The daily routine of the ancient imperial examination

After Lu Xiuyuan packed up the things he will need for a while, he took Shi Yunchen and the two guards and set off.

The path up the mountain has been walked by the villagers for many years. It is already flat and open, and there are few animals around, so it is relatively safe.

As long as they walked along this road, they would arrive at the home of Orion Qin when they were halfway up the mountain.

Halfway up the mountain, Lu Xiuyuan's body gradually began to feel overwhelmed. He stopped and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"Wait first, rest and then go."

After speaking, he found a random place to sit beside, untied the gourd hanging from his waist, and drank two sips of water.

Shi Yunchen glanced at him in surprise, "Lu Xiucai, your physical strength is not good enough?"

He was too lazy to answer the words of a certain young master. He only drank two bowls of porridge in the morning. It was already noon, and his stomach was already growling with hunger. If he didn't eat any more, he would probably suffer from hypoglycemia.

Silently took out the pancakes from home in his backpack, and ate a few mouthfuls with tea.

"Wait until I have two bites before leaving."

Only then did Shi Yunchen realize that the other party had been tossing with him for a long time but still hadn't gotten a drop of water, so he touched his nose embarrassedly.

He waved to the guard, took a bag of pastries and handed it over, "Here, do you want some pastries?"

Lu Xiuyuan took a look and saw that there were two crystal clear mung bean cakes. He thanked them and took them.

I put the cake I ate before back into the package, now that there are better ones, there is no need to wrong myself.

After resting for a cup of tea, Lu Xiuyuan stood up, patted the dirt on his body, and continued to lead the way. Fortunately, he saw Qin Feng's house after a while.

The small courtyard outside their house is surrounded by a fence made of mottled bamboo, and the bamboo wall is covered with rose flowers in full bloom in all seasons, which are very colorful and eye-catching in this big mountain.

Even though Lu Xiuyuan had been here last time, he still couldn't help but praise the layout of their house's fence.

When winter comes, he will also cut some bamboo to make this kind of bamboo fence.

"Well... this fence wall is pretty good!" Shi Yunchen followed up from behind, saw the fence wall and commented, "It fits my young master's aesthetic~"

Shi Yunchen didn't answer, he stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Is Brother Qin at home?"

Not long after the courtyard door was opened, Qin Orion poked his head out.

"Brother Lu, it's really you, Brother Lu, why are you free to go up the mountain today?" The other party was obviously surprised.

Lu Xiuyuan lowered his voice and said, "I've come to deliver you some business."

Qin Feng looked at the three people behind him, and one of them was dressed either richly or expensively. No matter what the situation was, the most important thing was to open the door first, "Hurry up, please come inside."

"It's getting late, so we won't go in first. If Brother Qin is free today, can you be our Master Shi's guide in the mountains for a day?" Lu Xiuyuan pointed to the person behind him and explained.

As soon as he heard the guide, Qin Feng understood that Qian Duo, the young master of the rich family, wanted to wander around the mountains and get some wild game by the way, he understood this!

He had seen other hunters entertain young masters from the city in this way before, but he never thought that he would be a guide once in his lifetime, so he had to perform well.

He hurriedly nodded and agreed: "If you are free, if you are free, may I ask if you are going to go up the mountain now?"

Shi Yunchen nodded, "Naturally."

He thought for a while, then took out another piece of silver from his pocket and threw it to Qin Liehu, "Go and pack your things, we'll set off right away."

"Okay, please wait a moment, young master."

Lu Xiuyuan saw Qin Feng go back to the house, so he found a rock at the door and sat down, and had a good rest in advance. It seemed that he was the weakest in the group of them, so don't hold back for a while.

When Shi Yunchen saw that Lu Xiuyuan was sitting there to rest, he couldn't help shaking his head, "Lu Xiucai's physical strength is not as good as mine, he still needs to exercise more."

Seeing the other party's proud appearance, he thought to himself, instead of writing cool articles in the next book, let's write a bloody story that abuses both the heart and the body

Find a place in the storybook first, and you will get it back sooner or later.

Shi Yunchen was still unaware of the upcoming tragic story, he just felt that this Xiucai Lu was a bit honest, people couldn't help but want to tease him, seeing his different reactions, it's just that the other party didn't seem to cooperate.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Qin Feng to come out with the hunting guy on his back.

"Everyone will follow me in a while, be careful not to get lost!" With a wave of his hand, he began to direct him into the mountain pretendingly.

After walking two steps, Qin Feng opened up the chatter box: "Let me tell you, young master, you have found the right person for me to lead the way. My old Qin grew up in this big mountain. Any corner of this mountain There is no one that I, Lao Qin, don't know about!"

"Really? So powerful." Shi Yunchen looked at the boundless mountain, a little suspicious.

"Damn! I'm afraid you won't believe me when I tell you, my father and I went hunting when I was three years old, and I walked all over this mountain alone when I was five years old. It's been more than 20 years now, and I dare say that no one is better than me. Learn more about this mountain!"

Hearing this, Lu Xiuyuan held back his laughter, Qin Feng's bragging ability is a bit strong.

"Oh, so that's the case. Then do you know any legends about this mountain? For example, about the fox fairy." Shi Yunchen asked curiously.

"Hey! You are asking the right person!" Qin Feng patted his chest and said proudly: "Our mountain does have many mysterious legends, such as the lake on the top of the mountain, which is said to be the tears of a goddess! Including the name of our Jinshan, it also has a lot of origins!"

"Oh, that's it." Shi Yunchen shook off the folding fan and fanned it twice, "Then tell me about these legends, this young master is more interested in this aspect."

Qin Feng paused, cleared his throat, "Well... well, I'm just a rough person, I don't know how to tell stories, let my brother Lu tell the story, he is a scholar, he is eloquent!"

Lu Xiuyuan was stunned. He, a local, had never heard of the legend of the mountain top lake or the tears of the goddess. How could he explain it?

Just as he was about to refuse, he turned his head and saw Qin Feng winking at him frantically.

……

Well, he got it.

Looking at the surrounding trees and trees, he organized his words and said slowly:

"It is said that a long time ago, our mountain was still barren, with no grass growing, and there was a sudden severe drought. The crops in the field were not harvested, and the people at the foot of the mountain were living in dire straits."

"One day, a child went up to the mountain to dig Guanyin soil. While digging, suddenly a spring gushed out from the ground! The child was overjoyed, the village was saved! He just wanted to tell the good news to the villagers! He saw a black wind blowing , a man with a blue face and fangs claiming to be a mountain god stopped him!"

"This is the sin of your previous life in Dahuang Village, so this disaster happened. If you dare to tell the villagers about the spring water, the mountain god will eat you!"

"The child promised on the surface, but when he returned home, he relented and told everyone about the spring water. As a result, the mountain god was furious and swallowed the child with his mouth!"

"People in the village rebelled angrily and suffered countless casualties. At this time, a goddess passed by and felt the soaring resentment. She killed this monster pretending to be a mountain god. When she saw the innocent and injured villagers before leaving, she shed a tear in sadness. The top of the mountain turned into a lake, and the barren mountain has since turned into a green hill with rich products, which has fed for several generations, and finally changed its name to Jinshan.”

After Shi Yunchen listened to the story, he put away his folding fan, "Amazing, amazing, Lu Xiucai's storytelling ability is probably unmatched by storytellers in the city."

Qin Feng madly agreed in his heart, if he hadn't made up Goddess Tears himself, he would have believed it, and his admiration for Lu Xiuyuan was even more spontaneous.

"Master Shi has won the prize."

Lu Xiuyuan was actually a little embarrassed. There was always the illusion that the guide would join forces with the locals to fool the traveling friends from other places.

Fortunately, the other party didn't delve into it, and instead suggested: "Let's go, let's go to the Goddess Lake first."

Um?Qin Feng was stunned for a moment before realizing that the Goddess Lake mentioned by the young master should be Shanding Lake, and he was busy leading the way enthusiastically.

"Okay, little son, Goddess Lake is going this way~"

Although it was the end of autumn, the noon sun was still fierce. According to the original plan, Shi Yunchen wanted to climb to the top of the mountain in one go to see if there was really a lake on the top of the mountain.

But he couldn't support his physical strength. After walking for an hour, he could only stop and let the two guards find some food nearby.

Qin Feng thought for a while and said: "I remember that there are pools dug near here, why don't you go there to rest?"

Shi Yunchen nodded in agreement, and asked the two guards to come to the pool for a round later.

Lu Xiuyuan was already sweating from the heat, unlike Shi Yunchen who had a folding fan to fan the wind, he could only use his soaked cuffs to wipe his forehead over and over again.

In contrast, Qin Feng was much more open-minded. As soon as they came near the pool, they immediately took off their shirts, dived into the water, and called Lu Xiuyuan to come in to cool off.

Shi Yunchen was caught off guard when he saw the dark chest of the other party, and his face turned red with anger, as expected of a barbarian in the mountains!I couldn't help but spit!

Lu Xiuyuan shook his head and rejected Qin Feng's proposal. He looked at the standard eight-pack abs on his waist, clicked his tongue secretly, and secretly touched his lower abdomen. He didn't know when he would be able to practice it.

Looking back, he saw Shi Yunchen's face was red and he was not in a good mood, thinking that he was also envious of Qin Feng's abs.

After all, Young Master Shi has a slender waist and long legs. Even if he has strange strength, it is impossible to have such a thing as abdominal muscles, so he comforted him: "Actually, his abdominal muscles are not good, and they are too disjointed."

Shi Yunchen couldn't help but gave him a blank look, not wanting to talk about this kind of topic.

Seeing that the other party seemed unhappy, he continued to pat his stomach.

"Abdominal muscles like ours are the best and the most united. After all, unity is strength."

Lu Xiucai will really find reasons for himself.

He couldn't hold back, "You talk about your unity, so can you beat Qin Orion?"

Seeing that the other party finally responded, Lu Xiuyuan breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm not convinced when you say that. If we compete, I only need five seconds to make him kneel down and beg me."

Shi Yunchen expressed serious doubts about this, "Please what?"

"Please don't die!" He said with a very proud look.

Shi Yunchen almost laughed out loud, this Lu Xiucai had some weird things in his head.

But he had to admit that he was attracted by this talent, the other party was really lively, like a story book that could not be read, even more interesting than all the story books he had read before.

If you have such a person by your side every day, you must have a very happy life.
