Shi Hai's legacy

As soon as Du Fu got off the carriage, he hurried to the posthouse where Li Bai lived.At this moment, he didn't care about his dusty face and disheveled clothes, he just wanted to see Li Bai soon.

Four years, four full years.Du Fu's longing for Li Bai continued unabated.For four years, he always had the image of Li Bai dancing the sword that night in his mind.Li Baiwu's sword always reminded Du Fu that when he was a child, he was lucky enough to see a woman's sword dance at a banquet. He still remembered that woman was called Aunt Gongsun, and she was a remarkable person.

Don't you see Gaotang Mingjing's sad white hair, the morning is like blue silk and the evening is snow.When Du Fu saw Li Bai again, he truly realized what Li Bai felt when he wrote this sentence.How come you have so many gray hairs in just four years.

The two looked at each other in silence, and after an unknown amount of time, Li Bai broke the silence between the two of them: "Don't be dazed, Zimei, let's go drink."

After drinking for three rounds, Du Fu seemed to be drunk. He fell on the wine table and kept mumbling to himself.

Seeing him like this, Li Bai put down the wine glass in his hand, got up and walked to Du Fu's side, put his ear to his mouth, trying to hear what he was saying clearly.

"Too, Brother Taibai, don't go, don't leave me alone..."

Li Bai's bushy eyebrows twitched into a ball, and he replied, "Why would I leave you alone at the wine table. Come on, get up, and I'll carry you back to the posthouse." Du Fu carried him on his back.

Du Fu buried his chin in Li Bai's neck, felt his warmth, and gradually felt relieved.

"Brother Taibai, do you know what I'm thinking." Du Fu said suddenly.

Li Bai felt that Du Fu was very drunk and was talking nonsense again, so he asked with interest: "I don't know, what are your thoughts?"

"It also corresponds to a poem, the mountains have trees, and the trees have branches..." Du Fu pondered.

Li Bai seemed to suddenly understand what Du Fu wanted to express, so he hurriedly interrupted him and said, "Zimei, don't talk about it. If you continue talking, we don't even have to be friends." He naturally knew that the next line of this poem is It's "Your heart pleases you, you don't know it", it was sung by a man thousands of years ago when he expressed his heart to the person he admired.But he never expected that Du Fu, whom he had always referred to as a confidant, would have such thoughts for him.

When he arrived at the posthouse, Li Bai put Du Fu on the bed, covered his back, and stood by his side for a long time.Zimei, you and I are destined but have no share. I am cold by nature and only love myself. I am afraid that I have failed your heart.

After Li Bai turned and left, Du Fu suddenly opened his eyes that should have been closed.I planned to confide my heart through drinking, but I didn't expect that before I said it, I was completely rejected.Du Fu stretched out his hands to cover his eyes, his body trembling uncontrollably.

Is it true that I expect too much?

Due to the drunkenness, Du Fu fell asleep until the next morning, recalling last night, he couldn't remember when he fell asleep.After getting up and washing up, he knocked on Li Bai's door.

Li Bai was still on the bed at this time. He wanted to get up and open the door, but he remembered the half-line of the poem Du Fu read yesterday. He looked down at his messy clothes, and he didn't feel his heart fluttered. He hurriedly said, "Zimei, go back first Wait in the room, after I finish washing, I will go to the next door to find you."

Du Fu didn't know Li Bai's panic, he just laughed at the door and said: "Brother Taibai is always informal, why are you so cautious today?" Then he went back to the room with a lonely face.

Not long after, Li Bai packed up and pushed open the door of Du Fu's room.

"Zimei, I plan to visit some famous mountains in Yanzhou in the near future."

"I'll go with you." Du Fu became emotional at the moment, did Li Bai want to take this opportunity to get rid of himself?

Li Bai nodded and added, "I just wanted to invite you to go with me."

Du Fu was dubious, but he didn't intend to delve into Li Bai's words, he just asked, "When are we going to leave?"

"Let's pack up and leave tomorrow."

In the next three months, Du Fu and Li Bai "drunk and slept together in the autumn, and walked hand in hand with the sun." They walked through mountains and rivers, recited poems and wrote Fu, recklessly and happily.Li Bai's concern and love for Du Fu is increasing day by day, but he doesn't mention a word of love.Is he trying to make up for his guilt towards me, or is he really attracted to me?Du Fu couldn't figure it out, and he didn't want to figure it out later.

At the end of autumn, one day, Li Bai suddenly said to Du Fu: "Zimei, let's leave now. You have a passion that has not been realized, and I also have something to pursue."

"But..." Du Fu wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Li Bai again.

Li Bai said: "There will be a long time in the future, and we will still have a chance to meet. Besides, you can still write to me, and I will receive it."

Seeing that Li Bai had reached this point, Du Fu stopped bothering and decided to leave.When the two waved goodbye, Li Bai said: "Zimei, no matter what, you will always be my friend."

Just friends?Du Fu thought.Friends, forget it, friends are also very good, friends are enough.

Later, during the Anshi Rebellion, Du Fu saw too much life and death. He was sad at first, and then numb. Suddenly one day, he asked himself, where is Li Bai now?Could he also be one of the people in misery, if one of the hungry people everywhere is Li Bai, what should he do?Then he realized that he couldn't change the fate of the common people, but he could at least give a helping hand to the people he saw. If he did this, maybe there would be people like him in another corner of the Central Plains. He also helped Li Bai.He is saving the people, and he is also saving his beloved.

After several turmoil and running around, the young man with gray hair and green temples has returned. Although he is here now, there are thousands of snow in the sky.The war finally subsided, and Du Fu was no longer young. When he said goodbye to Li Bai, he never thought that it would be a permanent farewell.Carrying Li Bai, remembering Li Bai, I don't know when, the old friend who died has become the sustenance of his life.

He wrote a poem and named it "Reminiscence". He recalled the scene when he and Li Bai Gaoshi climbed the wine to the top.

Du Fu copied a copy of the poem and burned it to Li Bai. He thought, Brother Taibai, I wonder if the war and hardships have sublimated my poems?If you have knowledge under the spring, I don’t know if your soul can fall into a dream at night, and discuss poetry with me in detail?

The author has something to say: I remembered seeing a Weibo post by Teacher @白花和红霞 on Weibo, she said:

At the age of 23, Li Bai wrote "The mountains follow the plains, and the river flows into the wilderness".Many years later, at the age of 53, Du Fu wrote "The stars are flat and the fields are wide, and the moon is surging and the river is flowing".Maybe we can speculate on the emotions in this way: I use my lonely old age to miss your bright youth.

I think it's very well written, so I'd like to share it here.
