The daily routine of the ancient imperial examination

Lu Xiuyuan slept for a long time this time, and the time came directly to Shen Shi.

He stood up and walked out of the narrow passage to look around. Except for the dense forest and the muddy river, there were still only the two of them around.

After rubbing his hungry stomach, Lu Xiuyuan planned to eat something before walking along the river. As long as he walked along the water, he would definitely see people.

He returned to the place just now and sat down cross-legged.

He took out the only remaining steamed bun from his bosom, and pinched the two sides to the middle with his fingers, trying to make the steamed bun puff up so that it would look bigger.

Lu Xiuyuan's actions made the person on the opposite side swallow his saliva involuntarily, looking at the steamed bun in his hand, his eyes were full of longing.

Noticing the other party's reaction from the corner of his eye, he simply split the steamed bun from the middle and handed over half of it: "Your share, eat it."

The man who claimed to be the third brother saw the half of the steamed bun and quickly pushed it back: "The third brother is not hungry, you should eat it, Brother Yuan!"

After speaking, my stomach growled for a long time.

Lu Xiuyuan couldn't hold back his snort, why is this person so stupid?

It has been a day and a night since the other party fainted, not to mention how long he was unconscious when he didn't find this person before.

"I'll eat it for you, you just eat it, what are you talking about so much?" He made a serious face on purpose.

The man stared anxiously at Lu Xiuyuan for a while, and finally he was so hungry that he took half of the steamed bun and sat there to eat.

Seeing that the other party finally moved, Lu Xiuyuan also took the remaining piece and ate it.

Take a bite and chew thirty times.

By eating slowly, you can paralyze your brain and make your body feel that you have eaten a lot.

I'm a little glad that what I'm eating now is steamed buns, which are high in sugar and can provide him with a lot of calories, which is enough for their activities this afternoon.

After dinner, Lu Xiuyuan greeted the man and prepared to leave.

The strong man shook his head, squatting on the spot without moving.

He also squatted down, and asked a little puzzled, "Why didn't you leave all of a sudden?"

Unexpectedly, the other party pouted like a child and complained: "Brother Yuan, you haven't called my third brother since you woke up. Do you blame third brother for not protecting you well?"

"Ah?" Lu Xiuyuan hesitated for a while, wondering if he should tell the truth.

The other party suddenly tugged on his sleeve, looked at him eagerly and tentatively said: "Third Brother knows he was wrong, can Brother Yuan give Third Brother a chance to make up for it? This time Third Brother will definitely protect you!"

Seeing the deep guilt in the opponent's eyes, Lu Xiuyuan was taken aback for a moment.

He didn't know where this person's real brother was, but he couldn't bear to see the other party's fragile expression.

"Ahem." He cleared his throat, "Time is running out, third brother, let's go first."

When the other party heard this address, his eyes lit up. He was obviously a strong man, but he jumped up and down like a child, dancing around.

Seeing this reaction, Lu Xiuyuan couldn't help laughing: "Okay, third brother, let's stop making trouble, we have to hurry up and see if we can find a place to live before dark."

"Yeah!" The other party nodded with a squinted smile.

Having someone to accompany him on the journey made Lu Xiuyuan feel more relaxed.

As for the big man like the third brother, if he meets other refugees on the road, now he has to be replaced by someone else to worry about whether they will rob him.

They were walking along the river now, and the other party saw some strange stones, flowers, grasses and the like, and they presented them to him like children offering treasures.

"Brother Yuan! Do you think these things are fun? If you like them, the third brother will continue to find them for you!"

Lu Xiuyuan took the stone, dumbfounded: "I like the stone very much, third brother, let's go on our way now, don't mess with these things."

The third brother's expression flashed a trace of disappointment: "Okay then..."

The other party's reaction made him wonder, is the third brother's younger brother quite young?But I am already eighteen, with such a big age difference, it is impossible to admit my mistake?

But now I can only hope that they meet the real brother when they are on their way, or the third brother will take the initiative to remember...

The latter is most likely, but it will take a long time for the blood to be absorbed. During this time, they should act together.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glanced at the person beside him, and the other person noticed the sight and looked over.

"What happened to brother Yuan?"

Under the sharp sword eyebrows, those piercing eyes were staring at Lu Xiuyuan with concern.

He noticed the dry and peeling lips of the other party, so he simply took off the gourd from his waist and handed it over: "Drink some to moisten your throat."

The third brother grinned, took it with a smile, first shook the gourd, and then his smile froze.

Glancing at Lu Xiuyuan's reaction, he licked his lips and stuffed the gourd back.

"Third brother is not thirsty at all, let's save this water for younger brother Yuan to drink."

Lu Xiuyuan looked at the other person's face, he should be very thirsty, but the water was brought to his mouth, but he was humble?

Now that they decided to go together, it would be better to give the water to the third brother who is still a patient, but he persuaded him several times, but the other party just refused to drink it.

In the end, he had no choice but to hope to find the village sooner.

Afterwards, the two stopped chatting, but concentrated on their journey, but for some reason, they had been walking for several hours, but they still didn't see any people.

This made Lu Xiuyuan couldn't help wondering, where did he get washed by the water?

Unhappy until the sun set, he saw that there was probably not much progress today, so he decided to find a place with the third brother to make do for the night.

The two found a large rock wall along the vertical direction of the river, determined where to stay tonight, and set off together to find out if there was anything to eat and firewood to use tonight.

Fortunately, God favored them this time, after they walked for a while, they came across a few wild peach trees, which were full of small green and red peaches.

Seeing this, Lu Xiuyuan hurriedly greeted the third brother. When the other party saw it, he quickly strode over and reached out to pick one, rubbed it on his clothes, and stuffed it into his mouth impatiently.

After chewing a few mouthfuls, Third Brother's face twisted.

"What's wrong? Is it too sour?" he asked.

The other party frowned and nodded, but still ate the remaining half of the peach.

"Although it is very sour, it can also quench your thirst. Brother Yuan, let's pick some and bring them home."

"Okay!" Lu Xiuyuan responded, and the two began to pick peaches on the ground.

Wild peach trees will naturally bear sour and small fruits without pruning branches and peaches.

But it doesn't matter, acid can produce body fluid, in this case, it can be regarded as a good fruit.

The two moved quickly, picking a pile on the ground in a short while, and when they felt that they were almost done, they stopped and carried their clothes back to the previous big rock wall.

Then it was time to find firewood.

After finishing these tasks, it was completely dark, and the two lit up a fire and ate sour peaches.

While eating, the third brother glanced at the peach in his hand, then suddenly bowed his head and remained silent.

Seeing this situation, Lu Xiuyuan was a little puzzled: "What's wrong with the third brother? Did he eat too much and his teeth fell down?"

The other party still bowed his head and did not speak.

He patted Third Brother on the shoulder worriedly: "Are you all right?"

This time the other party finally raised his head, but there were faint tears in his eyes: "Brother Yuan, third brother, I'm sorry for letting you eat this kind of thing... You shouldn't be used to eating peaches that are so sour, right?"

Only then did Lu Xiuyuan understand what the other party was struggling with, so he took the sour peach in his hand and explained to the other party: "It's okay, third brother, I like to eat it very much."

"Really?" The other party asked anxiously.

"It's true!" To prove it, he swallowed the remaining half of the peach.

Now the third brother finally let go of his heart.

The two of them ate about a dozen sour peaches, and if they ate any more, they would probably lose their teeth, so Lu Xiuyuan stopped the third brother's movement.

He took out candy from his breast pocket and gave it to the other party: "After eating those peaches, I almost quenched my thirst. This candy can replenish energy."

The other party took the candy with a flattered expression, and put it in his mouth carefully. After tasting a sweet taste on the tip of his tongue, he looked at Lu Xiuyuan and smiled.

"It turns out that this is the taste of sugar! Brother Yuan is so kind to third brother, and third brother will buy you a lot of candies in the future!"

Hearing this, he couldn't help but smiled: "Okay, don't talk so much, let's rest after eating, and we will continue our journey tomorrow morning."

"Yeah!" The other party nodded, and then walked to the outside of him: "The third brother will guard you outside in a while, protecting you at night!"

"Okay, it's up to you." Lu Xiuyuan was a little helpless, seeing that this was still a super brother-in-law.

But seeing the other party like this, he also thought of his elder brother, their side was flooded, so the hometown should be fine...

When you arrive in town, you must write a letter to ask your family as soon as possible.

Afterwards, the two of them had a good division of labor, Lu Xiuyuan went to bed in the middle of the night, and the other party went to bed in the middle of the night. Although the third brother strongly asked to keep watch all night, he still refused with righteous words.

Lying on the ground inside, Lu Xiuyuan slept a little restlessly.

His eyelids fluttered rapidly, and he began to dream again, and they were still dreams of strange lights and shadows.

His consciousness is trapped in a dream and cannot escape,

Until a wolf howled in the distant woods, Lu Xiuyuan's body trembled, and he opened his eyes suddenly.

He sat up and looked around cautiously.

The third brother who was guarding the fire next to him saw his movement, came over and patted him on the shoulder lightly: "Brother Yuan, don't be afraid, the wolf is far away from us, with the third brother here, the third brother will protect you. "

Lu Xiuyuan turned his head and glanced at the other party. For some reason, the other party's words gave him a great sense of security, and his tense nerves relaxed again because of these words.

"Brother Yuan, go back to sleep. You can rest assured that the third brother is watching over you." The other party patted him on the shoulder, coaxing him to continue sleeping.

Lu Xiuyuan followed the opponent's strength and lay down again.

This time, it may be confirmed that someone is guarding him. Even when he heard the wolf howling, he was no longer nervous. After closing his eyes, he soon fell into a deep sleep.
