Traveling through ancient times to escape famine, the prince led me to rebel

The autumn sunshine is always gentle, like a fine but dense net of light, covering the people outdoors, warm but not dazzling.

In the small courtyard with a fence, a large elm table was placed there early in the morning, and Luo Xingchen was lying on it practicing calligraphy.

Sun Qingyuan held a volume of "Three Character Classic" in his hand but did not look at it. He closed his eyes and recited silently with his head shaking.

From time to time, I would check on Luo Xingchen's writing and give feedback:

"Xingchen is making great progress. In less than a month, he has a method for writing each stroke and can even recite the Three Character Classic fluently. He is very smart."

Luo Xiaoran, who was watching from the side, didn't care about being modest and just praised him:

"That's right, don't you even look at whose brother he is!"

Hearing this, Luo Xingchen raised his little head from the table and smiled at Luo Xiaoran, like a kitten that had eaten fish, with a beaming joy on his face.

But Sun Qingyuan shouted softly: "Focus!"

Quite a stern tone.

Luo Xingchen hurriedly lowered his head and continued to copy from memory.

Luo Xiaoran was not angry either. In fact, Sun Qingyuan was much gentler than most teachers in private schools.

When he first started teaching Luo Xingchen, facing a young child who could not speak and had not yet learned to write, Sun Qingyuan found it difficult to communicate with Luo Xingchen in a friendly manner, and he had to rely on Luo Xiaoran's assistance.

After three or five days, the two gradually developed a tacit understanding.

Now, Sun Qingyuan can tell what Luo Xingchen is thinking just by looking at any little expression on his face.

He was just trying to take credit from his sister.

"Okay, after you finish studying this article, you can leave class today."

In a moment, Luo Xingchen handed the entire "Three Character Classic" which he had spent an hour writing to Sun Qingyuan for review.

Luo Xiaoran asked Du Kongqing to set out dinner and prepare to eat.

After dinner, the assistant Du Kongqing and the teacher Sun Qingyuan can go back to their respective homes and visit their respective mothers.

As soon as the door was locked, Luo Xiaoran and Luo Xingchen also came out for a walk.

It was said before that in order to let Du Kongqing go home before dark, Luo Xiaoran always prepared dinner in advance.

But now, in order to ensure that Luo Xingchen studies for two hours every afternoon, dinner has been postponed.

After dinner, it was almost dark, but fortunately the moonlight was bright.

As usual, Du Kongqing was sent home first, and Sun Qingyuan followed him.

"There is a wooden bridge on the Dandan River that connects Hexi Village and Hedong Village. It leads directly to Hedong Village, but it's a different road from where I live. I'm afraid Mr. Sun has taken the wrong path."

Du Kongqing looked at Sun Qingyuan who was walking behind him and asked deliberately.

Luo Xiaoran has always had good eyesight. With a quick glance, she saw Du Kongqing looking sideways at Sun Qingyuan with a sneer on his face.

I don't know what's wrong with this pair of enemies, but they start bickering whenever they get the chance.

Even the four-year-old Luo Xingchen knew that Master Sun and Sister Kong Qing did not get along, so he hurriedly pulled Luo Xiaoran's sleeve.

Luo Xiaoran rubbed his little head and tried to smooth things over for his own good:

"Although it's a different road, it's not a detour. I remember turning left at the intersection in front of Kong Qing's house and walking a little further, you'll reach the wooden bridge."

This is when you see the benefits of taking a walk every night.

Luo Xiaoran had already figured out the route to Hexi Village, and even the roads and paths in Hedong Village.

It’s not that Luo Xiaoran likes to wander around, but it’s a habit left over from the end of the world.

Whenever you go to a place, you must first find out the route.

In case of danger, there will be an escape route.

After Du Kongqing returned home, Luo Xingchen planned to take his younger brother home.

Unexpectedly, Luo Xingchen grabbed her sleeve and pointed to the intersection in front of Du Kongqing's house.

"Want to go to the bridge?" Luo Xiaoran asked.

Luo Xingchen nodded.

I don’t know if it’s because all children have a natural love for water, but Luo Xingchen always likes to pester Luo Xiaoran to go to the wooden bridge connecting the two villages.

At this time, the moon has risen to due south, the moonlight is very bright, and the stars gather around it, which is very beautiful.

Luo Xingchen walked happily in front, looking at the north side of the bridge from time to time.

In the distance to the north of the bridge is Baobao Mountain, which at this moment looks like a huge monster, lurking in the night, motionless.

Look south of the bridge for a while.

Where does the river flow to, what is that place, and what is the name of the village?

Children always have a rich imagination.

Everything is very quiet, with only the leisurely chirping of cicadas around, showing vitality and vigor.

However, something unexpected happened.

With a loud bang, Luo Xingchen on the bridge disappeared in an instant.

And where he fell, a square hole suddenly appeared.

Luo Xiaoran didn't think twice and quickly jumped into the river to look for someone.

The river water in late autumn is already icy and unbearable. After a few autumn rains, the water level rises and the current becomes turbulent.

Luo Xiaoran jumped down from the cave and landed in the water close to Luo Xingchen, but he obviously didn't know where he was washed to.

Luo Xiaoran went downstream and saw from afar a head floating up and down on the sparkling river. Who else could it be but the struggling Luo Xingchen!

Luo Xiaoran swam over hurriedly, and just as she grabbed the tiny body, Luo Xingchen's short arms and legs hung on her like an octopus.

After getting ashore, Luo Xingchen did not fall into a coma.

He was just frightened, his eyes were wide open, and he grabbed the corner of Luo Xiaoran's clothes tightly, unwilling to let go.

"It's okay, it's okay, we are safe now."

Luo Xiaoran wiped the water off Luo Xingchen's face and comforted him softly.

Unexpectedly, before Luo Xingchen could respond, another sound of a heavy object falling into the water was heard not far away.

"Help, help, help!" It was Sun Qingyuan's voice.

Luo Xiaoran quickly stood up and looked towards the river. There was another head floating up and down at the place where she had just jumped into the water.

Luo Xiaoran:······

Luo Xiaoran jumped into the river again, enduring the freezing water, grabbed Sun Qingyuan by the collar and brought him ashore.

"I've already jumped in, why are you jumping into the river again?"

It was very tiring for Luo Xiaoran, with her small body, to swim in the river with a young man who was older than her!

"Cough cough!"

Sun Qingyuan spat out the river water in his mouth, and the feeling of suffocation gradually eased.

“I saw there was no sound after you jumped in, and I thought you and Xingchen were stuck in the river and couldn’t get out.

He then remembered that he had secretly learned a little about duck swimming when he was young, and he jumped in a hurry.

But as soon as I got into the river, my leg cramped.”

Sun Qingyuan stretched out his hand and slapped his cramped left foot hard. His face twisted and he groaned in pain.

Luo Xiaoran laughed secretly when she saw this, and then she felt a warm current surge in her heart.

Although Sun Qingyuan did not help, and could even be said to have made things worse, his starting point was good.

And if his swimming skills were not good enough and he failed to pull him out, Sun Qingyuan would very likely have become the unlucky man who died while trying to save someone.

It seems that all my efforts in feeding him in various ways over the past month have not been in vain.

The lowest point of a person's character is revealed at critical moments.

Although Sun Qingyuan is harsh in his words, he is a cynical and troublesome person.

But he has a good character and would not stand by and watch someone in need. He is also well-educated, so it was a good decision to hire this teacher.
