The road leading to the county town is a dirt road, with dust flying on sunny days and muddy on rainy days. Because there are small villages like Lijia Village along the way, it is not well maintained. The car is bouncing and bouncing on it. It is not comfortable to ride a car than walking. However, Li Xian's wife is very happy. The car is covered with soft quilts, and the driver walks slowly and the bumps are not very violent, so the three dandy are excited to sit on it.

"Drive! Children, hurry up!" The Li brothers stood in the car, and followed the car with great might and shouted loudly, and a general scolded the style of soldiers. This was also a game that the teenagers liked to play.

Li, who was sitting under the car parasol, smiled indulgently, watching his sons jumping around in the car, with a full face full of pride.

The servants who followed were all long-term workers of the Li family. Senior households who had signed a contract for sale were tied to the Li family for the rest of their lives. Naturally, they did not dare to rebel against the young men and laughed with them, but Changsun Hong ignored them carelessly.

"What are the books in these three little turtles? It's so heavy!" Changsun Hong complained in his heart, tightening the bookcase on his back. The heavy bookcase pressed him very uncomfortable. He looked at the carriage and wanted to throw the bookcase on it: "Anyway, they don't read books, so why not throw some secretly away. The road is still long, and the heavy load of the bookcase will affect my development."

The bookcase is a square woven rattan. It cannot be seen from the outside. Some of it is thrown away, and no one noticed it. So Changsun Hong had this idea. The mother of the Li brothers, the mistress of the Li family, was still sitting in the carriage. With her, Changsun Hong could not be too presumptuous, so he could only think about it and dare not take it seriously to put the bookcase on the carriage.

He looked at the dog walking beside him. The boy who grew up with hardships seemed to feel tired. The heavy bookcase pressed on his back felt as relaxed as playing. Think about it carefully. This boy carried dozens of kilograms of firewood up the mountain and downhill every day. A bookcase was really nothing to him.

Gouzi looked around and looked at the scenery along the road, and was extremely excited. He had very few opportunities to go to the county town, and everything felt fresh.

"Erlang, Erlang, look, look, there is a bridge there, it is a stone bridge, it is a wooden bridge in our village, and it is a stone bridge there."

"Erlang, Erlang, look, look, wow, there is a theater troupe passing by, it's really a theater troupe! I don't know which village to go to, alas, it's a pity we can't see it."

"Erlang, Erlang..."

The dog's mouth was like a large trumpet, and the whisper of Balabala was endless, which made Changsun Hong's ears unable to bear it. He could only tell this brother who had never seen the world: "Don't worry, Gouzi, we have time to read the things in the county town, so don't make trouble now, can you save some energy? Aren't you tired? Why don't you memorize some books for me?"

Before the dog could answer, he saw a person next to him squeezed over, put a bookcase on the dog's back, and said with a big thorn: "Help me memorize the book? OK, help me recite it. After walking the way, I'm tired."

Changsun Hong frowned, felt a little angry, but smiled on his face.

This reckless and rude person is nothing but a servant in the Li family. Li Jin, who often teases Changsun Hong, is smart and pleasing to behave well. He is very popular with the Li family. It just so happened that Li Chongjin lacks a book boy, so he lets him come.

He was nearly eighteen years old, one head taller than Changsun Hong and Gouzi, but he shamelessly handed over heavy objects to the younger ones, which was indeed too much.

Li Jin himself didn't think that he was well-behaved in front of the Li family and was dirty behind the crowd. He always used to bullying people who were inferior to him. He didn't think anything was wrong. He was the Taoist Sun Hong and Gouzi who were arrested as servants. He entered the Li Mansion earlier than them. Of course, he had much higher qualifications and could be used.

The bookcase on the dog's back was heavy, and the two bookshelf pressed against him, making his body more and more disproportionate. The rest of the people were all silly neighbors, so they naturally didn't care and walked over to the three of them silently.

"Brother Li Jin is tired?" Changsun Hong said with a smile, without a slight expression of anger: "Leave the bookcase to us."

The dog stared at him, smiling, thinking something was wrong. It was me who was in charge of the bookcase. Why did Changsun Hong say this?

Li Jin shook his arm and didn't look back. He walked and said, "Then I'll be working hard. Oh, I haven't done heavy work for a long time and I've walked far. I can't stand this shoulder. I'll ask you all about the things that the young masters do in the future. Do you know?"

"I know, I know, we can save it." Changsun Hong said with a smile, and he pulled the dog to slow down and walked to the end of the team.

At this moment, I happened to walk on the stone bridge that Gouzi had just called Changsun Hong to see. The stone bridge was exquisite, a stone bridge with arched moon, curved like a bright moon on the river. The bridge deck was covered with bluestone slabs, and stones were blocked on both sides. Lying on the stone, you could see the clear river surface below, fish wandering in the water, reeds rippling on both sides, and fishermen fishing under the bridge, which was a beautiful scenery of the small bridge.

Changsun Hong looked at the rear of no one in front of him, and Li Jin was walking forward lightly, so he stretched out one hand and pulled Li Jin's bookcase off the dog's back, throwing it down on the bridge without blinking.

With a "pop", the bookcase fell into the water in an arc, splashing a big splash of water.

Gouzi looked at Changsun Hong with shock, not understanding why, then saw his face change, he raised his throat and shouted: "Oh no!!!"

The sound was like a loud bell, calling everyone back.

"Brother Li Jin dropped the bookcase into the river!" Changsun Hong's face changed into a panic expression, pulled Li Jin's sleeve and shouted: "Oh no, no!"

When everyone heard the sound, they looked into the river and saw the vine box sinking and floating in the water, rising and falling, floating downstream along the river.

Li Jin's face turned white and white. How could he drop the bookcase into the river? This is what Changsun Hong is calling for catching the thief.

"You, you, you!!!" Li Jin's face turned red and his neck was thick, and he roared in anger. He was about to defend himself, but he heard a scream from the front.

"Li Jin, you idiot, what are you doing?" This is the voice of Li Chongjin, the little fat man. The bookcase belongs to him. Of course, he was most anxious: "You can't do this well, are you stupid?"

"No, young master, it's Changsun Hong..." Li Jin pointed at Changsun Hong, wanted to argue but didn't know what to say, and stammered: "It was him who threw the bookcase down."

Changsun Hong blinked his eyes and stepped forward to Li Chongjin and said, "Young Master Li can see that your bookcase has always been Li Jin's back. How could I throw it down the river? He is your book boy, I am not."

He didn't even wipe his lips, and said in a low voice with a serious expression: "Brother Li Jin wanted to lean on the bridge railing for a while, but he didn't pay attention, and the bookcase took off and fell down. This was what I and I saw, and there would be no mistake."

Li Chongjin was immediately angry and jumped in the car: "You are so stupid! Why don't you go down the river quickly and fish the bookcase up. There is a book missing. I will let you go without eating!"

Li in the car also frowned and said something to the butler who was driving the car. The butler nodded repeatedly, jumped out of the car, and ran to Li Jin, who was angry and was about to defend himself for a few more words. "She" means two big-eared shaves.

Li Jin was so beaten that he turned dizzy, and was kicked into the water by the butler.

"Catch it up quickly, or you will be beaten to death!" The butler is the second butler of the Li family. He was originally a relative of Li and a person who directly managed the servants. As soon as he took action, he was cruel.

Li Jin was beaten unjustly, and inexplicably fell into the water and took the blame. He had nowhere to be explained. He blew in the water a few times, wiped the water from his face and looked at the bridge a few times. He saw Changsun Hong lying on the bridge and laughing at him. His injustice and anger almost boiled the river of water, but the second housekeeper's fierce face lay beside Changsun Hong, and he was still shouting: "Cake it up!" He had no choice but to chase the book box that was floating along the water.

"Don't worry about him, he will catch up by himself. Let's continue on the road. Don't miss the time. There is still a section of road in the next county." Li said in the car, and everyone agreed and drove the car and left again.

The gouzi had been standing by the side just now, and then he came to Changsun Hong while walking. His expression of admiration and worship was engraved on his face and said to Changsun Hong: "Erlang, you just lie, and your face has not changed. It's natural. It's so awesome!"

Changsun Hong whistled, relaxed and stretched out his hand to the void, and smiled and said, "It is very important to hit a fly and let it know in the future that we are not easy to mess with. Otherwise, this guy in the county will always provoke us, wouldn't he be bored?"

Gouzi became worried again and whispered: "Li Jin is a very stingy person, aren't you afraid of his revenge?"

Changsun Hong smiled: "Revenge? Let him drink water this time, and let him eat shit next time, see if he dares."

"Eat dog shit? It's very difficult." The dog touched his chin and thought, "How can he let him eat dog shit?"

Changsun Hong stretched lazily and said lazily: "You will know then, let's go, hurry up."

The wider the road, the closer it is to the county town, the easier it is to walk. The group rushed to slow down and took advantage of the sunshine and the weather was clear, and the trip was speeding up.

Hezhou is a small prefecture with three counties under the jurisdiction of Chongqing Prefecture. It has mountains in the territory, with only 80,000 people and only a thousand acres of land, but it focuses on the development of water transportation. Among the three counties, Shizhao County County is located at the confluence of the Jialing River, Fu River and Qu River. The terrain is critical. The shipping node can connect to Chongqing Prefecture above and Suining and CD Prefecture below. There is a military saying that Hezhou can control the lifeline of the south of the Yangtze River, so the prefecture is also placed in Shizhao County.

Ten miles outside the city, there is a long pavilion covering the hills. The official road at the foot of the mountain is winding, the grass on the edge of the mountain is green, there are pine forests growing on one side, and green waters moving on one side. There are small hills around it, and there are no obstacles to the big mountain. You can see the distance from the pavilion, have a vast view, and have a long and long mind. It has always been a good place for nobles and poets in the city to come for a trip in spring and autumn.

The Li family and his group arrived here before noon. People outside the city rushed to a long way and usually had to rest here, drink some water and eat some dry food, and then enter the city in one go. This has become a routine since ancient times.

Of course, Li was no exception. When she saw Changting from afar, she asked the butler to stop and asked everyone to go over together, take a break, and enter the city later.

Changsun Hong wrapped in the crowd and walked over to the door together. The pavilion was not big, but it could accommodate more than ten people. There were many people coming and going. At this moment, a group of people gathered in it, mostly young people, white clothes and long gowns, talking loudly, and the voices of women. Others knew at a glance that it was a rich man in the city gathered here to enjoy the scenery.

Li took some money and found that she was a female relative and brought her children, so it was naturally inconvenient to live with others. Moreover, the group of people looked either rich or noble, and even though the Li family had money, it was not convenient to provoke them. Fortunately, there were grass around the pavilion, flat and wide, so it was not difficult to find a place to rest, so the housekeeper went over and found a place far away, with trees and stones, so there was no problem rushing to rest.

The Li family got off the bus around the car and rested, ate snacks and drank tea. Changsun Hong and other servants naturally did not have such blessings, so they could only rest on their own if they were farther apart.

After putting down the bookcase on his back, Changsun Hong felt his shoulders panic. He was not tired. He had been very effective in training these days. After walking so far, he felt that his body was still very strong.

Sitting on the ground and drinking the bamboo tube water that people were drinking below, Changsun Hong leaned against a tree and looked around boredly. The noise in the Chang Pavilion was loud and even if it was dozens of steps away, it could be heard.

"Brother Mo, this word is so good. It's so grand and grand when you hear it. This poem about autumn is a famous one. When the teacher sees it, he will give him a thumbs up. It's true that he is a talent in our county's school. In the future, I have to remember that I will be with my classmates."

"Where, where, I have won the awards, and I will not be able to do it."

"Is that so? Brother Mo is modest."

....

The noise was floating into his ears. After hearing a few words, Changsun Hong knew that a group of students were writing lyrics and singing about autumn. He couldn't help but take a few glances.
