Tick, tick.

The sound of water drops sounded intermittently in this inn. On the Yulong River next to him, a moon shadow remained motionless, making the night... particularly calm.

There is no one.

This silence made Yu Qiao feel scared for no reason.

Tick, tick.

Water drops sounded one after another.

Yu Qiao swallowed, and he became more and more uneasy.

His eyes turned, but others dared not move.

Even though he knew that he was in a dream, this dream... was so real that it made his scalp numb.

"Yu Xiucai..."

Suddenly, a very light call appeared in Qiao's ears.

Yu Qiao trembled all over.

It's this shout again!

"Yu Xiucai..."

"Yu Xiucai..."

The call was originally far away from Yu Qiao, but with these two calls, they appeared behind him inexplicably.

Yu Qiao's body instantly stiffened.

He felt a cold wind, as if someone was blowing around his neck.

Yu Qiao subconsciously clenched his five fingers.

He really wanted to turn his head and punch the other person!

But...he dared not!

"You turn around and look at me, look at me..."

"Don't you remember me? Yu Xiucai..."

The person standing behind Qiao was murmuring. The sound was quite nice, just like a young girl muttering to himself in his ear.

Yu Qiao gritted his teeth and said nothing.

"Do you really don't remember me? It's me, Yun'er, Yu Xiucai, come and see me quickly! We have grown up together!"

The sound suddenly became choked, and a sad feeling was wrapped around people's hearts, making people feel pity, and they wished they could turn around and take the other person into their arms immediately.

However, Yu Qiao didn't move or speak.

"Yu Xiucai..." The voice called out again behind him.

Yu Qiaomu still said nothing, but this time, he turned around suddenly.

You can't bear it anymore, there is no need to endure it anymore.

"How many times have you told me that I am not a scholar, but my father is a scholar! The Yu Xiucai you are looking for, his name is Yu Shoutian, and he is my father!"

"My name is Yu Qiao!"

"And I don't have the fame of scholars, I'm just a child. I failed the provincial examination last year and failed!"

"Stop calling me Yu Xiucai, if you spread it, I will get whipped!"

These words were almost yelled by Yu Qiao.

After yelling, Yu Qiao was stunned.

Where is the person?

What about the person he imagined?

What Yu Qiao could see was the aisle in the inn. There was not a single figure on this aisle.

It was just like the girl's call just now, just his illusion.

But how can people develop auditory hallucinations in dreams?

He looked left and right.

Then, Yu Qiao woke up.

Just as he woke up, he had another nightmare that scared himself. Yu Qiao was a little confused at this moment.

But soon, he recovered.

Yu Qiao took a look at the thatched hut. The ground was muddy due to the heavy rain last night. The house was built on the downhill side of the mountain. The water flowed down and it disappeared directly.

But it is a blessing not to collapse.

Seeing this, Yu Qiao brought the cloth shoes placed at the end of the bed, shook them, put them on and off the floor.

This bed is just a few pieces of bamboo tied up, and it is padded at both ends to serve as a place to rest at night. These were not done by Yu Qiao, but were built by hunters at the foot of the mountain. Last night, he was windy and rainy, so he just took advantage.

After moving the bamboo and wooden door, Yu Qiao walked out.

The grass outside is lush and green. There is also a river at the foot of the mountain, with shimmering waves on the river. What are the traces left by a bug when it flies by.

This is part of Yulong River.

"Where is there any inn near Yulong River?" Yu Qiao thought of the nightmare he had had several consecutive times. When he saw this Yulong River, he couldn't help but mutter.

Then, Yu Qiao sighed.

The provincial examination is once a year, and this time he is rushing to take the provincial examination. Although he has not passed last year, he can continue to work hard this year.

However, compared with last year, he went to the provincial examination this time and had another task.

The task was given by his father.

On the way to the provincial examination, he went to a place and gave a few incense sticks to a girl named "Yun'er".

That place is not easy to find.

Because it was in the deep mountains and forests, and the family that originally lived there had already moved out, leaving only the ruins that were obviously ravaged by the fire.

Yu Qiao could know so clearly that naturally he found that place later.

I also saw a small lonely tomb with only a broken tombstone.

The head is covered with weeds.

Yu Qiao did not pull the weeds, but just took a few incense trees on this person and left as his father said.

After entering the mountain, Yu Qiao wanted to take advantage of the darkness to get out of the mountain and hurry up, but he didn't expect that the sky in the mountain was getting darker. Fortunately, he met two kind-hearted thin monks and took him out of the mountain.

Otherwise, when it darkens, he might be lost in the mountains and forests. If he is less lucky, he will even give the wild beasts in the mountains a full meal.

I just don’t know if he was always thinking about the relationship between the man named “Yun’er” and his father. It’s only been two consecutive days, and he heard someone calling him “Yu Xiucai” every night.

When Yu Qiao heard this title for the first time, he was scared to death.

Because the court's laws are strict and explicitly stipulate that those who have not passed the exam for the scholar's fame, or who have passed the exam but have not received the certificate issued by the court, others shall not call them scholars.

Otherwise, it would be considered to be more than the distance.

And the court’s punishment for those who transcend the rules is very strict!

Both the name and the name are punished!

"It's only three things. If I come tonight, it's probably because I've encountered something unclean." Yu Qiao thought so and glanced at his cuffs.

A few very small beads were exposed on the cuffs.

This is a string of rosary.

Yu Qiao does not recite the Buddha's name. On weekdays, he would just go to Yulong Temple in the county to worship Buddha, and then slap the swollen face and pretend to be fat. His heart was extremely painful, but he also pretended to be generous and threw a silver into the merit box.

Usually, for generous guests like him, the monks in Yulong Temple will give him a wooden comb.

But when he arrived that day, the wooden comb was gone.

So, the abbot of Yulong Temple gave Yu Qiao a string of rosary he carried with him.

However, what Yu Qiao's wrist was not the string given to him by the abbot of Yulong Temple. That night, when the two thin monks took him out of the mountain, one of the thin monks seemed to have a sharp weapon on his waist and accidentally cut off the rosary rope on Yu Qiao's wrist.

So the thin monk gave Yu Qiao the rosary he carried with him.

Yu Qiao didn't want to collect it, but as soon as he came, his rosary was not valuable. He would wear it by grinding ordinary wood, but he just wanted to use it to make good luck.

Before traveling with him, he would forward a koi before the exam.

Secondly, these two thin monks took him out of the mountain, didn’t they?
Chapter completed!
