    Du Heng is weakly wilting on the ground of the ancestral hall at this moment. The ground is paved with blue bricks. Because the ancestral hall is usually closed with two doors except for festivals and ancestor worship.  It's cold, damp, and the gaps between the green bricks are covered with moss. If you walk on it without paying attention, you will fall on your back.  The hall is only lit by an oil lamp, and the table of the gods is densely packed with tablets of the ancestors of the Du family, including Du Heng's grandfather, great-grandfather, great-great-grandfather, and even ancestors as far back as the Ming Dynasty.  In one of the inconspicuous corners, there is a small tablet of his mother "Du Wangshi".

    The ancestral hall under the shadow of the lonely lights is gloomy. If Du Heng hadn't relied on the big mouthful of blood in his chest and the support of his mother's tablet, he really couldn't bear it.

    Every day, Du Heng, who is tied up with five flowers, would draw a line on the blue brick with his fingernails, and there are already four lines when he touches it with his hand, which means that he has not exhausted the grains except for the clear water for four days.  He vaguely remembered reading in a book that "If a person does not eat and drink only water, he can last for a month, and if he does not eat and drink, he can last up to seven days."  Young and in good health, if you don't eat, you can't persist for at least 20 days?  With the determination to win, you must persevere!  He secretly said to himself.

    On the fourth day, he felt that his cheeks had collapsed a bit, and when he touched his legs, he could feel that he was touching a firewood stick.  He endured hunger, let his stomach gurgle loudly, and just closed his eyes and leaned against the wall to sleep.

    On the fifth day, he felt that he had almost reached the peak of what his heart could bear.  The stomach is empty, drink water and shake the stomach, you can hear the water swaying empty.  It even shook Du Heng a little bit to the ground.  That night he dreamed of his mother, who seemed to be a little unclear. She cried and said to Du Heng: "Heng'er, you are still young, and you still have a lot of good days to live. Mother is still waiting for your high school champion."  Good news!" After finishing speaking, the mother turned around and walked away, further and further away, faster and faster, Du Heng hurriedly chased after her, but she couldn't retreat

    Du Heng woke up suddenly from his dream, still muttering: "Mother, mother!" When he woke up, he suddenly remembered his study tour agreement with Ding Erkang.

    yes!  I was so preoccupied with fighting with my father that I forgot about the agreement on the study tour.  It was agreed that there would be a meeting between Nanma Village and Ding Erkang in seven days. Du Heng hurriedly felt the roads on the ground, and there were six roads, which proved that six days had passed.  Including the four days of accompanying my father to show off to the banquet, the total is ten days.

    Du Heng sighed heavily, but luckily it was only delayed for three days.

    He has wanted to go to Shanyang County for a long time, and they all say that birds of a feather flock together and people are divided into groups. He and Ding Erkang are like that. The same hobbies and the same ideals brought them together.  Therefore, like Ding Erkang, he wanted to go to Shanyang County as eagerly as possible to get close to the places where the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove" lived and feel their breath, heartbeat and blood.

    So, he decided to "break out of jail".

    Du Heng was tied up and thrown into the ancestral hall. How to get rid of the rope was the top priority. He looked around and found that the ancestral hall had no tools to file the rope except for the green bricks and the wooden door.  At that time, the dim lights were dancing, Du Heng gritted his teeth, and leaned the rope that bound his hands against the light, "Don't care about it, as long as you can get away, what's the point of getting a little injury?"

    The Qiongqiong lights burned the rope little by little, and also took the flesh on Du Heng's wrist.  Du Heng gritted his teeth and persisted, and finally, the rope was burnt.

    Du Heng quickly untied the other knots with his free hands.  After being untied, Du Heng came to his mother's tablet. He knelt down and said to the tablet: "Mother, my son is unfilial and disobedient to his father, but my son will not regret it, and my son cannot follow your old path. Today, the child must fight for himself.  My little heart is willing to fight once, and the child will come to plead guilty with mother again in a month!"

    The door of the ancestral hall was plugged in from the outside. Du Heng tried to use a wooden stick to pick the door, and when he picked it, he opened it easily.  It turned out that Du Zhifu never expected that Du Heng would run away, besides, Du Heng was also tied up by Wu Hua Da, and he just pretended to stick in the door.  Du Heng slipped back to his room, hurriedly packed his clothes and money, and slipped out of Du's mansion through a side door while there was no one around.

    After walking two streets on tiptoe, Du Heng's gripping heart finally relaxed.  He walked quickly to Huanghua Street, his stomach that had been hungry for six days really needed to be comforted.

    When he came to the "Dechun jelly" stall, he ordered two servings of fried jelly. In fact, he felt that it should be no problem to eat five servings, but he is a scholar.  There are only blessings that you can¡¯t enjoy!¡± It¡¯s easier to starve to death than to starve to death, it takes dozens of days to starve to death, and one meal is enough.

    "Dechun fried jelly" is the one that made Ding Erkang suffer fifty boardsstuff.  Dechun fried jelly, white in color, crystal clear, tender and refreshing.  There is a poem praising: "Ice-cold scraping strips leak through the fish, and the teeth are crystal clear and cold. The flavor is as strong as you want, just cool it and don't care about the acid." There are many kinds of fried jelly, which are diluted with mung bean starch and appropriate amount of water to form a paste.  Condensate into blocks, then cut into mahjong-sized cubes, fry with local sesame oil, bake until soft and hard, add garlic and secret seasoning, put a spoonful of thick homemade sesame sauce after it is out of the pan, put  Adding mature vinegar, it tastes very refreshing and has a strong fragrance.

    Du Heng also liked to eat it, and he often ate it with Ding Erkang when the academy was on vacation.  There are two servings for each of the two people. They are just tall and tall young men. Two servings of stir-fried jelly noodles are topped with thick sesame sauce and aged vinegar from Ninghuafu.  It was often seen that the two of them walked squarely with their full bellies, with sesame paste hanging from the corners of their mouths, belching full, and returning to the academy with satisfaction.

    Du Heng finished eating the fried jelly, wiped his mouth, and stood up with the aftertaste.  He just remembered now that he still needs to find out the route to Nan Ma.  It was also the first time for him to go out for a long time.

    He came to Huai Tan Academy, the place where he lived for four years.  He knew that he could always find what he was looking for here.

    As soon as he knocked on the door, the concierge recognized him and said, "Young Master Du, have you revisited the old place? I will go to the provincial college in the future, so don't forget about our small college!" Du Heng felt very kind when he heard it,  He hurriedly replied: "Where, where, no matter where I go, I am a member of our Huai Tan Academy, don't worry! Is our dean there?"

    The concierge said: "The dean is in the study, go find him yourself!"

    As he spoke, he put Du Heng in.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
