Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 374. 373. Horse, horse, run faster
After 20 days of contact, whether it is Li Zhen or Du Ruhui, they already understand what kind of person the other party is.

In Li Zhen's eyes, Du Ruhui deserves to be a person who can be famous through the ages.

Although he was born in Legalism, this person is not pedantic, on the contrary, he has an extremely enlightened attitude towards worldly affairs.

Li Zhen once asked him why he likes to read county chronicles.

The answer I got was "the law is not perfect. Looking at the county annals, I can see the changes of a county, and everything is in detail, which proves the law in my heart."

At the same time, the opponent's "logic" should be the best in the world, and he has a cognition far beyond his own in judging the facts.

One thing, which is more important.

A section of road, who is far and who is near.

With this talent, he was able to run through the 11 counties of Hongnong in [-] days, without any repetition, repetition, or detour... This is evident from this.

And Du Ruhui's evaluation of Taoist Priest Shouchu is also very high.

In his heart, if there is really a theory of immortality, then Taoist Priest Shouchu should be at the top of the group of immortals.

Not for other reasons.

It has nothing to do with cultivation or strength.

Just because the other party loves this world.

And that so-called "follow your heart" attitude.

At the beginning, when he heard the words "I cultivated according to my will", he felt displeased in his heart.

Because it sounds a little too presumptuous.

Not in line with the law.

However, when he heard the phrase "the law is only the bottom line of human morality", he immediately felt awakened by his words.

And after insinuating, he discovered... what Taoist Priest Shou Chu said about doing what he wanted was not the kind of selfishness that would go his own way.It's a kind... an open-mindedness that sees through all falsehoods and points directly at the essence.

Or... Angle.

Not in this world.

Not in the world.

Instead, from the perspective of...a person who has fully understood and understood many things in the world.

For example, after the two ran Hongnong this time, Hongnong spread the so-called "immortal apparition" all over the place, but the Taoist priest never said anything about himself from the beginning to the end.

One person asked, two people asked, three people asked... No matter how many people asked, how many people wanted to set up a shrine for the Taoist priest, but he was still unmoved.

Leave as soon as you finish plowing, and don't say anything superfluous.

But this is obviously something that can be famous through the ages!Even Du Ruhui couldn't help being a little ecstatic when he saw the hope in the eyes of those old women.

But Taoist Priest Shouchu never said anything.

And when it comes to why, the Taoist priest only expressed one meaning:
"I can help them only once. I don't leave a name. I hope they just treat it as an accident. If there are any natural or man-made disasters in the future, instead of worshiping and praying to those clay sculptures, it's better to take that Save the energy of kowtowing, and live hard.”

Look at the statue as a clay sculpture.

The living temple is like a tile kiln.

What you cultivate is following your mind, and what you cultivate is your own mind.

But in this heart, why is there no vision of the world?
Along the way, the Daoist didn't talk about imperial power, wealth, or even the gods and Buddhas... It can be seen that he only has awe but no yearning...

Just one person.

A truly benevolent outsider, at this moment, is also silent...

Then he understood... the Taoist priest is extremely smart, he doesn't know why he spoke.

But in the same way, after knowing it, the Taoist priest remained silent.

The meaning behind it is...

It has completely dimmed his eyes.

He knows he is not stupid.

I also know that Daochang is a smart man.

However, he really couldn't think of any way to solve the urgent situation in the east of the river.

This has nothing to do with the outcome of the war.

Whether you win or lose, it is the people of the world who suffer.

Yes, he can go home and ask his relatives and elders to bring some food.

However, compared to the people of a county... how insignificant is a Du family?
Besides...even if food can be obtained, how long will it be enough for them to last?
It's just a fool's dream.

"..."

"..."

A moment of silence.

Du Ruhui said dryly:

"Master, let's go."

"……Um."

Let the horse gallop.

After turning to a village.

For a moment, under the leadership of Li Zheng, whether it is the god who started to "appear" or the judge beside the god, in the overturned field row, facing the land that will bring people endless joy of autumn harvest in a few months , There is no longer any look of hope.

……

Seven days later.

Shangluo County.

"Hey, have you heard? The gods have appeared in Fengyang."

"No, it is said that when many people wake up, their fertile fields have been plowed, and the furrows are as neat as if they were combed with a comb."

"Oh, I never imagined that I would live most of my life and still see a god appearing with my own eyes..."

"That's not true. It's because God has mercy on us. Seeing that all the men in our county are going to work in corvée, they specially sent gods to cultivate land for us."

"It's so good, at least I won't be hungry during the autumn harvest. It's really an eye-opener..."

"I heard that only Shangluo and Hongnong have gods appearing!"

"That's right, isn't my nephew in the county government office? I heard that the old man has drafted several memorials and submitted them to the government! It's a blessing for us to go to Luoyang for the gods to appear! We must be lucky this year!"

"Oh, we have good weather, but it's just that the people on the other side of the river suffer."

"... Tsk, don't mention it. Most of the beggars in the city these days have escaped? Poor man, there was an old woman who knelt at the door of my house yesterday and begged me for a meal. I watched She still had two dolls with her... she couldn't bear it, so she gave three hundred Wen to buy the two children."

"Brother Gao Yi! Admire, admire!"

"Alas... they are all from poor backgrounds. The river east has become like this, and the gods have manifested their spirits here again. Do some good deeds, let's not talk about good deeds, but please feel at ease."

"Speaking of which, what's the situation on the east side?"

"I asked the old woman, and she said that she was still fighting in Huozhou. When she left, it was said that the people who died on both sides piled up the outside of Huozhou City."

"Sigh~~~"

"Hey... I just hope that this fairy is a real fairy and can go to the east of the river to manifest his spirit."

"How did it manifest? Could it be possible to kill that bandit?"

"It's best to kill. But that bandit is amazing! It's said to be something... After Gao Shun, the soldiers under him are not easy to mess with!"

"Who is Gao Shun?"

"Three Kingdoms, the one under Lu Bu's men! Falling into the camp, you know? It is said that the bandit is the descendant of Gao Shun, he can train soldiers, and the 1000 troops under his command can do that... the ability to fall into the camp. 1 people against [-] horses, people Not false."

"Hey!! So amazing?"

"That's right... Sigh, I don't know how many people will be left in Hedong after this battle is over. Tsk tsk..."

"……Ugh."

Since ancient times, teahouses and restaurants have been places where intelligence gathers.

You don't need people to inquire, you only need to hear about it, and you can get a general idea of ​​the matter.

In this era when the follow-up of actual news is lagging behind, although the news these people said may have been a few days or more than ten days ago, it is still enough for those who are interested to hear enough information.

At least, this is the case for Du Ruhui and Li Zhen.

At this moment, the two people who were originally busy in the world have changed their attire.

Li Zhen bought a Taoist robe that didn't fit very well, and the clothes he brought out were really unwearable.Especially the crotch was worn out.

Du Ruhui was similar, except that he had more field survival experience than Li Zhen and brought a few more pairs of pants.

So now there are still replacements.

What's more... The material of his clothes cannot be bought in ordinary county towns.

A total of 29 days.

During the 29th, the news that the gods of Hongnong and Shangluo appeared and helped the old women who stayed at home to plow the land of spring had spread throughout the surrounding counties.

Everyone yearns for there to be, or to have auspiciousness come to the home again.

Everyone is discussing the true identities of these two gods who appeared.

Everyone is even guessing when our Majesty, who likes to make a big fuss, will send down a merit certificate so that some taxes can be exempted...

However, no one would have imagined that the two gods who caused all this were just sitting in the restaurant, each guarding a pot of wine, eating crazily, making up for the shortfall of these days.

After a meal, the ears are full of what happened in these days.

Li Zhen wiped his mouth, looked at Du Ruhui and said:
"Is it ready to eat?"

"Ah."

The scholar nodded, took out the money from his pocket and put it on the table, and the two walked out.

Get on the horse and go out of the city all the way.

Shangluo borders Hongnong, but the two are on different roads.

Li Zhen wants to go back to Hongnong to find Xuan Suning.

And Du Ruhui...will go to Luoyang.

The Du family also has relatives who are officials in Luoyang.Although he really wanted to go to Hedong to have a look, compared with the outcome of the war, he wanted to know how the imperial court would appease the people of Hedong if the battle was won.

Although the rebels were from the Yi clan, but... that is a citizen of a county!
The two are destined to be separated.

Du Ruhui went to Luoyang and headed east.

Li Zhen is going to Yishui, heading north.

At this moment, the spring breeze is soft.

The period of one month is enough to make this vast land in the Central Plains re-exude the vigorous vitality that has bred a winter.

Among the farmland on both sides of the official road, some old women are still working in the neatly gathered fields.

"Master."

Du Ruhui took out a waist card from his bag and at the same time, held the waist card to Li Zhen with both hands.

"Okay, I'll come and look for you when I return to Beijing."

"Ah."

Li Zhen nodded with a smile, shrugged after putting away the badge:

"It's a pity, the poor Taoist has nothing to give you...but the poor Taoist family is here..."

"Chun You Club outside the Zhen Beast Pen, I will remember it."

"That's fine. And that letter... Although I don't know what effect it will have, I will try my best to find a way..."

"Hmm... the Taoist priest has been working hard, I wish the Taoist priest... a smooth journey!"

Following Li Zhen's strange rhetoric, the scholar on the horse looked solemn:
"Meeting you is a blessing in this life. When we meet again, I will definitely get drunk with you!"

He clasped his hands together.

Li Zhen pinches her fingers:

"Fusheng Wuliang Tianzun, may Layman Du have a safe trip and his wish will be fulfilled!"

"... When so!"

Du Ruhui nodded heavily, then stopped talking, saw the fork in the east, and whipped his horsewhip:

"drive!"

With the sound of horseshoes, Oolong Xiao turned into a black lightning.

In the ears, there are gusts of wind.

Du Ruhui, who was riding his horse, couldn't help turning his head.

Then he saw the figure on the horse standing still on the spot without moving.

"Daoist!!"

He shouted:
"Take care of yourself!!!"

After speaking, regardless of whether the other party can hear it or not, continue to drive the horses to gallop away.

And this road, the sights that come into view are all the neat fields, the farmers sowing the seeds, and the... because the sowing was early, the beauty of the emerald green seedlings has even been revealed.

The mountains and rivers are picturesque.

Beautiful.

Du Ruhui, who was originally full of dignity, couldn't help showing a smile as he was riding on the horse.

An unprecedented sense of accomplishment filled my heart.

Especially looking at those children running and jumping in the fields...

The infants and seedlings are linked together by the earth, and the exuberant vitality displayed seems to represent the purest vitality in this world.

He was completely intoxicated in it, unable to extricate himself.

"Guanzi" said: If you have enough food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace.

If there is enough food and clothing, there will be no encroachment, no resentment and anger, no need for weapons, so do righteousness according to the body, be thrifty and respectful.

Isn't the current scene exactly what the sages expected?

An incomparable sense of glory arises spontaneously...but it suddenly stops abruptly.

He... seemed to have thought of something, and the relaxation in his eyes was no longer there.

The oolong Zou in his crotch has become his most trusted partner these days.

then……

"drive!!"

The horse suffers from pain, and the speed is three points faster!

Don't blame me, buddy.

I just hope you can be faster, and faster.

Because, under the grand scenery, there is still filth!

Hadong...

Hadong...

Although I don't know what I can do, I still do it.

Because if you don't do it, the etiquette is not in line with the law in your heart!

Horse horse, run faster.

Don't stop traveling thousands of miles a day!
