Chapter 33 Brother Trance in the Deep Mountains

The first shots of 1911 were fired early, but little known. It's been a hundred years, the man who fired the first shot, you are still silently guarding the depths of the mountain, not showing off, not greedy for credit, others will write the credit in the textbook, but you will bury the legend in the loess. At the junction of Hubei and Sichuan, among the high mountains, there is an inconspicuous small town. In this inconspicuous small town lived a very conspicuous "strange man" - Wen Chaozhong. Why "odd"? The wonder of a strange man is only because he likes to read books, classics and history collections, banned books, books that cannot be banned, classics worth reading, and street stall books that are not worth reading, all of them are read.After reading the one at home, I will borrow it from the next door, and after reading the one next door, I will find the next door...

Wen Chaozhong regards the book as prey.Whenever a book dealer passed by, he would immediately rush over like a hungry wolf, his eyes glowing green, and he would plunge headlong into the pile of books.When the meal time is up, go home with the book dealer, and treat the food for free. Of course, the books still have to be returned to the book dealer. What's so strange about a good kid who spends every bit of his time on books and loves to study?This only shows that the spiritual and cultural quality of the local people is far behind Wen Chaozhong's reading speed.There is a popular local saying: It is difficult to find a man who will give birth to a child; it is even more difficult to find a book that Wen Chaozhong has never read.

Strange people not only study, but are superior in all aspects. Wen Chaozhong brought his bride home when he was seventeen years old. Seventeen years old, that's still a student brother.But Wen Chaozhong finished reading all the books, what else could he do besides getting married and having children? In fact, Wen Chaozhong's ulterior motives are not about drinking, the bride is the foil, and the bride's father is the protagonist, because he is a leading bibliophile.Put on my hijab, bring your books, the bride and a box full of books came to Wen's house.Of course, I didn't read a book at night and went straight into the bridal chamber.

From then on, Wen Chaozhong had more time to be with books.Watching and watching, knowing where you are, slapped the table and applauded.The wife was startled, thinking that her husband had gone "crazy".Advise him to pay more attention to rest for the sake of the next generation, combine work and rest, and maintain a healthy body. I am planning to have a baby. Wen Chaozhong continued to pat the table: "If you don't read the books of the world, how can you know the principles of the world?" I read a lot, and I speak in a polite manner.However, communicating with your wife can be completely oral, which helps to cultivate the relationship between husband and wife.

One day, two days; one year, two years.The wife was a little unhappy: "Reading is a good thing, I have no objection. But you have to apply what you have learned, turn waste into treasure, arm your mind with knowledge, and create wealth." Wen Chaozhong was still shaking his head there: "There is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book." The madam finally couldn't bear it any longer, and shouted loudly: "Take Yan Ruyu away, I only want the golden house!" Women's yelling is really useful sometimes, Wen Chaozhong is going to find the golden house, although he is 100% unwilling.But there is no way, the book collection at home has been notarized for marriage, and the copyright belongs to the wife.If you want to continue reading, you can only be obedient.

Where is the golden house?In the examination room.Scholars can only change their fate through the imperial examinations and find a golden house for the whole family.But the exam required money, and the bibliophile father-in-law lent it to him without saying a word.You have read all the books and exams, of course I believe you. Sure enough, if he passed the exam, even though he was only a scholar, in a remote small village, he would be honored and welcome many guests.However, Wen Chaozhong said lightly in classical Chinese: "This monarch's cage technique is so honorable." Since he can say this, Wen Chaozhong doesn't care about fame.According to the local custom, one must give the county magistrate a big red envelope to pay homage to the top of the mountain in order to obtain meritorious service.The county magistrate waited anxiously for the red envelope, but Wen Chaozhong ignored it.He is very straightforward, if he wants money or not, if he wants fame, I will give it to you.

Wen Chaozhong returned to his hometown again. Although he failed to bring back the golden house, his strength has been proved to his wife.But we can’t just read books anymore. Wen Chaozhong reclaimed a few acres of wasteland, farmed the fields every day, and sang every day: "Pick off the top, get out of the cage, and the roc returns to the mountain. How can you know that it is not a blessing?" In the field, I saw any farmer uncle who was farming and caught him. He talked endlessly, denounced the darkness of the society in classical Chinese, and mourned the hardship of the people's livelihood.

He left early, but he was still there, full of emotion, weeping and complaining, fascinated. It seems that in addition to being strange, it is also a bit strange. Since everyone thinks so, Wen Chaozhong called himself a "trance Taoist" and wrote a motto: "People say that they are not in a trance, but they are in a trance all their lives. The only thing that is in a trance is that there are people who are not in a trance. The rest are in a trance , I'm afraid I haven't caught it yet." Since then, in the depths of the mountain, "Brother Trance" has gradually risen.

From then on, Wen Chaozhong stopped farming and singing, and began to treat diseases and save lives. Heal the sick and save the sick?This one too? Of course, all knowledge is in books, so a person who loves reading doesn't understand medicine?Wen Chaozhong's family has practiced medicine for generations, and he has been deeply influenced since he was a child. He is good at everything.At the same time, combining years of book knowledge and clinical practice, many difficult and miscellaneous diseases have been cured, and even some incurable diseases can be cured by hand. Since then, Wen Chaozhong has another nickname: Wen Shenxian, the god who heals diseases and saves people.

However, Wen Chaozhong not only saves the body, but the ultimate goal is to save the soul.He used every opportunity to see a doctor to instill his own "trance theory" into the patients.The patient was not very good at thinking, but after his trance, he nodded in a trance involuntarily.Every time at this time, Wen Chaozhong danced with excitement, and conquered a sleeping heart with "trance theory". After a long time, patients generally found a rule: they don't need to pay for medical treatment, but they must chat with Wen Chaozhong; they must nod while chatting, nod in a daze, and finally show a daze smile.

It's not over yet, Wen Chaozhong not only saves people's hearts, but also manages people's clothes. Every time he goes out to practice medicine, he always wears several thick layers of clothes.It's not that I'm afraid of the cold, it's that I'm afraid of others being cold.Whenever he saw poor people without clothes shivering in the cold wind, he took the initiative to take off one of his clothes. After a long time, everyone knew that Wen Chao loved to take off his clothes. As a result, a moving scene appeared, many poor people who lacked clothes lined up in the cold wind, looking forward to Wen Chaozhong's arrival.Wen Chaozhong took off less and less clothes, and every time he went home, he only had a single shirt left, his lips were purple and his face was blue from the cold, and he was shivering. When someone else's disease is cured, he falls down, not because of illness, but because of freezing. Madam looked distressed, and cried with tears and snot: "Ever since I got married, I know that you are a person of high moral character and a pure person. Wan, if you want to save others, you must first save yourself, your body is important!" My father-in-law also persuaded: "It's hard to cover the world with a piece of clothing, and it's hard to fill the mouth with a mouthful of food." The father-in-law's words finally awakened Wen Chaozhong's mind that had been in a trance for a long time.No matter how many clothes I have, no matter how I take them off, even if I take them off, I still can't warm all the poor people who line up. why?Wen Chaozhong fell into a deep trance.Fearing that he would always be in a trance, his father-in-law advised him to take a walk outside to broaden his horizons.It just so happened that Sichuan Province opened the "Tongxing Normal School" this year, and Wen Chaozhong wanted to apply for this new school and try his own strength. Then let's go. Wait, Wen Chaozhong didn't bother.The old way is to borrow from your father-in-law. As expected of a genius, Wen Chaozhong handed in the paper and the examiner was very satisfied.But the more I looked at it, the more strange it became, the answer sheet was written in cursive instead of block letters; looking at the name again, it was gentle and strict.After pondering for a long time, since he is gentle, why should he be strict? Who is gentle to whom, and who is strict to?They are all unsolvable mysteries, listed in the second class. In fact, the examiner is a careful and good person. If he is listed in the first class, he has to submit it to the provincial government for evaluation. There are too many discordant words in the paper, so it is not good to cause trouble. Thanks to this unknown examiner, he saved the short-lived legend and left the first shot in the future. The second class is also good, everyone congratulates Wen Chaozhong.He sighed: "I haven't sold the dragon-slaying plan in my life, and I want to make great achievements after thousands of miles." Very dissatisfied. If you are not satisfied, you can go back, but you have run out of money, what should you do? I heard that the county magistrate of nearby Fuling was a passer in the imperial examination, and he usually likes to dance and write, so that he can make friends with scholars.Write a letter to praise him, and ask for a red envelope by the way. Wen Chaozhong expressed his emotion and depression for so many years mainly in a trance, eloquently and coherently.Finally wrote: "Looking at Li Zhanhan, today I still raise my eyebrows at Yingchi; Ping Ou Zhenya, when can I exhale at Daqian?" Comparing myself to Li Taibai, I also "Ping Ou Zhenya", generous and bold. The county magistrate in a small place had never seen the world, so he was immediately stunned, and even more stunned.I'm so talented, it's hard for someone to praise me, and Li Taibai is the second.He personally visited the hotel and practiced the trilogy himself. The first step is to send the book, the original pear flower style, published at public expense, and a limited collection of signed copies. The second step is to send a package, round-trip travel expenses plus condolence money. The third step is to charter a boat and personally send someone to escort you home. Except for books, Wen Chaozhong accepted everything, because he despised publishing books at public expense, just as he despised eating and drinking at public expense. The county magistrate didn't say anything, how did he know it was public money? Needless to say, you know everything. Have you ever heard of a leader who publishes a book at his own expense? After returning to his hometown, Wen Chaozhong finally understood that injustices in the world cannot be solved by taking off his clothes, nor can he be understood in a trance at home.No matter how many books you read, it is to cope with the exam; if you want to go out and go to the vast sky, there is a lot to do. From then on, Wen Chaozhong was no longer seen in his hometown, and he ran outside whenever he was free. Wen Chaozhong traveled to Sichuan, Guizhou, Hunan and Hubei, visited famous mountains and great rivers, and visited heroes in grasslands; he learned how to make bombs and weapons from the new army, and learned swordsmanship from martial arts teachers. He heard chickens dance at three o'clock every day. Three Swords. Father-in-law praised: "If a person has ambition, Mount Tai can be moved!"
