Chapter 8 Chapter Eight: First Snow

Many years later, when people think of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, a middle-aged man wearing a flat sky crown and twelve white jade beads hanging in front of him will appear in front of his eyes. He is long and accurate, with a beautiful beard and beard.All in all, his face is magnanimous and majestic, but he can't say that he has any special characteristics. He is better than Chi You, who has "bronze head and iron forehead", "eight arms and eight toes", "human body and hooves, four eyes and six hands", and "eats sand and stones". On the face of it, he is very mediocre, similar to the virtuous monarchs of the past dynasties.He is also very smart, and has all kinds of new inventions and creations, and the wheels of boats and wheels are all out of his design.He also worked very hard for the country and the people, and built Zhuolu City into the most prosperous city in the Central Plains at that time.

In short, he became an icon. But in the era when Zhuolu City was newly built, Xuanyuan Huangdi hadn't realized that he would be honored as a great figure of the "ancestor" level, and naturally he would not deliberately create such an image.So he ruled freely in Zhuolu City according to his own nature. First of all, he was a guy from a war background, with a lot of physical strength, even though he was an old man, his arms were full of tendons when he rolled his sleeves. Secondly, although he is the son of Gongsun's Shaodian, he was born in a poor family, so he naturally acquired the habit of ordinary people who like to sit on the table with their feet up and make noises when eating.He also likes to drink and eat meat, likes the grand ceremonies of men and women everywhere, and likes people to praise his achievements.

Again, he likes young and beautiful women, but he is afraid of his wife, because his wife Xiling Leizu is his married couple. This yellow-faced woman played an important role in the history of the Yellow Emperor's fortune and is very powerful. Finally, the relationship between Huangdi and his ministers is not absolute. His ministers are all old brothers who fought together. Knowing all the embarrassing things about him when he was young, Huangdi did not dare to put on a too majestic posture. When Xuanyuan Huangdi entered our story, he just got up from the bed, stretched happily, put on a beautiful robe, and strolled into the hut.

Recently, everyone in Zhuolu City knows that the Yellow Emperor was diligent in state affairs and worked very hard.Every morning, when the ministers rushed to the Houtu Temple with sleepy eyes, they found that the Yellow Emperor's letters were spread out on the small table, the pen was still soaked in ink, and a small lamp on the table had almost burned the lamp oil dry.The maids said that Huang Di corrected the memorials last night until the early morning, and now he has not woken up from a nap, and everyone can only wait for him, so the ministers feel a little ashamed. But in fact, Huangdi just adjusted his living habits slightly, he divided his sleep into two parts.Every day after midnight, the Yellow Emperor got up, ran to the Houtu Temple, laid out the letters and ink pens, and adjusted the wick of the small lamp.After all the arrangements were completed, he went to the hut to relax, and then returned to the bedroom to sleep with the woman he had newly spotted in his arms.

He hoped to use this to tell those old brothers who fought with him in the past that he is no longer the Gongsun Xuanyuan he used to be, he is very diligent and hardworking, and the old brothers should also learn from his example. It is difficult to conquer the country and it is even more difficult to sit on the country. The Yellow Emperor understood this truth five thousand years ago. "Strange, why is there a sour smell in the hut?" Huang Di complained as soon as he squatted down. "My lord, what a coincidence, my humble minister is lucky." Someone said sincerely in the darkness beside him.

Huang Di was terrified, "Illusion? It must be an illusion! I remember I sent Cangjie to teach Proton how to read!" Cangjie was the nightmare of the Yellow Emperor. This guy was the first person in Zhuolu City who believed that the Yellow Emperor would live forever, so he invented a new thing called "Zijuzhu".According to Cangjie's thinking, people as holy as the Yellow Emperor, who ate, drank, sacked and slept with women, should be recorded, and left as a reference for future generations of Mingjun.So Cangjie would appear in any place that the Yellow Emperor could not think of, and honestly recorded it. After many years, Cangjie’s descendants have a collective name called historians, but they do not have the integrity of their ancestors. First-hand materials, but nonsense, "for the sake of the venerable".

So the Yellow Emperor often met Cangjie in the toilet, because he liked to talk to himself when he went to the toilet, and Cangjie had many things to record. The Yellow Emperor could not refuse Cangjie, because he had become the focus of attention of tens of thousands of people in Zhuolu City, and many people were waiting to read Cangjie's new daily life note, which was similar to how many years later people snapped up gossip weekly magazines.Cangjie would also use some cursive brushes to beautify the image of the Yellow Emperor, and the Yellow Emperor knew that this was also very important to him.

But Huang Di didn't believe that he would be immortal. "Cangjie...wasn't it you?" Huang Di lightly put his hands on his ears, waiting for an answer, and smiled uneasily, "Hahaha, it's not you, but you must tell me it's not you!" "Your Majesty is really wise! You guessed it right!" "Ouch!" Huang Di shrugged and pulled his head down. "My lord, are you alright?" "Fortunately, I just heard your voice a little weak. If I hadn't been in the army for many years, I would have fallen into the pit because of scaring you."

"Your Majesty is always strong and strong, and future generations of Ming Monarchs should be like this." There was a faint breeze blowing in the latrine, and Cang Jie squatted beside the Yellow Emperor, writing a lot.Huang Di was also squatting, clutching a ball of hay for cleaning, resting his chin on one hand, rolling his eyes. "Hey, Cangjie, haven't all our protons escaped?" "No! Absolutely not! They are all learning to write poems in praise of the King." "Have their poems been written well? Have you nothing to do?" "There is one named Feng Bo who is better, and the others have to wait for me to teach them."

Huangdi spread his hands, "Since you have something to do, why did you come to the hut to ambush me?" "Well, in addition to recording the daily life of the king, I am here to discuss the celebration with the king. Do you still remember this big event, the king? This is a big day for the four tribes to come to court. What kind of scale should we make it? " "Scale?" The Yellow Emperor became more energetic, "The celebration is a good day. Of course it must be big! It must be grand! It must be beautiful! It must have various fruits and melons, beautiful girls singing and dancing, first brew a thousand catties of old wine, and then chop two hundred A fat pig, put it on fire and roast it, everyone has fun! How can I make all of you drunk like this?"

"I mean that the tribes from all directions came to the court to offer sacrifices to the Heavenly Emperor in the five-party Xuantian Grand Ceremony." "The five-party Xuantian Grand Ceremony? I thought it was sixteen years since Daqing defeated the Ministry of Shennong." Huangdi lost interest. He didn't have much interest in this kind of diplomatic celebration. He had to maintain his dignity in front of outsiders, which was very difficult. Hard. He thought for a while, "I'll leave it to you to take charge, the more decent the better. Also, I'm going to wear a new suit of armor to participate, so I ask the wizard to pray to God for me and cast iron for my armor." "Okay, I've written it down." Cangjie nodded repeatedly. "Remember, what are you still squatting here for? Don't you do anything? Are you having diarrhea?" Huangdi waited for a long time, seeing that Cangjie didn't move. "I'm working hard... I'm numb from squatting for too long." Cangjie showed a bit of pain. In the morning, the first fine snow of this winter fell in the city of Zhuolu. Thousands of years ago, the Yellow River Basin was not as cold as it is today, and the cold winter was only two short months.During these two months, farming is not allowed, and it is not suitable to go out. Most people in Zhuolu City sleep at home with cats.The drunkards would soak in the warm wine shop and get drunk, and some drunkards would fall asleep as soon as they left the wine shop in the snow.The prime minister was very happy after the wind, so that in the spring of next year, there will be a large number of drunkards in the city.So he also drank and celebrated at home, imagining that he would turn Zhuolu City into a paradise without drunkards and slackers, where everyone worked hard and the city became more and more prosperous day by day. "After the wind, there are ideals." This is Huangdi's evaluation of him. But in Zhuolu City, there is a group of guys who have no ideals and do nothing all day long. They are the biggest heart disease after Fenghou. These people are called "protons". At this moment, a warm brazier was burning in the dormitory, and protons and their guards were lying sprawled on the ground covered with reed mats, most of whom hadn't woken up from last night's hangover.And those who were awake did not intend to study, the slips and ink pens were thrown all over the place, a group of people gathered together, and a shaking cup full of sweat was shaking quite vigorously in the middle. "Single! Single! Bet on single!" "Double! Double! Double! Open double open double!" "Damn it, I'll bet small! I don't believe you can open twelve big hands in a row!" This is a red-eyed one. "Cut! Didn't you know that Xing Tian from the Ministry of Shennong gambled sixteen small bets yesterday, and finally lost all the guys with him?" The young gentleman who shook the cup had the arrogance of looking down on the heroes, "On this gambling table, don't care Whether it's a young master or a great general, in short, I'm willing to gamble and admit defeat! I'll let you go!" It is said that the master squatted hard last night, and now he can't feel where his legs are, so the dormitory is a good day for a party. Yun Jin, who was dressed in white and snow-covered, knelt on the mat, a little embarrassed.Surrounding her were the bewildered gazes of young gentlemen, their gentle gazes flowing like spring water. "Talk one by one, one by one," Yun Jin said. "Princess Yunjin, you said you were healthy last month and you went to the countryside to pick wild flowers with me. But you have let me go for half a month." A young master said in a resentful tone. "But it's winter now, and there are no wild flowers in the suburbs," Yun Jin said awkwardly, "Next." "You can't rely on me, princess." The next young gentleman beamed with joy, "Princess promised to go with me to taste the good wine brewed by our family." "Ah? Did I say that..." The heroine twisted her long hair with her fingers and looked at the roof, showing a natural expression of stupefaction, "Eh? That's strange, why can't I remember it at all?" "Princess, you actually forgot! Woohoo, how heartless!" Shaojun tugged at Yunjin's sleeve. "Hey! Boy, I blame your parents for not having peach blossoms in my life. Seeing that you look like a toad, isn't it reasonable that Princess Yunjin refuses to date you? Don't talk about it. What's wrong with Ruanqing? Ruanqing you go Die?" Someone yelled. "Hey! There is nothing to love in life, let my life be like this, I will jump into the river when the river opens in spring!" "Go early, what are you still eating pancakes for? Princess, ignore him, let him go jumping, he can swim well! But princess," the proton who squeezed hard was a rough pie, with black and round nostrils With the spear-like nose hair in a daze, her face was full of sincerity, "Princess, you will not forget me, right? I helped the princess write poems and hand in homework! The princess promised that if I do this favor, she will swim with me of!" "Is it the young gentleman who wrote 'The little purple raindrops in three springs are dripping on my weak shoulders, how can you tell me not to miss you in this season of deep love and rain'?" The young gentleman smiled triumphantly at the brothers around him, full of the arrogance of a winner, "Is Xiaosheng's poems passable?" "But the master approved the homework I handed in... and said it was unqualified." Yun Jin said apologetically, "Then the young gentleman just didn't help me, so the matter of swimming together like water doesn't matter. ?” "How is it possible? Isn't my poem 10,000 times stronger than Feng Bo's 'The sun shines on the sword of the Yellow Emperor, and the sword of the Yellow Emperor shines like gold'?" Shaojun was furious. "The master said that even though I am a woman, I can't bear to write such pretentious poems. I was punished to rewrite 20 poems, and I was not allowed to use 'purple', 'light rain', 'passionate', 'weak' The lettering of..." Xing Tian sat behind Yunjin like a hill, maintaining order, "Come one by one! Everyone has three questions to ask, the princess is innocent, and everyone who has questions today will have their turn to answer." Suddenly a tornado rose from the snow at the gate of the Xueshe.In the tornado, a young man in blue and black hair descended from the sky by the wind.For a time, he had the same style, like a fairy flying from outside the sky. "Hey, Uncle Feng, didn't you just open your mind? Playing this again?" A young gentleman hummed dissatisfied. Feng Bo twisted his shoulders and stepped into the dormitory, with a proud face, "Princess, princess, it's finally snowing. You said that when it snows, you will go outside the city to build a snowman together. You can't release our pigeons too." ?” "Oh," Yun Jin finally nodded, "But isn't Master Yu going too? He hasn't come yet." "Don't wait for him," Uncle Feng waved his hand, "Do you know how the snow fell? That idiot Master Yu was in his home last night chanting spells and casting spells in order to go out with you. It only snowed in one night. It really snowed this morning. This is the first time that guy has used his family skills since he was enlightened, so love is omnipotent! But the guy is exhausted, and now Lie on the bed and can only pant." "But am I in love with him?" "Unrequited love is fine." "But does he miss me unrequitedly? I didn't see it." "A bear often drools at the duck, and the duck will ask the big brother if you want to eat me? Don't babble, are you going to build a snowman?" Uncle Feng lost his patience, "Let's use a huge snowman Remember the accomplishments of Taihao Department Shaojun Yushi! The heroes on the mountain will bless my dying brother!" "Then... Chi You will go and I will go." Yunjin finally let go. Dozens of pairs of hot, fierce and oppressive eyes looked at Chi You, if those eyes were sharp arrows, he would have been pierced into a hedgehog by now.And the hero Chi You in this story is like an old monk who is out of the world, sitting under the eaves in a daze.Drops of snow water hung from the ice edge under the eaves, and the snow light illuminated his foggy eyes. Yan Mei hooked her legs to the rafters, and hung upside down beside Chi You, a strand of black hair swept across Chi You's face, "Chi You, why are you so dazed?" Chi You scratched his head, "I have nothing to do." "A lot of princes are asking your Princess Yunjin to go out for a walk in the snow." The goblin blew on Chi You's face, and at the same time flew a erratic look towards Yunjin, "Are you still here in a hurry?" "Oh, Yun Jin is very lazy, she definitely won't go out with them." The male protagonist who has attracted much attention said confidently. Except for the young masters who played dice, everyone else fell silent. They all looked at Chi You, 30% of them showed sad eyes, 30% of them showed contempt, and 30% of them showed angry eyes of "do you want to die", Another 10% of people looked left and right, wondering if they heard it wrong. "He's really an idiot!" Chen Feng's Shaojun sighed. "Still an idiot who eats too much and occupies too much." Shaojun with the Xiong family also sighed, "Is this the so-called protagonist mode? Girls like us who have worked so hard and never caught up, always look at Throw it on a man who is always messing around with a long-legged woman? Speaking of which, where did this woman come from? Why haven’t I seen it before? Her blue hair is so beautiful!” "It seems that I can't wait for the river to open in spring, so I have to jump into the river now!" The young gentleman who was eating a big cake said firmly: "By the way, you use the word 'churn' very well, which can reflect Chi You The sensuality is not special!" He wiped the cake crumbs from his mouth, turned to the charm over there, and said in a voice like a lover's saint, "Hey, the girl with long legs and long hair over there, do you like poetry by the way?" Chi You felt that those noisy voices had nothing to do with him, as if there was a transparent barrier separating him from these people.He turned his head and blew on the water drops hanging from the ice edge. The water drops were broken and flying, and behind the sprinkling of crystals was the plain-clothed Zhuolu Field thousands of miles away. The vast white earth, the vast white sky, the vast white snow falling like feathers. "It's snowing again..." Chi You said. Chi Mei thinks that Chi You has something on his mind this snowy morning, but she doesn't want to ask, she thinks Chi You's heart twists and turns like a spiral snail shell, which is the most annoying thing.In the past few hundred years, she has always lived the heroic life of a goblin. She takes a bath when she is dirty, sleeps when she is sleepy, and swallows the essence of the sun and the moon to fill her stomach when she is hungry. something.It's a pity that this guy didn't take the initiative to tell him, and Yan Mei was impatient and always asked him, so she turned her head away in anger, and a huge black shadow enveloped Yan Mei.She turned her head to look, and saw a tall and burly figure standing in front of the eaves.A big man with a bear's body and a tiger's pace, with eyes full of spirit, stood silently in front of the eaves, staring at Chi You quietly, just like the gaze of Princess Yunjin. Yan Mei saw the guy's face clearly, and felt a little terrified, and the legs hooked on the eaves were a little weak. Before she turned over and fell to the ground, the big man said in a soft and flattering tone: "Young Master, can I borrow money from you?" "Since you have positioned yourself as a masculine masculine, can you stop speaking in such a voice that makes even female goblins feel nasty?" Qi Mei made a grimace at Gong Gong. Another larger black shadow blocked Gonggong, the eyes of the big man like a god glared with anger, and Yue Zhiyuan kept blocking Gonggong's retreat.Gong Gong turned his head cautiously. "There's nothing wrong with asking for money!" Xing Tian viciously grabbed Gong Gong's collar, "Last time you borrowed money, and I ate vegetarian for half a month, and you came to borrow money again. You want me to be vegetarian? Don't let people live?" Xing Tian pulled out the battle ax from his waist and glared. "You have to think clearly that you can't use force in public places!" Gonggong said tremblingly, "Don't rely on you being a general..." Xing Tian stuck the ax blade to his neck, "Who will use force? I'm just telling you, if you dare to say the word 'borrowing money' again, I will kill myself in front of you! Anyway, I don't care about the life of always being a vegetarian. Already!" "Big man," a small hand poked out from behind Xing Tian and patted the back of his head, "Are you depressed because you lost money to me? Don't be impulsive!" "Don't bother, don't bother," Xing Tian slapped the green-haired little head, "I'm not impulsive! I have to figure out the meat and vegetables for dinner before I can settle accounts with you." The ghost had no choice but to hook Xingtian's neck with two arms, revealing his small head, showing two sharp white teeth, and nodded to the young masters. "Hey... monster... monster!" The young master of the Chen Feng family fainted on the ground while whirling. The whole school was frightened by his screams, and countless pairs of eyes looked at this side. With a bang of the demon's head, Yao Yao was pulled from Xing Tian's back, "I told you to hide honestly, what are you doing out here? Don't you know that you have the face of a monster?" "It's stuffy inside." The little goblin said aggrievedly. Princess Yunjin, who had been kneeling on the mat, suddenly jumped up, without any trace of elegance and serenity, she stepped at the door to block the sight of the protons and smiled sweetly, the faces of the protons blushed happily, and their hearts beat Play the snare drum.Uncle Feng, who was a step ahead of her, obviously didn't have the wisdom to stop the commotion, but rushed up and aimed at the source of the commotion, Young Master Chen Feng, and kicked him twice, "Illusion! That's your illusion!" Taking advantage of Yun Jin blocking everyone's sight, Chi You ripped off the pocket on Xing Tian's back, covered the sprite in it, picked it up, turned around and ran away.His brothers and the little princess followed in his footsteps. The heroes of the Knife Hilt Society, who are all too familiar with morning jogging, galloped once again on the streets of Zhuolu City with two goblins, a general, and a princess.If, we assume, Chi You can die of old age peacefully on the bed, remembering his green years, he will tell his children and grandchildren, I don’t know why, I was always running, like chasing, and like escaping, always There are some reasons why I can't stop. "Young Master, I'm sorry." Witch whispered in his pocket. "It's okay, it's okay, just bear with it, I'll take you to a place where no one is around and then let you out." Chi You said. "Can I have a small request?" "What?" Chi You was a little surprised. "Could you change the princess or Meimei to hug me... your ribs are a little tight..." "Hey... Hey... Just borrow some money, borrow some money... don't be so exaggerated, right? I will pay it back..." Gong Gong rubbed his two fingers, looking at the backs of those who left in the dust.
