Dunyi County is not large, with a population of less than 50,000 and less than 20,000 households.

When the carriage gradually stabilized, the old man's mood suddenly became apprehensive, and he jumped out of the carriage, led the horse, and looked around like an ordinary traveler.

Sixty years and four years are also a long time for a county.

After walking for half an hour, the old man grew in the middle of the bustling avenue, and his eyes were suddenly full of loss.

"Elder Zhang, what's wrong?" Lu Gong asked subconsciously.

"It's changed! It's all changed! Zhang Yizhi took a deep breath and shook his head gently. It seems that in the midst of this, I am distressed because I haven't found my childhood memories.

Lu Gong didn't know how to comfort him.

The old man had stopped on the side of the road and stopped a man. "May I ask, how to get to Mingzhi Academy?"

The man glanced at the old man's ordinary attire and showed him the way.

Zhang Yizhi hurriedly jumped into the carriage and sped up.

Obviously, in his mind, the unmasked place is the place that carries his most thoughts.

Ming Chi Academy, east of Dunyi, is not small. Before he got closer, he could hear the sound of Lang Lang reading inside.

The old man got out of the car at the door, suddenly looked a little restrained, and just stepped on the steps, but was stopped by someone.

At the door, an old man in a scholar's appearance stared at Zhang Yizhi and said unceremoniously: "What are you doing?" ”

Zhang Yizhi hurriedly saluted and explained his intention.

"Visiting? Is Mingzhi College a casual place to visit? There are so many children reading here, how can they be disturbed at will? The old man said coldly.

Zhang Yizhi was a little anxious, as if all his bearing was useless at this moment. "I'll go in and have a look!"

"You can't look at it! No one is allowed to enter without the permission of the dean. With a snap, the door closed again.

"Why don't I go in and report it?" Lu Gong tried to ask.

Zhang Yizhi shook his head slightly, turned around and pulled the carriage aside, so that it would not block the gate.

He went to the corner, sat down in the carriage, and began to wait.

This is half a day.

Before the gate opened, a lot of carriages began to gather at the door, and gradually surrounded the road.

After another moment, the doors of the academy finally opened, and hundreds of children ran out of it.

Zhang Yi subconsciously stood up, looked at the figures that kept pouring out, and finally had a smile on his face again.

One by one, the children got into the carriage and waved goodbye to Mr. Teach.

When the traffic dispersed, Zhang Yizhi hurriedly ran over.

"Why are you again?" The scholar-like old man was a little impatient.

"Now, the kids are gone. Can you let me in and have a look? Zhang Yizhi asked.

The old man still shook his head: "I said, no one is allowed to come in without the consent of the dean, haven't you seen that the parents of those students are also waiting outside?" The academy is a pure place, and it is not allowed to come and go at will. ”

Zhang Yizhi frowned and retorted: "The academy should be oriented to everyone, so that it can truly teach and educate people. If you don't even let the door in, how can you reassure your parents? ”

The old man glanced at him and sneered: "Where did you come from, do you know what the background of Mingzhi Academy is?" Can you judge here? I advise you to hurry up, otherwise I will let people get rid of you, and it will not look good. ”

The door slammed shut again.

Zhang Yizhi returned to the carriage in a daze.

Lu Gong originally thought that when he arrived at the academy, the task would be completed, but now it seems that it is not so smooth.

If the academy can't be his home, then where should he go?

Zhang Yizhi also seemed to be thinking about this problem, and after a long time, he pulled the carriage again, left the street, and walked to the edge.

Lu Gong could only remain silent and followed.

Walking through the streets, Zhang Yizhi quickly stopped at the edge of an old building, which he seemed to recognize, and it took a long time before he stepped forward to knock on the door.

This time, the door opened.

An old woman inside walked out tremblingly and looked at Zhang Yi with a suspicious face. "Is there something wrong?"

"Excuse me. May I ask if this is No. 17 Zhangzi Lane? ”

"You're looking for someone?" The old woman's gaze was a little divergent.

Zhang Yizhi nodded hurriedly: "I used to live here. Many years ago, in order to raise the cost of the exam, the old house was sold to a family. ”

Chapter ...... Are you from the old Zhang family? The old woman's eyes lit up suddenly.

"yes. I don't know if it's still from my old Zhang family in this house now? Zhang Yizhi asked.

The old woman hurriedly pushed open the door and warmly entertained: "I have heard my father-in-law tell me the story of this house before. You must be from Kyoto, right? I heard that this house is a blessed land, and there was a champion here back then. I heard that he became a big official later? ”

As she spoke, the old woman led the people inside, and drank in her mouth: "Long life, come to the guest." ”

A teenager ran out of the hall screaming, his face dark and his eyes bright.

He rushed to Zhang Yizhi's side, looked at him and said, "Old man, you look like a scholar." ”

"Hahaha......" Zhang Yizhi laughed, his eyes looking for something in the house.

The old woman next to her had lifted the old curtain and invited him in.

"Unexpectedly, I haven't returned for many years, and this house is like a person, devastated by the years." Looking at the dim hall, Zhang Yizhi couldn't help but sigh.

The old woman didn't understand what he was saying, she didn't know where to pour a bowl of water, and said, "There's nothing to entertain you." You sit casually, I haven't finished my meal yet, why don't you stay and finish eating before leaving? ”

Zhang Yizhi nodded: "Then there will be labor!" ”

The old woman hurried out, leaving the house directly, and went to another family on the side, and hurried back again, with a small bundle of wild vegetables in her hand.

"You also have the surname Zhang?" Zhang Yizhi sat and saw that the kid was surrounding him, and seemed very interested, so he couldn't help asking.

Zhang Changshou nodded: "The men on this street are all surnamed Zhang." ”

"And what about your father?" Zhang Yizhi asked.

"Daddy went to war in order to have enough to eat. My mother died when I was very young, and I don't even remember what she looked like. ”

Zhang Yizhi's face moved slightly, looking at his unkempt appearance, he reached out and took out a cake from his sleeve: "Here is you and grandmother?" ”

Zhang Changshou's eyes lit up, and he directly reached out to take it, and couldn't wait to bite it. He didn't seem to be afraid of people at all, and said vaguely while biting, "Yes." Lao Zu said, in two years, I will be thirteen years old, and I can also go to the army. There will be no hunger then! ”

Zhang Yizhi suddenly frowned: "Why do you have to be a soldier?" ”

"If you don't serve as a soldier, you won't have anything to eat. Our family was able to eat because my father went to the army. I'm also going to be a soldier so that my grandmother can eat. His eyes were blazing, and he devoured it in a hurry, and soon finished the bread.
