Chapter Ninety-Five: The Strange Little Scholar

Besides, he was alone, and with such a small chisel and hammer, and he could only come here at night to dig holes, it would naturally seem slow.

Lu Shikang looked at the chisel and hammer in his hand and said, "Where did you find this chisel and hammer?" ”

Ji Cheng said: "I guess there must be such a thing somewhere here, because the passage that came in was also carved out by them." So, when I took Qi Jiao for a walk, I looked at every empty room, and I found a room with chisels and hammers. I picked the lock open one night and pulled these two out of a pile of chisels and hammers. ”

"Why don't you take more?"

"How did I know you would come someday? If I had known you would come, I would have taken more. ”

"Is there still one in there?"

"Now I don't know where they have gone, and since they found out that the lock had been picked, they have taken everything inside."

"From then on, I will ask Brother Ji to chisel it himself." Lu Shikang said.

"Can we take turns? One person a day? Under the light of the oil lamp in the hand of the dusty woman, Ji Cheng looked at Lu Shikang expectantly.

"Okay, I'll come tomorrow." Lu Shikang said.

"Master Lu, don't go tomorrow, I invite you to chisel here today, I've been chiseling for four years before you......" Ji Cheng said inch by inch, and took the two things in his hand to Lu Shikang.

Lu Shikang took the chisel and hammer in his hand and said, "Has Ji Gongzi ever seen the head here?" Thinking that Ji Cheng had been here for five years and had wandered around the basin again, he asked.

"I've happened to meet a few times......" Ji Cheng said.

In the year or two when he hadn't found a suitable way out, he had seen a mysterious figure several times when he was wandering around after each training session.

Each time it was found in front of the closed door of the courtyard with its back against the mountain wall, and the man came with ten people each time, and it was late in the evening.

At one point he saw the man's face clearly.

The man's eyes were like cold stars, the bridge of his nose was high, his body was straight, and his every move exuded a compelling cold air.

Thinking of that man, a chill rose in his heart.

Lu Shikang heard him say that he had seen it, and asked, "Is there a regular time for him to come here?" ”

Ji Cheng thought for a moment and said, "I remember that every time he comes, it seems that every time he comes, it is when the moon is almost full. ”

Ji Cheng said this and looked at Lu Shikang, "But I advise you not to think about finding out who he is, it is better to know more than to know less, it is better for us to leave here as soon as possible." ”

Lu Shikang didn't reply to him, but said: "Today, my little scholar and I are drilling rock here, you can go and rest well." ”

Ji Cheng said to the dusty woman: "Qi Jiao, let's go." ”

The dusty woman he called Qi Jiao handed the oil lamp in her hand to Qingzhi, said "I'm tired" and left with Ji Cheng.

After Ji Cheng and Qi Jiao left, Qingzhi carried the oil lamp, Lu Shikang walked behind, and the two walked together into the passage where Ji Cheng had just drilled the rock, and at the end, the Qingzhi lantern was shining, Lu Shikang put the chisel on the rock wall with one hand, and began to hit the chisel with a hammer with the other hand.

After chiseling a few times, Lu Shikang said to Qingzhi: "This rock is really hard. It's also difficult to chisel for Ji Cheng for four years and still haven't given up. ”

Qingzhi said: "This is limestone, which is naturally very hard, and if it is granite, it will be even more difficult to chisel......"

Lu Shikang glanced at her and asked, "How do you know the name of this rock?" Is this limestone? And what kind of rock is granite? ”

Qingzhi hurriedly said: "I forgot where I saw the names of these rocks, maybe they are in some medical book......"

For some reason, she didn't want Lu Shikang to know that she was a different person from him.

I accidentally slipped my mouth just now, forgetting that I didn't know anything about rocks in ancient times.

"The name of the rock in the medical book? Could it be that these rocks can also be used as medicine? ”

Qingzhi said: "Lu Gongzi, you don't know this, there are many rocks that can be used in medicine, such as stamenite, which can treat the wounds of the golden blade arrow, and the injury of the beating, the bite of cats and dogs, the internal damage and blood into the viscera, the woman is not exhausted after giving birth, the blood is dizzy, the bad blood rushes to the heart, the fetus is stillborn, and the afterbirth cannot be put down." For example, talc, its taste is sweet and cold, and the treatment of body heat is shallow. For example, alum stone, the main sore is painful, and it hurts. Another example is purple quartz, which is sweet and warm, which can cure a woman's wind and cold in the palace, and she has no children for ten years. ”

Lu Shikang said: "Listening to Dr. Kong's recitation of medical books, I am very taught. Not only Dr. Kong, but also memorized medical books for others? ”

Qingzhi was stunned, "I haven't ......"

Lu Shikang said: "So this son is the only one?" ”

"It doesn't mean much." She said.

"It doesn't mean anything, it just means that Dr. Kong didn't have such intimate chats with other people......

"It's just an endorsement, where is the intimacy?"

"Not intimate?" He stopped drilling, suddenly kissed her on the cheek, and said, "That's intimacy." ”

Aoeda found that intimate contact with him now seemed to be the norm.

But she didn't know how to change the situation.

......

The second day was another hard day of training. The day's training consisted of fencing in the morning, rock climbing at noon, and equestrianism in the afternoon and running in the afternoon.

Qingzhi and Lu Shikang are the runners.

In the evening, after dinner.

Qingzhi whispered to Lu Shikang on the way back: "I'm going to go out and wipe the door later......"

Lu Shikang looked at her, a little puzzled.

"Don't forget, I'm a quirky little scholar......"

Lu Shikang immediately knew her intentions.

Playing the quirky little scholar in front of others is fake, in order to get close to the mysterious figure who may come at any time is real.

Otherwise, the two of them wandering there every day would definitely arouse suspicion.

So he raised his voice and said, "Qingkong, since you really can't get used to seeing the stains on the door here, then Ben Gongzi has to accompany you out to wipe the door." ”

Huang Mao and Guan Xiao were walking with them at this time, and Huang Mao was surprised: "What, Qing Shutong, you want to wipe all the doors here?" ”

Huang Mao said in his heart, this little scholar is really not ordinary eccentric.

Qingzhi nodded and said, "Yes, I really can't stand so many doors that no one wipes them." ”

Guan smiled: "Little scholar, you must have loved cleanliness in Lu Gongzi's house before." ”

Qingzhi said: "In the past, there was a special cleaning in Gongzi's mansion, I only need to wipe the books, Lu Gongzi's books are the cleanest books in the world......"

At this time, those people before and after all heard the conversation between Qingzhi and Huang Maoguanxiao, and they were all whispering to each other, and the new little scholar of Lu Gongzi was really clean to the point of weirdness.

Back at the accommodation, Qingzhi took a towel from the room, and in front of the door, he picked up one of the wooden barrels from the many wooden barrels that everyone used for laundry, went to the trough and filled it with water, and set off with Lu Shikang.

Thinking that there were still several days before the full moon, she decided to start from the west, so that when she reached the houses on the east side in a few days, she would be more likely to meet the mysterious figure.

Naturally, she was first interrogated by the people in the strong suits here about the matter of wiping the door, and she said that she couldn't get used to seeing the dirty doors, and the people in the strong clothes let her go.

On the second day after they arrived, they heard that among the four new men, there was a little scholar who was a strange man.

Such a person, no matter what he does, seems to be expected.
