After all, half a year away from home, it is spring when the grass and trees are growing, and the grave is already full of wild grass.

Lu Lifu knelt in front of his parents' grave and told his brother the news of high school. Speaking of Ahri, he finally lived up to his father's advice, and when he urged his brother to study, he was even more choked up and couldn't make a sound.

Lu Sheng listened to this, but the scenes of so many years of domination by his sister's stick came to his mind, and he couldn't help but burst into tears inexplicably.

After paying homage to their parents, the Lu Sheng brothers and sisters returned to their huts.

Because the thatched hut is in the middle of nowhere, I haven't come back for half a year. So the villagers didn't find out that the Lu Sheng brothers and sisters went home quietly.

After a simple tidying up, the hut was barely able to live in.

It's just that the big hole above the head is so sad no matter how you look at it.

The air was damp and stuffy, and mosquitoes were dancing wildly. In Lu Sheng's previous life, even if he didn't pay attention to material life, he would definitely not be able to endure such an environment.

"Brother, it's sorted out, we'll be here tonight, and when it's early tomorrow morning, I'll ask Brother Adong to help us repair the roof, and I'll borrow some rice from Aunt Dong." Brother is an official now, and they should be happy. ”

Ahri crossed his fingers and said firewood, rice, oil and salt in an orderly manner, at the age of fifteen or sixteen, he could be so sensible.

"It's good to look at it, it's just that there are so many mosquitoes in the house, just live in it and you'll be sucked dry...... Also, if it doesn't rain tonight, it's fine, but if it does......"

"Boom—"

There was a sudden explosion of thunder.

The sky quickly changed color, and it looked like a pouring rain.

"Brother-" Ahri stared at Lu Sheng with angry eyes.

"You can't blame me for this, it's going to rain......"

"If it weren't for your golden words, how could it rain?"

"I'm not God, how can I say anything......" Lu Sheng was very aggrieved, and he didn't want it to rain.

"You are a Wenqu star, of course you are a golden mouth. You said it was going to rain, did Lei Gongdian dare not listen?"

Looking at Lu Li's expression of course, Lu Sheng was speechless.

Ranked thirty-three on the first list, is there a lot of Wenqu stars?

The rain poured heavily until dark, and Lu Sheng and Ahri huddled at the only table in their home and looked at the dripping roof.

The dignified new science and technology jinshi, the house leaked overnight, how desolate.

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed through Lu Sheng's mind, and an excited smile appeared on Lu Sheng's face.

"Brother, I'm almost crying, why are you still laughing. ”

"Ahri, did my brother get the official disc in early March?"

"yes. ”

"It's almost May now, which means that my brother still has two months of silver to receive. When the rain stops tomorrow, my brother will go to the yamen to collect the money. ”

"Really, how much is two months of silver?"

"The rank of nine grades, the monthly reward is five taels, and the two months are ten taels of silver. Ahri, do the math for me, what can you buy for ten taels of silver?"

"So much?" Ahri's eyes suddenly lit up, "Ten taels of silver can buy twenty bags of rice, you can buy fifty pieces of cloth, you can ......"

"Can you build a tiled house?"

"This ...... It doesn't seem like it works, but it's okay to fix the hut. Great, tomorrow we won't have to live in a leaky hut. ”

"But let's survive tonight. ”

Lu Sheng sighed softly, and the water under his feet was already more than a foot.

If it had been pouring rain, the table he was sitting on would have floated for rowing in less than midnight.

The brother and sister have always relied on each other like this, and they have lived more difficult days.

When the two of them were hoping that the rain would stop soon, suddenly, a strong wind arose from their side. Before Lu Sheng could understand what was happening, Ahri instantly picked up the stick behind the door and turned into an afterimage and hit him.

The fierce battle sounded, and Lu Sheng realized that a man in black had come at some point.

The speed of the two was as fast as lightning, and they had already exchanged seven or eight moves in a dizzying eye.

Suddenly, the man in black broke away from the battle and took a few steps backwards. Lu Li firmly blocked in front of Lu Sheng, staring coldly at the man in black like an angry young tiger.

"It's raining and raining, and I just want to take shelter from the rain here, but I didn't expect there to be people in the hut, and I have no malicious intent. You two, are you here to take shelter from the rain?"

"This is my home!" Lu Sheng twitched the corner of his mouth.

The person who came was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that there were still people living in such a dilapidated thatched hut? But then, the man in black bowed down and clenched his fists again, "It's raining heavily outside, so please make it convenient to come in and take shelter from the rain." ”

It's so polite, it's really hard to refuse.

"It's convenient, but it's no different from sheltering from the rain here and outside......"

"It's already good. The man in black smiled, but he didn't look so hateful. The brother and sister made room for the man in black to stay.

The sound of rain outside the house was still howling, and the voice of the man in black gradually sounded.

"Can you fall asleep like this? Awesome......"

"Everyone in the rivers and lakes is like this!" the call paused, and the man in black seemed to say a dream word, and then the cry sounded again.

In a daze, Lu Sheng was woken up by the raindrops.

The sound of the rain outside was gone, but it was still ticking in the hut.

The drowsiness was gone, and Lu Sheng looked at the face of Ahri in his arms with a gentle smile. Slowly, he stretched out his hand to touch the saber that the man in black had put aside.

Before he touched it, he suddenly grabbed Lu Sheng's hand. Looking down, Lu Li's warning eyes stared straight at him.

"I'm just curious to see. ”

"For the Jianghu guests, the sword is their life, and whoever dares to touch it will never die. ”

"Can you beat him?" Lu Sheng asked in a low voice.

Lu Li shook his head solemnly, "This person's martial arts are at least the fifth level of the day after tomorrow." ”

"He's asleep now, what if he sneaks up?"

"For the Jianghu people, they never really fall asleep...... Including what the two of us said, he actually heard it. ”

Lu Sheng hurriedly shut up.

As if confirming Lu Sheng's words, the man in black slowly sat up and stretched his waist.

Don't look over your head and smile at Lu Sheng.

"The rain has stopped, so it doesn't bother when it's falling. Farewell—"

The good door didn't leave, but jumped on the hole above his head. A dark shadow skimmed by, and a few patches of thatch hung down.

Lu Sheng pursed his lips, "This is leaving, not to mention leaving some accommodation fees......

"Brother, are you embarrassed to ask for money in our thatched hut?" Lu Li's cute eyes rolled.

Knock –

A muffled sound sounded at Lu Sheng's feet, and a silver ingot slammed into the table and firmly embedded in the wooden board.

Is it a warning? Lu Sheng said secretly in his heart.

"Little brother, it's not that you don't give it, it's that you forgot ...... for a while"

Lu Sheng grabbed the silver ingot excitedly and tried his best to pull it out. And Lu Li, but at that moment, his face turned pale.

"What a superb cultivation for ......"

"Don't worry about what you're cultivating, Ahri, we're rich. This silver ingot should be five taels, enough for our expenses for three months. ”

"Brother, I didn't ask when the man was still there, what's wrong with you today? Why do you want to ask me if I can beat him, and encourage me to sneak attack? He just came to take shelter from the rain. ”

Lu Sheng finally took out the silver ingot, and his eyes suddenly became solemn, "There are about twenty families in the village, and our family is the most dilapidated.

But why did he hide from the rain and find our shabby hut? Because he didn't want to be in contact with people, or he didn't want people to see him.

Moreover, there was a faint smell of medicine on his body. I can smell the medicine when the rain is pouring down, and this is supposed to be an external herb. Most herbs applied externally are used to treat trauma. Description, this guy is injured.

His face was smeared with mud, but it was not washed away by the heavy rain, and he must have secretly applied it to his face before entering the hut. The appearance is suspicious, and the sneaky body must not be clean. ”

Listening to Lu Sheng's eloquent talk, Lu Li's eyes were filled with an inexplicable look.

"Brother, when did you think of such a complicated thing in an instant?"

"Isn't it complicated?" Lu Sheng didn't think.

"But brother, you think too much, the children of the rivers and lakes have to be careful everywhere. There's nothing wrong with him doing that. ”

"What about this?" Lu Sheng took the silver ingot in his hand and his face was a little solemn, "There is an official seal engraved on the back, and this silver ingot is not the silver in circulation but the treasury silver of the government."

Before the official treasury silver is circulated, the official seal on it will be dissolved. If the official silver flows out of the people, then the silver must not come from the right way. ”

"What then? This ingot can't be used? We're short of money......

"It's okay, I'll melt it again after I get the moon gift tomorrow. ”

The crisp sound of birdsong echoed in my ears at some point, the water had receded under my feet, and the brother and sister stepped out of the hut with mud.

The earth ravaged by heavy rain has a strange earthy fragrance. In this rainy season, the repair of the house cannot be delayed. Rain can happen at any time of the day.

Lu Sheng asked Lu Lifu to go to the labor team first, and almost every village will have it. And Lu Sheng himself, changed his costume and went to the county office.

The county government of Zhilu Town, located in the center of the county, sits on one side like a square seal.

The stone lions on both sides of the yamen are still mighty and extraordinary, although they have been engraved with the vicissitudes of time. The two officials standing on duty may not have slept well last night, and they can't stop yawning.

Lu Sheng tidied up his clothes and slowly stepped on the steps.

The official saw that Lu Sheng's demeanor was very good, but he didn't scold others loudly. He bowed slightly and clenched his fists, "Dare to ask why this son came to the county office?"

"This eldest brother, Lu Sheng, a new science and technology jinshi, wants to meet Wu County Order, and please report it. ”

"Ah, are you Master Lu......? Not dead?"

The official let out a ghostly exclamation, and instantly knew that he had lost his words, and hurriedly slapped his mouth, and couldn't help but apologize. Then he turned and ran into the inner room.

Lu Sheng's passenger boat was caught in a storm in the river, and the whole ship overturned on its side and fell into the water. After hearing the news, Wu County Ling beat his chest even more.

In the past 20 years, Zhongwu County has finally produced a new science and technology jinshi, and it has not made Wu County Ling raise his eyebrows once, snap, it's gone!

This is also the reason why Lu Sheng returned to Zhongwu County, but no one knew about it.

Everyone thought Lu Sheng was dead.

"Where is Brother Lu? Hurry! Hurry up, please-" An exclamation sounded in the distance inside the yamen, and Wu Xian Ling rushed from a distance.

"Student Lu Sheng, I have met the county magistrate. ”

Lu Sheng bowed down and saluted very knowingly.

Wu Xian Ling helped Lu Sheng up, "Brother Lu, you are already a high school jinshi and an official disc, so you can no longer call yourself a student to me." As an official in the same dynasty, it should be a colleague, how old am I to call you brother, right?"

"The adult's words are serious, and the backward is ashamed......" Lu Sheng bent down again, his posture lowered.
