Wu Zonglun praised a few words, and Wu Zonglun also found it funny.

However, he is very grateful for his wise decision to see Liu Hai every day in court, which has become what he looks forward to most every day.

Seeing Liu Hai busy in the yard, Wu Zonglun took the time to talk to him.Sometimes chatting, Liu Hai didn't answer, but listened very seriously with his round eyes like black glass. Wu Zonglun looked at him, and there was always an urge to touch his face. After he reacted, he secretly scolded himself for being dirty But it is always difficult to restrain the scorching gaze he puts on Liu Hai.

As time went by, Liu Hai also realized that Master Wu treated him extraordinarily well.Although he is simple, he is not stupid.He has no ill feeling towards this handsome man who is usually serious and loves people like a child. Sometimes he accidentally bumps into him looking at him behind his back. Although he will avoid his eyes in embarrassment, he also knows that he is actually very happy in his heart.

One month later, when Wu Zonglun personally handed over the monthly money to Liu Hai, Liu Hai took the money bag and was startled: "My lord, why are there so many?"

Wu Zonglun said: "How can there be too much? You cut firewood, carry water, clean the yard, and do everything every day. I only pay you according to the standard of a third-class handyman."

Liu Hai shook his head and said: "But I only sell a load of firewood for two renminbi, which is too much money, I can't take it, if mother knows that I take so much, she will scold me."

Wu Zonglun heard him say that a load of firewood only sells for two Wen, and he felt sore: "This money is not all your wages, you can use it to buy some tonics for your mother, and take it as a reward for your filial piety from this county. In the future, anyone who is as pure and filial as you will be rewarded by this county."

Liu Hai listened and took it silently.Kneeling down suddenly, he said, "Your Excellency is very kind to Liu Hai. Liu Hai has nothing to repay you now, and I hope that one day in the future, he will be able to repay Your Excellency's kindness."

Wu Zonglun felt uncomfortable, and quickly helped him up: "What are you talking about repaying favors and not repaying favors? Liu Hai, men have gold under their knees, men can't kneel casually, you know!"

Liu Hai saw him angry for the first time.Busily stood up and said: "Yes, sir, don't be angry, Liu Hai remembers!"

Seeing him leaving, Wu Zonglun muttered from behind: "Liu Hai...

Repay

two,

These days Liu Hai got up earlier than usual because he was going to work in the county government. Seeing that he was more tired than before every day, but his spirit was better than before, he was happy all day long, and he vaguely guessed that he might be It has something to do with the young county magistrate, but he dare not think too much about it.

I got up early in the morning to serve my mother and had breakfast. Liu Hai left enough lunch in the pot before going up the mountain to cut firewood.

Unexpectedly, within a few steps of walking out of the village, I heard someone yelling, "The pirates are coming! The pirates are coming!" The smoke billowed in the distance, and someone was looting on horseback.Startled, he hurried back and ran towards the village.

This village is remote and poor. Pirates were not rare in the past, but since Wu Zonglun became the magistrate, he began to reorganize the county's military equipment, and ordered the county captain to prepare a guard army in the county, so the gang entrenched nearby. The pirates hadn't entered the county town for more than a month, and they were still small in number, and they didn't dare to fight head-on with the army in the city, so they had to plunder small villages that they had looked down upon before to make up for the emptiness.

Liu Hai ran faster and faster. When he returned home, before he could say too much, he carried his mother on his back and ran up the mountain.Fortunately, he lived at the foot of the mountain and was familiar with the mountain roads, so he stayed on the mountain until sunset, and then he tremblingly carried his mother down the mountain.

Only then did I realize that the village had been looted, and some houses were still emitting black smoke. His house was also robbed by robbers. Fortunately, the robbers did not burn down his house.It's just that the last month's salary that I just got is gone.

Many people in the village were killed by robbers, and every family was in tears and sad.For a while, there was a cry of mourning.

Liu Hai stared blankly at the thick smoke billowing in the village, wanting to cry without tears.

Wu Zonglun was restless all day today. First of all, Liu Hai didn't come all day, and he didn't say anything in advance. Liu Hai is a hardworking person. If there is no important matter, he will never come inexplicably.He stayed up until the afternoon and sent someone to inquire, but they brought back a piece of news that broke his heart: Clamshell Village was ransacked by pirates, and the village was too poor. Few people.

After hearing the reply, Wu Zonglun seemed to see the miserable appearance of Liu Hai lying in a pool of blood.Frightened, he put on the armor himself, and led a team of guards to Clamshell Village, but it was too late.

Wu Zonglun checked the tragic situation in the village along the way, and his face became more and more gloomy.Walking to the old house of Liu Hai's family, he tried his best to stabilize his mind, dismounted and entered the yard.

Seeing Liu Hai sitting blankly in the middle of the dark courtyard, I finally let go of the heart that I have been carrying all day!

"Bangs!"

He couldn't help but rushed forward and hugged Liu Hai in his arms.

Liu Hai heard Wu Zonglun's call in the dark, like a puppet awakened.He raised his head blankly, tears streaming down his face involuntarily.

"Liu Hai, it's all my fault, why didn't I come here sooner! It's all my fault! Don't cry, don't cry! It's okay..."

"...my lord... woo woo..."

Wu Zonglun felt distressed, patted him on the back and said: "Don't cry, don't cry, Liu Hai is good..."

Hearing his coaxing tone, Liu Hai realized that he was in the arms of the other party, wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, and shoved Wu Zonglun away embarrassedly.

"My lord, I'm fine."

Wu Zonglun felt cold.He hugged Liu Hai out of excitement just now, it turned out that Liu Hai was very repulsed by men hugging, it seemed that he would not let Liu Hai know about his secret thoughts in the future, he didn't want to see Liu Hai loathe him.

For several days, although Liu Hai still went to the county government office to deliver firewood and do miscellaneous work, but the smile on his face was less, and he looked listless.

When Wu Zonglun saw him, he knew that he hadn't fully recovered. He didn't dare to make any moves these days, but just watched from a distance. After this pirate incident, he knew in his heart that he didn't just like Liu Hai.

Seeing the happy and smiling Liu Hai, I feel that the whole person is like a spring breeze, and I am happy with him.Seeing the sad and tearful Liu Hai, I only felt pain and soreness as if my heart was about to be crushed by him.This feeling, although he has never been in love with anyone, Wu Zonglun naturally understands that this is falling in love with him.But being emotional is not a bad thing, but being emotional to a man is a risk to the world.What's more, he bears the grace of the emperor, and as an official, he should be an example for everyone.

Although he secretly made up his mind to suppress this feeling that shouldn't have sprouted, he didn't know that heaven would not obey people's wishes, and things about love were never up to people to make decisions on their own.

More than ten days later, Liu Hai came to deliver firewood as usual, but Wu Zonglun was nowhere to be seen.The inner office was cleaned up, as if it hadn't been back for a long time.A few yamen guards in the yamen said that the lord had just left and was about to go out to sea by boat.As for where to go and what to do, no one can tell.Shao An happened to come back, and seeing Liu Hai's uneasy look, he secretly said, "Your Excellency, this is going to eliminate harm for the people!"

It turned out that the small group of pirates who killed and set fire this time were only loose bandits nearby, and a larger group of pirates entrenched near Putian, which has formed a climate.Wu Zonglun is going to contact nearby states and counties to jointly prepare an army to deal with this group of pirates.

Hearing this, Liu Hai had an ominous premonition in his heart, but he didn't know who to talk to.Just ask: "When will the adults come back?"

Shao An shook his head and said: "When I came back from the pier, my lord hadn't boarded the boat yet, and I looked around as if waiting for someone. If you go see him off now, there is still time."

Liu Hai's heart skipped a beat.

In fact, the last time he encountered pirates, the reason why he has not recovered so far is largely due to guilt.Just a few days before meeting the pirates, he met a beautiful girl in the back mountain, who stopped him and said that he lived in Ziwei Cave, Liumang Mountain, and was a maid beside the Mazu Empress, because Liu Hai rescued him on the mountain the day before yesterday My sister, in order to thank Liu Hai, specially asked the empress for a golden leaf, as long as she blows on this leaf, she will come to rescue him once.In a daze, Liu Hai saw an extra leaf in his hand.The girl disappeared in the blink of an eye.He thought about it, where did he save any girl?It's just that I exchanged firewood for a little fox that fell into a hunter's trap by mistake!

Hearing that the pirates were coming, he only knew to flee with his mother, but never thought that this piece of gold leaf could save his life.If I could find that fairy girl in time to help, wouldn't the pirates kill so many people?

Every time he thinks of this, he feels a big stone on his heart.Now, Mr. Wu, who has treated him so well, is going to suppress the bandits. He did such a dangerous thing, but it was not for himself, it was all for the people who had never met him before!What if he meets those desperadoes?Will he be in any danger?Will he come back?Will he never be able to smile to himself again, no longer

Look at yourself with tender eyes?

Liu Hai suddenly ran up, he wanted to deliver this golden leaf to Mr. Wu!If you are in danger, you can ask that fairy girl to save your lord's life, is this considered as atonement for yourself?

The more he thought, the faster he ran.

Sweaty and panting, I arrived at the pier, but I could only see an official ship slowly leaving the shore from a distance, and the word "Wu" was embroidered on the flag fluttering in the wind.

Liu Hai's heart sank.

Didn't catch up after all, and could vaguely see a tall and straight figure in armor standing on the bow, Liu Hai stared at it for a while, felt that the figure could also see him, and was also looking in his direction, couldn't help but waved Come on!

Being so far away, Wu Zonglun couldn't see Liu Hai originally, and he also knew that if he left today, he would not see Liu Hai for a long time.Except for the high-sounding reason of killing harm for the people
