In the evening of the fourth day, the exam was over.
Feng Lin stood guard here early in the morning for a whole day. Other candidates came out one after another. Only Xiao Liulang was nowhere to be seen, and he couldn't help but worry.
Just as he was hesitating whether to ask the people inside, he saw Xiao Liulang came out with a cold expression.
Feng Lin hurried up to meet him, and found that his face was not very good, so he asked, "What's wrong? Is it uncomfortable? Or did you not do well in the test?"
"Nothing." Xiao Liulang said lightly.
Feng Lin heard that his voice was fine, it should not be a physical problem, and said with relief: "I just heard the candidates say that the exam questions this time are particularly difficult, don't be discouraged, maybe they are not as good as you!"
"Go back to the inn." Xiao Liulang said, turning around and heading towards the inn.
Feng Lin hesitated.
He seems to have never seen Xiao Liulang like this. Although he has always been indifferent, it will not be so cold that he dare not approach him. He is filled with a chilling hostility, as if he will do something in the next second. what a horrible thing.
"Six, Rokuro, wait for me!"
Feng Lin was afraid of returning, but he still chased after him.
Now he doesn't call him Brother Xiao anymore. Originally, he was older than Xiao Liulang. He was called Brother Xiao because Xiao Liulang saved him, it's just a respectful title.
But the two spent New Year's Eve together, and it was a strong friendship, and it would be unfamiliar to call Brother Xiao again!
Xiao Liulang was holding a cane, but Feng Lin couldn't walk as fast, and Feng Lin caught up with him after a while.
The two went back to the inn together.
Passing by a tea shop, two middle-aged men in brocade clothes came out of the tea shop, and one of them glanced at Xiao Liulang inadvertently. I didn't care at first, but Xu Yu seemed to realize something suddenly, and turned his head to look at Xiao Liulang.
At this time, Xiao Liulang and Feng Lin had already crossed the street and went to the inn opposite.
His eyes kept chasing Xiao Liulang's back until he completely disappeared on the street corner.
"Master Zhuang, what's the matter with you? Did you see someone you know? Would you like to go down and say hello?"
The person who asked the question was the Prefect of Pingcheng, surnamed Luo.
Zhuang Xianzhi shook his head: "No, I'm not an acquaintance of this official, it's just a bit similar."
The little Marquis was already dead. He personally dug out the body of the little Marquis from the ruins of the Guozijian. The corpse had been burned to a scorched corpse by the fire.
Or maybe, it's not a bit similar at all, but purely his dazzling eyes.
"Do you need to go down to confirm?" Seeing that Lord Zhuang seemed to be very concerned about the person who admitted his mistake, Luo Taishou couldn't help but ask to take a look for him.
Zhuang Xianzhi shook his head again: "No need, that old friend has passed away."
"Ah..." The dead don't need to be confirmed.
Xiao Liulang and Feng Lin returned to the inn, and as soon as they entered the door, they heard someone shouting: "Feng Dunzi!"
Feng Lin's hair exploded!
The shadow dominated by childhood jumped over his head in an instant!
He's not the guy he used to be!
He lost weight... he lost weight!
Feng Lin raised his eyes to look, and saw a young man who looked like a scholar rushed downstairs, came to Feng Lin, and said with a smile: "It's really you, Feng Dunzi! The change is so big that I almost didn't recognize him! Huh? He is Who is it?"
The young man's eyes fell on Xiao Liulang.
Xiao Liulang is better-looking than a woman when born, so people can't help but look at him more. And if you are not afraid of being beaten by Feng Lin, the young man just now was attracted by Xiao Liulang first, and then he noticed Feng Lin next to Xiao Liulang.
It took Feng Lin a long time to recognize the other party: "Du Ruohan?"
The young man smiled and patted Feng Lin on the shoulder: "It's me!"
"It's really you!" Feng Lin also smiled and introduced Xiao Liulang, "Liulang, do you still remember him? Little belly! The three of us went to a private school together when we were young!"
The young man looked at Xiao Liulang in disbelief and said to Feng Lin, "Are you mistaken? He is not Xiao Liulang!"
Feng Lin said firmly: "No mistake! It's Rokuro!"
The young man looked suspiciously at Xiao Liulang: "That... Xiao Liuzi who moved out after living for a year?"
Feng Lindao: "Yeah! It's him! It's been two years since he moved out, and your family moved away too! So, the three of us haven't seen each other for ten years."
The young man still felt that the other party was not Xiao Liulang.
He said to Feng Lin, "I can recognize you, why can't I recognize him?"
In fact, Feng Lin didn't recognize Xiao Liulang at first glance. It was only after seeing Xiao Liulang's guide that he knew that he was his childhood neighbor. In addition, Xiao Liulang saved his life, and he had no more identity for Xiao Liulang. Doubt.
As for Xiao Liulang not remembering the past, that's normal! It has been ten years, and Xiao Liulang was less than seven years old when he moved out. What can a six- or seven-year-old doll remember!
"That kid, he was very timid when he was a child, and always hid behind his mother."
Xiao Liulang went upstairs first, and the young man and Feng Lin followed in a low voice, and it was the young man who spoke.
"Rokuro is different now! He is brave! He even saved me!" Feng Lin said.
"It's different..." The young man glanced at Xiao Liulang's back, and always felt that the other party had the aura of a young master in the capital, and it was difficult for those who had never seen this kind of aura to detect.
"What's wrong with his legs?" The young man didn't have time to ask in front of Xiao Liulang.
"I was injured to save me half a year ago, and I'm being treated now." Feng Lin said with guilt, and asked, "By the way, where did you go after you moved out?"
"Going to the capital," said the young man.
Feng Lin's eyes widened: "You actually went to the capital?"
It was the place Feng Lin had dreamed of going, but unfortunately the capital was heavily guarded, and civilians like them would never be able to get a guide to the capital unless they went to Beijing to take the exam.
The young man said: "My aunt was a concubine in the capital and took over our family. Now, are you still envious?"
Feng Lin was silent.
The young man laughed: "I lied to you, let's go!"
The three of them had dinner together. From the young man's mouth, Feng Lin learned that he is currently studying in a famous academy in the capital. He was admitted as a scholar two years ago. .
The whole process was just a conversation between the young man and Feng Lin, and Xiao Liulang didn't talk much and didn't like to talk to anyone.
"This kid wasn't like this before..." After Xiao Liulang returned to the house, the young man grabbed Feng Lin and muttered.
Feng Lin said softly, "His mother and eldest brother have both passed away. These years have not been easy."
"Oh." The young man didn't say anything else. After a while, he changed the subject, "You're going to end this year, right? I'll be waiting for you in the capital!"
Feng Lin thought for a while and said, "I will end with Rokuro."
The young man curled his lips: "How do you know that he can pass the test? That kid's brain is not good, you forget that he is always scolded by the master?"
Even if he couldn't remember Xiao Liulang's appearance when he was a child, the young man did not forget Xiao Liulang's embarrassment. He is not stupid, but his reaction is slower than others. This kind of person can work, but study hard.
Feng Lin said sternly: "Liu Lang is different now. He has taken the examination for the desk. This time... Although the question is difficult this time, I believe he can be admitted to the scholar!"
The young man smirked: "I'll bet, he won't pass the test."
Feng Lin resolutely issued an expulsion order!
No one can look down on Xiao Liulang, not even his childhood friend!
The young man had no interest in begging, and was kicked out of the inn by Feng Lin. He lost the mood to hang out and returned to the prefect's mansion bored.
The guards of the prefect's mansion saw him and respectfully opened the door for him.
As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he was held in place by a stern shout: "Where did you go? I came back so late!"
The young man turned around embarrassedly, smiled, and said, "Hello, uncle. Didn't you go to approve the papers? It's over so soon?"
Inspector Zhuang said solemnly, "Don't change the subject! What about you, where did you go?"
The young man smiled dryly: "I met two neighbors who used to be in Songxian County, and I chatted with them for a while. I also ate dinner with them."
Inspector Zhuang said coldly: "Do you think I'll believe you if you say that? Are you doing something unethical again? I promised your aunt to bring you out, not for you to be idle! Come on! Lock me in the house! Without my order, he is not allowed to go out half a step!"
The young man shouted injustice: "I didn't! Uncle! I really went to meet my friends! They are staying at the Yuelai Inn! One is Feng Lin! The other is Xiao Liulang! Xiao Liulang is this year's candidate! You just finished the test today. Perverted exam questions! Your face has turned green! If you don't believe me, send someone to check!"
