The dilapidated computer on the desk was on, downloading a document at the speed of an ant's move.

Rain, boundless torrential rain coming down from the sky, washing over the scaffolding on the opposite construction site.

Sitting in front of the computer, the sweat on Sun Dan's body still kept seeping out. For three consecutive sauna days, the temperature has reached a new summer high of 41 degrees.

The broken air conditioner didn't have time to be repaired, so I was struggling in the snail house, the sweat had completely soaked the short-sleeved shirt on my body, and the smell of stinky hairtail fish spread in the air.

It is hoped that this rain will alleviate the troublesome heat, and it is said that autumn will begin in a few days, and the weather will be cooler. If you last a few days, even if you survive this summer, you can save an air conditioner maintenance fee.

"Is life the word patience, heat is an annoyance, bitterness is an annoyance, as long as you are patient, everything will pass." Sun Dan glanced at the banner posted on the wall, and the ink on it looked a little wet in the moisture. I have been practicing thin gold calligraphy for more than 20 years, because it was soaked in rain, and it looked a little fat and deformed.

Having said that, Sun Dan became more and more uncomfortable in his heart, and there was an inexplicable irritability in his heart.

After graduating from a liberal arts university, he couldn't adapt to the fierce competition in the metropolis, so he returned to his hometown to take the civil service exam and entered the county office. At that time, all the classmates were envious of having an iron rice bowl, and he was proud of it. I thought that after a few years in the system, I could show what I had learned. Even in that second-rate college, I really didn't learn much. But he doesn't think that he is a waste of wood, I am born to be useful, if I encounter a good opportunity, I can always achieve my ambition.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the county office, Sun Dancheng and the two old men drilled into the pile of old newspapers all day long, making a face of dust and ink on both hands, and really became an old bookworm. The county office is a place where birds don't poop, and there are not many people in sight, and it's so quiet that it's scary, and it's a forgotten corner in the county government. On weekdays, I can't even see a single figure, let alone make a difference.

In a blink of an eye, five years have passed, except for the salary adjustment of a few levels, and the face is a little more pale because of the lack of sunlight, Sun Dan looks more and more lonely in the office, and he is even thinking that if he continues like this, he will really become a little old man.

Could it be that the sunny boy who wrote at the beginning was the same as the light, and all living beings were here?

I'm irritable, it's really very irritable.

The windows in the room were completely open, and the torrential rain was still falling endlessly from the sky, and a gust of wind blew, mixed with rain and mist spread through the house, and it was as white as a mist.

The cool air came like water, and Sun Dan felt very refreshed. I was about to moan uncontrollably. But at this time, the computer screen on the table suddenly went black and went out.

"Oops, hard drive, hard drive, you must not have an accident, otherwise, Lao Tzu's work in the past six months will be in vain!"

Sun Dan now lives in a dormitory building in the county government, with only one single room. He only has a salary of more than 1,000 yuan a month, and before he got a sunshine salary, his income was only enough to eat in addition to helping his parents in the countryside. His current computer is still an old machine eliminated from the previous case bureau.,It only cost a hundred yuan when I bought it in 2008.,The configuration is very poor.,Although it's a brand machine.,But once it's installed, it's annoying.,It's so slow that people can't play the game or anything.。

Fortunately, Sun Dan only likes to look up some information on the Internet on weekdays, and he usually likes to write something, but he can barely use it.

Although the broken machine of the Archives Bureau is old, fortunately, the hard disk is large enough to hold a lot of text materials. Recently, Sun Dan is working with the two old men in the office to sort out the humanities and historical materials of the county from the early years of the Ming Dynasty to the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, saying that it is to prepare for the newly developed Confucian Temple Scenic Area in the county.

Speaking of Sun Dan's hometown of Zouping, Shandong, it is really a good place for outstanding people. Qilu since ancient times is the place where the humanities gather and materialize the treasures, from ancient times to today, this place has produced a lot of champions, lifting people, is the hometown of the imperial examination in Shandong in the Ming Dynasty.

In the past few days, all parts of the country have been engaged in tourism development. There is really no good scenic spot here in Zouping, and the only thing that can be done is the Confucian Temple that was built in the late Qing Dynasty and has stood tall after a hundred years of wind and rain. Since there is such a monument, it is natural to make a beautiful article. Repairing and then engaging in some publicity may be able to revitalize the local economy.

To this end, the county government has specially allocated 10 million funds to prepare for a cultural sightseeing park with the Confucian Temple as the core. Hardware things, naturally not the turn of the county office to worry about. Sun Dan's first task now is to collect enough information and write a whole propaganda article.

For this reason, Sun Dan and the two old masters in the office have been busy for several months, collecting a large amount of information, and preparing to do a great job and perform well in front of the leader.

"Maybe it's a good opportunity!" Sun Dan thought so in his heart.

As an ordinary clerk, maybe you only have one such opportunity, as long as you grasp it, you may be able to get ahead.

To this end, he collected all the imperial examination questions, candidate rosters and articles in the province from the Zhengde year of the Ming Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty, and made them into e-books and stored them in his computer. Not only that, but there are also a lot of messy historical evolutions, customs, anecdotes, four books and five classics, as well as a lot of historical research from the Internet, which is full of 50 G's of information.

It took him a long time to collect these things, and now the screen suddenly goes black, and it's a pity if the data is lost. The most important of these is an introductory essay on the history of the imperial examination in my county, which was originally intended to be published in a national journal, but if it is finished with the computer and rewritten, I don't know how much time it will take.

Thinking of this, Sun Dan couldn't help but call out "Amitabha", and hurriedly went under the computer desk to check.

Rain.

The rain is still falling uncontrollably.

Sun Dan had just gotten under the table, when suddenly, a white lightning bolt instantly shot in from outside the window, quickly stabbing the power strip under the table. At the same time, an earth-shattering rumble exploded in Sun Dan's ears. He saw the plastic power strip under his hand melt into a ball in an instant. And he seemed to be pushed by a strong force, bounced out directly from under the table, and fell straight to the ground. Before he could come to his senses, an even more magnificent scene took place in the house. Countless white sparks rose from him, and if a fireworks set off during a festival exploded in an instant, illuminating the sky and the earth white.

Countless amounts of data are flowing into the brain:

"The wealth of the world is just born of the Tao.

The husband and wealth cannot be gathered and can be born, and the life has its own avenue, but it can be said in vain?

And those who level the world, and the number of powerful husbands, should not be the king's business. I don't know that the people have a place to support their lives, and if they can't give them what they want, they fight for ,......"

Vaguely, he remembered that this was the eight-strand essay made by Yan Yuhui in the thirty-sixth year of Kangxi's examination, and with this article, he won the second place in this year's examination, which is the list in the proverb. Since then, he has embarked on a career and become the Shaoqing of Taifu Temple, which is considered a senior ministerial-level official of the central government.

……

"To, yes, to. Fresh and is little. Zisi quoted the words of Confucius and said: Those who are practical in the world, but if they have done too much, they will miss the middle, and if they are not enough, they will not be able to arrive, and they are not the way to perfection......"

This is Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the Wanli cabinet of the Ming Dynasty, explaining "The Mean" for the emperor.

……

More historical pictures are displayed in front of you one by one, those white-clothed victorious snow, those towering crowns, those winding waters, those poor and mighty, and those tried and failed shouts, all converged into a fierce river and poured into the brain.

……

It was another thunderclap that shook for hundreds of miles.

In the middle of the room, nothing but a pile of humanoid ashes remained.

A small civil servant disappeared.

***********************************

The eighteenth day of the first month of the fifteenth year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty, Zouping, Shandong.

In later generations, the dense reinforced concrete buildings were replaced by rows of blue-tiled houses of various sizes, and the wide streets were transformed into bluestone alleys.

It was at night, a little bit of light was lit up one after another, and the whole county looked hazy and quiet in the moonlight and light shadows.

A lamp is like a bean, illuminating the house darkly.

It's better to die.

Wrapped in dirty gauze on his head, Sun Dan had a terrible headache at this moment, since he crossed over to the Ming Dynasty, the shock and the injury on his head made him lie motionless in this moldy house for two whole days.

Others crossed over either emperors and generals, or they were gentlemen, but when they came over, they became a broken household, so poor that they were covered with lice.

Fortunately, after crossing over to the Ming Dynasty, he was still called Sun Dan, and only this could give him some comfort.

Although the house in front of him was dark, he could vaguely see the abject poverty of the owner's family. The room was damp, the wooden panels were rotten, and the gaps were two fingers wide for rats to pass through. Gusts of northwest wind howled in and whistled through the house. The torn black quilt on his body was not enough to maintain his body temperature, and in only a quarter of an hour, his body was numb from the cold.

Sun Dan also knew that if he continued like this, he would be frozen. But he still didn't want to move, and the huge blow made him boring.

In his previous life, he was a farmer's child, and he worked in the fields with his parents since he was sensible. Later, because of his excellent grades, he successfully graduated from university and was admitted to the civil service, which can be regarded as an iron rice bowl. It is said that he is not a person who has not endured hardships, no matter how difficult life is, he must go on.

However, this experience was so ridiculous that he couldn't bear it.

People always have a goal in life, for example, in the previous life, his life goal was to mix well in the system, and it was best to get an official and a half-job, change his life, and let his parents who had worked hard all their lives live a good life.

But when he got here, he didn't know what he should do or what he could do.

However, if I don't do anything, it's not my character, and people have to live after all! If parents know what they are going to do now, but they don't know what it will be like to feel distressed.

At the thought of never seeing his parents again, Sun Dan's heart ached, and two tears came out of the corners of his eyes. In order to provide for their own education, their parents had their hair boiled white. finally waited for myself to participate in the work, and before I had fulfilled my filial piety, I traveled to this damn era, how can I be embarrassed?
