On the shore of Dianchi Lake at the foot of the West Mountain in Kunming, Yunnan, four or five thatched huts are built next to Dianchi Lake, and on the shore of Dianchi Lake, there are many reeds and unknown aquatic plants growing. In the open courtyard in front of the thatched hut, a middle-aged man of thirty-eight or nineteen years old is sitting on an old bamboo chair, bathing in the spring sunshine while reading a book, with a leisurely attitude. Although the robe on his body had been washed white, it did not damage the elegance that emanated from his body in the slightest. He has a copy of "Mencius" in his hand, I don't know how many times I have read it, how many times I have turned it over, and the content in it can be memorized backwards, but he still has a lot of free time, and when he has time, he has to take it out and review it repeatedly, and he has to recite a few sentences, in the words of the Confucian sage, "review the old and learn the new", so as to understand the true meaning.
When he saw that there was a story told in the passage "A gentleman can be deceived in a way": one day, Confucius's student Zai Yu asked Confucius a very strange question: "Teacher, a gentleman, if we lie to him: 'Someone has fallen into a well!' Will he immediately jump down the well to save people?" Confucius frowned and replied, "How could it be? When the middle-aged man was chewing on the meaning of the story, he suddenly heard a child's tender and crisp voice shouting: "Daddy, Daddy!" He looked up and saw a few feet away from the courtyard on the shore of Dianchi Lake, a little boy with beautiful eyebrows at the age of eight or nine, naked and naked, standing on a mound, pulling his throat and calling loudly. The middle-aged man frowned and asked: "Xiangru, what's wrong with you, Dad is reading a book, don't disturb me, play your own!" The boy named Xiangru said: "Dad, look, I have come up with a new trick, I promise you haven't seen it before!" said with his back to Dianchi Lake, a beautiful somersault, turned backwards, "plopped" and fell into Dianchi Lake, only splashing a fist-sized splash, then disappeared into the water, and disappeared. The middle-aged man was about to stand up to stop it, but it was too late, so he shook his head and said, "Alas, this child is afraid that Sun Monkey has changed, how can he be so naughty!" Then he sat down and looked down at the book again.
After a long time, the boy called the same has not surfaced, the middle-aged man can't help but feel a little strange, in the past, the boy often joked with him and his wife, pretending to be drowned in the water, and the result is a false alarm every time, more than once, for this child has suffered a rattan board on the butt I don't know how much, but it has always been taught repeatedly, the couple has such a troublesome son, there is really no way at all. In the neighborhood and village, this kid is famous for his tricks, and the adults and children around him avoid him when they see him. This boy is naughty and naughty, but he is very intelligent, reads and writes, and often forgets it, and children of the same age are beyond the reach of him, which finally gives the family some comfort. As the saying goes: Knowing the son is better than the father. Although the middle-aged man knows his child very well, this time he has been in the water for too long, and he is tumbling backwards, what if his leg cramps in the water, or choking on the water, or encountering a piranha? He is an out-and-out landlubber, although he lives on the edge of Dianchi Lake all the year round, he can't learn to swim, so he can only stand up and shout loudly to the hut: "Qingluan, Qingluan, you come out quickly!" I only heard the voice of a woman in the house answer: "Alas, come out!" The voice fell, and out of the house came a beautiful young woman in her early thirties, her belly bulging, and it was not very convenient to walk, obviously pregnant.
This is a family of three, the man's name is Li Shiyuan, and the woman's wife is his wife, named Wu Qingluan, and the child is naturally their son Li Xiangru. Wu Qingluan was originally the only daughter of an old local scholar Wu Wenru, Wu Wenru is a well-known private school in this area, Wu Qingluan has been influenced by his father since he was a child, and he also knows Wenmo. One winter ten years ago, Wu Wenru got up early in the morning and was about to walk to Xilu Academy, a few miles away, to teach students, as soon as he went out, he saw a person lying in the haystack in front of the door. Wu Wenru lowered his body and called twice, but the young man did not answer, stretched out his finger to his nostrils to probe, only to feel a faint breath, thinking that it was to avoid the cold in the haystack at night, because the weather was too cold, and his clothes were thin, so he was frozen. Wu Wenru saw that people's lives were at stake, and he didn't go to class, so he went into the house and called his daughter Qingluan, and the father and daughter raised their heads and lifted their feet to carry the young man into the house, put him on the bed, and covered it with a quilt. Wu Wenru instructed Qingluan to boil a bowl of ginger soup in the kitchen, opened the young man's mouth and poured it down, and after a while, the young man groaned, and then slowly opened his eyes. When Wu Wenru saw him wake up, he asked, "Young man, who are you, and why do you sleep in my family's haystack?" The young man looked at the Wu father and daughter, and said in a weak voice: "Thank you so much for saving me." Wu Wenru shook his hand and said, "Let's not talk about this first, you just woke up, let's have a good rest!" and asked Qingluan to boil gruel in the kitchen, fed him to eat, and then went to class again. The young man drank the porridge and fell into a deep sleep until evening, when he was able to get out of bed. When Wu Wenru came back from school that night, the young man told his father and daughter about his life experience. It turned out that the young man's name was Li Shiyuan, a native of Changde, Hunan, two years ago there was a plague in his hometown, his parents died, and before he died, his mother told him that he had a distant uncle in Qujing, Yunnan. After the death of his parents, Li Shiyuan thought that he had no relatives and no reason in his hometown, so he traveled thousands of miles to Yunnan to seek refuge with his uncle, and expected Qujing, and when he inquired, he learned that his distant uncle had died of illness five years ago and had no relatives. Li Shiyuan was disappointed and empty, had to return to Hunan on foot, but the remaining little plate was robbed by the bandits halfway, the bag was like washing, this day he braved the cold, walked to the foot of the West Mountain, saw a family on the shore of Dianchi Lake, originally wanted to knock on the door to ask for something to eat, hungry and cold, only to go to the haystack in front of the door, then planted headlong, lost consciousness, woke up only to find that was saved by Wu's father and daughter. Wu Wenru looked at his face and felt that Li Shiyuan didn't seem to be lying, and sympathized with his pity, so he kept him for a while. After a period of contact, Wu Wenru found that Li Shiyuan was not only literate and hyphenated, knowledgeable and courteous, but also humble and open-minded, and after a long time, he fell in love with this young man, plus Wu Qingluan had no brothers and sisters since he was a child, and suddenly there was a man of the same age, and the two often worked together and chatted, very harmonious and harmonious, and slowly became affectionate. A year later, Wu Wenru married his only daughter Qingluan to Li Shiyuan, because there were no relatives in Hunan, Li Shiyuan broke off the idea of returning to his hometown and joined the Wu family. A year later, Wu Qingluan gave birth to a son, Wu Wenru named his grandson Xiangru, and the family of four lived happily. In May last year, the elderly Wu Wenru suffered from a lung disease and died with a kick on both legs. As soon as Wu Wenru died, there were only three people left in the family, but fortunately, at the end of the year, Wu Qingluan suddenly became pregnant, which made the couple really happy for a while. Because she was pregnant, Li Shiyuan felt sorry for her wife, and easily didn't let her go out, just stayed at home to raise the baby, at this time Wu Qingluan in the room heard her husband's call, walked to the courtyard, and asked: "Shiyuan, is it like messing around again?" Li Shiyuan replied: "It's not him, who else, alas, this child, really take him! No, he just jumped into the water, and it was already a cup of tea, and he didn't come up yet, I was worried that something would happen to him, so I asked you to come out and take a look." Wu Qingluan said: "He can't hold it for so long, it won't be really okay!" At that moment, the two approached the shore and shouted to the lake: "Similar, similar." After a few calls, I saw that the lake was quiet, and only a few seagulls were flying low and hovering on the lake, except that there was no response. Wu Qingluan also panicked, and said: "Shiyuan, what happened to Xiangru, what can I do?" Li Shiyuan paused: "I hate that I can't swim, and you are pregnant again!" Wu Qingluan said: "No, let's row into the lake to take a look!" As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a loud noise, and a small round head suddenly broke out of the water, and two water arrows spurted out of his mouth, shooting straight at Li Shiyuan and Wu Qingluan on the shore, and then grinned at the two. The two were caught off guard and were taken aback, in order to avoid the water arrows, they took two steps back at the same time, Wu Qingluan avoided it in a hurry, and sat on the ground with a "ah-yo". Li Shiyuan hurriedly leaned over and pulled her up, and asked with concern: "Qingluan, you didn't fall, did you!" and then pointed at Li Xiangru in the water and scolded: "You bastard boy, don't you know that your mother is pregnant with a child, and you still want to scare her? I..." I was so angry and anxious that I couldn't speak for a while, only gasping for breath.
Li Xiangru knew that the trouble was not small, so he didn't dare to make any more trouble, so he made a grimace at his parents on the shore, and "roared" and dived into the water again. Li Shiyuan sighed again and said, "This child, even his own parents have to play tricks, it is really a sin in the previous life. Wu Qingluan said: "Shiyuan, forget it, boys are always so naughty, fortunately, Xiangru's nature is not bad, and he will teach him slowly in the future." Li Shiyuan nodded and said, "Leave him alone, be careful of catching a cold, let's go back to the house!" said Wu Qingluan and slowly walked towards the house.
Just after walking a few steps, I heard a shout from afar on the lake: "Brother Shi Yuan, Brother Shi Yuan!"
