The river ship arrived at the port of Xiaguan in Nanjing, which was not the destination of the Hanyang river ship and its ultimate destination was Shanghai.

Coming down from the No. 4 pier in Xiaguan, it was already more than five o'clock in the evening, Feng Xuan and Xiao Linghu were both coming to Nanjing for the first time, although Xiao Linghu had the address of the Xiao Mansion given to him by Xiao Huang, but his eyes were also black, and he didn't know where to look.

Seeing that it was about to get dark, Tang Song kindly invited the two of them to stay at his house for one night, but Feng Xuan insisted on staying in a hotel, and Tang Song did not force him to stay.

Xiao Linghu was a little hesitant, he thought that when he found the Xiao Mansion, it would definitely be dark, and it would be a little inconvenient to go to a house full of women in the dark. The most important thing is to feel embarrassed, after all, he is only Xiao Huang's adopted son.

He wanted to go to a hotel with Feng Xuan for one night, but after the showdown on the ship, although he said things he didn't mind, there was still a little estrangement in his heart, and after hesitating for a moment, he still decided to follow Tang Song and stay at his house for a night.

The three of them broke up on the cross street, Xiao Linghu saw that Feng Xuan was about to disappear into the corner of the street with his camphor wood box, and suddenly he was a little reluctant, he knew this farewell, and he might never see him again. Nanjing is so big, and there are so many people, if you don't leave a contact information, it will be really difficult to see you again in the future, unless it is so coincidental again, you can bump into it on the street.

"Wait a minute!" Xiao Linghu finally couldn't help but shout.

Feng Xuan stopped on the side of the street and turned his head.

Xiao Linghu walked over quickly, took out a small piece of paper from his coat pocket, then took out a pen, copied the address on the paper again in the palm of his hand, tore off one and handed it to Feng Xuan, and said to him: "Big brother, this is where I will live in the future, if you are still in Nanjing, when you are done, you can come to me!" ”

Feng Xuan was suddenly a little moved, thinking about how he was indeed using this brother, and there was a little less warmth, now although the matter was broken, Xiao Linghu did not want to get along with him, and still cared about a trace of family affection. Memories of his childhood came back to his mind again. Feng Xuan squeezed the note tightly, did not say another word, but cordially stretched out his hand, patted Xiao Linghu on the shoulder, and nodded vigorously.

"Hehe, if I can be admitted to the Central Military Academy, I will definitely stay in Nanjing for a long time! If I can't pass the exam, as soon as the results come out, I will go back to the army, and you will definitely not find me! Xiao Linghu said truthfully, and he looked a little unbearable to leave.

Feng Xuan said: "I believe in you, you see, you can write so well, and you will definitely be able to pass the test!" ”

"It doesn't matter if you write well or not!" Xiao Linghu said.

"As long as you work hard to revise, you will definitely be able to pass the exam!" Feng Xuan affirmed.

Xiao Linghu smiled and waved his hand at Feng Xuan: "Let's go!" Take care! After saying that, he quickly crossed the wide road and returned to Tang Song's side.

Feng Xuan also waved his hand to them, I don't know why, when he saw Xiao Linghu leaving him, he suddenly had a strong sense of loss, as if he was determined to get something, but he lost it because of his own negligence, it was a pity and heartache.

****************************

The next day was a rainy day, which made Xiao Linghu feel very uncomfortable, no way, spring in Jiangnan is like this, the rainy season has arrived. He said goodbye to Tang Song, carried an umbrella, and carried a suitcase to Shuiximen alone according to the address written by Xiao Huang.

At this time, he put the small square package that Yizhimei gave him into the suitcase, and that night at Tang Song's house, he secretly opened the package, which was a wooden box the size of a book, with a palm high, but the box was locked, and he didn't want to destroy the box, so he had to let go of his curiosity and wait for the convenient time to pry the lock open.

Tang Song's home is located near Xuanwu Lake, which is also the seat of many central government agencies, and there are many schools nearby, the most famous of which is Central University, which is located at the foot of Jilong Mountain in the south of Xuanwu Lake.

Shuiximen is in the Qinhuai River near Mochou Lake, walking more than six kilometers, which is equivalent to a circle around the northwest side of Nanjing City, but I am afraid that it will not be able to walk in two or three hours.

Tang Song told Xiao Linghu that he could walk to the north gate of Central University, where he could take the city bus No. 5 operated by the Jiangnan Company to Gulou, and then transfer to the No. 3 bus to Hanzhongmen. Finally, take the 12th bus, you can get to Shuiximen, and you have to reverse a total of three times all the way.

In any case, taking a bus is always much more pleasant than walking, and it is not expensive. If you look for a rickshaw to pull it over, not to mention whether the driver is willing to pull it for such a long distance, even the car money will cost more than a dozen yuan, which is better for Xiao Linghu, who loves money like his life, it is better for him to walk over by himself.

Holding an umbrella and walking near the north gate of the Central University, Xiao Linghu inquired about passers-by, and soon found the inconspicuous bus stop on the side of the road, next to the stop sign, there was a small stall selling tea, supporting a bamboo shed that could shelter from the rain and sun, just because it was morning, there were not many tea customers, but there were a few people who were also waiting for the bus standing inside to avoid the rain.

Xiao Linghu came out of Tang Song's house, walked a mile, although he was wearing an umbrella, but his body was still wet, he walked into the tea shed with a suitcase, put away the umbrella, and sat down when he saw that there was an empty seat, Dr. Tea came over with a teapot and asked him if he wanted to drink tea, he looked at those who were sitting, there were tea bowls in front of him, and those who were standing also had rules, obviously they didn't buy tea.

Xiao Linghu has the heart not to drink tea, but he also knows that if he doesn't drink tea, he can't sit, and he doesn't know when the bus will come, and it doesn't cost much to ask for a bowl of tea, but it's only ten copper plates.

"I gave the tea money!" Suddenly, a voice came from nearby.

Xiao Linghu was stunned for a moment, and looked at it casually, it was the young man sitting at another table shouting. This young man is wearing a dark black student uniform, a row of buttons are neatly buttoned, and he is wearing a brimmed student hat on his head, he is not much older than Xiao Linghu, his face is handsome, his nose is straight and his mouth is wide, but he does not lose a sense of beauty, especially his eyebrows, which are thick and inverted in the shape of a figure-eight, like sword eyebrows, and also like standing eyebrows, which are very distinctive, and people can't forget them at first sight.

Dr. Tea had already made a bowl of tea for Xiao Linghu, and the steaming tea was fragrant, which made Xiao Linghu, who had just experienced the rain, feel a trace of warmth in the warm and cold spring.
