Wonderful book excerpts
That year, Han Shin was twenty years old. After being reprimanded by the drifting mother, Han Xin practiced swords Xi martial arts and studied the art of war Xi more diligently. He no longer always avoids the crowd, but often runs to the lively places in the county, lingers in restaurants and tea shops, secretly listens to news from all over the world, and only waits for an opportunity to go out of the mountains and enter the WTO.
On this day, Han Xin had just come out of the restaurant, passing by the entrance of the vegetable market, and was suddenly stopped by a big man.
A young butcher, with his stout arms exposed, was armed with a short, sharp pig-killing knife, as if he was afraid that others would not know what he was doing. Tu Shao is an old acquaintance of Han Xin, and the butcher's son has grown up, so he naturally becomes a butcher. When he was a child, he was a head taller than Han Xin, and now he is even more big and thick, and he is majestic. The rich stench of raw pork on his body, mixed with an unpleasant smell of alcohol, made Han Xin want to escape. Tu Shao's arms were outstretched, his eyebrows were slanted, and he looked like a provocative gesture.
Boy!Buy a piece of meat!”
No, you don't. No, you don't. You can't afford it, right?Haha!Take out the cuffs and show the uncle, how much money is there?”
Han Xin frowned, unwilling to entangle, and lowered his head to move around Tu Shao. But the smell of wine followed his pace, and stood in the way.
Don't go!If you don't have any money, keep your sword, and the uncle can exchange it for two catties of pork for you!”
Han Xin suppressed his anger, pulled out his sword with lightning speed, and swung it into the air, a flash of lightning flashed, making Tu Shao tremble, and he took a few steps back, and the pig-killing knife in his hand fell to the ground.
You don't deserve this sword, or the pig-killing knife is more suitable for you. ”
Han Xin has always had such a cold and arrogant tone. He turned around and walked back, and a group of street evildoers surrounded him, some fierce and evil, some with hippie smiling faces, and soon formed an encirclement. Han Xin was blocked before and after, and there was no way back. There are more and more onlookers at the entrance of the vegetable market.
Tu Shao said angrily: "Han Xin!."Although you are big, you carry a sword all day long, huh!If you want me to say, you're a useless bastard!”
That's it?Can I go?Han Xin felt a wave of disgust and was anxious to get out of this trouble.
What's the hurry!We're not done today. Just now, I had a drink with my brothers, and when I talked about you, the first weirdo in Huaiyin County, I said that you are a wreck, but there are brothers who don't believe it, saying that you are a martial artist and a character. Phew!Bullshit characters!Tu Shao took a sip, "If you really have a kind, you will stab me to death with a sword today."What if I didn't plant it, like a dog, and got under my crotch?”
Han Xin stared at the evil young man in front of him who was about the same age as himself, and saw him raise his right foot and put it on a board full of pork, forming a "dog hole" under his crotch.
The crowd kept gathering, and the scorching midday sun could not stop the curiosity of the spectators. The more onlookers there were, the more proud the drunken Tu Shao became, and the sole of his right foot gently slapped the board, unable to hide the pleasure of being noticed. For Han Xin, he hates such public eyes, and he seems to be an advocate on the stage, being ** and entertaining others.
Han Xin thought that he would be angry and furious, but at the moment he was extremely calm. His mind is racing, and there are three ways at the moment: the first way, to escape, away from the place of right and wrong, is the best policy, but a group of evil young people are tightly surrounded, and it seems that there is no way to avoid it, and there is no way to escape. The second way, a sword to cut this guy, is as easy as a hand, but it is happy. But so many people are watching, getting into a life lawsuit, Qin Law is strict, isn't this life over?I, Han Xin, have unpaid ambitions, just trying to be happy for a while, and put my life on the line for such a pig and dog slaughterer, isn't it confused?Then the third way ......Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated!Han Xin glanced at the "dog hole" in front of him, unconsciously clenched his back molars, and the hand holding the hilt of the sword was clenched tighter, and his whole body trembled slightly uncontrollably.
Han Xin was always expressionless, looking at Tu Shao for a long time, staring at the other party's heart. Tu Shao hurriedly shouted: "What!."If you don't dare to kill me, then drill!”
At this time, the hustle and bustle of the downtown seemed to be quiet a little, and his mother's last words sounded in Han Xin's ears: "If you can endure something, you can endure it, don't fight with others, and self-preservation is the key." ”
That night, Han Mu exhausted all her strength, and after saying these words, her life and the flames of the flames extinguished in the room ran out of oil and dried up, and returned to darkness and nothingness.
Han Xin carefully placed the bronze sword on the ground, and a fleeting, intriguing shallow smile appeared on his indifferent face, not like he was laughing at others, but like mocking himself, laughing at himself for why he had fallen to this point. He leaned down, lowered his head, and crawled forward, his burly body shrunk into a ball, like a four-legged livestock, clinging to the ground, and slowly drilling into Tu Shao's crotch. More than 900 years later, the great poet Li Bai imagined this scene and left the words "bent as if there is no bone" in the poem, describing Han Xin's body as if it had no bones. So, is his pride and backbone as "boneless" as his body?
It turned out that the world on the ground was like this, and Han Xin had never observed this world from such a low perspective. When I looked up, there was a row of people in front of me, and there were many people's legs, and these boring spectators could really be described as "one after another". Looking down, ants and dung beetles were crawling on the dirt and were close at hand, and the little insects and ants stopped one after another, as if they were wondering, what was this big man doing?
The closer you get to Tu Shao's "dog hole", the stronger the inexplicable stench. Han Xin drilled half of his body and was stuck under Tu Shao's crotch, when he suddenly heard a "poof", Tu Shao shook his ass and let out a loud fart. The smell of raw pork, the smell of the butcher's body, and the pungent smell of alcohol are all mixed together. Poor Han Xin frowned, his hands were propped up on the ground, he couldn't free his hands to cover his nose, he could only hold his breath and quickly drill under Tu Shao's crotch like a little monkey.
In that moment, the noisy market was silent. Except for Han Xin, who drilled his crotch, he was moving, and everything seemed to be still in the picture. The crowd opened their mouths wide and were stunned, and then burst into laughter.
Nothing to do, the crotch can be drilled, it's really an eye-opener today!”
Bai Chang is so big, it turns out to be a coward!”
What a coward, just call him 'crotch' in the future, hahaha!”
Han Xin got up, brushed the dust off his body, picked up the bronze sword on the ground, as if no one else existed, and slowly left the vegetable market.
For thousands of years, the story of the humiliation of the crotch has been widely circulated and full of controversy. Some people gave this story the moral of "those who become big things can endure what ordinary people can't bear", and some people disagree with Han Xin's dramatic move of taking the initiative to drill his crotch. Why does Han Xin have to bear such a shameful humiliation, is this crotch drill worth it?Is he the coward of the villagers in the mouth, or the "great achiever" who can endure humiliation and bear the burden praised by later generations?Through the fog of history, which is the real Han Shin?To answer this question, you might as well listen to a famous essay by Su Shi, a great writer in the Song Dynasty. Dongpo lay man wrote:
The so-called heroes of the ancients will have a festival of excellence. If there is a human affection that cannot be forgiven, the husband sees the humiliation, draws his sword and rises, and stands up to fight, which is not enough to be brave. There are great brave people in the world, who come suddenly without being surprised, and without being angry for no reason. Its holdings are great, and its ambitions are far-reaching. ("The Treatise on Staying in the Marquis").
In this passage, Su Dongpo raised a question: What exactly is "brave"?He distinguishes between "small bravery" and "great bravery", "false bravery" and "true bravery", "brave man" and "brave hero". The humiliation, impulsiveness, and animal instinct, drew the sword and stood up to fight, which is not true bravery, but stupid recklessness. So what is true bravery?Su Dongpo talked about three situations: not panicking when encountering an accident, not being angry when insulted, and being able to endure what ordinary people can't bear. There is no doubt that the cowardly and timid "crotch man" in the mouth of Huaiyin villagers is the real brave.
Forbearance does not mean weakness. On the contrary, forbearance is a quality that only the strong have.
can endure the humiliation that ordinary people can't bear, and only then does it deserve to enjoy the glory that ordinary people can't get.
How to face humiliation was an important life topic for Han Shin when he was a teenager. Han Shin's excellence lies in the patience, resilience, and intellectual determination that many people do not possess. For example, in the case of the humiliation of the crotch, under the circumstances at the time, it was undoubtedly a rational choice to end this dispute early and leave the place of right and wrong. It must be pointed out that patience itself is not worthy of praise, and patience is not an end in itself. Truly valuable forbearance is based on a strong inner backing. Another key that Su Dongpo emphasized is that the reason why a truly heroic person can endure humiliation is because "the person he holds is very big, and his ambition is far-reaching." In the face of the provocation of the evil youth, the only thing Han Xin was sure in his heart was that he could not expand the situation, he could not hurt himself, and he could not hurt the other party to cause a life lawsuit, in that case, all his future ambitions would be impossible to talk about. As a result, Han Xin, who was proud, self-respecting, and self-loving, endured unbearable humiliation and became a spectacle and a miracle. The reason for this dramatic and incomprehensible contradiction is precisely because for Han Xin, there is something more important than the face of the moment, waiting for him to pursue.
