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

Chapter 50

 Lin Chengmo just arrived at the door of Shen's second room, and the two puppies that Shen's raised before rushed out aggressively one after the other. The puppy grows really fast, it hasn't been long, and it has grown up twice in the blink of an eye. The ferocious appearance of each of them baring their teeth is really a bit shocking.

Lin Chengmo was taken aback by this scene, and while stepping back, he shouted to the yard: "Hey? Is there anyone at home? Xiaosheng Lin Chengmo is Shen Chenyu's classmate and friend..."

Lin Chengmo is always polite on weekdays Yes, I care about my own image the most. But now that he was frightened by the two dogs, he couldn't care less about his dignity.

The Shen Liu family was in the yard, and came out when they heard the movement outside, just in time to see the scene of Lin Chengmo being frightened. Shen Liu hurriedly called out to the dogs, and when the two dogs had returned to the yard, she opened her mouth with a face of embarrassment.

"I'm really sorry. The two puppies at home are a bit fierce. Are you okay, little brother?"

Lin Chengmo hurriedly waved his hands when he heard the words. He looked at Shen Liushi's and Shen Chenyu's faces, and thought to himself Seeing that this person should be Shen Chenyu's mother, he quickly explained his intentions for coming here.

As soon as she heard that the other party brought them a letter from home, Shen Liushi couldn't hide the joy on her face. Shen Chenyu has been away for such a long time, and Shen Liushi has always missed him in his heart.

Originally, Mrs. Shen Liu wanted to invite him into the house to have a rest, but Lin Chengmo was scared by the dogs of the second bedroom of Shen's family. In addition, Mrs. Shen Liu's family was either a widow or a young husband. A strange man like him should not go in for comparison. it is good.

Shen Liu also understood his concerns, so instead of forcing him to stay, he sent him out of the village with a look of guilt.

Now is the time for spring plowing, and most of the villagers in Xiling Village are working in the fields. Seeing Shen Liushi sending a person out of the village from a distance, some people couldn't help but craned their necks curiously.

Lin Chengmo was dressed as a scholar, and everyone vaguely guessed the identity of the other party. It should be Shen Chenyu who participated in the county examination. There is news.

So when Shen Liushi sent people away, several women who had a good relationship with Shen Liushi asked Shen Liushi curiously.

"Caixiang, is there any news from your brother Yu?"

"Yes, yes, I think that person just now seems to be a scholar. Did our brother Yu pass the county test this time, otherwise why hasn't he come back now? Huh?"

Shen Liushi shook her head when she heard the words, Lin Chengmo didn't look at the final red list, so she didn't know if Shen Chenyu passed in the end. But she has a letter from Shen Chenyu in her hand, and it is estimated that there will be answers she wants to know in the letter.

What made Shen Liushi a headache was that Shen Liushi didn't know many characters, and Mu Linting, who was literate, was blind, so she still had to find someone who could read letters to help her.

Shen Liushi hesitated for a moment, then turned around and went directly to Uncle Shen's house. With her temperament, she is unwilling to come here. Even if the relationship between the two families is good now, she still can't get along with Uncle Shen's family normally. This time, if it wasn't for the letter from the family, Mrs. Shen Liu wouldn't have taken the initiative to come to the old house.

When Shen Liushi came to Uncle Shen's house, the uncle who was sitting in the yard holding the soles of her shoes was stunned for a moment, and then called Shen Liushi to come in and talk.

Shen Liushi asked as she walked into the yard: "Ah, are you at home today?"

As soon as the auntie heard her words, she knew that the other party had something to do with the Shen family. It's a pity that the other party didn't come by such a coincidence, the Shen family had just been called away by members of the clan.

Seeing this, Shen Liushi could only turn to ask if Uncle Shen was there, and by the way, explained the reason for coming here. Her sister-in-law is narrow-minded, if she doesn't make things clear in advance, she will definitely not be able to help thinking about it given her temperament. "The child's father is not here. He ran to the field just now, and he probably won't come back for a while. If the siblings

don't mind, let my family, A Yao, take a look at it for you?"

He has studied in the school in the village for a year. Although he can't say that he knows every word, he still knows most of the words.

Shen Liushi was thinking about the vegetable garden at home, so she nodded when she heard the words, and handed the letter in her arms to the other party.

The auntie was a little excited when she saw this, and while carefully opening the letter, she turned her head and shouted into the room. "Ah Yao, come out quickly, come out quickly!"

Shen Jiayao was putting on makeup in the room, when he heard a voice responding, he walked outside in a leisurely manner. As a result, he hadn't walked out of the room when he saw his mother rushing over anxiously.

Shen Jiayao was taken aback by the other party, before he could ask her what's the matter, his mother said anxiously: "Quickly, read the letter for your second aunt."

Read the letter? which letter?

Before Shen Jiayao understood what was going on, his mother stuffed a letter into his hand. He quickly scanned the contents of the letter, and only then did he understand what the situation was like now.

Shen Chenyu's letter was well written, and he didn't know many words on it. In order not to let people find out that he didn't know many characters, Shen Jiayao didn't hold the letter and read every word, but roughly explained the content of the letter to Shen Liushi.

"Ahem, my cousin said in the letter that if he passes the last county examination, he will go directly to Fucheng with Master and the others. Because they will take the government examination in April, so they don't have time to come back and talk to everyone Announcement. I also said... don't worry at home, he will bring you gifts when he comes back."

Shen Jiayao couldn't help feeling a little sour as he spoke. Especially when he saw the last sentence, which was obviously meant for Mu Linting, Shen Jiayao was too embarrassed to say it for the other party.

Shen Liushi breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, but at the same time couldn't help but feel happy for Shen Chenyu. She was actually quite worried about Shen Chenyu before, but now that she heard that the other party's county test was likely to pass, and now she is probably on her way to Fucheng, Shen Liushi felt that Shen Chenyu's previous efforts were not in vain.

After sending Shen Liushi away, Shen Jiayao couldn't help curling her lips and said, "My cousin has a really strange mind. There are so many good women and good brothers who don't want it. Why did he fall in love with such an ugly brother?" Son? He usually looks very smart, why would he be stupid in this kind of thing." The

auntie was startled when she heard this, and hurriedly lowered her voice to stop: "What nonsense are you talking about? Be careful that your grandma will overhear you. , I'll break your leg when the time comes."

Shen Jiayao's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and she hurriedly glanced at grandma's room secretly, and swallowed back the words that came to her lips.

At the same time, on the other side, Shen Liu quickly returned home, and then told Mu Linting about the letter. After listening to her words, Mu Linting responded, then silently lowered his head and continued to work.

Seeing his silent appearance, Shen Liushi couldn't help sighing slightly in her heart. Ever since she ran into Shen Chenyu getting close to him, every time Shen Liushi got along with Mu Linting, she always felt a little embarrassed in her heart.

In addition, Mu Linting has a taciturn personality. If Shen Liushi hadn't gotten to know him a little bit, she would probably have thought that he was deliberately ignoring her. Fortunately, Shen Liushi has a good temper, no matter how the two of them get together, they won't get into trouble.

When Shen Liushi entered the house with the letter, Mu Linting paused in chopping firewood, feeling a little lost in his heart for no reason. The other party specially sent a letter home, don't you have anything to say to him?

Mu Linting, who was thinking like this, pursed his lips tightly, and suddenly split the firewood in front of him with force. Because he used a little bit of strength, the wooden blocks under the firewood were all split.

...

Shen Chenyu was lying on the carriage drowsy, but for some reason, she shivered suddenly, and suddenly woke up from the daze.

Chen Youli, who was sitting next to Shen Chenyu, quickly reached out and patted Shen Chenyu's shoulder, and asked worriedly: "What's wrong with you? Have you had a nightmare?"

Shen Chenyu shook his head subconsciously, and after shaking, he couldn't help but nodded again, making Chen Youli and the others look helpless. Shen Chenyu doesn't know what's wrong with her, it's just... suddenly she seems to be frightened by something.

After Shen Chenyu woke up, she couldn't fall asleep. He opened the curtain on the side and looked outside, only to find that it was raining again for some reason.

The spring rain is as thin as a cow's hair, and it is floating in the air, adding a touch of haze to the surrounding inexplicably. Especially under such a gray sky, everything in front of me doesn't look very real.

Seeing this situation, a senior brother at the side couldn't help shaking his head and recited the poem. The poem he recited was the work of a contemporary master, and it really has a bit of elegance when matched with the scenery at this time.

In the evening, the rain outside became heavier and heavier, and the caravan had to find a place to hide from the rain. However, there was no place to stay in the surrounding area. The people in the caravan searched around for a long time, and finally found a dilapidated temple when it was dark.

As soon as Shen Chenyu saw such a dilapidated temple, she couldn't help but think of some stories in the scriptures. Since most of the writers of story books in this era are down-and-out scholars from poor families, the protagonists of most stories are also scholars.

For example, in order to avoid the rain, a scholar stayed overnight in a dilapidated temple, and was followed by a beautiful female ghost. For example, a down-and-out scholar accidentally saves someone, but the other party is actually a certain princess or noble daughter. Another example is that a scholar meets an ascetic monk, accidentally drinks the drink given by the other party, and then dreams back to a hundred years later, etc. overnight.

Shen Chenyu was thinking wildly while holding the bookcase and followed the large army into the temple. After they finally cleaned up, a group of people had already started a simple meal around the fire.

There is a lot of food in Shen Chenyu's space. When he knew that he was going directly to Fucheng, he specially prepared a lot of food for himself. But now that everyone is sitting together, it is inconvenient for him to just take it out and eat it like this, so he can only eat dry steamed buns in cold water with everyone.

They paid to follow the caravan, so they didn't have to watch the night when they were resting at night. Naturally, two people in the caravan would stay on watch. So Shen Chenyu yawned slightly, and packed out a clean and comfortable haystack to rest.

Just when Shen Chenyu was half asleep and half awake, Shen Chenyu woke up again with a shiver. Shen Chenyu thought that he had caught a cold, and when he was thinking of making a pack of cold medicine to drink, he vaguely heard someone whispering outside the temple.

Shen Chenyu glanced at the temple strangely, seeing that the two guards were not there, and he didn't know what kind of strange psychology he was in, so he couldn't help but took two steps outside cautiously.

Just when Shen Chenyu took the third step, he heard a woman's low and weak voice. "Masters, the little girl is really not a bad person, she just wants to go to the temple to hide from the rain when she encounters heavy rain on her way."

No, a woman's voice?

In the middle of the night, and in the wilderness, how could there be a woman?

Shen Chenyu was still thinking about the storybook before, when she suddenly heard a woman's voice in the middle of the night, she subconsciously felt that she had met a ghost. Otherwise, which girl would have the courage to come to a temple in the wilderness at such a time?
