Chapter 41: Up the Mountain

It should be said that it wakes up the dreamer with a word!

If Ah Yu hadn't asked, Xie Huai'an might have been immersed in the feelings of 'my brother would rather believe in outsiders than believe him', and naturally he wouldn't have considered Xie Huaining's response this time, why there was such a big change.

In the past, someone came to complain, and Xie Huaining apologized for him every time, but after apologizing, he would say two words to him at most, and then he would be fined a few months of monthly money without pain.

But when did Xie Huai'an care about that little bit of monthly money, Mrs. Xie always tried her best to stuff him with silver, for fear that he would have less money to spend.

Only this time, and only this time, Xie Huaining locked him up in the ancestral hall.

However, this is only his speculation after all, the scars in his heart have appeared, and if he wants to erase the pain, he needs far more than speculation.

That day, in the face of Ah Yu's question, Xie Huai'an didn't react too much, he just said what he wanted to say, and then walked away.

The back of the young man leaving was very chic.

Ah Yu didn't know if Xie Huai'an finally went to his brother to find out, and she hadn't seen him since that conversation.

The Wen Mansion is not big, but if one person wants to avoid another person, there are thousands of ways.

The rest of the time was always in a hurry, and Ah Yu soon waited for Wen Huan's Mu rest day.

The White Horse Academy is always open, and even during the New Year's holidays, there are people living inside.

So no matter when you go, you don't have to worry about going behind closed doors.

From the Wenfu Courtyard to the White Horse Academy, along the path to the foot of the mountain, most of the fields are farmhouses, the rice in the fields is green and yellow, and the scenery is its own.

At the foot of the mountain, there are bluestone-paved steps further up, and the carriage cannot go up, so everyone has to get off and walk.

On the side of the road, groups of men gathered together, dressed in brown jets. Most of them are peasants at the foot of the mountain, taking advantage of the slack time to earn two strength money.

The road up the mountain is not easy to walk, not to mention those rich wives and girls who don't go out of the gate and don't step out of the door on weekdays, but they really want to go up the mountain.

The peasants at the bottom of the mountain made a bamboo sedan chair out of bamboo, and if someone wanted to go up the mountain but was impatient to go up in person, they could pay for them, and they could directly use the bamboo sedan chair to carry people up the mountain.

Wen Huan got off the horse and strode towards the mountain, without taking two steps, and suddenly remembered that he was not alone today, so he immediately stopped and looked back.

The little girl swayed behind with two rings, not walking very fast, occasionally stopping to look at the scenery on both sides of the path, but she did not show a tired appearance.

Wen Huan was still a little uneasy, walked back to the little girl's side, pointed to the brown short hit on the side of the road and said, "Ah Yu came to the academy by himself a few times before, do you want to try to sit in a sedan chair this time?" ”

The manpower sedan chair looks a little thinner and not expensive enough, but it is still very practical.

If it was something else, Ah Yu would have tried it, but she didn't dare to try this sedan chair.

That was a few years ago.

Master Wen San once went to visit friends in a small county town below Yunzhou, and he also brought Ah Yu with him at that time, and there was no lack of interesting things on the way. It's just that when he was about to return, Ah Yu had a little accident.

Children are not very restrained in small counties, so children can often be seen scurrying around the streets and alleys. The reason why Master Wen San took Ah Yu out was to make Ah Yu cheerful and lively, so he didn't restrain her, but let her go out to play with her friends.

Seeing that the day of return was approaching, Ah Yu took the gifts she personally selected and went to say goodbye to her friends.

As soon as she walked to the street, she saw a girl wearing a Xiangfei-colored skirt on the opposite side who was about to get into the carriage.

The servant who was waiting for the girl forgot the low stool that was about to board the car, and it happened that there was a wine shop next to the carriage, and Ah Yu originally thought that the girl would let the servant go to the wine shop to borrow a stool, but this was not the case.

The girl in the Xiangfei color skirt directly untied the long whip hanging from her waist, and the whip body was barbed, and the scar of Dao Dao was drawn out of the subordinate's body, and then she let the subordinate kneel on the ground and act as a human ladder.

If it were only here, Ah Yu would probably only urge herself, so that she would not become a tricky and ruthless person like that girl, and she would not be reasonable at all.

However, there is a follow-up.

Just when the girl in the Xiangfei dress-colored skirt stepped on the back of the next person, the next person suddenly stood up and threw the girl to the ground, not to mention, he also took out a dagger from his arms and stabbed the girl dozens of times, and the knife was bloody.

The girl soon ran out of breath.

Ah Yu was also frightened by such a tragic scene, and she didn't even give a gift, but fainted directly.

The man who followed her and helped with the gift brought her back.

Because of that, Ah Yu also had a high fever for several days, and on the way back, she couldn't get up, and she lay down the whole time.

If in the past, Ah Yu treated people well, then since then, she has been better to the people around her.

On top of that, she has some big shadows over what humans do.

In the face of his brother's kindness, Ah Yu was very moved, and then decisively refused.

"There isn't much to get to the academy from the bottom of the mountain, so I can walk by myself!"

The little girl's attitude of refusal was clean and neat, Wen Huan stared at her for a long time, making sure that she would not change her mind, so she slowed down and waited for Ah Yu to walk towards the academy together.

Left and right are not in a hurry today, if Ah Yu is tired halfway, it is a big deal that they will rest on the side.

There are always more solutions than problems.

The group continued to walk up the stone steps up the mountain.

The mountain where the White Horse Academy is located was originally the Wen family's mountain, and there is a temple built by the Wen family at the expense of the Wen family, called Qingquan Temple, and the incense on weekdays is not bad. And because of the construction of the White Horse Academy later, there are more people coming and going every day on the mountain road, the bluestone steps are often cleaned, and a pavilion is also built every hundreds of steps for pedestrians to rest.

Nearby villagers often go to Qingquan Temple to offer incense, but most of them don't take the road of the White Horse Academy, they often take some mountain paths, saving time and effort, but ordinary people can't walk.

The sun was a little big on this day, and Ah Yu was raised in the deep boudoir, and he didn't like to go out very much, and he was tired and out of breath after walking less than half the way.

Only Wen Huan is used to walking on weekdays, and he still looks relaxed at this time.

Wen Huan pointed to the gazebo in front of him and said, "I'm also a little tired, why don't you go to the gazebo in front of you to rest for a while, okay?" ”

Ah Yu knew that her brother was worried about her face, so he excused himself by saying that he was tired.

But she didn't really care about these small details, so she turned her head and smiled at Wen Huan: "Okay!" ”

Although he knew what the truth was, Ah Yu didn't intend to refute his brother's kindness.
