Chapter 53: The Frustrated Scholar

After receiving a message from Du Ruyue and knowing that she had arrived safely in Wanhua Valley, Li Fengyun packed up and left Shuangxia Town. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Only after walking out of Shuangxia Town for four or five miles, he suddenly heard the sound of "popping" slapping in front of him, Li Fengyun grabbed the reins of the horse, raised his eyes, and saw that on the wooden bridge of the mountain stream not far from the fork in the road, a woman in green slapped a weak scholar left and right.

ā€œ...... Four...... Fourth Miss, I haven't said anything yet, why are you hitting me?" said the scholar dodging and cowering.

"Just by what you want to say, you should fight!" The woman poked the scholar's chest and said loudly, "You poor scholar actually dare to beat Miss Ben's idea, it's just a toad who wants to eat swan meat, you can't even support yourself, you sell ten paintings is not enough for me to buy a box of rouge gouache, you say, why do you admire me?"

"Uh," the scholar said, bowing his head, "I...... Although I am poor, I am talented and have great ambitions to be above Yao Shun, and I believe that sooner or later I will get ahead and shine on the lintel......"

"Slap", the woman slapped the scholar again, and said mockingly: "I know your ambition, that is, I want to be the son-in-law of my Zhang family, and my husband will not worry about eating and drinking from now on;

What are you, and what am I? You can't climb up to me at all, you don't even have the qualifications to admire me, let alone get close to me, even you think in your heart that I am guilty, and you dare to say that you like me, this is simply insulting me, since you have read books, you should know what is called blasphemy. Do you dare to say to Guanyin Bodhisattva in the temple that you like her?"

The woman kept poking the scholar's chest, forcing the scholar to retreat again and again, and the scholar argued: "In that case, why did you smile at me on the day of Qixi Festival?"

"I didn't!" the woman said categorically.

"You have ......," the scholar said urgently.

"Even if there is, it will be a mockery and a sneer at you!" the woman interrupted the scholar's words and said, "I tell you, you must not let others know that you have a bad opinion of me, others laugh at you for being small, and it is a big matter to lower my level, if this matter is known by others, Miss Ben will definitely not spare you!

The scholar raised his eyes and peeked at the woman's back, his eyes full of despair and shame.

"There are still such fierce women in the world!" Li Fengyun said secretly, "Compared to her, the little girl is simply a kind little white rabbit." Just as he was thinking, he suddenly saw the woman turn around again and walk towards the scholar.

The scholar was startled, covered his head with his hands, and said, "I don't know...... What else does Miss Fourth have to advise?"

The woman hugged her sleeves, stretched out her hand suddenly, and pushed the scholar, the scholar screamed, did not pay attention, and went down the bridge, the woman shouted loudly under the bridge: "This proves that I am not wrong about you, you don't know how to fight back when you beat you, you don't know how to dodge when you push you, you don't know how to dodge it, and you can't succeed in writing, and you can't succeed in martial arts, it's just a waste, hum!"

Li Fengyun snorted coldly, and said in his heart: "It turns out that women think like this, and that's right, what is the identity of that little girl, what is my identity, one is in the sky and the other is on the ground, how can she like me? Fortunately, Lao Tzu is smart, unlike that stupid boy, so she didn't suffer this loss!"

The horse walked to the side of the mountain stream, the mountain stream was fortunately not deep, and it was only more than one person high from the wooden bridge, and there was water flowing in the mountain stream, and the scholar did not fall into anything, but the stream water in the middle of winter, how cold, the scholar had frozen his face blue, struggled to crawl out of the stream, he was already soaked, the cold wind blew, and he was trembling all over, only walked a few steps, and he could no longer support it, "bang", fell to the ground, knocked his head, blood flowed, and fainted.

"Useless stupid scholar!" Li Fengyun turned his horse's head, and was about to leave, feeling faintly uneasy in his heart, this place is rarely visited, even if someone passes by, he may not notice the stupid scholar under the bridge, the wind is cold in the mountains, if he ignores it, this stupid scholar will definitely freeze to death here.

"Damn, it's bad luck for Lao Tzu!, do a good thing with a clear conscience!" Li Fengyun muttered, jumped off the horse, jumped down the mountain stream, carried the scholar up the mountain stream, hastily wrapped his wounds, put him on a horse, and wanted to return to the town again. I also thought that this scholar was weak and might not be able to support the town in the cold wind, and if he died like this, it would be a trouble to be seen by someone who saw the scholar's body. It's better to simply find a sheltered place and build a fire, if you can save this scholar, you can save it, and if you can't save it, you can only blame this scholar's life for not being good, and throw this scholar's body into the mountain, so as not to provoke right and wrong.

Thinking of this, Li Fengyun simply led the horse and continued to walk forward, walked for more than half a mile, and finally found a cave, Li Fengyun was overjoyed, unloaded the scholar, and probed that it seemed that there was still breath, but his forehead was frighteningly hot.

Li Fengyun hurriedly found hay and firewood, made a large pile of fire, stripped the scholar's wet clothes clean, patted his muscles and bones, put them on the hay laid by the fire to roast the fire, found some herbs, pounded them into a paste, fed them with strong wine, fed some torn and mashed meatloaf, and said in a low voice: "Poor scholar, that's all Lao Tzu can do, whether you can live or not depends on your own creation, who told you to provoke that fierce woman!"

It is said that the scholar's life is really big, and he woke up for two days at dusk, and finally struggled back from Lord Yama and woke up.

The scholar's name is Wang Xianqi, the same age as Li Fengyun, only eighteen years old, the ancestral home of Liaoxi, moved to Luoyang, Shi Jingjiao led the Khitan soldiers to destroy the Tang Dynasty, fled here with his father, because this is remote, the war is difficult to reach, so he settled here, the father and son made a living by writing and selling paintings, a few years ago his father died of illness, he left only one person, and life was even poorer.

Later, Wang Xianqi didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong, and he actually had a crush on the fourth lady of the Zhang family, a big family in Shuangxia Town, and he should have been killed, but fortunately he met Li Fengyun and saved his life.

Li Fengyun asked him what his plans were in the future, Wang Xianqi sighed: "I don't want to stay in Shuangxia Town any longer, Brother Li is right, in this troubled world, what's the use of learning literature? It's better to be reliable with the knife in my hand, I plan to go out and break in, I heard that the Khitans are going to attack the Central Plains again, maybe this is an opportunity." ā€

Li Fengyun smiled: "You nerd, you can choke enough to catch a chicken, and you dare to kill people with a knife?"

Wang Xianqi bit his finger and swore to the sky: "Death will be death, some are heavier than Mount Tai, some are lighter than the feathers, I Wang Xianqi swear to the sky, I will never be humiliated again, if I can't get out of this life in this life, I would like to die under ten thousand blades." ā€

Li Fengyun laughed, patted Wang Xianqi on the shoulder, and said: "Okay, Lao Tzu didn't save the wrong person, but you are a weak scholar, and you go to the Central Plains alone, it is indeed a bit dangerous, Lao Tzu is simply a good person to the end, there is just a token here, you take it first, take it out when you encounter danger, it should be useful!"

After that, he took out the "Tiger Ben Order" given to him by Zhou Zongyun from his arms and handed it to Wang Xianqi, and gave him some silver taels as a coil, the two said goodbye, Li Fengyun jumped on horseback and continued to hurry, while Wang Xianqi temporarily stayed in Shuangxia Town to recuperate.

Li Fengyun didn't expect that after Wang Xianqi recovered from his injuries, he was in distress on the way to the Central Plains, and sure enough, with the "Tiger Ben Order", he turned the danger into a disaster, which attracted the attention of Tiance Mansion, and was appreciated by Tiance Mansion, leading to a story, which is a later story, and will not be mentioned here.
