Chapter 8 8. Yun Xi
There are not many scholars in the town and the surrounding villages, and the news of Yun Dexing soon reached the ears of Gu Jinshu, the dean of Feimo Academy.

Dean Gu went to the county government office to ask for proof, and after getting a positive answer, he swiped his pen and crossed Yun Dexing's name off the examination list.

His academy does not support crooked talents.

When the owner of the gambling shop heard that someone was picking on him, he immediately became angry. He brought a group of masked "guards" from the town into the village, dragged Yun Dexing out of his house, and beat him to death.

Liu wanted to rush over to protect her son, but Yun Yao stopped her.

"How can you be so vicious." Liu looked at her sadly.

Yun Yao said calmly, "I didn't see you say that when your son beat me."

In the past, when Yun Dexing lost a bet, he came back secretly to vent his anger on Yun Yao, punching and kicking her.Mrs. Liu bumped into her by chance several times, but chose to keep silent.

The "guards" relieved their anger and called Yun Yao to go back together. Yun Yao let go of Liu Shi's hand, and Liu Shi immediately rushed to Yun Dexing's side.

Yun Yao walked up to Mrs. Liu, and her shadow gradually covered Mrs. Liu's face.

She fiddled with a strand of hair boredly with her fingers, and said, "The reason why I let you go is because you are Xiaoshun's family, otherwise I will definitely let you be buried with the dead."

Liu didn't know why, but Yun Yao didn't want to explain too much, so he turned and left.

In order to pay off the debt, the Yun family spent all their savings and even sold the land.

The room leak happened to rain all night, Yun Dexing's injury didn't get better, but the wound became inflamed, and the high fever persisted. The Yun family was so anxious that they almost sold Yun Zhaodi, but fortunately, Xiaoshun stopped him.

At the critical moment, Fei Mo Academy returned the registration fee to the Yun family, a total of five taels of silver, and the Yun family used all of it to treat Yun Dexing's illness, and he got better.

The old lady Zhang couldn't bear the blow, so she went away after all.

The Yun family had no money for the funeral, so they found a secluded place to bury Mrs. Zhang.

After returning from the county government office, Xiao Shun never looked for Yun Yao again, and when he encountered him occasionally, he would turn his head away and pretend he didn't see him.

Yun Yao felt sour in his heart.

But she doesn't regret anything she did.

The thin Yun Deshun took on important responsibilities when his family was at its lowest point. He went to the town to sell firewood every day. Although he didn't earn much, it was enough for the family to eat.

In order to subsidize her family, Yun Zhaodi has been weaving baskets day and night, and sometimes she can weave seventy or eighty baskets a day.

Yun Zhaohai and his wife also gradually cheered up and got busy with their livelihood again.

The most confused Yun Dezhu was dragged to work every day, and he began to envy Yun Dexing who was recuperating in bed.

On October 21st, the day of the Fei Mo Academy's exams, it snowed heavily.

There is a saying in the village that you should not go into the deep mountains after it snows, otherwise you will be besieged by wolves.

So Yun Yao picked up the shovel and was going to dig some traps deep in the mountains to see if he could catch a few wolves.

Zhao Xiaoqin was walking up the mountain when she happened to meet Yun Yao coming out of the yard.

"Where are you going?" Yun Yao asked.

Zhao Xiaoqin has a one-year-old son named Yang Fu. She never lets him leave her body, and seldom leaves the house. Only when she goes to the town to sell vegetables will she give him to her mother-in-law to take care of her.

"It's winter, and I want to go to the temple to pray for my husband and keep him safe in the army." Zhao Xiaoqin said softly.

Zhao Xiaoqin's husband, Yang Kai, joined the army last year.

"I'll drop by with you, let's go together." Yun Yao said.

"Okay." Zhao Xiaoqin nodded happily.

After walking for a while, Yun Yao regretted it.Zhao Xiaoqin walked on the cobblestone road, which was a lot longer than Yunyao usually went up the mountain.

Moreover, she kowtowed as she walked, step by step, and sometimes she could not stand still.Yun Yao was worried about leaving, so she could only walk aside, helping her from time to time.

Knocking until noon, the two arrived at the temple.

Zhao Xiaoqin raised her red and swollen forehead, smiled apologetically at Yunyao, and said, "I never fell in the past, and having you by my side made me feel a lot more at ease."

Yun Yao shook his head helplessly, still admiring Zhao Xiaoqin very much in his heart.

The little monk who was sweeping the snow saw the two, and after asking about their intentions, he led Zhao Xiaoqin to invite incense.

"Go, I'll wait for you here." Yun Yao said.

The temple on the back mountain is far more magnificent than imagined. There is a main hall, a bell tower, a drum tower, red walls and blue tiles, carved beams and painted columns.

It is hard to imagine such a magnificent temple next to such a desolate village.

Yun Yao didn't expect to be out for so long, and he didn't bring anything to eat when he went out. He was hungry and didn't have the mood to look around, so he found a clean stone and sat down.

There were footsteps not far away, bringing a unique aroma of food. Yun Yao turned his head and saw a handsome young man in Tsing Yi walking towards the temple carrying an exquisite wooden food box.

The young man seemed to notice Yun Yao's gaze, and turned to look at her.

With just one glance at the boy, his pupils shrank and his brain stopped thinking.

Obviously he was only one step away from going up, but he didn't lift his foot in a daze, and the result was that he tripped and fell to the ground, and the food box flew out.

Yun Yao looked at the food box, her stomach drove her brain, she swung the shovel, and the sound of strong wind came from the shovel as she swung it.

She strode forward and caught the food box firmly.

"The girl is very skilled."

The door of a meditation room next to the main hall opened at some point, and a man in white came out, followed by another young man in green.

The man was in his twenties, dressed in white and snowy, with picturesque features.

However, he seemed to be in poor health, his skin was too pale, there was a hint of sadness in his eyes, and a unique sense of brokenness in his body.

The fallen youth in Tsing Yi stood up and walked behind the man in white.

"Thank you girl for saving my lunch." The man in white said again.

"It's okay." Yun Yao said.

The moment he saw the man in white, Yun Yao already understood why the boy in Tsing Yi fell down.

It's too similar, she looks too much like the man in white.

If you compare the two of them to two versions of a game, then Yunyao is the low-end version, and the man in white is the upgraded version.

Yun Yao accidentally stared blankly.

It was so rude, but fortunately her stomach stopped her and said, "Googoogoogoogoogoo."

Yun Yao: .
The man in white smiled softly, and said, "If the girl doesn't dislike it, you can go to the meditation room with me to have lunch together, and it will be counted as my gratitude to the girl."

"Then interrupt." Yun Yao put the shovel aside and followed the man into the meditation room.

Different from the magnificent appearance of the temple, the interior of the meditation room is simple and elegant.

"Tianyi, Tianqing, Bucai." The man in white said to the two teenagers in Tsing Yi.

The two teenagers were well-bred and did not show any disdain for the rustic Yun Yao.

Yun Yao was looking forward to it at first, but he was disappointed when he saw that they presented four light materials.

Seeing her emotions written all over her face, the man in white smiled and said, "I've let the girl down because I can't eat meat because of my health. May I ask the girl's age?"

"It should be fifteen." Yun Yao said.

She picked up a piece of tofu and stuffed it into her mouth. Unexpectedly, it was delicious, with a smooth and tender texture and a delicate taste.

So she picked it up again.

"It turns out that the girl is the same age as my son, no wonder I have a kind of affection for you."

Yun Yao paused, and an irrelevant memory suddenly rushed into her brain.

Although the Yun family favored sons over daughters, Yuanshen's grandma, Mrs. Zhang, was fine with Yun Zhaodi, but she especially hated Yun Yao.

Yuan felt aggrieved, and once asked Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang said that she didn't look like the Yun family at all, and she didn't know where she came from.

Sure enough, it was an irrelevant memory, Yun Yao drove it out of his mind, and put a mouthful of bamboo shoots in his mouth.

tasty!So crispy!
After dinner, Yun Yao said goodbye to the man in white, and waited for another half an hour in front of the temple before Zhao Xiaoqin came out.

She took out a paper bag from her bosom, which contained two vegetarian buns, and she took out one and handed it to Yun Yao, saying, "You're starving, go eat it."

Yun Yao didn't bother to explain about having lunch, so he took the buns and finished eating them in a few mouthfuls.

Well, they are all vegetarian, why is there such a big gap?

In the meditation room, Yun Xi gently tapped the table three times with his index finger, and a man in black jumped down from nowhere and knelt down in front of Yun Xi.

Yun Xi glanced at the clean food box, and said to the man in black, "Go and find out the identity of that girl."

"Yes." The man in black led the order to go out.

"Tianyi, come here." Yun Xi's tone was calm.

The young man named Tianyi shuddered, and knelt obediently beside Yun Xi.
