Although this poem is also transferred to "Six States Getou", the artistic conception is quite different from Zhang Yuhu's.Zhang Ci directly expresses the minds of people with lofty ideals, while this word expresses the feelings of children.In the poem, it is about a pair of infatuated sons and daughters who broke up helplessly and reminisce about the past, which is very sad.Cooperating with Shan Shan's graceful and gentle sword dance, it is really a combination of singing and dancing.Geng Zhao was intoxicated when he heard it, and couldn't help thinking of his cousin Qin Nongyu, and sighed secretly. Shan Shan slowly stopped dancing, handed back the sword, and asked, "My lord, why is there such displeasure on his face? I dare say my sword dance is too bad." Geng Zhao said with a smile: "You are both good at singing and dancing, let me drink with you. It is ten thousand times better than Han Shu. It’s just that I drank a few more glasses and listened to your lyrics, and I can’t help but think of some relatives and friends from the past.” Shan Shan smiled again and said: “Oh, that’s how it is. Who do you think of, But miss that jade-faced demon fox?" Geng Zhao pretended to be angry and said, "You're making fun of me again, I'll tell your lady someday." Shan Shan laughed and said, "My maidservant apologizes, sir, don't be angry, I'll do it again later. Not to mention the demon fox." Geng Zhao was thinking in his heart: "This girl is capable of writing and martial arts, she is skilled in swordsmanship, and she can interpret poetry. I don't know why she became someone's maid?" Of course, it is inconvenient for him to ask, just thinking about it, Shan Hu suddenly asked him: "Geng Xianggong, how old are you this year?" Geng Zhao's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly remembered Lian Qingbo. When Lian Qingbo met him for the first time that day, she also asked him his age.Geng Zhao thought to himself: "Could it be that she also wants to become brother and sister with me?" Then he replied: "I wasted eighteen springs this year." They had already drank the jug of fine wine to the brim, Shan Shan added another jug, drank two more cups, blushed with drunkenness, and suddenly sighed faintly.Geng Zhao couldn't help but his heart skipped a beat again, and asked, "Huanhu, what's wrong with you?" Shan Shan said: "Life is often unsatisfactory, um, then there is no need to talk about it." Geng Zhao was already six or seven points drunk, savoring the sentence "Life is often unsatisfactory", which aroused his own pain All kinds of sad encounters, I can't help but feel sad, and it's hard to stop, and I drink a few more glasses with Shan Shan silently. Shan Shan suddenly said: "Mr. Geng, do you know why I asked your age?" Geng Zhao said: "I don't know." Shan Shan said sadly: "I have a childhood friend. If he is still alive, he will be eighteen this year. old." Geng Zhao said: "What kind of person is he? Since you and him are close friends, why don't you even know his life or death?" Shan Shan said: "He is also like you, a young man with ambition. My neighbor had a sudden accident four years ago, and I have never heard of him since. Well, not only is he the same age as you, but he also looks somewhat similar; so when I see you, I can't help but think of him It's gone." Shan Shan had said that she didn't want to mention it, but she finally revealed some clues about her "sadness". Geng Zhaoxin said: "So that's how it is. She's drunk and worried about the old days, and she doesn't want to become brother and sister with me." He felt a little curious about Shan Shan's life experience.But he is a serious person, even though he is drunk, he also knows the taboos in the world, thinking: "Everyone has his secrets, and I don't want to reveal the secrets of my own life experience to others, so why ask her." Shan Shan said: "Mr. Geng, what are you thinking?" Geng Zhao said: "Nothing." Shan Shan squinted at him, then smiled suddenly: "No, Mr. Geng, you must have something on your mind, probably because I am a maid, Don't want to tell me." Geng Zhao was indeed aroused by Shan Shan at this time, so he thought of his own experience from Shan Shan's experience, and thought that he and his cousin Qin Nongyu were also separated from each other because of an accident, and Until now, it is not known whether the cousin is an enemy or a friend.This encounter was more unfortunate than that of the coral.Although he didn't know what kind of disaster Shan Shan had encountered, at least she still missed "that person", and she was full of love for that person in her words, obviously she didn't become an enemy like her cousin. Geng Zhao and Shan Shan have been together for the past few days, because Shan Shan has a bright and cheerful personality, and after getting along for a few days, they have become like old friends for many years.Geng Zhao never treated her as a maid.But even so, he was still unwilling to pour out his thoughts to her.Immediately, she was overwhelmed with words, and in a moment of anxiety, she hurriedly said: "Your martial arts are ten times better than mine, how could I look down on you because you are a maidservant? I was thinking—" Shan Shan said: "What are you thinking?" Geng Zhao said casually, "I was thinking—well, to hear you say that, you didn't grow up in Liu's family." Suddenly felt inappropriate - isn't this spying on the secret of her life experience? Coral didn't think he was presumptuous, and replied straightforwardly: "Yes, I didn't serve as a maidservant since I was a child. To tell you the truth, I did this maidservant voluntarily." She drank another cup, He continued: "I was just thirteen years old when I encountered a disaster. I was a lonely girl with no one to rely on. Fortunately, I was guided by an expert, so I took refuge in Gongsun Yin's sect and was willing to be his maid." Geng Zhao said "Isn't your lady surnamed Liu? Who is this Gongsun Yin?" Shan Shan smiled and said: "I didn't explain it to you beforehand, no wonder you were confused. This Gongsun Yin is a senior with great skills in the martial arts, and our young lady is his apprentice." Only then did Geng Zhao understand, and said: "Oh I got it." Shan Shan went on to say: "This Gongsun Yin is very talented and has a very weird temperament. He roamed the rivers and lakes in his early years, but after middle age, he suddenly closed his sword and retired, and rarely interacted with people in the rivers and lakes. Fortunately, I was able to find him with the guidance of an expert." He didn't want to take me in at first, but it happened that the young lady was at home that day. The young lady and I hit it off very well. She obeyed everything she said, so she said: "Okay, it's good to have a companion." From then on, I have been serving the young lady." Shan Shan said: "You don't want to tell outsiders about these things. Gongsun Yin doesn't want people to know about him." Geng Zhao said: "Don't worry, I will never talk nonsense to others." Shan Shan smiled: "I just believe in you. I told you. I have been with the young lady for the longest time. After the tortoiseshell, I entered the door a year. As for the other maids, they were accepted after the young lady made her debut. So the young lady has the best relationship with me and the tortoiseshell She sent me to see you off this time because she valued you very much." Geng Zhao said: "Thank you for your miss, and more for Miss Coral." Shan Shan glanced at Geng Zhao, and said: "You are very polite!" Suddenly she giggled coquettishly, but there were crystal tears in the corner of her eyes.Geng Zhao said: "Girl, you drank too much! It's time to rest!" Shan Shan was very drunk, raised his glass and chanted: "Putting a knife cuts off the water and the water flows even more. Raise the glass to relieve the sorrow and worry even more. Okay, I listen to you, you Don't drink too!" At this time, Geng Zhao's drunkenness was already seven or eight. Coral cleaned up the cups, waited for Geng Zhao to go to bed, and then walked away.Geng Zhao was drunk, his mind was racing, he thought of Qin Nongyu, Lian Qingbo, and finally Shan Shan.I thought in my heart: "The experience of this coral is somewhat similar to mine, but it is pitiful." After thinking for a while, the alcoholism broke out, and I was so tired that I fell asleep hazily. When he woke up, the red sun was shining through the window, and the coral was already urging him to get up in the room.Geng Zhao packed his luggage, went out with Shan Shan, and bid farewell to Tortoise Shell.Tortoisebi looked at them for a while, then suddenly gave a "puchi" smile. Shan Shan was surprised: "What are you laughing at?" Tortoise shell said: "Your clothes—" Shan Shan said: "What's wrong? This is the clothes I usually wear, what's so ridiculous?" Tortoise shell said: "Why don't you pretend to be a man Shan Shan said: "Pretend to be a man, you have to be careful to show your flaws every step of the way, I can't stand restraint." And said: "What am I afraid of, if someone dares to tease me, it will be his life." Tortoiseshell said with a smile: "You are very skilled in martial arts, so of course you are not afraid of being bullied by strong men. But you are not afraid, you are not afraid—" Shan Shan said, "What are you afraid of?" Tortoiseshell laughed and said, "You are still dressed like a girl, and you are not afraid of Mr. Geng. Walking together all the way, aren't you afraid that people will think you two are a young couple?" Only now did Coral realize that the tortoise shell was making fun of her in circles, and she couldn't help being coquettish, twisting the tortoise shell and saying: "It's unreasonable, you girl talking crazy, see if I don't tear your mouth. Mr. Geng, you are upright and upright, why are you afraid of other people's gossip?" Tortoise was so twisted by her that she couldn't breathe, and hurriedly said: "Good sister, please forgive me. I dare not talk nonsense anymore. Seriously, I have one more I'm counting on you." Tortoiseshell is mischievous by nature, she and Shan Shan are used to joking around, Shan Shan has a cheerful disposition, although she is a bit embarrassed, she doesn't think so, Geng Zhaoke blushes, and almost wants to propose going down the mountain alone, without Shan Shan sending him off.But after thinking about it, it would be more obvious that he was too stingy and took the joke seriously.I had no choice but to stay silent and hide aside. Tortoiseshell said: "I ask you one thing. When you return, please drop by my hometown to see if my brother has returned." Coral said: "What reward?" Tortoiseshell whispered in her ear. Said: "I'll be your matchmaker." Geng Zhao didn't hear this, Shan Shan jumped up again, reaching out to tear her mouth, Tortoise hurriedly said: "Don't make trouble, don't make trouble. I'll embroider two purses for you. Shan Shan said: "That's what makes sense." Unknowingly sighed again, and said: "You still have a hometown, and I don't even have a hometown." Tortoiseshell said: "Sister Coral, don't be sad, their men often say: a real man Why do you suffer from being homeless? You are a heroine, and I will use this mantra of their men to send you: Why do heroines suffer from being homeless?" Shan Shan said: "Thank you, but unfortunately I am not a heroine." Suddenly realized the words of tortoiseshell There are words in the words, and they have deep meaning.It's just that the word "thank you" has already been uttered, neither annoyed nor angry, so I had to give Tortoise shell another look. Tortoiseshell said with a smile: "Mr. Geng, Sister Shanhu and I are used to joking and joking. Don't take offense." After apologizing to Geng Zhao, Geng Zhao couldn't laugh or cry, so he had to return the gift to her.Hawksbill was sent straight down the mountain before saying goodbye to them. Geng Zhao often played with his cousin when he was a child, but this was the first time that he went with a woman who was not related to him.Coupled with the tortoise shell's teasing remarks, I couldn't help but feel a little pimple in my heart, and I always felt embarrassed.Fortunately, Shan Shan was generous, talking and laughing with him along the way.The young man was open-minded, and soon, Geng Zhao put aside his worries, returned to his natural state, and no longer cared about Tortoise's words. The two traveled together, not feeling lonely, and before they knew it, it was dusk, Shan Shan knew the way, took him to a small town, and stayed in an inn. The innkeeper with a dirty head and a wretched appearance squinted his eyes and asked Geng Zhao: "We only have one upper room, one or two taels of silver a day, do you want it?" Geng Zhao said: "There is only one room, that can't be done!" The shopkeeper glanced at him, with a surprised expression, and asked in a strange voice: "Aren't you a young couple?" Geng Zhao blushed, and quickly shook his hand: "No, no." The big silver ingot threw it on the counter with a sound of "dang", and said, "We are two brothers and sisters. It is best that you give us two rooms connected to each other. This ingot of snowflake silver pays for the room first. I will reward you." This ingot of silver is worth twelve taels.The innkeeper smiled, bowed and bowed hurriedly and said: "The villain is ignorant, he said something wrong, sir, forgive me, ha, what a coincidence, there happened to be two connected upper rooms, the guest just moved out, I didn't think of it for a while, just happened I will leave it to you. Mr. Mr. Gao, your surname is Gao, where are you from, and where are you going!" Geng Zhao said two names indiscriminately, and he and Shan Shan thought they were a pair of brother and sister visiting relatives in other counties, and wrote in the hotel register. up. The two closed the door, Shan Shan bent down with a smile, and said: "Seeing that we are young, the shopkeeper dares to think that we escaped privately, escaped privately...well, he is worried that we have no money to pay Room and food." Geng Zhao also guessed that the shopkeeper was suspicious of them, because they didn't behave like a couple, a man and a woman staying together, so it's no wonder people misunderstood them as eloped men and women.But when Shan Shan said it without restraint, Geng Zhao couldn't help but blush again. Shan Shan said: "Mr. Geng, in order to avoid people asking more questions, I recognize you as an elder brother. Can you blame me for Gao Pan?" Said: "Wouldn't that break me!" Geng Zhao said: "You are the daughter of a good family, you are far better than me in everything, I'm afraid I'm not worthy of you." Shan Shan said: "My husband said so, I have no choice but to obey You." He asked Geng Zhao's birth date, which happened to be two months older than her.Shan Shan called her "Big Brother" instead, and Geng Zhao also called her "Sister".The two pinched earth for incense and paid eight obeisances.Geng Zhao was grateful for her care, and thought that by becoming brother and sister, they could avoid many embarrassments in the future, so this betrothal was really out of his sincerity.But after sworn in, I couldn't help but think of another "righteous sister" Lian Qingbo, and thought to myself: "I don't know where Lian sister is now? Alas, whether she is a friend or an enemy is still unclear." Shan Shan said: "Brother, what do you think?" Geng Zhao knew that she had a deep dislike for Lian Qingbo, and he didn't want to mention it to her, so he said, "I don't think this shopkeeper is a good person." Shan Shan said: "Just sleep peacefully, I'll just be more careful tonight." There is a door connecting the two houses, Shan Shan opened the door and said, "If you need anything, you can call me." Say good night to Geng Zhao, and each rests. Geng Zhao had just come out of the Jianghu, he had always heard people say that the Jianghu was dangerous, and he had a bad impression of the shopkeeper, he was a bit suspicious that this was a black shop, thinking wildly, tossing and turning on the bed, always unable to sleep.Sleeping in the middle of the night, he suddenly heard the sound of rustling, and Geng Zhao jumped out of bed with a shudder in his heart.At this moment, I suddenly felt the breeze, and there was already one more person in the room. Geng Zhao was startled, and the man whispered, "It's me." It turned out to be Coral.Coral rubbed the flint, lit the lamp, and asked, "What's the matter?" Geng Zhao said, "I heard the voice of a night traveler. Hey, listen..." Coral suddenly smiled "puchi" and said, "This It's not a human." Suddenly there was a gossamer-like golden light flashing, and with a "squeak", a mouse sprang out from the corner of the wall, jumped twice, and remained motionless, it turned out that it had been beaten to death by the coral's plum-blossom needle. Shan Shan smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, sleep at ease." Geng Zhao blushed and apologized: "I made such a fuss, and I hurt my sister so I couldn't sleep peacefully." I'm used to it." After Shan Shan left, Geng Zhao blew out the lamp and went to bed again.Hearing Xi Suosuo's voice suddenly again, Geng Zhaoxin said: "There are so many mice in this room." Of course he wouldn't make a fuss this time, alarming Shan Shan, although he thought the mice were annoying and didn't take it to heart, he soon fell asleep . Coral also heard this sound in her own room, and she was taken aback.It should be known that although Coral is the same age as Geng Zhao, her Jianghu experience is much richer than Geng Zhao's. The sound of mice walking and the sound of people walking at night can be distinguished as soon as they enter her ears. It is the sound of the wind in the skirts of night travelers! Shan Shan was afraid that Geng Zhao would be afraid, and didn't want to wake him up, so she gently opened the window and jumped out.Her lightness kung fu was superb, and she landed silently. At this time, Geng Zhao was already asleep and didn't notice it at all. Coral jumped onto the roof, and from a distance, she could vaguely see a faint figure in the southeast corner. Coral flew over several layers of tiles, and that man was not under her control. After chasing for a while, she kept the original distance. Male or female, old or young, can't be seen clearly, it's always just a hazy shadow.Shan Shan was startled suddenly, and thought: "Don't fall into the enemy's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain!" He hurried back, first went to Geng Zhao's room, only to hear Geng Zhao snoring loudly, sleeping very peacefully.Only then did Coral let go of the stone in her heart, and went back to her room to sleep.But this night she dared not close her eyes all night. Waking up early the next morning, the two left the inn and hurried on their way again.Seeing that Shan Shan's eyes were red, Geng Zhao felt very sorry, and said: "Those mice are really annoying. They woke you up last night, so you couldn't sleep afterwards!" Shan Shan said: "It's nothing, we are used to wandering in the rivers and lakes." A little sleep is enough." She was afraid that Geng Zhao would be worried, so she never told him about the night walker she found last night. Fortunately, for the next few days, the journey was safe and sound.Geng Zhao got Shan Shan to give advice when he was in trouble, and also gained a lot of knowledge about the world, and he was even more grateful to her. On this day, we arrived in Wuyi, which was already the junction of Hebei and Shandong. According to Penglai Witch's order, Shanhu sent him out of Hebei, and the two were about to part.Unconsciously, Geng Zhao was a little bit reluctant, and said: "After Wuyi, we will have our own things. Sister Coral, let me treat you to a glass of wine to express my gratitude to Brother Yu. Thank you for your hard work." Coral smiled and said: "We brothers and sisters are still so polite! However, when we get here, I should have a farewell drink with you." Wuyi faces Langya Mountain, and its back is Tuyang River. When the two entered the county town, they chose a restaurant near the river to drink.Wuyi is the main road between Hebei and Shandong provinces, there are quite a lot of customers in the restaurant, the two had a few drinks, and suddenly saw a little girl holding a pipa, leading a blind old man to their seat, the old man Said: "Please help me, Daddy, let this little girl honor your old song." Geng Zhao saw that he was pitiful, gave him a piece of silver, and said: "Okay, you can sing any song you want." The little girl tuned the strings, and sang in a graceful voice: "The shade of the willow is straight, and the smoke is green. On the embankment of the Sui Dynasty, I have seen it several times, and the water is blowing to see you off. When you visit your homeland, who knows the tired guests in Beijing. Changting Road, every year, should be folded over a thousand feet..." This is the first twist of Zhou Meicheng's (Zhou Bangyan) long poem "Lanling King". Zhou Meicheng was at Li Shishi's house, and suddenly Emperor Huizong also "fortunately" visited Li Shishi's house. Zhou Meicheng panicked and hid under Li Shishi's bed.The emperor brought fresh oranges, saying that Jiangnan had just paid tribute, and asked Mr. Li to try new ones.Afterwards, Zhou Meicheng wrote a poem "Youth Tour", which said: "A knife is like water, Wu Yan beats snow, and a slender finger breaks a new orange. The brocade tent is warm at the beginning, and the scent of beasts is constant. Sitting opposite each other, I asked in a low voice: Xiang Who is going to stay? It’s already three o’clock in the city. The horses are slippery and frosty, so it’s better to rest, because few people go.” In the poem, the scene of the emperor and Li Shishi’s laughter in the boudoir is vividly written, and later Emperor Huizong also saw it When he found out that this poem was written by Zhou Meicheng, he was furious and demoted Zhou Meicheng from abroad.Two days later, Huizong went to visit Li Shishi again, but Li Shishi was not there, and she came back after waiting for a long time, saying that she was sending Zhou Meicheng.Huizong asked: "Did he have any lyrics before he left?" Li Shishi said: "There is a poem by King Lanling", and sang this poem to Emperor Huizong again.After hearing this, Huizong was overjoyed and said: "Bangyan will never forget the old king." He recalled him and appointed him "Dasheng Lezheng". On the one hand, this poem is full of hatred for parting, and on the other hand, it is nostalgic for the homeland. It fits Geng Zhao's state of mind at this time, and he feels melancholy, so he can't help but drink a few more glasses.I only heard the singer continue to sing the second part again: "Looking for the old traces, drinking wine while mourning, and leaving the banquet with light. Then count the posts, and hope that people are in the north of the sky..." Geng Zhao recalled the scene of drinking with Shan Shan in the study room that night, and said sadly: "After we parted ways today, we are really far apart, and we are really far apart. I'm afraid we won't be able to meet again." Shan Shan said: "Brother, I hope Take care all the way." The two of them walked a long way together, and their relationship grew stronger day by day, although it was not necessarily a love affair between a man and a woman, but when they were about to break up, both of them couldn't help being full of sadness. Just when their hearts were full of melancholy, they suddenly heard someone from the other seat shouting loudly: "The sloppy voice is disturbing. Brother Ximen, you are leaving soon. Brother Meng, I am sorry to trouble you. Please, Ximen How about big brother singing us a song again?" Shan Shan looked displeased, and said annoyed in his heart: "Where did the evil guest come from, he speaks without words!" Looking around, he saw four guests sitting next to him, all of them were rough and bold men, one of them had a beard like a halberd, and his appearance was particularly special.At this time, the singing girl hadn't finished singing yet, Geng Zhao said with a smile: "There is no need to sing, Qin Zheng Yanzhu, it is rare to hear it, we coincide with the meeting, we should listen to the elegant performance." It turns out that "Zhu" is an ancient musical instrument. When the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period were in dispute, Jing Ke was ordered by Crown Prince Dan of Yan to assassinate the Emperor Qin. His friend Gao Jianli once played Zhu to see him off. In the cold, the strong man will never return" has been passed down through the ages.Since Gao Jianli, this musical instrument has gradually been lost, and it was even rarer to see it in the Song Dynasty.So Geng Zhao couldn't help but be amazed when he heard the rough and rich guest sitting next to him want to play this ancient lost musical instrument. I saw a man in yellow put an ancient and clumsy musical instrument like a phoenix on the table, and said with a smile: "Brother Ximen's chanting is really rare to hear, we will leave today, and there will be no future. In order to attract jade, I have no choice but to I'm so clumsy." This man has a rough appearance, but his speech is very elegant. The man put on the copper ring and flicked it lightly, only to hear the clanking and congcong, the music was high-pitched, resounding and restraining the clouds.Geng Zhaoxin said: "Sure enough, he is a master." At this moment, the bearded man stood up and sang loudly: "Golden cups of sake are worth ten thousand dollars, and jade plates are worth tens of thousands of dollars. You can't eat when you stop the cup and throw your chopsticks, draw your sword and look around My heart is at a loss..." The song was "Difficult to Journey" by Li Bai, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty. , it seems that this person is an unusual person!" But he didn't know that Shan Hu was more surprised than him.Geng Zhao just admired the man's singing, but Shan Shan could tell from the man's frenzied singing that he was a master of martial arts with profound internal skills. The man with the bearded man's singing took a few twists and turns, getting higher and higher, until he sang "I want to cross the Yellow River and the river is blocked by ice, and I will climb the Taihang Mountains covered with snow", and suddenly the voice fell down, like a gossamer coiling in the air, changing into The leisurely and elegant artistic conception, and then sang: "Come to fish on the Bixi River, and suddenly come back to the boat to dream of the sun." But after these two sentences, the voice suddenly became thick and sad, and it seemed even more desolate and gloomy, "It's hard to travel. ，行路难！多歧路，今安在？”一连四句短句，听得令人几乎忍不住要跟他狂歌高吟！忽地又是声音一变，从沉郁苍凉，变得激昂慷慨，将李白“行路难”的最后两句唱了出来：“长风破浪会有时，直挂云帆济沧海！”这两句一唱，将苍凉气氛一扫而空，声如金石，当真似是直上云霄，听得人血脉沸腾而又心胸开阔，耿照不禁击节叫了一个“好”字，就在这时，忽听得“铮”的一声，那黄衣汉子推筑而起，乐器上的弦线已断了一根，那虬须汉子的歌声，也倏然停了。 那虬须汉子抱拳作个罗圈揖，向耿照这张桌子投了一眼，笑道：“下里狂歌，贻笑大方了！” 坐在主位的那个汉子说道：“孟兄之筑，西门兄之歌，堪称并世双绝，今后不知何时方能有此耳福了。”另一个汉子道：“听说笑傲乾坤华谷涵的狂笑，也是当世一绝，西门兄此行，不知能否会见此人？要是碰着此人，一个高歌，一个狂笑，倒可以较量一番，为武林添一佳话。”耿照听了，心头一动，暗自想道：“蓬莱魔女曾经说过，狂侠华谷涵此人，游戏风尘，有如神龙之见首不见尾，当今之世，知道他的名字的，只是有限几人，怎的这一些人也知道他的名字？听他们的口气，难道竟都是武林中大有身份的人物？” 那虬须汉子道：“陆兄弟过誉，我怎敢与笑傲乾坤相比，不过，我听说他是当世奇人，倒很想与他一会。”那姓陆的汉子道：“西门兄无乃太谦，焉知这姓华的不是浪得虚名？耳闻是假，眼见方真。前日有人从蓟州来，发现他的仆人白修罗曾在该处出现，想来华谷涵也可能在那一带，吾兄路过蓟州，不妨打听打听。”那虬须汉子笑道：“我此行吉凶祸福，尚难预料，虽有与笑傲乾坤相会之心，却无此闲情逸致了。” 那坐在主位的汉子道：“西门兄一向豪气干云，怎的今日说出这等丧气的话，该罚三大杯！”虬须汉子笑道：“吉凶祸福，人所难测，我说的是实话，却并非畏怯，并非丧气！”但他虽然辩解，却仍默饮了那三杯罚酒。又一个汉子道：“这也是真话。嗯，人间本是多歧路，如此江湖不忍看。怪不得西门兄要高歌'行路难'了。”那主人笑道：“西门兄既高歌'行路难'，不如不去也罢。留在此间，咱们兄弟再作平原十日之饮！”那虬须汉子哈哈大笑道：“多谢主人盛情，但这条路还是非走不可。” 那击筑的汉子忽道：“主人该罚三大杯！”那坐在主位的汉子诧道：“为何该罚？”击筑的那汉子说道：“你听不出西门兄的歌意，李白这首'行路难'不错是说行路之难，但歧路险途，绝难不倒英雄豪杰！那首歌最后两句怎么说的？'长风破浪会有时，直挂云帆济沧海！'对'长风破浪'的豪士，行路又何难之有？主人不解歌意，还不该罚？” 那坐在主位的汉子也哈哈大笑道：“好，该罚该罚！请阖座陪我同饮三杯，祝西门兄长风破浪，直挂云帆济沧海！” 众人豪兴勃发，欣然举杯，同声说道：“好一个长风破浪会有时，直挂云帆济沧海，大家干了！” 虬须汉子一饮而尽，掷杯笑道：“多谢众兄弟给我饯行，我该走啦！大家都别送了！”就在众人大声祝贺他“长风破浪”之声中，离开座位，大踏步走下酒楼。 珊瑚目不转睛地盯着那虬须汉子，耿照虽然也觉得那汉子是个异人，对他甚为注意。但耿照究竟是个官宦人家的子弟，习惯讲究礼貌，心里想道：“一个女孩儿家这样定了眼睛望男人，容易惹人误会，最少也有失礼之嫌。”心里觉得不妥，却又不好对珊瑚明言，便拿起酒杯碰一碰珊瑚的酒杯说道：“贤妹，咱们再喝两杯，也该走啦。”珊瑚心不在焉地拿起酒杯“嗯”了一声，酒杯并未沾唇，又放下了。这时，那虬须汉子正从他们的座位旁边经过，也不知珊瑚是否听到耿照说些什么，总之她的全副精神，似乎都已放在那虬须汉子身上。 那虬须汉子走下酒楼，身躯微俯，露出挂在腰带上的一个绣荷包，这荷包是用五色丝线所绣，鲜艳夺目。当时的风气，出门人的银钱都是放在“褡裢”（包袱）里面，只有富贵人家子弟才用荷包，放一些自己心爱的零碎东西。这汉子带着一个绣荷包，与他的豪客身份，实在是大不相称。不过耿照欠缺江湖阅历，他自己又是富贵人家，多精致的绣荷包也是见惯了的，对这豪客的荷包，虽也感到“抢眼”，却并不怎样放在心上。 珊瑚突然间把一双眼睛睁得又圆又大，竟似呆了，耿照见她神情有异，正自莫名其妙，珊瑚忽地“啊呀”一声，叫了出来，他们所占的是一个临窗的座头，耿照来不及问她，只见珊瑚已蓦地推开窗门，就从窗口跳了下去。 酒楼上的客人哗然大呼，耿照也吓得慌了，忙着便要下楼追赶，店小二大叫道：“喂，喂，你们还没付钱哪！”登时涌上几个人来，要揪耿照，耿照急忙取出一锭银子，道：“不必找了！”顾不得再顾礼貌，推开众人，索性也从窗口跳了下去。酒楼上议论纷纷，有人说道：“这两个男女准是私奔的，敢情是碰到了熟人，跳楼逃跑！哈哈，真是为了恋情，性命也不顾了。”这些难听的话，好在耿照没有听见。 耿照跳下街心，只见珊瑚已跨上马背，往前疾驰。耿照也急忙上马追赶，珊瑚这时才发现耿照在她的后面，回头说道：“大哥，对不住，我有要紧事，一时忘记招呼你啦！”耿照听了，心里满不是味儿，但也因此惊疑不定。要知珊瑚一路之上，对他都照料得十分周到，现在却忽然抛下他，连打个招呼都忘记了，可见这件事情，在珊瑚心目之中，一定是比护送耿照还重要得多。 耿照纵马疾驰，好不容易追上珊瑚，连忙问道：“瑚妹，什么事情？”珊瑚只说了一个“追”字，耿照道：“到底追谁呀？”珊瑚道：“追那虬须汉子，快，快，追上他再说！”耿照怀着闷葫芦，只好跟着她跑。好在虬须汉子没有走得多远，追了一会，到了郊外，便发现那汉子正在路上。exactly: How about knowing the future?Please listen to the breakdown next time.
