Collection of Huaxia: the beginning of the inventory of the top ten ancient figures

"Is he alright!"

"It should be. Although Xu Xiake couldn't walk in his later years, he was still alive."

"It hurts, he didn't do what he wanted to do after all."

"No, in fact, he has already done it, he has climbed to the top of that mountain!"

In the picture, with a flash of the camera, Xu Xiake has been brought back to the chieftain's residence in Yunnan.

In the chieftain's mansion, several people were busy. A young man asked a doctor to come out of the house. The doctor stroked his beard and said, "His leg is about to fail, and he won't be able to walk for a few months. It's better Don't let him get out of bed and walk. Take care of him and hope he can get back up."

The young man cupped his hands and said, "Thank you doctor, you go back first, and I will tell Mr. Xu."

The doctor left, and the young man returned to his room.

Xu Xiake was lying on the bed. He looked at the young man with his eyes open and said, "Thank you for saving me."

The young man smiled and said: "Mr. Xu, you are welcome. It was another Mr. Lin who saved you. He has already left. Before he leaves, I want you to take good care of yourself. This is the chieftain's mansion. My name is Mu Yi. I am the eldest son of the chieftain here." .”

Mu Yi supported Xu Xiake to sit up, Xu Xiake cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, little friend Mu, for letting you worry."

"No, sir, we all know you. I often read the Jizu Mountain Chronicles you wrote."

Xu Xiake smiled and said, "Thank you, little friend."

Mu Yi smiled and sat on the stool next to him. Xu Xiake looked at his leg with a frown and asked, "Little friend, my leg?"

Mu Yi was stunned for a moment, hesitant, but still chose to speak out.

"Sir, the doctor said that your leg has hope of recovery, but I hope you will not get out of bed and be unable to move for several months."

Xu Xiake nodded. He could feel his legs. Although the pain was still unbearable, at least the legs had not been completely abolished.

Mu Yi looked at Xu Xiake and said, "Sir, when we were looking for you, you were lying on the road on the mountain. That mountain is the highest mountain near us. The mountain road is tight and difficult to walk. It is too dangerous for you to go up alone. Know what you're going there for? Maybe we can help you."

Xu Xiake shook his head and said with a smile: "This is my wish, you can't help me, I want to go up to see the Jinsha River."

Mu Yi was a little troubled, and asked: "Why do you need to go there to see it? If you want to go, we can find some people to carry you to see the Jinsha River directly."

"I want to see the source of the Yangtze River."

"Isn't the source of the Yangtze River the Minjiang River? Sir, why do you need to see the Jinsha River?"

Mu Yi was a little puzzled. He was also well-read in poetry and books. There was a record in "Yu Gong" that "Mt. ?

"Sir, if you want to see Minshan Mountain, why did you come here?"

Xu Xiake looked at Mu Yi and smiled kindly. He said, "Mt. Min is not the source of the Yangtze River. The source of the Yangtze River should be the Jinsha River. But I haven't seen it with my own eyes. I just infer it from the classics."

Xu Xiake and Mu Yi talked, and told Mu Yi what he thought.

In the Buddhist scriptures, there is the so-called Sujia River, which flows from the south to the north and turns into the Jinsha River. In fact, it is the source of the river. There is also a Xindu River, which flows from the south to the sea. There is no mention of the difference between the two rivers in the documents recorded in Yunnan. , thinking that the two rivers are the same.

The waters of these two rivers are mixed together, and there is also the word Yugong, so most people think that the Minjiang River is the source of the Yangtze River.

To the south of Minshan Mountain, there is the Dadu River, which is not as long as the Jinsha River. Compared with the Jinsha River and the Minjiang River, the Jinsha River is the source of the Minjiang River.

Xu Xiake talked about his views on the geographical situation of the entire China, and then expressed his inferences.

As Xu Xiake spoke, Mu Yi listened and nodded repeatedly.

"gentlemen."

After Xu Xiake finished speaking, Mu Yi looked at his bright eyes, and said, "I really admire Mr. Xu's talent!"

The audience in front of the TV was also a little dazed. They looked at the places Xu Xiake had been to these years, and only then did they know that he did not have any purpose at all. He didn't go there just to see which mountains were famous and beautiful. The geographical situation of the entire China, to put it bluntly, he has been fighting for the traceability of the source all his life.

"Cow! He has spent his whole life on this one thing!"

"Yeah, his whole life is for this one thing!"

"It's too strong, it's really too strong! How many people like this are there in this world!"

Some geography experts in front of the TV were also a little surprised. After all, the transportation and geographical conditions of ancient China were not very developed, but Xu Xiake's understanding of China's geographical situation is not much worse than that of modern times, at most it is only in places he has never been to. .

They were surprised to have such an understanding, but what was even more shocking was that all of these understandings came from him step by step.

This kind of perseverance and planning is shocking even in modern times.

What's more, what he saw with his eyes, what he recorded in his heart, and the knowledge he gathered were not much different from modern geographical knowledge!
In the picture, Xu Xiake is stroking his beard. He is not proud, nor is he feeling sorry for his first half of life, nor is he talking to Mu Yi about how difficult his past was.

He just stroked his beard, with some imperceptible discomfort in his eyes.

"Mu Xiaoyou, dare to ask, can I still walk with this leg?"

He asked, and Mu Yi felt a little troubled, and said, "Sir, do you still want to see the Jinsha River?"

Xu Xiake nodded and said, "Yes, I want to go and have a look."

"Sir, your legs are already at the end of their strength. If you go again, your legs will really be useless! Your conclusion has been drawn, and the world must know it and will not refute it. You have already established the source. Why force it?"

Mu Yi asked, he didn't understand why he wanted to see this old man in front of him when he already knew about it.

But this eagerness to know the answer also infected Mu Yi's heart.

"gentlemen."

Xu Xiake looked at Mu Yi and said, "I, I must go."

Mu Yi gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, sir, I understand, we will take you to see it, and then I will find a few more people, and we will help you up, sir."

There were some tears in Xu Xiake's eyes. He looked at Mu Yi and said, "Thank you, thank you!"

Mu Yi shook his head with a smile, and said, "You don't have to thank me, sir, but you should think about it, the doctor said, your legs."

Xu Xiake waved his hand, he was already mentally prepared, for the answer in his heart, even if he was abolished, he would feel no pity.

"Nothing, nothing, as long as you can see, what can't you give up?"
