Chapter 31 31. Departure
At night, Xu Ziyi had begun to doze off when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
"Come in." he shouted drowsily.
Xu Jingzhou came in and chased away Xu Ziyi's drowsiness.
He said in a bad tone: "It's so late, what are you doing here?"
"I'm leaving for the provincial capital tomorrow. I'll come over to see you before I leave," Xu Jingzhou said.
Xu Ziyi shuddered and felt so sick that he said angrily: "There must be something wrong with your brain. Find a doctor quickly and don't waste any time."
Xu Jingzhou wasn't upset, after all, he used to say things that were more outrageous than this almost every day.
He said seriously: "I have something to tell you."
Xu Ziyi glanced at him doubtfully and said, "Just tell me."
Xu Jingzhou pursed his lips. After all, he had never gotten along well with this younger brother. He didn't know how to speak at this moment. Finally, he reluctantly said: "You are not as useless as I thought."
?
Xu Ziyi immediately became angry. He raised his head and shouted, "Are you looking for trouble?"
Xu Jingzhou didn't mean that. He suddenly panicked and said, "I mean you can only use it so much."
"Stop talking!" Xu Ziyi called to him, lay back, looked at the ceiling, and said in a cold tone: "I understand what you mean, don't worry, I will leave here after I'm healed, and I won't give you an official career path."
Discredit."
If it weren't for his mother, he would have run away long ago.
Xu Jingzhou was also angry. He kicked the bed and actually kicked the bed away a little. He seemed to be upset and kicked him several times in succession. His face showed an unprecedented emotional expression.
Xu Ziyi looked at him with a complicated expression. It was the first time he saw him going crazy. He couldn't help but start to wonder if this guy was stupid because of studying.
After a while, Xu Jingzhou finally calmed down and felt like he could speak out. He said word by word: "Xu Ziyi, I want to apologize to you."
"I shouldn't be prejudiced against you. You are indeed better than me in some areas."
The scene of Xu Ziyi rushing out to rescue Yu An flashed through Xu Jingzhou's mind, and the complexity in his heart lingered for a long time.
There was shock, admiration, regret, and a little bit of faint jealousy.
Jealous of Yu An.
After saying this, the room suddenly became quiet, so quiet that you could hear the rustling of leaves outside.
The air is very awkward.
One of the brothers stood and the other lay down. They were in a stalemate for a long time. Finally, Xu Ziyi broke the silence.
He said extraordinarily calmly: "I understand, let's go. I wish you good luck in the exam."
Xu Jingzhou opened his mouth, but finally said nothing, turned and left, his back looking a little lonely.
He still doesn't know that this farewell will be an eternal farewell.
Xu Ziyi's mother, He, used to be a brothel girl. As soon as she became pregnant with Xu Ziyi, she was carried into the mansion by the high-spirited county magistrate who took office at that time. At that time, the child in the eldest lady's belly was only one month older than Xu Ziyi.
You can imagine how many looks Xu Ziyi received when he was young.
But Xu Jingzhou couldn't see this. He had been influenced by his private school teachers and eldest ladies since he was a child. He believed in his heart that people should work hard and gain fame. He was very disgusted with Xu Ziyi who was idle and messing around all day long.
Xu Jingzhou walked back to the room lonely, and suddenly realized that he didn't seem to understand this younger brother at all, and had never helped him.
He seems to have lost his brother.
Early the next morning, Yun Yao helped Yu An onto the carriage and carried a bunch of things up.
She had a guide and could go with Yu An. She had originally rented a carriage by herself after arriving in town, but the county magistrate was too enthusiastic and deliberately prepared an extra carriage for them so that they and Xu Jingzhou could go to the provincial capital together.
"Wait a minute!" Yun Yao said, "I'll take Heitan with me."
Yun Yao returned to the house and lifted up the sleeping Heidan with one hand.
Black Egg woke up with a start. He wanted to resist very much, but was caught by the back of Destiny's neck. He could only droop his tail and blink honestly.
Yun Yao took a look around the house to see if there was anything he had forgotten.
The provincial capital is different from the county town. It takes more than a month to get there, so you must be cautious.
She found a book on Yu An's desk.
Worried that Yu An had forgotten it, Yun Yao stepped forward to check and found that it was actually a medical book, specifically about bone injuries.
There are many markings on it.
Yun Yao's heart throbbed, and he carefully rubbed the tattered corner of the book without taking the book away.
She firmly determined in her heart to cure Yu An.
After locking the doors and windows, Yun Yao put Hei Dan on the carriage and jumped on it.
Heidan immediately got into the luggage compartment, found a comfortable position and lay down.
Ever since he ate the big fish that he longed for, he ignored Yun Yao's love.
Everything was ready, and the two carriages set off one after the other.
It was not easy to travel far in ancient times. Yun Yao sat opposite Yu An. At first, he was still in the mood to look at the scenery outside. After sitting for a while, he became annoyed and sleepy due to the bumps and he just wanted to sleep.
I have to say that the county magistrate's carriage is much better than ordinary carriages. It has more space, soft cushions, and thicker curtains. It's not too cold inside the carriage.
But even so, it was not convenient for Yunyao to sleep. She first found a position to lie on her side, and ended up hitting the wall with the back of her head.
Later, she lay down again, but after all, it was a carriage and there wasn't that much space. She couldn't stretch her legs. She slept with her legs bent. Every time she wanted to fall asleep, she subconsciously stretched her legs and pressed her toes against the carriage, which was very uncomfortable.
On the other hand, Yu An was sitting quietly in the corner of the carriage reading a book, turning a page from time to time, his eyes moving slightly, as beautiful as an oil painting.
But in fact, he didn't read a word, he just watched Yun Yao's movements with the corner of his eye.
Yun Yao pursed his lips and glanced at Yu An, stopping on his healthy and strong right leg.
It looks like a good place to sleep.
Yun Yao blinked, quietly moved to the opposite side, and sat down next to Yu An.
Yu An's mind moved.
Yun Yao came closer and pretended to read his book. There were some scriptures and poems on it. Yun Yao knew most of the words, but when put together they were completely incomprehensible.
Her head almost touched Yu An's shoulder, and a few stubborn hairs stirred back and forth on Yu An's delicate jawline, making Yu An motionless and stiff, and she deliberately pretended to be indifferent.
Yun Yao became even more sleepy when she saw the words. She yawned slightly and glanced at Yu An from time to time. Seeing that he didn't look repulsive, she started to move.
She weighed and moved to the right, creating a similar position for her to lie down.
Seeing Yun Yao suddenly move away, Yu An breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he felt disappointed for no reason. When he was thinking wildly, a head suddenly came from under his arm and rested on his right leg.
Yun Yao's soft hair rubbed against Yu An's legs, and he found a comfortable position to lie on his side to sleep.
This place is really a good location, warm and comfortable. Yun Yao glanced at Yu An with a smile, then turned around and fell into a sweet dream.
Yu An felt that there was a heat source on his legs. He put down the book at a loss. He felt that his heart was beating faster and he didn't know where to put his hands.
Incomparable suffering.
