Chapter 207 Rural Examination Walking with Ghosts

Morning, Hu Mansion.

"Have you brought your things?" Zhang Yuan, holding a basket, turned to Li Si and asked.

At this time, he was dressed as a scholar, but the basket he was carrying looked to Li Si just like those aunties buying groceries.

It's just that Li Si couldn't laugh at him at this time, because he was also carrying a basket, so it was probably not much different.

Today is the day of the provincial examination, and they are going to the examination room.

The provincial examination was different from the college entrance examination in his previous life. It took three days.

During these three days, candidates have to spend time in the examination room, eating, drinking and having sex in the examination room.

The baskets they were carrying at this time were not for carrying vegetables when they were going to buy groceries, but for examination baskets.

Used to hold stationery and food.

"You've got your things, let's go." Li Si nodded and asked Zhang Yuan to walk out.

Then the two of them walked out of Hu's Mansion, and when they arrived at the door, a carriage was already parked at the door, and a groom was waiting for them.

"Two gentlemen, please get in the car." When the coachman saw the two of them, he immediately handed over his hands, with a look of awe and envy on his face.

These two husbands may soar to the sky after completing this exam and become candidates.

Thinking of this, he felt a little bitter in his heart, but for him, this was something he couldn't even imagine. He would have to live with his own horse for the rest of his life. He was completely different from these two husbands, and he would never be the same person for the rest of his life. Not a person of that class.

"More, old man." Li Si smiled at the coachman and boarded the carriage with Zhang Yuan.

The carriage was called by Zhang Yuan, saying that it was a bit far and it would be easier to go there by carriage, so Li Si let him go.

"I wonder if Brother Li is sure this time?" After getting on the carriage, Zhang Yuan looked at him with a smile.

Hearing Zhang Yuan's words, Li Si was slightly startled, then thought about it and said, "About 70% to 80%."

Although he had no interest in this scientific examination and read books to better understand the world, with the help of Xiaoyu during this period, he also read those books into his mind and understood the meaning of the scriptures.

The scientific examination at this time was a piece of cake for him, and he was 100% sure.

It's just that he is also a grown-up girl getting on the sedan chair, so it's not easy for him to hold on to his words since it's his first time taking the scientific examination.

"Oh?" Zhang Yuan was a little surprised when he heard this. He also got to know this friend he had met recently and knew that he was stable.

So these 70% to 80% almost mean that you will definitely win.

"Brother Zhang, what about you? Are you sure?" Seeing Zhang Yuan's surprise, Li Si had no intention of explaining and changed the subject.

"I'm only seven or eight levels sure." Hearing this, Zhang Yuan said with a teasing look in his eyes.

Hearing what Zhang Yuan said, Li Si was a little stunned, and then he stopped laughing and laughed together with Zhang Yuan.

Amidst the conversation between Li Si and Zhang Yuan, the carriage was driving slowly in the city, and soon it arrived at a place full of people.

Arriving here, the carriage slowly stopped.

"Mother-in-law, the examination room is just ahead. It's not convenient for me to go there. How about you two get off here." After the carriage stopped, the driver shouted into the carriage.

After hearing this, Li Si and Zhang Yuan walked out of the carriage and got off the carriage.

"Okay, you can go back." Zhang Yuan waved his hand and looked forward with excitement.

Seeing Zhang Yuan like this, Li Si shook his head and smiled, took out some copper coins from his sleeve and handed them to the coachman, and let him drive away.

"Brother Li, today is the day when you and I soar into the sky!" Zhang Yuan shouted excitedly.

He was holding the test basket at this time, and his excited look was a bit funny.

But at this time, Li Si's attention was not on him, but on the group of people next to the examination room.

The group of people were all dressed as scholars, old and young, and they gathered together to talk.

But Li Si knew that these people were not candidates.

Because the candidates are queuing up to be examined, how can they still gather around the examination room.

In Li Si's eyes, they looked dead, with green faces and white lips, they were clearly ghosts.

And every time a candidate is examined, a ghost scholar follows him.

"Brother Li, what are you looking at?" At this time, Zhang Yuan also noticed that something was wrong with Li Si. He followed Li Si's gaze curiously, but found nothing.

Hearing Zhang Yuan's voice, Li Si woke up from his daze and said awkwardly: "It's nothing, it's just my first provincial examination, so I'm a little nervous."

"Oh." Zhang Yuan looked at him strangely. He knew his friend's character, so how could he be nervous?

But Li Si didn't say anything, so it was hard for him to ask further questions.

At this time, Li Si was a little confused. The situation in front of him foreshadowed many things.

What are these ghosts doing? Cannibalism, or something else?

And does this happen every time in the provincial examination? The information behind this was a bit messy, and he lost his concentration for a moment.

"Brother Li?" Zhang Yuanyuan and Li Si were a little distracted and couldn't help but call him again.

"Let's go into the examination room." Li Si calmed down and exhaled.

Seeing Li Si's appearance, Zhang Yuan couldn't help but laugh: "Look at you, you look like you have entered a devil's cave."

Li Si shook his head, ignored him, and walked towards the examination room.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuan had no intention of joking, and followed him with a solemn expression.

As they passed through the crowd of spectators, they arrived at the examination room where they were queuing up.

There was no noise while queuing. Firstly, loud noises were not allowed here, and secondly, everyone in the queue was nervous about the provincial examination and had no intention of talking.

After a long period of time, it was Li Si's turn. After verifying his identity, he immediately began to undergo a physical examination.

The clerk touched him all over his body, turned the contents of the examination basket upside down, and inspected the contents carefully.

Even the hair bun was asked to be loosened and inspected carefully, which was considered extremely careful.

"Okay, you can go find a room by yourself." The clerk threw a sign to Li Si and started to check the next person.

"Room C, No. 5." Li Si looked at the sign in his hand, read it softly, and walked towards the examination room.

At this time, a middle-aged scholar also came over and followed Li Si.

Li Si didn't care about him. Every candidate here was following a ghost, and this person should be the ghost following him.

He was a little curious about this ghost, and he wanted to know what this ghost wanted to do.

"Room C, No. 5..." Li Si muttered softly and walked in one direction.

"You're going to the wrong side, you're going to the wrong side." Hearing this, the middle-aged scholar quickly pointed to the other side and shouted.

But he suddenly realized that he was already a ghost, and this person couldn't hear his words, and he couldn't help but show an annoyed look on his face.

"Hey, something's wrong." Li Si walked halfway and suddenly realized something. He glanced around, turned around and walked in the other direction.

Seeing Li Si walking over there, the middle-aged scholar couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and followed him.

Not long after, Li Si arrived at Room C, No. 5. There were separate rooms connected together. There was no wall on one side, and the space inside was extremely small, only about three square meters at most.

There are two boards inside, one for sitting and one for a desk.

The board used as a desk can be removed and combined with the board used as a stool, and can be used as a bed at night.

It’s just that you’re definitely not used to sleeping on this kind of bed.

Seeing this scene, Li Si also had some understanding of the difficulties of scholars taking the imperial examination. The journey to the examination and the three days of the examination are both a kind of training for people.

Then without thinking much, he lifted the board and walked in.

When the middle-aged scholar saw this, he immediately followed him and entered the small room.

Suddenly, the small room itself seemed a little crowded.

But Li Si didn't pay much attention to this matter. After all, no matter how the ghost occupied the position, it was still empty and could not be regarded as occupying the position.

At this time, he was thinking about what this ghost meant. After all, it had been following him for a while, but there was no sign that this ghost was harmful to him.

Could it be that this ghost is here to invigilate the exam?

Li Si glanced at the middle-aged scholar thoughtfully, feeling a little helpless.

If this is the case, if he stays here for three days, this ghost will stay with him for three days.

In other words, he had to eat and live with the ghost for three days without being noticed by the ghost.

"idiot……"

"Fool……"

"..."

Suddenly, the middle-aged scholar on the side started scolding Li Si.

Li Si glanced at him just now, which made him suspicious, and he couldn't help but test it out.

Hearing this, Li Si acted as if he hadn't heard anything and began to take out his examination equipment from the examination basket.

But some of the actions the middle-aged scholar behind him made made him have the urge to kill him with his blood.

"Donkey..." The middle-aged scholar made a face and his eyes fell out.

"Oh, my eyes..." The middle-aged scholar's eyes fell to the ground, and he immediately let out a low voice. He raised his butt and turned his back to Li Si. He groped on the ground with his hands to find his eyes.

Seeing him like this, Li Si's mouth twitched slightly. He would have to stay with these idiots for three days. This would be a disaster. He couldn't bear the chattering.

And just when the middle-aged scholar was looking for his eyes, there were more and more candidates in the nearby room, as well as the ghosts.

For a moment, there was a cold feeling in the examination room.

Immediately, some candidates lit the coal in the examination room to keep warm.

"Hey, don't you light a fire?" The middle-aged scholar grabbed two eyeballs in his hand and faced Li Si.

Li Si didn't answer, too lazy to pay attention to him.

Seeing Li Si's appearance, the middle-aged scholar also felt bored, so he squatted aside and kept his eyes open.

While he was pretending to be blind, Li Si took out the fire seal from the test basket and started to light the charcoal fire in the small stove.

After all, he is now a "literary scholar" and cannot bear the cold, so in order not to attract attention, he still has to burn it.

"when!"

And it was at this time that a rumble sounded.

"The time for the rural examination has arrived. No idlers are allowed to enter at this time, and no one is allowed to make any noise!"

As this voice sounded, several clerks ran over and distributed test papers.

"Remember, before the bell rings, you must never answer the paper in advance, otherwise the results will be invalid." The clerk placed the test paper in front of Li Si, gave a serious instruction, and then went to the next room to distribute the test papers.

The plane just landed... because it was late, and I couldn't even fly yesterday because I spent the early morning in the sky. Sorry to keep everyone waiting, this is just yesterday.
