Shen Ling's shirt was sick and sick, his body was weak, and he only traveled for three or four hours a day, and the Shu Road was difficult to walk since ancient times, and this road was like a snail's step, Bai Yixue was anxious, but he was also helpless.

On this day, I came to Wenchong Town in Quzhou. It was still early, and Bai Yixue saw that Shen Lingshan was very tired, so he found an inn in the town to stay. At dinner, there were not many customers in the restaurant, except for Shen and Bai, only three or four scribes wearing scarves sat at one table, drinking wine and discussing the current situation.

Bai Yixue listened to the extraordinary conversation of those people, so she listened carefully. Those people first scolded the Jin people for being capricious inside and outside the tomb, and then talked about the loyal ministers of the imperial court, and talked about the loyalty and perseverance of Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, and talked about Wu Jue and Wu Ling's brothers who guarded Sichuan, as well as Wu Gong and Wu Ting, Wu Ting and others. The scribes were gossiping and praised their Wu family for their loyalty to the country and outstanding military achievements. One of them said: "The Jin people have four chiefs: cavalry, perseverance, heavy armor, and bows. And my Great Song Dynasty has Wu Jue and Wu Xuan, which is enough to royal it. The rest of the people laughed and raised their glasses to drink.

Bai Yixue listened, and couldn't help but be fascinated by the Wu brothers: "Master also mentioned Wu Jue and Wu Ling, saying that the two of them are simple and love the people, brave and good at fighting, and are rare auxiliary generals in the Great Song Dynasty. Shen Lingshan ate a little vegetarian food and a small bite of rice, tired and tired, and went back to the room to rest. The group of scribes talked loudly, and Bai Yixue listened to it with relish, called to the shopkeeper, asked for a bowl of pork, a small plate of salt and soy sauce, and a jar of wine, and poured himself a drink.

The scribes poured the blocks, and the prosperity was flying. One person raised his wine glass and said loudly: "The gnats in Jiangshui Township are very evil, and they live in poverty, and they are bitter every day. The ancient sages did not praise them in a word, but they were also punishable. As a mosquito fu. The voice was subdued, and the rest of the people applauded in unison. The middle-aged scribe continued:

His words said: But Zhu Ming's order is in order, and the era of Baizang is in the past. The fire is golden and the square is blazing, and the dew is jade and easy to see. It is from the east, from the salty pond to the west. Mai Kuang took a stumbling rein, and returned to the sun and hid the light. The sufficiency of the yin is sufficient, and the rope of the night air is attacked. There are millet people, out of Luhuo, calling friends to attract them, and the thunder and chariot are industrious, filling in the blanks and covering the wilderness, and doubting the desert of the cloud array...... Drink too much to fill your stomach, and your sex is ungluttonous and wanton. If it is the pavilion of the bright spirit, the joy of ten thousand trees, the persistence of mourning the eternal day, and the green shade with pleasantness. Seeing the invasion and slightly, he revisited the camp lightly...... Benevolence is not enough to strengthen the name, and wisdom is not enough to deceive oneself, and the vain love is gluttonous, competing with the drum and kissing and devouring. It is advisable to sigh forever before the sage, and it is said that the night is not sleepy. Stupidity is unknown, and it is also cold and unrighteous...... Gai tasted the genealogy of the Turks, examined the classics, and the remnants of the real Chi You, and the punishment of the first Zhuolu. Only the remnants of skin and blood remain, causing the kind of nourishment. Or other factions are rotten, or they gather in the dampness, but they can travel at night, and rarely enter through the door. Suddenly on the gimbal, and the wings are fluttering. He was reckless in Hanoi, and he was a native of Centaurs. But it is not like a Chinese man, it is really a poisonous sting, and it is appropriate to see and hate the world, and the husband is in the present and the past...... Forever destroy the descendants of Chiyou, so that the world can be a minister of the people, so that the king of the king, and the great comfort of the diligent will, and so that the world can be the son of the man can be peaceful. No more useless things, infinite poison, exist in the world. The reason why this mosquito is also famous. ”

He sang all the way, and the rest of the people applauded from time to time. Bai Yixue didn't understand what she heard, so she couldn't help but get up and walk over, make a gesture, and asked, "Please forgive the boy's stupidity, dare to ask sir, who made this endowment?"

The scribe was drunk, stopped and squinted, "The little official is from out of town, right?"

Bai Yixue said: "Yes." ”

A gray-bearded scribe next to him laughed, "That's it." The person who made this endowment was very famous, surnamed Yu, named Yunwen, and the word Binfu, and was once the local governor. "Baiyi Xue" said "oh", and asked in detail the meaning of this "Mosquito Fu". The white-bearded scribe read poetry and books, and was full of self-conceit, and when he saw someone humbly asking for advice, he was extremely proud, and immediately took the trouble to explain it in detail: This article is Yu Yunwen's gnats poisoning the world, and Yu Jinren "can't drink enough to be full, and they are unsadding", "reckless in Hanoi", advocating the elimination of evil, "no more useless things, infinite poison, exist in the world", and never suffer in the future, etc.

Bai Yixue listened to his detailed explanation, suddenly realized, and couldn't help but be amazed, and praised this Yu Yunwen: "Miaowen! Happy! Dare to ask where this Yu Gong is today? I don't know if I can meet Yu Gong's respectful face?"

The middle-aged scribe who chanted Wenfu said: "Ouch, this is not a coincidence, Duke Yu is no longer in Sichuan. Bai Yixue showed a look of regret on her face. The middle-aged scribe who chanted Wenfu said again: "Little brother, Duke Yu is six feet four inches long, has a majestic appearance, rarely has the ambition to step into the moon and climb the clouds, and is very honest after becoming an official. It's a pity that the treacherous minister Qin Hui was in power, loyal and good, and Duke Yu first sentenced Pengzhou, and then knew Lizhou and Quzhou, all of which were barren and remote towns, and were repeatedly not reused. ”

The white-bearded scribe said, "You can't say that. The official is not big or small, as long as he can be diligent and slack, and treat the people well, even if the official position is small, it is also a good official who benefits the locality, if there is only a boss in his eyes, he only knows how to blindly meet the boss, and oppresses the people everywhere, that is a bad official, the higher the position, the greater the disaster. The crowd listened and nodded their heads frequently.

The middle-aged scribe who chanted Wenfu arched his hand and said, "I have been taught." Duke Yu served as the governor of Quzhou, and the local land was barren, but there were a lot of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the common people lived a very poor life. Duke Yu felt sorry for the people, went to the imperial court, reduced part of the taxes, and was a great good official, and the local people all praised him. The crowd even claimed yes. The middle-aged scribe who chanted Wenfu continued: "Duke Yu is an official in one place, and he has a reputation for governance, and his fame has crossed Bashan Shushui, and he has long been in the emperor's heart. After Qin Hui's death, when he was full of rank in Quzhou, the official family was awarded the post of secretary and went to Lin'an. In recent years, I heard that Yu Gong has been repeatedly promoted, and he has been tired of being an official in the Ministry of Rites and a scholar in the middle school. ”

Another scribe said with a smile: "When the official family did not inherit the unification, he was once the Duke of Shu, and Sichuan was still his hidden domain." Qin Hui was quite jealous of the Sichuan people during his lifetime, and now that the traitor is dead, we Sichuan people finally have a bright future. ”

The white-bearded scribe snorted slightly, glanced at him, and said: "Duke Yu is an official, corrupt and punishes evil, and is widely loved by the common people. When he left Quzhou, the people were reluctant to let him go, but he couldn't do it if he was not reluctant, a talented and far-sighted person like Yu Gong should get the important responsibility of the official family and make more contributions to the imperial court. ”

Bai Yixue said: "Yes." In the cone of the sac, its edge will be revealed. ”

The white-bearded scribe was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "'Dapeng rises with the wind one day and soars up to 90,000 miles. 'Yu Gong will definitely be famous all over the world in the future. He was invited to sit down and drink. Everyone washed and drank more, and the interest was quite high, and the wine was drunk until the second watch was dispersed. Bai Yixue settled the wine account together and said goodbye to them one by one.

Although the Shu Road is steep and difficult to walk, Bai Yixue thought that she was going east and west this time, and she didn't know when she would be able to recover her master's life, she was anxious, and she tried to rush as much as possible every day. Day by day, although it is tired, fortunately, it is gradually closer to Tangjiabao.

On this day, Bai Yixue was greedy to hurry, missed the sharp market town, and the carriage and horses traveled to a wilderness, the sky was already dark, and the road was blurry and difficult to distinguish. Seeing that the car was sluggish and annoying, he blamed himself: "Bai Yi Xue, Bai Yi Xue, you are so reckless, if you have nowhere to stay, you will have to travel overnight tonight, Miss Shen is delicate, how can she bear it?" Just when he felt sorry for himself, he raised his eyes and saw a rare temple in the mountains in front of him, and he felt refreshed, and thought: "I can't say that I will spend the night here tonight." ”

The carriage and horses are close, and it is a temple. When I came to the temple, the temple door was empty, and the walls were ruined everywhere, almost collapsing, showing that there was no incense for a long time. The white-clothed snow fell, and when he looked up, he saw that the plaque on the temple door had the words "Zhongwu Hou Temple" written on it, which was eroded by wind and frost, and the handwriting was mottled and illegible, and he said: "It turned out to be the ancestral temple to commemorate Zhuge Kongming." ”

He looked at the four words "Zhongwu Hou Temple" on the plaque, and thought: "'The lord of the Wolong Empty Mansion in the lower country, the Central Plains is not up to anyone. 'Zhuge Kongming Kuang Shi supported the lord, and in order to recover the Central Plains, he attacked Wei five times, and he didn't want to die before he left the school, and his ambition was difficult to pay. Now how difficult it is for the Song Dynasty to move, and the Central Plains has been isolated for a long time, and it is still unknown who will be able to recover the Central Plains. "I came into the temple, but I saw that the courtyard was overgrown with weeds, the temple was dusty, the cobwebs were vertical and horizontal, and the Zhuge Kongming statue behind the incense case was infested with beetles, and it was incomplete.

Zhuge Kongming was the prime minister of Shu Han during his lifetime, and was loyal to the Marquis of Wu after his death. He is deeply loved by the Han people and ethnic minorities in Shu, soon after his death in the Shu Han region, the rise of "the people's lane sacrifice, Rong Yi Ye worship" wind, and since the Shu Hou Lord Liu Chan for Zhuge Kongming in the Wuhou Temple in Chuyang, between the Shushui of Bashan, the buildings to commemorate Zhuge Liang can be seen everywhere, especially from the Sui and Tang dynasties to the Song Dynasty, the temples and shrines of Zhuge Liang in this area are dotted, it can be seen that the Wuhou is very deeply loved. However, the Song and Jin wars for many years, famine is recommended, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Jianghuai region as the main battlefield of the Song and Jin wars, is the war of the Song and Jin Dynasty, but also after repeated wars, the local bandits are very rampant, so that the market is scarce, the people's livelihood is withered, many temples and incense are declining, and finally dilapidated and collapsed.

Bai Yixue stared at the statue of Zhuge Liang, and sighed in her heart: "Du Zimei's poem "Wuhou Temple", 'The relics of the temple are green and green, and the grass and trees in the empty mountains are long. I still heard that I would resign from the Lord and no longer lie in Nanyang. 'Zhuge Kongming is slightly unborn, since he was invited out of Wollongong by Liu Xuande, he took the revival of the Han dynasty as his own responsibility all his life, and did his best, but unfortunately he was exhausted later, and he died in the army of the Northern Expedition of Shu State, and the great cause was unfinished, and he was still unwilling. Now that Nanyang Caolu is here, he can no longer plow and lie down, but has to sleep in a foreign land. Now the temple of Zhongwu Hou has been almost annihilated by the barren grass, only the ruins of the broken monument remain, Zhuge Kongming's loyal soul is a ray of the sun and the moon, and now there is nowhere to hang! It is really a pity. He bowed a few times to the statue of Zhuge Kongming, turned around and walked out of the broken temple, came to the carriage, and asked, "Miss Shen, it's all because I was in a hurry and missed the accommodation." We're going to spend the night in this temple tonight, and we're going back tomorrow, okay?"

Shen Lingshan knew that he was greedy to hurry, and he missed the sharp, although it was inconvenient for a lonely man and a widow to live together, it was not easy to refuse him, plus he was very tired after a long bump in the day, thought for a moment, and said in a low voice: "It's okay." ”

Bai Yixue apologized in her heart, cleaned a corner of the hall, took the satin mat and bedding from the carriage, and then invited Shen Ling's shirt in.

The two of them hastily ate some dry food, and Shen Ling's shirt was already sleepy, so he lay down on the mattress and his clothes, and soon fell asleep. Seeing that she was asleep, Bai Yixue came to another corner of the hall with her feet soft, sat down cross-legged on her legs, and practiced until the night was quiet.

In the middle of the night, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves outside the temple, and night walkers arrived. Bai Yixue felt a pang in his heart: "Visiting at night, could it be a wandering bandit in the countryside?" Thinking of this, he straightened up, stood up, picked up his long sword, came to Shen Lingshan's side, looked up and looked out the window, but saw that the frost moon was empty, a blue sky, and Shen Lingshan beside him was snorting evenly and sleeping soundly.

The sound of horses' hooves approached, and when they came to the temple gate, they stopped. Bai Yixue heard that there were two horses, and thought to herself: "Fortunately, there are not many people here, if they want to kill for money and disturb Miss Shen, they must not be merciful for a while." ”

The neighing of horses outside the temple gate woke Shen Lingshan, and she almost screamed. In the darkness, the white-clothed Xue was faintly able to hold his breath, and he was bending down and squatting in front of him, holding a black sheath long sword in his right hand, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Bai Yixue stretched out her index finger, pressed her lips, and whispered, "Someone is coming." "After a long time, no one came into the temple. The two of them were surprised when they heard the voice of a young girl outside the temple whispering, "Cousin...... Cousin...... You...... Don't do this. His voice was slurred, and his voice trembled slightly.

A young man's voice laughed and said, "What should I do?" The voices of the two were not high, but in the middle of the night, there was silence in the wild temple, but it was very clear to hear. Immediately after that, there was a rapid gasp of the two, and the girl seemed to be powerless to refuse, gasping again and again, and occasionally screaming softly, thinking that she had been touched by the young man, and the young man seemed even more difficult to control, and the wheezing sound was particularly heavy in the quiet night.

Shen Lingshan couldn't help but feel embarrassed, only to feel that his heart was pounding, and his originally pale face was already red to the root of his ears. She glanced at the stars and saw Bai Yixue squatting motionless in front of her, staring out the window with all her eyes, unable to see his expression, fortunately in the dark, even if he turned around, it was difficult to see his embarrassment. After a while, the wheezing gradually stopped, and the two people outside the temple finally regained their calm after grinding their ears and temples and lingering with compassion.

But I heard the girl's faint voice say, "Cousin, you and I said goodbye in a hurry last time, and it's ...... today It's been sixty-seven days....... ”

The young man let out an "ah", his voice was full of surprise, he was silent for a moment, and said softly: "Sister Chu, you...... You ......" His voice trembled slightly, thinking that Chu Mei remembered the days when the two of them were separated so clearly, these days, she must have lived like a year, and her heart was extremely tormented, and she couldn't help but be greatly moved, and she couldn't help herself for a while.

The girl whispered dreamily, "'I don't know that my soul is broken, but there is a dream with me. No one knows except the moon in the sky!' cousin, these days, I have been looking at the moon in the sky every night, silently counting the days in my heart. You have been gone for so long this time, and I know that my thoughts are so torturous and so sweet. Cousin, you ...... Have you ever ...... these days? Miss me?" in the end, the voice was almost inaudible, but in the quiet night, it was heart-warming, and there was a deep affection and honey in it, so thick that it could not be dissolved.

Although Shen Lingshan in the broken temple had never experienced the love of men and women, he was very surprised when he heard this obsessive and sympathetic words, and he didn't feel that his heart hit a deer, and he thought: "It turns out that two people love each other, it is so moving. It is recorded in the "Theory of Health" that 'Hehuan is angry, and Daylilies forget their worries', which means that Hehuan can make people eliminate depression and anger, and daylilies can dispel worries, but what the literati wrote, I don't know if it is true or false?" Tonight, it seems that the love is tiring, and it is like this. I...... If you encounter ...... in the future? The person who loves each other, but has to be separated from him for a long time, even if I have traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers, and endured countless hardships, I also have to find the daylily to relieve the endless pain of lovesickness. She was thinking about it for a while, but when she saw the white clothes in front of her, she was holding her breath and concentrating, not moving at all, and carefully observing the movements of the two outside the temple.

The man said softly: "Sister Chu, I went out on an errand this time, but I never thought that I would delay these days. You know, these days, I've been thinking about you all the time, as long as I close my eyes, my mind is full of your shadow. His voice was loud, as if he were swearing to the girl.

Hearing him say this, the girl said angrily: "Shh, you can speak softly and talk these nonsense words, and ...... Aren't you afraid that others will hear it?" Thinking of this, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "Then if you don't close your eyes, won't you miss me?"

The man was speechless for a while, and said with a smile: "Where to speak, open your eyes, and your pretty face will naturally be in front of you." ”

The mountain is lonely, and it is lonely and cold in January. The girl looked at the cold moon in the sky, sighed softly, and muttered: "Cousin, I look at the moon in the sky every night, and I think, this moon, both according to you and me, then I look at the moon, that is, I look at you, and my heart ...... I don't feel so bitter anymore. ”

The man was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Silly girl." He listened to his sweetheart's idiotic words, and couldn't help but hold her tightly in his arms, and the two of them were so hot that their hearts were stirring. After a long time, the man said: "Sister Chu, the mountain wind at night invades people, you are weak, let's go into this temple and avoid the wind, okay?" Bai and Shen were shocked when they heard this, and Bai Yixue secretly thought: "If it is a wandering bandit, it will be sent away directly after a while, but look at the situation of these two people, most of them are a couple who eloped from nearby people, if they want to come in and save themselves, how can this be good?" Let's just sit down here and talk. ”

The man didn't want to disagree with her, and smiled, "Okay, I'll go and get some things to cushion my body." ”
