Wu Sidao, the lame master of Tian Wenjing's mansion, had a premonition that disaster was coming. He no longer hid, went directly to Governor Tian Wenjing, and spread out a paycheck of five thousand taels. This is to break his face, and even more to force him to pay for his release.
Tian Wenjing was afraid of ruining his reputation as an "upright official", so he gritted his teeth and threw out the banknotes. His words were tempered with ice: "Take the money! Sir, you have a sick body, high mountains and dangerous roads, so you can... Take care of yourself!"
After getting the money, Wu Sidao took his maid Ruyue and fled that night. Like two shadows, they slipped out of the house, jumped on a small awning boat, and went into the deep mountains of the south of the Yangtze River. Behind him is Tian Wenjing's murderous intention and the whirlpool that cannot go back.
The emperor sent no one to pursue him. No one knew about Nian Gengyao's death, and his student Li Wei did not find a teacher. The Thirteenth Prince Yi wanted to persuade the emperor to ask Mr. Wu to come back to relieve his difficulties, but the emperor only replied coldly: "Things that are broken will not be the same even if they are glued back together."
In the mountains, life is hard. Several thatched huts, surrounded by bamboo fences. Wu Sidao dragged his weak leg to teach a few urchins in the village at the foot of the mountain how to read. Ruyue carried a bamboo basket on her back, climbed mountains and waded in rivers, picked herbs and medicines, and also treated mountain people with headaches and fever.
People say that the ravine in Mr. Wu's chest may have been flattened by the mountain wind. Only Ruyue knew that in the dead of night, he often sat alone in front of an oil lamp playing a game of chess, stroking an abandoned piece with his fingertips, and occasionally there was a glimmer of light in his eyes that no one noticed.
The big things outside spread to this remote part of the mountain, and become just a few gossips in the hunter's mouth. They guarded a little brown rice, a basket of medicinal herbs, and a few old books, listening to the flow of the stream and watching the clouds gather and disperse under the eaves of the thatched house. The husband and the herb collector just settled down in this green mountain and became roots.
Reader comments
The writing is delicate and the plot is ups and downs, reshaping Wu Sidao and bringing a new reading experience.
"Mr. Wu", the man who planned every plan in the Yongzheng Dynasty, ended up as a herb collector in the mountains? The novel skillfully captures the blank space in history and describes the life of Wu Sidao and Ru Yue after they disappeared completely. The wisdom that stirred up the storm in the past has turned into the indifference of understanding the human feelings in the mountains and wilds. The stormy waves finally end in still water. In the process of collecting herbs, cooking smoke and staying in tacit understanding, we explore what true letting go and perfection are. Hear the thunder in the silent place, and see the profound in the ordinary.
The writing is good. I like this kind of text. After seeing the protagonist and idol, I decided to finish this novel. The author has a good writing style. He should be sharp and sharp, sharp and sharp, soft and gentle [like], it is worth finishing.
