Chapter 6: Go to the examination room

"Will you pick the lock?" whispered another slightly chubby man in black. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"No, it won't. ”

"Then will you do light work?"

The shorter man in black then shook his head: "No." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ So how do we get up?"

The man in black repeated stupidly: "yes, how do you go up?"

The fat man in black slapped his forehead, looked left and right, and pointed to the firewood piled up under the wall: "Step on them and climb up." ”

"But ......" The man in black wanted to speak and stopped, with the intention of retreating.

"What are you afraid of, you don't have to bear it if something happens!"

The two men in black argued under the wall before they clumsily pulled each other over the exterior wall and climbed to the eaves, facing the window of the second-floor guest room.

"Eleven, twelfth, thirteen" The dwarf man in black stretched out his hand and pointed and counted in a low voice: "...... This is it!"

He couldn't help but shout in excitement.

"Shh......h You're looking for death so loudly!, I didn't see it, and the lights were on!" Another slightly chubby man in black wanted to kick him down.

The document inn was silent, except for the candlelight from the window on the north side of the second floor.

"Hasn't he slept yet?" said the man in black.

"Possibly. "Slightly chubby in black.

The two of them grunted for a while, and cautiously stepped on the roof tiles to the window. The shorter man in black ripped off his mask, and his fingers were dipped in saliva and he was about to poke the window paper.

"What are you going to do?" the fat man in black asked, holding him in confusion.

"Poke the window paper, that's what it's written in the novel. ”

The fat man in black almost wanted to go crazy: "I...... How can I have such a stupid nephew as you. Isn't there a shadow! The man hasn't slept yet, he's reciting it!"

The man in black said, "Then how do we start?"

"We're not here to kill. ”

"But if the old lady knows...... The little ones are afraid ......."

"Even if the old lady knows, it has nothing to do with the two of us. Besides, are you afraid of the old lady or the second ...... Look, he moved...... Are you going to sleep?"

……

The candle flame flickered, causing the room to flicker and flicker.

A person lying on his side on the bed, only showing a graceful back. A young man of twelve or thirteen years old sat at a desk, holding a book in his hand and reading carefully, and the silence flowed through the room.

It's early spring, and the nights are cool.

The person on the bed probably felt cold, and his body curled up slightly.

This caught the attention of the young man at the table, who put down his book and looked at the bed, then shook his head and chuckled, stood up and walked to the side of the bed to cover the bedside with the quilt.

Maybe this is also a good fortune?

Li Xianyuan said in his heart, help Ji Canghai tuck the quilt, because it is very close, the light fragrance is fragrant, this is the taste of Ji Canghai.

Ji Canghai's curled body gradually stretched out, he slept very sweetly, and the sweet curvature of the corners of his lips could not be erased, like a fox spirit that had eaten honey.

Li Xianyuan returned to the table and sat down, picked up the book and was about to continue reading, when some movement attracted his attention.

Squeak -

Two mice, one large and one small, came in through the hole in the corner wall, and the big mouse at the head looked at it, and quickly ran to Li Xianyuan's feet, and went into the book basket in front of him to look for food. I don't know if I'm not afraid of people or ignore Li Xianyuan.

"......" Li Xianyuan was speechless, and with a slight pick of his toes, he kicked over the book basket and buckled the two mice upside down.

The movement he made was a little louder, and the sound of overturning woke Ji Canghai.

"What's wrong?" Ji Canghai turned over and looked over with sleepy eyes.

"It's just two little mice. Li Xianyuan said calmly.

"Uncle, heβ€”he's found us!" Outside the window, the shorter man in black grabbed the arm of the other man, nervously covered with cold sweat.

"Be quiet, he's just a teenager, and he's not a martial arts person, how can he be so sharp. Wait. ”

Ji Canghai closed his eyes again and hummed vaguely: "Oh...... What is the plan of the prime minister? ”

Xianggong didn't just call his husband by his wife in ancient times, so Li Xianyuan didn't care, and said: "Since they came here secretly, they must be doing shady things, so there is no need to keep them." ”

"Five horses are still hanged, do you need a sword from the sea? Ji Canghai subconsciously replied vaguely.

"I don't have to make a big deal of it, I'll do it. Li Xianyuan said and stood up.

"He's standing up!" On the tile outside the window, the man in short black pointed to the silhouette of Li Xianyuan standing up, and he couldn't say anything.

"Withdraw, withdraw, stay any longer and die. Under the window, the fat man in black had beads of sweat on his face, dragged another person whose face turned white with fright, and fled in a hurry.

Smack-

"What's the matter again......" Ji Canghai heard the movement and opened one eye with difficulty. I saw Li Xianyuan half-squatting on the ground and picking up the scattered books.

"I let the rats go. Li Xianyuan put the books back into the basket one by one, and replied without raising his head.

"Xianggong is really compassionate...... Hey...... "Ji Canghai smirked, hugged the quilt and muttered a few times before falling asleep again.

After sorting out the books, Li Xianyuan sat back in his seat and picked up the books on the table again.

He looked sideways at the window slightly, his eyes calm.

"The people of the Li family...... The third watch sent people here in the middle of the night, what the hell are they going to do. ”

Today's clues are not enough for Li Xianyuan to sort out his thoughts, only some whimsical and unreliable associations. For example, he is the long-lost young master of the Li family.

You can ignore these for now. The top priority is the child test. This will be the foundation of my foothold here, and there is no room for error.

Li Fu ......

……

Twitter――

The birds landed on the eaves and jumped a few times.

In the early morning, a ray of sunlight pierces the sky. The city is gradually rejuvenated, and the stalls selling breakfast are out early, and the streets are gradually becoming more and more pedestrians. Xiao Er yawned and pushed open the door of the inn and moved the signboard to the door.

Ji Canghai stretched his waist lazily, rubbed his eyes, and didn't notice that the neckline of his robe was wide open. He tilted his head slightly and saw Li Xianyuan arranging his sideburns.

"Didn't you sleep?" just woke up, Ji Canghai's voice was like a lazy kitten.

Li Xianyuan stood up straight, and meticulously combed his long hair into Taoist sideburns with the help of the bronze mirror: "I slept for a while, just get up early." ”

"What time has it been? ”

"Tatsushi. ”

Ji Canghai suddenly came to his senses and propped himself up: "Do you want to go to the examination room, I will go with you too!"

"Whatever you want. But before that. Li Xianyuan stopped his movements, walked to the side of the bed and looked down at Ji Canghai, and said with a flat face: "You are gone." ”

"Ahh

Smack-

Screams and loud crunches echoed through the room.

……

On the street, a young man walked in front, followed by a young girl in a Taoist robe.

Passers-by couldn't help but look sideways, just because the right side of the young man's face had an incomparably clear red palm print, which was slightly swollen. Some good aunts hid in the corner, pointing and whispering to this side.

"Right...... I'm sorry. Ji Canghai's voice was pitiful, and he didn't dare to look at Li Xianyuan when he lowered his head.

"It doesn't matter. With the palm print, Li Xianyuan's expression was still indifferent.

"I'm sorry ......"

"It doesn't matter. ”

"I didn't mean to. ”

"It's okay......"

The two of them chattered like this, and came to the examination room one after the other. Ji Canghai's hands are not heavy, and the palm prints on his cheeks are so faint that they are invisible.

I saw a large number of people standing in the open space outside the examination room, all of whom were relatives and friends who came to send them off. They were kept at a distance by soldiers and were not allowed to approach.

There were as many as 1,200 people in the queue in front of the examination room, and they were all participating in the children's examination. After passing the inspection of soldiers and invigilators at the entrance of the examination room, they poured into the compound of the examination room.

There are many middle-aged people with pale sideburns and old men in the team. This made Li Xianyuan think that not everyone was as prophetic as himself, and he began to read and write at the age of one. There are many people who have studied hard for decades and achieved nothing.

The crowd was a little impatient, and Li Xianyuan, who had an indifferent temperament, and Ji Canghai, a delicate girl, were very conspicuous.

The county examination is not as cumbersome as the prefectural examination, and as long as you finish answering the papers, you can hand in the papers and leave the examination room, and the examination starts at the hour and ends at three o'clock in the afternoon. Li Xianyuan said a few words to Ji Canghai, and then left the black crowd and lined up in the line.

For the important county test, who would come so late like Li Xianyuan, they all arrived early and even stood guard at the door before dawn. So Li Xianyuan deservedly became the last place in the team, which also made him a little more conspicuous.

"Immortal Yuan-Xianyuan-"

Not long after, Li Xianyuan heard someone in the noisy crowd shouting for him, and couldn't help but turn his head to look.

A figure in the crowd jumped up and down, waving his hands to make himself easier to spot. Seeing that Li Xianyuan noticed him, he hurriedly squeezed away the crowd in front of him and waved his arms: "Xianyuan is me, Erniu!"

Li Xianyuan was slightly stunned, turned his head and looked at the team, and he couldn't line himself for a while. Immediately break away from the group and walk towards the crowd.

"That kid...... Where is he going. In front of the examination room, the county man in charge of the invigilator noticed Li Xianyuan, who had left the team.

"It doesn't matter. Dressed in a scribe's uniform beside him, the bachelor sent by the Xinjing Imperial Court as the chief examiner glanced over there and spoke.
