"Bang bang bang", after a few knocks on the door, the door of Wufu slowly opened a crack, "Okay, okay......" A group of ragged victims gathered in front of the door seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, and quickly squeezed up.

Menzi was startled, pushed the door suddenly, quickly tied it, leaned on the door and cried with a sad face: "Don't come, I will basically give you food every day this month, no matter how good Master Wu is, he can't care about his wife and children, and we are running out of food here." ”

Outside the door, there was another wail and pleading. Wu Xiangshan in the hall heard the movement and sighed heavily, "Heaven and earth are unkind to all things as dogs!" Alas! It hasn't rained for several years, this god is really black-hearted! ”

Liu, who was on the side, saw her husband sighing and sighed, and stepped forward to caress his back and comfort, "Don't be sad, husband, no one can do anything about God." The concubine heard that the emperor had left for Qingyun Sect three days ago to ask the immortals to help, and the immortals were about to come. ”

Hearing his wife say this, Wu Xiangshan could only nod, "If the immortals are willing to make a move, there should be no problem." How about Mingdao homework? ”

Liu laughed and said, "Very good, Mr. Zhang said that he will be able to take the children's test next year." ”

"Hahaha, I have the style of the past!" When it comes to his son, Wu Xiangshan is obviously in a much better mood. The Wu family is thin, but Wu Xiangshan was obsessed with the imperial examination in his early years, and in order to study and sell his ancestral property, he failed for many years, and finally Wu Xiangshan's mother ordered him to suspend the imperial examination and marry a wife and have children as soon as possible, but unfortunately the old lady still failed to see her grandson born and died. This made Wu Xiangshan feel guilty, but fortunately, what made Wu Xiangshan happy was that his son was smart and clever since he was a child, and Mr. Xixi, who invited him, said that he had the qualifications to be the champion. This is not a scene, at the age of ten, Wu Mingdao learned all the needs of the children's exam and memorized it like a stream.

"Don't let Mingdao go out lately, it's too chaotic outside. In this year, people are very hungry but can do anything! Wu Xiangshanpo said with some seriousness.

"The concubine can save herself." Liu nodded in agreement.

"Brother Dao, come out, there's no one here." A little boy in tattered clothes with a dirty face shouted inside the courtyard wall next to the back door of Wu's mansion.

"Young master, you can't turn it over! The old man had to kill me. A small guy in the courtyard cried and hugged Wu Mingdao's leg with a sad face.

"Eh, I'm going to kick you if you drag me again. Young master, when I go out, I am doing good deeds, as the saying goes, 'Saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter', why are you so stupid? As he spoke, Wu Mingdao, who was wearing clean cloth clothes and shoes, kicked the little guy away. Sloppy, haven't you also practiced a few tricks? You can just flip it out with me, what can happen? ”

The little guy looked reluctant, but he couldn't resist Wu Mingdao, so he had to go out with him. "Brother Dao, slow down, come." The children outside the courtyard wall immediately turned down when they saw Wu Mingdao and hurriedly stepped forward to pick him up.

"Dog, is the news you got reliable? Are the immortals really coming to our county? Wu Mingdao flipped it over and asked the kid about the dirt on his body.

"That's for sure, my father served in the county government, and I heard what the county lord said himself." The dog puffed out his chest with some pride.

"Then you really still accept disciples? Why don't I believe it, my father is so well-informed, I haven't even heard of it. Wu Mingdao was still a little skeptical.

"Hey, you don't know. Who doesn't know that Master Wu wants his son to study, what is that called, it's called light...... Illuminate the lintel, right? ”

Hearing this, Wu Mingdao was silent, and the dog also saw that Wu Mingdao was in a bad mood and quietly followed him. The three of them walked to a shed built by the government, and saw a group of refugees licking the empty buckets used for soup kitchen, "What's the point of reading, people's power is always limited, you look at what the book says, what can save these hungry victims?" Wu Mingdao fixed his gaze.

"Brother Dao, go in, I'll be waiting for you here." When the three of them came to the gate of the county office, the dog was scared and did not dare to go in.

Wu Mingdao thought for a while: "Huzi, you wait here with him, in case something goes wrong, you two will also have a care." ”

"Young master, this can't work, what happened to you, how can I deal with the master and the lady!?" Sloppy listened and hurriedly objected.

Looking at the sloppy and crying face, Wu Mingdao laughed for a while, "What can happen in the county office." With that, he went to the county office.

The Wu family is a big taxpayer in Xiangfu County, and often helps the victims, especially during the drought in recent years, it spares no effort, so it has a great reputation, and the government is willing to make friends with it. The two gatekeepers in front of the county yamen did not dare to slack off when they saw the son of the Wu family coming, and hurriedly sent someone to report the county order.

After a while, a thin official with a beard and a thin figure came out, "Hey, Mingdao, it's so messy outside, how dare your father let you out like this, isn't this nonsense?" "This thin official is called Meng Song, who is now nearly fifty years old, upright and unwilling to rely on the powerful and often speaks up, so he has been a seven-grade county magistrate for many years, and Wu Xiangshan is also a gentleman's friend.

"Uncle Meng, I came out secretly, and I have something to look for you." Wu Mingdao said to Meng Song mysteriously.

Meng Song looked amused for a while, and looked at the master on the side, "Oh? This little guy has something to talk about when he comes to me. Come on, Zhang San, you go to Wu's mansion and tell Master Wu to let him come and get someone, hahaha. The official on the side received the order and left immediately. When he arrived in the back room, Wu Mingdao poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip, "I'm dying of thirst." After drinking, he saw that the county order was looking at him, smiled embarrassedly, and hurriedly poured a cup of tea for Meng Song.

Meng Song looked at this cute child and laughed again, "Eccentric. Say, what are you looking for me, Uncle has been very busy in the recent eventful season. ”

"Uncle, is there an immortal coming to our county soon?" Hearing Wu Mingdao ask, Meng Song raised his eyelids and smiled, "No, who did you listen to?" ”

"My dad told me. My father said that when the immortals came, our county would be able to adjust the wind and rain immediately. ”

"Nonsense! I don't know how this is ......" Meng Song stood up angrily after hearing Wu Mingdao's words, but before he finished speaking, Meng Song stopped talking.

"That is, there are indeed immortals coming?" Wu Mingdao looked at Meng Song with wide eyes.

Meng Song suddenly realized that this kid was lying to me, "You little kid is cunning." He scolded with a smile and then continued to speak, "Even if it's true, you study obediently, these have nothing to do with you." ”

"Doesn't that immortal accept me as a disciple and have something to do with me?" Wu Mingdao muttered quietly.

Meng Song's face turned cold, and he shook his head again to return to normal, thinking secretly, "What am I talking about with a little child?" He took a sip of tea and pinched Wu Mingdao's face with his hand, "What's so good about becoming an immortal, what's the point of living hundreds of years old by yourself and watching the people who grew up with you die." Studying obediently and serving the court when you grow up is the right way. ”

"In the final analysis, serving the court is to save the people from fire and water, so wouldn't it be better for me to become an immortal?" Wu Mingdao argued.

Meng Song looked at him and shook his head helplessly. "Brother Meng, I'm really embarrassed, the son is stubborn, and he actually ran out of the house over the wall, it's really funny." I saw Wu Xiangshan, who was wearing a Confucian shirt, walking in and bowing to Meng Song. Although Wu Xiangshan has long given up the imperial examination, he still has the feelings of a scholar in his heart, and he still wears a Confucian shirt to treat customers and talk about business every day.

"Eh~ children, it's okay to be naughty, I'm afraid I'll go astray, hahaha." Meng Song pointed at Wu Mingdao and teased.

Wu Xiangshan was a little unclear, but he saw that Wu Mingdao was a little aggrieved and pursed his mouth, "I want to become an immortal, and after becoming an immortal, I can make the world like spring all year round!" Meng Song looked innocent and didn't speak, but Wu Xiangshan was anxious, "What kind of immortal have you become, I think it's because I usually neglect to discipline you, so you don't know what to do!" I haven't read the book clearly, and I still want to become an immortal! After that, he was going to beat Wu Mingdao, and Meng Song hurried to stop him.

Just between this tugging and pulling, a servant ran in in a hurry, and his hat fell to the ground, "Lord Xianzun, several immortal elders said that they came to pray for rain in our county on the order of their master. ”
