Soon, the three servants went back to their rooms to rest, leaving the young man alone to watch the rain under the eaves.

By the dim candlelight on the table facing the window in the room, the young man was reading the book that Mr. Shum had given him earlier.

After a while, a figure could be faintly seen at the west corner of the street running in the rain.

When he got closer, Lu Guan saw that there was a tomboy on the other side, named Qi Qingmiao, the only grandchild of the Qi family on Reshui Street.

This guy was not polite at all, "Lu Guan, can I hide from the rain at your house overnight." ”

The young man held the book in his hand, and the exit was also crisp and neat, leaving no emotion, "No." ”

One question and one answer, neither side gave a reason.

Maybe he felt that he refused too bluntly and bluntly, and he refuted the face of the girl's family.

Lu Guan had no choice but to reluctantly add, "But you can hide from the rain under the eaves with me." When I get inside, you'll have to leave. ”

Qi Qingmiao knew that this was already the greatest kindness to the teenager in several years.

The corners of his mouth were about to be stuffed into a fist.

The tomboy jumped side by side with Lu Guan and squatted beside each other.

Lu Guan didn't stop the other party from reading the book given by the gentleman.

Because Xu Fuzi once said that a person who has read some books and recognized some words has the obligation to tell it to more people to read and listen.

For Lu Guan, who has always been indifferent and unintentional, it is rare to be able to remember this.

Qi Qingmiao just glanced at the contents of the book casually, then turned his head away, and said in disgust, "You are really boring." ”

In fact, because she doesn't know a word of the above content, it's not because the tomboy can't read, in fact, a pair of young people hiding from the rain under the eaves at the moment are still classmates in the school.

It's that when the reader gave the book at that time, he made a little move, and before the boy really read the content, even if it exists at the level of the patriarch, it is difficult to see the content of the book.

Good intentions can be seen.

When approaching Zi, Lu Guan yawned, "Qi Qingmiao, I'm going to sleep." ”

The implication is that it's time for you to leave.

The girl was born in a shallow water street where the poor are gathered, although her parents are alive and there is a grandfather on it, but for some reason, she has suffered a lot since she was a child, and she naturally knows how to read words and feelings.

She stood up with great amusement and was about to leave.

The boy stopped her, "You wait first. ”

Then he entered the house, and when he returned, he had a strange stone covered in lines.

It was the resting stone that he picked up from the mountain, and stretched out his hand in front of the other party, "Oh, I'll give it to you." ”

Qi Qingmiao took the stone and held it tightly in the palm of his hand. Then he plunged into the rain, and when he reached the street, the tomboy suddenly turned around and touched his head innocently.

"Thank you, Lu Guan."

The boy put away the book, "Inexplicable." ”

Then he walked into the inn without looking back.

In fact, he gave the other party a resting stone because he saw something different in the girl. There was a black mist behind Qi Qingmiao, wisps of it, hovering around.

After all, the boy is not hard-hearted, but I just hope that this resting stone will be useful to her.

……

The next morning, the heavy rain had dissipated, and the sky was clear, and it was very spring-like.

Lu Guan was in a posture in the backyard and was boxing.

This set of boxing techniques is rumored to have been created by the ancestor of the Lu family and taught to him by the Ninth Master. The old man smiled at the time and said that although this boxing method cannot make people have much advanced kung fu, it is not difficult to strengthen the body.

The boy was particularly persevering in this matter, and he had been practicing diligently for nine years.

But recently he discovered that one problem is that when he punches, he can always feel the heat in his lower abdomen, as if there is a warm current running around.

After practicing boxing three times, Lu Guan did not pant and his legs did not tremble.

When I came to the front hall of the inn, there were no guests, Siniang had already prepared breakfast, porridge with pickles, and two steamed buns.

After eating, Uncle Jing brought a bowl of black decoction medicine as usual, and took out a very ordinary-looking Wujin pill from his sleeve.

Lu Guan drank the decoction and swallowed the Karasuma into his stomach, which was a process that he had to go through every day since he could remember.

At this moment, a young man dressed plainly and cleanly, with a green onion hanging from under his nose, walked in.

"Lu Guan, Lu Guan, the gilded bridge outside the town has collapsed, do you want to go and see it."

The child's name is Yu Yu, and he is one of Lu Guan's few playmates.

The young man looked at the ninth master and asked with his eyes.

"Two little cubs, let's go, let's go, remember that there are remnants of bridge piers in the river to take one home, and be blessed."

The two nodded, walked out of the inn, and walked towards the gilded bridge in front of the town.

It should be said or not, Chonglou Town is backed by many high mountains, and there is a Yuling River surrounding, which is a majestic weather surrounded by mountains and rivers that is extremely particular about feng shui.

Such a place of Zhong Lingyu is beautiful, and it stands to reason that there should be many talented people.

But in fact, throughout the thousands of years of history of the town, there have been few loud people.

A thousand years ago, there seemed to be only three or four, and in the last hundred years, there are even less, and the Gu family on the side of Shenliu Lane seemed to have an ancestor who was a first-class official in Daling Capital about thirty years ago.

By the time the two of them arrived at the gilded bridge, a large number of people had already gathered there. The bridge had collapsed and fallen into the river, and some of the town's elderly people lamented it.

When the bridge was built, one hundred and hundred piers were built on both sides, and the craftsmen carved one hundred and eight different rare birds and beasts, and also used gilt dots, which is also the origin of the bridge's name.

There was an old man in the crowd who was over the age of six, holding a dragon head crutch, and Lu Guan and Lu Guan both recognized him.

It was the old lady of the Song family in Shenliu Lane, he raised the cane in his hand, knocked on the ground heavily, and said, "This bridge is handed down by our ancestors, and those auspicious birds and beast-style piers are to suppress an old Jiao in Lingyang Pond in Houshan." Now that the bridge has collapsed, I think each family in our town will collect some money and rebuild the bridge. ”

The old lady said something fair and selfless, and everyone nodded in unison.

It didn't take long for the onlookers to go their separate ways, and it was the spring plowing season, and the farming was extraordinary.

The children jumped into the water and went to grab the pier to go home.

Yu Yu was not willing to be lonely, pulled Lu Guan into the water, and grabbed a bridge pier each.

Both of them were lucky, Yu Yu grabbed Pixiu, and Lu Guan was a Qilin.

Just when the two were complacent and about to take it home to show off, a voice suddenly stopped them.

"Lu Guan, Yu Yu, you two mud legs will stop for me."

The young man turned his head and frowned slightly, the person who stopped them was no stranger, it was Zhou Yin who was born in Chang'an Street, one of the two wealthy streets and alleys in the town.

"Something?"

"Of course", the other party walked up to Lu Guan and the others with a very dragging look, and said in a commanding tone, "Give me all the stone piers in your arms." ”

"Zhou Xiaoya, how old are you?"

Yu Yu was the first to disagree.

A few servants behind Zhou Yin were about to attack the slugs.

Lu Guan quickly grabbed Jiading's wrist and pushed him back.

looked at Zhou Yin with a smile again, "Why, I want to be beaten again, your sister is not here." ”

Zhou Yin's expression changed, "You two wait for me." ”

"What are you doing?"
