Chapter 244 Siphon Effect
Sun Bomin agreed very much with his second son-in-law's suggestion and planned to invite a doctor to visit him tomorrow.
He said to several students, "Don't go out tomorrow morning. Let the doctor take a look so that you can feel at ease."
Sun Shan had no objection to this. He really wanted to find a doctor. If he was sick, he could be cured, and if he was healthy, everyone would be happy.
Zheng Hongwen and others had no objection. They suggested that they use the universal boat with caution and let the doctor take a look.
Over the years, there have been students who failed to pass the exam due to illness.
These are still lucky, at least they still have a chance to take the exam again.
Some students fell ill right after entering the examination room, while some were unwilling to give up and insisted on finishing the exam, but ended up losing their lives during the exam.
There are all kinds of strange things happening in the examination room. You should pay more attention.
The next morning, Sun Bomin asked a doctor to come to his home to see him. Since he had experience in the provincial medical examination, he was able to find a doctor himself this time.
On the way, he also asked Master Xiao Hong to come over to see the patient together.
The doctor examined everyone carefully and concluded that except Sun Shan, everyone else was fine and did not need to take any medicine.
As for Sun Shan, he was born prematurely and was a sickly person. In addition, the journey was long and he was exposed to the sun all the way, so it was normal for him to feel uncomfortable.
The doctor prescribed some medicine to nourish his body and told him not to walk around and to stay in the yard.
Especially at noon when the sun is at its highest, don't go out.
He already has symptoms of heat stroke.
After hearing this, Sun Boming patted his chest. Fortunately, a doctor was found. If Shanzi was not in good health, it would not matter whether he took the exam or not. The most important thing was that he was safe.
When Mr. Hong heard the news, he hurried over to see Sun Shan and told him with great concern to follow the doctor's instructions and not to run around.
Sun Shan hummed and quickly promised not to go anywhere and just stay in the yard to read.
Only then did Hong Xiucai feel relieved. He didn't want his most promising student to miss the entrance examination due to health reasons.
I don't want him to get sick during the exam, which would damage his health. Sun Shan still has a long way to go, so it's best for him to take care of his health.
Following the doctor's instructions, Sun Shan did not go anywhere and stayed in the yard all day.
Get up in the morning and walk a few laps, read after breakfast, read after lunch, and read after dinner.
By the way, I also took the body-regulating medicine prescribed by the doctor.
Sun Shan looked calm on the outside, but he was a little panicked on the inside. After several days, he took medicine but it seemed that there was no relief. His head was still a little confused and he couldn't muster up energy.
Sun Shan suspected that this doctor was useless, so he asked Sun Boming to find another doctor. The doctor came to the same conclusion that Sun Shan was weak to begin with, and the hot weather, long journey, exposure to the sun and heat, had prevented the root of his illness from being cured.
As for when it will be best, probably about a month and a half.
This kind of conditioning takes a long time.
Sun Shan was stunned for a long time, suppressing his worry and comforting himself that everything would be fine. He was in good health and it was impossible for him to be unwell just because of sitting on a long-distance bus for two days.
The last time he had heat stroke was several years ago, and he hasn't had it since.
Sun Shan's face showed no change, but Sun Bomin was worried. What did the doctor mean by this? Would it take a month and a half to recover?
But there are less than ten days left until the college entrance examination. Does Shanzi have to go to the examination room despite his illness?
Sun Bomin didn't want Shanzi to risk his life for the exam.
What's more, this exam is different from the county exam and the prefectural exam.
This time, I have to stay in the examination room for three days for the entrance exam. It is not the kind where I can go home and sleep after taking one exam per day.
Sun Bomin asked hesitantly, "Shanzi, why don't we not take the exam this time and come back next time. Next time we can leave in July, no, in June, two months in advance, so we won't get sick."
Sun Shan's face was calm and he said nonchalantly, "Dad, don't worry. There are still 10 days before the college entrance examination. I can rest well during this period. By the time I take the exam, I will be well again."
Sun Shan encouraged himself, saying that there was still time before the college entrance examination, so he should take good care of his health during these days and try to recover as soon as possible.
Sun Boming thought about it and felt that Shanzi was right. There was still some time before the entrance examination, so there was no need to draw conclusions too early.
But he warned her repeatedly, "Shanzi, if you really feel uncomfortable, speak up, don't hold it in. You are still young, there are many opportunities. If you don't do it this time, there will be next time, and the next time. There is no need to rush."
Sun Shan hummed, indicating that he would make a decision after carefully considering the situation. Besides, he was just feeling dizzy and confused, and it wasn't serious enough that he had to lie in bed.
I think the doctor is trying to shirk responsibility by deliberately saying that it will take so long. What if the doctor says that it will be fine after a few days of rest, and Sun Shan is not well, then there will be a medical dispute.
Sun Shan found countless reasons to convince himself that everything was fine and that he could enter the examination room.
Sun Bomin and Sun Shan didn't tell anyone that Sun Shan had not stopped writing despite his illness, so as not to worry others.
As the days passed, Sun Shan spent less time reading and more time resting.
A few days ago, Zheng Hongwen went out with Huang Zhiyuan, Qin Shaofeng, and Master Xiao Hong to communicate with students from previous years and was very busy.
After coming back, he told Sun Shan about the lively situation outside.
In particular, he finally met the top winner of the provincial examination. He was extremely impressed by the top winner's talent and said that the top winner was particularly good at writing poetry. Everyone was amazed.
Zheng Hongwen smiled and said, "Ashan, it's a pity that you didn't go. The Kuixing Tower was very exciting, with many candidates competing together. The talents in the prefectural school were really amazing. The ones in our Huangyang County... well, I won't say more."
It seems that Zheng Hongwen is deeply aware of the ironclad fact that Huangyang County's literary style is poor.
Zheng Hongwen then said, "I met Zhang Yue, the first place in the case of our Huangyang County. He did not return to Huangyang County after he went to Zhangzhou Prefecture last time. He has been studying in the prefectural school these days. Well, you know what, Zhang's knowledge is getting better and better."
After taking the examination in Zhangyue Prefecture, he stayed in Zhangzhou Prefecture for further studies. It seems that he did not hire a famous teacher on his own, but went to study in the prefectural school.
Yes, the official school of Zhangzhou Prefecture is the most famous school, and the teachers there are all Juren or above. Going in to study there is very helpful for one’s improvement.
Zheng Hongwen added: "Zhang Yue also asked if you came? I said you were not feeling well and needed to rest well. Zhang Yue asked you to take care of yourself."
Sun Shan listened carefully to the news that Zheng Hongwen had obtained from outside. He found it very interesting and also wanted to go outside to take a look.
But these are secondary. Now we need to get a good rest and prepare for entering the market.
Zheng Hongwen covered his mouth, chuckled, and whispered, "You ranked fourth in this provincial exam, and you are from Huangyang County. Many people were very surprised. Hey, Ashan, you don't know that the top five in the provincial exam are all from the provincial school, and you are the only one who made it. They are very curious about who you are and what you look like. Many people asked you about it."
Sun Shan was also happy when he heard this, but he felt a little regretful when he thought that he had worked so hard to get fourth place in the exam and had no chance to show off in Kuixing Tower.
He shook his head and said, "There's nothing we can do. The teachers at the provincial school are too good. Every time, one-third of the candidates who make the provincial examination are from the provincial school."
It was not until Sun Shan listened to Mr. Hong that he realized that resources were distributed so unevenly.
The siphon effect of the provincial school sucked away all the best resources, leaving the surrounding county schools with fewer and fewer resources.
