Chapter 59
Shi Hua asked nervously: "Were you bitten?"
Hearing the sound, Xie Ling looked down and saw that her waist was indeed stained with fresh blood, so she smiled and replied: "No, this is the dog's blood."
Xu Wei on the side jumped down from the branch, looked at Xie Ling's eyes sparkling, and praised sincerely: "Brother Ling, how did you beat that beast away? So awesome!"
Xie Ling just smiled faintly and looked at him: "Want to know?"
Xu Wei nodded repeatedly, and Xie Ling said: "Stretch out your hand."
Although Xu Wei didn't understand what he meant, he still did as he was told and stretched out his hand towards Xie Ling. Xie Ling put something on his palm, which was cold and heavy.
Xu Wei was startled, feeling that it felt sticky to the touch. He couldn't help but move closer to the lantern to take a look, but it turned out to be a dagger, covered with dark red blood, and the edge of the blade was reflecting a cold light! Xu Wei gasped.
And Xie Ling did use this dagger to stab the vicious dog, causing it to flee in panic. On a rainy night when he was eight years old, he dragged Shi Hua out of the Su Mansion, but was attacked on the way, and Shi Hua was seriously injured. , since then, Xie Ling has been carrying small sharp weapons with him. At first it was a sharpened bamboo stick, and later it was a dagger. He specially asked Chen Fu to help him get it. It was a very small one, polished brightly, about the size of a dagger. It is two fingers wide and one and a half fingers long, and can be easily hidden in the belt.
Chen Fu once said with a smile that it was a child's plaything, but Xie Ling didn't take it seriously. Although the dagger was small, it was sharp enough. As long as you saw the right moment, you could defeat the enemy with just one strike!
Xu Wei held the dagger and was shocked for a long time: "Brother Ling, you are a scholar, and you still carry this with you?"
Xie Ling said calmly: "Even scholars will be in danger sometimes. With this thing, it may be possible to catch them by surprise and relieve the crisis."
Xu Wei responded repeatedly, with a hint of reverence in his eyes. Shi Hua's gaze gently passed over the dagger still stained with blood, and then looked at Xie Ling, only to see that most of his face was hidden in the darkness. Deep and gentle, he said: "Ajiu, are your legs numb?"
Shi Hua moved her legs, but they were completely disobedient. This is why Xu Wei jumped down early, but she was still squatting on the tree. She was afraid of falling down the tree.
When Xie Ling saw it, she took a step forward, reached out and hugged Shi Hua down. Shi Hua was shocked and refused in a low voice: "Let me go."
Xie Ling paused for a moment, looked down at Shi Hua's eyes, and said, "I will let you down when your legs are no longer numb."
Shi Hua pursed her lips, because in the young man's arms, her breath was filled with the light fragrance of ink, which smelled very good, but at this moment it almost made her breathless. She said coldly: "Put me down." , it will be fine after a while."
Xie Ling didn't move, just hugged her and said stubbornly: "Then just wait."
Shi Hua suddenly looked up at him, frowning. Xie Ling did not avoid him, but just shouted in a low voice: "Ajiu."
As if pleading, Xu Wei on the side didn't know what was going on, but just helped stupidly: "Sister Hua'er, let Brother Ling carry you and walk. It's too late, the road is not safe, and our lanterns are not very bright." , what if the vicious dog just killed me again?"
As he spoke, he chuckled again and said, "Besides, no one else saw me except me along the way, so what's there to be embarrassed about?"
Hearing this, Shi Hua closed her eyes. She tried her best not to show any abnormality and said quietly: "Let's go."
She compromised and didn't see the tenderness and pity flashing in Xie Ling's eyes.
Xie Ling tightened her arms slightly, then Xu Wei held the lantern, and the two quickly walked towards Suyang City.
Halfway through the journey, Shi Hua's legs were no longer numb. She only said one word, and Xie Ling put her down and looked at her deeply. The emotions in his eyes were so complicated that Shi Hua subconsciously After getting out of the way, as if he hadn't noticed at all, Xie Ling slowly straightened up and said in a normal tone: "Let's go."
The three of them went back to Xuanhutang first. Lin Hanshui and his family were waiting for them to come back for dinner. Xu Wei immediately told the story of tonight in a more embellished way, which made Lin Bubo and others worried.
Lin Bubo thought for a while and said, "Hua'er, from now on, you should stop visiting the doctor after dusk."
As he spoke, he looked at Lin Hanshui again and warned, "You will be responsible for all medical visits after dusk. Do you understand?"
Lin Hanshui quickly responded: "Yes, father, I understand."
Shi Hua also knew that Lin?, asked casually: "When did you become a scholar?"
Xie Ling replied respectfully: "The twenty-sixth year of Xuanhe."
This time, Yan Chong was surprised. He turned his gaze on him and looked at him: "So, you became a scholar at the age of thirteen?"
"My lord, that's right."
The Great Qian Dynasty always valued literature and promoted imperial examinations. Every year in the year of the rural examination, thousands of candidates would come from various counties to take the examination. However, the rural examination only happened once every three years, and not everyone could attend. , there are three more examinations before the rural examination, namely the county examination, the provincial examination and the courtyard examination. Only those who go all the way until they pass the courtyard examination and become a scholar can participate in the township examination.
Although there are seven to eight hundred people taking part in the provincial examination this time, there are many more who are not even qualified to take part in the examination! Some students spend their whole lives taking the Children's Examination, until their beard and hair are all white and wrinkled, and they still linger outside the Gongyuan, unable to enter.
" And Xie Ling was selected as a scholar at the age of thirteen, and took the provincial examination at the age of sixteen. He was already very young. It is impossible to praise a young talent too much.
However, as the examiner, Yan Chong naturally would not say this out loud. He nodded and said happily: "Not bad."
In just a few words, this young scholar left a good impression on the examiner Yan Chong. As soon as the inspection was over, Xie Ling said goodbye respectfully and was taken by a police officer to the direction of the dormitory. .
