Inside the bilge, the air is stuffy,

The smell of varnish, the aroma of freshly planed wood and the smell of water mix together to form a special fermentation-like taste.

Ah Yao hasn't moved since he was thrown in, and at the moment he is lying on his side on a narrow small bed, like a doll that has been placed there at random.

There was no light in the cabin, she looked at the darkness, there was an illusion of floating above the night sky, as if her gaze could penetrate infinitely, and as if she could not see anything, but she quickly got out of this illusion, because there was a kind of pain spreading, as if she had a hoe under her body when she was sleeping, she knew that it was not a hoe, but her right arm, which was dull and numb at the moment, but as if it was really lignified, and the left arm, which was hanging down and half-hanging outside the bed, tore some gaps in the shoulder joint, and the inside was slightly, Continued pain, it seems that the tendons at the junction have been stretched and thinned, and they want to break and connect, if they are about to leave, the same is true of the junction between the thigh and the hip joint.

Every slight shaking of the hull will drive the body, making the pain in these places rise and fall, like microwaves, forming a kind of strange punishment that is neither too strong but also very unbearable.

However, this shaking brings a familiar feeling,

Yes, like the carriage that goes to Hengshan,

It's been a year,

At that time, Chun Tao was holding the whip in front, and Brother Chang was sitting cross-legged opposite him with the eldest lady in his arms, and the scene of the carriage swaying slightly in the march was like this.

Compared with the autumn in the south, the autumn plains in the north are more crisp and cold, and the autumn colors at that time are warm in the memories.

Why is there always such a process in life, not long or short, maybe just an extremely ordinary moment, but it can stay in my heart for a long time, not devastated by the years,

It's been a year, a year has passed out of thin air, and his memory seems to be still stuck in Hengshan, as if he is still with the eldest brother and the eldest lady, and he has not taken a step forward with the years.

Isn't the endless darkness in front of you just like the night on the top of the mountain that day...... Or the current self, that is, in Hengshan never left, look, snow, snowflakes are falling,,

Her mind was empty, and she suddenly felt that the snow had a real feeling, and when she came back to her senses, it turned out that it was not snow, but floating dust illuminated by a few rays of light.

How can there be light,

The light came through the cracks in the upper floor, and the needles hung down, and with it, a few gentle steps,

Recall that the shape of this ship is not small, and when it came down, it turned two stairs, so its location should be the bottom of the ship, with a deck above, and then the deck.

"Woo ,,."

The sound of wooden planks rubbing against each other came from the upper floor, and the sound of closing and closing the sliding door after being thrown down by the officer, it seemed that there was a similar cabin above.

After being silent for a while, after a few sounds of water sucking tea, a quicksand-like voice finally leaked from the cracks in the upper floor: "Hehehe, the military advisor really deserves the name of this 'proud son among people', it seems that in the future, I will rely on you more." ”

followed by Fang Zhunuo's voice: "What did Brother Yun say, Dugong and his old man are safflowers, and you and a few masters are green leaves, like Pillow Nuo and the like, but they are just small fibrous roots that absorb water underneath, and there is always some scenery on it, so you can teach us what to do if we are buried in the soil." ”

Yunbian Qing laughed and said, "I think you look like an ant, climbing branches and pulling leaves, I'm afraid that you will ascend to the sky in a few steps." Fang Zhennuo smiled: "No matter how high the branches are, how can they be as high as the clouds, Pillow Nuo still has this self-knowledge." There was no movement on the edge of the clouds, Ah Yao listened attentively, and after a while, there was a sound of hard objects rubbing on the upper floor, as if someone pulled the chair and sat down,

Fang Zhennuo yawned for a long time, and his laughter was a little vague and sleepy: "I heard that the pavilions and courtyards in the capital have collected beauties from all over the world, and they are extremely prosperous. Yunbian Qingdao: "If you want to go shopping, it is most suitable to find the third gear head to go together, and I will forget it." Fang Zhennuo smiled: "At this point, Brother Yun doesn't have to be like this anymore." Yun Bian Qing sneered, and Fang Zhennuo said idly: "It is said that Emperor Yun is chic and elegant, not close to women, it turns out to be true, in fact, the food and color are also alive and live, it is nothing more than these two things, it is better not to treat yourself badly." ”

Yunbian was silent for a while, and said: "Extravagance and arrogance, easy to do bad things, we came out with the national mission, the trust of the governor, we should be self-disciplined and self-respecting, how can we be willing to degenerate and contaminate the bad habits on the rivers and lakes, [Xianmo: rare,]" He took a long breath, and there was a little more emotion in the original deterrent voice: "Actually, what is the bad treatment, eating, drinking, and having fun Those things are done too much, and it is nothing more than that, [Xianmo: Tired, it can be seen that what was said earlier is the truth, choose kindness, often have to be castrated**, and** Boredom after great satisfaction can also make people kind]"

Fang Zhennuo said: "It seems that Brother Yun is a person who has realized everything." ”

Yun Bian Qing sighed: "In the early years in the factory, I was still very keen on grabbing authority, and later I ...... Cough, after all, it's young, out of these years in the Juhao Pavilion to stay, originally planned to set up a shocking cause, go back to the town of their town, who knows that the changes in the factory are earth-shaking, I also enjoy the wind and moon in the rivers and lakes, from time to time I am a little happy, the mistake of other places as hometowns, alas, think about it coldly, but the governor is right, people in this life, as long as they can always be at ease, what is enlightened, who can do it, it is not all a joke. ”

"Feel ......at ease," Fang Zhennuo repeated,

Then ask, "What is comfort?" ”

Yun Bian Qing smiled: "You are a disciple of Li Lao, you have learned from China and the West, and you can understand the three teachings, you don't understand these two words." ”

Fang Zhennuo said: "The word "comfortable" is always in the mouth, but if you think about it carefully, you will have a very strange feeling, as if you suddenly don't know it, [Xianmo: People who love to read have this experience, not only these two words, but also any word, read more than ten hours of books in a row, and then suddenly the brain is sluggish, looking at the words in the focus of the gaze, I don't know it anymore, it's a common thing,]"

Yunbian Qingdao: "The Duke once said that life in the world is always full of ** and fear, will want property, fear of illness, fear of the future, for this reason Confucius passed down the word "cautious", scholars do everything to be "sincere", then they can be brave and break this fear [Xian Mo: absolutely loud to tease Xiaoqing, saying that a big book can be summarized into a sentence or a few words, but it is not explained, here is the four words of sincerity, just the answer,], Daomen talks about leisure, want to let the heart not be bound by external objects, the core is all in a law word [ Xianmo: If you fly a kite, you want to let your heart fly, you have to tie a thread], idealistic and disciplined, you can get free, and in Buddhism, the way to observe and eliminate it is to 'look at yourself', rhythm, righteousness, and self-mind, are all to find the state of 'I'm here', I am here, that is, I am at ease, then at ease, is a moment of immortal Buddha, not at ease for a moment, is a moment of vulgarity [Xianmo: The first truth of the ages, understand and do it, it is a fairy Buddha,] Today's foolish people will chant the three words of Guanyin day and night, hoping that he will save the suffering, but he doesn't know that Guanyin is Guanyin is Guanyin [Xianmo: It is better to seek others than to seek oneself in the evening of the above Jiang Dynasty,], and the result is to kowtow to hundreds of millions, burn all the sandalwood forests, and the bitterness has no effect, all of which have become a joke. ”

Fang Zhennuo was secretly shocked in his heart, and said: "Before, I was sad and frustrated by the influence of Jing Lingyu, and I suddenly heard the sound of the water duck looking for the shore, and then suddenly realized, I want to live in the world like a water duck standing on a lonely island, when it finds its loneliness, it looks into the distance, hoping that there is a bigger land outside the world, but they are wrong, this world is actually only this life, and there is no second shore [Xianmo: Great smart people can't let go of life and death in their hearts, thinking about whether there is an afterlife is wrong, it is wrong in itself, you have to see it, you don't want to think at all, just live your own,] , Buddhism talks about letting go, is to let people know that this body is illusory and unreal, and will decay sooner or later, so don't be obsessed, let go of life and death, and face the world with a fearless mentality, in exchange for infinite calmness [Xianmo: Many people say empty, the truth is not empty, the mouth says empty, there is still space, the vacuum is not without thought, but there has never been a thought, let alone I have to think about the idea of not moving or empty, so for thousands of years it has been said that Buddhism is really the end, in fact, what is the use, thinking about these all day long, is the most unhelpful to the liberation of the soul,] , Daomen is also to let the heart not be affected by external things, to seek spiritual freedom, and then turn back to do what you should do with this peaceful heart, Confucius's "cautious" mind, its meaning is also in this, it can be seen that the three teachings are the same, there is no one that makes people passive to avoid the world [ Xianmo: Without yourself, you are not afraid of anything, in this way, the eldest grandson retires, that is, he is reluctant to live his own life, smart people only take the safest road, Xiao Fang dares to stay on the island, first, he is conceited, he feels that he can deal with it, and secondly, it is difficult to say that he is not afraid of death, after all, the battlefield is different from others, even Zhu Qing can be cold arrows, that road is dangerous, Xiao Fang will not go,], then listening to what he said just now, Guo Shu Ronghua's thoughts, are not secretly in line with me. ”

Yun Bian Qingdao: "Why, look at your expression, it seems that you don't agree much, your teacher Li Molei is known as 'not eating pork' [Xianmo: If you don't have great conceit, you can't use this as a number,], that you think yourself as a substitute for the saint to continue learning, or a maverick outside the world, I don't know what you think of the word freedom in the hearts of your master and apprentice. ”

Fang Zhennuo said with a smile: "Don't dare, the family teacher has been concentrating on writing books in recent years, and rarely talks about these truths, as for me, I don't want to understand much, everything is at ease with what happens, everything is according to my will, I live easily, and I am quite a little 'comfortable', as for the 'comfortable' that the governor said, it is a little uncertain." ”

Yunbian Qingdao: "We laymen, how dare we look at the realm of the Dugong, it seems that your understanding of freedom is similar to me, what about me, it is very simple, I am at ease in everything, and I am at ease when I look at others, if I am not at ease, then others will not be at ease." Fang Zhennuo smiled and said, "Yes, yes." ”

Yun Bianqing sighed: "There are many things in the world, not you and I can figure it out, this word is free, or the words of the governor more than ten years ago, when he was still a young man, I was still young at the time, I saw that he was already unfathomable, and now his old heart, I am afraid that it is even more difficult to know." After saying that, he was quiet for a long time, I didn't know what I was thinking, and after a while, I continued: "If you want to be comfortable, it's difficult [Xianmo: Is it difficult to be comfortable, there is nothing difficult in the world, as long as you can let go of yourself and don't want to succeed, there is nothing difficult in the world, because failure is what you want, in other words, if you can live with the mentality of "no matter what, this is also my life", there will be no pressure, and there will be no difficulty at all,] , Himeno Ping led people to kill Junshan, most of them have already arrived on the river at this time, I don't know what will happen next, if he really runs away, I can't say that I am not responsible, go back to face and not say, the credit of these years will also be greatly damaged [Xianmo: face, interests, put down one of the two, and it will not be difficult], and in the future, it is bound to end up with a 'only basket, will not close' to make the factory laugh, you think you are my brother, but you have to think of a way for your brother to share your worries. ”

Fang Zhennuo said: "The younger brother has devoted himself to following his brother, naturally he wants to share the blessings and difficulties with his brother, and when he arrives in the factory in the future, the younger brother will also take the elder brother as the head of the horse, and there will be no two hearts, as long as our brother is diligent and cautious, and does not worry about not being able to accept the governor's mention, who will dare to show his teeth when the tide rises in the future." ”

Yunbian Qingdao: "Huo Liao's eyebrows, who can take care of the future, the Yangtze River is wide, the water flow is turbulent, even if the brigade is intercepted, it may not be able to withstand the flow of the river, General Yu has face in front of the emperor, this trip is not his business, who else can the black cauldron fall on." Fang Zhennuo said: "What does Brother Evian mean, what should we do?" Yun Bian Qing smiled: "Brother Fang, you already have a plan in your 'chest', and it is too insincere to push around at this time." ”

Ah Yao was puzzled when he heard it in the bilge, and he didn't know what he meant by deliberately aggravating the word in his chest, at this time, there was a little silence on it, and there was a slight sound of clothes and pages squeezing, and then Fang Zhennuo smiled and said: "Brother, don't blame, the younger brother was also stunned for a while [Xianmo: It's strange, the sleeve has already been set up when it was on the island, at this time, the other party is hooked, can you not laugh, it's really a giant rape, and you will make a detailed comment." The footsteps moved forward, followed and retreated back to the original position, and said: "There is Zeng Zhangye who led the army to block the river, and I think Ji Yeping and his gang can't run, let's collect these shrimp and crabs according to the booklet, and the credit is not small, I believe that this pass can always be passed." ”

The fleet went out of the Chengling Rock Mouth, turned to the east against the current, came out of more than two arrows, and saw a forest of artillery mounts along the coast, the sails on the river, countless ships were cruising and weaving, the other party saw Zeng Shiquan's flag, and quickly divided a fast boat to meet it, and got close to catch the gangplank, a young man with two middle-aged men walked quickly and glanced at it, and saw Zeng Shiquan sitting on the top of the ship, and bowed down two steps upwards to salute, and said loudly: "Jiang Muxian see the master." ”

Zeng Shiquan sat still, glanced down, glanced at Jiang Muxian, and swept his eyes behind him, but did not answer,

Jiang Muxian bowed, his head tilted slightly to the sides, and the two middle-aged men behind him felt the pressure, so they had to bow down and give their hands: "Gu tastes new, Mo Ruzhi, I have seen the master." [Xianmo: After a year, there are hundreds of thousands of words in the text, and suddenly Gu Mo and the two appear again, as if they are in another world]

Zeng Shiquan let out a "hmm" in his nostrils, and said with a faint smile: "Jiang Muxian, you are not in the establishment of the factory guard, and you are not under the control of the military camp, this time our family is willing to take you over, it is completely to look at the face of your little Qin Ye, follow the official family, there must be official rules everywhere, you must discipline your subordinates well, don't spoil the dignity of the court." ”

Jiang Muxian lowered his head again, and said: "Yes, before Jiang was ordered by the young master to serve in the army this time, everything was at will, and the master could use it with confidence, but Jiang's subordinates were all rough Jianghu men, although they were vigorous and resolute, but they lacked some courtesy, and it was inevitable that there would be a sprinkling of soup and leakage, the so-called' Adults don't blame villains', occasionally ask the master to take care of one or two, fortunately, I heard the young master say, he is in Nanzhen Fusi, you are in the East Factory, the factory Weiyuan is a family, the relationship between the two of you is also quite good, public and private, as long as we serve carefully, don't embarrass him and the master, and the master will never let those of us who are subordinates be wronged, [Xianmo: Jiang Heng is still that temperament, there is always a feeling of stubbornness in the elasticity, say follow you, still accept it, say not convinced, still rely on you,]"

Zeng Shiquan let out a series of strange laughter similar to hiccups in his throat, like a choked chicken eating food, he squinted his eyes, poked his two fingers down, looked sideways at Li Yichen and said: "Look, look, no wonder it is said that the Qin family has been prosperous for a year and a half, and there is such a talent, can it not be popular, Xiao Qin Ye is smooth sailing in Beijing, and he is better at doing things than his father and uncle, look at the people he chose to bring out, it is really very different." Li Yichen also nodded and smiled: "Yes, the back waves of the Yangtze River urge the front waves, and it is indeed remarkable to sit in the position of the second head of the Qin family at such a young age." As he spoke, his eyes swept over the heads of Gu Weixin and Mo Ruzhi [Xianmo: Provoke evil], Zeng Shiquan smiled and said: "Hehehehe, Brother Xiaojiang, hard work, I don't know what the situation is here." ”

Jiang Muxian said: "Back to the master, we have used the blood spider silk to open a big net on the river, forming a tight line of defense, it is impossible to smuggle in the past, but so far, no trace of the Juhao Pavilion people has been found." Zeng Shiquan seemed to be expected, "Hmm." sighed and said, "What kind of blood spider silk do you, the brother who tuned the strings last night used it, and it doesn't seem to be a big deal." Jiang Muxian said: "Although the dexterity is not as good as the family, but a good saddle also needs a horse to close, the things are not good to use, and sometimes it is not smooth, [Xianmo: Write Xiao Jiang Shi to write the absolute sound, who said that there is no way to use people, Chen Shengyi has a good heart, but the brain is old, Ma Mingshao is small-minded, and thinks too much, so he looks at the newcomer unpleasantly,]"

This is not humble or arrogant, so that Zeng Shiquan smiled, he beckoned slightly, an officer took a roll of paper, sideways to block the wind in front of his eyes spread out, the paper briefly marked the situation of the mountains and rivers: the top of a winding wide blue line marked the Yangtze River, the lower middle part of a blue for Dongting Lake, on both sides of each side of a thin red diagonal line, the left is long and the right is extremely short, all of them are up to the Yangtze River, down to Dongting, the middle of the land part is approximately an irregular, inverted trapezoid, this officer fingers the top of the long slash on the left and says: "Master, this is the entrance to the tuning." Follow your finger to the top corner of the right diagonal line: "Here we are, Himenodaira came out of the Dongting against the water, and it is not small to go up around this big circle, but with the current wind speed, there will be another three and two quarters, and it will definitely be seen on the surface of the river." ”

Zeng Shiquan nodded, stood up and took out the order flag, and the leaders of the officers and generals immediately lined up on the deck, and said: "Everyone listen, open the bow and bullet, prepare to meet the enemy, if you let go of a boat or a person, all of them will be held accountable and sitting, and the military law will be engaged, and the reward for catching the bandit leader Himinohei will be one hundred taels of gold and three levels in a row." ”

Jiang Muxian and the others retreated in response to the crowd, Sun Cheng and Shen Liang also spread out the wings of the formation, and for a while, the shadows of the boats on the river gathered, and the tense atmosphere was doubled, Zeng Shiquan looked against the current and looked at the place where the blue sky and the river merged, and the corner of his mouth smiled coldly: "Hmph, five or six times the strength can no longer hold down your little chicken cub, then I really don't need to have the surname this Zeng." ”
