Chapter 17
Huaiying originally agreed to send Xiao Zidan to the Gongyuan, but the night before, Long Xining stomped on the quilt and caught Huaiying with a cold.Father Xiao let her rest her head at home, didn't even eat breakfast at home, and went out with Xiao Zidan.

After lying on the bed for a while, Huaiying felt uncomfortable all over, so she got up again.It was rare for Long Xining to be considerate, so he went to the alley to buy her beancurd and steamed buns, and asked, "Huaiying, do you have a headache, how about I go and find a doctor for you?"

"Don't..." Huaiying thumped his sore arms and legs, shook his head and said, "I'm fine, just drink more water."

"Are you all right?" Long Xining was still a little worried. He climbed onto the table, reached out and touched Tan Huaiying's forehead, paused for a few seconds, and said with a serious face, "It seems to be a little hot."

"I'll just eat and sleep for a while." Huaiying said indifferently, "I'm in good health, and this little problem is nothing. I fell into the lake that day and got soaked, but I didn't get sick either." .”

Seeing her listless look, Long Xining didn't dare to disturb her.After Huaiying finished eating, he drove her to the house to rest: "I'll clean up the dishes, don't worry, I won't drop them."

Although Huaiying didn't really believe that he could wash dishes, she still let out a "huh" and went back to the room to lie down.Just when he was confused, he heard a buzzing sound outside. It was Long Xining talking to someone in the yard.It's still early, Xiao Zidan probably hasn't entered the tribute courtyard yet, Xiao father will naturally not go home, so who is here?

"Who is it?" Huaiying lay on the bed and hummed softly.

"Dung digger." Long Xi's immature voice sounded from outside, and he poked his head in quickly, "I thought he was pitiful, so I let him in, he's in the latrine."

"Oh," Huaiying half sat up vigilantly, rubbed his temples, and whispered, "It can't be a bad person." The adults in the family are not around, so it's not good to let outsiders in so rashly.

"It's not a bad person." Long Xining shook his head and said, "I can tell." He paused, then whispered, "Huaiying, go to sleep, I'm here at home."

Can he see it?However, since he was a dragon anyway, Huaiying didn't have to worry about anything, she squinted her eyes and soon fell asleep again.

When Mimi was staring, Huaiying heard Long Xining calling her, she was a little dazed, and said "um", without opening her eyes.

"Huaiying, Huaiying, it's bad! Get up quickly, something serious is going to happen. Someone is going to kill Xiao Zidan."

Huaiying woke up with a jerk: "What? Someone wants to kill my elder brother?"

Long Xining said anxiously: "Just now, the man who took out the dung took out a few writing brushes from the dung pit. Who in our family would throw good brushes there, but Dong Cheng came the day before yesterday..."

Huaiying's mind was like a ball of paste, and after listening to Long Xining for a long time, she finally sorted out some clues, and immediately jumped out of bed nervously: "You mean that Dong Cheng changed my elder brother's pen! "

Why did Dong Cheng change Xiao Zidan's pen?She opened the box and checked it that day. The pen and ink are all in good condition, without any damage.Why did Dong Cheng do such a thing?The more Huaiying thought about it, the more her head hurt, but she knew in her heart that there must be something wrong with those pens.

"No, I have to tell my elder brother quickly." Huaiying put on her clothes without any explanation.

Long Xining frowned and looked at her pale face, trying to stop her, but hesitated for a while, and still didn't say anything.

Huaiying ran out in three steps at a time, followed by Long Xining.

Fortunately, they lived not far from the Gongyuan, and they arrived there in less than 10 minutes.It was the time when there were a lot of people, Huaiying led Long Xining and squeezed in, sweating profusely, but couldn't squeeze in at all.The person in front reprimanded unhappily: "It's not you who take the exam, why are you crowded?"

"I have something urgent, so please let us go." Huaiying was so anxious that she was about to cry.

However, the people in front didn't like her at all: "You are the only one who is in a hurry, who is not in a hurry? Didn't you see that they were all being searched?"

Suddenly there was a commotion at the entrance of the Gongyuan, Huaiying jumped up and looked forward, and vaguely saw a person who looked like a scholar being dragged away by the yamen servants.

"It's cheating again? It deserves it!" There were whispers around.

"That's right, I really use the yamen servant at the door as a display."

Entrainment!Huaiying's face suddenly changed, and he immediately guessed Dong Cheng's plot.He is trying to push Xiao Zidan to a dead end!

"Huaiying, are you okay?" Seeing that something was wrong with her, Long Xining quickly helped her to hide by the side of the road, and found a cleaner place to sit down, "Do you have a headache?"

"Dong Cheng!" Huaiying gritted his teeth and said bitterly, "You...you just help me kill that beast."

Long Xining was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't laugh or cry: "Don't worry, Xiao Zidan hasn't gone in yet. I smell him, so I'll help him change the pen."

Huaiying immediately became energetic: "Can you change the pen? Doesn't it mean that it is too far away?"

"It's a bit far away, but it should be okay." He closed his eyes while talking, and then it seemed like an old monk had fallen into a trance.After a while, Huaiying felt the temperature on his hands drop little by little, and his originally rosy face gradually turned pale.

Huaiying was startled in her heart: "Long Xining—" She held his hand tightly, her voice changed in fright, "Long Xining, are you okay, if you can't, forget it, I'll just squeeze in. You're like this will hurt yourself."

Long Xining's face became paler and paler, and fine sweat quickly broke out on his forehead. After a while, the dense fine sweat turned into bean-sized beads and slid down his forehead.

"Long... Long Xining..."

Long Xining suddenly took a deep breath, slowly opened his eyes, opened his mouth to say something, but his body collapsed, and he fell limply into Huaiying's arms. "I'm fine." He said weakly, "Xiao Zidan is fine." After saying that, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Huaiying was afraid that he would not be able to hold on and would turn into a fish in broad daylight, so she hurried home with him in her arms.Back home, Long Xining's eyes were still closed, but his complexion was better than before. Huaiying touched his hand, and it seemed that the temperature had returned to normal, so she was relieved.

Fortunately, it was Little Dragon King who recovered quickly.

She was so frightened, and ran around again, sweating all over, and she couldn't bear it now, leaning against the bed and quickly fell asleep.

Gongyuan gate.

"Open the box." The yamen servant said coldly with a sullen face.

Xiao Zidan faintly felt that something was wrong, but he still opened the bookcase as he said, and when he saw the contents of the box, he couldn't help but be taken aback: "Huh?"

"What's the matter?" Father Xiao who was following behind asked, poking his head over while speaking, "You didn't bring a pen?" Father Xiao looked at Xiao Zidan like a fool, "Why are you so sloppy, kid? Did you come here for the exam?" Bring a pen, are you going to answer the paper with your fingers in a while? What's in your head..."

He had a strong voice, and he scolded people with great momentum, which attracted the attention of people at the gate of the Gongyuan.Xiao Zidan could not wait to get into the hole: "No... No, I checked it when I went out." He defended in a low voice.I checked it repeatedly, and the box never left my hand on the road, so why did the writing brush disappear?

What a hell!

see... ghost...

Xiao Zidan immediately thought of Long Xining, but no matter how ignorant Long Xining was, he should know that such things should not be joked, why would he do this?Various thoughts quickly turned in his mind, and his eyes swept around.

There were no figures of Long Xining and Huaiying in the crowd, but he did see Dong Cheng.Dong Cheng looked over with a look of resentment, as if he hadn't expected to meet Xiao Zidan's gaze, a little panic and unnaturalness flashed across his face, he quickly lowered his head, avoiding Xiao Zidan's gaze.

"Go in, go in..." The yamen servant at the door was so irritated by Father Xiao's angry roar, he checked the box hastily, let Xiao Zitan pass by, and said, "there is something in the tribute house. Pens, after entering, ask people what they want. They are still scholars, forget everything..."

Father Xiao finally calmed down after hearing the words, and gave Xiao Zidan a hard look: "Why don't you go in quickly and use it as a pillar at the door?"

Xiao Zidan was used to being scolded by him, so he packed his things calmly and entered the gate of the Gongyuan.

Dong Cheng in the distance opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

Father Xiao watched Xiao Zidan's figure disappear behind the gate, then turned around and squeezed out slowly.After walking not far, I heard a loud shout from behind: "Take it for me!"

"Injustice! Injustice! It's not mine, it's not my pen, someone framed it..."

Father Xiao turned his head and took a look at the person who was taken away. He felt that he looked familiar. He tapped his temples and thought for a while, then suddenly slapped his forehead: "This is not the so-and-so from the Xiao family... Dong."

Tsk tsk, I really lost the face of the Xiao family.

After Huaiying slept, her cold was mostly cured.Seeing that Long Xining had also returned to normal, Huaiying breathed a sigh of relief.

During lunch, Huaiying inevitably asked Xiao Zidan about the exam.

Father Xiao got angry as soon as he said it: "Your elder brother, don't look at him who seems to be quiet and steady on weekdays, but he is actually a lie. He is still young after all, he has no hair on his mouth, and he can't do things well. I took the exam, but I didn’t bring a pen with me, and I insisted that I checked it when I went out. If I really had to check it, why would the pen disappear for no reason..."

Father Xiao criticized Xiao Zitan, then remembered about Dong Cheng, and said, "...It's a good thing his surname is not Xiao, otherwise, the reputation of our Xiao family in Youting Town would be affected."

Huaiying couldn't help but glance at Long Xining when he heard the words.

Long Xining held a large bowl to drink soup, and when he noticed that Huaiying was looking at him, he put down the bowl unhurriedly, and echoed: "It's him, he has wicked eyebrows and eyes, and is extremely ugly. nice one."

"Wu Lang's words are wrong." Father Xiao said, "Although Dong Cheng's intentions are indeed wrong, you must not judge people by their appearance in your behavior in the future. Some people are born ugly, and the world discriminates and makes things difficult for them. Over time, they have been ridiculed much more , Even if he is wronged, he is unwilling to sue himself, day after day, he loses justice..."

Long Xining didn't expect that what he just said casually would cause Xiao's father to make a long speech, so he had to bite the bullet and listen patiently to his lesson.Seeing him deflated, Huaiying thought it was funny, thought about it, and added another bowl of bone soup for him, then interrupted Xiao's father with his help-seeking eyes, and said: "Then what is Dong Cheng doing now?" How is it?"

"He was taken away by the yamen servants." Father Xiao shook his head and said, "I think that Dong Cheng's brain is full of shit. He really thinks that the yamen servants at the gate of the Gongyuan are idlers, and he can hide it with his little tricks. Those yamen servants who have experienced many battles. Even if they are entrained by him, what can they do? Today is a discussion of policy, not to mention a few notes, even if he brings a carload of books, he will not be able to write a good article. "

deserve it!Huaiying secretly thought, if Long Xining hadn't helped this time, Xiao Zidan would have been taken away today.

What's wrong with Xiao Zidan and Dong Cheng?It's just that Xiao Zitong said a few words, that Dong Cheng couldn't deal with Xiao Zitong, so he regarded Xiao Zidan as a thorn in his side, and even used such insidious means to destroy Xiao Zidan's future. The ruin of the future is really retribution.

Xiao Zidan didn't finish the exam until the next afternoon. When he got home, he took a shower and didn't even bother to eat. He fell asleep in the dark and didn't wake up until the next morning.He copied a copy of the exam papers to Father Xiao, Father Xiao read it carefully, nodded slightly, and said, "It's pretty neat."

Seeing Father Xiao's happy face, Huaiying knew that Xiao Zidan did not do badly in the exam.

Huaiying was very happy, and then she quietly told about Dong Cheng trying to frame him for cheating.
