Lu Palace, Ji Mansion, and Lege all went to find it. But before he reached the door, he was stopped by the guards and did not let him approach. If you ask a few more questions, the guards will beat you. In desperation, I had to leave.

Seemingly? Confucius is not yet famous!

Even the name Kongqiu is not known by many people.

Qufu City is not big, and all the places that should be found have been found, but there is no whereabouts of Kongqiu.

Auntie is a new daughter-in-law, and not many people know about it. So! Lege didn't ask.

On the fifth day, Le Ge remembered: Confucius was not a nobleman or a rich man, how could he live in Qufu City? Isn't it?

The people who live in the city are rich people.

Qufu City is not big, but the Qufu area is big.

There is no way, Lege can only go to the suburbs to find it. You can only use the most stupid way to find it from village to village.

There is a small river not far from Qufu City, which may be a seasonal river, and the river is very wide at this time. On the surface of the river, debris floated, as if there was a flood from above.

Waterfowl chirp happily and fly close to the surface of the river, looking for the food they want.

Lege rode his horse and walked downstream along the riverbank in search of nearby villages.

"Ahh

That's it! Not far away came the howl of a man. The voice seemed very sad and angry, as if a person was in a desperate situation.

Then! A vague figure sprang out of the grass and ran along the riverbank. And then! A jump, a plunge into the river.

"Not good! Someone jumped into the river! Lege shouted anxiously.

The kindness of human nature made him instinctively anxious and hurried forward.

has traveled all the way from the Song Kingdom, and has been walking for more than half a year, and Lege has seen too many things. In the turmoil of the Spring and Autumn Period, he was able to understand it. It is also conceivable that someone will commit suicide if they can't survive.

Urging the horse to come closer, Lege felt strange?

On the stone table on the embankment, clothes are neatly stacked. Under the stone table, there is a pair of large shoes. On top of the clothes, there is also a roll of bamboo slips.

This bamboo slip is also special and new. It seems that it is not a bamboo slip made by a professional craftsman, but a private one. It's unprofessional, but it's clean.

The so-called stone table, that is, a large flat stone. Underneath the flat large boulders, several small boulders are supported. Around the stone table, there were several stools made of flat stone. Over here! It should be a place for adults to play cards, rest, and drink tea.

The ground around the stone table is smooth, so people should come here to rest and play often.

At this time, the season in the north is still very cold, and it is impossible for someone to take a bath. Furthermore! There is no such way to take a bath? Isn't it?

And also! The melting of the snow and the rain make the river turbid and not suitable for bathing at all.

But the scene in front of me is very much like taking a bath.

Lege dismounted and looked at the river. On the river! The river swirled naturally, and there was nothing unusual at all, as if no one had jumped into the river just now.

That's it! Suddenly, a human head popped up on the surface of the river.

The head came out of the water and swayed a few times. Then! Let out a howl!

"Ahh

With the howl! The man swam into the heart of the river.

And then again! The head retracted into the river.

The river was calm again, as if nothing had happened.

"Get up! What's not to think of? Get up! Lege kindly shouted at the man on the river.

"I tell you! Alive! Better than anything else! ”

He still thought that the other party had committed suicide.

It's likely that he didn't drown just now, and he wants to drown himself again.

After a long time, there was still no movement on the river. Lege confirmed that this time the other party may have drowned.

He was going to lean down and check the clothes of the suicide victim so that he could follow the clues to find the suicide's family and report to him.

When he picked up the bamboo slips and grabbed his clothes, he suddenly froze.

Under the clothes, there is also a sword.

This is a very beautiful sword, and it is also a sword that Lege is very familiar with.

This sword is the same sword that he used to assassinate Confucius. It was the ancestral sword of the Qiguan Xiong family, the sword that he sharpened to shine.

"Confucius?" Lege couldn't help but exclaim.

He didn't recognize the clothes in front of him. But this sword, he can't forget. Because! It was he who sharpened the sword with his own hands.

"Ahh

Then! There was another howl over the river!

But! The howling soon stopped. And then again! There was the sound of arms lapping against the water.

"Who? Who are you? ”

On the river! Confucius shouted in panic.

"Confucius!" Le Ge exclaimed. He heard the voice, it was the voice of Confucius.

He hurriedly turned around and looked towards the river.

Saw! Confucius swam anxiously to the shore, his eyes kept looking at him.

"Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law! I'm Lege! ”

Le Ge put down the reins of the horse, jumped off the river embankment, and went up to meet Confucius.

It's true! There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them. After looking for so long, I finally found Confucius unintentionally.

"Ahh Yes! Yes! ”

Outcome! After joy comes sorrow! Accidentally, Lege's body fell backwards. And then! Quickly slid down the riverbank.

"Whew!" Seeing his master slipping into the river, the jujube red horse couldn't help but neigh.

"Be careful!" Confucius hurriedly went ashore and ran over.

It was almost time to reach the river, and the music stopped.

"Brother-in-law! I'm so hard to find you! Whining! Le Ge said with a smile.

"Lege! Lege? How are you? When Confucius saw that it was a musical song, he stood on the spot.

But! After a pause, he walked over quickly and held up the music that was crawling up.

"It had just rained and the embankment was slippery! Songs! How did you get here? You've grown taller! You're growing strong, too! Songs! Walk! Walk! Go home! ”

Confucius grabbed Lege's clothes and pulled them up the embankment.

When he arrived at the stone table on the embankment, Confucius shivered, didn't ask anything more, and went directly to the grass with his clothes in his arms and changed his clothes.

When he went down to the river just now, he was wearing close-fitting clothes and shirtless.

Lege looked at his soiled clothes and couldn't cry or laugh.

I thought: It seems? The image of a fool in my music can't be changed!

Nima Di! Why are you so unlucky?

Isn't it? I was so happy when I saw Confucius that I ran to the river. I wanted to express my emotions, but it ended up destroying my image.

Originally, he was very clean, decent and handsome. Outcome! ……

To know! It's been more than half a year since I left the mountain village, and I accidentally found Confucius, can I not be happy and excited?

Confucius took off his little clothes, put them in his hands, put on dry clothes, and came out.

"Lege? How did you find here? Confucius looked at Le Ge and asked as he walked.

"Brother-in-law! You just scared the hell out of me! I thought someone had killed themselves! ”

"Suicide?"

"I thought someone had killed themselves by jumping into the river!"

"Suicide?" Confucius nodded and said, "I'm just depressed!" I was so panicked that I jumped into the river to calm down! ”

"Oh? Didn't you kill yourself? ”

"Why did I kill myself? I killed myself, what should I do with your aunt? And what about your nephew? "Confucius is colorful.

"My nephew? My sister gave birth to her? ”

"Where is it so fast? It's going to be a few months! Let's go! Come home! Go home! If your sister knew that you were coming, she would still be so happy that she would cry? Confucius said, come and clean up the things on the stone table.
