Chapter 6 The sixth time I don’t see the Xianyang Bridge, the misty fog fills the sky, the sky is mourning, Hong Zaidao rides with the salu horse, the long river, the sunset, the old friend Ban Jing

Du Fu and Xiang Ming farmed together, and often made friends with the old farmers in the left and near. The more they learned about the difficulties of harvesting, the more interested they were in the field.In the spring of the second year, I became more and more diligent in farming.First rake up the wheat field planted in the next year, so that the tender seedlings will grow out of the soil.He also heard Xiang Ming's words that land of any size could be used, so he planted sorghum and corn on Longbei.The weather was harmonious that year, and the crops grew very lush.After mid-April, Du Fu saw that the six-acre wheat field he had planted was already golden, and the waves fluctuated with the wind, and it would be ready to harvest in a few days.The chickens and dolphins raised are also fat, and I am happy in my heart.When the wheat was ripe, two old farmers from the left and right came to help, which was very convenient.Just after the wheat was dried and collected, after a rain, the needles in the other four acres of paddy fields were green and reflected in the water, and the sorghum and corn on the back of the dragon grew quickly.The vegetables Yang grows behind the house are quite fresh and tender, and the fresh bamboo shoots taste even clearer.Feeling that such a life is very comfortable, I almost forgot the idea of ​​striving for fame and fame.

Seeing him talking about the joys of the farm, Xiang Ming was always elated, and couldn't help but smiled bitterly and said, "Master doesn't like it too much. A few acres of wheat fields used to be melon fields. The adults who planted melons before were all arrested by the officials and sent to serve as soldiers. The next old woman with her two little grandsons saw that the melons she planted were fat and big, and she was about to ask someone to pick them and sell them for money. When it rained heavily for two days and two nights, all the melons rotted. Betrayed and sent to other counties, relying on my daughter to go. In the first year we plowed the fields and turned the soil. Although it took a little more work, the fields grew stronger. In addition, this year's wind, rain, cold and heat are just right, so it is such a rare encounter. Good harvest. Who can keep such a good time? You are a scholar, and the high officials in the city have come to visit you twice. The Lizheng officials thought that you deliberately lived in seclusion in Nanshan, Erqu and other places, waiting for the imperial court to call you. Officer, I don't know the details, so I didn't dare to harass them. Otherwise, seeing such a good harvest, they would come early and cause trouble, making us restless. You see, last year there were still many middle-aged people farming in the surrounding villages. On sunny days, after the beginning of spring, except for the tenant workers of the wealthy family, how many farmers are under the age of 50? The government arrests people every day to serve as soldiers, and there is a commotion that no one plows the fields, and no one cultivates the land. Go on It’s such a sad day! Or listen to my advice, at this time, the only way to survive is to be an official. It’s really not a good way to just love the fields and not even bother to enter the city.”

When Du Fu first came to Chang'an, although he saw frequent conscripts from the imperial court and extremely high income, the people complained everywhere.Because the Kinki area is still a piece of mulberry, hemp and wheat are connected.The towers and terraces of the large gardens in Fanchuan and Duqu are hidden, and the flowers and trees are lined up, which is easy to attract the eyes.Except that I and my close friends talked about the rampant border disputes in the past ten years, and the people were miserable. After a while of indignation, I ignored the past.Recently, most of the fields cultivated by the people are barren, and most of the people who work in the fields are women and children.This is the case in the suburbs of Beijing, as can be seen in other counties.Gradually, I felt that the suffering of the people was deepening, and I was worried.Because I have been in Litian for 19 years this year, except for the occasional contacts with Zheng Qian and Wang Yi, Wei Ji and Zheng Qianyao each visited once in person, but neither of them returned to pay their respects, nor did they leave the suburbs of Beijing.Many natural and man-made disasters are still unknown.Hearing this, I suddenly recalled the prosperity of Kaiyuan in its heyday and the scene of desolation and decline at this time, and I couldn't help being surprised.He thought to himself: "If a country has internal troubles, there must be external troubles. What's more, the internal troubles are caused by the frequent use of foreign troops? If this continues, the Eastern Jin Dynasty will inevitably see the catastrophes of foreign invasions, quarterly regimes, and north-south confrontations, which will divide the great rivers and mountains. Today." The heart of sorrow is touched, and all kinds of worries are gathered.

Seeing her husband sighing and frowning every day, Yang repeatedly advised him to go out for a rest, or go to the city to visit friends. Du Fu also felt that it was useless to sit at home and worry about the country and the people.When visiting friends in the city, they will inquire about the world situation and government affairs. Although it is still useless, if they know more about the sufferings of the people and the opportunities for state governance and chaos, they can make plans for the future.After a little thought, he stood up as he said.Because they don't ask for anything from others, they are also willing to receive them, and they haven't seen each other for a long time, but they are not as cold as before.Du Fu stayed at Zheng Qian's house several times successively, and even after seeing many acquaintances, he only asked Shuhan, the frontier general.An Lushan and his ilk often built frontier meritorious deeds and gained a lot, and good news spread from time to time.Every time the imperial court rewards, it is often in the tens of millions.As for the good governance of how to settle in exile and caress the old and the weak, I can't ask a word.The extravagance and vying for wealth of many wealthy and aristocratic families are even worse than before.There is a lot of construction work in the city all the year round, and the city is full of clouds, and the singing and dancing are often all night long, day and night.The cost of serving meals for the rich and noble families will be the property of ten middle-aged families.This is different from the misery and desolation in the countryside.I haven't experienced the appalling scenes of luxury and luxury like the five families of the Yang brothers and sisters and the traitor Li Linfu and other nobles. I only went to Zhangbagou outside the city to enjoy the coolness with the appointment of two noble sons. Cui Huitong, the son-in-law of the princess of the country, spent half a day in the vicinity of Nanshan for banquets, and felt that these people should not persuade the people to use the splendor of food utensils that ordinary people can imagine, but the orchid boats and emerald mantles when they travel.The prosperity of brocade cable teeth and Caiyu chariots and riders also made passers-by stare and show off to the fullest, which made his mood heavier day by day.

The weather was hotter that year. After the good rain before the wheat harvest, there was only one rainstorm that stopped in a blink of an eye when enjoying the cool air in Zhangbagou.Besides, since the end of April, the sun has always been scorching, and not even a drop of rain has fallen.The water in the nearby streams and rivers is almost dry.On a hot day, another hailstorm and two strong winds came suddenly, and the hard-working crops on weekdays were even more hopeless.After all, Du Fu is a scholar, even though the drought is over, relying on the temporary comfort of food and clothing, he just let nature take its course.However, due to natural disasters, man-made disasters, and changing state affairs, he was agitated by the idea of ​​fame and fame, so he took some poems and essays to donate to the Taoist priest, and then made plans to make suggestions.Afterwards, I saw that these powerful families with whom I have come and gone can only win food and drink against their will, and there is still no chance for fame and fame, and I have not heard any news about the national economy and the people's livelihood.After a long time, I got bored again.This day, I intend to go to the villages in the north of Weibei to have a look around. First, I will find an acquaintance at Yanqiu Gate and stay there for the night.Early the next morning, I got up on foot.

The hot weather in Chang'an in early August has not subsided, and the rice in the fields has long since died of drought, and the soil has dried into a very fine powder.A little bit of wind will fly all over the ground, spinning endlessly.No matter how strong the wind is, puffs of yellow sand cover the sky from time to time, sticking to the face and clothing, choking the nose and confusing the eyes, which is unbearable.There is no shade in the trees beside the road, the leaves are all yellow and fallen, only clusters of dry branches are left, like random arrows, piercing the air and slanting, shaking endlessly in the wind and sand, rustling.

Xianyang Bridge is in the northwest of Chang'an, across the banks of the Weihe River, and was the avenue leading to the Western Regions at that time.The people who were conscripted on the frontier often had to pass by here. Du Fu saw that the vegetation was withered and yellow, and there was more floating sand along the way. After walking not far, a lot of sand was filled in his shoes and socks, and his clothes gradually turned yellow.The place so close to the capital is actually full of desolation, which makes people feel the suffering of the world.I remembered that I had come to Weibei because I sent Sun Zai out as a county lieutenant.Occasionally seeing the spring tree in the evening cloud, I miss the scene of Li Bai who is far away from the east of the river, vaguely as in the present.At that time, although the countryside had been demolished, the smoke from cooking in the ruins was still reflected in the slanting sun, and the tall willows beside the road were still taking advantage of the evening breeze.Today is the startling sand morning, the fields are empty, only Xiao Sa is everywhere.Since the famine in the coming year will easily lead to chaos in the world, not to mention the imperial court's advocacy of luxury has become a trend.The frontier generals are greedy for their merits and false rewards, causing disasters and harm to the people, resulting in empty treasuries and high prices.The vitality has been lost, and it is difficult to save.Seeing that tens of thousands of Li people are suffering from exile and death, it will be difficult to preserve this majestic imperial capital forever.The more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable I felt. I walked across the long bridge over the Wei River without realizing it.I was about to go along the wilderness path to visit some elderly people in the villages near the foot of the mountain, when I suddenly heard the sound of wailing and noise along the way, mixed with the sound of galloping horses and horses shaking the field.Looking back in shock, a large group of people, horses and vehicles suddenly came from the side of the road and bridge, and they were not moving fast, because there were so many people in disorder, rushing and trampling each other. The bridge covered more than half of it.In addition to driving and riding, followed by a group of recruits with bows and arrows on their waists.There are still many old and weak women and children looming in the ten feet of yellow dust, one by one, rushing forward along the sides of the bridge with their hands tied together, and rushing towards the recruits with bows and arrows hanging on their waists.The military academy escorting the recruits yelled at these old and weak women and children and beat them with whips.There were two desperately chasing forward, just hugging the person they were chasing, and scrambling past all the military academies, tearing and beating them all the way, tearing them apart, leaving behind the beaten old and weak, threatening the beaten Hold the person on the road.A poor woman inside was beaten and pushed by the soldiers, she fell back and fell into the river.The sound of screams and wailing came from the shadow of the dust and mist, which was extremely painful.Although Du Fu was filled with righteous indignation, he knew that these were recruits recruited by the government to go to the border, and the escort to the military academy was more vicious than wolves and tigers.If you block the way a little, you will be whipped, which is unreasonable. If you step forward at this time, you will be humiliated for nothing.Because he wanted to save the poor woman who fell into the water, he went around to the bridge along the side path.When I approached the bridge, I saw that the riverbanks on both sides were dry and cracked, and there was only a muddy current in the middle of the river that was not more than ten feet wide. The poor woman who had just overturned in the river was gone.While looking around, I heard the rumbling of cars and the rustling of horses. A group of fierce military academy escorted thousands of unkempt and tearful recruits had already passed the bridge and rushed to the post road ahead.The dust clusters rolled up by the large group of people and horses surged up a large yellow cloud and rolled forward.The entire Xianyang Bridge is also shrouded in dust and fog, and it has not stopped.The cries and shouts on the bridge were even more severe, but no one could be seen.I couldn't help it for a while, and rushed to the bridge with smoke and dust.After walking for about half a mile, the smoke and dust on the bridge gradually subsided, and only then did we see that there were old, weak, women and children who had been injured and knocked down by the military academy all the way.Some are almost fainting.On the ground on the left side, a recruit and a woman were desperately hugging each other; a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl hugged her leg tightly, panting and crying hoarsely.The clothes on the bodies of the husband, wife, mother and daughter were all torn, and there were stripes of welts on their backs.The woman's hair was disheveled, and her face was still bleeding.Because of rolling around in the dust for a while, shouting and turning, blurred with blood and tears, he no longer looks like a human being.Another eight or nine-year-old child was so anxious that the corners of his eyes were covered with red threads, and his eyeballs seemed to be protruding. Jumping and howling, it looks very pitiful.At the same time, I found that a military school next to them was showing their power to the four young and old, waving the long whip in their hands, and there was a crackling sound of the whip, which was shockingly ear-piercing.He couldn't stand it anymore, and when his anger grew stronger, he tried to endure the humiliation and planned to go forward to persuade him.

The military academy pointed to the three people on the ground and shouted: "Do you think I'm really unpopular? I don't have any money with me, so go home and get it for me. You won't even pay two liang of silver. Don't say that I can't do business, even if I run away." It’s impossible to go to other places. Could it be that in order to save you, you can’t ask me to beg and go home?” The recruit, who was hugged by his wife and rolled to the ground, was in his fifties. Hearing the words, he cried out hissingly: "The villain has been forced to guard the border by Li Zheng since he was fifteen years old. The Lord is merciful and sent me back to my hometown. I had just lived in poverty for two years, and was drafted for the second time to farm in Anxi. I was forty-seven years old last year. Fortunately, I was sent back. It was very easy to find me in the broken kiln. His wife and children were sent to the army by officials after less than a year. The villain should have been conscripted for many years, and the sufferings of the soldiers are all known, but my family can't even eat chaff, so how can I have money to give it to you? The villain does not borrow his life, but this mother-in-law and two children who have been guarding me for many years really make me unable to leave them ruthlessly. I beg the military master to be merciful and spare the four lives of my family!"

The military academy said angrily: "Which one is not difficult in the days of chaos and famine? I just whipped you just to show them. I wanted to help you and your wife, but you are against me instead? If you don't listen to good words, I will kill you." Beat the couple to death!" As he spoke, he swung the long whip in his hand more and more urgently. Du Fu saw that the military academy was only yelling and cursing to get angry, the whip in his hand was crackling against the wind, and he didn't hit the two people again, knowing that it was just for money, remembering that he had a few taels of scattered silver with him, he went to the military academy, Prepare to speak.

The middle-aged woman hugged her husband and cried, "We have been hungry since last night, how can we give you any money? Please forgive me, Lord Military!" The military academy shouted: "If you were not poor, you would not be arrested Go to the army. Don't I know this? But I really can't do business today. Even if you ask relatives and friends, you have to bring it to me. If there is any delay, even if I want to let you go, it will be too late gone." Du Fu could see that the military academy seemed to know that a man and a woman on the ground could not be squeezed, not only asked for a reduced price, even the whip in his hand was weakly thrown to the ground, but there was still an anxious look on his face.A few days ago, I heard rumors that in recent years, there are many conscripts, even the old and the weak are often arrested by force, and most of them are sold by officials and military academies. It really is true.He hurriedly took out two pieces of scattered silver, and took the opportunity to say: "This family of four is really pitiful! At his age, he doesn't have the energy to go to the conscription anymore. Please let him go back! I will give away all the scattered silver around me." How about you?"

The military academy saw that the silver could not be forced, and the woman hugged the man tightly, despite the threat of whipping and threatening to die, she was already planning to give up and leave.Suddenly, someone answered the question and returned the money on his behalf. I don't know that Du Fu went to visit friends in the city yesterday. Tian Wen's attire has been completely changed, and he mistakenly thought that he was someone with a history. More or less, he quickly took it, hurriedly made a couple of sentences, and rushed under the bridge in a panic.The toddler standing next to him stretched out his little hands, and rushed towards the fallen parents to hug them. The three people on the ground, the old and the young, let go of their hands, pulled the young boy, and knelt down to Du Fu together, they couldn't say a word when they asked eagerly.Du Fu comforted him again and again before standing up together.During this delay, some old and weak women and children who had been pushed and knocked down along the way had already recovered one after another, and those who had fainted were also awakened.Some, with dusty and tear-stained faces, were dejected, sobbing and walking back home.Some saw their relatives gone far away irretrievably, were overwhelmed with grief and indignation, and lost their minds, so they gritted their teeth and pointed at the way of the group of people, hopping and cursing, like madness.After a while, they were all persuaded to go back.For a while, mournful sounds filled the road.Of the four young and old who had just stood up, two of them were seriously injured, hungry and tired, and had difficulty walking.Du Fu needed help and support to move forward.This time he fell behind. Du Fu originally wanted to inquire about their experiences, but he saw that the husband and wife were weak and exhausted, and they were panting when they walked.The two little sisters were also crying and dumb, unable to answer a word.I couldn't bear to talk, so I had to support the girl and pull the boy to walk back together.I was about to cross the bridge and find someone to borrow a place to rest, buy some soup and food, let the four of them have some food, and then send him back to the idea; The poor woman, dripping with cement and yellow all over, climbed ashore from the river beach beside the bridge roaring.Just remembering the poor woman who was pushed down by the military academy and fell into the river just now, she had already rushed to the opposite side, looking at the dust head on the north bank far away, she asked, "Your old man was snatched back, my miserable husband will never be seen again in this life." It's gone!" Tears welled up in his eyes when he said that, and he couldn't stop crying.The two old couples hissed and compared their hands, and tried to persuade them again and again, the poor woman stopped crying and scolding, and helped the injured person to go on the road together with her sobs. The poor woman Liu Siniang's husband, Liu Zhuang, was over forty years old and had been taken away by the conscription officer long ago.The man Du Fu rescued was named Cao Sang, nearly fifty years old, with white beard and hair. He had just been exempted from military service in Anxi and returned to the farmland last year, but was arrested and sent to the border by officials.Cao's wife, Mrs. Zhou, and their two young children were unable to save their lives. They stayed on the bridge overnight and hugged her husband tightly when he passed away. She was escorted to the military academy and whipped. She refused to let her die. Although she was seriously injured, her husband was taken back.Most of the soldiers newly captured this time are old and weak. Except for those who can sell their land and clothes, bribe them and escort them to the military academy to sell them secretly, the rest will chase after their term to see off their parents, wives and children, crying and screaming, no one cares.Both families lived in earthen kilns at the foot of Nanshan Mountain.The place used to be a mountain village. In recent years, people have fled one after another, and the houses have been empty.There used to be fields, but because no one cultivated them, the fields were full of thorns.There are some old and weak women and children who have no land to cultivate, and they are extremely greedy and cruel, even worse than jackals and tigers. Although there are many abandoned fields, they dare not plant them.There is no shortage of cattle and farm tools, so I have to go to the mountains to collect grass roots and wild ferns, and linger on.When the local area is normal, there will be troubles and threats.If Cao Sang wanted to go back to the dark and dirty cave again, he would inevitably avoid future troubles.Liu Siniang also has a thirteen-year-old son who fled to the mountains a few days ago, and may be arrested by the officials in the future.Food and clothing are so difficult, and I am very worried about the future. Du Fu got a general idea from Liu Siniang, and his heart felt bitter.Knowing that Liu Siniang fell into the shallow water of the river, she even drank two mouthfuls of mixed soup.The remaining four, old and young, struggled and shouted under the scorching sun and wind and sand, their voices were hoarse and thirsty, and it was difficult for them to ask questions.On the one hand, they were stopped and they were not allowed to open their mouths. They took out all the scattered silver around them and distributed them according to the number of people. Because the six members of the two families had to find another place to live and it was inconvenient to accompany them, they told them that they would not be able to live in the future. You can go to Duling to visit each other and other words.After another three miles, they saw that the five people, old and young, supported each other, crossed the wilderness and rushed to Nanshan, and they had gone far.Xin Fang sighed, and was about to go back, when he looked up, the daylight flickered.Just as Ren stood staring, the sky was already covered with dark clouds.Gusts of gusty wind blowing rocks and sand, making the sky dim, shadows sank, and people couldn't stand still.As soon as the wind had passed, the bean-sized raindrops slanted down from the sky like arrows, hitting the ground with dust everywhere, making people feel rustic.The five suffering people who ran across the fields before had disappeared.In a panic, he caught a glimpse of an earthen cliff beside the road. There was a depression under the cliff, and the ground was high, so he rushed to the cliff to avoid the rain.It was windy and rainy, and in a blink of an eye the dust was holographic, and a large amount of water smoke was stirred up in the splash of mud.The four fields are dark and the eyes are vast, and the long bridge across the Weishui River is covered by wind and rain.The rain cement soup is like countless yellow snakes, scurrying all over the ground at different times.A depression on the side of the cliff has long been filled with rainwater, and when the raindrops hit the water surface, countless large and small retting bubbles pop up, one after another, like boiling water.It was just after noon, but the sky was so low that it was almost overhead, and at a glance, there was a sea of ​​fog in front of him.The humidity was overwhelming, hands and feet were cold, within half a day, it seemed like a different season.Fortunately, I stood on the side sheltered from the wind, otherwise it would be even more difficult.I thought to myself: "It's raining so hard, don't say that you can't go back dozens of miles away from home, and you can't even go to the city." There are still many miles away from the town, and there are no shops nearby, and I am hungry.In a moment of urgency, I thought to myself: "Just now a few poor people were injured and the road was even more difficult. How did they get there? It's not that they didn't pass by when they went down to the fields yesterday and this year. They just wore hats and capes, and they were close to home. Even afraid of wind and rain, how can I endure other hardships and hardships in the future?" At that time, my courage strengthened, and I immediately took off my long coat, scarf, shoes and socks, and planned to rush to the town ahead barefoot, looking for a shop to buy something to eat. So I took shelter from the rain, tried to borrow rain gear, went to the city for a night, and then planned to go home.See if you can grow something in this rainy field?Just rolled up the trouser legs and rushed down the shallow slope in front of the cliff, suddenly felt that the rain was pouring down like a big waterfall, and the air-conditioning was threatening.The first half of the yellow mud and shallow slope was washed by the rain, and the gravel on the ground hurt the feet.Panicked and hurried back, the soles of his feet slipped, slid down the slope, and landed in the pond in front of the cliff.Although the person was not hurt by the fall, his legs and feet had already been inserted into the cement.With a plop, the mud splashed all over his body and face.The wind and rain were fierce and vicious, and they invaded the muscles and bones, and I couldn't breathe. I struggled to stand up against the pouring rain in a panic, and rushed back to the original place, dripping all over my body, and I was in a panic.The clothes and caps that were rolled into a small bag before being prepared to get wet, the outer two layers are already soaked and stained with mud.There were also two cuts on the leg.I also remembered that the broken silver around me was gone, and I couldn't buy food even if I went to the town. I had no choice but to wait for the rain to endure the hunger and go to the city.Being angry and funny, his eyes suddenly lit up, lightning flashed out of the dark clouds in front of him, like a golden snake flashed twice, and then a huge thunderbolt fell from the sky, a large group of thunder and fire hit the distant field, and the air exploded. It looks amazing.The torrential downpour of the river that day seemed to be broken by the power of this earthquake.From then on, the lightning flashed and the thunder rumbled continuously.Gradually louder and farther away, the rain gradually stopped.The ditches on both sides of the official road were full of water, and the turbulent turbulent current rushed across the road, and even the slightest low-lying areas became flooded lands.The rain was still falling sparsely.The wet clouds in the sky are like galloping horses, rushing to the southwest with ups and downs.First, a piece of golden sunlight slanted down from the gaps in the clouds. After a while, the clouds cleared, the drizzle was all collected, and the sun was already westward.After the rain, the sun shines, and the mountains around Jiujun are purple and blue, and the haze is like a bath.In some mountains, there are three or two seemingly insignificant cloud piles attached to them, and the clusters of silver flocs are hidden between the red cliffs of the blue cliffs, which are very clear and beautiful.Because I was very hungry and it was late, it was even more difficult to rush into the city.In order to prevent the gravel on the road from hurting my feet, I simply put on my clothes and shoes, walked around the pond, took the official road, and rushed to the city with my body covered in mud.The torrential rain never moistens the soil, and the stronger it comes, the faster it recedes.In addition to the long-term drought, although the ditches on both sides are full of water, the dust on the official road has been washed away by the heavy rain.Just brush out one after another large and small shallow grooves, which are uneven but have many dry places.The sand is clear and the road is clean. On the contrary, it is dusty and dusty when I came here.It's easier to walk when you step on the dirt.Looking back at the long bridge lying on the waves, the Weihe River is full of water, and the turbid current in the middle of the river is almost overflowing the river bank.The setting sun of the setting mountain is reflected in it, the water is yellow, but there are white clouds floating in the river in twos and threes one after another.There are also pedestrians, carriages and horses on the Xianyang Bridge.I thought: "How gorgeous and tidy are the gardens and palaces in the south of the city and the imperial road leading to Lishan Mountain! This road leading to the border is left to be desolate and dilapidated without repairing it, so that the conscripts are still far away from the border. Wouldn’t the hardships of service be more likely to lower morale? Although the rain was good, the road surface was so dry, and the riverbanks on both sides of the river bank were not full, so it was clear that the rain was still not penetrating. This year’s drought, even if it is normal, it is inevitable that spring famine is inevitable. At this time The more the people are suffering, and when the wheat is waiting for the rain to plant, the wheat will not be successful, and these common people will have no way of life next year." The more I thought about it, the more troubled I suddenly heard the sound of hooves coming from behind.Looking back, two riders came behind, both of which were purple and very brisk.Two official cars followed behind the horse.Seeing that there were many ditches and stagnant water in this section of the road, he dodged to the side of the road to take shelter temporarily, wanting to wait for the carriages and horses to pass before leaving.The two horsemen approached one after the other.Feeling that the old man in front of him looked very familiar, he took a closer look and was surprised, and blurted out: "Duff!" It was Gao Shi who came.The first Fengqiu Wei, because of frequent conscripts by the imperial court and heavy ancestral taxes, the county captain was ordered by the imperial court to harass the people. He was really disturbed, so he had to resign and go to the right of the river , present-day Zhangye and Jiuquan in Gansu Province).Hexi Jiedu envoy Ge Shuhan saw a speculative contract, and wrote a special book to play him as Zuo Xiao's guard Cao, who was also in charge of the secretary.The imperial order has been issued, and Xin rushed from Wuwei to Chang'an official department to pay homage. Unexpectedly, the old friend reunited. He was so happy that he got off his horse and took Du Fu's hand. ? Did it rain just now?" Du Fu told the past.Before Gao Shi finished speaking, he ordered his servants to return to the horse, took out a set of clothes, shoes and socks from the luggage cart, and brought them over quickly. He took orders from others and hurriedly greeted the car coming from behind. Du Fu briefly talked about the other situation, then asked Gao Shi where he came from, how he has been in recent years, and whether he has seen Li Bai? Gao Shi gave an overview of the whereabouts of the farewell and the process of resigning from office and joining the army. Du Fu clapped his palms and said with a smile: "Brother Thirty-five, you are a brilliant man who has always been in the sinking, but today he escaped from being a captain and stopped beating those innocent people. Seeing you straddle the saddle, you are still as light and vigorous as you and I were when we traveled with Taibai back then. It’s really a pleasure. The ambition is not to be old, but the future is promising. Now that the country is in troubled times, people like you are required to work on the king’s affairs. This trip is more than just my brother’s congratulations!" While Gao and Du were chatting and laughing, Congren had already taken out his clothes, shoes and socks, and the car had arrived.As Du Fu's lower half of his clothes were completely soaked, it was inconvenient to change them on the way, so he thought about it in the city. Gao Shi smiled and said: "Look, the pedestrians on the road are far apart, so what's the hindrance to changing in the car?" Du Fu saw that his old friendship was long, so he had to follow. Gao Shi waited for Du Fu to change all his clothes, handed them over to his servants, and said to Du Fu, "These two horses are exactly the kind of 'Sa Lu Zi' that Emperor Taizong used to ride when he pacified the Eastern Capital, newly acquired from the Western Regions. , but it is also a steed. I wanted to invite you to ride with me to continue the joy of riding the bridle. One thing is that Brother Du is hungry at this time, and I am eager to say goodbye to you. There are dry food and dried deer in the car, and It's rare to see each other with good liquor. Soon I will return to Hexi. There are not many days to gather, and you and I will sit in the car and have a drink and chat. Isn't it more enjoyable than talking about poetry with wine in the past?" Du Fu changed into dry clothes, although he was not cold, after a long time, his stomach became more hungry, he promised with a smile.Gao Shi also got into the car, and ordered someone to take out dry food and preserved deer with wine, and talked with Du Fu while eating.Because he wanted to have a good talk with Du Fu, he ordered his servants to escort his luggage and go to the city to settle down.
