CHAPTER XXI

The three of them came to the nearest town, chose a modest noodle restaurant, and sat down around the window seats. Although Su Shi once worshiped the bachelor of Hanlin and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he was liberal by nature and honest as an official, and after being demoted to Huangzhou, he led his family to reclaim a sloping land in the east of the city in his spare time, and farmed to help make up for his livelihood. He didn't care about this, but joked: "Mr. Lin's life-saving grace should be repaid for his life, but unfortunately Su is shy in his pocket, so he has to eat two bowls of noodles~~~"

Lin Tianban's face was not high, and he said: "How can the grace of saving life be sent away in two bowls of noodles?" He was curious again: "I have heard that the Dongpo monk has a lot of experience in eating and drinking?" I want to see it today! ”

"Poof", Gou Yu, who was reading a book in his hand, said with a smile: "Mr. Lin doesn't know, Dongpo is a righteous gentleman. ”

Lin Tian was puzzled: "How do you say it?" ”

"The gentleman doesn't move his hands!" Gou Yu laughed out loud. Lin Tian suddenly understood that Su Shi was a food theorist.

Xiao Er has been standing aside for a long time, seeing that the three of them are extraordinary, they don't dare to urge, when Lin Tian and Gou Yu were shaking, Su Shi invited Xiao Er to whisper, and Xiao Er ran to the back kitchen......

After Su Shi finished explaining, he frowned and said to Lin Tiandao: "Mr. Lin has been friends with the old god for a long time on the boat......

Gou was also curious to read, put down the book and listened, he was good friends with Su Shi, and he didn't know that there was such a "martial arts master" as Lin Tian among Su Shi's friends.

Lin Tian poured a cup of tea and groaned: "The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, the waves are sweeping away the heroes, and the success or failure turns to ......."

Before Lin Tian finished chanting, Su Shi and Gou Yu's eyes widened, and they exclaimed, "Could it be ......?"

"Hey, hey." Even though Lin Tian cultivated as an earth immortal, in front of Su Shi, a great writer in the world, he still had a little weakness in his heart when he stole the words of the later generations and pretended to be his own, his face turned red, and he clenched his fists and said: "No, it's not ...... It is under the small work ......"

His face was red and cramped, and in Su Shigou's eyes, he thought he was embarrassed. Needless to say, although Gou Gou reads with mediocre martial arts, he is good at reading, and he is a very learned Confucian, so he can't help but sigh at this time: "I want to read and think I am a pedant, I don't want to ...... Alas......"

Since ancient times, there is no first, and there is no second. Su Shi and Gou Reading couldn't help but be a little lonely. Lin Tian blurted out and said: "This is called 'the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and one generation is stronger than the next'!" "I regretted it as soon as I finished speaking, looking at the expressions of the two, isn't this which pot can't be opened?

"The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and one generation is stronger than the next." Su Shi and Gou read silently, and sighed again, look at others, the exit is a classic.

Lin Tian scolded himself a lot, stopped talking, and looked out the window, at noon, the hawkers and pedestrians on the street were all going home to eat and rest, and it seemed empty. On the other side of the street, there were seven or eight beggars on the side of the road, some lying and sitting, not old, but they looked like withered trees, their eyes were numb, and they looked at the noodle shop from time to time, and their mouths were hungry. Lin Tian couldn't help but sigh.

After all, Su Shi and Gou Yu are Confucians, and they are open-minded, and they returned to normal after mourning for a while, and when they heard Lin Tian sigh, they looked at him with their eyes......

The three fell silent. At this time, there was a "noodles~~~", as soon as the words fell, I saw Xiao Er dragging the food plate quickly, and the three bowls of noodles were placed, and he said: "Please use it slowly, if you have something to say hello~~~~" and walked away again......

Noodles, very white. The noodle bowl is huge. The noodles are also very ordinary, and they are a bowl of green vegetable noodles. It was clean, clean and refreshing. The aroma is striking, the smell makes people appetizing, and the small town shop is so delicious?

"Ah, innocent noodles? Good noodles! Gou read and admired, his hands were not idle, and he was already in the stomach of two mouthfuls......

"Innocent?" Lin Tian questioned.

"Hmm~Hmm~" Gou Yu said while eating: "This is one of Su Lao's proudest foods...... "He stuffed it into his mouth again, and said: "The so-called 'innocent life, innocent and white noodles' is also." A big bowl of noodles was bottomed out by him three times or two times, "staggering~~~" even drank the noodle soup cleanly, patted his belly, burped, and said with satisfaction: "Good noodles, good noodles." Continuing Lin Tian's questioning, he replied: "This noodle is also simple to say, they are all ordinary materials, good in the preparation of noodle soup, I have been friends with Lao Su for more than ten years, but I just refuse to tell me, so that every time I want to eat, I have to go to Su Mansion with a shy face......" He complained, but there was a smile on his face, thinking that it was a trick between friends, and suddenly he exclaimed: "Lao Su, you ...... just now"

Su Shi swallowed a mouthful of noodles slowly and said, "Yes." He added: "Food is silent, pillow is silent." Then I went to eat noodles.

Lin Tian already understood that Su Shi had just whispered to Xiao Er, he had told him how to prepare the noodle soup, he invited himself to eat noodles, it was his most proud white noodles, and telling the recipe was to show his sincerity, he was really a lover. Lin Tian also ate it at the moment, only thinking that it was extremely delicious.

"Goo~~~" At this time, there was a sudden sound of hunger on Lin Tian's left, and when he looked back, it was a little beggar standing outside the window and looking inward, staring at the face in Lin Tian's hand, his eyes were clear and clear, but there was a disgusting smell on his body.

Lin Tian couldn't help but think of the situation when he had just crossed over, starved to death in the broken temple, and went to steal vegetables in the middle of the night, his compassion rose, and he handed over the unfinished half bowl of noodles and said, "I can't finish eating, you eat." ”

The little beggar stared at the bowl and swallowed, but shook his head and turned to the seven or eight beggars across the street.

"What a kid!" Gou read praise and asked the little beggar: "Are there your relatives on the other side?" ”

The little beggar shook his head and said, "I don't know them. "The voice is childish and crisp, very childlike.

Reading Daqi, he said: "The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have great compassion for all sentient beings, and the scriptures say: 'Great compassion without cause, great compassion with the body'. At this time, Su Shi had also finished eating, knew what had happened, and laughed and praised: "At the beginning of man, his nature is good, and the saint will not deceive me." ”

Lin Tian only felt that he was very close to the little beggar, so he hugged him in through the window, and called Xiao Er, gave him a piece of silver, and ordered a pass, Xiao Er put on a bowl of white noodles, and sent two bowls of noodles to each of the seven or eight beggars, and then went out in a hurry, Lin Tian instructed him to buy some clothes and shoes for the little beggar......

The little beggar ate on the table stiffly, Si Swenwen, without making a sound, Su Shi praised: "It's a polite child." ”

Gou didn't like it, and retorted with a smile: "Does Lao Su mean that Sang scolds Huai?" And said: "Eat, if it's delicious, you have to eat it refreshingly, how can there be so many rules?" That one...... What is your name? Gou Yu asked the little beggar.

The little beggar stopped the dishes and chopsticks, and replied weakly: "I don't know, I don't have parents, everyone else has parents......" As he spoke, he choked up, and his big black eyes were covered with a layer of fog, and it was about to rain.

Su Shi sighed and said, "I don't know how many such pitiful children there are in the world!" At this time, he remembered the famous sentence of his mentor Ouyang Xiu's friend Fan Zhongyan: The worries of the people of the world are worried, and the happiness of the people of the world is happy. I also remembered that my teacher and Fan Zhongyan tried to reform and renew, but they were repeatedly slandered, suppressed, degraded and exiled, and had to enjoy the bitterness of "I am only drunk as usual......
