In the evening, Jiang County.

A steady cloud fell from the sky and landed not far from the gate outside the county, and it was Lu Ming and Lin Xiaoyan who came here.

"It's been a long time since I've been home!"

Lu Ming couldn't help but sigh that there were a lot of things that happened this year, and he experienced a lot.

"The sun is about to set, let's go!", Lin Xiaoyan reminded.

"Let's go. ”

Lu Ming smiled heartily, then entered the county gate with Lin Xiaoyan and walked straight to Lin Donghai's mansion.

Along the way, Lu Ming met many acquaintances, but he hadn't seen him for a long time, and he did seem to be a lot more different.

And after those acquaintances saw Lu Ming, they didn't dare to come over to say hello easily, and they all stayed away.

Lu Ming didn't talk much, pretending not to know them, after all...... Those so-called acquaintances have no dealings with them in the first place.

"Oh, isn't that Lu Ming? He's back to Jiang County?"

"Shhhh

"Hey...... We were so blind that we didn't even realize that he was so intelligent, and we knew that he would be so accomplished, and we would have helped me when he was poor, and now ...... I'm so shameless to face him!"

"Phew, although we didn't help him, we didn't hurt him, what are we afraid of him doing? Just because he is a spineless thing!"

The passers-by whispered, but what they said couldn't hide Lu Ming's ears, he was now a Hanlin, and his hearing was naturally far beyond ordinary people.

But he pretended not to know, as if he had not heard.

It didn't take long for the two to come to the Lin Mansion, but they saw that the door of the mansion had been locked, and a note was posted outside the door, which read: "I have traveled all over the world, with the rivers and lakes as my companions, and I will not return." ".

"This ......"

Lin Xiaoyan was dumbfounded, so dignified, why did she suddenly travel all over the world?

"Uncle Lin entrusted you to me, and from then on, he traveled the mountains and rivers with a clean breeze on his sleeves, and made friends with scholars from all over the world, which made people envious. Lu Ming said with emotion.

"Daddy......"

Lin Xiaoyan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and snuggled into Lu Ming's arms.

"As a scholar, what you yearn for most is such a free life, and you should be happy for him. Lu Ming comforted.

"Hmm. Lin Xiaoyan nodded lightly.

"Okay, let's go eat something good! Isn't there a 'yellow stewed chicken' in our Jiang County that tastes good? Let's go there and have a big meal." ”

"Okay!"

Lin Xiaoyan was suddenly hungry when she heard the words "yellow stewed chicken", and hurriedly said: "Hurry up, hurry up, I'm hungry." ”

"Haha......"

Lu Ming smiled heartily, and went with Lin Xiaoyan, and the two talked and laughed.

"Stinky food, come to affect my business again, get out!"

"Go somewhere else and ask for food, bad luck!"

"Someone, call me!"

There was a commotion ahead, and an old beggar in ragged clothes fell to the ground, and several men surrounded him and beat him violently.

Lu Ming's face changed when he saw this, and he was about to shout loudly when he heard a voice suddenly sound: "Stop! You animals, even the old people, do you have no conscience! Don't be stunned, go and stop them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw another group of men rush out and protect the old beggar behind him.

"Oh, why is that sound so familiar?"

Lu Ming looked at it curiously, and the next moment he was stunned, his face full of disbelief.

It was a man in a robe, his face full of anger, shouting at the group in front of him.

This person is not a county order, nor is he a fast catcher, but the shopkeeper of Zhu Ji Restaurant, who used to be stingy and stingy to the extreme.

"How could it be him?"

Lin Xiaoyan also felt incredible, who is the shopkeeper Zhu? Everyone in Jiang County knows that he is a smiling tiger, selfish, and has always been a villain who sees the wind and steers the rudder.

But today, he actually did such an uneven thing, if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it.

"Yo, who am I, it turned out to be the shopkeeper Zhu, why do you come to mind our affairs?"

"Hmph, isn't there much of this guy's nosy?"

"Since it's the shopkeeper Zhu, we can't help but give this face! Let's let this old beggar go, and next time I come to beg and break your dog's legs!"

With that, the group turned away, but still angry.

"Old man, are you alright?"

Shopkeeper Zhu picked up the old beggar, obviously the old beggar was smelly and dirty, but he didn't have any dislike.

"Hey...... Old waist yo ......"

The old beggar cried with a sad face, was slowly helped up, and thanked the shopkeeper Zhu: "Thank you for this master, the old man is grateful!"

"Old man, where do you live, or I'll send you back!"

"Excuse me, the old man can go by himself, and he will say goodbye......"

The old beggar walked away with crutches and with difficulty, one step at a time, which made people feel sad when they saw it.

Shopkeeper Zhu hurriedly said: "Old man, it's getting late, why don't you go to the cold house and sit down, and I'll send you back tomorrow!"

"I'm just an old beggar, how dare I disturb you......?

The old beggar suddenly fell, and the shopkeeper Zhu hurriedly helped him up, and said to the man: "Take him back for one night, and everyone will help." ”

"Okay, Boss Zhu, take it easy and let the little ones come!"

In this way, with the support of the guys, the old beggar was sent all the way to Zhu Ji Restaurant, where he was well served and settled down first.

After finishing his work, Shopkeeper Zhu changed his clothes and returned to the counter, looked at the deserted store, sighed helplessly, and took out a book from the drawer to read.

"Little Er, order!"

A voice sounded quietly, it was Lu Ming and Lin Xiaoyan who walked in, they were not very worried about the behavior of the shopkeeper Zhu, and they were afraid that it would be unfavorable to the old beggar, so they came over together.

"There's a guest coming?"

Shopkeeper Zhu almost thought that he had misheard, it was so late, why did anyone come? And the sound seemed to be very familiar.

Then he put down the book and cast his gaze, and the expression on his face was suddenly wonderful, "Yes...... Be...... You...... Land...... Lu Ming?"

"Ah...... No, no...... Not ......"

Shopkeeper Zhu hurriedly walked out and saluted Lu Ming: "The villain has seen Lord Wenhou and Lin Yiren, please forgive me if I miss the distance!"

Seeing this, the other fellows also hurried over to salute.

Lin Xiaoyan was pleasantly surprised, he didn't expect Lu Ming to be so majestic now, and wherever he went, everyone respected him.

"No courtesy!", Lu Ming raised his hand slightly.

"Thank you Wenhou!", Shopkeeper Zhu and the other guys puffed up their chests.

"Shopkeeper Zhu, why do you also read books?", Lu Ming teased.

"Shame on you......"

The shopkeeper Zhu said helplessly: "Since offending Lord Wenhou, the business of the grass people has become more and more deserted, if it weren't for the care of old friends, it would have been impossible to open a long time ago, so in his spare time, he also read the Four Books and Five Classics, thanks to the teachings, it is like an enlightenment, and he is extremely ashamed of his past self, so he vows to change his past wrongs and be an upright person!"
