Chapter 5 The Eight-Year-Old Prodigy
Three hours later, the sun sets and the moon rises, and the stars are everywhere. Huang Yaoshi vomits a mouthful of blood. He feels that the injury is gone, so he instructs the mute servant to prepare hot water to take a shower and change clothes.
After cleaning it and putting on new clothes, Huang Yaoshi called the mute servant: "Go and prepare a table of wine and food."
After the mute servant left, Huang Yaoshi carried the flute and went to the Peach Blossom Forest.
“Three with one.”
"Please do it."
"don't want."
"Hehe, 345678910jqk, I'll just have one card."
"You are too happy. King!"
"ah!?"
"For 5, 7, 9, 9, 4, 4, 2. Hahaha, come on, draw a little turtle."
"Hate, why did I lose again?"
"I am willing to accept the loss of the bet, but why?" Zuo Xiaoyou took out a brush and drew a little turtle on Huang Rong's face.
Seeing this scene, Huang Yaoshi's face was covered in darkness and shouted: "Rong'er, what are you doing!"
A flash of figure, Huang Yaoshi was already present.
"Ah? Dad." Xiao Huang Rong was startled, but before Huang Yaoshi got angry, she immediately stood up happily and smiled: "Dad, please tell me that brother is so powerful. He has a lot of fun things, so let's play with him together!"
Huang Yaoshi: “…”
Seeing his daughter with a little turtle-looking look, Huang Yaoshi was speechless. In his memory, his daughter seemed to have never been as happy as she is today. As a widowed middle-aged man who regards her daughter as a treasure, his daughter's happiness is what he wants to protect the most.
"I guess the senior is the Master of Huangdao." Zuo Xiaoyou stood up and clasped his fists: "I am Zuo Ying, the junior Quanzhen Sect, is the closed disciple of the master Chongyang Zhenren, and the successor of the robe and mantle."
The moonlight spread on his face. After Huang Yaoshi saw it clearly, he was shocked: "How could this person be so young? I'm afraid he can't be much older than Rong'er, so how could he have such profound skills?"
But Zuo Xiaoyou had two little turtles on his handsome face at this time, which looked a bit ridiculous.
Huang Yaoshi suppressed his smile and nodded: "It's Huang, I don't expect that the real person in Chongyang has such a successor, which is really enviable."
"The Lord of Huangdao is too much." Zuo Xiaoyou said with his fist: "I have admired Lord of Huangdao for a long time. Today I have to see the Lord of Huangdao, which is really a blessing in my life."
These words are by no means false. When I first read "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Zuo Xiaoyou highly praised the two characters in the book, one was Hong Qigong and the other was Huang Yaoshi. Now that I can see this smart man with my own eyes, Zuo Xiaoyou feels satisfied that he is better than seeing at first sight than hearing.
Huang Yaoshi didn't know what Zuo Xiaoyou was thinking. Seeing Zuo Xiaoyou was so respectful to him, he felt much more comfortable. He also heard his sincere tone, and his admiration for him was not like lying. He felt a little satisfied in his heart. He looked at Zuo Xiaoyou more and more pleasing to him: This man has such skills at a young age, and he is very respectful to me. It is really rare.
For people like Huang Yaoshi, eye contact is very important. As long as he likes him, even those who are unforgivable will be truly friends with him. For example, Yang Guo will be like this in the future. Similarly, if Huang Yaoshi doesn't like him, then he will hate him for the rest of his life. For example, Guo Jing is like this. Although Guo Jing married Huang Rong, Huang Yaoshi's father-in-law looked down on him at all. After the two married, they lived on Taohua Island, and Huang Yaoshi left Taohua Island without seeing him.
Even if Guo Jing becomes a hero who is admired by everyone in the future and serves the country and the people, Huang Yaoshi still dislikes him. Even if Huang Rong deals with it, he cannot change his ideas.
At this time, Huang Yaoshi looked at Zuo Xiaoyou and didn't mind the little turtle on his daughter's face. Instead, he felt that Zuo Xiaoyou could make his daughter so happy. He didn't look old and looked pretty good. Now he felt good.
"Young brother is so polite. Huang has prepared a banquet and asks you to move."
Seeing that Huang Yaoshi was kind to him, Zuo Xiaoyou agreed happily, but there was a little turtle on his face and the Taoist robe on his body was a little dirty, so he simply went to wash his face, took a shower, and changed his clothes.
At this time, Zuo Xiaoyou was sixteen years old and had not yet grown tall, but was already 1.78 meters tall. Unfortunately, the wise and handsome middle-aged handsome man Huang Yaoshi, who was wise and martial, was less than 1.7 meters tall.
When watching The Legend of the Condor Heroes, Zuo Xiaoyou did not have much imagination about Huang Yaoshi's height. He basically thought that Huang Yaoshi was an ordinary person, almost over 1.7 meters tall. But in this real world, he found that Huang Yaoshi was not tall, and he was only 1.67 meters tall to death.
Fortunately, in ancient times, it was understandable that it was a little shorter. However, Huang Yaoshi was posing here, and Huang Rong, who was about eight years old, seemed to be small, Zuo Xiaoyou was very worried about Huang Rong's height when she became an adult.
What is one meter five?
Washing away all the dust, Zuo Xiaoyou's dust removal and elegant youthful aura came to his face. When Huang Yaoshi saw it, he couldn't help but lit up his eyes, and he felt even more satisfied. He invited Zuo Xiaoyou to the table with a smile on his face.
Huang Rong washed off the little turtle on her face and showed her pretty and cute face. What impressed the most was her big, watery eyes, as if it gathered the aura of the entire Peach Blossom Island, which was impressive.
"Little brother, please." Huang Yaoshi picked up the wine glass.
"Senior, please." After drinking a glass of water wine, Zuo Xiaoyou felt that the taste was pretty good, a bit like a cocktail, but it was not as pure as a cocktail. Judging from the winemaking technology of this era, it was already very good.
"Good wine." Zuo Xiaoyou savored it for a moment and said, "Sweet and soft, it makes you feel comfortable to drink. Senior, what kind of wine is this?"
Huang Yaoshi laughed and said, "This is peach blossom wine, which is the unique wine of my Peach Blossom Island. If you like it, drink a few more glasses."
"In this way, I will be disrespectful." Zuo Xiaoyou drank three small cups in a row, and then talked with Huang Yaoshi while drinking and eating vegetables. Huang Yaoshi is worthy of being the most knowledgeable and talented person in the world of The Legend of the Condor Heroes. He is knowledgeable and blurted out astronomy and geography, and his poetry and essays are easy to write, which makes Zuo Xiaoyou have to express his admiration.
But Huang Yaoshi was the most shocking person, because Zuo Xiaoyou's knowledge seems to be no worse than him, and the things he knows are very novel. Some views seem to be nonsense, but when you think about it carefully, it makes sense. Many words are directed to the point, which makes Huang Yaoshi have to nod and agree.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the more they talked, the more they became more and more speculative, and they felt that they met too late.
After filling her stomach, Xiao Huang Rong listened quietly to the two of them talking. She knew more about Huang Yaoshi's standard, but this was the first time she had seen someone who could chat and laugh with her father without being frightened, and even vaguely suppressed her head.
Little Huang Rong held her chin with her hands, stared at Zuo Xiaoyou with big black eyes, and during the break, she spoke: "Brother Ning, I have a few questions that I have never understood. Can you give Rong'er some tips?"
Zuo Xiaoyou smiled slightly: "I dare not take the advice, but I must have said everything I know and say everything."
"Then I'll ask?" Xiao Huang Rong said with a smile.
"Ask!" Zuo Xiaoyou nodded.
Huang Yaoshi is also very interested. He doesn’t know what questions he has to answer as the pearl in his hand?
"Brother Ning, why was Da Song bullied by the Jin Kingdom?"
Huang Rong asked an explosive question as soon as she came up. Zuo Xiaoyou and Huang Yaoshi couldn't help looking at each other, unable to believe that an eight-year-old girl would actually care about state affairs.
Zuo Xiaoyou looked at Huang Yaoshi, and Huang Yaoshi shook his head and said that he didn't know why Huang Rong was following these things.
"This question is a bit complicated." Zuo Xiaoyou sorted out his thoughts and said, "But to put it in the simplest reason, the Song Dynasty is not as strong as the Jin Kingdom, and he compromised. As long as the Jin Kingdom fights, he will give him countless gold and silver to ensure safety. So the Jin Kingdom fights as long as he wants, and fights very happily. He can get a lot of gold and silver in a war, and wins steadily. Why not fight?"
Huang Rong blinked: "Why did the Song Dynasty compromise?"
"Because the life of the Song Dynasty was so comfortable." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled faintly: "The Song Dynasty was rich, the people had no worries about food and clothing, and had a comfortable life, so they did not want to fight. The officials of the Song Dynasty believed that as long as it was a problem that gold and silver could solve, it was not a problem. Paying money to ensure safety is a thing of the past, but for the passionate man, it was too cowardly."
"So that's it." Huang Rong nodded, as if she understood, and then asked the second question: "Brother Ning, why can't we fly in the sky?"
"..." Zuo Xiaoyou and Huang Yaoshi looked at each other again. The eight-year-old Huang Rong was no worse than Xiang Yu who stumped Confucius at the age of seven. The genius children hate the most.
Despite this, Zuo Xiaoyou still has to give the answer.
"This question is a bit difficult, but I happen to have some research on this question." Zuo Xiaoyou said: "Before answering this question, I would like to ask Rong'er, do you know what the bird looks like?"
"Of course I know!" Huang Rong said: "There are many seabirds by the sea!"
Seabirds should be seagulls.
Zuo Xiaoyou nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, let's think about the birds' appearance: they have a pair of big wings and beautiful feathers. The bird's feathers can not only keep it warm, but also make its body streamlined. This will fly very quickly and save effort. In addition, the bird's wings have a large feather, which can increase the area of the wings and increase the lift required for flight. The bird's muscles are also very developed and can wield wings vigorously.
Moreover, the bird's bones are light and strong, and the longer bones are filled with air. In this way, the bird's body can fly very lightly and conveniently.
In addition, the bird's digestive and urinary system are also quite special, and there is no feces or urine in the body, which further reduces the weight of the bird.
If we carefully observe the bird's wings, we can see that its wings are slightly protruding upward. In this way, when the bird waves its wings, the air flows faster and the pressure is smaller; the air flows slowly and the pressure is higher. In this way, the air is constantly pressed to the back and bottom of the bird's body, and it will be supported by the air to fly."
Speaking of this, looking at Huang Rong, who was confused and Huang Yaoshi, Zuo Xiaoyou smiled and said, "Sometimes, we see that the wings of the birds in the air are not flapping, which is the birds gliding using the upward airflow. Large birds such as eagles are particularly good at gliding.
Let’s think about poultry such as chickens, ducks, geese, etc., which have smaller wings and the feathers on the wings are not as big as other birds. Therefore, these poultry can only fly for a short distance and fly very low.
As for why we humans cannot fly? In fact, we have wanted to fly freely like birds since ancient times, but we do not have the light bones, developed feathers and powerful muscles as birds. So, even if we put wings on our arms, we cannot fly by waving our wings alone. Do you understand?"
"..." Huang Rong had a strong sense of uncertainty, "Brother Ning, I don't understand what you said. What is streamlined? What is lift? What is air flow? What is pressure?"
Huang Yaoshi nodded secretly, which was what he wanted to know. These professional terms were used in later generations and even primary school students, but in this era, God was still playing mud in the northeast, so who knew these things? So what if Huang Yaoshi traveled around the world and was knowledgeable? Do you know what sulfur dioxide is? Be careful to make pm2.5 to poison you.
"It will be difficult to explain these things." Zuo Xiaoyou said: "In short, these are very complex nouns that can be explained clearly by multiple theories. It is difficult to understand after a few years of study, so I am afraid I can't explain them clearly to Rong'er."
"So that's how it is." Huang Rong nodded in a vague way, then asked: "Brother Ning, do you think we all have a way to fly?"
"Of course," Zuo Xiaoyou nodded: "Just make some tools, it's very easy to fly."
"Take it seriously!" Not only Huang Rong, but even Huang Yaoshi exclaimed: "Little brother, have you not lied to us father and daughter?"
"Senior is too worried." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled and said, "How could you joke with seniors!"
Huang Yaoshi stared at him with burning eyes: "Can people really fly?"
"Although it's not long and there are many restrictions, it can indeed fly." Zuo Xiaoyou nodded, "It may be a bit dangerous, but the martial arts of his predecessors should be fine."
Huang Yaoshi was immediately surprised: "Can you..."
Seeing Huang Yaoshi's anxious look, Zuo Xiaoyou smiled slightly and said, "It's not difficult to create it. As long as the senior agrees to me, within three months, I will definitely let me fly like a bird."
The temptation of flying is too great. As Zuo Xiaoyou said just now, people have always dreamed of flying freely in the sky like birds since ancient times. Even people like Huang Yaoshi could not resist the temptation of flying. Faced with the conditions proposed by Zuo Xiaoyou, Huang Yaoshi said: "Little brother, let me tell me, as long as Huang can do it, I will not refuse."
"Senior can do it completely, and it will not be unfaithed." Zuo Xiaoyou said.
"That's good." Huang Yaoshi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Little brother, please speak."
Zuo Xiaoyou looked at him and whispered: "I want senior to let Uncle Zhou go." (To be continued.)
