Chapter Fifty-Seven: Spending Time Like Years

Mo Lingfeng and his neat aunts ate a basket of tangerine, a pot of sugar water, a plate of moon cakes, and a plate of osmanthus cakes, and returned to Changsuiju with a puffed stomach, not knowing how to spend the remaining eight days of the exam.

The next day, she went to Xiongshi Gorge to see the red stone, on the cliff, found a cracked red stone, like a turtle's back, Yin Nan with a straight face, carried all the way back to the house, placed in the yellow sand tank, and three golden carp as companions.

On the third day, she took the fishing rod to Yuxi, caught in a group of fishermen fishing, and suddenly a big white goose attacked violently, "quack" screamed, spread its wings and beaked people, and shot straight at the crowd like arrows.

The fishermen suddenly became chaotic, "wow, wow" screamed, and avoided one after another, Mo Lingfeng only caught a thumb-length grass carp, and saw that the lone seedling let the goose eat, so he was angry, grabbed the goose's neck, fell out for ten steps, and rushed forward, and the big white goose fell and fell.

That night, Mofu had a big goose meal.

On the fourth day, Mo Lingfeng went to the temple in Kuanzhou City to worship the Buddha, and the people who came to ask the Buddha to bless the students were as many as the carp crossing the river, flocking to the Buddha in all directions, Mo Lingfeng's feet did not touch the ground, and he went with the flow, when he went out of the temple, the horns were scattered, and one head was covered with two big, and he went home tired.

On the fifth day, Mo Qianlan took his sister to Yuhua Street for a banquet, Mo Lingfeng shook his spirits, went to see Ma Long, listened to Xi Qin, and ate two bowls of dry rice, while Mo Qianlan and Wang Yunsheng talked, every word had to be considered, exhausted, and drank a few more cups, and had a headache at night.

The aunts are getting stronger and stronger, lining him like a white chicken, he doesn't want to ask the aunts to say goodbye, so he can only coil in the middle hall.

Before he finished drinking a bowl of sobering soup, his stomach turned over and over, and he hurriedly got up and rushed into the official room, grabbed the servant's arm, and bent over to gag.

He didn't eat anything, only vomited a little water, but he was drenched in cold sweat, soaked his underwear, and his temples jumped with pain.

Reluctantly changed his clothes, and when he returned to the house, he curled up on the couch with Mo Lingfeng in his arms, in a trance, and called Ah Yan.

Ah Yan accompanied him for half a night, and in the middle of the night, when Mo Qianlan was asleep, he returned to Changsuiju in despair.

On the sixth day, the Cheng family set up a chrysanthemum banquet and invited Mo Lingfeng to go, and Shi Qing was also among them, saw Mo Lingfeng, and repeatedly thanked her for giving pearls.

Another girl joked about Mo Lingfeng and Cheng San, Mo Lingfeng responded with a cold face, and finally a few ladies surrounded her and inquired about Mo Qianlan's continuation.

Mo Lingfeng replied seriously: "My brother likes white and fat. ”

The fat ladies scattered in an instant.

On the seventh day, Mofu Kitchen bought a basket of fresh crabs, put the basket with crabs in the tank, and prepared to cook them on the second day.

On the eighth day, August 15, the Mo family brothers and sisters and Zhao Shiheng climbed the high platform to admire the moon, eat moon cakes, drink new wine, open crabs, look at the bright moon, and it is difficult to describe autumn thoughts.

Zhao Shiheng got drunk, cried, and dreamed.

On the ninth day, it still did not rain.

If there is no rain in the test, it is a beautiful work, otherwise the surface of the paper will be damaged, and the hard work of the students will be ruined.

The unitary time is approaching, and the middle school students in the house stretch out their heads and feet, each with their own attitudes.

The boy is dull, nine days are like a dream, I don't know what I have written, the mean, full of sorrow, hesitation, I don't know what I can answer the examiner's meaning, I want to re-answer the whole paper, but I am shocked to find that the nine days have passed.

Only those who are wise and ingenious, write down, have confidence, sit peacefully, and just wait for the bell to ring.

Wu Jin sat in his own room, the exam papers were placed on the exam table neatly, and the pen, ink, and inkstone had been put into the exam basket, so as not to be in a hurry when collecting the exam papers and staining the exam papers.

In the third session of the ninth day, he has already answered all the questions and is just waiting for the paper to be collected.

Suddenly, the west wind was noisy, there was a loud noise, an autumn goose chirped lonely in the sky, and the ground suddenly became cold and damp, and it rose by the wind, and got into the wide robe and big sleeves, making people feel cold all over the body.

There were sneezes one after another in the number room, and there was more sound of squirting to protect the exam papers.

The autumn rain fell with the trend, dripping, Xiao Xiao was sorrowful, and floated into the house at two or three o'clock, Wu Jin immediately covered the roll with his sleeves, so as not to let the rain stain the roll.

The soldiers who invigilated the examination inspected back and forth with umbrellas, and the officials outside the curtain fulfilled their duties, took turns to inspect, and stood on the Mingyuan Tower from time to time to look down, and nothing changed.

Some people wept under the sound of the rain, and some people came out of the official room, seeing the rain, and they didn't bring an umbrella, so they could only raise their hands above their heads, cover their heads with their sleeves, and hurriedly ran through the house, splashing countless splashes.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the number house began to leak, and just when everyone was trying their best to protect their exam papers, the foreign promotion officer rang the bell on the Mingyuan Tower.

The bell broke through the sky and resounded through the city of Kuanzhou.

The foreign promotion officer took a long breath and shouted: "It's time to retract, retract!" ”

The outer rewinder stood in front of each row of number houses, and the supervisors, surveillance, and inspections all moved, holding umbrellas and walking back and forth everywhere to prevent the candidates from causing trouble at this critical juncture.

The eyes of the soldiers on patrol became more and more solemn, and they wanted to see the bones of people, and once a candidate lost his temper, he would be suppressed by them immediately.

Someone held up an umbrella, lit a lantern, and shone it in front of the outer reeler, who began to reel from beginning to end.

When Wu Jin watched his exam papers being taken away, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

It's over.

The gate of the Gongyuan was opened, and the candidates packed up the examination baskets and walked out with mud and water.

As the students came out, the crowded crowd immediately stirred, shouting continuously, and after a quarter of an hour, Wu Jin walked from the gate of the Gongyuan to the street.

Wu Yi waited for him outside with an umbrella, searched for a long time with a pair of eyes, ran over when he saw him, collected his umbrella, stood under Wu Jin's umbrella, and carried the test basket for him: "Brother! ”

He stuffed a sugar cake into Wu Jin's hand: "Mother said to let you pad first." ”

Wu Jin took the sugar cake, smelled the sweet aroma, took a bite, and after taking a bite, he was shocked to realize that his hungry chest was attached to his back, and the remaining half of the cake was swallowed into his stomach in only three or two bites.

Still hungry, hungry from the fire, and his body hurts, curled up in the three-foot square house, all the bones in his body are bent, his fingers are curled up like chicken feet, and his mind is especially tired, as if all the things in his brain that were originally full of things have dried up and sunken, and only a piece of gray remains.

Only then did he realize that he had been tightening a string, so tight and too hard that he ignored the hunger and pain in his body.

Now that the string was slowly loosening, the feelings around him were coming back.

He didn't speakβ€”he didn't have the strength to speak, so he walked home with Wu Yi, it got dark very quickly, and the closer he got to Shishi Street, the fewer people took the exam, no students, no carriages and sedan chairs, only all kinds of hawkers, carrying burdens to hide from the rain under the eaves.

Wu Yi's voice was gradually heard clearly: "Brother, I heard that the well in the Gongyuan has not been used for three years, and it is not clean. ”

"Hmm."

"Brother, I also heard that there was a fire in the Gongyuan in one state, which burned more than 90 people, and the government wants to build a grave for students."

"Hmm."

"It's good that I don't have to take the test."

"Hmm."
