Zhenshu was suspicious, and looked around in the distance, but a pleasure boat came from the middle of the river and was moored on the edge of the pier. Yu Yichen jumped into the boat a few steps before beckoning her to come on. Zhenshu lifted his skirt, revealed the pair of embroidered shoes he gave him last time, and jumped onto the deck in a few steps. The boat went along the canal and did not go fast.

Since then, more than two miles up the waterway, dense boats crowded at the shore entrance, and a boatman with a thick beard squeezed to the front, and asked the officers and soldiers who were armed with martial law: "Official, today my boat is full of white strips caught in the middle of the night, and if I don't enter Beijing, I am afraid that I will die in less than half an hour." Do you know what's going on? ”

The officers and soldiers waved their weapons and said impatiently: "It's the canal of Da Neifeng, how do we know, don't talk nonsense anymore, go back." ”

The boatman endured his anger and lowered his voice and begged: "Official, the day after tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, the little people have a little hope, it's all on this boat, and please ask the official family to make it convenient, and ask for us to ask!" ”

The officer and soldier crossed his spear and said, "Get out!" Get back in. ”

He raised his spear and pointed at a few crying women on the bow of a horizontal boat not far away, and said: "That's the one who ate the bear's heart and the leopard's guts to rush to the pass, and has already been called to Yingtianfu, you also want to eat official dinner?" ”

The boatman took off his hat and stroked his messy hair, and with a long sigh he went back to the back.

The four fields are lonely, and the distant mountains and grass are all silent and soft. Zhenshu took out the book from his bosom and listened to Yu Yichen say: "In today's good weather, I don't want to listen to a monk walking in the wind, snow and cold weather. Is there anything else to read? ”

Zhenshu shook her head: "The little girl has only read this book recently. ”

Yu Yichen got up, took out a piano from the cabin and put it on the deck, slowly tuned the strings and asked, "Do you want to listen to the piano from the little shopkeeper?" ”

Zhenshu shook her head: "The little girl is vulgar and can't understand Yayin." ”

Yu Yichen stretched out his hand and pressed the sound of the piano, and with a soft call, Sun Yuan took out a short-legged small table from the cabin and put it between the two of them, with tea and warm rice wine on the table. Yu Yichen poured himself a glass of wine, poured a cup of tea for Zhenshu and handed it to her, before saying, "Then let's just watch this scenery, okay?" ”

Zhenshu held the teacup, smoothed the hair that was soothed by the wind, and saw the greenery on both sides slowly passing by, the loneliness between heaven and earth, and the loneliness on Yu Yichen's face became more and more rare. She has been accustomed to the loneliness between heaven and earth since she was a child, and in the past half a year in Beijing, she has been forced to worry about her livelihood every day, and she has never relaxed for a moment, so she half-squinted her eyes and felt the silent and slow turbid water flowing eastward in the canal with a little gossamer consciousness.

I don't know how long it took, Zhenshu woke up suddenly, wiped the saliva that was pulled into the long silk at the corner of his mouth, looked at Yu Yichen sideways, and saw him holding a wine glass, looking at her with a smile. He handed him a white handkerchief, which she wiped the corners of her lips and gave it back to him. Yu Yichen asked: "The little shopkeeper always likes to sit and sleep?" ”

Zhenshu shook his head: "No, it's just that it's too hard to make zongzi and grass in the past few days." ”

Yu Yichen smiled even deeper: "There is always an excuse." ”

Zhenshu raised his eyebrows and said, "You haven't done this, how do you know it's not hard?" ”

The corners of his lips were raised higher, and the wind-blown hair was far behind his head. Perhaps because he drank some warm rice wine, there was a faint redness on his cheeks, and there was a little coquettish on the corner of his towering eyebrows. It's just that in such a high-spirited look, there is still a lingering sense between his eyebrows.

He looked into the distance, and suddenly asked, "So in that food box are the zongzi you want to give me?" ”

Zhenshu pouted and looked into the distance, and said in a sneering voice: "I'm afraid the zongzi in the palace are better than what I make." ”

Yu Yichen said: "No." My favorite food is the white rice dumplings made by my mother, with a red date on the top, sweet and sticky, but it is always hot and people can't wait. ”

Moreover, he can only eat it during the Dragon Boat Festival, and he only eats it a few times in total.

Seeing that it was already noon, Zhenshu said in a suffrage voice: "It's a pity that I didn't bring it, otherwise I could at least have lunch." ”

Before her words fell, Sun Yuan came out with a drag plate, two green glazed carved bowls on the plate, one bowl contained two white glutinous and chubby zongzi, a red date was lit on the tip of the zongzi, and the blue bowl was lined with jade-like white zongzi, and the red dates on it were very beautiful.

Yu Yichen picked up the ivory and said: "I got up last night, remembering my mother's way of wrapping some by myself, whether it is delicious or not, it is my heart." ”

Zhenshu took a bite of it, it was really warm, sweet and glutinous, very delicious. It's just that she didn't believe that he would make this thing in the middle of the night, so she shook her head and secretly ate it all.

Yu Yichen only moved a few bites, and when she saw that she had finished eating, she pulled one of her bowls over and said, "I'm enough, you can eat this one." ”

Zhenshu was not polite, took a few bites and swallowed his stomach and asked, "Could it be that this is lunch?" ”

Yu Yichen nodded, and asked with some surprise: "Could it be that the little shopkeeper hasn't eaten yet?" ”

Such a fat zongzi, one can be full, let alone three? Zhenshu argued: "It's just too monotonous. ”

Yu Yichen finished eating the zongzi in the bowl, put the bowl aside and said: "The first time I invited the little shopkeeper to eat, it really seems that Yu is a little stingy." Next time I find a good place, Yu also finds some good things for the little shopkeeper to eat, how about it? ”

Does he mean to go out this time?

Zhenshu didn't dare to promise lightly, and pretended not to hear it and smiled.

The boat was still going down, and Sadashu gradually became a little impatient. Although she also rowed on the Wei River, she had never stayed on the boat for such a long time. Moreover, she reported to her father Song Anrong and said that she would return when she fed at most. If it was past noon today, the boat would have gone down the river and would not know where it would go. It is slower to go upstream, if you can't go home after dark, I'm afraid that Song Anrong will be anxious again.

Yu Yichen fiddled with the piano again at this time, and the strings moved leisurely. It's just that Zhenshu is not used to hearing these things, and when he sees that the ship still does not return, his heart becomes more and more anxious. I couldn't help but ask, "Father-in-law Yu, when will we return?" ”

Yu Yichen stretched out his hand and stopped the piano and said: "I remember that the little shopkeeper once said when he looked at the lights on the Yuan Festival that he liked to lie on the bank of the Wei River and watch the sand gulls." Although there are no sand gulls on the canal bank, there is the sound of sparkling water. ”

Zhenshu heard him talk about the Shangyuan Festival, remembered the full moon night he said that day, and realized that he was going to take him on the canal until it was dark, so he pointed to the sky and said: "It's only the third day of the first month, where is the full moon?" ”

Yu Yichen looked at the sky and saw that Zhenshu was sitting very uncomfortable.

As soon as she got on the boat, she drank a stomach of tea, and only a few zongzi went down to her stomach, and she was afraid that she couldn't hold it back at this time.

Yu Yichen called Sun Yuan out and whispered a few words, Sun Yuan nodded and entered the cabin, and after a while, he came out to Zhenshu and said, "Miss Song, please come to the cabin for convenience." ”

When the book was finished, he poured out the basin, washed the basin and washed his hands, and then went back to the deck. When Sun Yuan saw her come out, he went into the cabin again.

Zhenshu asked angrily, "How far have we traveled now?" ”

Yu Yichen said: "Thousands of miles of Jiangling will be returned in one day, let's go down the water, at least five hundred miles." ”

Zhenshu was so angry that he didn't even want to say anything at this time, and sat on the bow of the boat looking into the distance. Yu Yichen is still plucking the strings, occasionally sounding, ancient and long.

"If you want to take me out for a long time, you should have let me know earlier." Zhenshu suddenly said: "I lost it in Huixian, my father was stimulated at that time, and now his hands will tremble when he is anxious, if I return tonight, I don't know what he will be in a hurry." ”

Only then did Yu Yichen stop the sound of the piano again, and called Sun Yuan to come out and whisper a few words. Sun Yuan walked to the stern, looked up to the sky and let out a long roar, and at some point some small boats came out on both sides of the canal, gradually slid closer to the pleasure boat, and locked the pleasure boat with an iron hook. The boatman stopped shaking the pulp,

After a while, the slender man who appeared on both sides of the strait at some point took the rope on his back and ran all the way, and the boat quickly retreated. Yu Yichen said again: "Now maybe listen to me play a song?" ”

The surrounding scenery flew backwards, and Zhenshu nodded slightly. I saw Yu Yichen stretching out his hand to pluck the strings, but it was just a flat tone, and it came out slowly. Gradually, with the sunset, the sound of the piano was like a mountain secluded, giving birth to some desolation, and then gradually there were some clear and strange wind bones in the sound of the piano, combined with this rapid retreating scene, so that a block gradually rose in her chest. Just as the sorrow in her chest could not be eliminated, the sound of the piano suddenly rose out of thin air like a sword, like an autumn hung swaying the clear sky, and like a mountain eagle spinning its top and falling down, stirring up all her melancholy into a bone-chilling strength.

The sound of the piano suddenly stopped, and just when Zhenshu thought that the song had been played, the unhurried sound of the piano began again, gradually distracting, and although the last few sounds seemed to be understated, they seemed to contain infinite meaning.

After a long time, Zhenshu even stopped breathing, and asked for a long time, "What kind of song is this?" ”

Yu Yichen said: "Guangling Stops". ”

He put the piano up in his arms, got up and went into the cabin.

However, in a flash, the cruise ship has been anchored at the pier outside Beijing. Yu Yichen and Zhenshu got off the boat and got into the carriage, and drove quickly, and when they arrived in Dedong City, the half-curved crescent of the fine tooth had already hung on the branches. Zhenshu knew that at this time, Song Anrong was only afraid that his anxious body was trembling, and he didn't say goodbye when he saw the car stop, so he jumped out of the car and ran to Dongshi.

She ran a long way, and her heart was a little uncertain, and when she suddenly turned around, she saw that in the faint night, Yu Yichen was still standing in front of the car and looking at her. Too far away, she could only see the thin black clothes on his body and the wooden hairpin on his head.

Yu Yichen stood in the night wind for a long time, and a Mei Xun wearing a coarse linen robe walked over from behind, stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Father-in-law, can the canal be banned?" ”

Although he kept his voice down, his voice was still as piercing as if it had been slashed by a knife.

Yu Yichen was still standing with his hands in his hands, looking at the end of the street. The shawl on the girl who was running in her skirt had just disappeared around the corner, and the anger on her face and the urgency between her brows were the same as the sadness and joy on her face that had changed from the music when she listened to the piano. He turned around and got into the carriage, took the food box and held it in his arms, and after a while, he said, "Then let's drive." ”
