第91部分(第3页)

So far one might expect to find

Wild forest denizens there; trained

To serve in place of humankind。

Without a hoary crane might stand

As warden of the outer gate;

Within a long…armed gibbon e

To offer fruit upon a plate。

But enter; there refinement reigns;

Brocaded silk the lutes protect;

And burnished weapons on the walls

The green of pines outside reflect。

For he who dwells within that hut

Is talented beyond pare;

Although he lives the simple life

And harvest seems his only care。

He waits until the thunderous call

Shall bid him wake; nor sleep again;

Then will he forth and at his word

Peace over all the land shall reign。

Liu Bei soon arrived at the door of the retreat; dismounted; and knocked at the rough door of the cottage。 A youth appeared and asked what he wanted。

Liu Bei replied; 〃I am Liu Bei; General of the Han Dynasty; Lord of Yicheng; Imperial Protector of Yuzhou; and Uncle of the Emperor。 I am e to salute the Master。〃

〃I cannot remember so many titles;〃 said the lad。

〃Then simply say that Liu Bei has e to inquire after him。〃

〃The Master left this morning early。〃

〃Whither has he gone?〃

〃His movements are very uncertain。 I do not know whither he has gone。〃

〃When will he return?〃

〃That also is uncertain。 Perhaps in three days; perhaps in ten。〃

The disappointment was keen。

〃Let us go back; since we cannot see him;〃 said Zhang Fei。

〃Wait a little time;〃 said Liu Bei。
