Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Contest Begins

Before getting off the carriage, Lin Yue put on a black mask, and seeing this, Su Wen couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Yue, who are you?" ”

Lin Yue replied calmly: "Low-key, low-key, I don't want to be in the limelight and become the next you, then I'll be annoyed to death." ”

Su Wen smiled helplessly, "You're really prepared." ”

Lin Yue laughed and got out of the carriage.

After they got out of the carriage, they saw that Renshantang was already impassable, and if it weren't for the yamen's servants to maintain order, I am afraid that it would have been a mess long ago.

It can also be seen that the shopkeeper Liu is very powerful, and even the servants of the yamen are helping him do things, which shows his status in the town.

After Lin Yue and his party revealed their identities as doctors, they were led to the door by the guys of Renshan Hall, and there were more than 100 people standing at the door, all of them doctors, and most of them were older people, and young people like Lin Yue who were less than twenty years old only accounted for a minority.

Most of them are middle-aged and above, and their understanding and knowledge of medicinal herbs are also deep-rooted and proficient, and they don't even know how many patients they have treated, and they have rich experience.

It was much more nervous than their usual exams, and the thought of competing with these doctors made her nervous and eager to try.

Under the leadership of the guys, she and Su Wen went to register together, and after everyone had registered, they were led to a huge square, which is generally used for performances, and is now borrowed by Shopkeeper Liu as a venue for the competition.

There are tables under the square, similar to the imperial examination, and Shopkeeper Liu is standing on the square.

This medical competition was also a rare event in Qingshui Town, and it also dispelled the despair and dull atmosphere brought by the previous plague.

Many people gathered around to discuss this matter, and one said, "Who do you think will win the first place?" ”

"Then you don't need to ask, of course it's Dr. Su Wen, he has solved so many plagues that doctors can't solve, he will definitely be the first."

"No, no, no, this is not certain, Dr. Su Wen is too young after all, many doctors here are more qualified than him, he has solved the plague problem, but this does not mean that he knows all the knowledge of herbs deep enough, according to me, I can't say who the first place is."

Under the passionate discussion of everyone, the shopkeeper Liu stood on the high platform and shouted: "Fellow villagers, today, I held this medical competition in Renshan Hall, which is also to promote the improvement of each other's medical skills, and also invite all villagers and elders to witness each other, I won't say more nonsense, and the doctors will sit on their tables according to their own number plates, and the conference will begin." ”

Lin Yue glanced at Su Wen and said, "Come on." ”

Su Wen replied, "You too." ”

After the two separated, they each found their own places and sat down, Lin Yue took a deep breath, only to feel that this posture was similar to the ancient imperial examination.

She looked at the people around her again, and saw that they were all very solemn, and it was really familiar.

Doctors who have never participated in the imperial examination may be very nervous in the face of such a battle, which makes it difficult to perform at a normal level, but Su Wen and Lin Yue have both participated in this kind of similar exam, and they are not very nervous.

On the contrary, many old doctors are a little restless, far less calm than young people, which can be regarded as a kind of fairness.

After seeing that everyone was seated, Shopkeeper Liu said loudly: "This first comparison is what the herbs have learned, and someone will show you the herbs later, you only need to write down the herbs you know, write down their habits, planting, picking, uses, etc., in an hour, who remembers more, remembers in detail, remembers correctly, who will rank higher." ”

"Alright, the conference is on, let's start writing."

As soon as the words fell, one by one the men opened the bags on the table, and placed them on the table according to the order that had been arranged, and then the doctors began to answer the questions themselves.

Lin Yue looked at the first herb, she recognized it at a glance, and then began to concentrate on answering the question.

Before that, she also deliberately took Lin Yang's book to look at it, but fortunately, those words are not much different from modern ones, otherwise she will be difficult to cope with this exam.

Most of the doctors who study medicine can read and write, and some wild doctors may have a lot of home remedies, which have been passed down from generation to generation, and they may not necessarily read and write.

If you can't write, just whisper to the guy, and the guy will record his results on the spot, this competition is open, fair and just in Lin Yue's opinion.

Time passed slowly, and the whole square was very quiet, and even the onlookers were talking in whispers, for fear of disturbing the doctor's answers.

Quite a few guys walked around to prevent someone from cheating, and once they found out, they immediately disqualified his grades and qualifications.

Compared with the ancient doctors who identified medicinal herbs from the shapes depicted in medical skills, Lin Yue knew medicinal herbs from pictures, and the time for identifying them was saved a lot, and the guys who gave her the medicine were surprised by her speed.

Soon, half an hour passed, and some doctors had already finished the exam, of course, they didn't write everything, but they knew everything they knew, and the rest couldn't be written, so they didn't waste time sitting there.

Lin Yue is still writing hard, except for the fact that she is not very comfortable writing with a brush, there is nothing to slow down her speed, she is almost the fastest person on the field and never stops writing.

This herb is much less than the herbs that Lin Yue saw in the book, unless she can't recognize some herbs that are not recorded in later generations, she can recognize almost everything she has learned.

At the same time, Lin Yue also recalled the scene of the modern exam.

Gradually, as time passed, many doctors frowned, and their speed slowed down, and they could only start writing after thinking for a long time.

A common man pointed at Lin Yue and said: "Did you see that thin little man in black clothes and wearing a mask, but I noticed him, he hasn't stopped thinking much, do you think his knowledge is really so rich?" ”

One of them didn't believe it: "That kid doesn't look very old at first glance, those old doctors have to think about it for a long time, but he has been writing, according to me, he must be writing nonsense, trying to attract our attention." ”

"Yes, yes, that kid I also noticed, his speed is very fast, faster than many people, a herb is almost written at a glance, unlike other doctors who have to recognize it for a long time, he must be pretentious."

"What you said makes sense, he must be weak-hearted, and he is afraid of being exposed and embarrassed, so he doesn't dare to show his true face, he really wants to be famous and crazy."
