594. Peach Blossom Spring (Everyone wants all the best in the New Year!)(2/2)
In response, he explained: "The dogs in the village are very friendly. Because we are all our own people and there are no bad people from outside, so the dogs don't need to watch the door and the house, which is equivalent to our relatives."
They passed through the village, and the houses in the village were built in an orderly manner, with red light swaying inside, and even more heat gushing out.
Wang Qilin guessed that there was fire in these rooms.
The lights in the village were much better, and the burning flames shone brightly inside and outside the house.
There are old men guarding the child at the door, the old men are kind, the naughty boy is cute, and there are women busy cooking rice and roasting pork. The whole village is filled with a peaceful atmosphere, like an ordinary village at sunset.
Du Ruhui's home is in the middle of the village. It is a small stone house with three rooms, and there are flames burning inside.
The fire is not burned with charcoal, but with stones!
Du Ruhui introduced: "Brother, you must be full of doubts. You must have never seen such a fire-burning object..."
"I've seen it." Wang Qilin said calmly.
Du Ruhui was about to explain, but when he heard this, he was surprised and asked, "Ah? Have you seen me with me? Well, right, you like to travel around the country and the rivers and rivers, and you should indeed be knowledgeable."
Wang Qilin said: "I have been to the bitter and cold land in the north of Mobei. People there will use the black stones here to burn fire. They call this coal."
Du Ruhui smiled and said, "Coal? This name is a bit meaningful. We are Shi Ni, and one piece can burn for a long time."
He shouted to the house again: "Good lady, there are distinguished guests outside at home today. Come and kill chickens and ducks to have a sumptuous banquet."
The curtain of the inner room was opened, and a fair and beautiful young woman walked out. She looked at Wang Qilin in surprise, and then showed him a charming and meaningful smile:
"Where did the distinguished guest come from? Oh, I came out to see the guest without having to clean up. It's really rude."
The young woman called herself Du Li. She virtuously brought a pot of hot water and a box of tea, and then hurried out.
Du Ruhui said, "Don't worry, wait until the fog disappears before going out. With such a big fog, your wife is weak, and you are afraid that you will get sick if you go out and be invaded by the dampness and evil energy."
Du Li smiled and said, "Thank you, my husband, for your considerateness, but isn't the fog dissipating?"
Wang Qilin turned around and looked out.
Indeed, the fog is dissipating, and it is dissipating very quickly-the sun is coming out!
The red sun rose, and a world that made him unexpected appeared before him!
A river flows peacefully in front of the village. The village and the river are located between two mountains. There are fertile fields on the hillside at the foot of the mountain. The village is built with low but beautiful wooden houses, with winding wilderness and chickens and dogs.
The fog dissipated, and every household walked out of the farmers. They carried the houses and laughed and went up the mountain to work. Then someone spread the news about Wang Qilin. Soon four or five men were curious to come.
Du Ruhui waved his hand and smiled, "Brothers are rude. Brother Xu came from afar and happened to have a distinguished guest in our village. What is the difference between you watching him like this and those who are watching monkeys in the juggling team? Don't do this, don't embarrass the distinguished guest!"
The farmers laughed when they heard this. Du Ruhui said that he would prepare a few more chairs when he was eating. Then the farmers were very happy and said that they would definitely come. You can have one dish and I will soon gather half of the banquet.
When the farmers left, Du Ruhui apologized to Wang Qilin, saying that they had been in the mountains for many days in order to avoid the danger outside. Everyone was very curious about the outside, so they couldn't help but want to come and watch him.
Wang Qilin said: "What's there to apologize for? This is so normal. If I live alone in a mountain for some time, I will definitely be more curious when I see outsiders."
"But," he changed his subject, "I think Brother Du is not old, and the other villagers are not old. When did you get here?"
Du Ruhui said: "I was brought by my parents when I was a very young man. I'm afraid I've lived here for twenty or thirty years. Others came earlier, and some were born here. They don't even know what it looks like outside."
Wang Qilin smiled and said, "From what you said, this is a bit like "The Peach Blossom Spring" written by Mr. Tao Yuanming."
"Mr. Taoyuanmin? The story of Taohuayuan?" Du Li, who came back with a quick knife, was curious, "Where is Taohuayuan? Is it also a farmhouse? Where are the people calling themselves Taoyuanmin?"
Wang Qilin blinked when he heard this. Tao Yuanming and Taoyuanmin, he suddenly found that these two names were interesting.
Du Ruhui was a scholar, and he smiled and said, "You are a joke. Tao Yuanming was a great poet in previous dynasties. He wrote some pastoral poems he read for his husband on weekdays. "The Peach Blossom Spring" was an article he wrote, but the village introduced in this article is really similar to our common people's villages."
As he said that, he started chanting: "In the Taiyuan period of Jin, people from Wuling caught fish for their careers. They walked by the stream and forgot the distance of the road..."
While he was reciting "The Book of Peach Blossomsland", someone came to hear the news.
These people brought fruits, dried fruits and tea, most of them were old people, so they came to him to inquire about external information.
In this way, as long as someone comes, Du Ruhui's process of reciting "The Book of Peach Blossoms" will be interrupted. He will finish reading it intermittently for a while.
After listening to the article, some people joked that Du Ruhui was a sour scholar, while others said with interest: "So there is such an article. Isn't the Taohuayuan here talking about our people's village?"
Someone asked: "Du Xiucai, you have been studying with your father for many years, and can read and write poems and write articles. Then can you write such an article for our Baixingzhuang? It is called "Baixingzhuang Ji".
Du Ruhui smiled awkwardly and said repeatedly that he did not have such talent.
Wang Qilin said with a smile: "Brother Du is humble. He really can't write such an article because it's a ghost article!"
An old man subconsciously asked, "What the hell is it?"
"Writing articles about ghosts," said Wang Qilin, "In fact, "The Peach Blossom Land" is about a world of the dead!"
Everyone exclaimed when they heard this.
Wang Qilin analyzed freely: "You see, at the beginning of this article, in Taiyuan, the people of Wuling were fishing for the sake of their career. They walked by the stream and forgot the distance of the road."
"You may not know that during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the clans were strict, and scholars could also study. The ancestors of fishermen were all fishing, so this fisherman should be very familiar with the waterways in his hometown. He walked along the stream, how could he get lost?"
"Then I suddenly encountered a peach blossom forest, with hundreds of steps between the shore, no miscellaneous trees, the grass was delicious, and the fallen flowers were colorful. When will the peach blossoms fallen and the flowers bloom? It is naturally spring!"
"What's going on? When he entered the village, he found that 'the land was flat and the houses were like fertile fields and beautiful ponds and mulberry bamboos'. But when will mulberry bamboos mature? In summer!"
"He just crossed a river and entered a village, and actually went from spring to summer. Is that right?"
"Besides, how can the houses in ordinary villages be built in an orderly manner? Look at your villages, are there mixed layouts? If a village is built in an orderly manner, it is often the ancestral tomb!"
Du Ruhui was surprised to speak, and Wang Qilin waved his hand with a smile and said, "Looking down, the village is full of traffic, and chickens and dogs are heard. The intercourse between them is like a man and a woman in the clothes, like outsiders!"
"Everyone, this is the point! The article introduces that the people in the village claim to be "avoiding chaos in the Qin Dynasty, coming from desperate situations, and never coming back." They entered the village from the Qin Dynasty and never went out again, so--"
"How could the clothes and makeup of the people of Qin Dynasty be 'like outsiders'? How could they be the same as those of the people of Jin Dynasty?"
"So before contacting the fisherman in front of me, I first passed a peach blossom forest to think about what the peach forest is used for? Repel evil spirits and ward off disasters!"
"Everyone, let's taste it carefully. Where is this fisherman going?"
A group of old men who were originally going to come to inquire about the news were stunned by his analysis.
Du Ruhui was also messy and shouted: "Brother Xu, that's not the case. Why is "The Peach Blossom Land" a ghost text? It's obviously not! It's..."
Wang Qilin laughed as he answered his words: "Haha, Brother Du said so much, how could it be a ghost text? It is not a ghost text."
"It is a prosecutor to accuse the serious case of the court at that time!"
Du Ruhui was confused: "What, what? Average word? Why has it become a pretext word again?"
Wang Qilin said sadly: "The fisherman did see a paradise, but since Brother Du studied, he should understand how dark the Jin Dynasty was. At that time, the barbarians from the north went south and burned, killed and looted everywhere, while the local officials were cruel and the people were living in poverty."
"So when the fisherman went out to speak of such a place as a paradise, he 'goed to the prefect and said so. When the officials got the news, they sent people to follow him, looking for what they wanted, and then they were confused and no longer able to get the way'."
"I said before the article that when the fisherman left, he was 'ambulating everywhere', and he was marked all the way. How could he not find the way when the soldiers under the prefect came back?"
"They actually found a way, and massacred all the people in the Peach Blossom Land, seizing their food and money!"
"Later, 'Nanyang Liu Ziji, a noble man, heard about it and went there happily. But he failed and found that he had ended in illness'!"
"Liu Ziji from Nanyang went to search, but in the end he didn't find this place and died. Is this normal?"
Wang Qilin shook his head: "Of course it is not normal. What is normal is that Liu Ziji found the Peach Blossom Land and saw the slaughterhouse. He was a noble and noble man. He was angry and sick in grief, anger and despair, and eventually lost his life!"
"Of course, the reason for his life was that he was sick or killed. This is another case." After saying this, a strange smile appeared on his face.
Someone asked subconsciously: "Is this true?"
Du Ruhui was already messy in the wind, and he stuttered: "I, I, I don't know."
"Why are you laughing?" Someone noticed that Wang Qilin was smiling strangely and couldn't help but shout.
