Chapter 106: Hands-on (Medium)
Dali Temple, Heavenly Prison.
The dim dungeon is filled with a disgusting rancid smell. It was the middle of spring, and flies and insects were everywhere, hovering on the cold and damp straw. The location of the cell was not good, from the outside, it looked more like a cellar, and although it effectively ensured safety, it also caused a thin layer of stagnant water to seep into the ground.
A string of yellowish urine sprinkled on the floor, making the cell even dirtier.
Strangely, the cell was noisy, but it was silent, and deep gasps could be heard from the abdominal cavity.
"Brother Shixiu, you say, how can we have anything to do with the Turkic spies, you and my father and brother are both officials in the court, and there is no shortage of glory and wealth, so we can go to the Turks...... Collusion? β
"That is, if you want to make a mistake, it's also the bookstore's business, so what's the matter with me?"
"Forget it, forget it, haven't you seen it yet? Even if there are Turkic spies, how can they all be captured, and ...... We've been hungry for two days and two nights, and when I go out, I'm going to eat in Ganxianglou for three days, and then my little brother will treat you......."
But before they could finish speaking, their hungry heads became dizzy.
During the two days in prison, several of them did not eat a grain of rice or water, and their heads were already swollen with hunger and their limbs were weak. It's not that the jailers didn't give them food, it's just ....... The food placed at the door of the cell was unbearable for them, not only was it crudely cooked, but the dishes and chopsticks were dirty, and from time to time a few round cockroaches and mice were bouncing on it.
You know, in their home, the food eaten by the next person is many times higher than that in front of them?
"Footsteps? Could it be that His Majesty ordered us to be released? Is it an angel? Dickson leaned against the haystack, licked his dry and pale lips, and said angrily.
Five days are coming, and it's noon today, and it's only half an hour away.
But the strange thing is that his current state of mind is flat, like an old man fishing by the river, and his heart is not at all turbulent.
"Since the beginning of spring from Jinyang to Chang'an, Sheng Yunzhai's mind hasn't eaten for half a year, I don't know what it's like now?"
After saying that, he swallowed his saliva, soaking the dryness in his throat.
"A spoonful of food, a bean soup, if you get it, you live, and if you get it, you die!" Di Zhixon opened his confused eyes, casually glanced at the cheerful meal that the mouse was eating, and his heart flashed with disdain.
And out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of ....... A green-robed official surrounded by palace attendants around the corner.
Flies and angels are not the same thing!
The family of Shilu has its own pride, and he would rather die on a hunger strike than live humbly like a dog, licking the rice stains on the edge of the bowl.
"Luckily....... I survived. The corners of Di Zhison's mouth rose a little, and he mustered up the last trace of energy, and reluctantly got up, slightly straightening his somewhat messy round-necked robe.
He was a warrior, like Boyi and Shuqi who starved to death in Shouyang Mountain without eating Zhou Su.
"Jinyang Shizi, medical student Di Zhixun has seen angels!" He puffed up his chest and smiled confidently, and bowed heavily.
But......
"Brother Di, please hurry up, Han doesn't dare to accept such a big gift from Brother Di."
The smile on Di Zhixun's face froze, and he looked carefully at the official in green official uniform in front of him, who was indeed his classmate, he had received help, and he had "slandered" - Zhou Han!
"You...... How? How could you? This is impossible, I Di Zhixun is a famous family in Jinyang, my fiancΓ©e is the daughter of the Taiyuan Wang family, and my father is Shangshu Zuocheng...... Since childhood, he studied poetry and books, at the age of thirteen, he studied in Yangzhou, Suzhou, Jinling and other places, at the age of sixteen, he apprenticed to the world's famous Confucianism, governed by scriptures, and went to the border of Liangzhou at the age of eighteen to learn archery and horses, and after three years of small success, he went to Chang'an to seek fame, so he joined the medical school, in order to ....... the imperial examination this year"
Di Zhixun's face was haggard, his eyes were dim, he sometimes laughed loudly, sometimes beat his chest, and after a long time, he laughed miserably: "The dean said that the winner of the competition ...... I personally recommend it to Your Majesty, it seems that I don't have to wait until noon, the outcome has been decided...... Yes and no! β
He was a bit hysterical, like a crazy gambler, who pressed everything and lost everything.
"What, Zhou Han won, he won?"
"Holy Lord, Dean, what an injustice, what an injustice!"
The remaining three scholars of the family also fell into a frenzy, shouting unfairness sentence by sentence, but completely forgetting the penny they had secretly stuffed in the submission.
As Dejerson asked before, they think that the victory is assured, but they are willing to increase the probability of winning from 100 percent to 1,000 percent.
But after exhausting everything, I didn't expect to usher in a loss!
Two days and two nights, hungry for two days and two nights, woke up ....... The world has changed.
Zhou Han's brows tightened, he pursed his thin lips, took a food box from the palace man's hand, carefully placed it at the door of the cell, and said: "Han's knowledge is naturally inferior to yours, but you keep shouting fairly, but is it really fair to Zhou Han?" β
He arched his hand in the northwest direction of the palace, and said, "The problem that the dean raised on the Gewu Zhizhi Tablet is to solve the principle of transforming sand and gravel into glass, not to read the splendid article you wrote. This nine-grade official uniform, cold ..... Well deserved! β
How can the sand and gravel at the bottom of the shoes become a thousand gold glass?
Without him, just forge ahead.
Di Zhixon complained that they had also worked hard for several days to submit a letter, but who knew that he had been thinking all night for more than ten days! Study!
In those days, in order to collect evidence in person, I personally trekked to Wujia Village, Jingyang County, to ask the craftsmen who fired the glaze. When the son of the family participated in the banquet in Chang'an, he read at night and mended his clothes......
"This food box is filled with dishes cooked by Pingkangfang's drunken immortal building, as well as the daughter of Shaoxing for thirty years, I hope that your classmates can ignore the past suspicions, eat first, and release your orders....... I'm afraid we'll have to wait for tomorrow. β
Zhou Han was about to turn around after speaking, but he hesitated again: "The wine and food are not delicious when they are cold." β
But he didn't expect it at all, Di Zhixon smiled coldly, and struggled to tear the corner of the round-necked robe and throw it outside the prison. In ancient times, Uncle Bao and Guan Zhong cut off their relations, and today I Di Zhixun obeyed you Zhou Han, but there is no love between you and me!
The day before yesterday's help, it was Di Zhixun's kind heart, and when he met a beggar on the road, he should also untie his robe and release his clothes to hide the cold body. β
After that, he picked up the ugly food soaked in the sewage, ate it in a big gulp, looked at Zhou Han's back as he gradually moved away, and secretly clenched his fists, "At the imperial examination ceremony in September this year, I, Di Zhixun, will definitely win the hairpin....... Cross-horse street day, when it is snow shame day! β
PS: Two more before twelve o'clock today, and then before six o'clock tomorrow morning, there will be a total of five watches, 10,000 words, and I also ask book friends to give some motivation and let persimmons explode.
