Chapter 222: A Life of Seclusion
Fan Li has always been resourceful, and he has calculated many times. According to his calculations in his heart, he accurately calculated that the pursuers could find their whereabouts, and when the time came for the pursuit, he discussed with Xi Shi, and decided that every time the two of them lived in seclusion, it would not exceed three months, and after three months, no matter whether the pursuers arrived or not, they would inevitably find another place and live in seclusion again. This method really worked, and the pursuers were always Fan Li and Xi Shi left with the front foot, and they just arrived with the back foot, which was not bad at all.
Although Fan Li's plan is effective, but he knows that he can only hide for a while, but he can't hide for a lifetime, the longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it is for the two of them, if it is like this for a long time, it is not a matter after all, knowing that sooner or later the two of them will be chased by the pursuers sent by the king of Yue, and the generals in the chasing soldiers have many strong martial arts, and their martial arts are not good, and they are arrested by exhaustion, which is also reasonable, but normal. It's just that he is reluctant to give in easily, from the chasing soldiers, carrying Xi Shi to meet the Yue King Goujian, only thinking that even if the two of them are hiding in such a way, as long as they can hide for a day, then they will stay together for one more day, therefore, the idea of love is used to the mind, as long as it is so, the heart wishes.
The two eloped and fled, footprints everywhere, all over the south of the Yangtze River, its romantic deeds, among the people in the place they passed, widely left behind, therefore, most of the later people, most of them believed in this matter, praised Fan Li Xishi two pursuit of free love of pure love, the two deeply admired and admired.
One day, the two of them went to a small village in Deqing County, saw that the mountains and rivers here are beautiful, the scenery is quite good, so they temporarily lived here and lived a secluded life of male farmers and female weavers.
In order to facilitate the villagers to walk the road, Fan Li hired a bridge, and later generations learned that it was Fan Li and Xi Shi who had been to the footprints of the two people, so they named Xi Shi Dou Village for this village, and the bridge was named "Xi Shi Painting Bridge".
Later, the two traveled to Jiaxing County, where they opened a shop to do silk business, and the business was booming.
In less time, the chasing soldiers arrived. Fan Li and his wife then disguised themselves and sneaked away.
One day. To Dingshu Town, Yixing County, the two saw that there were many caves in this town, so they chose two caves to hide and live.
In the cave, the two of them had nothing to do. Play with the dirt. The local soil is different from other places, very sticky, Fan Li and his wife have been playing for a long time, and they have made a new type of utensils in the world, ceramics. Mr. and Mrs. Fan Li are known as the originators of pottery by later generations. Hence this. Soon, Xi Shi invented the "fire simmering method".
After that, the pursuers arrived. The two are out.
Later generations learned that Fan Li and Xi Shi had been to these two holes, so the two holes were named "Mu Li Cave", "Xi Shi Cave", the origin of the name, is actually the name of the descendants, the name of the circle.
Fan Li and Xi Shi hid and hid like this, hiding and hiding, and the pursuers of the Yue Kingdom traveled day and night, non-stop. The pursuit was very urgent, and in the end, all the hidden places in the two realms of Wu and Yue had been hidden, and there was really no hiding place to hide. In a hurry, Fan Li said: The extremely dangerous place in the world is actually a very safe place, the so-called: "The extreme of things must be reversed, and the soldiers are not tired of cheating." "That's a good forecast. After discussing with Xi Shi, he immediately made a dangerous move and drove a light boat on Wuli Lake. I want to enter the Taihu Lake, in the hinterland of Wuyue, and hide on the Taihu Lake Islands.
The two of them sailed into the Wuli Lake like this. Seeing that there was an island in the lake, called Wuli Island, he stationed a boat on this island and lived in seclusion on the island.
Fan Li saw that there were hundreds of zhang around Wuli Lake, and the water was clear to the bottom. The lake water is reeled and silky white. Enjoyable. Often with Xi Shi into the lake to fish and hunt, fishing for a living. Fishing for several months, a lot of experience, in the past he liked this way, often fishing, so interested, experience accumulation, is to write the "Fish Classic", become a generation of fish originators. The lake here, just because he often goes into the lake to fish, the people of later generations miss him, and the lake is renamed Fan Li Lake, which can be seen to admire him.
After living in seclusion for three months, the pursuers of the Yue Kingdom could not find them, as he expected. Three months later, after all, the paper could not contain the fire, so it was discovered by the Vietnamese soldiers and chased and killed.
Fan Li saw it from afar on the island, and hurriedly took Xi Shi to escape in a light boat.
The light boat sailed south from Wuli Lake into Taihu Lake and flooded into Taihu Lake. When sailing to the left of Sanshan Island, the Vietnamese ships chased closer, surrounded by groups, and surrounded Fan Li and Xishi by boat, and surrounded the heart. There are many Vietnamese ships, densely packed, Fan Li and Xi Shi want to break through by boat, but they can't break through.
Fan Li saw that there were ships in all directions, large and small, closing and surrounding, knowing that it was dangerous, his heart was suddenly anxious and anxious. In a hurry, when I raised my eyes, I suddenly saw that there was a gap between the two big ships in front of me, which had not yet completely relied on each other. Seeing that behind these two big ships, Lu will come out of an island, and in desperation, his heart is ruthless, thinking: This is the only way to do it. With the strength of the hand, the penny was propped up, and the water surface was a little harder, and the light boat rushed forward in an instant, and with a "whoosh" sound, it rushed into the center of the two big ships, and one rushed quickly, and it passed through steadily from the middle, impartially.
The light boat has come out of a group of boats to surround it, and as far as the eye can see, there is still one on the left and one on the right, and there are many boats on the lake, which are coming to this side.
Fan Li saw that Sanshan Island was in front of him, and he already had a plan in his heart, and said straight: After going to the island, Xi Shi and I hid in the jungle to avoid the hope of being pursued by the Vietnamese soldiers, which is farther than in the water. Therefore, he did not hesitate, took the hand of Xi Shi, abandoned the boat and landed on the shore, went to Sanshan Island, took Xi Shiyu's hand, and went straight to the dense forest on the island.
The Vietnamese soldiers were divided into two routes, and a group of Vietnamese soldiers drove the boats and surrounded the island in a circle, looking at each other and surrounding it. A group of Vietnamese soldiers went to the island and pursued behind Fan Li and Xishi, shouting and intimidating. This kind of two-way outflanking directly surrounded Sanshan Island, making it impossible to get through, completely blocking the path for the two of them to get out of the island, but they didn't let the two of them exercise their plans again, and they were able to get out calmly, and secretly and successfully eloped and escaped again.
At this time, the Vietnamese soldiers were in great pursuit behind the two. Fan Li, as a man, has practiced martial arts, running, fast and powerful, running for a long time, and does not feel how hard, and Xi Shi is a weak woman after all, she can't run far, and she is very tired.
Seeing this, Fan Li knew that the situation was dangerous, but in his heart, he couldn't bear to break up with Xi Shi after all, seeing that she was running very slowly, and there were signs of not being able to run, he was very anxious in his heart, just because he loved her deeply in his heart, and in order to take care of him, he also held her jade hand, deliberately slowed down, and ran with her.
The Vietnamese soldiers are all elite, everyone is brave and good at fighting, young and strong, Fan Li Xishi has not yet run into the dense forest, has been caught up, the regimental weapons are waved, and the two of them are surrounded in the heart.
The Vietnamese army has always been well-trained, can be called the division of tigers and wolves, these many days, chasing the two, if it is not for the Yue King Gou Jianqin's order, only allowed to capture the two alive, not allowed to hurt the two, so that the two are not damaged, I am afraid that the two will be captured early, why wait until today. And Fan Ligui is the general of the Yue country, a very popular minister, with a very high prestige in the Vietnamese army, no one knows about the Vietnamese army, no one knows, everyone respects, everyone admires, it is really a popular person in front of the king of Yue, a big favorite minister. The beauty of Xi Shi, the moon is shy of flowers, the fish and geese are sunk, the bright and beautiful, the Chu Chu is moving, the beauty is incomprehensible, the Yue soldiers see it, the bones are soft, and how can they be willing to step forward to do it, let alone harm the two at will, so they have repeatedly let the two escape, turn the danger into a disaster, and can hide and live in seclusion in Wu Yue to this day.
