At this time, a scent of flesh came from the room, and his nose twitched slightly, and he couldn't help swallowing.

After a few days, it was the imperial examination. My sister-in-law went to the town to cut some meat and came back to reward her. And these rare delicacies on weekdays are absolutely impossible to touch. They are all things that only my brother and sister-in-law can enjoy.

When he fed the pigs and chickens and went into the house to get the warm cakes in the morning, his brother, who had been sleeping soundly for half a morning, had just gotten up at this time. Compared to his round sister-in-law, his figure was even thinner. He casually put on a long gown, and his hair was messy and sleepy, and he walked out of the bedroom without looking at his younger brother who had just entered the house. He just sat at the table and shouted impatiently: "Where is the meat! Take it up! I want to eat meat!"

"Oh, here we come..."

My sister-in-law hurriedly brought the freshly cooked and hot broth from the kitchen, "Eat slowly, eat slowly..."

"Say..."

My brother ate two bites of meat, drank some soup, and smacked his lips. It seemed that he was a little satisfied. Then he remembered something and said, "Madam, my friends later asked me to go to the city to attend a poetry meeting. Please give me some silver. About three taels, no, five taels of silver."

My sister-in-law looked a little embarrassed: "Five liang? Why are there so many..."

For families like them, the cost of one or two taels of silver per month is at most, and the family’s wealth is not rich.

My brother tidied up his clothes, and his thin face showed a little unpleasant look: "The city is not as good as the countryside, and the cost of drinking a cup of tea is comparable to a meal! The friends I have made have always been generous. If I can't even afford to drink tea, how can I speak to them? If I don't attend those poetry meetings, how can I know the latest news about the imperial examinations, and how can I know the examiners' preferences for students?!"

"What do you know, a woman!"

Once it is related to the imperial examination, it is a big deal.

My sister-in-law didn't dare to say anything anymore. She hurried back to the room and took out the silver and handed it over to him. She turned her head and saw Su Yulong standing beside her. Her face changed suddenly. She pointed at her nose and cursed: "You guy isn't going out to work yet, stand here and wait to eat meat!"

Su Yulong was driven out to work, but he was used to being treated like this. He looked back at the bowl of leftover broth on the table, subconsciously pinched the thick cake in his hand, and the Adam's apple slid up and down.

He walked to the cowshed, skillfully untied the rope that tied the old cow and pulled it forward. The old cow followed him in a human nature.

The place where he took the old cow to eat grass was by a river outside the village. The grass was green and lush. The old cow could eat comfortably, and he could steal some free time and lie on the cow's back and read books.

This is his rare leisure time.

At this time, the riverside was as usual, with lush grass and gurgling water. Only a few village women were washing clothes by the river, and no one came to disturb his good time.

He subconsciously looked around but couldn't see the figure he was expecting. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his eyes. He turned around and patted the old ox on the back. The old ox really lay down obediently and only ate the grass beside him.

He sat on the ground, leaned against the old ox, took out a book that had been worn out from his arms, and followed the sunlight and was unknowingly immersed in his mind.

I don't know how long it took, but a small stone flew from somewhere and hit his head, making him wake up from the sea of ​​books in an instant. He was wondering who was so bad that he threw him with a stone, but when he looked up, he saw a pretty girl not far away in front of him looking at him with a smile. He couldn't help but be stunned, but then he couldn't help laughing.

"Are you herding cattle here again?"

The girl walked straight over without seeing her and said crisply, with a bit of cunning and joy flashing in her eyes.

Su Yulong nodded and looked at her quietly. He saw that she was wearing a light green skirt, and her appearance was still pretty and charming. The tassels tied with their hair were shining with a few rays of green light, which made her look unusual.

The two sat next to the old ox together. Although they were separated by some distance because of their reserve, they also had the intention of being close.

Although Su Yulong was still holding the book, his mind was no longer on the book at this time. His honest face turned slightly red. He didn't dare to look at the beautiful girl beside him. When he saw her small feet from the corner of his eyes, he would make his heart beat wildly.

"This old ox has helped our family work for a long time. Now that he is old, he can only eat these tender grass..." He gently stroked the old ox's horns.

This old ox was bought by his parents at that time from others' pictures, and it was already over its prime. Now, just working is more than twice his age, and it is hard to guess how long it has lived!

How can ordinary scalpers live so long?

But no one cared about this except him. Even my brother and sister-in-law didn't care about the age of this old ox. However, from time to time, they would make a decision to sell the ox that could not work to the butcher shop, or simply slaughter it and eat it by themselves.

If it weren't for the old cow's tears at that time, he couldn't bear it and knelt down and begged to keep it, he would probably have become a pile of beef.

"You are quite kind..."

The girl turned her head and looked at him with a smile. She also tried to reach out and gently touch the slightly uneven horns of the cow. She felt the unique feel and seemed to remember something, and said softly: "I heard that cows will be spiritual after living for a long time, and your cows are also very spiritual!"

Su Yulong smiled silly, but he remembered the scene when he first met this girl.

It was noon a month ago. He was reading as usual, but suddenly he heard a woman crying for help from the river!

"Someone fell into the water!"

He was shocked and hurriedly put down the book and looked up. Sure enough, he saw a figure rising and falling in the center of the river, and the sound of calling for help was intermittent. If he didn't go to save the person, he might die!

He felt anxious and jumped out of the river to save the person.

However, what he didn't expect was that the river was too fast during the rainy season. Although he grabbed the girl's arm with the water, he was constantly washed down by the water and could not reach the shore at all.

"Save me! Save me!" The girl was no longer conscious and just leaned against his arms and said weakly.

"It's okay, don't worry!"

Su Yulong was anxious, but he held the girl's petite body tightly again and couldn't help comforting her.

Unexpectedly, at this time, his ankle twitched, and a severe pain suddenly came into his brain, and his body began to sink involuntarily.

Thanks to the book friend "The Emperor of Heaven's Will" and "The Earth and the Sky" for the reward! There are many friends who have been rewarded these days, and the author is a little flattered. If you accidentally miss it, I will thank you here together! ps: I have a few words to say. I saw a comment saying that this book is a romantic in fairy tale...
