Chapter 18: A Father's Love Is Like a Mountain
After instructing Peng Yu on the use of the hidden sword in his left hand, seeing that the time was not early, and the moon was about to go down, Dai Zi carried Peng Zhou back to the hut to rest.
In order to prevent being discovered, they are mostly hidden during the day. Sleep late at night, and wake up late in the morning. After breakfast, I instinctively went to the mountain pass to see if anyone had sneaked up the mountain.
Because I have lived in the mountains for a long time and am familiar with the terrain, it is conceivable where others will come from.
In order to live in seclusion here, Dai Zi put a lot of thought into it. He set up "barricades" in every easy place to get up, not man-made barricades, of course, but natural barricades.
For example! Isn't it easy to come up somewhere? He would plant thorns in the area, thorny plants or plants that could easily scratch his skin. Such! Even if it's a flat avenue, others will take a detour.
In fact! As long as you put your mind to it, you can set up countless natural barricades.
When others see that they can't go up, they won't go up.
Only the Orions, they dare to go anywhere. But! If you set up hunting tools all year round in your secluded territory, no one else will come up.
The same is true: if you lay a "net of heaven and earth" at various intersections that are easy to come up, all kinds of hunting tools, and over time others will not come up.
Where do you live in seclusion, and what do you live on? Other words! What do you eat?
The seclusion of ancient people is different from the seclusion of rich people in modern society, they have to farm, hunt or engage in some occupation to support themselves.
Modern rich people say that they go to Zhongnan Mountain to live in seclusion, driving a big business car or a big off-road vehicle, but in fact, they are not going to seclusion, but to pretend to be compared. There are also people who actually do not go to seclusion, but go to the countryside to develop under the sign of seclusion.
But! In ancient times, there were also wealthy people who went to the mountains to live in seclusion. They have money themselves, so they don't need to work. Eat, drink, and enjoy freedom.
And in troubled times, most of the people who live in seclusion have no source of income. They can only solve the problems of life through labor. Moreover! You also have to hide from people from the outside world so as not to be discovered.
In troubled times, those in power do not allow others to live in seclusion. Because! Population is the productive forces and comprehensive national strength. are all in seclusion, who will create the value of labor. No one works in vain, and who will feed the powerful?
Back in the hut, Dai Zi brought hot water, first washed Peng Zhou's face and wiped his body, and then arranged for Peng Zhou to sleep. After arranging Peng Zhou, he washed his face, bathed, and then went to sleep.
There is no way! It is inevitable that you will sweat after practicing and have to take a shower.
Dai Zi lived in seclusion here, and his source of life was also hunting. He lived here very close to the top of the mountain, surrounded by mountains, and a little distance from the hut where he could place his hunting tools.
Let alone! In order to prevent others from touching the mountain, he had to place hunting tools at various key points.
These hunting tools are placed in these places almost all year round. It not only prevents Orion and irrelevant people from coming up, but also his source of livelihood and income.
"Daddy!" Whenever Daizi washed his face and bathed him, Peng Zhou was very grateful and would scream.
Dai Zi ignored him as if he hadn't heard. Only very few times will he be trained: "Grow up!" You have to learn to wash your face and take a bath, you have to learn to take care of yourself in life, and don't expect others! You know what? ”
"Hmm!" Peng Zhou will agree.
I thought: I can't help it, I'm too young, otherwise I wouldn't want you to bathe me!
"When you were young, your father and mother washed your face, bathed, and wiped your buttocks, and when your father and mother were old, you also had to wash your face, bathe, and wipe your buttocks! You know what? ”
"Hmmm! Remember, child! Father! ”
"Of course! Not usually! It's because your parents are old and can't move, so you wash their faces, bathe, and wipe their butts! What do you mean by an old child? This is the old child. I can't move when I'm old, it's no different from a baby, and I need my children and grandchildren to take care of it! ”
"Hmm!" Peng Zhou looked sensible and responded.
I thought: This is me too! What do children know? They thought it was right for their parents to wash their faces, bathe, and wipe their buttocks. And when their parents and elders are old and need to be taken care of, they will only feel that their parents and elders are a burden, and wish they died early!
"Not only do you have to take care of your parents, but you also have to take care of your elders! You know what? ”
"Hmm!"
"Not only do you have to take care of your parents, but you also have to take care of the people around you! You know what? This is the essence of being a human being! We take care of others, and others may take care of us! Such! If we all work together and live in harmony, we will be able to live well. If you only care about yourself, you will seem lonely. When you are in trouble, others will not help you if they know that you are a bad person! Doll! Go to sleep! My baby is so sensible! Daddy didn't love you in vain! Alas! ”
Thinking about Peng Zhou and Peng Yu's pitiful life experience, and then thinking about this troubled world, Dai Zi couldn't help sighing.
He is a responsible person, a good son, and a good father, but in this troubled world, life is difficult. Because of the war! It was impossible for him to live that peaceful and happy life. When he lost his family and everything, he chose to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests.
Later, under the guidance of Zhuangzi and Song Rongzi, I had an epiphany about life.
In the past, Dai Zi did not have this ideological awareness.
After washing, Dai Zi fell asleep next to Peng Zhou. Peng Zhou slept inside the wooden bed, and he slept outside, afraid that Peng Zhou would fall off the bed.
Peng Yu slept in another room, not in the same room. Under normal circumstances, Peng Yu sleeps late and wakes up early. Because he has to practice martial arts hard and is bent on revenge.
The next morning, Daiko got up again habitually. He was going to inspect the hunting tools he had planted and harvest the day's prey.
Every day, the small prey is left to eat. The big prey, the excess prey will be sold in the market. Because he sells it cheaply, he doesn't need to set up a stall in the bazaar. Inns, restaurants, wine shops, inns and other places are willing to ask.
Dai Zi went to the market to sell his prey, and it was time to run back and forth.
Because it hunts here all year round, so! Not every day there is prey. Even if you do, you need to eat it most of the time. So! Dai Zi doesn't go to the streets every day.
Furthermore! Those who live in seclusion should not always run to the bazaar, lest they cause trouble.
When he was about to go out, Dai Zi suddenly remembered: I didn't seem to hear the sound of Peng Yu coming back to sleep last night, and I didn't seem to hear the sound of Peng Yu getting up to practice this morning?
Come to think of it! He suddenly had a bad premonition: Peng Yu might go down the mountain to take revenge.
Come to think of it! Dai Zi quickly turned around and went to Peng Yu's room, and as a result! I really didn't find Peng Yu. He hurriedly came out of the room and went to the place where Peng Yu usually practiced. Outcome! I didn't find Peng Yu's shadow.
"Peng Yu! Peng Yu! Where are you? Come out! Come out! ……”
