On the tree-lined path by the West Lake, three people walked with umbrellas.

It was the three of Lin Muzhi.

The spring letter has arrived, all things are recovering, the yellow warblers in the forest are singing in unison, and the spring grass on the side of the road is dew. On the other side of the lake, the willows caressed the water, and there were bursts of microwaves.

Lin Muzhi was a little puzzled.

"Fatty, shouldn't you go to the dock to find a boat if you say it's good to swim in the lake? Why is it going further and further apathy? Shouldn't you be looking for a no-man's land, let's go swim with the three of you? ”

Shopkeeper Liu laughed when he heard Lin Muzhi's words, this Mr. Lin was really humorous when he spoke.

Huang Guan is also in a happy mood.

"How can that! The place we are going to is indeed relatively remote, but there are few people who can find that place, the fee is not cheap, and the boatman is also an old boatman. Although it is a small boat, it is also light, and within two hours, all the scenery of the West Lake can be kept without falling, and you can see it all. The merchant ships on the dock are either Qinglou Painting Boat, or they help Qinglou Painting Boat usher in the delivery, and they all stay in the cabin when they get on those ships, so it is better to eat tea in the restaurant. ”

This little fat man is really very understanding, his own lady has not been found, so he has time to go to those fireworks and willow alleys to find flowers and ask the mood of willows, so he will attract himself here.

"Don't be in a hurry to finish the day trip, don't go back too much, I'll go back early, and I'll make dinner for the little orange."

The fat man replied:

"It's okay, I'll let the boatman stop the boat on the shore near the academy later, and we'll go down from there, it's just hard Uncle Liu, take two more steps."

Shopkeeper Liu hurriedly answered:

"It's not tight, it's not tight."

After chatting for a while, the three of them came to the ferry.

The ferry was just a boat, and as the fat man said, it was a small boat, tied to a covered bridge made of wooden planks. The boat is like a crescent moon, with two ends cocked, and a black canopy is set up in the middle, which is relatively simple. There is a pergola on the shore, presumably for the travelers to wait or rest.

Coincidentally, there is a woman in the pergola, with a white umbrella, white clothes, and white shoes. It's just that at this time, the woman was standing in the pergola and did not hold an umbrella. Compared to the morning meeting, the woman has an extra white shawl. The shawl was just above the knee, the edge of the shawl was trimmed with mink, and there was a hood above the shawl. At this time, the woman had already put on a hood, and with the cover of the shawl, she could no longer see the silk of green.

The fat man was a little embarrassed.

"Old wet... Or..."

What the fat man wanted to say, Lin Muzhi had already thought of it. Without waiting for Lin Muzhi to speak, there was a thunderclap in the sky, and it rained heavily.

"Let's go, let's go shelter from the rain first."

The three of them came to the pergola, where a sign was hung on one of the pillars. "Eat at noon, and be back in three minutes". Since entering the shed three times, the woman did not turn around because of the visitor, but the rain was getting heavier, and the pergola had no wall to cover it, so she stood outside again, so the woman also held up an umbrella in the pergola.

Lin Muzhi looked around and frowned slightly.

The fat man shook the rain off his sleeve.

"This ghost weather, it's not going to fall early or late, but it's going to be at this time."

There is a square table in the pergola, and the shopkeeper Liu put the food box on the square table and said with a smile:

"This God's business, isn't it God's decision? How can we ordinary people manage it? ”

Shopkeeper Liu didn't know about that little episode in the morning. In his mind, this heavy rain poured down, and they met by chance under the same roof, if something happened, wouldn't it be another romantic story of a talented and beautiful woman.

Lin Muzhi put the umbrella under the table.

"Uncle Liu, let's take out the east and the west, let's eat it. The rain is so heavy that I don't think the boat will come for a while. ”

Since Mr. Lin has spoken, Shopkeeper Liu did not ask his young owner's opinion. The snacks, pastries and drinks they brought were placed on the table.

The three of them sat down, Lin Muzhi and Huang Guan always regarded the woman as air, but the shopkeeper Liu thought that the two of them were thin-skinned and didn't dare to come forward to talk, who hasn't been young yet, hasn't he? It seems that I am going to buy the old again.

"This girl, in this kind of weather, the boatman shouldn't be able to come for a while, why don't you eat something together, sit down and wait slowly?"

The woman turned sideways, smiling in the corner of her eye, but only a polite smile.

"Thank you to this elder, I have already had lunch at home."

After speaking, the woman straightened up and ignored the three of them.

Shopkeeper Liu looked at the two young men and gave them an embarrassed but polite smile. The meaning is clear, I have picked the words for you, as for how to talk, it is up to you.

When the woman turned sideways, Lin Muzhi looked the woman up and down.

The woman's face was covered with a veil, and it was also white. As far as the side of the face is concerned, I can't see the age, but it is enough to make Lin Muzhi shocked.

If you want to be pretty, seven points of filial piety. Why did the ancients say this? Filial piety, which refers to filial piety clothes, are all white. First, the woman's white dress is clean and tidy, and second, the woman's skin can also be lined with white. The woman who was already outstanding, put on this white garment, and it became even more evident that there was nothing in heaven and nothing on earth.

It wasn't until Lin Muzhi took a closer look that he found that this woman was not a pure one, there was a faint plum blossom embroidery on the umbrella, shawl, veil and shoe upper, but it was far away, and it was not real, so I thought it was pure white.

When we met in the morning, this woman appeared at the college. Lin Muzhi asked Huang Guan with his eyes. It means "from our college?"

Huang Guan stared at Lin Muzhi with his eyes and shook his head slightly in reply.

Lin Muzhi carefully observed the woman up and down, his eyes stopped at the small plum blossom on the woman's clean upper, but his brows furrowed even deeper.

The three of them had been chatting in the pergola for more than an hour, during which the man and the woman had no words or intersections.

Shopkeeper Liu began to doubt life, and there was a saying in the book, "My Fair Lady, a gentleman." "Doesn't it seem appropriate to put it here? What's the situation?

The content of the three people's chats is mostly people's homely gossip. The fat man wanted to open his mouth to discuss the matter of the library with Lin Muzhi several times, but was stopped by Lin Muzhi with his eyes.

After an hour and a half, the rain gradually stopped. Lao Zhouzi is also late. When I saw four people coming in the pergola, I hurriedly stepped forward to make amends. He also didn't expect that on such a rainy day, there would be people who would come to travel in the remaining boats.

When Huang Guan saw Zhouzi coming, he began to instigate Lin Muzhi.

"Little Master, how's it going? Hop on board? Whether it's playing or going back to the academy, it's very fast, and the key is that we don't have to walk back. ”

Glancing at the woman, Huang Guan continued:

"It doesn't matter, it's just that there is a lot of money, and she shouldn't be able to compete with us. If she wants to be together, we won't stop her. ”

Lin Muzhi thought for a moment and said:

"Forget it, let's go and buy two more books on the street, and the scenery is almost the same today. The rest is left, anyway, the days will be long. ”

Huang Guan grimaced.

"Lao Shi, aren't you talking nonsense with your eyes open, what kind of scenery do we have?"

Lin Muzhi smiled slightly.

"Why didn't you get it?"

"Pity the grass and the edge of the stream,

There are orioles singing in the deep trees.

The spring tide brings rain and comes in a hurry,

Yedu unmanned boat self-traverse. ”

"You say? Is it a reward? ”

Huang Guan has six out of seven tricks about literature, and he doesn't know anything about it, so he has to look at Shopkeeper Liu. Before Shopkeeper Liu could speak, the woman in white, who had only spoken to Shopkeeper Liu from beginning to end, said:

"Childe, good poetry!"

Lin Muzhi didn't want to have too much intersection with this woman, so he learned from Shopkeeper Liu and gave her an embarrassing but polite smile.

The fat man urged the shopkeeper Liu.

"Uncle Liu, write it down, you know my brain, everything else is okay, but this endorsement is too difficult for me."

Shopkeeper Liu is actually the general ledger of the Huang family, and he always has to settle accounts on weekdays, and he always carries a pen and paper with him. Besides, this is to accompany the literati on a trip, and it is inevitable that there will be a writing and painting, and this paper must be carried.

"Got it, Mr. Lin wait a moment."

Regarding the fat man to write down the poems, Lin Muzhi didn't say much, it is estimated that the fat man is going to take it out again, if you want to memorize it, it won't be a long story anyway, it won't take long.

After memorizing the poems, the three of them came out of the pergola, and Lin Muzhi prepared to go to the market again. The fat man whispered:

"Lao Shi, such a beautiful woman, don't you want to make friends? Even if it's just a friend, that's a doubly faceted thing! ”

Lin Muzhi glanced back at the woman in white.

"Fatty, lust makes you stupid, if you are so greedy and lustful, sooner or later you will let the goblins take you away!"

Huang Guan didn't care.

"Cut! If all elves were like that! I wish she had come and arrested me sooner! ”

People are old, Yu is fine. Shopkeeper Liu seemed to see something. Since the three of them entered the pergola until now, Mr. Lin has always stayed away from the woman, and it seems that there is some hidden affection.

"What did Mr. Lin find?"

When Huang Guan heard Shopkeeper Liu's question, he leaned closer to Lin Muzhi, waiting for Lin Muzhi's answer.

"Little fatty, look at your shoes."

Guan looked down.

"What's wrong? It's just a little dirty, but it's still very comfortable. ”

That's right! The woman seemed to appear out of thin air, and when she came, Lin Muzhi observed the surroundings, and there were only three of them. The woman stood for half an hour, that is, she did not move or make a sound, like a kind of meditation. Can an ordinary person do this for three hours without moving? This kind of person who is eccentric everywhere, it's better to stay away.

Lin Muzhi squinted his eyes and picked back.

"Look at her!"

For Lin Muzhi's keen observation, Huang Guan has experienced it firsthand. It would not surprise Huang Guan to be able to observe in detail. I glanced back again, and the more I looked, the more frightened I became.

"Liu... Uncle Liu! There can't really be goblins in this world, right? ”

Shopkeeper Liu frowned and thought for a moment and replied:

"It should be a son and daughter of the rivers and lakes, with a lot of skill. However, it's better to stay away, so as not to get into trouble. ”

At this time, the woman had already boarded the boat, and the boat was sailing with artemisia.

The woman holds the umbrella, stands firmly on the bow of the boat, and wears a white dress swaying with the wind. The breeze carries a veil, and the true face is hidden from time to time.

Zhouzi raised the number, Lin Muzhi looked back, and the woman in white turned sideways and met Lin Muzhi's eyes.

A touch of spring breeze, a clever smile.
