I was favored by the evil god, and I became a white-bone bodhisattva.

"Wait, Sister Shan, it seems to be injured."

Indeed, if it is motionless, it may be dead.

"Don't throw it away, don't throw it away. Candy has fallen from the sky before. We have to save it."

"Even if this little thing is not dead, it will only have one breath left. Don't cry if you can't save it."

After handing the turtle to the little girl, Shan Yunhe continued fishing.

.....

Although the crane demon was not optimistic that the little creature could survive, the little turtle actually slowly recovered after being taken back by Tangtang and carefully cared for for a few days.

"Oh, you also know the Qi-gathering technique. You are a tortoise who only inherits it."

Seeing the turtle practicing in the bowl full of water, Shan Yunhe laughed and said.

"The little turtle worked very hard. As soon as his injuries got a little better, he started to practice hard."

After Tangtang put some corn kernels in, she looked at Shan Yunhe and asked, "Sister Shan, could you please take care of the little turtle for a while? Tangtang is going out with her cousin the day after tomorrow."

Ok?

"Where are you going?" Shan Yunhe blurted out.

"Let's go to the county town. The county exam is about to start, so we have to leave a few days in advance."

Tangtang added: "My cousin will come to say goodbye to you tomorrow."

So that’s how it is. No, no, I want to go with you too!

"Tangtang, you should ask Qiaoyun to take care of this little thing. I will go with you."

The girl was naturally happy to have Sister Dan traveling with her, but when she returned to the shabby house and told Li Xingwen what happened, she just kept shaking her head.

"Who would go out to take an exam with a wife? Others would laugh at me to death if they saw me."

"If Tangtang can follow, why can't Sister Shan follow?" the little girl argued.

"Actually, I don't want you to follow me either. Alas, you should be grateful to the person who gave you the favor and be grateful to him."

Li Xingwen muttered a few words, then emphasized: "In short, I can't take Yunhe with me to take the exam. I will talk to her properly tomorrow."

The next day, after Li Xingwen went to Shan Yunhe and explained various reasons to her, the girl finally agreed.

But on the eve of departure, a young man who looked 60% like Shan Yunhe suddenly visited the scholar.

Chapter 031 Absurd Things

The young man claimed to be Shan Yunhe's brother. He heard that his sister was engaged, so he came here to meet his brother-in-law.

Brother-in-law is here?

No, I heard from Yunhe that there are not many people left in her family.

Li Xingwen was confused, but he was still polite to this person.

There is no other reason, the main reason is that this young man looks too much like Shan Yunhe, and the scholar would not believe that they are not related by blood.

"Haha, cousin, you've become an idiot again. How can Sister Shan have any brother? She is Sister Shan!"

Seeing that Li Xingwen was being fooled by Shan Yunhe, the little girl couldn't help but tell the truth.

Is this Yunhe? !

Li Xingwen carefully looked at the smiling young man for a while, but still could not be sure.

"Really? You can't recognize your fiancée after she just disguises herself as a man?"

The tough voice of 'Young Master' softened, and it was indeed Shan Yunhe's voice.

Only then did Li Xingwen slap his forehead and apologize to the girl repeatedly.

"I really didn't recognize you, you acted so well!"

It’s good that it looks like this. If my fiancée can’t come along, my brother-in-law can at least, right?

After Li Xingwen finished apologizing, the girl finally told him her purpose with a smile.

"this......"

Seeing that Li Xingwen did not agree immediately, Shan Yunhe got angry.

"Whether you agree or not, I will follow you wherever you go."

This, this, this...

"Cousin, Sister Shan will play with Tangtang all the way and won't disturb your studies."

After the girl's long persuasion and Shan Yunhe's determination to never give up, the scholar had no choice but to nod his head.

'Alas, how could I do such a ridiculous thing as taking my fiancée to take the exam?'

Li Xingwen sighed. He asked Tangtang and Shan Yunhe to wait in the room for a while while he went out first.

.....

The county where Li Xingwen is located is located in the southeast of Wanli County, Yizhou, and the county seat is located on the northwest side.

The distance is a bit far, so Li Xingwen set off several days earlier than candidates from other counties.

"Mr. Li, aren't we setting off together with your classmates and friends?" Mr. Shan asked, waving his folding fan.

Your voice has changed back to normal, and you still call me Master Li?

Li Xingwen immediately said in a bad mood: "We were supposed to go together, but since my brother-in-law is following us, I can only apologize to a few friends temporarily and go alone."

He didn't dare to bet that no one would discover Shan Yunhe's gender along the way. If he was exposed, he would be too embarrassed to face anyone.

"Haha, it's good to be quiet, right Tangtang?"

"Yes! Brother-in-law is right."

Why do you call me brother-in-law?

Li Xingwen showed a smiling face and took the first step.

The little girl followed the scholar very excitedly. She hadn't traveled for a long time and couldn't wait to go out and see the world.

"Maybe you can find out about the Wu and Shang countries."

With such expectations, Tangtang said loudly: "Let's go~"

The two people traveling together were Tangtang’s cousin who was less than eight years old, and his fiancée who had not yet married into the family.

Li Xingwen thought to himself that as a grown man, he had an obligation to take good care of them.

But...

"Ah sneeze!!!"

After spending a night in the dilapidated temple, Li Xingwen caught a cold the next day.

Both women were obviously fine, so why was he the only one who couldn't handle it?

"I'm sorry, Xingwen, I didn't expect you to be so weak. We won't stay in the dilapidated temple anymore. We must rush to the county and stay in an inn no matter what."

Shan Yunhe felt extremely distressed and couldn't stop blaming himself for being unconscientious.

"It's okay, I, ah-choo--"

It’s strange, Tangtang is fine, am I weaker than Tangtang?

"Cousin, why are you staring at Tangtang?" the little girl asked curiously.

"Tangtang, are you okay? Don't be sick and not know it."

Get ill?

That won't happen.

The little girl waved her hands, indicating that after she mastered the Miaoxiang Liuli Sutra, she would no longer be sick.

.....

"Knowing magic is like this, cough cough cough."

Halfway through his speech, Li Xingwen started coughing deliberately.

Because he thought that Shan Yunhe was still there, and it was really inappropriate to talk about such topics at all.

"We can already see the county town. Xingwen, hold on. We'll go find a doctor once we get to the city!"

Seeing the scholar sneezing and coughing, Shan Yunhe became more and more anxious.

"Hey, it's not that serious."

"Still saying no? Come, I'll help you walk."

Although he was not feeling well physically, Li Xingwen felt warm in his heart at this moment.

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he secretly made up his mind that after passing the imperial examination, he would marry Shan Yunhe in a grand ceremony.

After arriving at the county town, Li Xingwen felt much better after drinking some medicinal soup and resting for half a day.

"Tangtang, Yunhe, you guys rest in the inn for a while. I'm going to visit a classmate."

He had a classmate named Lu Jie who lived in this county. The two were not close friends, but since he was here, it would be against etiquette not to visit him.

"He'll be back soon. Maybe he has already left."

Relying on his excellent memory, Li Xingwen followed the address Lu Jie told him and groped his way to a small house.

Dongdong--

"Brother Lu, I'm Li Xingwen, are you at home?"

Dongdong--

The door opened quickly, and it seemed that Mr. Lu had not yet left.

"Haha, long time no see, Lu..."

Why do you stink so much? Haven’t you taken a shower in a year?

Li Xingwen almost fainted from the stench of the man. He kept his face stiff and said the second half of the sentence with a breath held: "How are you, Brother Lu?"

.....

"Okay, come in quickly!"

Lu Jie looked at Li Xingwen for a moment, then warmly invited him to come in and sit down.

"I was passing by here on my way to take the exam, and I came to see Brother Lu after not seeing him for a long time. Since Brother Lu is doing well, I will take my leave first!"

Li Xingwen really didn't want to go into the house, so he wanted to leave in a hurry after saying that.

"Don't be in such a hurry to leave. I've learned a lot recently and I'd like to have a good exchange with someone."

Increased knowledge?

Li Xingwen likes to exchange knowledge with others the most, but, can we change the place?

"Brother Lu, how about we go to a teahouse and order a pot of fragrant tea while we talk?"

The scholar's suggestion seemed not to be adopted, because Lu Jie shook his head and walked into the house.

"..."

Never mind, since we are exchanging knowledge, the ugly points don’t matter, it doesn’t matter!

Li Xingwen gritted his teeth and walked into the house. He sat down in front of the window and started talking about academic matters with Lu Xiucai.

As they talked, the scholar became more and more excited and completely ignored the stench in the room.

After not seeing each other for a while, Lu Jie has really learned a lot.

In my impression, this person's knowledge is just average, but now every word he speaks is incisive and to the point, it's like he is a completely different person.

“Brother Lu, you’ve really been studying hard lately.”

After a long talk, Li Xingwen was full of praise for Lu Jie.

“Studying hard is useless”

Lu Xiucai hesitated for a moment, but he finally leaned over and whispered, "I climbed a mountain and gained a lot of knowledge."
