CHAPTER XXI

"Deng Si'er! What's wrong? What happened? ”

Chu Jing shouted anxiously when he saw Deng Si'er.

Looking at it from a distance, only Deng Si'er stood on the bank of the river and waved at the two of them, but no one else appeared.

Zuo Idiot and Chu Jing couldn't help but feel strange, they originally thought that Deng Si'er suddenly screamed because he was attacked, since there was no one around Deng Si'er, why did he shout?

Deng Si'er heard Chu Jing's shout, turned around and waved to them, and ran in the direction of the two of them.

When the three of them met, Zuo Idiot looked at Deng Si'er's intact appearance, and asked suspiciously:

"What's going on? How can you shout like this? ”

Deng Si'er panted while pointing behind him, and said in an unsteady tone:

"Later, I was washing my hands by the river, and there was a man lying on his stomach in the grass over there, which scared me! The man was soaking wet, and he didn't know if he was dead or not, so go and see. ”

After Zuo Idiot and Chu Jing listened, they immediately walked quickly around Deng Si'er's side and walked towards the place where he pointed to check.

Deng Si'er also hurriedly followed, but he didn't get closer, just stood a little farther away, stretching his neck to look.

It's good that you're not dead, but it's so bad luck when you die. I don't know how long I soaked in the river, but Deng Si'er could still smell the strange smell coming from the distance.

"Not dead yet!"

Zuo Idiot checked it a little and found that the person was not dead, and even if he helped the person up, Chu Jing also went up to help.

The left idiot poured the man's true qi for a while before putting the man down and making him lie flat on the clean grass.

"It's okay, it's not a big deal, it's just that he choked on water, I gave him a real gas, and he should wake up after a while."

After Zuo Idiot finished speaking, he looked at Deng Si'er, Deng Si'er hurriedly turned his face to other places, and said in his heart, I won't help you.

Seeing this, Zuo Idiot could only look at Chu Jing again, and said:

"Uncle Jing, can you help carry him to the fire?"

Chu Jing has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and he still doesn't mind this matter, nodding at the moment, he picked up the people on the ground and walked towards the fire they had set up before.

"Hey, Lord Zuo."

Deng Si'er saw Chu Jing walking past him with the unconscious person on his back, so he turned to look at Zuo Idiot and smirked, but it was a flattering face.

Zuo Idiot let out a soft "hum" in his nose, and then bypassed Deng Si'er by himself, ignoring him.

Along the way, Deng Si'er has always been lazy and lazy, but all the hands-on work is done by Zuo Idiot and Chu Jing, but Zuo Idiot is the son of a wealthy and powerful family, where can there be so much?

So, basically, Chu Jing was taking care of the two of them all the way. Getting along day and night made Zuo Idiot and Deng Si'er have changed their attitude and psychology towards Chu Jing.

Soon after departure, Deng Si'er had already changed his name to Chu Jing "Uncle Jing", and the left idiot had been calling him by his name awkwardly, under the influence of Deng Si'er, Zuo Si'er fortunately also called with Deng Si'er, and it was easy to get used to it.

"This person looks kind, but some books are angry."

Deng Si'er sat by the fire roasting sweet potatoes, he turned his head to look at the unconscious man, his wet clothes had been changed, and his relieved face was pleasing to the eye.

"Maybe it's a showman, maybe he went to Beijing to catch the exam, and he didn't want to suffer." Chu Jing also said.

"Xiucai?" Deng Si'er is strange, can this also be seen?

"Now that the autumn exam is imminent, it is normal for students from all over the world to go to Beijing to catch the exam. But I don't know why he fell into the water for no reason, if he hadn't met us, he would have been more than lucky. Zuo Idiot nodded and said.

Deng Si'er looked at Zuo Idiot, and then turned his head to look at Chu Jing, the two of them sang and said to themselves, they couldn't help but be a little impatient, and shouted in a loud voice:

"Why can't I see he's a showman?"

Zuo Idiot was close to the unconscious man, so he reached out and raised the man's right hand slightly, and said to Deng Si'er:

"You see that he has calluses on his index finger and ring finger, although it is not thick, but it is not thin, it must be caused by holding a brush for a long time to write, and you don't know my dynasty selection system, I divide the spring test and the autumn test, the spring test is the primary election, the autumn test is the main test, and only those who pass the spring test can participate in the autumn test."

"It's so troublesome."

Deng Si'er listened to Zuo's words and felt that it was really not easy to read. Unlike him, when he was a child, his father also sent him to a private school, but Deng Si'er was restless in it, and he was forced to return by the people in the private school, and he didn't accept it!

"Uh-huh, ahem"

Suddenly, the unconscious man moved.

The three of them immediately turned their attention to the newly awake reader.

"You, you, you."

The scholar opened his eyes and saw the nearest Zuo idiot, and just wanted to sit up, he saw Deng Si'er and Chu Jing staring at him, and suddenly fell back in fright.

"Who are you? Don't kill me! The reader hurriedly said in a panic.

Zuo Idiot just wanted to reach out to comfort him, but he didn't expect that when he saw Zuo Idiot's hand stretched out, he said hurriedly:

"I didn't see anything! Don't kill me. ”

Zuo Idiot frowned, what did he see, it would cause death?

"Hey, I say, you're a reader, why do you talk nonsense when you open your eyes! We saved you with good intentions, and you still lied to us. ”

Deng Si'er spoke angrily while pulling out the sweet potato he threw into the fire with a wooden stick, and directly gave it to the panicked reader.

"Hey! It's burning me. ”

The reader coldly took a freshly roasted very hot sweet potato, put it in his two hands and kept changing, and he couldn't hold it anymore before putting it on the ground, blowing straight into the reddened palm, and his face was red.

Seeing this, Deng Si'er laughed.

Chu Jing saw that this scholar was really a little pitiful, and said in a slow tone:

"You don't have to be afraid, we have no ill intentions and we won't kill you. But you, how can you be so good that you will be hunted down? ”

Seeing that the three people in front of him were not like the people who were chasing him, the scholar let down his vigilance a little and said:

"Thank you for saving me, I'm not embarrassed, I seem to have misunderstood you just now."

Deng Si'er saw that the reader was stunned when he spoke, so he stood up and walked over funny, picked up the roasted sweet potato that was placed on the ground by the reader just now, put it in the reader's hand, and said:

"This will be just right, eat it while it's hot. By the way, who are you and why are you being hunted down. ”

The reader glanced at Deng Si'er gratefully, picked up the roasted sweet potato and broke it, he was unconscious for I don't know how long, as soon as he smelled the fragrance of the roasted sweet potato, he swallowed the spit before he started to eat.

The scholar took a big bite, sighed with satisfaction, and then looked up at the three people in front of him and said:

"My name is Du Qingyan, and I am a talent who has passed the spring exam in Tuzhou City, and I was originally going to Beijing to catch the exam and participate in the autumn exam."

After speaking, the reader picked up the sweet potato and took a big bite.

Tuzhou?

Zuo Idiot frowned, as if he had thought of something, and then asked:

"Tuzhou? In this way, the college you studied in is"

Before the sweet potato in the reader's mouth was swallowed, he said vaguely:

"Well, it's Chongyang Academy."

Deng Si'er was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Zuo Idiot and Chu Jing, and frowned when he saw them.

Chongyang Academy? Isn't that where they're heading?

How could it be such a coincidence?
