The little boy saw that the little girl was crying very much, and was afraid that she would be in trouble and cry again, and his body would not be able to bear it, so he squatted down and comforted him in a low voice: "People cannot be resurrected after death, and my sister will mourn on Day." The little girl cried even more. The middle-aged man said to the little boy: "Young master, don't worry, she is bitter in her heart, it's okay to cry." The little boy nodded, and no longer persuaded him, but sat quietly beside the little girl. The sky gradually darkened, and I don't know how long it took, but Haoyue had reached Zhongtian. The little girl had already fallen asleep after a long day of sad and exhausted spirits. The little boy had also fallen into a deep sleep, but the middle-aged man was half-leaning against the wall, holding the short knife, his eyes half-closed and half-open, not knowing whether he was asleep or awake.

The next day, as soon as Dongfang showed the whiteness of the fish's belly, the middle-aged man had already gotten up and sat on a bench. It turned out that he had hardly slept all night the previous night, and went to dig a pit under the back wall of the tavern, and wrapped the old man in sackcloth, and buried him under the earthen wall. Soon after the busy work, the sky was gradually brightening, and the middle-aged man simply stopped sleeping and sat on the stool to rest. After a while, the sky was already white, and the middle-aged man called the little boy softly. Then the middle-aged man turned around and went to the back kitchen to fetch a basin of cold water and asked the little boy to wash up. But the little boy did not wash, but got up and walked gently to the little girl, and was about to wake her up, when the words suddenly stopped. He crouched down beside her and looked at her closely. The little girl had a beautiful appearance, under a pair of willow eyebrows, two rows of long eyelashes, and there was an indescribable tenderness at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, and the little boy was stunned. Then the little girl woke up, opened her eyes, and suddenly saw a boy crouching beside her, looking at her stupidly. She subconsciously let out an "ah", hurriedly sat up, straightened her clothes, and then came to her senses. The little boy saw that he was abrupt and hurriedly said, "Don't get me wrong, I just want to get you up." Look, it's already dawning," he said, turning around and walking to the back kitchen. When the little girl saw him walk away, she remembered the scene when he looked at her stupidly, and her cheeks couldn't help but flutter, and she hurriedly turned her face away, and said in her heart: "Damn it, damn it."

The little boy brought some food from the back kitchen, and when the little girl had finished washing, the little boy and the middle-aged man also washed up, and the three of them sat around a table and prepared to eat. The middle-aged man told the little girl about the burial last night, and the little girl was busy saying, "Thank you, uncle, my filial piety", and her eyes began to reddened slightly. The middle-aged man said, "Miss Yuwen, you don't have to be polite. Since the young master of my family recognizes you as a sister, you will be my young lady in the future. What happened last night is not enough to worry about." The little girl was stunned for a moment, and said, "Who is your young lady, besides, how do you know my name?" The middle-aged man told the old man how he asked the little boy before he died yesterday, what the little girl's life experience was, and how the little boy promised the old man.

The little girl had been there yesterday, but she was so heartbroken that she had never heard their conversation. And what the old man later told the little girl about the enemy's family, because the voice was very low at that time, only the little girl heard it, and the little boy and the middle-aged man did not know.

At this time, I heard the middle-aged man talk about the relationship with the old man yesterday, and the little girl understood. It's just that the girl's mind is shy, and it is inconvenient to recognize each other, so she just keeps silent. Seeing this, the middle-aged man knew three points in his heart, and said with a smile: "Young master, since Miss Yuwen doesn't speak, it means that she agrees." Then we should also reveal our identities to others." The little boy smiled and said, "Yes, yes, otherwise you would have to wait for someone to ask." After finishing speaking, he saluted the little girl and said, "My surname is Zhang, and my single name is a Min character." This is my fourth uncle, nicknamed Kuaidao Liu. I'm ashamed to say that I have not known this fourth uncle Liu for the first time." Yu Wendi was puzzled and said, "Aren't you two masters and apprentices? I was originally an employee of the young master's family, and on a rainy night ten years ago, the young master's family suddenly suffered an accident, and the enemy family killed more than 70 people in the young master's family. Fortunately, an old servant hid the young master in a dry well, so he escaped with his life. After the enemy left, the old servant rescued the young master and fled from the city overnight. Later, the old servant escorted the young master to Zhongzhou. One day when they came to a village, an old man saw that the old servant and the young master were pitiful, so he gave them bowls of rice. The old servant was dying because he had fled long distances with the young master on his back, and he knew that his life would not be long in coming. Before he died, the old servant begged the old man to take in the young master, and took out half a piece of jade from his clothes and handed it to the old man, and he was angry. The old man was originally a Zhuang family, and there were no heirs under his knees, so he took the young master home to raise, the old man's surname was Zhang, because of the pity for the child's loneliness, he named the young master Zhang Min. Back then, I went out on errands on the orders of my lord, and it was half a month after I returned home, so as to avoid bad luck. In grief and indignation, I asked around who the enemy was, but I accidentally heard that the young master had escaped, but I didn't know where he was going. I made up my mind and vowed to get the young master back. Since then, I have wandered all over the world, searching for the world. After ten years of hard searching, I finally found the young master who was living in the people in Xiangyang three months ago. Coincidentally, if I hadn't seen the half of the jade tied around the young master's neck, I might still be looking around." Speaking of this, the middle-aged man's voice was a little choked, and his weather-beaten face seemed to tell the hardships of these years. The little boy said, "The fourth uncle has tried all kinds of hardships in order to find me. This grace and virtue are remembered by Zhang Min". When the middle-aged man heard this, he just wanted to say something, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed again. Yu Wendi said to Zhang Min: "Now I understand. You are outwardly called master and apprentice, but you are really the servants of the master. However, Fourth Uncle Liu's heart is like a rock in order to find the young master, and this brave loyalty is really rare." That Liu Si heard Yu Wendi's praise, although he was a middle-aged man who had experienced the world, his face was slightly red, and he was busy smiling.

After this long talk, the three of them didn't feel much closer. After eating, the three of them seemed to be old friends for many years, as if they had been reunited after a long absence. Speaking of the bright future, Zhang Min decided to take Yu Wendi to the north together. Yu Wendi knew that his grandfather had entrusted himself to Zhang Min before he died, and he had to follow Zhang Min in the future, so he didn't speak. The three of them discussed stopping, then packed their bags, went out of the tavern, buckled the door, and resolutely strode towards the north of the town.

After walking for half a day out of the north of the town, I came to a hill. After all, Yuwendi is weak, and after walking for half a day, the foot of the road has been faintly painful, and when he sees this hill, he secretly complains in his heart. Fortunately, the scenery of the hill is beautiful, among which the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and there are lush forests and meandering waters, which is a good place to escape the summer and play. The three of them hurried while enjoying the scenery, and they didn't realize that they had turned the hill. Now the sun was gradually moving westward, and when the three of them came down, the day was already close to the western mountain. The three of them walked further north for a while, and the sound of rushing water gradually came to their ears, and the three of them raised their eyes and saw a bamboo forest in front of them, and there was a faint house in the depths of the bamboo forest. After moving forward for a while, the sound of the water gradually became thick and powerful, and it turned out that the three of them had already come to the edge of the Yellow River. It's just that the bamboo forest in front of me is luxuriant, and I only hear its sound and don't see the water source.

The three of them had been on the road for a day, and they were already hungry in their stomachs, and when they saw the sun setting, they saw a family at this time, and they didn't feel refreshed. Yu Wendi said: "Fourth uncle, Brother Min, let's go in and have a look." Liu Si looked at Zhang Min, who was originally a person with a calm temperament, and he didn't want to bother others on weekdays. But it is not good to disobey Yu Wendi's intentions, and it is almost evening, so I have no choice but to make an exception, and the three of them walked towards the bamboo forest.

The bamboo forest is lush and workmanlike, and it is obvious that someone has repaired it all year round. There is a row of cobblestone paths between the bamboo forests, which can be described as winding paths. The three of them walked slowly along the path, walked twenty or thirty steps and turned a corner on the right-hand side, and when they turned the corner and looked forward again, a bamboo house appeared in front of them. The bamboo house is backed by bamboo on the water surface, and there is a half-human-high stone standing next to it, Yuwendi walked forward and saw that there were words engraved on the stone, saying: Water energy is light for my friend, and bamboo is my teacher. Looking at the bamboo house again, there are also couplets written on both sides of the door frame, and Yu Wendi smiled: "There must be a living Wolong here." You see, what is written on it." Zhang Min stepped forward to look, the upper link: non-indifferent and unambitious, and the lower link: non-tranquility and no far-reaching. Zhang Min has been calm and peaceful since he was a child, seeing that this couplet is in line with his own wishes, he secretly rejoices that this trip is not worthwhile, if he can meet people in the same way, talk freely, wouldn't it be a pleasure. Thinking of this, I wanted to come forward and knock on the door. Liu Si hurriedly said: "Young master and slow." This wilderness is uninhabited, and this bamboo house is here at ease, which seems to be strange. In addition, a few of us trespassed into the bamboo forest and came to the front of the house, but no one answered, and there must be a reason for this. Young master, retreat, wait for me to go in and find out." After saying that, Liu Si stepped forward quickly, walked to the door of the bamboo house, hugged his fist and saluted, and said loudly: "The mountain savages pass by the treasure land and want to beg for saliva to drink. bothered". After a while, no one answered. Liu Si cleared his throat slightly, and said aloud again: "Outsiders take the liberty to disturb, please make it convenient for your master." After another half an hour, there was still no answer. Liu Si looked at Zhang Min, intending to break in, but Zhang Min shook his head. At this time, Yu Wendi stepped forward, looked at the door for a long time, suddenly smiled, and said in a clear voice towards the door: "Fellow Jianghu is visiting, please open the door and see." After speaking, he could only hear a cough in the room, and after a while, the door slowly opened, and it was a middle-aged man, about forty or fifty years old, dressed in white, with a plump body, but his long hair was messily draped over his shoulders. The man saw the three of them standing outside the door looking at him in a daze, and said with a slight smile: "Since the old man is visiting, how can there be no welcome gift, the three of you please come in." ”

Yu Wendi smiled lightly and walked in with his head held high. Seeing this, Zhang Min also followed, and Liu Si thought about it for a while, and also collapsed.

The white-clothed master invited the three of them to sit down, but there were no chairs in the house. Liu Sizheng was puzzled, Yu Wendi smiled slightly, nodded slightly to the master, and sat straight on the ground, sitting cross-legged. The master smiled and nodded at Yu Wendi. Zhang Min and Liu Si had no choice but to sit on the ground. After sitting down, Zhang Min looked left and right in the house, and saw a landscape painting hanging on the wall on the right side, with the inscription "Friends need to be light when painting, and the mountains are like papers and do not like flat". Then look at the left hand side of the wall hanging a frame, framed is a line of cursive, on the road "the more famous and teach and let nature, Guangling sound; not Tang Wu but thin Zhou Kong, a cry of despair." ”

When the master saw that Zhang Min was fascinated, he asked, "Can this little friend recognize this book?" Zhang Min replied: "Late life is ashamed. Although the words are recognized, the meaning is incomprehensible. The master looked at Yu Wendi again. Yu Wendi looked at the words, and he already had a plan in his heart, so he said: "The late life is bold and straightforward, and Mr. is smiling." This painting tells the story of the seven sages of the Shanyang Bamboo Forest during the Wei and Jin dynasties of the previous dynasty. The seven sages were Ji Kang, Ruan Ji, Shan Tao, Xiang Xiu, Liu Ling, Wang Rong and Ruan Xian, who were known as the 'Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest'. The seven of them are all famous people in the world, abandoning the classics and still the old village, despising the law and worshipping the law. Na Ji Kang opposed the famous religion and admired Lao Zhuang, and later angered the powerful, and played a song "Guangling San" before his execution, which was passed as a swan song. Na Ruan was not respectful to the law and was still natural, he once drove an ox cart, walked recklessly, and every time he came to the end of the road, he wept and returned. In this cursive lettering, it should be said that Ruan Ji and Ji Kang are two famous people."
