Chapter 1 Silly Son(1/2)
The son of Su Jisu's father's family, who runs an inn in Sujia Village, Sanhe Town, is stupid. This is the biggest topic of conversation that has been revealed in this small mountain village with a backing of mountains, surrounded by water on three sides, and has a traffic jam these days.
Su Ji is a capable person, at least in the eyes of the villagers of Sujia Village. Sujia Village in Sanhe Town has lived by the river in front of the door for generations. The skill of fishing has been passed down from the ancestors of Sujia Village people to this day. However, in addition to fishing, Su Ji actually opened an inn in Sujia Village. In addition to guests, this inn also lives in his own family.
Sujia Village has a closed traffic and is sparsely populated, and there are only a handful of outsiders here. When Su Ji first opened an inn, he was inevitably ridiculed and said that he would close the door and pay for it. But now many years have passed, this inn is still the tallest building in Sujia Village. Because there are low houses around him, Su Ji's inn has become a landmark in Sujia Village.
There are naturally gossips when there is a limelight. Since ancient times, people have said that the money from Su Ji opened an inn is not right. Su Ji himself used to be a big bandit, and it seems that he was named Qingyan Army.
Fortunately, the east wind overwhelms the west wind, and more people still think that Su Ji and his inn are the storefront of Sujia Village. Occasionally, there are stars and people from outside the country who missed Sutou and couldn't catch up with Sanhe Town. People in Sujia Village pointed to the tallest two-story wooden building and said that this inn is the best inn in the radius, which was opened by Su Ji.
However, Su Ji, a capable man in the eyes of everyone in Sujia Village, has recently been quite face-saving. Su Ji's son Su Ling is stupid.
I'm not always stupid, I'm stupid recently.
This incident was rumored by Aunt Seven and Eight of Sujia Village, such as possession of evil ghosts and confusing fox spirits. But everyone actually knew that Su Ling suddenly became stupid, probably scared.
It turned out that although Su Ji opened an inn, there were very few foreigners living in the hotel. He really earned three or two by opening a store. Su Ji's family of three probably starved to death. Therefore, he was still a fisherman most of the time.
Less than half a month ago, Su Ji carried the fishing boat and took the fishing net to go to the big river at the entrance of the village to fish. His 14-year-old son Su Ling didn't know something was wrong, so he insisted on going with his father.
Children from poor families have become home early, and Sujia Village is sparsely populated, so every family has learned the ability to fish in the river early. Children from other families have followed their parents to the river at the age of 4 or 5, but Su Ling is an exception.
Su Ling has never been fishing since she was born. It is not because of her parents' pity, but because of her physical weakness since she was born, she has been very weak, she is a minor illness every three days, and she is seriously ill every five days. Even his family thinks that the child is born with a natural deficiency, and he is afraid that he will die before he grows up. He grows so weak that he grows to 14 years old, but he is already thin, thin and short. From a distance, he looks like a 10-year-old child.
In this way, Su Ling, who could not hold his hands and shoulders, was about to be blown away by the wind, so Su Ji simply asked him to stay at home every day and do some physically-free work such as feeding chickens.
However, when he went to the river to catch fish half a month ago, Su Ling had some stubborn temper. He insisted on going with his father, so he would hold the fishing net and refuse to let go if he didn't let him go.
Su Ji thought that he would take care of him and nothing would happen, so he agreed. He also told Su Ling to sit in the boat and not to walk around.
But who expected that after getting off the river, before fishing came, the weather suddenly changed, and the strong wind blew everywhere, and the river wind became even more intense, shaking the fishing boat. Although the boat did not overturn, Su Ling was blown into the river by the strong wind and disappeared.
When everyone rescued him, Su Ling's face was already pale. Judging from the situation, she was already dead and could not die any more.
Su Ji's family cried and snatched the earth. Aunt Su was even more sad and scolded Su Ji. Seeing that he was going to handle his son Su Ling's funeral, an old man with a wooden stick came to the door. There was a big gourd hanging on the stick, and the greased twists were worn, saying that he could save Su Ling from death.
Su Ji had no hope at all, thinking that some beggar was just cheating on money. He just treated the dead horse as a living horse, so let the old beggar be cure.
Unexpectedly, this old beggar took a few pills from the gourd and stuffed them to Su Ling. He took out a few silver needles from somewhere and stabbed them a few needles. Su Ling actually sighed and suddenly sat up.
Su Ling actually came alive. Su Ji was so happy that he kowtowed to the old beggar and thanked him. He even took out all the valuable items in the family that were worth some money and wanted to give them to the old beggar. The old beggar said that he did not make money, but the poor family wanted to help the poor family.
Aunt Su asked the old beggar's name, but the old beggar didn't say it, but Su Ji and Aunt Su refused, saying that they should engrave the name of the miracle doctor on the plaque and burn incense from all seasons to show gratitude. Before that, the presbyterian had no choice, he reported the name of Yuanhua.
Su Ji and his family were naturally happy, but this happy time was too short. Su Ling was alive, but he probably became a fool.
He didn't recognize his parents, didn't know where this was, and he couldn't even remember his name, and felt that everything was strange. Well, by the way, he remembered a person's name, which was the old beggar named Yuanhua - he heard it when he woke up.
This scared Su Ji and Aunt Su very much, and asked the miracle doctor Yuan Hua to see. Yuan Hua could not find out where the problem was. He only said that maybe he had just woken up and was weak, and he would recover on his own after a while. Then the miracle doctor Yuan Hua said goodbye and left.
But what Su Ji didn't expect was that his son Su Ling not only did not recognize his parents and himself, but also did not recognize anyone in the village where this place was.
In this way, Su Ling was able to get out of bed after two days of chaos. However, something strange happened after getting out of bed.
Although Su Ling was not very active before, she was even more unmovable now. Apart from three meals a day, she sat on the big bluestone in the yard, her eyes were dull and her expression was dazed, and she didn't say a word. Except for occasionally looking up at the sun in the sky, looking at it for a long time, then showing a foolish smile, there was no other movement.
At the beginning, Su Ji and Aunt Su were still worried, but later, after a long time, they got used to it. Although the child was stupid, his life was finally saved.
In the next few days, Su Ling was still sitting on the big bluestone for most of the time, but occasionally communicated with his parents. Especially in the past few days, the communication became more frequent. The contents they talked about were all about where this place was, who were the villagers in this village, and they all did some business. In a few days, Su Ji saw that his son had recovered almost, so he led him to visit him from house to house. Su Jia Village was not big, with only a dozen families. Su Ji's original intention was to let the children recall some things through the visit. Fortunately, Su Ling was very cooperative, not only active, but also after the visit, he would always ask Su Ji about the situation of each family several times until he remembered it.
My memory has not recovered, but I gradually became familiar with the villagers of Sujia Village. Su Ling also knew that he had a playmate who played with him when he was young, named Du Heng. He was a black-faced boy as strong as a calf, and his age was similar to that of him.
However, this kind of visit has a side effect, which is to inform all the villagers of Sujia Village that Su Ji's son Su Ling has become a fool.
Now the fool Su Ling is sitting on the big bluestone in front of the house, with the sun shining on his pale and blood-colored face. What's strange is that although the sun is good, and it's still in August, he still feels a little cold, as if the sun is not alive.
Su Ling wrapped his worn-out clothes and looked at the scene in front of him again - although he had no idea how many times he had looked at this scene.
The two slightly dilapidated wooden houses in front of him were his home. The first floor was a main hall, and the second floor was a row of rooms divided by wooden boards, without any decoration. Apart from these, it was an empty and large courtyard with fences around the edge of the courtyard. Not to mention blocking people into the courtyard, even a chicken could not be blocked. The so-called safety is probably just a little comfort.
On the left side of the large yard is a low hut made of thatch. In modern terms, it is the kitchen. On the left side of the kitchen is a well. On the right side of the yard is also a low thatched hut, which is a little larger than the kitchen. It is also divided into two by wooden boards, and that is the thatched hut.
There is already a place to eat, drink, defecate, urinate and sleep. There is nothing else in this yard except the big bluestone.
However, this configuration is already the top configuration in this village. Although the second-story dilapidated wooden building is simple, it is the largest in the entire Sujia Village. Is it really big?
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
He had nothing to do with him, because the two floors of the second floor were locked with wooden boards. His father told him that it was the place where the guests lived, and he and his parents squeezed into the cottage separated from the side of the so-called main hall on the first floor.
Su Ling knew that Sujia Village was one of the three villages in Sanhe Town. After Su Ling's mother said that Sanhe Town belongs to Wanyang and consists of three villages: Sujia Village, Lijia Village and Chengjia Village. Sujia Village has the smallest scale, the fewest people, and the most terrain.
Sujia Village faces the intersection of three rivers and is backed by the endless mountains. It has a very poor connection with the outside world. If you take a boat out of the river, you can only get further and further away from Sanhe Town. However, if you go to Sanhe Town, you will have to cross the mountains and walk for several days. Therefore, it is the most invisible village in Sanhe Town.
As for which Sanhe is, Su Ling is too lazy to know.
Although the traffic is inconvenient, it also has its benefits. The people of Sujia Village are simple, and more than a dozen families look down but never look up. Therefore, if anyone has a difficult situation, almost every family in the village provides help, and it is very happy. Because there is not much flat land and there are very few people who grow food, but people always have to eat. Those three rivers are gifts from nature. Each household has one or two fishing boats. The villagers can still eat in the three rivers during the day.
However, after eating fish and shrimp for a long time, some villagers would get bored, so they would form a group of villagers climbed across the mountains and went to the town. When they came back, they brought some food, clothing and expenses to each household. Therefore, every time the villagers went to the town, it would be as grand as the New Year. If any strong laborer was chosen to go to the town for purchase, the family would be very happy and could bring some more things to themselves.
Su Ling once asked his father why he had to join forces to go to the town. His father Su Ji said that there are wolves, insects, tigers and leopards in the deep mountains and forests. One person is afraid that he will go but never return. More people will be safer and he can help each other if there is any situation.
However, after hearing from his mother, the shadow of those wild animals has been rarely seen in the mountains in the past year. Perhaps now there is a turmoil and no one can eat enough. Few people go there to go there. Even if they go there, they will travel together. The wild animals have no food to eat. If they are accidentally, they will become wild game for the people, so the birds and beasts will scatter.
Is there no bandits? This is probably the stupidest question Su Ling asked. His mother smiled and told him, "Where are bandits?" The people who entered the mountain brought guys to defend themselves. Everyone was poor and had little money. They intercepted them at first, but every time they snatched them, they were all worthless and worthless things. If they couldn't get any small minions, they would have some injuries and some lottery tickets. The things they snatched were not enough to cure the injury.
Bandits also have IQ. Where birds don’t poop, naturally no one will snatch them.
During this period, Mr. Su Ling went to the third family in the village, but it was not because there was anything special about this third family. There was a poor scholar named Bai who was moved by a foreigner, and it seemed to be the most knowledgeable existence in the village. Every time Su Ling went there, he would pester the scholar to talk about the current world, court affairs, and current situation. Although this scholar was a little literary, most of the villagers in Sujia Village were illiterate without any ink and had no chats, so he simply said everything to Su Ling. Over time, the scholar felt that he knew the big things in the world and was as talented as a big deal. He was willing to do so. One day Su Ling didn't go to find him, but he came here by himself.
Bai Shusheng has a sister who has no other relatives except for the brother and sister. Her sister is Xiaolan, but she is only five or six years old. On the contrary, this girl from Xiaolan seems to like Su Ling very much. When Su Ling and her brother were communicating, she would listen with her face up to her, or play with herself, never making a fuss. When Su Ling finished talking to Bai Shusheng, she would come and pull Su Ling to play.
From Bai Shusheng, he learned that it is now the first year of Xing'an, Jin Xie Emperor Liu Xian was in power. However, the emperor was just a cover, and the one who truly held real power was Cao Mengwu, the Sikong master of the dynasty, and Jin Xie Emperor was just a puppet.
I heard from Bai Shusheng that although Sikong Cao Mengwu controlled the emperor, he could not cover the sky with one hand. The area he controlled was only in Longtai City, Kyoto, and the surrounding three states of Yan, Si and Yong. Today, there were chaotic times and warlords separatist battles. On his periphery, there were several warlords who were very powerful.
Su Ling asked which families were there, and Bai Shusheng seemed to show off. In addition to Chong, Si, Yong, Qingzhou, Qizhou and Bohaizhou were all controlled by the general Yuan Jizhou. His elite soldiers and generals were loyal to the court on the surface, but they were like water and fire with Cao Mengwu. They were not in the same way as Cao Mengwu. In the southwest, Yi'anzhou has fertile land and steep terrain. He was controlled by the Yi'anmu Liu Jingyu. In the southern gateway, Jiangzhou was the second brother of General Yuan Jizhou, Yuan Huainan, and the richest and largest state in the south. Yangzhou was controlled by the royal clan Yangzhou, Liu Jingsheng, the governor of the royal clan. In the south, Jingnan Prefecture, and Jiaozhou were the territory of King Wu Zhongmou of Jingnan. In the northwest border, Shaliang Prefecture was divided by Ma Xunzhang. In addition, Xu Gongzu of Xizhou in the central region, Gongsun Li in Yanzhou in the north, and General Zhang in the Wanyang were all forces.
Su Ling once asked why so many forces appeared, and how could the court fall to this point. This question made Bai Shusheng quite surprised. He thought that Su Ling was only 14 years old, saying that she was young, saying that she was big, and having read a little bit of the scriptures, and she actually had this question. However, Bai Shusheng only said that Su Ling had heard so many things with him over the past few days, and his horizons naturally broadened. He would not doubt that he would give the credit to him.
Bai Shusheng said that this is a long story, and it will start from 10 years ago when the prefect of Shaliang Dong Ying, the prefect of Shaliang, was the chaotic country. Ten years ago, the government was controlled by the Empress Dowager He. The younger brother of the Empress Dowager He Situi was the general of the dynasty, and he took over the military power of a country. However, because the emperors in front of him favored the eunuchs, the situation of eunuchs' autocracy was created. The general He Situi sought to get rid of the eunuchs, but the news leaked and was killed by the eunuchs on the way to court. The court was in turmoil, and the eunuchs were in power and the military power was monopolized. Yuan Jizhou of Bohai offered advice to the court and transferred the prefect of Shaliang Dong Ying to the capital to serve the king. However, Dong Ying came and caught all the eunuchs.
However, he had evil intentions. The mutiny controlled the court and became the actual emperor. Dong Ying proclaimed himself prime minister. When he saw that the emperor Liu Rong was disliked, he deposed him and let Liu Rong's 9-year-old younger brother Liu Xian become the emperor. He is the current emperor Jin Xie. Dong Ying covered the sky with one hand, abolished the emperor, and acted against the emperor, killed ministers indiscriminately, and stayed in the dragon bed at night. Kyoto Longtai City became a hell on earth. As a result, the world was in chaos and the twenty-eighth forces were rebelled. The twenty-eighth forces gathered and rushed towards Longtai City. However, Dong Ying had a sage general, and Dong Ying's godson Lu Bailou, who killed the twenty-eighth forces and abandoned their armor and failed to form an army.
Seeing that the world was lost at Dong Ying's hands, for some reason, Dong Ying's backyard caught fire, and his godson Lu Bailou turned against Dong Ying and launched a mutiny to stab Dong Ying to death. However, although Dong Ying died, his tiger and wolf soldiers were still there. These soldiers fought in the Central Plains, causing trouble to the emperor. The emperor escaped from Longtai City, and his lives were in trouble, and the country was in chaos.
Fortunately, the current Grand Commander Cao Mengwu used troops to defeat these rebels and rebels, and then changed to the Qingping World. Cao Mengwu took the emperor back to Longtai City. After nearly 10 years of development, the current situation has become the current situation.
When Su Ling heard this, his eyes changed slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
It was getting late, so Su Ling went home. Since then, Su Ling has gone to Bai Shusheng's house more frequently.
Since Su Ling woke up to now, he has only had a full meal. When he woke up from a serious illness, he almost ate the surplus food at home. It is not that he can eat too much, but that there is not much surplus food at home. During the next period, Su Ling lived a full meal. Just now, Su Ji drove a fishing boat to the river to fish again, and Su Ling wanted to follow him. This time, Su Ji disagreed even if he didn't agree.
As for whether we can catch some fish, it's hard to say. I heard Su Ji chat with Su Ling's mother and said that in recent times, the places where there are fish in the first three big rivers in the village have been occupied by the people of Chengjia Village, and the rest have been occupied by Lijia Village. The people of Sujia Village are weak, so they have to scatter two or three nets on the edges or corners of the river, which is touching.
This is the case in the whole village of Sujia Village, but the villagers dare not speak out, so who made Chengjia Village more powerful? Su Ling knew that Sanhe Town is composed of three villages, the most powerful and the best terrain, the most prosperous is Chengjia Village, followed by Lijia Village, and Sujia Village is the weakest.
Su Ling half leaned against the big bluestone and looked at the sky. As expected, Shusheng Bai thought that he had finished reading the book, he got up and went to Bai Shusheng's house.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard a crisp and pleasant shout: "Brother Su is here."
A cute little girl jumped over from the house and grabbed Su Ling's hand and smiled.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
"Sister Xiaolan, is Brother Bai here?"
Xiaolan was about to speak, but Shusheng Bai had already walked out and laughed and said, "I'm waiting for you to come, hurry up and get into the house."
Then he said to the girl Xiaolan: "Xiaolan plays by herself first, I have something to talk about with your brother Su."
Xiaolan was quite unhappy and pouted: "These times Brother Su was just talking to my brother, and he didn't have time to tell Xiaolan the story."
Su Ling smiled and said, "Today, Brother Su will talk to Brother Bai for a while and then tell Xiaolan a story, okay?"
Xiaolan smiled happily, stretched out her little hand and said, "Really? Tighten the hook."
Su Ling nodded, hooked up with Xiaolan, and then entered the house with Bai Shusheng.
After sitting down, Bai Shusheng said, "Others say you are stupid, but I think you are different from before. We talked about these days, which is quite speculative. I told the people in this village that no one listened to me, but you only liked it."
Su Ling smiled and said, "Somehow, I also think I am quite speculative with Brother Bai."
Bai Shusheng smiled and said, "Come to see me today, do you have any questions to ask?"
Su Ling said: "Today, my father went out for fishing. Cheng and Li Village took almost all the places with fish in the three rivers. Our Sujia Village has few people and the terrain is not good. It takes a lot of effort to enter a town, but why don't everyone move away?"
Scholar Bai sighed and told him that wars are everywhere outside now, and the people are unarmed, where can they move? Although it is not good here, the traffic is blocked and surrounded by mountains and rivers has isolated the soldiers and the chaos.
Su Ling nodded, and Bai Shusheng said again: "There is another thing, Sanhe Town belongs to Wanyang City, and Wanyang is the territory of General Zhang."
"General Zhang? Who is this?" Su Ling asked.
"No, General Zhang, you don't know who it is?" Bai Shusheng looked at Su Ling in surprise.
Su Ling scratched her head and said, "You know that you will die this time. I have forgotten who I am."
Bai Shusheng nodded and then said, "General Zhang Xiao, General Zhang. This is our Great Jin Dynasty General Zhendong."
Su Ling seemed to be quite interested in Zhang Xiao and asked, "Which camp does General Zhang Xiao belong to? I heard you a few days ago that those forces are divided into state prefectures, so why is General Zhang the only one city and no one attacked him?"
Bai Shusheng said: "It's not surprising. This Wanyang City was originally from General Zhang's uncle Zhang Fan. This Zhang Fan was one of the four great generals under Dong Ying's army back then. Dong Ying died later. The generals under his command led their troops to cause trouble for Zhongzhou and fought endlessly. General Zhang Fan was originally devoted to the court, and he was also the General Zhendong who was personally appointed by the emperor. He was quite disgusted with the practice of Dong Ying's old subordinates, so he brought his own team to Wanyang and took root.
The central plains and the throat of the south of Wanyang City is at a critical junction. With the terrain of the three rivers and one mountain, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Therefore, there were several times when those rabble generals and soldiers attacked by General Zhang Fan. The people of Wanyang City were protected, so everyone supported him. Later, General Zhang Fan died and had no son. His nephew, now General Zhang Xiao, attacked the position of General Zhendong, led his uncle's old subordinates to protect the safety of Wanyang City."
To be continued...
