Since I met you, people are dying every day

Ye Sirui sounded like those guys were talking and mentioned himself, he didn't want to listen carefully, so he cleaned his hands and went back to the room, but saw that the room was in a mess, everyone left the table and talked in twos and threes.

At a glance, he saw that He Ying was listening to the training with his head bowed, and Wu Shanchang was standing in front of him with a stick on the ground, talking endlessly, and he was a little curious, so he moved closer to listen. "Evil, evil, you usually throw away the scriptures and learn some riding and archery, the old man can't say anything about you, but today you are so disrespectful in front of adults, how decent is it!"

Ye Sirui knew that he was talking about He Ying's invitation to him to practice riding and archery at home, only to hear Wu Shanchang being angry and sighing repeatedly, "It's all right if you don't want to study, and where are the scholars here if you slander the scriptures? The reporter said, the county magistrate is only modest, who can you show off your three-legged cat skills to?"

He Ying quickly raised her head and said, "Master Shan, calm down, the student made a mistake, and I will apologize to the adults later."

He saw He Ying obediently listening to the training, but he didn't take it seriously. He was afraid that Wu Shanzhang would be more angry, so he stepped forward to defuse the embarrassment, "May I ask who Lu Hengli is? I just heard a few students mention that he."

It was fine if he didn't say it, but when he said it, Wu Shanzhang sighed even more, "That's the one." He pointed to a young man sitting at the table.Of the four Juren who came together, one of them was chatting with others, and the other two were probably going to the toilet. Only Na Lu Hengli sat alone at the table, pouring himself a drink, very happy.He lowered his head to pour the wine, his facial features could not be seen clearly due to the dim light and candle, but his expression was calm.He Ying added: "He is a well-known child prodigy in our county." Since the case of Zhou Hui, Ye Sirui didn't like the word prodigy, and he heard that he pronounced his words very heavily, which was obviously mocking, so he didn't want to ask more questions. .On the contrary, Wu Shan yelled at him: "You can say less!" Then he asked Ye Sirui sadly: "My lord, those incompetent people are slandering him again?"

Before Ye Sirui had time to explain, the two Juren who went to the toilet together had already returned together.As soon as Wu Shanchang saw them, he raised his voice and shouted: "Song Dingyu, Dai Liufang, you two come here!"

Those two people came to greet Ye Sirui and Wu Shanchang.Dai Liufang was short and fat, while Song Dingyu was thin and tall.

Wu Shanchang said: "You two, are you laughing at Lu Hengli secretly again?"

Dai Liufang was sweating profusely when he became anxious, "Students dare not." Song Dingyu also bent down: "Students only talk about brother Hengli's good writing, and dare not be that villain who talks behind his back."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Sirui heard He Ying humming softly.

Wu Shanchang didn't ask anymore: "No is the best. I know you have misunderstood, but I asked you to bring him to Beijing because he is experienced and skilled in writing, which is very helpful for you to take the exam. You are classmates, blind date with pen and inkstone, Laughter in the morning and evening is the rarest kind of affection, slander and ridicule is not what a gentleman does." After speaking, he called Lu Hengli and another Juren over, and asked the four of them to drink together.Dai Liufang showed dissatisfaction, Song Dingyu was also a little stiff, but Lu Hengli lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, drinking freely, without any resentment.

After everyone dispersed, Ye Sirui asked the boy to cook the hangover soup and bring it up. He looked around to see He Ying beside him, and asked him, "Why do those two people look down on Lu Hengli?"

He Ying took a glass of wine and smiled like a young man, but with mature disdain. "Lv Hengli passed the examination at the age of 15. He is a well-known child prodigy in Helin County. Unexpectedly, he got unlucky later on. He has passed the examination three times and failed all of them. What's more, his father died young, his family was poor, and his mother died this year. died."

Ye Sirui understood everything, but he was not interested in the story. It is true that a 15-year-old Zhongju is a child prodigy, and it is not uncommon to fail a Jinshi at the age of 27.It's just a pity that he will be delayed for another three years to worry about his mother. "Why do you laugh at Song Dingyu?"

He Ying was even more disdainful, "Although I look down on Lu Hengli, I also look down on the treacherous villain. Song Dingyu grew up with He Ying. He used to be his best friend. Later, when he saw that Dai Liufang's family was rich, he clung to him. Laughing at old friends. Such a hypocrite, I, a big bastard, also despise."

The servants finally brought up the hangover soup, and Ye Sirui ordered them to serve a bowl to all the guests.

After such a toss, when the banquet was over, it was already time for people to decide.Ye Sirui ordered the servants of Jinyun Building to help Wu Shanzhang and his students to a nearby dormitory, he and Ye Fu said goodbye to these people one by one, and finally returned home in a sedan chair.

Ye Sirui felt that he was very conscious, but his head was a little dizzy.In the early summer night, he could no longer feel the cool air. Sitting on the sedan chair and poking his head out, he could only feel the warm wind.

After getting out of the sedan chair, everyone went back to the house. Ye Sirui didn't want the little boy to see him off with a lamp, but went back to the house in the dark. Just as he lit the lamp, he saw a figure suddenly appearing in Hei Qu Qu, which scared him back a few steps.

"Don't panic, it's me." Xia Shu's deep voice came.

Ye Sirui sweated, and unconsciously walked over, "Has Brother Tian Shu been waiting for me?"

"No, I just slept for a while, and I woke up as soon as you entered the room." Xia Shu came over and helped him to the side of the couch. "Let's talk about it tomorrow, I'm dizzy right now..." Ye Sirui said as he took off the cloud crown and undressed, but he couldn't use his hands and his fingers kept slipping.

"I asked the boy to come in and serve you." He only heard this sentence in his last consciousness.He wanted to say no, but couldn't open his mouth anymore.

Ye Sirui struggled to open his eyes, but his eyes felt dry and his head hurt like countless needles.It was getting better outside, he groped to sit up and shouted, "Come here!"

"Are you awake?" As soon as he sat up, he was caught off guard by a pair of eyes as deep as a cold pool.Ye Sirui shuddered again, and after he realized it, he mumbled and complained: "Brother Tian Shu, why did you become so scary..."

Xia Shu folded his arms and looked at him, the servant came in to help him put on his normal clothes, and fetched water to clean his face.

Ye Sirui wiped it with a wet kerchief, and only then did his eyes feel better, and the hot and swollen feeling on his face subsided a lot, but his head still hurts badly.He shook his head slightly, tried his best to control his expression, told the boy to retreat, and asked Ye Sirui: "How was the trip to Yixiangyuan yesterday?"

"No hurry." Xia Shu said, "Do you have a headache?"

"Well, I really can't hide it from you." Ye Sirui took off his strength and tapped his temple with his hand. "Drinking hurts your health."

"You drank too much." Xia Shu said, "Come here."

"Why?" Ye Sirui asked. "Hurry up and say, I'm still going to the morning hall."

Xia Shu looked down at him and remained silent for a while.Ye Sirui was filled with fear and wonder, and when he couldn't hold it any longer, Xia Shucai said: "You still want to go to the morning class, and you don't want to see what time it is."

Seeing the bright sky outside, Ye Sirui knew it was getting late, so he quickly asked him, "What time is it?"

"Anyway, the promotion to the morning hall is already over." Xia Shu watched him wandering around the room, regretful and annoyed at the same time, and he was about to rush out the door, and finally said: "I said you drank too much, Early in the morning, the county magistrate sent someone over to inform you to rest and take a bath today, so that you can rest well."

Ye Sirui heaved a sigh of relief, and sat on the armchair. Just as he let go of his breath, he felt a headache again, and cried out with an ouch.

Xia Shu took off his black gauze hat, supported the back of his head with one hand, and pressed the base of his eyebrows with his thumb and index finger, and rubbed them vigorously for a while.The annoying headache disappeared immediately. "What acupuncture point is this, why is it so powerful?"

Xia Shu didn't answer him, and rubbed his thumb up and down between his brows for a while, then pressed the place just above the brow bone, then the middle of the hairline, and finally tapped the center of the top of his head with his knuckles.

After a lot of tossing and tossing, Ye Sirui felt much refreshed. Ye Sirui sighed comfortably, "Brother Tianshu, you are amazing." Xia Shu grabbed his hand again and rubbed the tiger's mouth. "Drinking alcohol has to be sipped to have a good taste. It is a fool's ability to drink too much to hurt the body."

Ye Sirui, who was scolded as a fool, rubbed his nose, "You waited for me to come back yesterday, and you came to taunt me again this morning, what did you see yesterday, tell me quickly."

Xia Shu ordered his servants to bring a basin of boiling hot water, Ye Sirui saw that his face remained unchanged, dipped a handkerchief into the hot water, gasped, "What are you doing?" Xia Shu wrung the dry handkerchief and folded it into a block, With a little force, he covered Ye Sirui's eyes, "Hey! What are you doing!" The hot burning sensation flashed past, and the subsequent warmth and humidity drove away the lingering dry pain after getting up.

When the handkerchief was cold, Xia Shu threw it back into the water.He took out another piece of rice paper and handed it to him, "Can you compare?"

Ye Sirui touched his eye sockets, and for a while still missed that warmth.He took the piece of paper, unfolded it and saw a detailed footprint, his first reaction was to scold him: "Since you draw so well, what do you mean by asking me to draw that day?"

Xia Shu said: "I really can't compare with you in terms of painting. My picture is a rubbing."

Ye Sirui stared at the picture with wide eyes, and asked in disbelief: "How do you rub the footprints on the ground?"

Xia Shu saw that he didn't understand that he wouldn't do the comparison, so he had to explain: "Do you know the white tiger? It is a blind medicine in traditional Chinese medicine, also called plaster, which has the effect of clearing away heat and purging fire, eliminating troubles and quenching thirst; Calcination has the effects of astringing sores, promoting muscle growth, dampening, and stopping bleeding. Gypsum is ground into fine powder, mixed with water, it will heat up into a paste, pour it into the footprints, dry it and shape it, and apply ink on the surface of the mold to make rubbings .”

"You can think of such a method." Ye Sirui was amazed, unfolded another piece of paper, and compared the two. Although there were occasional omissions in the footprints he traced, it could still be seen that the same pair of shoes left behind. of. "Now it's clear. It's God's blessing, but it hasn't rained in the past few days." Ye Sirui said, "The owner of these shoes should be the murderer."
