"But a tiger that is about to become a monster, even if it has not yet turned on its spiritual intelligence, should not still have animal instincts. How can it block the road and eat people in Fengping Mountain?" Shen Ying was a little curious, "And those hunters have been in the mountain for three days. Still safe and sound?"
You know, the nose of a tiger who is about to become a monster is not ordinary. Those hunters who wanted to hunt tigers must have set a trap. How could the tiger not run into them?
Hou Ping scratched his head, "I don't know this either? How about I go and ask?"
"No, I'm just curious. If those hunters don't die, they're going to die. What do they know?" Shen Ying shook her head.
"Oh." Hou Ping nodded repeatedly, touched the back of his head, and said with a smile, "Then I will go back to the temple to help."
"Go ahead, go ahead." Shen Ying said.
When Hou Ping heard this, he happily ran away carrying the stick.
"After all, I'm still a monkey with an unstable mind. I have to stay in the temple for a while." Shen Ying said with a smile.
The two of them stood side by side not far away from the Peach Blossom Temple, watching the incense in the temple flourishing. Then they saw Zhao Wenrong and his party also came to offer incense and pray, contributing a wisp of incense.
…
After having dinner at Taohua Manor at noon, he played a few games with Shen Ying in the afternoon, and after dinner in the evening, Lu Zheng wanted to go back to the city, but Shen Ying reached out to hold him back.
"Lu Lang, you arranged flowers for me in the morning. Now that it's night, how about enjoying the flowers with me?"
Shen Ying kindly invited her, so Lu Zheng stayed at Peach Blossom Villa for another night and enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the peach blossoms in bloom.
…
The next day, Lu Zheng got up early in the morning and was helped by Shen Ying to wash up. He was about to return to Tonglin County. As soon as he went out, he ran into Zhu Yushan and Li Hanyu.
"Brother! Madam, sister-in-law!"
Lu Zheng said hello and found that Li Hanyu's expression was fine, but Zhu Yushan's expression was not natural.
"Brother Lu, hello, Madam-in-law." Zhu Yushan bowed his hands.
Li Hanyu took two steps forward, smiled and took Shen Ying's hand, "We wanted to relax, so we are here to bother you again. Don't dislike it, sister."
"Sister, what are you talking about? It's hard for me to leave Taohuaping on weekdays. I wish my sister would come and play with me every day." Shen Ying smiled, then turned to look at Zhu Yushan, "Could it be..."
Lu Zheng blinked and suddenly realized that the local exam had just passed, so he suddenly looked at Zhu Yushan, "Brother Zhu, you..."
"well--"
Zhu Yushan let out a long sigh, "I missed the exam again."
Shen Ying, "..."
Lu Zheng, "..."
"Why this time?" Lu Zheng couldn't help but ask.
Let’s not talk about being an ordinary person before, but now Zhu Yushan has achieved success in practice. Last time he was in seclusion and forgot about the time. What’s the reason this time?
Zhu Yushan didn't speak, so Li Hanyu could only explain, "There was a flood a while ago, and my husband helped my father stabilize the Lu River. Later, he had a fight with several monsters who made trouble. Until the Lu River stabilized not long ago, Sanjiang Road asked for help.
My father could not move lightly, so my husband and I took a hundred sailors to support us. As a result, we were delayed on our way there. We did not return until the flood in Sanjiang Road was completely over.
As a result, the day we returned was the day when the state examination started, and when we came back, it was already evening..."
Lu Zheng, "..."
Shen Ying, "..."
"Brother Zhu, my condolences!" Lu Zheng patted Zhu Yushan on the shoulder, "Let's make a comeback next year today!"
Zhu Yushan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he still nodded, "Thank you, I'm not too sad, I'm used to it."
After a pause, Zhu Yushan continued, "I don't believe it. The Great Jing Dynasty can still be prosperous every year. If we continue next year, I don't believe I can't be a scholar!"
"Have ambition!" Lu Zheng gave a thumbs up.
Zhu Yushan, "..."
He thought that Zhu Yushan had brocade in his chest, poems and books in his belly, and his outstanding literary talent was famous in Yizhou Prefecture. But now he said that he wanted to be a scholar and he became ambitious?
I damn...I really really want to be admitted as a scholar...
Li Hanyu couldn't help laughing, "So my father asked us to come out to relax, and my mother also came with us. She just went to Renxintang and was having a consultation with the Liu family girl."
Speaking of this, Li Hanyu's tone couldn't help but be full of admiration, "The Liu family girl is really kind-hearted and beautiful, and the golden light of her merits is really enviable."
Zhu Yushan and his wife came to relax, so Lu Zheng naturally couldn't say goodbye and leave. Besides, he was fine, so he didn't mention leaving.
As for how to relax...
Is there anything more relaxing than playing mahjong?
There's nothing that one round of mahjong can't solve. If not, then two.
"Two barrels!"
"eat!"
"Shichijo!"
"bump!"
"fifty thousand!"
"What a fool!"
Li Hanyu showed the remaining four cards in front of him and said with a smile, "I'm sorry for being stupid again, fifty or seventy thousand, give me money."
Zhu Yushan looked at the less than ten copper coins left in front of him, and then looked at the copper coins of different sizes on the sides of Lu Zheng, Shen Ying and Li Hanyu, but they were almost piled into one piece.
Zhu Yushan, "..."
Xiaocui carefully added some tea to Zhu Yushan, "Master Zhu, drink tea to calm down your anger. As the saying goes, you won't lose if you don't leave the gambling table. You'll be lucky and come back next time."
"I'm going to make trouble..."
Zhu Yushan paused and took a deep breath, "Yes, come back!"
…
An hour later, Zhu Yushan lost all the money he had received from Xiaocui in exchange for a thousand coins.
"Sir, miss, lunch is ready. How about we eat first?" Xiaocui said outside the door.
"Okay, let's eat first!"
…
Playing mahjong is actually a very time-consuming entertainment activity. Li Hanyu feels that he has just entered the state and the day is over.
However, Zhu Yushan's mood was obviously much better, because his luck seemed to have changed in the afternoon, and the speed of losing money had slowed down a lot, and he could even mess up a game from time to time.
Zhu Yushan expressed satisfaction, which showed that he was not unlucky.
If this is the case, it means that my chances next year will be great!
The four of them fought until Youshi, when even the tourists in Taohuaping went home, they finally breathed a sigh of relief and ended today's battle.
"Comfortable……"
Li Hanyu pushed the mahjong in front of him away, stood up and stretched, "It's getting late, we should go back."
Zhu Yushan nodded, and just as he was about to speak, he saw Shen Ying's expression change.
At the same time, a tiger roar sounded not far to the south.
"Tiger?" Zhu Yushan was stunned.
"Tiger demon!" Li Hanyu said immediately, "How could a tiger demon come to attack! So bold?"
The next moment, a loud roar sounded, and a wave of evil spirit rose into the sky from the Peach Blossom Temple.
"Hou Ping!"
