Chapter 67: The Night Sky of the Prairie

"That boy doesn't like it? Which girl does not have spring" is a famous quote of the great German poet Goethe in "The Troubles of Young Werther".

The sky is clear, the sky is blue, the two clouds in front of him are more beautiful than the sunset, Gao Pet was also shouted by the prince to break the obsession just now, the face is redder than the sunset, the sweet water river is crystal clear, and the flowing water is murmuring.

"Prince Wang, there are generally two situations in this river sweetness. First, there is a mineral called calcium bicarbonate in the spring water, and many mountain springs have a sweet taste because of this thing. Another is that the soil contains such things as raw sugar, so the water is very sweet. But this is rare. Where mountain springs are sweet, there is usually limestone minerals, which are the ores used to refine lime. Therefore, the river water is sweet, and there is usually limestone for the production of lime cement on this mountain. In order to cover up the dilemma just now, Gao Zhong explained to the prince the reason for the sweetness of the river and wanted to divert the attention of several other people.

"Master Gao, there is sweet water, so is there bitter water?" At this time, the third princess came up and asked.

"Of course, there are several places in the Great Song Dynasty that have this bitter water, Sichuan, Shandong, and Henan, and the water that flows down the mountain is bitter, and the local people call it bitter water."

"And what is the cause of this bitter water?" The prince asked.

"That's because of a mineral called magnesium carbonate. The bitterness of seawater is due to the magnesium salts and heavy metal salts. ”

"This magnesium is also very useful, we need to use a kind of dolomite ore in steelmaking, and this ore is mainly this magnesium carbonate. He is also used to make refractory bricks. A kind of alkaline refractory brick made by our Gao family is mainly made of this material. Steel-making furnaces made of refractory bricks can last for a long time, unlike in the past, when they had to be rebuilt once or twice, and they can also be used to melt things at very high temperatures, such as Persian glass. ”

The prince listened very carefully, while Ren Cong took what Gao Zhong said to heart.

"You may think, I am a high pet and run all the way in this Western Xia just to see the mountains and water?"

"And what else is the reason for you to come here?"

"Of course, there is another reason, the treasures in this underground are often found in this valley and stream, why do you say?"

The prince waited for a few times to teach, and hurriedly asked:

"What's the reason for that?"

"Because the treasures in the land and the mountains have been washed away by the rain all year round, they have been washed at the bottom of the valley and river, and most of the floating soil has been carried away by the rain, and the treasures are heavier, and many will remain. Some will run up. ”

"If you don't all roll down heavy things, how can you let them run up." The prince was strange.

"That's not clear, let's go to the river and do an experiment!"

Gao Zhong found a sandy place with a strong water, and Gao Zhong put a big stone there. Under the washing of the current, the sand in front of the stone was washed away, and a pit slowly formed. After a while, most of the sand at the bottom of the stone was hollowed out, and the stone fell into the pit.

"Did you see that the stone took a step up?".

The prince and several others saw it with their own eyes. "Really! How did you know? ”

"Observe more and find out why!"

"Oh, it's late tonight, and we might find something out tomorrow as we go up the river!"

"Okay, we'll come back tomorrow!" The prince was excited. Ren Cong observed Gao Chong from the side, Gao Chong is really a good teacher, and he is sincere and inducing.

The grassland is very beautiful, stars have risen in the sky, and Gao Zhong stared at the back of the third princess with the prince and others, and thought about it. What a nostalgic day!

In October in the north, the temperature difference between day and night is very large, and the night of this grassland is a little cold, and in the open space of the camp, there are guards who light a bonfire, and several people chat in front of this campfire. In the depths of the grassland, the howl of wolves can be heard from time to time.

Gao pet has come to this era for more than half a year, in addition to the first half a month of recuperation period, high pet like a running machine has not rested, originally, the traverser has some benefits, but Gao pet has been busy, this more than half a year has not let go of the mind and body, like such a leisurely rest. Sitting on the stone beam by the river, Gao Zhong thought about his past life, his family, wife, and children, and I don't know what happened to them, maybe the pain of losing her husband and father should slowly subside, perhaps, the wife will soon have a new husband, and the daughter will have a new father. In this silent night, in this grassland where the clouds are chatting high, Gao Pet is a little lonely. hummed Li Shutong's "Farewell" in his mouth:

The grass is green on the side of the ancient road outside the long pavilion

The evening breeze blows the willow flute

Sunset Mountain Outer Mountain

The ends of the sky and the corners of the earth are half scattered

A cloudy wine is full of joy

Don't dream cold tonight

The grass is green on the side of the ancient road outside the long pavilion

I asked you when you were going

Don't linger when you come

The ends of the sky and the corners of the earth are half scattered

Life is a rare gathering

There are only many separations

The ends of the sky and the corners of the earth are half scattered

Life is a rare gathering

There are only many separations

Gao Pet hummed softly over and over again, and finally hummed out in a hoarse baritone. Thinking of his wife and children in his previous life, Gao Chong couldn't help but have tears in his eyes. A man, who talks eloquently during the day, talks about the past and the present, is handsome and chic, but there are times when he is vulnerable.

A hand put on Gao Pet's shoulder, as if to appease Gao Pet's lonely heart.

"Gao Gongzi, your song is so good!"

"Hmm"

"Homesick? At times like this, I often think about my father, the queen and the princess. ”

"Hmm"

"Since I was a child, I rarely saw my father and mother, and at nights like this, I would often think about them."

The wind in this late autumn is a little forgiving, listening to the princess speak, Gao Pet slowly got out of the past, turned around, took the hand of the third princess, and forgave me. Say to the princess:

"Princess Mingzhu, it's cold, let's go back early!"

"Master Gao, I rarely have such a time, let me stay by your side for a while. After I went back, I don't know when my father gave me to a man I didn't know to be his wife and give birth to a son for him, and I don't know what my fate would be in the future. So I usually try not to think about it, and I want to wait happily for that day to come. ”

"This is the first time I have come out, and I am free to look at the day, the water, and the mountain. Maybe this time will also be the last time I will come out. It's rare to sit under the sky and look at the stars. The third princess's voice was also a little choked.

Gao Zhong moved his body and gave up the seat he had sat on to the third princess, and his body temperature was still on the stone, so he would not be so forgiving.

"Sit down, I know, it's hard to be a royal daughter."

The third princess sat down with Gao Pet, and most of her body leaned on Gao Pet's body.

"It's like I've dreamed of days like this."

"I also dreamed of a hero who came to marry me with colorful auspicious clouds."

"But when I see my eldest sister and second sister getting married, I am sometimes disheartened."

"The second sister married Zong Han and became a concubine, although Zong Han is the generalissimo of Dajin, but he is old, except for the three days of the wedding, the second sister rarely sees him. Alone in Xijing, alone. Sometimes I really want to go to Xijing to see her and accompany her, but I can't. ”

"I received their letters and knew they weren't happy."

"In another two years, your sister will be even more bitter, and Zong Han won't have that much time!"

"Really?"

"If you sympathize with her, then let your father take her back then, that's an opportunity. But don't tell your father that I said it. ”

"Hmm"

"Princess, look at the stars in the sky, tomorrow will be a good day."

"Well, Master Gao, how did you live before, can you tell us about your past? I want to hear your story. ”

My past? Afterlife? Gao Pet is really a little embarrassed, the memory of Gao Pet in this life is confused, and although the memory of the previous life is clear, he is not the same world as this, and everything is incredible to the people in the world.

"Okay, I'll tell you a story. Far, far away, there is an island, and that island is huge, and the people on the island live a different life than we do. There's something there. They can fly in the sky like birds, they call them airplanes, they fly very fast, they can send me back from here to my mother in an hour, there is a kind of one that can run like a horse on the ground, but he doesn't eat grass, they eat something called gasoline, this car can carry tens of thousands of catties, it can also carry dozens of people, carry so many things and still run fast. ”

Is there really such a thing? The third princess was skeptical, but isn't this a story, anything can happen.

"There's also something called television, where if something happens in one place, people from far away can see it right away. If you have something to talk to someone who is thousands of miles away, you can use something called a phone to talk, for example, if we are far apart and I am home, when I miss you, I can talk to you through the phone, just like we are talking now, and I can hear you clearly. ”

"There was a young man on this island, and when he was seventeen years old, he went to college, which is like your college in Western Xia, where he studied for four years, and where he met his beautiful wife, because all the people there, both men and women, could go to school and go out to work, so he met her, a very virtuous and lovely woman. They don't need their parents' orders to get married, and they don't need matchmakers, it's completely based on each other's liking and disliking each other, and whether they have feelings or not. The year after graduating from college, they got married, and the girl became his wife. ”

"The people there call their wives lovers, which means those who love each other. They were very affectionate, and after another year, they had a very lovely daughter, the daughter's name was Wanqing, which was taken by her mother, the name was very poetic, and it was taken before the daughter was born, and they made an appointment, if they gave birth to a son, they would be called Feiyang, and if they gave birth to a daughter, they would be called Wanqing. After the birth of the child, it brought more joy to this happy family。。。。。 ”

This story is very long, there is no beginning, there is no end, even Gao Pet does not know the ending later, and Gao Pet is immersed in his own past story.
