Chapter 9 of the First Sight
Song ignored his blindness and desperately groped his way forward. After falling down a few times, he touched a branch as a cane, and walked forward with his hands dancing. The farther away from the county seat of the county, the better, you can't stay here, go away and fly high.
Later, under the guidance of well-wishers, I found a doctor surnamed Wu who called the disease. After dressing Song's wounds, Dr. Wu said that he had to buy his ancestral foot wash to cure his blindness, otherwise it would be easy to worsen necrosis and suffocate his head. Song smiled bitterly and refused, and took out the silver from the burden to settle the bill. The doctor, after seeing the glitter of the large gold ingots in the baggage, asked where Song's horse was, and it was said that he was going to pat the horse's buttocks. Dr. Wu quickly thought about what he could sell to this rich blind man in his mind, and he thought of his ancestral grave from the grass in the corner. In the end, he had a flash of inspiration and asked Song Na if he would take a concubine, saying that he had a little girl, although he was not beautiful now, but when he was a child, he was a "noble" daughter who was a sinking fish and a goose, a shy flower in the closed moon, loved by everyone, and a flower blooming (500 adjectives are omitted here).
Song thought that his wife, children, friends and relatives would never be able to contact him in the future, and he couldn't help but look gloomy when he was a blind man who went away. I was also a little comforted to know the fact that the person who robbed the convoy and robbed the gold gave him 4 catties of gold and some broken silver in the baggage.
In the end, he agreed to marry Dr. Wu's daughter, but Song Sanjing said that he would have to leave here and live with his daughter in a distant land. Song Sanjing gave Wu Ai and his father-in-law a pound and a half of gold as a dowry, and everything in the Wu family, including the worn-out pedicure knife, trembled with joy. Wu Ai danced and quickly flipped through the medical books, found the content about the eye injury, his excited hands trembled and tore the bandaged cloth and bandaged it again according to the correct method, and looked at the painful and trembling Song Sanjing happily and said: "The eye cannot be cured, it can only be bandaged like this." ”
Song Sanjing stayed for a few days and took Wu's daughter to the north.
On the way, Song had already realized what had happened. Although his eyes are blind now, he feels that his heart is brighter: I reported to the assassin that I was abusing my power for personal gain, and it must be the group of people who robbed me who filled my pockets, and they expected that the assassin would transport the gold out after I was punished, so they waited halfway to intercept and seize the gold. The way the scribe told me to be blind and keep saying, "I'm blind, I don't know who" is very ingenious. Because then people will think I'm crazy and let my guard down. The order given by the Assassin was that if Song confessed, he would be punished on the spot, and if Song did not admit the crime, he would be escorted to the Assassin's residence. Don't drive to offend me in the past, and deliberately put me to death. Don't drive and put me to death whether I confess or not, but seeing that I was already crazy, and seeing that I said "I don't know who" was an obvious surrender, he gave up the idea of killing me and took me away. The gold captors had already heard that I was crazy, and besides, they were blind enough to see their faces, so they let me go without threat.
Song Lao said to Liu Suishui: "Since then, it has been like an initiation, and I have sighed all the way to the prophet of the three scribes. It is believed that under the sky, the ingenious mystical person has such magical powers, which makes people endlessly admire. Now it can't be said to be an eye-opener, but it is a happy world. Later, I became obsessed with metaphysics, followed the example of the three scribes, and from then on I took divination as a profession, hoping to relieve the misfortunes of the world, reveal an unfortunate future, or benefit the people. ”
Liu Suishui was chilled when he heard this, and said: "It's really too mysterious, and suddenly I'm full of curiosity about the three scribes, it's really lucky to have such a person in the world." It's a pity that people in the world have eyes and limbs, but they don't believe the words of gold and jade. I never expected you to have such an opportunity, sir, which is embarrassing. ”
"It's hundreds of miles away, and I have Wu to accompany me all the way. When I arrived in Jing County, I found that the feng shui here is good, clean and natural, there are plains and rocks, so I settled here and planned to spend my life here. My husband and wife searched everywhere and saw a chic house in the county seat, which was originally the private residence of a famous local doctor, who was going to move elsewhere, so he was temporarily free and wanted to sell. I think that a medical practitioner is dedicated to relieving people's pain, and he is also a famous doctor, so he should have Ling Ran and righteousness. So he took out 2 catties of gold to buy this house, tidied up a little, and lived here. It's this house now. ”
The burning three long incense sticks have burned out at this time, and the indoor aroma is strong. Song Lao and Liu got up with the water and walked out of the incense room and came to the terrace on the second floor. Summoned Wu's wife up, drank tea and admired the moon together, and talked about the evaluation of Taoism. The dome above is vast, the full moon is in the sky, and the stars are shining.
Every day, Liu Suishui accompanied Song Lao in fortune-telling. The old husband and young wife are warm and approachable. Liu Suishui used to be ostracized and criticized and often felt cold and painful, but now the friendliness of the old husband and wife has dissolved the ice in his heart, and he feels that the world is broad again, not the pessimistic thinking of the past. Feeling the warmth of his heart, he swore that he would repay them in the future, and he had heard the truth of receiving the grace of a drop of water, and that he would repay each other when a spring of water was reciprocated.
Liu Suishui once proposed to let Song Lao divinate the future for himself, Song Lao pondered for a moment, stroked his beard, and then said: "My fortune telling is for the world, and divination for myself and those close to me is not effective, and I will talk about it later." However, intuitively, you are gifted and intelligent, and you will definitely be able to become a pillar of talent. In this way, I will give you a copy of the "Tao Te Ching", written by Taishang Laojun, although this book does not talk about the detailed rules of practice, but it has a primitive righteousness. Liu Suishui was full of doubts and joy.
The study of the Song family is full of books, not only the paper books that appeared after Cai Lun, but also many classical bamboo slips. There are not only the works of celebrities, but also the unique books collected by Song Lao over the years.
Liu followed the water to get the old Song Dynasty, and recited the scriptures in his spare time every day, and the level was getting higher and higher. After reading the book collection in less than three months, I have reached the realm of memorizing the books I love. My favorite books are "Liutao", "Guiguzi" and "Historical Records", and the people I admire the most are the first strategist Jiang Ziya and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
In the past, the wit of the willow with the water was only based on natural talent, and now the wisdom of the willow with the water is the essence of the book. Song Lao loves talents like life, treats him like a parent, and teaches him all his life experience and wisdom. Liu Suishui felt that his soul had been sublimated, and the path of life was gradually clear, and it seemed that there was a light to illuminate his life.
After 3 months like this, it was the eve of the birthday of Song's old wife Wu. This Wu family has no hobbies in his life, but since Song Lao once gave her a piece of jade and explained the story of jade, she has a hobby of collecting and appreciating all kinds of beautiful stones and jade. Out of control, the special wooden cabinet under the stairs is full of collections collected over the years, Hetian jade, Dushan jade, Xiuyu, and turquoise are all necessary. As she deepened, she also had a unique understanding of all kinds of jade and stone.
