Ever since Chi Hun was arrested and taken back to Tiangong for a job, Yunhua was sent to the East China Sea to subdue Jiaolong, so it has been several years.

On that day, when it was the day of the first exam, Qi An prepared his luggage and was ready to go on the road.

For some unknown reason, he and Liu Jueming were still in a hot and cold situation. It wasn't that they couldn't hold back each other's face, but that they really didn't know how to show the face to each other.If you have done that kind of thing and still get along with friends, you will be really overwhelmed and even feel awkward.

The smell of the other party, the sound of footsteps, and even the occasional little voice can make him breathe inexplicably.How can we get along with friends?

So Qi Anlin didn't bother to tell him before going to the exam, so he packed his luggage overnight and prepared to leave.

But as soon as he left the house, he ran into Xu Dunzi who was jogging over. He said with a smile on his face, "Brother Xiao'an, I heard that you are going to rush for the exam, why don't I go with you. Don't say anything else, if you meet a bad person, I, Xu Tunzi, can one-vs-three."

As he spoke, he showed his strong young arms.

Qi An was about to reply, "No need," but the other party immediately helped him take the burden off his shoulders: "I'll help you carry it, anyway, I have nothing to do at home, what do you think?"

"All right!"

Qi An reluctantly agreed, and when the two of them were about to step out, he turned his head and took a look into his courtyard, and saw Liu Jueming sitting under the eaves, and a blue bird that flew from nowhere was standing on his finger. Just playing with that blue bird.

Qi An shouted: "I'm leaving!"

Seeing Liu Jueming raised his head: "Go and come back early, I'll cook at home and wait for you."

After all, continue to tease the blue bird.

Qi An turned around, lowered his head and muttered to himself: "Really, birds are more important than me."

Seeing his depression, Xu Dunzi couldn't help but asked beside him, "Why didn't Uncle Ming send you off?"

"I don't want him to give it to me."

Qi An gritted his teeth and said that this face had never appeared in Xu Dunzi's sight before.He couldn't help holding back his laughter, his eyes were always on Qi An's angry and pitiful expression.

Qi An seemed a little uncomfortable being watched by him, and suddenly walked faster, saying: "Let's go, if you don't want to sleep on the street at night, you have to find a place to live first."

"Then can we live in the place that Uncle Ming took us to last time?"

Xu Dunzi showed a joyful smile: "Can we go boating, or go shopping at the market?"

Qi An gave him a sideways glance helplessly: "Coincidentally, I have no money."

"I have it!"

The smile on Xu Dunzi's face couldn't help but laugh.

After listening, Qi An stopped and asked doubtfully, "How do you have so much money?"

"My righteous husband gave it to me. Before he left last time, he left me a lot of silver at the bedside. I planned to spend it myself, without letting you know. Later, I found out that there is nothing to spend money in Fulu Village. It’s not convenient to go to the town, and it just so happens that you’re going to have a spring exam this time, so I’ll go with you when I get the chance.”

After finishing speaking, he gave the other party a wink very proudly: "Look at how well I treat you, buddy."

It was intended to show off, but Qi An asked back: "What does your righteous husband do? Why are you so rich?"

Speaking of this, I think of the idle person in my family who is doing nothing. Obviously, he and Yunhua are old acquaintances, so it is impossible for them to be so different.

Xu Dunzi froze his head and thought about it. He didn't know what kind of business Yifu was in, or what his worth was, and he couldn't answer, so he could only say: "Well, I really don't know, but he certainly doesn't look like an ordinary person. , What do you think?" After thinking about it, he said again: "And that young master of your family is definitely not an ordinary person, I'm afraid you already knew some clues."

Qi An continued to walk step by step: "I told you about this last time, did your adoptive father come back later?"

Xu Dunzi's face, which was still smiling just now, instantly darkened: "No."

"Don't you know where he went?"

Still shaking his head: "I don't know!"

Seeing that Xu Dunzi's happy smile just now gradually disappeared, Qi An stopped asking.The road in the field is wet, the bamboo forest in the distance is foggy, the sound of unknown birds is lingering, and there are a few dark clouds floating in the sky. It seems that there is no sunshine today.

It was almost noon, and the two of them climbed mountains and ridges, and finally reached the busy market.In fact, you can catch a glimpse of the small town on the last hill. The vermilion eaves are endless. It seems that the distance is very close, but in fact, if you walk around, you will find that it is much worse than imagined.

"Is it almost there?"

"It has arrived!"

Qi An responded, and then wiped the fine sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

Xu Dunzi took two quick steps to join him, and said breathlessly, "Anzi, let's find a place to stay first. Anyway, the exam is tomorrow, what do you think?"

Qi An naturally thought so too. After all, Fulu Village is quite far away, and there is no carriage to do it for him, so he can only go. After all, the spring test is set early in the morning, so he can only arrive one day in advance to prepare.

"Do we live where Uncle Ming took us to live last time?"

He nodded: "If you can find it, live there. I'm not spending the money anyway. By the way, don't lie to me, don't eat people and live there, and you won't be able to pay in the end."

"Don't worry, Anzi."

As he spoke, Xu Dunzi touched the silver tael in his chest and pocket, and motioned Qi An to look at it.

Qi An glanced at it, wondering if he felt that he had become the poorest person at the moment, and his heart was unbalanced, so he quickened his pace without saying a word.

After the two found the inn where they were staying, they took a short rest, and lay down for a while after eating and drinking.On the other hand, Qi An didn't stop, flipping through the book and writing, very diligently.

Xu Dunzi sat on the edge of the bed and saw that he didn't lift his head, so he couldn't help asking: "Brother An, aren't you tired after reading for so long?"

Qi An didn't respond. He didn't shake his head until the other party asked for the second time, and he was perfunctory.

"Why don't we go out for a walk in the afternoon, everyone says that the spring scenery can't be missed."

Xu Tunzi got off the edge of the bed, shaking his arms.

"Go on your own. I don't want to miss this spring test. If I fail, I have to wait for three years. I can't wait."

Qi An turned the pages with his thumbs as he spoke, looking very determined.

"That's right, it's tiring to be a farmer for another three years after one failure."

Xu Dunzi seemed to be talking to himself, then looked at Qi An again: "If you don't go, I will go alone first, and we will go out to play for a while at night."

"Well, don't get lost."

"Tch, I, Xu Dunzi, am not a road idiot."

As Xu Dunzi said, he opened the door and went out. With the sound of closing the door, the room fell into silence.

A few leaves of a camphor tree outside the window were blown in by the wind and fluttered onto the pages of Qi An's book.From not far away, there were vaguely lively voices in the street market.

At this time, Liu Jueming was chopping firewood on the back mountain with a basket on his back, with a sharp machete pinned to his waist, walking briskly, looking very comfortable.

He walked to the stream and washed his face, but in fact there was no firewood in the basket, only a few new twigs of the fragrant tree.On the way home, he thought to himself, he didn't know if Qi An had a place to live, or a resting place.Although on the surface it looked like he was too lazy to talk to him, but now he started to worry about him inexplicably, which is really weird.

As Liu Jueming walked, he recalled in his mind what Qi An had said to him in the past two days, and even some actions he had done.

When he got home, he put down the basket of machetes and rearranged his belt.Qi An found someone to make the rough cloth clothes for him.Not at all comfortable to wear, he thought.

Walking into the courtyard, I still couldn't help sighing softly. Before the village chief came back, I'd better go and see the boy, in case the wild wolf caught him before he reached the town.

Xu Dunzi was holding candied haws in his hand, walking very leisurely in the coming and going street scene.

Suddenly a figure stepped in front of him and blocked his way.He raised his head wonderingly, and saw that the man in Tsing Yi was slim, with his hair in a bun, his hands behind his back, and he was staring at him with deliberately sharp and inexplicable eyes.

That person is Liu Jueming!

"Uncle Ming"

Xu Dunzi was so frightened that he almost threw the candied haws in his hand, with disbelief written all over his face.

Liu Jueming stretched out his hand directly, took the half-eaten string of candied haws from his hand, then brought it to his mouth, and naturally took a bite.

"Why are you here?"

Xu Dunzi lowered his eyelashes and muttered in a low voice, "I still have to ask you this question."

But then Liu Jueming looked over, and he quickly changed his mouth and said, "I'm here with Brother Xiao An, he's rushing for the exam."

"What about the kid?"

"At the inn." Xu Dunzi walked up to him, and said cheerfully, "Just go back to the inn you took us to live in last time."

Surprised, Liu Jueming took another bite of candied haws: "Is he so rich?"

"It's not him." Xu Dunzi poked himself: "It's me!"

Liu Jueming gave him a sideways look. From this point of view, it is not impossible, after all Yunhua is a rich man, and even the place where he lives in Tiangong is much more upscale than his own.What's more, the last time I came here with the two of them, it was a reward from others.

"Then why didn't he come out with you?"

"Brother An, he wants to read a book. He is at the inn. He is probably still working hard at the moment."

Xu Dunzi said that he wanted to snatch the last two remaining candied haws from his hand, but before he stretched out his hand, he had already eaten them all.

He had no choice but to hang his face depressed, and couldn't say anything.

One of them was full of satisfaction, the other walked side by side with dejected head. Xu Dunzi raised his head and asked, "Uncle Ming, you must be tired after walking such a long mountain road. Would you like to go to the inn to rest for a while?"

"No, I made a special trip to play with you."

As Liu Jueming said, he turned around and smiled at him, pretending to be flattering.

"That little Anta"

"ignore him!"

As Liu Jueming said, he looked towards a restaurant full of lights and festoons and a constant stream of customers.He raised his finger and said, "Let's go there and have a look."

Xu Dunzi looked in the direction he pointed, even if he didn't want to, but on the surface he could only show his willingness.He nodded and walked with the other party.

There is a plaque hanging in front of that fancy restaurant, which reads "Chunli Courtyard".
