Mr. Cheng is a very bold person, but everyone he likes wants to meet for a drink or two.

Saying goodbye to Zheng Yao, Xu Yue introduced his younger brother for Wei Zigeng, the two saw each other and saluted, Wei Zigeng saw that Xu Yin was very good, and Xu Yue was very different, and couldn't help but be secretly a little curious.

"Oh? Brother Xu is studying? ”

This sentence sounded like a normal inquiry in other people's ears, but when it stopped in Xu Yin's ears, this kind of questioning seemed to become a kind of contempt, but he didn't show it, and said with the same expression:

"I don't dare to read, but occasionally go to the gate of Yishan Academy in the city to listen to the sound of reading, which is not really reading."

Wei Zigeng let out an "oh", nodded, and said abruptly, and then Xu Yue pulled the two out of the martial arts hall.

There are streets and alleys, and the three of them came to an extremely remote and dilapidated house in the corner of Yuezhou City, with tiles that do not cover the roof, but what is slightly surprising is that there is a wooden sign about one person high inserted outside the dilapidated house, on which three big characters are engraved.

"Happy Valley".

The font is neat, the carving is profound, and it is done with one stroke, which can be imagined that the internal strength of the person who writes and engraves these three words is high.

While seeing this house, Wei Zigeng felt a little, as if he had returned to the dilapidated temple outside Yuzhou City.

Outside the Dragon King Temple, next to Songjun Lake, under the old willow tree, a former friend, and now a tomb, Wei Zigeng couldn't help patting the long sword behind him, and smiled helplessly.

Xu Yue looked back and saw Wei Zigeng stopped, but he smiled awkwardly and said, "Don't dislike it", while his brother Xu Yin had a lot of ideas.

"It's already a river and lake detention trip, how can I say that I dislike it, but how can I say that this Happy Valley comes from? I don't know who left it? ”

"Oh, the word is the title of Xu Yin, I carved it, I thought that although I waited for the flow of the micro-end, life was in a hurry for only a hundred years, and the world was big but not as happy, so it was Happy Valley."

Wei Zigeng nodded thoughtfully, and after speaking, under the leadership of the two, he entered the dilapidated tile house, there was a pile of weeds in the corner of the house, and a straw mat was spread on it, and there was an old man who was skinny, and he was lying on it with his eyes crossed and his legs crossed, and he was smoking a dry cigarette leisurely.

"Old man Xu, see what we have brought you?"

Hearing Xu Yue's words, Old Man Xu didn't open his eyes, still crossed Erlang's legs, and his voice was slightly hoarse:

"You don't beg for food, you can't even taste a little salt, and a bird comes out of your mouth."

There are many beggars in Yuezhou City who look down on these two beggars whose hearts are higher than the sky, obviously they are already beggars, and they boast that the gentleman does not eat the food that comes from him.

Especially among them, Xu Yue is a well-known hard bone within a radius of ten miles, but whenever he hears someone talking about his younger brother Xu Yin, he must not be able to eat and walk around, even if he can't beat that person, he doesn't forget to say a word like "Oops, he was beaten by an unfilial son again", and after a few times, he didn't bother to see him in general.

Xu Yue believes that his younger brother is a scholar, and since he is a scholar, he must have the character of a scholar, so this kind of insulting thing is done by him, the elder brother.

At this time, a burst of meaty and wine aroma slowly emanated, Old Man Xu sniffed his nose and couldn't help but open his eyes, thought for a moment before getting up, picked up the fan next to him and went towards Xu Yue.

"Stinky boy, let you steal, let you steal food! Let you steal wine and drink! We are beggars, but we would rather starve to death than steal! ”

Xu Yue hurriedly covered his head and said: "It's good for the dog to bite Lu Dongbin, I don't know the hearts of good people, don't fight, don't fight, this brother specially invited us to eat, don't fight, don't fight." ”

They are very poor, they are very poor, they are ridiculously poor, but Xu Yue always disagrees, he thinks that they should not be poor, and even should be rich in the world.

Later, he summed up two points, the first point is that they refuse to beg, and the second point is that Old Man Xu has no money.

Wei Xian and Xu Yin on the side also hurriedly stepped forward to grab the old man Xu, and after the mood stabilized, the old man noticed the strange young man who came back with them.

Looking at Xu Yue and then at the other two, Old Man Xu said with a little doubt:

"Really?"

"The younger generation and Brother Xu met outside the city, and they were very close to each other, if it weren't for Brother Xu today, I was afraid that the younger generation would take many detours today, so I prepared a little wine to express my feelings."

Old man Xu saw that the young man had a thorough manner, and he actually straightened up, hugged his fists and smiled in return:

"I think it's the little old man who is snubbing the young man."

Seeing the old beggar like this, Xu Yue on the side really couldn't stand it, put down the wine and meat in his hand and said:

"Old man Xu, when did you become as Wen Zou Zou as Xu Yin."

Hearing Xu Yue dismantle the stage like this, the old beggar gave him a blank look, and no longer pretentious, picked up the wine and meat on the ground and put it in his mouth.

"Hmph, the first time you meet this young man, you can't learn Xu Yin Siwen a little, people don't owe you anything."

When Wei Zigeng heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said:

"Brother Xu has a straightforward temperament, and he also smells like the younger generation, so there is no need to be like this."

Old man Xu took out four bowls from Jean, opened the wine jar and poured four bowls and sent them to several people, the meat in his mouth had not yet been swallowed, and he said vaguely:

"I think the young man is also an informal person, and the little old man respects this young man with a cup."

After finishing speaking, Wei Zigeng quickly picked up the wine bowl and drank it all when he saw this, which was extremely refreshing.

Xu Yin on the side also picked up the wine bowl and drank it all, but he had a lot of good feelings for Wei Zigeng, not that he was mean, but they had been too bitter over the years, and they had suffered a lot. His brother who has a big nerve can not care, so he has a little bit of an eye for anyone.

A few people said a word, and a jar of wine quickly bottomed out.

There are few thousand cups of wine for a confidant, and drinking alone is sad after all.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors. Wei Zigeng took off the wine jug and poured wine for the three of them. Xu Yue's face was slightly drunk at this time, and he remembered that this wine gourd actually contained five jars of wine during the day, and his interest came.

"Brother Wei, what is the origin of your wine gourd, but it is five altars

Pretend to be dissatisfied with the wine? ”

Wei Zigeng sent the gourd to him and said:

"This gourd is called a water-covered hyacinth, which is a square inch thing, but it is not too big, and it can only be used to store items, which is the lowest square inch thing."

Xu Yue played with the delicate little gourd in his hand, oh, threw it to Wei Zigeng, and finally muttered.

"It would be nice if I also had a square inch, a little more space, and it would be better if I could collect the wind and thunder."

Wei Zigeng laughed, noncommittal.

The night was as quiet as water, Xu Yue and Old Man Xu had fallen asleep, and Wei Zigeng put his hands under the back of his head and looked at the starry sky above his head. Turning his head to look, Xu Yin outside the door wrote something in the moonlight with a branch.

He stood up quietly and came behind Xu Yin, the moonlight was blocked, and the young beggar raised his head and looked squarely at the words written on the branches on the ground.

Wei Zigeng was quite shocked, the font was natural, vigorous and powerful, and every stroke exploded in his heart like a thunderbolt on a sunny day.

"Those who are happy with the people, the people are also happy; Those who are worried about the people, the people are also worried. ”

Looking at the words on the ground, Wei Zigeng said:

"Brother Xu is a good word, and he will definitely have a bright future in the future!"

Xu Yin was slightly embarrassed, and then sighed.

"Why is Brother Xu sighing?"

Xu Yin said: "What about a good handwriting? I didn't even have the qualifications to go to college. You are not me, you don't understand what it feels like to be beaten with crutches every day when I go to the academy every day, I also want to study, he uses his own talents to let Old Man Xu and my brother sit on the wine table openly, drink a pot of wine, and eat a meal of meat, but unfortunately no one gave me this opportunity! ”

The young beggar wiped the handwriting from the ground, his eyes full of resentment, and then stood up and returned to the ruined temple.

Wei Zigeng stopped beside him for a long time and didn't say a word.

Empathy? Where there will be any empathy.

If you haven't felt it, you won't empathize.
