[Comprehensive History] Clothes are all over the world

In these days, most prisons are built underground.

On the one hand, this design is to prevent bold people from robbing the prison or simply killing witnesses, and on the other hand, it is also to avoid giving and receiving collusive confessions in private.Of course, avoiding disturbing people must also be one of the factors.

This kind of underground building is not like modern times and has a waterproof layer and heat insulation layer. Therefore, most of the prisons are dark and damp, and they are prone to rheumatism after staying for a long time.That's all, the most frightening thing is that being in a dark environment for a long time will cause mental illness and cause self-destructive tendencies.

Human instinct is to yearn for light. "Sad spring" and "sad autumn" are not entirely due to personal fragility and sensitivity, but a large part are caused by weather changes.

There is more rainfall in spring and shorter nights in autumn, which are actually related to the sunshine time.Therefore, one of the suggestions that modern doctors give to patients with depression will always include one-go out and bask in the sun more.

Of course, these are long-term effects. For Mu Xiaobai, one of the more important factors is that the two brothers need to be exposed to the sun to supplement calcium to grow taller, and the other is that sunshine can give them a sense of time.

I don't know what year it is to be in prison. It's not a good thing. The most important thing in a protracted war is to be energetic. He doesn't care. The key is that it is Xiaodouding's Mu Xiaowen. Children must move and grow up healthy, and they must not be static. .

Therefore, from the first day of living in the cell, Mu Bai took advantage of the precious dawn time to clean the entire cell with his younger brother every day.

When tidying up for the first time, the scene was not to mention how spectacular, the straw was lifted like a bug nest.

In order to maintain his compassionate image, Mu Bai controlled his murderous intentions, and did not wave the broom he begged for, except to make a small cage out of straw and put the prettiest beetle in it and throw it to his younger brother. Except for feeding, the rest of the bugs all let them run away.

However, a beetle obviously couldn't make up for his younger brother's homesickness, and Mu Xiaowen's face became more and more miserable day by day.

In fact, apart from paying more attention to hygiene and the pursuit of appetite, Mu Xiaowen is very able to endure hardships in other aspects.

Before Mubai lit up his portrait skills, their family's life could be said to be difficult. The poor in the farming era are not at the same level as the poverty in the concept of modern people.

At least, as long as no one in the family is sick, modern people can basically be satisfied with food and clothing no matter how poor they are.But in this era, those who can meet these two requirements are already considered wealthy families. One step further is to gather the strength of the whole family to support a scholar, and then it can be transformed into a farming and studying family.

Although the people in Xiumang Village are nice, and they will help their brothers when they see them, but when the two brothers are in the most difficult time, all the resources of their family are provided according to the plan.

Needless to say about food, when they were the poorest, the two of them could only cool a pot of porridge mixed with various grains and cut it into pieces.

Because of the lack of warm clothes, Mu Bai still sewed pieces of paper inside his clothes when he went out, and Mu Wen hardly got out of bed in the first winter after coming here. The sackcloth quilt and the body temperature of wooden white keep warm.

Other children could not bear this kind of situation for a long time, but Mu Wen kept silent. He lay on the bed and kicked his feet when he wanted to exercise, and rolled around the quilt when he wanted to play. The most willful behavior It's nothing more than pestering him to read a story, so good that it makes people feel distressed.

Even now in prison, the child did not cry.During the day, I follow Mu Bai to tidy up the cell on short legs. When Mu Bai reads sutras to the official, he sits cross-legged. At night, he huddles in Mu Bai’s arms and looks at the stars through the small window. people here.

"Wen'er misses the village chief, Brother Erxia, Sister Sha Hong, Mr. Wang, Ah Hua, Xiaoxi, thatched cottage, crickets, everything anyway."

Children are very forgetful, but their yearning is the most sincere, and the previous experience has somewhat negatively affected him. Mu Wen is a little bean who is very afraid of losing.

Thinking that he might be forgotten by others after staying here for a long time, Mu Wen couldn't help curling up in Mu Bai's arms and dropped the golden beans.

Although there is an elder brother by his side, the gloomy and closed environment here obviously affected the child's emotions.After coaxing the child hard, Mu Bai could only adjust the rhythm of his life overnight.

So, the next day, the little official who wanted to discuss the Buddhist scriptures with Mu Bai during his patrol as usual was shocked to find that the young master Mu did not meditate today, but made a hard pen out of straw, and started with a ray of skylight. Teach children to read and write.

"The heavens and the earth are dark and yellow, the universe is prehistoric. The sun and the moon are full, and the celestial constellations..."

The tender little voice of a child resounded in the cold and chilling prison cell. His eyes followed the crude "pointer", and the words he spit out were connected into sentences. He was not very literate, but he had heard the first few sentences before. , it is the enlightenment text of the Han nationality - "Thousand Characters".

Wa'er read a sentence, and his elder brother explained the meaning to him.

Little Master Mu didn't try to be perfunctory because his younger brother was young, but he said it with wit and wit, especially when it came to the "Jianhao Juque", he exaggerated and exaggerated the sword-making technology of the Yue Kingdom in the late Spring and Autumn Period.

What is cutting iron like mud, the sharpness is imposing, and the soldiers are coming out without blood. Hearing this, Mu Wen's small mouth is slightly opened, and the small teeth are exposed, and the two round eyes are full of admiration and yearning.

Unknowingly, the little official was fascinated by what he was listening to, and when he realized it, he had already stood at the door of the cell with four pancakes in his hands and listened to the story for a long time, which caused the two children to turn their heads to look at him.

The little official felt a little embarrassed, he eagerly stuffed the pancakes into the food delivery port, and said hesitantly, "Master Mu, can we, can we listen to the story together?"

"Yes!" Mu Bai, who was on the top of his head, slapped his thigh, warmly welcoming the newcomers to join him in blowing up Yue Kingdom's casting craftsmanship.He even waved a small "pointer" to draw a map for people, and explained the Wuyue Spring and Autumn Hegemony in those days, so that two people who didn't know this history were stunned.

His big movement can naturally be heard by the people around him. After a while, an old man in the next cell repeatedly slapped the railing in protest.The tone of the old man's Chinese was strange, and it seemed that because he had not spoken for a long time, his voice sounded very stiff, but at least he could roughly distinguish what he said.

"Even though the Yue Kingdom has magical weapons, it also has the ability to govern the world, and God will help it. With three thousand Yuejia, it can swallow a million soldiers in Wu, but so what?"

"Isn't his country of Yue finally destroyed by his own people?"

"When you are looking for talent, everything is good. When things are settled, everything is settled. Heroes, advisers, good ministers, talented people who are destined to be successful, or thieves who seek rebellion, aren't they all in one word?" The old man murmured vaguely. , At the end, he actually sang, "Flying birds are exhausted, good bows are hidden. The cunning rabbit dies, the lackeys cook, the enemy's country is destroyed, and the counselor perishes. From ancient times to the present, it has not changed, it has not changed!"

"Okay, shut up, you crazy old man." Another petty official who came over heard the sound and knocked on his cell door with a stick as a warning.Seeing that the old man was still howling, the little official picked up the pancake from the rice mouth and stuffed it into his mouth, and the world became silent immediately.

"Don't pay attention to him!" The little official standing in front of the Mubai Prison waved his hands, looked at the two children who seemed to be frightened and comforted him, "The old man is an old scholar who claims to be a survivor of the former Song Dynasty, and his ancestors were exiled. He came here, according to him, because the ancestors were framed by being unkind."

Seeing Mu Bai turned his head to look at him, a pair of dark round eyes seemed to be shining under the shadowy sunlight, the little official thought he was trying to hold back the tears of surprise, so he lowered his voice, and his tone became more gentle: "Don't look at his current appearance. Back then, this old boy had a good time, and he went to most of the officials. Unfortunately, he offended people, became a prisoner, and implicated his family. The whole family was exiled. It is said that he met someone on the road. The bandit is gone. He is also suffering in his heart."

He shook his head, stretched out two fingers and gestured for the position of his head: "He had a few brothers who interceded for him back then, and he escaped from the death penalty, but he had to stay in it for the rest of his life. But if you want me to say, it's better You can go with your family."

Mu Bai was taken aback, and when he was about to speak, his palms felt cold, and Mu Xiaowen, who stuffed his little paws into his elder brother's palm, looked over with uneasy eyes.

"Brother, if studying and becoming an official will endanger your family, Wen'er, can Wen'er stop studying?"

The child said that he didn't want to study. In such a situation, most parents would definitely feel angry. The hotter ones might have already picked up the slippers, but put them here at Mubai...

Coincidentally, Mu Bai is also a parent who doesn't have much enthusiasm for learning cultural lessons, so after the child said so casually, he immediately followed up: "Then do you want to learn martial arts from brother?"

Before Mu Wen agreed, a cold sneer came, "If you learn martial arts, you will sell them to the emperor's house anyway, so what's the difference in learning martial arts?"

Seeing that Mu Xiaowen's expression immediately became sinister, Mu Bai sighed, stretched out his hand to rub Xiao Douding's cheeks that were not plump recently, smiled heartily, and without lowering his voice, said straight: "Wen'er, are you What did you study for?"

Mu Wen was a little dazed, he was just a child, so naturally he couldn't answer this esoteric question.It doesn't matter, Mu Bai didn't really ask him this sentence, he hugged the little gold-swallowing beast in his arms and turned upside down, Mu Bai said loudly: "The purpose of your study can determine your future life. .”

"If you change your school to study for the sake of Yuyuelongmen, then you will read the sages of Confucius and Mencius, but what you will learn will be full of tricks and intrigues."

"If you study to increase your knowledge, even if you read a volume of "Thousand Character Classics", what you see is a vast world; even if you read "Three Character Classics", what you learn is the wisdom of ancestors and history."

"Knowledge is a mirror, whatever purpose you look at it, what it rewards you."

"Then, why should I study?" Mu Wen asked half understanding.

In exchange for his question, he gave a dull chuckle: "There is nothing you should or should not do. That's for you in the future. Now I let you learn for my brother, just to give you the opportunity to choose in the future."

The author has something to say:

The sun is very important. Sometimes when the author is in a bad mood, he sits outside and basks in the sun, and then he is in a daze, exhaling the spiritual energy of the world and watching all kinds of small animals bullying the little kids.

It's pretty good, but it's easy to get tanned, (speech words) you must apply sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen, otherwise you will have sunburn.

Learning martial arts, goods and the emperor's family comes from a drama in the Yuan Dynasty, but the full text is: Learning literary and martial arts, goods and the emperor's family; the emperor does not use it, sells it to the family of knowledge; the family does not need it, and acts a chivalrous man.

It means that after learning literature and martial arts, they will be sold to the emperor. If the emperor doesn’t want it, they will sell it to those who know the goods (as the aides of the princes and kings). .

However, in the later period, there were only the first two sentences, and the words changed as they were passed on, mainly because in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was practiced that all things are inferior, but reading is high. read more), Ming and Qing classes began to have obvious differences, the authority of officials reached the maximum, and even common people began to kneel when they saw officials (in the past, common people did not kneel when they did not make mistakes, and bowed to officials and even the emperor), so when Being an official became a kind of pursuit. The whole family confessed to an official, and then it became a fashion to feed back.

This is why there are so many corrupt officials.

Being an official has become the purpose of learning and a means of making money. How can these people not be greedy when they become officials.The buttocks are crooked, and the hat must be crooked.

So you know why our primary school textbooks or textbooks for middle school students always have the story of Premier Zhou saying "study for the rise of China".

This allusion is placed there to impress most children when their minds are still blank. At least if someone asks you why you study, there will always be such a sentence vaguely. Of course, it may become Forced by parents, in order to survive, to make money, to be admitted to a good school with boyfriend and girlfriend, etc., but only 1 people out of [-] people planted this seed, and one in a hundred seeds germinated Yes, these seeds will be the big tree supporting China in the future.

So if someone asks you this question, don't feel ashamed because of the words that popped out of your mind for a moment, and feel that you are out of place with your classmates. Your good teacher who shared this story just happened to be planted with this seed.

If you don’t have this idea, don’t feel that there is something wrong with you. Maybe you just don’t have this textbook, or the teacher doesn’t pay attention to it, or you just fell asleep. There’s nothing wrong with not having big ambitions. Be a sunflower protected by a big tree. And Kai, crying for them and applauding them is also very happy.
