Chapter 21 "What happened to Deng Si'er?"
Chu Jing shouted anxiously when he saw Deng Si'er.
Looking from a distance, Deng Si'er was the only one standing on the bank of the river waving to the two of them, but no one else appeared.
Zuo Chi and Chu Jing couldn't help but feel strange.
They originally thought that Deng Si'er suddenly screamed because he was attacked.
Since there was no one around Deng Si'er, why did he shout?
When Deng Si'er heard Chu Jing's shout, he turned around and waved to them, and then ran in the direction of the two of them.
When the three of them met, Zuo Chi looked at Deng Si'er's intact appearance and asked doubtfully: "What happened?
You shouted like this?"
Deng Si'er gasped and pointed his fingers behind him, and said in an unsteady tone: "Later, I was washing my hands by the river, and there was a person lying in the grass over there.
I was shocked.
The person was soaked all over.
I don't know if he was dead or not.
Go and have a look."
After Zuo Chi and Chu Jing heard this, they immediately walked around Deng Si'er and walked towards where he was pointing to take a look.
Deng Si'er also hurriedly followed, but did not get closer.
He just stood a little further away and stretched his neck to take a look.
It's good if you're not dead, but it's so unlucky to be dead.
After soaking in the river for who knows how long, Deng Si'er could still smell the strange smell emanating from a distance.
"Not dead yet" Zuo Chi checked for a moment and found that the man was not dead.
When he helped the man up, Chu Jing followed him to help.
Zuo Chi poured Qi into the man for a while, then put the man down and made him lie flat on the clean grass.
"Fortunately, it's nothing serious.
He just choked on the water.
I gave him some Qi.
He should wake up after a while."
After Zuo Chi finished speaking, he looked towards Deng Si'er.
Deng Si'er quickly turned his face away, thinking, I won't help you.
Seeing this, Zuo Chi could only focus on Chu Jing again and said: "Uncle Jing, can you help carry him to the fire?"
Chu Jing has been traveling around the world for many years, so he still doesn't mind this matter.
He nodded immediately, picked up the person on the ground, carried him on his back, and walked towards the fire they had set up before.
"Hey, Master Zuo."
When Deng Si'er saw Chu Jing walking past him carrying the unconscious man on his back, he turned to look at Zuo Chi and said with a silly smile, but with a flattering face.
Zuo Chi let out a soft "hum" in his nose and walked past Deng Si'er, ignoring him.
Along the way, Deng Si'er has always been lazy, and Zuo Chi and Chu Jing did all the hands-on work.
But Zuo Chi, as the son of a rich and powerful family, how could he do so many things?
So, basically, Chu Jing was taking care of the two of them all the way.
After getting along day and night, Zuo Chi and Deng Si'er's attitudes and psychology towards Chu Jing changed.
Not long after setting off, Deng Si'er had already changed his name to Chu Jing and called him "Uncle Jing".
Zuo Chi had always been uncomfortable calling him by his first name.
Under the influence of Deng Si'er, Zuo Chi luckily called Chu Jing along with Deng Si'er.
It's easy to understand once you get used to it.
"This guy seems kind, but he's a bit bookish."
Deng Si'er was sitting by the fire roasting sweet potatoes.
He turned his head and looked at the unconscious man.

The wet clothes had been changed, and his calmed down expression was pleasing to the eye.
"Maybe he is a scholar.
He may go to Beijing to take the exam and doesn't want to be in trouble."
Chu Jing also said.
"Xiucai" Deng Si'er was strange, and you can tell from this "Now that the autumn exams are coming, it's normal for students from all over the country to go to Beijing to take the exams.
But I don't know why he fell into the water for no reason.
If he hadn't met us, he would have been in trouble."
Zuo Chi nodded and continued.
Deng Si'er looked at Zuo Chi, then turned to look at Chu Jing.
The two of them sang in harmony and just talked to themselves.
He couldn't help but feel a little impatient, and shouted in a louder voice: "Why can't I see that he is a scholar?"
Zuo Chi was close to the unconscious man, so he stretched out his hand to slightly lift the man's right hand and said to Deng Si'er: "You see, there are calluses on his index finger and ring finger.
Although it is not thick, it is not thin either.
It must be caused by holding the brush for writing for a long time.
Moreover, you don't know the talent selection system of our dynasty.
Our dynasty is divided into spring examination and autumn examination. , the spring examination is the preliminary examination, and the autumn examination is the main examination.
Only those who pass the spring examination can participate in the autumn examination. " “It’s so troublesome” Listening to Zuo Chi's words, Deng Si'er felt that scholars are really not simple.
Unlike him, his father also sent him to a private school when he was a child, but Deng Si'er was so restless there that the people in the private school forcibly sent him back and refused to accept him.
"Uh huh cough cough" Suddenly there was movement in the unconscious man.
The three of them immediately turned their attention to the scholar who had just woken up.
"You guys ouch."
The scholar opened his eyes and saw Zuo Chi who was closest to him.
Just as he was about to sit up, he saw Deng Si'er and Chu Jing staring at him, and he fell back in fright.
"Who are you, don't kill me?"
the scholar said hurriedly in panic.
Zuo Chi was about to reach out to comfort him, but when he saw Zuo Chi's hand stretched out, he said hurriedly: "I didn't see anything from you, please don't kill me."
Zuo Chi frowned.
What did he see?
It would lead to death.
"Hey, let me tell you, you are a scholar after all, why do you tell lies as soon as you open your eyes?
We saved you with good intentions, and you still falsely accuse us."
Deng Si'er spoke angrily while using a wooden stick to pull out the sweet potatoes he had thrown into the fire before and gave them directly to the panic-stricken scholar.
"Oh, it burned me to death."
The scholar accidentally picked up a freshly baked sweet potato that was very hot, and kept switching it between his hands.
When he couldn't hold it anymore, he put it on the ground and blew into the red palms, which made his face angry. red.
When Deng Si'er saw this, he burst into laughter.
Seeing that this scholar was really pitiful, Chu Jing said in a gentle tone: "You don't have to be afraid.
We have no ill intentions and we won't kill you.
But you, who are so good, will be hunted down."
When the scholar saw that the three people in front of him did not look like the people who were chasing him, he lowered his guard slightly and said: "Thank you for saving me.
I'm sorry.
I seemed to have misunderstood you just now."
Deng Si'er saw that the scholar was dumbfounded when he spoke, so he stood up funny and walked over, picked up the roasted sweet potato that the scholar had just placed on the ground, put it in the scholar's hand, and said: "This is just the right moment, eat it while it's hot.
By the way, who are you and why are you being hunted?"
The scholar glanced at Deng Si'er gratefully, picked up the roasted sweet potato and broke it open.

He had been unconscious for an unknown period of time.
As soon as he smelled the aroma of the roasted sweet potato, he started to swallow before he started eating.
The scholar took a big bite, let out a sigh of satisfaction, then looked up at the three people in front of him and said: "My name is Du Qingyan.
I am a scholar who passed the spring examination in Tuzhou City.
I was planning to go to Beijing to take the exam and take part in the autumn examination."
After saying that, the scholar picked up the sweet potato and took a big bite.
Tuzhou Zuo Chi frowned, as if he thought of something, and asked: "Tuzhou said so, this is the academy you study in" Before he could swallow the sweet potato in his mouth, the scholar said vaguely: "Well, it's Chongyang Academy."
Deng Si'er was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Zuo Chi and Chu Jing, and saw that they both frowned.
Isn't Chongyang Academy the place they are heading to?
How could it be such a coincidence:
