Everyone really couldn't imagine that before the second master fainted, he entrusted his brother to come here to ask them this question.

Why is Peacock Village called Peacock Village? Is this a problem?

So, Liu Bolun subconsciously replied: "Why did the predecessors say this? Isn't the name of Peacock Village exactly the name of the second village master and the big village master?"

We have mentioned this matter before, the Peacock Village was originally founded by Xueling Bird Shaoyi Yeyu and the Chinese minister Cai Kongcha of the dynasty, but the lord of the big village has always seen the dragon and the end, and everyone has not seen his true face for so many years on the mountain, and not only them, even the paper kite that came earlier than them has not seen this legendary character.

In this regard, the explanation given to them by the two masters is that the owner of the big village is not good to meddle in the affairs of the rivers and lakes because of the busy affairs of the court, so he entrusted the peacock village of Shuijian Mountain to the second master to take care of it alone, and he only became a nominal owner of the village when he was idle.

This is exactly what they know, about the Peacock Village, but when Liu Bolun put out the doubts in his heart, the Yiyan clan smiled miserably, and then said to a few of them: "You only say, is the master of the big village really saving Zài? I can only say that maybe he once saved Zài, but he has been dead for many years." ”

"What?" Shisheng was shocked, Cai Kongcha was already dead, and he had been dead for many years? How could this be?

Yes, Shisheng once remembered that he had heard someone say that the Peacock Village is now rebuilt, and the original villagers who had never met before have returned, and this includes Cai Kongcha, the owner of the big village, why does this Yiyan clan say that this person has died a long time ago? What kind of secret is there?

The strange Yan clan saw that everyone's faces were full of incredulity. So he turned out a scroll from the bamboo basket behind him, and after opening it, he revealed a painting of ink and blue. This is a picture of mountains and rivers and birds, in the wooden house, there is an Oiran lady who is proficient in the way of calligraphy and painting, although she does not know who the people are talking about, but see the style of painting is majestic and powerful, a few brushstrokes will outline a magnificent and magnificent picture, which can be seen. The person who made this painting is indeed a master of this way.

There is a poem on the painting, which reads: The leaves of the autumn blade are scattered, and the cold mountains are bleak in the distance. A mountain of red maple and a river of dust, the solitary son and the bird can't fly.

But it stands to reason that Lang Qingshuang knows that there are all famous literati and ink writers in this world, but the author of this wonderful pen Danqing. She was unheard of. The inscription of this painting is 'Prisoner of the Morning and Night'.

And this prisoner in the window, is it Cai Kongcha?

I saw Yi Yan gently stroking the painting, and then said lightly: "In order to boost everyone's morale, the 'big boss' who came back this time was actually disguised by me, and the real Cai Kongcha had already died seventeen years ago." ”

Seventeen years ago, that is to say, the big boss of this peacock village. actually passed away before the Peacock Village was established, but if this thing is true. Why did the two masters tell them such innocuous lies?

Perhaps, the second master also has a bitterness in his heart, perhaps, this is his insistence.

Turning forward for 20 years, everyone in the Southern Dynasty knows Cai Kongcha.

Because he is a proud son of the sky, the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all fine and endless, the young man made his career into the court as an official, and he is an official with two sleeves, and he is a strange person who can make a decision to the king and hand over the market.

There are many other capable people in the court, but no matter who these people are, as long as they are lucky enough to see Cai Kongcha's Mobao Danqing, they all applaud, even the emperor at that time admired him very much, at that time there was a saying in the literary world that 'Cai Kongcha in the south and different in the north', that is, there was Cai Kongcha in the south and different night rain in the north, which was the greatest affirmation of the literati at that time.

It can be said that he is a very legendary person, it stands to reason that there is such a talented person in the world, even if he dies, his ink treasure Danqing will be passed down in the world, but the strange is strange, although this Cai Kongcha calligraphy and painting are unique, but he is low-key tight, although he loves to pour ink and poetry, but the volume he made does not leave the day.

That is to say, the calligraphy and painting written in the morning will be burned at night, never left overnight, even if someone wants to spend a lot of money to ask for words, he has refused one by one, only is: although the calligraphy and painting are elegant, they can entertain the day and night, but they are also mistaken.

He writes poems and paintings, just to express his momentary feelings, but he doesn't want to pass these works to future generations, because he knows the nature of the world, the rarer things will be, the more officials and nobles will compete for them, you rob me and waste a lot of time, if these time are reserved for life struggle for the benefit of the public, wouldn't it be more meaningful?

It can be seen that this Cai Kongcha is not only a master of calligraphy and painting, but also a virtuous and wise person, and it is not difficult to see that his ambition is much more noble than those literati who only have fame and fortune in their hearts.

And because of this, Cai Kongcha has always been only famous in the local area, and this name has not spread all over the world, that year, is catching up with the night rain to go to the capital of the country, in the Qinglou drunk, someone recognized this strange talent so he stepped forward to toast, when talking, the person accidentally talked about the talent Cai Kongcha here, and heard that there is such a low-key literati here, but also aroused the interest of the night rain, so the next day he disguised himself to visit.

At that time, the playful night rain disguised himself as a flower beggar, and went to knock on the door and bluntly asked for a thousand taels of gold, at that time, the family Ding also said that this was a madman who was blinded by lard, so he stepped forward to push him, but he didn't expect that the night rain was noisy in front of the door, and let everyone push but did not move, and even opened his mouth to chant two lines of poetry, only to say that if he couldn't come out, he would give him a thousand amounts of gold.

Yi Yeyu knows his own literary style very well, but he is not conceited, his two poems, there are really few people in this world who can come out, and those family members see that this person is really messing around, but they are not afraid of beating with sticks, so after a stalemate between the two sides, they also led out Cai Kongcha. Yiye Yu saw that Cai Kongcha had a thin physique, first he was born in a rich and noble family, and he didn't expect him to give himself a good face, but he really didn't expect that Cai Kongcha at that time did not show disgust because of the dirty raincoat in the night, but treated each other politely and was neither humble nor arrogant.

It's so rare to know that you can do that, at that time. The rich and noble have only two faces in the face of the poor and dirty, one is spittle, and the other is pity. This kind of mercy can be applied to people as well as to cats and dogs. But at that time, Cai Kongcha felt different to the second master, and his attitude towards himself was completely like treating a person with the same status.

Later, the second master learned that no matter who this Cai Kongcha was, he had such an attitude, because he felt. All men in this world are equal.

At the time, this was a very rare theory. Ye Yu and Cai Kongcha also became attached to each other, and later after revealing their identities, they became confidants of each other.

And what Cai Kongcha admires about Yiye Yu is not only that he can match his own poems. Nor because of who he is. It was the lofty ambition in his chest, which even the night rain sighed at for himself.

It is said that the two cherish each other and have similar interests, so the night rain stayed there for half a year, and in this half year, the two discussed calligraphy, painting and the way of life during the day, and did not avoid suspicion after nightfall. Sleeping in the same room against falling asleep, speaking up. I'm afraid he's the only man who can make Yi Yeyu sleep in a room in his life.

On this day, the night rain finished some trivial things, and wanted to come to find this Cai Kongcha to go to the Qinglou to drink flower wine, but just came to his study, he saw Cai Kongcha was painting at the desk, and the night rain did not want to disturb him, so he watched quietly on the side, he saw that this Cai Kongcha painting is an endless group of mountains, the river water surrounds the mountains, the mountains are dotted with red maples, and the artistic conception of the autumn wind is actually mixed with a peacock with wings soaring. You must know that since ancient times, peacocks have been called festive birds, but where there are peacock pictures, they are either flowers or green branches, but why did Cai Handong paint this autumn peacock?

When Yi Yeyu was still puzzled, Cai Kongcha completed the picture, only to see him turn around and smile lightly at Yi Yeyu, and said, "You came just in time, how about helping me appreciate it?"

Yi Yeyu nodded, because he had already seen it again, so he just stepped forward and glanced at it at this time, and then asked the doubts in his heart, only to see him say: "Your painting, regardless of the artistic conception of the landscape, is the pinnacle of attainment, even I sigh to myself, but it's just ...... This peacock is a little abrupt in the air, old Kong, do you have something on your mind today?"

Cai Kongcha looked at the second master at that time, smiled bitterly for a long time, and then said: "I can't hide anything from you." ”

"It's easy to hide from me, but you can't hide it from yourself, it's all written on your face. I saw the second master say: "Say, is it a matter of the court?"

Cai Kongcha sighed at that time, and then said in a slightly sad tone: "Yiye Yu, you say, we are all mortals, right..................?"

It turned out that Cai Kongcha suffered a big blow in today's court, and now we already know that he is a person, his heart is extraordinary, not for fame and fortune, just to let more people live a happy life, but the Qing official meets the lord of mediocrity, and the bad luck is destined to be bumpy in numerology.

In order to protect the community, the king first chose to send troops to exterminate the foreign people, and a lot of silver was spent on military supplies, for several months, the foreign nomads were defeated on all fronts, and now the troops should have been withdrawn and returned to the court, but the foreign army wanted to make more military achievements, so he lied about the military situation and did not return, Cai Kongcha got the news, because he was worried about the victims in the south, so he asked the emperor to withdraw the army, and draw food and pay to relieve the victims.

However, the matter of sending troops to crusade against foreign countries has already involved the interests of all parties, so when the courtiers immediately refuted it, and the emperor was a man of great joy, how could he no longer 'take advantage of the victory to pursue' now that the border has won a battle? Moreover, the flooding in the south is not a matter of one or two years, so why not delay the allocation of silver?

In terms of the balance of interests, human life is like mustard more than money, anyway, they are ordinary people who can only open their mouths to eat, what is the difference between dying 10,000 and dying 8,000? And Cai Kongcha is sad because of this.

And after listening to Cai Kongcha's speech, the second master also sighed lightly, he knew that this Cai Kongcha was very good anywhere, but he had some tendons in his brain, unlike him, as a recorder of a different family, no matter when and where, he could keep himself out of the matter.

So, he enlightened Cai Kongcha and said: "Don't think about it, hasn't the king's policy been like this for thousands of years? You live so tired every day, thinking about others, but have you ever thought about yourself?"

His words brought up Cai Kongcha's interest, and I saw Cai Kongcha say to him at the time: "I thought that if I resigned one day, I would find a paradise of 'beautiful mountains and rivers', gather some good friends to live together, and at the same time, I can take in those who are homeless and have suffered a lot of hardships in the world." Build a home for them, and everyone will be brothers, plowing day and singing night and singing. Wouldn't it be a very happy day like this?"

"Is this someone else?" I saw the second master laugh and said: "You, you, you are a life that is born to suffer and suffer, but your wish is quite simple, okay, then it is decided, when you have that day, count me first." ”

Cai Kongcha smiled indifferently after hearing this. Then he sighed softly, "Well, I must count you in." ”

And after that, Cai Kongcha also muttered softly. At that time, the night rain did not hear clearly, and later when he recalled it again, he vaguely felt that Cai Kongcha's later words were: "If I can have that day." ”

After that day, two more days passed. Yi Yeyu got a message from his brother Yi Yan in another country. It is said that Du Guo and Lin Ruoruo, who practiced somewhere in the early days, have become a little missful of him, so the night rain said goodbye to Cai Kongcha, but who knows, he said goodbye for three months, and when he returned to this place, he got the news that Cai Kongcha was killed before Wang Jia.

It turned out that three days after the night rain left, the waterlogging in the south became more and more severe. Cai Kongcha repeatedly failed to admonish him, but was framed for being bribed by local officials in the disaster area. Before the king, Cai Kongcha was humiliated but couldn't argue, and finally became disheartened, and actually hit his head on the golden pillar of the main hall to die.

After hearing the bad news of his friend, the night rain was stunned, sitting in the room without eating or drinking, because although he had many friends, he only had one confidant in this world, and now the only bosom friend is gone, how can he let go?

After a day like this, when the night came, suddenly there was a rapid knock on the door outside the guest room, this sound is on behalf of the funeral, and the night rain pushed open the door, and found that the person who came turned out to be the old housekeeper of Cai Kongcha, when the housekeeper saw the old tears after the night rain, and immediately reported to him Cai Kongcha's funeral, although he had heard about it for a long time, but at this time he saw the old man's family, and the night rain was still sour in his heart.

And what made him most sad and unexpected was that he learned from the housekeeper that this Cai Kongcha had already had the intention of dying.

Maybe the way of heaven really can't tolerate perfect people, get some you have to give up others, although this Cai Kongcha has great thoughts and incomparable talent, but God has given him a body destined for a short life, he has a strange disease, this strange disease is called 'stiff evil poison', when the onset of the body is soft and rotten like mud and keeps calling, gradually the blood and qi are blocked, with a long time, this strange disease will become more and more serious, and in the end there are rotten sores under the body due to inactive blood, and even eating and drinking can not be done. If there is no one to watch, even the fingers can only be watched by rats, and the terrible thing is that the disease is hereditary, and when he was born, the name of the family invited him to assert that he was destined not to live to be thirty years old.

This year, it is precisely the twenty-ninth year of Cai Kong Cha.

"Why didn't he ever tell me about this?!" At that time, Yi Yeyu was sad in his heart, and for a while, he finally understood why Cai Kongcha was so diligent on weekdays, and why he burned his paintings one by one, because no one knew the preciousness of time better than him, and he wanted to do something that could make him feel worthwhile in the limited time.

The second master understood Yiqiē, but it was too late, because his friend had passed away and he could never come back.

And at that moment, I saw that the housekeeper wiped his tears and took something from his back and handed it to Yiye Yu, it turned out that this was a relic of Cai Kongcha, and before Cai Kongcha went to court that day, he had entrusted this housekeeper to leave this thing to his best friend.

The night rain opened it and found that it was the same picture scroll he had seen that day. I saw the old housekeeper say to Yi Yeyu: "Yi Ye, my master has no friends in this life, but I can see that you should be my master's best confidant, because ...... Because I have never seen him smile so happily in front of people, you please accept it, and don't forget my master in the future. ”

Cai Kongcha really regarded Yiye Yu as a confidant, and in order to leave a memorial for his friends, he made an exception for the first and last time and did not burn the painting that day.

The second master looked at the picture scroll in a daze, unlike before, there was an extra poem on this painting, and the name was signed

For the 'prisoner of the morning and night'.

Prisoner of the morning and evening, when he saw these four words, Yiye Yu suddenly realized, it turned out that this was the case, it turned out that on that day, he had already expected that there would be today.

And the peacock, the night rain finally understood the meaning.

After sending off the old butler, the night rain also went out, before sunrise, found the grave of his good friend outside the city, he put two cups in front of the grave, persuaded the wine in the air, gradually the red sun rose, the light rising from the east sprinkled on the picture, the night rain sighed, and then got up and said to the grave: "Brother, you will not die, because you still have a dream unfinished, your original ideal may not be able to help you realize, but your last ideal ...... I'll do it with you. ”

Half a year later, he summoned all kinds of talented people who had made friends when he traveled to the rivers and lakes before, and found a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to stand with the flag, and created an unprecedented neutral force in the rivers and lakes, this force is called 'Peacock Village', and the founders of Peacock Village are two, the big boss Cai Kongcha and the two masters of the night rain.

Friends did not achieve the wish, the second master to complete for him, so far, there is one more 'home' on the rivers and lakes, no matter who you are, whether you are rich or poor, as long as you have a good mind, as long as you are tired of the wind and frost and night rain in the rivers and lakes, then this home will be open to you at any time.

This is the origin of the Peacock Village, and it is also a promise made by an unobtrusive man to his old friend, Cai Kongcha is not dead, he is still alive in the Peacock Village, so whenever someone asks why the big boss doesn't come to check in the village, the second master always smiles, and then says: "He just went to the court." ”

It turns out that Peacock Village still has such an unknown secret, after listening to the words of Yi Yan, everyone in the house was moved by the life and death of these two people, and the world now finally understands why the second master, who is the recorder, will actually set up such a force in the rivers and lakes.

It turned out that he was trying to fulfill the wish of his dead friend. It turns out that the big boss is the second boss.

Thinking of this, everyone's hearts were moved, and when the Yiyan clan talked about this, he opened his mouth again: "Although the peacock is a mortal bird, not like the phoenix is sacred, but it is closer to the world, do you understand the meaning of 'Peacock Village' now?"

Shi Sheng nodded thoughtfully, he finally understood why the second master had asked them this question before he fell unconscious.

Yes, we are all mortals, all in this mortal world, although we have strength, but we also face many difficulties, just like the peacock in the painting, the peacock in autumn, although it is difficult to leap over the mountain, but it is going forward.

We are not gods, we are the peacocks, we can't give everyone god-like sustenance, but we can give people a touch of real beauty, although the cold wind is strong, but we must also spread our wings in the wind, and we can't stop, because time waits for no one.

Even if you fold the feathers, you must complete your own value, this is our home, this is the spirit of Peacock Village.

"The people in Peacock Village are really some fools. I saw Liu Bolun smile bitterly, then lowered his head, clenched his fists and said nothing, they finally understood the hard work of the second master, the second master wanted to tell them with this, don't give up because of the cold wind, because they are the children of Peacock Village, and they are the continuation of Peacock Village.

Seeing that the three of them understood what their brother meant, the Yi Yan clan said: "Okay, since you all understand, then I will talk about the next thing, this matter is related to that Qiao Zimu, you have to listen carefully." (To be continued......)
