Aggrieved Fish Sprite: 30|How weird it is

There is a gap behind the tree hole, and there is an earthen stove.
Perhaps Lin Dou had planned to use this place as a hiding place. The earthen stove was on the thick roots of a few feet from the ground. The opening of the flue was very concealed. The heat and smoke just poured into the raised roots and waited for the smoke. As long as you don’t get close, you won’t be able to smell the smoky breath.
When Meng Qi first saw the smoke, his expression changed drastically, and he immediately followed the breath to find the earthen stove.
Huzi squatted by the stove and was fanning the fire. Meng Qi took him aside and was so frightened that his fan fell off.
"Put out the fire!"
"But, the medicine is not ready yet..."
Huzi stammered. Before he finished speaking, Moli followed.
"What's wrong?" Mo Li still didn't understand what was going on.
Meng Qi questioned with a bad expression: "Have you never seen the quagmire formed by the corruption of branches and leaves in the mountains? What if an open flame is lit there?"
Marsh gas is usually found in the swamp, and the mountain people can often see bubbles continuously emerging from the surface of the mud pool. If a candle falls in, you can instantly see sparks, like firecrackers. The mountain people don't know what it is, and it is usually called a monster.
Because it involves monsters, Moli naturally went to see it.
These quagmire usually has an unpleasant smell.
Moli gave firewood to Huzi to make medicine, precisely because he didn’t smell this smell after entering the ancient forest, and because Huzi said that they had heated hot water, and Moli looked at the direction where Huzi went. If it's not the ground, it doesn't care.
As a result, Meng Qi was reminded that Doctor Mo only saw the flue of the earthen stove. He was taken aback for a moment, then was shocked, and directly put out the fire in the stove.
"What's the matter with this flue? Why do you want to exhaust smoke like this?"
As soon as Mo Li spoke, he thought of Lin Dou's thoughts. This person was probably afraid that the smoke would be discovered, so he covered it up like this, but isn't this looking for death?
There is no smell in the forest, it may be because of the snow and ice.
Under the tree roots is the old sapropel, and the heat and smoke will melt the snow and ice.
"How deep is the rotting ooze on the ground?" Moli asked.
"No, it's not too deep." Huzi was taller, about to his knees.
Mo Li was not at ease, he told Huzi: "This stove, don't use it anymore."
If the methane in the mud pours in along the flue, it accumulates, and it heats up and encounters an open flame, let alone a child of Huzi, even a martial arts master would be choking.
The black carp picked up the tiger and retreated to another tree.
Huzi looked confused and didn't understand how a fire would cause trouble. They still used it for several days!
Meng Qi walked around the earthen stove and found that although the opening of the flue was pierced into the roots of the tree, the other parts were still exposed, only to cover up. After pulling aside the dry vines, the flue is not well sealed, and smoke is still leaking out in some places.
"How is it?"
"There is no danger for the time being. There is no obvious smell near the roots of the tree." Meng Qi returned to his leisurely and calm appearance, he calmly smiled, "Maybe luck, there is not much biogas here, maybe it's a stupid person. It must be favored by heaven."
Doctor Mo was a little puzzled. When he saw the unqualified and unsealed flue, he was speechless for a while.
Meng Qi seemed to be interested, he said with emotion: "There are always some people who are favored by God, stupidly looking for death, and then escaped because of their poor ability. The ghost door closed and walked back and forth, still nothing. I know. In this world, the confused people have no troubles, and the sober people live in pain. Doctor, do you think I should give up something and just let it go?"
Doctor Mo didn't even think about it, and asked in amazement: "Why do you think confused people are not troubled?"
"Every day I ate and slept, and ate after I slept, what's the trouble?"
"That's not a foolish person, it's a pig." Mo Li retorted solemnly, "Lin Dou is a foolish person in your mouth, dare you say he has no troubles?"
Take a legacy from the previous dynasty, hide from the east and live in the west. I finally settled down in Qinghu Town, but I met the Holy Lotus Altar, biting my teeth and staying at the Holy Lotus Altar, it happened again. Time epidemic. Who can change this situation?
"Don't talk about Lin Dou, just talk about Huzi, doesn't he have troubles?" Mo Li smoothly wiped the ashes on Huzi's face.
Huzi blinked and lowered his head awkwardly.
This child is still young, and Mo Li doesn't know if he understands what Lin Dou said just now.
But even if you don’t know your life experience, you can find many unusual places, such as why there are no parents, why they are hunted down, why everyone around them is gone and only Lin Dou is left. For a child, It's annoying enough.
"The farmer is worried about the year's harvest, the merchant is worried about the loss of the goods, and even fools who don’t know anything are afraid of being beaten when walking on the road. People have no long-term worries, and there must be near-worries. There is no trouble in the world People? Those who admire ordinary people at sunrise and rest at sunset must be rich and noble people who have never tasted the hard work of farming, and those who admire others who live in confusion are smart people who want to come." Mo Li said, warning expressionlessly. Meng Qi, "If you want to boast, just say it directly, don't be so tactful."
Meng Qi is dumb.
He does always think of himself unusually in his heart, different from ordinary people, but just now he really didn't boast about being smart. Did the doctor misunderstand something?
Do you need to explain to the doctor?
Meng Qi struggled for a while, and suddenly realized that the other party was deliberate.
——In order to stop him from digging in the horns.
Meng Qi stretched his eyebrows. He looked at Mo Li's eyes deeper and deeper. He thought how could he meet such a person?
The black carp picked up the earthen jar on the stove. The medicine hadn't been cooked yet, and a strong bitter taste had already emerged.
The earthen jar is very hot, and the ink carp doesn't care at all.
"If the doctor doesn't mind, I can help." Meng Qi took the initiative to take the medicine jar.
Moli was a little worried, and looked at the tree hole in front of him and motioned: "You don't know how long it will take. I will find some firewood elsewhere and cook the medicine. Lin Dou's illness will heal sooner, and he can do it too. Take the tiger and leave Qinghu Town as soon as possible."
Meng Qi thought that it was indeed the case, so he agreed to stay here to take care of him and wait for Moli to return.
Huzi saw that the good-tempered doctor was gone, so he moved quietly away from Meng Qi.
"Afraid of me?" Meng Qi raised his eyebrows.
Huzi curled his neck, no quibble, but nodded honestly.
Meng Qi couldn't help squinting his eyes, thinking that this kid is very smart and knows how to winks.
A noble bloodline, and forced to flee, not only does not look pretentious, but will look at people's winks. What does this show?
The life of this child was not easy. Although the guards did their best to protect him, they did not respect him as a superior person. What they protected was only the blood of Prince Zhaohua.
So Lin Dou didn't tell Huzi the truth, and he restrained the child a lot, not allowing him to communicate with outsiders, and not allowing him to eat food given by outsiders. Lin Dou and others sacrificed their lives to protect this child, and the child must "righteously" in order to survive. The two are actually accomplishing tasks of the same nature.
The difference is that Lin Dou is voluntary and Hu Zi has no choice.
"You can make a fire, and you can burn a stove." Meng Qi looked at the child in front of him and said to himself: "Interesting, really interesting."
Huzi didn't know what he was talking about, so he could only hide in the corner.
The child touched the goose bumps on his arm, and looked down thinking that this person is really good-looking, but also really scary. When he glanced at it, it was like being carried by a knife on his neck, and his whole body was chilled, as if all the clothes were gone, and all the secrets were exposed to the other's eyes.
The more scared the tiger, the higher Meng Qi's interest, he suddenly felt that teasing children is also a good way to pass the time.
"Tell me, what are you thinking now?"
"..."
"Do you want to try the consequences of not telling or telling the truth?" Meng Qi directly threatened him, without any guilty conscience of bullying the child.
Huzi shook his head hurriedly and whispered: "I'm thinking about when the doctor will come back."
It's not that I hope that Uncle Lin's medicine will be ready soon, but that with the doctor's presence, this person will converge.
Meng Qi saw through the child's thoughts at a glance, and smiled: "Yes, the doctor is a good man and can control me. It's a pity that he can't come back for the time being. You go on to say, don't try to get through, I'll wait. "
Huzi was embarrassed and couldn't help but leaned back against the tree trunk and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito and flies: "...I, I was thinking, in fact, you are the national teacher that Uncle Lin said."
"Oh?"
"...You are just afraid of trouble and don't want to take over my trouble." Huzi lowered his head and repeated, "I know I am a trouble. Uncle Lin is always dissatisfied with me. I can't do anything. Good."
Meng Qi is noncommittal: "What else?"
Huzi was stunned for a while, then suddenly pulled the jade pendant off his neck and handed it to Meng Qi.
"Leaving this thing by my side will always cause trouble for me and Uncle Lin."
Meng Qi was a little surprised this time. He thought the child was just retreating just now and wanted to keep himself.
Huzi held the jade pendant, and whispered: "In fact, Uncle Lin said in a dream, he hoped that I could be a great person, but I can't recite poems, nor can I learn martial arts..."
Meng Qi didn't wait for him to finish, he picked up the person directly and went into the tree hole.
Lin Dou was lying on the bed with all thoughts grayed out. When he saw Meng Qi bringing the tiger in, his eyes suddenly brightened.
"Do you know what stupid thing you did?" Meng Qi didn't give Lin Dou a chance to speak, and he screamed.
Lin Dou was very at a loss at first, and was secretly annoyed by the scolding. When he realized that his flue almost blasted the tree hole, his expression turned into horror, and the whole person was terrified.
Meng Qi didn't give him any face, and continued to yell: "You don't know who I am, so you dare to care for the lonely? Even if I am the former Meng Guoshi, I will definitely protect this child? You know you say you are about to die. What was your expression at the time? At that time, you seemed to have thrown off a heavy burden. How obvious you were, even the child knew it!"
Lin Dou looked at Huzi in shock, but Huzi pouted and said nothing.
Meng Qi sneered and said: "Leave aside, you want to keep Prince Zhaohua’s bloodline, why don’t you throw away this jade pendant? The world is in chaos, and there are rebels everywhere. Now the court does not control the people. Strictly, if you want to hide, how can you be spotted so many times that you are the only one left in the end? Have you contacted the former Ministry of Foreign Affairs to find a good opportunity to restore the country?"
Lin Dou retorted instinctively: "I didn't think about it a long time ago. I just want to protect the tiger so that he can grow up steadily."
"It can be seen that otherwise he would not make a fire, just like a normal child. But even so, you still don’t give up, entrust the tiger to me, the burden you throw out is not a trouble The legacy of the previous dynasty is the idea of rejuvenation."
Meng Qi held his hand and exposed Lin Dou mercilessly, "You do want to give up, but you are afraid that you will lose face when you die... I think about it, maybe it's your father, maybe it's your colleague. , I even feel ashamed to see Prince Zhaohua."
Lin Dou couldn't speak, and after a long while, he staggered up and said in pain: "I know what the national teacher said. But they are all dead. Before they die, they put hope on me. It was me. Living to the end, if Huzi becomes an ordinary person, I... why did I live to the end? If it’s not about myself, I can also speak high-sounding words!"
"Why, are you still not convinced?" Meng Qi sneered and said sarcastically, "Qi Dynasty only ruled the north of the Yangtze River, and there were several kings in the south, all of the blood of the previous dynasty, and the land of the Chu Dynasty has not all fallen. National affairs, why do you have to come with this kid?"
Lin Dou shook his head and said with difficulty: "The few kings in the south of the Yangtze River are not able to become a climate. In order to fight for the position of orthodoxy, they beat their heads first."
Meng Qi caresss his palm and smiles: "Really? But you are all the same, you like to talk about orthodoxy. Now you have an orthodox bloodline in your hand. If you now have a hundred thousand army, a land of one state, please The child is the king. Then, when the sky comes down to worship, count the kings and confess that he is the emperor of the true dragon?"
"..."
"So, what's the use of orthodoxy?" Meng Qi looked indifferent, and said, "If you have the skills and this child is capable, you can start from scratch and fight for power. If you can't do it, just do it. Stay incognito and live a good life. For people like you who are superstitious in orthodox blood, isn’t the most urgent task to guard this child, raise him, and let him set up a family and inherit the family?"
After Meng Qi finished speaking, he went out of the tree hole without looking at Lin Dou's reaction.
The black carp was standing outside holding the medicine jar, and they happened to ran into each other.
"...The national teacher is so prestigious." Doctor Mo said quietly.
"Oh, I think that child is pathetic." Meng Qi stood straight, but his eyes drifted away.
Mo Li laughed and said, "You seem to be in a much better mood with this round of scolding? Why don't you scold Lin Dou a few more times. I will treat him and I can treat you. It's killing two birds with one stone."
Meng Qi quickly said: "This recipe is not good. Although I don’t remember the past, I don’t want to touch the old things in the Chu Dynasty at all! I don’t know how the former emperor offended me. I think of him. I feel bored, as if I saw flies in the soup."
"This feels right."
Mo Lei looked at Meng Qi and said thoughtfully, "My teacher said, Li Yuanze, the founding king of the Chu Dynasty, was just a small senator at the frontier in his early years. The officials of the Chen dynasty were corrupt and the people didn’t have a chance to live, so after he rose up to rebel, they responded in groups. Li Yuanze, a man who has both the appearance of a hero, and the aspiration of the master, he knows people and uses them well, and Wu Lue’s literary and Taoism are all first-class. He had many adversaries, and he was surrounded by a combination of civil and military forces, and eventually ruled the world. He began to cut his military power within a few years as an emperor. In his later years, he became even more faint. He persecuted the veterans intensified and pave the way for his descendants to take the imperial power alone. Jiuhou, there are both conspiracy charges, and people like Jing Yuanhou who died unclearly. You think Li Yuanze is like a fly in the soup. This is a good analogy. You may indeed be Meng Guoshi. General Liu didn’t say that Meng Qi Is it also Li Yuanze’s founding hero? It’s not surprising that a disgusting king who has turned his back and killed his loyal minister and good general."
Meng Qi was silent, and he pointed to his face for a long while: "Doctor, then do you think I will have any memories of past lives, otherwise I can't live forever, and I can't rejuvenate, why am I so young..."
"I suspect that you are not human. For example, monsters will not grow old."
Mo Li left this sentence and left, leaving Meng Qiru struck by thunder and standing there stupefied.
So his past...Is the monster going down the mountain to help others fight the world?
Why does it sound so ridiculous?
