One by one, the candidates were searched, from the darkness of the monsoon to the rising of the red sun.
Such searches were not without effect, and a kindred spirit in front of Zhu Pingan was searched for entrapment when he was searched. The way of entrapment is his quilt, inside the quilt is densely packed with small letters, and the quilt plain black flowers in perfect harmony, I do not know how many pieces of eight-legged essays were copied, all of them are betting on the question. However, it was still checked out by the petty officials who searched the quilt.
Being found out on the spot, that candidate was like a lightning strike, all of a sudden piled on the ground, trembling.
“Drag him out, send him to the Military Horse Division for questioning, shackle him for a month, and deal with him severely!”
The middle-aged exam supervisor waved his hand with a serious face, and then four soldiers came up and lifted the man piled on the ground, ignoring his cries of pain and pleas for forgiveness, and rudely escorted the man out.
After this entrapped man was sent off, the next person to come up was Zhu Pingan to be searched.
Naturally, Zhu Pingan did not have any problems and smoothly passed the inspection and entered the Tribute Academy.
However, the two big soldiers in charge of the search were a bit pained, recalling this scene some days later, they could not help but take a deep breath, their deep eyes looking at the Heavenly Dao:
I only remember that it was cold that day, and we were sweating.
The reality of that day was that they had become food artificial cutters. Zhu Pingan had carried big bags of so much food, dried fruit, jerky, cooked food, and so on and even a big handful of rolled out noodles. These two soldiers used special food searching knives to cut and cut and cut for a long time, their hands were sore, the activity was too much, and their bodies were sweating in such a cold day.
After Zhu Pingan passed the search, he entered the Tribute Courtyard and followed the examination cards to find his seat.
The capital’s tribute courtyard compared to the Yingtian tribute courtyard, the total area is relatively small, the capital’s tribute courtyard covered with rows and rows of simple houses, adobe structure, densely packed with a hundred or ten rows. Each row of one hundred, one is a house, according to the “Thousand Characters” “heaven and earth Xuanhuang” row down, the so-called “heavenly word number one” is from here. This hut is called the field house. Also called the examination number, and some are called the number of rooms, and the number of cells according to the room is out of the same idea.
Zhu Pingan in accordance with the examination card to find their own number house, Zhu Pingan this time very bad luck, is located in the location is everyone avoided the “stink number”. That is, the numbered room near the toilet.
Here the number of houses and countryside exams in the number of houses also have a difference, the size does not make a difference, the length of five feet, four feet wide, eight feet high, that is to say, high enough to let a person stand up and touch the head, wide enough to allow you to stretch out an arm to touch the wall across the street, the depth of the dimensions of the larger. This numbered house
The difference lies in the layout of the house, this house inside a northern kang, kang well. The kang was also used for sleeping, although it was not very spacious, but as long as the head was facing inwards, the legs could always be stretched out, but perhaps they had to be stretched out to the outside of the kang; this kang was also used as a seating place for answering the examination papers, and it felt a little more comfortable than the Yingtian house. On the kang was a long wooden board, which served as a desk and a dining table, and on the kang there was also a charcoal fire-pot and a few candles.
There was no door to the house, so Zhu Pingan walked straight in and packed up his things. After arranging them, he took out a pot, added water, sprinkled some spices, and added noodles. Pieces of meat, a few cabbage leaves.
Then, using the simple stand that was brought with him, he set up the pot and started to cook it up with a gurgle.
From the ugly time to go out to the sun half pole, Zhu Pingan is a drop of water did not enter it. And he is in a stinky number, take advantage of the fact that now just into the tribute courtyard, the toilet has not been used, hurry to cook something to eat, to save the stinky number of the name is true, there is no such environment.
Gudu gudu.
The soldier who was supervising the exam next to him simply collapsed, supervising the exam for so many years, the first time he saw this kind of candidate who was divided into the stinking number. Never seen this kind of fierce person before! Never before have I seen one who just entered the stinky number and couldn’t wait to cook something to eat!
The candidates who were assigned to the stinky number in the past, that one was not vomiting, pale and close to the verge of collapse! This kind of candidate who just entered the stinky number and couldn’t wait to cook something before the stool was even warmed up, for the soldiers supervising the exams, they were simply blinded by their dog’s eyes.
The main examiner, Xu Shi, accompanied by several fellow examiners, toured the examination room, which is also the practice, at the beginning of the examination room to deter the examination room, serious examination discipline, on the other hand, there is also the meaning of encouraging the mobilisation of the staff of the examination room.
When Xu step and others slipped and almost walked to the stinking number, they heard a sound of sucking and sucking.
When they heard this burst of sound, Xu Jie and the others changed colour in unison.
This is the stink number ah, how could there be this kind of sound? In the past, when the invigilator walked to this place, he could always hear the sound of the candidates complaining, how could there be this strange sound today.
To know that at this time the examination centre can not talk about what hygienic conditions, at the end of the alleyway of the number house, there is a simple small shed, which placed a bucket of manure for candidates to urinate and defecate. Three days time nearby candidates are here to facilitate, stench, flies, not to mention the examination, is the stench is also enough candidates to suffer.
And the stink is close to the location of this improvised toilet, which is next door to it.
Under curiosity, Xu Jie and others took two more steps forward.
Then, they saw a scene that overturned their views: a naive teenager who looked about fifteen or so, was holding a small iron pot in the stinky number, holding chopsticks and sucking and sucking and eating with great enthusiasm, the whole person ate very fragrantly and very devotedly, and his head ate out of the sweat.
On the contrary, in front of the stinking number to supervise the examination of the big soldiers, the whole face of a miserable almost collapse look, looks like the heart is a shadow.
Not it.
It is good that there is no mourning, how can you still eat so cheerfully!
For a while, the contrasting sense of picture, let Xu Hui remembered this in the stinky horn end of the iron pot eating very fragrant and very devoted to this teenager.
Being in the stinking number, but the face does not change colour, calm, sound and drink as before.
This kind of person is definitely not an ordinary person! Either he is stupid and naive, or he is an unearthly wonder! Interesting, very good, this person, I, Xu Jie, have remembered.
Zhu Pingan ate with devotion, and by the time he reacted, Xu Shi and the other examiners had already walked away.
Because he woke up at the ugly hour, it was about 2 am or so, I guess, there was a serious lack of sleep. Therefore, after Zhu Pingan finished eating, he simply scrubbed the pots and bowls and chopsticks, then put things aside and cleaned up the kang. He laid a fur cushion on the kang, lay down and then took a thick rabbit fur blanket and used it as a quilt to cover himself, and slept beautifully.
Outside the supervision of the examination of the soldiers looked at this scene, has been speechless, eat and sleep, this is in the stink of the number, or daytime it. Never seen this kind of candidate.
After a round of inspection, the original way back to the examiners such as Xu Jie passed by here, a moment to see the embrace was high sleep, snoring four up Zhu Pingan, snoring too loud.
Points in the stink number, eat and sleep, this candidate has been self-defeating.
A few examiners saw this and couldn’t help but shake their heads and laugh softly, their gazes towards Zhu Pingan, who was embracing the high sleeper, were all kind of mocking.
Erm, it seems that this examinee belongs to the former, count me out, Xu Shi shook his head slightly, a little disappointed
