When Song Mu heard the sound, he immediately stood up and walked towards Tao Fengming with concern.
"Master!"
Song Mu shouted immediately, Tao Fengming murmured a few more words, and a lot of sweat suddenly appeared on his face. Song Mu stood up quickly, but Fu Zefeng grabbed Song Mu and spoke immediately.
"I'll go find the military doctor, you stay here."
Song Mu nodded gratefully. At this time, he quickly walked to the nearby wooden basin, twisted a towel over, and wiped the sweat from Tao Fengming's forehead.
After Tao Fengming finished speaking those few words and beads of sweat broke out on his forehead, he slowly woke up.
As soon as Tao Fengming opened his eyes, he saw Song Mu with a concerned look on his face.
"Master, how are you?"
Song Mu saw that Tao Fengming had regained consciousness and looked very happy. He quickly asked, but Tao Fengming didn't speak, he just glanced around and then got up.
Song Mu quickly stopped him and said with concern.
"Master, you have been unconscious for the past few days. Are you feeling well now?"
Tao Fengming let out a breath, lay down and felt it quietly, then nodded slightly.
"It's okay now, Jing Zhao, thank you for your hard work."
Tao Fengming had also seen Song Mu's tired look, and obviously knew that Song Mu would have to stay in front of the bed these days, which was really hard.
Song Mu shook his head, feeling a little moved at this moment.
"Teacher, why do you have to say this? Since you were sick, you shouldn't have led us out in the first place."
Tao Fengming blinked slowly, with a somewhat calm expression.
"It has nothing to do with that matter. It's because I was impulsive."
When Song Mu saw this, he wanted to ask him what caused him to be like this, but seeing Tao Fengming's weak look, he immediately shut up.
Soon Dr. Cao hurried over, and many students from Jizhou Prefecture School also heard that Mr. Fengming had woken up, and they also came upstairs one after another.
The military doctor checked Tao Fengming's pulse with a calm look on his face.
"Sir, he has almost recovered. If you take medicine for a few more days and then go out for a walk, there should be no problem."
"But remember that from now on, we can no longer encourage Wenli indiscriminately."
Song Mu sent Doctor Cao off with great gratitude, then looked back at Tao Fengming.
Shang Zuliang and several senior officials were gathered nearby. They only said a few words each and then left Tao Fengming to rest.
When all these people left, only Song Mu and Tao Fengming were left. Song Mu helped give Tao Fengming another dose of medicine, and then sat beside him and read a book.
"What are you reading now?"
"Several strategies to solve problems."
Song Mu opened his mouth and Tao Fengming lay on the bed, nodding slightly.
"I'm afraid it's still a little difficult for you to read this kind of book now, right?"
"A scholar should first study the Four Books and Five Classics, then the Six Arts, and then study craftsmanship, poetry, and policy theory."
Tao Fengming spoke slowly at this moment, as if he thought of something again, then turned his head to look at Song Mu, and said dumbly.
"Is it possible that you want to take the provincial examination next year?"
After Song Mu heard this, he put down the book in his hand and looked up at Tao Fengming with a hint of surprise on his face.
When Tao Fengming saw this, his expression was a bit surprised.
After a while, he seemed to be relieved again. He looked up at the roof of the house and said softly.
"Forget it, the literary power in your body is also very abundant now. It would be great to give it a try."
When Song Mu heard this, he looked a little yearning.
This was indeed a decision that Song Mu only made in the past two days.
Perhaps it was because of Tao Fengming's current situation that it stimulated Song Mu to work harder to improve his strength, and this hunting trip also made Song Mu have a deeper desire for strength.
Although he is now a scholar, he always seems to feel a bit struggling when facing various situations.
This gave Song Mu a sense of crisis and made him want to improve himself faster.
"Teacher, do you think I can do it?"
Song Mu suddenly spoke at this time, asking for Tao Fengming's opinion. Tao Fengming turned his head after hearing this, and the eyes of the master and the disciple immediately met.
Immediately, Tao Fengming seemed to have something in mind and said in a light tone.
"You can go hunting with me tomorrow."
Song Mu looked up, looking puzzled.
"Although this world is said to be a world of literati, it is still a world of strength."
"The way to benefit is to keep pace with the times. You already have a goal, so you should understand what needs to be done."
When Song Mu heard these words, he lowered his head and thought deeply, but soon he opened his eyes, and then looked at Tao Fengming, showing some excitement.
"Okay Master, I understand."
Tao Fengming blinked and seemed a little weak at the moment, so he nodded, closed his eyes and continued to rest.
Song Mu watched Tao Fengming fall asleep again, then he put away his books and got up and walked out.
Going downstairs softly, Song Mu felt much calmer at the moment.
Perhaps it was because Tao Fengming's condition had improved that Song Mu felt that the stone in his heart had completely fallen to the ground. At this moment, his mind was finally clear and he could think of other things.
Coming downstairs, there are already many students walking around in the whole village at the moment. The location of Jizhou Prefecture School is in the southeast corner of the village, and the house where Song Mu is located is located on the high ground of this small hill. Standing here at this moment, it can be said that
See your surroundings clearly.
With the sun shining directly above his head, it was still warm in Guangdong in late autumn, and Song Mu stretched out happily.
But at this moment, there was a subtle smell coming from my body.
Song Mu frowned. He had been undressed for the past few days and seemed to be smelly.
With Song Mu thinking like this, he was going to fetch water to wash up and boil a pot of water for the master. After these few days, even if the master was sloppy on weekdays, he probably wanted to clean himself up.
So Song Mu walked towards a place downhill next to it. There was a kitchen, and several students were carrying firewood there at the moment.
Song Mu was walking over there when he suddenly heard someone talking not far away.
"You said that Song Mu is hiding in this wooden building?"
A high-pitched voice sounded, and then someone followed.
"Of course, Lao Chu. After that guy came to the station, he used the excuse of master's illness to hide away every day. It has been several days now and he has not come out."
"Something probably happened to them today. I saw them all surrounding the building. That guy must be inside."
The high-pitched voice sounded again at this moment, even with a hint of joking.
"That's good. I'm still worried that I don't have a place to find this guy."
When Song Mu heard these words, he looked over there and saw several people walking down the hillside towards the wooden building where he had just come down.
Song Mu immediately frowned, thinking that his master was resting, so he hurriedly walked up.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Song Mu said from a distance as he walked, and as expected, those three people all looked over, and Song Mu could clearly see their appearance.
The three of them were all wearing cyan robes, and their hair was tied with cyan ribbons. They were obviously dressed like other students. The leader was a tall, thin guy with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, who was turning his head to look at Song Mu.
"and who are you?"
The man spoke. Song Mu glanced at the three people, then stood with his hands lowered and said in a deep voice.
"Studying Song Mu in Xiajizhou Prefecture, he is the person you are looking for."
