On June 25, the policy book on Jiang Lingtian's succession to the governor of Yongyang Mansion arrived, which was brought by Chen Ang himself, accompanied by Xiao Yuru, Chen Shuyu and others, and Zhang Zhongdao led a thousand Qingfeng Jingqi to escort him. Yongyang's officials were frightened again. Xu Ruyu knew that Chen Ang and the others saw him off, and he was grateful.

The news that Xu Ruyu was leaving had already spread in Yongyang Mansion, but at first he didn't dare to believe it, so it was just spreading. It wasn't until Chen Ang came to Yongyang to set up Jiang Lingtian as the governor of Yongyang Mansion, and the people of Yongyang suddenly came back to their senses, and General Qingfeng was really about to leave Yongyang.

June 28th, everyone in Yongyang City flocked to Mingyue Tower, who had never entered the restaurant for half a lifetime, and today he also donated generously, and asked for a cup of glutinous rice Chen in Mingyue Tower, a little bit, I only hope that Xu Ruyu will look at him again when he goes downstairs. Many people couldn't find a seat in the building, so they sat there with empty wine glasses. More people crowded outside the building, and a circle surrounded Mingyue Tower, waiting to see Xu Ruyu.

Liang Bao, Sleeve, Yun Niang and others led people to persuade the people outside the building to disperse, and those simple people were clumsy in their words and deeds, dispersed and came back, lingering near Dongsheng Street, refusing to leave.

The people who are densely packed on Changsheng Street are looking up at the towering Mingyue Tower, and their eyes are eager and pure. Mei Tierui saw that people were still pouring here everywhere, and her eyes were wet with tears. Looking at the big and small officials behind him, he sighed, doubting his past practices for the first time.

When Xu Ruyu first served as the lieutenant of Yongyang and resisted the Puji bandits, Mei Tierui saw his amazing talent, and Mei Tierui hoped that the Mei clan could get an unprecedented development wedge by following him. In the process of Xu Ruyu's administration, he implemented a policy of suppressing the powerful and powerful, which made Mei Tie feel that he was a threat to the Mei clan, so that when the Yongyang families united with Gongliang Qin Xing to assassinate him, he did not warn him in time. Xu Ruyu will plan and break the Puji bandit army, giving Mei Tierui a sense of shock, although he is impressed by his magnanimity, but Mei Tierui is completely on the front line with the Yongyang family at this time, thinking that Xu Ruyu's influence in Yongyang is more and more far-reaching, and it has a severe threat to the interests of the family. In the implementation of the "Resettlement Order for Displaced People" and the "Disposal of Wasteland after the War", he tried his best to strive for favorable conditions for the Mei people and forced Xu Ruyu to leave Yongyang.

Until this time, Mei Tierui was shocked to see these simple people spontaneously expressing their inner respect to Xu Ruyu, and deeply felt that Xu Ruyu's heart that did not love the powerful at all was truly compassionate.

Liang Bao squeezed out of the crowd and saw Mei Tierui leading Yongyang officials to stand on the periphery of the crowd, and said, "Master Mei, Captain Jiang asked me to lead the second sentinel to maintain order, and the people continue to pour here, and they can't stop it." Mei Liting said: "The soldiers and generals guarding outside Changsheng Street, as long as they hear that they are here to see off General Qingfeng, they will not stop them at all." Mei Tierui said: "Hundreds of people in the Dongcheng camp are seriously ill today, and you are allowed to ask for medical treatment outside the camp?" Mei Liting was startled, seeing that he had no intention of reproaching, he had the courage to whisper: "Those people have followed General Qingfeng, and they have begged for a long time, but they really can't be hard-hearted. ”

Shen Deqian heard this, remembered the situation when the soldiers in the battalion begged him, his heart moved, he took out the token, and said to Liang Bao: "General Liang Bao, please transfer people to the camp in the north of the city to maintain order?" ”

Shen Yi asked in a low voice, "There are so many people, how can we get in." Shen Deqian said sharply: "Squeeze in, I will sweat today, and I can only squeeze in." With that, he stretched out his hand to Mei Tierui and asked him to go first. Mei Tierui asked in a low voice, "Do you want Xu Ruyu to leave now?" Shen Deqian sighed and said gloomily: "Why are you still talking about this now?" ”

In the early morning of June 29, taking advantage of the clear morning light to leave from the Jingtai Gate of Xicheng, the four thousand soldiers of the Xicheng camp were on duty in the Jingtai Gate Tower, standing all night under the cool night breeze, watching Xu Ruyu's figure gradually moving away, hot tears rolled down, dripping on the armor, and dissolved with the clear morning dew.

Xu Ruyu left Jingtai Gate, felt the eager attention behind him, resisted the urge to turn his head, walked forward, walked about twenty miles along the official road of Yongyang to Suyi, at the corner, saw the sparkling water of the river, there was a sense of relief, rushed to the river embankment, a lift, two steps in the air, then to the river, and the water, the body suddenly flipped over, and submerged into the river.

Xu Ruyu's mind was immersed in Knowledge, and he let the river wash over his body, hovering in the water like a swimming fish in the empty space.

Xu Ruyu completely dissolved himself into the river and swam against the current, from time to time there were river fish swimming past Xu Ruyu, and occasionally one or two fish hovered in front of Xu Ruyu's eyes, staring at him. Xu Ruyu smiled, and immediately destroyed the mysterious feeling of dissolving with the river. The fish scattered in horror, and finally one of the fish realized that he could not swim any way. Xu Ruyu smiled weirdly, reached out and copied the fish in his hand, and said, "I'm sorry for you, I'm hungry." ”

Xu Ruyu finally said that he was marching in the water, dissolving his mind with the river, feeling that a boat was passing by, and then he poked his head out.

After more than ten days, he came to a small town called Zhuhang on the side of the Hankou Yi River in Jinyang County, and Xu Ruyu came ashore. This place is far away from the East China Sea, and there is no fear that anyone will recognize him.

The Huo family in Jinyang raised troops against Jing County, but the territory of Jinyang did not suffer from war. Xu Ruyu walked into Zhuhang Town, only to see a clear stream flowing down the gentle slope, looking at the water on the street, a two-story building with white walls and black tiles, and a polished granite street, which could not extend for a mile, so he turned east and left the field of vision.

I didn't see the high walls and deep houses, let alone the officials with horizontal eyebrows and vertical eyes, but at this time the clouds were piling up in the sky, and the residents of the town were happily pouring into the streets, hoping that a heavy rain would fall to cool off the heat. The man seemed to be quiet, but the young woman was laughing and laughing, seeing Xu Ruyu walking by, she looked at him boldly, and bursts of laughter broke out from time to time behind her.

Xu Ruyu is self-reliant and handsome, although he deliberately removes Danxi, he is also a rare heroic figure in this small town where outsiders rarely visit.

Xu Ruyu found a small hotel in the town to stay, but when he went downstairs, he saw a group of young women hugging at the door.

Xu Ru Yufu couldn't bear it when he met such an enthusiastic and unrestrained woman.

The women in the small town mostly wear slanted short-sleeved shirts, revealing the round and smooth whole arm, which is white and dazzling; The pleated long skirt looks like the waist muscles are wonderful and soft, and the pair of bare feet under the long skirt step on the smooth granite.

Xu Ruyu walked onto the stone street, and there were constant eating and laughing in the houses on both sides. After a while, raindrops the size of beans fell sparsely, crackling on the stone street, and a girl jumped in front of Xu Ruyu and invited him to come into the house to avoid the rain.

Xu Ruyu was in a good mood when he was infected by them, as if he had returned to the years when he was in the flower boat.

Entering the store with the girl, looking at the wall full of mountain goods, a middle-aged man with a frustrated face was smoking a hookah in front of the low table, and when he saw Xu Ruyu coming in, he raised the cigarette gun in his hand and showed a sincere smile.

Xu Ruyu shook his head and said, "I won't." Came in to take shelter from the rain and disturbed. ”

The middle-aged man smiled: "Everyone wants others to be convenient when they go out, but don't be frightened by Xiao Nizi, it's rare to have a handsome young man like you in this town, no wonder the little girl's heart is alive." ”

The girl's pretty face was slightly red, and her beautiful eyes looked at Xu Ruyu with a long look, but when she saw that he was looking at herself with a smile, her face suddenly became hot, and she lowered her eyebrows and blamed Daddy: "How can a daddy in the world say this about his daughter?" ”

The middle-aged man laughed and said, "Little brother, my name is Yi Guanyuan, she is my only daughter, her name is ......"

The girl screamed: "How can there be a father in the world who casually tells his daughter's name to outsiders?" ”

At this time, three or four young women next door called: "Listen to the snow, listen to the snow, are you a guest at home?" ”

Yi Tingxue covered her ears, stomped her feet, and jumped out with a pink face, and for a while there was a crisp scream and laughter from next door.

Xu Ruyu smiled and said, "Mr. Yi, my name is Ah Yu." I've traveled to many places in the world, and I've never seen a place like this one, which makes people feel rooted and old here. ”

Yi Guanyuan took a puff of hookah, and slowly exhaled smoke clouds that filled his eyes, but Xu Ruyu could still feel his eyes looking at him through the smoke.

Yiguan's voice in the smoke and clouds is particularly distant: "How can there be a victory in the world, here is just a few idlers who are poor and scheming." ”

Xu Ruyu waited for the smoke to dissipate, smiled sincerely, and said: "If you can hear such a bright laughter like broken jade, how can you say that you are poor?" ”

At this time, there was a sound of laughter from next door, Yi Guanyuan squinted his eyes, and looked at Xu Ruyu with satisfaction: "If the little brother is not in a hurry, he can stay here for a few more days, the young men and women in this town will light a fire at night every few days, drink and sing, and dedicate literature and martial arts, which is very lively." ”

Xu Ruyu said: "I want to go along the Han River to conceive, it's not a hurry, to find a friend." If there is a shortage of soldiers today, I haven't heard from my friends for a long time, and I think that she may be in my arms, so I will try my luck. ”

Yi Tingxue stood under the eaves in front of the door and said, "Your friend should be very famous. ”

Xu Ruyu asked rhetorically: "How do you know?" ”

"Listen to your tone, as long as your friend is in your arms, you can find out about him, so isn't his name very famous?"

Xu Ru smiled foolishly: "Have you heard of Youli Huafang? I used to be a little guy on the flower boat, I left the flower boat in Jiangjin one year, and now I want to return to the flower boat, so I look around. ”

"Ah, Fairy Qin." Yi Tingxue screamed in surprise and said happily: "Three months ago, she passed by here and played a song for us, and then I heard her say that she was going to Huailai and Hanzhong, and she hasn't come down yet." Why didn't she come down yet, because when she left, she said she would play a few tunes for us when she came back. ”

When Xu Ruyu heard the exact news of Youli for the first time, he was naturally happy in his heart, narrowed his eyes, looked at Tingxue's youthful and energetic face, and said, "You can really bring joy to people." ”

Yi Tingxue said: "Your name is Xiaoyu, Sister Youli has mentioned you." The son of the Huo family is also on the flower boat, and Sister Youli may be a guest in Huailai now. ”

Xu Ruyu listened, his eyes darkened, he turned his face away, and looked at the rain splashing on the stone street, and he didn't make a sound for a long time.

Yi Tingxue turned to him and said, "Ah, you also like Sister Youli, Sister Youli takes off her veil here, and the men in the town want to go to the flower boat to paddle, and even Daddy wants to be twenty years younger." ”

Yi Guanyuan coughed violently behind him and said, "How can a daughter in the world say this about Daddy?" ”

It is advisable to listen to the snow laughing mischievously; This really bright smile was reflected in Xu Ruyu's heart.

Xu Ruyu's eyes lit up and said, "I think the men in the town will stay for the Snow Maiden." ”

Yi Tingxue stood up and turned around, and when she left, she turned around and gave Xu Ruyu a bright and shy smile.

Although he knew Youli's whereabouts, Xu Ru was stupid and timid. Thinking of the intimate expression of seeing Youli and Huo Qingtong together, he was very confused, and he didn't have the courage to walk along the Han River to Huailai. He settled down in Zhuhang Town, walked straight to the bank of the Han River every day, sat on the stone cliff, and looked at the Han River flowing down slowly.

Qingchuan calendar, fragrant grass, Yanbo River, hanging the flag of the two lakes of the merchant ships shuttle back and forth. The merchant ships of Jingjun, Jinyang and Nanping Waterways all need to fly the flag of the Two Lakes Association to pass, and the merchant ships from the direction of Yongning, Donghai and Yuejun; Merchant ships coming down from the direction of Chengdu and Chongqing were required to pay taxes to the Lianghu Association when entering the waterways of the three counties.

The fishing boats were still on the silky river, the bronze skin shone beautifully in the sun, the young fishermen of the town shouted in the river, and a passionate river trumpet was sung, and the women in the reeds responded with cheerful and light laughter, and when they finished singing, a soft and tactful song floated from the river reeds, floating on the misty river. Xu Ruyu heard the soft voice of the snow.

"The magpie fills the river and the fairy waves are shallow, and the clouds are early on the side of the star bridge. The street drum is dark at dusk and the sunset is dark. The scorching light gathers, and the golden hook falls to the west of the sky.

After a farewell to the beginning of the years, what is the limit of the new love? Heavenly good time greedy attachment. The good night is short, and the world is not compatible with the silver arrow. ”

Standing quietly under a row of willow trees on the side of the stone cliff, the evening breeze blows, Xu Ruyu can hear the singing, the thoughts in his heart fluctuate, the singing stops, it is a burst of coquettish laughter, it is appropriate to listen to the snow jumping gently, leaving a few shallow footprints on the sand and mud, and then sitting next to Xu Ruyu. Brushing his hair behind his ears, following Xu Ruyu's gaze to the upper reaches of the Han River, more than ten warships were going down the stream, the sails were hanging, the fishing boats and merchant ships were all avoiding the riverside, and in the blink of an eye, the more than ten warships were in front of him, turned into the waterway of the river, and sailed eastward.

Suddenly seeing these troop transport warships sent to Jingjun, and remembering that this world was in turmoil, Xu Ruyu sighed secretly, thinking: It would be great if all places were as peaceful as this place. Turning his head to look at Tingxue; Listening to Xueming's eyes as clear as this river wave, he was staring at him.

Listen to Xue said: "Have you walked a lot of places? ”

Xu Ruyu remembered that he traveled the world with his father when he was a child, and later traveled around the rivers and lakes with Youli Huafang, and nodded slightly.

"Is it much more interesting somewhere else?"

Xu Ruyu shook his head and said, "I have walked through so many places, and this is the best." ”

Hearing Xue Gege laugh, he said, "I think so too." Will you stay? Ah, I heard Daddy say, you are an extraordinary person, I have never heard Daddy say this about others, you definitely don't want to stay in this small place. At the end of the sentence, Listening to the snow's voice became soft and dim.

Xu Ruyu thought to herself: I don't know if Sister Youli wants to live here. Looking back at the distant mountains behind the town, like Dai Mei, with a slight purple haze, he thought again: No matter what, you must find them first.

"There is a little mud mark on your cheek, maybe I accidentally splashed it, don't move, I'll wipe it off for you."

Xu Ruyu thought to herself: If Sister Youli really wants to stay in Huailai, what should I do? His right cheek was cold, and he listened to Xue's cold fingers gently wiping the mud marks under his cheeks.

Xu Ruyu said: "Your fingers are so cold. ”

Hearing Xue Jiaorou, she smiled and said, "You were thinking about Sister Youli again just now?" Ah, Sister Youli also said that if she no longer walks the world in the future, she will live here, and she also said that she will build a bamboo building on the other side of my house, and every time I sing, she will play the piano and harmonize. Ah, how is my singing? After saying that, he lowered his head shyly, looked at the green Jiang Wei under the stone cliff, and remembered the sentence recited by the ancients about Jiang Wei: The leaves are pale, and the white dew is frost. The so-called Iraqi people are on the water side. He thought to himself: The Yiren in his heart is on the other side of the water. The expression was gloomy, and at this time, Jiang Xin sang again, listening to Xue standing up, stretching his arms back, and with a soft cry, he jumped off the stone cliff lightly, and his petite and light body like a deer was submerged in the flourishing river reeds. After a while, listening to Xue Roumei's voice again, it was the sentence of Zhang Chongtian, a literati of the old dynasty:

"There are no ten miles of Chenghu Lake, and the dancing gulls are bathing in the herons. The void is white and empty, who is comparable, the clear light is like Lian Xia like Qi.

It is said that the wind of the boat is fine, and the river traces the shore to find Xiao Temple. And look for double carp from the fisherman, I can't afford it, and my leisure is in the autumn water. ”

Xu Ruyu listened to the charming and insignificant singing with a smile, and turned around and walked towards the town.
