There are many excellent women in Jin Yong's pen, but if you say that the most heart-wrenching, it is Cheng Lingsu in "Flying Fox Gaiden". Cheng Lingsu not only has peerless medical skills, she is a disciple of the Poison Hand Medicine King.
And Cheng Lingsu is also very smart, the smartest person among the women in Jin Yong's pen is Cheng Lingsu, although Huang Rong and Zhao Min are also resourceful, but Cheng Lingsu has a pair of eyes that can see through people's hearts.
And Cheng Lingsu is also a last resort, but such an excellent Cheng Lingsu can be said to be better than anyone in the rivers and lakes, but she is a mess on the road of affection, just because she fell in love with someone she shouldn't love.
There are thousands of good medicines in the world, but none of them blindly cure infatuation, although she is the most powerful doctor in the rivers and lakes, but she is also a terminally ill patient, she is the incurable love poison.
When I was a child, I didn't understand that Cheng Lingsu was so good, both empathetic and smart, and he was infatuated with Hu Fei, but Hu Fei just didn't like Cheng Lingsu, but pursued the very annoying Yuan Ziyi.
However, when I grew up, I finally understood why Hu Fei didn't like Cheng Lingsu anymore, there are two main reasons, the first is the appearance problem, the reason why many people are unhappy with Cheng Lingsu is due to the influence of film and television.
Cheng Lingsu in every version of the film and television is basically a big beauty, so beautiful, with good medical skills, and smart, and so infatuated with Hu Fei. Therefore, many people don't understand, why Hu Fei doesn't like Cheng Lingsu?
In fact, in the original book, Cheng Lingsu's appearance is too unsatisfactory, not only is he thin, but his hair is also scarce, and his skin is yellow, except for his bright eyes, he is not even an ordinary woman.
When film and television adapted "Flying Fox Gaiden", although they did not change the direction of the story or the relationship between the characters, they changed the setting, making Cheng Lingsu a beautiful woman who is more beautiful than Yuan Ziyi.
This leads to an unreasonable story, Cheng Lingsu is so perfect, why doesn't Hu Fei like her? According to the original book, Hu Fei was originally a person who attached great importance to appearance, and when he was a teenager, he met the beautiful Ma Chunhua.
Hu Fei was even willing to turn into a puppy, as long as he stayed by Ma Chunhua's side, and even Hu Fei had thought that he would secretly kiss her while Ma Chunhua was not paying attention, and then run away, and with his strength, he could escape.
Look at Hu Fei's attitude towards Ma Chunhua, and then compare it with Cheng Lingsu, Cheng Lingsu's appearance, Hu Fei really can't accept it. Therefore, even if Cheng Lingsu is infatuated, Hu Fei just doesn't like her.
In addition to her appearance, there is another point that Hu Fei doesn't like her, that is, Cheng Lingsu is too smart. Some people may ask, is Cheng Lingsu smart or not? For herself, it's certainly good.
Smart is originally a compliment, but for Hu Fei, he doesn't like women who are too smart, Cheng Lingsu is too good and too smart. So smart that as long as you look into Hu Fei's eyes, you know what he thinks.
Hu Fei felt as if he didn't have any secrets in front of Cheng Lingsu, because Cheng Lingsu could easily see through him and guess his thoughts. This made Hu Fei reluctant to get along with Cheng Lingsu in his heart, and even faintly feared her.
To a certain extent, Hu Fei is more manly, he wants to show himself more, rely on his own ability, and even he protects others, after all, he is Hu Fei's hero, but he can't show sainthood in front of Cheng Lingsu.
This made Hu Fei get along with her, and subconsciously felt very uncomfortable. Therefore, Cheng Lingsu is not bad, but she is too good, and even a little too good, which makes Hu Fei feel repulsed.
If Cheng Lingsu is a peerless beauty and is so smart, it will definitely be a plus, but Cheng Lingsu's appearance is extremely unbearable. For peerless beauties, even shortcomings can turn into advantages.
However, for Cheng Lingsu, even the advantages (smart) have become disadvantages. Jin Yong gave her the limit of what she could do the day after tomorrow, with unpredictable medical skills, eyes that can see through people's hearts, and a mind that has no last resort.
But the only thing that didn't give her the most important thing for a woman was a beautiful face. Some readers may feel that Hu Fei cares too much about his appearance, and this can't be blamed on Hu Fei, if you don't like it, you don't like it.
If Hu Fei doesn't like it, in order to use her, he forcibly says he likes it, is this not a villain's act? Hu Fei's attitude is very clear, he has done nothing wrong, and Cheng Lingsu's attitude is also clear, both of them are not wrong, they can only say that they are not suitable for each other.
