Thrown Into the Wolf’s Den! Zaizai Holds Space In His Hands To Survive the Disaster Year

The little guy's voice was waxy, and the goose-yellow fluff in his black hair swayed slightly in the wind.

 “What money?” she asked in a low voice, “Are you asking me for a bribe?”

The book boy suddenly became angry and slapped the table angrily: "What are you talking about? Don't you know the rules? The Chinese Academy of Chinese Studies has exams all day and all night. If you don't give me money, how can we send you meals?"

 “If you don’t need a meal, just go in.”

 Shen Ningning was stunned, distress filling her watery eyes.

　　　Crazy scholar had reminded her that she needed to buy food, and she thought she could bring food in.

 So, when I came out, I asked Grandma Qin to make a lot of food and store it in the fairyland.

She never thought that buying food meant giving money.

 “I...I didn’t bring it.” The little guy was a little helpless.

 The students lining up around to watch the excitement made snickering sounds.

　　The book boy said angrily: "Then you can just go in without eating. You are hungry anyway."

Lu Shaoyuan, who was registering at the side, came over upon seeing this.

Suddenly, a plain hand handed over a silver bag: "I'll give it to her, it's just a trivial matter, why do you need to be so cruel?"

Shen Ningning looked up and saw that it was the young lady she gave way to that day.

 Thanks to Yuanjiu for paying the money, the scholar let Shen Ningning in.

 People around could not help but whisper—

“Miss Xie Si is worthy of being a lady, she is so kind.”

"Yeah, if it were me, I wouldn't give up. Isn't it common sense to pay for food? Do you still want to eat and drink for free?"

Shen Ningning made a special trip to wait at the door and saw Xie Yuanjiu registering to come in.

The little guy hurriedly walked over: "Thank you for helping me out. How much money did you give me just now? I will get it back to you after I finish the exam."

Xie Yuanjiu smiled warmly: "It's just a small matter, I didn't look carefully at how much it cost, so don't take it to heart."

“Last time you let me go first on the float, I still remember this favor, so you don’t have to return it to me.”

The nurse next to me urged: "Don't stand there chatting. The exam time is coming soon. Please find your cubicle according to the number!"

Shen Ningning had no choice but to thank her again and again, and sat in the Lu Shisi compartment according to the number she got.

 The Chinese Academy of Sciences has already prepared pens and paper and placed them on the small table.

Shen Ningning sat down and thought, the Xie family are all good people!

Uncle Prime Minister and brother are so kind, and the young lady from the Xie family even came to her rescue.

 After a while, the exam begins.

The exams at the Chinese Academy of Sciences are very strict. There are a total of 230 temporary cubicles in the huge courtyard.

There are barriers on both sides of each person, so you can’t see who is next to you.

There were eight Confucius examiners patrolling back and forth, and the Minister of Rites and two civil servants came to supervise the examination.

 At this time, in the kitchen of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, meals were being registered according to the money given by everyone.

　　When he opened the silver bag with Shen Ningning's name on it, the kitchen steward was stunned.

"Just two copper coins, two pennies? He doesn't even have enough water to drink. What's wrong with this guy!" He suddenly became angry.

 How come there are still students who are so playful? The money bag looked quite big, but it only had two pennies, which was not even enough to send the beggar away.

 The cook next to him was surprised: "What should we do? We have given the money, but we have to give away food."

The steward said angrily: "The last leftovers will be sent away cold."

 In short, do you want to eat well? No!

 In the examination room, Shen Ningning was already writing like a god.

The crazy scholar gave her a topic, saying that this year’s exam topic for the Chinese Academy of Sciences must be for students to briefly describe how the Cangyun Kingdom resettled the people who suffered from the disaster after the drought.

He really got it right. Shen Ningning has discussed this topic countless times, so now it is easy to grasp, and it is not difficult to write it.

A civil servant invigilated the exam, passing by outside with a majestic look and his hands clasped behind his back.

Sitting next to Shen Ningning was Xie Yuanjiu. When she raised her head slightly, she made eye contact with the civil proctor.

 Xie Yuanjiu used his second wife’s money to bribe this invigilator.

  She does not want to cheat, but she wants to fundamentally reduce her opponents.

Because she had long heard that six talented candidates from the capital would come to participate. If Xie Yuanjiu wanted to get first place, their answer sheets would have to be compromised.

 The morning has passed, and she wants the invigilator to burn half of the cabinet where the answer sheets are stored after collecting the papers in the evening.

There have been fire accidents in the past exams at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but the overly strict teachers decided that candidates whose answer sheets were burned could not retake the exam.

 Because in Master's eyes, fire is also a celestial sign, which means that this group of candidates will have no luck in the exam this year, so it is another way of failing. This is what Xie Yuanjiu came up with.

As long as half of the answer sheets are destroyed, she will have more chances to compete for first place.

 At noon, meals began to be distributed.

Shen Ningning has been writing non-stop for an hour and a half, and she is already hungry.

However, she looked forward to it and watched the cook who delivered the meal pass her several times carrying a tray without stopping.

 The little guy was puzzled.

 Miss Xie’s family gave her money, why is there no food for her?

　　After everyone else's meals were finished, a cook brought over a pile of meals with a dark face.

"Eat!" She put it down hard, and the oil splashed almost stained Shen Ningning's answer sheet.

 Fortunately, the little guy had quick eyesight and quick hands, so he hurriedly picked up the half-written answer sheet.

 Before she could express her anger, she smelled something bad.

Shen Ningning's eyes widened as she looked at the food brought by the cook.

There was only one plate. The rice soup was yellow, with a few green vegetables floating on it and two pieces of black meat.

 Can’t eat it at all!

Shen Ningning bit her lip, why did the Chinese Academy of Sciences go so far and didn't even check the meals given to the students?

 This rice is so rancid that we can’t eat it.

The little guy had no choice but to put the rotten rice on the ground because he was so hungry.

 She took advantage of the fact that the invigilator did not come and took out the delicacies prepared by her grandma for her from the fairyland.

 Braised fish fillet, served with a pile of green vegetables.

 The fish fillets were sliced ​​bit by bit by Grandma Qin with extremely skillful knife skills.

Thin as cicada wings, covered with reddish-brown sauce, spread on rice and take a bite, the fragrance is fragrant.

 After eating, Shen Ningning took out another cup of almond sweet milk.

 The milk is the freshest bought in the town. It is boiled with sugar and then sifted, leaving only the rich milk.

 Add the ground almonds and turn up the heat to create a layer of white sugar and yellow milk crumbs at the bottom.

 Take a sip of milk and then bite into the crispy yellow milk crumbs. The rich aroma of almonds spreads between your lips and teeth.

 The little guy had enough to eat and drink, and put all the dishes back into the fairyland.

Immediately afterwards, she was more motivated than before. She dropped the brush, and after a while, the entire paper was covered with neat handwriting.

At the end of the evening, the chief invigilator, the Minister of Rites, took a look at the incense that was about to burn out and announced: "Now you can hand in the paper. The answer sheet must be handed in within one stick of incense at the latest, otherwise it will be considered as abandonment of the exam."

 The book boys passed on the news, and many candidates who had prepared submitted their answer sheets.

Xie Yuanjiu left it until the end to submit it, because she knew that the book boy would divide the collected answer sheets into portions and send them to the cabinet.

 And there will be a small fire in the cabinet, and in order to avoid her answer sheet being destroyed, she has to wait until the end.

In the cubicle next to Xie Yuanjiu, Shen Ningning has not yet handed in her paper.

The little guy had finished writing a long time ago, and when he was about to hand it in, a fat little bird flew out of nowhere.

 Jumping up and down on her table, eating the yellow milk dregs she dropped earlier.

“Little bird, are you hungry? I’ll give you some cake!” Shen Ningning saw that there was still some time, so she whispered and took out a piece of red bean cake from the fairyland.

　　Put it on the table, and the fat bird with a yellow tail will scamper to the plate and feast.

Shen Ningning smiled sweetly, and the candlelight on the table reflected her innocent and lovely smile.

At this time, the little bird raised its head and flapped its wings gently: "Chirp, chirp~"

Shen Ningning was stunned for a moment, suspecting that she heard wrongly.

The little bird actually said that the cabinet on the west side was on fire, so it couldn't go to the yard over there to eat fruit.

Shen Ningning was surprised. When she came in, she heard the invigilator tell her the rules and that all answer sheets would be deposited in the cabinet.

 The bird flew away after eating.

 Seeing that the time was coming, Shen Ningning hurriedly went to hand in the paper.

The little guy hesitated for a moment after walking up to the Minister of Rites and handing over the answer sheet.

He still said: "Sir, I seem to smell a burning smell. Is there water leakage somewhere?"

 Whether what Xiaoniao said is true or not, she should say it.

It is better if it is fake. If it is true, if the fire is put out in time, many people's answers can be saved.

The Master of the Ministry of Rites was stunned when he heard this. He cautiously called the guardian: "Quickly go and inspect the surroundings to see if there is any leakage!"
