Han Shimou

The icy river water swept Wenshun in.Wen Shun was like an angry dragon rolling in Hanoi, screaming hissingly, so lonely and helpless.

The sun rose high, and it was dawn the next day.Wen Han woke up leisurely, and the two sisters, Xiangfei and Yufei, looked anxious and waited beside them.At this time, a courtier broke in suddenly, telling the queen that her condition was getting worse.Wen Han screamed like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and hurried to Fengxiang Palace.Concubine Xiang and Concubine Yu were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they hurried to go.When he was young, Wen Han came to Fengxiang Palace in a panic.Cai Yan was lying on the bed, his face was as pale as frost, and his hands kept moving, but at this moment, he called Wen Shun's name.Wen Han rushed to hold Cai Yan's hand, which was extremely cold.Wen Han was so anxious that he burst into tears and cried out.

"Come here!! Where is Shun'er!! Why hasn't he come back yet!!!?"

After hearing this, Hua Tuo bowed in a hurry and reported what happened last night.It turned out that when Hua Tuo was in a panic, he heard the screams of the courtiers and maidservants, and later heard that Wen Shun left Chang'an City overnight, so he guessed that Wen Shun must have overheard the shocking secret last night.Wen Han's complexion changed drastically, and he secretly groaned in his heart, fearing that his son would find it hard to accept and commit suicide.At this moment, Cai Yan called out urgently intermittently.

"Three...Lang...San...Lang...."

"Yan'er!! Saburo is here, Saburo is here!! You have a good rest, Saburo has not traveled all over the world with you, you must not leave Saburo!!"

Wen Han hissed and cried bitterly, and pressed Cai Yan's hand to his face, tears pouring down like a fountain, filled with grief.Cai Yan smiled slightly, like a flash in the pan, the beauty of that moment, said softly.

"San... Lang... has a husband... so, Yan'er... is enough... Shun... Er is still... young, Saburo, don't... treat him too harshly... and... don't... blame... Shun Son…"

"Okay! Okay! Gu promises Yan'er, everything is up to you, everything is up to you!!"

Wen Han hurriedly replied, Cai Yan listened, like a contented child, those beautiful eyes that flowed like star waves, seemed to be tired, slowly closed, with that faint smile on his face, as if telling the world , she was just tired and wanted to sleep well.

"Yaner!? Yaner!!!"

Wen Han trembled all over, hissed loudly, his trembling hand slightly touched Cai Yan's face, and then gently, gently approached her nose.In an instant, Wen Han lost his breath, his eyes darkened, and he passed out.

It was about half a year after the peace between the Western Tang Dynasty and the Great Wei Dynasty.Queen Cai Yan of the Western Tang Dynasty died of illness, and Wang Wenhan of the Western Tang Dynasty lost his beloved wife. He was very sad and had a serious illness.The whole country in the Western Tang Dynasty was panicked and panicked.Meanwhile, Wenshun, the son of the king of the Western Tang Dynasty, disappeared inexplicably without a trace.Wen Han was heartbroken and worried about his son, who became more and more ill. All the important officials of the Western Tang Dynasty rushed back to Chang'an to see him.The prime minister, Pang Tong, made a suggestion to teach Wenhan to declare to the whole country, and choose a day to bury the queen Cai Yan. Wenshun has always been filial and will return.Wen Han obeyed, so he reluctantly revised the decree and announced it to all parts of the country. On the fourth day of September, the queen Cai Yan was buried.

Let’s say Wen Shun was heartbroken when he heard the shocking secret that day, he was like a walking corpse in a remote village near Chang’an, wandering like a lonely ghost, like a madman, drinking and crying day and night, not to mention being unkempt, with disheveled hair, obviously A handsome young man turned into a complete lunatic.One day, Wen Shun passed out drunk, in a restaurant in a village called Wangchen Township.The owner of the restaurant is kind-hearted and has been in business for many years. Although Wen Shun is insane, he is dressed in luxurious clothes. He can tell that he is either rich or expensive. in this way.The shopkeeper kindly took Wenshun in, and he was not afraid that he would have no money to settle the bill. He also responded to Wenshun's requests and persuaded him many times.But Wenshun only knew how to cry bitterly, and he didn't want to tell others about the pain in his heart, so everyone in the village avoided it.Over time, I got used to this lunatic who came from nowhere.

"Hey! At present, the king of the Western Tang Dynasty is enlisting soldiers. Anyone who is not disabled or useless is going to join the army. This young man looks like someone who is not waiting for someone. With such a good age, why don't you join the army and make a name for yourself? This man is not in vain. body!"

The shopkeeper is over fifty years old, and the villagers call him Lao Niu.Seeing that Wenshun was still unconscious, Lao Niu was very sorry and couldn't help sighing.At this time, an old man who happened to be over forty years old came to buy wine. When he saw Wen Shun, he couldn't help frowning, and said to the old cow in a earnest manner.

"Old Niu, why do you still let this lunatic here? For many days, he has scared away many of your regular customers. If you don't drive him away, your restaurant will go bankrupt!"

"That's right. My two little boys have gone to join the army. The military pay is very high, and the little boys are also filial. They will ask someone to send some money back every year and festival. I also want to enjoy my life. This young man is here If there are no relatives and no reasons, what should I do if there is an emergency. Fortunately, the king of the Western Tang Dynasty ruled the country well, and the common people like me can live a good life. If it was decades ago, this young man might have been killed by a thief. The bandits robbed the money and threw the corpse into the wilderness!"

"Hey! Old Niu, you are kind-hearted, that's all! Now, this is the wine money!"

The old man took the drink and handed the money to the old cow.The old cow chuckled, and pocketed it in his pocket regardless of how much the wine cost.The old man chatted with the old cow for a while, then left singing a song, very leisurely.Lao Niu was at leisure, took two more bottles of wine and a pot of beef, and sat down in front of Wen Shun. He didn't know if Wen Shun had woken up, so he murmured to himself.

"I think back then, I was considered a hero. Unfortunately, in troubled times, I came from a humble background and had nowhere to turn, so I could only become a bandit. Hey, once this person makes a mistake, it's hard to turn back. I do evil everywhere, and my hands I don’t know how many small lives I have to bear. Later, the reputation became more and more popular, and there were more people. Even the government at that time had to give me three points. I occupy the mountain as the king, and within a hundred miles, no one knows my big buffalo! But the good times didn't last long. Later, my cottage competed with other mountains. I got carried away with pride and fell into the enemy's tricks. Almost all my brothers died.

I escaped with only seven or eight people. When I came here, my brothers were all dead.I was also seriously injured and was rescued by the old shopkeeper of this restaurant.The old shopkeeper knew that I was a bandit, but he didn't report it to the officials, nor did he kill me severely.But I prepared day and night, and even had evil thoughts, robbed his family, took money, and fled away.

But the old shopkeeper has saved my life, I really can't do anything, thinking that the old shopkeeper will kill me, so I will accept my fate.Since then, I have been doing odd jobs in this restaurant.Until the old shopkeeper died, he didn't expose me as a bandit, and even married his daughter to me.At the beginning, although the villagers disliked my unknown background, the old shopkeeper repeatedly protected me. The old folks also saw that the old shopkeeper married his daughter to me. They thought that I was definitely not a bad person, so they gradually accepted it.

This has been going on for many years, and I have committed a lot of sins, so I am satisfied if I can live a peaceful life like this.And I also understand a truth, the world is impermanent, many of these things are often involuntary, if you stick to it, it will not help.As long as you are willing to pull yourself together and do good deeds, people around you will help you and accept you.There is no hurdle that cannot be crossed, and often times, people cannot pass their own hurdles.

It's just like me, when I ran amok and did a lot of evil, the old shopkeeper was willing to accept me as a thief.And if I really had evil thoughts at that time and killed the old shopkeeper, I am afraid that I would have died a long time ago. How can I enjoy my old age in peace?Young man, I don't think you are a heinous person. If you abuse yourself like this, your family must be worried day and night.If you figure it out, there is wine and meat here, so you can have a good meal and then go home.If you still can't figure it out, I won't drive you away either. "

Lao Niu slowly talked about the past. After he finished speaking, he didn't know how little Wenshun listened to, or he didn't listen to a word at all. He got up slowly, and went to the side to start tidying up again.At this time, suddenly there was a noise in the distance, and there were figures of people. When the old cow saw it, he hurried to ask.The old man who bought the wine just now said anxiously.

"It's not good! I heard that the queen died of illness, and the king of Xitang was deeply saddened. He suffered a serious illness. Now the whole country is in chaos, and important officials from all over the country have just returned. In order to let the queen's spirit get peace early, the king of Xitang announced the pain to the whole country, in early September. Four burials. I will wait for the benevolence of the king and queen of the Western Tang Dynasty, so we will discuss it together and rush to Chang'an to pay homage together!!"

"Ah! There is such a big event, you have to wait for Lao Niu. Now Lao Niu packs up and rushes with you. Young man!"

Lao Niu's face became anxious, and he was about to hand over the restaurant to Wen Shun temporarily, and rushed away with the villagers.Unexpectedly, there was half a figure on the table.All that was left was a few ingots of white silver, but the two bottles of good wine and the beef on the table were gone.And the old man who bought the wine looked at those ingots of silver with a strange look on his face, he wondered how divine that lunatic was, the silver was enough to buy Lao Niu's entire restaurant.

On the second day of September, it rained heavily.Inside the city of Chang'an, there was a sense of sadness. The people on the streets were all dressed in white coats, and outside the city of Chang'an, there were countless people who came to worship.In the merit hall, Wen Shun changed his clothes and knelt down on the ground.Wen Han sat on the throne, all the courtiers were dismissed by Wen Han, leaving only father and son in the hall.I don't know how long it was silent, Wen Han said slowly.

"Nizi, do you know that your queen was still talking about your name before she died!"

Wen Shun's body trembled, he suppressed his tears, and replied with a sob.

"The child is unfilial, willing to be punished!"

When Wen Han heard the words, he let out a long sigh. For some reason, he suddenly found that it seemed difficult for him and Wen Shun to be the same as before.Wen Han didn't respond, and Wen Shun kept kneeling.Wen Han thought of Cai Yan's last words, his heart twitched, and he said silently.

"Your queen's dying instructions and orphans are not to be blamed on you. Get up."

Wen Shun trembled again when he heard the words, but did not respond.Wen Han shouted repeatedly, and Wen Shun just came back to his senses and got up slowly.
