"That man came from the north, and there was always an old donkey around him. He was tall and handsome, and he was a scholar like the young master. He had a grand spirit and we were not close to him. Only the young master could go over. He must be the one under the willows in Jinhu. He would beg him to beg for kindness and might save my family's disaster."

The lights in the room were yellow and the woman said softly. The scholar sitting beside her was staring blankly at the swaying candlelight. When she heard the description, she always felt that she had seen it.

Old donkey?

Scholar...

Isn’t this the classmate Lu I met today on the banks of Jinhu Lake?

"Young Master?"

On the other side, the woman stopped talking, saw the scholar being stunned and called out in a low voice, "What's wrong with you?"

Jin Huaian shook his head and said, "It's okay, I'm just thinking about something." As he said that, he shook the woman's hand and asked, "Is there a big toad beside the scholar beside the old donkey?"

"I don't know this, so how do you know about the young master?"

"I happened to meet a classmate today..."

The scholar told him a scholar I met on the bank of Jinhu this afternoon. He also had an old donkey and spoke very well. When Jin Huaian talked about it, he pulled the woman and said that he was about the same age as the scholar. He took the exam of the same year, but he failed the exam and opened a school to educate people.

"I just don't know if this classmate Lu is the one you mentioned, but don't worry, I will go to find him tomorrow morning and I will stay in Huailing for a few days."

"I don't know if it's this person, so it's okay for the young master to try it. If I don't know how to ask, I'll talk about the Jinhu family at that time."

The woman felt much more at ease when she saw that she had a look, but after all, she had something to do, so it was not convenient to stay tonight. Then she said goodbye and left, followed the eaves to the side yard of the museum, walked into the trees, and disappeared.

Soon, the lights went out in the room, and the dark night gradually became green and dark as time passed. The clouds in the east turned white, sprinkling sunlight to extend to the streets and alleys.

The deserted long street became angry. In the noisy street, Lu Liangsheng led the old donkey out of an inn and bought a few cakes from the vendor who opened the steamer on the street. He sat on the donkey's back and ate while leisurely walking out of the city gate, continuing the unfinished painting yesterday.

On the way, I passed by the demolished Wutong Temple and saw pilgrims standing in the ruins, carrying out statues of gods to burn incense and worshiping. It can be seen that Wutong God has set up temples here for many years and has been deeply rooted in human life.

Lu Liangsheng sighed, patted the old donkey's mane and walked forward, came to the willows on the lake shore yesterday, put on a frame painting, and continued to outline the unfinished ink marks on it. The water on the lake surface was sparkling, the lotus leaves floated gently, the tip of the pen moved, and the distant view of the lake shore. The birds flying in the pavilion also had the undulating mountains in the distance.

Since learning painting, Lu Liangsheng has no need to inject magic power into his painting journey. The scenery above is vivid. Occasionally, pedestrians who visit occasionally pass by here and see the scholar's paintings, they can't help but stop to appreciate them.

"This young master is so wonderful. If he draws a picture of a beauty, he may not be able to sleep with his arms around him."

"I think it's beautiful. This young master's painting is not cheap, and you can't do it."

"It has spirit and charm, shape and color, it's wonderful."

Those who can visit the shore of Jinhu are mostly literati, elegant guests, talented men and beautiful women, and they have both knowledge of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. It is natural to see whether a painting is good or bad. The pretty beauties brought by everyone secretly look at the scholar who is chatting and laughing with others from time to time, biting his lips and cheeks, causing shyness.

Huh~~

Suddenly, a cold wind blew across the lake shore, and the willow branches were blowing. The onlookers and beautiful women were trembling and trembling.

"Hiss...the wind is really cold."

"It's cool down, let's go, go to the pavilion to sit, recite poems and essays, and drink good wine to drive away the cold. Isn't it beautiful?"

"It should be so!"

A group of people laughed and praised each other, then bowed to Lu Liangsheng, and walked to the pavilion far away with the female family. The woman who had left a few steps also looked back frequently, which made the bookshelf on the old donkey's back shaking.

Looking at the group of people who were laughing and laughing, Lu Liangsheng smiled, comforting Hong Lian in the bookshelf scroll, and took a wolf brush to paint the finished Jinhu painting with some embellishments and details.

"Lu...Classmate Lu."

When Lu Liangsheng heard a familiar voice, he turned his face to look in the direction of the sound. The scholar yesterday looked restrained and was slowly walking, "Did Lu continue his paintings yesterday?"

Seeing that he looked nervous, Lu Liangsheng put down his pen and arched his hands and smiled.

"I haven't finished painting yesterday, I'm worried about it. I came here early this morning. But you shouldn't teach and educate people in the school, why did you come here too?"

As he said that, he invited the other party to sit on a bluestone bench on the lakeshore. Jin Huaian nodded repeatedly, was polite, and sat down. Looking at Lu Liangsheng who was going back to continue painting, his mouth squirmed. Just as he was about to speak, a tourist suddenly passed by and swallowed the words back, hesitantly didn't know how to speak.

After a while, after no one was around, he looked at the scholar with a focused look, clenched his fists, and suddenly stood up, "Class Lu, here... there is something... to ask you."

"Oh?" Lu Liangsheng looked at him, smiled and replied, stopping his brush and looking at the other person with interest, "Did you come here specifically today? You ask."

"Did Lu come from the north?"

"yes."

"Then... classmate Lu came here, but for the sake of hatred of others?"

Hate?

Lu Liangsheng was stunned for a moment, thinking that this teacher would ask something very reasonable, but he was a little confused. He couldn't help laughing and waved his hand: "I came here for the first time and have no grudges with others."

Did I ask the wrong question?

Jin Huaian was a little confused. Perhaps the enemy of Xia Gu's family was not this classmate Lu. Looking at the scholar in front of him, he squeezed his palms uneasyly, and suddenly remembered what Xia Gu said last night, and blurted out the words "Jinhu Family".

On the other side, Lu Liangsheng hovered his brush and frowned slightly. He was about to speak, but Jin Huaian opposite saw that he was silent and knew that he had found the right person, he immediately knelt on the ground with a "bang".

The scholar in front of the easel quickly put down his pen and went up to help him up.

"Get up, get up quickly, why do you suddenly kneel down..."

"Class Lu, Huai'an is begging you for something." Jin Huai'an couldn't get up, so he knelt there, knocking his forehead to the ground, and printing a ball of red marks.

"Huai'an, please let go of Xiagu's family."

Lu Liangsheng looked at Jin Huaian who kept kowtowing without stopping. He probably guessed some clues from his words. He sent someone to bring the seal order, which alarmed the monsters in the lake. The Xia Gu in the other party's mouth should be the family of the old dragon. It seemed that he had a good love for the scholar, so he asked him to come and ask for it.

After a while, he looked at Jin Huaian who was kowtowing, took the brush and drew it on it, and opened his lips lightly.

"Since you already know me, you can also know that the Xia Gu whom you are interested in is this lake monster."

"Spirit...Spirit?"
