Chapter 49 Falling ill
Gu Mingda didn't answer, but hid behind the paper.
The middle-aged man stretched out his hand to catch Gu Mingda, but he missed the target and missed the golden time. Two patrol sergeants ran over and held him down.
"Be honest! You can't pass the exam and you still want to harm others!" one of the sergeants scolded.
Another sergeant looked at Gu Mingda questioningly.
Gu Mingda waved his hand and said, "It's okay, my paper is okay."
The sergeant nodded to him, and then dragged the middle-aged man to the other end of the examination room.
The environment in the examination room was very depressing, and the air seemed to be stagnant. Gu Mingda glanced outside and saw that the previously cloudless sky had now become gray. After eating the cakes in a few seconds, he began to write.
After drying the ink, Gu Mingda handed in the paper on the spot without hesitation for a second.
He saw with his own eyes that the examination papers were delivered safely by the sergeants, and after his name was sealed, his heart finally fell into place.
Under the guidance of the steward, he carried the examination basket and left the examination room.
He was still cautious on the way home, and there were still occasional accidents, but they did not happen to him. When he finally entered the house he rented, his heart just settled down when he heard the pattering sound coming from under the eaves.
An unexpected rain fell so unexpectedly.
Zhang Yunniang looked anxious: "Ms. sir, have you gotten wet?"
Gu Mingda smiled and shook his head.
Zhang Yuniang breathed a sigh of relief and asked about what happened during today's exam. When she learned that there were so many accidents, her heart became clenched again.
"It's okay, it's all over. Didn't I come back well?" Gu Mingda said softly.
When other families in the yard saw the rain, they all went out with umbrellas to pick up the candidates taking the exam.
Only little Cai, now taking advantage of her husband's absence, hid in the house and slept soundly, never hearing the sound of rain at all.
Little Cai has always loved to be lazy. If not for this, she would never have been able to do the wonderful thing of leaving all the work to her five-year-old adopted daughter.
By the time she woke up from a deep sleep, all the other scholars in the house who were rushing to take exams had been picked up by their families.
The light rain that originally fell has turned into a downpour. The entire sky is dark, rain is everywhere, and you can't even see the road clearly.
Xiao Cai hurriedly took out an umbrella and planned to go out, when she heard Mrs. Qi, who lived next door, sighing:
"Fortunately, I left early to pick you up. Otherwise, we might have been stuck there due to such heavy rain. Drink this bowl of **** soup quickly to keep away the cold."
Qi Tongsheng responded with a smile.
Mrs. Qi looked at Xiao Cai again, a little surprised, and said, "Ms. Zhang, are you going to pick someone up now? It's raining so heavily that your umbrella will be broken if you turn around. Just wait, wait until the rain subsides before going out."
Xiao Cai responded awkwardly. She was not too panicked at this moment. Zhang Guangzong had a explosive temper. It was raining so heavily and she overslept and didn't go to pick her up. She didn't know how to deal with her later.
She kept hoping in her heart, hoping that the rain would light up.
But God seemed not to hear her prayers. The rain became heavier and heavier, so heavy that it was extremely difficult to walk from the bedroom through the yard to the kitchen.
The autumn rain is already cold, and now it is approaching winter. Just standing under the eaves, I feel the cold air coming straight to my body.
Little Cai was so cold that she put on a coat and did not dare to stand on the eaves. She hid in the house and was so anxious that she walked around the house. Occasionally she opened the window and looked outside, but the rain showed no sign of decreasing.
Zhang Guangzong was sitting in the teahouse outside the examination room, watching the hot tea in front of him, scolding Mr. Cai countless times in his heart.
"Waiter, add some more hot water to my pot." Zhang Guangzong said to the waiter.
The waiter reluctantly added some hot water to the teapot and asked: "Guest, do you only want hot water? We also have hot food in the store, would you like to order one?"
Zhang Guangzong shook his head.
He didn't have much money on him. He had been expecting little Cai to pick him up. Now he was waiting and waiting. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, but there was no sign of anyone. Zhang Guangzong had been taking the exam for a whole day and only dealt with a casual meal at noon. He was already hungry. Roll.
Things in the teahouse near the examination room are already more expensive than elsewhere, but now that it is pouring rain outside and this extreme weather, the prices have gone up a bit.
A pot of tea sold for five cents elsewhere in the city, but today this teahouse sold it for thirty cents.
A pot of hot water, a few slices of coarse tea, sold for this price is really no different from robbery.
Tea was so expensive, Zhang Guangzong could only imagine the sky-high prices that this restaurant's hot food would fetch.
"Sir, your noodles are good!" The waiter smiled and handed a bowl of hot noodles to the customer at the next table. Zhang Guangzong held his stomach and drank water one after another. He couldn't help but feel envious when he saw other people eating hot food with happy expressions on their faces.
The curtain at the door was opened, and a gust of cold wind blew in.
Zhang Guangzong was so stimulated that he felt cold all over and couldn't help but sneeze.
"Forget it, I'm suffering here while others don't know how to enjoy happiness! I don't care!"
Zhang Guangzong comforted himself in this way, and then he looked at the waiter: "Please order me a bowl of noodles."
The waiter gave him a rare smile and asked, "Guest, a bowl of noodles with eggs and meat costs sixty yuan. I'll let the kitchen cook it for you."
Zhang Guangzong's eyes widened when he heard this.
Normally, a bowl of noodles like this costs up to twenty or sixty cents. Isn’t this robbery?
Zhang Guangzong took a look at the teahouse that was full of people, but he couldn't hold back what was in his heart, but asked: "Waiter, do you have some plain noodles?"
The smile on the waiter's face dropped slightly and he said: "A bowl of plain noodles for thirty cents, guest, do you want it?"
Just when Zhang Guangzong was about to nod, the waiter suddenly said: "Guest, Mr. Tongsheng, who is also rushing for the exam, why do you eat so easily? There will be a second exam in a few days. It's raining so hard today. It would be better if you don't eat. To replenish your health?”
Zhang Guangzong cares about himself the most. When he heard this, he couldn't help but feel pitiful for himself. He gritted his teeth and said, "You're right, I want a bowl of meat noodles with an egg!"
The waiter immediately grinned when he heard this, thanking the rain in his heart. Eighty percent of the customers in the store are now scholars rushing to take exams. With this kind of rhetoric, he sold who knows how many bowls of meat noodles. I don't know how many bowls of meat noodles he sold at his restaurant tonight. And you can make a lot more money.
After eating a bowl of meat noodles, Zhang Guangzong felt warm all over, and his resentment towards Xiao Cai became a little lighter.
After food and clothing were taken care of, he continued to sit in the teahouse and waited for the rain to stop. He couldn't help but think about what happened in the morning.
Looking back at this time, he felt that his calculation was very clever. It was a pity that he entered the examination room too early and had no chance to see Gu Mingda's expression. He couldn't help but think that Gu Mingda was always smart and knew that he was being taken in. What kind of expression will he make when his partner drags him down?
As for whether the cheat sheet will ruin the lives of innocent people, Zhang Guangzong doesn't care.
Zhang Guangzong thought about how notorious his reputation had become in his hometown during this period, and he didn't know how much effort it took before anyone was willing to sign a guarantee with him. He felt that it was Gu Mingda who was harming him!
Anyone who is willing to sign a guarantee with Gu Mingda is considered an enemy in his eyes!
When the waiter was collecting the bowls, he passed by Zhang Guangzong and frowned slightly. He thought to himself that this customer was really strange. It was raining so hard that he couldn't go home. Why was he still smiling so happily?
The rain outside still didn't stop, the night was already very deep, and the teahouse had already closed. A few guests left in the rain, but there were still many guests in the teahouse who couldn't leave.
The teahouse didn't kick people out, it just kept the door open, and it was inevitable that they would charge some benefits.
Zhang Guangzong gritted his teeth and paid out another sum of money. Like everyone else, he stretched himself out and sat on the chair.
A cold night.
The sky was still gray the next day.
But the good news is that the rain finally stopped.
All the guests in the teahouse got up and left. Most of them were walking in a hurry and didn't look optimistic.
Zhang Guangzong only felt that his head was dizzy. He had long since lost the pleasure of succeeding in his scheme. He was looking forward to going home early, falling on the bed and sleeping comfortably.
On the way, I happened to meet the little Cai who was looking for him.
Little Cai looked at him with evasive eyes.
Zhang Guangzong glared at her, and he had thousands of things to curse in his heart, but he stayed up all night, and his energy and energy were all gone, and he didn't even have the energy to curse.
Little Mrs. Cai helped him back to the house, and as soon as he entered the door, he couldn't wait to jump on the bed.
"Ms., I'm going to cook for you, but I don't have any money..." Little Cai said cautiously.
As soon as Zhang Guangzong touched the pillow, he snored heavily a moment later, and he could not hear what little Cai said.
Little Cai pushed him gently, but there was no movement. When she looked carefully, she saw that Zhang Guang's cheeks were red and he didn't know who he was.
A quarter of an hour later.
Suddenly, a woman's cry came from outside the Gu family's house.
"Eldest sister, brother-in-law! We are relatives. I come from a womanly family and I don't know anyone else in Fucheng. My husband-in-law is so ill, you must help me!" Little Cai shouted at the top of her lungs.
