Chapter 143: Almost Died
Originally, I thought I would die silently, but unexpectedly, a heavy rain fell in the sky, which woke me up directly. The cold raindrops kept falling on my face, and the ground had become shiny. I looked at the rain arrows in the sky and unconsciously shed tears.
Why, why did I come to this era? Why is there no way to prove your identity in this day and age, who am I? I am the famous Dongfang Shuo of the Han Dynasty, and I am the emperor's favorite minister, why did I end up like this?
Oh my God, are you playing with me!
If I had a cell phone, I could call the police, and if I had the strength, I could crawl to a lighted place and call for help. However, none of this is left, there is just endless darkness and icy raindrops.
Ah, you're going to die, like a worm dying in the dark, and no one else will look at you. Also, this is in ancient times, during the Han Dynasty, a person died, very simple.
I'm not a big official, nor a celebrity, this body looks like it's called Hanako, who cares about the life or death of a person named Hanako?
Die, die, die!
The spiritual power was really unsupportable, and with endless resentment, he passed out directly.
"Ah, my head is still hot......" I heard a man's voice in a daze. Then, feel a towel draped directly over your forehead.
It's so cool, it's ...... Am I dead and why do I feel so comfortable? This must be dead, I'm dead!
No, I can't die, I haven't seen Xiaorou yet, how can I die like this?
I don't know what happened next, maybe I fell asleep in a daze.
When I woke up again, I realized what had happened. It turned out that I didn't die, but I was saved by a bookish man, this guy looks a little younger than me, only 23 years old, called Shen Zhongyuan.
Shen Zhongyuan is a poor man, his parents died freely, and he grew up in his uncle's house. When he was 18 years old, his uncle also died, leaving him to live alone. This guy is a scholar, he only thinks about gaining fame, and he doesn't know anything about the money and salt in life.
In the few days since I woke up, I talked to him a lot and got a general idea of his situation. Although Shen Zhongyuan said that he was very lacking in this aspect of life, he had a good neighbor. This neighbor is Uncle Chen. Uncle Chen has no other skills, so he buys steamed buns in Chang'an City. He has a daughter named Xiaorui, who is still good-looking, I have seen it a few times.
Although there are many things that will be done in ancient times, for example, things between men and women are very obscure and very feudal. However, there is no constraint between these two people. It's not that these two people have an improper relationship between men and women.
The reason is that these two people grew up and can be regarded as childhood sweethearts.
Uncle Chen didn't say anything about this. After all, the two of them grew up watching themselves, and they know what kind of personality and temperament.
When Shen Zhongyuan was chatting with me, he said, "You wait, wait until I win the champion, I will definitely marry Cui'er." ”
"Zhongyuan, have you ever taken the Xiucai exam?" In ancient times, scholars should have been admitted to a show before they could have any hope of moving forward. However, this show is the lowest threshold, and there are still a lot of exams before you can go to the national examination room. There are a lot of students there. If you can break through here, you will have the opportunity to meet the emperor.
Of course, this breakthrough refers to the top three, champions, lists, and flowers!
"Not yet, I ...... I don't have it right now. When he said this, he was a little disappointed. People say that it is very difficult to go to Chang'an to catch the exam, but who knows that the people who originally lived in Chang'an are also very hard.
In Chang'an, because I have seen the warmth and coldness of the world, I really realized what it means to be unfair.
If there is no one to recommend here, you will not be able to enter the exam at all. Those who can take the exam are people with backgrounds behind them.
"Don't worry, if I recover from my injury, I recommend you." Seeing his lost eyes, I felt uncomfortable. After all, he is his own life-saving benefactor, and this little favor still needs to be helped. How can I say that I am also a celebrity around the emperor, and it is not a matter of minutes to recommend individual exams.
"You...... Forget it. "Shen Zhongyuan didn't believe what I said at all, after all, I was saved by him when I lost my soul, and I was almost like a beggar at that time. Who would believe the words of a beggar, what a dog of the day.
Actually, I don't blame him, after all, seriously, I can't tell him who I am. It's not because I don't believe in Shen Zhongyuan, after all, I am a man, and I still want to save face. I just want to quietly raise myself with him, and then go to the emperor.
At that time, I told him that my name was Wang Jiu, that is, Wang Ba's brother.
At this moment, I heard the shouting and scolding of several men outside, and just listening to the voices, I didn't feel like I was easy to mess with.
"Grandma's, Xiao Yuanzi, should you pay us back?"
"It's bad, it's Wang Debiao and they're here." Shen Zhongyuan's expression tightened, and he hurriedly said. "Who, why do you talk so badly?" I still felt pain all over my body, so I just sat on the bed and asked him. He frowned and said, "Don't talk, they're not easy to mess with, I'll go out and take a look." ”
Well? Does Shen Zhongyuan owe them money?
Puzzled, I put on my shoes and cautiously went to the door, watching what was happening in the yard.
There were three people who came, and in the middle was a bald man with a fat head and big ears, dressed in black, and the word "Rui" was embroidered on the chest. This guy is not short, he is a head taller than Shen Zhongyuan, and he looks like a fierce man. Behind him were two big men, a little shorter than the one in between, dressed in the same clothes.
Shen Zhongyuan was opposite them, with a submissive expression, as if he was afraid of them.
"Brother Biao, you know, I don't have any money on me, look at me, my family is surrounded by walls, where is the money? How about you, how many days will you give me a few days? ”
When the big man in the middle heard this, he glared directly and said, "Grandma, you kid is less fucking nonsense." Remember what you said when you borrowed money? Don't admit it now? ”
"Brother Biao, it's not me who dare. You know, I just borrowed five taels of silver from you, and said that I would pay back six taels in ten days. But...... Hey, a little change has happened in the middle......" Shen Zhongyuan's face was aggrieved, I also know about this matter. It was ten days ago that when Uncle Chen was buying steamed buns on the street, he was kicked down by a general's horse. When he was taken to the hospital, the doctor read it and gave him the herbs directly.
At that time, Uncle Chen's family couldn't take out so much silver, and Shen Zhongyuan saw that he had no choice but to borrow money from a loan shark. But he is talking about borrowing five taels of silver, and ten days later he will pay back six taels.
