Cannon fodder Gong Just Wants To Take The Imperial Examination [MTL]

Chapter 29

Shen Chenyu has seen real lunatics, they don't have the so-called protection in their brains, and they can't tell who is their own and who is a bandit. What's more, it is impossible for a lunatic to grow up so big by himself without anyone taking care of him. Probably either fell into the river and drowned, or encountered danger on the mountain and disappeared. It is impossible to live in peace and stability for so many years.

Shen Chenyu vaguely felt that this child was probably not a lunatic, he was just protecting himself in this way. As for why he wanted to protect himself, Shen Chenyu thought of Shen Liushi saying that he was an orphan, his mother was an unruly woman, and he himself was a little brother.

Under such circumstances, some people will not only look at him with colored glasses, but also feel that like a mother, like a son. Some hooligans with evil intentions would use his mother as an unfeminine woman as an excuse to try their best to touch his little brother.

In fact, Shen Chenyu guessed well, and even the facts were even worse than what he guessed. No matter how simple and honest the people of Xiling Village are, it is impossible for everyone to be kind. Just like most people in Qishan Village are powerful and treacherous, but there are also kind people like Aunt Yang and Yang Jiashuan.

There are also two unscrupulous hooligans in Xiling Village. The common characteristic of the two of them is that they have no family at the age of thirty or forty. Wandering among several villages every day, either playing cats and dogs or bullying other girls and brothers.

These two people have provoked crazy kids in the past. At that time, the crazy boy was very young, and he was almost succeeded by them several times.

One of the local ruffians was very bad-tempered. Seeing that the crazy boy had escaped several times, he wanted to break his legs before dragging him home. In the end, when he hit people, he was not serious or serious, causing the crazy kid to hit the ground with his head. Looking at the crazy boy lying lifeless in a pool of blood, the man turned and ran away in fear of getting killed.

It was also from that time that rumors began to circulate in the village that the crazy boy had gone crazy. No matter the person with malicious intentions or the person who took care of him, he will be attacked indiscriminately by the madman.

Over time, no one dared to provoke him, not even those two ruffians. It wasn't that the two of them suddenly realized their conscience, but that the crazy boy was very scary when he became crazy. The crazy boy would compete with the wild dogs in the village for food, and even killed a wolf with his hands and teeth.

Such a lunatic like a wild beast, although he successfully prevented the evil people from coming to his door, at the same time, he also turned away the good people.

...

Probably because he knew he was going to die, or because the process of waiting for death was too hopeless? The madman looked numbly at Shen Chenyu standing under the tree. The moment Shen Chenyu stretched out his hands towards him, for the first time...for the first time, all the pretense and strength faded away, and he wanted to trust him to find help from each other.

He doesn't know what he thinks, these years he has really lived too hard, and it is too lonely to persevere aimlessly. So lonely... He almost forgot how to speak, and even the feelings he should have as a person.

In fact, at this moment, even if the person who comes is not Shen Chenyu but someone else, as long as the other party can show a little kindness towards him when he is most vulnerable, the crazy boy will choose to trust the other party without hesitation.

It wasn't that he suddenly thought about it, but his instinct to survive when his life was dying. Even though he himself doesn't want to live, his body instinctively wants to live.

...

Shen Chenyu saw that the crazy boy was about to get down from the tree, and when the other party came down, he reached out to help him. What shocked Shen Chenyu was that the child looked tall but was so thin that only a handful of bones remained. He just stretched out his hand and gently dragged it, then hugged the frivolous lunatic down.

The other party did not grin at Shen Chenyu to express hostility as before, but instead leaned in his arms with a blank and dependent face. This made Shen Chenyu even more certain that the crazy kid was really pretending to be crazy and foolish every day to protect himself.

Although he didn't know what the crazy boy had encountered, but he could force a child to pretend to be crazy for so long, the previous experience of the crazy boy must be very unbearable.

Shen Chenyu only remembered at this time that although the crazy boy is still very young, the other party is a little brother. It's not good for him to hold each other all the time as a man, so Shen Chenyu let him sit on the tree, planning to look at the wound on the crazy boy's leg first.

After seeing the mad boy's injury clearly, Shen Chenyu didn't have time to worry about whether it was suitable or not, and she was about to reach out and hug the mad boy down the mountain. In the end, before he could pick him up, the lunatic who was already groggy completely passed out.

One of the lunatic's legs was dripping with blood, the wound spread from the knee to the ankle, and a piece of flesh was directly torn off the calf. Under such circumstances, even if he survived by chance, it will be very difficult for him to walk normally in the future.

Shen Chenyu felt that he was in big trouble, and wondered if the crazy boy could persist until he went down the mountain? If the crazy kid died on the way down the mountain, how would Shen Chenyu explain it to the people in Xiling Village?

If the crazy kid himself is gone, he will be gone, and the people in Xiling Village won't particularly mind. But if Shen Chenyu carried him down the mountain, and the crazy kid died suddenly on the way, Shen Chenyu would not be able to pass the test without explaining.

Shen Chenyu hesitated for a moment, thinking that Mu Linting was injured so badly before, was he rescued by his medicine? Immediately, he calmed down, and quickly took out a lot of things from the space.

These medicines and bandages were all prepared for Mu Linting before. Now Mu Linting's injury is almost healed, but it's cheaper for this crazy boy.

The medicines in Shen Chenyu's hands are all good things, which are quicker and more convenient than the wound medicines of this era. After he helped the mad boy to heal the injury on his leg, the mad boy's condition improved a lot after taking anti-inflammatory drugs and painkillers.

Afterwards, Shen Chenyu rummaged around in the basket, and found some hemostatic grass. Shen Chenyu didn't know the other herbs, but he knew a little about the hemostatic grass.

He smashed the hemostatic grass, and simply applied it to the crazy boy's wound. In this way, even if the lunatic is awake, he will only think that these herbs saved him, and will not find other clues because of this.

When it was getting dark, the mad boy woke up under the effect of the medicine. On the way, Shen Chenyu fed him medicine again, and seeing that the crazy boy didn't have a high fever, Shen Chenyu's mission was successfully completed.

Afterwards, he took the crazy boy down the mountain. After waking up, the crazy boy remained very quiet, like a dirty doll.

Shen Chenyu sent him back to his little hut, then put a few vegetable dumplings in the hut, and left quietly taking advantage of the night outside.

Shen Chenyu felt that as a stranger, it was his utmost benevolence to help the other party. As for how the crazy kid will live in the future, Shen Chenyu should not worry about the rest.

After another four or five days like this, Shen Chenyu didn't notice any changes in the crazy boy. Until the noon of the sixth day, Shen Chenyu saw the crazy boy again.

The other party and Shen Chenyu met face to face, and they pretended not to see each other very tacitly, as if the lunatic was still the same lunatic, and Shen Chenyu had never rescued each other on the mountain. This saves Shen Chenyu a lot of trouble, and at the same time, it can be regarded as keeping the madman's secret.

...

This morning, Shen Chenyu was called by the second grandpa, saying that he had found a very good wife for him. The second grandpa asked Erniu to take him to the town, and wanted Shen Chenyu to visit the master first.

In fact, it is said that he is going to visit the master, but it is better to say that the master wants to consider Shen Chenyu. After all, Shen Chenyu is not young anymore. Generally, the students who take part in the children's examination are relatively young, and there are very few people at Shen Chenyu's age who only apprenticed to teachers.

The other party wants to test Shen Chenyu's knowledge, the most important thing is to look at Shen Chenyu's character. Because the imperial examination guarantees each other and adopts the cheating and sitting system, if he recruits a student with bad conduct, it will not only hurt his reputation but also harm other students.

Shen Chenyu also understood this, so she went to the town without saying a word. This master's surname is Liu, and he is the only granary student in their town. The other party opened a private school in the town, and now there are more than twenty students.

If Mr. Liu hadn't had some friendship with the second great-grandfather, he really didn't want to recruit a student like Shen Chenyu. Because students like Shen Chenyu have a fixed character when they get older, they are not as easy to teach as ignorant children who start from scratch.

There are even some people who are more thoughtful, thinking that after studying for a few years, they will be a little smug. This kind of students are not only difficult to discipline, but also like to contradict their teachers.

However, what Liu Fuzi didn't expect was that after he saw Shen Chenyu himself, all the original worries disappeared.

Shen Chenyu not only has a good foundation in knowledge, but also has first-class appearance and character. Such a person is like a dragon and phoenix at first glance. If it wasn't for Shen Chenyu's family's sudden change, it wouldn't be the turn of Mrs. Liu, a young student, to teach her.

Shen Chenyu told Master Liu about her situation in detail. He didn't hide his intention to end next year, and at the same time, he also got a thorough understanding of his previous situation.

If Master Liu refused to accept Shen Chenyu as a student because he was afraid of the Shen family in Qingcheng County, Shen Chenyu would not blame the other party for his choice. Everyone has the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and he was not taught by Dr. Liu since he was a child, so he really shouldn't take risks for him.

To Shen Chenyu's surprise, after listening to his words, Dr. Liu immediately finalized the date of apprenticeship. The other party was not afraid of the Shen family in Qingcheng County at all, but said to Shen Chenyu with a positive face: "The old man doesn't have any great skills, it just depends on how good his eyesight is, you child will have great promise in the future. Today the old man is just I made it easy for you, if you can really rise to the top in the future, this old man will still be honored by you."

Shen Chenyu saluted immediately after hearing the words, although the other party really just reached out to help him, but this He will not forget his kindness easily.

After solving a major matter at once, Shen Chenyu sent a thank-you gift to the second great-grandfather when she returned home, and then began to prepare for the apprenticeship ceremony.

It stands to reason that he and Master Liu are not real masters and apprentices, he just borrowed Master Liu's identity and student. But as the saying goes, it is not surprising that many people are polite, and Shen Chenyu feels that it is still necessary to have the proper etiquette.

While Shen Chenyu was busy preparing for the apprentice ceremony, Mu Linting was chopping firewood in the yard that evening, and vaguely felt a line of sight from outside the yard. Before Mu Linting put down the ax in his hand and went out, someone outside suddenly threw something at him, and then the little figure ran away with a limp.

Although Mu Linting couldn't see anything, but because he knew martial arts, he still found it with his ears. At first, Mu Linting thought it was the children in the village who were naughty, and then wrapped something in a rag and threw it in.

After he stretched out his hand to unwrap the wrapped rag, he touched the contents in his hand from memory, a trace of surprise flashed in his dull eyes.
