Chapter 8: Offering Treasure
Bian He, a Chu person, got a bi by chance, offered the king of Chu Li, and was cut off on his left foot; the second dedication to King Wu of Chu, who was cut off on his right foot; No one in the Chu Kingdom knows the treasure, but Bian He's heart to offer the treasure has never changed. After King Wen of Chu ascended the throne, Bian He continued to offer treasures, and the treasures were finally recognized, and the world called them "He's Bi".
A picture of time traveling through a thousand years......
Many years have passed, and Bian He at this time is no longer the heroic jade picker of the year, I saw him kneeling on the bluestone steps, his hair has turned gray, his teeth have fallen out, and he has been unable to eat......
He knew that he didn't have much time left, so he had no time to clean his face, let his hair hang low, and only trembled and sat on his knees in the back basket with the support of his youngest son "Xi"...... I saw that he suddenly pointed to the sky with one hand, beat his chest with the other, hoarse in his mouth, and silent in his throat.
After half a ring, he suddenly exposed the green tendons on his right hand, bent his fingers like hooks, and dug directly into his eyes that had already dried up, and his eyes that wanted to cry without tears were actually dug out by him Two blood marks, until the moment when the blood dripped into the original stone in his arms, he no longer moved, but was sad...... Still stubbornly standing outside the palace gate!
"Daddy...... Let's go, I'll carry you home, let's not offer treasures? ”
Bian Xi, who has long been an adult, knew the ending, but he was still completely shocked by the scene that his old father had just done, and his heart seemed to hurt to the extreme, so unconsciously, a resentment and anger gradually rose in the depths of his heart......
Over the years, how many hardships and sins have you suffered in order to offer treasures? Mother, grandmother, are no longer there, brother Bian Sui, sister A Zhu, due to bandits and wars, have also been lost, only he Bian Xi is still by his father's side, vowing to help him fulfill his wish to offer treasure!
In the cold wind, Bian Xi roared angrily, suddenly raised his head to the sky and roared, the sound of the waves went straight to the sky, through the nine days without stopping, until the sound of the long whistle slowly dissipated, he immediately laughed again, and looked at the tall palace gate without anger...... Slowly raised his hand and got up, ready to break into the palace in person?
"Hey, stop...... I know that you have the ability and the ability to open this palace gate, but we can't break the rules here, listen to my father's advice, live for the jade, die for the jade, this is my life! ”
The old voice made Bian Xi look back at his old father Bian He, and what caught his eye was the face of the ravines and vicissitudes, as well as the broken sleeves that were already empty in the two trouser legs......
The mountain wind hit, the shape was erect, the hair moved, and the clothes were dancing, disturbing not only Bian Xi's heart, but also the persistence of continuing to stand motionless outside the palace gate as a son with his father!
After being cut off twice, Bian He once held the original jade stone that looked like a stone, but was actually a beautiful jade, and cried bitterly for three days and three nights......
When others told him that there were more people who had their feet cut off, why did you cry so sadly, Bian He's answer was: "I'm not sad because my feet were cut off, I was sad because I was a treasure jade but I was seen as a stone, and I was sad that I was a loyal person but I was said to be a liar!" ”
At this time, the state of Chu has changed the ruling power of King Wen, Bian He heard that King Wen is benevolent, good at governance, and knows right from wrong, so he asked his youngest son Bian Xi to use a basket to send him outside the tall and majestic palace gate again!
In the main hall, King Wen listened to the report of the attendants, saying that outside the palace gate, there were father and son with stones to offer treasures, Bian He had broken feet, lying in front of the door on his side, bouldering and crying, mourning could not be stopped, tears and blood!
King Wen had already heard about him, so he asked him again: "There are thousands of people who have cut their feet today, why are you crying so much?"
Ka He heard the voice, did not raise his head, and replied in a choked and hoarse voice: "I am not hurting myself, I am sad for its precious jade, but everyone mistakenly thinks it is a stone, which is ridiculous to the extreme!"
If the sky does not deceive me, may my king test its authenticity and return my innocence...... "Saying that blood is oozing from the eye sockets again!
Bang Dang...... Crunch...... Crunch...... The heavy vermilion lacquer palace gate was slowly opened by the guards......
Above the main hall, Bian Xi, who seemed to be sitting and not sitting, half squatting and half kneeling, held his father who was lying on his side with his hands, looking at his already broken body, like autumn wind and falling leaves, trembling...... Bian Xi's heart was extremely painful, with a look of resentment, he looked up, and met the gaze of King Chu Wen, he immediately got up and glared angrily!
Who's next? Registered? My king is here, must he not be rude? Don't kneel yet......
