Great Tang Idyll

Chapter 1177: The cicada chants endlessly

Views:

The scorching heat is full, and the leaves are climbing kapok. The sea is far away and people on the shore, juvenile or staggering. The four seasons are short, there is no resentment in life, spring, summer, autumn and winter are all looking forward to.

Sorrow and sigh, listen to the cicadas, spring is also joyous, autumn is also prosperous.

Don’t get tired of it, but when listening to the cicadas, there are early calls and snoring in the afternoon. It is hard to get tired all day long.

The cicada yin 僷僷 gauze is worn, it is called sea blue by the sea; the cicada yin 僷僷僷僷僷僷風顯, reflected in the sky blue sky; the cicada yin 僷僷僷The long history of life, called the autumn cold in the heart.

Or along the banks of the Chaoyang Yin River, Xu Tong's sunset glow painted the mountains, the wind was blowing, the water was swaying, the moon was crooked, the stars were gleaming, the cicadas were still chanting, and they were still pastoral.

The sound of the sea tide on the beach never ceases, along with the calls of seabirds and the movement of the trees on the tree, the amusement park is very lively.

What’s more lively is the children, holding the dinner plate, talking in a low voice, lined up and walked by Yiyi in front of Li Longji and others. It seems that they want to stay in front of everyone for a while, but they are afraid of being caught by the children behind them. Urge.

Xiaobei took the lead, with eleven children squeezed in the line, even Pan'er and Jun'er, two younger ones, and they were not allowed to help them take the dinner plates. The two of them could Pick it up, but if it is loaded with food, it is estimated that the two will carry one together, provided that they know how to cooperate.

The child who said that he would eat as much food as he needs would not be supported after all. Li Longji only gave him a spoonful of rice. If he didn't have enough food, he could add more. It was a sin if he really had enough to eat.

"Brother Xiaobao, I want this, and this." A child stood in front of Zhang Xiaobao, and stretched out a white and tender, chubby little finger at the two dishes in front of Zhang Xiaobao.

Li Longji’s five people are in charge of the meal and the main course. Zhang Wang and Wang are pregnant, so they are less responsible. They only care about the fruit and soup. Li Longji’s work is not heavy. He is responsible for giving others rice or small steamed buns. There are no wontons, no dumplings and pies today, I am afraid that a few people will be too busy.

But there are a lot of dishes, a total of 20 meat dishes and 20 vegetarian dishes.

The children need to choose four of the forty dishes to eat. The child standing in front of Zhang Xiaobao has already played two meat dishes at Wang Juan, and now he still wants meat dishes.

Zhang Xiaobao shook his head and said helplessly, "No, you can only choose two greens. The vinegared cabbage is delicious. Either have bean sprouts with shredded pork in them."

The child was full of regrets, thought for a moment, smiled again, and said, "I am different today. I asked for two vegetarian dishes to be eaten, but I also want two meat dishes. Brother Xiaobao, the one in front of you? But the lamb must be given to me."

"Oh? Why?" Zhang Xiaobao asked in cooperation.

A child next to him saw the situation and was familiar with the cook, and said to help: "Because he is celebrating his sixth birthday today, and after today, he has grown up by one year. Unfortunately, I'm still a month away, and I want to be fast too. Grow up quickly so that we can do a lot for my Datang."

"Well, since it's a birthday, I should have two more dishes. Let me give you cumin lamb, and the next one is fish?" Zhang Xiaobao saw someone celebrate their birthday and should be given some special treatment, so he put the child's choice on the other party's meal. Intraday.

"If it's not enough, double it again. I also asked for a coupon for the baby candy shop." The kid continued to make the request, looking like an inch.

Zhang Xiaobao looked at the other person holding the tray and said: "I'm afraid you can't hold it. About the Baby Candy House, you can ask Sister Xiaobei, and Sister Xiaobei is responsible for giving coupons to others."

The child looked at his tray, rolled his eyes, and asked: "Can I give it away once, and then come back and play?"

"One person, one plate, where do you send it? You can't eat anymore if you load dishes." Zhang Xiaobao still talked with him tirelessly.

"I will send it to my mother. My mother likes to eat cumin lamb and fish. I don’t like it. I like chicken drumsticks. I already have it. Serving rice.

They said that a baby is a star in the sky. If a mother wants a baby, she has to pick it up very hard and put it in her belly. The little star will grow up little by little and become a baby.

It’s very hard, so when you celebrate your birthday, you can’t always think of yourself, you have to think about your mother first. I want a coupon for eating cakes with my family in the Baby Candy Shop. "

The child explained the reason to Zhang Xiaobao.

Without a word, Zhang Xiaobao doubled the amount and filled the child with vegetables, indicating that he could go and feed his mother first, and then come back to get a copy.

At the same time, Beckham, who was lining up in the crowd, took out paper and pencil from the bag, wrote "a free coupon for the premium set of pastries", squeezed it over and gave it to the child. She did not carry the printed variety with her. coupon.

Then he said to the child, "Remember to find a few people to eat, or you won't be able to finish it."

Waiting for the child to leave happily, Beckham pondered for a moment and shouted: "Who else has a birthday today? I will give a free coupon for pastries. Don’t lie. Don’t worry if you haven’t had a birthday. Our baby candy shop is from Starting today, a free birthday event will be launched. In the future, as long as it is a birthday child, you can go to any baby candy shop to pick up a gift on the day of your birthday."

After shouting, Beckham squeezed back to the others and said, "How about it, I'm smart."

"Smart and smart, sister Xiaobei is the smartest." Pan'er said with her big eyes blinking. She probably didn't understand what Xiaobei was talking about.

When Becky shouted, there are really a few children on today’s birthday. He cheered happily. He also learned that the previous child had to cook more food. He said that the mother did not come and took it back. As for whether the food can last for them It's not bad to bring it home, that's not what they need to consider.

And their father could only sigh helplessly, who made them only responsible for providing stars instead of growing up in their stomachs.

A smile appeared on Li Longji's face. He felt that the child could say such words because his education was successful, and the Tang Dynasty would not worry about it in the future.

"I should call you Your Majesty, right?" When Li Longji was happy, a child stood in front of him and asked with his head up.

Just as Li Longji was about to nod his head, he suddenly thought of something, and immediately said to the child: "I want to call the emperor uncle, all the children of Datang are my treasure, and I am the emperor uncle of all children."

"Really? Uncle the emperor, I want two spoons of rice. I'm so strong that I can eat it when I'm at home. My dad said I can't support me soon."

The child speaks badly about his father very seriously. If anyone can come to travel or do business, how can the family give him a bowl of food

Li Longji smiled and beaten two spoonfuls of food to the child in front of him, and greeted the next child to come over.

With what he said to the child just now, all the children called him the emperor uncle.

Fortunately, there are not many children in the amusement park. After two quarters of an hour, every child sat down to eat, and some even had finished eating. They could not get up sitting there, biting fruit in their mouths to watch others eat, and watching the excitement.

There is still a lot of food left. You can't throw it away, and distribute it to other adults. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also chose the dishes for their mothers, and they also sat down to eat with their dinner plates.

Li Longji is also here to settle lunch, surrounded by children, not worried about which child will come out to assassinate.

Zhang Xiaobao took a sip of the soup and looked at Li Longji and said, "Your Majesty, you don't want to give me and the cuckoo a chance to rebel. You regard all the children of Datang as treasures, and you have become the emperor of all the children. , We want to rebel in the future, it is estimated that it will be very difficult, the children will listen to you."

"Hehe." Li Longji laughed twice and said: "Don't be afraid, you and Juanjuan are their little brother and sister Juanjuan. If you want to rebel, they won't control it. It is an internal conflict in the family. When I am old, you You can seize power."

"I guess not. When you are old, Jun'er will grow up. A person like you is considered a mature man at the age of eighty." Zhang Xiaobao looked at Li Jun and said.

Li Jun looked up at a few people ignorantly, and said crisply, "I want to grow up quickly."

"Yes, yes, grow up quickly and don't give them a chance to rebel, haha." Li Longji became more and more happy.

After dinner, Li Longji and his entourage, except for the two Zhang Wangs, all the others accompanied the children in the amusement park.

For adults, the entertainment that children find very happy is no longer interesting, but it's good to see a group of little guys running around.

Li Longji sweated, drinking sour plum soup, and sighed: "When I was a child, I couldn't play so many things. It's not that I didn't have money to play, but no one can think of it. Now the children of Datang are called happiness. There are more than 4,000 amusement parks all over Datang, and all the children can enjoy it if they want. It's great."

"Uncle the emperor, when the children now grow up, they will feel like you, saying that they played less things when they were young. As long as we keep working hard, the children in the future can play more things." Beckham took the conversation next to him.

"Oh? Can Beckham still think of this? I ask you, what if you grow up and the children play less things?"

Li Longji had never seen the sea to the south. The time he went to Jilizhou, he still caught up with the winter, which was not fun at all. The breeze and blue waves of the sea suddenly made him feel extra good. Asked Beckham with a smile.

Beckham took a deep breath, feeling the moistness of the sea breeze and the fresh and salty taste, and replied: "When I grow up, the children have less things to play with, which only means that my Datang development has become negative. All people who grow up are guilty people.

Brother and sister said that to measure the quality of a country’s system, one only needs to look at the living conditions of the elderly and children in the country, but not how advanced the tools used by the people in this country are and how high the grain output is.

Tools and food output are only a question of production technology, not a complete interpretation of the quality of the system, because technology can be learned and researched slowly by others, but what is truly cohesive is the love of the people of this country for this country And hate. "

"Our Beckham knows so much." Li Longji boasted.

"I don’t understand. We don’t understand many of the things our brother and sister told us. Tell it to children younger than us.

Just like the endless screaming now, their lives are very short. My sister said that the longest lived for less than 20 years, and they are still in the soil.

Even so, they kept flapping their wings and screaming, passing on what they knew to the next generation, going back and forth between winter and spring.

Maybe people can fly to the sky easily in the future, but the sound of cicada's chanting will never disappear. In the river of years, the life of cicadas is no different from that of humans. In ten thousand years of time, human lives are the same as those of people now. The life length of the cicada is the same.

The difference is that, on the surface, people are smarter than cicadas. The same is that from birth to death, we have been pursuing, and we have not changed, and civilization is also contending. "

When Beckham spoke, she opened her arms to let the sea breeze blow her clothes.

This time not only Li Longji was surprised, but even Zhang Wang and Wang were equally surprised. Obviously, this should not be said from Beckham's mouth.

The two Zhang Wangs looked at their son and daughter. Seeing them indifferently, they held hands and looked at the sea. They really couldn't figure out how they taught their younger brothers and sisters. Is it true that the methods of the gods are really like this? Great

No wonder the two of them have to take their younger siblings and replace them with their own two. They will definitely not be able to teach Xiaobei and the others the way they are now.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan heard what Beckham said, and at the same time they felt the gaze coming from others.

But neither of them turned around. In their opinion, this is nothing but a little bit of philosophical thinking. Many of their children at that time could do it, and some children can even say that it’s snowing and spring is coming. Come such words.

What's more, what's more, Beckham may not have thought of it alone.

Sure enough, when Li Longji was surprised, when he wanted to ask, Beckham said it himself.

"When we have nothing to do, we always think about other things, and there are many such things in the stories told by our brothers and sisters. The more we learn, the more we think. Don’t be surprised. Don’t be surprised. , Unwilling to live for a hundred years.

Uncle the emperor, we will go to sea for a while. Don’t worry about it. Don’t worry about falling into the water. We can easily fish you up. As long as there are no reefs below and no storms above, the mere waves are a trivial matter. "

"Uh!" Li Longji was speechless. He didn't know how good Confucius said people who were born to be known were, but he saw how well those who learned later can learn.

Turning to look at my son and daughter, there is a trace of reluctance and a trace of determination in my heart, that is, the two children are now very well-behaved and smart, but they cannot be brought back to the palace, although they follow the current Jun every day. Er and Pan'er must be very happy together, but they still want to put them next to Xiaobao and Juanjuan.

The education method of two people is really exhausting. Normal children can't enjoy such treatment at all, but the results are remarkable.

※※※※

In the afternoon, when the sea breeze blew for a while, and the sun was basking in the sun, Zhang Wang's two pregnant women, accompanied by their guards, headed towards their homes in the local area.

It is impossible for the two of them to go to the lighthouse with the sea, and there is no need for it.

Li Longji and others set off by boat to the nearest lighthouse from the shore, which is about 60 nautical miles, which is more than 100 kilometers away.

Regardless of the short distance on land, it takes less than two hours to get there when the road is flat, but the sea is another matter.

It is estimated that I am heading towards the lighthouse at the fastest speed, and it will take night to get there.

Zhang Xiaobao didn't let people send a signal to the lighthouse. He wanted to give them a surprise and bring some food that they usually consume. Of course, if you can go to the farthest lighthouse, it might be better, but it's too dangerous and time-consuming. In a long time, Li Longji will have to wander around the 100,000 mountains.

When you go to the lighthouse, you don't take a big boat, but a medium-sized boat that is a little bigger than a fishing boat. Only on this kind of boat can you feel the charm of the waves.

If Zhang Xiaobao took his younger brothers and sisters out, he would use a smaller boat to give them life jackets and feel the ups and downs under the waves.

However, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan admit that Li Longji’s equestrian skills are very good, not average, including riding and shooting. In terms of water quality, let alone others, Beckham can kill ten Li in the current sea. Longi.

Don't look at Li Longji's swimming in the unsink lake in the capital, and he has also been to swim in the big pond without salt water. It seems very easy to swim around.

That’s different. There is salt in the sea, and the buoyancy is greater than that of fresh water. But ah, there are waves in the sea. Not everyone can surf and shuttle in the waves, and not everyone can be beaten by the waves. , Can still swim back down the water.

With Li Longji, a master swimmer in calm water, two waves fell, and he was confused.

Li Longji was also self-aware. He put on a life jacket and carried a bag with food and fresh water on his body so as not to accidentally fall and be washed away by the waves. He couldn't wait for the rescue of others to die of thirst.

"Uncle the emperor, don't be afraid, I'm guarding by your side. If you really got on the boat and capsized, I will take you back. It is probably impossible, but you can still float on the water."

Xiaobei ran to sit beside Li Longji, and the other children were also responsible for everyone. Don't look at the water quality of Xiaoyuan and others a little bit worse than Xiaobei, but it depends on who they are compared with.

Gao Lishi, Wang Ju, Queen Wang, Concubine Wu Hui, and Pan'er were both guarded by Xiaobei and others. The two men responsible for rocking the boat were equally good.

There were three large ships, two gunboats, and a troop carrier, heading towards the nearest lighthouse.

"Xiaobao, the tortoiseshell is here, how can I find it?" Li Longji was so close to the waves for the first time. In order to ease the tension in his heart, he had to talk to Zhang Xiaobao.

Zhang Xiaobao was holding a telescope in his hand and looking at the sea. He didn't care about the current wind and waves. He was to see if sharks came over, although sharks did not overturn the boat much.

Hearing Li Longji's question, he replied: "After arriving at the lighthouse, I will go down to see if I can catch one."
