rape

Five years later.

In the evening of Qingqiu, a man stood in the depths of the alley with his head hunched, looking at the gate in front of him and hesitating for a long time. Finally, he mustered up the courage to walk up the steps and knocked on the gate lightly.

The man in the courtyard was patiently pinching the hand of the little girl in red and teaching her to write. The little girl looked twelve or thirteen years old, her eyes were black and shiny.Hearing the knock on the door, the little girl raised her head with a swipe, dropped her pen and ran away, "Father, I'm going to open the door!"

Yu Zishi looked at Huan Zhu's figure running fast, and then at the small seal characters on the bamboo slips that looked like dogs planing, sighed, turned his head and said to the young man beside him, "Tell me the truth, you are in the classroom every day. What are you studying?"

Yan Le glanced at the bamboo slips, unable to speak out in embarrassment, he hesitated twice, then turned to look at Huan Zhu at the door.

Huan Zhula opened the door and took a look, then turned to Yu Zishi and shouted, "Father, it's Master Xu!"

Yu Zishi turned his head to look, and a person came in slowly at the door.

Xu Fu?

Yu Zishi looked at Yan Le, "You take Huan Zhu down first, and teach her to correct the characters for me."

"Yes." Yan Le walked up to Huan Zhu, looked away after looking at her, and said two words without emotion, "Let's go."

Huan Zhu pouted, "Father, I will go down first!"

"En." Yu Zishi watched the two children leave the yard, then raised his head to look at Xu Fu who was shivering, "Are you looking for me?"

Xu Fu stood hesitantly for a while, then suddenly stepped forward and dragged the table in front of Yu Zishi away, and sat down in front of him, and he stretched out his hand to grab Yu Zishi's sleeve, "Master Zhao."

Yu Zishi looked at Xu Fu who posted it inexplicably, and raised his eyebrows, "What? Li Si gave you another gift?"

"No." Xu Fu's face was so wrinkled that one wanted to have his creases ironed out.

"Let's listen." Yu Zishi pulled his sleeve back from Xu Fu's hand, "What happened?"

"Lu Sheng and Hou Sheng came back from the sea two days ago." Xu Fu stretched out his hand and pulled Yu Zishi's sleeve back, with the look of a war between heaven and man in his heart.

Yu Zishi recalled it for a while, and got the impression that Lu Sheng and Hou Sheng were two well-known alchemists in the Qin Palace. Like Xu Fu, they lived by fooling people all day long.He nodded and looked at Xu Fu, "They came back from the sea, um, so what's the matter? Didn't you go to the sea two or three times before? You went to Penglai, Fangzhang, and... what fairy mountains? Looking for the elixir of life, right?"

Hearing Yu Zishi's words, Xu Fu almost couldn't hold back, he stubbornly grabbed Yu Zishi's sleeve, raised his head with difficulty and choked up and said, "Master Zhao, this day is really impossible."

Where can he find some kind of immortal to ask for the elixir?In the past two years, Qin Shihuang's obsession with seeking immortality and asking questions has become more and more frightening. He admits that he is cowardly.

Yu Zishi didn't know what to say, so he comforted Xu Fu perfunctorily, but suddenly felt his sleeves sinking suddenly.

Xu Fulai also thought about it all night before, but at this moment he suddenly realized that he was going to fight it out today, and this day is really impossible!Gritting his teeth, he stared at Yu Zishi word by word and said, "Zhao Gao, let me go."

It was the first time Yu Zishi heard such a strong request from Xu Fu, he was slightly taken aback, and asked back, "Let you go?"

Xu Fu closed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief, and opened his eyes again with a calm and solemn look that he had never seen before.

"Zhao Gao, I admit that I was indeed wrong. I have never mentioned my ancestors to you before, and I want to say a few words to you today. My grandparents, the Xu family, was a big family in the six kingdoms of Shandong. It even overwhelmed the four great families of onmyojis in the Wei state. When they came out, they would fight with the kings and princes, and when they came in, they would despise the princes and generals. Then the Xu family was suddenly slaughtered, and their descendants were almost close. Even less than 20 years ago, my father left the world and my mother died early. I inherited the Xu family's Kanyu art of debate, and mastered the study of Yin-Yang Fengshui.

When I first joined the WTO, I shouted that I wanted to restore the Xu family and revive the lineage of life masters, but in fact, I, Xu Fu, went for the glory and wealth that my father and I described. What kind of scenery is it?I am a descendant of the Xu family, what those old men can do, I, Xu Fu, will definitely not lose to any of them. "

Xu Fu was so excited that he trembled all over his body, Yu Zishi reached out to grab a glass of water from the case and handed it to him, listening to him continue talking.

Xu Fu took a sip of water, and suddenly gave a wry smile, "Glory, wealth, and fame, I, Xu Fu, are vulgar, and I have no intention of being a sage. To put it bluntly, I just want money! I want to live a good life, and I want to be famous. Who dares to say that I, Xu Fu, are not worthy of these things, I am the last generation of life masters in the Xu family! The last generation!" Xu Fu severely accentuated the word "last", which was a ferocious look that Yu Zishi had never seen before.

"But you are not sure." Yu Zishi remembered what Wei Chou said, and said softly.

"Yes, I'm not sure!" Xu Fu said bitterly: "My father only taught me these things before he died. He said that I know these things are enough. No matter how much I begged him to scold him, he just kept saying Pretending to be deaf, he died, and I was so aggrieved that I wrapped him in a mat and buried him hastily, I turned my head and ran away holding my breath." He lowered his voice as he spoke, "It's been so many years , I have never figured it out, I always feel that he is a complete coward. His wife and daughter got sick and were too poor to buy medicine and both died of illness, but he still looked indifferent. I was very happy when he died, and I didn’t even think about it. Change him into clean clothes and bury him."

"Later, when I entered the world, I boasted that I came from an extraordinary background and had a proud talent. I will never forget the hardships I suffered at that time. I am really afraid of suffering." Xu Fu sniffed and even smiled slightly , that smile made people feel sour.He went on to say: "Then I understood that in this world, being able to get along is the most important thing, and everything else is empty, just like the reputation, where is the money? It's just that I didn't expect it. Easy, I was worse than my father in the end, he still had a thatched hut before he died, and I didn’t get involved with anything in most of my life. Lied, cheated, stolen, robbed, which one have I never done? Shantou almost entered the grass and became a bandit, and in order to get married, I married my daughter who weighed more than 200 catties."

Yu Zishi finally opened his eyes and looked at Xu Fu when he heard this sentence.

"Why are you looking at me? I'm going to starve you for four days and you'll marry me!" Xu Fu glared at Yu Zishi, and then said, "I thought this was the way I should be in this life. The black-bone chicken flapped twice and really pretended to be a phoenix, with glory and wealth, except for one Li Si, life is actually quite comfortable, at least not worrying about food and clothing."

"So what are you running for?" Yu Zishi asked, "And where do you want to go?"

Xu Fu seemed to think of something, and a little light appeared in his eyes, "Zhao Gao, have you seen Wang Yanghai?"

Yu Zishi shook his head, and was very frank about his ignorance, "I haven't seen it."

Xu Fu said softly: "I haven't seen it before, but he said he had. I never believed him before, nor did I believe in such things as sea tides and bright moons, or any grand sights in the world."

Yu Zishi looked at Xu Fu's eyes, thought for a while and asked, "Your father?"

Xu Fu rubbed his nose, took a breath, and suddenly smiled, "You are wrong. I don't want to run, but I don't want to run." He finally believed that the man had not deceived him.

The sea tide and the bright moon are indeed a well-deserved grand scene in the world.

Xu Fu looked at the eastern sky, and slowly and firmly said word by word: "Zhao Gao, I want to lead the ship to go out to sea from Langya, cross all the way north, pass through three rivers, and sail eastward on the sea for thousands of miles."

Yu Zishi drank the water, the cup in his hand paused suddenly.He looked up at Xu Fu, and asked after a long time, "Are you sure?"

Xu Fu thought for a while, then suddenly asked: "Zhao Gao, do you understand astrology? Changing star map, Beidou Ziwei, what every onmyoji should learn, do you know?" He looked at Yu Zishi.

Yu Zishi shook his head, "I know, I don't understand."

"I have been studying astrology since I was a child. I have been studying astrology for more than ten years, but I have always found it boring. Until two days ago, a boy in his teens came to Shangyuan. Burning fire and sweeping the floor and so on, that day he spilled cinnabar and ruined a furnace of elixir, and cried under the steps of the elixir room. Coaxed him, so I drew a star map for him on the ground, unexpectedly, the child's eyes lit up all of a sudden."

Xu Fu was silent for a while, "I suddenly remembered why my father taught me the so-called yin and yang." He said softly: "When I was five or six years old, in the summer night, he hugged me in the osmanthus tree Under the cool, he drew a star map for me, and asked me if I liked it very much. He drew it really beautifully, with silver hooks and stars, 28 constellations, and Ziweiyuan in the sky. Xinghai."

Xu Fu looked at Yu Zishi, "I like it very much."

Yes, he likes it very much, he likes all of this, whether it is the vast ocean or the vast stars, he really likes everything that he was obsessed with when he was young.

He wants to take these eyes, step on the vast sea, travel thousands of miles east, and see the true appearance of this world, the complete appearance, where there are his childhood dreams, and there are also things that he has forgotten. , Disdainful, but deeply crazy about the distant place.

That was also the cowardly man, the distant place that was deeply obsessed by the man he called his father.

Yu Zishi nodded, wanted to say something, but felt that he couldn't get in.

But Xu Fu said it happily. He said one by one the things that he had thought about secretly all these years. He really felt happy. After many years, the gentle smiling face of that cowardly man finally appeared in his mind .All this made him want to cry a lot, to make up for the handful of tears he owed him when the man died.

He couldn't cry after all.

Yes, that was all many years ago.

Xu Fu looked at Yu Zishi and took a deep breath. Anyway, today he was holding on to the determination to break the net, and planned to explain everything to this person.Then make it clear, spread it all out and make it clear!

"Zhao Gao, I'm not the kind of person with big ambitions, and I can't care less about the common people in the world. I, Xu Fu, are vulgar. I'm really vulgar. I don't even have the face to admit it." Xu Fu said to Yu Zishi sincerely, "I am not interested in the so-called helping the world at all. To be honest, what does it matter to me whether people live or die in the world? What does it matter to me to fight in troubled times. I don't want to go to the battlefield to kill or be killed. It doesn't matter to the king. The mind of loyalty, which country is safe and stable, where do I go, and whoever gives me food so that I can survive, I will kneel down and call you Your Majesty, I, Xu Fu, am such a person, I wanted glory and wealth in my previous life, and now The level of consciousness is not high enough.”

Xu Fu felt that what he said seemed to be quite smooth, and it seemed that admitting that he was in love was not as difficult as he imagined. Seeing that Yu Zishi didn't respond, he simply became more courageous, "The matter between you and Li Sifeng who robbed those people, those court officials I don't understand and really don't want to understand the disputes in the church. You asked me to fool Your Majesty before, and I did as you said. Now I don't want to continue with you, and you don't want to fool me with any other people in the world, and' Gou benefits the life and death of the country, how can we avoid it because of misfortune and good fortune', you keep these words to fool the next person, I am not high enough to understand, if you have to fool me, I will reply you, if you are poor, you will be alone, and if you are wise To benefit the world."

Yu Zishi nodded, he couldn't judge whether the context of Xu Fu's words was correct, a combination of Taoism and Yin-Yang School said Confucian words, it really made people panic, but it seems that Xu Fu is not a serious Yin-Yang School He regarded seeking immortality and medicine as a nautical career development, and astrology seems to be used as a compass. Xu Fu is really not very serious in everything he does.

Seeing that Yu Zishi didn't speak, Xu Fu was very worried that Mr. Zhao would stab himself in the back with his dark eyes and cruel heart.He gritted his teeth, reached out and pulled Yu Zishi's sleeve, "Let me go, and I'll tell you something."

Yu Zishi was slightly astonished, Xu Fu actually kept a secret from himself, so he asked: "What's the matter, let's listen to it first."

Seeing Yu Zishi's natural look, Xu Fu's face darkened, "You promise to let me go first."

Yu Zishi spread his hands and said, "It's fine if you don't say it, but I still want to persuade you a few words, Gou Li Country..."

"About Emperor Qin's Mausoleum!"

Yu Zishi looked at Xu Fu with some interest in his eyes.

Xu Fu gritted his teeth and said: "I need something to go to sea. I want to record everything I see and hear. This is a very cumbersome and important thing, but I can't do it alone. I need people, boats, etc. Ships, weapons, soldiers and food, if you help me, I will tell you."

Yu Zishi felt that Xu Fu was overreaching, and he had to trick Ying Zheng into giving Xu Fu food and grass?Hey, wake up!That is Ying Zheng, not Zhu Di, and your name is Xu Fu, not Zheng He.

"About immortality!" Xu Fu tugged Yu Zishi's sleeves tightly, looking desperate.

Yu Zishi suddenly narrowed his eyes, "What did you say?"

……

After sending Xu Fu away, Yu Zishi sat in the yard and fell into a short thought. After a long time, he nodded thoughtfully.

There was a creaking sound at the door, Yu Zishi looked up, Wang Ping was walking towards him with a letter in his hand.Yu Zishi's eyes suddenly lit up slightly.

"The letter from Northwest?" He took the letter and asked softly.

"En." Wang Ping nodded, watching Yu Zishi open the letter.

Yu Zishi glanced at the silk script, familiar fonts, familiar tone, such words as a letter, are still written with extremely trivial matters, from what he ate during the day to hearing the barbarian playing the flute at night, Everything was detailed, and every word was extremely plain, Yu Zishi could almost imagine Hu Hai's life in the past five years from these words, and imagined how he was walking slowly in the Northwest Army Camp while wearing black clothes and leading a horse.

He squeezed the letter without saying a word, and smiled slightly for a long time.

Wang Ping suddenly said: "My lord, I'll get you a pen and ink."

"Stand." Yu Zishi folded the silk book and glanced at Wang Ping.

Wang Ping's face collapsed in an instant, "My lord, you still haven't written a reply?" You have written only one reply in this year, and there are only six words: "Everything is fine, don't read it", which is a small letter. The young master has a conscience, if it were someone else, you would offend him badly, my lord.

Yu Zishi glanced at Wang Ping's face, then shook his head, "I won't write this time."

Wang Ping couldn't help but shook his head and said, "My lord, you really have no conscience."

After hearing this sentence, Yu Zishi suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Wang Ping, "What did you say?"

Only then did Wang Ping realize what he had said, and he immediately waved his hand and said, "My lord, you have been tired all day, I'm going to make you something to eat, what do you want to eat?"

"No, you just said..."

"My lord! Do you still have some documents that you haven't read? I'll move them for you!" Wang Ping ran into the house.

Yu Zishi saw that kid Wang Ping disappearing in front of his eyes, and didn't know what to say for a moment.If I'm really heartless, can you still jump like this in front of my eyes?When you catch up with Mr. Ting Wei, the graves of subordinates like you who are half-handed and lose the chain at critical moments are at least two feet high.

Yu Zishi withdrew his gaze and looked down at the letter in his hand again. After a long time, he clenched his hand little by little.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally slightly hooked the corner of his mouth.

Wait a little longer, when Fusu starts assisting the government, the situation will probably really stabilize.

Wait a minute, five years have passed, not so short.
