Rebirth of the poor elder sister-in-law

Chapter 146
In the past few days, Liu Man'er has been helping Ye Feng review what he has learned. He is asked to write an article, a small poem, or endorse books for him every day. Ye Feng is also very cooperative.

Liu Man'er tested him a few times. This kid has memorized the Four Books and Five Classics fluently, and some articles are also very gorgeous. She thinks that this time he should be able to be admitted as a scholar.

If you can't pass the test, it means that the ancient talent test is too difficult. She has never participated in this kind of difficulty, but there are records in ancient books that some child prodigies can pass the test at the age of seven or eight, so This scholar's test should be written skills, and it won't be too difficult.

There is an academy in the county seat, and the higher-ups will send someone down to be an examiner. Ye Feng is also very familiar with the county seat, and the exam place is also the academy he is currently enrolled in, so Liu Man'er is not worried about him, but she still went to the county seat in advance to be with him I looked at the examination room.

Because of the exam, there was no one in the academy these days, only some students who were preparing for the exam were visiting here. Ye Feng met several of his classmates, and he also greeted and saluted them politely.

Liu Man'er felt very comfortable looking at them, and felt that they really looked like students, but each of them had a bit of bookish flavor.

After watching the examination room, Liu Man'er and Ye Feng still had to go back as usual. Anyway, they were not too far away from the county seat, but only twenty miles away. Some people went fifty or sixty miles to the county seat. They had to advance It took several days to go to the county seat to prepare.

So all of a sudden, the inns in the county were full, and even Liu Man'er's snack shop and restaurant business improved a lot. This made Liu Man'er quite happy. She looked at the income figures on the account book every day, and felt happy .

Liu Man'er planned to let Ye Feng go to the county one day in advance. Ye Feng was at home, so she could take care of him and cook him some delicious food. Now he, like those students who took the high school entrance examination, must be protected.

Ye Feng felt quite embarrassed, although he also attached great importance to this exam, but he might be the reason for his breasts, but he thought it was okay, as usual, he should eat and drink, and had nothing to do with Liu Man'er Play Go.

Ye Feng's Go skills have become more powerful, and Liu Man'er has won fewer times now, perhaps because she doesn't put much thought into Go.

In a flash, the one-month vacation that the master gave for these candidates passed. The day before the exam, Liu Man'er sent Ye Feng to the county seat.

She prepared a basket for Ye Feng, and put pens, ink, paper and inkstones in it, and was afraid that something might go wrong during the exam.

After all, during the exam, if your paper is dirty, maybe the invigilator will give you a piece of paper, but you don’t have pen and ink, so I’m sorry, no one will lend it to you.

In particular, inkstones were used in ancient times, and sometimes the ink could be brought upside down if you accidentally touch it lightly. If you write halfway and the ink pollutes the test paper, you can only rewrite it.

This ancient exam took so long, and an article was so long, Liu Man'er was a little worried for Ye Feng when she thought about it. She was not worried about his level, she was worried about whether any accident would happen to him.

So before leaving, I told him again: "Be sure to check the basket to see if you have forgotten anything, and you must put the ink far away, so as not to pollute the test paper."

"Understood, I will pay attention." Ye Feng replied.

"Okay, then I'll go back first, I'm more nervous than you here." Liu Man'er shook her head and said, she was really more nervous than Ye Feng, which is really strange, just like the student waiting for the exam in the past Same as mother.

"Sister-in-law, don't be nervous. It's just an exam. As long as there are no accidents, I can pass the exam." Ye Feng said confidently.

"That's fine, then I won't bother you. You can spend the night in the attic tonight. If you need anything, you can ask your elder brother Yunsheng." Liu Man'er took out a few taels of silver and said. : "You take this money, when the exam is over, you take it to have a drink with your classmates and relax."

"No, I still have money." Ye Feng said.

"Take it, just in case, come back early." Liu Man'er said and walked out.

Except for that period of time when I went to Jiezhou to visit Ye Yuan, Liu Man'er didn't stay outside during the rest of the time. Liu Man'er always felt a little worried about staying outside, so every time no matter how late it was, she would rush back home .

This time, after she went around the shop, she went to pay a visit to Guanshi Wu and Young Master Yan. Before she left, it was getting late, but she was carrying a bow, arrow and hatchet, and she was used to walking this way. Yes, there is nothing to be afraid of.

It's just that she forgot one thing. At this time, the busy farming had just passed, and it was the time when the crops were not harvested. The common people began to sell their sons and daughters again, and some people put down their hoes and picked up their knives to start horse thieves.

From Dawan Village to the county seat, there are many villages along the [-]-mile journey. When Liu Man'er passed a village, she saw the mountain top of the village ablaze from afar. Moreover, Liu Man'er thought it was a fire, so she hurried over to see herself. Can you help me.

But when she was about to reach the village, she suddenly felt that something was wrong. Her ears were always sensitive. Now, after listening carefully, she could only hear the loud shouts in the village. Apart from the cries of women, there were also men's grinning laughter. And the sound of swords and soldiers clashing.

In a small place like Liyang County, it's impossible for such a large-scale fighting to happen, right?At this moment, Liu Man'er hasn't thought about the horse thief yet.

From her point of view, things like falling grass into bandits are far away from her. At least in the past two years since she came here, the common people live and work in peace and contentment except for a little poverty. How has she ever encountered such a thing?
However, I suddenly remembered what Guanshi Wu said before leaving:
"Master Ye might as well rest in the county town for a night. The world is not peaceful now. I heard that there are already horse thieves outside."

At that time, she didn't take this matter seriously, but now that she thought about it, her heart skipped a beat.

What should she do if it is really a horse thief in front of her?She didn't think that she had such a supernatural ability, so she could do nothing to deal with these horse thieves.

Apart from being good at archery, she is essentially a weak woman. Apart from killing a few rabbits in her archery, she is just scary.

Pulling the horse to stay outside, the sky was completely dark at this moment, leaving only a crescent moon in the sky, shedding pale light.

The more Liu Man'er listened, the more terrifying she felt. She even heard the sound of horseshoes, and the screams became more and more clear in her ears. This was definitely not a fire, it was most likely a horse thief!
What should we do now?Not to mention saving lives, Liu Man'er felt that she could not protect herself, and this was the only way to go. If it was really a horse thief, she couldn't guarantee that she would not collide with them.

What she is most afraid of is not this. If they come to the county, that would be fine. What she is most afraid of is that they will go all the way down, burning, killing and looting along the way. If this is the case, will they come to her village?

In this village, their village is only ten miles away. If they go to Dawan Village, the consequences will be disastrous, and she must go back to report.

The cruelty of those horse thieves that I saw in the book before gradually came to Liu Man'er's mind. The more she thought about it, the more afraid she was. She wanted to report back, but what if when she was walking back, these horse thieves found her and chased after her What should I do?
Anyway, the black lights are blind, if they find themselves, they will abandon their horses and run away.

Liu Man'er thought of an idea, she drove the horse back, and remembered that there was a forest not far away, she unloaded her carriage, and then took out a piece of cloth on the horse's back as a saddle.

Turning on the horse, Liu Man'er touched the hatchet at her waist, and gradually became firm in her heart. If there were really horse thieves in that village, then she must go back and report the news, and she must not back down.

Even if it wasn't, she had to go back early so that Fang wouldn't be worried.

He drove the horse forward, and when he was about to reach the village, Liu Man'er got off the horse, jumped into the grass by the side of the road, moved slowly in the grass, and let the horse walk on the road. Ma has been with her for more than a year, and he will go back.

She was mainly afraid that there were real horse thieves inside, and riding a horse past would definitely attract attention. After all, if it was really a horse thief, they would definitely send people to guard the roadside.

Sure enough, when Liu Man'er's horse walked past slowly, two people on the side of the road asked strangely: "What's going on here? Where did this horse come from?"

"God knows," said another.

"Then do you want to kill the horse?" One of them asked and took out a knife.

"No, it's a good horse, it's worth tens of taels of silver. It's a pity to kill it. Maybe it's our horse." Another person said, the two people obviously had the accent of this Liyang County native.

Liu Man'er heard them say again: "These sons of bitches are living happily inside, and letting our brother guard the gate is really annoying."

"Brother, don't be angry. The boss said that tonight, we will do a big ticket to sweep away the villages along the way here. This time we will guard the gate, and next time we will go in and have fun." One person comforted.

Liu Man'er was furious when she heard that, these people really deserve to die!But there is an unreasonable fear in my heart, what should I do?These people are really horse thieves, and according to their wishes, they want to sweep away the villages along the way!
But why there was no news about this before, Liu Man'er felt uneasy and terrified.

The screams inside were like purgatory in Liu Man'er's ears. A woman's scream made Liu Man'er's heart tremble. Seeing that her horse had run away, she also moved forward slowly. .

Perhaps because of fear, he even stepped on a dead branch and made a slight noise. On this big night, one side is a purgatory on earth, and the other side is terribly quiet.

"What sound?" The horse thief became alert.
