It was the day of Xiao Liulang's exam in a blink of an eye.

Gu Jiao woke up early, made noodles, steamed a bowl of porcelain white noodle buns, and cooked a pot of wild mushroom soup.

The wild mushrooms were collected on the mountain. The first time they were collected has been eaten. These were freshly collected on the mountain yesterday, and there are still a lot of them left. She plans to carry them to the market and sell them later.

In fact, she also picked the fungus, but the fresh fungus is poisonous and must be dried before it can be eaten.

While waiting for the meal, she went back to the house and took the medicine.

The wounds on her wrists and back of her head are all right, and the medicine is almost finished. The ointment is relatively long-used, and more than half of it is left.

On the other side, Xiao Liulang also got up.

Gu Jiao knew that he was studying late last night and didn't bother him in the morning, but unexpectedly he still got up so early.

In fact, can sleep a little longer, the bullock cart to the town is not so early.

Gu Jiao arranged the bowls and chopsticks and filled him with a small bowl of wild mushroom soup. This was because he was worried that he went into the examination room to look for the latrine, but it was not full.

But don't know if it is Gu Jiao's illusion, always feel that the small eyes that Xiao Liulang glanced over inadvertently are a bit resentful.

The exam took a whole day, and Gu Jiao filled steamed buns and water.

After a while, she didn't know what she thought of, and she stuffed ten copper plates into her baggage.

Xiao Liulang watched her cram the copper plate, his eyes moved, and he didn't speak.

Gu Jiao handed him the loaded baggage: "I have already paid for the car, and I have called you so that I can send you directly to the academy."

"Yeah." Xiao Liulang replied, took the baggage, and walked out the door with his crutches.

Gu Jiao looked at his lame leg and resisted the idea of ​​sending him to the village entrance. Presumably he was not happy either.

When Xiao Liulang arrived at the entrance of the village, Second Uncle Luo’s bullock cart had been parked under the locust tree, and there were many people sitting in them, all of them were villagers who took their own small vegetables and eggs to sell in the town.

When the villagers saw him, they all smiled and snorted at him.

Xiao Liulang is a scholar. He looks cold on weekdays, but he doesn't have much arrogance. Anyone who wants to read a letter or reply to a letter will come to him. Although Gu Dashun was also a scholar, Gu Dashun was in a private school during the day and went home at night to study hard. The villagers seldom bothered him.

There is one last seat on the bullock cart, which should be reserved for him.

When he was about to go up, he felt a figure dangle by, blocking him in front of him.

The opponent held the bullock cart with one hand, and the other figure behind him with the other hand: "Shunzi, come on!"

It is the mother and son of the Zhou family of Gu's Dafang.

Zhou blocked Xiao Liulang strictly, not giving Xiao Liulang the opportunity to get on the bullock cart at all.

In the bullock cart, an aunt said: "Shun Zi, his mother, Liu Lang came first."

Gu Dashun's movement in the bullock cart stopped.

He turned his head, looked over his mother, and glanced at Xiao Liulang.

Xiao Liulang's eyes are cold and his expression is indifferent.

Zhou hummed indifferently, "I have a test for Shunzi! What happened to him first? Can I delay my Shunzi test if he comes first?"

Everyone in the village knows that Gu Dashun is a promising man. He was admitted to the county school a while ago. He was a scholar. heard that you don't need to kneel down and salute when you see the county grandfather.

Although Xiao Liulang is a good guy, he is not as important as Gu Dashun's future.

If Gu Dashun has developed, it will not only give the Gu family a glorious ancestor, but also the entire Qingquan Village.

Everyone is silent.

"That..." Second Uncle Luo said wryly, "Roku Lang... also went to the exam."

When Gu Jiao came to see Ershu Luo last night, he made it clear to Ershu Luo that Xiao Liulang was going to take an exam in a college. Xiao Liulang had inconvenience in his legs and feet, and told him to send someone there. For this, he was given two more copper plates.

Second Uncle Luo was quite puzzled, the little Gu's idiot who didn't deal with Xiao Liulang, talked and acted like a different person.

But before he had time to ask more, Gu Jiao left.

Hearing that Xiao Liulang was also taking the exam, Zhou didn't worry at all. Can Xiao Liulang's exam compare to her son's?

Gu Dashun looked at Xiao Liulang in amazement: "Are you... also going to Tianxiang Academy?"

"Yeah." Xiao Liulang responded indifferently.

Xiao Liulang was already a child when he first came to the village. At that time, Gu Dashun was also a child. Later, Gu Dashun was admitted as a scholar, and Xiao Liulang was still a child. Gu Dashun didn't like Xiao Liulang that much.

"You haven't gone to a private school for half a year..." Gu Dashun shook his head.

The meaning is obvious, Xiao Liulang couldn't pass the test at all.

And Uncle Luo, who had originally planned to persuade a fellow villager to give Xiao Liulang a place, silently suppressed his words.

Since you can't pass the exam, you don't have to toss about it.

Uncle Luo gave out the purse.

There were two copper plates to go to the market, and three copper plates in a little place. Gu Jiao gave two more, a total of five copper plates.

Second Uncle Luo counted the copper plates back to Xiao Liulang, and Gu Dashun was pushed into an ox cart by Zhou.

It's just that he hasn't sat down yet, a thin, bare hand suddenly stretched out from behind his back, grabbed his back collar, and pulled him off the bullock cart!

Gu Dashun is two years older than Xiao Liulang. He is nineteen this year. He is a sturdy young man, but he staggered and almost didn't fall to the ground.

Zhou was so frightened that he hurried to help Gu Dashun.

"Who!"

She cursed and turned back.

Then saw the thin and small Gu Jiao with everyone.

Gu Jiao's eyes were cold, with an unruly chill.

Everyone was stunned.

"Gu Jiao, why are you crazy!" Zhou's who was so bold, turned out to be this little fool.

"Take the copper plate back." Gu Jiao didn't care about Zhou at all. She only looked at Uncle Luo, whose hands were frozen in the air, and frowned impatiently. "I decided on the bullock cart last night. You can regret it. , Refunded everyone's car money."

"What do you mean?" Zhou asked.

"Literally, Xiao Liulang can't get on the bullock cart today, so no one is allowed to get on the bullock cart." Gu Jiao said.

"Why are you?" an aunt hummed.

Gu Jiao slowly took out the sickle from behind: "Just because I am a fool? A fool only does foolish things?"

Everyone turned pale when they saw the knife.

Zhou, who wanted to rush to pull Gu Jiao's hair, was too scared to step forward.

No one understands what happened to Gu Jiao, and why she couldn't make it through Xiao Liulang, who had long been despised, and the Gu family who had always been close to her.

Even Xiao Liulang's eyes passed a trace of astonishment.

"If you want to invite the old man from the Gu family, please hurry up." Gu Jiao said, blowing the sickle that was sharpened to light by herself.

Zhou really wanted to go.

Was stopped by Gu Dashun.

It doesn't make sense to reason with a fool, and it's not good to delay the exam.

Although Xiao Liulang would also miss the exam, Xiao Liulang couldn't pass the exam, and if he missed it, he would miss it. He was different.

In the end, Second Uncle Luo thought of a way and asked Zhou to spend money to buy vegetables from one of the folks, and the folks gave the seat to Gu Dashun.

Gu Jiao didn't care whose seat Gu Dashun bought.

However, in order to prevent another accident halfway, Gu Jiao carried a sickle on her back.

There are no more seats in the bullock cart for her.

She dragged her thin and small body, walked for more than ten miles in a daze, and sent Xiao Liulang into the examination room safely.
