A man emerged from the Mo family's team, walked straight up to Wu Jin, thanked him in a low voice, then ducked behind Wu Jin like a fish swimming around, and asked Wu Jin to go ahead without worries.
At this time, Mo Lingfeng also untied the rope around his waist and walked away with his brother.
Wu Jin hesitated for a moment, then took off the brown rope from his wrist and walked forward. This time there was someone behind him, so his steps became unsteady.
After walking not far, his feet suddenly slipped and he hit the railing. With a "click", the rotten railing broke instantly, and he fell straight into the deafening stream.
One hand firmly grasped Wu Jin's arm, lifted him up effortlessly, and inserted him back into the muddy path like a green onion.
In an instant, Wu Jin's muscles were weak and his soul was weak. His heart stagnated in his chest for a moment. When his legs fell to the ground, his heart was beating wildly in his chest again, almost popping out of his mouth.
The exclamation was swallowed back from his throat.
He was panic-stricken, his face was red, and he was sweating profusely. He looked straight ahead, but found that such a big movement did not disturb the two brothers and sisters in front of him.
The short distance became a natural chasm, separating him and Mo Lingfeng into two insurmountable worlds.
The blood that rushed to his head and face due to fright suddenly faded away, Wu Jin turned around and thanked him, raised his lead-like hands and feet, and walked forward.
After leaving the Xiongshi Gorge, there was a smooth road. Halfway through Haishi, the Mo family's horse team arrived in front of the Mo family's gate.
Wu Jin took a quick look on the horse and saw two big red lanterns hanging in the corridor, with a gold-lettered plaque on them, which read "Kuanzhou Guards Jinglue Jiedu Ambassador".
Go out and stand outside with your hands down.
The Mo brothers and sisters got off their horses, stepped onto the stone steps, and stepped under the shadow of the plaque. The door quickly swallowed the two of them inside.
The person riding with Wu Jin turned around and said, "Where do you live, little brother? I'll take you to your home."
Wu Jin told him where he lived, and the man sent him to Shishi Street. There were piles of debris on both sides of the street, and fatter people had to pass sideways, and even horses couldn't even think of passing by.
People on Shishi Street probably never thought that one day horses would be able to pass on this street.
He dismounted his horse at the street corner and ran all the way home. His family was worried, and Wu's mother even went out of the city to wait for a while. When he came back, the three of them immediately seemed to have taken the reassurance of "Li Yitie", and even the two
I also forgot to ask about the whereabouts of the basket and just went to make ginger soup.
Wu Jin changed out of his wet clothes, wiped his hair half dry, and drank a bowl of spicy ginger soup. When he sat down by the bed, he was so tired that he couldn't even move his fingers.
The younger brother Wu Yi spread out the quilt: "Brother, I will sleep on this end to warm your feet."
After saying that, he yawned loudly, got into the quilt and closed his eyes. After a few breaths, he started snoring.
Wu Jin also seemed to have melted wax, and his body was dripping down. He gritted his teeth and stood up, walked to the table, cut out a large lantern, rubbed ink and laid paper.
The headmaster of the academy mentioned "daily records" when they entered school. One day's things, one day's achievements, and one day's warnings can be written down on paper and pen, which can strengthen the heart and persevere.
"On February 19th of the 20th year of Yuanzhang, I went to Xiongshan Temple to settle my father's ICBC, and met a valuable person again. It was like the wind that shook the Bodhisattva and the closed door of the Buddhist temple, but it was invisible.
It is unlucky to draw the Guanyin lotus, and it is also unlucky to encounter a sudden rain. If you are lucky enough to hear a piece of Xun, it will be unforgettable in your life."
After writing, he meditated for a moment and silently wrote the lottery he had drawn: "I was playing in the Bibo Pond, surrounded by nets on all sides; I couldn't think of a way out, and I was destined to be miserable and miserable at Quanguan."
Although the rain was heavy, the music was unpleasant, and he was frightened on the road, fortunately, there was no danger and the cold did not come to his door. Wu Jin continued to work on his studies and selling cakes.
After more than half a month of this, the weather improved a lot, and the lecturer led a group of students out of the city to see the scenery.
As soon as he left the state school, Cheng Ting, who didn't like to study, started to show his authority. He knew the many horse farms outside the city very well. He showed off his face with several red pimples and boasted about himself. He also disparaged Wu Jin for not knowing poetry and not knowing how to ride a horse. shoot.
When they arrived at the water meadow where the horses and oxen met, Cheng Ting was already thirsty and his voice was loud and hoarse. He was yelling for Wu Jin to get him water. Another group of elegant and noble students swarmed over and called Cheng Ting with a smile. Ting.
Cheng Ting's face fell instantly.
It turns out that there is another "Tunan Academy" in Kuanzhou, which admits the best and pays a lot of money for studying. Cheng Ting and others who can afford it can't get into it, and Wu Jin can't get into it and can't afford it. The two academies are at odds with each other. It's been a long time, but I didn't expect that everyone would come to see the grass today.
"Hey, Cheng San, Wu Jin, when did you two become so close to each other?"
A young man surnamed Wang, whose family background is similar to that of Cheng Ting, joked loudly: "Both of them can't rhyme together, so of course they have an unusual relationship!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Ting's face turned red with anger, and the red envelopes on his face were about to come out: "Wang Wugui, who are you? You are worthy of Wu Jin. Apart from essays, how can you compare to him?" !Your studies are just sitting on his butt all day long!"
"He sells cakes and settles accounts. He is not good at arithmetic and loses his crotch!"
"There are so many people selling cakes on the street, how come there is only one Wu Jin? Just admit it, you read day and night until your head is bald, but you are no better than a cake seller, you idiot!"
"Better than you!"
"I'm smart. If I were willing to study, I would have beaten you long ago. I think that old yellow dog in our academy is smarter than you."
"You are so smart that if you hook up with a cake seller, sooner or later you will only be as successful as selling cakes."
Wang and Cheng went back and forth, and Cheng Ting won a great victory. Young Master Wang turned pale with anger, swung his arms, aimed at Cheng Ting, and hit Cheng Ting on the head.
Before his hand touched Cheng Ting, Wu Jin, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stretched out his hand, slapped Young Master Wang on the face, and pushed Young Master Wang four or five steps away.
Before Young Master Wang could stand firm, Wu Jin put on his clothes and saluted everyone in Tunan Academy: "The sage said, 'Wealth and honor can be sought after, even if I am a whip-wielding man, I will do it.' No matter if I am selling cakes or Holding a whip for others is in line with the Dao, so why not do it?"
He was so magnanimous that people were left speechless.
The classmates spoke up one after another and acted as peacemakers. Young Master Wang wanted to slap Wu Jin back, but when he saw the instructor and Taoist priest came together, he had to retract his slap in anger and go to listen to the instruction.
After the lecturer presented the topic, the group of students dispersed in droves, scattered in the haystacks like cattle and sheep.
Cheng Ting dragged Wu Jin and three followers and ran straight to the "Shangyang Horse Garden" to rent some good horses for galloping.
As we approached the horse farm, the smell of horse manure hit our nostrils. The horse breeder, Xi Guan, beamed when he saw Cheng Ting. He took out several tags for Cheng Ting to choose from, with the origins of several good horses written on them.
Cheng Ting looked at it for a long time, then suddenly put a sign in front of Wu Jin: "You have done a good job in escorting me today. I invite you. If you shirk, be careful if I get angry, I will -"
He remembered that Wu Jin could push Wang Wugui so far with a slap, and that he was so thin that he might not be able to beat him, so he changed his words: "I won't get along with you."
