On a square table, there is only one plate of roast lamb shank, one plate of beef in sauce, a few dishes of seasonal vegetables, and two pots of sake.

"You're not kind, the dishes sent to the introspection building are very rich, why do you fool me with this little thing?" Although Du Jiaoxi was solemn in front of outsiders, in his heart, Du Fu was still the crazy man who was drunk under the belly of the table, and he was a good friend who messed around together.

Du Fu took a sip of wine and looked intoxicated: "Don't be dissatisfied, these small dishes are prepared by me." Especially this roasted leg of lamb, roasted so that it is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and this layer of spices is also my unique secret, and there is no semicolon. ”

"You can't even afford a silver knife for such a big leg of mutton, do you want me to pick it up and gnaw on it?"

Du Fu slapped his saber and threw a small piece of mutton into his mouth: "Oh, just eat it like this." ”

Yu Lang thought it was interesting, and he also took out a grinding stone knife and put a piece of meat into his mouth, which was indeed a unique flavor, and the smile on his face gradually increased.

The two of them chatted around for a while, and they both put aside their worries for the time being, one cup after another, boasting about many Haikou that they couldn't believe.

"Du Zimei, what is your ideal? Champion and high-ranking official? Or do it to Dean Chen, and become the dean of the Moon Washing Academy. ”

"Moon Washing Academy? I'm not here, and I'm just going to make some more money by hanging up the name of these top ten wandering teachings. My dream is to build a beautiful house, so that all the people in the world can have a shelter from the wind and rain to study well. Every time I save an extra tael of silver, I am one step closer to this ideal, which makes me feel at ease and down-to-earth. ”

Yu Lang asked, "What about ordinary people?" ”

Du Fu stretched out a finger and shook it: "My second wish is to make everyone able to read." ”

Yu Lang smiled: "These two wishes of yours are too big and too difficult, even if you say that you want to be the emperor, it is not so difficult." ”

Du Fu half-truthfully persuaded Yu Lang and shook his head: "You can't say this, it's a big sin to talk about the saint in vain." ”

While talking, it rained, and the roof of Du Fu's broken house was only covered with a layer of withered grass, and after a while, it was raining heavily outside and light rain inside.

Du Fu's house is not in Yangzhou City, but in the suburbs, and a few pieces of wood were hastily built, and it is also called the grass hall. However, Du Fu usually doesn't live here, he lives in Yu Lang's house in Ping'an, and the money spent also comes from Yu Lang, and he eats and lives in Obaba.

"Do you want to move the ground?" Du Fu asked.

"No, no, it's only fun to drink in the rain."

"Well said!"

Du Fu was interested, and used his sword to dig wildly on the ground, and under the newly opened soil, there were more than a dozen jars of wine.

Yu Lang laughed: "These wines are more expensive than your thatched hut, right?" ”

Yu Lang thought to himself: In a few decades, I will never let you be as sloppy as written in "The Song of the Thatched House Broken by the Autumn Wind", and protect you in that troubled world. Du Fu is older than Yu Lang, and his cultivation is higher than Yu Lang, but for some reason, Du Fu, who occasionally exudes fatigue, always makes people feel protective.

Du Fu was a little drunk, patted Yu Lang's shoulder and said: "Actually, ideals are ideals, I, Du Zimei, am not born saints, if I have the opportunity to be a jinshi, enter the court as an official, and show my ambitions, I am also happy." ”

"To Jun Yao Shun, and then make the customs pure." Yu Lang muttered.

"Wonderful sentence, wonderful sentence! These two lines of poetry really entered my heart, and the more I reminisce, the more intimate I felt. Du Fu frowned, always feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong.

Yu Lang remembered that this was Du Fu's own poem, but it was a poem ten years later, and hurriedly said: "These two poems were read by yourself when you were drunk once, not my poems, I can't write such a serious thing." ”

Du Fu looked relieved: "Fortunately, you have written it down, and when I complete this poem in the future, I will definitely repair a book, and the first one will be shown to you!" ”

"Okay,! No, wait, send a letter? Do you mean that you are going to leave the Moon Washing Academy for a while and continue your wandering teachings? The wine bowl in Yu Lang's hand froze.

Du Fu shook his head: "I don't plan to hang up on this Yunyou teaching job anymore, I'm going to Chang'an." Moon Washing Academy is just a stop in life for you, and one day we will meet again in Chang'an. ”

Yu Lang felt a little unacceptable for a while, and thought in his heart: Du Fu appeared when Yu Chaoran had just passed away - I was at my lowest, led me into the Moon Washing Academy, and helped me through many difficulties.

How lonely it should be to leave you to steal me, Yu Lang was a little sentimental, and with the strength of the wine rising, his eyes were red.

"You kid, why do you have the same personality as me, you can't let go of things when you're old? I, Du Zimei, am not your savior, but you are a very ordinary friend, and you will meet a lot of friends who have voted for the deed in the future. ”

"Speaking of which, I was also very happy during my time in Yangzhou, with your little friend gagging, and when you have nothing to do, you can go to the painting boat to listen to Xian'er sing two little songs and chat."

When it came to Xian'er, Yu Lang had some doubts in his heart: "Why don't you help Sister Xian'er redeem herself, my three thousand taels of silver are not enough?" ”

Du Fu's expression was calm: "The fish jumps into the sea, and the bird flies into the sky." Xian'er is used to living a rich life on the painting boat, and the money she has saved herself is enough for her to spend her old age in old age, so why bother to live a hard life with me. Everyone has their own pursuits, and my life is destined to be a hard life, but I hope she can live a happy life. ”

"Maybe she prefers to live a poor life with you?"

Du Fu smiled: "She is still young now, maybe she does have such an impulse, she will regret it one day, poor couples mourn everything, she is not the kind of person who can endure poverty." Rather than exhausting this feeling in the future in firewood, rice, oil, salt, coarse tea and light rice, it is better to seal the best memories and forget each other in the rivers and lakes. ”

"Well said, in order to forget about each other in the rivers and lakes, do one!"

After drinking four wine jars in a row, Du Fu's tongue became bigger and bigger, and he even began to talk nonsense.

Yu Lang saw that the time was almost up, and suddenly asked: "Is it related to my theft of the marrow washing pool that you suddenly want to leave this time?" ”

"Hmm." Du Fu replied vaguely, and spit out the truth after drinking, which is indeed true.

"The matter of the marrow washing pool can be big or small, so that it will not force you to leave the Moon Washing Academy, is someone forcing you to ask me about the town stone?" Yu Lang thought for a while and continued to ask.

Du Fu smirked three times: "You kid, you want to get me drunk and talk to me...... If you can guess this at once, it is indeed smart. This is also an important reason why I can leave with confidence, you are no longer the little Yulang who was touched and knocked down by someone before, as long as I help you survive this hurdle, you must be able to deal with things in the future......"

"How are you going to cover it up for me? That Zhendi Stone was an earth-level treasure, and only cultivators of the Upper Three Realms could break it. ”

Du Fu shook his head: "You see that my wretched appearance doesn't look like the Upper Three Realms, right?" I am the cultivation of the first realm of the upper three realms, don't be so surprised, I may be the most wasteful realm of the Xuan realm in history, half of the enlightenment, I am afraid, I cut off the root of the Dao, and I will not be able to advance an inch for the rest of my life. ”

"Afraid?"

"When you break through the Xuan Realm, you need to face the memories you don't want to face the most - some people say that they are heart-breaking demons, I don't dare, I coax, I can't do it if I don't realize it."

"Twenty-nine-year-old Wu Xuan, Du Zimei! If you practice seriously, you will be the most terrible demon in the Moon Washing Academy. ”

Du Fu's head became more and more dizzy: "You don't have to worry about anything else, Dean Chen asked you, and you said that I was short-hearted, helped you open the town stone, and sent you in to wash the meridians and cut the marrow." Whether he believes it or not, I, Du Zimei, are leaving, and he will definitely give me this face, uh, I won't ask again. ”

"Don't you wonder who helped me, maybe I'm a wicked person who has fallen into the devil's path, maybe it's a demon who helped me?"

"You don't have to tell me that this trust is not a friend." After saying the last sentence, Du Fu collapsed on the table again, unconscious.

Yu Lang put on Du Fu's coat and carried him step by step towards Yangzhou City.

The pouring rain seemed to be going to fall endlessly, and Yu Lang looked up at the layers of dark clouds in the sky, only to feel that his mood was unprecedentedly happy.

To be able to make such a friend is not in vain in this life.
