Chapter 251 Leaving the Examination Room
After an hour, 20 people finally gathered, which meant that the cards could be played.
At this time, Sun Shan was lying pitifully beside the big pillar, looking completely ungraceful.
But no one was interested in paying attention to him. The candidate was only physically stronger than him, but not much better mentally.
Staying in a small room for three days would make it impossible for anyone to be cheerful and talkative.
The yamen runners counted the number of people, asked them to line up, and prepared to display cards and set off firecrackers.
Sun Shan tried to stand up, but he couldn't.
It was the kind-hearted yamen runner who carried him and put him in the first seat, thinking that when they got out, he would ask his family to take him away. He was so pitiful.
At the same time, I was secretly envious. This kid hasn't even fully grown his hair yet, but he's already a virgin. He's really outstanding.
The solemn red gate slowly opened, followed by three blank shots.
Sun Shan drooped weakly on the yamen runner and walked forward step by step with him.
The moment he stepped out of the red gate, the yamen runner put him aside, then hurried back into the gate. After a group of candidates ran out, he immediately closed the gate.
As a government official, you should focus on official business first and help the boy out. You have already done your best.
Sun Shan opened his eyes with difficulty, but the strong sunlight made his eyes only half open.
I looked back at the big red gate and cursed in my heart: I finally got out.
And that yamen runner uncle, I understand you are in a hurry, but could you please not push me to the ground? Couldn't you just put me down gently?
I was trying to open my eyes and look for my relatives and friends when suddenly a voice came out: "Shanzi, Shanzi, Shanzi, what's wrong with you?"
Anxious and frightened, Sun Shan knew that Sun Bomin had arrived.
Sun Bomin ran over at a 100-meter sprint.
I was sitting peacefully at the tea stall drinking tea, thinking that Shanzi would come out today, so I had to see clearly who Shanzi was and greet him as soon as he came out.
As he was waiting, a firecracker suddenly went off in the examination hall. The owner of the teahouse told him that a candidate had come out and the exam was almost time.
Sun Bomin heard Shanzi say that the exam ended at 15:00 on the 4th hour of the twelfth hour, and it was only 15:00 on the 5th hour of the twelfth hour, so Shanzi should not have come out yet.
However, when the examinees came out, Sun Boming became curious and watched the yamen runners open the gate from a distance.
The moment the door was fully opened, a yamen runner appeared supporting a man. Sun Bomin had sharp eyes and saw at a glance that it was Shanzi, and his heart began to thump.
After confirming it again and again, just after a moment of hesitation, the bailiff pushed Shanzi, causing him to fall heavily onto the stone slab.
Sun Bomin was stunned. Why did this yamen runner push Shanzi? Did Shanzi commit a crime?
Zheng Hongyuan, Hong Shu, and the servants of two students, Huang Xiucai, were also dumbfounded. Why did the yamen runners push the mountain like a dead dog?
Uncle Hong is an experienced man and has seen candidates going out countless times, but this is the first time he has seen it and he was unable to react for a moment.
It was Sun Bomin, the father, who finally realized what was happening and stood up and ran to Sun Shan.
Seeing his son's eyes rolled back and his mind distracted, he looked like the idiot with a dull look in his eyes when he was a child sitting on the edge of the field.
Sun Boming was startled. Could it be that Shanzi was beaten stupid by the yamen runners?
But why did they hit him? He was clearly taking an exam, so why did they hit others?
Uncle Hong was experienced. He ran over and saw Sun Shan's situation, and immediately realized that this was the "post-test syndrome", which meant that the person was physically and mentally exhausted from doing the test questions.
Those with mild symptoms just need a few days of rest, but those with severe symptoms may die.
He has seen big scenes and all kinds of performances of candidates coming out of the examination hall.
Some have a last glimmer of life, some are dying, and some are as calm as water and turn around and jump into the river.
Shanzi's body was exhausted physically and mentally, and his vitality was greatly damaged.
He said anxiously, "Brother Bomin, quickly carry Shanzi on your back and go to the clinic to see a doctor. Go quickly, don't hesitate."
Sun Boming had an empty head and just did whatever Uncle Hong said.
Uncle Hong then said to Zheng Hongyuan, "Take your father-in-law to the clinic and take care of him. I will stay here and wait for the others to come out."
Zheng Hongyuan was also anxious. If Shanzi was like this, then his younger brother Hongwen would be even worse off than Shanzi.
In the last provincial examination, Shanzi came out looking very high-spirited, while Hongwen looked like a walking corpse.
He was really afraid that Hongwen would become like Shanzi.
He said to Uncle Hong: "Uncle Hong, please help me take care of Hongwen."
Uncle Hong nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'm here."
Uncle Hong thought that Master Hong had already fought for the fourth time, so there shouldn't be any problem. He had time to take care of Zheng Hongwen. If he couldn't take care of him, he could find a helper.
Zheng Hongyuan led Sun Boming to the clinic in panic. Sun Boming was now trembling all over and was not much better than Shanzi. He had to go and take care of him.
Because I have been to Zhangzhou Prefecture and have consulted doctors more than once.
Sun Bomin carried Sun Shan and Zheng Hongyuan on his back and quickly walked to the clinic.
As soon as he came in, he shouted, "Help, doctor, save my Shanzi."
This shout caused a commotion, but soon the place returned to calm.
When the doctor saw Sun Shan wearing a student's uniform, he knew what was going on. Every year, among so many examinees, there were always some who needed to see a doctor after they came out.
Sun Shan was quickly laid on a small wooden bed. He was attacked by a foul smell. Fortunately, the doctor was used to big scenes and thought the foul smell was nothing. He diagnosed Sun Shan with an expressionless face.
When I touched it, I cried out inwardly, it was a fever.
Seeing sweat on his forehead and the crazy hot weather outside, the experienced doctor knew right away that he had heatstroke.
I wanted to ask some questions, but the patient was in a daze and couldn't talk.
Sun Bomin was shaking all over, unable to speak clearly, and asked tremblingly: "Doctor...my...family...how is Shanzi...?"
The doctor ignored him and quickly helped Sun Shan take off his clothes.
Although Zheng Hongyuan was afraid, he still said firmly: "Doctor, my son Shanzi felt chest tightness before entering the examination room. The doctor said he had a little heat stroke."
The doctor nodded, understanding that the candidate in front of him was indeed suffering from heatstroke and high fever.
No wonder, staying in the examination hall for three days, especially three days while sick, and still being able to come out, is already considered strong.
The doctor quickly gave Sun Shan an injection and treated him immediately.
Sun Boming's eyes were red, and he held Sun Shan's hand tightly, wanting to say something but unable to.
Zheng Hongyuan saw that if his father-in-law continued like this, even if Shanzi was still fine, he would be in trouble first.
He quickly said, "Father-in-law, the doctor is treating the patient, we should not get in the way."
When Sun Bomin heard that he was obstructing the doctor's treatment, he immediately let go of his hand, fearing that his obstruction would delay Sun Shan.
Zheng Hongyuan pulled Sun Bomin aside, trying to calm him down, saying, "Father-in-law, don't worry, Shanzi is fine. He just has heatstroke, and he will be fine after the doctor sees him."
In fact, he was not sure. Shanzi's condition was really serious. The doctor had given him many injections, but he still hadn't woken up.
And Shanzi started talking nonsense, mumbling something, and I couldn't hear what he was saying.
Zheng Hongyuan was really afraid that the Shanzi people would be fine, but would become idiots when they woke up. There was a child in Zhengjia Village who had a fever and eventually became an idiot.
He looked at Sun Shan with worry, supported Sun Boming with worry, and was worried about his brother who had not yet left the examination hall.
He went to Zhangzhou Temple to ask for many talismans and donated money for incense, just praying for everything to be safe.
