Chapter 40: This Sentiment Can Be Remembered (1)

The scholar's surname is Li, a native of Yizhou.

Although the family background is ordinary, he is studious since he was a child, likes to read and make articles, has a hearty nature, treats people and things are praised by others, is quite conceited, and often says with people that he wants to be admitted to the top of the department, return to his hometown in fine clothes, and become a parent official of the people.

In the spring of the 321st year of the New Year's calendar, he set out from his hometown of Yizhou and went to the capital thousands of miles away for reference.

At that time, the rich and noble families would match the children who were rushing to take the exam with scholars to serve all the way and send lonely people, but the scholar surnamed Li had a thin foundation, and where to invite the scholar, he could only carry the bookcase on his back on the road.

All the way north to Tongzhou, passing through the mountain, suddenly thunder rumbled, the sky fell heavy rain, the scholar surnamed Li saw a temple in the mountains in the clouds and mist, and hurried to avoid the rain.

The name of the temple is Lanruo, antique, but it seems to have been abandoned for a long time, there are debris piled up everywhere, there are spider webs everywhere, and the dust on the ground has accumulated a thick layer, mixed with rain like mud.

Seeing that the rain was falling like a river in the sky, and there was no sign of abating, the scholar surnamed Li couldn't, so he had to push open the door and walk into the temple.

Entered the side hall, found a slightly clean room, the facilities are still perfect, desks, beds are all available, the scholar was happy and quickly brushed up his sleeves and cleaned it, cleared a place where he could stay, put the box on his back, took out the book from it, and read aloud in the still slightly bright sky.

When reading at night, light the lamp, which is a good way to save candles.

The sky was a little depressed, the room was very stuffy, he was irritable, put down the books in his hand, got up and opened the window, but saw a locust tree in the backyard, full of green under the rain, adding infinite vitality to this dilapidated and deserted temple.

Just looking at it, it made the scholar surnamed Li feel better, he leaned against the window and watched for a long time, until he felt a little wet, and found that his sleeves had been stained by the rain that splashed in, and then he walked back to the table.

The rain was getting lighter and the sky was getting darker, he looked outside and sighed, he should have spent the night in this kind of place today, fortunately there were beds here.

Time passed quickly in the midst of reading, and in the blink of an eye it was night, and he took out the hard baked cakes from the box, drank the not very sweet spring water in the kettle, and poured the batter into his stomach little by little while flipping through the books.

The moon was high in the middle of the night, and the chill was getting thicker, so he got up and closed the window.

"Bang, bang, bang. ”

Suddenly, there was a very light and rhythmic knock on the door outside.

A fragrance of flowers and plants after the rain blew in along the cracks, making him look in a trance.

He was very bold, even in a small temple in the middle of a barren mountain, the sudden knock on the door did not remind him of ghosts.

The son is silent, the strange force is confused, the belief is there, and the non-belief is not, and the reader should be right-minded, which is the reason.

"Who is it?"

He asked.

A voice came from outside the house, crisp and pleasant, with a pleading tone.

"Childe, I'm a woman from a nearby farmer's house, I got lost when I went up the mountain to collect medicine, and I followed the lights all the way here, and I can't go home tonight, I don't know if I can come in and spend the night?"

How could a nearby family get lost in their own land, and how could a girl's family dare to wander around in such a desolate place?

It's just that maybe her voice is too good, or maybe the scholar surnamed Li is too lonely and has never touched a girl, so she happily agreed, got up and opened the door, and then led the girl in.

The scholar surnamed Li blinked by the dim candlelight, and the woman was wrapped in a ball, wearing a coarse linen dress with a dark color, dressed like a peasant family.

How to say it, the scholar surnamed Li secretly said in his heart, this little girl is a bit "earthy" to describe it in her hometown.

Looking at her face again, it was indescribably lovely and charming, and seeing that he could see it fascinated, the girl smiled a little wryly, revealing two small dimples.

"Under Li Yubai, what is the girl's name?"

The woman laughed again, revealing a mouthful of neat white teeth, which shook his head a little.

"The little woman's surname is Nie, and her single name is a Tian character. ”

Nie Tian?

Also, the peasant girl, Li Shusheng thought about it and agreed.

"It's raining outside, why is the girl's clothes still dry?"

The scholar surnamed Li suddenly felt that something was wrong and asked suspiciously.

"Where did you do it?" the woman surnamed Nie said with a smile, "I'm afraid Childe is mistaken." ”

She's such a laughing girl.

While thinking about it, he looked suspiciously, only to see that the other party's coat was indeed wet, and it seemed that he could get water out with a pull, and he couldn't help but rub his eyes again.

Did I just see it wrong? Yes, the lights here are dim, and my eyes are not good, which is normal.

"It's so uncomfortable to wear wet clothes on your body, Childe doesn't mind if I take them off. ”

He didn't agree, and the girl had already taken off her outer coat, revealing a slightly transparent underwear inside, and I have to say that the woman's figure is really excellent.

The scholar surnamed Li's face turned red, he had secretly thought about this kind of charming scene by himself, where would he have expected that he would really encounter such a fragrant scene.

"Ahem. He half-turned his back, not knowing what to say.

The woman, however, was generous, and walked to sit down beside him.

"Li Gongzi, can you let me see the book in your hand?"

"Ah, of course you can. Li Shusheng said with some embarrassment, but when it came to the field he was good at, he immediately raised his eyebrows and danced again, "This is a collection of poems by Huo Jianxing, everyone in this dynasty, you see, these sentences can be described as good sentences." ”

Qinghai Changyun dark snow mountain, lonely city looking at Yumen Pass.

The yellow sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will not be returned if it is not broken.

"We are scholars, although we can't go to the border passes, fight for the country, and fight bloody battlefields, but this heroic spirit and Lingyun's ambition still make me quite fond of it, General Huo's talent and a pure heart really make me fascinated. ”

Seeing him shake his head, she couldn't help but laugh.

"What is the girl laughing at? These verses are very ......."

He was about to say something that was not to be true, but when she kissed him suddenly, his face flushed like a drunken traveler.

"Girl, you ......"

She suddenly made such a bold move, and her face was flushed with shame: "It's really that the son is too cute, and the concubine can't help but ......."

In this somewhat dimly lit side room, under the candlelight, a man and a woman, both blushing with shame, and looking at each other, it was almost difficult to hold themselves.

At this critical juncture, he suddenly remembered the books of sages he had read in his stomach, and the etiquette rules taught by the sages, and immediately moved his face, put his right hand into a fist and put it to his mouth and coughed twice.

"Well, doesn't the girl want to read my book? Let's talk about poetry and art. ”

But the concubine can't read these heroic verses. ”

Li Shusheng said in his heart that he still didn't understand a woman's heart, how could he be stupid enough to talk about these poems about the battlefield with the girl's family, and hurriedly said: "Naturally, I can't talk about this with the girl anymore, let's talk about it...... Well, it's a matter of wind and snow. ”

"Where did the flower moon come from? It's just a broken temple in the mountains. The woman quipped.

His expression suddenly became gloomy: "What the girl said is right, this situation is only accompanied by the lonely moon, and I am just a poor scholar, where did the wind and snow come from?"

She pursed her lips and smiled, and with a wave of her hand, two glasses of wine and three dishes suddenly appeared on the table.

"Childe, what do you think this is?"

The scholar surnamed Li looked back and suddenly showed a look of surprise, unable to understand everything that was happening in front of him at all: "This ...... Where does this food come from?"

"I took the concubine with me before, but the prince patronized and watched me, where would I notice this. ”

Li Yubai was suddenly embarrassed, and all doubts were left behind, his nose smelled the aroma of wine and food, and his stomach screamed angrily, what kind of good thing was the baked cake and white water he ate before? Now when he sees the things on the table, it is really a heaven and a place, and this smell alone really hooks up the five internal organs temple, making it difficult for him to control himself.

"Then Li will thank the girl for her hospitality, please sit down. ”

The two sat down opposite each other, and the scholar surnamed Li couldn't help but first put a piece of chopsticks and meat into his mouth, and then took a sip of wine, and then said happily: "Happy, good wine with food, beauty and bright moon, life is like this, it's really blissful." ”

"Now Childe can talk about it. She held her chin in her hand and smiled.

He put down his chopsticks and said with a smile: "This is naturally okay, the contemptible person eats the girl's things, and naturally has to talk about the full stomach, if you want to say this poem, I think the realm is the first, the rhetoric, the second is the second, just like life, many foreign things seem to be important, but in fact it is nothing more than that." ”

She nodded her head in agreement, and he was overjoyed and continued.

"I think this poem should be divided into three realms, for example, there is a word in the previous dynasty, last night the west wind withered the green trees, went up to the tall building alone, looked at the end of the world, and the road was full of wandering and confused, this is the first realm. ”

"The second realm, he has Liu Bachelor said, the belt gradually widens and does not regret it, for Yi to make people haggard, as if to drink as a stick, since he does not regret it, there will be no hatred, after paying, do not ask for returns, you have to always. ”

"The third level of the realm, is the words of the general, the crowd looked for him thousands of times, suddenly looked back, but that person is there, the lights are dim, the fame and fortune that people have been pursuing all their lives, maybe in the end they can find their most precious things, in fact, behind them. ”

After three sentences, he seemed to be reminded of sadness, sighed, and raised his head to pour a large sip of wine.

In front of her, she smiled skillfully, with affectionate eyebrows, and looked at him with a hint of admiration, which made him so satisfied.

At this moment, he forgot about fame and fortune, and he just wanted to go on like this with her, and each other forever.

In the second half of the night, lonely men and widows, under the influence of alcohol, have feelings for each other.

And at this moment, the rooster crowed outside, and the two of them were pulled out of the wonderful atmosphere.

He and she both turned their heads in a panic.

In the end, she got up and walked to the door first.

"Childe, the sky is about to dawn, the concubine has not returned overnight, the family should be in a hurry, the concubine will come and chat with the son in the evening. ”

The scholar surnamed Li also got up and stood up and sighed: "Girl, it's really not a secret, here are students who are going to Beijing to take the exam, and they are just staying overnight because of the heavy rain, and they will leave later." ”

She turned her head, a hint of resentment in her tone.

"Since they are all about learning, why can't they stay here for a few more days, preach poetry and scriptures for the concubine, and then let the concubine be a good entertainer? ”

After speaking, he didn't care what he said, and then drifted away.

The scholar surnamed Li was in a hurry, so he hurriedly chased him out, but she was gone, just because the other party was really angry, walking fast, and thinking of the girl's words just now, he retreated into the room in a trance, sitting at the table and not knowing what he was thinking.

Touching the scene, I originally wanted to write these two chapters later, which can be regarded as a commemoration, and I couldn't help crying when I wrote it.

The three realms in the text quote Mr. Wang Guowei's human words, but it is not Mr. Wang Guowei's interpretation method, but only the interpretation of the original meaning of the poem.
