Tang Qi Tan

Chapter 11 The Human Way
Wanting to draw in a person's relationship is complicated enough to constitute a sociological system on interpersonal communication; but at the same time, it is relatively simple to talk about with a certain experience;
One is an environment and experience that is empathetic enough, such as the so-called three basic principles of life.This point is placed in the same prison and has no direct interest, and people's understanding and tolerance of similar encounters will increase.

Then it is to be a suitable listener, or to properly guide the topic that the other party confides to you, so as to quickly reach the level of intimacy and familiarity; finally, to be able to properly expose its short and insignificant details, to form a certain A contrasting sense of psychological accomplishment.

After doing this, there is still a certain distance between others and your confidant and best friend who talk about everything; but it is no problem to think that you are an interesting and kind person.

Therefore, although in theory prisons are not allowed to communicate with each other as collusion; Jiang Tian also roughly grasped the identities of various people in the same prison through the interaction between daily stories and the indirect feedback between prison guards ;
There are cursing masters from the Zhu You Division of the Taiyuan Hospital, teaching assistants from the Imperial University Hall, government-run liquor merchants, alchemists under the name of Qin Tianjian, and officials under the Zuo Tongzheng Division. . . . .There is even a small servant of the yellow gate who is locked here for some unknown reason; basically representing all kinds of existences in Beijing, Chinese officials and technical circles.

But the one with the highest specific status is the somewhat crazy "Mr. Feng". It is said that before he was crazy, he was an official of the former prince's East Palace.Then, the one who received the most preferential treatment in terms of daily remuneration was the "Gong Lu" who seemed to be from the North Military Academy in the large single room diagonally opposite to "Mr. Feng";
It can be said that apart from not being able to walk out of this courtyard, all food, clothing and daily life are just like being at home, and all kinds of household items are luxurious and high-end items that are frequently replaced.Even the supervisor and supervisor who came to inspect the prison from time to time spoke to him politely and greeted him first.

It was even whispered among the jailers that this man could have been released a long time ago, but he didn't want to just go out like this and continue to stay here.In daily life, this person has no sense of presence. Basically, except for the exclusive time to go to the top terrace to bask in the sun, he has been nestled in the cell that looks like a luxury hotel, reading, annotating, practicing calligraphy, and drawing constantly. .

It was also because of the previous emergency that Jiang Tian was moved to a position closer to him, and he was able to learn more about these other things.And the standard of the other party's meal is obviously much higher than his own, and it is far above most of the people here; therefore, even the standard of half a meal is a richness with seasonal fresh meat and vegetables.

For example, Fan Shizi brought a porcelain bowl of soup made of tender minced waterfowl meat and tofu, mutton sauce cooked with green beans, fried balls with water chestnut and egg fillings; Boil fish soup.There is also a small plate of black snakeheads soaked in green salt and bitter orange juice.

After Jiang Tian finished his meal, he touched his stomach and felt that he couldn't eat anymore, so he asked someone to take his share back.Then he cleared his throat and began to read a long song that has been processed and changed by later generations:
"First, it's best not to meet each other, so that you don't fall in love.

The second best is not knowing each other, so can not Acacia.

Third, it is best not to accompany each other, so you can not owe each other.

Fourth, it is best not to cherish each other, so that you can not remember each other.

Fifth, it is best not to love each other, so you can not abandon each other.

Sixth best not relative, so can not meet.

Seventh, it’s best not to make mistakes, so that they don’t make mistakes.

The eighth is best not to agree, so it can be discontinued.

Ninth best not dependent, so can not Xiang Wei.

Tenth best not to meet, so can not meet.

But once you meet, you know each other, how can you meet when you don’t see each other.

Ande and the king will say goodbye to each other, so as not to teach life and death to be lovesick. "

"This is the "Ten Commandments of Lovesickness" written by a esoteric Dharma king in the hometown of Magadha in Eastern India, known as the 'Love Monk' by Master Fanyinhai."

However, just after Jiang Tian slowly recounted the true and false jokes about the sixth Dalai Lama, I don't know how long it has passed.Because of the tiredness after a full meal, he fell asleep more and more drowsily; it seemed that he had returned to a hall full of rich and magnificent furnishings, and the walls were painted with lacquer carvings. The voice is solemnly explaining:

"From today onwards, you are truly the only one here... the young master..."

Then the scene changed into a garden full of flowers, in a greenhouse inlaid with large pieces of colored glass, and there was another voice whose face was unclear under the sunlight:
"Perhaps you can't be blamed for this, but there's no need to stay in this family anymore. Master Pu Ning of Xingshan Temple, who has a close relationship with our family, will teach you well in the future..."

Then, the scene changed again to the side pavilion of the majestic and majestic Buddhist hall. A female visitor with teary eyes but still unable to see her face clearly, and her gorgeous dress and ring ringing, said in a choked voice:
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I know that you are a considerate child, and you have given me a lot of comfort; all this is not your fault, but there is no way, there can be no other accidents and variables in my family. . You are the flaw..."

Then, the screen jumped to a courtyard library with a strong smell of sandalwood and old books. The female visitor, who also couldn't see her face clearly, said in a somewhat pleased voice:

"The lord has already agreed to let you adopt to the uncle of the [-]th family of Lanxi Fang who has no sons and heirs in Luozhou Fan. You will only stay for a few days, and you won't have to stay here to suffer anymore;"

"The uncle of the nineteenth clan only has a few daughters in his family. As long as you can inherit the Zongzhao of the Lanxi house, you will no longer be that shady taboo... I can go with peace of mind..."

However.This scene once again turned into a scene of corpses strewn all over the place, and someone set fire to those bloody post houses, and an old voice said to himself:
"If you stay here, you will still be a source of disaster and harm to our family... But after someone is not hesitating to ask you, although the Lord's intentions have changed, he is still willing to give you a chance..."

"So go to the capital, find a place where the lord and those people can't find you, and hide your name... Maybe you still have a chance to spend the rest of your life like an ordinary family..."

"If you want to blame, it's because you were born into the wrong family and ended up in the wrong place... Maybe you still feel unwilling, but it's not good to live like an ordinary person without any danger..."

"As long as you take this money ticket and send it to Dingyun in Beijing under the Nanfeng Society, you will naturally have no shortage of expenses every month..."

Then, at the moment when the chariots and horses started moving amidst the shouting, the beautifully printed and expensive bills were torn into pieces with a hiss and floated into the air like snowflakes, and the last point related to the last point where I uttered angrily. memory.

"Since you don't want to get involved, then why leave this relationship behind... Let's go with the wind..."

I don't know how long it took, Jiang Tian wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes inadvertently, and got up from the ground again, but he only felt that his heart was full of loss, mixed with traces of nostalgia and sadness.

But then he found that his environment had changed drastically.The dark and boring prison cells are gone, only the golden red mountains and forests under the shining sky, and the Bailian waterfall rushing down in the distance, sprinkled with layers of iridescence; The heart is suddenly enlightened and carefree.

However, the burning stench and bloody smell in the air brought the stunned Jiang Tian back to a certain kind of reality. Could it be that he has passed through again?In the mountain forest not far away, some kind of curling smoke diffused and brought this smell over with the wind.

However, at the next moment, Jiang Tian strode towards the opposite direction without hesitation; what are you kidding, haven't you heard that curiosity killed the cat?I have encountered enough troubles in the past two days, there is no need to cause trouble because of accidents that have nothing to do with me.

However, there was a voice that came out of nowhere, which suddenly startled her.
"Are you the impermanent ghost who came to catch me..."

It was only then that Jiang Tian noticed that under a dead tree full of fallen leaves a few steps away, there was a silhouette of a human figure that was so petite that it was almost invisible:
"Impermanence, you are a big-headed ghost, you are the impermanence, and your whole family is an impermanence ghost..."

Jiang Tian couldn't help but cursed at the reflexive network tripartite:

"Yeah, everyone is dead, how can I live alone, I will be reunited with them in the end..."

A pair of pupils protruding from the dead leaves showed a sad and mournful expression.
