Ning Yu and Zheng Xiujie went to the academy every day to deliver meals to Zheng Xiuran, who had forgotten to eat and sleep. Recently, they found that the academy suddenly started to decorate up and down. Although it was not decorated with lights and festoons, a lot of high shelves were erected in the meeting hall in the middle of the academy.

The elevated shelves made of bamboo poles were covered with inspiring sentences in black letters on a red background. Zhu Yi said that the academy was preparing to hold a swearing-in meeting for the students going to the capital next month.

The capital is far from Feiyu City, and it takes one and a half months just by carriage. The students of Zeying Academy have two ways to choose to go to the capital.

One is to join the Academy’s sending group to Beijing. The Academy will send special personnel to organize the students to go to Beijing. The person in charge of the academy will help with the accommodation, carriages and horses until they take the big exam in the capital.

This method is designed to take care of students from ordinary families. You only need to pay 50 taels to join the sending group organized by the academy, which is safe and reliable.

One is to hire a car by yourself, that is, go on the road alone, report to the academy, leave the school on your own, and go to Beijing on another day.

This is the choice of those rich kids who don’t want to squeeze into the shop with others. They usually send the Beijing group on the road earlier, and find a quiet place in the capital to study for a few more days in advance.

Zheng Xiuran discussed with his eldest brother, and Zheng Xiuyuan suggested to him that his family can help him hire a private carriage to go to Beijing. Yin Zi doesn't have to worry, it would be better to go to the capital early to get used to it.

But the second child finally decided to join the Beijing Sending Group, because the Sending Group also provides a service of regular two-way mail delivery.

"Brother, it's good to go to Beijing with the students from the academy. I'll write to you when the time comes, so you don't have to worry too much."

"Ning Yu too, you have to write to me too, alas, I haven't left yet, I've already started to miss you."

Zheng Xiuyuan and Ning Yu were amused by Zheng Xiuran's lamenting tone, but they also nodded to him at the same time.

"Third brother, and you, the city lord values ​​you so much now, don't let him down."

"I know, I know, second brother, how many times have I said it."

The third child grabbed Ning Yu's sleeve and hid behind him, avoiding the nagging of the second child.

On this day, not only the students of the academy participated in the swearing-in meeting, but their relatives were also allowed to be there to cheer for them.

After the old dean gave an impassioned speech, many students who were about to take the big exam in Beijing solemnly swore that they would play their best, gain fame and serve the country faithfully.

After the meeting, people gathered together and began to communicate with each other, and the always quiet academy became lively, full of people's voices.

After discussing with his elder brother, Zheng Xiuran decided to participate in the delegation, and went to the side to find his wife to sign up.

Two days ago, Zheng Xiujie tasted more than a dozen kinds of preserved fruit in the market in order to present the preserved fruit plan he suggested to City Lord Fu Qing. He got a little bit sick from eating, and ran to the toilet without saying hello after the meeting.

Zheng Xiuyuan accompanied Ning Yu, and they walked to a bamboo frame made of red cloth, where tea was provided for the guests, and the two of them were talking and laughing while holding fragrant hot tea.

"Zheng Xiuyuan? Are you Zheng Xiuyuan..."

"I'm Li Yang, do you remember? At that time, we were in the same examination room during the township examination."

Zheng Xiuyuan looked at the rosy-faced man in white student uniform and greeted him warmly, "Township exam?"That was many years ago, before Mom and Dad even left...

The boss of the Zheng family was stunned, but Li Yang introduced him on his own.

Eight years ago, Li Yang and Zheng Xiuyuan took part in the provincial examination. They were in the same examination room of Zeying Academy. They had never known each other before. Unexpectedly, Li Yang fainted suddenly while waiting to enter the examination room. It was only half an hour before the start of the examination. The teachers present had to invigilate the exam, and they were not allowed to leave at will, and the students all showed embarrassment. No one was willing to take the risk of being late to send this fainted person to the hospital.

Zheng Xiuyuan stepped forward. When he entered the examination room today, he saw the person who came from the post station to deliver the examination papers on a horse. At this time, the examiner was still present, so the horse should be there.

Although the 13-year-old Zheng Xiuyuan looked thin, he carried Li Yang onto the horse very quickly and neatly, galloped, sent Li Yang to the medical center in Feiyu City, and then returned to Zeying Academy, exactly half an hour.

Zheng Xiuyuan did have this incident in his mind, and later Li Yang went to Baiyu Village to express his gratitude. At that time, Zheng's parents were seriously ill and died of illness.

Zheng Xiuyuan still has some memories of Li Yang's visit, and now he has recognized Li Yang.

Because of that fainting, Li Yang was in poor health for several years. Later, he passed the township examination and came to Zeying Academy to study. Now that he has recuperated, he is ready to go to Beijing to take the exam.

When Zheng Xiuyuan heard that Li Yang was also preparing to go to Beijing, and saw that his complexion was rosy, he was indeed much better than before, so he was emotional for a while, so he talked to him a few more words.

Ning Yu stood aside and couldn't understand or get involved in their conversation, so he went to the side and sat down to drink tea and rest.

It has rained a few times in the past few nights, the air in the academy is exceptionally moist today, the sun is shining slightly in early winter, and the air is still cold, but the lively voices of people around make people feel like they are in a lively gathering.

Ning Yu was closing his eyes to feel the surrounding environment when he suddenly heard a loud shout;

"Be careful……"

Immediately Ning Yu was thrown on the ground by himself.In an instant, he heard the heavy and muffled sound of heavy objects hitting the person, and the person on him spit out a mouthful of blood after being hit.

"puff--"

Ning Yu opened his eyes, and saw that Zheng Xiuyuan's handsome face was full of pain, and all he saw was the corner of Zheng Xiuyuan's bloody mouth. Ning Yu's eyes widened, and he didn't know what happened.

"Help, the shelf is falling..."

"Brother Zheng, brother Zheng, are you okay!"

"Help, help—"

The bamboo frame covered with red cloth just now, probably because of the rain these past few days, the soil has become soft, unable to support the weight of the entire frame, it fell down all of a sudden.

He threw it straight at Ning Yu who was sitting.

Zheng Xiuyuan didn't have time to react. He was still reminiscing with Li Yang when he saw something falling towards Ning Yu from the corner of his eye. Without even thinking about it, he quickly walked over and hugged Ning Yu in his arms. The scattered giant bamboo frames "bang" It hit Zheng Xiuyuan's body with a loud sound, his internal organs were impacted, and he couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of pus and blood.

Those bamboo poles tore the hemp ropes that bound them, and other shelves scattered and rolled to the ground.

But Ning Yu could no longer hear other voices in his ears at this time. He heard Zheng Xiuyuan's gradually weaker breathing, and felt more and more uneasy in his heart. He patted Zheng Xiuyuan who seemed to be about to faint, and said loudly;

"Don't sleep, Brother Zheng, don't sleep, just look at me!"

The loud noise from the collapsed frame attracted the attention of many people. Coupled with Li Yang's call for help, the crowd came towards this side in an instant. Seven or eight people worked together to push away the big bamboo frame that was pressing on Zheng Xiuyuan's body, and struggled to turn the unconscious Zheng Xiuyuan over. , revealing the Ning Yu he had just protected.

"Tsk tsk, what kind of bamboo frame is this, it's so heavy."

"It's overwhelming..."

"Hurry up and call someone, take it to the hospital..."

"This boy, it looks like he was hit badly. There is such a big pool of blood on the ground..."

"Hey, this man is protecting a girl..."

At this time, Ning Yu's face was stained with the blood spurted by Zheng Xiuyuan. He sat on the ground and kept patting Zheng Xiuyuan's face. Ning Yu was very panicked. If he was hit by such a strong bamboo frame, would Zheng Xiuyuan die? Lose?

Ning Yu was wrapped in fear, he clenched the clothes on Zheng Xiuyuan's chest, leaned over and put his ear against his chest, tears poured out unconsciously.

"Brother Zheng, Brother Zheng, wake up, wake up, don't die, okay?"

When Zheng Xiuran pushed through the crowd and came, Ning Yu was lying on Zheng Xiuyuan's body with tears all over his face.

At this time, the second child also knew what happened from the discussion of the surrounding crowd. Just now, some students had called for someone with medical skills to come over, but they didn't arrive now. The second child forced himself to calm down.

He helped Ning Yu up, held him trembling all over, and comforted Ning Yu not to be afraid, the eldest brother would be fine.

After that, he asked his classmates to help him tie a red cloth and bamboo poles into a simple stretcher, and carried the unconscious Zheng Xiuyuan up.

After Ning Yu's mood returned to normal, he didn't stay idle. Not only did he help make a stretcher, but he also told his second brother that Zheng Xiuyuan was hit on the back at that time, and when carrying him, don't let his back touch the ground. It hurts.

The second child looked at Ning Yu who had calmed down, comforted him and reassured him that he would be careful.

The second child and another student carefully carried Zheng Xiuyuan to his school building, and Ning Yu kept holding the hand of the eldest on the stretcher.Seeing that the injured person had already left, the surrounding crowd also gradually dispersed.

The third child who came back after a long time searched for a long time but couldn't find the boss and Ning Yu, only saw the dismantled shelf and the bamboo poles all over the place.

After asking around, he realized that someone was injured, and Zheng Xiuran carried him to his school building.

Because he was too anxious, he only heard people say that there was a girl next to him crying on the ground. The third child subconsciously thought that the injured person was Ning Yu. He hurried to the school building of the second brother. He saw the bed. The person on the bed was covered in obscene clothes with blood stains on his back, because he couldn't see his face when he was lying on his stomach, but the third child almost believed that it was "Ning Yu".

He hurried over and told in tears that he shouldn't go to the toilet, otherwise Ning Yu would not be injured, why didn't the elder brother protect you well, he is really useless, if it were him, this would definitely not happen sort of thing.

But Ning Yu, don't be afraid, I'm by your side right now, just call me if you need anything.

"Third brother, you are here."

Ning Yu suddenly appeared at the door with a basin of hot water and a handkerchief.

"Ning Yu? You, you, you are all right!"

"Great!"

The third child looked at Ning Yu at the door with both joy and shock. The one on the bed was...

"Big big... big brother?"

Zheng Xiujie turned his head stiffly, and looked at his elder brother who was still unconscious on the bed with embarrassment.

"Ning Yu, I thought it was you..."

"Well, I'll go and see why the doctor hasn't come yet, so don't bother big brother."

The third child justified the boss with a sneer, and slipped out of the room as soon as he turned around.

Ning Yu watched the playful third child run away like the wind in front of him, pursed his lips and smiled.

But looking at Zheng Xiuyuan lying on the bed, he looked worried again.

"Brother Zheng, I found hot water, let me wipe your hands for you."

Ning Yu said to the boss on the bed.

No one responded, and the boss of the Zheng family was still asleep.

The ground where they fell was somewhat muddy, and their clothes, hands, hair, and even their faces were covered with mud.

Ning Yu gently helped Zheng Xiuyuan wipe his hands. Zheng Xiuyuan's calloused hands even had a few deep scratches. Ning Yu carefully picked out the gravel inside and wiped it clean.

Ning Yu stared at the bloodstains on Zheng Xiuyuan's back, his eyes were slightly red,

He remembered what Zheng Xiuyuan said softly to him when he was in a coma, and he lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

At that time Zheng Xiuyuan's mouth was still bleeding, but he smiled at Ning Yu and said weakly;

"Fortunately, I was the one who hit it, otherwise I must be in more pain than now."
