When they woke up the next day, the two of them didn't mention what happened last night, they got up and took a shower, then went out together.

The village has changed a lot in the past three years. There are fewer people and it has become quieter.The two of them walked for a long time, and only met two or three children who had just learned to speak. They looked at the two strangers, gathered together and whispered together, and hurried back home. For fear of being abducted.

Seeing this, Mo Yanchi yelled viciously: "Run faster and I'll take you all away."

When those children heard the words, they screamed in fright, and their short legs ran even faster.

"Hahahahahaha, look at them." Mo Yanchi laughed heartily, Xiao Zhi shook his head helplessly, and after hearing curses in the distance, he hurriedly dragged him away to avoid being chased and beaten by the children's elders.

Mo Yanchi laughed so hard that tears were about to come out, if it wasn't for Xiao Zhijin's pulling, he might not even be able to walk.

Wangxiang Terrace is very small, and after running for a while, it came to an end. No one has set foot here for many years, and weeds have long been overgrown. A few steps further, there is a dense forest. If you are not sharp-eyed, very few people will find a weed. It is lower than other places, as if it has been stepped on by something.

Xiao Zhijin pointed and said, "Is this a ferocious beast passing by?"

"No, you come with me." Mo Yanchi walked forward, stretched out his hands to push aside the weeds blocking the front, without stopping, walked straight forward, obviously familiar with the road.

The weeds that used to reach ankles had never been trampled on for three years, and they had grown to waist length. Mo Yichi could only push them away as he walked, walking slowly by memory.

This forest was usually untouched, and it became more and more silent the further you went in, Mo Yichi subconsciously slowed down his pace, and listened attentively, as if he heard the sound of gurgling water.

He turned back and said, "It's almost there."

Xiao Zhijin also heard that agile voice, and knew in his heart that there was a pool of clear spring hidden in the deep forest.

This place was discovered by Mo Yanchi when he was mischievously running around when he was young. In summer, he would abandon his playmates and come here to swim by himself.

Mo Yanchi came out through the forest, seeing the rippling water waves, the fish floating on the water surface heard the movement, got scared and dived into the bottom of the spring, wagging their tails vigilantly.

"I didn't expect that there are so many fish here after three years of absence." Mo Yanchi was a little surprised. Although this is a living spring, he has been here several times before, but he has never seen any fish.

Xiao Zhijin looked around and said, "I didn't expect there to be such a place here. You came here when I couldn't find you before?"

"Yes, this is my secret." Mo Yanchi walked to the shore, took off his boots and wanted to get into the water.

Xiao Zhi hurriedly grabbed him, "What are you doing?"

"Catch the fish, let's grill it later." Mo Yanchi stared straight at the fat fish hiding at the bottom, seeing Xiao Zhijin grabbing his hand, he simply stretched out his hand and brought him into the water .

Xiao Zhi, who didn't have time to take off his shoes, stepped on the water. He lowered his head and glanced, "You..."

Mo Yanchi smiled and said, "Mistake, mistake."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand. Xiao Zhijin thought that Mo Yanchi was trying to pull him, so he was defenseless. Unexpectedly, Mo Yanchi not only didn't pull him, but pushed him hard. The feet become the whole body.

Xiao Zhijin was completely wet, and the culprit had already put on his shoes when he got up, and was about to run away.

"Stop!" Xiao Zhi had quick eyesight and quick hands, picked up a stone and threw it at Mo Yanchi, but Mo Yanchi couldn't dodge, was hit in the calf, shaking with pain.

He turned around and glared at Xiao Zhijin, gritted his teeth and said, "Lord Xiao is so ruthless."

"Of course it's not as ruthless as His Royal Highness the Prince." Xiao Zhijin ran towards Mo Yanchi, smiling horribly.

Mo Yanchi didn't see him like this, he even forgot to run, and panicked, "What are you doing?"

Xiao Zhijin bent down, threw him on his shoulders, and said, "Reciprocity is the norm."

"No...do my brother...ah!"

Xiao Zhijin carried the man on his back, jumped into the water without hesitation, and even swam in for a while.

Mo Yichi struggled to get out of Xiao Zhijin's confinement, quickly swam away, and after confirming his safety, he shouted: "You are still ruthless, I am willing to bow down."

Xiao Zhijin smiled and said: "I learned from you, you played tricks on me a lot when I was young."

Mo Yanchi suddenly realized: "You still hate me in love, it's over, it's over, this is an opportunity to take revenge."

"Well, look forward to the future, Your Highness, be careful." Xiao Zhijin said, without waiting for Mo Yanchi to say anything, he took a breath and dived into the water.

The spring water was crystal clear, Mo Yichi watched Xiao Zhijin quickly catch two fish under the water, and suddenly came to his senses, when did Xiao Zhijin learn to swim.

But since there was someone to do it for him, Mo Yichi also planned to do it. He climbed ashore, took off his coat and threw it on the grass to dry. Wearing wet panties to find firewood to start a fire.

When Xiao Zhijin brought the fish ashore, Mo Yichi was already sitting by the fire, drying his clothes.

He heard the sound of water, looked up and said with a smile, "Did you catch it?"

The fire was raging, and there was a different kind of demeanor reflected in Mo Yichi's eyes. Xiao Zhi was stunned for a moment, then quickly looked away, handed him the fish in his hand, and sat beside him in silence.

Mo Yanchi thought about eating fish, how could he pay attention to Xiao Zhijin's subtle changes, he just put the fish in and said: "Take off your clothes quickly, don't catch a cold."

"Oh, good." Xiao Zhijin untied his belt and asked, "Do you know how to bake?"

"No, you can roast it casually, as long as it is cooked." Mo Yanchi said.

Xiao Zhijin: "...Let me do it."

"You know it?" Mo Yanchi was even more surprised, "Why do you know everything? Besides this, what else do you know?"

"Eat fish." Xiao Zhijin put the fish on the shelf that Mo Yichi had just set up at random, turning it over from time to time, his technique was so skillful that it didn't seem like it was the first time.

On the way to rush for the exam, there are often some obstacles. Sometimes it is too late to find an inn, so Xiao Zhijin will stay close to Jiang Wan and learn a lot without knowing it.

People are always growing, maybe they didn't feel anything at the time, but looking back now, Xiao Zhijin suddenly felt that he had grown a lot compared to before.

Mo Yichi looked at Xiao Zhijin with his chin in his hands, and occasionally turned over the clothes on the floor, letting the sun bask in them.

At this time, the sun was shining brightly, and the two of them were leaning against the fire, inevitably sweating, but the fish was not big, so it would be ready soon, Mo Yichi took the fish from Xiao Zhijin, didn't intend to eat it, got up hastily Stay away from the fire, "It's killing me."

Xiao Zhi smiled, followed him to the shade of the tree, blew the crispy fish in his hand, and ate it slowly in the breeze.

"That's great, I haven't felt this comfortable in a long time." Mo Yanchi whispered.

The imperial city was prosperous, but it imprisoned him like a birdcage, making him unable to live in peace and unable to escape.Although he always has to go back, Mo Yichi is willing to imprint the scenery at this moment in his memory for later savoring.

Xiao Zhijuan doesn't care much about foreign things, as long as Mo Yanchi is happy, that's enough.He stretched out his hand to touch Mo Yichi's head, and said, "If you like, we can come here often in the future."

Mo Yanchi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Don't we need to go back?"

He had a premonition that when he went back, the imperial city would definitely change. At that time, he might lose the elegance of enjoying the beautiful scenery.

The eyes of the two met, they were clearly close at hand, but they couldn't understand each other's thoughts.

Xiao Zhijin smiled and said, "Of course I want to go back, but it's not like I won't come back again, is it?"

"Ah."

Mo Yanchi leaned against the tree, looked up at the floating white clouds, and suddenly said: "Come with me to find Mr. later."

"Huh?" Xiao Zhijin was stunned for a moment, and said, "I'm afraid not, Mr. should be in Beijing right now."

A few days ago Xiao Zhijin received Mingshu's letterhead, only then did he know that he had already entered the capital and had been hiding in the capital, neither Xiao Zhijin nor Emperor Hongzhi, as if he was just a passerby.

Mo Yanchi was a little surprised, after listening to Xiao Zhijin's explanation, he could only sigh, and turned to go to school.I used to want to burn down the school, but now I miss it when I think about it.

After eating the fish slowly, the two left in their half-dried clothes.Originally, I wanted to go directly to the school, but it was really uncomfortable to wear wet clothes, so I had to change the way, go back and change clothes before going.

After this toss, the children had already left school when they went there, leaving only an empty school. Fortunately, the two of them didn't come to see the children, so they walked in when they saw no one.

Mo Yanchi saw the ruler on the case at a glance, and said, "So it's not just the master who likes to use the ruler."

Xiao Zhijin smiled when he heard the words: "How does it feel to see this ruler, you were often whipped when you were young."

"Nonsense, I'm so obedient." Mo Yanchi didn't even blink his eyes, and retorted bluntly, even he didn't believe what he said.

He clapped the ruler in his hand, walked to the seat where Xiao Zhijin sat before, and watched carefully.

Xiao Zhijin asked, "What are you looking for?"

"Let me see if you have scribbled before." Mo Yanchi said.

"Yes." Xiao Zhijin walked over, pointed to an ink stain in the corner, and said, "This is it."

Mo Yanchi thought it was ink dots, but when he took a closer look, he realized it was a little turtle.He couldn't help laughing, and said: "Okay, Xiao Zhijin, you used to hold it better than anyone else, but I didn't expect that you could also draw turtles."

"Heroes don't mention the courage of the past, you must have more tables than me." Xiao Zhijin smiled slyly.It's not because he is familiar with Mo Yichi's playful nature, but when he is out of school, he will lie on Mo Yichi's seat and study hard alone, and he knows every stroke on the table like the back of his hand.

Mo Yanchi didn't know these things, he couldn't stop laughing when he saw the turtle: "It's normal that I can draw, it's unexpected, it's unexpected."

"Okay, stop laughing." Xiao Zhijin stretched out his hand to cover Mo Yichi's mouth, and only then managed to stop the man's wanton laughter.

Mo Yanchi was so covered that he couldn't breathe, and he was about to bite his mouth, when suddenly footsteps came from outside the door, and someone asked in surprise, "Who are you?"

I saw the man holding a copy of "Lao Tzu" in his hand, wearing a green shirt, obviously the gentleman who took over Ming Shu's position.

Xiao Zhijin let go of Mo Yanchi, cupped his hands and said, "My teacher is Mr. Cheng Ming, I want to find Mr. Ming to catch up on the old days."

Mo Yanchi didn't want to explain further, so he nodded following Xiao Zhijin's words.

"Mr. Ming is not here, and he probably won't be back until a few months later." The man looked at the two suspiciously, "If it's okay, please leave."

"Yes, excuse me." Xiao Zhijin said.

The two left hand in hand, the man stood outside the door and looked suspiciously for a few times before returning to his room.

Mo Yanchi glanced back, he was relieved when he found the person had left, and said, "This person looks much scarier than Mingshu."

"Well, it's said that he got here because he failed the imperial examination." Xiao Zhijin said.

Mo Yanchi glanced at Xiao Zhijin, and said quietly, "Why are these words so familiar?"
