The thin young man in a green shirt with a gentle temperament looked at the man in front of him silently.

In the suffocating silence, Chu Qi slowly smiled and took the wine gourd handed over by Zhang Shiyang:

"Actually, I'm not angry, but since you've already bought the wine, I'll accept it so it doesn't go to waste."

She had no intention of inviting Zhang Shiyang in to sit down. After placing the wine gourd on the table, Chu Qi wrapped a walnut cake in oil paper and gave it to him:

"I don't have anything good to give you, so I'll just give you a little snack. I hope Brother Zhang won't mind."

Zhang Shiyang laughed and said, "Thank you, Brother Ye. I will go back first and not disturb you."

Chu Qi smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, I wish you success in the exam this time."

....

Zhang Shiyang went downstairs holding the oil-paper bag, walked out the door, and turned several streets. He looked at the oil-paper bag in his hand with an uncertain expression.

Perhaps it was because he had acted first. Looking at the walnut cakes in the oil paper package, he also felt that there might be something drugged inside.

But then he thought again, Ye Qingyun didn't know that he would come to see him today, so how could he have done something in advance?

And it seems like Brother Ye also ate a lot of this walnut crisp...

It shouldn't harm anyone.

I started to feel uncertain.

The walnut cake tastes really tempting, and I first gave Ye Qingyun a gourd of wine, which cost a lot of money, so I felt bad. It would be nice to eat this walnut cake to get some of the money back...

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Shiyang pinched off a small piece and threw it to the passing puppy.

Only after seeing with his own eyes that the puppy had no problem eating it did he feel at ease and eat the whole piece.

....

On the other side, Chu Qi put the wine gourd aside and ignored it. He ate three pieces of walnut cakes and left two.

As the final exam approached, although Chu Qi's "academic master dream" white-bearded old teacher was sure to say that he could pass, he still couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

She held the book and began a new round of recitation.

The yellow and white rural cat, which had been out for a long time, jumped onto Chu Qi's window before the sun set, holding a mouse in its mouth.

The big round eyes looked at Chu Qi.

This is not the first time that Maomao has given a mouse to Chuqi.

Probably because the cat had eaten Chu Qi's food, it always brought back mice, and it seemed that it wanted to treat Chu Qi to meat.

I was rejected several times before.

This time, Chu Qi looked at the mouse and suddenly smiled, "Good cat, give me the mouse."

The yellow and white cat jumped down lightly, took graceful cat steps, and delivered the mouse in its mouth to Chu Qi's hand.

This kind of mouse was about half the size of Chu Qi's palm, and its body was plump. Except for its sticky fur, it had no wounds on its body.

But its whole body was stiff, as if it was about to ascend to heaven, probably because it was frightened by Huang Bai.

"Good cat, this is for you." Chu Qi handed the remaining two pieces of walnut cakes to the yellow and white cat.

The yellow and white cat held its tail high, meowed happily, and then started eating in small bites.

"Good Rat, this is for you."

Chu Qi opened the wine gourd, pinched the neck of the pretending-to-be-dead mouse, and gave it a sip of wine.

The mouse wanted to struggle, but the cat next to it just called out, and the mouse straightened its limbs again, not daring to move.

The feeding went smoothly. Chu Qi fed it three more mouthfuls, then asked the waiter to borrow an iron cage for catching mice, put the mouse in it, and wrapped it underneath with the leftover oil paper.

Soon, the mouse began to squeak, and then kept spitting out black beans from behind its butt.

That is...

Pull it.

Wow, there really is something wrong with the alcohol, a laxative?

Or croton?

Chu Qi simply kept her distance from this wine. It seemed that Zhang Shiyang had bad intentions.

The original owner was not an alcoholic, but he also did not completely avoid drinking. He would definitely not be able to resist drinking if given the chance.

It seems that there were problems with the things Zhang Shiyang sent twice before.

Chu Qi frowned, gave the waiter a two-cent tip, and asked him to take down the iron cage and the rat and clean them up.

The waiter frowned as he looked at the rat twitching in the cage and asked curiously, "Sir, is this rat poisoned?"

"It's not poisoned, I just gave it some alcohol."

Chu Qi said.

The waiter looked like I didn't understand but I didn't dare to say more:

"Sir, you are really...very elegant."

Feeding mice alcohol?

This is the first time I’ve seen you in my life.

.....

On the day of the examination, Zhang Shiyang searched for Ye Qingyun in the crowd.

He gave Ye Qingyun so much wine the day before, and he put croton powder in it.

No matter whether you are strong or not, you will have diarrhea if you drink it.

After looking around, I finally spotted Ye Qingyun in an inconspicuous corner.

Zhang Shiyang looked at him carefully, but found nothing wrong with him. He seemed to be in good health.

What’s the matter? Didn’t you eat?

He felt a little depressed.

.....

To enter the examination site, you had to take off all your clothes for inspection to prevent anyone from bringing in any cheating information.

In addition, you are also very particular about what you bring. You are not allowed to bring heavy clothes in case there is something hidden inside.

But food and drink are not so particular, candidates can bring food freely.

Chu Qi followed the crowd and lined up for inspection.

After the inspection, she put her clothes back on, took her things, and followed the soldier into her examination room.

After the exam starts, you are not allowed to move around freely, but if you need to go to the toilet, you can raise your hand and ask the examiner to take you there. The whole process must be under the supervision of the examiner.

The toilets are very close to some examination halls.

Some candidates who were unfortunate enough to be selected to sit near toilets had to suffer a lot. They had to endure the smell of toilets during the five examinations over six days.
