Li Bufan stood in place, his eyes were full of confusion, looking at everything in front of him, the silver coins and strange strange stones scattered on the ground.

He didn't know what he was thinking. I still had everything in my mind and the woman's invitation before leaving.

I didn't figure out the situation for a while, so I couldn't choose.

The emotions in my heart are very intertwined, on one side is the dream of becoming an immortal that everyone wants, and on the other hand, it is a friend who gets along day and night.

No matter which one it is, Li Bufan can't give it up, and it is precisely because of this that he is in a dilemma.

At this time, he was standing at a fork in the road in his life, but he didn't give him half a minute to wait, he knew that every step he took now would determine the final outcome of his life, and his choice was also coming to an end.

He picked up the things scattered on the ground, and though he held the heavy silver in his hand, he was not at all happy, and remembered what the woman had just said, and hid them again.

Li Bufan returned home, hid the silver and the token in an alley, and then squatted on the bed, not saying a word, just thinking about how to choose.

After a while, there was a sudden sound of footsteps, and then a man walked in.

"Bu Fan, why did you come so early today?"

As soon as the visitor saw Li Bufan, he asked.

"I didn't ...... Nothing, just a little uncomfortable. ”

Li Bufan saw Yang Ze coming back, and said listlessly. He didn't dare to tell the truth, for fear that the woman would kill them like the two men, and he knew that the two of them were no better than the immortals, and would only die faster than them.

Yang Ze's face was full of worry after hearing this.

"What? What's uncomfortable? Is it a headache or a stomach? They all asked you to cover more quilts last night, but you just didn't listen, and now it's okay. ”

"It's okay, it'll be good soon to take a break."

"What's okay, you really think you're a living immortal, who will be responsible if you have any serious illness?"

Yang Ze said impatiently to Li Bufan, although his tone was bad, Li Bufan knew that he was worried about himself.

"It's really okay, I'll lie in bed for a while, and I'll call you when I have something."

Seeing that Li Bufan insisted again and again, Yang Ze had no choice but to give up, but he still told him that if there was something, he must call him, and no matter how bad it was, he would go to the hospital to see a doctor, which would cost him some money.

Li Bufan slowly got up and lay on the bed, Yang Ze boiled water in the pot outside the house, and soon brought in a bowl of hot water for Li Bufan to drink.

Then he went out and made the wild vegetable soup that he had been accustomed to for a long time.

Li Bufan on the bed looked at Yang Ze's busy figure, smelled the aroma of the wild vegetables, and couldn't help but think of the day he first arrived in Surabaya, this brother, who was two years older than himself, also made this for him to eat.

The life of the past few years is reproduced in front of me, although it is not comfortable, it is still happy, and there are times when it is hungry, but at this time the two will always compete to see who says hungry first, and in the end he always loses.

Yang Ze, who was mistaken for a bad guy at the first time many years ago, has now become a friend who is better than his relatives.

"Yang Ze, if I want to go to a far away place, I may not be able to see you for a long time, do you agree?"

Li Bufan pretended to be unintentional and asked.

"What did you say?"

Yang Ze came in from outside the house, and he didn't hear a word of what Li Bufan said just now.

"I said, I'm going to a far away place, and I may not see you for a long time, will you agree?"

Li Bufan raised his voice.

"Why are you suspicious and talking nonsense?" Yang Ze looked suspicious.

"You don't care so much, just say you don't agree."

"Do you want to go there yourself?"

"Of course, that's where I want to go."

"Then go, why don't I agree."

"But it's been a long time since we've seen each other, won't you be reluctant?"

"Why are you reluctant, since you want to go to me to stop you, besides, we will be separated sooner or later, you don't want to be a beggar here all the time, even if you want to, I don't want to, but I want to marry Aunt Shifang's wife, and I can't take you with me every day." In Mr. Hu's words, 'there is no banquet in the world that will never be dissolved'. ”

Yang Ze lowered his voice, pretending to stroke his beard with one hand, learning from Hu Liangchun's appearance.

Yang Ze's words made Li Bufan's eyes suddenly have a glimmer of light, yes, there is no banquet in the world, they all have different ideals, and they will eventually go to different paths, they share the past, but each has a future, and his path just appeared earlier than Yang Ze's road.

He smiled indifferently and looked at Yang Ze's funny face again, already having the answer in his heart.

In the afternoon, Li Bufan walked on the road to the street for the last time, shouting loudly for an afternoon, although he didn't make much, but he was already content, he returned to the original place, trying to recall the expressions of the two at that time.

The afterglow of the setting sun finally dissipated, and the darkness of the night invaded all around.

Li Bufan didn't sleep all night, turned his head to look at Yang Ze who was sleeping beside him, and wanted to slow down this last night.

But time is like a robber, unwilling to leave him with a single thought.

The rooster crow in the early morning sounded again, shattering Li Bufan's last dream.

Yang Ze got up one step ahead of him, bought a meat bun for Li Bufan, and went out to beg, Li Bufan took the bun, looked at Yang Ze's busy figure, and wanted to say goodbye one last time, but he couldn't say anything.

But he was also afraid that if he really left in person, he would not be able to leave, and he wanted to leave this life and become what he dreamed of.

He took out what was hidden in the crack in the wall, then bought some treasures, wrote two letters with his own hand, and it took him nearly two hours to write, and he put one of them on the table, and left a silver ingot to cover it with the broken bowl, lest anyone should see it.

He took what the woman had given him, and then walked out the door, without any nostalgia.

He came to the door of Hu Liangchun's house, sandwiched another letter between the cracks in the door, and bowed as he went.

The noise on the road gradually dissipated, which meant that Li Bufan was about to leave the range of Surabaya, holding back tears along the way, unwilling to fall, but still looked back at his second hometown.

However, after that, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the parting at this time was for a better reunion, and he took the footprint of becoming an immortal.

Yang Ze returned home and shouted Li Bufan's name, but there was no response.

"Where's this kid?"

I was confused for a while, I just thought I had gone out and hadn't come back.

Sitting on a stool, shaking his clothes and fanning the wind, he accidentally saw the letter on the table, and his face was full of surprise.

"Where did this come from?" Yang Ze muttered to himself.

I opened it casually and saw that the handwriting in the letter was not beautiful, but it was also neat, Yang Ze read it, and just saw the beginning, he couldn't help laughing: "This Li Bufan, do all these things that you don't have." ”

But later, his expression became solemn and his mood became restless.

To my beloved friends –

The feeling of parting from friends really makes my heart linger with emotion. I have been with you for a long time, and now I will leave, which really makes me feel painful, but the world is impermanent, and there will be a farewell, only looking forward to meeting again in the future, climbing high and extending the enterprise.

Looking back on the past, it is as vague as yesterday

......

The cold wind and bitter rain, please cherish yourself.

Bufan

Don't read it

Yang Ze didn't say anything, opened the broken bowl, saw the nearly fifty taels of silver underneath, and suddenly understood what Li Bufan said yesterday, and knew that he was not joking with him this time.

Turning and running in the direction of the post road, he ignored the silver on the table.

There was no look on his face, he just wanted to hurry up now, begging God to let him see Li Bufan for the last time, although he knew that he couldn't catch up, but he still ran desperately.

Yang Ze ran to the post entrance, but he didn't see half a figure, he couldn't hold back anymore, and his tears couldn't stop flowing.

He roared loudly into the distance

"Have a safe journey! Remember to help me see, the Yuqiongguan in my dreams! ”

This sentence seemed to exhaust all his strength, and he could only squat on the ground to hide his face and cry bitterly.

"Li Bufan, you bastard!"

Yang Ze couldn't cry for a long time, so he could only whisper this sentence in the end.

"Boy Yang, don't cry."

A familiar voice came from behind him, Yang Ze looked up, it was Hu Liangchun, and he was still holding a letter in his hand that was packaged like Yang Ze, obviously Hu Liangchun also knew about Li Bufan's departure.

"Mr. Hu, Bufan, he's gone."

"I know, this kid too, I don't know how to say hello in advance, I want the old man to come here in person."

"But don't be sad, his trip is a destiny for the future, and we will eventually part. You just need to remember that the lonely wind will stop, the banquet has been dispersed, you can't keep it, you don't need to force it to stay, there is a reason for life to gather and disperse, if it is necessary to go to the front, you don't have to be in love with your children, just go on the road in style. We just hope that he will not be covered by cold clouds. ”

Hu Liangchun patted Yang Ze on the shoulder and said meaningfully, but soon seemed indifferent

"Let's go, today's private school is going to open a new class."

He stroked his beard and turned to leave.

Yang Ze followed closely behind, wiping away tears.

Soon, the post mouth returned to its original silence.
