There is no cure

Zixiu got up early in the morning and sat down in the yard wrapped up after eating. He held up a cup and sipped hot tea, squinted his eyes comfortably, and turned a deaf ear to the nagging words of the people running back and forth behind him.

"Zixiu, even if you want to wait for him, you won't run into the yard. It's so cold outside, why don't you go back to the house to warm up? Listen to me. Hey, don't go back, let's not rush to drink tea, The water is already cold." Bian Que picked up the teapot to test the temperature, and sure enough, it was already cold after a while. "Wait for me to change the pot of water, don't fall asleep lying on the table, the stone table is so cold."

Finally gone, really noisy.Zixiu put down his cup and picked up the stove on his lap, tucked his hands in his sleeves and squinted to look outside the door.

"Taibai, since you're here, come in and sit for a while." Just as Zixiu finished speaking, there was movement behind him. "Sir, do you know I'm coming?" "Yes." "As expected of you, sir." Li Bai went to the stone table and sat down opposite Zhuang Zhou, "I have admired Mr. Zhuang Zhou's name for a long time, and the sage is really different from ordinary people."

When Bian Que came back, he saw the person sitting opposite Zixiu. He poured water for them and planned to leave.While pouring water, Li Bai looked at this strange man and said, "I don't drink tea, wine is enough." Without expression, he just put away the glass and said: "There is no wine here, sir, you can only do what you want."

Seeing Bian Que walking away, Li Bai turned his head to look at Zhuang Zhou with a complicated expression, and asked, "That person just now was Bian Que?" Zixiu nodded.Li Bai watched Zhuang Zhou put down the empty cup, the tea had already been drunk. "Mister dares to drink the tea that guy poured?" "Why?" Zixiu put his hands into his sleeves and looked at Li Bai with a smile. "It's nothing." Li Bai turned his eyes sideways, not looking at him, "I just heard that since the Qin Palace incident, his temperament has changed a lot, and he is a little worried about Mr. After all, why is he here with Mister."

"In short, he was sick once before, and he has been taking care of me for a while..." "Mister is sick?" Li Bai looked at Zhuang Zhou, his tone full of shock. "It's okay," Zixiu shook his head, "It's almost done. Taibai came here today, he didn't just want to know about my little illness, did he?"

"I used to read Mr.'s works often, soaring up to [-] miles. Mr.'s wisdom always makes me stand upright. When I heard that Mr. is ill, I was a little anxious and lost my composure." Zixiu frowned slightly. It looked like he had never heard of it. "That's not me." "Sir?"

Zixiu sighed: "I was just created to bear the name of my ancestor. I never dared to stand shoulder to shoulder with that ancestor. Even if I used the gene of the ancestor when I created it, I will not be him after all." "Then..." "We are the same kind of people, and we were created together by them. The gentleman you admire is not in this world, he is far away millions of years ago. You are too."

Li Bai lost his mind for a moment: "Then, then what am I? As long as I can remember, they called me Taibai, saying that I was a knight, a poet, and everything I said and did was influenced by Zhuangzi's words. I always thought Mr. You are Zhuangzi, and I am Li Taibai. But now you suddenly say, I am not Li Bai, so who am I?"

"You just happen to have the same name as him." Zixiu lowered his head and stared at the water glass, a layer of water stains on the bottom of the glass vaguely reflected a dead branch of a tall tree behind him. "What happened to Li Bai doesn't mean what to do to you. Since you have the opportunity to experience the world, why live in the shadow of others."

"The ancestor Li Bai lived a life of freedom and unrestraint, and he always wanted to be an official in the court, but what you always cared about was the sunset on the Gobi in your hometown. You see, you and him are always different people." Hearing what Zhuang Zhou said , Li Bai's hand under the table gradually clenched. "Sir, you all know..." "Well, I know, the person in Chang'an City, and what she did."

"Ha, thank you for your advice, sir." Li Bai got up and gave Zhuang Zhou a deep bow, "I think my long-term hesitation seems to be just a joke now." After speaking, he turned and left.

"Taibai," Zixiu called the white-clothed swordsman, "Although you are not the same person as him, I still hope that you can be as chic as him." Having said this, Zixiu paused, "Don't be stopped by paranoia up the pace."

"Okay." "Also," Zixiu smiled when he said this, "You can inform the guard in advance when you come to Jixia next time, and someone will arrange it properly. They will never be like someone and deliberately refuse to give you wine for drink."

Li Bai walked to the door, saw Bian Que waiting outside, turned around and shouted to Zhuang Zhou in the courtyard: "If I can see you again next time, I will definitely drink with you, and I won't go home until I'm drunk." If you don’t get drunk, you won’t go home.” After speaking, Li Bai turned around, saw Bian Que holding back his anger, laughed loudly, and disappeared in front of Bian Que with faint steps.

A dazed Li Bai disappeared in front of him, and Bian Que was furious, and immediately rushed into the yard to find Zixiu to discuss it.Zixiu looked at the strange doctor's panic-stricken look calmly, and couldn't help laughing.When Bian Que, who was about to start a long speech, saw this smile, most of his anger disappeared immediately, and his tone became less aggressive: "Are you still not clear about your own health? That Li Bai drank recklessly, you can't talk to him." Same."

"I'm not a doctor. I don't know what's going on with my body. But you, Dr. Qin, I wouldn't be able to notice if you've done anything in your daily diet." After finishing speaking, Zixiu got up and went back to the room to rest. When Bian Que heard this, he became anxious again: "Zixiu, you know that I can't harm you now, and even I have never tampered with your food before. Zixiu!"

As soon as Zixiu stepped into the room, he turned around and closed the door, shutting out the nagging strange doctor. "..." The closing of the door also interrupted Bian Que's speech.He stood at the door in a daze, not daring to push the door to go in for a moment, struggling for a long time, finally knocked on the door, pushed it open and walked in.

"Zixiu," Bian Que closed the door behind his back, and said to the back in front of the desk, "Li Bai, what did you talk about before?" Zixiu put down his pen, and the scattered papers on the table were also pressed down by the paperweight. Turning around and lying on the back of the chair, tilting his head to look at the strange doctor, he didn't speak for a long time.Bian Que lowered his head and said, "I won't ask if it's inconvenient. What do you want for lunch? I'll prepare it later."

"Come here," Zixiu got up and moved a stool, "it's not important." Bian Que walked over and sat down opposite Zixiu, listening to him.

"I once dreamed of a world with towering buildings, horseless carts, and long-winged iron birds—this is what it looked like after. Thousands of years ago, that world was very similar to ours today, There is also a man named Zhuang Zhou, who left behind many works, which will also influence people in that world thousands of years later, for example, a man named Li Bai in that world. Li Bai and I rely on the people in that world Humans were created here. Many people here were created according to the appearance of that world." Having said that, Zixiu gave a wry smile.

"I was young..." Bian Que paused, and then changed his words, "I didn't know this before, I only knew about the Demon Seeds. How about Zixiu and Zhuang Zhou in that world, did you meet Bian Que? , or Li Bai... Ah, by the way, I was not created by them, and there was no Bian Que in that world."

"In that world, Zhuang Zhou lived a very good life, and his life was stable. Li Bai was not born until a thousand years after his death. As for Bian Que, there was a person named Bian Que in that world. I don't know if they met each other, but ……""only?"

"At the same time as Zhuang Zhou, a physician named Bian Que was envied by others. After he escaped from Qin, he was still killed."
