Chapter 5 Chapter 5
"You, you are really messing around!"
Shen Yu was caught off guard by the attack, and it was too late to turn her head, her face and hair were drenched by a handful of water.However, this spring water is cool and cool, which relieves the heat.As soon as he raised his head, Zan Yuan was looking at him triumphantly, and Shen Yu said lightly, "Just wait!"
He untied the rope around his waist, took off his clothes, put them on the stone, and ran to the water's edge wearing only his underwear. He quickly took a bag of water in his arms and threw it at Zan Yuan.
"What are you doing!" Zan Yuan had prepared himself and hid to the side, but he still couldn't stand the other party's quick movements and his clothes were wet.
Zan Yuan was so angry that he didn't even bother to take off his clothes, so he plunged into the river.
"Are you good at water?" Shen Yu was standing in the river looking at him, and was a little surprised when he saw this.Zan Yuan seems to be a pampered young gentleman, but he never expected to have such a trick.
"Cut, I'll let you see my master's skills!" Zan Yuan just finished speaking, he swung his arms and slapped the water hard, causing high splashes.
Shen Yu immediately fought back, and the two looked at each other's drowned look, and laughed, the laughter was caught in the white water, and they also became wet.
The two quarreled for a long time, each other's clothes and hair were completely wet, so they simply took off their clothes and took a bath in the river.
Not to mention that Zan Yuan has never had this kind of experience of frolicking with peers and taking a bath in the river, even Shen Yu is the first time to be so crazy regardless of status. The two soak in the river naked/naked/body, watching Each other feels a little novel, but also a little inexplicably shy.
Clean water is always scarce, and I don't know how many days I haven't had such a good bath.When the two climbed up from the river, they were both reluctant to part.The summer nights are warm, the wind is always warm, and the clothes dry quickly.Shen Yu felt a little regretful when she was getting dressed, looked left and right, and sighed again and again: "I shouldn't be crazy with you, get dressed and go back, don't let people see you."
Zan Yuan was just excited: "I just drank a lot of water before coming up, and now I'm really not hungry anymore!"
"Of course." Shen Yu also smiled happily. After laughing, she did not forget to tell him: "Don't drink too much cold water. Many people will die of abdominal distension if they eat grass roots and drink more cold water."
Dying from bloating sounds a bit yearning.Just as Zan Yuan thought about it, he heard the next sentence: "The well water is not necessarily clean, especially in summer, if you drink unclean water, you will get sick."
Thinking of the family who threw the well, Zan Yuan felt like retching again.
"If you don't have anything to do, you should memorize silently, save your strength and hurry on your way. If you don't move around, you won't be hungry easily." Shen Yu glared at him again, but after the two of them finished the water fight together, the condemnation became a little weak.
Zan Yuan also realized this, and said with a smile: "I understand, if you don't go crazy, just recite poems, and read: 'The rice and rice are not full of bowls, and the hunger and sleep are cold to the dawn'."
"Isn't that getting hungrier the more you read?" Shen Yu realized that the other party was teasing her, and said in her mouth: "Okay, you are really..." Looking at the other party's round eyes and smiling face, she said nothing. No further words.
It wasn't just the two of them who were tested by hunger.It's just that other people don't have the fun of playing in the river.The next day when they huddled together for a meal, Shen Qi had just finished eating her share, and threw herself into Shen Yu's arms and acted like a baby: "Brother, I'm hungry."
The faces of adults were not good-looking, Shen Tai even lowered his face, and scolded viciously: "Sanlang, come back!"
Shen Qi trembled in fright, Shen Yu patted his head, and gave him another small half of his pitiful dry food.
Shen Yue couldn't stand it anymore, put down the chopsticks, and said: "San Lang is young, he can't eat much, Da Lang doesn't have to work hard to accommodate him."
"Yue Niang!" Before Shen Yue finished speaking, more than one voice called her.Her parents, Shen Rong and his wife, both looked at her reproachfully.
Dalang Shen He just sat silently, waiting for his father to speak.
Shen Qi didn't dare to take the rations, and didn't dare to speak anymore, so she could only shrink into Shen Yu's arms without moving.
"He is my younger brother. If I don't accommodate him, who else can I accommodate?" Shen Yu smiled calmly and answered without the slightest hesitation.He gently stuffed the dry food into Shen Qi's hands, and hugged his younger brother aside.
Shen Mu softened the serious expressions of his sons, and looked at his beloved eldest grandson in relief, with approval in his eyes.Shen Tai also bowed his head and stopped talking.
But at this time, Zan Yuan muttered in a moderate voice: "It is only natural for an elder brother to accommodate his younger brother, but I have never seen a father accommodate his son."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became tense again, Shen Yu said: "I'm not hungry, father just needs to eat enough."
Shen He nodded slightly, and Shen Mu cleared his throat: "Don't eat or sleep, don't talk, have you forgotten the teachings of the saints?" The family continued to eat quietly.
Only when the two of them were alone, Shen Yu explained helplessly to Zan Yuan: "You don't have to stand up for me. I don't feel wronged. The third brother lost his mother and lost his elder brother. Naturally, I, the eldest brother, need to take care of him more. a little."
"Who stands up for you, I obviously don't like it." Zan Yuan muttered the first sentence, but still replied unceremoniously: "He has no mother and his own father. Even if you are an elder brother, you can take care of him for the rest of your life." ?”
A lifetime...of course it cannot be done.Shen Yu was in a trance, and finally just smiled accommodatingly, "You're right, I'll take care of myself first, and don't say that in front of third uncle, okay?"
Zan Yuan didn't say yes or no, he just snorted and said: "I'm looking at it for your sake."
Hunger and quarrels are only the first hurdle, and there are other, more difficult ones waiting for them: as the summer heats up, the rain and mosquitoes also increase day by day.
The torrential rain first slowed down the pace of progress.
The mud on the road was soaked in water, making it slippery and soft. After walking for a long time, the soles of the shoes became a thick layer of mud. The legs became heavier and the feet became more and more slippery. If you are not careful, you will slip and fall.There are old and young among the fleeing crowd, and a fall can be a big or small problem. What's more, there is no guarantee that you won't get sick if you drive in the heavy rain.So I can only rest first, wait for the rain to stop, and scrape off the mud on the shoes by the way.
Seeing that Xiangzhou was getting closer, the group of people walked more and more slowly. The older ones were anxious but helpless.
The smell of rotting corpses and burned buildings soaked in rain is even more unbearable.No matter where I live, there is a sour smell nearby, and it is difficult to dry my body all day long.
Shen Yu repeatedly told Zan Yuan not to go out and drink water indiscriminately.However, there was still Xiao Erlang who was in the same company with diarrhea.Shen Mu and another elder with a little knowledge of the art of Qi and Huang took his pulse and shook their heads. Shen Yu quietly told Zan Yuan that it was dysentery, "If there is no medicine nearby, I'm afraid..."
The sick child was about the same age as Shen Qi, and Shen Yu's face was gloomy.Along the way, Zan Yuan also saw how the number of people in the team was dwindling day by day, so he could only silently pat him on the shoulder.
Death is not the worst thing. What is terrible is that when you die, you have nothing—clothes and food are left to your family, and you are lying alone in the sewage mud, with no sun.
The silt also has a benefit - for Shen Yu.
On this day, he wore a coir raincoat and went out to gather herbs, and when he came back, he scraped the mud with branches as usual.Looking at the mud and sand all over the floor, he was moved and wrote on the ground: Scholars must be resolute, and there is a long way to go.
"Benevolence is your own responsibility... Don't you know that if you are poor, you will be good for yourself, and if you are rich, you will benefit the world?" Zan Yuan murmured.Shen Yu didn't answer, Zan Yuan stared at it for a while, and suddenly said disgustedly: "What kind of characters are you writing! What style do you study?"
It was rare for Shen Yu to show a shy expression, "The handwriting of grandfather and father is here."
There were indeed a few copybooks in the past, but his elders also wanted to practice calligraphy, so it was not his turn.Later, it was given to the stationed gentlemen and scholars one after another, and there was nothing left.
Zan Yuan snorted, looked at the writing and shook his head, "Your writing is weak and bloated, without muscles and bones." Without waiting for Shen Yu's rebuttal, he held the branch by himself and wrote the same sentence. Silver hook, round and elegant.
Shen Yu was dumbfounded, her heart was beating fast.
Zan Yuan pointed out: "You should remember this first: 'Beginners should read big books first, not young ones. Those who are good at learning don't write, and those who are good at writing don't learn. Those who are good at writing are boney, those who are not good at writing are fleshy, and those who are strong and gluten are holy. , Those who are weak and have no tendons are sick.'”
"Those with many bones and little flesh are called tendon books, and those with many flesh and little bones are called ink pigs." Shen Yu couldn't help repeating, and his heart suddenly opened.His word is exactly "ink pig".
"Practicing calligraphy needs to be learned from everyone, first learn how to write. You should also pay attention to the utensils..." Zan Yuan glanced at the branch, and swallowed such things as "jueren rabbit hair", "decocted new stone" and "Dongyang fish roe". Back to the stomach. "If you can't pay attention to the stationery, just make do with it and make up for it with your writing skills—let me teach you."
Before Shen Yu could react, he grabbed Shen Yu's right hand holding the branch.His hands are a little smaller than Shen Yu's, which looks a little funny.But with a serious attitude, he took Shen Yu's finger and corrected his way of holding the pen, "The little finger means "reach", move it back, don't squeeze in front."
"Relax your fingers, don't be so stiff, think of the pen as another finger, so that you can operate freely..." He said while clinging to Shen Yu's hand, leaving a smooth line of words on the sand in front of him.
The sun and the moon are not flooded suddenly, and the preface of spring and autumn.But if the vegetation is scattered, I am afraid of the beauty's twilight.Abandon the filthy without being strong, why not change this?Take a gallop on a galloping horse, come to my Daofu to go first!
It is "Li Sao".Shen Yu blurted out and asked, "Do you still have two fonts?" The characters on the ground were not very similar to the one just now, beautiful and elegant, and floating like a phoenix.
"It's rare, but weird. Isn't it normal to have a font with multiple writing habits?" Zan Yuan said with a straight face.But the strength in his hands was a little loose, "One of them was given by my father, and the other was written by my brother."
Touching Zan Yuan's sad place, Shen Yu didn't ask any more questions, but just looked at the two lines of words carefully, couldn't help but look at his hand that was being held, with a dazed expression, "I really wrote this?"
Zan Yuan finally let go of him, dropped the branch, with bright eyes, a smile and a slight anger, "You still have more practice!"
The author has something to say:
"Beginners should write big books... those who are weak and have no tendons are sick" comes from Mrs. Wei's "Pen Zhentu", and the last sentence is also from this source. The original text is: "The pen must be taken from the rabbit's hair in the mountain, and it will be collected every month. The tip of the pen It is one inch long, five inches long in tube, and strong at the waist. Its inkstone is made of fried new stone, both moist and astringent, and the ink is floating and shining. Its ink is made of pine smoke from Mount Lu and antler glue from Daijun. It is more than ten years old. For those who are as strong as stones. Paper is taken from Dongyang fish eggs, which are soft, smooth and clean."
