XLVI Broken Bridge
The spring climate is changeable, and after a few days of bright sunshine, there are several days of continuous spring rain. The silver rain is falling, the wind is dancing lightly, and the eaves are ticking, like crying and complaining. Good rain knows the season, when spring happens, this is a good rain, bringing the earth longed for a long time of rain, this is a good year, the hope of drought year after year, and finally the hope of a good harvest.
The courtyard is extremely clean everywhere, the stone on the steps is bright and can be seen, the corners of the wall are thick and green, and the branches and leaves are verdant. The spring rain, the spring rain, as if it has returned all the dust to the earth, the rain, the rain, as if washing away all the filth in the world. The sound of the wind and rain, the sound of reading, the sound of family, the country, the world, everything is concerned. In such weather, passers-by no longer travel far, and wanderers take a break for a while, or work steadily, or study with peace of mind.
Daoist Fang is in the mountains.
It's raining and I'm going to run out, it's all crazy! Lu Changlian pushed open the window and looked at the sky quietly, feeling something in his heart for a while. The drizzle was blowing and drifting in the sky, like a needle without a head, like a thread without a tail, and he was so confused about his thoughts -- what should he do? What should he do? What else can he do when the matter has come to this? Why is this so? Why is it so? After many years of master-apprentice games and ideological struggles, Lu Daochang has been exhausted and has reached the point of discouragement.
Rotten wood cannot be carved, walls of dung cannot be encircled, and the supreme heavenly dignity -- perhaps he was wrong before, and he should not be allowed to mess around! A natural wild monkey must be taught in a cage, and if you put him in the mountains, the hair in his heart will grow to his body in a short time, and he will no longer be able to listen to half a sentence of human speech! How can you see it? Oil and salt do not enter, water and fire do not invade, and he is beaten as a common meal, and he is scolded for being a casual meal, and he is scolded for being angry at you. Xi Wen and Xi Wu? I am happy to give you two strokes, three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, what kind of growth can you make? I can't control it, I really can't manage it, Daoist Lu's patience slowly wore out, and he gradually lost confidence in the little Taoist priest surnamed Fang-
Of course, Daochang Lu did not want to take on the responsibility of teaching the unreasonable, so he thought carefully about it at the moment and summed up four reasons, so that when others were questioned about this matter, they could be used as an explanation:
First, let's talk about it. He is not obedient, he does not listen, he can't be killed in front of him!
Second, go up. If he doesn't study, he doesn't speak, so is it possible for the master to kneel down and beg him?
Third, move forward. There is more than one apprentice, and it is clear at a glance how the others are doing.
Fourth, let's talk about it later. There is only one master, and he still wants to live a few more years, so he is angry in vain.
The wind is getting stronger, blowing the cool rain into the lecture hall obliquely, and quietly blowing the sorrow out of the window. Lu Daochang gently closed the window, and suddenly separated the rain, the wind, and the person from the outside world. The outside world is very exciting, and the outside world is also very helpless, let him go, everyone will go their own way! That is the case, but there is still a trace of inexplicable concern in my heart? It is raining outside, the mountain is steep and the road is slippery, and that kid is alone outside, will there be danger? Where is he, now? What is he doing? Lu Daochang couldn't help but secretly worry, Lu Daochang has always been restless.
Say a thousand, say ten thousand, the apprentice is still the apprentice, the master is the master.
It rained all the time.
Don't worry about that, Daoist Fang will take care of himself.
Now the Taoist priest below is under a big tree, jumping and playing happily.
Daoist Fang, a person who can play a lot of tricks, this is a new trick, the game is-
Tortoise and hare race.
"Once upon a time there was a big tree, and it was this big tree, and it had a lot of leaves, and it was not afraid of wind and rain. There lived a tortoise and a rabbit at the bottom, who were good friends, and they both said that they were fast runners, and neither of them was convinced, and then they made an appointment to compare and match. On this day, the great hero Fang Yin happened to pass by here, and the two of them asked him to be the master, what a comparison! Who is running fast? Hmph, this is a secret, I won't tell you first, and I watched with wide eyesββ"
Here we go!
Preparation -
The game started immediately, Boss Fang acted as the referee, the enthusiastic audience pretended to be a commentator, and the starling bird volunteered to be a guest! Wait! Where did the starling come from? What are you waiting for? Isn't it the starling? If you come, you are coming, and you don't need to explain more. Next, in the midst of cheerful slaps and enthusiastic shouts and whistles, athletes from both sides appeared one after another!
Dangdangdang -
The first to enter the venue was the famous one that everyone in the world knows, the black turtleβββββββββββββ
A turtle, slowly and slowly, climbs to the front of the starting line.
This is a gray mountain turtle, the size of a bowl, it looks like a stone, and I don't know how to invite Boss Fang to participate in the competition. This turtle is lying on that side, with a calm bearing, as steady as Mount Tai, and it really lives up to its name, and the demeanor of the general is completely the demeanor of the general!
Dangdangdang -
Next up is the famous one that everyone knows, the rabbit!
A snail descends from the sky and lands steadily next to the turtle.
Isn't it a rabbit? This, this, this is too foolish! Don't make a fuss, don't make a fuss! Don't make a fuss, everyone in the audience, today is very unfortunate, the rabbit came too quickly, accidentally hit a tree in the middle of the road, and then disappeared! Therefore, the organizers decided to temporarily switch to a snail for the competition, and it was a snail. Don't underestimate it, this snail is very strong, and it is completely comparable to that of a turtle!
The little snail lay there quietly, his bearing was more condensed, and his face did not change when Taishan collapsed in front of him. The demeanor of a general? This is the demeanor of a general! Half a pound and eight taels, the strength is equal, and both sides are not in a hurry or irritation, and they seem to be sure of victory.
At least that's how it seems.
Begin!
The referee stabbed twice with a small stick, saying that it was too late and that it was too fast, only to see the turtle running out as fast as he could, and stealing the bell with lightning speed, "Hey, snail, snail, what are you waiting for?" The race has begun, run, run, run, run! The turtle is about to run to the finish line, why don't you run? Run, you are, well, you don't have to run if you don't use it, the turtle has already crossed the finish line.
The snail was motionless from head to tail.
There is no opponent's game, there is no excitement at all, and the audience commentators are disappointed, and they have left the venue to refund their tickets. The starling guests have not yet been enough, and they suddenly said something amazing: Silly bird! The organizer and referee are also very dissatisfied, how can this be done? The thunder is loud, the rain is small, it is not fun at all, and it is not fun at all! Come again, come again, one to zero does not count, two wins in three games! Boss Fang thought about it, ran to the puddle to bring the rainwater, and poured it on his head!
The little snail was irritated, and slowly stretched out its tentacles, twisting and twisting and crawling forward.
Daoist Fang was overjoyed, hurriedly retrieved the mountain turtle that was trying to run away, and placed it next to the snail.
In terms of speed and slowness, they are all comparative.
The rabbit was replaced by a snail, and the balance of victory and defeat had already fallen to the tortoise, and there was still no suspense in the second competition, two to zero.
The disparity in strength of the game, there is also no excitement at all, one person and one bird are very disappointed, the starling shook his feathers, stood on the branch and shouted again--stupid bird! No, still not, Fang Lao Lian shook his head repeatedly, this is unfair! Look at how old the king's eight heads are? How long are the four legs? Isn't this bullying? It's not fair, come again, win three times in five games! You have to think of a good way, how can you make the snail run faster?
It's impossible for a snail to run any faster, there's nothing to do, but there's a way to make the turtle run slower. At another time, the two fought three times, and Daoist Fang found a big piece of mud and pasted it on the hard shell of the mountain turtle. The mountain turtle suddenly carried a heavy load, but it still stubbornly struggled to crawl forward, far faster than its opponent! No, add another piece! The mountain turtle slowed down and climbed slowly. The mountain turtle's limbs were like lead, and it could no longer support it, so it had to lie on the ground helplessly, bending its neck and not moving.
The snail marches on the road as always, not happy with things, not sad with itself.
Well, this tortoise and hare race is finally coming to an end, even if the replacement is a snail that can't be slower, since the tortoise can't run due to human factors, then the final winner will definitely not be it. The story of a thousand years, the truth of a thousand years, the relatively weak side, will always make people sympathize. After a long time, the snail, the snail that walked slowly and leisurely, as if it had traveled from a thousand years ago, finally carried the hope of victory, and was about to cross the finish line......
The world is impermanent, people are not as good as the sky, changes occur in the blink of an eye, and the doomed ending is rewritten again. The guest starling bird couldn't hold it back, flew over like lightning, swallowed the snail that was so slow to death in one gulp, and then nodded with satisfaction, and made a final comment on today's events-
Silly birds!
One side died suddenly, the champion was already produced, and the winner was still the turtle. The mountain turtle lay there quietly, not taking it seriously, and only regarded the mud on its body as a monument. But he left the stunned idler aside. Boss Fang came back to his senses, and when he got angry, he pointed his fingers and scolded: "Dead starling, you stupid bird!"
- Silly Bird! Silly Bird! Silly Bird!
Daoist Fang let out a long breath, and suddenly changed to a smiling face: "Eighth brother, call the boss." β
- Boss! Boss!
Eighth Brother?
Eighth brother. Top dog.
It turns out that a man and a bird have already turned enemies into friends, and even become brothers in private, no wonder he is here, and he is also here. There is no hatred in the world that cannot be dissolved, let alone the so-called hatred, stupid bird? Who is the stupid bird? You call him stupid bird, he also calls you stupid bird, you are his brother, he also recognizes you brother, you give him a smile, he smiles back to you, how good is that? Wouldn't it be better? Starling, starling, do you know what you are talking about?
Suddenly it rained.
The bright light of the sky pierced through the fog, and the gray haze of the sky dissipated into nothingness. The red is the head, the light shines on the earth, and the scenery after the rain is particularly beautiful. A long rainbow bridge is erected between heaven and earth, and the water vapor is faint and colorful. Rainbow rainbow, one end is here, one end leads there, why don't the naughty children return? Where is the hope of flying? Hongqiao Hongqiao, the bridge head is in your heart, the bridge tail is in my heart, how wide the outside world is, and the wonder of life blooms like a flower!
There is a need for constant communication between people, and a bridge is also needed between hearts. It is a bridge of the heart, colorless and lightless, but it carries a lot of affection and a lot of expectations. That heart bridge is the link that Lu Daochang has worked hard to achieve, but he can't get. People are not plants and trees, how can they be ruthless? Daoist Fang is not completely unaware, but Boss Fang does not fully know. Hongqiao runs through the world for a long time, who is blocking the bridge of the heart? Is it the urgency in the eyes, or the improper means? Is it the natural surname of freedom, or the confusion of growth?
The wind and rain sometimes end, the rainbow disperses, and it will still hang in the sky.
How long the years are, the heart is broken, I don't know when I can connect it?
If one bridge is not connected, if it is difficult for two hearts to get together, then no one can get the share they want from the other party, glory.
Child, child, do you know that beating you and scolding you is just to let you go on the road you should take, that is the only way to the other side; child, child, do you know that you have a cold face, just so that no one will look at you coldly in the future, no smile, only for all the people in the future to smile at you; child, child, do you know that only after being strict can you be relaxed, and only after bondage can you be free, and the road to growth is not a flat river, just like this beautiful rainbow in the sky, it is a brilliant glory after wind and rain!
Who is looking at the ends of the rainbow? Who is making up for the broken bridge?
