-----------------------------------------

One

A water room in Guazhou, Beijing,

Zhongshan is only separated by a few mountains.

The spring breeze has come to the south bank of the river again,

When will the bright moon shine on me?

The confluence of the Yangtze River and the canal can be faintly seen on the Guazhou ferry - one is the irresistible wonder of nature, and the other is the ancient and modern masterpiece of manpower against nature, silently converging together. The ferries come and go in an endless stream, the so-called bustling is all for profit, the people standing by the river look expectantly, as if crossing the river will be a new world, but they do not know that there are people crossing the north and south, which side is where the hope lies? Everyone believes in their hearts that their pursuit is the most correct.

A white-clothed gentleman looked at the calm but turbulent river, and involuntarily chanted the famous sentence of the former dynasty. Who knows that before the words fell, someone applauded: "When will the bright moon shine on me, Brother Li is worthy of being a good reader of poetry and books, this sentence is really comfortable." ”

This Brother Li is called Li Jia, and he is the son of the official eunuch family in Jinling City. Since childhood, there have been famous teachers who teach them according to their aptitude, which can be said to be a rare talent. It's just because I recently learned that my family said that they were going out to study, but in fact, it was just a trip in the name of sightseeing. Li Jia's family is quite wealthy, and he is also a bold person, and he really made some good friends during this trip, eating, drinking and having fun on weekdays, so unhappy. The person who heard Li Jia's poems and applauded was called Liu Yuchun, a native of Yangzhou, but he didn't like to read since he was a child. The two met on the road and were quite like-minded. So Liu Yuchun suggested going to Yangzhou together. Li Jia is also idle, and he also has a lot of yearning for Yangzhou, which has a slender waist and a light palm, so he gladly accepted the invitation at the moment.

Li Jia casually read the poems of his predecessors by the riverside, but he didn't expect to be regarded as his own by Liu Yuchun, who didn't read. As soon as he heard this, he suddenly felt that the eyes of the people around him were focused on him, Li Jia had always been quite self-respecting, and immediately responded casually: "Brother Liu misunderstood, but this is not my original poem." ”

Liu Yuchun laughed and said, "Who do I care who made it? Anyway, this is the first time I've heard it, good poetry, good poetry." ”

Li Jia was speechless immediately, and he didn't bother to distinguish with him anymore.

There was silence for a while, and it wasn't long before the boat came ashore. There are a lot of pedestrians at this Kua Chau ferry, so the boat is always much faster than other people. The two were just about to get off the boat when they suddenly heard a commotion behind them. Both of them were good deeds, so they separated from the crowd and squeezed through.

I saw the boss of the boat pointing at a person with one hand on his waist and scolding: "In these days, even beggars can get on the boat." I don't care how you got involved, if you don't give this money, you don't want to go on completely. ”

Li Jia looked at the beggar in the mouth of the boat boss, although he was dressed in tatters and his face was haggard, but the clothes could be vaguely seen to be the same silk shirt as himself. It is estimated that this is also a down-and-out scholar, and it is not easy for people to go to the rivers and lakes, but Li Jia is moved by compassion.

Liu Yuchun saw Li Jia's thoughts—he has always been observant of words and feelings, and is good at what people like—and stepped forward and said, "Ship boss, don't think I don't know your thoughts. If you don't check it sooner, what will this call for?"

The shipowner was unrelenting. Yiliu Yuchun's character is about to make trouble. Li Jia said immediately: "Forget it, Brother Liu, don't be like him." A few coppers, and I went out for this man. I can't get angry with him. ”

The down-and-out man arched his hand at the two of them, and left without saying a word.

Even Li Jia was a little angry now. threw the boat owner the boat money, pulled Liu Yuchun up and got off the boat without saying a word. Liu Yuchun also wanted to ease the atmosphere, so he pulled Li Jia to look at the scenery by the river.

"Look, Brother Li, I've been back and forth many times on this riverside, and I always feel that something is missing. Just now, my heart moved, and I suddenly thought of it. ”

"Oh, would you like to hear Brother Liu?"

"There's a gazebo missing. ”

If this is the case, if there is a pavilion sitting on the riverside, gazing by the railing, drinking and making gifts, it is a beautiful thing in the world.

Thinking of this, Li Jia said: "Brother Liu is right, in the future, you and my brother will fund the construction of a building here." ”

The two talked and laughed, and went farther and farther, straight in the direction of Yangzhou City.

Precisely:

Ten years of Yangzhou dream,

I don't know it.

This goes to the place where the wine wakes up for many years,

The soul is still in the Agarwood Pavilion.

Two

There is no night ban in Yangzhou City. Therefore the gates of the city were also open all night. It was getting late, and there were still pedestrians rushing. A staggering figure gradually appeared in the distance, but it was the down-and-out man on the boat in the afternoon. It is estimated that he stopped on the road and finally arrived at the city before dark. The soldiers guarding the gate didn't even have a routine check when they saw him, and anyway, there were countless beggars who came in and out every day, and there were not many of them.

"Hurry up, hurry up, don't waste time, this will enter the city, maybe you can catch up with the alms of the sect, hahaha!"

The down-and-out man raised his head and saw the word Yangzhou on the gatehouse. It turns out that I wandered around and unknowingly arrived in Yangzhou? This is a city that belongs to dreams. However, I arrived here when I woke up from a dream. At first, he left his hometown in order to make a career. Sometimes, encounters are also a kind of fate. What kind of people you meet at any time. From the beginning, even until the end, I was always in love with her. Is this fate? I didn't expect that I was frustrated for a while, and I entered a gambling house once, and I could never get out again. I really wanted to take her away. Yes, I lied to her. The feeling of pain in her heart when she took the money in her hand for the first time still comes up from time to time, reminding me of my meanness. Why, why is she like this? In the end, it becomes a demand, is it a habit? Is it the contradiction that she thinks she should reciprocate her love? Is it the contradiction that she loves but hates in her heart? This world is enough to change anyone according to God's will. She used to be a girl who was ice clear and jade. However, life has pushed her to such a point.

"Hu Lang, one day, will you leave the slave family?" her voice was soft, bringing out a trace of helplessness from her bones. Hu Lang, you will, you will dislike me after all. I only hate, I hate that I didn't meet you earlier, I hate this day, I hate everything that can be seen.

He could hear her heart, and when he answered, he stroked her satin-smooth hair: "I won't, never." I've achieved nothing, and if I lose you again, what will I have left?" The sound of the oath was still in my ears. I don't understand why I am, but my heartache keeps pushing her into the arms of other men. The first time I did that, I remember that night I was drunk and fell in the willow forest by the moat of Raozhoucheng, and the fluttering of the willow leaves cut my heart like a knife. Even though the long strip looks like an old hanging, it has also climbed and broken other people's hands. The more obedient she was, the more she hated her, the more she wanted her to suffer, and wanted her to cry and say, "Hu Lang, take me away?" she didn't say, just silently endured it. So, that day gradually postponed. So, the more ferocious he gambled.

Such a deformed love is no less vulgar than the romance of the wind and snow. As long as it's love, it's great. This greatness was stained by his own cowardice. However, he is just a weak scholar, not a high-roller with ten steps. Who is facing the sword on the side of the neck, and can still talk about maintaining their true nature in the face of the threat to their lives? I don't want to distinguish myself more, after all, I am the one who bears her first. So, he had no choice but to leave. There is no goodbye, no goodbye, just wander forever, whether it is as atonement for sins, or drowning in irresistible thoughts with physical pain.

"Hu Lang, I'm really tired. Her words sounded like yesterday.

I was so tired, it seemed that I had fallen down like this, in a bustling city like a dream, and the difference between a dream and death was only whether I could wake up again. I really can't face my cowardice anymore.

In a trance, I felt a hot temperature in my throat. I opened my eyes vaguely, but there was a thrillingly beautiful face in front of me. He was startled, and struggled to get out of the way. But I heard the woman say: "Sir, don't move, this is the porridge made by the little girl, and your body will be better if you drink it." ”

He didn't say a word, but looked around. It turned out that she still fell on the side of the road, and this woman should have passed by here in a car next to her, and she saw herself before she helped. It's just that how could she carry hot porridge with her? Could it be that she deliberately went home to get it, if so, she would really be ashamed of herself. After thinking about it, I suddenly saw the words "Jiaoshifang" on the car. Suddenly remembered the words of the soldiers at the city gate, and it turned out that he was still treated as a beggar. This is a woman who saved herself on the way back from charity.

"The girl was originally a bodhisattva, but it's okay to let the little student do the work for this vulgar job?" Immediately, I didn't know where the strength came from, so I jumped up and hid my face and left. It turned out that he suddenly remembered that it was the soldier on the ship who had saved him from the siege, how could he face him again?

The woman's anxious voice came from behind him: "Hey, you ...... person"

"Girl, since he's gone, don't worry about him. Li Jia smiled and said, "Xiaosheng has nothing to do recently, so I can help him when I meet him that day." ”

"The slave family thanked the son for his kindness. ”

"The girl is polite, Xiaosheng's name is Li Jia, I don't know if I have the honor to know the girl's name?"

"The slave's surname is Du, and the people in the workshop call me Shi Niang. ”

Bianshui flows, Surabaya flows, flows to Guazhou Gudutou, Wushan is a little worried.

Thinking about it, hating it, hating it until it is time to return, and the moonlight people lean on the building.

The river flows amorphously, just as acacia is invisible. Bai Letian's Sauvignon Blanc depicts a woman leaning on the makeup floor to see the scenery. Guazhou Gudu, since the word Lotte, has a hazy taste of love. The young man was just about to step on the ferry, but suddenly found that there was an additional pavilion by the river, although it had not been built, it was already the first time to see the beautiful and majestic. He slowed down and paced to the front of the pavilion. Half a year ago, there was no pavilion here, and now I plan to stay away from nature.

The pavilion is built by the water, and the scenery of the entire river is in full view, and the four pavilion pillars are raised, presumably to prevent the pavilion from being flooded when the river rises. Turning to the front, the young man was shocked, but the name of the pavilion was called "Agarwood Pavilion". He had carefully observed just now, this pavilion is not made of agarwood, so it is called agarwood, which inevitably has the meaning of incense and jade. Before he was ready to make up his mind to do that, he couldn't help but feel very discouraged to see the name.

At this time, he had no other interest, and immediately wanted to walk back to the place where the boat was going. I never thought that as soon as I turned around, I found a group of people walking towards me, carrying a lot of things, large and small. Could it be that the craftsmen have come to work overtime again before the night comes, but the pavilion is almost finished, and only the details such as the exterior painting are needed, so there is no need to work so hard. Thinking of this, his curiosity rose again, so he stood on the side of the road and pretended to be irrelevant to the river, just waiting for the crowd to come.

After seeing it clearly, he regretted it again. It turned out that the people carried some incense, candles, paper money, and other sacrificial objects. The young man shouted in his heart, who am I provoking whom, I have never done anything excessive in the past six months, why did I meet these things before leaving today? Those people walked to the front of the pavilion to set things up, and the young man hurriedly ran back to the side of the boat--he didn't want to cause any more trouble.

"Look there, that madman is here again. ”

"It's him, why does he still have the face to come?"

"yes, if I had been killed. ”

"I didn't expect him to do such a thing. ”

"You don't know, that's how Sister Du deceived her around, and in the end she even lost her life, it's really not worth it. ”

The crowd was chattering. The young man also heard about it: the family surnamed Sun of the memorial service is said to have killed a chaste woman together with the surname Li. Now he is in no mood to care about these things, he just wants to cross the river as quickly as possible. He just wanted to go back to her right away, tell her that he loved her, never changed and never changed, and begged for her forgiveness. He didn't want her to have any pain anymore, he had been begging for half a year, but fortunately, there were many rich families in Yangzhou City, and he actually gained a lot in a few days, and since then he has taken begging as a profession. Anyway, no one knows anyone in this foreign land, and even if I keep begging, I don't want to make her suffer any more.

"Brother Li, Brother Li, you went back with me, why did you run out again?"

This is the voice of the willow. Who is he shouting? Could it be that this madman is? The young man looked carefully, and sure enough, it was the same Li Jia who was in high spirits half a year ago. The young man was greatly surprised, the surname Liu was a good friend, but that Li Jia, how did he become like this? After that day, the young man also met Shi Niang from the workshop a few times. The woman in the workshop has always been quite kind, and he naturally often goes around the workshop. Every time, Shi Niang will always give generously - although she no longer remembers him, there is only one woman in the world who can remember him, the woman who was deeply disappointed by herself.

Is the past green and the present still there?

I only heard Li Jiawu muttering to himself: "One thousand gold, one thousand gold, Brother Liu, I sold it for a thousand gold." ”

The boat was far away, and the young man looked back against the railing, only to see that Li Jia was still lingering by the river.

The river is still flowing unhurriedly.

The incense beside the agarwood pavilion has gradually gone out.

Postscript:

The idea of this article is confusing. Du Shi Niang's story was also forced to Yangzhou by me. In fact, in the second part of Hu Shi'an's inner monologue, I really did the investigation. Such people still exist today, and I have been in contact with them a lot, but their thoughts are not something we can understand deeply.

However, although the part of him that was awakened and intimidated revealed his true nature, after all, it can really be understood, thinking of what Jet Li said in Zhongnanhai's bodyguard, I am a professionally trained bodyguard who has the courage to block in the face of bullets, but the instinctive reaction of ordinary people is to dodge.

So I hope that after being a beggar for half a year and witnessing Du Shi Niang's story, he really changed his ways. This is probably the only thing I write that shines brightly. Originally, he wanted him to sink to the bottom of the river with a boat accident when he woke up, but in the end, his subordinates showed mercy.

Tears wet Qiluo, and the young man has a lot of grace.

Every time I see this sentence, I always feel a lot of emotion. Unconsciously wrote a lot of content that had nothing to do with the topic. The story mode of this article draws on the story of Liang Zhu written by Tanaka Okami.,It's the painting of the tiger that can't be done.,At the end of writing, I feel that it's not as good as writing my own things.,Let you laugh.。
