Behavior
After being vigilant for a while, Yi Yan realized that the three of them were not malicious, and then gradually relaxed his vigilance and bypassed them and entered the village.
"Look, everyone is scared away by you."
The voice of the man dressed as a scholar came from behind Yu Yan. She could no longer hear clearly what the Wang family's parents said, but a strange feeling flashed in her heart, and she secretly said "I'm sick" in her heart.
Then... Yan Yan was entangled by Wang's parents.
Yi Yan explained it many times, but she didn't know what Wang Xingzhi told the two of them at that time, or maybe a certain aspect of Wang Xingzhi's image was too profound in the eyes of his parents. The Wang family's parents always didn't believe her explanation. In the end, Yi Yan also
Too lazy to explain, he casually picked up a child. The next time Wang's parents came to the door, Yi Yan was the first to push the child over.
"This is my daughter."
This child is Teng Yanyun.
Later, it was explained clearly that the Wang family's parents could not stay in the north for long, so they asked Wang Xingzhi to think about it carefully before returning to Jiangnan.
Because of an unforeseen incident, Wang's parents didn't know what to think, so they started to deal with Yan Yan. During this period, they would be sent any novelty things, and they would also send letters from time to time. If someone sent a letter, Yi Yan would reply.
, so after going back and forth, Yi Yan and Wang's parents gradually became familiar with each other.
Of course, I am more familiar with Wang Xingzhi.
In fact, Yi Yan had always been unable to figure out this inexplicable friendship, but now he could see it in Cong's letter - to persuade people.
Of course it was Wang Xingzhi who advised him.
Out of friendship, Yi Yan had to walk once, and she also wondered why Wang Xingzhi didn't want to leave again.
Very curious.
Thinking of this, Yi Yan couldn't help but laugh. Originally, she always felt that she was different from other living beings, but now it seems that there is no difference. They are all the same gossips and have the same curiosity.
"You shouldn't be so curious, right?" Wang Xingzhi understood Yu Yan's purpose. He chuckled and shook his head, "I thought you were different from others."
"They are all human beings, and I am also curious." Yu Yan replied, "But if you don't want to say it, then don't say it. The power to say or not is in your hands, and no one can force you."
"I don't want to say it, and you don't need to persuade me."
After hearing this, Yi Yan nodded and simply said "Okay".
Then I really didn’t ask anything.
Wang Xingzhi was a little surprised, "You really don't want to ask any more questions?"
Yi Yan shook his head, "I am curious, but my curiosity is not that serious. What I am curious about are other people's things, and they are actually not that important to me."
Wang Xingzhi smiled: "You are quite open-minded."
Yi Yan also smiled: "You are more open-minded, and you won't end up in the imperial examination."
Wang Xingzhi shook his head, "This is different."
But Wang Xingzhi didn't say what exactly was different, and Yi Yan didn't ask.
What's the difference?
Wang Xingzhi turned to look out the window. The window was too small and could only fit the world below. What he saw was only a small corner of the human world, a corner of the world, just like the frog at the bottom of the well. He was no different from the frog in the well.
He is not open-minded, and he is not as high-minded and uninterested in fame and fortune as the world has guessed.
He was escaping. It was precisely because he couldn't look away that he chose to escape.
Yu Yan noticed something strange about Wang Xingzhi. She followed Wang Xingzhi's gaze and her heart moved, "I remember you went on a study tour?"
Wang Xingzhi nodded: "Yes."
"Have you seen all the various states of sentient beings?"
Wang Xingzhi didn't know why Yu Yan suddenly said this. He nodded and shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Then Wang Xingzhi briefly told Yu Jin about the places he had visited and what he had seen during the study tour. Yu Jin listened quietly and added a sentence or two from time to time to express his own opinions. Wang Xingzhi nodded repeatedly, and sometimes the two of them
There will be disagreements and endless arguments.
"Miss Yu has seen a lot."
Yu Yan said: "I can't say that I know everything about the various forms of living beings, but I have seen more than you."
"Wang Xingzhi, you should open your eyes and take a look."
After talking to this point, Yu Jin roughly understood the reason why Wang Xingzhi was unwilling to end the imperial examination.
——
At the beginning of June, heavy rains have continued for more than half a month in the south of the Yangtze River.
The water level of rivers increased sharply, and floods burst their banks, inundating villages and causing serious disasters.
The people were displaced, hungry and flooded the fields, the disaster was unprecedented, and both the government and the public were shocked.
Jiangnan
Shuntianfu
Next to the tomb was a simple thatched shed, the size of a doghouse, barely supported by wooden sticks. A child huddled inside, wearing a coarse cloth coat full of patches that did not fit the size, watching the turbid water rolling down the mountain.
He rushed towards the distance with broken branches, rags, and... bloated corpses.
The rain is still falling, and the heavy rain washes away everything mercilessly. The frightened, sad, and hopeless wailing of people in the distance can be vaguely heard in the ears...
How miserable.
The child thought expressionlessly while wiping the rainwater on his face, which made his already dirty face even more stained.
But in this world, who is not miserable?
The child shrunk his body to avoid the most serious rain leakage, but his whole body was still cold.
There was no thought of the rain stopping, and it seemed to be getting heavier and heavier. The hut that had been supported for several days was finally overwhelmed and fell down before the children.
It was originally dry grass picked up scatteredly, but now that the shed has fallen down, the thatch is scattered with the rain and sliding down the slope. Where can it be used?
How many more days can you survive?
The child's mind gradually became groggy, but he maintained a clear consciousness and kept talking.
"Auntie, I think I might really have to go find you this time..."
"Auntie, remember to pick me up... I haven't seen you for a year, do you still remember my appearance?"
"I don't know if you can recognize me now. I'm a little beggar now."
"Auntie, don't be angry. I listened to you and lived well. If you don't believe me, look at it. Almost all the beggars in Jiangnan are dead. Those older than me and younger than me are all dead. I am the only one who is still alive. I have worked very hard.
The earth is alive, but my ability seems to only go so far. It’s really difficult..."
Darkness encroaches.
"Aniang, you named me Changsheng. It seems that this name doesn't work..."
He is still going to die, and he still has no immortality.
What is immortality? There is nothing good about immortality. It is just continuing to soak in suffering. Living is not good at all, and immortality is not good at all.
The debris on the ground was forever buried and washed away by this disaster, leaving no trace or trace behind.
In mid-June, the imperial court received an urgent report that was sent in at high speed. Both the government and the public were shocked, and officials were immediately dispatched to provide relief and control the flood.
The main officials who went to the south of the Yangtze River to control floods this time were Duan Chang, the elder of the government, Kou Zhun, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Li Lue, the minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. They were accompanied by a number of other officials.
Duan Chang was the main official, and Yan Huaian accompanied him as his deputy. This arrangement was made by the emperor, and everyone in the court understood it tacitly.
After July, news spread that the displaced people had settled down, and a clear plan for flood control had been established. Rivers were opened to divert water and water conservancy projects were built. Flood control had initially achieved results.
