Zhao Rui thought of this, and was about to go out, but suddenly remembered that Yu Ren was still lying on the bed, and she stopped again.

"Don't worry! I'm fine. You go and find out Brother Yang's matter first. It's kind of helping me, but it's a matter of heart. ”

Zhao Rui thought for a while, "I'll let Yun'er handle this matter." It's just a trivial matter of finding a boatman. I asked her to bring the boatman here. ”

"It's still ......," Yu Ren had yet to say. In fact, he felt that Zhao Rui was taking care of himself like this, which made him feel very uncomfortable. He is a person who does not like to be favored, and now Zhao Rui treats him like this. made his heart feel more and more that he owed Zhao Rui too much.

"Needless to say. That's it. Zhao Rui said, called a little girl and asked her to call Yun'er.

After Yun'er came, she listened to the task given to her by Zhao Rui, and without saying a word, she went to do it.

When it was time for dinner, Yun'er returned. The owner of the ship was found. Yun'er brought the shipowner to Tingyuxuan.

The owner of the ship was a little old man of fifty or sixty years, not very tall.

"Miss, this Hu Gong is the owner of the ship that day. When Yang Xianggong got on the boat, he was also on the boat. ”

Zhao Rui nodded, but did not speak. Obviously, she wanted to leave the inquiry to Yu Ren. Yu Ren naturally understood her intentions.

"Gong Hu, you don't have to be nervous, we just want to ask you a few questions. After asking, I will send you back immediately. Yu Ren saw that the little old man trembled a little as soon as he entered the door, and knew that he must be too nervous. However, this is also normal, a person of his status must have never entered such a large manor.

The old man nodded.

"I don't know, Hu Gong, do you know Yang Ju Yang Xianggong?"

The old man nodded. "Yang Xianggong's name is spread in Hangzhou City, and Xiao Lao'er is fortunate to have seen it once or twice."

"So, can you tell us what happened that day after Yang Xianggong was invited to your ship by a son surnamed Li?"

Old man Hu lowered his head and thought about it, "That day should be the first day of the competition between Donglin and Wan Song." At that time, I also went to Wushan Square to see, and when I saw that Yang Xianggong lost, we were all very sorry. After watching the game, I hurried back to the lake. Not long after, those ministers from Wansong Academy came to the lake to celebrate, and they chartered my boat.

Although I don't like these people, I can't choose customers based on my own likes and dislikes. So, I took over the business. ”

When Yu Ren heard this, he interjected and asked. "Did all the five people from Wansong Academy who participated in the competition go?"

"It's all there. In addition, there were three or four Xianggongs who did not participate in the competition. They chartered my boat, set off from Yongjinmen, played for a while on the island in the middle of the lake, and prepared to go ashore at Qiantangmen. turned out to run into Yang Xianggong. The man surnamed Tang asked someone to invite Yang Xianggong on the boat.

Originally, Yang Xianggong did not plan to get on the ship. But the person who came out to invite said that Tang Xianggong was also on the boat, so Yang Xianggong came.

When Yang Xianggong got on the boat, they asked me to sail the boat to the island in the middle of the lake. Everyone went to the island, and I was worried that they would not know if they would embarrass Yang Xianggong, so I quietly followed behind.

There were not many tourists on the island in the middle of the lake that day, and as soon as a few people went to the island, Tang Xianggong said to Yang Xianggong: "Tomorrow will be a sword competition." I don't know how Brother Zhiyong's swordsmanship is practiced? The competition is different, let's write poems and fight tea. If you lose, you will lose your life if you don't make a good fuss! ’

Yang Xianggong smiled lightly, "Brother Mingyuan's words are exaggerated!" Tomorrow's game doesn't use a real sword, it's just a few pieces of wood, how can it hurt people's lives. ’

When Tang Xianggong heard this, he laughed, "Brother Zhiyong is inevitably too lonely and unheard!" As a true swordsman, even if he is holding a wooden sword in his hand, he can still fight tigers and dragons in the deep mountains and abyss. After speaking, Tang Xianggong said to the person named Li Qi who was following them, "Seventh brother, why don't you let us open our eyes today." ’

Li Qi didn't say much, only took out a dagger and cut a branch on the side of the road, cutting it a few times.

'Go, bring my great general.' Young Master Li on the side saw that Li Qi had made a wooden sword, so he ordered. Immediately someone got on board and led a large dog with them.

I saw them leading such a vicious dog to the island, thinking that they were going to use this vicious dog to deal with Yang Xianggong, which made me worry for a while.

However, they led the dog to the island and did not let it bite Yang Xianggong, but led it to the front of that Li Qi.

Li Qi looked at the big dog in front of him, held the wooden sword in his hand, and called out in his mouth, "Hi! ’。 Then he saw his sword stabbed forward, and with a single stab it into the neck of the great dog. Immediately, blood flowed down the wooden sword. The dog, which was more than half a man tall, struggled a few times, and finally fell to the ground, but could not utter a single cry.

At that time, several onlookers let out an exclamation. Countless praises rang out immediately. Yang Xianggong was also stunned at that time. When Tang Zhe and the others were ready to sail back, Yang Xianggong was still standing in place. I walked over and helped him onto the boat.

Later, the boat docked, and Tang Zhe and they paid for the boat and left. Yang Xianggong also got off the boat. Later, I didn't know. ”

After listening to Old Man Hu's words, everyone finally understood what happened. finally knew why Yang Ju was drunk the night before the game. Obviously, he lost the courage to participate because he saw the scene of Li Qimu killing the dog with a sword.

However, he knows very well the consequences of not competing. In the conflict, Yang Ju was very painful, so he had to drown his sorrows with wine.

And when the game ended, although the Donglin Party did not lose, Wansong Academy did not lose either. However, Yang Ju lost. When he finally couldn't overcome his fear of death and avoided the game drunk, he knew he had lost, completely and cleanly.

After Old Man Hu left, Yun'er also retreated. Only Zhao Rui and Yu Ren were left in the room. Neither of them spoke for a moment. And Zhao Rui's mood is much more complicated than Yu Ren's. Yu Ren just sighed with emotion, Yang Ju, a good Donglin Junyan, was ruined like this.

And Zhao Rui is lamenting her fate. In the past, her senior brother and fiancé were young talents admired by everyone, but from now on, he will become an alcoholic. What's more, because of Yang Ju's performance in this competition, his reputation was ruined.

Although he was not prevented from taking the scientific examination because of the failure of the bet, he would never have the opportunity to go to high school again because of his reputation for cowardice and cowardice. No one likes a cowardly person, no matter how well your essay is written. This point is not only clear to Tang Zhe, but also clear to Zhao Rui.

Yang Ju's matter has finally been clarified. However, this did not help Yang Ju to regain his strength. Although Yu Ren wanted to help Yang Ju, he couldn't think of any good ideas for a while. And Li Ying has not been to Li Zhuang since the rockery incident that day.

Yu Ren recuperated in Lizhuang for another six or seven days. The wound in his lower abdomen was completely healed. It's just that the scar hasn't fallen off yet. After lying in bed for so many days, Yu Ren really suffocated. Although Zhao Rui rushed over at dawn every day to talk to him to relieve his boredom, he didn't go back until late at night. But Yu Ren still felt that time was too difficult.

Yu Ren couldn't help but sigh again, in the era of computers and televisions, how sad this boring time is!

Finally, after Dr. An came to see Yu Ren's wound today, he said, "If you want to get out of bed now, you can also get out of bed and move a little." It's just better to be supported by someone, and don't use a lot of force, so as not to break the wound.

When Yu Ren heard Dr. An's words, he was even happier than eating ginseng fruit. Without waiting for Dr. An's words to fall, Yu Ren couldn't help but throw away the quilt and wanted to get up. It startled Dr. An on the side.

"Yu Xianggong be careful. Although I was able to get out of bed and move a little. But don't take it as usual. You must move slowly, pay great attention, do not touch the wound, do not use too much force, and do not bend over and squat. ......" Dr. An said a lot of words one after another.

Yu Ren nodded again and again, but in fact, he didn't listen to a few words in his heart. But Zhao Rui on the side kept everything in mind seriously.

After Dr. An left, Yu Ren was about to get out of bed. Although Zhao Rui repeatedly advised him to rest for two more days before getting out of bed. But he didn't listen. At this time, a girl from outside came to report, saying that Lu Xiangsheng was coming.

When Yu Ren heard that Lu Xiangsheng was coming, he no longer cared about Zhao Rui's persuasion, and lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed. Zhao Rui saw that there was no way, so she hurriedly came over to support her, while asking Yun'er to bring the newly made robe at the head of the bed and put it on for Yu Ren.
