Chapter 359 Auditory Hallucinations
In the fourth month of the lunar calendar, the snow melts and the ice disappears, and the Yangtze River begins to enter the flood season. The river comes down from the upper reaches in a mighty manner, and gradually becomes more powerful when it reaches the Jiangning area. Along the waterway, this At that time, only large ships with deeper drafts dared to sail. Even so, the official ship on which Ning Yi and others boarded was also a bit bumpy and swaying. After setting sail, if there were any seasick people, they would gradually show symptoms.
“After arriving at the Grand Canal, the boat became stable. There was nothing we could do in the first two days...”
At this time, most of the people accompanying these boats were dignitaries. Among the distinguished people, if the boat was not moving smoothly, some would lose their temper, and some would even want to get off the boat immediately and take a carriage to the north, so the boatman and others had to explain carefully. Ning Yi and others had only set sail for half a day when they saw several such things. In these years, there are not many opportunities for people with status to travel. There is no specific medicine for motion sickness and seasickness. If it is a sea ship, such symptoms will be even worse. It's troublesome, I can only endure it, there is nothing I can do.
Ning Yi was okay with this kind of thing, but Su Wenyu, who was accompanying him, was severely seasick, so he had to let him vomit and vomit in the cabin at the back, saying: "You are used to vomiting. , life is like this.”
After all, when he went to Beijing this time, he only wanted to join the intelligence system. Kang Xian and others just arranged their group in a cabin at the back. They would not have much interaction with the officials and dignitaries in the front, and they would be treated like first-class people. The same is true. Ning Yi didn't care about the age gap, and then talked to everyone about the origin of balance ability. He said that there is a place on both sides of the human brain near the ears called the semicircular canals. If it were dissected, what kind of place would it be? This is where the human body is controlled. If you are suffering from motion sickness and seasickness, it is probably due to the lack of development here.
Xiaochan occasionally brought tea over, and she knew that her uncle was talking about things that others couldn't understand again. In fact, even if others don't understand, Ning Yi doesn't explain much. Wenren Fujie, Qi Xinyong, Qi Xinyi and others originally thought that he had read some miscellaneous books or made nonsense, but later they saw that he spoke clearly and logically, so they believed that there might be such a thing. In fact, they don't necessarily believe that the balance of the human brain comes from the semicircular canals, but they gradually feel that Ning Yi may really know what is in the human brain. When they heard him say how big the human brain is after it is expanded, they couldn't help but feel horrified.
At this time, even the most curious doctors would not understand this aspect of the matter. It is possible that the autopsy would be a failure, but they would never open up the human brain and look at it. See how big it is. When Ning Yi said this, everyone couldn't help but think, could it be that he had taken measurements when he had nothing to do?
In fact, Ning Yi seems to be a scholar and elegant, but his behavior is always unexpected. Wenren Buer has seen that he is slightly neurotic under his calmness. Although Qi Xinyong and others had not dealt with him much, they had also seen him standing next to Liu Xigua. Later I heard that it was he who designed the gates of Hangzhou to be opened. How could such a person be so simple? Although it was a bit strange to think of him studying this at first, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was really possible. I couldn't help but feel horrified, and subconsciously sat farther away from Ning Yi. However, Qi Xinhan, the youngest of the Qi family, occasionally Will answer with interest: "Perhaps practicing plum blossom pile and other kung fu will be beneficial to this semicircular canal? ”
Ning Yi held tea and chatted with everyone for a while, and then talked about some anecdotes about the world, and chatted about Liangshan for a while. At a certain moment, Ning Yi went out to bring hot water, but at the door he was sideways. After listening for a while, he asked: "Did you hear the sound of dong dong dong dong?"
Everyone heard this voice and nodded. In fact, the water surface is slightly bumpy, and the sound is caused by the collision of boxes in some nearby rooms. Ning Yi thought for a while and then said: "It doesn't seem to be the case, but it seems like someone is knocking on the wall..." Everyone just heard him talk about dissecting the human brain. At this time, their faces changed slightly, and they all thought he was having a mental illness, but fortunately Ning Yi After listening for a while, he shook his head and said: "Maybe I heard it wrong..."
The boat kept bumping along the way this day. Wenren Fuji and others went to the front to inquire about the boat. The identity of the guest. The princess's fleet went north for different purposes. In fact, Princess Chengguo had many properties under her name. Every once in a while, it was necessary for such a fleet to travel north and south. Naturally, this time it was also a reason to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday. Young dignitaries and nobles went with him. In fact, It is also related to the momentum of the Northern Expedition. Although it is said that recovering Youyan is a major event in the two hundred years of the Wu Dynasty, it is a real problem that materials and military expenses are spread on everyone. In fact, some people are willing to spend more, and some are willing to spend more. People who want to go out less often have their own reasons. After the situation in the south was settled, the group of people in Jiangning who had connections with the royal family took the opportunity to celebrate their birthdays and prepared to go north for some activities.
Among the people on the boat at this time, there were officials, second-generation rich people and even family members. After asking around for a while, I realized that their status was too high to reach, so it was best to stay away from them. Just after lunch, someone came to visit Ning Yi. He was a young man of about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a handsome appearance, named Zhuo Yunfeng. Naturally, Ning Yi had never seen him before, but after thinking about it, I seem to have heard someone say that Jiangning’s literary world is quite popular. A famous young talent, because he has just come out, when others talk about it in front of Ning Yi, they usually comment that the student who has a nephew is quite talented and will become a great person in the future. During the time when Ning Yi went to Hangzhou , he gained some fame.
Zhuo Yunfeng is also a member of the royal family. His mother is a married county head. Although her husband’s family has not achieved much in the future, the royal bloodline is indelible after all. This time, he probably wants to go to the Beijing Expo to gain fame and fame. connections. When he saw Ning Yi, he was respectful in his words, and then asked Ning Yi for some insights on poetry. Ning Yi didn't tell many people about his trip to Beijing on the ship. He thought that this young man had some relationship with Kang Xian. So he came to find her, and later in her speech, she discovered that this young man was also an admirer of Zhou Pei. He occasionally mentioned the little princess in his speech, which was quite appreciative. Except for the arrogance unique to this young man in his words and expressions, there is nothing that can be called a shortcoming. However, it is natural for a young man to be talented and proud, and it is actually nothing.
After chatting like this, the young man sat next to Ning Yi for a while, drank a few cups of tea, and then left again. Ning Yi felt a little confused in his heart, and he couldn't tell where the weirdness was. In fact, Zhou Pei may have decided on the person to marry in the past few months. Zhuo Yunfeng has no chance to go to Beijing now, but looking at his expression, he seems to have something in mind. I don't know why.
This thought passed through Ning Yi's mind, and then he stopped thinking about it. In fact, what he has been thinking about these days is, after all, issues related to Liangshan. He is not familiar with Liangshan's affairs, so he only needs to think a lot. At the level of Wu Dynasty, conspiracy is not necessarily easy to use, and conspiracy requires a lot of accurate information to support, but there are indeed one or two things that can be given to Qin Siyuan at this time, that is, in the past few days, he A perfect center point is needed.
That night the big ship was moored in the port. The wind picked up at night and the ship was swaying a little. Many of the crew members had already disembarked from the ship to have fun and stay in the inn, but for the few people from the Su family who came with them, Ning Yi still asked them to live on the ship. But after the ship stopped, Ning Yi went to another big ship to visit Yunzhu and Jin'er. Yunzhu didn't get seasick, but with the water like white stripes in the waves of Jin'er, there was no need to worry about this matter at all.
On this night, after Xiaochan also fell asleep, Ning Yi looked at the moon outside the cabin but found it difficult to fall asleep. Tan'er and the children at home, the people he wanted to see when he went to the capital this time, the possible impact of what he said and did...
He sorted out his emotions, got up from the bed, and went to the cabin and deck. Pacing. At this time, the clouds are flying and the moon is moving, the trees on the river bank are casting longing shadows, and the lights of the mountain city in the distance are twinkling, reflected in the water, but it is also a nice scene. Several large ships were patrolled by soldiers and were heavily guarded. However, the nobles and servants who accompanied the ships during the day were gone, so it was quiet. Just when I thought about it, I seemed to hear a thumping sound in my ears again, But when I listened carefully, it was no longer there.
He was about to return to the cabin when he saw Zhuo Yunfeng and several servants getting off a large ship in the moonlight over there. He said a few words, frowned, and then glanced at Several other ships. It looked like he was looking for something, and he was trying to figure out where it was.
Zhuo Yunfeng glanced at it for a few times, and inadvertently looked towards Ning Yi, and then froze. This kind of encounter at night should have been just a matter of saying hello, but Zhuo Yunfeng's expression was a little strange. He first stood there and looked at Ning Yi for a while, and then he cupped his hands from a distance and forcefully. It seemed that Ning Yi had seen something terrible and his conspiracy was revealed, so he met Ning Yi in a bachelor manner.
This matter made Ning Yi a little confused. At this time, he was deliberately tricked several times by people, such as Gu Yanzhen, Lou Shuheng, and Xi Junyu. He was already quite wary of this kind of neurosis that seemed to have persecution delusions. He recorded the things in his mind that night, When I got up early the next morning, while practicing, I was still thinking about whether I had any intersection with Zhuo Yunfeng. At that time, the morning mist lingered on the river, and he suddenly thought of something and turned around to go to the cabin.
His identity may not be clear to the big shots living in front of him, but the ship steward sent by Princess Chengguo Mansion knows that this person is. Ning Yi wandered around the cabin for a while, then made up his mind and got the key from the steward, stepped back and opened the door of one of the cabins, and asked the steward to guard nearby. I saw the tributes that would be transported to the capital in that cabin. They were packed in big boxes, one by two with seals. Ning Yi climbed up to the top of the boxes and observed them everywhere for a long time. Then he stamped his feet and knocked. After a while, , a faint sound came from somewhere inside.
Ning Yi moved the box below, and after a while, he found the dying Zhou Pei curled up in the big wooden box below...
