On the banks of the clear Yecheng River, the water caresses the grass on the bank.

A pair of green-white little hands held a handful of river water and put it to his mouth. The small red mouth was slightly raised, and he took a few sips, and then let out a soft sigh and said: "This water is so sweet."

The young woman who was obviously dressed as a servant next to her smiled and said: "This is a sweet river, so young men and women in Yecheng like to go out and play by this river."

The girl picked up the porcelain bottle next to her, invaded the river, and said, "I want to fill a bottle, and let my father have a taste when I go back." After saying that, she immediately stood up, holding the porcelain bottle in both hands, and ran towards the convoy that was resting on the shore.

The sky is high and the air is crisp, and the long fragrance of ink exudes from the old books.

The sun is shining brightly at this time, which is perfect for reading and writing.

A middle-aged man sat leaning against the roots of a big tree, occasionally reading a book, then closing his eyes and stroking his beard, shaking his head.

The girl ran over happily and shouted: "Father, try the water I got you, it's so sweet."

The middle-aged man took the porcelain bottle with a smile, raised his head and took a big sip, and said with emotion: "It is indeed good water."

The girl said as if offering a treasure: "I found it, I found it."

The middle-aged man stroked the girl's hair and said, "Yan'er is the most obedient."

When it comes to this middle-aged man's name, many people know him even in modern times.

His surname was Cai Mingyong, and his courtesy name was Bojie. He was the most famous writer and educator in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

He hated evil all his life. Because he was dissatisfied with the evil deeds of the eunuchs and their servants, he wrote to express his opinions, but he was slandered by the eunuchs, causing him to wander for half his life without a fixed residence.

In order to avoid the persecution of the eunuchs, he wandered in the deserts of the northwest and the miasma villages of the southeast. People in the world are grateful for his moral character. Wherever he goes, he is bound to be sought after by the local aristocratic families.

Cai Yong himself was also quite generous in character. He did not suffer from the wandering life at all, and still persisted in learning. Everywhere he went, he would definitely seek out historical sites and collect famous books, and finally became a well-known literary giant in the world.

What is even more valuable is that Cai Yong adhered to Confucius' principle of teaching without distinction and treated all scholars who came for advice as equals. This further won him unanimous praise from all scholars in the world.

For example, Cao Cao, who was born in the eunuch's family, became his disciple and received his devoted teachings. So much so that Cao Cao remembered him for decades after his death. He even took good care of his daughter Cai Yan and spent a lot of money to bring her away.

Redemption beyond the Great Wall.

Speaking of Cai Yan, she is also a strange woman. Not long after she was born, her father was sent to the northwest desert for crimes, and she was accompanied by the whole family. So Cai Yan, who had just turned one year old, became the youngest criminal and was sent with her father.

Later, Cai Yong took her with him when he traveled around, and carefully guided her in her studies, so that although she was young, she could already read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles.

The father and daughter talked about literature and Taoism, played the piano and played the flute, and they had a great time.

Just then a housekeeper came to report: "Sir, the man we just rescued from the river has woken up. He wants to personally thank the master for saving his life."

Cai Yong frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, just let him recover. When he recovers, let him leave on his own. Saying thank you is just a small effort, so there's no need for it."

"As ordered." The butler withdrew and walked to a temporary tent in the distance.

The tent was poorly built, dimly lit, and had an unpleasant smell.

The housekeeper did not enter the tent. He opened the curtain with one hand and saw two people in the tent in the dim light.

One person was lying on a piece of cloth spread on the ground, and another person was squatting next to him, seemingly taking care of him.

At this time, the housekeeper changed his humility when he just met Cai Yong and said proudly: "My master has told me that when you are healed, you can leave on your own. As for thanking you, there is no need to say thank you."

The person lying down struggled to sit up after hearing this, but failed in the end.

The housekeeper frowned and said, "I think you'd better recuperate and stop moving around." After saying that, he put down the door curtain and turned to leave.

The man squatting aside breathed a sigh of relief and said: "You are really tough. You survived after being so seriously injured. I asked you, how did you do it?"

The injured man closed his eyes and ignored him.

The injured person was none other than Xu Kang. He was seriously injured three times by Wen Rui that day, so he was in a coma, but he was not dead. Wen Rui's bodyguards, out of convenience, saw that he was dying, so they lied to Wen Rui in the hope of coaxing her away.

A writer.

This plan worked as expected, and Wen Rui was already on her way home.

As for Xu Kang, these guards didn't care at all. He was just an unknown person. Whether he was dead or alive had nothing to do with them. So they just threw him into the river and hastily ended the matter.

But Xu Kang's recovery ability is extremely strong, which may be the only advantage his body gained after time travel.

Of course, no matter how strong his recovery ability is, it doesn't mean he has immortality. If the Cai family's motorcade hadn't happened to pass by and rescued him, he might have drowned in the river.

When he learned that Cai Yong was the one who saved him, Xu Kang's first thought was not how badly he was injured, but how to make friends with this person.

For Xu Kang, his current status is very embarrassing, and the possibility of returning to Liaodong is slim. But if he stays in Luoyang, he still needs to find a more reliable backer.

Although he hasn't said anything these days, he has been hesitating about who to turn to. When he meets Cai Yong, if he can establish a relationship with him, relying on his reputation, it will definitely be of infinite benefit to his future worth.

.

In the past two days, Xu Kang was recuperating peacefully and was almost recovered. Although he repeatedly expressed his desire to thank Cai Yong, it was a pity that no one took it seriously. Maybe Cai Yong was a true gentleman and took saving Xu Kang as a matter of course.

I am not willing to accept the other party's thanks.

And as his injuries improved, Xu Kang also felt that his previous thoughts were a bit naive. Even if he could really see him, so what? He was not ready for anything now. I would be able to talk to him when the time came.

What? Now think about how to attract his attention.

Zhang Niu was the one who started taking care of Xu Kang. He was a philistine and liked petty gains.

Xu Kang asked him to find the Four Treasures of the Study and letters, and began to write letters.

The letter to Xue Keer was relatively simple. It mainly explained that she was safe now and asked her to lead the caravan to Luoyang first.

Then he wrote a letter to Luo'er. Xu Kang wrote a whole piece of paper eloquently at first. He clearly explained the process of Wen Rui's frame-up of him. But after he finished writing, Xu Kang read it again, and he really frowned.

He wrinkled and tore the letter into pieces.

Instead, I simply wrote the following two sentences.
Chapter completed!
