Cai Yong stroked his beard and shook his head again and again and sighed: "Let Tianming see and smile, the old man's little daughter was born to me when I was exiled by the court." In the past 12 years, I have been living in exile with my husband and eldest daughter, living a difficult life every day, and failing to bring up well, which is inevitably a bit rude. In addition, the old husband and his wife died early, and their health deteriorated, but fortunately, the two daughters took care of them a lot, and they were often able to enjoy the suffering, because the old man doted on them. Because of the pampering, it can't help but be a little rude. Also look at the sky and the sea. ”

He Bai smiled and arched his hand and said: "Miss Cai Er is innocent, innocent and sincere, everything she does is from her heart, and she has no intention of hypocrisy. I was overjoyed to see it, and I couldn't wait to have a sister like this, so how could I blame her. ”

"Good, good, good." Cai Yong nodded again and again and said, "Tianming is generous, I am very happy." Come, drink this cup to its heart's content. ”

He Bai and Cai Yong drank a glass of wine syrup, pretended to smack their lips, and said: "Mr. Bo Jiao, celebrities should drink fine wine, but this wine pulp is not worthy of Mr. Bo Jiao's identity." Among the gifts we just gave was a small jar of self-brewed wine. I would like to ask Mr. Bo to taste it. ”

Cai Yong clapped his palms and asked Cai Wenji and Miss Cai Er to bring the wine jar, and replaced it with a wide-mouthed wine jar. He Bai held the wine jar in his hand, slapped the mud seal with one palm, and suddenly a fragrant smell of rice wine rose. Cai Yong took a deep breath and immediately said, "Please fill it up." ”

He Bai smiled slightly, poured the wine into the wine rainbow, and saw that the rice wine was as pure as a clear spring, and the aroma of the wine was overflowing, and he was already drunk for three points before he drank it. Cai Yong's eyes lit up when he saw it, and he didn't wait for Cai Wenji to raise a spoon to scoop wine for him, so he was too busy to take a spoon and scoop wine. Then he took another sip, half-squinting his eyes, and savored it carefully.

In the middle of the ring, Cai Yongcai suddenly slapped the case and shouted: "Good wine, good wine." As he spoke, he took another spoon and scooped up a few glasses, and drank them all in one gulp, before he burped and laughed. Then Cai Yong cried again, and said: "The old man has tasted wine since he was young, and he has traveled to dozens of counties and counties in the north and south of the country over the years, but the wine sent by Tianming is the most pure and refreshing, which is deeply in my heart. Tianming, you don't hurt people a lot. If the old man does not have this wine to accompany the food in the future, what should you call the old man? ”

He Bai couldn't help but laugh when he saw it, but he didn't expect celebrities like Cai Yong to play a scoundrel and cry in order to ask for wine. This is called Cai Wenji, who has always been quiet, blushing and red-eared, and deeply ashamed of her father's scoundrel. But this is just right, I was looking for some excuse to apprentice, but I didn't want Cai Yong to send it to the door by himself.

He Bai immediately bowed his hand and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Bo Jiao, as long as Mr. Bo Jiao can agree to one of my things, I can send five catties of this good wine every day until Mr. Bo Jiao doesn't want to drink it, how about it?" ”

Cai Yong immediately put away his tears and shouted: "Don't say one thing, even ten things, I will agree." ”

Cai Mingji couldn't help but pout, the old father at home is always so rash, and he doesn't know what conditions He Bai has, so he hurriedly agreed to talk about it, if it can't be done, look at where his old face goes.

He Bai knelt on the table and bowed deeply before saying: "Although I have studied literature since I was a child, I like the world, and I parted from my father too early. It is often heard that Mr. Bo is very knowledgeable and rich in five cars. Therefore, I want to worship Mr. Bo Jiao as a teacher, follow Mr. to learn literature, not to seek fame in the world, but to learn the scriptures and righteousness, I don't know if Mr. will accept my stubborn stone. ”

Cai Yong listened, and immediately sat upright, thinking deeply in a serious manner, and only after a long time did he ask: "I don't know what classics Tianming has treated since childhood?" ”

He Bai bowed his hand and said: "He Bai's family is very miscellaneous, both mixed and chaotic. And he has been stubborn since he was a child, and although he has learned a lot, he is shallow. Especially the Confucian classics, He Bai has almost never studied them, and Mr. Bo Bai can treat He Bai as a beginner and teach them from a shallow place. ”

Cai Yong nodded, and asked again: "Those who are new to the classics of Confucianism, that is easy to teach." It's just that if Tianming forms an inherent concept in his heart because of family learning, it will be difficult to teach. Therefore, the old man needs to know what kind of knowledge is there in the Tianming Family? ”

He Bai was stunned, what have you learned since elementary school? There are many Chinese, mathematics, English, nature, geography, history, biology, chemistry, physics, music, art, and physical education, but my grades are too poor, so I enlisted in the army as soon as I graduated from high school. How do you introduce this?

He Bai thought about it for a while before he said: "He Baizhi's great-ancestor once aimed at cultivating and becoming an immortal, and what he learned was very messy and messy. Through the inheritance of several generations, to He Baishi, it can be said that astronomy, mountain geography, human history, animal and plant biology, miner engineering, military books and war strategies, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, everything, but there is no Huang Lao Confucius and Mencius. However, He Bai is stubborn and refuses to work hard, so that everything seems to understand and does not understand, which is ...... Does Mr. Bo think Bai can be taught? ”

After Cai Yong heard this, he suddenly showed a look on his face and asked: "Two days ago, I heard that Tianming had played a lecture on the court and the people's advice on preventing various natural disasters. This is the doctrine of the Ru family? ”

"Yes. This is a good method obtained by the ancestors after three generations traveled around the world, but for some reason it has not been widely told. He Bai is not talented, he was lucky to take the position of Yilang, and he should think of the people of the world, and he specially recommended this party to the court. He Bai replied.

Cai Yong frowned slightly, stroked his beard and asked: "Although I have not seen the original of the Tianming Edict, I have heard of the things in it, and where does the epidemic come from?" ”

He Bai arched his hand and explained: "'The Buddha said: If you look at a bowl of water, there are 84,000 insects in it, if you don't hold this mantra, it will be like eating the flesh of sentient beings. My ancestors were skeptical of this. Through careful inspection, it was found that there were not only insects in the bowl of water, but also microscopic worms everywhere in the world, including the breath that you and I breathed, inside and outside the body. There are many types of microscopic worms, which are not recognizable to the naked eye. It is beneficial and harmful to the human body, and should not be regarded together. ”

"The beneficiary, such as winemaking, is the labor of wine worms. Straw mushroom fungus is the multiplicity of mushrooms and insects. After a thunderstorm, there is Candida algae, which is a gathering of algae insects. In addition to the essence absorbed by the human body, there are still residual feces and fecal insects to help the fecal excretion. The pest is the worm that decays, the worm that corrupts, and the worm that pests the disease......"

Cai Yong looked at He Bai blankly, his heart was like a surging cloud, deafening. After hearing the suggestions in He Bai's book, Cai Yong also thought of many possibilities in his heart, but he never thought of such a strange statement. Is there a mistake between Ho Bai and his ancestors? But when it comes to these various microscopic insects, it seems to be very reasonable, and it is impossible to refute it.

Cai Yong asked urgently: "I wonder if this invisible insect is really invisible?" ”

"The worms are not visible, but they can be viewed with a borrowed instrument. It's just that it's a hassle to make it...... Even skilled craftsmen can take years to make. "The world is about to be in chaos, who has the time to do a microscope, He Bai shook his head again and again, and said with a sense of shirk.

"How many years? OK. Cai Yong said with some joy, it's only a few years, and with his own body, he can afford to wait. Cai Yong asked again: "I don't know where this drought and flood disaster came from?" ”

He Bai explained: "The earth is like a cauldron, the sky is like a pot lid, and the scorching sun is the salary. The scorching sun boils the water of rivers, lakes and seas to form water vapor, which gathers more and more, and becomes rain clouds in the sky. When the scorching sun is blocked by clouds of water vapor, the earth cools. It's like a fire being pumped, the water vapor drops by itself, and the rain is majestic. However, the rain clouds are too light and often follow the wind. Wherever you go, those who have a lot of rain become waterlogged, and those who have little rain become drought. ”

"My ancestors traveled far to Kunlun to visit immortals, and found that the source of the great rivers and rivers of the main water sources of my China is in the extreme west, and the billion-year-old glaciers on the peaks of Kunlun. The more rainfall on the Kunlun peaks, the thicker the glaciers, the more water there are in the big rivers and rivers, and the less on the contrary. Too much will become a flood, too little will also become a drought. ”

Cai Yong took a deep breath, closed his eyes and pondered quietly for a moment, and nodded lightly. I basically understand and comprehend the statement of this drought and flood disaster. What He Bai said is good, and the truth is exactly like this, Cai Yong is full of poetry and books, but he can think clearly.

Cai Yong asked again: "Where does the locust plague come from?" ”

"Flying locusts are warm-loving insects, and drought has many benefits for their reproduction, growth and survival. In dry times, the water content of plants is low, and locusts feed on it, which grows extremely fast and has extremely high fertility. On the contrary, heavy rain and dampness have many adverse effects on the growth of locusts. Therefore, locust infestation starts from drought, and after drought, it is necessary to beware of locust infestation. ”

Cai Yong took a deep breath again, and asked with a heavy face, "There is no locust god in the world?" ”

"There is no locust god in the world, only wicked people who pretend to be evil under the guise of the locust god. Moreover, the flying locusts are non-toxic, and occasionally the food is beneficial, and when the locusts have no food, the locusts can be caught and fried for food. ”

Cai Yong asked anxiously: "Where does the harm of earth movement come from?" ”

He Bai frowned, it is difficult to say this earthquake in a way that the ancients could understand. After thinking about it, he said: "The ancestors are weak, and they can't really know the specific cause of the damage of the ground movement, but they also have some guesses. The earth where we live is not a single piece, but several pieces that float on the sea, and because the earth is heavy, the sea is difficult to push for many times. ”

"But after all, the earth is unstable, and there will be a moment when it will be pierced by dripping water. At the junction of several pieces of earth, as long as there is a slight movement or impact, the ground will move. However, for us and others, the vastness of the earth is boundless, and even the slightest movement can cause great harm to us and other human beings. This is the harm of the earth's movements. ”

Cai Yong listened to He Bai's explanation, like listening to a book from heaven, stunned, but also relished, hungry and thirsty. Even the two little beauties of the Cai family also stared at He Bai with bright eyes, wanting to cut He Bai's brain and see why He Bai knew so many strange things. It seems that in their understanding, including the ancients, human thoughts come from the heart, not from the brain.

In the end, He Bai said: "With the efforts of three generations, my ancestors found that the more they knew, the smaller they became. I want to ask for the fairy road, but the fairy road is slim, and I can't ask for it. Therefore, my father forbade me to pursue the immortal path anymore, and even expelled me from my hometown. I have no home to return to, and I am alone. ”
