The Binjiang River runs from the northern part of Gusu into the sea, and there are two flood seasons every year.

In March, the peach blossoms flooded, the ice and snow melted, and all things were born. However, in the eighteenth year of the Showa era, that is, the year before the Su curtain passed, the peach blossom flood on the Binjiang River did not bring spring and warmth, but the surging roar after the flood broke through the river.

It was Uncle Qian's subordinates who presided over the construction of the Gusu section, and after three years of repair, more and more silver was allocated in the treasury, but the embankment became more and more brittle.

No one cares about the fortifications by the Binjiang River, but the flowers in Gusu fall into the lake and sing every night, and the poured incense powder dyes the water surface in color.

A peach blossom flood broke the river embankment and drowned tens of thousands of people. But in the recital delivered to the imperial court, it was only a light sentence that was slightly damaged. As soon as his term expired, the officials who repaired the embankment patted their butts and rose up, leaving only the devastated Gusu and the plague-ridden Cangxian County in the north.

In a trance, Su Mu remembered the first time they met, Old Man Li hugged the wine jar and muttered: "Why do you want to teach you to study medicine...... That's the plague...... How many have you saved......"

The breach of the embankment of the Binjiang River was suppressed, and naturally the imperial court did not have a disaster relief fund. The newly appointed governor ordered the siege of Cangxian County, and he was not allowed to enter or leave. Just waiting for the people inside to die, they set fire to it.

The Li family has been practicing medicine for generations, and doctors have saved lives and helped the wounded. Old man Li's son silently raised medicinal materials, didn't say much, and after sending his wife back to his parents' house, he took the ox cart and entered Cangxian alone.

Daughter-in-law Gao has not enjoyed happiness since she got married, and she used to help her husband. When she came back from her parents' house and learned that her husband had gone to Cangxian, she didn't say much. just kissed his son who had just turned one year old and left a sentence: He is not comfortable with others. Then he also went to Cangxian.

The people of Cangxian County did not die, and after a year of isolation, the government finally opened the checkpoint. However, the old man Li, who was waiting at the intersection with his grandson Yin Yin, only saw the villagers wearing linen and filial piety holding the spiritual seat, as well as the two small altars of ashes.

A man who dies of pestilence cannot be laid in the ground.

After knowing what happened to the Li family and his wife, Su Mu's heart trembled. He suddenly traveled through another world, and he was terrified and helpless. But after learning what the two of them had done, Su Mu suddenly calmed down.

No matter where you are, as long as there are such people, then this place will not be purgatory.

From this day on, Su Mu cheered up. He began to write books and run a bookstore. When you have money, you will set up Anjifang, Anle Yuan, and Xuetang. It's a pity that he doesn't dare to go too far, otherwise it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, in fact, there are many other ways.

Su Mu settled Li Kangle, the child of the Li family, in the school, and the old man Li also let people take care of him. Although a good man is not rewarded, he can at least let the relatives of the good man be taken care of.

Unexpectedly, one day, Old Man Li was cleaned up, his body was free of alcohol, and his eyes were no longer cloudy. He went directly to Anjifang and began to help poor people see doctors and prescribe medicine free of charge.

And Su Mu, who was originally sick once a month and sick for a month, gradually recovered under his conditioning. The Li family in Yanzhou really deserves to be practicing medicine for generations.

Thinking of the way Old Man Li blew his beard and glared every time he was sick, Su Mu felt bitter. In fact, he was not so afraid of drinking medicine at first, but no matter who was caught and poured Coptis chinensis into death, he would hate drinking medicine.

Just when Su Mu was concerned, a very noisy sound suddenly came from outside. Without his command, Ao Wen walked to the door and lifted the curtain to take a look.

"What's wrong?"

Before Ao Wen could answer, Xiao Wu's grief-stricken cry came from outside: "...... My trotters! ”

The last bite, especially the one that doesn't make it to your mouth, is a delicious delicacy that makes you scratch your ears and cheeks. Xiao Wu, who was sent out, put his things away, and when he passed through the corridor, he suddenly remembered the piece of pig's trotter he had dropped to the ground.

Rushing over to see that the pig's trotters with thick oil red sauce were entwined with the puddle, at this moment it is already you and me, and I have you. So, the sense of loss of missing an ingots made Xiao Wu squat in the yard and howl loudly.

Ao Wen watched the green muscles jump wildly, and just when he couldn't help but step on his feet, Su Mu stopped him.

"Eh, what are you doing? He's still young, so let him go. ”

Ao Wen turned around and wiped his face: "Childe, it's all because I don't discipline him strictly, he looks like a little subordinate!" ”

said so, but Su Mu still heard the accusation in his voice. After all, the reason why Xiao Wu is so big and not small is why he is so big. In fact, most of them were indulged by Su Mu.

“…… It's really fine. Su Mu was helpless, in fact, in his opinion, Xiao Wu's appearance was in line with his age. Unlike Ao Wen, he has been tense since he met, and he can't raise much willfulness over the years.

Sighing, Su Mu stared at Ao Wen: "I said, you and Xiao Wu are my family." Those masters and servants can just get by in front of outsiders. ”

Ao Wen disagreed: "The master is the master, and the servant is the servant." You are the master of the villain's family, how can you mess up your status? ”

Su Mu held his forehead, and the young man in front of him was as green as a young bamboo, and his eyes were stubborn, and he had the consistent conviction of people in this era in his cognition of status and class.

"I'm a ......"

Since it didn't make sense, Su Mu simply gave up communication: "Okay, I'm the master, then I order you not to punish your brother." He spread his hands very scoundrelly: "As for you, go and rest now." Running back and forth in the bookstore every day, I really think that I can't beat it iron. Be careful that you don't grow tall in the future. ”

forcibly suppressed Ao Wen's protesting eyes, and then directly imposed a two-day grounding order on him. Su Mu was refreshed, since he couldn't change his mind, he could only change his own approach.

Isn't it possible to use such a thing as rules while being obedient?

After a few days of dull days, after giving Li Song a set of saintess peripherals, Su Mu ushered in a harmonious interpersonal relationship.

However, although the people in Class C3 are now smiling at him, Liu Yan is actually the only one who can really be regarded as a friend. After all, Su Mu still holds a grudge.

The Lanling School Hall was closed on the sixth day, and the afternoon before Mu Xiu, the entire school was restless.

When the tenth paper ball flew past him, Liu Yan next to Su Mu came over and whispered, "Brother Su, are you free tomorrow?" ”

Su Mu pulled his gaze away from the travelogue pressed under the university, and he thought for a while: "There should be, what's wrong?" ”

Liu Yan looked at the master who was shaking his head above, and lowered his voice to the lowest: "Tomorrow is my birthday, and the family has set up a banquet in Fanlou to invite relatives and friends." If Brother Su is free, why don't you use some thin wine? ”

Fan Lou, that is a famous restaurant in Yecheng. Su Mu had doubts in his heart, and the things he used to see Liu Yan on weekdays were very simple, not like a person who could be extravagant? But he thought about it, since it was a banquet for relatives and friends, it was not incomprehensible to find a good restaurant.

"It turns out that Brother Liu's good day has arrived, since you have invited them, then how can I not go?"

Receiving an affirmative reply, Liu Yan seemed relieved. He hesitated for a while: "Because they are all relatives, there will be no separate seats at tomorrow's banquet, if you mind Brother Su......"

He didn't care about this Su Mu, he waved his hand: "The guest is as he pleases, it's all up to Brother Liu's arrangement." ”

Whispers were being heard all over the building, and the humming sound that came together was clearly audible. However, the master who taught the university was unaware, and he had been reciting the words of the saint with his eyes closed in his eyes.

I finally got through to the end of school, and as soon as the bell rang, the students who had already packed up their things jumped up like wild dogs. Some of them were in a hurry, so they simply jumped out of the window.

When he had finished reciting the article, the unsatisfied master opened his eyes and found that there was only one person left in the room who was still slowly packing up.

After all, his body was weak, and he was worried when he looked at the crowd that seemed to be stepping on the scene.

The lady who didn't know the truth admired this calm student very much: "Yes, yes, the gentleman wants Xu Rulin." After a few praises, he suddenly felt a little sentimental: "Hey, the last time I was so patient was Yue Qing six years ago." It's a pity that since he left the academy, the old man hasn't heard from him again. ”

The master chattered while packing up the teaching aids, and Su Mu couldn't leave first, so he could only listen respectfully.

But it didn't take long, and the master seemed to mention it in passing. After feeling that Yue Qing was estimated to have fallen off the list, so he didn't dare to contact his old teacher's old friend, he encouraged Su Mu a few words and left.

Walking slowly in the school hall, Su Mu could only sigh that this kind of thing was really a single-plank bridge crossed by thousands of troops. The literary style of Dayuan was prosperous, so the number of people in each imperial examination remained high. Many of those who did not win the examination will take the exam one after another, so gray-haired old men abound.

Think about the people who participate, and then think about the fact that only about 200 places are admitted every year. Su Mu was once again sure that he would not be able to pass the imperial examination.

The children of Dayuan were enlightened at the age of three, and when they reached the age of ten, they memorized the Four Books and the Five Classics like a stream. In contrast, Su Mu, who just crossed over three years ago, can't even recognize traditional characters. If he really wants to participate in the imperial examination, even if he studies hard for a few years, he will still not be able to pass the children's examination.

Although the Su family arranged a place for Su Mu in the school, he never even went. After finding the best medical clinic in Yecheng and issuing a certificate, Su Mu directly applied for day study.

Just kidding, he didn't believe that the Su family would not know that there was a Li Song in Class C3 who regarded the Yang family as an enemy. So if you think about it with your toenails, it won't be much too peaceful in the dormitory where the four of you live together.

An autumn rain and a cold, Ao Wen was not worried about Su Mu's body, and finally asked Dr. Li to take Su Mu's pulse. And Old Man Li lived up to expectations, and simply prescribed a tonic prescription. In the past two days, the government has been instructed, and everyone is eyeing him, as long as he speaks, he will definitely ask first: Childe, have you drunk the medicine?

If it weren't for this, Su Mu would not have accepted Liu Yan's invitation so happily. After all, on such a wet day, nesting at home and reading is the most comfortable choice.

Xiao Wu received someone at the door, and handed over a letter with some doubts: "I don't know where this came from, it's on the wheel when I miss it." ”

Su Mu took the letter, and on the envelope were four words with iron painting and silver hooks: Su Mu personally opened.

Hey, the handwriting is somewhat familiar.

Tear open the envelope, and there is only a maple leaf inside.

And the maple leaf is inscribed with a line of words: Why is the flowing water too urgent.

Xiao Wu turned the carriage around, and when he turned around, he seemed to have found something new: "Childe, why are you red?" ”

Su Mu pinched the red leaf and fanned the wind hard: "Angry!" ”
