It's okay to fall in love, but not to be

5.5

The two men spoke fiercely, as if they were arguing.

You Huan opened a door and looked where the sound came from, and found that it was a man and a woman, and the woman was holding a child in her arms.

You Huan couldn't hear what the two were saying, but he only saw that after a brief dispute, the man picked up the wooden block beside him and threw it at the woman's head.Flesh and blood splattered, and the baby's cry suddenly spread.

I don't know if he sensed You Huan's gaze, but the man suddenly looked this way, You Huan was startled, and quickly locked his head back, but because he moved too fast, he hit his head instead, making a loud noise.

You Huan didn't have time to rub his head, as far as he could see, there was only one under the bed where he could barely hide.Seeing the footsteps outside the door getting closer, You Huan got under the bed before he had time to think.

The dilapidated door was slammed open, and a pair of cloth shoes fell on the ground at the door. The flames were burning vigorously, and it was easy to know that there were people here just now.The post war has long been abandoned, and the valuables have already been removed. This bed may have been left because it was too dilapidated, but apart from this bed, there is no other place to hide in the room.

You Huan's heart was beating extremely fast, and he regretted why he chose this place.

That's when the owner of those shoes walked around the room and eventually came to the bed.

You Huan held his breath.

The owner of the cloth shoes walked very lightly, and stood by the bed for a long time, just when You Huan thought that the other party had no doubts about coming here.A face with scars suddenly appeared in front of You Huan.

You Huan gasped, his pupils constricted, and he was about to cry out.

At this time, a pair of hands covered You Huan's mouth and nose with a cold fragrance, and the cry in You Huan's throat was suppressed.

The strong man didn't seem to see You Huan, he glanced under the bed and got up to leave.

The hand next to You Huan's mouth also disappeared.

But You Huan can probably know that it was the fox fairy who saved him.

After a while, hearing that there was no more movement in his ears, You Huan crawled out from under the bed in embarrassment, watched the strong man outside the window leave, and finally heaved a sigh of relief, "I didn't expect to encounter a murder case."

He pulled out the hairpin from his hair again, stroked it lightly with his thumb a few times, and said softly, "Thank you, Great Immortal Fox."

Speaking of the murder case, You Huan ran out in a hurry again, but the murder scene just now had been cleaned up, and what You Huan saw before seemed to be just a dream.You Huan didn't dare to think too much, put out the fire, and left overnight.

Even though he didn't see the woman's body in the end, You Huan still felt uneasy. It just so happened that this inn was already under the jurisdiction of a neighboring county. "I'd better mention it to Uncle Guan tomorrow."

You Huan muttered softly, with surprise in his voice.

Wearing the stars and wearing the moon, You Huan didn't dare to stop, and finally came to Shanggu County.

And Guan Chenyuan is the prefect of Shanggu County. When he was young, he studied with You Huan's father and had a close friendship. Later, when he became prosperous, he still did not forget the old friendship.

You Huan came here before, and all the officials at the gate knew You Huan, but today is different, compared to half a year ago, You Huan looks... more suave.Not only the outfit, but also You Huan's gradually revealing temperament made him look completely different.

"It's You Xiucai, come to see our lord?" said one of the gatekeepers.

"Yes," You Huan cupped his hands, "Please let me know."

After being introduced into the back hall, You Huan finally saw Guan Chenyuan after waiting for a while.

Guan Chenyuan is in his 40s, with a thin beard and a slender figure. After seeing You Huan, he smiled kindly: "Nephew, why do you have time to see me?"

You Huan didn't talk nonsense, and handed over the five taels of silver he had saved, "Before, I was taken care of by Uncle Guan. Now that You Huan has his own way of making money, I want to return the money I borrowed from you."

Guan Chenyuan looked at the money in You Huan's hand, and sighed, "I knew it, I can't think of anything else you could come to me for besides this."

Guan Chenyuan sat on the chair, unable to say anything to You Huan, so he continued: "When I was young, your father took care of me a lot, but now you care about the little money I give you, don't you look down on me?"

With such a huge mountain pressed down, You Huan didn't know whether to stretch out the money in his hand or withdraw it, "But...that's the friendship between you and my father..."

"Okay," Guan Chenyuan waved his hand, "don't say anything else, it's settled. If you still feel sorry, then talk to your cousin. I heard that you are teaching recently. If you can make your I feel much more at ease when my cousin teaches you as sensible as you."

It happened that someone came to report that someone was beating drums to appeal for grievances, so Guan Chenyuan left.

And You Huan was taken by his servants to the study in the inner courtyard.

Guan Chenyuan is a clean and honest official. Although all the utensils in the house are complete, he doesn't look wealthy at all.

The boy led the way, "Young Master is studying in the study, and it happened to be difficult for him to read. It would be the best if Mr. You could teach him a lesson."

When You Huan came here last time, he also met this young master from a distance, but it was only a one-time encounter.The name seems to be... Guan Zhen?

Walking to the front of the study, a ten-year-old boy was sitting by the window, holding a brush in his hand, writing vigorously.When You Huan approached, he realized that he was copying books. He had copied about five or six books, and his hands were still copying.

Guan Zhen looked up at You Huan with a cold expression, "Who are you?"

The boy hurriedly whispered in Guan Zhen's ear, probably explaining You Huan's identity.

After listening to the boy's explanation, the expression on Guan Zhen's face became even colder, "You also came to ask my father for silver taels?"

You Huan glanced at Guan Zhen, and walked to the desk, "Do people often ask you for silver taels?"

Guan Zhen snorted, turned a page, and continued to write, "Don't think that I don't know what you people are thinking. Isn't it because my father is kind and values ​​talents? Otherwise, I wouldn't be so rampant."

You Huan smiled and did not explain. Instead, he had been a teacher for several months. Seeing Guan Zhen copying books, he couldn't help but ask him: "Why did you copy books?"

Guan Zhen lumped up the books he had copied and threw them out of the window, "It's none of your business!"

You Huan was not angry, looked at the boy's slightly trembling hands, and sighed, "Have you been copying for a long time?"

"It's all said! It's none of your business!"

You Huan finally understood, if he didn't make it clear, this kid probably wouldn't talk to him.So he took out the silver that Guan Chenyuan didn't ask for just now from his pocket, "Your father won't take it, you can take it."

Guan Zhen glanced at You Huan's hand, which obviously contained a lot of money, and stared at You Huan with dark eyes, "Are you here to pay back the money?"

"Well, but Uncle Guan refuses to take it."

"Don't be stupid!" Guan Zhen quickly took the silver in You Huan's hand and stuffed it into his sleeve, "I'm not that stupid."

At this time, a female voice came from the door, and a woman with a bowl came hurriedly: "Return the silver taels!"

Before Guan Zhen could do anything, the woman had already taken out the purse from Guan Zhen's arms, "We can't take this silver tael." Then she returned the silver tael to You Huan.

You Huan looked at the silver taels that had returned to his hand, and sighed slightly.

Guan Zhen was young, so he was naturally happy to see someone come to pay back the silver taels.But Mrs. Guan knew that according to Guan Chenyuan's personality, it was absolutely impossible to take back the money, so naturally she would not ask for it.

You Huan thought about it, and said again: "Madam, I don't know if you still remember You Huan?"

Mrs. Guan's memory of You Huan is still very deep. After all, there are not many people who can be admitted to the scholar at such a young age, "I remember, but Nephew You Xian, we really can't accept this silver tael. When the master sent these silver taels out, Absolutely no intention of repaying, just out of pity..."

"I know that too," You Huan smiled lightly, and his tone was gentle as if he wanted to speak his mind, "However, I didn't return these silver taels to Uncle Guan, they were used to make money for future talents."

Mrs. Guan heaved a sigh of relief, but her face was still full of doubts, "The future... trouble?"

"That's right," You Huan put the silver taels on the table, "Although I am young and have experienced few things, but Uncle Shiguan helped me, and I will never forget the kindness he bestowed on me. Now Wansheng has some ways to make a living. Means, Uncle Guan’s idea of ​​helping others is exactly what Wansheng thinks now, and I also hope to contribute a little to those talented people... It’s just that the money is very little, it can only be said to be my heart, and It's useless."

At the beginning, Guan Chenyuan didn't give him too much, and he also knew that most of the scholars were high-minded, and he didn't want to charge him too much.Now that he came to return the gold and silver, he naturally considered Guan Chenyuan's character and prepared a countermeasure.

Sure enough, after hearing what You Huan said, Mrs. Guan fell silent: If they had this silver, they would be able to have a little more money. In the past two years, many good-for-nothing people borrowed money with such an excuse, although the master knew Some of them are fake, but they are afraid that there will be real people in distress among them, so they are never stingy... Their life really deserves the words "clear breeze with two sleeves..."

You Huan smiled, took a pen and wrote on the paper the few words Guan Zhen just wrote, and finally said to him: "Just copying books is not enough, you have to write what you want to write in your heart .”

After finishing speaking, he left with a handsome back.

Guan Zhen looked at the flowing lines of words on the rice paper, turned his head quickly, and followed You Huan's back with his eyes.

The man was dressed in white, and when he was crossing the cobblestone road, the withered and yellow leaves behind him fluttered with the sudden strong wind.The wind also lifted You Huan's clean clothes, and his hair stood neatly on top of his head, fixed with a hosta.

The whole body of the jade hairpin is white, with a lifelike fox carved on the end.

Guan Zhen couldn't help staring, in this stupid sight, the fox with the hairpin tail seemed to be——

He turned his head and glanced at him.

With just one glance, Guan Zhen felt his body was icy cold and his back shivered.
