Under the pressure of high-intensity training and exam preparation, Erzhu returned to normal, and gradually stopped talking about it, and put away his worries first.

Spring and summer are the best days, there is no cold wind, no cold, the temperature is suitable, the cool breeze is refreshing, with the moist smell of lush vegetation.

Although the township test was in the autumn, but the calculation was actually in front of him, Lin Piao planned early, this time, the money on his body must be enough money, and those who can be exchanged for silver tickets are changed in advance, and the batches are exchanged and then saved at home.

The second aunt also began to prepare early, and then inquired whether there was a relationship that could be used, and finally found that it was basically impossible for ordinary people to rely on relationships, unless they were relatives of the emperor and the country, and only in the township test could there be a relationship that could be relied upon.

After thinking about it, the second aunt no longer worried about this matter: "Anyway, we are now in that sentence, we do our best to obey the fate of God, we have to worry about everything we can do, and the rest depends on the baby's own creation." ”

Lin Piao nodded, and the matter of Erzhu was also reported, but I don't know if the work efficiency of the above was too low, or because they didn't take this matter seriously and were unwilling to commend the merits of their subordinates, and they didn't hear the news for a long time, and the state capital was so far away from the county government, and it was not a place where they could manage it in a hurry, so they could only wait slowly.

Because the day of the township test was counting down day by day, Lin Piao also told the second aunt that there was no need to urge and supervise them anymore, and that this time was the time when the nerves were the most tense, and it was good to let them come at their own pace.

Therefore, this summer has become the most relaxing summer, no one in the family has asked about studies or martial arts training in the past few months, and the casual questions from time to time have disappeared as usual, and there is only a happy life when I return home.

It was almost the end of summer, and it was the hottest time, so they prepared to go to the state capital early, because they had no relatives, friends, or teachers to turn to in the state capital, and after they went, they had to figure everything out on their own, so they were ready to go there early to familiarize themselves with the situation there.

Lin Piao was worried about missing things, so he made a list early, wrote down everything he needed to bring on paper, and when he cleaned up, he just found them one by one on the paper and put them in and then ticked them off.

The people who went to the state capital after the trip was negotiated, Lin Piao and the second aunt, mainly around the two candidates, Shen Hong and Erzhu.

Ergou stayed in the county government to participate in the hospital examination, Da Zhuang and Uncle Qiu stayed to watch business, Xiaoyue and Juan'er to watch the shop, and Hu Ci stayed in the courtyard to cook and play, and they stuck to the rear position.

Almost at the hottest time, they set off against the scorching sun.

It was still early in the morning, and the sun pierced through the clouds like a sharp sword, shining on the dock in bundles.

Lin Piao thought that the merchant ship was larger than the ordinary passenger ship, and it should be more comfortable to sit up, and they were relatively familiar with them, as long as the ticket was changed, they could be ready to go.

But in the end, it was not a merchant ship, but a ship of the Wen family.

Having already made a plan, Lin Piao thought about it, and then thought of the relationship between Shen Hong and Han Xiu Wen Shuo, thinking that they might not necessarily need to plan the problem of travel tools, and there was a high probability that the Wen family would make certain representations to them.

Lin Piao thought about it for a while, and then thought about waiting, and sure enough, within two days, Wen Jieqing came to ask him about his trip to the state capital, and wanted to go with him.

Lin Piao thought that Shen Hong usually had a very good relationship with Wen Shuo, so he agreed, and then told Shen Hong about this matter, but Shen Hong had no opinion, only said that it was safe to have many people.

Wen Shuo and Wen Jieqing went to the deck first, no one came to see them off, the Wen Mansion was basically all on these two ships, Wen Shuo stood on the deck, looking at the scenery of this small county government, thinking of this, no matter how well he did in the exam, he would not come back, when he first came, he was full of disgust and resentment, but now he still has a feeling of nostalgia.

He was going back to Luodu, there were a lot of things at home, and his father wanted him to go back and take over, and his uncle and side branch looked more honest than the other because of the affairs of the former five princes, but in fact they were a little wild.

Thinking of this, Wen Shuo felt for the first time that he really had those heavy things on his shoulders, and when he looked forward, he saw Shen Hong and Lin Piao and their family, saying goodbye at the dock, and a wave of envy rose in his heart.

Although Shen Hong was born weaker, without the support of his family background, he was not influenced by power, his family was just a family, a real family, and they were affectionate and affectionate at the dock, and they were all concerned about each other.

Uncle Qiu said goodbye to them at the ferry: "You can rest assured, we will take care of the business here, and the money will come in every day, and if you need money outside, write a letter back, and we are ready here." ”

Uncle Qiu took out the posture of preparing for war in the rear, and Da Zhuang also nodded fiercely: "Little sister-in-law, you have a good journey, and you don't have to worry about things at home." ”

Lin Piao nodded, said goodbye to them in turn, hugged Juan'er Xiaoyuezhi, and then touched Hu Ci's head: "You are doing well at home, and we will write back as soon as we get to high school." ”

"Okay, we're waiting for the good news."

They talked for a long time at the small pier, and when the people on board were alerted, they finally said goodbye and walked towards the boat.

There is a large wooden plank between the shore and the deck, like a bridge, enough for four people to pass side by side, Lin Piao stepped on this wooden bridge, and found that the road was not as easy to walk as he imagined, and the boat was far and near when it rose and fell with the waves.

Lin Piao thought about walking quickly, but the plank shook and panicked and staggered.

A hand grabbed his forearm tightly and held his pace, and Lin Piao looked sideways.

Shen Hongzheng looked at him with lowered eyes: "Sister-in-law, little heart." ”

Lin Piao snorted, walked quickly across the wooden bridge with his support, and felt much more relieved when his feet landed on the deck, and when he looked back, he saw that the second aunt grabbed the second aunt, and also quickly dragged the second aunt onto the deck.

Stepping on the deck, the second aunt patted her heart: "It is not that we have never seen water in our village, and there is also a moat in the county government, but this is the first time we have seen such deep water and such a big boat, which is really alarming." ”

The second aunt said that she was flustered, but her eyes looked around, and she had a smile on her face, obviously feeling very happy.

They got on the boat and exchanged pleasantries with Wen Jieqing and the Wen family's housekeeper.

The housekeeper asked them to take them to find their respective rooms first, the four small rooms are close to each other, can take care of each other, Lin Piao entered the room, glanced at the bed, felt good, patted the bed, quite soft, the bedding is still silk, cool and slippery to the touch, very suitable for summer sleep.

I got up and walked outside, and when I opened the window, I saw the sparkling water outside, and the wind from the water poured into the window lattice, and the wind with water vapor was very cool, washing away some of the stuffiness that came with the cabin in summer.

Lin Piao lay on the bed for a while, although all aspects were very good, and the feeling of swaying on the water surface was also very light, but ignoring this feeling in consciousness did not mean that the body ignored it.

When it was time to eat at noon, he didn't eat anything, one was not good appetite, and the other was afraid that he would vomit if he ate too much, so Lin Piao ate a small half bowl of rice to fill his stomach, which was considered to have coaxed his stomach over.

The second aunt's appetite was okay, Wen Jieqing also ate very little, and even if he didn't get seasick, his appetite dropped a lot, and he couldn't eat it himself, so he asked the small kitchen to make something appetizing and relieve boredom and said that he would prepare it for Lin Piao.

Lin Piao naturally thanked him again and again for his kindness, but everyone's state was not good, especially when it was hot at noon, they didn't even want to eat hot dishes, so they could only eat some cold dishes.

After eating, when he returned to the house and lay down, Lin Piao didn't want to move at all, but the weather was so hot that Lin Piao couldn't even cover the thin quilt, and all of them were mattressed under him, his shoes and socks were kicked off, and the ties of his shirt were torn open and open.

Lin Piao lay for a while, and there were two knocks outside.

"Who?"

"Sister-in-law, it's me."

"Oh, come in."

Shen Hong pushed open the door and saw his sister-in-law lying on the bed, her coat open, revealing her snow-white and light undershirt.

Shen Hong was stunned for a moment and withdrew his gaze, but even if he lowered his eyes and his eyes did not stay on the bed, he would still see the feet that were half hanging on the ground.

Sister-in-law is really ...... Some of them were too guarded against him.

Shen Hong put the pastries brought in on the table: "Sister-in-law didn't eat much, let's eat some pastries." ”

"I can't eat it."

"Are you dizzy?"

"It's okay, but I don't have much appetite or energy, but it's not uncomfortable, mainly because it's hot now, so you can give the pastries to your aunt and Erzhu to eat, they can eat it."

"My aunt is also a little uncomfortable, and Erzhu is taking care of her."

Lin Piao stood up: "My aunt is also seasick?" ”

"A little, it's about noon that I'm too full, but I'm not feeling well."

Lin Piao nodded: "It's even more uncomfortable to eat too much and turn over the river and the sea in your stomach, let's rest, and it won't take long to lie down and arrive at the state capital." ”

"It's hard work, sister-in-law."

"What's the hard work, this time to go to the state capital, but it is the most lively and fun time, summer to autumn but if it is not cold, it is the best time to play outside."

"What does my sister-in-law want to play?"

"I don't know, I'll talk about it later." Lin Piao lay back on the futon.

Shen Hong nodded and retreated.

In the afternoon, Lin Piao went out of the house to eat some cold dishes, sat down with everyone, laughed and complained a few words about the weather, and then returned to the house to lie down on the body, thinking that the boat ride would be fun and fun, but now it is obvious that everyone has lost this mind, and only wants to wait for the boat to get off the boat, and live in a cool room and reunite.

Lin Piao lay in the room, opened the window and watched the sun outside slowly sink, feeling the temperature slowly dropping, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, thinking that although he couldn't eat well, he would be able to get a good night's sleep tonight.

As soon as the sun disappeared, the wind on the water surface blew from time to time, the heat dissipated quickly, and it was not too cool at night, Lin Piao's appetite was restored, and he went out of the house to forage for food, and met Wen Jieqing on the deck who was watching the scenery in the wind.

Wen Xie Qing looked at him with a smile: "I was about to invite you, thinking that it is cooler now and people are much better, come out to sit and talk, and eat something." ”

Lin Piao stepped forward and sat down and looked at Wen Jieqing: "Brother Wen is better?" It was so hot that I didn't know if it was seasickness or heat, I thought it was seasick during the day, but at night it was better again. ”

"Me too, thinking that I was tired from the exhaustion of the journey, but I got better at night, so it can be seen that it is all the fault of this ghostly nature."

The two laughed a few words, Wen Jieqing asked Shen Hong to invite Shen Hong, the second aunt and the second pillar, everyone gathered on the deck, looked at each other, and saw that everyone had recovered a lot, and their hearts were relieved.

As soon as the cool wind blew, the whole body was comfortable, everyone's expressions were relaxed, and Lin Piao sat at the small table and finally had a feeling of traveling.

The wind blew very comfortably, and the appetite that ran away during the day also came back at night, they ate, drank and chatted, Shen Hong and Wen Shuo talked about academic matters, Lin Piao and his second aunt Wen Jieqing talked about life matters, only Erzhu had no confidant, Wen Jieqing, as the host, did not snub him, so he praised and praised him a few words, and expressed his desire to see his kung fu.

So Erzhu played a set of tiger and tiger punches on the deck, which was unanimously appreciated by everyone, so that the guests and hosts were happy, ate and drank enough, and dispersed.

Lin Piao returned to the house, after a simple wash, he fell asleep, in the middle of the night, half asleep and half awake heard the noise outside, and did not know whether it was a dream or reality, Lin Piao did not struggle to open his eyes, struggled in the dream for a while, or suddenly someone patted him on the shoulder, he opened his eyes in a trance.

Lin Piao gathered his eyes and saw the person who appeared in front of the bed: "Shen Hong? ”

Lin Piao was a little dazed and rubbed his eyes: "Why don't you go to sleep?" ”

"Someone hijacked the ship, sister-in-law get up quickly."

Lin Piao was so frightened that he sat up: "What??! ”

Because he was sleeping in an unfamiliar place, Lin Piao finally wore a close-fitting undershirt, but the placket was loosened during sleep, and the overlapping neckline was loose, revealing a small piece of snow-white chest.

Shen Hong glanced at it and didn't say anything, and took his coat to put it on Lin Piao.

Lin Piao was still confused: "Is the situation outside okay now?" What about the aunt and Wen Jieqing? ”

"They are fine, Erzhu is guarding his aunt, he is waiting for us outside, Wen Jieqing and Wen Shuo left first in a small boat, we have to leave immediately."

Lin Piao really had a headache, and he really couldn't figure out how there could be so many bandits in this world, there were mountain bandits in the mountains, and there were water bandits in the water, or they didn't travel, or they would be robbed when they traveled, and the outside world was so chaotic?

The two of them walked out of the house quickly, the second pillar and the second aunt were waiting outside, as soon as they gathered, they ran out quickly, the boat was tied outside, the night was dark, and they couldn't see anything, but countless torches in the distance were in the dark, one by one, each torch corresponded to a person who was approaching, Lin Piao watched them approach, almost in all directions.

"Can we really run away in a small boat?"

Shen Hong comforted him and said: "They just look dense, they can't notice it in the dark, and when they get close, they won't be so tightly surrounded, not to mention that we have two pillars." ”

"To my sister-in-law! With me here, I will never let them get any close to you. ”

Erzhu said that he jumped into the boat first, and pulled the second aunt into the boat, the boat was thin and shook more than the big boat, the second aunt stepped on it in a hurry, and almost fell into the water, Erzhu grabbed her arm, let the aunt fall into the boat, and then reached out to pick up Lin Piao.

Shen Hong helped Lin Piao, and the force of grabbing his arm almost took half of his body's weight.

Lin Piao stretched out his other hand to Erzhu, Erzhu grabbed his forearm, and the two easily carried him over, Lin Piao landed safely, and quickly sat down in the boat to lower his center of gravity.

The ship was still a mess, those who packed up their things, those who were ready to meet the enemy, those who jumped ship and ran away, after all, the master's family had already left, and they had to find a way to survive themselves.

The man at the helm deliberately puffed up the sails and drove the ship in the opposite direction, giving them a chance to leave.

Lin Piao sat in the rickety boat, looking at the fire swaying in the dark night around him, and his heart swayed with the boat.

There were two oars on the boat, Shen Hong and Erzhu each sat in the bow and stern of the boat and rowed the oars, the two aunts were scared enough, for the first time in their lives, they encountered such a storm and waves, and they could not comfort each other, so they could only cling to each other in the dark to calm down the panicked mood.

Lin Piao didn't know how long they had been floating on the water, and there were no large number of boats chasing them, and on the way, they encountered two bandits who were chasing after them and wanted to rob them.

The oars smashed on the water and picked up cold droplets, and those water ideas splashed on the faces of Lin Piao and the second aunt, both of whom were excited.

Then there was no voice, and there were no bandits.

Lin Piao breathed rapidly, took out the handkerchief in his arms, wiped all the water marks on his face one by one, and then wiped his face for the second aunt, and then threw the handkerchief into the water.

Paddle to the moon in the middle of the sky.
