The third day of the exam.

Just as the examiner announced the end of the exam and collected the test papers, the old woman next door struggled and said, "Give me another quarter of an hour, I'll cough cough...... I'll be able to answer it in a moment. ”

"No, you are such a scoundrel, be careful that I disqualify you from the examination." The examiner said selflessly.

When Xu Zhizhi walked out of the examination room, he saw the old woman with a pale face, and pointed at the examiner very angrily and shouted:

"Ahem...... Do you know me...... Ahem......"

Then the old and weak body trembled, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and the piercing red splashed onto the test paper in front of her, smearing and penetrating.

The old woman saw that the test paper she had worked so hard to make was stained, and she must have missed the palace test.

She picked up her test paper with trembling hands, gasped sharply, and then didn't take a breath, rolled her eyes, and fell backwards.

There was no movement.

Xu Zhizhi: ???

Her eyes widened in disbelief, what was going on.

His eyes were fixed on the old woman, and he saw that her body was motionless, and her chest did not seem to rise or fall.

Xu Zhizhi realized that something was wrong, and immediately walked in front of the old woman, squatted down to check her pulse, and explained to the stunned examiner: "My lord, the little girl roughly understands some medical science. ”

"Oh, what's wrong with her?" The examiner came back to his senses and asked calmly.

"Wait a minute."

Xu Zhizhi probed the pulse, checked the pupils in turn, listened to the heartbeat with his ears, and finally shook his head and sighed: "There is no snort and heartbeat, the pupils are dilated, and the pulse stops beating, as if dead?" Specifically, we have to wait for an autopsy. ”

The examiner nodded in surprise, "I know, you can go back." ”

Xu Zhizhi: "......"

Dead, huh?

Or in the exam room?

Was he alive a minute ago?

Can the examiner here not be so calm! It made her seem like she was making a big fuss.

However, the old woman was angry when she saw that her test paper was stained with blood, and she soared through the catastrophe, Xu Zhizhi felt that although it was bloody, it was very real and sad.

The imperial examination attaches great importance to the neatness of the paper, even if it is a person like Xu Zhizhi, he does not dare to answer the questions on the test paper easily, but writes the answers to all the test questions on the side of the straw paper, and only after confirming that it is correct, does he dare to copy the test paper.

But this old man is so old, and he still can't look at it, which is also embarrassing.

Xu Zhizhi twitched the corners of his mouth and walked out.

At this time, the gate of the Gongyuan was already full of candidates and many waiting family members.

She also saw many women with poor mental quality, as soon as they left the tribute courtyard, they began to cry, regardless of age, some were twenty or thirty years old, and some were forty or fifty years old.

The others who were a little stronger were also earth-colored, with blue eyes and embarrassed bodies.

After all, he was locked up in the examination room for nine days like a small dark room, eating very poorly, not sleeping well, and shivering from the cold.

I'm glad I made it out alive.

As soon as Xu Zhiyi saw these candidates, he inadvertently met Yan Ronglan's eyes.

Both of them were stunned for a moment, nodded their heads, and looked away at the same time.

"Xu Zhizhi!"

At this moment, a clear and smiling voice sounded behind her.

Xu Zhizhi turned around and saw Yu Tang holding his bag, his eyes beckoning to him.

Behind him, Liu Rongzhao, Liuxiang, and Fan Xia who drove the carriage were also followed.

Xu Zhizhi pinched his fingers, this is to move.
