Chapter 13 A talented man named Yuan Haowen

Li Dongyuan created Puji Xiaoxiao Decoction to treat plague in 1202 AD. Just a little later than this, a young man and some students were walking on the way to Bingzhou to catch the exam. It was a desolate autumn, and there were not many pedestrians in the desolate field. While marching, the young man saw a hunter on the side of the road in a daze. The young man was very strange and asked, "Dude, are you all right?" The hunter looked at the young man and said slowly, "I'm fine, but the thing in front of me is very strange." The young man was also very curious: "What's the matter? Let's hear it."

Hunter: "Today I caught a wild goose with a net and killed it. Unfortunately, it was originally a pair of wild geese, but one escaped." Young man: "What's so strange about that?" Hunter: "The strange thing is that the wild goose that ran away didn't fly away, but circled and flew over the dead goose, screaming incessantly. Then, it plunged down, hit the ground and died." The hunter looked blankly at the geese in his hand: "Do they also have a husband and wife relationship?" After the young man heard this, he was in awe of the wild geese: "It turns out that they not only have feelings, but also true feelings that are rare in the world!"

Feeling emotional, the young man bought two geese with money, buried them by the Fenshui River, and built a small mound, named Yanqiu. Then, he wrote the first poem to commemorate the pair of wild geese who lived and died forever. This poem has been passed down through the ages. The full text is as follows. 〖 Ask the world what love is, and teach life and death. Flying guests from all over the world, the old wings are cold and hot. Joy is fun, parting is bitter, and there are even more idiotic children. You should have something to say, there are thousands of miles of stratus clouds, thousands of mountains and snow at dusk, who is only shadowed.

On Hengfen Road, the lonely year of Xiaogu, the barren smoke is still flat. What's wrong with calling back the soul, and the mountain ghosts secretly cry about the wind and rain. The sky is also jealous, and if you don't believe in it, Yinger and swallows are all loess. Through the ages and ages, in order to keep it for the poets, they sang and drank wildly, and visited Yanqiu. 〗 This young man was called Yuan Haowen, and later became a generation of Wenzong. A few years later, he will meet Li Dongyuan, and then the two of them will become true friends, they encourage each other, and in the precarious war years, they use their actions to tell the future generations the preciousness of friendship.

Li Dongyuan, who played a certain role in the prevention and control of the plague, what will his life be like next? At this time, he didn't want to be a doctor yet, and he didn't need to face frowning patients every day.Well, it should be a very comfortable life to be an official and have money to spend. If you think so, you are wrong, God is cruel, as if to deliberately temper a person's will, it arranges one tragic disaster after another for this era, and in such an arrangement, few people will feel happy.
