The three arrived at the destination of the trip - Linghe Village at noon.

The village is not big, a loess road leads from the head to the end of the village, surrounded by thatched houses on both sides, and a bluestone hut at the end of the village, which is already the most decent house in the village.

The village entrance was simply surrounded by fences, used as roadblocks, and an old man leaned against a banyan tree at the head of the village, smoking dry tobacco.

Luo Jinnian quickly glanced at the yellow mud on the boots, then turned his eyes away, and couldn't bear to look at it for another moment.As soon as the wind picked up, the pungent smell of dry smoke spread, the tip of his nose moved slightly, his brows were furrowed together, and he stepped back covering his nose.

After taking a few steps back, he suddenly moved forward again, his face was terribly dark.

"What are you going to do?" Song Ling asked unhurriedly.

Luo Jinnian paused, and replied angrily, "Tell that old man to stop smoking."

Hearing this, Song Ling breathed a sigh of relief. If he wasn't afraid of making trouble, he was afraid that he wouldn't make trouble. He was holding back his anger, and when the trouble broke out, the mountains would collapse and the earth would collapse. Even the gods couldn't stop him when they came.

Luo Jinnian obeyed all the way, which really made him frightened, but now he was relieved.

"Xiang Wu must not cause trouble. I have a heavy responsibility and must not conflict with others." Song Ling said with deep meaning.

Xiang Wu?Who is Xiang Wu?Luo Jinnian froze for a moment, then remembered the identities they were playing. He was Xiang Wu, Tong Yu was Xiang Wan, and Song Ling was Li Meng, the son who was going to Beijing to rush for the exam.

He's not really stupid, it's just that the powerful position behind him is enough to let him live freely, do whatever he wants, and say whatever he wants.Right now, it is very possible to go deep into the enemy's belly, stop acting arrogantly, and instead think rationally.

After comforting Luo Jinnian, Song Ling took the lead to walk towards the banyan tree, and said, "Old man, sorry for the trouble, I have something to ask."

The old man squinted his eyes to look at Song Ling, took a deep breath of the dry cigarette, and said lazily, "Where did you get it from?"

"The junior's surname is Li and his name is Meng. He is from Fuzhou. He went to Beijing to rush for the exam, but got lost accidentally. I hope the old man can give some pointers."

The old man couldn't understand the polite manners, but he could understand the four characters of going to Beijing to rush for the exam, his eyes lit up, he stood up, wiped off the weeds on his body, and flattered him: "It's actually a master official!" Turned upside down.

Song Ling waved his hand: "Don't dare, dare not, this junior is just a white body."

The old man rolled his eyes, of course he knew how to go to Beijing, but if he let the future officials go to the village for a while, it would be good to say it.If Mr. Guan still remembers this small village after high school, a little bit of leakage between his fingers will make them hungry.

"Master Guan, old man, I have never been out of the village in my life, so I don't know how to get to Shangjing, but our village chief has been to Shangjing, so he must know." The old man felt uneasy.

Song Ling was thoughtful, and answered after a while: "Then I will trouble the old man to take the younger generation to meet the village chief."

The old man hastily agreed, and led Song Ling to the village, for fear that he would regret it.

As soon as you enter the village, cocks are crowing and dogs are barking, there are women weaving in front of the door, and some men are teasing children.

"Old Zhuang, who is behind you?"

The old man tried his best to straighten his curved back. It was his great honor to lead the official for a while, and said proudly: "This is the official who came to Beijing to catch the exam."

As soon as this remark came out, the surroundings exclaimed.Fear, reverence, longing, longing, all kinds of emotions flow through the eyes.More naughty children rushed to report to the village chief.

The village head got the news and waited at the gate of his courtyard, and the old man stepped forward to explain the whole story.

The village chief nodded slightly and bowed to Song Ling.

"This old man is the head of Linghe Village. You are very polite." The village head really has some knowledge.

Song Ling sideways avoided the salute, and said in return: "The village chief, you are the elder, and the younger generation should salute."

The village chief stroked his beard: "Don't dare to be ashamed, don't dare to be ashamed."

After speaking, he led Song Ling and his party into the house.

After the tea was ready, Song Ling explained the reason for his visit again, and the village head said with a smile, "I do know the way to Shangjing, so I can relieve Li Sheng's worries."

Song Ling breathed a sigh of relief, and said gratefully: "I am grateful for the guidance of the village chief. I wonder if there is anything in the village that Meng can help?"

As soon as the village chief heard it, he knew that Li Sheng didn't want to get involved with a small village, and wanted to end his kindness as soon as possible. He thought for a while and said, "I wonder if Li Sheng can rename the village for Linghe Village?" Old and sophisticated, with sharp eyesight, Li Sheng has a good conversation, and he will become a great weapon in the future. It is better to accept it as soon as he sees it, so as not to annoy Li Sheng, and make enemies instead of making friends.

"It's simple."

"There is one more thing to trouble the village chief. The junior and the book boy have been lost for many days and are a little tired. I wonder if we can borrow the precious land to make some repairs. The junior will pay the money."

The village chief had nothing to do, fearing that Song Ling would not like to interact with the villagers, he deliberately led him to a secluded hut and ordered that no one should disturb him.

After closing the doors and windows, Luo Jinnian, who had been dressed all the way, showed his true colors. He kept searching in the cabin, took out a piece of linen from the wooden cabinet, and twirled a little bit of the fabric with his fingertips.

Covering his nose with one hand and shaking the cloth with the other, the room was full of dust.

Then use a rag to wipe the dirt on the boots, which is rough.

Song Ling and Tong Yu ignored him and looked at each other. One checked the inside of the house and the other checked the outside of the house. After confirming that no one was eavesdropping, Song Ling lowered his voice and said, "Is there anything unusual?"

Tong Yu shook his head, "So far nothing suspicious has been found."

"Go to find the whereabouts of the missing spy in the mansion first. If he is still alive, you can get news from him. If he is dead, then think of another way."

"Hey, why is there nothing abnormal?"

Luo Jinnian stepped on the low stool, holding a linen cloth covered in yellow mud in his hand, and looked at Song Ling provocatively.

Song Ling asked in surprise, "Did you find out?"

Luo Jinnian raised his chin slightly, threw the linen into Tong Yu's arms, folded his arms and said, "Of course." He knew the danger of the trip and didn't show off too much, and continued: "When I first entered the village, everyone looked at me reverently. Except one."

"He has a deer head and mouse eyes, and he is dressed in khaki. He hides behind the firewood pile of the second family at the entrance of the village. He sees my eyes dodge and his behavior is sneaky. He looks like a ghost."

Tong Yu threw the sackcloth in his arms on the ground, quietly opened the door, and disappeared.

"No wonder." Song Ling chuckled, no wonder Luo Jinnian found out that something was wrong. He wore fancy clothes all day long in the capital, and went to crowded places, just to satisfy his vanity by watching other people's fascinated eyes.In terms of distinguishing eyes, he is also an expert.

"why are you laughing?"

Song Ling's smile didn't diminish: "Brother is rarely smart, shouldn't he be laughing?"

Luo Jinnian's face darkened, and he didn't open his mouth. Anyway, he can't talk to him, so why bother to fight for the advantage of words.He stretched out his long arms, hooked them around the waist of the smiling man, and pulled them closer.

Yes, I can't beat you, but you can't beat me either.

After all these years of suffering, Master Luo finally learned how to fight back correctly.

He looked into Song Ling's eyes, and warned: "Mr. Li, you are away from home now, and no one is backing you up. Believe it or not, I will commit the crime next time?"
