In the last year of the school, in addition to eating, drinking, and having fun, the more serious things are nothing more than finding a place to continue your studies, or finding a job, etc. The big waist is the most comfortable in our dormitory, and the old man at home arranged a job for him in his hometown yamen, and waited to go back to work, so he only messed with Li Ruomei all day long. Gangmu and thin bamboo poles have become determined comrades-in-arms on the road to further study, and they only appear in the study room and cafeteria every day, and I can only see them when I get up early or go to bed late.

And Xiao Fang, who is on par with the big waist in terms of comfort, was guaranteed to continue her studies in a well-known school in the south because of her excellent grades, and this school is not far from my hometown, so she has a graduation essay left in her entire last year.

I wanted to review and follow her, but I was not a material for Jinshi academics at all, and I basically had no intention of studying when I sat down, but when I was pretending to study, I borrowed or bought the books that Ma Daoren had said, or bought them with the small living expenses, and read most of them.

In the process, I gained a new understanding of the world, and at the same time, I also had a question, because the ancestors lacked the ability to understand the world, and they could only use their own system to explain the world. Or do we rely too much on science to explain things and ignore some of the things that are already in the world?

Time flies, the days of the ivory tower will eventually come to an end, and life always runs after people. I was a fast progresser in writing an essay, and I had a graduation essay of more than 10,000 words before the winter break.

I have such a good relationship with Mr. Shen, so it is natural to ask him to be an instructor, so I took it to ask Mr. Shen to give guidance, and he also knew that for me, it would be okay to successfully graduate through the article.

During the winter vacation, I went home to celebrate the New Year with my mother. Originally, I was going to go out and find an internship in the second half of my final year to see if I could stay in a gold and stone institute or something, but if I couldn't do it, I went back to find a private business as a worker.

Who knows, not long after coming to the school after the winter vacation, Mr. Shen suddenly came to me, and after the meeting, I asked if I wanted to go to the grassland with him to conduct a gold and stone investigation.

And his conditions are very attractive, with him and his two apprentices, you can also eat and live for nothing, the most important thing is to be able to visit the scenery of the prairie, in addition to spending a little foot effort every day, a little sun, nothing else to eat, he also promised to help me find an internship unit as soon as I came back, and now there is a shortage of people to work in various gold and stone institutes, especially male students who go to the fields to work as gold and stone migrant workers.

I said in my heart that this was also a rare opportunity, I had never been to the prairie when I was so old, and I had only seen a large barren meadow, so I agreed.

He asked me again if I had studied the books that Ma Daoren had said last time, and I was so happy to hear them that I had spent almost all my time on them except for my graduation essay. But the problem is that I just read it once, and I have theoretical knowledge, but I still can't remember a lot of things to memorize, some formulas, some special names, which look very useful, but it's really not easy to remember.

After listening to this, he smiled and nodded, and made an appointment with me to set off, just at the beginning of March, and told me that there was no need for anything other than to bring more clothes, and the school would take care of the rest.

When I got back to my dorm, I packed my clothes and luggage. The book that Ma Daoren gave me had already taken home and hidden during the winter vacation, so now I only took out a small box containing a jade pendant. I hesitated for a moment, but decided to take it with me.

I ran out to find a place to write a letter to my home, and reported a letter, thinking that when my mother heard that I was going to the grassland with my teacher, she would definitely ask me to pay more attention to safety. That's what she usually says anyway, so I'm not surprised. In her eyes, Jinshi seems to be a high-risk occupation, but then again, mothers see that most of their children are high-risk occupations.

Just the mule and the thin bamboo pole really passed the written test of the school together, and now they are going to prepare for the re-examination, the big waist is still like that, usually I can't see people during the day, I can only wait until the evening to come back to tell them about it, and ask them to come back early tomorrow night, and go to the stall outside to rub together, this farewell will not be seen for a long time.

The next night, when everyone had arrived, we walked to a food stall that we usually frequented the most, ordered a few hard dishes on the menu, and chatted about the recent situation. Since I left the internship site, I really haven't gotten together to drink like this.

In the remaining days of waiting, I wandered around the school for a few days with nothing to do, and when I thought that I was about to leave the city again, I always wanted to see more things in the city, and I didn't know how to go to the grassland, and it was inconvenient to suddenly want to buy something.

It was time to set off soon, and that morning, I took my luggage and met with Mr. Shen at the gate of the school, and they and Li Ruomei came to see us off in the dormitory.

After saying goodbye to them, I sat in the car sent by the school to take us to the post station, and got to know each other with the two senior brothers under Teacher Shen's door who were already sitting in the car, one surnamed Sun and the other surnamed Li, Teacher Shen joked: "It's a pity that there are no people surnamed Zhao and Qian among my students, otherwise they would have made up the four heavenly kings of Zhao Qiansun and Li, but you are also close relatives, Zhao Qiansun Li Zhou, Wu Zheng Wang, are also next to each other." We all laughed, and we called each other Brother Sun, Brother Li, and Brother Zhou after that, but we didn't see each other.

On the car, Mr. Shen said that this trip was very long, and he had to take a long, long carriage to City C in N Province, and then slowly reverse to reach the destination. I asked him what was the purpose of this investigation, and Brother Li preemptively said: "Go to the grassland of N Province, of course, to find things from the northern nomads, I will test you, guess which one?" ”

I said in my heart that I am a school scumbag, what can I know? But when I thought about it, if I went to N Province, I must be looking for Mongols, right, aren't people like Kublai Khan the like Mongols? Kublai Khan was the uncle of the Yuan Dynasty, so I replied, "It must be from the Yuan Dynasty." ”

They laughed at the same time, and I saw that even the driver was laughing, and I knew that the answer was not good. Teacher Shen said to Brother Li: "Forget it, is it embarrassing for you to take the senior brother exam for your junior brother?" ”

I asked Mr. Shen what he was looking for. Teacher Shen smiled and said, "What's the hurry, I'll know when I arrive." ”

It was really uncomfortable to sit in the carriage, but luckily the four of us got together a table of cards, and although the conditions on the road were difficult, it was also a pastime. I also gradually discovered that Brother Li is the kind of person who can speak well and speak like a river, while Brother Sun is obviously much more honest, but he is somewhat similar to a gang mule, but his body is much thinner than that.

When we were tired of playing cards, we rested for a while, looking outside in a daze, and the coachman sang music that I didn't know the name of, and there was a sense of vicissitudes of displacement, which was a bit appropriate for the occasion.

In the car, our food is the most classic dry food with water, although it smells very good at first glance, but I am tired of eating so many meals in a row. Until noon on the first day, we were about to eat constipation, and we finally arrived in City C.

As soon as I got out of the car, I really experienced the spring breeze in February like scissors, and the wind in N Province made my face hurt. Teacher Shen took us to a home-cooked restaurant next to the post station for lunch, and then asked the two brothers to take all the luggage and go first in the arranged car.

I asked him, "Why don't we go with them?" ”

Teacher Shen said, "Don't worry, we still have to go get something, you just follow me." We've got to get there before them. ”

So I followed him, took a carriage to a place, got out of the car and looked, well, it was actually a rescue team base. I thought to myself, that's fine, if we get lost in the wilderness, or get lost, come and say hello early, and someone will come to our rescue. Thinking of this, I was a little worried at the same time, it seems that this trip is really dangerous?

Mr. Shen knocked on the door, said hello to the inside, walked in with me, and went straight to the second floor into an office, where the man sitting in it jumped up from the chair happily when he saw Mr. Shen, and rushed up to give Mr. Shen a warm hug.

Between talking and laughing, I knew that this person was Mr. Shen's old acquaintance, surnamed Wang, and the relationship between the two was very good and had always been very good, but I hated that I couldn't develop in the same city at the beginning. Every time Mr. Shen comes here, he must come to visit him. So inevitably, I was dragged by Master Wang to eat and drink together in the evening.

Listening to the two middle-aged men brag, sometimes it's also quite interesting, Mr. Shen and Master Wang are both temperamental, and their personalities are also very similar, they are both the kind of old and unserious naughty boys, borrowing each other's strength to blow themselves while hurting each other, you come and go, it's very interesting.

And I listened on the side, eating vegetables all the time in my mouth, because Master Wang invited guests and ordered all kinds of dishes made of grassland beef and mutton, and it was a terrible thing not to finish eating for him. When the toss was over, Master Wang sent us to an inn and said that he would pick us up in the morning, and then reluctantly said goodbye and went back.

I lay on the bed in the inn with a well-fed stomach, and this moment was too comfortable compared to the dust and dust of the previous days.

The next day, Mr. Shen woke me up at eight o'clock, and after we washed up, we went to the rescue team in Master Wang's car. In his office, I ate some local specialties for breakfast, including baked seeds, fried rice, yurts, and hot milk tea.

After that, Master Wang asked us if we should leave for the meeting and location now, and Mr. Shen nodded yes.

So I followed the two of them to the top of the stairs, but instead of going downstairs to drive, we went up two floors. After opening a door, I found that we were on the roof, and I was wondering what I was going to take, and when I looked up, I couldn't help but be surprised when I saw what appeared in front of me, I damn it, isn't it, are we going to take a large Kong Ming lantern over?
