In her previous life, Zhao Qingyan grew up in an orphanage. She unexpectedly activated a pocket dimension and began hoarding supplies. After spending all her savings, an accident transported her to...
He slung the book box over his shoulder and said, "Officer, this man is robbing people in the street. He must be a repeat offender. Please take him to the authorities."
When patrolling constables see someone committing robbery in the street, they naturally tie them up and take them away immediately.
Seeing the streets so congested, the constables began to help disperse the crowd.
The love of watching excitement is ingrained in the bones of the people of Shenlong Kingdom. Whenever they see a crowd gathering, they will all rush forward with their heads pointed.
As the constables dispersed the crowd, more and more people gathered on the other side.
Zhao Minggeng's strongman's attempt to clear the way failed, and Hongtang and the mule nearly went mad from fright.
The Zhao family members were squeezed so tightly in the car that they couldn't move an inch.
The situation is far too dangerous, especially since Zhao Qianci just bumped his head and it's unclear how serious the injury is.
Zhao Qingyan squinted and pondered for a moment, wondering whether to use force or noise to drive the crowd away.
My consciousness sank into the space and found the firecrackers I bought for the Chinese New Year in a corner.
It's the smallest kind; not very powerful, but loud enough.
He climbed onto the car, pretended to take out a string of firecrackers, blew on a tinderbox, unloaded a small firecracker, lit it, and threw it forcefully into the air.
The small firecrackers exploded above the crowd's heads.
One, two, three... several explosions rang out above the crowd.
Human nature, which seeks advantage and avoids harm, is revealed, and those who were desperately pushing forward before begin to retreat.
Because of the rapid evacuation, a stampede occurred during the evacuation.
The cries and shouts blended together.
Taking advantage of the chaos, the Zhao family quickly drove away from this troublesome place.
On their way back to the small courtyard they were renting, they happened to pass by Ruyi Building, so they drove to the front of Ruyi Building.
When Huang went in and gave her name, the shopkeeper, upon hearing that she was Old Lady Huang from Wufang Town, quickly came out to greet her.
They learned that the person was there to sell wild boars, and that they were selling eight at once.
The wild boar was quite large, but its death was too gruesome.
The shopkeeper was just preparing his words when Madam Huang immediately became anxious.
"Alright, do you want it or not? If not, this old woman will take it with her. My old man is waiting to see the doctor."
"Yes, yes, I want them all. Then come with me, we'll take them to the backyard," the shopkeeper said.
Ms. Huang is currently in a irritable mood.
"Don't bother unloading it in the backyard. My wife is really in a hurry right now. Just unload it at your doorstep, and you can carry it to the kitchen yourselves."
After weighing and calculating the price, they delivered it to my old woman at No. 3 Osmanthus Lane, above the door frame where a peony was carved.
After saying that, she helped the old man into the carriage and headed straight for the hospital near their home.
Zhao Qianci had only felt a headache coming on from hitting his head, but now he felt a little dizzy.
Upon arriving at the pharmacy, they took my pulse and examined the back of my head.
"Fortunately, he's alright. He's mainly suffering from heatstroke, otherwise he wouldn't be dizzy."
Don't wash his hair for the next couple of days, just wash his body with warm water. I'm prescribing medication for him; he should be better in two days. His diet should be…”
After a long explanation, the group entered the rented courtyard, feeling as if they had just escaped a famine.
There was no time to express my thoughts. The first thing I did was to settle Zhao Qianci in, and then some of us prepared medicine, some boiled water, and some cooked.
Everything was settled, and it was already past noon. Seeing that Zhao Qianci was in much better condition, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
They quickly checked their books and other belongings. Fortunately, they had entrusted important documents and other items to Zhao Qingyan for safekeeping before leaving.
Although everyone was very confused at the time, they were violently suppressed by the Huang family.
"What's wrong? Look at you all, old and young, and not much fighting ability. My dear daughter is helping you pack your things, and you still don't trust her?"
"It's safest to put it on my precious daughter. What, are you afraid she'll use your documents to take the imperial examination herself?"
And so, Zhao Qingyan entrusted everyone with the most important things.
Therefore, apart from a board being knocked off Qingbei's book box and a few books being lost, there was no other loss in the incident.
People are the most important thing to be safe.
Of course, Zhao Qianci is an exception. However, given his past bad luck in exams, this time is relatively mild. As long as he continues to be careful, Zhao Qianci should be able to enter the examination hall smoothly this time.
As for whether anything unexpected will happen inside the examination hall, it's hard to say; for now, we can only pray.
Speaking of Ruyilou, a wild boar mountain suddenly appeared in front of the store, which is quite spectacular.
These blood-soaked wild boars certainly couldn't be taken directly from the main hall to the backyard, so the shopkeeper, Han Santong, quickly ordered someone to pull a cart from the backyard to the front gate.
The commotion at the shop entrance disturbed the people in the private rooms upstairs.
When the whirlwind peeked out and saw the wild boar mountain in front of the restaurant, it paused for a moment.
“Master, there are many wild boars down there. The way they died looks a lot like the ones we encountered on the road before.”
The man in brocade raised an eyebrow, quite surprised, and stood up to look downstairs.
"Yes, that should be it. Go and call Han Santong, and ask him who delivered the wild boar."
A whirlwind appeared in response. When the whirlwind returned, all the detailed information about the Zhao family was presented to the man in brocade robes without any omissions.
"Interesting, what a coincidence. The Zhao family is truly special."
They drop it off and leave without asking the price or weight, not even worried about not getting paid.
Whirlwind hesitated for a moment,
“Master, Han Santong said that his old man is anxious to see a doctor, as if he is injured. But when we met, he was clearly fine.”
"Hmm, go and find out what happened. Logically speaking, how could their family's fighting skills have managed to injure the old man? When did Qingyang County acquire such a master?"
At the beginning of the hour of You (5-7 PM), someone knocked on the door of the No. 3 Guihuaxiang courtyard. The visitor was none other than Han Santong from Ruyilou in Qingyang County, accompanied by an old doctor who looked like a highly skilled physician.
After exchanging pleasantries, they took out the silver from selling the wild boars. Eight wild boars, totaling 1733 catties, were sold at 30 wen each, for a total of 51 taels and 990 wen. Han Santong rounded it up and delivered 52 taels of silver.
Han Santong was somewhat surprised to learn that the Zhao family had come to participate in the county examination. For ordinary farming families, it was already a remarkable achievement to be able to support one or two people to study.
Interesting. If girls weren't barred from taking the imperial examinations, this whole family would probably be attending school together.
The doctor first examined Zhao Qianci and took his pulse to confirm that there was nothing wrong. He then reviewed the prescription given by the previous doctor and confirmed that the medicine was fine and that he could take it normally.
I took the pulses of the others and found no other problems, just a slight case of internal heat. They didn't need medicine, just more soup.
That evening, pear and lotus seed soup was served on the students' tables.
This day was truly unforgettable for the Zhao family.
