"My lord, I have been a lacquer gardener for ten years. I have been conscientious and diligent in the past ten years. I hope the country will allow me to take on greater responsibilities..."
"Zhuang Zhou, your country is hard to know, has been prepared to train motivated young people like you, you are still a long way to be harder for the country to work ......, drink, drink ......"
bid farewell States The officials sent to inspect, I sat down by the river and watched the fish.
"Swim and swim freely in the water. How happy these fish are."
Hui Shi likes to carry them with me: "You are not a fish, how do you know that they are happy?"
"You are not me, how do you know that I don't know?" "
I'm not you, I don't know you, you're not a fish, I don't know a fish, that's for sure..."
"Shut up"
Every day when sunrise and sunset are the most beautiful, I like to lie in the river when I am happy or unhappy. Look at the scenery on the side of the hillside. I always look to the south. Every spring, officials who patrol the country come from there. Ten years ago, Qiushui also went there. Time flies so fast.
Staying until I was hungry, Hui Shi and I separated and walked home. From a distance, I saw my wife standing at the door waiting for me. Today, there are two more people around her, it should be Meng Ke and Yang Zhu. I just remembered to make an appointment to invite them to my house for dinner, so I quickened my pace. There was another one standing on the other side. It must be the pesky Wu Qi. A few days ago he approached the door and wanted to worship me as a teacher. I couldn't help frowning.
Sure enough, as soon as I approached, Wu Qi leaned forward: "Master Zhuang..." He still held the tattered short sword firmly. I pretended not to see him, and continued to walk into the house. Wu Qi didn't know what to say, and stood there blankly. Meng Ke and Yang Zhu had apparently heard Chun Shui talk about Wu Qi, and talked to him casually behind me.
"People should have a heart of love, don't think about revenge and hatred every day..." I shook my head. Meng Ke has been in school for too long, and I don't know what society is like.
"There should be? There are more things that should be, how many people can really do it? Those beast soldiers killed my family and insulted my mother and sister, where is there any kindness, I hate them, I hate the people of the world..." Wu Qi The immature and vicious voice made me very uncomfortable.
Meng Ke stopped talking. Yang Zhu yin and yang continued strangely: "If you want revenge, you don't have to be all-rounder in civil and martial arts. You have to be a good man. If you have money, you can punish ghosts, let alone murder. I can teach you how to make a lot of money, but my tuition is. Very expensive, do you have money? Do you have rich relatives? Do you have ancestral treasures? Haha..."
Wu Qi didn't answer, I turned around and greeted the two friends, "Hurry up and eat." The child stared at Yang Zhu resentfully, but Yang Zhu continued to beat haha nonchalantly.
Even I am wondering how to be friends with such two weird people.
When Meng Ke was three years old, his father died, and he and his mother depended on each other. Meng Ke is very smart, his home is very close to the cemetery, so he learned to sacrifice. Meng Ke's mother wanted her son to be promising, so she moved her family to the street. The neighbor is a butcher, and Meng Ke has learned to butcher again. So the mother moved to the school palace again. On the first day of each month in the Xia calendar, officials bowed down at the Confucian Temple, and let them advance and retreat. Meng Ke saw them and remembered them one by one.
Meng Ke's mother was very happy to see it, and settled down next to the school palace. She supervised Meng Ke's study very strictly, and after a little slack, she cut off the cloth she was weaving, reminding her son not to give up halfway. Sure enough, Meng Ke did not live up to his mother's diligence, and has always achieved excellent academic performance. When parent meetings were held, the head teacher always asked Meng Ke's mother to introduce advanced experience. The old man worked his whole life, and finally saw his son's college diploma in the hospital bed, smiled, and passed away with satisfaction.
Meng Ke was very sad, buried his mother, wandering around with a lot of books on his back. One day Chunshui accidentally slipped and fell into the river when he was washing, and Meng Ke happened to pass by. Although he could not swim, he bravely jumped into the water and rescued Chunshui. Later, I entrusted the relationship to help him find a job as a teaching assistant at the university of Kuodu, and also worked as a librarian. This position is simply designed for him. Meng Ke often visits my house outside of work, and I treat him like a younger brother. Chun Shui always prepares hearty meals to entertain him, and sometimes helps him with laundry and sewing.
Chun Shui disliked Yang Zhu very much in his heart, but it was because of my face that I never showed it. In fact, no one I know likes him. Yang Zhu did a big business in Wei State and tried every means to accumulate money. His buddies and customers were all exploited. Yang Zhu also loaned usury, and many people went bankrupt as a result. Yang Zhu didn't care about his notoriety, and he didn't have any conscience. He has a famous saying: "Take a dime to benefit the world, not for it."
I have known Yang Zhu for a long time, and we are playmates since childhood. I remember that when Yang Zhu was in elementary school on the first day, he confronted the Chinese teacher. The teacher said: Read one, the students all follow, only Yang Zhu said nothing. The teacher even coaxed and frightened, and invited the parents, finally Yang Zhu was willing to read one. The teacher was very happy: "Now read second with me". Yang Zhu threw the book on the ground, "I knew that once I read it, I would read two, there are still three, four, five, six, seven, and I still have to do homework and go to college, so I won't study one." In the end, he went to a PhD in Finance and Economics.
Yang Zhu also often watched the scenery with me. He doesn't talk as much as Hui Shi. Once we went to climb a mountain and encountered many forks in the middle of the mountain. He stood there for a long time at the fork, but he suddenly came out of sadness, tears like rain. I said, just take any one, but Yang Zhu turned around and walked back along the path.
At the dinner table, Meng Ke said that a professor named Zou Yan came to the school to teach Yin and Yang. Zou Yan is proficient in all kinds of fortune-telling methods: from tortoise shell, feng shui to palmistry, zodiac signs, etc., he not only tells fortunes for others, but also asks God’s will for all the choices in his life and work. Meng Ke expressed his disapproval or disapproval of this, because he had learned when he was studying: "Weird power is chaotic, what the son doesn't say, except Liuhe, save it and don't care". The sages also said that they might participate in religious activities, "sacrifice (ancestors) such as ( The ancestors are present, and offering sacrifices to the gods is like a god."
Yang Zhu suddenly sneered: "It really is a sage, it's really sleek, just pretend... I don’t know if Professor Zou has counted when he developed, no longer need to teach, and he is too poor. He should count himself when Hiccups, pre-issue obituaries, and accepting the white bag are also considered dead. Haha..." Meng Ke flushed. He was often dumb by Yang Zhu's harsh opinions, but he never gave up in his heart.
Satiated with wine and food, I sent the two to the door and saw Wu Qi standing there lonely. Chun Shui pulled the corner of my clothes and said softly, "This kid is pitiful, you can help him as much as possible." I thought about it, and walked forward, "I won't teach you, you will die. Heart. But I can help you find a job as a butcher. This is very far from your ideals, but you can eat a lot of food. If you want to be an official, if you want revenge, you must at least survive. You come over tomorrow morning and I will bring You go to see Fouding." Meng Ke heard it and said with interest: "I want to see Fouding tomorrow, too."
Fouding is a kind, fat man, just like the butcher that people usually imagine. He welcomed us into the slaughterhouse with enthusiasm. There was a smell of blood everywhere, but without the murderousness of the battlefield, it was reminiscent of the intoxication of a banquet. I explained what I was coming for, and Bling Ding readily agreed. "We are short of manpower. Young people nowadays are not willing to do this dirty and tiring work, and they all dream of accomplishing a big cause."
Wu Qi reluctantly put on a butcher's apron, but Buding didn't care about his negligence and passionately Introducing work. Someone dragged a cow, and Bliding reached out and touched his special butcher knife, and he immediately looked like a different person. The movement of the knife is as graceful as dancing, and the sound is as beautiful as music. I have admired Bluding’s brilliant butchering skills many times, and looked at him with a smile. It is said that ordinary butchers have to sharpen a knife a month, but Bling’s knife has been used for 19 years, but it is still like a new one. Neither Meng Ke nor Wu Qi could hide their surprise.
Finally, Fouding put away the knife, and the whole cow fell on the ground with a splash. Fouding raised her head and looked far away, with a satisfied look. After being intoxicated for a while, Bliding lowered his head, wiped the butcher knife and put it away, and turned back to that kind fat man. Wu Qi finally put away his damn angry expression, thoughtfully.
When I saw Wu Qi holding his sword tightly, I knew he wouldn't be here for a long time. When I was so young, I also dreamed of being a great swordsman. I spent nights and nights practicing swordsmanship, and one day I finally felt that I had something to do, and I went to worship a famous master as a teacher.
I tried hard to express myself, but the master said: "You are very talented, but unfortunately you don't look like a swordsman. A swordsman should be eight feet tall, with sharp edges and corners, with a cold expression and a sound like thunder. Wearing white clothes like snow, with a sword in hand, With a jade flute, standing on the top of the mountain against the wind, looking up at the sky, no one says anything, standing still in the rain and snow, that's a swordsman. You are short and fat, with a full face, and a quiet voice. Go home and kill the pigs."
I hurriedly said: I will buy white clothes right away and strangle my belly vigorously; I am short, but I can stand taller and stand on tiptoe. Listen, I can use leaves to play nice minor tunes, and I can hold my throat to speak every day. You see, although there is a lot of meat on my neck, it can still be flat. The master said: Cut, and closed the door. I stood outside the door thinking for a long time, maybe he was right, I decided to be a great butcher.
Suddenly the sound of chopping meat sounded in my ears. I was surprised to find that it was Meng Ke. He rolled up his long sleeves, brandished a heavy machete vigorously, and in a moment he chopped a large steak into many small pieces, and put down the knife, also looking satisfied.
Bing Ding approached, looked at the meat carefully, and praised: "Awesome, awesome, all of the same size, neatly broken..."
Meng Ke said embarrassedly: "I learned it from my neighbor when I was a kid."
"Unfortunately, Ms. Meng didn't have it. Being a butcher...hehe, I'm talking stupid, but I still have a good sense of reading, which is the right way."
Meng Ke stopped talking, and thought about it.
Another leisurely afternoon, I was looking at the scenery on the hillside. The kid next door ran up and said, "Uncle Zhuang, it's okay, my aunt suddenly fell ill." I was taken aback, got up and ran home. Suddenly, I remembered an ominous rumor that the woman from the Chunshui family had a genetic weird disease and would not live to be thirty years old. Chun Shui was exactly twenty when she married me, and I almost forgot that we had been married for ten years.
I haven't started cooking for a long time, because Chunshui has always cooked for me. In fact, when I was young, I still liked to cook. I tried hard to think about it and made my best garlic stir-fried pork. I tasted it and found it to be fine. I helped Chun Shui up and fed her to her, and Chun Shui gradually became more energetic.
"Your cooking is still delicious."
"Have you ever tried my cooking?"
"You forgot, the first time I went to your house to play, you made me stir-fried pork with garlic moss. I like it very much. It's a pity that you won't cook anymore after you get married."
I remembered a vague look. It was indeed my past, but it was like remembering another person. Unknowingly, I changed a lot. "Oh, I am busy with work after graduation..."
"Well, remember that you once said that you have to work hard. One day, you will become popular and worship the general..."
I continued, "...in the large carriage with patterns inlaid to travel the world, and let my wife wear gold and silver..." I shook my head sadly. After ten years, I am still a small painter. I know that I will probably never hope for promotion.
"At that time I secretly think, must marry you. I can not wear gold and silver think I grew up is a normal girl, but I like your kind of state, and the other boys are not the same."
Is not the same ? In fact, everyone has gone through this stage. But in the end it is still the same, just like Yang Zhu still has to study for a PhD in the end.
"I just like to hear you talk about your dreams, but it's a pity that you don't say it anymore. Tell me more."
"I..." I was speechless, speechless. I didn't understand anything at that time, but I dared to think about everything. Now that I have read more books and experienced more people and things, why do I have no idea?
"...I also like your singing with drums. My good sisters envy me for having such a versatile boyfriend." I suddenly remembered, leaning over under the bed for a long time, and found out the tiles I used to carry with me every day. Pots. Wiping up the heavy ash, I tapped gently, finding a familiar melody. Unconsciously sang the most popular sentence: "I am a little duck, babble..."
Chun Shui giggled, his pale face showed a flush of excitement, "This is it, it's great, I haven't heard it for a long time. , Haha..."
I sang it over and over again, and there are many other nursery rhymes. Until Chun Shui fell asleep sweetly, I felt a little hoarse in my throat, but there was a kind of inexplicable happiness. Chun Shui turned over and murmured vaguely, "Qiu Shui, where are you? My sister missed you, and Zhuang Zhou always remembered you..."
I was stunned, and it took a long time to come back to my senses and lift it up. Clay basin, gently walk out of the house. Looking up at the sky, the moon today is very round. After watching the moon for a long time and wanting to sing, I strode far away until I would not disturb Chunshui and my neighbors. "I'm a little duck, babble babble..."
After I settled down for a spring nap that day, I went to the riverside to watch the scenery and fell asleep without knowing it. I dreamt of Qiushui again. Whenever I said, "Swim and swim freely in the water, how happy these fishes are", she said: "Fly and fly freely in the sky, how happy these birds are. ."
After Qiu Shui finished speaking, he pushed me vigorously, "Zhuang Zhou, the sun is all right." I happily said: "I dreamed of you again." "Fool, it's not a dream, I really came back." I opened my eyes in a daze, Qiu Shui looked at me with a smile, her eyes were wrinkled, but Her eyes are still so clear. I held Qiushui in a daze, a strand of hair brushed across my cheek, I smelled her familiar smell, and murmured: "You are back...".
I let go of Qiu Shui, "Go and see your sister, she is sick." A hint of worry flashed through Qiu Shui, "How has she been all these years?" Qiu Shui turned around, looked at the road, and sighed: " Chu Kingdom is about to fight over." I was taken aback, and following her gaze, a large number of refugees were staggering.
When Chu's army was about to march in Song Dynasty, Mo Di came to visit King Chu. "Someone drives a good car, wears famous brand fashions, eats a big meal, but steals the neighbours’ tattered clothes and eats food. Who is this?"
King Chu replied, "I know what you want to say, for ordinary people. People, this is theft, cut hands according to the law; for the king, this is the world!" Mo Di was speechless.
"The famous craftsman Lu Ban has built a ladder for me. This time I must destroy Song."
Mo Di offered to compete with Lu Ban. "If he helped the king destroy Song, I will help Song Kingdom resist the king."
So the king of Chu summoned Lu Ban, and both parties Putting aside the simulated city, Lu Ban successively changed the nine methods of siege, all of which were resolved by Mo Di. Lu Ban thought for a long time, and said, "I know how to deal with Mo Di, but I can't say it now." Mo Di smiled, but said nothing.
That night, Mo Di walked slowly back to the Chu State Guest House, and when he was about to an intersection, he suddenly stopped and laughed silently. Mo Di retreated gently, picked a handy brick on the ground as he walked, waved it a few times in the air, walked around from the previous intersection, turned two more turns, and saw Lu Ban holding the brick in ambush at the corner of the intersection.
Lu Ban was waiting attentively for Mo Di to appear, when he suddenly felt someone pat on his shoulder and turned his head instinctively. Mo Di quickly slapped his face with anxious hands. Lu Ban screamed and fell to the ground. Mo Di shook his head, "When I was a gangster, where were you playing in the mud?" He patted a few bricks with his strength, and sang away. "I am a little duck, babble babble..."
The next day, the king of Chu asked the two sides to continue the competition. In the hall, Mo Di made a grimace when he saw Lu Ban with a blue nose and a swollen face. Lu Ban's eyes appeared with hatred and fear. Lu Ban cheered up and set up another siege formation. Mo Di didn't even look at it, and said loudly, "I know how to deal with Lu Ban, but I can't say it now." So he got up and left, leaving Lu Ban dumbfounded.
On the way back to the State Guest House, Lu Ban went around when he saw the intersection, fearing that Mo Di would lie in ambush at the corner, but he never noticed it. Seeing that he was about to reach the heavily guarded State Guest House at the last intersection, Lu Ban breathed a sigh of relief and quickened his pace, but he still didn't see Mo Di, Lu Ban smiled. At this time, someone on the roof called his name. When Lu Ban raised his head subconsciously, a black shadow of a brick rushed toward his face. "Ah—" "Eh, oh, oh," Lu Ban's screams and Mo Di's singing echoed in the empty street.
On the third day, as soon as Mo Di saw Lu Ban who was more bruised and swollen, he said loudly, "I know how to deal with Lu Ban, but I can't say it now." Then he turned around and left. As a result, on the way back to the State Guest House that day, Lu Ban climbed up and down the Chu State House, fearing that Mo Di was lying in ambush on the roof, but he never noticed it. Seeing that the last room was about to arrive, Lu Ban learned his lesson and looked around more carefully, but saw nothing. Lu Ban felt very puzzled. He stood upright on the roof, and nothing happened for a long time, so he prepared to get off the roof.
Lu Ban just took a step, and suddenly his feet slipped. Luban tried hard to maintain his balance, but he also stepped on the oil on his other foot. Lu Ban yelled: Mo Di, I x your mother! He fell from the roof and fell heavily to the ground. Lu Ban was staring at the Venus, and he saw a figure holding a brick approaching him in a daze, his eyes blacked out and he passed out. "Ehhhhhhh..." On the
fourth day, King Chu and Mo Di waited in the palace for a long time, but Lu Ban did not come. A guard came in to report that Lu Ban had left the city and returned to his hometown last night. Mo Di laughed and stood up to compile and said: "Lu Ban is gone, and my three hundred disciples are still in the Song Dynasty with their defense equipment. Please take back the king's command to attack the Song Dynasty."
King Chu also smiled, beckoned, and the guard sent a box. King Chu took out a brick from inside. King Chu raised the brick and waved it a few times in the air. Seeing Mo Di's face without fear, he couldn't help but praised: "Courageous and strategic, and interesting, Mo Di, I really admire you. I have prepared gold and official position for Lu Ban. It's a pity. ... I know he can not hack earn your borders, disdain these as long as you can play for me, I can recover Gong Song of the king's commandment "
Moti do a series:" do not attack Song is the king of his own wise decision, ink Zhai just dared to speak, and could make some weapons. The world is big, and there are Qin, Jin and Wu Yue besides the Song Dynasty. If I follow the king, ordering me to attack these countries is as unrighteous as the Song Dynasty. Not listening to the king is also unfaithful. The king should let Mo Di be a freelancer."
King Chu sighed, smiled again, and beckoned. The guards led a man, who was a very respectable student of Mo Di, who should have been in the Song Dynasty. country. Mo Di's students were ashamed not to go to see Mo Di, and they walked forward and knelt in front of King Chu, and presented a roster. The eunuch took the roster and read out the names and awards in turn, including most of Mo Di's students. Mo Di was stunned, and King Chu burst out laughing.
Mo Di was frightened and angry, clenching his fists. Upon seeing this, the guard drew his sword. The King of Chu stopped them and walked forward and embraced Mo Di’s shoulders affectionately: "I can understand your feelings. I was also a passionate young man when I was young. But Mo Di, have you ever thought that you are talented and ambitious, but great? Some people just want to lead an ordinary life. Even if they can’t take care of themselves well, they can’t save the people of the world. Go back and think about it, I won’t stop you if I want to go to Song State, but I still think that Chu State is the aspiring young man. Choose, I'll wait for your message." The King of Chu has been sent to the palace gate.
Mo Di walked slowly back to the State Guest House with mixed feelings, packed up his parcel, and hurried out of the city to Song State.
I took time off and took care of Chun Shui, who was seriously ill, most of the time, talking with her and singing for her. Chat with Qiushui when you are free. Since we were young, we have had endless words. Unlike my wasting time, Qiu Shui's experience in the past ten years is very rich. She talked about the ruggedness outside the Great Wall of the Qin State, the beauty of Wuyue Water Village, the prosperous Qi State City, and the solemnity of Zhou Dynasty etiquette, all of which fascinated me. I have only seen it in books. It would be great if I had gone with Qiu Shui ten years ago.
Before the autumn harvest, Qiu Shui performed a song and dance at the sacrificial ceremony. Her awe-inspiring amazed all the villagers present and helped everyone to forget the threat of Chu's invasion for a short time. I was immersed in her energetic figure and singing, once again I felt emptiness and confusion.

of this dance is the great sun god worship, usually played by men , But Qiu Shui showed enough strength. A male priest acted as the steed of Radon Jun’s chariot, but his movements were so clumsy that everyone laughed. At this moment a handsome young man jumped onto the stage and replaced the priest.
Mo Di is not only good at defending the city, but also proficient in singing and dancing. He and Qiu Shui paired perfectly and won rounds of applause. Mo Di is a man who is very fond of girls. He has had many emotional experiences, but he felt that the woman in front of him was different. Her beautiful appearance and graceful posture made Mo Di temporarily forget the pain of being betrayed.
After the ceremony, Mo Diyi talked to Qiu Shui still. A child walked over and saw someone with Mo Di, so he stopped and did not dare to come over. Mo Di pulled him over: "This is my new student Wu Qi." Wu Qi looked at Qiushui secretly, and said softly, "You are like my sister..."
In this way, Wu Qi recognized Qiushui as his sister. Perhaps it is a necessary growth process for everyone to like older people of the opposite sex, and project the fantasy of youth on him/them. Slowly we will understand how far away there is between ideals and reality.
After a brief joy, the shadow of war has enveloped everyone's life.
Song Gong convened a meeting of all officials to discuss countermeasures. All the officials knew the power and cruelty of Chu, and no one spoke. Standing among a large group of low-level officials, Meng Ke summoned the courage to say one word: "Benevolence." Gong Song's eyes lit up, and an official quietly said: "It's over, the nerd met a nerd."
Song Gong's favorite Mrs. Chu was originally from Chu, so many people doubted her. But she walked out of the palace gate, actively recruiting soldiers, money and food, and condolences to the army and the civil servants who built fortifications. She said that Song Guo is my home. Many ministers still looked at Madam Chu with strange eyes, but Song Gong and the people trusted her.
This day Mrs. Chu came to Yang Zhu to collect donations. Yang Zhu didn't speak. Madam Chu looked at him with a complicated look for a long time, and sighed: "Because you read the second one after you read it, you can't do it for the benefit of the world by plucking a dime. Wouldn't you do it for the world and you won't do it for me? Ten Years ago you bought me from a human trafficker, and I was willing to repay you with myself, but you refused; if I had to work to repay you, you refused; later Song Gong fell in love with me, and I wanted you to take me out of Song China, you refuse; I want to accompany you one night before entering the palace, but you also refuse; if I knew this, I wish I had never seen you before. When you wanted to buy me, I would not follow you." Yang Zhu still Without speaking, Madam Chu left without looking back.
After Zou Yan got the news of the approaching war, he took out all the tools of divination to decide whether to stay or leave Song Kingdom. After comparing multiple results, Zou Yan packed up the package and fled out of the city. On the outskirts of the capital, he encountered two scouts from Chu State who were insulting an old man. Zou Yan thought of his old father who had not seen him in his hometown for many years. He wanted to help him, but he didn't dare. So he used the most convenient bamboo stick to calculate a divination. Good luck, so he took out some copper coins and asked Chu Bing to let him go. Old man.
The two Chu soldiers looked at each other and laughed: "Haha, someone sent money to the door, and today is really a lucky star..." He took the money happily, but kept his hands. Zou Yan said angrily: "I have given you money, why don't you let the old man go?" Before the words came, a soldier in front knocked Zou Yan to the ground with a punch, snatched his package, and took all the money. They were all searched.
This situation is beyond the results of Zou Yan's fortune-telling, and also beyond his life experience. Zou Yan lay on the ground and muttered to himself: "How can you treat a university professor like this?" Suddenly, his head became hot, and he grabbed a stone and slammed it on the foot of Chu Bing in front of him. Chu Bing was counting money, screamed loudly, and fell to the ground. Zou Yan rushed forward and slammed his head hard.
Seeing this, another Chu soldier hurriedly drew out his sword to kill Zou Yan. Zou Yan's momentum suddenly disappeared, and he hurriedly ran away. He stopped until he almost died, and he couldn't see Chu Bing anymore. Zou Yan lost the package and coil, and didn't know what to do. Fortunately, his divination tool is still in his arms. The result of the divination was to go in the direction where he had just run. Zou Yan held a bamboo skewer for a long time, and suddenly threw it on the ground. Then he took out all the divination tools in his arms and threw it on the ground with his feet messy. Step on, curse while stepping. When enough to vent, Zou Yan walked back to Songdu and joined the army. Zou Yan never had any fortune-telling all his life.
In September, the Chu State Army crossed the Song State border, and the Song Army set out to meet the enemy. The two armies faced each other across the river. Soon, the Chu army began to cross the river. When they had just crossed a small number of Chu army, Song Jiang asked to launch a surprise attack while they were still standing. The army was so magnificent, the army was so magnificent, the Song army couldn't help being frightened.
As usual, morale must be boosted before the war begins. The Song army came first, and under the leadership of the general, the eight thousand soldiers of the Song Kingdom shouted in unison: "For the country-for the people-for the great self-for the country-for the people-for the great self-for the country-for the People-for the great self -". But Song Jun had been standing for too long, and his waist was aching, and his legs were aching. In addition, Song Jun was already scared, and his slogan didn't sound so majestic.
When Song Jun finished shouting, the 30,000 Chu Jun shouted in unison: "Grab money-grab land-grab women-grab money-grab land-grab women-grab money-grab land-grab women- —" The momentum is huge and morale is high. After Chu Jun shouted his slogan, he launched a stormy attack on Song Jun. The Song Army's battle line was quickly broken through, and the soldiers began to flee. Song Gong shouted "for the country, the people, and the self" in the formation, but no one listened to him. Only an arrow from Chu Jun suddenly hit Song Gong's thigh, and Song Gong could only shout "Oh oh oh".
Song Gong escaped back to the palace with his injuries, lying on the bed. The courtiers surrounded him, talking about Song Jun's defeat. A court lady complained: "They all misheard what the bookworm said." Many court ladies and eunuchs all thought it was true, and glared at Meng Ke. Meng Ke hurriedly waved his hand: "I didn't say not to attack the enemy crossing the river."
But the maids and eunuchs couldn't tell apart, they rushed to hold Meng Ke and beat them, grabbing and biting. Meng Ke yelled for help, but the civilian officials and military commanders looked on indifferently, even very happy. In the end, an impulsive eunuch grabbed Song Gong’s chamber pot and buckled it on Meng Ke’s head. The stench was stinking. Everyone covered their noses and escaped. Meng Ke was able to escape. He ran home and closed the door. He came out three days later, but Never go back to work again. Two more days later, Song Gong died from an arrow injury.
The Chu army took a break and began to besiege the capital of Song State. Madam Chu took the place of Song Gong to command the army and the people to fight against the Chu army, and Mo Di assisted her. The brutal siege lasted for a month. The equipment made by Mo Di killed many of his former students. Zou Yan, a former university professor, suffered severe arrow wounds. On the eve before the capital was about to fall, Madam Chu ordered Mo Di to evacuate the capital with the surviving soldiers and civilians, but she insisted on staying.
The folk husband carried the dying Zou Yan and passed in front of Yang Zhu. Yang Zhu asked him: "Do you think it is worth it? I heard that you were going to leave Song State for the fortune-telling, so why didn't you leave?" Zou Yan said, "I have never I decided one thing. When I was a child, it was all arranged by adults. When I grew up, I didn’t dare to face the reality. I lived so long and finally decided one thing by myself. I was very happy. I didn't live in vain." Zou Yan exhausted his whole body. With his strength, he sang the last song of his life: "I am a little duck, babble babble...", smiled and closed his eyes.
At this time, the day began to light, and the Song people on the way to escape and the Chu soldiers who had just woke up saw a fire in the capital of Song State, and heard a mournful song of Chu floating in the fire:

The fire gradually engulfed the singing, illuminated the whitish sky, and concealed Yang Zhu's heart-piercing cry from no one in the woods.
I always reject others because I am afraid of being rejected.
The Song State was destroyed.
King Chu knew that people's hearts were not stable, so he thought of a way to show off his strength. The Chu army was ordered to set up a high platform and hung up a banner "Chu Swordsmanship Exchange Conference", which drove many people to watch. A swordsman known as the No. 1 swordsman in the Chu Kingdom stood on a high platform to challenge the people of Song Dynasty. But no one dared to take the stage.
It took a long time for Chu State to stand for the first time, feeling very impatient, and suddenly saw a child standing in the crowd, holding a broken sword tightly, very interested. He jumped off the stage and the crowd stepped away. Wu Qi also wanted to walk away, but he was already caught by the No. 1 in Chu State.
"What is this in your hand?"
"Sword."
"Ahahaha, this is also called a sword."
"What are you doing holding this tattered?"
"I want to be a swordsman when I grow up."
"Ahahaha, do you want to be a swordsman too?"
Chu Guo No.1 laughed exaggeratedly, leaning forward and closing, Wu Qi blushed and wanted to run away, but Chu was the first to grab him onto the high platform. "Come on, let me see the kung fu of the great swordsman in the future." Chu Guoyi put down Wu Qi, took a step back, and shouted: "Great swordsman, draw your sword." But Wu Qi didn't move.
First of the State of Chu felt very upset, and stepped forward to slap Wu Qi. Wu Qi still didn't move, Chu Guo No.1 became even more angry, and continued to fight. Wu Qi was knocked down, and slowly got up and drew his sword. The number one Chu Guo was very happy, and continued to tease Wu Qi: "Prick, prick here." With one hand, he gestured in a circle on his heart.
Wu Qi violently rushed towards the No. 1 of Chu State. The No. 1 of Chu State especially wanted to show off his martial arts. He drew his sword abruptly when it was about to reach his body, and easily knocked Wu Qi's sword into the air. Wu Qi was enraged, ran over to pick up the sword, rushed over, and was beaten away again. Wu Qi kept running, rushing, and being defeated like this, crying hoarsely, and in the end it was no longer like a human voice. The No. 1 of the Chu Kingdom and the Chu King Chubing who was on the sidelines laughed from time to time, cried out strangely: "Great Swordsman, rush." The people of the Song Kingdom could no longer bear to watch.
Mo Di hid in the crowd, observing this cat and mouse game coldly, and seeing that Chu Guo No.1 became more and more relaxed, he suddenly shouted, "Non-attack." Wu Qi was in a frantic state and heard a familiar voice from Master. "Non-offensive" is a newly learned sword move. Its main point is not to defend, but to attack the enemy's hub for attack. Wu Qi had already practiced very well, and he used it without hesitation, and stab the wrist of the number one in Chu State.
The sword inlaid with gold and silver fell to the ground, and the laughter of Chu people stopped abruptly, and the number one of the country of Chu looked at the blood on his wrist incredulously. Wu Qi was not in a daze. He took a step forward, and cut his throat with a sword, killing a cow with a blister.
I have fought hundreds of battles since I debuted, and I have never failed. I never thought I would die in the hands of a kid today. I like to cut people's throats because my hands are fast, and when blood comes out of my throat, it sounds very nice like the sound of wind. Now I heard the sound of my own blood spurting out, and it was just as good.
I remember when I wanted to go down the mountain, the master kept me: if you practice for another ten years, I will teach you the supreme kendo, which is "life and death." I said: I have been practicing swordsman for 20 years. I am already 30 years old. I am already a first-class swordsman in the world. What's the point of practicing to 40 years old? Master looked up to the sky and sighed, why do things in the world have to be useful? I still left, and the master died within a few years. If time can be turned back, I will choose to stay. Master, here I am...
Chu State fell on the high platform with mixed feelings, and all of them were dead silent for a while. Wu Qi looked down at the corpse of the No. 1 in Chu country for a long time, and was finally convinced that he had killed someone. The fierce eyes of the first time in his life appeared in his eyes. :"Who else--".
No one answered. Only a few Chu soldiers retreated unconsciously and hit the armor and shield. Wu Qi picked up the first sword of Chu Kingdom with his feet and threw it to the stage. The Chu soldiers hurriedly avoided near the landing point, raising their shields to resist, so more people ran into each other. Wu Qi cut off the head of Chu State No. 1 again and threw it on the head of Chu Jun further away.
Seeing the chaos of his subordinates, Chu Jiang looked back at King Chu, waiting for his order. King Chu's face was uncertain, and he gritted his teeth and made a first sound: "sh——" Everyone except Wu Qi listened. Chu Jiang thought it must be "killing", and raised the sword. As long as the sword fell hard, the soldiers swarmed up and chopped Wu Qi into mud. King Chu sat on the rostrum and scanned the crowd. He seemed to hear Mo Di's voice just now, but he couldn't see him.
The king of Chu thought about Mo Di, and suddenly smiled, "ang——" Chu would hear that it was a reward, and he retracted the sword and scabbed it, and said loudly: "Reward the warrior——" A voice from a distance responded: "Reward the warrior——" It spreads farther and farther. After a while, several carriages drove up one by one, and the voices passed from far to near: "Rewarding one hundred gold——" "Rewarding ten silks——" "Rewarding a pair of——".
The former Song people breathed a sigh of relief, and Chu people were surprised that they also felt relieved. King Chu touched Shi Zi's head and said earnestly: "He thinks he is sure of winning...You remember, there are only two kinds of people in the world, winners and losers. The first is strong, and then the loser."
Shi Zi nodded and remembered.
After the war subsided, Qiu Shui gave her accessories to me, Chun Shui, Mo Di, Wu Qi and other good people. I thought she was going outside again, and I was worried whether she would get sick like Chunshui too.
Qiu Shui asked me to take a walk on a high cliff that I used to play when I was a child, overlooking the river. Walking silently, Qiu Shui suddenly said: "Fly and fly freely in the sky, how happy these birds are", I continued: "Swim and swim freely in the water, how happy these fishes are".
Qiu Shui said leisurely: "I've already flown, I'm going to fly for the last time." I suddenly woke up and wanted to grab her hard, but only caught one of her sleeves. Qiu Shui jumped down, fluttering in his white clothes, like a flying bird, across the sky, falling into the ripples of the autumn water.
I lost Qiushui, or I never got her. We have seen the life of our parents since we were young, and we know our whole life in one day. Although many children want to take a different path, they will still be the same when they grow up. Only Qiu Shui had the courage to go out and wander around. Qiu Shui can go out, but she knows that her family inherited the strange disease has nowhere to escape, and the only thing that can refuse this fate is death.
In fact, everyone will die one day, but at least they have to choose a way of death and die with dignity. Before death, every woman will grow old and no longer look good. The only thing that can be avoided is to die when she is young. Everyone only remembers her young face. But that would not be able to experience a complete life, so Qiu Shui worked harder to enrich his life.
I told Wu Qi and Mo Di about Qiushui's death. Wu Qi wanted to use the bounty to buy a set of beautiful jewelry for Qiu Shui. This small wish would never be realized. He was very sad and cried like a wolf howling. Wu Qi cried enough, wiped away the tears, said: "This is the last time I cried in my life, I will only let the world cry in the future", and left.
Seeing Wu Qi's thin figure disappear at the intersection, I feel jealous. I missed the opportunity ten years ago.
I heard that Wu Qi later married a woman from Qi. When he was a general in Lu, Lu and Qi fought. When Wu Qi was suspicious, he killed his wife, not to mention reuse. So Wu Qi went to Wei State.
Later, Chu State was in turmoil. The king of Chu was dissatisfied with the elder son's talents and wanted to abolish him. Shizi got the news and launched a coup. The king of Chu wanted to eat a bear paw before he died. The son said: "Father, you told me that there are only two kinds of people in the world, winners and losers. The first is the strongest, and the second is the loser. The bear's paw is too hard to be familiar with." The king of Chu was strangled to death by the soldiers with white silk with the regret that he did not eat the bear paw.
The new king was very impressed with Wu Qi, and asked him to be the prime minister of Chu. After Wu Qi came to power, he was determined to reform and brutally attacked the nobles. Chu Kingdom is getting stronger and stronger, but many people hate him. After the new king died of illness, they gathered to besiege Wu Qi. Wu Qi fled to the mourning hall of King Chu, and was shot dead by random arrows while holding King Chu's body.
King Chu, who strangled his father, learned his father’s lesson and always said to his son: "There are only three kinds of people in the world, winners, losers, and your father." As a result, he was able to die well, and after his son ascended the throne, he pursued shooting Chu. The criminals of the king’s corpse killed more than 70 families. Wu Qi's body full of arrows was also grandly buried. The funeral home workers discovered that he was hiding a white jade ring next to him, with the words "Autumn Water" engraved on it.
Shoot me, shoot me, I am not afraid of death, you are afraid. I'll take a step first, and you will come to me crying.
Mo Di was also very sad. He had just encountered betrayal and killed many students who had been very important, and finally lost his short-term love. But Mo Di was very strong. He sang "I am a little duck" and left, and continued to run for the stability of the world.
Many years later, one day, Mo Di felt that his deadline was approaching, so he built a wooden mandarin and made a slide on the top of the mountain. The elderly Mo Di sat on Mu Yuan and said goodbye to all his relatives, friends and students.
"Don't be sad, life is inevitable, this is the way I choose to die... Fly and fly freely in the sky, how happy these birds are... Come on, children, give me a ride!" The student pushed up the wooden mandarin faster and faster. The last hand loosened, the wooden mandarin flew into the sky with Mo Di, flying farther and farther until it disappeared, but he could still hear his vigorous singing echo: "I am one Little duck, babble..."
I have a lot of regrets, but overall I have had a happy life. Happiness is actually very simple, wise and tolerant...
Chunshui's condition is getting more and more serious, and I stay with her all day. "Zhuang Zhou, why didn't you go with Qiushui ten years ago?" "I'm afraid." "What are you afraid of?" "I stay and have a stable job. The outside world is too big, I don't understand, so Fear." I clearly remember that Qiu Shui once came to me the night when he decided to leave. I refused to go with her for this reason.
"Then do you regret it now?" "I regretted it, but not anymore." "Why?" "When I'm at home, I always want to go out and have a look. If I really go out, I am always happy to go to a new place. , But after staying for a long time, I will find that it is no different from my hometown, and I start to miss home again... I am by the river every day, and I can see many different scenery in different moods... The past is gone, cherish the present ."
"I have taken care of my sister since I was a child, but I am actually very jealous of her. I am not as beautiful or personal as she is. Boys always pay attention to her, and so do you. I always try to conceal this jealousy so that no one can see it. But I know she knows, but she doesn't care, just like she doesn't care about the jealousy of other women. I think she knows that this is the price to be paid to be an extraordinary woman. When she ran away, I was sad. After all, I only have one sister. But I am also secretly happy. If she is here, you won’t marry me."
"But I was wrong. If she is absent, you will remember her even more. I often think: If she stays, maybe with your personality, Instead of being together, I have a chance. I also often think: How much weight do I have in your heart? Is it half of her? Or half of it? But now I don’t think these are important anymore, my best I’m always with you at the time and at the end, that’s enough. I’m sleepy, sing me a song, okay"...
Chunshui’s funeral was presided over by Meng Ke, and people judge him to be the best priest in the Song Dynasty. Even better. After the funeral, Meng Ke still stood in front of the tomb of Chunshui for a long time and refused to leave. The next morning, at some point, Meng Ke left. I know he will never come to my house again.
It is said that afterwards, Meng Ke traveled around the world and persuaded the princes to implement benevolent governance. Those in power were busy fighting and having fun, and no one cared about him. But Meng Ke still insisted, just as he taught his students to "know it is impossible."
"Meng Ke, is it a courtesy for men and women to give or not to kiss?" "Yes!" I said loudly. "Then my sister-in-law fell into the water, can I reach out to save her?" I felt something in my heart, and I said louder: "My sister-in-law fell into the water, if you don't reach out to rescue, that's a jackal. It is a courtesy for men and women to give or receive. Helping is flexible!"
I met Chun Shui by the river that day, and her back in the laundry was like a mother. I watched for a long time until I was awakened by the call for help. I didn't think about anything, so I jumped into the water. I don't know how to get back to the shore. When she woke up, she was cooking porridge for me...
I always liked her, but I didn't tell her until she died. It can be seen that although Zhuang Zhou only has others in her heart, she still loves Zhuang Zhou very much. I'm afraid she will be angry if I say it. It’s like I don’t like learning at all. I like to sacrifice and slaughter pigs and sheep, but I never dared to tell my mother for fear that she would be angry...
"If you have fallen into the water today, why didn't the master stretch out your hand?" "The sky is falling into the water, to help, the sister-in-law falls into the water, reaching out to help-do you want to help the world with only one hand?" I have the courage to help the world, why don't I have the courage to treat her Confession?
I buried Chun Shui on the top of the hill next to the house. She often stood there waiting for me to come home for dinner. After the funeral, I sat by the river again and watched the scenery. At this moment, these familiar sceneries have a different feeling. I have always wanted to be promoted so that Chun Shui can have a better life, and finally realized that she just wanted me to go home early and listen to my drum sing. It's a pity that everything can't be done from scratch. There used to be an opportunity to go out and wander around, but I missed it. Then I waited by the river every day, and there was a person waiting for me at the door of my house. Before I knew it, I was not young anymore. I waited until Qiu Shui came back, but she went with the wind on the high cliff. I did not wait for the promotion of the king's order, and the Song Dynasty had already perished.
Tomorrow morning the sun will rise as usual, there is nothing to wait, and no one is waiting for me. Why do I live? After sitting for a long time, I walked aimlessly in the night when a skeleton tripped me. Under the cold moonlight, it was not so terrible. "How did you die? Was it war or suicide? To freeze to death and starve to death? Or have to live forever?" I muttered to myself, falling asleep on my skull.
In the dream, the skeleton said to me: "The sorrow of the living has nothing to do with the dead. After a person dies, there is no king on the top and no courtiers on the bottom. It will remain the same throughout the seasons and will last forever with the world. Even if the south is king, happiness is nothing more than this!" I don’t believe: "Do you want me to be a priest to the god of life, ask him to restore your shape, grow flesh and blood, and send you back to your parents, wife and children?" Skeleton frowned, he did not want to give up being happier than the king , Experience all the pains of life again. In my dream, while talking with Skeleton, I suddenly remembered that I had heard someone say: How do you know that greed is not a kind of loss? Afraid of death, didn’t you know how to go home?
When I woke up, it was early morning. A bunch of flowers swayed before my eyes with dew. After looking at flowers and dew for a while, I went to sleep again, dreaming that I became a butterfly flying freely among the flowers, and the dew wetted my colorful wings. Waking up again in the flying dance, the sun was slowly rising from the horizon. In the dawn, I wondered blankly, I wonder if Zhuang Zhou turned into a butterfly in his dream, or a butterfly turned into Zhuang Zhou in his dream.
Oh I see.
"The king of Chu has long admired the sages of Zhuang Zhou, and sent us to invite you to entrust the aspect to your husband..." I grabbed the fishing rod, and said without looking back, "I heard that there was a divine tortoise in Chu country, who died for three thousand years. The king of Chu was packed in a bamboo box, covered with a cloth towel, and cherished on the temple. Do you say that the tortoise is willing to die and leave a carapace for worship, or is it willing to drag its tail to crawl in the mud?" Chu's messenger answered without thinking. "I am willing to drag my tail to crawl in the muddy water." "Let's go, let me drag my tail to crawl in the muddy water."
Chu Shi stayed there for a while. Hui Shi's fishing rod quivered, causing a ripple on the surface of the river. So I said to the angel: "My learned friend Hui Shih, the king will be able to help neutralize the world." Huishi want to say anything, I gently waved:. "You know I know the fish happy."
I Say goodbye to Hui Shi by the bridge. Later Hui Shi came to Wei as the prime minister. Once I went to see him, there were artificial rumors that I wanted to replace his aspect. Hui Shi was panicked and searched Wei Guoguo for three days and three nights.
"Report to Xiangguo, Zhuang Zhou has already run away, and he left a letter." I opened the letter paper, and there was a simple picture of a fish on it. I remembered that on a sunny day, fishes were swimming under the bridge. "Don't chase, let him go."
I never went out to work again, plowing the few thin plots of land left at home for a living. Between work, I linger in the mountains and rivers, singing indulgently. I really want to write something. When I was young, I thought of being a literary youth. Suddenly one day I was very inspired, so I wrote:
"There is a fish in the North Ming, whose name is Kun. Kun is so big, I don’t know how many miles it is; when it turns into a bird, its name is Peng. Peng’s back is unknown. It is thousands of miles away; it flies in anger, and its wings are like clouds in the sky. It is a bird, and the sea will travel to Nanming. Nanming is also Tianchi. Those who are in harmony, and those who are strange. Nan Ming also, the water hit three thousand li, and the one who swept upward was 90,000 li, and the one who went to breathe in June. The wild horse is also, the dust is also, the living thing blows with the breath. The sky is blue, its true color? Its Far away and nowhere to be extremely evil? It
looks at it, and if it is, it is already..." 2005.9.6
