Chapter 301

Liu Xiu looked at Xiang Ge with a serious expression.

After a moment's deliberation, Liu Xiu said without hesitation: "I have different opinions about elder GE's words."

"Wuxi people have lived in the mountains for generations. Why?"

"It's not because the generations of Wuxi people don't want to leave, it's because there is no place for Wuxi people to live outside, it's because the people outside are hostile to Wuxi people."

"According to elder Taige, it's a rule for the ancestors of the Wuxi people to live in the mountains. Then, the ancestors of the Wuxi people may not even have clothes at first. Since it is the ancestor's rule, why did elder Taige put on his clothes? What's more, the clothes that elder Taige wears are not the clothes of ordinary Wuxi people, but the clothes of Han people. "

Liu Xiu had a smile at the corner of his mouth and said, "elder Pange, am I right?"

"Sophistry!" he said coldly

Liu Xiu shook his head and said: "elder Pange, what Wuxi people have done for generations is the environment at that time. The conditions at that time limited us to do that. The ancestors of the Wuxi people may have lived in caves. Why do all the Wuxi people live in houses now? "

Liu Xiu's tone gradually showed his sharpness and said, "elder Pange obeys the opinions of his ancestors and respects them so much. Why don't you live in a cave and imitate them? The truth is the same. With good conditions and good environment, why not accept it? "

"You, you, you sophistry."

She blushed and was short of breath.

His original intention was not to say the rules of his ancestors, but Liu Xiu misinterpreted the meaning, which made it difficult for him to refute.

Liu Xiu continued: "elder Pange said that I was sophistry, so I'll change it."

She snorted, but said nothing.

Liu Xiu continued: "dare to ask elder Ge, do you read and read?"

"No reading, no literacy." Elder Taige shook his head and said, "what do you do in the mountains? Can you make a meal? Can reading bring food and meat? In my opinion, reading is useless. "

Liu Xiu laughed, his face full of disdain.

He also sneered and said, "Mr. Liu, if you think reading is useful, please tell me. What's the use of reading in our mountains? "

Liu Xiu said: "at a large scale, reading is sensible and opens up wisdom."

"For example, when there is a conflict in the Shanzhai, someone has to judge whether it is good or bad. Then what is the basis for judging? Judge by reason. If you don't read, if you don't understand, your judgment will lose fairness and justice. "

"Elder Taige is a rude man. When you deal with things, you may be preconceived to judge who is good and who is bad, and then punish them directly. But scholars are different. They will analyze, find out the reasons and ask who is wrong and where is wrong? How to punish for mistakes? How should he be taught to correct his mistakes so as not to commit them again

He looked at the people around him and saw that they were looking at him. He hummed and did not answer.

In fact, that's how he does things.

He was in the tribe. He thought that what he had judged was correct. He didn't want any analysis, correction and instruction, as Liu Xiu said.

Liu Xiu's expression became calmer and calmer, and he continued: "it's hard to understand the truth. After listening to it, you will not accept it. Well, I'll talk about the most practical thing about reading. "

"First, you can judge the weather by reading. For people in the mountains, it's best to go hunting on a sunny day. If you just go out for an hour, you will encounter a downpour, and all of them are drowned, and all the wild animals are hidden, how can you hunt? "

"Second, you can look for water after reading books. Although there is a stream near Dazhai, who can guarantee that the stream will not stop? In case of drought, the stream will be cut off. In this case, after reading a book, you can look for water according to the knowledge of the book, or dig a well to get water. "

"Third, you can understand arithmetic after reading. Everyone should understand the most basic arithmetic, otherwise you count ten eggs to nine. How can you do that? "

"Fourth, you can eat meat after reading. Why do you say that? Because after reading the book, you can infer from the traces on the ground that where there will be wild animals and where there will be animals, and then set traps for hunting. "

"Fifth, reading books can make clothes. For example, as long as you study art, you can understand how to make clothes. You can make clothes with silk. "

"Sixth,..."

……

Liu Xiu kept counting all kinds of uses, and said directly what was useful.

When she heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched.

Liu Xiu continued: "in the mountains, reading books is so useful? If you come out of the mountain, what are the benefits of reading? If you read a book and open up your wisdom, you may become an official and take charge of one side. "

"Take charge of Youyang County, for example, Wuling county."

"Which of the officials of the imperial court, those who are famous in the history, are not the people who read books? Although the people of Wuxi live in the mountains and have no conditions to study for the time being, it does not mean that they have no conditions in the future. ""Elder Taige, if you don't study, you will be like this all your life. You are an old man."

"But do you want your children and grandchildren, your descendants, to live by hunting in the mountains all the time? What if there are no wild animals in the mountains? "

"Wuxi people used to be in the mountains because they didn't have a chance to go out. Now that we have the opportunity to let our children read and get rid of their difficulties, why not give it a try? "

"Even if you can't read, you can still cultivate farmland and learn arts when you get out of the mountains and forests. There are ways to live."

Liu Xiu's eyes and grammar were sharp, and he said, "elder Pange, do you understand that?"

He sighed and said, "I don't object to moving out of the mountain forest." The elders of the other tribes all agreed.

"Elder Pange, no, your third grandson is dead, and your eldest grandson has a slight sign of acne." All of a sudden, a burly man came in quickly, his face full of fear and deep expression.

The so-called acne is smallpox.

With a sad face, he sighed and waved his hand: "cremate the third elder. Keep the elder shut. Don't let him out. It's his nature to survive. If you can't survive, that's life. "

The disease of acne appeared in the mountain, and all the tribes have dealt with it.

All those contaminated are isolated.

There were four grandchildren under the elder's knee. The second and the fourth did not support them. Only the first and the third were left. Now that the third is dead and the eldest is about to die, she is very sad.

Liu Xiu heard the strong man's words, asked: "the boss's acne, is it just infected?"

"Yes

The strong man didn't know who Liu Xiu was, but he replied.

Liu Xiu looked at Xiang Ge and said, "maybe I can save the boss. However, the probability is no more than 30%

"Really? Lord Liu, please. "

In his heart, there is hope, and 30% is also hope. Boss with a slight acne, isolated alone, will die. Now Liu Xiu's words raised the hope for the reform.

"My Lord, as long as I can save my boss, I am willing to move, I am willing to go out of the mountain."

At this time, he had only one thought, that is, to save the life of his boss.

Huang Hu has always been a Muggle. He knows acne. He looks against it and says in a deep voice: "Lord, acne is a terminal disease. Once infected, it will definitely die. I don't recommend your participation. Please think twice. "

Liu xiudao: "people from Wuxi are also people, and people from Jingzhou. They are the people under my command. Since I have a way, I can't help them. Even if it's dangerous, try it. "

"Thank you, my Lord," he said

When he heard the words, he was even more moved.

Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "don't thank me. I don't know if I can succeed." Immediately, Liu Xiu told people to prepare the necessary equipment, let people bring the cattle, ready to give the big brother of the Ge family vaccinated.

In this era, there were basically no medical devices, and even Liu Xiu had a great threat to get close to the leader of the Ge family. Liu Xiu wrapped up his inner and outer layers, smeared a layer of fish glue on his hand, and then inoculated his eldest brother.

In addition, all the other infected people in Wuxi were also vaccinated.

After finishing everything, Liu Xiu came back, took off his clothes, burned them all, and waited for news in the stronghold. The so-called vaccinia vaccination, Liu Xiu is also a risk, because he does not understand many of the principles, can only try.

The next waiting is suffering for those who are isolated and for those outside.

Five days later, two of the more than ten quarantined people died and were burned directly.

The rest are getting better and better.

Seven days later, they all recovered. All the people took off their clothes and burned them all. Then Liu Xiu asked people to prepare wine for disinfection, and then let all the people take a bath and change their clothes.

The eldest brother in his hometown was saved after all.

In this regard, he had great respect for Liu Xiujing.

Wuxi people know Liu Xiu's action and are grateful to him. For a time, Liu Xiu had accumulated a high prestige among the people of Wuxi.
