Half blood

"What are you talking about?" Li Xuan snarled and interrupted his words, "Whether your life is worth or not is not up to you, yes, yes, anyway, it's not up to you."

"I have something growing here." Li Xiuqi suddenly pointed to his head with his finger, "This is a disease brought from the mother's womb, and it cannot be cured."

Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, but he couldn't understand the meaning of these words for a moment. He looked at Li Xiuqi blankly, and asked after a long while: "You, what do you mean..."

Li Xiuqi opened his mouth slowly, and replied: "I have something growing here. I usually don't feel it. When it happens, I will have a splitting headache and may die. I don't know when this disease will show up, so Your Highness don't need to feel sorry for me. What, my life is really worthless."

After hearing this, Li Xuan was stunned for a while, and asked, "This disease...can you die?"

Li Xiuqi smiled lightly and said, "People are always going to die."

Li Xuan lowered his head and unfolded the wrinkled blueprint. His eyes were fixed on the crooked lines on the blueprint, but he couldn't see anything. Know where to go.Li Xiuqi stood quietly behind him, the cold weather left no shadow at his feet, he stood there like a ghost, the raindrops fell on the blueprint in Li Xuan's hand, the rain was too heavy , so big that he couldn't see anything.He wiped the water from his face and said in a low voice, "Anyway, I won't go back."

The road became muddy due to the rain, and the dark light made it difficult for them to see the road under their feet. The mountain road was rugged and they would fall if they were not careful. The two of them could only find a farmhouse to rest and return to the camp tomorrow. .

There is a thatched house by the river. There is no light inside, and the door is ajar, as if someone is there.Li Xuan knocked on the door lightly and called out, "Is anyone there?"

There was a hoarse cough in the room, the door was pushed open, and an old man with a white beard came out and said, "Hey, isn't this little brother?"

Li Xuan saw that this was the old man he met at the tea shop today, and said: "Old man, it is raining a lot outside tonight, if it is convenient for you, can you let us stay for a night?" ?”

The old man looked up at the sky and said, "Come in, it's raining heavily outside!" The two entered the house, and the old man smiled and said, "You told Xiao Wu to drink tea, but you didn't come for a long time, so I told you Drink it for you!"

Li Xuan also smiled when he heard this, and said: "I was delayed by something today, I will treat you to another drink." The old man was even more delighted when he heard that, and said: "Then I want my little brother to treat me to a drink."

Li Xuan looked around and saw that the room was very simple. There was only a small Eight Immortals table, a couch covered with straw mats, and the few chairs they were sitting on, nothing else, so Li Xuan asked Said: "Is there anyone else in the old man's house?"

The old man shook his head, his sunken eyes formed two deep black holes under the candlelight, he replied in a hoarse voice: "I'm the only one, I've been the only one for a long time..." The beating candle was lifted up, and he said: "Come on, I'll take you to the next room. Tell me, this person is always sleepy when he gets old, unlike you young people who are energetic."

There was a smell of damp in the other room, probably because it hadn’t been lived in for a long time. The small candle light illuminated the whole room. After the old man left the candle behind, he closed the door and returned to the original room. .

Li Xuan rolled out the straw mat on the bed, only to find that the roof of the bed had a hole the size of a fist, and the rain kept pouring into the room, drenching the bed.Li Xuan had to sit back to back with Li Xiuqi on the floor, and he whispered, "It's actually not bad, at least there is a place to shelter from the rain."

Li Xiuqi didn't answer, the whole room was just so silent.After a while, Li Xuan couldn't bear it anymore. He asked, "You... have you seen a famous doctor? There are many doctors in the palace with unique skills. Maybe you can cure your illness if you let them see you. gone."

Li Xiuqi opened his mouth slowly and said: "I remember when I was very young, I lived with a Taoist priest in a deep mountain. The Taoist priest was a close friend of my mother. No one can do it. He is really a strange person. He is proficient in the art of Huang Qi, and he has a fairy fate to know the past and the present. Whether it is Zhouyi or Qimen Dunjia, he is proficient. I have been following him for more than ten years. Just returned to the capital."

"No wonder I never saw you in the palace before that day..." Li Xuan said.

Li Xiuqi replied: "Yes, such a god-man can't help my illness. I have been on the mountain for more than ten years, read all his books, and received his advice. Speaking of which, he is my The real master, I respect him and respect him."

"At first I didn't think there was anything wrong with me, and I didn't understand why my parents sent me away. I was full of doubts and resentment. From the beginning, I pestered the Taoist priest every day, asking him when my parents He will come to pick me up. The Taoist priest has a weird personality and always likes to say strange things. Every time I ask this question, he says, "If you cry again, they won't come to pick you up. They won't come forever." So Once I was scared, I never dared to cry or ask any more questions. Later, when I grew up, I took these things lightly, and felt that it didn’t matter whether my parents came to pick me up or not. , The sky is high and the sea is vast in this world, why bother to care about these secular worlds? I stopped crying and read with peace of mind. I just read and took medicine every day. After more than ten years, the Taoist suddenly told me one day that I should go back. I agreed to go back in the carriage sent by the capital. Before leaving, he told me that I don't need to worry about this disease, and just treat it as nothing. Anyway, life and death are up to fate, and wealth is in the sky. If the disease occurs If you die, you just want to have a clear conscience in this life."

Li Xuan listened quietly, feeling uncomfortable. He just thought of such a half-old child, so he left home for medical treatment. He hadn't seen his parents for decades. How pitiful he was. He didn't know how to comfort him for a while, so he couldn't Mu Chi said: "Your master is right, you just pretend that this disease doesn't exist, maybe in the end, you will live longer than anyone else. So don't say that your life is worthless in the future. At least, at least in the hearts of many people, your life is more valuable than anything else..." Li Xuan doesn't know who among these many people, he doesn't know if Li Xiuqi's parents who are so cruel like Li Xiuqi are like him, but he knows his heart have.

After Li Xuan finished speaking, he lowered his head, took out the blueprint from his pocket, and pretended to review it.At this time Li Xiuqi suddenly said: "Is your highness determined to stay in the south and advance and retreat with the people in the south?" Li Xuan responded, "I have made up my mind a long time ago, so don't do anything to drive me back. ghost idea."

"it is good"

It was already late at night, Li Xuan leaned his back against Li Xiuqi, looked at the round moon outside the big hole, and suddenly remembered that he was sitting quietly with Li Xiuqi in the trap in the back mountain outside the palace that night. At that time, his heart was uneasy, and he didn't know why he was throbbing, but now he seemed to understand.He took a deep breath carefully, and felt that he could smell a faint scent of soap from Li Xiuqi's body. This scent of soap seemed to come from childhood, which made him feel at ease.He let his back lean back and leaned on Li Xiuqi's body, then patted his forehead vigorously, and meditated in his heart: "Fate is called nature, willfulness is called Tao, and Taoism is taught. Tao also You can't leave it for a moment, but it's not the way. That's why a gentleman is cautious about what he doesn't see, and afraid of what he doesn't hear... hey..."

In the early morning of the second day, Li Xuan and Li Xiuqi helped the white-bearded old man fill up the big hole in the roof, said goodbye, and rushed back to the camp.

Halfway through, Li Xuan said: "Go this way first, I have something I want to show you." He said and brought Li Xiuqi to the place where we met yesterday.

Li Xuan took out the blueprint from his pocket, pointed to a highland in the middle of the river, and said: "If we pile up the pebbles in bamboo cages near the highland to form a certain height, then when the river water level is too high At that time, the flood will flow over the high ground and flow into the outer river, so that part of the water can be distributed."

Looking at the river, Li Xiuqi frowned slightly, and said: "This method is a method. Your Highness read it from the Shui Jing Zhu?"

Li Xuan nodded, and Li Xiuqi went on to say: "Actually, the whole book of Shui Jing Zhu consists of four words: 'adapt measures to local conditions'. It won't work here, the so-called full faith in books is worse than no books, His Highness still needs to discuss this matter."

Li Xuan said: "But these two rivers have a lot in common. They are both high in the east and low in the west, and there is a mountain across them. We can dig Xingchuan Mountain to divert water, divert the river water, and we can A large part of the flood was released, and the ten thousand hectares of fertile land along the river were preserved."

Li Xiuqi thought for a while, and said: "This project is huge, and I'm afraid we don't have enough time now, but we can give it a try." Hearing that Li Xiuqi agreed with his idea, Li Xuan raised his black eyebrows and said, "Then let's give it a try." try!"

Wei Zhong frowned upon hearing their proposal. He had seen many young people like this, because he was like this when he was young, thinking that he was so different, and the experience accumulated by his ancestors for hundreds of years could not be compared. He had a flash of inspiration.He sneered, and said: "Of course what is recorded in this book is successful. This method is all about luck. If luck is good and it is right, it will become a good story through the ages. But many of them fail, but you I don’t know, because those who fail are not qualified to be included in the book. You may think that I am pedantic. But I am here for the people in the south. This method of covering up with water and earth is an ancient method, and it is also the most reliable method. This When the time comes, you have to come down to earth and don't think about anything crooked."

At this time Li Xiuqi stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, let me have a few words with General Wei."

The author has something to say: "What did Li Xiuqi say?"

Qingzhi: "Uh, I don't know...【Embarrassment】"

ps: Student Li Xiuqi's illness is just a piece of shit from Qing Zhisa and a clue to his life experience, and he won't take it easy

The water situation in the south is very serious these days, and the place where I am is a disaster-stricken area.I live in the city and haven't been directly affected, but I learned from some friends on the Internet that the water situation this year is really serious. Many places have burst their embankments, and the water level has reached a record high.

I wrote this article in May. At that time, I never thought that there would be such a heavy rain this year. The content of the water control part has not been reviewed. .

I am very ashamed that I am not capable enough to express people's sense of powerlessness in the face of catastrophe. I can only confine myself to small love and small love, and the process is too idealistic. It is really very difficult to really prevent disasters.

This article lacks refinement and is just for your enjoyment, thank you.

Finally: I wish all my friends all the best. ^-^
