Thank you Sha Mang for your reward!

Zhou Yu quickly took out a piece of paper from his cuff, read the question aloud, then stepped forward and handed the paper to the people in Yangqu County, and then gave the answer to Mr. Wen before returning it own side.At this time, Luo Xin wanted to retreat with Zhang Xun, but was stopped by Haizheng:

"Brother Luo Xian, Brother Zhang, please stay on the ring and solve the problem together."

"This..." A hint of hesitation appeared on Luo Xin's face.

"Brother Xin, just stay!"

Zhou Yu made a final decision, Jian Jie's face was a bit unsightly, but he couldn't say anything at this time, but he felt more and more suffocated in his heart.I worked hard to prepare for a long time, but I didn't become famous, but I didn't expect Luo Xin, whom I deeply loathe, to become famous.

"Brother Zijing stay here too!" Zhou Yu said to Luo Zhi, and Luo Zhi stood aside with cupped hands.He just looked at his nephew Luo Xin from time to time.

After nearly two quarters of an hour, another scholar from another county figured it out first, which made the magistrate of Yangqu County look very ugly.If it were not for Luo Xin's previous excellence, the scholars from the two counties would not be as good as the scholars from other counties. If you want to embarrass everyone, let's embarrass everyone, let alone the second elder brother.

However, now Luo Xin from Yangqu County is brilliant, and he just figured out the answer in a moment, which contrasts the stupidity of Yangqu County, how can he feel better?

Fortunately, after three quarters of an hour, Yangqu County calculated the answer and allowed the game to continue without letting Yangqu County lose this game, which made Li Zhixian look a little better.It's just that it's obvious that the calculation time this time is longer than the last time, and I don't know if it's because this time the problem is difficult, or because Luo Xin's sudden appearance made the people in Yangqu County feel a little impetuous.

It was Yangqu County's turn to ask questions again.

It was the older scholar from Yangqu County who took out a piece of paper from his cuff and read aloud:

The number of chickens and rabbits in the same cage is unknown, and 36 heads are exposed in the cage.

Count fifty pairs of feet, how many chickens and rabbits are there?
As soon as this question came out, Luo felt happy in his heart.This is clearly a primary school level question for later generations.There are two solutions to this question, one is the "foot cut method".

All the rabbits have "hidden" two feet, so there should be: 72 feet; now there are 100 feet, so 28 are hidden, then the number of rabbits is: 28/2=14, and 22 chickens are obtained .

One is the "adding foot method".

All the chickens grow two more artificial legs, then there are 144 in the application, now there are 100 legs, and there are 44 artificial legs, so the number of chickens is: 44/2=22, then the number of rabbits is: 14 only.

Luo Xin solved this question only by mental arithmetic, so he took up a pen and wrote: 22 chickens and 14 rabbits.

With Luo Xin's movement, several people in the Wendou arena couldn't help but look over, even Zhou Zhixian on the viewing platform became excited.The magistrate couldn't help sitting up slightly.

The problem that Luo Xin solved just now, to be honest, everyone has doubts in their hearts.After all, Luo Xin was too young, it was unbelievable that he could figure it out so quickly. Many people thought that someone must have figured it out, and they just let Luo Xin come forward.Maybe it was the Juren from Yanglin County who secretly asked Luo Xin to come out to cheat.

However, the Luo Ping couple in the distance don't think so.They just saw their son figured out the problem with their own eyes, and now they saw their son on the Wendou arena starting to write again, with boundless pride showing on his excited face, Luo Qing also stood up on the bullock cart , straightened his chest.

Zhang Xun's mother also showed pride on her face. Although she felt a little disappointed because her son Zhang Xun did not perform well, Luo Xin was also her adopted son.

Moreover……

Even if he is not her adopted son, he is still from Shanglin Village, and her husband Zhang Shu is the head of Shanglin Village. No one can take away this honor.

Luo Heng, Luo Ye and Luo Sheng showed tension on their faces.Before they knew it, they had forgotten about Luo Zhi, and their eyes were glued to Luo Xin's back.Only the little aunt showed a trace of unnaturalness on her face.She knew that if Luo Xin was successful, it would be the pride of the entire old Luo family, and her face was also radiant, but seeing the husband who had been reduced to a supporting role in the Wendou ring, she felt sore in her heart.

At this time, Luo Xin on the Wendou arena had already put down his pen, and made a gesture of invitation to Zhou Yu, asking Zhou Yu to give the answer to Mr. Wen, but Zhou Yu smiled slightly and picked up the pen. A piece of paper was placed in Luo Xin's hand, and he took a step back.

Everyone understood what this meant, and it was to give Luo Xin this highly anticipated opportunity.Luo Xin knew that Zhou Yu had good intentions to make himself famous, and he really didn't want to show off the limelight, but he couldn't refuse Zhou Yu's kindness, so he nodded and walked towards the middle of the Wendou ring with the answer in both hands.

Every step he took attracted all eyes, from Yanglin County, Yangqu County, the state capital and other counties.There is doubt in everyone's mind.

He... Can he really figure it out in such a short time?

The magistrate of Zhou has clenched his fists nervously. If Luo Xin can calculate it again in such a short period of time, it will be a complete victory over those talents from the prefecture and other counties, and this literary battle will never become a joke again.Those scholars in the state capital and other counties must shut up.

Lizhi County was even more nervous than him, if Luo Xin was right this time, Yangqu County would really be at a disadvantage.And this will form a momentum to impact the psychology of scholars in Yangqu County.If Luo Xin can solve their problems in such a short period of time, then Luo Xin will definitely be able to solve more difficult problems. This kind of situation will make the people in Yangqu County collapse psychologically. come out.

"The answer is wrong!" Li Zhixian clenched his fists in the sleeves of his robe and said silently in his heart.

"The answer is wrong!" All the people in Yangqu County thought silently in their hearts.

"Mr. Wen!"

Luo Xin came to Mr. Wen, saluted, and put the piece of paper on the table.Mr. Wen smiled and nodded towards Luo Xin, then matched the two answers, gave Luo Xin an appreciative glance, and then said loudly:
"22 chickens and 14 rabbits. The answer is correct."

"boom……"

The people of Yanglin County, who had been nervous all the time, burst into enthusiasm in an instant, and the excitement turned from nervousness poured out, and the cheers shook the whole field.Luo Qing was so happy that he jumped high on the bullock cart and jumped off the bullock cart, fell down and squatted down, Luo Ping gave him a look and said:

"Go home and take a horse stance for an hour."

Then he opened his mouth wide and laughed, and Luo Shi also flushed with pride.Luo Qing didn't care about his father's punishment, jumped up from the ground, climbed onto the bullock cart, pointed at Luo Xin on the Wendou ring and shouted to the people around him:

"That's my brother! That's my brother!"
