Chapter 33
When the shopkeeper of the book shop was about to make a bet, the three people who followed Lin Dabao also joined in the fun, betting that Lin Sanrong would not pass the Tongsheng exam.

The shopkeeper shook his head helplessly and wrote their names, and then each of them signed their fingerprints.

After the incident, Lin Dabao looked at Lin Sanrong and said, "Uncle, if you lose, you will have to pay 200 taels of silver. I think you will lose your entire family to pay for it."

Lin Sanrong was actually a little scared, but at this moment he couldn't be cowardly, "It's too early to say anything, just wait!"

"Okay, then I'll just wait, let's go."

Lin Dabao and his group left the book shop, and when Lin Erbao went out, he turned his head and made faces at Lin Dalang and Ah Li.

It looked like a beating.

After Lin Sanrong returned to the inn, he was not even interested in watching the lanterns.

Ah Li took a bunch of candied haws and handed them to him, "Don't worry, third brother, you will definitely pass the exam!"

Lin Sanrong asked her to eat himself first before biting one.

"Is that why Li Li trusts Third Brother?"

He studies very hard, and the new masters all praised him, saying that it should not be a problem for him to take the entrance examination for children at his current level, so he didn't refuse Li Dabao's provocation and bet today.

But he is also afraid that everything will happen in case.

Ah Li nodded his head, "I believe in Third Brother, and my intuition tells me that you can pass the exam."

"You little girl knows intuition!"

Ah Li ate candied haws and went to play with Si Lang with a smile.

Lin Sanrong also asked Lin Changlu and his wife to plead guilty. After all, if they lose, they will have a lot of money to accompany them, which is related to the future life of the family.

When Mrs. Pei heard this, she was very anxious, and angrily scolded Lin Dabao for being too worthless.

Lin Changlu frowned, thought for a while and said: "I think there is something to do with this matter. If Lili says you can do it, you can do it. From tomorrow on, cheer me up and study hard. After all, time is running out, so don't worry about it when the time comes." Whether you can pass the exam or not, our family will advance and retreat with you."

Lin Darong, Lin Errong, and Zhang's Yan also agreed that they should not put too much pressure on him.

Only then did Lin Sanrong relax.

As night falls, the whole city is full of lights, and the streets and alleys are full of people.

Ah Li's eyes were wide open, and she was especially curious when she watched the lively scene on the street.

The city is full of fiery trees and silver flowers, decorated with lights and festoons, making it very bustling and lively.

On the high platform on the side of the road, there are many activities of guessing lantern riddles and winning lanterns.

Lin Sanrong saw Ah Li staring intently at a colorful rabbit lantern.

"Li Li wants that lantern, let's see the third brother get it for you."

He went up and told the stall owner that he wanted to guess the lantern riddle of the rabbit lantern.

The stall owner said cheerfully: "Young man, this riddle is not simple. Look at the few people next to you who didn't get it right."

"Thank you for reminding me, my sister likes this lantern, and the younger generation wants to try it."

"Okay, then you can guess."

There is a couplet on the lamp, "The white snake crosses the river, with a red sun above the head."

There is also a line of small characters written at the bottom, "Type the daily necessities, and use a riddle to match the next couplet."

After a little thought, Lin Sanrong came up with the next couplet, "Oolong on the wall, wearing ten thousand gold stars."

Then he said that the answer to the two riddles is the oil lamp and the scale beam.

The people next to him suddenly realized that the answer was so simple, and they all applauded him.

The stall owner also shook his head with a smile and took down the rabbit lantern and handed it to Lin Sanrong.

"Not bad, not bad, the younger generation is terrifying."

Lin Sanrong smiled and handed the lantern to Ah Li.

Ah Li was happily jumping up and down holding the rabbit lantern, and said to him softly and cutely, "Thank you, third brother."

The exquisite lanterns are dazzling, and there are juggling performances on the high platform, and various activities emerge in endlessly.

Just as they were enjoying themselves watching, Ah Li on Lin Darong's back suddenly felt that the jade pendant on his neck was hot and flustered.

She immediately shouted to Lin Darong: "Big Brother, Big Brother, I want to go home."

Because there were too many people on the street and the noise continued, Ah Li had no choice but to ask Zhang for help.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I want to come down."

Mrs. Zhang saw Ah Li's expression was wrong, and immediately patted Lin Darong to make him stop first.

Seeing this, the others stopped and gathered around to ask what was wrong.

Ah Li leaned into Pei's ear and said that she wanted to go home.

Mrs. Pei thought Ah Li was feeling unwell, so she asked everyone to continue playing.

After giving some instructions, she and Lin Changlu took Ah Li back to the inn first.

Anyway, they are old and don't like such lively occasions.

Ah Li's jade pendant, which had just returned to the inn, was even hotter. She wondered if something had happened to the jade pendant Lu Qingling gave her.

So crying and wanting to go back to the village, Pei and Lin Changlu had no choice but to ask the shopkeeper to leave a message for their son. They went back to the village first, and asked them to come back tomorrow.

After making the arrangements, he rushed back to the village with Ah Li without stopping.

At the entrance of the village, Ah Li shouted to go to Lu's house, and the coachman drove the carriage back to Lu's house first.

Ah Li got out of the carriage and ran directly to Lu Qingling's bedroom as if he had sensed it.

Mrs. Pei and Lin Changlu were also very surprised. They saw that no one came out from the courtyard. Did something happen to the Lu family?

They also followed A Li and walked forward.

When Ah Li entered Lu Qingling's bedroom, there were several people standing inside. She squeezed in through the crack, and saw Lu Qingling on the bed with her eyes closed, her face was as pale as paper, as if she had lost all life.

"Miss Ah Li, why are you here?"

Lu Yun was a little surprised to see Ah Li who suddenly appeared in front of the bed. After all, they should be watching lanterns in the city at this moment.

"What's wrong with Brother Ling, why don't you open your eyes, is he asleep?"

"Young Master, I'm afraid he will die."

Standing beside him was the doctor Feng Yi who had been taking care of Lu Qingling's body, and he shook his head, "I thought that the young master's illness had improved a while ago, but now it seems that everything is just a flashback."

The guards stood aside and lowered their heads, feeling uncomfortable for a while.

Ah Li didn't understand what it meant to return to the light, but she understood that Lu Qingling was going to die, because an old man in the village just fell ill and died a few days ago, and her mother explained it to her seriously.

When a person is gone, that person no longer exists in the world.

With a wow, she rushed to the bedside and grabbed Lu Qingling's hand and cried, "Brother Ling, don't fall asleep, get up quickly, Lili will accompany you to read books, write with you, and eat delicious food with you..."

Lin Changlu and his wife also rushed to the door. Seeing Ah Li crying, they didn't care that this was someone else's house, so they hurried in.

When they saw so many people in the room, they felt a "thump" in their hearts, and then they saw Ah Li pulling Lu Qingling, who was lying on the bed with her eyes closed and her face as pale as death, crying.

The two adults suddenly understood what was going on, and looked at each other. Pei covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face.

Although they didn't know each other for a long time, they liked Lu Qingling very much after they got in touch. He was sincere and polite to others, and he was kind to Ah Li and the Lin family. They all remembered it in their hearts.

I didn't expect such an excellent child to be so unlucky.
