The Folk Song of the Qingquan Case in the Northern Song Dynasty

Xiangquan turned his head, with a trace of anger on his face: "Be quiet, so as not to wake up others and ruin the big event."

Gan Qing laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten up: "I am! A coincidence—hahaha! What is a coincidence? The deaths of these people are in line with the folk song, is it all a coincidence?"

Xiang Quan turned his head away without even looking at him.

"It's a coincidence and a cause and effect, don't you believe it?"

"I don't believe in ghosts, but I don't believe in you!" Gan Qing rolled his eyes.

Seeing that the porridge was already cooked, Xiangquan took a bowl to serve it, and said slowly: "You are ignorant, I am too lazy to make fun of you. But what I just said, why didn't you listen carefully? Folk songs don't exactly correspond to the events. In other words, folk songs Only some of the words in it are consistent with the incident. Qianqing, when Granny Meng died, did you find that the folk songs corresponded to the incident?"

Ganqing hesitated for a moment: "I just feel a little similar. I will think about it when I go to bed at night, but I don't fully feel..."

Xiang Quan nodded: "That's right. When you think the incident is consistent with the folk song, it's when the dumb child died. The strange word 'broth' appeared in the folk song and in reality, so it was noticeable. If It's not that the mute died strangely, and the word 'broth' appeared, you might not even realize that the folk song is related to the incident."

Qian Qing was taken aback by what Xiang Quan said.Indeed, the connection between these events and folk songs is all the imagination of the people in Wu Village, and no one has ever judged that they are completely related!And this association was groundless.

Xiangquan's tone was calm, with no ups and downs in his tone. Hearing what he said, he was stunned for a while, then scratched his hair: "But——"

Xiang Quan smiled at him: "Let me guess your heart. Regarding the corresponding relationship between the two, you must have doubts in your heart before that, a hazy and vague doubt-is the folk song really related to the incident? If it has nothing to do with the incident, why are there so many similar scenes? You can’t explain this kind of question, and you will judge in your heart that the two must be related, and it is estimated that some villains deliberately did it, so you will become uneasy. This The villains are either lurking in the village, or they are from Wu Village."

Ganqing hesitated and said: "Actually, I didn't think about it carefully, but I just felt a little similar, and everyone felt a little similar, so that's..."

Xiang Quan shook his head: "If someone intentionally uses folk songs to kill people and cause panic, you can write words like 'boss' and 'second child' next to each person who has the accident, or a note from folk songs, but is there any? No."

Qianqing said dully: "Okay, it seems to be."

Xiangquan slowly filled the porridge.Gan Qing watched him for a long time before realizing: "No! The two have nothing to do with each other. Why are there so many similar scenes?"

Xiang Quan gave him a disdainful look: "I knew you wanted to ask this question. This is also the key to Folk Ge's question—do you know that Folk Ge has the ability to predict the future?"

what?

prophecy?

Ganqing sneered three times when he heard the words: "Predict the future? You can really be nonsense. Just now you said that the folk song was related to the event just because of a coincidence, and now you say it is a prophecy!"

He looked at Xiangquan mockingly, and muttered softly, "Mr. Yi, the magic stick."

Xiang Quan ignored his sarcasm and took a deep breath: "When the emperors of all dynasties ruled, they always believed in nursery rhymes made up by folk children. Whether auspicious or inauspicious, they all herald the fate of the world or human affairs. In our It seems that this is indeed unbelievable, but from another perspective, why would the emperor believe it? Nursery rhymes and songs all come from the folk, from the people, and they can reveal what happened to the folk to a certain extent, revealing some kind of signs. And Since ancient times, agricultural proverbs and common sayings have also been found everywhere, forming songs that have been sung by people for hundreds of years, and they are catchy. Are you saying that the fulfillment of these words is purely coincidental? No, because it is the experience summed up by the predecessors."

Gan Qing's mind was confused, but he heard Xiang Quan continue: "The folk songs of the five brothers are the stories and lessons of the predecessors, and the experience of the ancestors of Wu Village. The folk songs are compiled to warn future generations. This will be passed down from generation to generation until today. It is fulfilled today because something similar to the folk song happened in Wu Village."

Qianqing was completely dizzy: "I still haven't figured it out. According to you, folk songs are warnings from the ancestors to the future generations?"

"When things happen, there is a cause and an effect. The story of the five brothers has the same cause and the same environment as what is happening in Wu Village today, which leads to the same result. Therefore, there are so many similar elements. This is similar to the agricultural proverb It is the same as the principle of everything, and it is also the same as the principle of all things.”

After finishing speaking, Xiang Quan walked to the window and pushed it away at once.The gray sky was exposed, and the wind was blowing.Xiangquan said: "Look at the weather, it must be a sign of snow. There are also old sayings, 'the fish and loach die in March, the wind blows the rice in June', 'the winter solstice is cloudy and the sun is dark, and the Taiping song will be sung in the coming year. '. All are lessons learned by predecessors, some are about the weather, some are about fortune. In other words, the weather and terrain are all the same, the cause is the same, and following the laws of nature, it will inevitably lead to the same result. The ancestors of Wu Village have experienced such a thing, Unexpectedly, later generations also encountered the same thing.”

Gan Qing shook his head: "Stop pretending to be a ghost and talking nonsense here, what does the same cause refer to? What is the same thing?"

Xiangquan divided the white powder into four parts, added the most part to the broth, and added the rest to the three bowls of porridge, and said slowly: "Look carefully at the folk song, it seems complicated, but you can see the clues when you read it carefully. The root of the story is nothing but two causes: "the rich man who got rich" and "the sick girl". From this, the story of five brothers going up the mountain was triggered. We can compare the rich man who got rich to the present, which is left by the ancients The treasure is in this mountain, and only Granny Meng knows about it, which triggered the Feng Jiuniang incident. And the 'sick girl'—”

"Young Master Yi, Young Master Xia, why are you up?" Hei Hei suddenly pushed open the kitchen door, cleared his mind, and subconsciously blocked the Xiangquan who was administering medicine.But Xiangquan nodded with a smile.

"To bother you for a few days, this is just a way of expressing your heart." He smiled at Hei Hei, with a gentle smile on his face, and unhurriedly stuffed the paper wrapped in the powder into his sleeve.

Xiangquan's smile surprised Ganqing, and then he turned his face dark and gave Xiangquan a vicious look, this guy has done something bad and still looks calm!He couldn't help cursing Xiangquan secretly in his heart, what a complete hypocrite.

Shuiyun popped up from the side, and stared at her dark eyes and scanned the kitchen: "Cooking? Are you cooking?"

Qianqing suddenly felt very annoyed when someone caught him doing these women's things in the kitchen.He glanced at Xiangquan next to him complainingly, and saw Xiangquan said indifferently: "After thinking about it, I feel that there is nothing to express my heart, but it would be more appropriate to express my gratitude by cooking. Came to the kitchen without permission," Xiangquan's face was neither red nor white, he turned around and stirred the porridge slowly, "It will be ready to eat in a while, just wait patiently."

Yi Xiangquan himself spoke with a certain calmness, but now his tone is flat and credible as always.

Wu Bai stood far outside the kitchen, and the phrase "a gentleman stays away from the kitchen" deeply affected him.Shui Yun looked at the kitchen on tiptoe, and it took a long time before he said, "Master Yi has already served it, why don't you eat it now!"

Xiang Quan answered sharply: "The fire is not even extinguished, the porridge is boiling hot right now, it would be better to eat it when it is colder. If it is served out right now, it will be scalded by greedy insects?"

He stirred the porridge unhurriedly, as if waiting for the medicine powder to dissolve.Qianqing was secretly shocked, this Yi Xiangquan lied better than himself, no, how could he not even lie better than him?Qianqing put on a sincere smile, dismissed Heihei, Shuiyun left, and entered the hall to wait.

None of them saw that Xiang Quan's face looked so weird under the heat of the porridge.Although he moved calmly, there was worry on his face, as if he saw the coming blizzard, the dark clouds full of worry would not dissipate, and worry would never see the dawn again.

He glanced at the broth, took the pot down, and took a deep breath.

The author has something to say: The way of explaining the truth of "Folk Song" will be as long as possible, and try not to let the information flood out...

The description of nursery rhymes reminds me of a certain year's... grade [-] translation question QAQ...

The third part "Northern Song Dynasty Qingquan Strange Case: Guessing Paintings" is a more exciting one in my opinion. The scene is not as single as a folk song, and there are many people on the stage. My favorite male and female supporting roles will also appear. I will talk about this in detail later. ...
