Li Xing's blind grandmother and a pair of younger siblings all knelt on the ground.
"Brother Chao, just accept our Li Xing. Even if he dies, I won't blame you!"
As she said that, the old lady started kowtowing directly. Beside her, her granddaughter who was less than ten years old and her grandson who was just five years old also started kowtowing together!
Seeing this scene, before Yun Chao could say anything, the villagers began to persuade him:
"Brother Chao, just give Li Xing a chance. Their whole family really can't survive!"
"Yes, brother Chao, Li Xing and his family are in trouble, and they have incurred several taels of foreign debt. If you don't accept him, their whole family will be doomed!"
"..."
You said something to me, and although it was a bit confusing, Yun Chao still roughly understood the current situation of Li Xing's family.
In the past, I only knew that Li Xing's family was poor, but I didn't know that they were so poor. It seems that they can't survive this winter.
"this……"
Yun Chao hesitated. Although the rules cannot be broken, now is the time to establish a character. If he watched the entire Li family starve to death, not to mention that it did not fit Yun Chao's character, even Yun Chao himself would not be able to bear it.
Yun Chao also came from a poor family in his previous life. Although his family was not starved to death, he could still sympathize with the suffering of the poor.
What makes Yun Chao even more incredible is that many of the villagers who were supposed to be in a competitive relationship actually interceded for Li Xing. If he really accepted Li Xing, wouldn't he have taken up a quota that should have belonged to them?
In the end, after weighing the pros and cons, Yun Chao made a decision to give Li Xing a chance to participate in the assessment. If he failed to win, everything would be over.
There are so many poor people in the world, how can Yun Chao be so pitiful?
Besides, even if Yun Chao wants to do good things, there are other ways, such as quietly lending the Li family some food so that they can survive this winter.
Don't think it's awkward to borrow. These days, the only people who can lend you food are either benefactors or landlord bullies who are concerned about your family's property.
Recruiting subordinates is one of Yunchao's most important tasks at this stage, and cannot be confused with charity.
As soon as he heard that Yun Chao was willing to give him a chance, Li Xing immediately kowtowed three times and swore to the sky that as long as Yun Chao gave him a chance, he would have no complaints even if he was not chosen!
Li Xing's blind grandma also kowtows repeatedly, and her two younger siblings follow suit and kowtow to Yun Chao non-stop!
Yun Chao's scalp was numb from being kowtowed by the Li family: "Okay, okay, everyone, get up quickly. If anyone kowtows again, I will cancel Li Xing's assessment quota!"
…
After this incident, Yun Chao became more careful and asked Shitou and the others to take a closer look to see if anyone who did not meet the requirements had sneaked in.
They didn't use the stone to look at it, and there was a Li Xing. The other villagers had already looked at it.
After all, many people's children have to be assessed, and we don't want to have more competitors.
Of course, Li Xing is an exception. This is a special situation. Although the villagers each have their own small thoughts, they are still simple in the face of big rights and wrongs.
This is also one of the reasons why Yun Chao is willing to lead his men to become well-off, and it is also an important reason. No one wants to cultivate a bunch of selfish white-eyed wolves.
After confirming that all the remaining boys met the requirements, the formal assessment began.
Before the assessment, Yunchao's first requirement was to line up.
The people participating in the assessment line up in a row, and no one is allowed to mess up. If they do, they will be kicked out!
Things like rules must be established from the beginning.
People in Wolong Village don't have the habit of queuing up. I pushed and pushed for a while before I finally managed to line up, but it was still skewed.
The first assessment was beyond everyone's expectations.
Yun Chao asked Shitou to set up a sign in the open space. On the sign was a piece of white paper with large and small circles drawn on it, many with a hole missing.
Then, Yun Chao asked the examiner to stand five meters away, cover one eye, and use one eye to look at the direction of the gaps in the circles on the white paper.
Although no one had ever seen this new thing, they quickly understood what Yun Chao wanted to do, which was to see if there was anything wrong with everyone's eyes.
Li Xing was relatively far back in the queue. As he watched the candidates in front of him get their eyesight checked, he felt very nervous. He couldn't lose. I must not lose!
The team moved forward very quickly. There were no TVs or mobile phones in Wolong Village. No one had even read a book. Their eyesight was generally good, and almost no one was nearsighted.
As for night blindness caused by lack of vitamin A, it has nothing to do with myopia. It generally does not affect vision during the day.
However, when it was Li Xing's turn, he was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
No matter how hard he tried to open his eyes, he couldn't clearly see the direction of the bottom row of circular gaps.
When Zhang Sihai called for the next one, Li Xing's legs had already started to tremble. It was over. He couldn't see everything clearly. He definitely couldn't choose!
Li Xing was desperate and thought he would definitely lose the election.
Unexpectedly, only one person was eliminated in the end, and he miraculously passed the test!
The one who was eliminated was a young man named Wen Jialiang. Because his pupils were a little blue, he was nicknamed Big Blue Eyes.
If it weren't for a visual acuity test, others wouldn't know that he couldn't see clearly in one eye.
Yun Chao called Wen Jialiang to him and looked into his eyes carefully.
Although he was not a medical student, Yun Chao still had a rough idea of what was going on with Wen Jialiang's eyes.
If the guess is correct, the Wen family suffered from glaucoma.
In her previous life, Yun Chao's grandmother suffered from senile glaucoma, but it was later cured by surgery.
At that time, Yun Chao remembered clearly that the doctor told these family members that it was best to undergo surgery for glaucoma, otherwise it would probably get worse and worse until complete blindness.
Wen Jialiang contracted this disease at a young age. It was probably congenital and he might be blind in the future. It was really pitiful.
Why……
Yun Chao could only shake his head helplessly. Not to mention that he was not a doctor, even if he was a doctor, performing eye surgery under such backward conditions as the Dawu Dynasty made people feel unreliable just thinking about it.
Poor child, I hope the Wu Dynasty's technology can develop before you lose your sight.
Put aside the Wen Jialiang matter for the time being and move on to the next test.
running.
Yun Chao asked Shi Shi to take the lead, and Jia Mancang stepped back and led everyone to run around the village.
Zhang Sihai and Luo Zhiyuan were not idle either, following behind to count the stragglers.
Before running away, Yun Chao told Shi Shi not to run so fast, otherwise most people would not be able to keep up with him at his speed.
The villagers did not expect that Yun Chao could really test running. Many people began to regret that if they had known that Yun Chao was serious, they would have listened to him and let their children eat before coming.
Yun Chao didn't care if everyone was prepared. Since he had warned him in advance, if he didn't prepare well, he would be disobedient.
For those who are disobedient, they will be eliminated if they are eliminated. There is no pity.
Li Xing ran in the middle of the team.
It's not that he has any tactics, it's just that he can't run that fast!
