Chapter 2 Chapter Two Brocade

The rain stopped. The waves of grass are undulating in the wind, and the wild of Zhuolu is so big that it is connected to the sky.A river meanders westward, clear and cold, flowing under Chi You's feet. An old tree seemed to be bent over by the heavy weight of the sky, leaning across the water and almost falling down.Chi You sat on a slightly swaying tree branch, holding his shoes and shaking his feet.A swimming fish slid past his feet with a "chuck" sound, and suddenly disappeared. Chi You raised his head, and saw the shimmering fine water waves going to the distance, and the sunlight jumped along with the water waves like broken gold.

A wisp of oily cooking smoke rises from behind the grassy slope not far away, and someone is grilling there. In addition, the entire vast wilderness was so empty that there was no one to be seen, only the twelve-year-old child was shaking his bare feet, and the branches of the tree were babbling and falling under him. Master Yu thinks that Chi You is a bit strange and not suitable for mixing in the underworld. First of all, the heart is too soft, such as a duck, if Chi You feeds it, Chi You will never drink the duck soup made by this duck, although he likes to drink duck soup very much.Yu Shi thinks this is simply stupid. In Yu Shi's eyes, when the duck is still shambling, it is already a delicious duck soup.As for feeding the ducks, it's purely to add luster to the soup, almost like adding salt.

What's worse is that Chi You likes to ask why. "Why does it rain in the sky?" "Why does the river flow eastward?" "Why do people die?" Chi You didn't pass the time with these idiot questions, Master Yu felt that he really wanted to clarify these questions.Master Yu thinks that there shouldn’t be so many reasons in the world, not always a cause and effect, why should everything have a reason? Thinking of this, Master Yu always felt his head was as big as a bucket. He thought that Chi You would only end up with two endings in the long run, one is to become a lunatic, and the other is to become a philosopher.

Chi You later finally verified Rain Master's prophecy, he was a lunatic and a philosopher at the same time - he became a madman. A head poked out from behind the grass, just in time to see Chi You sitting on the branch in a daze.A very wild and handsome man, if clothes were not an issue - he wore a copper basin. His name is Xing Tian. Chi You thinks that Xing Tian is an incredible man, and Master Yu and Feng Bo also admit that Chi You has a guard that is almost miraculous.When Chi You met Xing Tian this morning, it was equally unexpected.At that time, people all over the street were clamoring to catch prostitutes, the three of them were dispersed by the crowd, Chi You looked around in a daze, and saw someone lift the chicken coop, someone turned over the water tank, and someone got into the dog hole.These people seem to want to dig three feet into the ground of Zhuolu City to find out the prostitutes.

Chi You thought that they just robbed some bacon, they were not prostitutes, and it was not worth mobilizing so many people. Fortunately, no one seemed to notice him.So Chi You tiptoed into an alley and hid behind a sunken earthen wall.That was his geomantic treasure land. Whenever the jujubes were ripe, Chi You would put a lot of them in his pockets and go there to eat against the earthen wall. No one would find there to disturb him. But he suddenly saw Xing Tian.There are only two things in Xing Tian's body, one is the copper basin that covers his buttocks, and the other is the cigarette in his mouth.Chi You said Xing Tian why are you here?Xing Tian took a puff of cigarette and said, "The sun is really nice, I'll bask in it." Chi You looked up at the rainy sky.

Chi You and Xing Tian came out cautiously until the voices of the people dispersed.At that time, Yu Shi and Feng Bo had disappeared, so Xing Tian proposed to go out of the city to roast bacon. "Young Master, are you thinking about something again? Stop thinking about it, your head seems to be getting bigger and bigger." Xing Tian was very concerned about Chi You. "But your head is not small, is it?" Chi You retorted, "I don't think you've ever used it." "I also liked thinking when I was young," Xing Tian scratched his head, "Later..."

Chi You opened his eyes wide curiously. "Later, I felt that the most attractive thing about me was not my intelligence, but my appearance." Many years later, Xing Tian became famous for his "mighty will", as evidenced by a poem: "Xing Tian dances with relatives, and his fierce will is always there." However, the Xing Tian that Chi You knew was only the famous killer of young women in Zhuolu City. Like all teenagers with a conscience, Chi You didn't think there was anything wrong with joining the underworld gang of Yu Shi and Feng Bo, but it seemed very unheroic and dirty to hook up with young women all over the city.Master Yu said that the heroes on the holy mountain are also the most taboo about this. They just practice guns and sticks to beat their bodies all day long, and they don't have any interest in female sex.

But Xing Tian has his own set of theories. Xing Tian said that life must be fun, otherwise why don't you die?In Zhuolu City, I think this is the only thing that is more interesting, Shaojun, do you think I should give up my only pleasure and jump into the river? Chi You said that if there is no woman in the place where you live, why don't you just jump into the river?Xing Tian said yes, then my life would be too gloomy, and then no one would stop me. Once a person admits to death, there is nothing he can do. Chi You doesn't want Xing Tian to jump into the river, so he no longer interferes with his relationship with the widow as a young master.Xing Tian is one of the happiest people in Zhuolu City. The men hate him so much that their teeth itch, but they still imitate his attire.People with a shield and an ax stuck in their waist can be seen everywhere on the street. Since Xing Tian came to Zhuolu, Zhuolu City has become a big ax gang.

Chi You thinks that life's fortunes are really unpredictable, and they are completely composed of one chance after another. If there hadn't been the Kuafu family rebellion that swept across the south, then he would still be staying in Jiuli. As the young master of the Shennong Department, his life would be considered comfortable, at least he would not have to rob a deli.And if Grandpa hadn't insisted on sending Xing Tian, ​​who only had muscles but no brains, to watch over him, then Chi You might be sitting opposite a handsome and resolute general, with the sky as the curtain and the earth as the seat, talking about the vastness of the ancient world and boundless.Then he would be a great philosopher, not a robber.

He deeply felt that life was a ridiculous drama, and fate was his fate, but he was powerless to change it, so he could only sit there and wait to see what would happen to him.Just like a small umbrella of a dandelion, whether it can germinate on the soil, whether it germinates on the flower bed or by the side of the latrine, all depends on what kind of wind blows in the spring of that year.Of course, a big dandelion always has offspring, because it will form many small umbrellas, and then give them all to the wind to choose. Chi You thought that the Ministry of Shennong always had a future, because there are many children like Chi You in the world at this moment.Even if he landed by the latrine, after all, there are still lucky children who land on the flowers.

But is it too cruel for the little umbrella that fell by the latrine?Even if it can't grow into a towering tree, it also has a dream of swaying in the breeze. Chi You likes to fantasize when he is extremely bored.Sometimes he would think that his grandfather would drive a carriage to pick him up on the first day of the next month, and sometimes he would think that he was born to be an unusual person, and he would conceive a dream to him on his birthday in a certain year, so that He became a hero of all ages.Many, many first grades of junior high school have passed, but grandpa did not send a carriage to pick him up. From the age of six to twelve, he was still helpless. Chi You stopped talking to Xing Tian, ​​took a deep breath, and stared at the vast Zhuolu Plain with wide eyes, wanting to see the next opportunity to change his life "whoosh" popping out from that corner. Yun Jin sat sideways on her pony, quietly looking up at the sky of Zhuolu Field. She imagined herself as a swallow gliding across the sky on the wind, and people could only follow her with eyes instead of bows and arrows.When she was thirsty, she went to the Li Spring in the east to drink a few sips of water, and when she was hungry, she ate some crystal clear bamboo rice. These are things that Phoenix likes to do, but Yunjin doesn't like Phoenix, because she thinks Phoenix is ​​too fancy, no matter what It is a silly bird in red and green.So Yun Jin decided not to perch on the tung tree like Phoenix. When she felt sleepy, she would try her best to fly to the sky, to the highest point in the sky.She spread her wings and slept peacefully in the high sky, and the wind took her to unknown places. No one can find her, and no one can hurt her. Yunjin came from Qiongsang, the capital of the Shaohao tribe, thousands of miles away from Zhuolu.Yunjin is very happy that she left Qiongsang, but Yunjin doesn't like going to Zhuolu.What Yun Jin likes most is the time on the road, and it is best to never end it, because at this time she does not belong to Qiongsang, nor does she belong to Zhuolu, she is free. The pony turned around a grassy slope, and Yunjin saw Xiaohe, a dumb child sitting on a tree with a crooked neck, staring into the distance without blinking, and banging on the trunk with a rusty knife. "Hey! Idiot on the tree, which way do we go to Zhuolu City?" Yun Jin said. Chi You turned his head in surprise, and saw the little girl riding on a pony, wearing a cloudy white dress, playing with her skirt with her fingers, as if she was really sitting on a cloud in the sky. Her eyes are not very bright, but they are very deep, like ancient mirrors. "Idiot?" Chi You muttered dissatisfied. When the little girl in white suddenly appeared in front of him and spoke, Chi You was looking around, concentrating on observing the world, to see what kind of things were driving his life. At this time Yun Jin appeared and interrupted his observation.Although Chi You was indeed a very talkative child before he became a demon, he still felt very unhappy. He was doing a very meaningful thing to gain insight into the universe, but this little girl interrupted him, making him feel very unhappy. Very disappointing. "Hey, did you hear that? I said how to get to Zhuolu City." "You answer me three questions and I'll tell you." "Okay, idiot, what do you want to know?" "Why does it rain in the sky, why does the river flow eastward, why do people die?" Chi You didn't know the name Sphinx.That guy lives in Egypt and likes to ask passersby to guess riddles, and if he can't solve his riddle, he eats the passerby.Later, a master guesser named Odysseus guessed the answer, and the Sphinx jumped down from the mountain in shame. Sphinx should really be ashamed of his stupidity, because riddles always have answers, and things with answers will definitely be guessed, so he asked passers-by to guess riddles because he was tired of living and wanted to die. He should ask questions with three philosophical propositions like Chi You, so that he will be invincible-in fact, most philosophical propositions have no answers at all.Perhaps it is because they are too profound, and the lifespan of philosophers throughout the ages is too short. They all died before they found the answer. Chi You threw all three questions to Yunjin at once.Of course he was not interested in eating this little girl who was like a white cloud, he just wanted to disgust her. Chi You remembered that when he asked Xing Tian these three questions last time, Xing Tian's face turned pale, like an eggplant that Qiu Shuang had beaten, and then he choked his throat and retched a few times, looking very uncomfortable.This made Chi You deeply astonished at the lethality of these three questions. Yun Jin was silent. This silence made Chi You feel very uneasy.He originally thought that Yun Jin would be dizzy, and then shouted palely: "Bah! What an idiot!" But everything is silent.Yunjin looked down at the grass, looked up at the sky, followed the flowing water to the clouds in the sky, a strange brilliance shone in those ancient mirror-like eyes. She murmured, "It turns out that some people think about these things too..." Ten-year-old Yun Jin seemed to have waited for thousands of years for this sigh. Clouds roll in the sky. "It rains because the clouds are crying. The river flows east because it is going to find the home of the sun. People will die..." Yun Jin turned to look at Chi You, "But why do people live?" Chi You opened his mouth.He was stunned for a moment, as if a martial arts master sent out a palm with all his strength, but was completely bounced back by the opponent's skill. "Why do people live?" Chi You felt at a loss.Why do people live?If not for the meal. Yunjin looked at the little idiot in surprise, his eyes were suddenly full of confusion, like a faint cloud rising from Lingyun Mountain.He sat on that tree branch and looked into the distance silently, knocking on the branches of the old tree with the rusty knife in his hand, like a sculpture of a thinker. "Ah! Idiot! What are you chopping?" Yun Jin suddenly shouted. It's too late.Chi You suddenly felt his body lighten, his whole body lost weight, and then with a "plop", he fell into the river where the pieces of gold jumped. The kitchen knife of Yushi’s house is of course not sharp, but Chi You has already stomped on the branch he was sitting on hundreds of times, and what’s worse is that he is still sitting on the side close to the treetop. What's more, he can't swim yet.
