Ye Yu nodded gloomily.

The general said: "Count, that child is now in her twenties, can you still recognize her when you see her again?"

Ye Yu shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

"You haven't changed. The general said, "As long as you want, this will be your home in the future." ”

Ye Yu didn't answer, he was his friend, but this was not his home.

He had been adrift for so long that he had forgotten the feeling of home, and the new clothes he wore and the daily food and drink made him uncomfortable, and sometimes uneasy.

So four days later, in the morning, he decided to leave the place.

He packed his simple luggage, and before he could leave the house, the general walked in as casually as usual.

He was surprised to see this scene, held Ye Yu's hand tightly, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Ye Yu said: "I was about to resign to you." ”

The general looked Ye Yu up and down and said, "What about your luggage?"

Ye Yu pointed to the knife on his waist and said, "Here." ”

The general's heart sank, a person who had been adrift for half his life, a knife was all his luggage, he couldn't imagine how lonely Ye Yu had been over the years.

"I know you're going to leave sooner or later," the general said, "but your injuries aren't healed yet, don't be in a hurry to go, stay for another ten days and half a month, heal your injuries, and it's not too late to raise yourself to be white and fat." ”

Ye Yu said: "My injuries have healed. ”

The general looked at his resolute eyes, sighed, let go of his grip that was getting tighter and tighter, and said, "I have been stationed here for five years, and there are only soldiers and military orders by my side, do you know what it feels like?"

Ye Yu said: "I know, I have also marched and fought. ”

The general said, "Can't you stay a little longer and spend more time with my old friend?"

Ye Yu said: "You should marry a wife, have a bunch of children, and let them accompany you." ”

This sentence seemed to talk about the general's sore spot, he let out a long sigh, and said: "What you said makes sense, in addition to fighting wars all these years, it has been about eating, drinking, and enjoying themselves, and marrying a wife has really been delayed." ”

He turned his head to look at Ye Yu and said, "Look, I don't have a wife and children now, so you really have to stay with me." ”

Ye Yu said: "How long do you want me to stay?"

When the general heard this, he laughed happily, and hurriedly walked out on Ye Yu's shoulder, saying in his mouth: "It's best to stay until I marry a wife and have children." Let's go, now go drink with me first. ”

When the wine is exhausted, people have a parting day.

The wine is more mellow than in the past, and the meat is more fragrant than yesterday's, as if only this method can keep Ye Yu.

Sometimes the general will become like a child and lie in Ye Yu's house and refuse to leave, and there are endless words, talking about the rivers and lakes, the country, and the battlefield. It was several times that it was dawn before they put down their glasses and the general closed his fat mouth.

Ye Yu accompanied this old friend for ten days and a half months of drinking and meat, until one night before going to bed, he found that his belly was unconsciously bigger, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

He had just had the idea of leaving here, and the general would always appear in time, not giving him a chance to say anything at all, and pulling him straight to the place where there was good wine and meat.

There is not a trace of cloud in the dark sky tonight, and the full moon is a little transparent and a little dazzling. Tonight's good wine and meat are no different from yesterday's, but tonight's general seems to have something on his mind.

He didn't drink many glasses, the general who had always had a good amount of alcohol was a little drunk, his mouth exuded a pungent smell of wine, and he looked at Ye Yu in front of him with a pair of misty drunken eyes, and said: "Brother Ye, do you know that the army I led has been the most elite army in the defense of the country after five years of recuperation." ”

Ye Yu said: "I can see it." ”

"After a while, on the Double Ninth Festival in early September, King Wei will drive his own expedition and lead a large army to come here to learn from me. The general said: "Since the incorporation of the Heimiaozhai and Huashan factions, the defense of the country is like a bamboo, and it is invincible. I will be a teacher again, and I will go straight to Huanglong, and Xu Guo's qi has been exhausted. ”

Hearing that his national qi was exhausted, Ye Yu's eyes flashed with a trace of pain that the mountains and rivers had been broken.

The general continued: "At that time, there will be no more troubled times in this world, and there will be no longer a distinction between Xu Guoguo and patriots, and all the people will be patriots. ”

Ye Yu suddenly asked, "Who is the owner of Heimiao Village now?"

"The second son of the old village owner. The general said: "Ten years ago, the day after you killed the old village owner, his second son took over the position of the village owner. In order to win over the new owner, King Wei married his daughter to him, and after becoming a concubine, he also asked him to worship the governor of Weiguo. ”

Ye Yu said: "What about the abbot of Shaolin?"

He accompanied King Wei all the year round, read Buddhist scriptures for him, overtook the dead soldiers, and prayed for the soldiers before the expedition. The general smiled bitterly: "This old monk and Huashan's Niu Bi have a long life, and they are still alive now, Niu Bi has read a lot of military books, and now he is a military advisor to defend the country." ”

Ye Yu said: "He's not stopping?"

The general let out a long sigh and said, "I took off my dart suit and put on my armor, why don't the Taoist priests in Huashan take off their robes and put on their armor." The beggars called Hanako no longer ask for food, this is the troubled times. ”

Ye Yu was speechless.

The general said: "The reason why you are allowed to stay is that I hope to wait until I meet with King Wei." I will find a position for you as a partial general, and when Xu Guo is destroyed, with your ability, it will definitely not be difficult to make great contributions, and then you will enjoy endless glory and wealth, and you will no longer have to suffer from wandering around. ”

Ye Yu sneered: "Xu Guo is still here, I am still from Xu Guo." ”

The general said: "Xu Guo is about to be gone, and you will also be a patriot at that time, it doesn't matter whether you are from Xu Guo now or not." In this troubled world, what's the harm in making some plans for your own future. ”

Ye Yu said: "The new owner of the village must regard me as an enemy who killed my father, and he will definitely not let me have a good time." I also have Liangzi with Huashan and the beggar gang. ”

The general said: "In the face of national hatred and family hatred, these personal grievances are all in the past. As long as you want, I will speak for you in front of the king, and no one wants to be your enemy. ”

Ye Yu seemed to be a little angry, he stood up and said, "Don't forget, Brother Tang was forced to death by these people back then, and I don't want to seek revenge from them." ”

The general said: "Do you think I am willing to work with these people? ”

Ye Yu said: "Maybe you are right, the world no longer distinguishes between Xu Guo and Guo Guo. But none of this has anything to do with me, I don't want to kill people for a long time. ”

The general said, "It seems that I can't keep you." ”

"I'm not here because I'm hurt, I'm not here to get any benefit from you, and I'm not here to kill someone. Ye Yu said: "I'm just accompanying an old friend." ”

The general's eyes were filled with tears.

Ye Yu said: "If you still mention this, I will leave tomorrow." ”

The general said: "Okay, I won't mention it to you, we are friends, we don't distinguish between Xu Guo and Wei Guo, we drink." ”

Ye Yu sat down again and said, "Okay, let's drink." ”

They were all drunk that night, drunk thoroughly, drunk comfortably.

Until they wake up.

When I woke up, I had a terrible headache, and I couldn't stop vomiting, and I vomited all the chicken, duck and fish I ate last night.

Ye Yu vomited, coughed at the same time, and coughed up blood again.

Mr. Yan had a hint of anger on her face when she saw this scene, and she poured sobering soup for the two of them, and said, "Next time, you should drink more, it's best to drink all the liver, so that you can take care of the business of my small medical hall, and by the way, take care of the business of the coffin shop on the street." ”

The general said with a haha: "Yes, yes, yes." ”

Mr. Yan said: "General, you are in good health, no matter how drunk you are, it doesn't matter." But your friend is not in good health and can't stand your drink. ”

The general smiled: "Isn't this Mr. Yan here, he can't die." ”

Mr. Yan gave him a blank look, and handed a bowl of decanting soup to Ye Yu first.

Through the heat rising from the bowl, Ye Yu glanced at Mr. Yan with half-open eyes and said, "There is Mr. Lao." ”

Mr. Yan said: "You are weak, don't drink so much wine next time." ”

Ye Yu nodded, and after drinking the sobering soup, he finally stopped coughing, and fell asleep again.

In the general's mansion in this remote town, there seems to be something unknown hidden.

With the sound of erhu from the artists on the street, Mr. Yan's delicate back disappeared at the end of the long street, she was in the downtown area, but she was as lonely as Ye Yu.

When Ye Yu woke up, it was dusk, and the orange sunset shone into the window, shining on the already cold decanting soup.

After drinking this bowl of soup, Ye Yu's throat finally felt more comfortable, but his head still swelled badly, and he decided not to drink a drop of wine for the next two days.

The general did not think so, and after a good night's sleep, he looked so good, his face was ruddy, and no one could tell that he had been drunk a few hours ago.

Since my head doesn't hurt and my throat is comfortable, I have to continue drinking, and it's rare to have a friend here.

Ye Yu refused, he smiled bitterly: "Let me go today, and drink it tomorrow." ”

The general said, "Don't drink, are you going to drink water?"

Ye Yu said: "I want to drink some of Mr. Yan's decanting soup." ”

The general looked around and said, "The sobering soup is finished, and if it's gone, we'll still drink the bar." ”

Ye Yu said: "After drinking here, Mr. Yan must still have a lot there." ”

The general sighed and said, "Okay, I'll let you go today." You go to Mr. Yan's first and drink enough sobering soup, it's best to drink it, and tomorrow our brother will drink it again. ”

If there are no past grievances and hatreds, and there is no national hatred and family hatred, just the question of drinking alcohol is enough for Ye Yu to consider leaving here quickly.

As he walked towards Mr. Yan's pharmacy, he was already thinking about how to say goodbye to the general tomorrow.
