Chapter 73

"This silly child dare not come here --" Luo Qi sighed softly with wet eyes. "From childhood, your brother and sister have hardly separated. I'm afraid I won't see you for a year or so. Where is she willing? "

"I understand." Li shepherd looked at the little girl's slightly shaking shoulder, his nose was sour and his voice was choking, and said, "it won't be that long. I'll be back soon. As I said, our school has a crane that can sit on people ----- I will raise a crane myself and fly back to see you every day. Eat breakfast at home and go to school. "

Luo Qi hit Li shepherd on the shoulder and said, "nonsense. How can you come back every day? The most important thing is to take care of your health and study hard. You can't let others look down on you. "

"Mom, I will." Li shepherd nodded solemnly.

"Aboard, aboard. If you don't get on the boat, you'll leave. " The boatman in short clothes shouted on the board.

This ship is a passenger ship. Except for a few tourists and merchants going to Tiandu, most of them are students like Li shepherd who want to go to Tiandu to study.

When their children went on a long journey, their parents, relatives and friends rushed to see them off.

Fenglin ferry is bustling with greetings, laughter and crying.

Li shepherd waved his hand and said, "Dad, mom, go back. I'm going aboard. "

"Shepherd" -- "Luo Qi held back her tears, loosened her son's hand and said," you should have lived a better life. Your parents are unable to give it to you. You must protect yourself from being bullied. If you come back after being wronged outside, your parents can support you all your life. "

"Mom, what are you talking about?" Li Shepherd said with a smile“ I'm glad I'm your son. I think I'm doing well now. And it will get better and better in the future. Don't worry, I'll be fine. "

Li shepherd knew that his parents couldn't leave without going. He looked at Li longed for one eye. The little girl still stood in place with her back to this side.

"Miss Li" -- "shepherd Li shouted to the distance," I'll miss you. "

He waved to Miss Li's back, turned and walked towards the board.

"Li shepherd" -- someone shouted, and a fast horse ran this way.

The sight of everyone on the shore was attracted by the man on the fast horse. A young man in Samurai clothes sat on the horse and shouted.

"Li shepherd, please wait a moment." The man rushed straight to Li shepherd, jumped up from his horse, arched his hands at Li shepherd, said respectfully, "the city Lord is coming to see you off. At this time, he has reached Shilin valley."

The whole audience was in an uproar.

"The city Lord wants to see Li shepherd off in person?"

"The city Lord is very kind to that Li shepherd, isn't he? Just because he got the first place in the Empire, he was rewarded with two thousand gold coins - --- is this money enough for him to use all his life? "

"Isn't that Li shepherd the son of the city Lord? Maybe it's an illegitimate child -- "

----------

Li shepherd was also slightly surprised and said, "the city Lord manages everything every day. You really don't have to come here specially."

Not only others doubted the relationship between the city Lord and himself, but also Li shepherd himself began to doubt.

After the results were announced, the mayor's office ordered the Jiangnan education department to send a reward of 2000 gold coins. After hearing the news, the whole Hubu lane was boiling. Many people who live there can't make so much money in their life, but Li shepherd got a lot of money just by passing an exam. No wonder people say that "there is a gold house in a book". Isn't that true in Li shepherd?

Now the city Lord has to come to see him off in person, which really moved Li shepherd. I have some friendship with your son, but your preferential treatment is too much, isn't it?

"That's a bad word." A big brown horse came running this way. On the horseback was a middle-aged man in a maroon scribe's uniform, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, wide face and beautiful beard.

A group of sergeants wearing black Samurai waist and long knife followed, escorting on both sides, Horseshoes in bursts, but neat and uniform. Sounds well-trained, not ordinary soldiers.

Bang---------

The middle-aged man jumped off his horse before he stopped running.

His feet stepped on the ground, giving people a feeling of stamping out a big hole in the earth.

"Choosing for the country is the top priority. Today, many candidates go to heaven to study and seek an official. As the head of a city, Yan should come and see them off. " When the middle-aged man spoke, he deliberately raised the volume so that all the people who saw him off on the shore could hear him.

"Are you the mayor of Jiangnan?" Li shepherd looked at the short but dignified man in front of him and asked timidly in his voice. This is the first time he has dealt with such a big man.

And this man has a sense of oppression that makes people look at him. It is difficult for ordinary people to look at him in the eyes.

"I'm Yan Bolai." Yan Bolai said with a smile. He was also looking at Li shepherd. He was tall and handsome, and his skin color was not as black as everyone said. His eyes are clear and he is neither shy nor shy when looking at himself. Confident and calm, but with a little vigilance.

"The city Lord personally came to see you off. The shepherd is really grateful." Li shepherd bowed deeply.

Other students also gathered around. Who doesn't want to find a chance to get in touch with the city Lord. Even if they go out to study now, they don't have to find a good job when they come back from school, do they? Nuo Da Jiangnan, what is better than working around the city Lord?

"The city master knows and loves talents. It's really a blessing for our students in Jiangnan."

"Thank the city Lord. We should study hard and sharpen our mind so that we can work hard for the city Lord in the future ----"

"Lord, please accept the students' ----"

---------

A send off action, a few simple words, moved and convinced many students.

Yan Bolai is unfathomable.

Yan Bolai was forthright and generous. He helped the kowtowing students and said with a laugh, "you are the Pearl of the south of the Yangtze River and the best person representing my image of the south of the Yangtze River. This trip to Tiandu is exactly the trend of carp leaping over the dragon's gate. I just hope you will not forget your hometown and come back to build this prosperous city in the south of the Yangtze River with me. "

Yan Bolai made a big move and drank, "come on, I'll have a drink with you young heroes."

The waiter distributed the prepared drinks to each candidate. Yan Bolai also picked up a big bowl and said loudly, "I wish you a safe journey and a bright future."

Yan Bolai drank the liquor in the bowl at once, and other students were also infected by his words and momentum. Everyone drank the liquor in the bowl with excitement and blood boiling.

Some guys who have heard a lot of chivalrous novels even learn from those Jianghu thieves. After drinking the wine, they smashed the bowl on the ground ----- when they saw the students around him looking at him for some reason, he turned red and ashamed.

"Out of my own pocket, I asked my family to prepare some pen and ink for you. Please don't dislike it." Yan Bo waved his hand, and the soldiers gave the four treasures of study that had been ready on the carriage to the candidates.

"Thank you, Lord."

"The city Lord really loves us ------"

"Lord, in three years, I will report to the Lord's house and let you drive me."

----------

Yan Bolai exchanged greetings with the crowd, then looked at Li shepherd and said, "XingKong school is not comparable to ordinary schools. Shepherd should be prepared?"

"Ready?" Li shepherd was stunned and said, "do you want to prepare anything?"

Yan Bolai didn't seem to be faking when he saw Li shepherd's expression. It seems that he really doesn't know the unknown. He laughed, patted shepherd Li on the shoulder and said, "it doesn't hurt. No harm. It's just that the road is a little difficult. It's no big deal. Since shepherds can be admitted to the starry sky, they can naturally climb to the top of the mountain -------- then, have a safe trip. "

"Thank you, Lord."

"If you are worthy of brother Xiangma, call me uncle --"

"Thank you, uncle." Li shepherd hesitated and complied with his meaning. Anyway, there is an uncle of the city master who doesn't suffer.

"Study hard and don't let everyone down."

Yan Bolai encouraged everyone a few more words, then jumped onto the horse's back and led a group of guards to rush towards the coming road.

Li Shepherd said goodbye to his parents again. When he looked at Li missing, the little girl also looked at him. When he found that she was seen through by Li shepherd, she waved a small fist at him, and then quickly turned away.

Li shepherd smiled and walked towards the building ship with the package and the four treasures of study newly sent by Yan Bolai.

Because Luo Qi was willing to spend money, Li shepherd had a second-class cabin on the ship.

It is said that the first-class cabin on the top floor has been contracted in advance, otherwise Luo Qi will spend money to get one for her son anyway.

The room is not big, but it's better than a single room. There is a small bed and then a small window. The window faces the direction of sunset lake and you can see the green waves there.

Li shepherd arranged his luggage and touched the gold coins sewn by his mother in his underwear - which Luo Qi strongly demanded. Li shepherd's strong opposition was null and void.

Can you imagine the heavy jingle in Li shepherd's crotch?

Fortunately, taking into account the inconvenience of walking, Luo Qi sewed only a part into it, and the others were divided into several small parts and placed in extremely hidden places. Even Li shepherd was worried that he would not find it.

After cleaning up, Li shepherd went to the front deck. The ship was about to leave, and the deck was full of people shouting goodbye to their relatives and friends on the shore.

Miss Li finally turned around. She stood with her parents and looked up at the deck.

She looked worried because she didn't see her brother Li shepherd.

"Miss, I'm here" -- "Li shepherd stood behind a fat man and waved to Miss Li vigorously“ Brother ----- brother ------ "Miss Li finally saw shepherd Li and shouted loudly“ I can't protect you anymore. You have to protect yourself. " The cable was untied and the building ship began to swim towards the center of the lake. Standing on the deck, Li shepherd looked at the family who were gradually away, and their fresh expressions finally turned into black spots. He felt that his heart had been dug out“ Goodbye, Jiangnan. " This novel has been translated by www.novelhall.com and if you are reading this somewhere, they have stolen our translation.
