Chapter two hundred and eighty-eighth heart is like a knife
If you want to know that dying at the end of your life is like going to the snake.
Half of the scales are gone, no one can cover them.
I want to tie it to its tail, but I know what I can do despite my diligence.
The children were forced not to sleep, but stayed together all night and had a lot of fun.
Don't sing the rooster in the morning, and be afraid of the drums even more.
After sitting for a long time, the lights dimmed and I watched the Beidou tilt.
There will be no time next year, and my worries will be wasted.
If you work hard today, you can still be praised as a young man.
——"Shou Sui" Su Shi
…
Bai Fu opened his eyes slightly, and felt that there were crowds of people in front of him. It seemed that many people were gathered around him. But he couldn't hear what everyone was talking about, and he felt it was noisy. Bai Fu felt dizzy and fainted again.
Bai Fu's condition was very serious this time. He couldn't even get sick and had a high fever that would not go away for more than ten days. The doctor prescribed many medicines, but there was no improvement. With Bai Fu's constitution, he would not be so weak.
That day, the doctor came over to check his pulse. When he left, Huang Zhen called the doctor aside, handed over the generous reward, and asked: "Sir, my brother is so powerful in martial arts, how can he be so sick?"
The doctor looked solemn and said: "On the surface, it seems that this disease is caused by wind after drinking, and the dampness and cold penetrate into the bones. It seems that some kind of poison has been poisoned in the body, but for some reason the poison has been eliminated. In fact, it is a heart disease that is difficult to treat, and the veins are blocked, and there is no cure.
save.
Doctors' ability to cure diseases ultimately depends on the patient's own self-healing ability. No matter acupuncture, medicine or stone, they are all intended to mobilize and stimulate the patient's self-healing ability.
This young hero's pulse is disordered, his heart is closed, and he has no desire to live. As the saying goes, heart diseases still need to be treated with heart medicine. You must not be careless and work more to enlighten them. Otherwise, if the vitality is cut off, even if Bian Que comes back to life,
It’s hard to save his life.”
Huang Zhen hurriedly thanked him. The doctor waved his hand, shook his head and sighed, saluted and left.
…
Bai Fu woke up again and was already lying in his room in the Bashu Guild Hall. The scenery was still the same and nothing seemed to have changed, but the colors were gray and everything seemed to have changed again.
The door knocked a few times and opened with a creak. Huang Zhen walked in with two boys. Bai Fu was about to struggle to get up, but Huang Zhen hurriedly stepped forward, supported Bai Fu, and put a cotton pillow behind his back so that he could lean on it.
bedside.
Bai Fu wanted to explain something, but Huang Zhen waved his hand and said softly: "Brother Fu, we have heard about you. The old horse knew the way and pulled the cart back to the inn. You were nowhere to be seen, and there was nothing in the cart.
We knew something was wrong. We rushed to the Huben military camp, asked the sentry at the gate, and contacted Hu Shan'er, roughly knowing the cause and effect. Then, we searched all over Chang'an City and couldn't find you. Fortunately, you were not there on this cold day.
Something happened.
Don't be too sad. It's not a bad thing that some people are gone. That woman is not worthy of your efforts for her. If we are not together, it is because she does not have this blessing. One day, she will regret it."
Bai Fu felt warm and his eyes were moist.
Huang Zhenzheng was a tough man who usually worked hard and rarely talked about his children's personal affairs. At this time, he patiently enlightened and comforted her wholeheartedly. This kind of comfort was a great comfort to Bai Fu at this time.
Bai Fu was so grateful that his voice was choked with sobs. Seeing that the time was almost up, Huang Zhen left first and asked the waiter to take care of Bai Fu's food and daily life.
After lying in bed for nearly a month, Bai Fu was able to get out of bed and leave the house.
After recovering from a serious illness, Bai Fu looked at himself in the mirror and felt pity for himself. It had only been a month and he was so haggard?
…
As the saying goes, misfortunes never come singly. Bai Fu finally recovered from his illness and returned to the Hongwen Hall to take care of his duties. After Xu Taifu resigned, the new head of the Hongwen Hall, Pei Guan, was very unhappy with Bai Fu and spoke coldly.
Pei Guan heard that Bai Fu's illness was caused by drunkenness in the cold weather, and he was even more unhappy. Seeing that Bai Fu was weak, he had to be considerate and comfort him. Instead, he scolded Bai Fu and ridiculed Meng Lang for being frivolous and rude.
Bai Fu suppressed the anger in his heart. If he had not agreed to Taifu Xu to stay in Hongwen Hall and be a school clerk so that he could listen to the lectures of the great scholars and read a lot of books, he would have left and returned to Qingcheng.
When Pei Guan saw Bai Fu's nonchalant look, he knew that Bai Fu was dissatisfied with him. Pei Guan became more and more angry, but there was no anger on his face. Instead, he was kinder than before.
Pei Guan looked solemn and said earnestly: "Bai Fu, Bai Fu, at such a young age, you offended Prime Minister Li, but why did you provoke Mr. Yang, the acting Prime Minister?
Two days ago, two provinces under Zhongshu's sect sent an ultimatum of amnesty to Hongwen Hall. The document pointed out that a censor impeached you for improper actions in official duties such as water control in the Yellow River and fighting the epidemic in Luoyang. Especially in the case of Shaolin Japanese stealing books and indiscriminate killing.
The Japanese Hojo victory cut off the clues of Japanese traitors lurking in the Tang Dynasty. In view of this, the two provinces under the Zhongshu sect removed you from the post of school secretary of the ninth rank, confiscated your official status, demoted you to a commoner, and served as a handyman at the Hongwen Hall.
Responsible for the cleaning of the museum, with a term of service of ten years."
After that, he took out a volume of documents from the desk, threw it to Bai Fu, and said, "Look at it for yourself. This is the amnesty issued by Zhongshu's sect. I am not deliberately making things difficult for you."
Seeing Bai Fu Cuo's surprised and sad look, Pei Guan secretly said proudly: "What about Taifu Xu's closed disciples? Bullshit! I'm afraid Taifu will never be able to return to Chang'an again in this life.
You are ignorant of the current affairs. Not only are you disobedient, you are also willful and willful. If you offend our Pei family, you will not be able to stand up."
Pei Guan stood up, patted Bai Fu on the shoulder, pretending to comfort him, and said, "Well, since you are a student of Taifu Xu, in order to avoid the embarrassment of being seen when you are cleaning, from today on, you will report to the library.
Bar."
After saying that, Pei Guan walked away humming a tune in his heart.
…
There will be difficult times in life, and the key depends on how you spend them. The way you are dispatched can best reveal a person's temperament.
After tossing and turning several times, he still couldn't fall asleep. Bai Fu simply got up, put on his clothes, and lit an oil lamp. Under the lamp, he saw a thin and pale face. In the past year, the young knight with eyes like shooting stars and longing for glory had disappeared.
It's gone, and all that's left is this body.
With his heart cut by a knife and no one to talk to him, Bai Fu decided to find something to distract himself, otherwise he would not be able to endure it. Early the next morning, he gritted his teeth and returned to Hongwen Hall.
The courtyard of Hongwen Hall is deep, shaded by green trees, with gray walls and green tiles. It is simple and elegant. The front yard is the Confucius Temple, the atrium is a dozen lecture halls, and the back yard is a library and a forest of steles.
From the appearance, the Library Pavilion is a two-story pavilion, but it is actually a three-story pavilion with a dark layer in the middle. The dark layer is entirely made of nanmu walls, which can prevent insects and is the place where books are stored. The design of this pavilion is based on the Book of Changes.
Taking the saying "Heaven generates water and earth creates six" from the Sutra, the six couplets on the first floor are divided into six single rooms, and the six couplets on the top floor are connected into one large room, using "earth six" and "heaven one".
"To overcome fire, it is intended to prevent fire."
There is a rectangular pool in front of the pavilion, surrounded by stone railings. There are koi, fish and algae in the pool. The water in the pool is clear, and when people look from the attic, they can see a crescent moon in the pool, rippling with the waves. The gardener is on the rockery in the south of the pool.
A semicircular gap is opened. Once the sun shines high, the light will pass through the gap and form the reflection of the last quarter moon in the pool water, creating a spectacle of "the sun and the moon shining together".
After Bai Fu completed the handover procedures, he calmly walked up to the attic under the surprise of everyone in the library.
