From Hegu County to the south of Fushui County, official documents were usually conveyed by officials on fast horses, sometimes one person traveling alone, sometimes two people on two horses, escorting relatively important official letters.

At this time, the two government officials went to Fushui County along the official road, the mountains on both sides of the road were slightly yellow, and the farmers who harvested the crops bowed down to the fields, occasionally straightened up and scolded the children playing in the fields, and watched the two officials in military uniforms riding horses and running past.

Such a scene can also be seen often, most of them don't care, they have to bend down and continue to cut the grain, far away, at the end of the road, the smoke and dust are rolling and galloping.

I couldn't help but take off the hat on my head and look: "What is it?"

At this time, above the galloping horses on the official road, two officials were carrying official letters and were whipping.

"Drive!"

"He also said that he could reach Fushui County in the afternoon, and at this speed, it is estimated that he will go at night. ”

"Brother, we're okay, these two horses, but they are the fastest in the government, change to a donkey, you try?!"

Another laughed: "That's right, if it's a donkey in the countryside, I'm afraid it's going to be dawn." ”

Pedal Pedal .....

In the midst of laughter, there was a sudden sound of hooves flying from behind, and the laughing duke subconsciously turned his face sideways, and his eyes glanced behind him.

A cloud of smoke swept straight after them.

"What the hell...... Oops..... catching up!!"

The two of them turned their heads almost at the same time, and an old bald donkey spread its hooves and ran happily with their eyes, and two bookshelves creaked on the donkey's back.

The public who leaned against the edge of the field widened his eyes.

"You must not believe it, a donkey overtook the two of us....."

The other man stopped his horse suddenly, his face pale and panting, and in the blink of an eye, smoke and dust filled his vision, coughed a few times, and turned his head to look at his companion who had slowed down and stopped.

“....... I saw ..... that there were still two people on the donkey..... and there were still two people on it. ”

Then, the two of them lowered their heads in unison and subconsciously looked at the horses that were seated.

The smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and when the two looked again, they didn't even see a donkey hair on the road ahead, and along the official road, on the back of the galloping old donkey, Lu Liangsheng was in a happy mood, and the stretching Qixia Mountain and fields were passing backwards.

The Taoist who was sitting in the back, covering his temples, took out a yellow charm with his other hand from time to time and pasted it on the donkey's buttocks, replaced the mana exhausted and threw it behind, shouting in the wind:

"Next time, let's change horses, two big men squeezing on it will be misunderstood!!"

Lu Liangsheng turned his face sideways and laughed: "When I went out, I forgot, but the old donkey is not bad, he has feelings!"

The Taoist has no luggage, Lu Liangsheng's clothes are also placed in the bookshelf, the toad master does not occupy an area, an old donkey is enough to accommodate it, plus there is a shrinking inch and the Taoist magic technique, the speed of the old donkey is not slow, so naturally he can't spend money to buy another horse.

All the way forward like a gallop, over the mountain temple where the original rest, a route straight down, is Fushui County, a day or two of the journey of others, the two of them almost half a day to finish.

Seeing the outline of the city wall from afar, the blessing of the spell was removed, and the old donkey neighed and waved his mane, still struggling with his hooves, but he was carrying scholars and Taoists, and slowly approached the city gate.

For a moment, it blinked wide-eyed and couldn't understand why it slowed down.

The two got off the old donkey, Lu Liangsheng took the reins and walked through the familiar street with the Taoist, and at this time the yamen had reached the time of recess, so he went directly to the small courtyard where the teacher was.

Lu Liangsheng knocked on the door a few times, but no one responded, and after a while, he learned from a neighbor passing by that Wang Shuhua was transferred with the county commander Min Changwen.

At the beginning of the period, I thought it was a joke of the other party, but I came to the yamen to inquire, only to learn that Min Changwen was transferred back to Beijing to reinstate his position, and his uncle Hua Gong went with him as a staff member.

Before leaving, he also left a letter in the county office, waiting for Lu Liangsheng to come back.

On the way out of the city, the scholar opened the letter, and the handwriting on it was vigorous and powerful.

"Good Birth Enlightenment:

For the teacher first wish Liangsheng Township to win the championship in one fell swoop, but unfortunately I can't congratulate you in person, leaving a letter is a farewell, when you rush to take the exam, the county has received an order from the capital, for the teacher and he has been in trouble for many years, I don't want to see him return to Beijing to face the stormy waves alone.

Now you are also successful in your studies, for the teacher can teach is not much, how to go forward, you still need to consider yourself, for the teacher to believe, the township test is not difficult for you, so in Beijing to prepare a wind and dust banquet, in order to look forward to a good life, teachers and students how happy to gather. ”

Teacher......

Whether it is Master Toad or Wang Shuhua who teaches academics, they are all nobles on Lu Liangsheng's two different paths.

"What did it say?" Seeing his melancholy expression, the Taoist couldn't help but poke his head out with some curiosity.

Then Lu Liangsheng stretched out his hand and pressed it on his face and pushed it away.

"My mentor went to the capital with the county honorable Min Changwen and invited me to come over and get together. ”

"It seems that you have a lot of business, so hurry back and run all the way, Bendao is hungry and panicked. ”

During the conversation, the two of them and a donkey walked slowly along the road to Lujia Village, the sky was slanting in the west, and the dusk shone over the mountains to reflect the fields in the distance, and at this time, there were many farmers who were busy harvesting crops.

Someone saw two people and a donkey walking on the side of the road, rubbed their eyes, opened their loud voices, and shouted excitedly:

"Don't be busy, look, who's back?!"

The sound echoed in the field, and the busy villagers straightened up, and then, throwing away the wheat stalks and farm tools in their hands, they rushed to the side of the road.

"Good life—"

"Liangsheng is back!!"

"...... everybody, come here. ”

The people who ran on the road would be in the dark, and the scholars would excitedly ask how life was going in the big city, whether they were bullied, and so on.

"It's okay over there, there is a place to live, don't worry, you guys are busy first, and when you're done, go back to the village and talk together." ”

It was impossible for Lu Liangsheng to respond one by one, so he arched his hands and said in unison, and some people saw the Taoist, patted him on the shoulder and greeted him warmly.

When they arrived at the entrance of the village, Lu Pan, Lu Qing and other eight people also ran out, the bones of the eight people were stronger than more than two months ago, the improved food, coupled with the diligent practice of the body forging method taught to them by Lu Liangsheng, even the relatively thin Lu Qing's chest muscles became thick, and he beat twice from time to time.

"Get out of the way, let Liangsheng go back to see his parents first!"

Lu Pan squeezed the people away, and Lu Taigong, who was following them, paused on the ground on crutches, and when he heard the words of the elders, the people gathered at the entrance of the village made a way.

Walking past everyone, Lu Liangsheng let go of the reins, and went over to help Lu Taigong to return to the village together, far and near, and the children who had come from school came over, first stunned for a moment, and then bowed together.

"Sir!"

"Don't salute, hurry home and eat. ”

These children, big and small, Lu Liangsheng is very familiar with, they are all taught by him, there is a middle-aged scholar standing at the door of the school over there, his wide-sleeved robe has been patched a few times, and when he saw Lu Liangsheng looking over, he arched his hand quite politely, which was regarded as a greeting.

Farewell to a group of villagers, back to the fence courtyard, the season of morning glory has passed, the fence courtyard wall is a bleak yellow.

At the gate of the courtyard, Li Jinhua, Lu Laoshi, and Lu Xiaoxian, who was already fourteen years old, were waiting there early.

"Brother!"

Lu Xiaoxian pounced directly and hugged her brother who had returned home, Lu Liangsheng touched her head and said with a smile: "You are a big girl, and you are still so anxious." ”

"I don't care, you're my brother. ”

The little girl snorted in her brother's arms, and when she let go, the Taoist hurriedly ran up and stretched out her arms.

"And me, and me?!"

Lu Xiaoxian glanced at him, raised his hand, spun on his toes, turned around and walked back: "I don't hug others!"

"Hey, it's boring, I'm half a brother anyway!"

Sun Yingxian shouted in the back, and the top of his head was suddenly knocked by something.

Turning around, the scholar had already lowered his hand and walked past him.

"Be careful, that's my sister. ”

At the gate of the courtyard, the family laughed a few words, and returned to the courtyard together, Lu Liangsheng pushed away the room that he hadn't lived in for two months, it was still spotless, hung up the portrait of Honglian, and fell on the bed.

He turned his head to look around and took a deep breath.

That's a familiar taste.

Soon, the sun set, the small stove was crowded, Nie Honglian floated in the air to help add rice and hand over the bowl, Li Jinhua was busy cooking the last dish, and called the Taoist who burned the fire at the stove opposite to throw some firewood again.

Sun Yingxian took out a yellow talisman and threw it in, pinched his fingers, and the flames rushed out and licked to the edge of the pot, causing Li Jinhua to chase him with a shovel.

The toad man was coiled under the oil lamp, and the old hen with flowers under the table glared at him.

Under the eaves, Lu Laoshi weaved the basket to be used in the village, and looked at the other side of the eaves with a smile, Lu Xiaoxian tilted his head with a brush, looked at the portrait he drew on the shelf, and tore it off and kneaded it into a ball in distress.

Lu Liangsheng looked at the scene in the courtyard.

"It's still comfortable at home. ”
