Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 642 Don't be a cold bird

After talking about the impenetrable grandeur, Gao Wushi and Huang Zhiting talked about Ali again.Gao Wushi asked Huang Zhiting and Ah Li what was going on with the relationship, and why Ah Li didn't seem to know her true identity even though they looked like old acquaintances.

Huang Zhiting giggled, "I knew you would ask about this." But she refused to say it right away, and walked forward slowly.

There is a small river not far ahead, and the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkles on the river surface, with little waves of light.The woods on both sides of the river were also covered with a touch of golden red, and they looked extraordinarily charming under the sky that was turning from blue to black.

Huang Zhiting walked in front, Gao Wushi followed behind, after walking for a while, Huang Zhiting suddenly said quietly: "Do you think that living in the mountains is actually not bad, there are not so many intrigues, there are not so many scrambles, everyone You don’t need to think about so many complicated people and things, as long as you live peacefully, that’s the best.”

It's a pity that she asked the wrong person, and Gao Pragmatic's answer was devoid of Zen: "Is living just to wait for death?"

Huang Zhiting was startled, turned around, and said displeasedly: "What do you mean just waiting to die?"

"Fish die in the water, but forget each other; birds fly in the wind, but don't know the wind." Gao Pragmatic's light tone, with a kind of pity: "Do you think these Yao people in the mountains live a simple and comfortable life? No, they just dare not contact the outside world, afraid of being ridiculed, bullied, or hurt, so they keep hiding in the mountains and never dare to face the world head-on.”

Huang Zhiting stared blankly at Gao Yushi. She didn't like Gao Yushi's words, and even repelled them a little, but she was more afraid. She intuitively felt that Gao Yushi's words made sense, but she didn't understand the reasoning.

She found that she didn't understand him at all, which made her nervous, she didn't know where it came from, and she didn't know why.

Huang Zhiting knew that her reasoning must not be high-level and pragmatic, so she could only ask: "Could it be their fault that they were suppressed by the imperial courts of all dynasties and fled all the way to the mountains?"

"A moth flies into a flame, a fire scorches a moth, so misfortune comes without a source; if a fruit grows a flower, and the flower bears fruit, one must know that there is a reason for the blessing." Gao Yushi still has the expression of a worldly expert, detached with pity: " Although the world is big, there is a limit; although the land is rich, there is a time. Every nation wants to live better, but the world is limited. If you live better, there will be more tribesmen, and they also want to live better. Live well, do you want to help?

If there is no gang, it can only expand, and can only rob the land that originally belonged to others.So where do others go?Would you worry about them instead of snatching them?Just like we cook sheep and slaughter cattle, just to eat more and eat better, but what are the cattle and sheep?Would you worry about your cattle and sheep and not eat them? "

Huang Zhiting opened her mouth in shock, but couldn't speak.

Gao Wushi continued: "Perhaps you want to say that they are not cattle and sheep, they are also living people, right?"

Huang Zhiting nodded vigorously.

Gao Wushi sighed, and said, "Now think about it again, why do Han people often call other people barbarians?"

Huang Zhiting was startled, and suddenly felt chills in her heart: "You mean... if you don't take it seriously, you deserve it?"

Gao Wushi didn't answer, but said: "People in the world are looking for a way to live, but there are many ways to live. Living well is living, and living is living. However, only those who are constantly pursuing a good life, striving to be the best, and striving to become stronger, can be successful. The ability to live on forever, and the longer you live, the better; if you resign yourself to fate and muddle along, you will only be bullied and oppressed, or even killed.

I often think, why did I come to this big... this world.Thinking about it later, it was just to let me, a descendant of Huaxia, not be that cold bird. "

"Horror Bird? What is that?" Huang Zhiting obviously had never heard of this story.

"Oh, that's a story written by a man named Tao Zongyi during the founding of our dynasty."

Gao Yushi said: "He said in the story: There is a bird in Wutai Mountain, called Hanhao Chong, four-legged, flesh-winged, and unable to fly. Its dung is 'Wulingzhi'. When the heat is hot, the feathers are brilliant, and they sing by themselves. Said: "The phoenix is ​​not as good as me!" Compared with the severe cold in the deep winter, the feathers fell off, like a chick, and then said to itself: "Let's get by." You think, the severe cold in the deep winter cannot be resisted by human beings. If it comes, it will come. If it is like cold Hornbirds generally don’t make preparations, and when winter comes, it’s time to die... This is the end of muddling along.”

"Oh, I understand." Huang Zhiting nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly a look of admiration appeared in her eyes: "I never imagined that reading can understand so many principles, you, can you teach me to read in the future?"

Gao Wushi was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's better to explain the scriptures if you have accumulated a lot of money. It's true that Miss Huang wants to study, but... I don't know how long I can stay in Guangxi. Not necessarily teaching much."

Huang Zhiting's expression changed, and she said anxiously, "You want to leave?"

Gao Wushi was really surprised: Do you really want to keep me in Siming Mansion as a teacher?That's not okay.

But refusing this kind of thing is too straightforward and easy to do bad things, especially if the other party has a good attitude towards him now, but if he turns his face, it will be very bad. This is the home of the local emperor, what can't be done in a hurry?

He smiled immediately and said: "I am a scholar, so I naturally want to be on the Dragon and Tiger List for the first time, and go to the Phoenix Pond in ten years... I have to take an exam to fulfill my long-cherished wish."

Huang Zhiting was slightly relieved, and said: "Oh, you want to participate in the tribute examination, this is easy to handle, when I return to Siming Mansion, I will ask my father, there may be one or two candidates in our mansion."

When Gao Wushi heard that it was not the way, he didn't dare to gossip anymore, and hurriedly asked: "Don't worry about this matter, I mentioned Miss Ali and you..."

"Hmph, I've only met once and I can't forget it."

Gao Wushi said with a bitter face: "That can't be helped, I'm afraid!"

Huang Zhiting chuckled, turned her beautiful eyes, and said: "Well, seeing how pitiful you are, I will show you some mercy and tell you."

She said: "Eight years ago, I went to Guilin with my father. I passed by not far from the south of Bazhai. At that time, there was a Han member who passed by a small town there and lived in an inn. The next day, his abdomen was distended. Bewitched by a Gu, he sent his servants to search around and found a pair of Yao mother and daughter.

The mother and daughter had originally just come down Bazhai Mountain to sell some local products, and were about to return to the village, but because they were the only two Yao people in the town at that time, they were regarded as the ones who planted Gu on that member.The woman was lynched and tortured by the subordinates who were not members of the staff, and she was dying, and the daughter was also tortured to death.

At that time, I took my servants out to go shopping and encountered this incident. I was so angry that I ordered that Yuanwai and his servants be arrested, beat them up, and asked someone to hire a doctor to treat the mother and daughter. , and finally sent someone to send them back to the village.At that time, the mother and daughter were very grateful and asked my name. I was afraid of causing trouble to my father, so I didn't dare to say everything, I just said that I was the eldest daughter of the chieftain of the Huang family... You must have guessed it, the mother and daughter are A Li sister and her mother. "

"So that's what happened." Gao Wushi nodded, but he didn't understand, since Huang Zhiting was kind to Ah Li, why did the two of them meet today to discuss friendship?

Huang Zhiting seemed to have guessed the doubts in Gao Yushi's heart, and explained: "Do you think it's strange because Sister Ah Li's attitude towards me today is not too affectionate?"

Gao Wushi had no choice but to admit, Huang Zhiting sighed, and said: "You don't understand, Sister Ali used to be a very kind and enthusiastic person. She was originally trained as a Yao doctor in the village, but after she was selected as the successor by the grass ghost grandma, She must refine the Taishangxin Gu. I don't know what the use of this Gu is, but I know that after refining this Gu, she will become a ruthless person. Judging from today's situation... She should have already refined it .”

Although Gao Yushi was shocked by Ah Li's voodoo skills today, Gao Yushi still couldn't believe it if he said that a certain voodoo would become "too high and forgetful" after being refined.

He guessed in his heart that this so-called too-shangxin Gu may only be able to affect people's mental state, maybe its function is to allow people who have refined this Gu to calm their minds and settle down at any time.In terms of what he said in his previous life, it is to make people's mood swings completely controllable, and there will be no big fluctuations.

If a person can remain absolutely calm under any circumstances, that is of course very powerful, worthy of the title of "Taishangxin Gu", but most people can't see this Gu "showing power", so Huang Zhiting said that she didn't know What is the use of this Gu.

This is like everyone in the future knows the power of the atomic bomb, because the atomic bomb is powerful, but few people care about the replacement of the most advanced command system in the information age-in fact, it may be more valuable than the atomic bomb.

Of course, the art of Gu is really not the director of Gao Yushi, so he can only guess like this, and he can't guarantee whether it is true or not.But in any case, Huang Zhiting's statement at least clearly explained Ali's attitude today, which is a kind of indifference that does not have too many ups and downs for anyone.

Speaking of narcissism, Gao Yushi even felt that she was a little special to him, perhaps because she had never found anyone with "magnificence" in the past, so she was somewhat curious?
But it doesn't matter anymore. Gao Wushi is more afraid of this girl who can kill people at any time than any other emotions. He just wanted to know the past between her and Huang Zhiting, and he also hoped that he would not be ignorant. Inexplicably offending such a person, that would be very bad.

At least, while I am in Guangxi, this kind of situation is best not to happen.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. After all, saving one's life is a human instinct, and it is not shameful if it does not involve "the place of righteousness".

Huang Zhiting saw that Gao Wushi's expression gradually calmed down, and she couldn't help but smile: "You don't have to think too much, since Sister Ali promised to help you, she will definitely help. She is the descendant of the grass ghost grandma, so it doesn't count if she can't speak."

"When you say that, I thought of asking." Gao Wushi showed curiosity on his face, "Who is the Grass Ghost Grandmother? This name really sounds...not very elegant."
