Chapter 93
"Sister, how long do we have to go?"

Teng Yanyun was carrying a burden on one of his left and right shoulders, and he followed Yu Jin and Wang Xingzhi's buttocks, a little out of breath.

Ember stopped, covered her eyes with her hands and looked ahead, "It's not far away."

Looking back at Teng Yanyun again, "Tired? Give me the burden, I will carry it."

Teng Yanjun twisted and took two steps back to avoid Ember's hand, "No, I'm not tired."

Saying that, Teng Yanjun ran a few steps forward and crossed the embers, "I still have strength! Sister, hurry up!"

A shadow suddenly fell over his head, followed by a sudden light on his shoulders, Teng Yanyun raised his head, and saw Wang Xingzhi striding forward with his bag in his hands.

"Uncle?"

"Don't try your best."

Teng Yanjun followed up, "I didn't try my best, until uncle you..."

"Call me brother."

"No."

"How come Ember is the elder sister, and I am the uncle, so it's no wonder that I'm a senior."

"Because you are the oldest!"

Teng Yanjun started to play tricks with Wang Xingzhi again, this scene has been repeated countless times.

The three of them set off for Shuntian Mansion when they heard about the flood in the south of the Yangtze River. When they left from the north, they took a carriage. Abandoned the car and decided to walk the rest of the journey.

Among the three, Teng Yanjun was the youngest, but he cared about his old mother's heart, and carried Ember and her luggage along the way without crying tired, for fear that Ember would be tired.

As for Wang Xingzhi, he thinks that he is the only man in the three-person team, and the rest of the young and old... cough cough, no, they are sick and weak, and he is strong and tall, so naturally he has to bear the burden. Regarding the safety of Ember and Teng Yanjun, share as much as you can.

As for Yu Jin, she felt that although her current body took a bit of effort, it was naturally much stronger than Wang Xingzhi and Teng Yanyun, but Teng Yanyun and Wang Xingzhi had misunderstood her deeply, and Yu Jin didn't bother to say, Seeing that the problem wasn't a big deal, it was up to the two of them.

So speaking of it, among the three, counting the embers is the easiest.

"Cough cough."

Ember coughed twice, and Teng Yanyun's ears were sharp. Hearing the sound, he turned his head and ran back to help Ember calm down. A look of worry flashed in his eyes, "Are you tired again? Let's have a rest."

Wang Xingzhi also stopped, "Take a break?"

Ember calmed down, waved his hands at the two of them, and said nothing, "It's okay, I was out of breath just now, and I choked on my saliva."

Teng Yanyun believed it, but Wang Xingzhi made it clear that he didn't believe it. He said, "I often choke on my saliva. Do you have too much saliva or your throat is too narrow and you keep choking."

This excuse was completely used up by Ember. Wang Xingzhi could tell that Ember had a physical problem, but he looked normal at ordinary times. Ember didn't behave or say anything, so naturally he wouldn't be free to pick up other people's private affairs.

"Take a break." Wang Xingzhi made a final decision, he looked around, and then brought Ember and Teng Yanyun to a tree with luxuriant foliage, and spread a cloth for them to sit down.

"Sister, drink water."

Ember subconsciously picked it up with her left hand, but suddenly fell under the weight of the water bag, and Wang Xingzhi saw that Ember's hand was trembling slightly.

But she obviously didn't carry heavy loads or use any strength along the way, so she couldn't be out of strength.

Ember turned the water bag to her right hand, and after taking a few sips of water, she handed it back to Teng Yanyun, "Shuntian Mansion is coming, how do you feel along the way?"

Wang Xingzhi knew that Yu Jin's words were asking him, so he raised his head and took a sip of water, and swallowed it after a while, thinking for a while, "There are too many refugees."

Ember clicked her tongue, "I'm asking you about your feelings, not asking you to state it."

Wang Xingzhi glanced at her, "Live by the sea?"

Subtext: The tube is so wide!

Ember wasn't annoyed either, she picked up a grass and held it in her hand to play with, "Who cares about you, it's not because your parents told me to persuade you to go back to scientific research, I was just entrusted by others."

Ember raised her eyes: "How about it, have you figured it out along the way?"

That's right, from the north to the Jiangnan Shuntian mansion, one south and one north, the two places are far apart, and the carriage only takes half of the distance. After crossing the invisible southern border line, I began to see the refugees who ran out of the south .

In fact, since seeing the refugees, Ember had the idea of ​​giving up the carriage, but considering Wang's parents' entrustment, Ember didn't say anything, she wanted Wang Xingzhi to experience it.

So the carriage went all the way south, and the refugees also changed from scattered to groups. They gathered around the official road, and when they saw a passing carriage or caravan, they swarmed up, knelt down, kowtowed and cried, shouting "poor, poor!" "Let's" "give me something to eat", "be kind", "great kind person" and so on. At that time, a lady from an official family passed by. She was probably very sympathetic, and she was probably well protected by her family, so she Food was delivered.

Then--

More refugees rushed up and scattered the carriage. If it wasn't for the maid guarding the young lady, it would have been impossible for her to escape safely.

This scene fell into the eyes of Yu Jin, Teng Yanjun, and Wang Xingzhi, and their reactions were different.

Ember looked at it normally, with nothing in his eyes, Teng Yanyun sighed, sighing that the young lady's simple thinking was too simple, but Wang Xingzhi's eyes were heavy, and the veins in his clenched fists were fully visible at that time.

In fact, strictly speaking, the reactions of Yu Jin and Teng Yanjun belong to the same category, they are both indifferent, while Wang Xingzhi has the chivalry and spirit of a young man, but on the one hand, he knows that the situation cannot be controlled by him, and the two ends of the balance in his heart depend on reason in control.

"Let's ditch the car."

Wang Xingzhi said so.

So the three of them abandoned the carriage, took a small path to bypass the refugees, walked intermittently on their feet for more than half a month, and then they will be considered to have reached the edge of Shuntian Mansion.

"Why are you so concerned about my affairs?"

"I'm not concerned about your affairs, but my concern about what your parents told me. You have to figure out the cause and effect of this."

Wang Xingzhi didn't speak anymore. He was silent for a while and said, "Do you know what the imperial examination means?"

The significance of imperial examinations?
Teng Yanjun raised his hand and hurriedly said: "I know, I know, the imperial examination is an exam, and if you pass the exam, you will become an official."

Ember thought for a moment following Teng Yanjun's words, then nodded and agreed: "That's right, although what I said is not so rigorous, but the words are rough and not rough, that's almost what it means."

"Heh, to be an official?" Wang Xingzhi twitched the corners of his mouth, and his tone was a little mocking, "The purpose of the imperial examination is to be an official? Then what about being an official? What is the purpose of being an official?"

Teng Yanyun: "Benefiting the common people? That's what it says in the book."

Wang Xingzhi looked in the direction of Shuntian Mansion, "Did the official do it?"

"Those people who passed the imperial examination, those who are officials, did they benefit one side?"
