Xu Boyi sits on the praying for rain stage glassy-eyed, dishevelled hair and dirty face, beard hit. 徐伯夷目光呆滞地坐在祈雨台上,蓬头垢面、胡子打了绺。 The street pedestrian had lost the initial curiosity to his existence, walks back and forth by the stage, are not many looks at his one eyes. 街头行人对他的存在已经失去了最初的新鲜感,在台前走来走去,也不多看他一眼。 Xu Boyi sits there, once for a while the earth movement begins, flexure flexure here, there flexure flexure, is matching his image, a little likely remote mountain savage. 徐伯夷坐在那儿,时不时地动一动手,挠挠这儿、挠挠那儿,配着他那副形象,有点像个深山野人。 He many days had not taken a bath, bathes every day two people regarding a custom, so many days do not take a bath, are unable to endure simply. He most took seriously the measuring appliance, the hair combs frequently perfectly in order, the beard also daily maintenance combs, elegant handsome, school of natural, but this image, really makes one would not venture to give positive comments on now. 他已经很多天没洗澡了,对于一个习惯每天沐浴两遍的人来说,这么多天不洗澡,简直无法忍受。他本来最重视仪表,头发经常梳理得一丝不乱,胡须也每天保养梳理,飘逸俊朗,一派潇洒,可现在这副形象,实在令人不敢恭维。 old Lu that in the county administration is responsible for sprinkling with water and sweep is raising one bucket of water, steps onto the stage sluggishly, pours into Xu Boyi front water jar the water, look of Xu Boyi delay moves to the water jar in slowly, stares looks that the clear well water pours into. 县衙里负责洒扫的老卢头提着一桶水,慢腾腾地走上高台,把水倒入徐伯夷面前的水瓮,徐伯夷呆滞的眼神儿慢慢挪到水瓮上,直勾勾地看着清亮的井水注入进去。 old Lu looked at Xu Boyi one, coughs a sound said: „Sir county deputy, the water delivered, if you drank up said one, on the small old stallion gave you again continued from above.” 老卢头看了徐伯夷一眼,咳嗽一声道:“县丞大人,水送到了,您要是喝完了就说一声,小老儿马上再给您续上。” Xu Boyi complied with one wooden. 徐伯夷木然地应了一声。 old Lu raised the spatial barrel to turn around to walk, halted suddenly, probably remembered what/anything to resemble, discussed the daily family activity with Xu Boyi: „Sir county deputy, small old heard in the county administration, Sir Historian leads the person mountain pilot, Water wheel to attempt successfully, on the two days, can successfully the water transportation to Gao-Li two villages.” 老卢头提起空桶转身要走,忽又站住,像是想起了什么似的,同徐伯夷唠起了家常:“县丞大人,小老儿在县衙里听说,典史大人率人高山引水,水车已经尝试成功,就这两天,就能成功地把水运到高李两寨了。” „?” “哦？” These words really brought to the attention of Xu Boyi, he raised the head, looks that old Lu said: „Can he really draw onto the cliff the water?” 这句话果然引起了徐伯夷的注意,他抬起头来,看着老卢头道:“他真能把水引上悬崖？” old Lu said: „Not! Must say that directs the high place the river water of low-lying place with Water wheel, this is not any unusual matter. Before can, how wants to be used this method on no one? Thinks carefully, probably by that dozens zhang (3.33 m) high sheer precipice and mountain continuously daunting. Hi, others Historian Ye has the courage, therefore the achievement others can for and not for important matter!” 老卢头道:“可不！要说呢,用水车把低洼处的河水引到高处,这也不算啥稀奇事儿。可以前咋就没人想得到用这个法子呢？仔细想想,大概就是被那数十丈高的悬崖峭壁和连绵不断的大山给吓住了。嗨,人家叶典史有胆魄,所以成就了别人能为而未为的大事啊！” The Xu Boyi corners of the mouth cast aside, in the heart is jealous and hates. 徐伯夷嘴角微撇,心中又嫉又恨。 old Lu uses the concerned tone: „Must say that Sir county deputy you are also not easy. Prays for rain for the common people, fasts so many. Although the God does not show mercy, is the drop rain not, but the Sir you completely arrived at the intention after all, these ignorant civilians did not know to feel grateful unexpectedly, but also ridiculed the Sir, even/including Xiaolao was somewhat unable to continue watching.” 老卢头又用关切的口吻道:“要说县丞大人你也是不容易啊。为百姓求雨,绝食这么多天。虽然老天爷不开恩,就是滴雨不下,可是大人你毕竟尽到心意了,那些无知的小民居然不知感恩,还嘲笑大人,连小老儿都有些看不下去了。” Xu Boyi is startled, busy say/way: „What did they say my?” 徐伯夷一怔,忙道:“他们说我什么？” old Lu said: „ Hi, but can also say what/anything. They said, the Sir you fasted such day, has not seen to faint. Definitely some people give the Sir you to deliver to eat secretly. The Sir does not pray for rain for the common people, but seeks fame, wants to obtain the favor of boss, seeking an official career to understand. 老卢头道:“嗨,还能说什么。他们说,大人你绝食这么天了,都没见昏倒过。肯定是有人偷偷给大人你送吃的。大人根本不是为百姓求雨,而是沽名钓誉,想获得上司的青睐,求个仕途通达。 They added, the Sir you prays for rain hypocritically, the God could not tolerate, therefore drop of rain not under. Last year of Hongwu time, there is a straw bag Great General to name be Li Jinglong, fasted ten days not dead. The Sir you over ten days, had also jumped for joy unexpectedly. Hehe, it seems like it is more person of straw bag jumps over anti- hungrily. ” 他们还说,大人你假惺惺地求雨,就连老天爷都看不过眼去了,所以一滴雨都不下。洪武末年的时候,有个草包大将军叫李景隆,绝食十日不死。大人你都已经超过十天了,居然还活蹦乱跳的。嘿嘿,看来是越草包的人越抗饿呀。” Xu Boyi one hear is only mad seethes with rage: „ My day only has food, the brace supports. Hungry time starves to death, now always the stomach hurts, I was easy I, I am quick the blending savage. These bastards still spoke my sarcastic remark in the back! 徐伯夷一听只气得七窍生烟:“我一天只吃一顿饭,撑的时候撑死。饿的时候饿死,现在老是胃疼,我容易么我,我都快混成野人了。这些混蛋还在背后说我的风凉话！ Do not say fasted, changes into you anyone, but sits here daily. Also must half-dead move is not good, I thought that you can bear? Aiya! I really am also stupid, must suffer that starves to death? My hungry corona not? If I fainted hungrily, they can visit me dead helplessly? Hey a thin rice gruel to me, feels better eats the steamed bun daily! ” 不要说绝食了,换成你谁,只是天天在这儿坐着。还得半死不活连活动一下都不行,我看你们能不能受得了？哎呀！我也真蠢,一定得捱到饿死么？我饿晕不可以吗？我若是饿晕了,他们能眼睁睁看着我死？给我喂点稀粥,也好过天天吃馒头啊！” old Lu raises slightly saying: „Sir, you are resting, small old asks to be excused.” 老卢头欠身道:“大人,您歇着,小老儿告退。” Xu Boyi nods to old Lu, after he took office initially, starts to know the real situation, actually who and Ye Xiaotian is on close terms with, sent the related people, leaked old Lu only. old Lu is only in the county administration an old servant who is responsible for sprinkling with water and sweep, he has not thought such a person also feels a heartfelt admiration to Ye Xiaotian unexpectedly, is willing to disclose secret information to him to old Lu, in the heart increases the favorable impression. 徐伯夷对老卢头点了点头,他当初上任之后就开始摸底,究竟谁和叶小天过从甚密,把相关的人都打发走了,独独漏了老卢头。老卢头只是县衙里一个负责洒扫的老仆,他根本就没想过这样一个人居然也对叶小天心悦诚服,是以对老卢头肯向他通风报信,心中大增好感。 old Lu takes the bucket to leave the stage, Xu Boyi then thinks: „I suffer hardships here, a rain more than drop. When Ye Xiaotian directed the water, how could it not be was I ridiculed by the world?” 老卢头提着水桶离开高台,徐伯夷便想:“我在这儿受苦,雨又不下一滴。等到叶小天引了水去,我岂不更加遭受世人嘲笑？” Xu Boyi here revolutions the thought that old Lu was entering the county administration sluggishly. Passed the less than half double-hour, Ye Xiaotian then appeared in the county yamen (government office) mouth. 徐伯夷这里转着念头,老卢头慢吞吞地进了县衙。过了小半个时辰,叶小天便出现在县衙门口。 Ye Xiaotian put on one with the ordinary people husband's same homespun cloth short appearance, is pulling the trouser legs coverings, an under foot straw sandal, on two legs is the mud, on the shoulder also carries a hoe, looked is participates to dig to dig the canal, returns to the city hurriedly, even the clothes cannot attend to trading. 叶小天穿了一身和普通民夫一样的粗布短打扮,挽着裤腿儿,脚下一双草鞋,两条腿上全是泥巴,肩上还扛着一只锄头,一看就是参与掘挖水渠,匆忙回城,连衣服都顾不上换。 As long as sees the Ye Xiaotian passer-by, admiringly salutes to Ye Xiaotian greeting, Ye Xiaotian also smiles 11 to return a courtesy. So treats worthies and scholars with courtesy, won in the county the love of common people. 但凡看到叶小天的路人,都钦佩地向叶小天施礼招呼,叶小天也微笑着一一答礼。如此礼贤下士,更是赢得了县上百姓们的爱戴。 Ye Xiaotian to the county yamen (government office) mouth, conducted the hoe the praying for rain stage, said to Xu Boyi in high spirits: „Sir county deputy, the lower official tries Water wheel today, already successfully in cliff water transportation, haha, tomorrow! Tomorrow I can adjust the water of river by the drought of aid Gao and Li.” 叶小天到了县衙门口,扛着锄头上了祈雨台,兴冲冲地对徐伯夷道:“县丞大人,下官今日试水车,已经成功地把水运上悬崖了,哈哈,明天！明天我就能调大河之水以济高李之旱了。” Xu Boyi cold snort/hum, vague said/tunnel: „Historian Ye makes the so big merit, is really may celebrate encouraging.” 徐伯夷冷哼一声,不阴不阳地道:“叶典史造下这般大功德,真是可喜可贺啊。” Ye Xiaotian is with a smile typical: „It is not at all, is not at all! Sir you to alleviate the drought, solves the danger of common people, is spares no efforts. The stage fasts, although has not striven for raining, the Hu county common people same will think of gratefully your kindness.” 叶小天笑吟吟地道:“不敢当,不敢当！大人你为了缓解旱情,解百姓之危,也是不辞辛劳啊。高台绝食,虽然没有求下雨来,葫县百姓们一样会感念你的恩德的。” In the Xu Boyi heart hates secretly, slowly stands up, long bows with hands clasped to Ye Xiaotian, said generously: „Xu prays for rain, under the foot the river improvement, the behavior is no doubt different, the goal is actually same, is hopes that can solve my Hu county common people in hanging upside down. Now under the foot successfully nears, in Xu also heart joyfully, Xu dai Hu county elder, under thanks foot/enough obligation.” 徐伯夷心中暗恨,慢慢站起身来,向叶小天长长一揖,慨然道:“徐某求雨,足下治河,所为固然不同,目的却是一样,都是希望能解我葫县百姓于倒悬。如今足下成功在即,徐某亦心中欣然,徐某代葫县父老,谢足下大恩。” Ye Xiaotian is too busy empty holds saying: „Sir county deputy spoke discreetly, you have not eaten food long time, was physically weak, does not want, hurried to sit......” 叶小天忙不迭虚扶道:“县丞大人言重了,你多日不曾进食,身体虚弱,就不要起来了,赶紧坐……” He has not said, Xu Boyi sudden body, both hands are also arching, then goes slowly backward but actually, close to ground time, knees one curved, was first well-grounded to slow down the strength of throwing down with a knee, then the eyes shut, both legs one: Unconscious...... 他还没有说完,徐伯夷突然身体一挺,双手还拱着,便慢慢向后倒去,临近地面的时候,双膝一弯,先用一膝着地减缓了摔倒的力道,然后双眼一闭,双腿一摊:人事不省了…… „Aiya! county deputy Xu! county deputy Xu! Comes the person quickly, county deputy Xu fainted, comes the person quickly!” “哎呀！徐县丞！徐县丞！快来人呐,徐县丞晕倒了,快来人呐！” Ye Xiaotian hurries to snatch to go forward, supports county deputy Xu to yell, Ye Xiaotian called, while criticized: „Your paternal grandmother, you were ‚fainted hungrily’, was not the arrow. Also back, your very what/anything, feigns death cannot.” 叶小天慌忙抢上前去,扶住徐县丞大叫,叶小天一边叫,一边暗骂:“你奶奶的,你是‘饿晕了’,又不是中了箭。还腰杆儿一挺,你挺什么挺,装死都不会。” Ye Xiaotian this shouted, then many pedestrians heard the sound surrounds, Ye Xiaotian sends every day to defend several guys before praying for rain stage to Gao-Li two villages one after another said: „Quickly! Holds slow Code of History to arrive in the county administration quickly, told that the kitchen cooks some hot gruel. county deputy Xu has not eaten food long time, cannot eat to do immediately, goes quickly.” 叶小天这一喊,便有许多行人闻声围拢过来,叶小天对高李两寨派来每日轮番守在祈雨台前的几个大汉道:“快！快扶徐典史到县衙里,吩咐厨下熬些热粥。徐县丞多日不曾进食,可不能马上吃干的,快去。” Feigning death Xu Boyi one hear of this saying, in the heart secretly rejoice, simultaneously somewhat deep regret: „Oh! How I have not thought of this idea early. Otherwise has been able to sip gruel, what must many by so many days crimes!” 正在装死的徐伯夷一听这话,不由心中暗喜,同时有些深深的懊悔:“唉！我怎么早没想到这个主意。否则早就可以喝粥了,何需多受这么多天的罪！” That several guys lift Xu Boyi, rushes to the county administration, the common people who at this time hears sound catches up with are getting more and more, in the common people of cross avenue shopping detected that here has the unusual form, catches up, encircles the praying for rain stage. 那几个大汉抬起徐伯夷,匆匆奔向县衙,此时闻声赶来的百姓越来越多,许多在十字大街购物的百姓发觉这边出现异状,也都纷纷赶来,把祈雨台团团围住。 A Ye Xiaotian short appearance, the cotton garment straw sandal, is leaning on the hoe. Stands in the stage, awe-inspiring said/tunnel: „ Countrymen, county deputy Xu to relieve the drought, fasts to pray for rain. Hoping to move heaven. Then now already fasting long time, my Hu county drops the rain as before not under. 叶小天一身短打扮,布衣草鞋,拄着锄头。站在高台上,正气凛然地道:“乡亲们,徐县丞为了解除旱情,绝食求雨。以期感动上天。然则如今已绝食多日,我葫县依旧滴雨未下。 Now, county deputy Xu has fainted hungrily, how Ye exercises forbearance Sir slow to continue to fast to pray for rain. Ye decided: Replaces county deputy Xu. Fasts in this stage, this heaven did not rain on the 1st, my Ye Xiaotian did not eat food on 1st. ” 如今,徐县丞已然饿晕过去,叶某怎忍让徐大人继续绝食祈雨。叶某决定:代替徐县丞。在这高台上绝食,这老天一日不下雨,我叶小天就一日不进食。” Surrounding common people, as soon as listens to be greatly moved. Said: „ Historian Ye, county deputy Xu cannot ask the rain, is his county deputy Xu heart is not very honest. Historian Ye you chop Jing Zhanji, to quarry a mountain to transport the water, the actions, we watch. We heard, this mountain rivers and creeks can clear immediately, why Sir leaf you takes the blame for others, fasts to pray for rain. „ 围观百姓一听大受感动。纷纷说道:“叶典史,徐县丞求不来雨,是他徐县丞心不够诚。叶典史你劈荆斩棘、开山运水,所作所为,我们都是看在眼里的。我们听说,这高山河渠马上就能开通了,叶大人你何必代人受过,绝食祈雨呢。“ Ye Xiaotian sincere say/way: „ Mountain canal, what solves is only the Gao-Li two villages drought, the common people in other this county places receives the drought, although is less than Gao-Li two villages to be serious, actually also affected the crop greatly, Ye watched, anxiously in heart! 叶小天正色道:“高山水渠,所解的只是高李两寨的旱情,本县其他地方的百姓所受旱灾虽不及高李两寨严重,却也大大影响了收成,叶某看在眼里,急在心头啊！ Countrymen, even if this rivers and creeks practice successfully, our Hu county cannot lack the rainwater as before. The day is not weak, how prays for rain can give up halfway! The mountain canal will soon finish, Ye is not , the influence is not big. Ye replaces county deputy Xu to fast to pray for rain in this, the heaven has eyes, certainly will think of gratefully Ye's sincerity! ” 乡亲们,即便这河渠修成,我们葫县依旧缺不得雨水。天不可欺啊,祈雨怎么能半途而废！高山水渠即将完工,叶某在不在,影响都不大了。叶某就代替徐县丞在此绝食祈雨吧,苍天有眼,一定会感念到叶某的诚意！” Ye Xiaotian said, holds the hoe to sit slowly but actually. 叶小天说完,扶着锄头缓缓坐倒。 Under stage common people affected is moved to tears, some old people under the support of descendant, kneel down tremblingly, weeping with loud noise said/tunnel: „Good official!

Azure Lord Tian, the luck of my Hu county common people!” 台下百姓感动的热泪盈眶,有些老人在儿孙的扶持下,颤巍巍地跪倒在地,声泪俱下地道:“好官呐！叶典史真是爱民如子的好官呐！青天大老爷,我葫县百姓之福啊！” These old people kneel, others kneel down in abundance, pays homage to the stage. 这些老人一跪,其他人纷纷跪倒,向台上膜拜不已。 On the Ye Xiaotian sitting cross-legged stage, stretches out the arms, loudly shouts toward the sky that trace of cloud does not see: „God, you saw! Asked you to bestow our Hu county common people heavy rain, my Ye Xiaotian is willing to hand over this life, only asked the heaven to enlarge ones vision, bestows my Hu county torrential rain!” 叶小天盘膝台上,张开双臂,向着一丝云彩也不见的天空大呼道:“老天爷,你看到了么！求你赐我们葫县百姓一场大雨吧,我叶小天愿意交出这条命,只求苍天开眼,赐我葫县一场豪雨！” Under stage common people, as soon as listens, moves weeping sound one piece. 台下百姓一听,感动得哭声一片。 On the stage, Ye Xiaotian asked quietly stands Mao Wenzhi on stair: „Will Old Mao, bright naive rain?

Hua Qingfeng concerned said/tunnel that hears the news to catch up with: „county deputy Xu, are you good?” 徐伯夷被抬回县衙,厨下赶紧弄了碗稀粥给他灌下去。徐伯夷佯装不醒,“迷迷糊糊”地喝了大半碗粥,这才“气息奄奄”地张开眼睛。闻讯赶来的花晴风关切地道:“徐县丞,你还好吧？” The Xu Boyi eye partly opens the semi-closure, the air/Qi, if gossamer said/tunnel: „Next...... lower official...... fortunately.
