Chapter 436: The First Provincial Examination Ends
The next morning, the officials brought breakfast again. Sun Shan was not hungry and could not eat, but he had to eat.
Fortunately, what was delivered was rice porridge, which I gulped down with the pickles. As for the fried noodles that came with the dish, I couldn't even eat them.
The morning was slightly cool and the breeze was comfortable, but in less than a minute someone else came to the toilet.
After hearing the sound of diarrhea, Sun Shan's stomach, which had just been full, tried hard to hold back the urge to vomit. Fortunately, he did not have a weak stomach, otherwise he would have vomited all the yellow bile out.
I quickly picked up the cooling oil and rubbed it on my nose, chest, and throat again and again. Only then did the nausea subside slightly.
Sun Shan looked at the candidates going to the toilet expressionlessly, and these candidates all looked at Sun Shan at the same time.
He was so scared by Sun Shan's vicious eyes that they ran away in panic.
However, some candidates were too inhumane. They did not retreat at all when faced with Sun Shan's resentful look. Instead, they covered their mouths and smiled as they walked away.
The Chaozhou guy next door looked at Sun Shan with a sullen face, as if he had lost all hope in life, and pursed his lips.
Then he sat in the room like Sun Shan, looking at the candidates coming and going with the same viciousness as Sun Shan.
Sun Shan was upset, and so was the Chaozhou guy. Not to mention the second brother, their situations were pretty much the same.
Sun Shan waited until he was sure that no one was coming and continued to do the questions.
If you draw a bad number, not only will it be bad, but you will also be frequently disturbed.
The candidates went in and out of the toilet, and even though they were repeatedly warned by the officials not to make any noise, it was impossible for them to do so.
The noise caused by the coming in and out made Sun Shan even more desperate.
No matter what, Sun Shan continued to do the questions.
I plan to finish the remaining three questions from the Five Classics, so that I can rest tomorrow and don’t need to do any more questions.
If you don’t have to do any exercises, your performance won’t be affected.
I don’t know how much time had passed, but when noon came, the officials came to deliver food again.
It’s still white rice with braised pork, a vegetable, and a bowl of soup.
This time, Sun Shan didn’t think the braised pork rice was delicious at all. It was especially mushy and disgusting.
Sun Shan quickly closed his eyes, ate the vegetables and drank the soup without caring about anything else, and then he didn't eat anymore.
I swallowed these two things, and I endured it again and again, barely able to prevent myself from feeling nauseous.
He quickly took out the cooling oil, and his head instantly felt refreshed.
Sun Shan decided that no matter what exams he would take in the future, cooling oil would be at the top of his must-bring list.
He felt that he was able to survive because of the cooling oil.
I continued to do the questions in the afternoon, but the hot weather made my head swell, and I had a headache and a buzzing sound from time to time.
Sun Shan really admired himself for being able to hold the brush firmly and write down what he thought.
He finished a Five Classics question in the morning, prepared for one in the afternoon, and then did another one in the evening, so he had completed the first round perfectly.
Sun Shan said to himself in his heart: "Sun Shan, you are the best!"
Through self-encouragement, self-hypnosis and self-psychological suggestion, Sun Shan wrote the questions with great concentration.
After I finished writing, the officials came to deliver food.
Fortunately, dinner was no longer braised pork rice, but meat pie rice.
Sun Shan didn't eat much for lunch, so he had to finish his meal at night, otherwise he would be hungry.
This time when he came in, he brought some candy with him, planning to eat it if he was really hungry.
It would be nice to have some chocolate, it would give me more energy.
Night fell gradually, but Sun Shan did not continue working on the questions, waiting until late at night to do them.
After waiting for a while, I saw the candidates coming to the toilet again. After two days and one night of torture, the candidates became more and more shabby, with disheveled hair and naked upper bodies. Some of them had untidy beards if they didn't shave for a day, and they looked almost like homeless people outside.
The provincial examination is quite perverted, so the candidates who can pass it are truly perverted among perverts.
To achieve good results in such a perverted environment, only a pervert can do it.
The night is quiet and it is time for Sun Shan to do his homework.
Sun Shan took a tampon, coated it with cooling oil, and stuffed it into his nostrils. He was immediately hit by a cool sensation.
The flash of inspiration comes to me, like the moment when the little match girl lights a match, and I get a few seconds of clarity.
Sun Shan immediately seized this brief moment of glory and wrote an article.
Oh, success often depends on just a moment, and Sun Shan thought he had seized it successfully.
By the time he finished writing, it was already dawn. Sun Shan could no longer bear it after working all night, so he put down the wooden board, pulled the door curtain, and forced himself to sleep.
It was unknown how long it had been before the door curtain was opened without any warning. Seeing that Sun Shan was still able to move, the officer put down his breakfast and left.
Sun Shan did not have breakfast, but caught up with lunch.
This is the third day of the provincial examination, and the papers will be collected at 5 pm.
Sun Shan took a few mouthfuls of rice and quickly took out his answer sheet to check for any omissions.
The most important thing is to avoid any taboo words or meanings.
Only after he was sure that there was no problem did Sun Shan breathe a sigh of relief.
By the time I had put the test questions and papers in order, it was already around 3 p.m.
Don't ask Sun Shan how he knew the time. Firstly, he could estimate it by the weather, and secondly, someone would ring the bell to remind him.
Every time the bell rings, it reminds the candidates to answer the questions quickly, as time is running out and the papers will be collected soon.
Time passed little by little, and the last bell rang, signaling that everyone should put down their pens and wait for the staff to collect the test papers.
Soon, someone arrived, and when they got to Sun Shan, his disgust was obvious.
The worker's hands were very fast. He quickly collected Sun Shan's test questions, test papers, and draft papers, and then ran away as if a ghost had hit him on the back of his head.
Sun Shan looked at the staff speechlessly. He also knew that this place was a "restricted area" and a "toxic area", so why was it designed like this?
It's hard to believe that he has been in the stinking cell for three days, while the staff only stayed there for three minutes.
People are more mad than people.
During these three days, Sun Shan saw officials and examiners coming to patrol, but those people stopped at the Chaozhou man next door, and then returned in a pretentious manner.
Their disgust was evident in their words, and Sun Shan felt desperate.
After the test papers were collected, a bell rang and the Chaozhou guy next door shouted: "Duwudui~~~"
In an instant he lifted the board and ran out.
Sun Shan was stunned and wanted to say: I haven't even run away, why are you running?
Then Sun Shan also ran out and hurried to the place farthest from the toilet.
Looking at the panting neighbor, I saw despair in both of their eyes.
The provincial examination was held every three days, with time between each session for activities, during which students could move freely in their respective rooms.
Similarly, the toilet is cleaned every three days.
After Sun Shan ran out, staff came hurriedly to clean up.
The Chaozhou guy ran over and said, "Please clean it up thoroughly, and there will be a reward when you get out."
The Yexianglangs were overjoyed. They had originally wanted to just do a perfunctory job, but now that they had a reward, they would definitely serve well.
As for how to pay, it’s just like the “Water and Fire Fu”, who will give you a receipt and ask you to pay after you finish.
Sun Shan's eyes were red and moist as he looked at the candidate from Chaozhou. He gave him a reward of 2 taels of silver. He must be a wealthy man.
