Li Yi's Biography

The night in central Sichuan is full of stars. Today coincides with the fifteenth day of the third month. A bright full moon hangs in the sky. The silvery moonlight shines on the earth. Even the river water is shining brightly. The moonlight shines through the willow trees On the river bank, everything is so mottled and quiet.

In an open space by the river, a bonfire was lit.The fresh and tempting grilled fish feast is in progress. Li Yi nimbly holds a branch through the body of the fish, puts it on the campfire to bake, and turns it over and over again, so that every part of the fish is evenly heated.But Zhou Zhuangzhu watched carefully from the side.The fish was gradually roasted and gave off a tempting aroma. Master Zhou swallowed his saliva, and suddenly his stomach growled. Li Yi happened to see it. Li Yi took the opportunity to touch the smooth belly of Master Zhou with his hands. . "It will be ready soon, this one is for you to eat first."

Although Zhou Zhuangzhu was hungry, he still maintained his elegance and magnanimity, and said with concern: "You should eat first! You have been fighting and catching fish today, and your body has long been exhausted."

"Li Yi is a junior, so how can he break the rules? Respecting the elders is a virtue passed down from our Confucian ancestors. If the owner doesn't eat it, Li Yi doesn't want to eat it either." At this time Li Yi took the fish from the wooden stand. Come down, this is a special kind of yellow croaker in Sichuan. The meat is delicious, and you can already smell the tempting fragrance before eating it.

After listening to this sentence, Master Zhou didn't care about his elegant demeanor any more. He broke the fish in half and put the other half in Li Yi's hands: "Yi, my bloated body will be so hungry if I don't eat a meal. You Don't be polite to me, eat quickly!" After finishing speaking, he started to gobble it up.

Li Yi didn't eat it right away. He took the fish and watched the master Zhou eating the fish quietly.Although Zhuang Zhuang Zhou is hungry now and has nothing to eat, Li Yi still looks at it obsessively.If you love someone, whatever he does is good-looking, this is beauty in the eye of the beholder.

After Zhou Zhuangzhu finished eating three fish, he finally patted his fat belly and hiccupped. Seeing that Li Yi was still grilling the fish, he said, "Yi, hurry up and eat too! I'll bake it for you. "

So he took the fish in Li Yi's hand and roasted it on the bonfire.Perhaps the owner of Zhou Zhuang did not do this job, lacked skill, and scorched the fish.Zhuang Zhuang Zhou felt sorry for wasting a fish.

Li Yi comforted: "It's okay, you can eat it after peeling off the scorched fish skin, so Li Yi slowly peeled off the skin of the fish, revealing the delicious fish meat, and started to eat slowly."

After they were full, they snuggled together, and Zhuang Zhu said, "I've never eaten such a delicious fish, and I ate it with my lover."

"Li Yi is used to eating and sleeping outside, but I think the meal in Zhouzhuang at noon is really delicious!"

"It seems that you have adapted to living alone outside, and your ability to survive is so strong, so why did you come to our land in the middle of Sichuan?"

"Let's not hide from the owner, Li Yi is here to find relatives."

"Oh, we have your relatives in Sichuan, which family are they?"

"Li Yi came from afar this time to help his adoptive father find his young lover. As for how to get there, his adoptive father himself doesn't know. He only knows that the place is called Taohuayuan, and he told me the general direction."

"Your adoptive father himself doesn't know?" Zhou Zhuangzhu looked puzzled.

"Yes, I don't know if Zhuang Zhuang Zhuang has heard a legend in the local area. It is said that in the Taiyuan period of the Jin Dynasty, Wuling people fished for a living. Walking along the stream, forgetting the distance of the road. The people of Wuling entered through the mouth of the mountain, walked hundreds of steps, and suddenly saw a village???????

"You mean that your adoptive father is the Wuling man who fished? I've heard this story since I was a child. I thought it was a legend, but I didn't expect it to be true." Master Zhou looked shocked.

"That's right, when the foster father entered Taohuayuan, he met his lover Qin Yueniang. The foster father and Qin Yueniang fell in love at first sight, and they made a private decision for life. But the good times didn't last long, and no outsiders were allowed to enter the Taohuayuan. It was expelled by the guardian god of Taohuayuan. In the end, the adoptive father had to leave Taohuayuan, and when he wanted to look for Yueniang again, he could no longer find the original entrance.”

"Sigh, it's really a pity why the two are so happy, but they are separated abruptly." Zhuang Zhuang sighed.

"I remember my foster father told me that Taohuayuan was a place where refugees from the Qin Dynasty fled with their families to escape the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty and extortionate taxes. When they came to Taohuayuan, they made a contract with the gods and never left This Peach Blossom Spring does not allow outsiders to enter the Peach Blossom Spring, if anyone violates the law, they will be punished by the flood."

"But the Qin Dynasty has been destroyed for hundreds of years, is this contract still valid?" Zhuang Zhuang asked doubtfully.

"Li Yi is an atheist, so naturally he would not believe in these strange powers and gods, but his foster father told me that after he entered Taohuayuan on the seventh day and was discovered by the guardian god Jinxian, a raging flood gushed out of the mountains. As a result, many crops and farmhouses in Taohuayuan were flooded. My adoptive father thought that his arrival had really offended the gods, so he left Taohuayuan in a hurry for the safety of his lover.”

"Well, the biggest difficulty in loving someone is not owning, but letting go."

"But the adoptive father just couldn't let go. After returning from Taohuayuan, the adoptive father missed him day and night, and his belt gradually became wider. Finally, one day, the adoptive father rowed a small boat alone along the creek full of peach blossoms, wanting to enter again. Peach Blossom Spring, but when he came to that hill again, he could no longer find the entrance. Unwilling, his adoptive father went to fish in the Peach Blossom Forest along the creek every day, working at sunrise and sunset, but always No entrance was found."

"Then what happened next?" Zhuang Zhuang asked.

"Later, as he got nothing every time, the adoptive father gradually lost confidence, but he did not marry a wife and have children, so he believed that Qin Yueniang was the love of his life, and he would not marry unless she was the only one. Once on the way back from fishing, he found that There was a small wooden barrel floating on the surface of the stream, and there was a newborn child in it, and he followed the stream to the boat of the adoptive father. The foster father picked up the child, and found that the child was not crying or fussing, and was very calm. Father looked up to the sky, but she fell in love with Qin Yueniang but couldn't meet her. She has not married a wife and had children for [-] years, so she thinks maybe this is God's will! God sympathizes with him and wants to give him a son."

"Is this child you?" Master Zhou asked.

"Well, my adoptive father gave me all the care and love since I was a child. He was both a father and a mother. He cooked for me every day. He washed my clothes every morning before going out to fish. At night I slept Later, he would also mend my clothes. But when I was seven years old, early in the morning in central Sichuan, the river dried up, and my adoptive father could not fish. So he had to take me away from home and leave Sichuan, and fled to Nanyi. Nanyi Although the place is remote, it is a land of fish and rice. My adoptive father took the fish he caught to the town to sell, and exchanged some copper coins to subsidize the family. Later, with a little savings, my adoptive father sent me to study in a private school."

"Then where did your martial arts come from?" Master Zhou asked.

"I was naughty and active since I was a child. Once I saw someone doing juggling in the town. It was very majestic to see the juggler dancing with a gun and stick. My young heart was very envious, and I showed longing eyes. Foster father Knowing what I wanted, he invited a famous bodyguard master in the town to teach me martial arts. This is my later master. Since I am indeed talented in martial arts, the master thought that I could already be independent in swordsmanship , so he recommended me to the local county government. After passing the martial arts competition, I became a local policeman. Although my adoptive father did not give me a complete family, he gave me all his love since I was a child. , All the money I earned from fishing was spent on me, making me a fast catcher with a stable job.

At the end of February, I received a letter from my adoptive father, saying that the girl had found a good family for me, and hoped that I could temporarily put aside my official duties and go home to get married.After I got home, I found out that my adoptive father was terminally ill and his time was running out, so he wanted me to marry a wife and have children, start a family and start a business before I left.I'm not a womanizer by nature, I didn't want to do it at first, but after thinking about it again and again, I agreed to this marriage.Originally, he thought that the foster father's wish had been fulfilled, but unexpectedly, the foster father who was seriously ill was holding a sachet in his hand all day long, his eyes were wandering and thoughtful.After my repeated questioning, he finally told me the reason why he didn't marry in this life, and this sachet was Qin Yueniang's token of love for his adoptive father.Maybe he knew that he was going to die soon, but the adoptive father still couldn't let go of this past, and was depressed all day long.So I promised my adoptive father to find Qin Yueniang and let him see my lover for the last time, so I came to Shuzhong to meet the owner of the village. "

"This is really a beautiful marriage, Yi, I don't want you to leave me so soon, although I also know that sooner or later you will marry a wife and have children, and live your own life."

"No, Li Yi only loves the owner of the villa in his life. Li Yi is willing to stay with the owner of the villa without marrying a wife and having children like his adoptive father." Li Yi replied firmly.

"As long as you are a man, you have to marry a wife and have children. Otherwise, who will take care of you when you get old? I am not a womanizer by nature like you, but it is different when you marry a wife and have children. Life is short, like a mayfly in the middle of the night. What can't be tolerated." Master Zhou persuaded.

"Because life is short, and I mourn for the moment of my life, I should put aside the constraints and vision of the world and live for myself." Li Yi expressed his true thoughts.

"Yi, no matter what, you are my favorite person. I hope you live happily. I hope you will not be lonely for decades like me."

"Well, but didn't the owner marry a wife and have children, so how could he die alone?" Li Yi asked.

"It's the loneliness of the heart. You are still young, maybe you haven't realized it yet. In fact, I have never experienced happiness in my whole life, only tired, tired..." After speaking, Master Zhou's big eyes were full of tears, and when he closed them, Tears flowed down the corners of his eyes, so crystal clear under the moonlight.

"Master, Li Yi loves you very much." Li Yi looked at the tearful face of Zhou Zhuangzhu, with a ruddy complexion, a thick mustache, and under the white moonlight, so affectionate and gentle.So Li Yi stretched out his hand, gently wiped away the tears on Master Zhou's face, then put the other hand on Master Zhou's stomach, and stroked slowly.

The owner of Zhuang Zhou didn't respond, and let Li Yi slowly caress his body, closed his eyes, and said slowly: "I have lived in Zhouzhuang since I was a child, and my parents died young, leaving us three brothers. I am the eldest in the family, and my second and third brothers are still young, so I took on the burden of running the housework at the age of 17. After my parents passed away, the servants in Zhouzhuang felt that our three brothers were still young and took advantage of some housework and trivial matters. At that time, I got some oil and water, the accounts were in chaos, and many farm laborers refused to pay the rent at that time. The family was in decline and could not make ends meet. At that time, the second and third brothers were only children, so I stood up as the pillar of the family and resigned. I hired Mr. Zhang, the original accountant, and I have to calculate all the expenses of the family and the income from the land rent. The other servants did not dare to mess around after seeing this. After that, I brought a few more The servants went to every house by themselves to get back the land rent of the hired farmer. After two years, the family was finally maintained.

Later, when the second and third brothers grew up, they both had their own hobbies.The second brother likes martial arts as much as you do, so I prepared some money for him and let him go to the capital to study art. Now that he has returned from his studies, he is already a well-known master of swordsmanship.And the third brother liked to study abroad since he was a child. He went to Handan, Luoyang and other places at a young age. After returning, he opened a private school and became a Confucian gentleman who preached and taught.But I am bothered by trivial housework, stay in this Zhouzhuang all day long, have never seen the outside world, and have been with these flowers for decades. "

"Zhou Zhuang takes care of the second owner so much, but why does the second owner seem to be quite dissatisfied with you? Is there any misunderstanding between you?" Li Yi said as he lifted the collar of Zhou Zhuang and stretched his hand in. , stroking Master Zhou's chest.

Master Zhou felt the warmth of Li Yi's firm hand, but he pretended nothing happened and didn't stop him, and continued: "My second brother has a violent personality since he was a child, he likes fighting martial arts, and he is narrow-minded. Wronged. He is not only dissatisfied with me, but also dissatisfied with many people. It’s just that he doesn’t dare to contradict me. I hesitated for so long, it really chilled me."

In fact, at this time, Li Yi couldn't hear clearly what Master Zhou said. The desire in his body was jumping up and down. He slowly approached Master Zhou's fat face and kissed it gently.At the moment of being kissed by Li Yi, Master Zhou's eyes opened, as if he wanted to avoid it.But Li Yi was still unyielding, and continued to kiss Master Zhou's face.Seeing Li Yi like this, Master Zhou gently closed his eyes again.
