Chapter 40 Hiding from the Sky and Crossing the Sea
All the way, they didn't have time to drink water, so they hurried on their way, and from the sun still hanging in the east, it was actually hanging in the west. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info It's finally almost here, because the stone monument on the side of the road is printed with "Haojia Village".
Liu Erstick encouraged Zhao Yi: "Yi'er, hold on, it's coming soon." ”
"I'm fine, uncle!"
"Then let's get up to speed. ”
"Uh-huh. ”
Liu Erstick saw the village and the smoke of the cooking, he knew that it should be here, but he didn't know where Hao Yan's family lived, so he looked left and right along the way, hoping that someone would show them the way, and they continued to walk forward, an old man over sixty years old walked past them with a cane, Liu Erstick saluted very politely: "Old man, may I ask, is there a family surnamed Hao in your village?"
"Yes, yes, but I'm going east here, just east of the village, I don't know if there is anyone at home, because Hao Bai is an official in the imperial court, and the family has gone to the capital. The old man coughed and said in a slur manner.
"Thank you, old man!"
"No, good luck!"
Liu Erstick and Zhao Yi nodded towards the old man and walked towards the easternmost village, hoping to gain something.
"Uncle, it must be that house, right? The thatched huts have collapsed, and it seems that no one has lived in them for many years. Zhao Yi pointed to the collapsed, dilapidated thatched hut not far away and said.
"Uh-huh, I'll go over and have a look. ”
Zhao Yi nodded, and walked quickly to the long gate outside the courtyard, the left and right sides of the door seal were engraved with "Hao Bai is only dedicated to Gao Tang, Hao Yan is willing to be the court in his life", and the horizontal couplet on the top is engraved with Hao Bai Rock.
Zhao Yi turned back to his uncle and said, "Uncle, this is it, it turns out that Uncle Hao Yan's father is called Hao Bai!"
"How do you know?"
"Just look at this couplet, he didn't tell you about his father?"
"Yes, he never mentioned it, he hid it from us for so many years, he kept saying that his parents died when he was very young, that he was a helpless orphan. ”
"Hao Bai is only dedicated to Gao Tang, and Hao Yan is willing to work for the court all his life. A good couplet, written the purpose of the struggle of two generations, the predecessors for the high hall, the younger generations for the court, it can be seen that the implication of this couplet is: Hao Bai is dedicated to entering the court to struggle, hard work, Hao Yan has to plot for the court all his life. ”
"Yes, this chivalrous man explained it right, and there is a story here. A passer-by who was about the same age as Liu Erstick said.
"Oh, what kind of story is it?" Liu Erstick asked the passer-by.
"About 30 years ago, Hao Bai because of learning a good martial arts, Qin Shi Huang (Ying Zheng) exterminated the Six Kingdoms, passing through our village, Hao Bai led us villagers to resist, single-handedly broke many of Qin Shi Huang's subordinates, Qin Shi Huang cherished talents like him, must dig him up to serve himself, but first sent General Meng Tian to persuade, he did not agree, he was unwilling to live or die, injured Meng Tian, Meng Tian had no choice, had to go back and let Li Si go, Li Si went and was injured and came back to report, Qin Shi Huang still refused to give up, he personally went out, Hao Bai did not dare to do it to Ying Zheng this time, and Ying Zheng's heart of cherishing talents was moved, their family went to the world with Yingzheng. ”
"So that's the case, I can't see that Hao Bai is still a tough guy, Ying Zheng actually cherishes talents to this extent, no wonder he can unify the six countries. Zhao Yi said with a sigh.
"Then what is the story of this couplet, you haven't explained it to me yet!" Liu Erstick still wanted to inquire about it.
"Hao Bai, since he was a child, has been practicing martial arts desperately, carefully studying the hundred schools of thought, and thinking that he will rule the Six Kingdoms by himself, or meet a Ming monarch. So, he made an agreement with the little Hao Yan and wrote this couplet to inspire himself and his son, and as a result, his son sacrificed his life to the court since he was a child. ”
"I see, thank you, go get busy. ”
"Okay. The passer-by left.
"This Hao Bai, in order to make himself an official for generations, did not expect to treat his son like this. Zhao Yi said to his uncle.
"Yes, it's a bit selfish, if his father became the emperor at that time, there would be no difference between him and Qin Shi Huang, for his own selfishness, regardless of the people of the world, he only cares about building a large number of buildings. ”
"Then this Hao Bai is dead now?"
"Of course he didn't die, he is still an official in the imperial court, and he is a celebrity around the emperor, and now we have confirmed that Hao Yan is the son of Hao Bai, which means that Hao Yan was deliberately arranged by his father to enter Shushan to learn art, and he has always been a line between the imperial court and Shushan. ”
"Yes, uncle, people like him are the most terrifying......"
His uncle nodded at him, and then looked at the crumbling and dilapidated hut with stunned eyes.
