Chapter 3 Pass the Preliminary Examination

After lying on the bed for a few days, the child's body and bones recovered quickly, and he felt that the pain in his whole body had been reduced a lot, so he struggled to get off the ground.

The harsh training she had experienced had made her accustomed to being cruel to herself. After all, sometimes, being kind to oneself is an opportunity to give one's opponent.

She knew that it was far better to be more active at this time than to lie down all day, so she held on to a few pieces of broken furniture in the house every day and stepped forward step by step. Not to mention, her injuries are indeed a little better.

The only thing that makes Ran a little unaccustomed is the gruel with green vegetables every day, and he is a little fluttery when he drinks it, and it is estimated that his little face must be full of vegetables.

Xu was afraid that the Wang family's mansion would come over and forcibly ask for someone, but her mother didn't dare to wait until she was fully recovered, so she packed a small bag, which was actually just a few barely neat half-used clothes, and a jade hairpin that seemed to be very inconspicuous, which was said to have been given to her mother by her father back then. Before leaving, my mother carefully freshened up.

After all, I couldn't bear to be separated from Ran, and my mother didn't send Ran away in person. However, at the request of her mother, Aunt Wang took Ran's little hand and got on a dilapidated donkey cart.

It took about an hour of jolting before the donkey cart finally stopped. Although Aunt Wang was very considerate and hugged Ran in her arms along the way, she still felt that her small body, which had not fully recovered, was almost about to fall apart. Moreover, being held in her arms so intimately made her feel even more uncomfortable.

I really miss the transportation of the previous life!

The donkey cart stopped in front of the door of a large mansion, but although the door was quite exquisite, it was not spacious, and it was estimated that it should be a side door.

In her previous life, she had studied all kinds of buildings carefully, and she had developed an instinct to understand the environment first wherever she went. After all, the more control you have over the situation you find yourself in, the more you can complete your tasks.

Looking at the environment around the mansion, it seems to be a suburb of the city, not very prosperous, and there are few people in the past. However, the mansion itself is very imposing from the outside, and it is in no way worse than the ancient mansions that he "visited" in his previous life. I didn't know what this was.

"Ranran, when you meet someone, your mouth must be sweeter, remember?" Knocking on the door, Aunt Wang whispered.

"Aunt Wang, where is this?" I didn't miss the opportunity to learn first-hand information.

"Good boy, you'll know when you go in." Aunt Wang's vague words aroused some curiosity.

After a while, the door finally opened with a babbling sound. There was an old woman standing in the door, who looked quite old, although she was very generous with her sideburns, and she had never seen a brocade skirt, but looking at her slightly leaning forward, she knew that the old woman had begun to hunchback.

"Coming?" The old woman glanced at her quickly, and turned away expressionlessly, "Come in with me!" ”

"Yes, Aunt Wang can only send you to the door. When you go in, listen to your grandmothers. If you can get a bright future in the future, don't forget to go back and see your mother again. Aunt Wang let go of Ran's little hand and gently pushed her through the door.

I wanted to go back and ask Aunt Wang a few more words, but the grandmother who opened the door walked a few steps and didn't mean to wait for her, so I had to put down the many questions in my heart and ran a few steps to follow.

She has always adhered to the most basic principle: if you can't control the environment, you must find a way to adapt to it.

Turning around, it was clear that the old lady turned a few corners in the house, and the pavilions and pavilions along the way, the scenery of Qionghua Water Pavilion continued. I didn't care about appreciating it, but silently recalled the route I had traveled all the way in my heart, but it wasn't easy. Although Mama didn't walk very fast, she was helpless to realize that now she is small, her steps are small, and her old injuries have not healed, and she has been bumping on the donkey cart for a long time, and she has been quite tired along the way.

She couldn't help but feel a little funny in her heart, it was really a professional instinct that she couldn't shake off. I don't know what I'm doing here, but I'm already planning an escape strategy!

"It's here, go over by yourself!" Finally, Mama stopped in front of the Xia Pavilion with Zhiran, and turned around and walked away.

Ran was accustomed to Mama's silence, so he only said "Mama go slowly", and then began to look at Naxia Pavilion carefully. The splendid plaque reads "Listening to the Wind Pavilion". It's not so much a pavilion, in her opinion, it's more like an ancient theater she has seen, the pavilion has two floors, surrounded by water on three sides, and the venue in the pavilion is quite wide, but it does have some "listening to the wind" connotation.

There were already more than a dozen little girls standing in the pavilion, and they seemed to be about the same age as Ran, about eight or nine years old. Although the children were neatly dressed, except for two of the girls, whose dresses were fairly passable, the others were ordinary coarse cloth skirts, and some even had patches.

The girls don't seem to know each other.,Some of them are reserved.,Some of them seem to be a little timid.,Only a few of the two are whispering.,It's about to be a little uncomfortable in the new environment.。

"Sister, you're here to take the exam too, right? It's really beautiful, isn't it? One of the girls, who looked very outgoing, smiled kindly and heartily.

"Hmm", she nodded, although she didn't know the purpose of her mother's sending her here, but she didn't want to blow herself up easily. After all, looking at this posture, it seems to have some meaning of a group interview. If the other party is about to become an opponent, of course, you should not take it lightly.

In just a moment, several brocade-clothed women in falling clouds and sideburns walked into this "Listening to the Wind Pavilion" from the path that they passed when they came, and they sat down in front of each other one after another, and behind each stood a teenage girl.

Or they had never seen such a formation, and the row of little girls in the pavilion immediately fell silent, and some of them were a little afraid, and unconsciously lowered their faces slightly. However, she still calmly and carefully looked at this group of women, after all, she had experienced a lifetime, and she was naturally very different from these other little girls who had just entered the world.

It's just that she forgot that ordinary girls of eight or nine years old should not have this calmness and calmness.

The six women sat silently, and it was clear that this was about the examiners. Although they are dressed in the same color and makeup, their styles and temperaments are different. Some are glamorous and charming, some are elegant and arrogant, some are graceful and luxurious, and some are solemn and calm. The one in the middle has a good makeup and a quiet temperament, so I guess she should be the examiner.

Sure enough, I saw the woman in the middle nodding slightly, and the little girl behind her spoke. "Sisters, since you have come to this Yiluo Fang, you must be hoping to find a bright future here. However, whether they can stay in the end depends on the qualifications of the sisters for a while. I saw her lightly slap her palm, and someone sent some cases into the pavilion in an orderly manner. The objects placed on the table are different, such as needle and thread brocade, pen, ink and paper, and various musical instruments.

Since there is still an interview, why is my mother so sure that she will be able to get in? Ran speculated that his little face might have inherited some of his mother's demeanor. However, it is unknown whether it will be a blessing or a curse in the future.

Together with other girls, they participated in these test items one by one at the direction of the examiner. I thought I didn't know anything about female red. But when he picked up the needle and thread, he seemed to be enlightened instantly, and he unconsciously sewed out a small sachet.

In my heart, I was glad at the same time, but I felt bad at the same time. It seems that this body still retains some of the small memories of the past, and it is unknown whether it will be a hidden danger in the future. She has always disliked things that she is not sure of, especially now that she is here, she should be the only master.

Writing and painting are actually familiar with the road, after all, this is her specialty in her previous life. The master once said that to test whether a killer has a stable mind, it is not necessary to look at his performance in fighting with a knife, in fact, it can be seen at a glance from his calligraphy and paintings. Therefore, he has worked calligraphy and painting.

However, in order to conform to her identity as an eight or nine-year-old girl now, she deliberately left some immature traces in her brushstrokes.

And the various instruments are completely incomprehensible, and some have never even seen them, so they simply gave up this competition.

The level of other girls is also uneven, most of the female celebrities are good, but some of the needlework is rough, and some of them are a little embarrassed.

But not every girl can write and paint, and most of them seem to be illiterate. As for the instruments, only one girl played a piece of pista, and the other girl offered to dance a part. Although they are only the age of children, but looking at their level, in her previous life, they can also reach the national standard.

After this competition, I clearly estimated my strength, and it was about the upper middle level. It's just that I don't know how many students will be admitted in this exam, and I feel a little uncertain. But look at the other girls around, some are excited, some are frustrated, but they are all quite nervous, and they smile unconsciously, after all, they are just little girls!

And what made Ran feel even more surprised was that these little girls in the competition tossed down, although the level was uneven, but the examiners on the main seat were not shocked, and there was neither satisfaction nor disdain on their faces. She admired the determination of these examiners.

I saw several examiners circle and click on the list in front of them a few times, and then summarized them into the hands of the little girl behind the chief examiner. After counting them one by one, she whispered a few words in the examiner's ear, and when she saw the examiner nodding, she turned around and walked out of the pavilion. After a while, several old women walked in after her, and under her guidance, they wanted to take a few girls away.

"A few sisters, I'm sorry, I'm afraid that our Yiluofang and you don't have a deep fate, so I'm sorry to let you run for nothing, let's go out with the grandmothers." So, each of them took a little girl and walked out of the pavilion one after another.

About touching is unwilling to fail the competition, or reluctant to leave this picturesque place, and I'm afraid there are also people like Ran who have no way out, in short, when a few girls were taken away, they couldn't help crying, and they were a little bored.

She had never seen a similar scene, and among the companions who grew up with her in the previous life, too many children were eliminated at different times. It's just that the girl in front of her now, although she has come out of this splendid place, may always be able to find other ways to live. And those children back then, I am afraid that they will not be able to do their lives.

Again and again, as there were fewer and fewer companions around her, she was no longer hesitant, no longer unbearable, and no longer shed tears. She had already made her little heart as cold as ice.

She has only one goal, never to be an outcast child.

After the grandmothers took the losing girls out, the rest of the people on the field, except for Ran, had a sad look on their faces.

Among the remaining girls, they don't necessarily have a skill in the exam, and some are even illiterate. Therefore, I figured out that this exam was actually just a formality, just to see the hearts and qualifications of the little girls.

"Sisters who stayed, congratulations on staying in Yiluo Fang temporarily. Later, Mama will take you to a resting place. Starting tomorrow, someone will come and teach you the rules here. With that, the little girl picked up the examiner, and with the other examiners, they left one by one, leaving only the girls in the pavilion, rejoicing in their luck and speculating on the unknown future.
