all become 'chickens' in soup, and the wild beasts are hidden, how can you hunt?"

"Second, you can find water after reading books. Although there is a stream near Dazhai, who can guarantee that the stream will not be cut off? In this case, after reading the book, you can use the knowledge of the book to find a water source, or dig a well to get water. ”

"Third, you can understand arithmetic after reading books. Everyone has to understand the most basic arithmetic, otherwise you count ten 'chicken' eggs into nine 'chicken' eggs, so how can you do it?"

"Fourth, after reading a book, you can have 'meat' to eat. Why do you say that, because after reading the book, you can deduce from the traces on the ground where there will be wild beasts and where there will be animals, and then set traps for hunting. ”

"Fifth, you can make clothes after reading a book. For example, the clothes on your body, as long as you study and learn art, you can understand how to make clothes, which can be made of silk. ”

"Sixth ,......"

......

Liu Xiu constantly counted all kinds of uses, and said everything that was useful.

After hearing this, the corners of his mouth twitched.

Liu Xiu continued: "In the mountains, the use of reading books is so great? If you go out of the mountain, what are the benefits of reading? If you read books and open up your wisdom, then it is possible to become an official and be in charge of one party. ”

"For example, to be in charge of Youyang County, for example, to be in charge of Wuling County. ”

"The officials of the imperial court, those officials who have left their names in history, who are not people who have studied books? Although the people of Wuxi live in the mountains and forests and have no conditions to study for the time being, it does not mean that they will not have the conditions for the future. ”

"Elder Lee, if you don't study, you'll be like this for the rest of your life, just an old man. ”

"But do you want your children and grandchildren, your descendants, to have been hunting in the mountains for a living, relying on the mountains for food? What if there are no wild beasts left in the mountains?"

"Wuxi people have been in the mountains all the time because they don't have the opportunity to go out. Now that you have the opportunity, and you have the conditions to let your children go to school and get them out of trouble, why not give it a try?"

"Even if you can't study, after you leave the mountains and forests, you can still cultivate farmland, you can learn art, and you have a way to live. ”

Liu Xiu's eyes were sharp, and he said, "Elder Lee, do you understand?"

The expression on his face completely wilted, he sighed lightly, and said, "If you want to move out of the mountains and forests, I have no objection." When the elders of the other tribes heard this, they all had expressions of approval.

"Elder Lee, it's not good, your third grandson is dead, and the eldest grandson also has a slight sign of acne. Suddenly, a burly man walked in quickly, with a deep expression of horror on his face.

The so-called acne is the 'flower'.

With a sad face, he sighed lightly, waved his hand and said, "Cremate the third child, the boss is locked up, don't let him come out." Being able to survive is considered his creation. If you can't get through it, that's fate. ”

There are pox sores in the mountains, and the tribes have already dealt with them.

Whatever is contaminated, all are isolated.

Under the knees of Elder Leather, there were originally four grandchildren, the second and fourth children did not support them, and only the eldest and third children remained. Now that the third child is dead, and the eldest is about to die, the mood of the leather is extremely sad.

Liu Xiu heard the strong man's words and asked, "Boss's pox, is it just infected?"

"Yes!"

The strong man didn't know who Liu Xiu was, so he still replied.

Liu Xiu looked at the leather and said, "Perhaps, I can save the boss." However, the probability is no more than 30%. ”

"Really? Lord Liu, please. ”

Hope was ignited in his heart, and Sancheng was also hope. The boss has a slight acne and is isolated in solitary condition, and he will definitely die. Now Liu Xiu's words have raised hope for Yu Ge.

Yu Ge said loudly: "My lord, as long as I can save the boss, I am willing to relocate, I am willing to go out of the mountain." ”

At this time, Yu Ge had only one thought, which was to save the boss's 'sex' life.

Huang Hu has always been stuffy, he knows about acne, he has an expression of disapproval, and said in a deep voice: "Lord, acne is a terminal disease, once it is infected, you will definitely die." I don't recommend the lord to participate, please think twice. ”

Liu Xiudao: "Wuxi people are also people, and they are also people from Jingzhou. They are my people, and since I have the means, I cannot see death without salvation. Even if it's dangerous, give it a try. ”

Shamoko arched his hand and said, "Thank you, sir." ”

When he heard this, he was even more moved.

Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Don't thank me, I don't know if I can succeed." Immediately, Liu Xiu instructed someone to prepare a tool that needed to be used, and let people bring the cow to prepare to plant cowpox for the boss of the Lee family.

In this era, there are basically no medical devices, and even Liu Xiu wants to get close to the boss of the Zhuge family, which is also a great threat. Liu Xiu wrapped himself in three layers and three layers outside, smeared a layer of fish glue on his hands, and then inoculated the boss.

In addition, all other infected people in Wuxi have also been vaccinated.

After doing everything, Liu Xiu took off his clothes when he came back, burned them all, and then waited for news in Dazhai. The so-called cowpox vaccination, Liu Xiu also took a risk, because he didn't understand many principles, so he could only give it a try.

The rest of the wait is a torment for those who are quarantined, and it is also an ordeal for those outside.

Five days later, two of the more than a dozen people in quarantine died and were directly incinerated.

The rest of the people gradually got better and began to slowly 'improve'.

Seven days later, they all recovered. All the people took off their clothes, and then burned them all, and then Liu Xiu asked people to prepare drinks for disinfection, and then let everyone take a bath and change their clothes.

The boss of Elder Ge's family was finally saved.

In this regard, Zhang Ge respects Liu Xiu like a heavenly man and has great respect.

Wuxi people knew about Liu Xiu's actions and were also grateful to Liu Xiu. For a time, Liu Xiu had accumulated a high prestige among the people of Wuxi.
