Chapter 4 Banqiao Inn
However, after the two chatted, Ning Caichen was surprised to find that Qin Bai was indeed a scholar.
Although the documents that proved their identity were a bit old, they did not look fake, and he was the head of the case in Hangzhou at that time.
In Hangzhou, where there are so many literati, it is really amazing to be admitted to the first place of scholar at the age of fifteen.
At least Ning Caichen felt ashamed of himself, which made him even more curious about how Qin Bai had a bright future and chose to stay in a mountain valley for fifteen years.
Moreover, both of them were going to take the scientific exam, carrying a book basket on their own, and from time to time, they would read the Four Books and Five Classics with candlelight, or memorize the content silently.
The other party was holding an iron hammer in his hand, and the package on his back was full of weapons. Most of the time, he was wiping the weapons, but Ning Caichen took a look at Qin Bai and almost all of them could answer.
For Qin Bai, he was a human being in his two lives, had a great memory, and had a relatively efficient learning method in his previous life. He had a natural advantage in his journey to the imperial examination.
He chose to be admitted to the scholar at the age of fourteen because he was born as a civilian. If he was less than ten years old, it would be a bit too exaggerated.
The history of this world is very strange. The Tang Dynasty existed more than Qin Bai’s impression than before it became the Song Dynasty.
If you think about it carefully, the background of the Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio should be the Qing Dynasty, but in fact it is still the Song Dynasty, and it is already the Emperor of Song Huizong Zhao Ji.
He just thought it was the roller of history and accidentally went astray, and just wanted to focus on his career. He originally thought that he would rise to the top with a plug-in next.
Qin Bai had a very good plan, but the system that suddenly appeared at the age of fifteen messed up everything.
Thinking of this, he unconsciously tightened his muscles all over his body, wearing clothes found in the copycat, which was a little dissatisfied and almost broke up.
Ning Caichen couldn't help but feel a little scared when he walked behind, hoping that he and Qin Bai were not in the same exam room, otherwise the pressure would be too great.
The two of them were not slow to walk. After walking for a few days, they finally got free from the mountain road.
Next, just follow the official road and you will be able to reach the next town. During these days, Qin Bai has been searching for pedestrians on the way to inquire about any temples nearby.
"Brother Qin, do you believe in Buddhism?" Ning Caichen couldn't help asking curiously when he saw this.
Qin Bai glanced at him, threw a small stone out of his hand, and pierced a hare not far away through his head.
"Do you think I'm like?"
"Too."
Ning Caichen smirked, and couldn't help but touch the bag on his forehead. There were still traces of his brain collapse a few days ago. If he used some force, he wouldn't be like this hare.
Qin Bai held the hare in his hand and said, "If you eat too much meat, can't you change your appetite if you want to eat vegetarian food?"
Ning Caichen always feels that the other party is blaming him. Could it be that now being a bandit can really make a big fish and meat every day?
He didn't dare to say too much, for fear of offending Qin Bai. However, after contacting him during this period, he found that the other party seemed difficult to get along with on the surface, but in fact he took good care of him.
Moreover, Qin Bai will be much safer. Until now, the scene of killing the demon with a hammer is still in my mind.
The sky gradually darkened, and the autumn wind blew into people's bones with a hint of chill.
Qin Bai collected a lot of lamp oil from the mountain village and took out some torches, which could last for most of the hour and allowed them to walk more nights.
"Brother Qin, the ignition in the dark is a bit too conspicuous..." Ning Caichen couldn't help but remind.
"I'm afraid of a soft ball."
Qin Bai stretched out his fist and hit the air, and a muffled sound suddenly appeared, startling a group of birds on the tree to leave.
"What do you know? I'm doing something."
On the system panel, there are several achievements in walking with a torch in the dark night. Although he is not signing in now, he will still reduce the check-in time required in Lanruo Temple after completion.
Ning Caichen knew that the other party had started talking nonsense again, so he quickly shut up, otherwise he would have been pestering himself to explain, and he might not be able to stop for most of the hour.
The two thought they had to spend the night in the wild tonight, but before the moon came out, they saw an inn standing next to the official road from afar, with the lights extremely conspicuous.
"I can finally take a good rest." Qin Bai's eyes lit up. After all, the place where he is now is a mountainous area. The humidity is too heavy at night. No matter how strong the bonfire is, his clothes will inevitably be damp when he wakes up in the morning.
Seeing this, Ning Caichen said embarrassedly: "Uh, Brother Qin, I don't have any extra money. I don't know if the remaining scientific research is enough."
"I have money, but it was found in the copycat."
Qin Bai took out a fist-sized bag from his arms, which contained some broken silver.
He glanced at Ning Caichen and said, "Since you have invited you to stay, remember to give me a few good words when I got to the temple."
"Ah?" Ning Caichen scratched his head: "I do recognize several Buddhist temples, but they are not here. There is a Meigu Temple near my home, and the incense is still very prosperous."
"It's okay, just remember." Qin Bai's pace accelerated. Inns on the roadside usually closed early, and he was afraid that he would not be able to catch up.
Only when I was close enough did I see the appearance of this inn.
Both layers are made of wood, and the smell of mold is emitted due to the rain. You can also see white mushrooms on the walls.
The plaque is a little old, with four words "Banqiao Inn" written on it.
Qin Bai looked around and saw a small bridge by the river in the distance, which should be Banqiao.
Through the window paper, you could see that there were many guests in the inn drinking and talking, so the two of them pushed the door and walked in.
The inn is not big, with only seven or eight wooden tables in the hall. There are three tables of guests, all of whom are traveling around the world.
When they saw Qin Bai, they immediately fell into a brief silence. Their height of two meters was a bit scary. The iron hammer he was holding made people restless.
"What's wrong? There is no place for us to stay in such a huge inn?" Qin Bai said with a raised brow.
Ning Caichen was afraid that he would be annoyed, so he quickly explained to these people: "My friend is just a blacksmith, please don't care too much."
The inn was only then revived, but the sound became a little lighter.
One of the drinkers was obviously drunk too much. He stood up staggeringly and shouted to the inner room: "Three Lady, the guest is here."
At this time, a woman walked out of it. She was about thirty years old. She looked so gorgeous, but she was also beautiful and charming.
The third lady was not shocked by Qin Bai, but her eyes lit up and she invited the two of them to the wooden table.
"What do you two want to eat?" He said that, put his hands on Qin Bai's shoulder.
Qin Bai quietly blocked her hand and then threw the hare on the table.
