Boom~!

The rolling spring thunder woke up the dreamer, the cool breeze blew outside the window, and it rained heavily in front of the door.

Thick lead clouds covered the sky, heavy rain poured down, water vapor rose, and the sky and earth were hazy and dim.

Dense raindrops from the sky and the earth fall on the tiles and flow down the tile ditch, as if hanging a curtain on the eaves. The rainwater that falls on the ground gathers into puddles and flows to the lower areas. The more it gathers, the more it gathers, forming a mountain stream and finally flowing into the river.

The river water began to surge...

The rain was hitting the pipa, the rain was falling deeply, and thunder sounded from time to time, covering up other sounds, and the world seemed particularly 'quiet'.

In early spring, the weather turns from warm to cold. This kind of weather is really not beautiful.

In a small courtyard on the outskirts of Niujiao Town, Yunjing stood at the door, slightly lost in thought as he watched the continuous rainstorm.

In this situation, he doesn't have the leisurely mood of listening to the spring rain in a small building at all, because this kind of weather is particularly cruel to farmers. The flash floods are too big and the fields are likely to be washed away. If that happens, all the previous work will be in vain...

From his position, he could see farmers in the rain curtain, despite the bad weather, wearing hats and raincoats, busy in the fields, opening canals and releasing water into the fields.

This can achieve the purpose of preventing the fields from being washed away by heavy rains, but the fertilizer and water applied with farmyard manure will be wasted.

It's going to rain. This is the power of nature and no one can stop it.

I just hope that the heavy rain will stop soon. If it lasts for too long, it will not only be the fields that suffer, but also landslides, mudslides and floods. It will be a disaster!

Not to mention this era, even in a highly developed society in Yunjing's previous life, facing floods was a terrible thing.

"No one was missing last night, and no suspicious persons were found. People who came to Niujiao Town through rivers and lakes, people who were delivering goods from north to south, people who were studying... are all normal."

Yunjing murmured in his heart that he silently observed Niujiao Town all night last night.

The disappearance of five children is not a small matter. It is too difficult to give birth to a child in this era. Both adults and babies are going through hell during the birth. Later growth, if you are not careful, a child will die in infancy and can grow to ten years old.

It will only be half in the next year or so. Some families have many children who never really grow up.

Therefore, the disappearance of those five children will probably lead to the complete collapse of the family behind them, which is nothing more than the loss of a family.

I don’t know how they disappeared, and I don’t have any clue. In addition, the heavy rain has completely wiped out any traces they may have left. It is too difficult to investigate their whereabouts.

As much as he could, Yunjing didn't mind helping to find those children. After all, life was precious. If there was really no other way, he could only do his best.

Can those children return home alive?

Yunjing doesn't know.

There are investigation records in the town's yamen files. The police officers were relatively responsible and visited people around the missing persons' homes. Some people had seen the children before they disappeared, but they didn't know where the children had gone, and they had never seen them.

What strangers and suspicious characters have passed...

It's like disappearing into thin air!

But the question is how is it possible? As the so-called flying geese leave traces, how can living people disappear out of thin air?

Without any clues, it was difficult to start with the missing children. Yun Jing was more hopeful that a similar situation would happen again.

Of course, he is not evil-minded and expects someone to suffer, but if this happens again, he will secretly observe that whether he is eaten by a wild beast, abducted by a trafficker, or has an accident, he will be able to rescue and find him in time.

clue.

But at the end of the night, this did not happen. He didn't know whether he should be happy or disappointed.

He decided to observe for another two days. If there was still no similar incident, it could only be said that the previous incidents were accidents and the government would just deal with them. If it happened, it was an abnormal phenomenon such as human traffickers or beasts, and he could not stand by and watch!

"Master, what would you like to eat earlier? Can I buy it for you or make it fresh?" Song Yan came up behind Yun Jing and asked.

Withdrawing his gaze, Yun Jing said: "It's raining too much and it's inconvenient to go out. Let's just make some white porridge. The kimchi I made a few days ago can be eaten. It's also good with white porridge."

"I understand, little one." Song Yan turned and left.

In such a heavy rainy weather, Yunjing, let alone ordinary people, didn't want to go out, so he simply sat under the window and read a book. The water vapor was heavy and the books were a little moist. When the sun came out, he had to bask in it to avoid bugs.

When it comes to drying books, it really means "drying". Think about it, if any family in this era puts a bunch of books to dry in the sun, what does it prove? It proves that this family is well-off. Where do ordinary people get their books?

Therefore, posting books is often a way of showing off one's family background.

Song Yan was very competent in his job as a book boy. When Yun Jing was reading, he not only gently brought tea, but also lit refreshing incense beside it.

The tea, the contents of the book, and the fragrance linger in it. In fact, reading is really a kind of enjoyment.

Slowly flipping through the book, the heavy rain outside was playing the pipa, Yun Jing was also paying attention to all aspects of Niujiao Town within the range of his mind, the entrances and exits in various parts of the town, the movements of some strangers, and children...

As for those scenes of goblins fighting on rainy days when they had nothing to do, he automatically ignored them and created a mosaic screen in his mind.

The town's detectives were running around in the heavy rain to investigate the homes of missing children. Each one looked unlucky. Because there was no progress, the mayor sprayed saliva on his face.

It's not easy for everyone. People who have lost their children are longing for their children to return. If something like this happens under the government, the mayor is under great pressure, and the police want to solve the case quickly.

If there is no follow-up and becomes an unsolved case, this will be a stain on Niujiao Town. Especially Niujiao Town is a very special place. The princess's palace is here and the emperor is also paying attention. Any trace of stain will probably be infinitely magnified. There will be great pressure on all aspects.

Also normal.

"Now that I am seventeen years old, I will go to the imperial examination this year to get my merit. The imperial examination is held in the state capital in the summer. After finishing my work, I can go to the state capital to take the imperial examination. I will also stop by to see it on the way.

noob……"

The multi-tasking Yunjing said silently in his mind.

There is also a theory that the imperial examinations were held in the summer, because the vast majority of scholars in the Dali Dynasty would stop here throughout their lives. The remaining representatives were the most prosperous, so holding the imperial examinations in this season complemented each other.

If a scholar can obtain the title of Juren, he can run and plan official positions if he wants to go one step further. However, the upper limit for making achievements in the official career is not high based on the title of Juren alone. The third-grade official position is the ultimate.

Only by becoming a Jinshi on the imperial list can one be promoted to the upper third rank.

The so-called qualifications are actually everywhere.

If you want to become an official, you still need to work hard. As long as you get the title of Jinshi, you have already entered the official career. The specific position arrangement depends on your ability and connections.

Of course, Yunjing has no plans to become an official, but he still needs to have fame and honor, and his family hopes that he will bring glory to his family.

Yunjing felt that he had no big problem in getting the title of Juren, but he was not sure how high he wanted to get. He never looked down on any other scholar. After decades of reading, no matter in terms of knowledge or insights, someone would be

These aspects must be richer and more thorough than the cloud scenery.

Anyway, as long as he can get the title of Juren, Yunjing has never thought about getting a high ranking to stand out. It doesn't matter if he is not at the top, not at the bottom or even at the bottom.

Yun Jing was still very serious about taking the exam. He did not become careless just because he had a library of contents in his head. Whenever he had time, he would take out the books he had read and ponder over their meanings. After all, memorizing is not enough.

You have to understand it, apply what you have learned, and truly make it your own.

I read for a while, had breakfast, and continued reading...

Time passed little by little, and it was noon before we knew it. The thunder subsided, the rain gradually became lighter, and there were signs of clouds and fog dispersing. This was a good thing. Based on the previous precipitation, it should not cause a disaster.

However, it is impossible for the swollen river water to subside all at once.

In the afternoon, Yunjing still didn't 'see' any child in Niujiao Town having an accident. Instead, it was his little brother Yundong who came here.

Didn't he usually want to be as far away from her as possible, so why would he take the initiative to find him? Yun Jing was quite curious.

The rain still stopped, a rainbow hung in the sky, and Yun Dong, who was wearing cotton clothes, had muddy feet.

"The young master is here, please sit down in the room and drink a cup of hot tea to relieve the cold." Song Yan ran to welcome him in.

"Brother Yan, long time no see, how are you?" Yun Dong greeted with a smile. After all, Song Yan was a farmer's son, and he didn't take Song Yan seriously just because he was a servant. The two of them had always gotten along well. Yun Dong

Dong always treated him as a buddy, but on the contrary, he was a little afraid of his brother Yunjing.

Yun Jing looked at Yun Dong who came in and said, "Change your shoes and step on the mud on the floor. I'll clean it up later."

"Where are the shoes? I'll just change them," Yundong said, shrinking his neck.

Pointing to the place where the shoes were placed, Yunjing asked: "Xiaodong, why are you here? Don't you have to go to school today?"

"It rained too much earlier today, and the school teacher told me that I don't have to go to class." Yundong, who was changing his shoes, explained, and then cautiously said to please: "What about that, brother, can I discuss something with you?"

"What's the matter?" Yun Jing asked, curling his lips secretly, thinking that it was true that he would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and feelings come with a purpose.

After rubbing his hands, Yundong put the five fingers of his right hand together and handed it to Yunjing to look at, saying, "Brother, what do you think this is?"

"Then what?" Yun Jing said speechlessly.

Smiling, Yundong said: "Brother, I'm short on money, so you can help me."

"Go and cool off, don't have any money?" Yunjing waved his hand. Although he was not short of money, he would not pamper his brother lavishly, so as not to let him develop the habit of extravagance and waste since he was a child.

Moreover, at Yundong's age, there are not many places where he can use his money while studying in a school.

Yundong was anxious and said quickly: "No, brother, I'm doing business, please help me."

"Oh? Tell me, if it's really a serious matter, I, the elder brother, am not an unkind person," Yunjing asked curiously.

After organizing some conversation, Yundong said: "Brother, that's what happened. It's not the spring season. The school is going to organize an outing. It's not far away, just near the town. But, let's go,

You have to prepare some food and drink, right? So you see...?"

After hearing what he said, Yunjing suddenly understood. Spring outings are a tradition in the school in the town. Yunjing used to experience them every year when he was a student. There were even summer outings and autumn outings. The school also did it for the students to prepare for the stressful period.

It's very humane to have some time to relax after studying.

When the Yunjing family had not yet made a fortune, master Li Qiu would always support it with his own money.

Although spring outing is just an outing, it also costs money. In terms of food and clothing, after all, others bring delicious food and drink to the spring outing, while I eat and drink with my hands empty and licking my face.

Bar?
