Wang Wu, who returned home, mentioned to his wife about meeting Zhao Qingshan's father and son.

"Why are you so curious?"

White Lotus looked down on Zhao Qingshan's family from the bottom of her heart, and she didn't even like it when she mentioned it.

Wang Wu picked up the cigarette holder and sat on the small stool, took a puff with a grunt, and spit out a puff of smoke with satisfaction.

"Actually, Zhao Qingshan's guy is not as simple as you think, and Zhao Yan's kid, their family is pretending to be stupid."

In fact, he just thought that Zhao Qingshan's family was a little cute at first, after all, no one wants to be poor, and people can't blame others for being poor.

So he had more eyes and eyes, and he always paid attention to them inadvertently, which was good, a few days ago, he actually discovered some things that he couldn't understand inadvertently revealed in the depths of Zhao Qingshan's eyes.

At first, he thought that he was wrong, or that he was thinking too much, but since then, he has deliberately paid attention to Zhao Qingshan's family.

Sure enough, although Zhao Yan was also pretending, he was still young after all, just yesterday, when Zhao Yan was rescued by Ma Dashan, Wang Wu saw something, but he was not sure, so he never told anyone, for fear of being regarded as a neuropath.

But he knew that Zhao Yan was definitely pretending, and thinking that everyone didn't know that a child could pretend, he felt a little scary.

When he met the father and son today, he subconsciously felt that Zhao Qingshan was going to send Zhao Yan to the academy, and it was very likely that he was going to the first academy.

The thought of this made him feel a little crazy.

"Playing stupid? I'm afraid you're thinking too much! Just those two fathers and sons, do you still need to pretend to be stupid? Is there room for it? His wife didn't believe it at all.

"Look, it's very likely that Zhao Qingshan sent Zhao Yan to the First Academy this time." His wife didn't believe it, and Wang Wu wasn't surprised, after all, he didn't dare to believe it himself.

Hearing this, Wang Wu's wife smiled, and now she was even more sure that her husband was thinking too much.

"First Academy!? I think you're stupid, aren't you? As far as Zhao Qingshan's family is concerned, even if they are not stupid, do they have the money to go to the First Academy? ”

"It seems to be!"

Wang Wu shook his head, and felt that he was thinking too much.

Not to mention Zhao Qingshan, even if it is himself, he does not have the ability to send his son to the First Academy, after all, there is more than one son in the family, and a large family is still alive.

......

It was dawn, and Zhao Qingshan's father and son also arrived in Qiangshan Town.

Looking at the various local snacks sold on the street, Zhao Yan has a fatal temptation, and these various snacks with color and flavor are tempting him all the time.

Especially when he got up in the morning, he had no appetite and ate too little, and now he has walked for half an hour, and it is even more unbearable to see this.

However, Zhao Qingshan, who came out of eating at home, obviously did not prepare to eat.

Zhao Yan couldn't help but didn't say it, he knew that his family was poor, and his father had already given everything in order to give him the best academy to study, and he shouldn't have more requirements.

"In the future, I must eat whatever I want!"

Zhao Yan secretly swore in his heart that he was even more determined to study hard.

......

Didn't spend much time in Qiangshan Town.

They took advantage of the large number of pedestrians on the official road in the early morning and continued to hurry.

......

Half an hour later, Zhao Qingshan and his son walked into a valley, surrounded by cliffs.

The early morning sun can't shine here, plus there is a small stream flowing by, and the surrounding plants and roads are damp, even Zhao Yan, who has walked for such a long time, feels a little cool when he walks here.

Of course, this bit of coolness made Zhao Yan very refreshed, which made Zhao Yan want to rest here.

"Dad, you're tired of carrying such a big bag of rice, aren't you? Would you like to take a break? ”

Zhao Yan was very tired, but he was embarrassed to say that he was tired, so he looked back at Zhao Qingshandao, who was covered in sweat.

"Hurry up!"

Zhao Qingshan urged.

"That's what you said!"

Zhao Yan sped up a little, in fact, they themselves walked very fast.

Peng Peng Peng !!

With a few sounds, before Zhao Yan could react, he was kicked in the stomach and fell to the ground, and the bursts of violent colic almost made Zhao Yan faint.

Enduring the pain of a broken intestine, Zhao Yan saw three young men with daggers in their hands.

Two of them had daggers on Zhao Qingshan's neck, making Zhao Qingshan dare not make the slightest move.

Seeing these people, Zhao Yan subconsciously thought of the few young people in the village who had nothing to do.

The person who kicked him just now looked the youngest, about sixteen or seventeen years old, but he had a beast-like feeling on his body, as if he would eat people at any time, which made Zhao Yan very scared and didn't dare to make a sound, so he could only endure the severe pain and watch quietly.

"Don't move, hand over the money!"

A young man of about twenty years old, who looks okay, is a little angry, seems to be the leader, the dagger in his hand is placed on Zhao Qingshan's neck, and he said viciously, as if he wants Zhao Qingshan to know how vicious he is and can do anything.

Zhao Qingshan glanced at Zhao Yan out of the corner of his eyes, and also felt the dagger on his waist, for a moment, he wanted to fight back, but after hesitating for a moment, he took out all the copper coins in his pocket, and there were twenty copper coins there.

If it was just one person, he could try, but the three young people who had practiced martial arts in Yin Xian still had sharp weapons in their hands, so he didn't need to try to fight hard at all, it was just to die.

"Give! It's all for you! ”

Zhao Qingshan looked very scared and flustered.

The young man who took the lead saw that there were only twenty Wen, his brows furrowed slightly, and he directly overthrew Zhao Qingshan.

Zhao Qingshan was already carrying more than 100 catties of rice on his back, and this push ...... Mi and the people fell heavily to the ground, and they couldn't break free for a while.

"Old fellow, take it all out!"

"That's all I have to offer!"

Zhao Qingshan said immediately, and at the same time broke free and stood up and turned all the pockets on his body, saying that it was really that.

However, the person who kicked Zhao Yan just now came over and slapped Zhao Qingshan directly, knocking Zhao Qingshan to the ground, and there were two more slap marks on his face in an instant, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding.

"You're looking for death, aren't you? You Yin Yin took your son to school, how can you just have such a little money? When are we stupid? Where is the silver ticket hidden? Is it a sandwich for the clothes? ”

After saying that, the already tattered clothes were torn again.

"I'm not taking my son to school, my family is poor, and I can't afford to let him go to the academy, let alone the academy, as for the silver ticket, I haven't seen that thing, I just want to take him to the county to see it today!"

The corners of Zhao Qingshan's mouth spit out bloody teeth, and he said a little vaguely.

"Damn!"

However, the young man didn't believe Zhao Qingshan at all, and with the swing of a dagger more than a foot long, one of Zhao Qingshan's left little fingers was directly cut off, and blood suddenly gushed out like a spring, but Zhao Qingshan didn't say a word, just held it with his right hand.

Only the bruises on his forehead and the constant sweat showed that he was in great pain.

He didn't call out, because he was afraid that it would have a bad impact on Zhao Yan, so he tried hard to endure it.

"I really didn't bring any money!"

Zhao Qingshan's words had a trill, and his little finger was cut off, which really hurt.

The corner of his eyes looked at Zhao Yan from time to time, Zhao Yan had been lying on the ground, very worried, but there was no way, he didn't know martial arts, and in the face of these people who knew martial arts, there was no resistance at all, not to mention the three of them, and they still had weapons in their hands.

I only felt a burst of weakness.

As long as he has learned some martial arts, he doesn't have to be afraid of these young people with his IQ, but he just hasn't learned martial arts, he is just the most ordinary person, and he has no power to resist in front of these young people.

It can only be at the mercy of others.

"I'm Nima!"

"Someone's coming!"

The irascible young man originally wanted to cut another finger of Zhao Qingshan, but was interrupted by the young man in the lead.

"You're in luck!"

The three of them quickly ran in the direction where Zhao Yan and the others came from, and soon disappeared out of sight, and then Zhao Yan saw several middle-aged men walking over with things on their backs.

"Dad?"

Zhao Yan endured the pain and looked at Zhao Qingshan worriedly, at this time Zhao Qingshan had already tore off one of his sleeves and was wrapping up the wound.

Burst!

"I'm fine, how are you?"

Zhao Qingshan spit out a mouthful of blood, glanced at Zhao Yan, spoke a little slurred, and calmly continued to bandage.

"It's fine!"

Zhao Yan endured the pain and stood up and said, it was indeed not as painful as just now at this time.

"It's okay, let's go!"

After bandaging it, Zhao Qingshan picked up the rice on the ground and continued to hurry.

Zhao Yan didn't speak, what happened just now had a great impact on him, and his whole body was trembling at that time, which was afraid.

At this time, he was not in the mood to speak, but he walked in front of Zhao Qingshan and quickened his pace, compared to what happened just now, this tiredness was nothing.

At this time, those middle-aged men were only about ten meters away from Zhao Qingshan.

This time, Zhao Qingshan deliberately kept his speed the same as the group of people behind, and kept a similar distance from the people behind.

......

"Dad! How much longer? ”

As they got closer and closer to the county seat, there were more pedestrians on the official road, occasionally there were people on horseback who overtook them, and there were also people who came out of the county seat, and at this time, Zhao Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief and dared to stop and rest.

And at this time, an hour and a half had passed, Zhao Qingshan had shed too much blood, and he was tired, although he didn't faint, he really couldn't hold on, and lay directly on the ground.

Zhao Yan is the same, he ate too little in the morning, and now he is hungry and tired, and because he has walked so many roads for the first time, his feet seem to be no longer his own, and the soles of his feet are blistered, and the pain is unbearable.

I forgot a lot about what I just did.

"It's coming! The top of this mountain is the county seat of Genting! Zhao Qingshan, who was half red and swollen and half pale, lay on the ground and gasped.

......

Niuqian Village.

Wang Wu's family invited some relatives and neighbors to help with the work today, and it was very lively.

Men and women get together, chatting and working, but it makes people forget the fatigue and boredom of work.

Laughing together, working is also a lot of happiness, so the people in the village are often like this, today everyone does my family's work together, and you do your family's work together on cloudy days.

Everyone brought cold rice and pickled vegetables from their own homes to eat together at noon, which was much more atmospheric than eating alone, and the ordinary meals felt delicious.

"My family said that Zhao Qingshan sent Zhao Yan to the First Academy!"

Eating lunch in the field, chatting and chatting, White Lotus talked about Zhao Qingshan's father and son that her husband said in the morning.

"Hahaha!!"

Everyone laughed.

"I'm just guessing, not saying they actually went to the First Academy!"

Wang Wu suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and hurriedly explained.

He himself felt ridiculous about his own speculation in the morning, and he was a little embarrassed to admit it in front of so many people.

"First Academy is not for everyone!"

"Indeed, the first academy not only has a desperate high tuition fee, but the rules inside are also quite strict, and even the eldest son and second grandson of the old gentleman died there, not to mention ordinary people.

It's only the children of rich families who are suitable there...... It's not a place where we poor people go at all. ”

"So even if Zhao Qingshan really did everything he could to send Zhao Yan to the First Academy, he wouldn't have achieved anything, either he would die there, or he would waste a lot of time and money!"

"Maybe Zhao Qingshan thought that the old man could set up a private school without graduating, so he thought that his son could be the same as the old man even if he couldn't graduate."

Everyone talked and laughed.

"In fact, the older generation knows that the old gentleman was a genius when he was a child, and his grades in the town were too outstanding to be sent to the first college.

The reason why he didn't graduate was just because he had only studied for three years, and his family couldn't support it, and even his relatives had borrowed it, so he really had no choice but to let him come back, otherwise it would be no problem to graduate after another year or two.

So not everyone is an old gentleman. ”

"What do you mean by that? Zhao Qingshan just didn't have the ability to send Zhao Yan to the First Academy! White Lotus said with a smile.

"Yes! Also! ”

Everyone laughed a few words and brought it over, and it was not taken as a thing.

Soon we talked about other things.

......
