……

As the sky gradually darkened, the women who were still washing clothes by the river left with their clothes. Only Yu Qing, whose forehead was covered with sweat, struggled to wave her wooden stick by the river and beat and rinsed the clothes in her basket again and again.

Several teenagers in the town passed by the river and saw Yu Qing beating his clothes by the river. The teenagers looked at each other, and then a teenager quietly went down the stone steps, and then pushed it on Qing's back

"Puff..." Yu Qing suddenly jumped into the river, but the teenagers had laughed and ran away, shouting, "broom star, evil spirit, broom star, evil spirit..."

The water by the river was not deep, only waist high, but Yu Qing, who fell into the river, got up and was all wet.

"My clothes..."

She found that the clothes she had just held in her hand had floated into the river with the water and floated towards the downstream. Yu Qing didn't want to think about it, so she walked towards the river. Just after taking a few steps, the water suddenly flooded her neck and made her choke. However, Yu Qing still looked at the clothes floating on the water like she didn't see it, While walking towards the water, she tried her best to stretch out her hands and want to catch the floating clothes. The river blinked over her head

"Putong..." without thinking, Yan Liqiang jumped into the river, grabbed Yu Qing, grabbed the floating clothes, and then walked step by step from the river to the stone steps.

The wet hair was pasted on Qing's pale face. Yu Qing raised her head and looked at Yan Liqiang who jumped into the river and picked her up with the floating clothes with a strange look. It seemed that she didn't expect to meet such a person who could jump into the water for her and save her in the town.

Yan Liqiang's whole body and hair are also wet. His hair is still low and there are several water plants hanging on his body. He handed Yu Qing the clothes he picked up. "Nothing is more important than his life. Don't do such stupid things in the future. It's just a dress!"

Yu Qing took the clothes handed over by Yan Liqiang and held them tightly in her hand. She bit her lips tightly and said nothing. She seemed a little introverted, or didn't know what to say to a stranger at this time. Her whole body was trembling gently because of the cold.

Yan Liqiang smiled and looked at Yu Qing with gentle eyes. Then he took out a ingot of gold from himself and put it in Yu Qing's hand. "My name is Yan Liqiang. I will leave the imperial capital and return to Ganzhou the day after tomorrow. This is twelve Liang gold, which is enough for you to repay all your father's debts. If you want to leave Lihua Town, I can take you!"

Yu Qing looked at the gold in her hand and Yan Liqiang. The whole person was completely stunned, "you... Why did you help me?", She asked timidly.

Yan Liqiang sighed, raised his eyes and looked at the first star vaguely beginning to appear in the sky, "I had a dream, in which I also knew a little girl named Yu Qing..." after saying this, Yan Liqiang found that Yu Qing widened his eyes and looked at him without blinking, He felt that this reason was too astringent and literary for a 12-year-old girl, and Yu Qing might not understand it, so he smiled a little embarrassed and took down several water plants hanging on his body, "it doesn't matter if you don't want to go with me, I won't force you. The twelve Liang gold in your hand should be sent to you by me, and you don't have to pay it back, If someone wants to trouble you, tell them that the person who gave you this ingot of gold is a school captain surnamed Yan next to Duke Liu of Luyuan. Come if you don't want to die! "

Yu Qing just looked at Yan Liqiang and said nothing“ What, don't you believe me? I also know it's a little difficult. After all, I'll never bully you like those people in the future! " Yu Qing still didn't speak... "Well, if you don't want to leave the imperial capital, maybe we'll have a chance to meet again in a few years!" Yan Li forced a smile, reached out and took down a little duckweed on Yu Qing's head, then turned and left. If Yu Qing didn't want to leave with him at this time, of course he couldn't tie Yu Qing away“ Wait a minute... "Suddenly a voice came from behind. Yan Liqiang turned around and saw Yu Qing summoning up the courage to look at him. There was a look of excitement on her pale face." I'll go with you... "Yan Liqiang laughed..." but I'll wash these clothes first and send them to the Evergreen Inn. Can you... Can you wait for me! " Yu Qing added again seriously and nervously“ I'll wash it with you. Two people hurry up! " Yan Liqiang rolled up his sleeves and walked over again. He squatted on the stone steps by the river, took the wooden stick for washing clothes, and began to beat up a piece of clothes that had not been washed. Yu Qing also squatted down and rinsed the clothes that Yan Liqiang beat. The two men were next to the Shibu bridge. They washed all the clothes Yu Qing brought together and sent them back to the inn. Then, Yan Liqiang took Yu Qing, Every family paid off all the money owed by her family... When the moon was high and the stars were full, Yan Liqiang left Lihua Town, followed by a thin girl of 12 or 13 years old with a small burden on her back.
