Chapter 104: Don't Read the Book of Death
The fourth volume is the examination of reading.
Yang Can picked up the book, and instinctively felt that the book was in danger with his Tai Chi sensitive listening.
Since this is a test question, even if you know that it is inappropriate, you can only read it head-on.
The book exudes an incomprehensible atmosphere, and Yang Can read it unconsciously.
Faintly, Yang Can walked into a thatched hut, the house was leaking on all sides, and the furnishings inside were extremely simple.
Yang Can knew that this was his house, and he had lived in this house for more than ten years.
In the past ten years, the only thing he has done is to study, bent on gaining fame.
In winter, the cold wind is biting, no matter how you shield it, you can't stop it, Yang Can is so cold that he shiveres.
In summer, it was damp and wet, there were mosquitoes everywhere, and Yang Can had red bumps of all sizes.
No matter what, it can't stop Yang Can's enthusiasm for reading, in addition to eating and sleeping, he is full of books.
Yang Can couldn't get used to everything around him, these people only knew how to farm and grow vegetables every day, and they were covered in the smell of dung.
Including his parents, Yang Can is reluctant to talk to them, he has never read a book in his life, he doesn't even know a big word, he is honest, and he has nothing to talk about with them.
Yang Can envies those noble sons the most, they don't have to do anything, they can be clothed and fed, and the scenery is infinite.
One day, I will trample you all under my feet, Yang Can fantasized that he would change his fate by reading.
From dawn to dusk.
Everyone could hear the sound of reading aloud from Yang Can's room, and the sound was full of confidence.
These simple countrymen have since decided that Yang Can will be in the future. There will definitely be a success.
One day, the courtyard of Yang Can's house was crowded with people, all of whom were loud voices.
"Brother Can is so smart, it must be okay to get a show. Maybe in the future, he will become a big official. ”
"If Brother Can wins fame in the future, don't forget our poor neighborhood. ”
"Come, everyone has money to contribute, and dry food to produce dry food, and support Brother Can to take the Xiucai exam. ”
......
Piles of scattered coins were constantly placed on the table, and Yang Can was holding a pen and paper, casually remembering.
"Don't worry. When I gain fame in the future, I must return it to you a hundredfold and a thousandfold. ”
Due to years of malnutrition, Yang Can's body is extremely weak, but his voice is very loud, and he is full of perseverance and confidence.
No one doubts this, and the villagers have known since childhood that Yang Can will definitely gain fame. All he owes is an opportunity.
Yang Can was slightly unhappy. Putting this money in the baggage, for him, it is simply a shame to spend such money.
In addition to money, there is also dry food, Yang Can endured the shame in his heart. Put these wotou vegetable cakes in the baggage.
Yang Can made up his mind that these would only be eaten on the road, and when he arrived in the city, even if he was hungry, he would never eat these things. It's a shame.
In the farewell of a group of people.
Yang's father drove the only ox cart in the village and took Yang Can to take the exam.
Along the way, the weather was extremely hot, and Yang Can pulled the curtain tightly, lest he be seen, he really couldn't afford to lose this person.
Seeing the edge of the city, Yang Can insisted on jumping out of the car and letting Yang's father go back.
If he is seen to be riding an ox cart to catch the exam, then his face is really nowhere to stay.
The county seat is huge.
Yang Can couldn't find the exam location, so he wandered around the city, and when he saw other people's bright clothes, he really couldn't muster up the courage to ask for directions.
Fortunately, turning east and west, Yang Can still found the examination room, he found a corner, and silently squatted down to read.
When entering the examination room, Yang Can looked like a thief, with a dodgy eye, for fear of being noticed.
Seeing the strange eyes of others, Yang Can felt a kind of shame, the stronger the sense of shame, the more he secretly swore in his heart that one day, when I won the exam, I must be more beautiful than all of you.
Yang Can used ordinary pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and that's all, he still bought it with great difficulty.
In anticipation, the dossier was sent.
Yang Can's body trembled with excitement, and he had been working hard for more than ten years, just for this day.
From now on, my fate will be completely reversed, from a poor boy who everyone looks down on, to an official master.
The first question, asking about the life of Sage Kong, is so simple that I can recite it often and I can memorize it backwards.
Initial excitement.
Slowly turning into a cold sweat, Yang Can was horrified to find that there were many questions in it, which he had never seen at all.
Yang Can couldn't help but panic, and hurriedly flipped down, the more he looked, the more frightened he felt.
The scientific expedition is not as simple as Yang Can thought, and it contains a lot of things that he never knew at all.
"No, it shouldn't be like this?"
Yang Can only felt a cold air, cold from the top of his head to the soles of his feet, and his body trembled involuntarily.
With a buzz, Yang Can's mind became blank, not to mention those unfamiliar test questions, even the test questions he was familiar with, he had completely forgotten how to answer them.
Sweat on the head.
kept flowing down, wiping it, Yang Can was completely at a loss and collapsed on the chair.
The mind was groggy.
Yang Can didn't remember how he survived the exam, but he only knew that there were large blanks in his test papers.
"Let's go, let's go, the exams are all over, and you're still grinding here?"
The examination room administrator walked over and snorted coldly.
For people like Yang Can, he has seen a lot, one by one the frogs at the bottom of the well, and he thought that he had some earth-shattering skills, but in fact, he was a poor boy who had never seen the world.
The more Yang Can looked at this person, the more he felt annoying, but he had no choice, if he dared to resist, he might be beaten and disqualified from the exam.
Even if he didn't answer the test questions well, Yang Can still had a trace of extravagant hope in his heart, what if he didn't answer well?
Yang Can doesn't remember, how he left the examination room in a groggy state, he doesn't remember how he returned home, he doesn't say or laugh, like a walking corpse.
The room was crowded with people, and these people all had simple smiles on their faces, and they simply thought that Yang Can would probably have to go to high school this time.
"Brother Chan is back. ”
A group of people were very excited, and they were looking forward to seeing Yang Can's high-spirited appearance.
Yang Can grinned and smiled at everyone rarely, he was afraid that others would see the reality that he did not get satisfactory in the exam.
These people made a fuss in Yang Can's house for a long time, and then they dispersed, and they all wanted to share Yang Can's joy.
The only fly in the ointment is that Yang Can has been refusing to come out, he is in the hut, and he uses a wooden stick against the door.
Yang Can stared blankly at the room, he seemed to think a lot, but he didn't seem to think about anything.
This room has given him too much suffering, and it has also given him too much hope.
Yang Can has always thought that as long as he studies hard, he will definitely be able to get ahead, which is a matter of course.
As for those scholars outside, they didn't work so hard, so naturally they shouldn't be more knowledgeable than him.
Unconsciously, Yang Can began to hate those who made the questions, these people obviously didn't know how to learn, why did it be their turn to make the questions?
The world is not fair!
Yang Can complained, his heart was full of resentment, he hated the injustice of this world, why should he be like this, a person who has a university question, has no future.
"When it comes to memorizing these books, no one can beat me. ”
Yang Can looked at the stacks of books in the room and muttered.
Dinner was naturally not eaten.
Yang Can was so troubled in his heart, how could he still have the heart to eat, he just wanted to hide, hide in a place where no one had ever known him.
A layer of sheets.
Wrapped Yang Can tightly, he was from head to toe, and he was not exposed at all.
Yang Can just wants to sleep, sleep with him for a long time, it's best never to wake up.
The days went by day by day.
In Yang Can's hut, there was no longer the sound of reading loudly, and he was angry when he saw these books now.
Because he ate very little and was depressed, Yang Can's body was haggard day by day, his eyes became surprisingly big, and his body was skinny, for fear that a gust of wind would blow him crookedly.
The day has come to see the list.
Yang Can really didn't want to get up, but it was still early in the morning, and he was driven up by Yang's father.
There were still a room full of people, saying words of blessing, Father Yang lost the pride of the day, and his expression seemed much more restrained.
When he arrived at the county seat, Yang Can sent Yang's father back, his expression was very resolute, and his eyes flashed with a terrifying light.
A big list.
Sticking to an extremely eye-catching place, Yang Can squeezed through with difficulty.
Look at the past row by row, look at the past by column.
Every name has been looked at by Yang Can countless times, and whenever he sees Yang or Can's name, he will be excited for a long time.
There are no miracles.
Yang Can didn't pass the exam, he only felt like five thunderbolts, and he really wanted to cry without tears in his eyes.
When everyone dispersed, Yang Canzai checked it carefully, and it was indeed not, he was completely dead.
More than ten years of uninterrupted efforts, just to get rid of the fate of poverty, who knew that in the end, it would end so dismally.
Yang Can returned home with a blank gaze.
"Did you win?"
Countless people asked in excited trembling voices.
"Hit! Haha, hit!"
Yang Can laughed and walked out.
The faces of a group of people were suddenly full of smiles, and they all said that they knew that Yang Can would definitely be able to get ahead.
Yang Can returned to his room, the room that had given him so much hope, and there were books all around.
"I'm going to take these books with me. ”
Yang Can found a fire fold and lit a pile of books, and it didn't take long for this pile of books to ignite the whole house.
"Haha, haha!"
Yang Can laughed desperately, and his laughter was poignant and terrifying.
Just when the fire was about to burn to Yang Can, he suddenly woke up. (To be continued.) )
