The days slowly returned to calm.
Time kept passing by, Zhou Dagu looked up at the time on the wall, a little confused: "Oh, it's been twenty-four days!"
Bai Huahong has been gone for more than half a month.
These days, he also got news from Zhu Niu and the others.
On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Qingxue Mansion had already executed all the Lotus believers in the city and not one of them had been spared.
Zhou Dagu felt that this news was very important.
I am afraid that Mr. Guo Fu deliberately wrote this in the submitted document in order to make the text look good.
He didn't know the whereabouts of Bai Huahong, and there was no way to contact the two. He only hoped that she would be safe. This was the only thing Zhou Dagu could do.
He looked at the writing on the wall.
I have been off bathing for the past few days, not because of any festival.
Just because the day after tomorrow is the examination.
Zhou Dagu picked up the mung bean soup in front of him and drank it in one gulp.
The weather is slowly getting hotter, and Qingxue Mansion is close to the Liangjie Mountains. There are deserts on both sides of the Liangjie Mountains and there is a lack of water sources.
The special geographical location makes the summer in Qingxue Mansion even hotter.
Zhou Dagu is a Confucian scholar. He does not have the skills of those Taoist priests. He is not as good as the Confucian scholar who can make the temperature in winter and summer consistent with the state of calm water.
Zhou Dagu wiped the sweat from his face: "Brother Dian, Brother Dian!"
Xu Dian, who had been struggling to practice martial arts in the yard, was now sitting motionless under the shade of a tree. Zhu Xiaowu returned to Kyoto, Bai Huahong also left, and there was only the Zhou family in the yard.
However, before Zhu Xiaowu left, he asked Zhou Dagu about the story about Dou Qi Continent. As a reward, he left the deed of the small courtyard to Zhou Youran.
Xu Dian took his feet out of the basin and walked into the room swaying.
Summer is a physical experience for low-level warriors like them.
The energy and blood of the low-level warriors are rising, and in the hot summer, the temperature they perceive is higher than that of ordinary people.
"Brother Gu, why do you want me to go?"
The two had a life-long friendship, and Zhou Dagu did not hide it in front of Xu Dian: "Go to the drugstore and buy thirty kilograms of saltpeter."
In his previous life, Zhou Dagu had only heard that saltpeter was used to make ice. He really didn't know how much it was measured.
However, now that my family is not short of money, I will buy more and try it out slowly when I come back.
This is, if you have money, you will be happy!
Xu Dian nodded and walked out. He never liked to ask questions, and Brother Gu would not lie to himself.
Zhou Dagu continued to lean against the wall and read. He wanted to use the ocean of knowledge to calm his impetuous heart.
"Bang bang!" Someone knocked on the door.
Zhou Dagu was a little strange. Today, Wang An and his younger sister went to the mountains early to look for medicinal materials.
The little girl follows the experience of the drugstore shopkeeper and wants to find medicine.
Wang An, a boy, has had the experience of going to the mountains to find medicine since he was a child, so it would be most suitable for him to accompany him.
The two of them went out in the morning, and even if they came back today, they would have to wait until evening.
So who is knocking on the door now?
"Here, wait!" Zhou Dagu opened the door and saw a familiar figure: "Grandpa Third, why are you here now?"
The old man was carrying a rag bag, followed by two young men. Zhou Dagu looked back and saw a carriage with several watermelons on it.
"Tomorrow, you have an exam!"
"I'm thinking that you are a smart kid. As long as you are willing, you will definitely pass the exam!"
"You are admitted to the Juren Examination, but this is a big event for my Zhoujia Village. How can we not come to help!"
Seeing the old man say this, he looked at the smiling faces of the two young people behind him.
Zhou Dagu was relieved and didn't blame him for being mean.
Experience in his previous life told him that once a person suddenly gets rich, the first thing he should be wary of is the poor relatives in the village. Zhou Dagu can take the initiative to help his relatives in the village, but he does not want these people to hang on to him for the rest of his life.
Zhou Dagu quickly opened the door: "Quick, come in, it's so hot outside, come in and have a bowl of cold water!"
The third grandfather was driving the cart, and two young men were pushing behind him. It was hot and the old donkey kept sticking out his tongue, unable to exert much strength.
In this weather, animals are much more uncomfortable than people.
Zhou Dagu asked people to sit down, and the third grandfather of the Zhou family looked into the room: "I won't sit down anymore. Don't delay your reading. Xiaoshan Xiaoshu, look, this is your brother Dagu!"
"You should follow Brother Da Gu and study hard, and we will also take the exam in the future!"
Grandpa Zhou looked at Zhou Dagu and said, "After you became the head of the case, all the young and old men in our village sent their children to Master Zhu's private school. They thought so."
"The emergence of Zhou Mingzhou in the village will change the feng shui of our Zhoujia Village. Maybe with your literary talent, the children in our village will become more poetic!"
"If nothing else, even if you go to the battlefield, the scholar will stand much further back than the warrior, and he will have more chances to save his life in the future, don't you think so?"
Zhou Dagu nodded. He did not expect that he had affected the culture of learning in the entire Zhoujia Village.
"Okay, I'll go back and take a look after I do the exam!"
Grandpa Zhou Zhou nodded: "Look, look, your village has been cleaning up for you! I'm just waiting for you to go back and have a look. Then you can also tell these juniors how to study and how to study! Just say Tell me how hard you studied in the past!"
Zhou Dagu felt a little guilty. In his memory, he had never studied seriously before.
Grandpa Zhou Zhou watched the two boys unloading the watermelons on the ground and showed a proud smile: "This is the land your boy helped us get back. The watermelons grown on this land may not be big in size, but they are twice as sweet!"
"I'll cut one for you to try!"
Zhou Dagu took the knife from the kitchen.
As soon as I went out, I saw two boys driving the unwilling donkey. They took the donkey outside the shade of the tree and walked out the door.
"Third Grandpa, what are you doing? You came all the way and have been gone for a long time. Why don't you stay here for one night?"
Grandpa Zhou shook his head: "I am here to see you on behalf of the village. You will have an exam the day after tomorrow. Your success in the exam is more important than anything else. I am here to delay your reading!"
"Go back now and wait until it's evening when you get home, so you won't miss dinner at night!"
Zhou Dagu understood what he meant and didn't want to cause trouble to himself. This was the first time he felt the closeness of the clan. In the past, he just wanted to use these people, but now he really felt what it was like to be from the same clan.
"Then you take some money back and go like this..."
Grandpa Zhou looked serious: "I came here for your money? I want you to have a good future in the examination. Your ability to pass the examination is more important than anything else. Come here and bring some money back, what will it be like!"
"You've helped us enough!"
Grandpa Zhou took a step forward and then turned back: "Da Gu! If you pass the exam, will you really return to the village?"
"I'll definitely come back!"
Grandpa Zhou nodded. What happened to Zhou Wu's second brother Zhou Wen broke the hearts of the elderly in the village.
Zhou Wu and Zhou Wen's parents died early, and they grew up eating the food of hundreds of families. Zhou Wen came to Qingxue Mansion to study with the money paid by the villagers. Who knew that this kid only went back once after he was admitted to the Jinshi.
That time, he took away Zhou Dagu's second brother, left ten taels of silver to the village, and never went back.
The consequences brought about by Zhou Wen can only be borne by Zhou Wu.
Therefore, their house was built by the river, outside Zhoujia Village, but closely adjacent to Zhoujia Village.
Grandpa Zhou took out a rag garment from his rag bag on Wednesday and said, "This is a garment made by a family in our village using a piece of cloth. It is a blessing from every household in our village, hoping that your boy will have a good future in the exam!" "
Grandpa Zhou Zhou lowered his head: "It's okay that I didn't see Youran. I was sorry for her at the beginning, but we are really worthy of you, kid. If I don't let Youran get married, I don't know what Wang will do to you!"
"At that time, the Zhou Wu family was really the only one in our village!"
Zhou Dagu nodded. He understood that standing on the land of Da Sheng, he could use his knowledge to change the world, but he could not use his own three views to see the world.
This is unfair.
He stepped forward to catch Bai Nayi and nodded heavily: "Don't worry, I will definitely go back!"
The old man smiled on Wednesday, drove the car, and walked slowly!
Zhou Dagu's mood was complicated. He didn't want to be a responsible person, but he was burdened with too many responsibilities due to lack of clarity.
He closed the door and walked into the room. As soon as he sat down, there was a rapid knock on the door.
Zhou Dagu was a little strange: "Third Grandpa, what did you forget?"
"Yes, is Zhou Langjun at home?" An old voice shouted outside: "Your nursing home has killed someone!"
