In the spring of the second year of Yuan Zhishun [1331], Ji Xu went to Beijing for the fourth time to take the exam and failed.
Before entering Beijing, his father told him that if he failed the exam again this time, he would stay in the capital to continue studying and wait for the next scientific exam.
?As Qixi Festival approached, Ji Xu felt very uncomfortable in his heart. He was restless all day long, always feeling that something happened at home, which was tugging at his soul. I couldn't bear it any longer in the capital, so I packed up my luggage and hurried home.
The boat was going relatively fast, and when it reached Kuizhou [2], it encountered wind and waves. Of the dozen or so people on the boat, except for him who knew a little bit of kung fu and the boatman who climbed ashore, the rest were all dead.

Money is a man,
Having no money is difficult for a man.
After Ji Xu went ashore, he was penniless, so he had to beg along the way to go home.
He used the bamboo flute he carried with him to play a piece of music for people in taverns sometimes, and sometimes he used the flute as a sword in the street to show a set of sword skills for passers-by.
In mid-October, Ji Xu finally returned to Chengdu.
When he saw that his home was robbed, the house was burned, and his family members were killed, he was so frightened that he sat paralyzed in front of his own door.
Under the attack of fear, sorrow, remorse, disappointment, sadness and many other emotions, countless gray hairs appeared on the temples.
I saw his hair turning from black to gray and from gray to white one by one. Ji Xu, who was less than twenty years old, had gray hair overnight.

When I was young, I was a brother, and I grew up in various villages.
Don't be jealous of wealth, don't be jealous of food, don't resent life, don't resent death.
After five or six days of trekking, Ji Xu came to his hometown in Xichong County, Shunqing Road [now Xichong County, Nanchong City] to ask for help.
The uncle pulled his face and said: "When your family was rich, did you help me? The family is in trouble, and I think of your uncle coming. When we were young, your father and I were real brothers. I did the work for him and scolded me for him. But after we got married, your father cared more about me than the neighbors .¡±
"My parents are gone, so what's the use of talking about it? Can you lend me some silver taels first, so I can get by."
"At that time, you were so crazy that you passed the exam. Did you know your uncle at that time?"
"Uncle, I was only an eight-year-old child at the time, and I didn't know anything about madness. Can you lend me some money first, I have to rent a house to live in first."
The uncle seems to have remembered something: "Didn't your father give all the money to your uncle? Why don't you go to your uncle to get the money back? Then you won't be able to spend it all in a few lifetimes"
"Even if I go to ask for it, I still have to pay for it. All the money I had on me was lost in the river when the boat capsized."
"I paid for the funeral expenses of all of you. I spent a lot of money. I have done my best. Now I don't have much money, so I have to save it for you three. Cousin is used to marry a daughter-in-law, so take the two taels of silver and go to your uncle."

There are wine and meat and many brothers,
I have never seen a person in an emergency.
In desperation, Ji Xu had no choice but to return to Chengdu.
He first wrote a letter to his uncle who lives on Xuzhou Road [now Yibin], asking him to send him some money to maintain his current livelihood.
Thinking back to those brothers who ate, drank and played together, chanted prostitutes and sang fun together, there is no trace.

? Living in poverty and bustling city with no one to ask,
Fu has distant relatives in the mountains.
The two taels of silver in Ji Xu's hand were spent in a few days, and he stood in front of his house and wept.
The Ji family compound, which used to be full of traffic, has now become a deserted ruin; those relatives who can come to the door no matter how far they are, now tightly shut their doors.

People are poor and short-sighted, while horses are thin and long-haired.
Every day he looks forward to seeing through, eagerly hoping that his uncle can send him some money to save him from the fire. But I sent a lot of letters, but there was always no news.
Originally, Ji Xu wanted to beg all the way to find his uncle, but he was worried that Liu Haohao would not find him when he came back, so he couldn't bear to make her worry. Besides, even if he finds his uncle, what if he treats him like an uncle????

He can only live on the street.
The former high-spirited and suave young man disappeared, and what appeared in front of everyone was a beggar with a yellow face, thin face and messy white hair, who became a helpless vagabond.
[Song] "When, the lights are shining every night, I start to wander. The bustling city wanders at night, without an end, without a clear direction.
Home, although owned but empty, condensed emptiness is afraid of looking back. Love is still cold, people are still cold, afraid to go home and look at the wall again. Let me think about all your fantasies, flip through them in boredom, and wander in the memories. Thinking about you again, thinking about it hurts my heart, knowing that it's the same to be emotional, negative, and unfeeling!
Think, there is no hope of getting you, and escape some impressions of the past. I bury my head into the vast night, let me wander alone chicly.
The weather is still cold, people are still cold, and I am afraid to look at the wall again when I go home. "

Notes
[1] "Zengguang Xianwen" (fourth episode)
When you go, you have to go, and you can't stay again and again. Tolerate a sentence, calm your anger, forgive, and take a step back. Thirty is not rich, forty is not rich, and fifty will lead to death. Life does not recognize the soul, death does not recognize the corpse. Parents are deeply affectionate, and husband and wife are also separated. Life is like birds staying in the same forest, when disaster strikes, they fly separately. People who are good are bullied, and horses who are good are ridden by others. A man is not rich without windfall, and a horse is not fat without night grass. People who are evil are not afraid of the sky, and people who are good are not bullied by the sky. Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, we only hope to come early and come late. There is still a day of clarification for the Yellow River, how can people not have luck? Think of being humiliated when you are favored, and be prepared for danger in times of peace. Nian Nian is like facing the enemy's day, and my heart is always like when crossing a bridge. The hero walks the dangerous road, and the wealth is like a flower branch. When you are young, you don't know that spring is good, I'm afraid that autumn will be cold. Send you thousands of miles, there will be a farewell. But I will watch the crab with cold eyes and see how long it will run amok! Don't tell what you see, don't know when you ask. Don't mind your own business, return early if you have nothing to do. Fake satin dyed is really red, and others say right and wrong. Good things can be done, but evil things should not be done. Promise one thing, a thousand pieces of gold will not move. Dragons give birth to dragons, and tigers give birth to tigers. Longyou was teased by shrimps in shallow water, and tigers were bullied by dogs in the plains. In one fell swoop, he entered the Dragon and Tiger Ranking for the first time, and entered the Phoenix Pool in ten years. After ten years of hard work, no one asked him, and he became famous all over the world in one fell swoop. Alcohol debts are common everywhere, and life is rare since ancient times in the seventies! Raise children to prevent old age, accumulate grain to prevent hunger. Chickens, pigs, dogs, and pigs can never lose their seasons, and a family of several can live without hunger. Always think about the day when there is no day, don't treat no time as time. The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop, the child wants to support but the relatives don't wait. From time to time, the wind will send Tengwang Pavilion to Lei Hongjian's stele. When you get started, don't ask about the prosperity and decline, and you will know it by looking at the face. The officials are clean and the officials are thin, but the master of the temple of the gods is fat. Stop the wrath of thunder, stop the power of tigers and leopards. Letting people count as knowledge, and losing people counts as knowledge. Kind words are hard to come by, but bad words are easy to inflict. Once a word is spoken, it is hard to follow. Choose the good ones and follow them, and change the bad ones. If you don't work hard when you are young, the old man will be sad. If people have good wishes, God will bless them. Don't drink Maoshi wine, you will be so faint and drunk. Don't scold your wife when you are young, you will be lonely all night.
[2] Kuizhou
Kuizhou is Fengjie County in Chongqing City, located in the east of Chongqing City, and belongs to the heart of the Three Gorges Reservoir Area of ??the Yangtze River.
Fengjie, in the pre-Qin period, belonged to the domain of Jingliang. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, it was the capital of the Yufu Kingdom, with a history of more than 2,800 years. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Yuyi was ruled by the Yong State, and later belonged to the Ba State, and it belonged to the Chu State during the Warring States Period. In the 25th year of King Zhou An (377 BC), King Chusu built a pass at the mouth of the Qutang Gorge to reject the Kingdom of Shu.
During the Three Kingdoms period, in the second year of Zhangwu in the Shu Han Dynasty (222), the name of the county was changed from Yufu County to Yong'an County, and the governor of Yong'an was established. In the third year of Zhangwu (223), Liu Bei defeated Yiling, retreated to Baidi City, and entrusted Gu to Yong'an Palace in Fengjie. Later Wu general Quan Cong attacked and was unable to defeat him. In the end of the Shu Han Dynasty, Baidi City was always used as an important town. In the sixth year of Wei Jingyao's reign (263), Wei destroyed Shu, so Wang Jun was sent to guard Bajun, planning to attack Wu.
In the Tang Dynasty, in the early years of Wude (618), Badong County was changed to Xinzhou and Renfu County (now Fengjie) was changed. In the second year of Wude (619), to avoid the taboo of Tang Gaozu's grandfather Dugu, he changed his name to Kuizhou, set the general manager's mansion here, and soon changed it to the governor's mansion. In the fourth year of Wude (621), Li Xiaogong and Li Jing's troops left Kuizhou to put down the separatist forces in Xiaomian. In the 23rd year of Zhenguan (649), in order to respect Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei's quality of "entrusting the orphan to entrust his life, but not to be taken away at the big festival", Renfu County was changed to Fengjie County.
In the second year of Qiande (964) of the Northern Song Dynasty, he conquered Houshu, dispatched Liu Guangyi and others from Guizhou to conquer Kuizhou, and completely flattened the middle of the gorge. Xiaxi Road). In the fourth year of Xianping (1001), it was analyzed that Fengjiexia West Road was set up as Kuizhou Road, and Fengjie was governed. After the Southern Song Dynasty, the Governor's Mansion was placed here. The scope of Kuizhou Road covers most of today's Chongqing, eastern Sichuan, western Hubei and most of Guizhou. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, it was the national anti-Yuan command center of the Southern Song Dynasty for a period of time.
In the Yuan Dynasty, Kuizhou Road was established, and Fengjie was still governed. It was a second-level administrative unit (equivalent to the current prefecture-level city) and governed the current Dazhou area, Northeast Chongqing area and Enshi area. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
