Brother, did you confess today?

The scholar was dressed thinly, and there were patches on his clothes, his facial features were fairly handsome, but he was covered with a few spots of black mud, which looked a little funny.

He also noticed his embarrassment, the more he tried to clean it, the dirtier it became, and he turned his face into a cat in a short while.

Xu Xiangfei lowered his head and found a handkerchief for him, and sat by the back door together: "Why don't you go in and read?"

The scholar thanked me and then smiled: "The county magistrate was kind enough to let me study for nothing for five years... Now it's no longer possible."

When he goes in, he needs to practice and learn from a teacher.

But it is difficult for him to survive, how can he find Shu Xiu?

The scholar thanked Zhu Xuguang again: "Thank you so much, young man. If it wasn't for young man, I'm afraid I'd have to lie down at home for a few more days."

Zhu Xuguang shook his head: "If you have little strength, you won't be embarrassing yourself by doing other things."

The scholar showed embarrassment on his face, the black mud on his hand was dry, so he would not stain the book, he put the book away and smiled wryly: "I also want to do other things...but I don't have a reputation. It’s not my turn to enlighten my children, there are no bookstores in the county, and copying books doesn’t make any money…”

After thinking about it, he can only make a living by digging other people's mud and selling it to fishermen.

There is no one in the scholar's family. Although he is an adult, few people are willing to hire him for such a brat.

But he wanted to study, even if he studied for too long and had to leave the academy to make a living, he would still come to the back door to listen, and occasionally he was lucky enough to sneak in to listen to the teacher's lecture.

It's not that there are no husbands who want to take him in, but his family is poor, so even if he doesn't go out, he has to find a way to survive.

Although he is thin, his eyes are indeed very big. If you look closely, you still have the eyebrows and eyes of a foreigner. The eye sockets are a bit deep, and the bridge of the nose is also straight.

Even his small face is sallow, and there is no blood, but he is nestled here, his eyes are full of longing for the academy, it is really unbearable to see.

Xu Xiangfei thought for a while: "I have a younger brother in my family, who is younger than you, and now he also goes to Jiangnan to study."

The scholar blinked, yearning for Jiangnan very much, but when he heard the academy bell, he left immediately, urging Xu Xiangfei to go with him.

He obviously had a good impression of Zhu Xuguang who had helped him, he jumped up and down, and asked them if they wanted some steamed buns.

Xu Xiangfei couldn't bear to let him buy it, so he gently pushed Zhu Xuguang.

Zhu Xuguang went forward and bought three steamed buns, one for each person.

The steamed buns were steaming hot, which made the scholar feel extremely embarrassed, and even said that they were good people.

He was obviously older than Xu Xiangfei and the others, but he was careful in every move, and he was careful on the road, otherwise he would run into them.

Xu Xiangfei and Xu Xiangfei looked like foreigners, and they were dressed in clothes he had never seen before. The scholar was afraid that he would get dirty.

However, although the scholar speaks carefully, he talks a lot. As he walked, he began to fantasize: "I heard that a living fairy came to the main street today! I really want to figure out whether I can take the imperial examination one day."

Xu Xiangfei smiled when he heard the words: "The imperial examination has been intermittent, but it has almost recovered in the past few years. You can definitely go."

"No, no, I can't leave Longzhou County." The scholar shook his head, "I just want to figure out whether there is such a chance."

"Can't leave?" Xu Xiangfei pondered for a while, "Actually..."

The scholar knew what he was thinking at a glance, and immediately shook his head with a smile: "The poor family background is indeed one of the reasons, but it is my father's idea that I stay in the county, and I have to wait for my father's consent."

"But my father passed away a few years ago, so I just waited for this opportunity."

"This……"

Xu Xiangfei and Zhu Xuguang looked at each other, both of them were a little confused.

They really didn't figure out the key to this, but it's not good to inquire about other people's life experience, so Xu Xiangfei bought another steamed bun for the scholar: "In this case, I can only wish you your wish come true."

"Thank you, brother!" The scholar smiled happily, "You are really the gentleman mentioned in the book!"

Xu Xiangfei: "..."

This is really not the case.

……

For this very enthusiastic scholar, Xu Xiangfei finally bought vegetables for him to take back.

The scholar did not refuse, and left happily.

When he saw that the person was gone, the vegetable vendor shook his head: "Are you guys from other places? Damn, that bastard likes to lie to people from other places."

"cheat?"

Xu Xiangfei looked over, "What do you mean by cheating?"

The peddler sneered, picked up a piece of meat and chewed it in his mouth: "That's a guy who is stupid at reading. He's crazy at such an age. He insists on squatting behind the academy. If he is really self-motivated, why? Why don’t you leave here to take the imperial examination? He just can’t support the wall with mud, and he cheats those kind-hearted people all day long. Look, you bought him something, did he say no?”

... not really.

The peddler said, "This trick has been around for six or seven years. Since he was studying in the academy, he has been eating and drinking. He sees people all day long and calls them his benefactors. He doesn't hesitate to pester him and say he is pitiful."

"People nowadays are easy to deceive, just like you, didn't you fall for the trick of this foolish scholar?"

"But I think he really wants to study, maybe it's just something unspeakable."

"Unspeakable secret?" The peddler laughed loudly, "If there is any unspeakable secret, it has been so many years, is it still difficult? You must know that the fisherman bought it with good intentions and gave him some wages, otherwise, who would want to buy that stuff? Son?"

The black mud is there, so you can just dig it yourself. The scholar is not strong, so he still goes back to the capital. He is weak, and the fishermen are too embarrassed to snatch it from him, so they have to buy it from him in the end.

The fisherman thought he was pitiful, so he gave him a few pennies. He thought that if he couldn't do a good job, he wouldn't be able to do it.

Not many people in the county think highly of him.

The peddler was very sympathetic to Xu Xiangfei: "In the future, if you see him, stay away from him, or you can beat him up. The child of that family was entangled by him before, so he just beat him up."

Xu Xiangfei: "..."

It's hard to say, the mood is very complicated.

But he doesn't have much ill feeling towards that scholar, it's quite interesting to listen to it as an anecdote.

After returning to the inn, Xu Xiangfei and Zhu Xuguang realized that the scholar is really quite famous in this area.

Originally, they just said a few words to Han Deyu, but the waiter who served the food couldn't help but interject when he heard it: "Oh, sir, to tell you the truth, I was also deceived by him when I came here."

The man came from the north of Liangzhou, where there were frequent wars, and he came to Longzhou County only to make a living.

As a result, not long after I came, I saw a miserable scholar, probably because of the same illness, and the guy even rented his house for a while.

But the scholar kept saying that his house was very clean and the environment was pleasant. When he got to the assistant, he found out that the place was full of black mud. There were only two rooms, and one of them had the spiritual tablet of the scholar's father.

The guy knew he was being cheated, so he moved away after a while, but during that time, the scholar saw him eating and wanted to come over to have a look.

You can't just look at it, the buddy can only give him a little bit, but the scholar also eats a lot, and he can't afford it, so the two broke up unhappy.

"It was only later that I found out that this scholar is a lunatic full of nonsense."

The clerk shook his head: "Did he tell the guest officer what opportunity he had to wait for before he could take the exam? It's all a lie! I knew it a long time ago! His family is completely empty, so there is no chance! He just wants to eat and drink on purpose! "

"And he said that there is no work in the county, it's a lie! It's just that his reputation is too bad and no one wants him!"

"Yo." Han Deyu saw that the guy was really angry, and couldn't help being curious, "I don't see this kind of person very often in my life."

After the clerk finished scolding, he left after serving the food. Before he left, he told them not to sympathize with the scholar.

Looking at that appearance, he really hated the scholar.

Xu Xiangfei rubbed his chin, recalling the desire that flashed in the scholar's eyes when he looked at the academy.

Always feel very emotional.

But they didn't think much about it, and Han Deyu just said after being curious: "But it doesn't matter, don't take it to heart, there are all kinds of strange things in the world, this scholar... just doesn't know how to adapt."

If you cheat people, go to several places to cheat!

Which consummate liar is going to grab the wool of one place!

I don't know!

"...Maybe he didn't lie." Xu Xiangfei thought for a moment, "If you don't leave here, maybe you are really waiting for something."

Zhu Xuguang also nodded: "Looking at his appearance, it's not that he doesn't know what people here think of him."

Just have to stay here.

But no matter what the origin of this strange scholar who was scolded by the whole county is, it's not their business.

As expected, Han Deyu sent a letter to Northwest, wanting to ask his friends over there if there was any news about Mr. Dongfeng, but he was not optimistic either.

"You must know that when I was looking for a doctor for Yanzi, I had already asked. I didn't find anyone in the southeast, north, and west? It's impossible to find someone with the surname Yu just like that, right?"

Even in Liangzhou, it is difficult to find someone, let alone the vast and remote west, which is still Beiyuan's territory.

And it was precisely because he couldn't find Mr. Dongfeng that Han Deyu brought them to Hui Xiang Xiaoting to find Yu Langzhong.

In the end, after going around for a while, I still had to find Mr. Dongfeng.

"That's lack of foresight. You said two seniors, can't you find a way to contact them? It took ten years to find them. Isn't this a tosser?!"

Xu Xiangfei smiled embarrassedly: "I'm to blame for this."

"What's your fault? It's your fault." Han Deyu hated iron for being weak, and stared at him several times before saying, "Who can blame this?"

But he also thought about it, if he really can't find it, then he will find a way to go to the capital to catch an imperial doctor.

It doesn't matter if the injury can't be cured, at least let Xu Xiangfei live longer like an ordinary person!

He is old, and he doesn't want a white-haired person to give a black-haired person.

There are not many choices in front of them now. Before, it was difficult to find someone, and later, Huailu chased them down. Han Deyu was worried that these people would get together.

Getting together is to teach Huai Lu one knife at a time, without hesitation.

"...It really doesn't work. Yanzi will go back to your uncle first. After I hide your Uncle Lin, I will take this kid to the northwest to find someone."

Lin Yichun was a prisoner of the imperial court, so of course he couldn't go to the south, otherwise it wouldn't be fun if the officers and soldiers came.

Xu Xiangfei didn't speak, turned his head to look at Zhu Xuguang, looked at his master again, and shook his head slowly.

Oh yes.

It was only then that Han Deyu remembered that none of the three in front of him could do anything.

Zhu Xuguang still has a sign of going crazy, and he has to find a way to solve it.

In fact, it is also easy to solve. In Han Deyu's view, as long as the relationship between the brothers and sisters is good, wouldn't it be enough? !

Why are these two boys so entangled?

People are too anxious to see it!

Han Deyu really wanted to hold Xu Xiangfei's head and let him settle the matter quickly.
