At the same time, Shen Chenyu also treated the wound and came out. As soon as he came out, he saw a group of guards with knives, and immediately frowned and walked outside.

Before Shen Chenyu could ask about the situation, Master Liu's friend stood up from the crowd, and then looked at Shen Chenyu with a happy face and said, "That's great, Mr. Shen family, I finally found you."

Shen Chenyu When he saw the other party, he quickly glanced at the sedan chair not far away, and had a very unreal idea in his heart. As a result, before Shen Chenyu could continue to think about it, Mr. Na told him the purpose of their visit this time.

"Mr. Shen's family, the flowers you sent earlier were very good. Among them was a pot of jade beauty, which was deeply loved by the nobleman. It's just a pity that the jade beauty had a little problem before, and the nobleman wanted flowers very much. I don't know if I came here to find another pot myself..."

Before the husband finished speaking, Shen Chenyu understood the reason for their coming. The so-called jade beauty that Mr. said is a mutated white double-petaled peony, the most charming one among the mutated flowers.

Although Shen Chenyu had heard for a long time that this nobleman was a flower-loving character, she never expected that the other party would come here for a flower in this big Chinese New Year.

In fact, what Shen Chenyu didn't know was that their trip wasn't all for flowers, the main purpose was to find someone. Not long ago, they got the news that the woman was probably in Qingcheng County. It's just that the woman hadn't been found yet, and the clues that were originally clear were suddenly cut off.

They thought that they had already arrived in Qingcheng County anyway, and something happened to the pot of jade beauty of the master, so they might as well spend some time looking for the flower farmer. Maybe the flower farmer still has Yumei in his hands, and it will make their master feel better at that time.

When Shen Chenyu heard that it was for the flowers, she thought to herself that it was a good thing he had the foresight at the beginning, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to bring out the jade beauty today. When those people came to move flowers, Shen Chenyu specially left a few pots of flowers for herself, and there happened to be a Yumeiren among them.

Most of the potted flowers are in Shen Chenyu's study, and there are two pots in Shen Liu's room. Shen Chenyu glanced at the gentleman, then made a gesture of invitation, intending to take the gentleman over to fetch the flowers.

As a result, before the two of them had time to walk in, the curtain of the soft sedan that had not moved was suddenly lifted, and then a slightly thin figure got off the sedan chair.

The fat man was startled when he saw this, he hurriedly dodged the umbrella in the hand of the guard at the side, and held up the umbrella for him tremblingly. "Oh, master, why did you come down? It's still snowing outside?"

"It's okay, I want to come and see for myself."

The man said so, and walked towards Shen Chenyu. Although that person looked very plain in his attire, the aura of nobility in that attire was extremely oppressive.

Shen Chenyu can guess the identity of the other party just by looking at it. That nobility is innate, even the aristocratic family can't support it.

Shen Chenyu's psychological quality is not bad. Compared with his calm appearance on the surface, the surrounding villagers have long been scared out of breath.

The man walked slowly in front of Shen Chenyu, and when he saw Shen Chenyu's appearance clearly, he glanced at Shen Chenyu's eyebrows. Probably because Shen Chenyu was born so well that the man mistook him for a brother for a moment.

Just as the man and Shen Chenyu lifted their feet to walk into the yard, a jade pendant hanging on the man's waist suddenly fell off. The man's footsteps paused for a moment. Seeing this, the fat man holding an umbrella behind him immediately handed the umbrella to a guard at the side, and bent down to pick up the jade pendant.

Then the eyes of the fat man who stood up accidentally met the eyes of the child in Mu Linting's arms, and he fell to the ground as if he had seen a ghost.

This turn of events startled everyone, the husband thought it was because of the heavy snow that the ground was slippery, and he wanted to reach out to help the fat man on the ground, but the fat man pushed him away in a crazy way.

The fat man stumbled and climbed up in front of Mu Linting. Seeing this, Mu Linting subconsciously stepped back with his arms around the crazy boy, and heard the fat man's slightly sharp voice.

"This... This is too similar, too similar, master, master, come and take a look."

The man standing quietly at the side heard the words, and a pair of eyes with no emotions flashed an indescribable disgust. . But no matter how disgusted he was, he knew that his slave must have discovered something, otherwise he wouldn't have let him, the master, go there in person.

The man lifted his foot reservedly, and it took him a long time to take two steps forward. Before he could see the child's appearance clearly, the fat man tugged at the hem of his clothes with an excited expression on his face.

"Hurry up...I found it. This time I really found it. I didn't expect that woman not to lie, and she really left a seed for the master."

As soon as he heard the three words found, the man's alienated eyes froze. She couldn't help but tremble, and then saw a pair of eyes that looked like him. The man stared at him for a long time, then suddenly leaned over and stretched out his hand towards the child.

"Come here."

There was no emotion in the man's tone, and there was not much emotion on his face, but what he said was unquestionable.

The crazy boy was very at a loss, he subconsciously looked at Shen Chenyu who was opposite, and saw that the other party nodded indiscernibly.

Seeing this, the crazy boy moved his steps, looking vigilant like a wounded cub, as if he still didn't understand what was going on.

The fat man's name was Fuyou, and the reason why he recognized him at a glance was mainly because the boy and his master were almost carved out of the same mold when they were young.

The only difference is that his master grew up with a lot of kindness and pampering, and there was a hint of arrogance in his eyes when he looked at people since he was a child. The child in front of him has obviously suffered a lot. Apart from the vigilance and uneasiness in his eyes, the rest is only the bewilderment and apprehension of a child.

Before, Fuyou only cared about the other person's appearance, but after the crazy boy took a step forward, Fuyou immediately hugged him into his arms with red eyes.

The mad boy was so frightened that his body froze, and he subconsciously opened his mouth to bite the opponent. But because the other party didn't have a trace of hostility, coupled with the warmth of his chubby body, the mad boy tried his best to suppress the urge to attack.

The man took all the crazy boy's reactions into his eyes, then raised his eyes to scan around, and fixed his gaze on the lazy man's family. "Let's talk about the child after we put the matter aside." The

chief guard immediately took orders when he heard this, and arrested the surrounding villagers one by one, intending to briefly interrogate them all.

While waiting for the result of the interrogation, the man was invited into the study by Shen Chenyu. Because two charcoal basins were lit in the study room, the cold study room quickly became warmer.

Although Shen Chenyu's study is very simple, the potted flowers in the room are very well grown. Especially now that it's the season of heavy snow, they can still bloom in this situation, which shows that Shen Chenyu still has some skills in growing flowers.

The man chatted with Shen Chenyu a lot about growing flowers, but he never asked Shen Chenyu about the crazy kid. Shen Chenyu really doesn't have much experience in growing flowers, and she doesn't dare to pretend to be a master in this regard to deceive the other party. He even said that the seeds of these flowers were obtained by chance, and he actually has no experience in growing flowers at all.

The man was a little surprised when he heard the words, but he didn't ask about the flower seeds. Instead, he asked Fuyou to spend a lot of money to buy his flower seeds.

There are not many flower seeds in Shen Chenyu's hands, and there are only about twenty pieces scattered together. However, due to the tenacious vitality of the mutated flower seeds, even if there are only twenty or so flower seeds, it is enough to grow a large area of flowers.

After waiting for half a cup of tea, the chief guard brought the village head to the study and told him the result of his interrogation.

"Reporting to Master, the investigation has been clear. This child is indeed Li Niang's child. In order to confirm Li Niang's identity, my subordinates went to Li Niang's residence to search just now, and found this jade pendant under a tree."

The chief guard said so, and came to the man with a jade pendant in his hand. The man just glanced at the jade pendant lightly, and then handed over his own jade pendant to him. "At any rate, it's a master-servant relationship. Let's bury this with her."

When the head guard turned and left, the man turned his gaze to the child in Fuyou's arms. Fuyou noticed his master's gaze, and carefully touched the little face of the child in his arms.

Fuyou whispered: "The man has been found, and the flower is also there. Master, can we go? I think the little master's body is very weak, so I should take it back to raise it." The

man didn't say anything when he heard the words. , but looked down at the crazy boy, and it took a long time before he opened his mouth to say something. "Will you come with me?"

Hearing the man's words, the crazy boy poked out half of his small face from the fat uncle's arm. He stared at the man's face for a long time, and said as if he was probing something: "You are my father?" Before the

man could answer, Fuyou couldn't help laughing, and he held up the crazy boy's hand. The little face said: "You child, the reaction is really slow. Look at the faces of you father and son, a fool can see the relationship between you."

As for why Shen Chenyu and the people in Xiling Village didn't take a look at each other. out the difference between the two. The main reason is that in the past, the crazy boy was always dirty, and few people had seen his real appearance. Crazy kid looks clean, just passing by in the morning.

In addition, this man's imposing manner was too strong, the people in Xiling Village didn't dare to look at him carefully, even Shen Chenyu didn't dare to look at him more. So compared to Fuyou who stared at this face every day, it's not surprising that they didn't notice anything unusual.

Seeing the dumbfounded look of the crazy boy, Fuyou asked the guards to find a mirror, and then let the crazy boy take a picture of himself. The crazy boy has never looked in the mirror a few times, but when he saw this, he actually picked up the mirror and compared it to the man for a long time.

Then even if he didn't understand anything, he found the similarity between him and the man, and he couldn't tell what it was like for a while.

The crazy boy held the mirror for a long time, and then he mustered up the courage to ask: "Why didn't you come to me before?"

After the crazy boy asked this sentence, he suddenly felt an indescribable grievance in the place of his heart that had been empty. Although the child did not finish speaking, everyone present understood what he meant. It was nothing more than asking why the man didn't come earlier, so he wouldn't have to be bullied by so many people here.

Fuyou was a little worried when he glanced at the man, for fear that his master who had a bad temper would get angry. What surprised Fuyou was that instead of being angry, the master raised his chin and lowered his eyes and said in a good-tempered manner: "This matter has to be talked about a long time ago, why don't you tell me while you rest?"

After that, I didn't know what the man said, so the crazy boy followed the man to the town in the afternoon. Because the mad boy is sick and injured, they are expected to stay in the town for a while.

It was not until the rest of the night that Shen Chenyu learned of the man's identity through Mu Linting. In fact, when Shen Chenyu discovered that Fuyou was a eunuch, she had vaguely guessed the identity of the man.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the man's status is not simple. In addition, the status of a person who can make Liangzhou prefect go out of his way to curry favor can't help but be raised a little bit.

Although Shen Chenyu had already guessed his identity, Shen Chenyu couldn't help being surprised when she thought that he was the emperor's younger brother Qi Jinwang.

Now there are still three princes in this dynasty. Except for King Qi Jin, the remaining two princes are all bald princes. Not only do they not have any real power in their hands, they are even suppressed by the current emperor everywhere.

King Qi Jin and the emperor are brothers, and the two have had a very good relationship since childhood. When King Qi Jin was fighting for the throne for the emperor, he was infected with a slow xing poison and lost his fertility.

Because King Qi Jin has never had a child, the emperor has been very guilty of this younger brother over the years. He even did not hesitate to send his own children there, just to make King Qi Jin's life a little happier.

It's a pity that Qi Jinwang's temper has always been very weird. He not only dislikes government affairs, but also likes all kinds of flowers and plants. Often for a kind of fresh flowers and plants in a certain place, I have to go to have a look if I don't like to travel thousands of miles.

When Mu Linting was a general, he had the honor to meet this weird Qi Jin King. Although his eyes can't see anything now, he still clearly remembers the voices of King Qi Jin and Fuyou.

Mu Linting had an accident two years ago, and King Qi Jin still had no children at that time. If Mu Linting's guess is correct, if the mad boy is really his child, he will probably be the only heir under King Qi Jin's knee.

Although at the beginning, King Qi Jin came to Qingcheng County to find the child, but because the clues were suddenly cut off, the group of them had no hope of finding the child.

But he never expected that this pair of father and son, who had never met before, would have such a deep father-son bond. In this strange little village, they met each other because of a sudden drop of a jade pendant.

After listening to Mu Linting's words, Shen Chenyu couldn't help shaking her head slightly. While he was happy for the crazy boy, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

What Shen Chenyu is happy about is that Crazy Boy is the only heir of King Qi Jin, and the attitude of the other party will definitely treat him very well. As for what to worry about? Crazy Boy grew up in a small mountain village and never even had normal contact with people. He was worried that the other party would be bullied if he went to the rich and golden nest.

But no matter how worried Shen Chenyu is, it's better for the crazy boy to find his biological father than to be bullied in Xiling Village.

Shen Chenyu filled the charcoal basin with some charcoal, and left a gap in the window before climbing onto the bed tremblingly. He had been worried about the crazy boy before, but now that he was lying down, he couldn't help but glance at Mu Linting.

"You said you recognized King Qi Jin and Fuyou, would they also recognize you?"

Mu Linting's identity is very sensitive, if the prince knows that he is doing well, he will definitely try to torture Mu Lin again court.

The main reason why the other party asked Mu Linting to marry the original owner was because the original owner was arrogant and a waste, and Mu Linting would not only be rejected but also tortured if he married the original owner.

But now Mu Linting's life is pretty good, and his child Xiaoroubao is growing up day by day, if he finds out, he will definitely make trouble.

Hearing this, Mu Linting opened his eyes in the darkness. "No, they've only seen me once. I'm very different now, and they can't recognize me even if they want to."

It was precisely because he was worried about being recognized that he came to Xiling Village. The less you go out, the less you go out. He himself is not afraid of death, but he is not willing to hurt Shen Chenyu and the others.

Fortunately, his face was disfigured, and Xiling Village was a remote place, as long as he was careful, no one would notice his existence.

Shen Chenyu was silent for a long time when she heard his words, and she wanted to become stronger even more urgently in her heart. Because only when he becomes strong enough can he compete with that noble prince and allow Mu Linting to lead a normal life.

Because of so many incidents in the past two days, Shen Chenyu has not been able to take a good rest, and because of the painkillers he took, Shen Chenyu slept until noon the next day this time. Before Shen Chenyu sat up with his temples pressed, Mu Linting came in with a bowl of fragrant chicken soup.

Shen Chenyu shed a lot of blood yesterday, but Shen Liushi was terrified. So when he got up early this morning, Shen Liu gave the child to Mu Linting, and then bought a chicken from the villagers with the money.

Shen Chenyu was embarrassed to let a blind man take care of him. Just as she was about to reach out to take the chicken soup, she pulled the wound and took a deep breath.

Mu Linting sighed when he heard the voice, and casually stretched out a hand to put on Shen Chenyu's shoulder. "Don't move, let me do it."

As Mu Linting said, he scooped up a spoonful of chicken soup and blew it, then handed it in Shen Chenyu's direction. Seeing this, Shen Chenyu had no choice but to go over and drank the chicken soup obediently.

Because he was worried that the chicken soup would be spilled on the bed, Shen Chenyu and Mu Linting were very close. Surrounded by a fragrant white air, Mu Linting's thick eyelashes seemed to be covered with mist, making Shen Chenyu in front of him a little distracted for a while.

Before Shen Chenyu felt that Mu Linting's eyes were very, very beautiful. When he used to read novels on the Internet, he often saw a person described in the novel like this, saying that there seemed to be stars shining in that person's eyes. At that time, Shen Chenyu thought it was very funny, thinking how big the eyes of that person would have to be to fill a galaxy.

But every time he looked into Mu Linting's eyes, he realized that a person's eyes are extremely beautiful, not only the eyes are full of stars, but even more exaggerated compliments are not surprising.

Just when Shen Chenyu was distracted, the spoon in Mu Linting's hand was stuffed into his mouth, and all kinds of beautiful thoughts suddenly disappeared, leaving only a mouth full of rich chicken soup that was a bit choking. Seeing Shen Chenyu coughing in embarrassment, Mu Linting slightly raised the corners of his tightly pursed mouth.

At the same time, Fuyou came to Xiling Village once again with a crazy boy who had a rest day. When they came this time, the battle was even bigger than before, and there was even a group of soldiers behind them.

Although King Qi Jin didn't come with him, but because he brought an army this time, the villagers who had never seen this kind of battle were frightened when they saw these troops.

When Shen Chenyu came out, seeing this posture, she knew that the situation was not good. But he didn't intend to persuade the crazy kid, after all, he had never experienced the pain of the crazy kid, and he had no right to persuade a suffering person to be kind.

Compared with other villagers in Xiling Village, the people who are more afraid now are the family of the lazy man. If they had known that there would be such a result, they would never have dared to provoke the crazy boy.

But there is no regret medicine in this world, anyone who does something wrong should be punished. Especially in this era of strict class hierarchy, even if they are only one rank higher than them, they can easily be crushed to death.

The crazy boy had obviously been cleaned up carefully, and now he looked even more similar to Qi Jinwang in his fine clothes and brocades. Especially in the eyes of the other party, after the daze and apprehension of yesterday faded away, only the sharp hatred like a blade remained.

Standing behind the crazy boy, Fuyou saw that except for Shen Chenyu, the other villagers were shrinking one by one, he couldn't help but smiled and said to the crazy boy: "Do you want me to catch all these mud legs?"

Since yesterday Knowing from the chief guard that their little master has suffered all these years, Fuyou has always wanted to kill them all.

Although the people who really bullied the crazy boy were only a few scoundrels in Xiling Village, most of them were watching with cold eyes.

If it weren't for their inaction and indifference, it wouldn't have contributed to the greater evil in some people's hearts. If it wasn't for their little master pretending to be crazy, they probably would have died before King Qi Jin arrived.

Thinking that their little master was being targeted by some disgusting things at such a young age, Fuyou's eyes could not help being cold.

Crazy Boy's leg was seriously injured before, and he hasn't been able to recover properly since then. If Shen Chenyu hadn't given him a few doses of medicine, the mad boy's legs would have been disabled long ago. Yesterday, the imperial doctor who came with him diagnosed that it was very difficult for the opponent's leg to fully recover, which made Qi Jinwang and Fuyou feel very heavy.

At this time, the crazy boy was sitting in a well-built wheelchair, looking at the small village in front of him expressionlessly. He doesn't have much affection for this place, and what he has is only the unbearable past and the lingering fear hidden deep in his heart.

No one will understand his pain. When other children are loved by their parents, he is struggling to survive alone. While other children were looking forward to a candy and a hug, he was surrounded by boundless hunger, cold, illness, panic... every day and every night.

But not only these, there are also people with malicious intentions who take bullying the weak as fun, and have dirty thoughts about a young child.

Last night, the father said a lot to him, and he also said a lot to the father. He said he was very, very scared... He was being targeted by bad guys, and every night when people were quiet, he would be so scared to death.

His father told him, "You used to be afraid because you were too weak, and you will never be again."

Because in the future, he will be the son of King Qi Jin, and he will control the life and death of others. He can easily crush those who have bullied him to death, no one can escape his palm.

...

Not far behind the mad boy, Chen Yanzi, who was sent to the prison before, was being dragged forward by a tall military man.

Chen Yanzi wailed in horror, "Hey? Military Lord, Military Lord, what are you going to do? I have already been imprisoned, where are you taking me?"

The military master Gao kicked him when he heard the words, and Chen Yanzi curled up in pain, feeling that the opponent's kick would kill him.

The crazy boy didn't look at Chen Yanzi more, but suppressed the ferocious smile at the corner of his mouth and said, "Interesting, then it's up to you."

Hearing this, Fuyou immediately waved to the soldiers behind him. The group of soldiers immediately took orders in unison, and then broke into the house to arrest people.

"Only if you are strong enough, and then destroy the fear yourself, you will find that your so-called fear is nothing more than mediocre."

Seeing the people in the whole village being dragged out, everyone showed him terrified eyes, His father's words were all in his mind.

Looking at their panicked looks now, it seems to overlap with him back then. The only difference is that back then he was afraid of them alone, but now they all fear him alone.

The village chief was pushed away with a disturbed expression, completely unaware of what was going on now. Although many people guessed that the identity of the crazy boy was not simple, they did not expect that the other party could command the army.

At this time, everyone in the village was very nervous, and some old and weak women and children turned pale with fright. Everyone seemed in a bad mood.

Shen Chenyu's family was also taken there, and when Shen Jiaren and the others saw him coming, they couldn't help but glance at him uneasily.

Seeing this, Shen Chenyu shook her head slightly, signaling them not to act rashly now. In Shen Chenyu's eyes, a crazy kid is not bad, no matter how crazy a person who knows how to repay his kindness, he won't be really bad.

The crazy kid just needs a place to vent, and when he completely vents the anger in his heart, everything after that will be easy to talk about. As for who is the point of venting, it's not the time for them to stand out anyway.

The Shen family saw that Shen Chenyu was still calm, and the previous anxiety was a little relieved. How can I say that Shen Chenyu is also the benefactor of the crazy boy, if Shen Chenyu speaks, the other party should listen.

In fact, not only the Shen family had this idea, but also many villagers around. They subconsciously looked at Shen Chenyu, but found that Shen Chenyu didn't mean to intercede at all, so some people couldn't help but blame Shen Chenyu because they were too scared.

"Xiaolang from the Shen family, at least you can say a few words, you can't take the whole village seriously just because your family is fine?"

The person who said this belonged to the lazy family. Their family had a mess with the crazy kid yesterday, so at this moment their family is most afraid. The other party wanted to drag the whole village into the water, in order to coerce Shen Chenyu into speaking good words for them.

Shen Chenyu is a scholar, and scholars are most concerned about reputation. If something happened to the whole village, Shen Chenyu would also bear the reputation of being cold-blooded. Even if Shen Chenyu is admitted as a scholar in the future, he will not have a good life with such a reputation.

After the man spoke, the lazy man also had the idea of breaking the jar, anyway, he was the one who offended the crazy boy the most, and the crazy boy would definitely not let him go this time.

Instead of sitting here waiting to die, the lazy man couldn't help but followed the man and said, "That's right, Brother Shen Jiayu, we are all from the same village, you can't just watch everyone die, can you? Especially those old people and children, you Isn't such a cold-blooded person afraid of thunder?"

Originally, the people in Xiling Village were very frightened, but when they heard the lazy man's words, they suddenly went crazy with fright. Some timid brothers and girls couldn't help crying together with the children.

They are all farmers who have never seen the world. They were frightened when they saw these troops, and they didn't realize that they were being led by the nose by lazy people.

The lazy man seemed to think that this kind of crying effect was good, he didn't have the guts to compete with the current crazy boy, so he desperately forced Shen Chenyu to come forward in this way.

But Shen Chenyu didn't let him do what he wanted. Not only did he not stand up to help and intercede, but he leaned on Mu Linting with a sickly face.

Shen Chenyu was injured by the lazy man's family yesterday, and there is still a bloody bandage wrapped around her wrist. In addition, he had a more beautiful face than his elder brother, and now his slightly pale face is very pitiful.

Mu Linting looked at the man who was pretending to be pitiful and weak, and while trying to straighten his waist, he subconsciously moved his neck. Because when Shen Chenyu was leaning on his shoulder, her warm breath just hit his neck.

Seeing Shen Chenyu's appearance, the lazy man immediately gritted his teeth angrily and said, "Shen Chenyu, even if you are not a native of Xiling Village, don't you even care about the life and death of your mother and your fellow clan?

" The Shen family went into the water, and the silent person who had been sitting in the wheelchair suddenly raised his hand and nodded to the noisy lazy man.

A military master immediately dragged the lazy man over. The lazy man who was so loud at first was scared to pee, kicking his legs and screaming.

"What are you doing? Let me go quickly, you can't treat me like this, do you...do you still have the king's law in your eyes?" The

crazy boy held the corner of his mouth, and then propped his chin up with one hand. "The law of the king? I don't know what crime should be for murdering the blood of the royal family?"

The words of murdering the blood of the royal family were what Fuyou told him before coming here, and the madman immediately asked what he had learned.

When a guard heard the words, he immediately replied loudly: "The crime should be punished!" The

lazy man was about to howl when he heard the words, but he was kicked twice by the military master who was escorting him. Then he heard the sound of the wheelchair rolling, and the delicate and beautiful face of the crazy boy.

Seeing this, the military master immediately knelt down on one knee, and then said to the mad boy: "My lord, this man is too noisy, why don't you cut off his tongue." As

soon as the other party finished speaking, the lazy man's family members all cried out. One by one, they wanted to step forward to plead for the lazy man, but they were whipped back by the soldiers on the side. As if the mad

boy didn't hear their screams, he reached out and took the saber in the military master's hand, then raised the sword and said to the military master: "I want to come in person."

One glance, and then he reached out to help the crazy boy hold him down. Seeing this, the mad boy gave him an approving glance, then raised his sword and stabbed him fiercely.

Looking at the person who was breathless for a moment, the crazy boy said with a distressed face: "Oh, my hand is raw, and the stab is missed."

Now not only the surrounding villagers, but also Fuyou and the surrounding soldiers couldn't help but burst out slightly. In a cold sweat.

When most people hold a sword for the first time, it is very difficult to injure others, let alone kill them. But the little prince in front of him was like a born executioner, he didn't have a trace of fear when he used the sword.

Now no one suspects that this little son is not King Qi Jin's seed. Because the other party is so similar to King Qi Jin, even if he is a little brother, the ruthlessness in his bones is still exactly the same as that of the prince.

Originally, the first person the madman wanted to deal with was Chen Mozi who had sneaked back from Qingcheng County. But some people just like to make noise and insist on jumping out to find a sense of presence in front of him.

Crazy Boy looked at the surroundings that instantly became quiet, and while throwing the sword in his hand on the ground casually, he asked Fuyou to help him wipe the blood off his hands.

The mad boy looked at the surroundings where there were only sobs left, and after a long silence, he slowly opened his mouth and said: "I heard the children in the village read, saying that human nature is good at first, but in my eyes, human nature is evil at first. Only through the serious teaching of family members and teachers, and being bound by various etiquette and ethics, can we completely suppress the evil in our bones."

"In your eyes, I am evil, although I also think I am evil. But you are actually like me. It's no different, the reason why you are shrinking now is just because you don't have my power." The

mad boy's eyes suddenly became fierce, staring at them like a ghost and said: "So! Put away the evil you look at. The eyes of ghosts!"

The people in Xiling Village immediately lowered their heads in fright, even the crying children didn't dare to cry, and they all shrunk their heads and looked terrified.

The crazy boy didn't look at them much, but pointed to Chen Mozi who was beside him. "It's your turn next." The

crazy boy is of royal blood, these military masters call him Xiao Shizi, and his father is the current King Qi Jin.

Whether it's Chen Mozi, the lazy man, or another ruffian in Xiling Village, what they did before was to murder the blood of the royal family. If they were dealt with in strict accordance with the harsh laws of this dynasty, these people would be sentenced to death and be quartered in public.

But because the sky was snowing again, and the mad boy's physical condition was not good, these people were only beheaded in the end.

In addition, the lazy man's family was also taken away by the army. Compared to killing all of them, it is better to send them all to the border to build the city wall.

I heard from the military men in the army that the work of building the city wall is very hard, and if you are not careful, you will lose your life. After all, there are no safety measures in this era, and if you are not careful when hanging on such a high wall, you will die. Therefore, most of the people who built the city wall were criminals who had committed capital crimes, or some criminals who had been sent into exile.

After Crazy Boy and the others left, many people in Xiling Village realized that they were almost used by the Lazy Man's family just now. The lunatics just caught them out one after another, and never said that they would kill them all, but because of what the lazy man said, they almost followed them to persecute Shen Chenyu.

Fortunately, there are still some smart people in Xiling Village. If these people hadn't secretly given them winks, if they were really instigated by the lazy man's family, then not only those few people would die.

In fact, what they didn't know was that there was a moment when the lunatic wanted to kill them all, because only after doing so could he completely come out of the hatred.

But before he could completely become a ghost, he saw Shen Chenyu and Mu Linting in the crowd. He didn't want to kill them as well, but if there were only two of them left in a village, it would mean that he had completely blocked their way.

Sometimes, it really changes in a blink of an eye.

With this moment of hesitation, when the crazy boy looked over again, he found many familiar faces in the crowd.

That fat girl with braids once secretly gave him two sweet dates. That black and thin little boy once stole pomegranates from Aunt Xu's house together with him. And Aunt Xu, every time she saw him she would scold him, but every time she would secretly give him something to eat.

Thinking back so carefully, it seems that everything is not as hateful as he thought.

Forget it, forget it, he really isn't evil enough...

Three days after this incident, the crazy boy left with King Qi Jin. When he left, he didn't come to say goodbye, he just sent two things over.

The two things are a box of gold and the Ganoderma lucidum that Shen Chenyu has always wanted. Ganoderma lucidum should be used to nourish Mu Linting's body, and I don't know where the child knew about it.

Probably because of the ruthlessness of the crazy boy, it was so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in Xiling Village that no one dared to mention him for a long time after he left.

But no matter how much they feared him, the rest of the day had to go on as usual. Once the days get busy, everyone will soon forget the unpleasant past.

This year's county examination started on the eighth day of February. Shen Chenyu and several senior brothers rushed to Qingcheng County early on the first day of February. Afterwards, under the leadership of Mr. Liu, they filled out the information and signed up in the county government office together, and waited for the county examination on the eighth day of February.

A scholar is the first step in the imperial examination. You need to pass the county examination, the government examination, and the college examination to become a scholar.

Among them, the county examination and the government examination are put together, collectively referred to as the children's examination. As long as you pass the county and government examinations, you are already a child. Even if you don't pass the subsequent college exam, you don't need to take the first two exams if you continue to take the college exam.

Because the imperial examination is to select talents, it has the ability to "be a farmer in the morning and enter the Tianzitang in the evening", and change the family status easily, so the imperial examination has been strict throughout the dynasties.

In order to avoid taking the exam or cheating, there are many requirements when registering for the imperial examination. Not only do candidates need to be innocent within three generations, but they also need to fill in the candidate's name, age, place of origin, height, weight, appearance, etc.

Even in the imperial examinations of some dynasties, painters were hired to paint portraits of candidates, and they had to enter the venue against the portraits during the exam.

In addition, five candidates who are taking the same exam are required to bond with each other, and then a student from the county will be the guarantee. In order to ensure that the examinee is innocent, not during the period of mourning, not a descendant of slavery, not a test taker, etc.

I also said before that five candidates who take the same exam form bonds with each other. If one of the five candidates cheats, the other candidates will also lose their qualifications for the exam.

When Shen Chenyu signed up, there was also a young painter who helped them draw simple portraits. Because there are many candidates and the time is short, most of the portraits only draw the characteristics of each person.

If you have a square face, draw a big square face, and if you have a big nose, draw a big nose. The lower line of small characters is the description of the appearance, and the height of the face is written emphatically.

When it was Shen Chenyu's turn, the young painter stared at him for a long time, probably because Shen Chenyu had no outstanding features, the other party just drew two simple strokes, and then wrote under Shen Chenyu's portrait: "The face is like a crown jade , comparable to Pan An."

Shen Chenyu glanced at him carelessly, although his appearance was indeed good-looking, he always felt that the other party was a bit exaggerated. Especially when she saw that the other party's ears were red, Shen Chenyu became more sure of her guess.

...

Shen Chenyu has the cultures of the two worlds stuffed in his mind. Compared with the native scholars in this world, he has the knowledge of the two worlds, which is quite a disadvantage.

Because when he saw an exam question, he would involuntarily translate it in vernacular. After Shen Chenyu figured out the content of the exam question, he would translate it into classical Chinese through the original owner and his own knowledge base. In this way, not only will his speed of doing the questions be greatly reduced, but he may also answer the wrong questions due to some cultural differences.

Although the master and senior brothers said that Shen Chenyu is very sure that he can pass the children's test this time, but Shen Chenyu has never really played, and he doesn't know how he can do in the test. But no matter how well he did in the exam, Shen Chenyu's mentality is still stable.

To Shen Chenyu's surprise, he met Feng Dahan in the inn. It stands to reason that Feng Dahan is already a child student, and the college examination will not be taken until August. What is he going to Qingcheng County for now?

Because the lazy man's family was taken away, Shen Chenyu had no direct evidence, and he didn't have much time since the county examination was coming, so he didn't bother to find Feng Dahan. Seeing Feng Dahan appearing here at this time, Shen Chenyu couldn't help ringing the alarm in her heart.

It wasn't until Shen Chenyu chatted with several senior brothers that he realized why Feng Dahan came here now. This person has often been like this in the past few years, always squandering the money given by his family in Qingcheng County under the pretense that he is coming to take part in the imperial examination.

The reason why Feng Dahan came here earlier this year, besides coaxing the family's money out to squander, is another very important reason. I don't know how he tricked his wife into asking him to bring a group of juniors to participate in the county examination. What are you talking about, he is now a child student anyway, he is more experienced in both the county examination and the government examination, it is safer for him to bring his juniors to participate in the imperial examination.

Feng Dahan is the best at saving face, coaxing his wife and juniors around, everyone thinks he is a very warm-hearted person, a group of ignorant teenagers all look forward to him.

Shen Chenyu had heard those people compliment each other more than once in such a short time while eating, and couldn't help but slightly lowered her head and smiled softly.

Before, he thought these teenagers were miserable, but he met such a wicked senior brother like Feng Dahan. Later, it was discovered that they were just like dogs of a feather, and Shen Chenyu immediately put away her compassion for them.

Just when Shen Chenyu was about to leave, Feng Dahan, who had been pretending not to see him, suddenly led a group of people to block his way. Feng Dahan looked like a gentleman, shaking a folding fan in the cold and smiling: "Huh? Isn't this Brother Shen Jiayu

? I didn't expect Brother Yu to end this year?"

Putting on a decent smile, he called Feng Dahan softly, "Brother Feng."

Everyone has a love for beauty, especially these arty scholars, and some even like to paint and paint like Wei and Jin men. So when they suddenly saw Shen Chenyu's outstanding appearance, several young scholars couldn't help but shine.

A boy about 14 or 15 years old stretched out his hand and gently tugged at Feng Dahan's sleeve, looking like he was waiting for Feng Dahan to introduce him.

Feng Dahan was very upset when he saw this, but he still introduced it to everyone with a smile on his face. "This little man is Shen Chenyu from the same village as me, because he is the youngest man in the Shen family, and everyone in our village calls him Brother Yu."

After saying this, Feng Dahan introduced several people around him. These people are all Feng Dahan's juniors, the oldest is no more than twenty-five or six years old, and the youngest is no more than fourteen years old.

Later, Feng Dahan came forward, and they wanted to invite Shen Chenyu to have a drink together, and Feng Dahan's juniors were also very enthusiastic.

Shen Chenyu still remembered what happened before, and seeing that she was about to take the county test, she didn't dare to get too close to Feng Dahan at this time.

This Feng Dahan had a bad intention at first glance. Although Shen Chenyu really wanted to settle accounts with the other party, everything was more important in the subsequent county examination.

Someone noticed that Shen Chenyu was not very happy, and couldn't help asking with a slightly cold face: "Brother Shen, don't you want to give us this face?" When the

others heard the words, they quickly stretched out their hands to pull the person who spoke, and then smiled Help smooth things over.

"Although we just met each other just now, we are so destined to see each other as old friends, so don't refuse Shen Jiaxiaolang."

"Yes, yes, you and brother are from the same village, why don't we talk about the county examination together?" Things."

Although these people were trying to smooth things over on the surface, they still wanted to take Shen Chenyu away, as if they didn't want to take them away by force.

The uninformed people on the side will only think that they are too enthusiastic, but those who know their nature will only find their behavior disgusting.

The colder Shen Chenyu's heart was, the more gentle and charming the smile on his face was. Feng Dahan came here intentionally to make trouble for Shen Chenyu, and these people were clearly used as wooden warehouses.

Just as Shen Chenyu was thinking about how to get out, a dirty little beggar suddenly appeared beside him, and a group of scholars couldn't help but back away in fright.

The little beggar looked only five or six years old, with a bird's nest-like head on his head, he squeezed into the crowd at once. Holding a small bowl in his dirty little hand, he was courting many scholars with a playful smile: "Masters, please do me a favor, give me a little reward, I haven't eaten for two days."

Feng Dahan looked at his dirty little hands, and took a few steps back in disgust, completely forgetting to trouble Shen Chenyu. Seeing that everyone was attracted by the little beggar, Shen Chenyu turned around and went up to the second floor while no one noticed him.

Soon Xiao Er found the little beggar, they were doing business here, and threw the little beggar out without saying a word.

The little beggar was thrown on his ass, and he sat on the street outside the inn for a long time, and he got up when he saw that no one felt sorry for him.

Just when the little beggar was about to pat his butt and leave, a small window on the second floor of the inn was suddenly pushed open, followed by a very pleasant voice. "Little guy, take this."

Before the little beggar ran under the window, a blue purse was thrown into his arms, and the little beggar immediately caught it in a hurry. After he saw clearly the broken silver inside, he immediately carefully put the purse into his pocket.

Just when the little beggar hid his purse and was about to thank the kind handsome scholar, the window that was originally open was closed. The little beggar stared at the window for a long time, then slipped away while there was no one around.

After Shen Chenyu closed the window, she sat at the table and began to read. He didn't have extra kindness, the reason why he gave the little beggar money was just to thank him for his rescue just now.

If it wasn't for the timely appearance of the other party, it would not be easy for him to get rid of Feng Dahan and the others in public. After all, being a scholar has too much to pay attention to, and now that he is in Qingcheng County, a sensitive place, it is better for him to cause less trouble with his identity.

At the same time, the Shen family in Qingcheng County also learned about Shen Chenyu's participation in the county examination.

The Shen family in Qingcheng County has a certain status in Qingcheng County. When Shen Chenyu signed up for the county examination, someone secretly passed the news back.

The adoptive father of the original owner was also the elder of the Shen family, and he was a little anxious when he heard the news. He hadn't paid attention to the other party for a long time, completely unaware that the other party not only returned to the Shen family in Xiling Village, but also participated in this year's county examination as a son of the Shen family in Xiling Village. When they treated Shen Chenyu's family like that, he was very worried that if Shen Chenyu was really successful, he would hate them because of what happened before.

Compared to Mr. Shen's worries and fears, the original owner's adoptive mother, Shen Yushi, was much calmer. She looked at the master who was turning back and forth in front of her, and first took a sip of the fragrant tea from the teacup, and then said to the other party calmly: "What are you afraid of? They say that knowing a son is like a father, how many catties does he have?" How many taels do you still not know?"

Elder Shen frowned when he heard this, "Yu'er, you still have some talents."

Shen Yu sneered, she loved this son so much before, but after she found out that he was not her own, she hated him so much. She always felt that Shen Chenyu, the adopted son, stole the maternal love of her biological son from her.

"If he was really talented, he wouldn't have failed the exam so many times back then. What's more, he is living with those mud legs now. Without the good life and good wife our family gave him, even if he is a bit talented. It's almost exhausted."

"I heard from my servant that he sold a lot of books before. He even sold the books he regarded as his life, and he didn't have a good teacher to teach him. Do you think... how will he fare in the exam? ?"

Even if Shen Chenyu is really talented, but her son tortured her into that way, his body would have been exhausted long ago. The imperial examination not only requires good knowledge, but also a body that can endure hardships and stand hard work, and a good attitude that is not surprised by favors or humiliations.

Shen Chenyu took the exam so many times in the past, and every time she took the county exam, something went wrong, and the mentality of the other party had long been worse than before. Shen Yushi wasn't worried at all, but felt that Shen Chenyu's visit was for nothing this time.

Master Shen also felt that what his wife said was right. Although Shen Chenyu was indeed very smart when she was a child, since Shen Mingxian came back from the outside, Shen Chenyu's personality has become more and more obvious day by day.

"Then... Shall we tell Shen'er?"

When Shen Ming went to Liangzhou Mansion before, he told them to keep an eye on Shen Chenyu. Now that Shen Chenyu suddenly took part in this year's county examination, Master Shen thought it would be better to tell Shen Ming the title.

Shen Yushi shook her head when she heard the words, thinking that such a trivial matter should not bother Shen Minglian. "My son's husband is just pregnant, so it's better not to tell him such trivial things. If you are really worried, you might as well..."

...

The day before the exam, Shen Chenyu felt flustered for no reason. He thought he was suffering from exam syndrome, so he closed the book, closed his eyes and opened the Plane Mall, trying to divert his attention in this way.

During this period of time, apart from being able to get dividends from the big house, Shen Chenyu also received a large amount of rewards from the prefect of Liangzhou Prefecture, King Qi Jin and the crazy boy.

Shen Chenyu has nothing to do now, so he wants to see if the money in this world can be filled into the plane mall like in the previous life.

In the previous world, 10,000 yuan was equal to 1 point, and 300 million yuan was only 30,000 points. The purchasing power of one tael of silver in this world is about as much as the purchasing power of more than one thousand yuan in later generations. According to the exchange rate of the previous life, it would be about ten taels of silver and one point.

Shen Chenyu wasn't sure how much it was, so she took ten taels of silver for an experiment. Then he was surprised to find that ten taels of silver in this world can be exchanged for ten points, that is to say, one tael of silver is one point.

Shen Chenyu took another ten taels of silver to experiment, and the result was exactly the same as before. He doesn't understand why the two worlds are different, but this result is very good for him.

When Qi Jinwang bought flowers from his family, he gave him two thousand silver in one go. Shen Chenyu was used to spending money lavishly, so she raised her hand and filled it with two thousand silver.

After recharging, Shen Chenyu suddenly regretted it. Two thousand taels of silver is not a small sum in this world. He can use the money to do business, and then he can get rich by rolling the money and regenerating the money.

But everyone said that he would not regret it, since the money had been used up, Shen Chenyu didn't continue to struggle. What's more, with his current status as a scholar, he is not suitable for doing big business.

Two thousand taels of silver is two thousand points, plus the points left before, Shen Chenyu can buy a lot of good things again.

Shen Chenyu wandered around the end-time plane, bought more than a dozen mutated fruits that could explode, and bought hundreds of mutated flower seeds and seedlings.

Just when he was about to close the plane mall, the plane mall in the last days suddenly refreshed, and there were several more products that he hadn't seen before.

Among them is a mutated fruit that looks like a golden cherry, and the price of one is 999 points. Because of the abnormally expensive price, Shen Chenyu couldn't hold back for a moment and reached out and clicked in. After he saw the detailed description of this golden cherry, Shen Chenyu gritted her teeth and bought two.

The price of two golden cherries was almost two thousand taels of silver, and the two thousand points were gone in a flash. But although the price is really expensive, this golden cherry is a good thing to save life.

After Shen Chenyu bought two golden cherries in one go, the inexplicable panic before disappeared, and then she slept peacefully and waited for the first county test tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Shen Chenyu woke up before dawn. Yinshi was about to arrive at the county examination room, so they had to get up early.

The weather in early February is still very cold, and there is a thick humidity in the morning air. This kind of wet and cold weather is very uncomfortable, making people feel that the clothes on their bodies are wet.

Shen Chenyu got her things ready, and then she came down from upstairs with a test basket. Seeing Shen Chenyu coming down, several senior brothers called Shen Chenyu to come over and eat quickly.

Shen Chenyu didn't want to eat at first, but seeing that everyone had eaten a little bit, he also sat down and picked up a pancake. The accommodation fee in the inn also includes the daily food fee, whether they eat or not, it is the money.

Seeing him sitting down, the inn clerk at the side hurried up to refill him with tea. Shen Chenyu took a sip of tea, then put down the tea bowl and stopped drinking.

The county test is divided into four sessions, and one session takes a whole day. Shen Chenyu didn't want to drink too much water, and was worried that after he entered the examination room, he would keep wanting to go to the toilet.

The latrine in the examination room is called the stinking hall, and it is not only small but also extremely dirty. Shen Chenyu has the memory of the original owner's county examination, so she knows how bad the environment inside the stinky account is, and she is very reluctant to go to the toilet inside.

Because one test is one day, although students who finish the test can come out early, most candidates still bring steamed buns and water.

There is food and drink in Shen Chenyu's space, so he doesn't need to bring these things. But everyone brought some more or less, and in order not to look too abrupt, he also brought a copy.

Xiao Er, who put food and water for Shen Chenyu, couldn't help but secretly glanced at Shen Chenyu. Shen Chenyu was sensitive to other people's eyes since she was a child, and he couldn't help but frowned subconsciously.

After a group of people had eaten and drank well, everyone went out with their test baskets. Shen Chenyu checked the things in the test basket while walking forward with the big team.

Because of the strange behavior of the little girl before, Shen Chenyu also checked the steamed buns and water inside, and saw that there was no cheat sheet or anything like that in it, so she relaxed her heart that had been hanging around for a while.

Anyway, he didn't plan to eat these things, as long as there were no cheats in them. However, after this exam, he still had to pay attention to the inn, and he didn't know if he was just being overwhelmed.

Seeing that Shen Chenyu was so cautious, some people couldn't help checking. After all, it is about their future, even some big-hearted people can't help but become very cautious.

Compared with Shen Chenyu's nervousness, the group of scholars brought by Feng Dahan is much more relaxed. They were joking and joking along the way, without any sense of nervousness about taking the county test soon.

Seeing that Shen Chenyu kept his head down, Feng Dahan couldn't help but said to Shen Chenyu from a long distance away: "Brother Yu, don't be too nervous, even if you fail the exam this time, there will be a next time, anyway, Brother Yu has passed the exam before. Many times."

As for Shen Chenyu's repeated failures before, he only learned about it from someone else two days ago, and this other person is the original owner's former friend.

Because the former owner had a good family background, and he was the younger son who was valued more in the family. Those good friends of the original owner, many of them are envious and jealous of each other in their hearts.

Later, the original owner was wrong, and the attitudes of a group of people towards the original owner were very different, and each of them wished to step on the original owner.

I don't know how these people knew that Shen Chenyu had come to take the county examination, so someone told about Shen Chenyu's repeated failures.

Now that Feng Dahan suddenly mentioned this matter, he just wanted to see how Shen Chenyu collapsed. It's a pity that Shen Chenyu's personality is different from that of the original owner. Although he is somewhat nervous, this nervousness will not affect his normal performance at all.

Shen Chenyu is the kind of character who becomes calmer as he gets more nervous. He often makes mistakes in small things, but he will perform well on the spot in big things.

Shen Chenyu didn't care about Feng Dahan's words. Feng Dahan was only accompanying other people to the exam today, so there was no need for him to conflict with him at this time.

Seeing that Shen Chenyu didn't say a word, Feng Dahan thought he had stepped on Shen Chenyu's pain point, so he opened his mouth and continued to say to Shen Chenyu: "Ah, the weather this year is really cold, I don't know if the injury on your hand is healed, Brother Yu? I saw that the injury on your hand was not serious before."

Before, everyone thought that Feng Dahan and Shen Chenyu had a good relationship. Now that I heard Feng Dahan's tone of finding fault, I realized that the relationship between these two people is not only bad, it seems... there is a feeling of incompatibility between the two people.

At this time, Shen Chenyu understood Feng Dahan's thoughts better. He really wanted to anger Shen Chenyu, and he didn't want Shen Chenyu to participate in this county examination.

Shen Chenyu gently pulled the corners of her lips, then looked at Feng Dahan with cold eyes and said, "Are you so afraid of me taking part in the county examination?"

Feng Dahan's face froze when he heard this, he suddenly squeezed the folding fan in his hand, She looked like she wanted to swallow Shen Chenyu alive.

Shen Chenyu rolled her eyes when she saw this, and then continued to speak in a calm tone: "You want to provoke me so much, but you don't want me to take the county exam. Because you are worried that if I pass the county exam, it will shake you in the future. position."

Feng Dahan gritted his teeth, raised his foot and walked towards Shen Chenyu, with a look on his face that wanted to fight with Shen Chenyu.

Shen Chenyu is not a fool, if he fights with him at this critical moment, it is him, a candidate who is just a candidate, who is unlucky in the end.

So when Feng Dahan came over, Shen Chenyu walked quickly towards the county government office while continuing to speak unreasonably.

"You are worried that I will become the second student and replace you in Xiling Village. You are even very afraid that I will become a scholar, and then you will be overwhelmed by me."

Feng Dahan said angrily: "Shut up, what do you think you are? Do you think that being a scholar is easy to test?"

Seeing that Feng Dahan was about to catch up with Shen Chenyu, he turned around the corner and was in front of the county government's ceremony room , there is a group of government servants holding torches in front of them.

As soon as the yamen servant saw an examinee carrying a test basket being chased by a man with a vicious look on his face, he raised his voice and angrily said: "The county government is an important place, no noise is strictly allowed!"

Shen Chenyu ran towards the yamen servants in panic when she heard that. Then, with a look of pity on the young scholar, he asked a big yamen servant for help.

"Brother yamen servant, save me, this man wants to harm me!"

Shen Chenyu was prettier than the little brother, and he was indeed being chased by Feng Dahan, so the yamen servant immediately went to arrest Feng Dahan with a fierce face.

Feng Dahan was dazzled by anger just now, he just wanted to grab Shen Chenyu and beat him hard. Seeing a yamen servant trying to catch him now, his first reaction was to turn around in fright and run back. But before he ran far, because he was also a frail scholar, he was caught by the yamen servant within two steps.

Every year during the county examination, there will be some troubles with good intentions. The yamen servants lined up outside the examination room are just to avoid such things from happening.

Feng Dahan wanted to explain to the yamen servant, but the yamen servant did not give him time to explain at all. "As long as you don't take part in the county test, you can't do anything to the students who take the test. This has been a rule for years."

Shen Chenyu watched Feng Dahan being dragged away by the yamen servants, and immediately started queuing up to enter the arena like a normal person , completely lost the pitiful look just now.

When the other students chased after him, although they were surprised why they didn't see Feng Dahan, they didn't dare to delay when they saw that they were about to enter the arena, and followed Shen Chenyu one by one and started queuing up.

The county examination is divided into four sessions in total, with a two-day break for one test. For example, Shen Chenyu participated in the first round today, and the invigilator will start marking the papers tomorrow, and wait for the third day to release the results.

If the first test is on the list, then the second test will start on the fourth day. Then the exams went on one by one, and when the last exam was reached, there were not many candidates left.

If the fourth game can win the first place, then the other party will be named the first place. Generally, after being selected as the head of the case in the county examination, basically you will not fail the subsequent government and hospital examinations.

The queuing inspection before entering the examination room is a very long and boring thing. Obviously Shen Chenyu and the others had come very early, but the cold wind was still blowing outside the examination room for a long time.

Shen Chenyu was a little worried that she would get sick, and kept freezing her legs while queuing, because her body would be warmer only when she moved.

At the beginning, many candidates stared at him with strange eyes, feeling that Shen Chenyu's appearance was very embarrassing. But after standing for a long time, a gust of cold wind came and they also started shaking.

Seeing this, many family members who sent for the exam kept encouraging the candidates to take the exam well, but at the same time couldn't help worrying about their health.

In order to prevent cheating and cheating, candidates cannot wear jackets with interlayers, and can only wear a few more thin single clothes. So such cold weather, some weak scholars can't bear it a bit.

When Shen Chenyu was finally in line, Shen Chenyu took out the paperwork and test cards, and at the same time handed the test basket to the yamen servant next to him for inspection. After these two things are checked, they have to go into a nearby shed to take off their clothes for inspection.

Fortunately, the county test is not particularly harsh. You don't have to strip yourself naked in public, and you can barely keep your underwear to look decent.

Shen Chenyu was a little cold before, but now she is undressing and putting on clothes again, her delicate face is a little blue from the cold.

If Shen Chenyu hadn't been exercising before, and with the original owner's frail physical condition, he would have contracted the cold by now.

Once a person is sick, his brain is not very clear. Don't mention being on the list at that time, it may be difficult to persist in passing the exam.

After that, I have to check the portraits, get together with a few senior brothers, and then I will be born to sing the protection. After these procedures were finally completed, they received their number plates and found their own number rooms one after another.

Shen Chenyu felt very fortunate, because there was no stinking number next to her, so she didn't have to endure some strange smells.

The number room of the county examination center is a row of very small houses, and the space in the house is very narrow. Due to the gloomy weather today, the small number room still looks dark.

Shen Chenyu felt that such a room was not like a house, but a little like a small earth cave. After he entered, he smelled a musty smell, and sneezed a little uncomfortable.

Opposite Shen Chenyu is also a row of numbered rooms, but they all have their buttocks facing this way, so there is no one there.

The inside of the number room is also very simple, except for the necessities of tables and chairs, there are only two spare candles. As for the water or food that candidates will use, there will be servants in the examination room responsible for selling them. However, the things inside are very expensive, and most candidates will not buy them there.

While Shen Chenyu took out the test basket, she silently waited for the time to start the test. In addition to pens, inks, inkstones and food, it is absolutely forbidden to bring a piece of paper and other things in the test basket, not even a rag to wipe the table.

As the invigilator read out the county examination rules, a yamen servant rang the gong, and Shen Chenyu got the first test paper.

Among the imperial examinations, the children's examination is the basis, and it is relatively simple among the imperial examinations. The scope of the examination does not exceed the four books and five classics, and the county examination is the foundation of the foundation.

According to the talent of the original owner, it is actually very easy to pass the county test. It's a pity that the original owner's mentality is not good, and people have been making trouble for him, so the original owner has not been able to pass the exam.

Shen Chenyu himself has a little foundation in literature, and after this year's study of hanging beams and thorns, he has already integrated all the memories of the original owner. In fact, he is quite sure about the county examination.

While Shen Chenyu lit the candle, because he was worried that the candle would stain the examination paper if it fell down, he deliberately blocked the inkstone in front of the candle.

Master Liu said before that the test paper score is also very important, and the paper must be very clean and tidy. Otherwise, even if you have real talents and knowledge, the invigilator who grades the test paper will brush it off after seeing that the test paper is dirty, almost without looking at it later.

In addition, to avoid cheating in the examination room, any alterations and smudges are not allowed on the examination paper, which will be mistaken by the invigilator for marking.

Shen Chenyu picked up the test paper and looked around, and found that the main test in this test was to post scriptures.

Pasting the scriptures is the same as reciting the fill-in-the-blank questions in classical Chinese in later generations. Generally, you are given the first sentence for you to write the next sentence silently, or you are given the last sentence for the person to recite the previous sentence. Even if the content is more difficult, at most it will give the previous paragraph, and then let you silently write the next paragraph based on the previous paragraph.

This kind of test questions is generally not too difficult, as long as the students' memory is better, do not carelessly make typos when answering the questions, and the handwriting is a little more neat and tidy.

In addition to the examination papers, draft paper was also distributed. When students answer questions, they usually write their answers on scratch paper. After confirming that there were no omissions or typos, he carefully copied the answers one by one, so as to avoid the problem of altering the test paper.

After Shen Chenyu wrote his name and hometown on the examination paper, he took out the draft paper and began to answer the questions quickly. Because the draft paper and the test paper must be handed in at the end, students cannot easily destroy the draft paper.

Shen Chenyu's wrist was injured before, although it was a month ago and the wound on her wrist has healed, but it still feels a little painful to touch it occasionally.

When Shen Chenyu thought of this wound, she couldn't help but think of Feng Dahan. Regardless of whether it was Feng Dahan's instigation or not, just because of Feng Dahan's many embarrassments in the past few days, Shen Chenyu didn't intend to just let him go. It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, let's wait for him to deal with the county test first, and then settle the account with Feng Dahan.

After Shen Chenyu finished the test paper, he took out a piece of snack from the space, and then checked the test paper while eating it in a leisurely manner.

These snacks were prepared by Mrs. Shen Liu. Shen Chenyu kept them in the space all the time. They were still warm when they were put in. Now they are still warm when they are taken out to eat. While everyone was eating steamed buns in cold water, Shen Chenyu was eating hot snacks.

Shen Chenyu checked it three times, and waited until people began to hand in the test papers one after another, and then he followed everyone to hand in the test papers.

Although he has a personal relationship with the magistrate of Liangzhou Prefecture, facing the two adoptive parents of the Shen family in Qingcheng County, as a junior, he has a natural disadvantage. He wasn't high-profile yet, and he didn't want to draw their attention too quickly.

When Shen Chenyu came out, many candidates had already come out. He had made an appointment with several senior brothers before, because he was not sure when everyone would come out, so he said that no matter who came out first, he would go back to the inn directly.

Shen Chenyu wasn't sure if they had come out, so she planned to buy some food on the street to take back. When he returned to the inn with the things he bought, he almost bumped into a waiter in the inn as soon as he entered the door. The little girl saw Shen Chenyu suddenly, and stared at him with a face full of surprise.

When Shen Chenyu met his gaze, he remembered the scene he saw early in the morning, and a bad thought vaguely flashed in his heart.

Could it be...the Shen family in Qingcheng County had already noticed him and bought off the guy in this inn? Obviously, I didn't feel this way before, but something happened when I started the exam today. Combined with the experience of the original owner's previous exams, Shen Chenyu couldn't help feeling chills in her heart.

How to put it, the original owner also grew up in Shen's family in Qingcheng County. Even if they didn't have any family affection at all, they should have some affection after raising cats and dogs for so many years. But the members of this family not only don't help the original owner, but this is... and they want to destroy him.

Shen Chenyu noticed that something was wrong with Xiao Er, and then began to be very careful in eating and drinking. Now is the critical moment to participate in the county examination, the inns in Qingcheng County are almost full, it is not easy for Shen Chenyu to change places temporarily.

Fortunately, there is food and water in his space, even if he doesn't eat what's in the inn, it's fine. It's just that he has never been so aggrieved, and he hates the Shen family in Qingcheng County even more in his heart. With the attitude of the Shen family in Qingcheng County, it was determined that they would never end with him.

At the end of the first exam night, Shen Chenyu deliberately did not go downstairs to eat, but asked the waiter in the inn to bring the food up.

Sure enough, just as Shen Chenyu thought, it was that strange little girl who came to deliver the food. Before the other party put down the food and turned to leave, Shen Chenyu suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the other party.

The other party was already very guilty of doing bad things, but when Shen Chenyu caught him, he was shocked. He forced himself to look at Shen Chenyu calmly, then looked at Shen Chenyu respectfully and said, "Guest officer, what are you doing?"

Shen Chenyu didn't say a word, but looked at it thoughtfully Look at the food on the table. He wasn't sure if there were ingredients in the meal this time, but based on the other party's reaction when he came back this morning, he could be sure that there must be something wrong with the things he brought into the examination room. Otherwise, when he saw him come back safe and sound, the Xiao Er wouldn't have been so surprised, as if he had encountered a ghost in broad daylight.

Shen Chenyu took out a dagger without saying a word, and then put the dagger on the opponent's neck, and Xiao Er was so frightened that his eyes straightened.

Without waiting for Xiao Er to realize what was going on, Shen Chenyu stuffed all the steamed buns and water in today's test basket into the opponent's mouth one after the other.

All of this happened so suddenly, Xiao Er was forced to swallow the steamed buns, and then opened his mouth with a pale face and shouted: "Killed, someone killed."

Shen Chenyu didn't stop him when she saw this, and waited deliberately He called everyone outside, and then slowly put away the dagger.

When everyone heard the movement and rushed over, they saw Shen Chenyu sitting at the side calmly and calmly, and the little girl who was calling for help was clasping her throat desperately.

Xiao Er was completely frightened and stupid at the moment. While holding his throat with one hand, he pointed at Shen Chenyu with the other, with a look on his face that he had been mercilessly abused by Shen Chenyu.

Shen Chenyu's elder brother, Chen Youli, looked at Shen Chenyu with a puzzled expression and said, "What happened?"

He looked at Shen Chenyu who was intact, and then at the second child who was also intact, I have no idea what's going on now.

As soon as Xiaoer heard the other party's words, he stopped holding his throat, and immediately pointed at Shen Chenyu and said sharply: "I just brought food to the other party, I didn't expect... I didn't expect the other party to suddenly take out a dagger, Then he forced me to eat the steamed buns in his test basket."

The people who were already in a daze were even more dazed after hearing Xiao Er's words. They looked at Shen Chenyu who was empty-handed, and then looked at Xiaoer who was full of anger.

Before everyone could ask the question in their hearts, the innkeeper who heard the news also came over. The shopkeeper looked at the messy group of people crowded here, and his chubby face completely lost the usual kindness.

He first glanced at Xiao Er who was lying on the ground, then turned his head and bowed slightly towards Shen Chenyu. "Young master, if you have any dissatisfaction, you may as well just say it, why bother a little girl who doesn't understand the rules?"

Shen Chenyu was a little displeased when he heard this, because he felt that he was looking for trouble unilaterally. But looking at the other party's calm face, it is estimated that he doesn't know what Xiaoer is doing.

The reason why Shen Chenyu thinks this way is because the inn they settled in is very famous, and I heard that there is an unknown big shot behind it. It is precisely because of the support of such a big person that their inn not only has a good reputation, but also has a better business than other inns.

When they came to Qingcheng County, they came because of the good reputation of this inn. After all, at such a critical moment as the county examination, the rest assured students who live well will have no worries.

Although the Shen family in Qingcheng County has some status in Qingcheng County, such a well-known big inn will not foolishly use the reputation of its own inn to do bad things for the sake of the little favors given by the Shen family.

So it is very possible that this little boy secretly took advantage of others, and as the shopkeeper of the inn, he didn't know anything about it. But regardless of whether the innkeeper knew about it or not, Shen Chenyu had certification and physical evidence for this matter, and if it really made a big fuss, it would be bad luck for the inn.

Shen Chenyu pointed to the test basket on the side, looked at everyone innocently and said: "When I was in the test room today, I ate steamed buns and water from the inn, and then I suddenly had a stomachache in the test room. Fortunately, I I just took a small sip, otherwise I don't know if something will happen. After all, I paid such an expensive price to live here, and somehow I ate something from the inn and I got a stomachache. I have to figure out whether it is my own problem or the inn So I wanted the second brother to eat the steamed buns in the test basket, but I didn't expect the second brother's reaction to be so fierce, and he kept squinting his throat while shouting "Killer."

Just now the second brother buttoned his throat The group of people who came in could see clearly, and there were crumbs of steamed buns spit out by Xiao Er on the ground, all of which proved what Shen Chenyu said was true.

Like Shen Chenyu, they are all candidates. Candidates are very particular about eating and drinking, and they are worried that a bad stomach will affect the exam.

At this moment, when Shen Chenyu heard that he had eaten the food and water in the inn and had a stomach ache, regardless of whether Shen Chenyu was telling the truth or not, the group of people couldn't help feeling flustered.

Some candidates who were already in poor health couldn't help but think of themselves, and couldn't help questioning them sternly.

"That's right, we paid a lot of money to live here because your inn has a good reputation. Now some people feel uncomfortable after eating the food in the inn, and they just want your little one to try it. This Why did Xiao Er react so violently? Could it be... that your inn poisoned the food?"

As soon as these words came out, the surroundings immediately boiled. A few candidates who were unwell due to the cold suddenly felt even more uncomfortable. In addition, some candidates did not perform well in the exam, so they couldn't help but wonder if they had eaten something unclean, which made them feel dizzy and unable to answer during the exam.

"That's right, I saw very clearly just now that the other party has been slamming his throat, and he himself said... This young man eats steamed buns better than him.

" This Xiao Er's reaction is so big?"

"It's probably because he knew there was something wrong with the steamed buns, that's why he was so scared."

"Brother Wang is right, he definitely knows what's going on inside, otherwise he didn't react like that just now. When people are extremely panicked, they make Your reaction is the most authentic."

Xiao

Er couldn't help but turn paler and paler when she heard the words around her. He sneaked a glance at his shopkeeper, and saw that the shopkeeper's face was getting more and more serious. He quickly pointed to Shen Chenyu and said, "Shopkeeper, this person is here to mess things up. You can't trust the other party's words." The

shopkeeper is obviously a Clever, he already guessed roughly what happened. However, even if he really guessed the truth, in order to preserve the reputation of the inn, he cannot admit it.

Just when the shopkeeper was sweating coldly, thinking about how to confuse the matter, Shen Chenyu said unhurriedly: "Shopkeeper, I know what you are thinking in your heart, it is nothing more than wanting to protect the inn. Fame, I plan to try to coerce and lure me to shut up. But paper can't contain fire, even if you try to make me change my tone today, but there are so many scholars present today, you can't make everyone Keep your mouth shut."

Shen Chenyu paused here, raised her foot and stepped on the hem of Xiaoer who wanted to run away, then continued to look at the shopkeeper's opening and said: "Instead of thinking about how to make me shut up, it is better to fundamentally Solved the problem."

Hearing this, the shopkeeper gritted his teeth, and immediately listened attentively. "Young master, please give me some pointers."

Shen Chenyu pointed to Xiao Er who was kneeling on the ground, "You let him confess the mastermind behind the scenes, and then deal with the other party in public, and promise that such a thing will not happen again. It depends on you Since the inn has the courage to admit its mistakes and is willing to seek justice for the students, it may be possible to restore the reputation of the inn."

"At the same time, what happened in the inn was originally caused by the negligence of your inn. This is already a big hidden danger. Fortunately, I didn't make any mistakes this time. What if...someone poisons the inn in the future? Well, if a farmer like me dies, your inn may be able to secretly bury the truth. But if the identity of the person who caused the accident has a lot of background, then it will not be a matter of the inn's reputation, maybe the entire inn Everyone will have their heads fall to the ground." The

innkeeper was obviously frightened by Shen Chenyu's words, and the students around him were easily aroused, and they all clamored to send Xiao Er to the government, so the innkeeper had to agree to Shen Chenyu's words. Yu explained.

But before the shopkeeper went to interrogate Xiao Er, Xiao Er screamed because of the stomachache. "Shopkeeper, help me, I know I'm wrong, please help me find a doctor..."

Shen Chenyu thought before that there was at most laxative in those steamed buns and water. Seeing the other party like this now, my heart suddenly became colder and colder.

Well, all his previous words were in vain. When it comes to murder, even if the innkeeper wants to hide it, he can't hide it.

The innkeeper was also very frightened when he saw this, he just hesitated for a moment, and asked someone to notify the government directly. In this case, things are beyond his ability. This Shen Chenyu is not a fuel-efficient lamp, even if he wants to do something, it is more difficult.

People from the government came very quickly, and at the same time they brought what they thought was an old doctor and a pharmacist from the government. After confirmation by the old doctor and the pharmacist, a relatively small amount of a highly poisonous arsenic similar to arsenic was found in the steamed buns in Shen Chenyu's basket and the meals on the table.

Although it is highly poisonous, it does not have a fatal effect because it is relatively rare. So even if you take it, you won't die, at most you will feel dizzy and have a stomachache.

But even if no one can die, but due to the heavy punishment in this dynasty, it is very sensitive to poison. Even if Xiaoer confessed to the mastermind behind the scenes, he would still be imprisoned for ten years.

Probably because the other party gave a lot of benefits, or the mastermind behind the scenes controlled his family, but the little girl couldn't confess him in the end.

Shen Chenyu was not disappointed when she saw this. After all, the Shen family in Qingcheng County still has some skills, and he never thought that he could easily bring them down.

Because of this incident, the students in the entire inn were panicked, but they couldn't find another place to live. In order to appease these increasingly irritable students, the government sent three yamen servants to the inn the next day.

Two of the yamen servants are responsible for guarding the back kitchen, and the other yamen servant is guarding the lobby of the inn. If students encounter any problems, they can ask the yamen servants here to help. With the arrival of the three yamen servants, the mood of the group of students stabilized, and the inn was no longer as tense as before.

Although Xiaoer was the one who did the bad thing, it can be said that the inn was implicated. But Xiao Er dared to do such a bad thing, which was also caused by improper management of the inn.

When the results of the first exam were released, the original shopkeeper of the inn was transferred away, and a young man came over to manage it. At the same time, in order to express its apology to Shen Chenyu, the inn not only waived all the accommodation fees for Shen Chenyu, but also gave two hundred taels of silver as compensation.

Shen Chenyu was merciless in taking money, if he hadn't been more vigilant and found something was wrong, he would probably be lying in the hospital by now.

Although the inn waived his accommodation and food expenses, Shen Chenyu didn't dare to eat here after that. It wasn't that he was worried that people in the inn would dare to do harm to him, but that because of his incident, the reputation of the inn had plummeted, and it was inevitable that some people in the inn would spit or something when they were angry.

So in the following days, Shen Chenyu will either go out to eat outside, or eat the food in the space, anyway, she will not eat the food in the inn.

When the list was released today, Chen Youli came to him early in the morning and wanted to go with him to the county government office to read the list. Shen Chenyu tidied up a bit, then left the inn with several senior brothers.

In Shen Chenyu's view, they have come very early, but there are still many people who are earlier than them. Looking at the crowded crowd in front of the red list, Shen Chenyu didn't want to follow them to squeeze forward.

It's a pity that before he could speak, Chen Youli held his hand and walked forward. Since many people came from behind, Shen Chenyu was brought in without being crowded.

At this time, Shen Chenyu was very embarrassed, not only could he not squeeze to the front, but he also couldn't squeeze out from the crowd. He could only get stuck in the crowd with a helpless face, and his whole expression was that of life and love.

In the past, Shen Chenyu thought they were frail scholars, but now she suddenly found that these frail scholars went crazy and it was scary. Today's students are not as polite as usual, and their combat effectiveness is no worse than that of the uncles and aunts who snapped up specials in the future.

Before Shen Chenyu could think about how to get out, Chen Youli, who had already squeezed to the front, shouted. "Brother Yu, Brother Yu, I saw your and my names, both of us are in the top ten."

Shen Chenyu was overjoyed when she heard the words, and greeted Chen Youli randomly, and the two of them hit it off together. Squeeze outside one after the other.

Because some people were squeezing outside, while others were going inside, the scene was very chaotic for a while. If it weren't for Shen Chenyu's better physical fitness now, the situation in front of him would have been too much to bear. When the two finally squeezed out, they all looked messy and disheveled.

There were more than 300 candidates in the county examination, and nearly half of them passed the first round. Among the nine members of Shen Chenyu and his group, only one failed the exam due to poor health, and the remaining eight candidates continued to take the next exam.

On the second day after the results were released, that is, on February 11th, the second round of the county examination started. Because half of the candidates were brushed off at once, it would be faster when the second exam came in.

After Shen Chenyu entered the number room, she found that the number room was not very good this time, and there was a hole in the roof of the number room. Fortunately, it didn't rain, otherwise, it would be a bit difficult to take the exam in such a room without soiling the exam paper.

In the second round, the main exam was Tie Jing and Mo Yi, because the first test was the Tie Sutra, and although half of the second test was Mo Yi, the questions were still relatively easy.

Moyi is a simple question and answer around the meaning and commentary of the scriptures. Probably it is to give a paragraph of the content of the Four Books and Five Classics, and then ask the examinee to answer the meaning expressed in this paragraph.

Generally, such questions have relatively fixed answers. As long as candidates recite seriously on weekdays and be more careful when doing the questions, most of them will not fail to answer.

Of course, this only refers to the majority of people. There are still many people who don't study hard, or even have no talent in reading. Even such a simple question still can't solve it.

After Shen Chenyu finished the test paper this time, she checked it three times as carefully as the previous one, then closed her eyes and began to rest her mind. Today is no better than future generations, he must take good care of his eyes. After someone took the lead to hand in the paper, Shen Chenyu got up and handed in the paper.

Not surprisingly, Shen Chenyu also passed the second round smoothly. Because the scene when watching the list was too tragic, Shen Chenyu only went to watch the second round of the red list in the afternoon. Although there were still many people in the afternoon, it was completely incomparable with the morning.

Dozens of people were drawn down in the second round, and by the time the third round entered, only six of Shen Chenyu and the others were left.

Because of the incident of Xiaoer's poisoning before, Shen Chenyu has been very cautious these few days, just worried that the Shen family in Qingcheng County might have something behind them.

As a result, it is now the third round of the exam, and Shen Chenyu didn't find anything unusual. Just when Shen Chenyu relaxed a little, he suddenly checked the test basket again by mistake.

Shen Chenyu is used to being cautious. Seeing that it was his turn to search him soon, he didn't expect that he just glanced at the test basket casually, and found that there was something extra in the test basket at some point.

Shen Chenyu was frightened into a cold sweat. Since there were several serious-faced government servants in front of him, he quickly put his hand into the test basket, and put the thing into his own space. After he put his things into the space, his test basket was taken away by the servants at the side.

Shen Chenyu's mind went blank for a moment, he kept recalling the previous events, and he didn't remember anyone approaching him at all. This feeling is indescribably terrifying, even if she is as calm as Chen Yu, she can't help shivering.

Seeing him shivering, the yamen servant at the side thought that Shen Chenyu was frozen. The other party said that it would be ready soon, and returned Shen Chenyu's clothes to him.

After finding his own room and sitting down, Shen Chenyu gradually regained his breathing, and then he found that his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

While preparing for the exam, Shen Chenyu distractedly looked at the small note in the space. After seeing the lines of small words on the note clearly, he couldn't help but hammered hard on the table in front of him.

Okay, good job, now our beams are getting bigger. Unless the Shen family in Qingcheng County can really kill him, don't blame him for being cruel.

Shen Chenyu took the test paper and calmed down for a moment, then opened the test paper and scanned the test questions carefully. In the third session, in addition to the basic posting scriptures and ink meanings, there is also a poem describing the scene and arithmetic problems.

The original owner wrote a lot of poems describing the scenery. There is no special requirement for this question, Shen Chenyu can also write a poem according to the rhythm. However, in order to be more on the safe side, Shen Chenyu still chose a poem by the original owner.

The arithmetic problems in the ancient imperial examinations were actually not too difficult. The only difficulty is that the questions are quite convoluted, and the questions go around and talk a lot, but in fact, the test is ordinary addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

At this time, there are already multiplication formulas, but they are different from those of later generations. They all recite them upside down here. This made Shen Chenyu, who has the memory of later generations, feel very uncomfortable for a while.

After leaving the examination room, Shen Chenyu told the brothers about the note. Shen Chenyu was worried that there would be no way to get anything from him, and whether they would get their hands on some of his senior brothers.

After all, there is a cheating system, if other senior brothers are found to be cheating, Shen Chenyu will suffer along with him.

Shen Chenyu didn't say who did it, nor did she mention the Shen family in Qingcheng County to her seniors, she just told them to be careful these few days.

Fortunately, the imperial examination was related to their future, not only did they not feel that Shen Chenyu was being too cautious, but they were very relieved of Shen Chenyu's words.

Shen Chenyu didn't find any problems until the fourth exam started. At this time, Shen Chenyu and the others still have six people, and the remaining six people seem to have a good foundation, and they don't know how many people will be able to pass the final round.

The fourth test was more complicated, and the content was relatively difficult. This time, there are not only posting scriptures, moyi, poems, arithmetic, but also a current affairs policy.

Current affairs policies are policy questions. Examiners will ask policy questions based on current affairs, and let candidates answer based on the Four Books and Five Classics. This kind of question is a bit like a composition question, and the number of words for answering the current affairs policy will be specially stipulated. It cannot exceed this word limit or be too small, and the requirements for candidates' writing skills are relatively high.

Shen Chenyu did well in the first three exams, ranking among the top ten. If there were no accidents in this round, he should also be able to get a good ranking in the exam.

Just as Shen Chenyu was answering the question with confidence, it suddenly rained heavily outside. It stands to reason that spring has not yet entered, and it is rare to encounter such heavy rain in such weather.

Shen Chenyu raised her head and checked the numbered room, making sure that there was no leak in the numbered room this time, then she lowered her head and continued to write.

Probably because of the rainy weather, Shen Chenyu's wrist hurt a little. But at this time, there is no time to care about the pain, Shen Chenyu can only calm down and continue to answer the questions seriously.

It wasn't until he finally finished all the answers that he realized that his wrist was hurting more and more. He reached out and touched the scar on his wrist, his eyes were heavy and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Master Liu said more than once before that the Tongsheng Examination is the easiest test in the imperial examination. The main content of the test is also the foundation of the basics. As long as the students study a little harder on weekdays and write a decent handwriting, there will be no problem.

The original owner laid a good foundation and wrote a good handwriting. In the year since Shen Chenyu came here, she has been working hard like hanging a beam and piercing her buttocks. Shen Chenyu is quite confident about the county test this time.

Especially after taking the test in person, the previous apprehension and uneasiness disappeared. Shen Chenyu found that her mentality was not bad, and the college entrance examination in her previous life was not in vain.

But even if he is confident that he will be on the list, compared with those native scholars, Shen Chenyu still has many shortcomings.

For example, every time he examines a question, the knowledge of future generations will come out first, and his reading speed will be slower than others.

It's okay to be still in the Tongsheng Examination now, but it would be embarrassing for Shen Chenyu to still be like this when it comes to the later provincial or general examinations.

Probably because the last game was more difficult, and everyone came out late in the last game. As soon as Shen Chenyu walked out of the examination room, the voices of Chen Youli and others came from behind him.

Shen Chenyu saw that their faces were not bad, so she knew that the senior brothers should pass the exam this time, otherwise they would not be so calm.

The final exam will not be announced until three days later. I have taken four exams in a row, and I have passed the exam from the eighth day of February to the seventeenth. By the time the final ranking was released, they had already been in Qingcheng County for more than half a month.

Because the sixth day of April is the government examination, it is only one and a half months away from the sixth day of April. In addition, the government examination had to go to Liangzhou Prefecture. According to Master Liu and his senior brothers, if they passed the exam, they would go directly to Liangzhou Prefecture.

That is to say, after the 20th release of the list, as long as they are on the list, they will go directly to Liangzhou Mansion, and they don't even have time to go home to announce the good news.

After Shen Chenyu heard the news, she immediately wrote a letter to her family and asked her senior brother who returned home to help her take it back. It's been so long since he left this time, and he doesn't know what's going on at home now?

Shen Chenyu was studying in the town before, and every time he didn't go back for a long time, Xiaoroubao would feel strange when he saw him again. I don't know if the little boy will have forgotten his father when he tries to go back to his house.

When the final red list came out, Shen Chenyu thought that there would not be too many people watching the list. After all, so many people have been registered one after another before, and there are only a few dozen people who participated in the last exam. No matter how many people will watch the list at that time, it is impossible to be more than the first exam.

But in fact, this time there are more people watching the list than before. Probably seeing Shen Chenyu's doubts, Chen Youli on the side kindly explained his doubts.

"Although there are not many people in the last exam, because the county exam is the most important thing in our county, some ordinary people in the county will come to join in the fun. Some families with scholars in their families will also come to squeeze in the red list. Happy."

Shen Chenyu was a little helpless when she heard the words, it was just a county test, and these ordinary people were even more excited than them. If you wait until the next township examination or palace examination, I don't know how many people will be crazy about it.

"Wait until the township examination or general examination, then the situation will be even more lively. Some families with girls or brothers in their families, maybe there will be a list to catch their son-in-law. Brother Yu, don't go to look at the list when the time comes, or you will be in trouble." Even if Brother Yu has a family with this appearance, those people will definitely not let you go easily."

Shen Chenyu's mouth twitched, so he would not do it in the future when it is hard and dangerous to read the list It's lively. It's not that he is so confident in his appearance, but that he really can't stand such a lively and crowded situation.

Before Shen Chenyu and the others knew their ranking, a candidate squeezed out of the crowd with a little madness. The other party looked quite old, and it was probably not the first time he had come to participate in the Tongsheng Examination. Seeing the other party's nervous smile, Shen Chenyu thought that this person must have failed the exam again, otherwise she wouldn't have shown such an expression.

Sure enough, after squeezing out of the crowd, the other party grabbed an examinee and shook him. While shaking, he didn't forget to ask, "Why, why...why didn't I pass the exam again? Why?" The

one caught by him Candidates are obviously not a good-tempered person. He caught and shook him for no reason, and immediately shoved him away with an angry face.

The examinee shouted angrily: "I also want to know why I didn't pass the exam!"

Yufable Yan

turned out that the pass-by examinee also failed the exam, and now he encountered such a thing and suddenly became very angry. Seeing that the two of them were about to move their hands in the next moment, Shen Chenyu, who was standing aside, quickly pulled Chen Youli, for fear that the two of them going crazy would bring disaster to them.

I have said more than once before that not everyone is suitable for the imperial examination. Some people are not born to study, but because of the reasons of ancient scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, many people want to take this path even if they are not suitable for studying.

Because only the imperial examination is the way to change your family status overnight. In order to change their family status, countless children from poor families suck the blood of the whole family or even the whole clan in exchange for a very precious opportunity to study.

Studying at this time is different from later generations. Later generations have nine years of compulsory education, and they can go to school even if their families are very poor. But reading in this era is a very extravagant and expensive thing.

Because the entire society is backward and productivity is low, a piece of paper, a pen, and a book are all very expensive. In addition to expensive pens, inks, papers and inkstones, there are also expensive bundle repairs, and travel expenses for taking part in the imperial examination later.

Just like the county exam this time, some candidates whose homes are relatively remote have to live in an inn in the county for more than half a month. On weekdays, staying in an inn for one night costs about 50 Wen if it is short, and 100 Wen if it is more expensive. However, due to the large number of people taking the county examination, the accommodation fee at the inn was more than ten times higher than before.

It took more than half a month to live like this, and almost a dozen taels of silver were gone. Ordinary ordinary farmers work hard for a year, and a large family can't make so much money. This still does not include the round-trip travel expenses, and the expenses of eating, drinking, etc. in the county town.

But what is even more frightening is that this is just a small county exam, and there are government exams and hospital exams after the county exam.

These candidates who failed the rankings again and again took the exam again and again year after year. Every time it costs more than ten taels of silver, the money must have been pooled by the whole family, and they must be under extraordinary psychological pressure.

But even so, Shen Chenyu would not sympathize with them. First of all, most of the county exams are basic, and most of them only need to memorize by rote, but they can't even pass such a simple basic, so it is better to give up early to save the burden on the family.

However, not only did they not stop the loss immediately, but they bit the bullet and continued to test again and again. After failing the rankings, they did not reflect on their own problems, but instead treated them unfairly.

Shen Chenyu didn't look at those people too much, but waited until a senior brother who went to see the list came back, and after learning of his and Chen Youli's rankings, the group walked back talking and laughing.

When taking the fourth exam, there were only six of Master Liu's students left. Now that the results of the last list came out, only one of the six people did not make the list.

That person was the youngest among the six, and he himself seemed to have expected that he would fail the exam, so he secretly cleaned up and saluted early in the morning. After learning the news, there was not much surprise on the other party's face, but he looked very calm.

Shen Chenyu and the others sent the other party out of the inn, then went back and began to tidy themselves up and salute. There will be a caravan going to Fucheng tomorrow, and the group of them can just ride in the caravan's carriage.

Master Liu looked at the remaining five people, first told them not to be complacent just because they passed the county examination, and then told them the rules of taking the government examination.

In fact, the government examination is similar to the county examination, and the difficulty of the examination questions is not particularly high. The only thing they care about is that after they arrive in Fucheng, they have to spend a little money to inquire about the prefect's preferences.

This time the chief examiner is the magistrate of Liangzhou Prefecture. Only by knowing what the other party likes and avoids, can he not step on the other party's scales when it comes to poetry and current affairs.

This is very important, just use a metaphor. For example, the magistrate of Qingcheng County, he prefers gorgeous articles, and Shen Chenyu wrote an article that is plain and unpretentious, so his final score in the county examination will not be particularly good.

The main subjects of the imperial examination, in addition to posting scriptures, Mo Yi, and arithmetic, have standard answers. The rest, such as poems, essays, and current affairs policies, are the same as the Chinese composition of later generations, and the marks given by different marking officials are different. Therefore, it is very important for candidates who take part in the imperial examination to find out the preferences of the examiners in the later stage.

This is also the reason why some aristocratic families have an advantage over those from poor families in the imperial examination. Because most of the sons of the aristocratic families have autologous studies, and their wives are also of good background and have complex relationships. They will collect the examination papers of the imperial examinations over the years, as well as the various preferences of the chief examiners of each exam, and then ask students to do different questions according to different chief examiners.

As for the children from poor families, some of them can't even afford a book, let alone collect the imperial examination papers from previous sessions. Under such difficult conditions, the gap between the children of the poor family and the children of the aristocratic family is getting wider and wider. As a result, the number of children from poor families decreased in the later stages of the imperial examination, and the entire court was always in the hands of various families.

Because the court is in the hands of the major families, most of the laws favor the families. Chen Mozi had only committed the crime of theft before, but the theft mainly harmed these aristocratic families, so Chen Mozi's sentencing was so harsh.

At the same time, the power of the aristocratic family is growing, which will relatively threaten the high-ranking emperor. As the Taiping who controls the overall situation, the emperor will find ways to support the children of poor families with relatively simple backgrounds in order to prevent the aristocratic family from touching his interests.

Because the children of the poor family did not have a huge family, they would not be enemies of the emperor for the benefit of their own family, so the poor family became a bargaining chip to contain the family.

...

This time Shen Chenyu did well in the exam, and was the best among the remaining five. He came in third in the last test, just a little bit short of becoming the county's top case.

Chen Youli and the others felt it was a pity, but Master Liu, who knew Shen Chenyu's difficulties, felt that it would be better not to take the county case chief.

After all, Shen Chenyu hadn't passed the county test yet, and the Shen family in Qingcheng County wanted him to die. If Shen Chenyu gets the case this time, the family still doesn't know what to do.

It was also because he was worried that the Shen family in Qingcheng County would be a demon, so Dr. Liu was in such a hurry to leave, because he was worried that staying another day would be more dangerous.

After the other senior brothers left one after another, Master Liu left Shen Chenyu alone to talk with him. "You had two accidents in a row before, but have you ever had a face-to-face meeting with the Shen family?"

Shen Chenyu shook her head when she heard the words, "The Shen family in Qingcheng County has a respectable family, even if they are behind the scenes, they will not show up. After all, I It can be considered that they were raised there, and if they make things public, they will lose face."

After all, no matter how bad the relationship between the two parties is, if others know what they did to their adopted son, it will not only be Shen Chenyu who will be unlucky , the protagonist Gong, as the biggest beneficiary of the incident, will also suffer.

Especially when the original owner was at the Shen family in Qingcheng County, he failed the county examination so many times in a row. But now, not long after Shen Chenyu left Shen's house in Qingcheng County, she got a good third place in the county examination in one breath. Anyone with a discerning eye can know that there must be something dirty in it just by thinking about it.

"Master, don't worry, when they get to Fucheng, they won't be able to reach out."

Mrs. Liu frowned slightly. He was really optimistic about Shen Chenyu, a student. It's a pity that Shen Chenyu met such a bad group of people.

Master Liu thought of the man who was doing business in Fucheng, so he couldn't help but made another point. "Although Fucheng is far away from this family, that Shen Mingxie is in Liangzhou Mansion. The old man heard that the other party is very good at business. If he finds out that you are going to Fucheng to take part in the government examination, there will inevitably be troubles again. "

Fortunately, when you take part in the government examination this time, you and your senior brothers are exactly five people. You don't have to take the risk of forming bonds with other people, and I can remind them to pay more attention at that time, so as not to be framed again Cheating."

Shen Chenyu nodded when she heard the words, a little moved by Master Liu's concern. "Master, don't worry, the student also has some contacts in Fucheng, as long as he really dares to do something, the student can find his own way."

Hearing what Shen Chenyu said, Mrs. Liu knew that Shen Chenyu must have planned a long time ago, and upon seeing this, he asked Shen Chenyu to go back to rest up.

At the same time, the Shen family in Qingcheng County has become a mess.

Ever since Shen Yushi ordered her servants to cause trouble for Shen Chenyu, she didn't pay much attention to this adopted son. Shen Yu knew this adopted son very well. He was spoiled and raised by them since he was a child, and he was a person with very poor mental capacity.

She thought that even if Shen Chenyu escaped by chance, the other party would be able to guess the mastermind of this matter soon. With Shen Chenyu's temper attached to them like before, it is estimated that even if he does not poison him this time, he will be sad and depressed, and then he will not pass the county test in this situation.

So when Shen Yushi got the news that Shen Chenyu had won the third place in the county examination, his expression lost control for a moment. She was stunned for a long time, then suddenly picked up the teacup on the table and threw it out, which made the old man of the Shen family tremble in fright.

Shen Yushi murmured in disbelief: "How is it possible? Just relying on him...how is this possible?"

Shen Yushi was muttering something while pressing the table with his fingernails. A well-maintained face gradually distorted.

When the elder of the Shen family saw the woman in this state, he couldn't help but subconsciously swallowed his saliva, he didn't dare to enter or exit for a while.

"No, no, you can't let him go to Fucheng, you can't let him add trouble to Yan'er, you can't..."

Shen Yushi said so, then ignored the old man of the Shen family and walked out, looking aggressive and looking for someone to settle the score look.

Just as Shen Chenyu guessed, even if the Shen family in Qingcheng County hated him, they couldn't find him directly. But you can't find him in front of you, but you can secretly play tricks behind your back.

But the next day they had just left Qingcheng County, they met a few robbers on the way. Fortunately, they were walking with the caravan. There were not only escorts but also thugs in the caravan. Except for a little fright, they were not injured.

Seeing this, Shen Chenyu breathed a sigh of relief. If these people were injured because of him, he would definitely feel guilty in the future.

Because they met someone who robbed the road not far away, the caravan was very cautious along the way afterwards. Although walking slowly like this will delay a lot of time, everyone has no complaints for safety reasons. After all, compared with the safety of one's own life, delaying a little time is nothing at all.

When Shen Chenyu and the others were slowly heading towards Fucheng, the senior brothers who had failed the ranking had already returned to the town. The weather on this day was not bad. A man named Lin Chengmo came to Xiling Village in a rickety bullock cart with Shen Chenyu's family letter.

When he slowly inquired about Shen Chenyu's house, and then wandered slowly to the other's house, Shen Liushi was tidying up the flower field in the yard.

Since those flowers and plants were moved away, this flower field was divided into half by Mrs. Shen Liu to plant vegetables. Now it is the season of growing vegetables, and there are green vegetables in the whole flower field.

Lin Chengmo just arrived at the door of Shen's second room, and the two puppies that Shen's raised before rushed out aggressively one after the other. The puppy grows really fast, it hasn't been long, and it has grown up twice in the blink of an eye. The ferocious appearance of each of them baring their teeth is really a bit shocking.

Lin Chengmo was taken aback by this scene, and while stepping back, he shouted to the yard: "Hey? Is there anyone at home? Xiaosheng Lin Chengmo is Shen Chenyu's classmate and friend..."

Lin Chengmo is always polite on weekdays Yes, I care about my own image the most. But now that he was frightened by the two dogs, he couldn't care less about his dignity.

The Shen Liu family was in the yard, and came out when they heard the movement outside, just in time to see the scene of Lin Chengmo being frightened. Shen Liu hurriedly called out to the dogs, and when the two dogs had returned to the yard, she opened her mouth with a face of embarrassment.

"I'm really sorry. The two puppies at home are a bit fierce. Are you okay, little brother?"

Lin Chengmo hurriedly waved his hands when he heard the words. He looked at Shen Liushi's and Shen Chenyu's faces, and thought to himself Seeing that this person should be Shen Chenyu's mother, he quickly explained his intentions for coming here.

As soon as she heard that the other party brought them a letter from home, Shen Liushi couldn't hide the joy on her face. Shen Chenyu has been away for such a long time, and Shen Liushi has always missed him in his heart.

Originally, Mrs. Shen Liu wanted to invite him into the house to have a rest, but Lin Chengmo was scared by the dogs of the second bedroom of Shen's family. In addition, Mrs. Shen Liu's family was either a widow or a young husband. A strange man like him should not go in for comparison. it is good.

Shen Liu also understood his concerns, so instead of forcing him to stay, he sent him out of the village with a look of guilt.

Now is the time for spring plowing, and most of the villagers in Xiling Village are working in the fields. Seeing Shen Liushi sending a person out of the village from a distance, some people couldn't help but craned their necks curiously.

Lin Chengmo was dressed as a scholar, and everyone vaguely guessed the identity of the other party. It should be Shen Chenyu who participated in the county examination. There is news.

So when Shen Liushi sent people away, several women who had a good relationship with Shen Liushi asked Shen Liushi curiously.

"Caixiang, is there any news from your brother Yu?"

"Yes, yes, I think that person just now seems to be a scholar. Did our brother Yu pass the county test this time, otherwise why hasn't he come back now? Huh?"

Shen Liushi shook her head when she heard the words, Lin Chengmo didn't look at the final red list, so she didn't know if Shen Chenyu passed in the end. But she has a letter from Shen Chenyu in her hand, and it is estimated that there will be answers she wants to know in the letter.

What made Shen Liushi a headache was that Shen Liushi didn't know many characters, and Mu Linting, who was literate, was blind, so she still had to find someone who could read letters to help her.

Shen Liushi hesitated for a moment, then turned around and went directly to Uncle Shen's house. With her temperament, she is unwilling to come here. Even if the relationship between the two families is good now, she still can't get along with Uncle Shen's family normally. This time, if it wasn't for the letter from the family, Mrs. Shen Liu wouldn't have taken the initiative to come to the old house.

When Shen Liushi came to Uncle Shen's house, the uncle who was sitting in the yard holding the soles of her shoes was stunned for a moment, and then called Shen Liushi to come in and talk.

Shen Liushi asked as she walked into the yard: "Ah, are you at home today?"

As soon as the auntie heard her words, she knew that the other party had something to do with the Shen family. It's a pity that the other party didn't come by such a coincidence, the Shen family had just been called away by members of the clan.

Seeing this, Shen Liushi could only turn to ask if Uncle Shen was there, and by the way, explained the reason for coming here. Her sister-in-law is narrow-minded, if she doesn't make things clear in advance, she will definitely not be able to help thinking about it given her temperament. "The child's father is not here. He ran to the field just now, and he probably won't come back for a while. If the siblings

don't mind, let my family, A Yao, take a look at it for you?"

He has studied in the school in the village for a year. Although he can't say that he knows every word, he still knows most of the words.

Shen Liushi was thinking about the vegetable garden at home, so she nodded when she heard the words, and handed the letter in her arms to the other party.

The auntie was a little excited when she saw this, and while carefully opening the letter, she turned her head and shouted into the room. "Ah Yao, come out quickly, come out quickly!"

Shen Jiayao was putting on makeup in the room, when he heard a voice responding, he walked outside in a leisurely manner. As a result, he hadn't walked out of the room when he saw his mother rushing over anxiously.

Shen Jiayao was taken aback by the other party, before he could ask her what's the matter, his mother said anxiously: "Quickly, read the letter for your second aunt."

Read the letter? which letter?

Before Shen Jiayao understood what was going on, his mother stuffed a letter into his hand. He quickly scanned the contents of the letter, and only then did he understand what the situation was like now.

Shen Chenyu's letter was well written, and he didn't know many words on it. In order not to let people find out that he didn't know many characters, Shen Jiayao didn't hold the letter and read every word, but roughly explained the content of the letter to Shen Liushi.

"Ahem, my cousin said in the letter that if he passes the last county examination, he will go directly to Fucheng with Master and the others. Because they will take the government examination in April, so they don't have time to come back and talk to everyone Announcement. I also said... don't worry at home, he will bring you gifts when he comes back."

Shen Jiayao couldn't help feeling a little sour as he spoke. Especially when he saw the last sentence, which was obviously meant for Mu Linting, Shen Jiayao was too embarrassed to say it for the other party.

Shen Liushi breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, but at the same time couldn't help but feel happy for Shen Chenyu. She was actually quite worried about Shen Chenyu before, but now that she heard that the other party's county test was likely to pass, and now she is probably on her way to Fucheng, Shen Liushi felt that Shen Chenyu's previous efforts were not in vain.

After sending Shen Liushi away, Shen Jiayao couldn't help curling her lips and said, "My cousin has a really strange mind. There are so many good women and good brothers who don't want it. Why did he fall in love with such an ugly brother?" Son? He usually looks very smart, why would he be stupid in this kind of thing." The

auntie was startled when she heard this, and hurriedly lowered her voice to stop: "What nonsense are you talking about? Be careful that your grandma will overhear you. , I'll break your leg when the time comes."

Shen Jiayao's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and she hurriedly glanced at grandma's room secretly, and swallowed back the words that came to her lips.

At the same time, on the other side, Shen Liu quickly returned home, and then told Mu Linting about the letter. After listening to her words, Mu Linting responded, then silently lowered his head and continued to work.

Seeing his silent appearance, Shen Liushi couldn't help sighing slightly in her heart. Ever since she ran into Shen Chenyu getting close to him, every time Shen Liushi got along with Mu Linting, she always felt a little embarrassed in her heart.

In addition, Mu Linting has a taciturn personality. If Shen Liushi hadn't gotten to know him a little bit, she would probably have thought that he was deliberately ignoring her. Fortunately, Shen Liushi has a good temper, no matter how the two of them get together, they won't get into trouble.

When Shen Liushi entered the house with the letter, Mu Linting paused in chopping firewood, feeling a little lost in his heart for no reason. The other party specially sent a letter home, don't you have anything to say to him?

Mu Linting, who was thinking like this, pursed his lips tightly, and suddenly split the firewood in front of him with force. Because he used a little bit of strength, the wooden blocks under the firewood were all split.

...

Shen Chenyu was lying on the carriage drowsy, but for some reason, she shivered suddenly, and suddenly woke up from the daze.

Chen Youli, who was sitting next to Shen Chenyu, quickly reached out and patted Shen Chenyu's shoulder, and asked worriedly: "What's wrong with you? Have you had a nightmare?"

Shen Chenyu shook his head subconsciously, and after shaking, he couldn't help but nodded again, making Chen Youli and the others look helpless. Shen Chenyu doesn't know what's wrong with her, it's just... suddenly she seems to be frightened by something.

After Shen Chenyu woke up, she couldn't fall asleep. He opened the curtain on the side and looked outside, only to find that it was raining again for some reason.

The spring rain is as thin as a cow's hair, and it is floating in the air, adding a touch of haze to the surrounding inexplicably. Especially under such a gray sky, everything in front of me doesn't look very real.

Seeing this situation, a senior brother at the side couldn't help shaking his head and recited the poem. The poem he recited was the work of a contemporary master, and it really has a bit of elegance when matched with the scenery at this time.

In the evening, the rain outside became heavier and heavier, and the caravan had to find a place to hide from the rain. However, there was no place to stay in the surrounding area. The people in the caravan searched around for a long time, and finally found a dilapidated temple when it was dark.

As soon as Shen Chenyu saw such a dilapidated temple, she couldn't help but think of some stories in the scriptures. Since most of the writers of story books in this era are down-and-out scholars from poor families, the protagonists of most stories are also scholars.

For example, in order to avoid the rain, a scholar stayed overnight in a dilapidated temple, and was followed by a beautiful female ghost. For example, a down-and-out scholar accidentally saves someone, but the other party is actually a certain princess or noble daughter. Another example is that a scholar meets an ascetic monk, accidentally drinks the drink given by the other party, and then dreams back to a hundred years later, etc. overnight.

Shen Chenyu was thinking wildly while holding the bookcase and followed the large army into the temple. After they finally cleaned up, a group of people had already started a simple meal around the fire.

There is a lot of food in Shen Chenyu's space. When he knew that he was going directly to Fucheng, he specially prepared a lot of food for himself. But now that everyone is sitting together, it is inconvenient for him to just take it out and eat it like this, so he can only eat dry steamed buns in cold water with everyone.

They paid to follow the caravan, so they didn't have to watch the night when they were resting at night. Naturally, two people in the caravan would stay on watch. So Shen Chenyu yawned slightly, and packed out a clean and comfortable haystack to rest.

Just when Shen Chenyu was half asleep and half awake, Shen Chenyu woke up again with a shiver. Shen Chenyu thought that he had caught a cold, and when he was thinking of making a pack of cold medicine to drink, he vaguely heard someone whispering outside the temple.

Shen Chenyu glanced at the temple strangely, seeing that the two guards were not there, and he didn't know what kind of strange psychology he was in, so he couldn't help but took two steps outside cautiously.

Just when Shen Chenyu took the third step, he heard a woman's low and weak voice. "Masters, the little girl is really not a bad person, she just wants to go to the temple to hide from the rain when she encounters heavy rain on her way."

No, a woman's voice?

In the middle of the night, and in the wilderness, how could there be a woman?

Shen Chenyu was still thinking about the storybook before, when she suddenly heard a woman's voice in the middle of the night, she subconsciously felt that she had met a ghost. Otherwise, which girl would have the courage to come to a temple in the wilderness at such a time?
