Jia Yujing of Red Mansion

Chapter 98 A Nightmare

In the court hall, Governor Zhu was drinking tea, and the officer who had just handed out papers to Jia Qiong hurried in to report.

"Lord Zhongcheng, when I was just giving out papers, I saw that Jia Qiong was assigned to the Hongzihao hut, and the position was close to the toilet in the northwest corner."

After hearing this, Governor Zhu nodded and said, "I understand, you can go down."

After the officer left, Governor Zhu pondered for a moment, then called a soldier commander and said: "Go and replace the patrolling soldiers named Hong.

I told you to go ahead and take good care of her so that there won't be any problems. "

"Yes!"

The change of patrol soldiers did not attract Jia Qiong's attention. He was busy writing and wanted to write more while the smell was low.

In August, the autumn tiger is still raging and the weather is still extremely hot.

Sitting in the small examination room, he was sweating profusely after a while.

Many candidates took off their clothes and took the questions directly. Jia Qiong also took off her shirt and only wore pants to answer the questions.

The heat is not the most unbearable thing. As time goes by, more and more people go to the toilet under the surveillance of the soldiers, and the power of the "stinky whistle" begins to show.

Waves of stench came overwhelmingly, and the smell of the sachet was completely overwhelming. It gave people a headache.

Some of the candidates around started to complain, but they were quickly stopped by the soldiers and stopped making any noise.

Even though Jia Qiong prides himself on having strong willpower, it would be difficult for him to concentrate on the questions in this environment.

He could only try to breathe through his mouth and try his best to devote his attention to the problem.

On the first day, there was only half a day to do the questions. In addition to finishing the most important first question, Jia Qiong had just finished half of the second question.

The smell of the toilet really affected his performance. Normally, he would have finished writing two questions.

At night, there was a rumble of thunder in the sky, followed by strong winds.

Jia Qiong secretly cursed God for his evil intentions, quickly folded the paper, put it away, and wrapped it in oilcloth.

Even if the roof of this straw shed with air leakage is re-paved with tarpaulin, it will inevitably rain when the wind blows.

After a while, heavy rain poured down, crackling on the oilcloth on the top of the trumpet, and from time to time, a strong wind would blow a piece of rainwater in.

If Jia Qiong had not put away the paper in advance, it would have been wet by the rain.

Once the ink is smeared, it becomes a dirty paper and will be immediately dismissed by the marking officer.

Seeing that the rain would not stop for a while, Jia Qiong simply started cooking, heating up the pancakes and eating pickles.

After eating, I laid the number board flat and went to sleep.

Listening to the patter of rain, as well as the shouts of candidates and the curses of soldiers from time to time, Jia Qiong slowly fell asleep.

Late at night, the rain became heavier, and Jia Qiong woke up in a daze.

Suddenly I saw a dark figure standing in front of my window, reaching for the paper wrapped in oilcloth.

Jia Qiong was suddenly startled, shouted "Stop!", stood up and grabbed the man's arm.

Unexpectedly, the man moved very quickly and took the paper away first.

At this time, a bolt of lightning flashed across, and Jia Qiong saw that the man was wearing soldier's clothes.

Jia Qiong said angrily: "What are you going to do!"

The soldier didn't reply and just opened the oilcloth. Jia Qiong's paper was immediately soaked by the rain.

Jia Qiong was furious and rushed to the window. Unexpectedly, the soldier suddenly pulled out a knife and stabbed Jia Qiong.

"what!…"

Jia Qiong suddenly woke up and realized that he had had a nightmare.The rain had stopped by now, and the dim moonlight shone through the curtains.

He looked at the window with lingering fear, and saw that the paper was still there, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

This dream frightened him into a cold sweat. The weather in August was still very hot during the day, but the temperature dropped sharply at night due to a heavy rain.

Although Jia Qiong is now in very good physical condition, he is still afraid that catching a cold will affect his exam, so he quickly takes out dry clothes from his bag and changes into them.

Jia Qiong was no longer sleepy at this moment, taking advantage of the cool weather and quiet surroundings.

He rolled up the door curtain, lit a candle, and began to answer questions under the moonlight.

At this moment, his mind was clear and his writing was flying. He finished three articles in a row in a short time.

At dawn, light rain fell from the sky again. Fortunately, there was no wind this time.

Jia Qiong was afraid that the weather would get bad again later, so he ate something and continued to work on the questions. He wanted to finish all nine questions as soon as possible.

There are some advantages to a rainy day. In addition to the cool weather, the smell of the toilet is also filtered by the rain, making the air much fresher.

Jia Qiong took advantage of this good opportunity and raced against time to answer the questions without even eating, and finally finished all nine questions before dark.

Although he was very tired, he still lit a candle and carefully copied the paper in regular script.

Now that the rain is getting heavier, his test shed has begun to accumulate water. Who knows what problems may arise later.

If the wind picks up again, it won't be possible to copy, so the sooner it's done, the better.

Jia Qiong raced against time and finally finished it all before midnight. She wrapped the papers carefully and felt relieved.

He was sleepy and hungry now, so he ate something casually, put the paper in his hand and fell asleep.

Jia Qiong was very happy for his decision. The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Although there was no strong wind, the roof of the shed still started to seep water, dripping.

Although it is not serious, it is impossible to write papers in this environment.

As soon as the day breaks, there are many candidates who have handed in their papers. These people have not finished answering, but there is no need to continue.

Jia Qiong also handed in the paper. He had already finished answering the questions. It would be useless to stay any longer. He might as well go home and have a good rest and recharge his batteries for the next game.

Calling the soldiers to open the number room and handing the papers to the examiner, Jia Qiong held an umbrella and left the examination basket.

Many people saw Jia Qiong handing in papers so early and thought he had given up.

Some felt sorry for him, while others were secretly surprised, thinking that they lost a powerful enemy.

Because of the bad weather, the family was also very worried, so they asked Tian Li to guard the gate of Gongyuan early in the morning.

As soon as he saw Jia Qiong coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward to take the test basket and asked carefully: "Second Master, how did you do in the test?
I saw that many people came out crying just now, saying that the weather was too bad this time.

If you put on the rain number and dirty the paper, you will definitely not win. "

Jia Qiong said: "It was indeed a little rough this time, but I was okay. I finally finished the answer successfully. The rest is up to the marking officer."

Tian Li breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "With Erye's ability, if you answer the question successfully, you will definitely pass the exam.

Please go back quickly to make sure your family is safe. My aunt and madam are very worried this time. "

When Jia Qiong returned home, he did not say that he had caught up with "Stinky Hao" and "Rain Hao".

He only said that his room number was fine and he finished the answer smoothly. Wang Yuyan and the others were relieved after hearing this.

The weather in the past two days has been too bad, and they have been worried.

After eating, Jia Qiong went back to his room to sleep. He didn't sleep much in the past two nights, so he had to catch up on his sleep. There were still two exams to take.
