Rising: Ten Thousand Years Chapter 41: : your name

Ten thousand years ago.

Dragging his suitcase, Zhang Zhi came to Xi'an Jiaotong University. After completing the registration for freshmen, he came to the apartment he rented alone outside the school.

She doesn't like living in dorms, because evenings are her own and real time, because there are other people in the dorms.

After taking a hot bath, I felt relaxed and tired.

"Alas."

Stretched and snuggled up on the sofa.

Before she knew it, an inexplicable drowsiness hit her, and she wondered why she suddenly felt so tired. The sleepiness came so suddenly, and it's only noon, okay?

Suddenly, Zhang Zhi frowned, covered Mimi on the left with both hands, and murmured:

"Here... a little pain."

Amidst a tingling pain in the heart or some other part, Zhang Zhi couldn't resist the drowsiness, closed his eyes unknowingly, and fell asleep unknowingly.

————

Ten thousand years later.

'Squeeze, squeak'

The carriage is driving on the Gobi desert.

"I want to see the prince, how do you feel?"

"I don't think so."

"The prince wants to compete with you in learning. I haven't heard of the son of the royal family for so many years. I can't wait to compete with the son of the common people. You are so amazing."

"Hehe, right."

"What's wrong with you? Hot? Heatstroke? There's a lot of sweat on your forehead."

Mingkang reached out his hand to touch Li Zhen's forehead worriedly, but found that Li Zhen was weak at this time, with sunken eyes, and seemed a little haggard and lack of energy.

Li Zhen took a deep breath with some difficulty, subconsciously covered his heart with his hands, and forced a laugh: "I'm fine."

"What's wrong? Why do you always yawn? Didn't sleep well last night?"

Li Zhenxin nodded absently: "Maybe."

"Then you can sleep for a while."

"That's good."

Mingkang and Qi Lengzi looked at each other, and they got out of the carriage, making room for Li Zhen to sleep.

Lengzi Qi poked Mingkang and said in a low voice, "Is he sick during the long-distance raid? You may not know that Li Zhen's health has always been poor. I think he is always weak and fragile. "

Mingkang rubbed his chin and murmured: "It's a little bit. I'm too thin. Maybe this is the reason for long-term malnutrition in my youth? I heard that before Li Zhen was admitted to the number one scholar, his daily staple food was a Dry steamed buns?"

"I only know that when he was in Hangcheng County after the exam, he had a bowl of porridge every day. He was very economical."

"Alas."

Mingkang glanced through the window of the carriage and saw Li Zhen who had fallen asleep unknowingly. Looking at the thin and frail body, he sighed, "Snail."

"Huh?" Qi Lengzi was extremely puzzled.

Mingkang smiled: "He looks like a snail?"

Qi Lengzi suddenly said: "You mean, he is slow?"

"No."

"Then you mean that he likes to eat vegetable leaves?"

“…”

"Does it mean that his white and tender body is like a delicacy?"

“…”

Mingkang rolled his eyes and was no longer interested in chatting with this illiterate.

————

Familiar scenes, familiar darkness, and familiar moonlight.

"I didn't expect to meet you at noon."

"For the first time, I saw you in my nap."

Zhang Zhi and Li Zhen stood face to face, clasped each other's hands and looked at each other with joy in their eyes.

"Haha, if we can meet each other as long as we fall asleep, from now on, I even want to see you all the time."

"Why don't you sleep forever."

"You are so stupid. Long sleep is death."

"Isn't it a great happiness to die in one world and live with you in another world?"

"Ha ha ha ha."

The lover in the dream, the relationship is like glue.

He has always respected her, like his teacher, like an enlightener, more like a sister, and also a daughter-in-law.

She has always cared for him, like a child in a disaster area, like a hero who stands up to heaven and earth, more like a young leader with a dream, and also her own man.

It sounds naive, how can something in a dream be taken seriously? But they mean it.

It seems like a lifetime away.

They all regard this empty space and empty dream as the purest and cleanest world belonging to two people deep in their hearts.

Why not?

Li Zhen said with a sad face:

"The prince summoned me to Jinzhou County to compete with me in knowledge."

Zhang Zhi smiled lightly: "Really, this is a good thing. Like the world proves that you are the best, you are a man who can even compare with the prince."

"However, I am a little worried. If the prince is a person who can't lose, how should I choose?"

"In an era when a hundred flowers are contending, even the sons of the emperor's family need to admit their shortcomings. If they can't even see their own shortcomings, then this dynasty can only become a pompous megalomaniac, and will eventually collapse from within As far as I know, your revival era does not seem to be such a dynasty.”

"People don't want to lose. This is human nature."

"You are very politically intelligent now."

"It's you who taught me well. By the way, maybe I'm about to become an official. I heard Mingkang vaguely reveal to me... Mr. Qian Maoqian of the Kyushu General Administration of Education seems to be advising me and wants me to Don't waste time in the six years of university, let me take office directly and directly investigate. I am a person who is about to become an official, how can I do without a little political IQ?"

"Hahaha. That's good, I'm afraid of stupid nerds. Obviously, you are not."

"The idea of ​​'Governance by Inaction' 10,000 years ago is a great subject. I also have to thank you for always instilling these ideas in me, and now I find them more and more useful."

Zhang Zhi walked around Li Chen with his hands behind his back, jokingly said: "Isn't it that simple that the "Doctrine of the Mean" has been included in the Four Books and Five Classics, and has been passed down for thousands of years? If it was bad, it would have been abandoned by the times long ago. But It has been handed down. However, in our compulsory education here, we don’t learn the Four Books and Five Classics, and they have become some extracurricular readings. It is more suitable for the "people who learn when they are tired" as Confucius said. Learn because of difficulty People, they know their own shortcomings and know that they need to absorb nutrients, so they will take the initiative to find these books to read."

"Such a good book, such a precious idea, why didn't you learn it ten thousand years ago?"

"Learning in ancient times is the enlightenment of children. But in modern times... People say that there are some ignorant wisdom of the ancients in it, and it is easy to become a nerd who can't keep up with the pace of the times. It is not suitable for teenagers to learn. But read it thoroughly Only then can I feel how great these books are. I feel that these books are too deep, divided into two levels: superficial and deep. The officials in charge of education may be afraid that contemporary young people’s literary literacy is not enough to read. This book, if you don’t understand it, you will be misled.”

"Oh? Misleading?"

"Yes. The whole article is about how to be moderate. People who can't read it will think that it is to make people learn to be shy, and let people learn the thinking of 'don't fight for the first, don't fall behind, and just pass it'. In fact, it is wrong, how could the ancients be so stupid."

Li Zhen grinned lightly: "Yes. Maybe what you taught me is the essence, I think, the meaning of it is actually saying: Make a peerless sword that is extremely sharp but conceals it!"

"What do you mean?"

"If you compare people to swords, then some people are peerless and sharp, but they don't have a scabbard. People admire him, but they will be afraid of him and stay away from him. Some people roll their blades everywhere, and the blade is full of gaps. It is a broken sword without a scabbard. So people don't appreciate him, despise him, hate him, and don't bother to talk to him.

And some people are a peerless sharp and murderous sword. But he has a bland scabbard, which covers all his sharpness, and only at critical moments will he draw his sword to kill people. Because of the scabbard, people admire him, fear him, like him, and worship him, but they dare to approach him and get close to him.

It seems... knowledge, courage, and courage are the sharpness of a sword. And the idea of ​​the mean is trying to build a bland scabbard for itself, right? "

Zhang Zhi opened his mouth wide in astonishment, and said, "You... summed it up very well. So?"

"So I'm a bitch!"

"Hahahaha!"

This time ~IndoMTL.com~ did not talk about mathematics, physics and chemistry, nor the future direction. Zhang Zhi didn't tell him that he was waiting for him in Xi'an ten thousand years ago. Li Zhen did not confide his heart and pain to her.

This time, they talked about "The Doctrine of the Mean" in depth. It is sharp and moderate.

In the end, they chatted about a question they've wanted to know for a year.

"You, what's your name?"

Zhang Zhi was stunned for a moment, with a hint of joy in his eyes, and a hint of impatient anxiety, as if he was afraid that he would not be able to speak anymore after a while. Yes, I finally remembered...

"Zhangzhi, Zhangzhi. My name is Zhangzhi. Zhangzhi of the article, so far. Zhangzhi, remember my name, my name is Zhangzhi."

Li Zhenxin was inexplicably shocked, inexplicably, tears flowed out. He didn't know why he shed tears, why, a feeling of loss, discomfort, reluctance, and pain suddenly appeared in his heart?

Why? Why do you feel this way?

Looking at Zhang Zhi, tears were also streaming down that white face.

Zhang Zhi didn't know why he burst into tears, a kind of bitter tears.

"Li Zhen. My name is Li Zhen. My surname is Li, and my name is Li Zhen. You remember my name."

Zhang Zhi touched Li Zhen's face, wiped away his tears, and said softly: "Li Zhen, I will remember, your name is Li Zhen."

Li Zhen hugged Zhang Zhi in his arms and shouted: "Zhang Zhi! Your name is Zhang Zhi, and I will remember you and your name forever."

It's been over a year since they finally called out each other's names.

Suddenly, the two of them inexplicably felt a stabbing pain in their hearts.

I woke up from the dream...
