"Black Wind, Black Wind......" Qin Ke and Abu shouted in unison, but they couldn't figure out what was going on, so they could only hold the reins of Black Wind blankly and pull hard.

But the frightened Black Wind completely ignored the shouts of the two, landed on all fours, and desperately retreated.

The railing of the stables could not withstand its strong body, and he slammed the straw rope that bound the railings, and immediately jumped up on the field in the middle of the stable.

Qin Ke and Abu couldn't control the strange power of this wild horse from the Northern Barbarians, so they could only grit their teeth to support it, Abra pulled the reins, stepped on the ground with his legs, and the horse took a step, and the whole person was like an old tree that had taken root.

And Qin Ke turned over and jumped, and the whole person got on horseback.

Hei Feng had already taken off the saddle, and his body was even more stained with a lot of water, Qin Ke could only clamp the horse's belly hard, and then reached out to stroke the horse's neck. He had the experience of being frightened last time, and he later learned a lot of ways to soothe the horses, and after repeated attempts, the black wind that had been churning finally calmed down in the stable.

Seeing that Hei Feng finally returned to normal, Abu finally breathed a sigh of relief, he reached out to support Qin Ke, who had just come off the horse, and said with a wry smile: "In the end, it is still a wild horse, and it is really difficult to figure out the temperament, and if you say that you are frightened, you will be frightened." The next time you tie the railing, you have to replace it with a chain. ”

Qin Ke panted, looked at Hei Feng and said with difficulty: "I'm more worried about my leg ......"

Abu was startled, and then remembered that Qin Ke was actually still a sick person, so he hurriedly released the reins and went to check Qin Ke's legs.

"Rest assured. Qin Ke looked at Abu's anxious appearance, smiled reluctantly, and said, "I just used some force, and now it hurts a little, but the imperial doctor also said that my bones have basically grown, and it's okay." ”

"I still have to find a doctor to see again, in case something goes wrong, then I have to interrupt the reconnection, which is even more troublesome. I used to see the sergeants in the army being re-grafted, and the pain was so painful that the three of them couldn't hold it down. Abu said worriedly.

Qin Ke knew that Abu was also concerned, and nodded, but where is the imperial doctor so easy to invite? Those gray-haired old immortals, every time they enter the Taixue Hall, they are arrogant, and even Huang Hansheng's face is not sold, if it weren't for the order from the palace, he, a person with no size and fame, would definitely not have this kind of treatment.

Before the next time the Tai Doctor comes to Taixue Hall for diagnosis, he still goes to find a Jianghu Langzhong to have a look, and the difference is not big anyway.

Qin Ke lowered his head slightly, and when he saw Xiao Hei looking up at him, he couldn't help but smile: "What's the matter?

Xiao Hei retracted his gaze, no matter how he looked at it, it looked like "it's my business", which made Qin Ke feel depressed for a while, and then, it glanced at Hei Feng, with a condescending expression, probably thinking about how this stupid big man was so intimidating, and jumped to the top of Hei Feng's body.

Black Wind trembled all over, but he didn't dare to move at all, so he could only lead Abu back to the stable, while Little Black got into the black mane on his horse's head and fell asleep comfortably.

And Qin Ke and Abu brushed the horse almost to the same extent, so they put down the brush, just at this time someone brought water in from outside the stable, Qin Ke thought it was a classmate of the Taixue Hall, and said with a smile: "Pour the outside tank, there is still water in the tank inside." ”

However, when he raised his head, he was suddenly stunned.

It's really his classmate, but this person isn't any of the faces that have appeared in the Taixue Hall recently.

Zhang Mingqi.

Qin Ke also got along with Zhang Mingqi in Wu County for some days, although it was not completely changed, but Zhang Mingqi's dedication to the victims really surprised him slightly.

How did this originally rich young master transform into a person who cares for the people?

Zhang Mingqi also looked at him, he knew very well in his heart that it was not that he cared for the people, but because he himself was one of the thousands of people.

Abu was cleaning the stable, when he heard a voice and walked out, and said with a smile: "Ah, Ke." You don't know yet. Zhang Mingqi will go back to the Taixue Hall today, but he still has a military position, and he has to go back to the military camp from time to time to report, and he happens to be there today, so I asked him to help wash the horse together. ”

Qin Ke nodded, Zhang Mingqi didn't speak, picked up two buckets of water, and poured them into the tank outside the stable. In the past, even though he was a cultivator and had the strength, he resolutely refused to do this kind of rough work.

In this stinky stable, he took a big brush and washed it one by one, and finally got sweat and water, this kind of work, where should he, the eldest young master, do? Anyway, as long as there is silver, there are many people who are willing to wash the horses for him.

I think he spent a lot of money in the Qinglou back then, but now, he can't even take out ten taels of silver, let alone change a better place for his father.

The middle of the family is weak, and the huge family property is all filled with the treasury, this incident completely destroyed his father, and now he is obviously fifty years old, but he is like an old man in his last years, coughing every day, Zhang Mingqi can't help but worry every time he hears it.

When it was done, he was at ease, but he felt a little overwhelmed. Today, the camp gave him a holiday, and the classes of the Taixue Hall have been completed, what should he do?

Go home?

But what he was most afraid of now was going home to the dilapidated house and seeing his eyes full of crampedness, as well as his father's coughing one after another.

Naturally, he could only be quietly alone in a daze, just killing time, he used to have a lot of fun to find: go to the opera garden to charter the field, go to the Qinglou to drink, play polo at the horse farm outside the city, or ask a few sons of the family to hunt in the woods together...... But now, those things are as far away from him as they were in his old life.

"Give. While he had finished pouring the water and sat on the haystack and stared into the distance, Abu came to his side, and a few pale yellow pastries were laid flat on his open hands, with a smell of flowers.

Zhang Mingqi felt a little familiar, and after careful confirmation, he was sure that the words on this pastry were exactly what he had often seen before.

"Hung Fu Chi's pastries. Abu smiled and said, "Please accompany me to brush the horse today, carrying water and sweeping the floor." I can only use this to express it, don't be too little......" Speaking of this, Abu was a little embarrassed, "I don't have much money, Hung Fu Kee's pastries are really too expensive......"

Hung Fu Ji, the pastries made there were one of Zhang Mingqi's favorite things to eat in the past, and naturally, he purchased a lot of them at home and used them to be used as refreshments everywhere. He occasionally brings a lot of people to the Taixue Hall to eat for the children of the scholar clan who have a good relationship with him, after all, some of the children of the scholar clan, although their status is prominent, their families may not be as rich as his family, and it is not easy to eat Hung Fu Ji's pastries often.

It's just that the children of the scholar clan who originally laughed with him are now keeping a distance from him because of what happened in his family, for fear that the fire in his family will burn them, and the people who were closest to him even secretly talked about him behind his back.

Listening to those foul words, if he hadn't recognized his identity a while ago, he was afraid that he would have rushed up and mingled with them.

And now, looking at the pastry in Abu's hand, the sadness in his heart became more and more intense, and he was still calm on the surface.

"Are you pitying me?" Zhang Mingqi raised his eyebrows indifferently.

Abu was stunned, he didn't expect Zhang Mingqi to say this, and hurriedly said: "Don't get me wrong......

"If you don't eat, I'll eat. Qin Ke walked over from the side, glared and said, "Who pities you, we just want to thank you, I heard that you like to eat this pastry, so we scraped together some money to buy it." That's it, we scraped together half a month's monthly money. ”

"Ke...... Don't say that. Abu frowned.

Qin Ke snorted, stretched out his hand and threw his own share into his mouth, feeling the aroma of the orchid wafting in his mouth, until he swallowed it, he opened his mouth with satisfaction and said: "But this is really delicious, sweet, fragrant and soft, melts in the mouth, and is better than meat buns...... Merely...... It's easy to get tired after eating too much...... It's not as good as meat buns......"

"If you eat too many meat buns, you will get tired. Abu said with a smile, "That is, you, have always had a soft spot for meat buns." ”

"Probably...... This is the destiny?" Qin Ke laughed, and sat on a tall haystack with both hands, his legs dangling casually.

Abu also sat down on the haystack, continued to pass the pastry, and said, "Let's eat some first." After doing so much work, you should be hungry, and there is still an hour before the start of the meal. ”

Zhang Mingqi looked at the pastry in Abu's hand, was silent for a long time, and finally stretched out his hand.

A mouthful of pastry entered his mouth, but a teardrop the size of a bean fell like this, hitting the mouth of the tiger holding the pastry, and shattered.

He chewed the sweetness in his mouth, but his heart was full of bitterness.

"Thank you. He said softly.
