Chapter 58 County Examination

The two set off for Gu Jiao’s parents to go home after going to the grave.

It took a lot of time for the two to clean their graves, making them all dirty.

Gu Jiao knew that he loves cleanliness, so when passing by the river, she said to him: ”Go and wash your hands.”

”Hmm.” Xiao Liulang replied, and limped towards the river with his crutches.

Gu Jiao observed his walking posture. To be honest, the operation was a success, and he worked very hard in rehabilitation during this period, but he still couldn't throw away the crutches.

Is the rehabilitation effort not enough?

Gu Jiao touched her chin.

”Aren't you washing it?” Xiao Liulang asked her back.

Gu Jiao ha ha ha: ”Wash! Let's wash together!”

It’s just washing your hands, why are you so active, not taking a bath, right?

After Xiao Liulang asked, she remembered that this was the river where she had fallen into the water. Perhaps she was too scared to come. She blamed herself for talking too much and planned to wash away quickly, but Gu Jiao had already squatted down beside him.

The river is a bit cold, but neither of them is a pampering young master and a young lady, and they can wash it with forbearance.

However, as soon as the two got up one after another, something suddenly fell out of Gu Jiao's arms and fell into the river with a thud.

”My purse!” Gu Jiao didn't expect this change, but she was too late to grab it with her eyesight and hands. There was a lot of silver in her purse, which was heavy, and it sank in an instant.

Gu Jiao didn't even think about it, and jumped into the river.

Xiao Liulang suddenly changed color!

She dived more unexpectedly than her purse fell into the water, Xiao Liulang did not react, and she disappeared.

Xiao Liulang looked at the ripples of the lake, his toes moved.

Of course he could drink water before, but now that he hurt his leg, he is not sure about saving people.

Just as Xiao Liulang clenched his fists and stared at the surface of the water and the heavens and humans were fighting, Gu Jiao clutched his purse and floated to the surface: ”I found it...I found it...”

Xiao Liulang hurriedly pulled her ashore.

Gu Jiao knelt and sat on the grass, dripping with water, panting.

Xiao Liulang frowned and looked at the purse she was pulling in her hand: ”It's a purse, how much silver is worth your own life?”

”It's not silver.” Gu Jiao shook her head, opened her purse and poured out everything in it. She didn't even look at the naked silver, she just grabbed a palm-sized kraft paper bag sealed with wax.

”Do you have a veil?” She looked at Xiao Liulang.

Xiao Liulang took a clean veil from his arms to her.

He thought she was going to wipe the water off her face, but unexpectedly, she carefully wiped the kraft paper bag with a kerchief.

After drying the kraft paper bag, she carefully peeled off the wax on the surface, and then opened the kraft paper bag, revealing a document with the official seal.

The document is dry and intact.

Gu Jiao breathed a sigh of relief.

This is the county examination document sent by the dean to Xiao Liulang. Xiao Liulang didn't want to take the test, so he turned around and threw it into the waste paper ball.

Gu Jiao helped him clean up the house and found the paperwork, only if he accidentally dropped it, so he kept it carefully.

Gu Jiao handed him the paperwork: ”You take it, I am covered with water, don’t get the paperwork wet.”

Xiao Liulang: ”That's what you did? I...”

will not take the exam.

It’s okay to wash your hands by the river in this kind of weather. People can't hold it when they fall into the water.

Gu Jiao was trembling by the cold wind, her wet eyes widened, her little hand stretched out in front of him, and the cuff was dripping with water, but he didn't even wet his papers at all.
