Chapter 30 On the Road

Three days later, Li Qing and a group of students met the emperor in front of the palace.

In this palace exam, the emperor first asked the questions, and then the students answered. After that, the test papers were selected by the ministers, and finally by the emperor, and the top 1, 2 and 3 of the advanced scholars this year were obtained.

It is no surprise that Li Qing won the third place, that is, from the same advanced scholar.

“Being from the same advanced scholar” is the lowest among the top three advanced scholars, not only not as good as the “advanced scholar and the first”, but also not as good as the “advanced scholar background” of Mr. Chen in Heming City. ”, but Li Qing is already satisfied.

After 34 years of hard work, I have gained the title of advanced scholar, and I have no regrets in this life!

After selecting the top three, the emperor also gave verbal encouragement to many students. Li Qing did not care about this part. On the contrary, the emperor also pointed at Li Qing, saying that he is a pale-haired old man, who is dedicated to reporting to the country. His spirit is commendable, and he hopes everyone can learn from it.

This time again made Li Qing famous in front of many students. Li Qing kept bowing his head and didn’t say much about it.

After meeting the emperor, the advanced scholar became famous, and most of the other students stayed in the capital. Next, waiting for many students will be a lengthy communication, attending various banquets, contacting various relationships, and waiting for assignments.

But Li Qing didn’t stay in the capital for a moment after he achieved fame, and started rushing towards Heming City.

Indeed, Xiao Zhao has waited too long.

The same goes for Li Qing.

————

Out of the capital, it was first a big road. Li Qing took the hired carriage for ten days, and then it turned into water transportation, and the big boat was replaced by a small boat. It’s a small half a month, and then it’s land transportation.

One after another, it is not easy to hurry.

On this day, Li Qing and the newly hired driver were walking in a remote canyon. After passing this canyon, the distance to Heming City was only two hundred miles away. Coming soon.

The driver didn’t know Li Qing’s identity. He thought he was an old man who was visiting relatives and went home. He was eager to make money, and he wanted to be fast. He was walking a small road.

It’s just a matter of walking on a small road. The driver drove the carriage very fast and the body was bumpy. Li Qing couldn’t bear it. However, although the body was a little overwhelmed, Li Qing didn’t say a word, this is fine, the sooner the better, as long as you can go home as soon as possible, bumps can’t be considered.

Li Qing can stand it now, but this carry can’t stand it.

The driver is all about making money, but the carriage normally neglects maintenance. On this trip, he only cares about rushing on the road, and the body slowly loosens. After pressing over a stone in the canyon, the car slanted and rolled over.

This turn, almost lost Li Qing’s life.

Li Qing was tightly covered up and down the body. Inside the body, Li Qing didn’t move for a long time. He just felt like the frame was falling apart, unable to move even a little bit. .

After waiting in the car for a while, Li Qing was able to move slightly. At this time, he was a little strange. Why didn’t he see the driver’s silhouette for so long? Could it be that the driver’s injury was more serious?

Li Qing quickly climbed out of the car, wanting to see the driver’s condition.

Crawling out of the carriage with all her might, Li Qing looked around: in the canyon, birds flew over, hundreds of thousands of zhang, and there was no silhouette of the driver!

Not only was the coachman gone, but even the carriage’s horse was disappeared at this time.

At this time, Li Qing still couldn’t understand what happened.

It was clearly the driver who escaped!

After the carriage rolled over, the driver found that he couldn’t move in the car, and was afraid that he would fall to his death, so he ran away on a horse. Anyway, this canyon is also remote, so he is not afraid of it for a day or two. was discovered.

The driver escaped, and Li Qing was suffering at this time. He had an old bone, and he didn’t talk about the bumps for days, and this time he fell so hard, he just felt that it was difficult to move a step, not to mention rushing all over his body.

Looking up, the front and back are deserted again. For the next two hundred miles, there is a sense of exhaustion.

If Li Qing was alone in the jungle, it would not be difficult for Li Qing to travel half a month alone for ten days, let alone two hundred miles, three thousand miles. Too much.

But now, the hero is too late, let alone two hundred miles, Li Qing feels that he can walk ten miles.

Sit on the spot to rest, reluctantly looked in the direction from where I came, waited for one hour, and there was no one on the road. Li Qing had no choice but to stand up and move forward. At this point, he could only go on.

Fortunately, the direction is still clear.

From this day onwards, Li Qing began to walk, and he could only travel ten miles every day. Even so, at night, he was still sore. , wake up the next day and go.

At the same time, Li Qing eats very little, only one meal a day, and the dry food for three days in the package has not been eaten until the seventh day.

On the eighth day, Li Qing was on the main road and barely stopped a donkey cart in the direction of Heming City. Li Qing sat on it and let out a long breath.

The driver of the donkey cart was a mute. He pulled Li Qing up after seeing Li Qing’s pity, and no one who passed by before gave Li Qing a second look.

In the donkey cart, although it is not as good as carriage, Li Qing is already very satisfied.

In the early morning of the tenth day, Li Qing saw Heming City on the donkey cart.

The donkey cart pulled Li Qing five miles away from Heming City and stopped. Dumb, who drove the donkey cart, lived here. Although he didn’t arrive at the city gate, Li Qing was very grateful after getting off the bus, and took out a piece of silver and put it in Dumb’s hand.

Dumb was stunned when he saw Yin Zi, looked towards Li Qing, his eyes widened.

Li Qing didn’t say much, and once again bowed his hands and left.

After walking for a while, the dumb coachman behind him held up silver in his hand and made a sound of “babble, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah”, and didn’t know what he was talking about.

I walked towards Heming City. Although it was only five miles away, Li Qing didn’t arrive until noon. Seeing Heming City Gate, Li Qing let out a long breath and finally arrived.

At this time, there were not many people at the city gate, Li Qing was about to enter the city, and suddenly someone stopped Li Qing.

At the city gate, a guard guard stopped Li Qing, looked up, down, left, back, and back, then looked towards the notice pasted at the city gate, and asked in confusion, “Excuse me. , but Li Qing and Li Old Mister can’t do it?”

Li Qing was surprised when he asked himself, why did something happen to him when he got to the city gate, what did he do to stop him?

But he still nodded and said, “That’s right, what’s the matter?”

The soldier suddenly became overjoyed when he heard Li Qing say he was Li Qing. , said loudly to the other soldiers:

“I found it, I found it! I found it first!”

The other soldiers immediately surrounded, everyone talking at Once, Li Qing understood what was going on.

It turns out that after the advanced scholar was on the list, the good news has already been sent to all cities and cities, and also to Heming City. In the past ten years, no one in Heming City has won an advanced scholar. This time, Li Qing high school has made everyone in the city excited, especially Li Qing has already been well-known in scholar, which is even more eye-catching. Later, I heard that Li Qing came back alone. He had already set off. People in the city were waiting, but Li Qing had never come back. He thought it was an accident, so he came up with this strategy. Fifty taels of silver, no wonder the soldier was so happy.

After understanding the whole story, Li Qing cupped his hands and said to several soldiers: “many thanks, pay attention, it’s just that there was a mistake on the way and the time was missed. I finally returned to the city this time. Please take off the notice.”

Hearing this, one person took off the notice, Li Qing was about to go into the city to go home, suddenly a soldier stopped Li Qing again.
