In the sixth year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty, this was the reign name of the founding emperor Li Yuan.

Suddenly bad news came to the world!

"Li Xiuning is dead!"

Who is Li Xiuning?

She is the daughter of Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

She is the sister of Li Shimin, the general of Tiance Mansion.

She once single-handedly defeated six major rebel kings.

She single-handedly created the Yanzhao Detachment of Women, which was the most powerful and fiercest fighting force in the late Sui Dynasty.

This womanly princess made great achievements in the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

Looking at the entire world, she conquered almost half of the country. If we look at the entire Guanzhong, the power of the women's army under her command even surpasses the Tiance Mansion.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the power controlled by this princess accounted for almost half of the Tang Dynasty.

However, now, this princess who was supposed to be famous throughout the ages has passed away.

[Princess Pingyang passed away, and her funeral was carried out in a military system. Eighteen generals carried the coffin and twenty-four were imprisoned. It was a true mourning of life and death. She became the first princess in history to have a posthumous gift. 】

His posthumous title is Zhao.

Her funeral was as grand as an emperor's!

But few people know how Princess Pingyang died. Regardless of history books or folk histories, most of them are just vague guesses.

Few people even know that the coffin carried by eighteen generals on the day of the funeral was actually empty...

The so-called death of Princess Pingyang in the history books, in fact, no one has seen her body at all!

Even the relatives of the Li family only saw the last suicide note she left.

And because no one could be found, we guessed that she was dead.

…

…

Everyone in the village knows that Gu Tianya can make many strange and weird utensils.

Who taught him?

She’s Gu Tianya’s wife!

So the accurate statement should be that Gu Tianya and his wife can make many strange and weird utensils.

Such as carrying a cage!

What is a cage?

The basket is a special fishing tool.

It is simple to make but very powerful. Even a child of seven or eight years old can use this gadget to catch fish in the river.

However, looking at the four villages and eight townships within a hundred miles, I have never heard of anyone who can make such a tool. This apparently simple fish-catching tool can only be made by Gu Tianya and his mother...

In fact, to be honest, there are not many advanced skills, it is mainly a small creativity that others would not think of!

But before anyone has seen this little idea, it is really difficult, very difficult, very difficult to make it.

Before many things in the world were invented, it would be very difficult for people to make them. The reason is very simple: they can't think of creativity.

…

It's freezing cold and the north wind is howling!

Gu Tianya was wrapped in a thick coat and quickly pulled out a cage from the river, but he heard the sound of water rushing and there seemed to be a popping sound.

The old lady stood behind him and looked around on tiptoe. Her voice was obviously nervous and she asked anxiously: "Gu'er, have you caught any fish?"

"I caught it, there are quite a few!"

Gu Tianya laughed, picked up the basket and showed it to his mother, and said comfortingly: "Look, mother, the harvest is great. The basket is almost half full, weighing twenty or thirty kilograms. Not only are there fish, but there are also greens.

shrimp……"

He paused for a moment, then held up the basket and continued: "Look at these fresh shrimps. They are extremely fat. Their big pincers are showing their teeth and claws. They are just like the generals in your story. They are simply arrogant, arrogant.

Very..."

"Very good, very good!" I was full of joy and kept saying: "If we can catch this cage of fish and shrimps, our rations for three or four days will be enough. Let's go, let's go, mother will go home right away."

Cook for you."

"Okay, mother, but please wait first!"

"Wait? What else are you doing?"

My mother was obviously hesitant.

Gu Tianya shook the basket in his hand and said with a smile: "Look inside this basket, the bait has not been eaten up. Why don't you throw it back into the river? You should be able to catch another fish."

As he spoke, he lifted the cage again and said again: "It is rare for our village to kill a pig. It took half a day of helping the boy to get half of the pig's intestines. Therefore, this fish food bait is hard-earned and we must not let it go to waste."

Having said this, he looked at his mother and said respectfully: "You have always taught the children how to run a household and make the best use of everything. Let the children put this basket back into the river. Maybe in the evening we can catch twenty or thirty more

A pound of fish…”

"Can we catch it again?" My mother was obviously delighted, her voice was full of excitement, and she kept saying: "That's great, that's great, I can wash the excess fish and shrimps and dry them in the yard.

This will give us three or four days more food, so we two don’t have to worry about going hungry for seven or eight days."

Gu Tianya laughed and followed my mother's advice: "What mother said makes sense. I will do what you want. I'll catch fish again and I'm sure I'll get something."

In fact, he came up with the idea, but how can a son take credit? Instead, it is better to follow my mother's words and make her happy more.

The so-called filial piety, one is filial piety, the other is obedience, it is so simple, that’s all.

…

But it was said that Gu Tianya followed his mother's tone while pouring the fish and shrimp in the basket into the wooden bucket, and then walked back to the edge of the water to prepare to put the basket back.

The old lady was standing behind struggling to carry a wooden bucket full of fish and shrimp, her eyes fixed on Gu Tianya, with an expectant look on her face, but there was tension between her brows.

Suddenly he spoke in a low voice and warned carefully: "Gu'er, please be careful. Don't slip under your feet and don't fall into the water. It's the coldest month of winter right now. Don't fall into the water and freeze you."

Gu Tianya laughed again, turned around to comfort him, and said respectfully: "I know, don't worry, I'm careful with my son, I promise I won't slip."

As he spoke, he put the cage into the water.

After thinking for a while, he picked up the wooden stick he had brought earlier from the river, lifted up the cage and sent it hard to the deep water, then exhaled a breath of hot breath, turned around and walked slowly back to the shore.

From the beginning to the end, I kept staring at his feet. It wasn't until Gu Tianya turned around that relief appeared on his face.

Next, the mother and son sat on the ground, both looking at the river with longing faces, thinking that they would catch twenty or thirty kilograms of fish again in the evening.

When I think of happy places, I can’t help but laugh with joy.

However, the weather was very cold after all. It was not good to wait by the river like this all the time. No matter how strong a man was, he would shiver from the cold. He had to go home quickly and light a fire to warm himself up.

Gu Tianya suddenly stood up, then squatted firmly on the ground with his legs, raised his head and said with a smile: "Mom, let's go home first, the road is a bit long, my son is carrying you on his back!"

Unexpectedly, my mother's face tightened, as if she was very angry by Gu Tianya, and she pretended to be angry and said: "Mom is not old, so what does this little journey mean? You stand up quickly, and let me carry the barrel."

Gu Tianya made two hey sounds, but he clearly turned a deaf ear. He just squatted on the ground, raised his head and waited quietly for my mother's reply.

After a long time passed, my mother finally couldn't control her son's temper. She glared at Gu Tianya helplessly, leaned down and let her son carry him on his back.

Only then did Gu Tianya burst into laughter, as proud as a general who had just won a battle.

He held a twenty or thirty kilogram wooden barrel in one hand, and firmly supported his mother's legs with the other hand. Then he took a deep breath, exhaled it, stood up, and walked back.

Poor people have less fat and water in their stomachs, so their physical strength is not good, so even if he is just carrying an old woman who is not too heavy, Gu Tianya still feels a little strenuous.

However, the north wind whistled like a wolf howling, but the hearty laughter of a young man could be heard by the river...

It clearly sounded like a naughty child playing tricks on his mother.

…

But the mother and son were walking along the river, and their figures were about to become blurry. Along the way, I looked back frequently, always looking at the river and the water surface where the cage was placed.

Suddenly, I screamed and said: "Gu'er, Gu'er, look, why is the basket tilted... Why is our basket tilted...?"

Um?

Gu Tianya stopped and quickly turned around.

He stood on the river bank and looked far into the distance, and sure enough he saw that the fish-catching cage had really fallen over.

"What's going on?"

"I obviously placed it very stable?"

He had some doubts in his heart and subconsciously wanted to walk to the river.

At this time, I suddenly heard my mother scream again, saying: "There is someone, Gu'er, look quickly, there is a person in the river..."

Gu Tianya was startled, and his eyes quickly scanned the water, but he saw where the water was rolling, and there was a faint red color drifting with the current.
