"Legend has it that more than a thousand years ago, during the Yin and Shang dynasties, there was a feudal state of the Shang Emperor in the north, called the Guzhu Kingdom. The king of the Guzhu Kingdom was called Lord Guzhu.
As for Lord Guzhu, he has two sons. The eldest son is called Boyi, and the second son is called Shuqi.
Guzhujun admired his youngest son Shuqi very much, so he wanted Shuqi to be his successor and inherit his position as king. However, Shuqi had a very good relationship with his brother Boyi and did not want to take away what originally belonged to his brother.
As the king of the country, he planned to escape from the Guzhu Kingdom. After his brother Boyi found out about this, he did not want to force his brother away like this, so he fled from the Guzhu Kingdom with his younger brother Shuqi. Since there was no
Heir, after the death of Lord Guzhu, the Guzhu Kingdom will also be destroyed."
"These two people are really weird. So, what happened next?" Li Huigu had a puzzled expression on her face. She continued to listen to Xia Houxuan's story attentively.
At this point, Xia Houxuan couldn't help but sigh slightly. He continued:
"Later, the two brothers Boyi and Shuqi fled to the territory of Jichang, the Marquis of Xibo in the Western Zhou Dynasty. They lived in seclusion there for many years until they were more than seventy years old. An earth-shattering event broke their peace.
life."
Hui Gu heard this and asked hurriedly:
"I wonder what happened?"
Xia Houxuan continued:
"Soon, King Wen of Zhou died and King Wu Jifa came to the throne. Soon, King Wu began to ally with the princes and sent troops to attack the emperor King Zhou, Boyi and Shuqi brothers. They were also vassals of Yin and Shang. They felt that Yin and Shang were their and theirs.
As the suzerain of the Zhou tribe, King Wu violated the rules of a monarch by attacking Zhou, so they blocked King Wu Jifa's marching ceremony in the street. However, King Wu was determined, and the two did not succeed in persuading him. In the end, the Shang Dynasty was cut off by King Wu.
, the King of Shang piled his treasures on the deer platform, set himself on fire and died. When Boyi and Shuqi heard the news, they were very sad and angry, so they fled to Shouyang Mountain and decided not to eat Zhouli from now on."
"But at that time, the whole world already belonged to the Zhou Dynasty. If they don't eat Zhou Li, what can they eat?" Hui Gu couldn't help but curiously asked after hearing this.
"After the two of them escaped to Shouyang Mountain, they began to pick weeds for food."
The behavior of the people was very ridiculous, so she asked them the question you just asked. She said to Boyi and Shuqi: "Is it the king's land in the whole world? The whole world belongs to our king of Zhou. How can you eat it now?"
Isn't weicai growing on my land in the Zhou Dynasty?" After hearing this, Boyi, Shu and Qi felt very ashamed, so they later stopped eating even weicai. Later, they went on a hunger strike.
And died. This is the story of Boyi and Shu Qi Caiwei."
Xia Houxuan took a bite of fresh wild fruit, chewed the steamed buns in his mouth, and spoke vaguely. At this time, Xia Houxuan was very puzzled by the behavior of Boyi and Shuqi, so he was also dissatisfied with them.
How respectful, that's why we talk like this while eating.
"These two old men are so pedantic." Li Huigu still looked incomprehensible. Having grown up in the mountains, she naturally could not understand the thoughts of the ancients. It was just that in her mind, it seemed
She vaguely remembers that there was once a person who told her these truths when she was very young. As for whether that person was her father or her mother? It has been so long that she no longer remembers it.
Or maybe, there are many memories that she no longer wants to think about anymore.
"Does Miss Li think so too? It's really wonderful." Xia Houxuan seemed to be very happy that someone had the same idea as him. Since he was a child, his parents and ancestors have been nagging in his ears.
But in my opinion, it is good to be loyal to the emperor, but you must also be loyal to the emperor who is worthy of loyalty. Foolish loyalty like Boyi Shuqi is not worthy of people to imitate!
At this time, he was just a dissolute young man. What he didn't know was that many years later, his views on Boyi and Shuqi would become completely opposite to those before. Not only that, even King Wu
He had doubts about whether the truth about the defeat of Zhou was really as recorded in the historical records.
In the next few days, almost every day, Huigu would come to the hunting pit and bring food to Xiahou Xuan. And he would tell her some weird things he had read in books every day; as well as some stories about Luoyang, the capital city.
Folk customs.
On the fourth day, Xia Houxuan suddenly remembered that his task had not been completed yet. Thinking that Li Huigu was also a medical woman, Xia Houxuan couldn't help but feel a move in his heart.
"By the way, Miss Li. Your medical skills are so good. I think you should know many famous doctors."
"So what if you recognize him?" Li Huigu was puzzled. She had already helped him heal his horse. When he came up, she would naturally help him heal his injured muscles and bones. Why did he still want to visit a famous doctor?
"To be honest, I have an elder in the capital who is seriously ill and in urgent need of medical treatment. Someone told me that in the world, only two disciples of the former miracle doctor Hua Tuo, Wu Pu and Fan A, could cure this elder's condition.
It's getting better. I heard that Wu Pu and Fan A were traveling in Langya, Qingzhou, so I traveled thousands of miles to Qingzhou to seek medical treatment. If the girl knows where they live and whereabouts, could you please tell me? It's important.
In order to save my life, if Miss Li can help me, I would be very grateful."
"Mr. Wu Pu..." Li Huigu seemed to hesitate for a moment before she said: "To be honest, Mr. Wu Pu is my mentor, and I am his female disciple. And Mr. Fan A
, then he is my uncle."
"Really?" Xia Houxuan was naturally very excited after hearing this. He hurriedly asked: "After I get out of this predicament, can you trouble me to take me to meet your mentor, Mr. Wu Pu?"
"But...Master went to Youzhou for a wander a month ago, and he didn't say when he would come back..." Seeing Xiahou Xuankong running away, Li Huigu couldn't help but said apologetically.
"So that's it..." Xia Houxuan's mood fluctuated and he looked a little disappointed. He thought to himself that he had come all the way this time. He thought that sincerity would definitely open up the world, but he didn't expect it.
As luck would have it, I was here in vain.
Seeing that Xia Houxuan was in a gloomy mood, Huigu didn't dare to disturb him anymore. After comforting him for a few words, she picked up the medicine basket and went home.
At night, Xia Houxuan suddenly felt that his physical strength and skills had almost recovered. He looked at the entrance of the cave, and his heart was ready to move. Finally, he was tempted to test. He concentrated his energy, took a deep breath, and started to practice the light skill passed down from his family.
He jumped up from the outside of the cave and saw that his white shirt was slightly empty.
He actually jumped more than ten feet in one leap!
It's a pity that the hole is too deep. It seems that he can escape with only half a foot. However, Xia Houxuan is weak and weak after all. Although he tried his best, he still couldn't jump out. In desperation, he could only
Neng fell down lightly again.
The night is getting darker.
Xiahou Xuan felt sleepy gradually, so he took the "Quality" sword as a pillow and slept with his clothes on. After a while, he fell into a deep sleep.
In the jungle, certain sounds came from time to time. The sound of 'hiss...hiss...' seemed to be synthesized into some kind of melody in the darkness.
The next morning, Li Huigu sent water to the other party as usual.
"Brother Xiahou..." Li Huigu shouted towards the entrance of the cave, but no one responded. Li Huigu said in surprise: "Strange, doesn't this guy usually wake up very early?"
"Xia Houxuan!" She shouted louder towards the entrance of the cave, but there was still no response. Could it be that he had left? This was impossible. She seemed to have noticed something was wrong, and she couldn't help but panic, and immediately leaned over to
Looking down at the entrance of the cave, Xia Houxuan was indeed still lying at the bottom of the cave, but his face looked much paler, and something like a black ribbon seemed to be wrapped around the sleeves of his white Hu clothes.
The poisonous snake!
Li Huigu made a quick decision, immediately pulled out the dagger she had used to collect herbs from her waist, and threw it at the snake. The dagger flew lightly and skillfully, hitting the snake's head without missing a beat.
"Xia Houxuan..." Li Huigu suddenly panicked. The entrance to the cave was so high, how could she save him? Li Huigu anxiously shouted towards the bottom of the cave: "Xia Houxuan, don't be afraid, you will be fine. I am
Just go get the medicine basket..."
Li Huigu rushed home like flying. After a while, she hurried back to the entrance of the cave with a basket of medicine. She looked at the hole that was more than two feet long, hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth, and actually brought the medicine basket with her.
The basket just jumped down!
The moment she fell into the deep pit, Li Huigu felt a sharp pain in her left leg, and a thin stream of cold sweat immediately broke out on her forehead.
"Xia Houxuan... hold on..." Li Huigu ignored the injury to her left leg and endured the severe pain. She struggled to help Xia Houxuan up, unbuttoned his sleeves, and hurriedly began to check the injury on his left arm. Sure enough,
, Xia Houxuan's arm already had four small and eye-catching holes, which were bitten by poisonous snakes. She did not hesitate, grabbed Xia Houxuan's left arm, sucked hard on the wound bitten by the poisonous snake, and spit out the venom.
, and took out some herbs from the medicine basket, chewed them, and applied them carefully to the wound on Xia Houxuan's arm.
"Xia Houxuan...you can't die, hold on...this time...can I tell you a story this time...please don't die..." He has always been lively, cheerful and gentle.
The gentle and generous Li Huigu seemed to be confused at this moment, her face was covered with tears, and she couldn't stop mumbling something.
She didn't understand why she was so nervous. She cried and cried, and many childhood memories came to mind.
