On the second day of the lunar month, there is freezing when you get up in the morning, the wetland on the bank of the peach forest creek is frozen hard, people's breathing is white breath, the sound of the stream gives people a particularly cold feeling, and the weather is fine, the morning sun shines over, and it is warm.

At the end of the day, Chen Caozhi, Liu Shangwei, and Ding Chunqiu went to Xu's Thatched Cottage to bid farewell to Dr. Xu, and then drove back to their hometown, thinking about leaving home for a few months.

Wei Xie, Gu Kaizhi, and Xu Miao were sent outside the West Gate, and when they passed by Zhenqing Daoist Temple, Chen Caozhi also went to say goodbye to Li Daoren.

On the side of the pavilion outside the West Gate, Gu Kaizhi said: "Zizhong, next year you will live in the peach forest Xiaozhu, I have instructed the old mangtou father and son, not to charge a penny, you, Shang Value, Spring and Autumn all live there, don't come too late, otherwise the peach blossoms will be boring only to see a red place, the peach blossoms here bloom very early, and they will begin to bloom in early February - Zizhong, remember to draw peach blossoms, show me later." ”

Wei Xie smiled: ", that tube of dry paint pills is really effective for a long time, and my heartache has been greatly alleviated in the past month, so I have the energy to return to Shouyang." ”

Chen Caozhi said: "If the Wei Shi takes it consistently, the heartache will definitely be cured, but I will say goodbye to the Wei Shi today, and I don't know when I will see each other again?" ”

Wei Xie said: "The world is difficult, it is not easy to see each other, and it is good to do it yourself." ”

As soon as the Health Association said this, Chen Caozhi and Gu Kaizhi almost burst into tears.

Wei Xie said with a smile: "Caozhi, Kaizhi, don't be sad, for the teacher, I look forward to the two of you becoming famous in the world as soon as possible, don't lose to Zhang Andao's disciples, so, there are no regrets for the teacher." ”

Gu Kaizhi said: "I won't lose, it's hard to say Zizhong, he is not as good as Lu Weirui now." ”

Chen Caozhi bowed down and said, "Master Wei, the disciple will work hard." ”

Gu Kaizhi said again: "Why didn't Lu Weirui come to see off Zizhong?" ”

Gu Kaizhi's question was not quite right, and when everyone heard it, the expressions on their faces were a little strange.

Chen Caozhi said calmly: "I went to Lu Mansion yesterday to say goodbye, and Mrs. Wei Rui wishes me and Dr. Xu a safe journey." ”

The road is far away, hurry up, cherish each way, shed tears and say goodbye.

Chen Caoyi walked through the city, came to the east road, looked back, and the prosperous city of Wu County gradually became far away.

I didn't sleep last night, I was really a little out of energy, Liu Shangzhi and Ding Chunqiu sat on the ox cart to make up for sleep, Chen Caozhi also crossed his legs on the ox cart and closed his eyes to recuperate, only to feel that his thoughts were rushing, and there seemed to be flowers spread out under his eyes, and the figure of the innocent girl with a fallen horse bun loomed among the flowers and trees-

"Xiao Langjun, Xiao Langjun, someone is calling us." Ran Sheng on the side of the car shouted.

The ox cart stopped, Chen Caozhi jumped out of the car and looked towards the road, and saw three people hurrying towards him, one of them was a servant of the Xu Academy, and the other two were face-to-face, who had never seen them before, looking at their clothes, one was like a steward of a large family, and the other was a servant running errands.

The three of them approached, and the servant of the Xu Academy gasped and said, "Chen Langjun, I finally caught up with you-"

Chen Caozhi asked, "What happened?" Dr. Xu asked me to call me? ”

The servant of the Xu Academy shook his head and said, "No, no, it's these two who want to find Chen Langjun." He turned his head to the person in charge and said, "This is Chen Langjun." ”

The middle-aged man who looked like a steward wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said respectfully: "My son-in-law is a friend of Huan Yihuan who joined the army, and I heard that Chen Langjun is good at interpreting music and playing the recorder, so he specially came to Wu County by boat from Jiankang for three days and three nights, just to listen to Chen Langjun's wonderful sound." ”

Chen Caozhi asked, "Where is your son-in-law now?" ”

The steward said: "At the Jinghe Qili Bridge." ”

The Jinghe Qili Bridge is in the northwest of the county seat, not far from the Xu School, but it is at least seven or eight miles from here.

Ding Chunqiu poked his head out of the car and said impatiently: "What kind of person, if you don't come sooner or later, we are in a hurry to go home!" ”

Chen Caozhi was not stunned, and said to the steward: "Please lead the way, and I will go with you." Let Ran Sheng follow him with Ke Tingdi, and then ordered Laide to drive with Liu Shangzhi and Ding Chunqiu to continue eastward, and he and Ran Sheng will catch up in the small town of Qingpu.

Laide said: "I'm waiting for Xiao Langjun here." ”

Chen Caozhi said: "Ran Sheng and I walked faster than the ox cart, and when we came to Germany, we were not allowed to delay." He turned and made a gesture to the steward.

The steward was very happy, and gave the servant of the Xu school fifty yuan, and led the way, and the servant of the Xu school saluted Chen Caozhi and went back to the school.

The steward said as he walked: "The villain rushed to Wu County early this morning, and learned that Chen Langjun was studying in Xu's Academy, and when the villain arrived at Xu's Academy, he said that Chen Langjun had already left to return to his hometown, and he really made the villain sweat, and I liked to hear that the servant said that Chen Langjun was not far away, and the villain came——"

Ran Sheng said: "Then I also want my Xiaolang Jun to go with you." ”

The steward hurriedly laughed and said, "Yes, yes, thank you Chen Langjun, thank you Chen Langjun." ”

Chen Caozhi said lightly: "Huan's friends who join the army, no matter how far away I will go." ”

The four people bypassed half of Wujun City, came to the bank of the Jing River, traced the river and traveled three or four miles, and saw a pontoon bridge across both sides of the Jing River, and a canopy boat more than three zhang long was moored at the south end of the pontoon bridge.

The steward pointed to the canopy boat and said, "Chen Langjun, it's that boat, wait for the villain to report first." ”

Chen Caozhi: "No need, I'll play a tune and leave." ”

The steward rushed a few steps forward and shouted to the canopy boat a few feet away: "Childe, childe, Qian Tang Chen Caozhi Chen Langjun has arrived." ”

The bow of the boat was slightly rippling, and out of the cabin came a young man with a long body, about the same age as Chen Caozhi, with two eyebrows flying obliquely, his eyes were like stars, quite heroic, but there was a very strong fat powder, the powder on his face was really thick, and the frost was better than the snow's whiteness, and the two completely different temperaments of heroic and fat powder appeared on the young man's face at the same time, which was really a little weird.

The young man glanced at Chen Caozhi twice, and arched his hand: "I wish to hear Ya Song." ”

Chen Caozhi stood under a Gongsun tree on the shore, smiled at the young man, took the wooden box in Ran Sheng's hand, and took out Ke Tingdi-

Ran Sheng also carries a simple stool in his hand, which is made by Chen Caozhi's drawings to Laide, which can be folded, very convenient, Ran Sheng loves like a treasure, and admires Caozhi Xiaolangjun incomparably, carrying this stool everywhere he goes, and likes to tear it open in front of many people, and the two sides are closed, forming a small stool, resting on the ground and sitting, very proud.

Chen Cao stretched out his robe, sat on the stool, held the flute with both hands, evened out his breath, and touched his lips with the mouth of the dong flute, slightly cold, looking at the Jing River, a wisp of flute sound turned out.

Chen Caozhi played the Ji Kangqin songs "Changqing" and "Short Qing" edited by him, and the music not only has the clarity of the qin music that is high and dusty, different customs, but also has the affectionate aria of the flute song...... The beauty of the four seasons is fleeting, such as the Jing River in front of you, rushing forward, irretrievable.

The leaves of the Gongsun tree, which was still green in winter, fell silently, and the leaves like small fans fell on the pipe, and then slid down the green and clean pipe—

Chen Caoyi stretched out his hand and grabbed the leaf, and the sound of the flute stopped.

Chen Caozhi stood up, inserted the "flute gall" into the flute tube, put it back in the wooden box, arched his hand towards the young man who had been standing on the bow of the boat, turned around and floated away.

Ran Sheng quickly put away the stool and strode to follow.

The young man at the bow of the boat said to the cabin: "Sister, then Chen Caozhi is gone." ”

A tall girl walked out of the cabin, stepped on the bow of the boat, stood side by side with the young man, looked at Chen Caozhi's back, and said softly: "No wonder Huan Yi praised him so much, he did not hesitate to give him Ke Tingdi, listening to this song is unforgettable." ”

The young man didn't think so, and asked: "In order to listen to this song, Sister Ah traveled 600 miles in three days and three nights, is it worth it?" ”

The girl said, "It's worth it." ”
