Chapter 19 The Night Talk on the Building Boat
The boat was sailing quietly in the river at night, and the soft water splashed on the boat, making a gentle sound. Even late at night, there were still lanterns on the aisle on each floor outside the boat.
Through the lantern paper, the yellow lights rippled slightly on the lake water.
Lorran Hill opened the door, walked out of the house, and came to the walkway outside, holding the vermilion fence, overlooking the deep river water with wavy lights below, and a little drinking and laughing sound came from the deck at the stern of the boat in the distance.
She touched her arm, then went into the room and found a coat and shawl, covering her shoulders, so that she could walk out in the direction of the sound.
The voice gradually became clear, it was the voice of several middle-aged men.
"The river is moving and the colorless, and the night is fading to wait for the dawn..." Someone seemed to be drunk and said a poem that looked like a murmur.
"Hahaha, Brother Jin won't have another cup."
"No one will die in a hundred thousand silk scarves, and I will sing and drink to chase after the rest of my life."
"I dream of good in heaven..." There was a hint of vicissitudes and nostalgia in my voice.
"I won't say it anymore, I won't say it anymore, come on, keep drinking." The voice next to me continued to persuade, as if to comfort me.
When Lorran Hill walked out of the aisle, the scene where the sounds were located appeared.
The four of them sat on the four sides of the square table. The table in the middle was filled with messy dishes. There were many empty bottles of wine under the feet behind them. As the ship rolled slightly, they occasionally met and made a slight sound.
One of them was Yu Baichou. He held the wine glass and shook his head slightly, as if he was sighing something. Beside him was a strong man in black cloth, his dress and expression were somewhat similar to Yu Baichou. He was holding the man on the other side, occasionally patting his back, as if comforting him.
The man who was comforted was wearing a blue cloth shirt and a messy scarf on his head. Although he was holding a wine glass in his hand, he seemed to be half drunk and half awake. The tears on his face had not yet dried up, and he spoke indecipherable poems.
The last person was wearing a red-brown robe, holding a wine pot, and pouring wine for the other people on the table. He also said some words to persuade him to drink.
These people are not young anymore. The youngest one looks about forty, and the older one seems to be fifty or sixty, and white silk can be seen vaguely in her hair.
It was already deep in the night, and the fields were silent, with only the occasional cicada and toad sounds from both sides of the shore. A few lanterns were hung by the wine table, illuminating the few people below.
Lolan Hill walked slowly over, and Yu Baichou also looked up and saw the familiar lady.
"Doesn't you wake up at night?"
"Yeah, I want to come out for a walk."
"Okay, it's a pity that there is no moonlight now. If it were before, it would be a blessing for the moon viewing." Yu Baichou continued to answer, and then said to the people next to him.
"It's getting late, why don't you be here today."
The other people looked at their drunk companions and the leftovers that had fallen off the table, and nodded.
"Oh, that's fine, just come here. I'll help Brother Jin to rest, and then I'll ask Brother Fan to find someone to clean up."
After saying that, they also slowly stood up, shaking towards the aisle, slowly disappearing into the night at the corner.
Looking at the empty tables and chairs, only Yu Baichou was left at this moment, Lolan Hill said with some shame: "Did I disturb you from drinking?"
"Ha, it's okay. But it's really not too early, it's time to part." Yu Baichou put down his wine glass and stood up.
The night was distant and there was no end. He placed his rough big hands on the railings and looked at the dark distant view of the river at the stern of the boat.
"Life is so short..."
"Did Uncle Yu remember some past events?" The girl walked slowly to the fence not far away, and also looked at the river in the darkness.
"Yes, just now I heard about the past of another person in the same table-mate just now, and I unknowingly remembered some of my old things." He seemed to be quite emotional.
"It's the one who just sat opposite me, who recited poems and cried."
"He was named Jin Huanian, a man from Hedaizhou. When he was a young man, he was also a leader in the high school and entered the world's top-notch Imperial Academy. At that time, he was full of energy and was so happy that he vowed to travel the world and cross the mountains and rivers."
"But this is like this, day and night. Looking back today, my head is covered with white hair."
"Although I am not as literary as him, I also feel quite emotional. As I grow older, my father, brother and uncle who once relied on have entered the age of beards, looking around the walls, no one can rely on anymore."
"He said that a few days ago, when he was young, he went out with his boy friend in the wild to search for the past of the beautiful woman. But after waking up from the dream, only pain remained in his heart."
"Because he can no longer go back to that age and time. The things he wanted to pursue in the past are now still there, and he can't run away. His body is getting older, his spirit is getting exhausted, he climbs up and pants, and he is unable to walk far away. He can only regret it, he goes back to his chest, holds the railing and sighs at the moon."
"After hearing this, I felt sad and sad." After Yu Baichou finished speaking, he walked to the table and picked up the wine pot, poured another cup, and drank it into his mouth.
"It made the eldest lady laugh, but a group of frustrated people only became sad."
After hearing this, Loran Hill placed his chin on the back of his hand covering the fence, and did not say a word, looking at the river water on the surface.
She wanted to comfort her uncle, but she didn't know how to speak.
Lamenting the changes in the world and time, and then telling him if this is reality. How can it be considered a perfect life and how can it allow you to live this life without regret? Even if it is her, there is no good answer.
Everyone has different experiences and temperaments. It is extremely difficult to find a life principle that is suitable for everyone and is common throughout the world.
Sometimes even if you are full of ideals, it may become another flavor in a few years, and then slowly dissipate and no longer like it. Occasionally, accidents, mistakes, changes, and passing are always filled with the journey of life.
I often regretted afterwards, and regretted not choosing the right direction at the beginning. Unfortunately, time is gone, and no matter how much regret it is, it is impossible to save it.
"Repentance is inevitable." She raised her head and reached into the night wind.
"Is there anyone else in Uncle Yu's family?" She remembered what Yu Baichou said just now, and it seemed that there were some things in the family that made him think about.
"Yes, I have my brother and younger brother in my family, but they are all ordinary people. My elder brother planted a barren mountain in his hometown, and my younger brother opened a restaurant in a small town to do some food business."
"After the elderly at home left, our brothers got together less and less. Sometimes when we went there, occasionally looking at the strange eyes of a few nieces and nieces, we would feel that it is not appropriate to stay for a long time."
"I have been traveling around almost all my life, and my brother and I have been living in the towns of my hometown. Many ideas and ideas are different, so it is difficult to talk about them again."
"Now when I was a teenager, the three of us often went out to play together, fought with others, and experienced many things together. But in the end, we gradually got away, and we were speechless when we met and had nothing to talk about."
"Sometimes I would also wonder, if I hadn't come out to make a living and stayed in my hometown like them, would it be better? Perhaps now I'm full of children and grandchildren and live a quiet life."
"Does Uncle Yu regret it?" the girl asked.
Yu Baichou did not answer immediately, but watched the night mountain scenery quietly.
"I do feel a little sad, but if I want to make a new choice, I will probably still embark on this road." There was a lot of nostalgia in my voice.
"The unwillingness and stubbornness of youth, the activeness and curiosity of youth, and the satisfaction and pride of having some strength when they are young, just like a river flowing, are all unavoidable experiences."
"Even if he dies in a foreign country one day and no one takes care of him, he will feel that his life will be worthwhile." When he said this, he seemed to have untied some of the things he had suppressed in his heart.
"Hahaha, so that's it, so that's it, so that's it." The man stood at the stern of the boat and laughed to the sky, his voice spreading far away from the quiet river.
Then the aura on his body gradually changed. In Loran Hill's observation, it seemed that he had advanced?
So after waiting for a while, the momentum of the man gradually stabilized and slowly gathered.
"Uncle Yu understands what." Seeing the man in front of her turn, her eyes were like a clear stone in the dark night, bright and energetic.
"I understand the obstacles and obstacles in my heart in the past, and today I feel refreshed." A smile broke out on Yu Baichou's rough-rosted face.
"Although I was brave and powerful in the past, I always had a trace of scruples and regrets in my heart, which made me hesitate at critical moments."
"I left home when I was a teenager. I had no achievement that I could be proud of in middle age. I always felt guilty when I went home. When my parents passed away, I felt deeply that I had not fulfilled my filial piety. If I had been by my side for a long time, what would have been the scene."
"When fighting with others, I thought that I had no children yet. If I died, wouldn't the incense be cut off and no one would sacrifice it?"
"All kinds of mental disorders stay in my heart for a long time is like running around with iron on my back, and I can't enjoy it. Wouldn't it be better if the other path I chose back then? I often feel regretful."
"Now I look back by chance. If I go back to that year, I will make a new choice. Will I really stay at home with peace of mind? Will I really log into a famous sect?"
"I'm afraid it's still not possible. If I stay at home, I'm afraid I'll regret it even more when I'm old and regret not coming out to see it. With my background and knowledge, even if I enter a famous sect, I'm afraid I can't communicate with those noble disciples and gradually become marginalized, instead of now, people who have similar backgrounds and agree to the cooperation will drink and talk to each other."
"So, all the illusions have disappeared, and I am still me, and there is no need to regret it anymore."
Looking at the uncle who was well-thought, the girl was slightly happy.
"It's great that Uncle Yu can figure it out." In her observation, the uncle's sequence level in front of him also gradually changed from Sequence 3 to Sequence 4.
In fact, he must have been staying on this stairs for a long time, but he has never been able to break through his heart disorder.
"Thank you, Miss Luo sometimes gives me a lot of inspiration." Yu Baichou suddenly thanked.
"Me?" The girl was a little puzzled.
"Well, I was actually a little worried at the beginning, because a young lady like you is probably willful and difficult to get along with, haha."
"I have met many noble officials and nobles when I was working in the Cao Gang, and some of them really gave me this impression."
"Later, I saw that you were gentle and understanding, so I let go of these things. Later, I saw that you had no family around you and couldn't remember your past, and I was afraid that you would cry alone and be sad."
"I am a rough man and I am not very good at comforting people. I can only be helpless in the face of such a thing."
"But later I saw Miss Luo so free and easy, safe and unwilling to care, but instead felt like I was obsessed with it."
"Do you have to remember everything and achieve every regret in order to have a happy life?"
"I thought it was, but now it seems that it is not. It's just a lock I put on myself."
"It is indeed worthy of joy to get it, but even if you lose it, don't sleep in regret?" the girl tried to ask.
"Yes, hahaha." Yu Baichou slowly stroked his short beard.
"It's true, but it's still a bit difficult to do it." The girl thought so. In fact, she felt that she was not as strong as Yu Baichou said.
"Yes, it's a bit difficult, but this is practice, chasing the infinite and invisible way with a flawless and tangible body."
"Try to win over the endless?" The girl looked at the vast mountains and fields in the night.
"That's right." Yu Baichou replied, his voice was straightforward and decisive.
