Xia Changan took Granny Pan up the mountain, found a cave to sit down and shelter from the rain, the cave was wet, the rain was dripping outside, and there was no dry firewood, so the two of them could only get a little cold for the time being.

Xia Changan thought back to those strange people, and couldn't help asking: "Granny Pan, can you think of what those people are here for?" ”

He added: "Could it be that the boss sent you to find Granny Pan?" ”

If it's wrong, wouldn't it be missed?

Granny Pan thought for a while, shook her head and said, "It shouldn't be, Ziyuan, he wants to find me, how can those people not know where I live, and ask people everywhere?" ”

At first, she thought that it would be because Gu Ziyuan had encountered some difficulties, so she sent someone to find her, but these people not only didn't know where she lived, but also searched around the county, obviously not the person sent by Gu Ziyuan.

She actually had a guess in her heart, but she didn't say it, for fear that Xia Changan would be too worried.

It is very likely that these people were sent by people who were hostile to Gu Ziyuan, who wanted to capture her, or even kill her.

Granny Pan secretly thought that if they really found her, she would roll down the mountain and be gone, and they couldn't let them use her as a handle to threaten Gu Ziyuan, Gu Ziyuan He had experienced so much, and he finally grew up.

His career and his future should not be cut off on her.

Closing her eyes, Granny Pan did not speak again.

At this time, a tentative voice came from outside: "Granny Pan? ”

Xia Changan was taken aback and hurriedly stood up: "Who is it?" ”

A woman walked in, saw Xia Changan's eyes guarded, and knew that he was not from that group, so she stepped forward and nodded Xia Changan's arm: "You kid is not clever enough, you don't know how to step on the grass when you go up the mountain, and the dirt is full of your footprints, how good is it to be discovered?" It's good that I covered it up for you in the back. ”

Many people in this county have been here for generations, and they are all experienced old fritters.

"Does the village know someone is coming?" Xia Changan was worried that those people would not find Granny Pan and would embarrass other villagers.

The aunt explained: "Oh, those people who want to find you are still wandering around the village, we are not afraid of him, we are afraid that he will find you, you should hide quickly." ”

Seeing her say this, everyone should be fine, Granny Pan and Xia Changan also

After relieving his heart, Xia Changan asked again: "Auntie, is there any place around here where I can hide?" Granny Pan's body is inconvenient, it is rainy and humid outside, and it is not a way to hide outside. ”

"I remembered, didn't the county build a temple before, and then everyone was busy farming and ploughing, and they didn't have the heart to burn incense and worship Buddha, so the small temple was empty, I'll take you there." The eldest aunt and Xia Changan helped Granny Pan and went to the small temple to settle down.

If you are not familiar with the mountain roads here, it is easy to get lost, and you are not afraid that those few people will find this place.

The aunt found a place for Granny Pan to sit, "There is absolutely no rain leakage in this place, it is all built by our guys with one hand and one foot, but no one has come for too long, there is some dust, and I have wronged Granny Pan." ”

Granny Pan patted the back of her hand gently, "It's good to be able to stay in a safe place, thank you and the others in the county for helping me like this." ”

Xia Changan lit a fire with the left dry firewood on the side, and the small temple gradually warmed up.

"What are you talking about, everyone is from one county, that is one heart, no one wants to snatch people from us." The aunt said a few more words of advice, did not stay long, and went back to take care of the children at home. Xia Changan planned to stay and take care of and protect Granny Pan, he was the one who followed Gu Ziyuan, and how important Granny Pan was to Gu Ziyuan was to him.

"It's not a way to go on like this, these people can't find me, I'm afraid they won't give up, and the county may still be affected by me."

Xia Changan scratched his head: "But Granny Pan, what else can you do except hide, we can't beat those people, they don't want to leave, so they can only hide to see the situation first." ”

Granny Pan was silent for a long time, and finally made a decision: "We, let's go find Ziyuan, go to the capital to find him." ”

"Huh?" Xia Changan was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that he would also leave Panjia County one day, "Granny Pan, are you serious?" ”

Granny Pan nodded and said solemnly: "Instead of sitting and waiting, it is better to go to Ziyuan's side first, he will not ignore us, not to mention that this matter must also be told to Ziyuan." ”

Although those people didn't do anything, sooner or later they would lose their patience, and in order to protect Panjia County, she had to leave.

Upstairs of the Poetry Society.

In the study, behind the bamboo screen, several people were sitting around, watching the deduction written on paper by the owner.

The owner of the poetry club is also full of talent, and the topic of chickens and rabbits in the same cage has a certain idea in his mind, and it falls on the paper, although it is a little messy, but it also has a relatively clear direction to solve the problem.

His eyes fell on the answer in the lower right corner, and Bai Rong nodded appreciatively.

"How?" The owner asked anxiously, he was a studious person, and he was always enthusiastic about solving problems.

Although the deduction method is a little more complicated, it is generally correct, and the answer is the same.

Bai Rong smiled politely: "What the owner wrote is correct. ”

When Gu Ziyuan heard her question, he was actually very surprised in his heart, such a topic is rare, and Bai Rong can have the ability to make a question and stump everyone, you can imagine how talented she is.

If she can also participate in the imperial examination, perhaps, then Gu Ziyuan shook his head again, not to mention that the imperial examination system does not allow women to participate, he selfishly does not want Bai Rong to step into the chaos of officialdom, those intrigues and hidden arrows, he does not want her to fall into it.

Seeing that he had solved it correctly, the owner breathed a sigh of relief, showed his first smile and said: "This question is a good question, it almost stumped me, the girl is really amazing." ”

Tang Yun pondered for a long time, and asked strangely: "Why is this kind of question different from what I've seen?" ”

She often accompanies Xu Ce to read books and books together, and she can also know the content of some questions in the poetry club, which are generally anagrams, like Bai Rong's question, she has seen it for the first time.

"This is an arithmetic problem, and it has nothing to do with those poetry and books, and the two are not very related." Bai Rong didn't plan to discuss it deeply, if she really wanted to discuss arithmetic, it was actually not an easy task for her.

After all, mathematics is all about grinding the brain, and it was only in order to completely stump the man in brocade that he thought of using arithmetic to solve the problem.

Although the questions are challenging to test intelligence, the content of the imperial examination is by no means such a question.

"It is an honor to be able to get to know you, and I invite you to come to the Poetry Society to discuss in the future, and you are welcome at any time."

After chatting a few more words, several people came out of the poetry club, planning to go to other poetry clubs to have a look.

Bai Rong remembered that Gu Ziyuan had helped her just now, so she whispered to him, "Thank you for protecting me just now." ”

Gu Ziyuan raised his eyebrows: "You and I don't have to say thank you." ”
