The slanting sun hangs over Tingzhou. The shadow of the sail is long. Where the blue clouds meet is Wutou. There are a few cold reeds with three or two wild geese, and the people stand in the clear autumn.
Don't stop your boat outside the willows. Don't worry about your leisure time. Life is just like a floating duck in the river and sea. The road of life is like this, and thousands of miles can flow safely.

…
One day while driving, Bai Fu returned to the Baling Pavilion on the east bank of the Bashui River in Chang'an. The scene of that day was vivid in his mind. The ten-mile-long pavilion was filled with pink willows and willow trees. At this time, the autumn frost and red leaves were on the setting sun, and the eyes were broken.
Heaven. Return to the clouds without a trace, unlike when I was young.
As the saying goes, people are more timid when they are close to their hometown.
For some reason, Bai Fu felt restless and did not feel the joy of returning to Chang'an. The moment he passed through the city gate, he felt unspeakably upset.
Bai Fu walked along Zhuque Street and soon came to the "Bashu Guild Hall" in Chongrenfang.
Bai Fu walked into the Bashu guild hall with two horses including "Blast". When the guys saw them, they were so surprised that they dropped their work and gathered around them. Bai Fu finally showed a smile on his face and greeted him warmly.
"Madman, have you made any progress with the acupuncture techniques I taught you? Are Aunt He, Uncle Zhu and the others getting better?"
"Fat San'er, I can't even recognize you! You've become so thin that you have so much perseverance. You even fought hard for Miss Xia!"
Bai Fu loved to chat, was good at treating diseases, had no airs, and got along well with everyone. Everyone knew that Bai Fu loved horses. Without waiting for Bai Fu's instructions, he grabbed the reins of the horses, led the horses to the backyard, and used them.
Feed good black beans, then carefully wash and polish them with horsehair.
My friend Huang Zhen cooked in person and cooked several specialty dishes: twice-cooked pork with large knife, fish with tofu, stir-fried green beans, a large basin of vinegar soup... The aroma of stir-fried Sichuan peppercorns, chili peppers, onions, ginger and garlic once again evoked the beauty of Baidu.
Renewed appetite.
Everything seemed to be normal, but Bai Fu always felt that something was wrong.
Bai Fu asked: "Brother Zhen, does Yichan know about my return?"
Huang Zhen smiled and said: "How could I not know? I received your letter from Fei Ge, and I asked someone to bring the message to her on the same day."
"Oh", Bai Fu thought thoughtfully.
Huang Zhen said: "Don't think too much. When you are in the military camp, you can't help yourself. After you have eaten and drank enough, take a hot bath first, then take a nap to refresh yourself. If you have anything to say, we will talk to you when we meet."
Bai Fu thought so. When I come back this time, I won't have anything to do for a while. It's a long time, so there's no rush.
After eating, Bai Fu took a bath and thought about his next plan.
In the next two days, Bai Fu brought another letter to Yang Yichan. The letter was delivered, but there was no news. This gave Bai Fu a bad feeling. He asked Huang Zhen, during the days when he left Chang'an,
Is there any news about Yang Yichan?
Huang Zhen shook his head and said: "After you left, Miss Yang has not returned to the Bashu Guild Hall. We have no news about her."
Bai Fu believed that Huang Zhen would not lie to him, but he might choose to say something and not say everything. Because he spoke slower than before, he seemed to have to think carefully about every word he said.
On the third day, Bai Fu finally received a message from Yang Yichan, saying that she would come back two days later.
Huang Zhen patted Bai Fu on the shoulder and said, "Stop being suspicious. Isn't there any news?"
Bai Fu nodded, forced a smile on his face, and walked back into the house silently without answering.
Yang Yichan's message aggravated his bad premonition. In the past, when he came back from an outing, no matter how busy Yang Yichan was, she would come to meet him on the same day. But this time, she didn't even say, "There are a lot of things in the Huben Army camp, and she is very busy."
Excuses are omitted.
You know, men’s sixth sense is by no means worse than women’s, especially those they care about.
That night, Bai Fu tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. He lay down until dawn and then slowly fell asleep. After falling asleep, he had many strange dreams. He dreamed that he helped He Xiao cheat in the competition and was discovered by the elders. Master
In anger, he permanently expelled himself from Qingcheng. When he was expelled down the mountain, he went to see Yang Yichan to say goodbye. He ran all over Qingcheng but could not find Yichan.
Just when I was walking on the winding mountain road and looking back at the mountain gate, I saw Yang Yichan nestled in Qin Yongjie's arms, and Qin Yongjie had his arms around Yichan's waist. The two were talking and laughing, which was extremely sweet.
When he saw himself, Qin Yongjie winked at him, feeling very unhappy. Yang Yichan didn't feel any guilt at all, and walked forward gracefully, chatting and laughing, as if she had never had any intimate relationship with him.
Bai Fu was furious and was about to question, but when Qin Yongjie hooked his finger, Yang Yichan happily threw herself away like a little bird. When he was done, he didn't forget to turn around and give him a gentle smile.
Bai Fu woke up suddenly, sweating profusely...
In the next few days, Bai Fu was sitting on pins and needles, restless. He waited at the door of the inn every day, so much so that Huang Zhen couldn't stand it any longer. He couldn't help but go to the Huben Army Women's Camp in person to persuade Yang Yichan to come to Bashu as soon as possible.
Guild Hall.
"Brother Huang, what brought you here?" Yichan came out of the Huben Army Women's Camp with a smile on her face.
Huang Zhen tried his best to make his expression look kinder. He said: "Brother Fu has been back for several days. It's not the best way for you to delay seeing him like this."
Yang Yichan's eyes darkened, she twisted her fingers and said, "Brother Huang, you also know that he was the one who initiated the breakup that day..."
Huang Zhen said: "Brother Fu is young after all. When he is impulsive, many of his words are out of his mind. He also regretted it afterwards. You have known him for a long time, and you know that he doesn't mean this. If you really don't want to be with him, meet him.
, Speak clearly. From now on, everyone will go their own way on the Yangguan Road and the single-plank bridge."
Yang Yichan's eyes turned red and she said: "I don't want to cherish this relationship, but his temper is so bad, he gets angry at every turn, or he is cold and violent towards me. Some of his words are like hammering nails into the wall,
Even if the nail is pulled out, the nail hole is still there, so it is impossible to pretend that nothing happened."
Huang Zhen said: "There is something wrong with him, but don't you know why he got angry? Why do you have to take the moral high ground after dumping others? You have to be kind."
Yang Yichan cried and said: "Brother Huang, it's true that he is your good brother, but you can't favor him. He didn't cherish me first."
Huang Zhen said expressionlessly: "Miss Yang, have you forgotten what our Bashu Guild Hall does in Chang'an? Do you want me to point out what is right and wrong?"
Hearing this, Yang Yichan stopped crying, raised her head, and said slowly: "Huang Zhen, what do you want to say?"
Huang Zhen sneered and said: "To be honest, I don't care who of you is right or wrong, whether you are separated or together. I don't think you are suitable to be his wife either. You are not the same person at all, and you will not be able to be together reluctantly.
It's been a long time. It's a pity that Brother Fu is young and doesn't understand it.
Today you have flown up the branches and become a phoenix, and your brothers have long since fallen out of your sight. But flowers are not as red as a hundred days, and people are not as good as a thousand days. Keep a line in your behavior, and don't bully others too much."
After Huang Zhen finished speaking, he walked away without looking back.
Yang Yichan was stunned on the spot, feeling all sorts of things...
