In this way, Chunxu searched for clues for a day, but found nothing.
In the evening, I watched Zi Yuan feel a little restless, always insisting on the scene he saw.
After seeing Chunxu on the side, he said, "Since you didn't find anything today, don't think too much about it. Take the exam with peace of mind. Are you the only one who discovered it with so many people taking the exam?"
After Chunxu said this, the doubtful thoughts in Ziyuan's heart dropped a bit.
The next day, just like last time, half an hour after the watch, there were candidates heading towards Gongyuan with a lantern in one hand and a pen, ink and inkstone in the other.
Although he was the youngest among these candidates, Ziyuan did not go to bed later than them because of his young age. When he saw some candidates heading towards Gongyuan, he got out of bed, packed his things and headed towards Gongyuan together. Go in the direction.
Although he is not Ziyuan's father, Chunxu's appearance is better than that of a father.
Seeing Zi Yuan wake up, although he didn't get up, Zi Yuan refused to let him go. He squinted at Zi Yuan packing things to see if there was anything he missed.
Judging from the two times, Ziyuan is still a relatively careful and serious person, and he did not miss anything in both times.
Like those candidates, Ziyuan held a lantern in his little hand and walked among the crowd of candidates. The red lantern illuminated his face.
"Ziyuan!"
After a familiar shout, Zi Yuan stopped for a moment and looked behind him. He saw a person taller than himself rushing over. However, there was no light where he was walking, so it was difficult for Zi Yuan to confirm who it was. .
I saw the figure walking closer and closer. When I walked to Ziyuan's side, I still couldn't see his face clearly. Maybe it was because he worked too much.
Ziyuan moved the lantern in front of him and moved closer to the man. Only then did the light of the lantern illuminate his face clearly.
"Why, you don't recognize me anymore?" the man said with a smile.
Looking at this strange but somewhat familiar face and listening to his words, Zi Yuan finally remembered who it was. It turned out to be Lin Baiyang, his friend he made the day before.
"Big brother, it's you." Zi Yuan looked at the seventeen-year-old Lin Baiyang with a smile on his face.
"Is it not me or who?" Lin Baiyang said with a smile on his face.
Lin Baiyang, who was seven years older than him, still held the same pen and ink in one hand as on that day, and a broken bowl stained with ink in the other.
"Brother, don't you bring a lantern?" Zi Yuan asked.
Speaking of this, Lin Baiyang felt a little lost and envied Zi Yuan in his heart.
Not to mention lanterns, I have struggled to even eat these days. I can survive by eating one bun a day. Sometimes if I am lucky, I will receive some charity from the boss.
But seventeen-year-old Lin Baiyang didn't want to tell the truth: "No, besides, how troublesome it would be. Take her to Gongyuan, and then take her out of Gongyuan after the test."
Looking again, Ziyuan couldn't see what food he had brought with him, so he asked again with a worried look: "Did the eldest brother bring anything to eat?"
Lin Baiyang was a little at a loss, smiled slightly, looked at the candidates who were rushing around, and said: "Let's go quickly, otherwise it will be bad if we delay the time."
"Yes." After responding, Ziyuan placed the lantern in the middle, and the two of them relied on the lantern to guide the way forward.
Gongyuan is in the southeast of the city, and it is almost dawn at this moment. When they rushed to Gongyuan, it was just dawning.
While waiting for his name to be called, ten-year-old Zi Yuan thought about it for a while, but still felt uneasy. He anxiously asked Lin Baiyang aside: "Didn't you bring any food?"
Lin Baiyang smiled and took out a bun from his clothes: "I brought the buns. Look, they are stuffed with meat. There are many more inside."
It was hard to tell whether the buns were stuffed with meat, and the wind was strong, so it was impossible to confirm whether they were meat buns. From the clothes Lin Baiyang was wearing, it was impossible to tell whether he had brought many buns.
"Lin Baiyang!"
With a shout, Lin Baiyang hurriedly took back the bun, looked at Ziyuan, and said, "I wish you good luck in the exam."
"Good luck to you too."
Watching Lin Baiyang walk over, the examiner drew a red circle and walked in. For some reason, Zi Yuan began to worry about his meal.
"Zhang Ziyuan!"
With a shout, Chen Ziyuan hurriedly retracted his thoughts and hurried over.
Chunxu, who was staying at the Xilai Inn, just got up at this time.
Seeing that it was already light outside, Chunxu packed up his things, walked out of the inn, and went to have a meal first.
When passers-by saw Chunxu like this, they stayed far away, and no one dared to get close to him.
After finishing the family's wonton noodles, I carried the baggage back to the inn.
The manager of the Xilai Inn looked at him and found him really strange. Every morning and evening, he walked out of the inn door carrying a baggage and a knife on his waist, and walked in again from outside with a baggage on his back.
Seeing his appearance, the shopkeeper didn't dare to ask more questions, thinking to himself: It would be great if he could change a set of clothes every time he went out and come back, and not wear the same clothes every day, so that outsiders could see it. How nice is your own inn?
After entering the house and putting down his baggage, Chunxu began to be as idle as ever, wandering around the house with a knife on his waist, as if to show off how handsome and mighty he was.
Finally, Sun Chunxu couldn't sit still.
After all, you only eat two meals a day, and you stay there from morning to night. There are no calligraphy and paintings around to appreciate, not even a pen. Who can afford to stay here.
Thinking of Chen Ziyuan's appearance when he came back this time, Chunxu suddenly wanted to find something to do for himself.
I saw him pick up the baggage and carry it on his back. Then when he was about to walk out, he thought of something and turned around again.
"Is there something wrong with this outfit?" Chunxu muttered to himself and sat down.
Thinking about the way no one approached him when he was walking on the street just now, Chunxu concluded that it must be because of his appearance that no one was willing to tell him where to buy test questions.
"I'm so smart." Chunxu muttered to himself with a smile on his face.
Then he took off the baggage and knife, as well as the bamboo hat, leaving only the black gauze covering it. To put it simply, it was covered with a piece of black cloth.
After hiding the knife and the baggage, Chunxu went out.
The innkeeper saw his appearance and smiled kindly and without malice.
Seeing him disappearing away, the shopkeeper's smiling face turned away, and he felt a little happy in his heart: It would be nice if he brought big and small bags with him when he comes back soon.
When he walked onto the street, it was exactly what Sun Chunxu thought. The passers-by did not stay away from him, but treated him as ordinary people and passed by him.
Seeing this, Chunxu started looking for something to do.
Seeing this, he walked up to the young man and asked, "Brother, do you know where to sell test questions around here?"
The young man shook his head and walked over.
Thinking that the person who asked that question excluded women and children, Chunxu did not let anyone go this time.
Seeing an old woman with a cane walking over, Chunxu hurriedly walked over and blocked the old woman's way: "Old man, do you know where I can buy test questions?"
However, the old lady was a person with poor hearing. She didn't hear Chunxu's words clearly, so she said, "What?" She also put her hand to her ear and listened hard.
Seeing that the old lady's ears were not working properly, Chunxu had no choice but to let her go and continue to ask the next question.
After walking a few more steps, I happened to see a little boy running over, still holding the windmill tightly in his hand.
I don't know whether Chunxu moved too quickly or the little boy's reaction was too slow and bumped into Sun Chunxu.
Chunxu did not fall to the ground, but the little boy fell to the ground.
Seeing that the windmill he had just held tightly was now crumbled to pieces, the little boy with a happy face suddenly burst into tears, pointed at Chunxu and said, "UuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuHow, you pay for my windmill."
Seeing that the windmill collapsed and not knowing whose fault it was, Chunxu had no choice but to admit his bad luck. Seeing that the windmill could not be repaired, Chunxu took out a couple of silver and was about to hand it to him.
Before it was handed over, the little boy stretched out his hand. It seemed that such a child could not be kept.
"I can give it to you, but your windmill is not worth so much money. Just tell my brother where the place in the city is that sells test questions, and he will give it to you."
After hearing the request of the strange man in front of him and looking at Chunxu's unfamiliar face, the little boy said: "Go to this street, then go right, then left, and the fourth house is there."
Upon hearing this, Chunxu immediately felt happy and handed the money to him without mercy: "Take it, thank you!"
After saying that, Chunxu left quickly according to the place mentioned by the little boy.
The little boy who received the money was very happy. It was the first time for him to receive such a big pocket money. He stood up immediately and ran to nowhere happily.
Chunxu pressed the little boy's address and walked straight first, then turned right when he reached the intersection.
"Go left." Chunxu muttered to himself and walked over quickly.
After walking to the left, he counted while walking as he was unfamiliar with the place;
"one"
"two"
"three"
"Four"
After counting, Chunxu raised his head with a smile on his face and looked at the fourth house. However, something was not right.
"Sir, please come often."
"Sir, please go slowly."
"Come here, sir. The price is not high."
A woman's voice sounded at the door of the house, and the two reception women danced to welcome and send off the guests.
However, looking at this scene, it feels a little strange, as if I have seen it somewhere.
Chunxu walked over and looked up at the plaque above. Three big characters were clearly written on it - Baihua Tower.
Isn’t this a place for fun?
Thinking about what the little boy said, Chunxu made up his mind and walked over.
But there seems to be nothing wrong in thinking about it. People who sell test questions can only be safe if they sell them in such a place.
Seeing Chunxu approaching, a woman came up and took Chunxu's wrist to greet him: "Sir, please come in. Please come in."
Chunxu had no other ideas. He just wanted to see if selling test questions really existed. He also didn't want Ziyuan to take the exam in an unfair provincial examination.
After entering Baihua Building, Chunxu began to look around, looking for people selling test questions.
Before I could take a look, the woman on the side said: "Sir, look at it, which one do you choose?"
"Where is your place selling test questions?" Chunxu asked.
Upon hearing this, the woman was shocked: "What?"
Looking at the woman's face, Chunxu thought she was pretending not to hear because of the security of the transaction of the test questions. Chunxu quickly changed the question: "That is, where is the place where you sell the most goods?"
Good guys, they have completely different ideas.
"Are you looking for Xia Fangrong, the oiran here? Wait a minute, sir, I'll go right away."
Just as the woman was about to leave, Chunxu said, "No, no. Where are you selling test questions here?"
"What?"
"Test questions." Chunxu said clearly.
"Test questions?"
Chunxu nodded.
Upon hearing this, the woman looked at Sun Chunxu helplessly and said, "Come here! Get away!"
With these words, Sun Chunxu was rushed out before he could explain clearly.
Chunxu was very unhappy after being kicked out. With his martial arts, he was able to cause trouble in Baihua Tower, but he was kicked out by several people.
Frustrated, Sun Chunxu cursed: "Damn, I was cheated."
