In the blink of an eye, another half-moon passed, hanging in the sky, the bright sun was suddenly swallowed up by the shadow, and the whole world became dark.
It's a total solar eclipse!
The students in Xujiazhuang shouted in surprise.
However, all the busy villagers in Zhuangzi knelt down and begged the gods for mercy.
It wasn't until Mrs. Wang shouted loudly that everyone woke up as if from a dream. Afterwards, they thought, they had learned this in school!
This is not a punishment from the gods, but a solar eclipse caused by the rotation of the sun and the moon.
Although this natural phenomenon is rare, it always happens every once in a while. If you keep observing it, you can accurately calculate when the solar eclipse will appear after mastering the rules.
With this thought, the villagers slowly stood up from the ground. The entire villagers in Xujiazhuang all raised their heads and quietly observed this rare solar eclipse phenomenon.
Cui Yuan and Guang Luhai were still a little flustered, but they did not want to miss such an opportunity. They led the students to carefully observe the solar eclipse in the open space outside the school, and even left an after-school homework of their reflections on the solar eclipse.
But outside Xujiazhuang, various rumors of heavenly punishment had spread. Gongsun Zan increasingly felt that something bad was about to happen, and stepped up his efforts to urge his subordinates to increase grain taxes.
Not only him, but also the princes and warlords in various places reacted even more violently, setting up forums to drive away bad luck and seek peace.
At the beginning of October, the sky was overcast with clouds, and snowflakes were flying one after another. The cold air arrived, freezing all the unsuspecting college students to the cold.
Seeing this situation, the dean knew that the class was not going to be successful, so he dismissed the students and asked them to go to their respective homes.
The happiest thing about having an early vacation is that Xu Dalang no longer has to get up early every day to listen to those nonsense.
Xu Yue is also in a good mood. She misses the hot bathhouse, floor heating, and the food in the cafeteria very much now!
Only Xu Erniang felt a little depressed.
The academy was on holiday, which meant that she and Mr. Zhao would not be able to meet until next spring.
These were three long months, and she didn't know if the frail Mr. Zhao could survive this winter.
Looking at Xu Yue happily packing her luggage with Xu Dalang, Xu Erniang once again shook Xu Yue and asked her to give the medicine.
Mr. Zhao's illness is obviously tuberculosis, but he has a strong family background and good food and drink, so he is in this fragile state now.
If it were a poor family, the body would have been completely destroyed and the person would have been buried.
Xu Yue still refused, and this time she had a legitimate reason.
"Sister, we don't even know who he is, how dare we give him medicine?" Xu Yue said seriously with a rare little face.
Mr. Zhao and his sister now often stay together to bend bows and shoot arrows. She occasionally accompanies them. Although they are not as familiar as their friends, they still go back and forth, and they can be regarded as classmates who often play together.
Seeing her classmate suffering from illness, she naturally wanted to help him relieve his pain.
And she did do this, but the medicine she gave him was of a painless and non-itchy kind. It wasn't completely effective, but it wasn't a defeat, and it could also give him a little more energy.
To do this to someone whose identity you don't even know is extremely benevolent and righteous.
Besides, he wasn't even her sister's boyfriend now. The two of them were just him escaping from her pursuit and unable to fly. Why should she give him the precious medicine?
The most important thing is, why is he ignoring her sister?
There was no one in the Xu family who didn't care. Xu Yue didn't want to be okay. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She couldn't help but let out a loud "Humph!"
Valley vine
Thinking again of Mr. Zhao's melancholy eyes, which seemed to hold countless melancholy in his heart, she felt that this man's life experience was not simple.
With such a heavy mind and such a melancholy personality, as if he is carrying something unbearable, Mr. Zhao is like a black hole that constantly absorbs all the light around him, but can never illuminate him.
Even if the sunshine on my sister's body is endless, if she encounters such a black hole, she will feel tired soon.
Looking at her angry sister, Xu Erniang could only sigh helplessly, hugged her from behind, and rubbed her until she was coaxed, and then let go.
After that, he never mentioned getting medicine for Young Master Zhao again.
But this did not prevent her from sending various enchanted supplies to Mr. Zhao before the holiday.
At least we have to keep him alive until next year to see her, right?
Xu Erniang spread her hands helplessly and distressed, said goodbye to Mr. Zhao and other classmates, and left the academy on horseback with her brother and sister.
A thin layer of white snow has fallen on the ground. The three brothers and sisters are all wearing enchanted cloaks and cashmere hats of the same style on their heads. In addition, they have practiced physical skills and internal skills, so the cold snow has no effect at all.
The speed of three people.
The horse galloped on the wide road, and suddenly, several figures appeared on the road ahead.
Two of them seemed to have heard the sound of their horses' hooves a long time ago. As soon as they saw the three brothers and sisters appearing, they immediately rushed forward, stretched out their arms, and made a stop motion.
"Are there any bandits that have been missed by Grandma?" Xu Dalang said doubtfully, his eyes suddenly becoming excited.
Xu Erniang also shouted to Xu Yue: "Weapons, weapons, take out the weapons!" Finally she was able to fight!
It was inconvenient to ride a horse, and the weapons of the three brothers and sisters were stored in Xu Yue's research room. Upon hearing this, Xu Yue immediately took out his brother's horizontal sword, his sister's small sword, and his own crossbow.
The horses galloped forward. The three brothers and sisters did not slow down in speed, but quietly changed their formation.
Xu Dalang took the middle position with his sword in hand. Xu Erniang was behind him on the left, drawing her sword and preparing to cover the left wing. Xu Yue fell to the back, riding a horse with one hand and setting up a crossbow with the other, responsible for covering.
However, just when the distance between the two sides was less than fifty meters, and Xu Yue, who was responsible for covering, was about to fire his bow, the shouts of the two people blocking the way came first.
"I would also like to ask you three to lend me a horse! We are willing to exchange it for fifty taels of gold!"
The one shouting was the red-faced and bearded one of the two. His voice was like a bell, making people's heads buzz.
They couldn't see clearly when they were far away, but when they got closer, the three brothers and sisters realized that this man was still holding a knife in his hand, carrying arrows on his back, wearing military armor, and was tall, nearly 1.9 meters tall.
However, the armor was in tatters and the clothes underneath looked like they hadn't been washed for a long time. They were really in a sorry state.
But even in such a state of embarrassment, this armor is still very intimidating to most of the unarmed poor bandits.
It seems that these two people are not rogue bandits.
The three brothers and sisters looked at each other, put down their weapons in disappointment, and stopped ten steps away from the two of them.
Xu Dalang shouted and asked: "Who are you?"
He saw that the two men were dressed in rags, and they didn't look like they could give fifty taels of gold in exchange for horses.
Xu Erniang did not miss the cunning flash in the red-faced and bearded eyes. She reasonably suspected that these two people wanted to steal the horse.
Next to the red-faced and bearded man, a handsome young man with a white face and a handsome face, whose grace remained undiminished even though he was described as embarrassed, replied:
