"Sir, you know that I came from a farming family, and I have been playing by the water since I was a child. Why don't I go down to the river and catch a few fish, and grill them with my brothers. Not only can you have a full stomach, but you can also enjoy the fun of the mountains, what do you think? ”

Tai Yongning didn't worry that others would dislike his background, and generously said that he wanted to catch fish.

Mr. Wu didn't wait to speak, but his friend in Tsing Yi smiled, "Oh, brother Xian, your little disciple still has such skills, so you must show it." I don't think we'll get much out of fishing today, so maybe we have to follow them to get a taste of the fish. ”

The rest of the people were also laughing, obviously interested.

When Mr. Wu saw this, he said, "Okay, Yongning, you go fishing and playing." If there is a harvest, of course, it is even better. If not, don't be discouraged. Your leg is healed, and don't be cold. ”

"Yes, sir, thank you for your concern." Tai Yongning saluted and thanked him.

Song Hui and others are also teenagers, so they naturally have no shortage of playfulness, and they have been pampered by their families since they were children, and they have never caught a fish.

At this time, they followed Tai Yongning to the downstream seven or eight zhang away, and rolled up their trouser legs and went into the water, which was really novel and exciting.

It's not important to catch fish anymore, it's the water that's the key!

I don't know who started first, you tease me with a handful of water, I tease you, and it's a lot of fun.

A few gentlemen watched from afar, and they also couldn't close their mouths with Le, and saw the shadow of their youth in them again.

Tai Yongning was also happy to play, but he was still worried about filling his stomach.

Fortunately, Yongfeng and a few other scholars are quite reliable, they have been catching fish, and they have also gained a lot.

When Tai Yongning finally remembered what was going on, he took a tree branch and pierced two stupid fish, and the vigorous predation activity was over.

The fire was lit early, not far from the gentlemen.

Tai Yongning and Yongfeng started to make a shelf with branches, and grilled the wet clothes and fish at the same time.

Fresh river fish the size of a palm, gutted and scaled, smeared with fine salt, worn on tree branches, and inserted by the red campfire, barely a quarter of an hour to give off their fragrance.

Tai Yongning's stomach growled more happily, but several gentlemen had no intention of fishing, and looked at it frequently.

Where is the meaty smell of fruit and dim sum!

They just yearn for the immortal realm of food and drink, but in their stomachs are real mortal stomachs!

Wait, wait, wait, finally grilled fish!

Tai Yongning took a few and hurriedly gave them to the gentlemen.

It's not that he has the eyes, and he wants to fight for the opportunity to show his face in front of the gentlemen, but it is really ...... He was afraid that the saliva of the gentlemen would flow more rapidly than the river!

Mr. Wu took a bite, his eyes lit up, and he praised vaguely, "Well, it's not bad." ”

The blue-clothed friend beside him was much more honest than him, and shouted, "This is not only good, the natural taste, the essence of water is nurtured, and it is roasted with the essence of fire, and the bliss of the world is nothing more than that!" ”

Mr. Wu glared at him and scolded with a smile, "I can't stop your mouth if I eat, my own disciple, I don't want him to be proud if I don't praise him too much!" ”

After that, he motioned to Yongning, "Go back and eat, be careful that your senior brothers have snatched up all the grilled fish." ”

Tai Yongning couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly saluted and went back to join the army of fish grabbers.

With Yongfeng here, how could he let his younger brother go hungry, and he had already held the two branches in his arms!

For a while, everyone was enjoying the delicious grilled fish, but they didn't pay attention to the caravan passing by on the official road not far away.

The smell of grilled fish blows along the summer breeze, causing the hungry people to move their noses and talk about it.

"Where did the grilled fish smell from, it's so delicious!"

"That's it, my stomach is screaming."

"There are still twenty miles into the city, and you must have a full meal when the time comes."

On the last carriage of the convoy, a thin black boy sat down, not knowing what he was thinking, when he suddenly heard the noise and turned his head to look over.

As a result, in the next moment, his face lit up with ecstasy, and he jumped out of the carriage and shouted.

"Second brother! Second brother Yongning! ”

Tai Yongning was picking fish bones when he suddenly heard someone calling his name, and he thought he had heard it wrong.

When I turned my head and made a careful distinction, I found that the kid who came running was very familiar.

Ruiyang ...... Ruiyang?! ”

He stood up abruptly and greeted him!

"Ruiyang, why are you here! Didn't you go to Shunde Mansion? ”

Tai Yongning hugged Chen Ruiyang, full of doubts, but his subordinates patted Chen Ruiyang's tattered cotton clothes, and then looked at the faint bruises on his neck and dirty cheeks, and immediately guessed most of them!

This kid was wronged and ran back to them!

Chen Ruiyang wanted to speak, but tears flowed down his eyes, his throat was blocked, and he couldn't make a sound at all.

Tai Yongning felt that he had been trembling, and he was really distressed.

When Chen Ruiyang didn't go to find his father, because his identity had to be kept secret, he couldn't go out because he had to keep his identity secret.

It just so happens that he is also recuperating from his injuries, so the two have been together for the longest time, and they both like to read, and they get along very well.

I didn't expect ......

Tai Yongning thought about it and said, "Ruiyang, do you want to go back to Taijia Village?" Then you wait, I'll help you talk to the caravan, you follow me first. I'm going to take the exam soon, and I'll take you home in ten days, okay? ”

Chen Ruiyang nodded heavily and slowly loosened Yongning's sleeve.

Tai Yongning hurriedly said to the gentlemen, and then walked to the official road.

Because of Chen Ruiyang's sudden escape, the caravan has stopped.

Originally, the caravan steward's face was not good, but seeing that Tai Yongning was dressed as a scholar, and there were several middle-aged people with extraordinary complexions sitting not far away, he was a little polite when he spoke.

"I wonder what this little gentleman has to say?"

"The little brother who ran to see me just now is a distant relative of my family, who was left out because of some accidents, and now when he sees me, he naturally wants to go home with me." Tai Yongning saluted and said, "Thank you for taking care of my little brother all the way, I don't know if he is an employee or a partner of the team, but there are unsettled food and clothing expenses?" ”

The steward hurriedly returned the salute, feeling a little empty.

Chen Ruiyang joined their caravan half a month ago, he thought he was just a beggar begging for a living everywhere, so he didn't ask for any money, but he didn't instruct him to work all the way, and even ate only once a day, and he had to follow the guard at night.

That's really not a good idea......

"Mr. Xiao is polite, it's just a meeting in Pingshui, just take a ride along the way. It's not worth it to be so thankful for the little gentleman! Since the little brother has found his relatives, we don't have to worry about it, so we are in a hurry. ”

Tai Yongning is not the simple boy in the countryside who was originally there, and he learned a lot of skills in observing words and emotions outside with his husband, and he saw a little bit at this time, so he got out of the way.

"Well, if it has a chance to see you again in the future, I will definitely ask the elders of the clan to come forward and thank the steward."

"Well said, well said." The caravan steward responded, and then hurriedly beckoned everyone to hurry again.

Tai Yongning watched the convoy go away, and when he went back, he said to Mr. Wu, "Sir, the disciple suddenly met the little brother who was lost in the distant relative's house, so take him back to wash up." I can't serve Mr. by his side, and I ask Mr. for forgiveness. ”
