Chapter Forty-Six: The White-Faced Scholar

I don't want to see the scenery, and I have the heart to see the road ahead.

Yan Du rode a horse on the road, from Youzhou to Huaibei for ten days, she carefully observed, this way, more and more people begging, all yellow and thin, ragged clothes.

This can't help but remind her of the ruined temple that she fled to after being destroyed, and the children in it were also so hungry and cold.

Although she was one of them, she also wanted to help the hungry people along the road, but she couldn't help but stop everyone and cry hungry, where did she save so many people. Besides, the two hundred taels entrusted by the master are still in her baggage, and if she really stops and goes, she really doesn't know when she will be able to arrive.

Black Wind had already run a long way, and his breath was getting faster and faster, and Yan Du knew that he was really tired, so he hurried to the tea shop that was still open in front of him to ask for some water to feed the horses.

She had just led her horse to the tea-shop when she saw the shopkeeper driving a few hungry people who had come to beg.

"Go, go, go! Don't come to me! I saw that the shopkeeper was holding a rolling pin in his hand, and he was about to beat people, and some of the timid hungry people were frightened by him and hurriedly ran away, but there were still some bold ones who secretly ran to the side of those passers-by who were eating tea and begged for food.

"Uncle! Uncle! My child hasn't eaten in days, please give me food! A woman pleaded with a guest by the sleeve.

When Yan Du heard this, the hand that fed the horse paused, and turned his head to look at the woman, only to see that she was wearing a cloak with a baby waiting to be fed on her back, and there were four children who were no more than five or six years old beside her.

But the next moment, the customer who was begging for food had already called: "Shopkeeper, let's have some steamed buns!" ”

Yan Du raised his eyebrows, looked at the book beside the good man, guessed that he should be a scholar rushing to take the exam, and planned to turn his head and continue to feed the horse.

At the moment of turning her head, her eyes seemed to catch a glimpse of something, her eyes were instantly clear, and she quickly picked up a small pebble at her feet and threw it in the direction of the scholar, with only a little bit of strength in the momentum of the stroke.

"Ouch!" A little boy beside the woman cried out in pain, and a money bag fell to the ground, and the scholar who was diverted from his gaze immediately turned his head when he heard the sound, and witnessed the scene of the child stealing money.

Seeing this, the tea shop shopkeeper immediately put down the steamed buns in his hand, raised the rolling stick and rushed over scoldingly: "Good thief of your family, the uncle is kind enough to give you steamed buns, and he wants to steal other people's purses!" ”

When the woman saw the shopkeeper's beard that was blown crooked with anger, tears came out of her eyes, and she knelt straight and begged for mercy: "I'm sorry, uncle! I'm sorry, uncle! It's me damn it! It's none of the kids' business! I taught it with this! ”

Yan Du watched steadily, the woman stretched out her hand and pulled several children behind her, the children did not understand, but they also knew that they were in trouble, and the four voices cried quietly in unison, and the little boy who stole the money trembled and cried:

"I, I stole money, and I just wanted to treat my father! He's sick and dying, who can save him! ”

This situation and this scene really make people have mixed feelings!

Hunger forced people to Liangshan, but when the condemnation came, he still protected the calf deeply, and wanted to blame this child for being a thief? Do you want to reproach this woman for not knowing how to teach her children? Or do you want to blame the big man on the high wall, who doesn't care about the lives of the common people at all?

"Then you're stealing the wrong person!"

Suddenly, a hearty voice sounded from the chaos, and I saw the scholar pick up the shriveled purse, pour out all the money inside, and a dozen copper plates rattled on the wooden table of the tea shop.

"Store, how much?" The scholar asked.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he pointed to the steamed buns that had already been baked, and said embarrassedly, "Do you count it?" ”

"Count it!" The scholar still maintained a relaxed tone, and he found it interesting to hear it.

"Five pennies." The shopkeeper sighed and brought up the steamed bun that had been set aside.

The scholar picked five copper plates on the table and handed them to the shopkeeper, and then put the rest of the copper plates in the money bag one by one, and handed them to the family who was still crying together with the steamed buns.

"That's all I have, take it!"

Yan Du and the shopkeeper were a little surprised when they heard this, and the family was even more surprised and cried even louder, maybe they had never met such a kind person all the way, or they had not met such a deceitful person, the woman kowtowed straight:

"Thank you, uncle! Thank you, uncle! ”

The four trembling children behind him gradually disappeared from the fear in their eyes, replaced by gratitude......

After watching a scene, Yan Du fed the black wind, and didn't dare to sit in the tea shop, so she had to stand outside and nibble on the big white steamed buns given by the store, when suddenly a pair of brocade shoes stained with mud and gray appeared in front of her.

She immediately stopped chewing, looked up at the comer, and saw the person in front of her, a pale blue plain dress had been stained with a little gray, the face with a hearty smile, clear eyebrows, face like a crown of jade, chic and elegant, carrying his book, like a white-faced scholar.

"Thank you, brother, for your help just now!" The voice of the person on the other side was clear, and when Yan Du heard it in his ears, he felt that there was a bit of Zhuang Lin's charm in the voice.

Yan Du nodded, since he found out that it was his own shot, she would not refuse: "It's a gesture." ”

Listening to Yan Duan's immature voice, the white-faced scholar suddenly raised his eyebrows: "Under the surname Wei Minghuan, dare to ask what Brother Tai is called?" ”

The surname Wei? Yan Du frowned, then dispersed the strange thought in his heart and responded frankly: "Li Fu." ”

"Brother Li!" Wei Huan still bent his eyes, smiling at the young and not tall man in front of him, with red face and white teeth, a pair of autumn-like eyes, heroic eyebrows, and a long sword at his waist was not obtrusive at all. This person has the beauty of a child and the handsomeness of a man.

In this world, if you dare to ride a horse at such a young age, you must be a young chivalrous man.

"Why did you give all the money to the woman?" Yan Du suddenly thought of the scene just now, and finally couldn't help but ask curiously.

When Wei Huan heard this, he said with a smile: "Don't worry, brother, I still have some coils left right away." ”

"Horses?" Yan Du raised her eyebrows and looked around, there was only one horse in the entire tea shop, Hei Feng.

Wei Huan saw the doubt in Yan Duan's eyes, and suddenly secretly said in his heart, the smile suddenly froze in mid-air, and he looked left and right for a long time, but he didn't see half a shadow of his horse.

Yan Du couldn't help but feel funny, but it was not easy to fall into the well, so she had to say, "There were no horses here when I came?" ”

"Oops! Could it be that the horse was stolen as soon as I sat down?! ”

Wei Huan opened his black eyes wide, looking at the refugees coming and going along the way, the bustling voices came and went, the shop owner of the tea shop was busy driving the hungry people, where did he have the heart to help him watch the horse, Xu didn't pay attention to it just now, and the horse was stolen by the thief.

Blunder! Blunder!

Yan Du saw the white-faced scholar in front of him scratching his head, completely losing the chic just now, so he stared at him with some amusement, the master's two hundred taels said that he couldn't move anything, and she didn't have much entanglement on her body, so it was impossible to help this confused scholar.

"Now, I don't even have the entanglement to go home!" Listening to Wei Huan's words wordlessly, I saw him look up at Lang Lang Qiankun, with a hint of depression on his face, and said faintly:

"Three hundred miles away from home, all the daughters are scattered. There is no other word, only to return to the hometown early. ”

When Yan Du heard this, he couldn't help but think of the Zhuang people he was familiar with, and his posture was exactly the same as his father's, so he burst out laughing.

Wei Huan heard Yan Duan's laughter, and his look of chagrin suddenly deepened, thinking that he was really unworthy of heaven and earth now, and the only one he could rely on was this little brother!

I saw Wei Huan squirming and pinching, and said to Yan Du with an apologetic expression: "I don't know if Brother Li can ...... you"

"Can't!" Yan Du swallowed the last bite of steamed buns, didn't even look at Wei Huan, and directly threw two copper plates to the store, and asked for directions by the way: "Shopkeeper, how far is Peach Blossom Town?" ”

"Ten miles ahead." The shopkeeper took Yan Dui's copper plate, helped her fill the tea in the water bladder, handed it over and said.

"Thanks!" Yan Du took the water bladder, ignored the white-faced scholar in front of him, raised his head and took a sip violently.

Wei Huan, who was rejected, stared at the white neck raised by the person in front of him, as slender and beautiful as a swan, Xu is still young, the Adam's apple has not grown, and he has given birth to a trace of androgynous coquettishness.

"What?" Quenching her thirst, Twilight tightened her mouth and hung on Black Wind. Glancing at Wei Huan, he turned his head to untie the horse's rope.

Seeing her formation, Wei Huan should be about to leave, so he hurriedly said anxiously: "Brother Li! Brother Li! Help me! ”

"No money!" Yan Du jumped on the horse, she didn't come out to do good deeds, and besides, this guy was obviously not vigilant enough, so he was stolen from the horse and stolen the money.

Take some lessons, and you will become smart when you go to Beijing to catch the exam in the future!

Suddenly, Yan Du felt a weight under her feet, looked down, and found that Wei Huan, a nerd scholar, was already holding her right leg.

Suddenly, Yan Duan's eyes became cold, and he was about to shake off the person under his feet, when he heard Wei Huan, who was jumping off the wall in a hurry, shouting: "Brother Li, Brother Li, saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter!" Presumably you also have a scholar in your family, who go to Beijing to take the exam once every three years, and if you miss it, it will be a lifetime of regret, please help me! ”

Yan Du opened those apricot eyes, and the anger in his heart was burned even more, this guy was pretending to give alms to others just now, and now he is begging to save him by himself, knowing that it is important for him to rush for the exam, then he must be careful, how can he be like him!

As soon as she thought of this, she wanted to pull out her scabbard and knock the foolish scholar unconscious.

"I don't dare to ask for too much, I just ask Brother Li to give me a ride, and when I get to the town, I will ask my family to help!" Wei Huan saw that Yan Duan's hand touched the edge of the sword, and hurriedly changed his statement.

Hearing this, Yan Du looked at the book that Wei Huan had been carrying, and suddenly thought of Master Zhuang. I heard that my father was also a poor kid back then, did he go to Beijing to take the exam like this?

After a moment, she finally relented: "Come up!" ”

Wei Huan, who was pleading hard, heard Yan Dui's voice like a savior, and immediately smoothed his breath and grinned.

Yan Du looked at the guy coldly and smiled like a wrinkled dog, what face just now was like a crown of jade, looking like Pan An, and it disappeared completely.

Wei Huan stretched out his long legs, stepped on the saddle and jumped on the horse, and the books in the book basket on his back rattled. When he sat down, he didn't ask any questions, drove the reins and rode the horse, and Wei Huan, who was startled, hurriedly stretched out his arms and hugged the waist of the young man in front of him tightly.

So skinny! Wei Huan hugged his weak waist in a daze, he didn't expect this young man to be so thin.

Feeling that Yan Du was being embraced, he was both annoyed and helpless at the moment, and he faintly felt in his heart that this Wei Huan was a trouble.

I wouldn't have helped this guy if I knew about it! She sighed deeply, and didn't want to pay attention to the person behind her, letting his big hand around her, just caring about hurrying forward.

Wei Huan looked down at the little brother in front of him, who was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and couldn't help but slowly relax, carefully looking at this person named Li Fu.

The swarthy hair tied with a ponytail was blown by the wind, wrapped around the white and elegant neck, and the fusion of white and black broke into his heart, and a strange emotion suddenly came out, making him have to gasp, let the breeze blow away all his cranky thoughts.

But accidentally, the faint breath of the other party's body was collected in his nose, the crispness of mint, the coldness of jasmine, and the softness of sandalwood were kneaded into an interesting Li Fu.

It smells so good!!

The white-faced scholar couldn't help but take a deep breath again, the peach and plum were still fragrant, who was whispering in a smile, a heart was full of feelings, and there was no place in the world.
