When I was a child, I often heard people say that they wanted to go to the rivers and lakes.

At that time, I didn't know what rivers and lakes were. I asked Master Eight Spears, what are rivers and lakes?

Master Eight Spears pointed to the rivers and asked, "What is this?"

I said, "Creek." ”

Master Eight Spears said, "A big river is a river, and when it flows together, it is a lake." Rivers and lakes are water, and where there is water, rivers and lakes are rivers and lakes. ”

I said, "Master, I want to go to the rivers and lakes." ”

Master Eight Spears said, "Why?"

I said, "There are fish to eat in the rivers and lakes." ”

In fact, what Master Eight Spears said is the most superficial meaning of the rivers and lakes, big rivers and lakes, and water is rivers and lakes. However, the meaning of rivers and lakes is not so simple. The Jin army went south, drove the people from the north to the south, crossed the Yangtze River, crossed the big lake, and fled all the way south.

At that time, the rivers and lakes were a road, a road of peace and stability, no matter how much bitter blood and tears people shed on this road, how many life and death partings, what they asked for was nothing more than an inch of shelter. However, the country is ruined, the mountains and rivers are broken, and the road that many people have stepped on is vain at the end.

A group of six of us walked along the ancient road all the way to the north, towards Lin'an Mansion. Three days later, we arrived at Shaoxing Mansion.

Shaoxing Mansion was originally known as Yuezhou. In the fifth year of Jianyan, Emperor Gaozong visited Yuezhou, and suddenly on a whim, he called to change the yuan. He claimed to be the Zhongxing Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, comparable to Emperor Guangwu and Tang Xuanzong. Therefore, it takes the meaning of "Shao as Zhongxing", rebuilt Yan for the first year of Shaoxing, and by the way, Yuezhou was changed to Shaoxing.

At that time, the common people did not understand the truth and could not appreciate the painstaking work of the saints. Niujiazhuang was changed to Zhaojiazhuang, and the people of Niujiazhuang were naturally dissatisfied, thinking, this was not discussed with us.

Therefore, people still colloquially call Yuezhou and refuse to change their words.

Gaozong was extremely dissatisfied with this, thinking that the decree was not working, which would damage the emperor's prestige, so he issued a summon and said, "Those who speak more than the state will be given fifty rods." It means that whoever dares to say "Yuezhou" again will beat him for fifty boards.

The power of the imperial court is strong, and the holy order is carried out, and the officials of Yuezhou have visited the streets. Signs were all over the streets. The elegant and direct quotation of the sentence in the holy decree, "Shao Yishi's grand rest, a hundred years of prosperity", but such a sentence is not understood by ordinary people at all. The rude one wrote "Whoever doesn't change his mouth, all the animals will be taken away", and everyone immediately understood.

Under the obscenity of the government, the common people scolded their mothers and changed Yuezhou to Shaoxing.

Since then, "Yuezhou Inn" has been changed to "Shaoxing Inn", "Yuezhou Qianzhuang" has been changed to "Shaoxing Qianzhuang", and even "Yuezhou Bun Shop" has been changed to "Shaoxing Bun Shop".

When we came to Shaoxing, it was 12 years of Shaoxing. Just six months ago, Song and Jin were reunited, ending a fifteen-year war. Five months ago, Yue Fei, the general of the main battle faction, died tragically.

After entering Shaoxing Mansion, the first thing we did was to find an inn to live in. In response to the call of the imperial court, we stayed in the "Shaoxing Inn".

Bumped all the way, don't say it's us, the frame was shaken apart.

However, when I saw that the garden was calm and relaxed, I kept smiling all the way, twisting the Buddhist beads in my hand, and reciting scriptures such as "color is not different from emptiness" from time to time, and suddenly my curiosity arose, and I asked, "Master, which temple are you from?"

Yuantong said: "Shaolin Temple." ”

I was taken aback and said, "Didn't the people of Shaolin Temple all die when they fought against Jin in Yangzhou?"

"I didn't go at that time. ”

I asked, "Why?"

Yuantong said: "At that time, I had already been expelled from Shaolin. ”

He was very calm. Expulsion from the division is usually an unspeakable scandal, but I was really touched by the fact that he was still able to tell him frankly at this time. I thought to myself, it is really a high-ranking monk who sees everything in the world so plainly.

I asked, "Why?"

Yuantong said, "The abbot's dog is dead. ”

I was puzzled and asked, "You killed you?"

Yuantong said, "A monk cannot kill. ”

I was even more puzzled and asked, "Why is that?"

Yuantong said: "The abbot ordered me to spend time for the undead, and then bury me with a good life." ”

I was still puzzled and asked, "You didn't do it?"

Yuantong said: "I took two disciples to spend it in the back mountain. ”

I was completely blinded and didn't know what it was all about, and asked, "Why on earth is that?"

Yuantong said: "After I recited the scriptures of the past life, according to the rules of Buddhism, I built a fire, put the corpse on the demolition pile, and performed the cremation ceremony, but I didn't expect the dog to become more and more fragrant." ”

I asked, "And then?"

Yuantong's smile suddenly disappeared, revealing a lot of remorse, and he said, "Then, I went to fetch another jug of wine." ”

I still didn't understand, and was about to continue asking, when suddenly a big hand reached out and slapped me on the back of the head. Li Xiaoqian suppressed his throat and said fiercely: "Are you stupid?"

The second thing I hate the most in my life is that people call me stupid.

This matter originated from my eldest brother, Zhao Yujia. At that time, on Yandang Mountain, because he was strong and strong, he was incorporated into the robbery team, and he mingled with the rough and savage bandits for a long time, and learned a lot of banditry.

That day, the eldest brother was laughing with a group of bandits, and I walked by, and he shouted, "Dan Bing, come here!"

Everyone laughed.

At that time, I was in a hurry to find Zhao Xiao'e, and I didn't want to deal with him. But after all, the eldest brother is my relative, and in full view of everyone, if I don't pass, I will inevitably fall into the prestige of the eldest brother. So, I walked over.

The eldest brother said, "I'll tell you a story." Once upon a time there was a fool who, no matter what people asked him, he said no. Have you heard the story?"

I said, "No." ”

The big guy smiled.

The eldest brother asked, "You really haven't heard of it?"

I said, "No." ”

The eldest brother asked, "Have you eaten?"

I said, "No." ”

The eldest brother asked, "Did you bring any money?"

I said, "No." ”

The eldest brother asked, "Are you a fool?"

I got impatient with the question, and without thinking, I said, "No." ”

A group of people burst into laughter.

Since then, I have become a recognized fool in Lingfeng Village. When all the bandits saw me, they had to ask, "Have you eaten?", "Did you bring any money?", and so on.

Later, Ma Weijin knew about it, and he was very angry and beat up his eldest brother. He said, "Lao Tzu's guards are fools, so what is Lao Tzu?"

I carried my bruised brother back into the room. The eldest brother said: "Look, this world is like this, even if you are a stupid dog, as long as you follow the right master, no one dares to say that you are stupid." ”

I said, "I'm not a dog. ”

The eldest brother bared his teeth and had a painful expression on his face, and said, "I'm just making an analogy." ”

Since then, no one dares to call me a fool anymore. But they still laughed at me in private, and I hated the word "stupid" because of this, and if someone said I was stupid, I would definitely be furious, and then rush up and fight with the other party, even if I was beaten all over my body, I would defend my dignity.

At this time, I suddenly heard Li Xiaoqian scolding me for being stupid, and I was immediately furious, and I was about to beat him with my fist.

The fist had just been raised above my head when suddenly, a hand reached out and poked me in the back.

I was caught in the acupuncture again.

Yuantong walked behind me with a smile and said, "You swore that you couldn't hit anyone." ”

I said, "He called me stupid." ”

Yuantong said: "Amitabha, good, good. ”

I saw that his head was neither dotted nor shaken, and I couldn't guess what he was trying to say, so I asked, "What do you mean?"

YTO said: "All living beings are equal, and fools are also human beings, and they cannot be discriminated against." ”
