In the courtyard, Shan Fang's face suddenly became gloomy, and she kicked the snowdrift piled up by the wall with her embroidered shoes a few times with her hatred, and loudly scolded the maid who cleaned the snow in the yard.

The mean words were sharp, and Shan Fang knew that the Shan Wuju couple in the house would definitely be able to hear it.

Then, Shan Fang took her son Shan Yiwu and turned away, not even bothering to take a second look at the skirt that was soiled by the snow.

The brocade-clothed man followed.

From entering to going out, this Shan Fang's husband did not open his mouth again except for kowtowing and saying a few auspicious words.

……

"The family is unfortunate." With Shan Fang's departure, Shan Wuju's face showed a rare look of loneliness.

He looked at the courtyard in a daze, as decades passed, and the newly built mansion had become yellowed and dilapidated.

The courtyard wall, which is rarely exposed to sunlight, grows moss and green vines from the bottom of the wall, and a few yellowed weeds are entwined with the dry green vines......

Shan Wuju moved his gaze slightly, and saw a few sections of the corridor guardrail with paint peeling, and the shirt wood inside it was blackened, and it was rotten.

This old mansion should have been a witness to the family's wealth for nearly a hundred years, and it was enough to invite merit and boast to the ancestors after death, and become the envy of the villagers......

But at this moment, Shan Wuju did not have any joy in his heart.

"Master, I'll leave first." Seeing this, Wei Tu knew that he shouldn't stay here now, so he bowed and said goodbye.

Shan Wuju nodded and agreed.

——The family reunited at the beginning of the New Year, and Wei Tu, an outsider, is indeed not suitable to stay here for a long time.

Disciples, after all, are not pro-children.

……

Get out of the living room.

Wei Tu took a few breaths of cold air from outside the house, and the cold that seeped from his nostrils into his chest made him sober up.

Shicai, when he said those words, he was also entangled in his heart, after all, at this moment, he sent people under the fence, and it was not good to say that he refused.

But in his heart, he really didn't want to be someone else's slave anymore - on the day of redemption, he thought of two paths, in addition to going to the martial arts test, there was also the way of swordsman.

The deed of identity stored in the Li family, he and Xinghua scraped together enough money and bought it back.

In the Shan family, he didn't want to sign an invisible deed and lock himself firmly here.

"There's still more than a month." Wei Tu glanced up at the snowflakes flying in the wind, and walked towards his wing.

Today's events are just a small episode, and he will not miss his future because of this.

Health Maintenance.

Tiger and Crane Double Fist.

He'll keep practicing.

……

More than ten days later.

Shan Fang found an excuse and left the Shan family with her son Shan Yiwu and her husband.

When he left, according to the previous agreement, he took a good horse from the stable of the single house.

A few more days passed.

Shan Yangong and Shan Min also left the Shan house, but unlike Shan Fang, when Shan Yangong left, he said hello to Wei Tu and asked Wei Tu to stay at his house when he went to Fucheng to participate in the government test, so he didn't have to be polite.

To this, Weitu agreed.

He doesn't want to see Shan Fang, but it's not that he doesn't want to see Shan Yangong, and if possible, he also wants to "rebuild the old friendship" with the Shan family.

He has never forgotten the kindness of Shan Wuju's teachings to him.

……

Time passes.

Finally.

In February of the twenty-fourth year of Qing'an, the martial arts in Qingshan County was approaching.

Wei Tu said goodbye to Shan Wuju and prepared to leave Shan's family to take the martial arts exam.

However.

Just as Wei Tu was carrying his luggage and just walking out of the courtyard of Shan's house, Shan Wuju rode out on horseback and stopped Wei Tu.

"In the martial arts exam, there is horse shooting, and there is no habitual horse, how can you get good results?"

Shan Wu dismounted and threw the reins of the green horse in his hand to Wei Tu.

"I know you don't want to be greedy for my single family's wealth, I'll lend you this green horse, and I'll pay it back when you finish the exam."

"But by then, you'll have a name for yourself, and you'll probably be able to buy the horse."

Shan Wuju smiled and said.

Listen to this.

Wei Tu hesitated for a moment, nodded, and clenched the reins in his hand with his right hand, which was considered to agree to Shan Wuju's proposal.

In the single family, he is not so out-of-the-box, and he will not deliberately refuse the daily necessities added by the maid.

Merely...... War horses are still too precious.

He redeemed his body for only eight taels of silver.

This green horse, in terms of value, is equivalent to more than a dozen strong servants like him who can do a skill.

He didn't dare to accept this expensive thing easily, but the martial arts exam was too critical, and if there was a lack of familiar horses, it would affect the competition, and it would not be good because of small losses.

"I know our master and apprentice, because of my daughter's words, I have a mustard." Shan Wuju walked up to Wei Tu and patted Wei Tu on the shoulder.

Then, he reprimanded: "But you and I are martial artists, how can you be so petty, how unhappy." ”

"When you come back from your success, the master will set up a banquet and set up wine, you and I master and apprentice, drink wine in a big bowl, eat meat in a big bowl, and go to the special women and children's meeting."

His words were rough and full of energy, and his voice was like a bell, which shook the eardrum of Weitu, who was standing in front of him, and he almost lost his deafness for a short time.

"It's Master......" After a pause, Wei Tu relieved himself, he glanced at Shan Wuju and replied with a smile.

More than half a year has passed.

Shan Wuju seems to be more than ten years older, and the gray hair on his sideburns has also increased a lot, although he is still strong, but it is much worse than when Wei Tu first met.

After finishing speaking, Wei Tu bowed deeply to Shan Wuju again, then turned over and rode the green horse that sat down and left the river where Shan Jiazhai was located.

I drove about seven or eight miles.

Wei Tu's riding speed slowly slowed down, and he sighed lightly, thinking back to what Shan Wuju had just said.

He is not a pure martial artist, practicing martial arts, and participating in martial arts are all his efforts to cross classes.

However, if after drinking with Shan Wuju, he can forget the previous events in his mind, and he is also willing.

"I don't know if the future children of Xinghua and Xinghua will be as ...... as Shan Fang"

"If that's the case, I'm afraid I'm helpless."

Wei Tu shook his head, pressed the distracting thoughts to the bottom of his heart, and then flicked his horsewhip and walked away.

……

Return to Aoki Prefecture.

Wei Tu planned to find an inn first, rent a room, and then put the green horse in the stable of the inn to raise, waiting for the martial arts exam to start a few days later.

Now.

He is no longer a horse of the Li family, and it is not suitable to go to the Li family to live again.

It's just that as soon as Weitu walked into an inn, he was shocked by the price of the store.

The price per room has doubled several times compared to the past.

Even the price of the firewood house is several times the price of the previous house.

Hear the shopkeeper's explanation.

Wei Tu then remembered that a few days ago, it was the Wenju County Examination, and many Confucian students in the townships of Aoki County went to the county seat to participate in the imperial examination.

At this time.

It was when it was hard to find a room in an inn.

"The county test is divided into three main exams and three secondary exams."

"Yesterday, the regimental case (list) was posted at the entrance of the county yamen, and in three days, it will be the deputy test of the county examination, and many candidates will be eliminated."

"The price will be cheaper then......"

"Would you like to rent it first?"

The shopkeeper continued.

Listen to this.

Wei Tu shook his head, walked out of the inn, turned around and led the horse towards the Li family, planning to temporarily borrow it for a few nights in the Li family with a shy face.

He already owes Li Yaozu a favor, and it will not matter if he owes a small favor at this time.
