The sound came from the classmate sitting on her left.
Ning Xiyue looked over when she heard the sound and saw that at least eight of her ten fingers had frostbite, and were red and swollen. Now the frostbite on the index and middle fingers of her right hand had cracked, and blood and pus were flowing out, making her entire hand a bloody mess, which was a bit scary.
The girl's other hand, which was not bleeding, was searching her pocket, but it was inconvenient and she couldn't take anything out.
Suddenly, she was glad that she could make frostbite cream, which prevented her hands from getting frostbite and minimized the impact of this external factor on her.
Ning Xiyue rummaged through her purse, took out two pieces of paper and handed them over.
"Thank you, thank you."
The girl took the paper and wiped the blood from her hand, then wrapped the wound with the paper. However, the wound was too big, and the blood and pus soaked the paper in an instant.
Seeing this, Ning Xiyue started taking out paper from her pocket again.
The invigilator standing at the door noticed something was wrong with the two of them and came over. Seeing the chilblains on the girl's hands bleeding, he looked a little worried for her.
"Can this student persist?"
"Thank you, teacher. I can do it. I must take the exam." The girl's eyes were filled with a strong desire to take the exam, and her eyes were full of a desperate madness.
The invigilator took a look and took out a handkerchief from his body, wanting to tear a piece of cloth from it to bandage her.
The girl stopped the teacher and said, "Thank you for your kindness, teacher. No need to tear it. I don't want to bandage my hand for now. I'm afraid it will affect my answering speed. I'll just leave it like this. I have a handkerchief in my pocket. Please help me find it."
The girl turned her body to the left side towards the invigilator, who helped her take out the handkerchief from her pocket. At the same time, the teacher was afraid that her fingers would bleed badly while writing, so he also left his handkerchief to her.
"Take this handkerchief and wipe it when it bleeds and pus comes out."
"Thank you, teacher."
The girl remained strong except for the muffled sound she heard at the beginning.
Ning Xiyue admired her perseverance and took the exam while bleeding.
So she raised her hand.
"Teacher, there's a frostbite cream in the little army green bag I left outside. It's very effective for treating frostbite, especially for stopping bleeding and itching. The exam isn't even started yet, so could you please get it and wipe this student's hand? It's not a good idea to have this hand bleeding constantly. If it gets serious, you could easily faint, which would really affect the exam."
The girl next to her felt her kindness, looked at Ning Xiyue with tears in her eyes, and said thank you to Ning Xiyue with a choked voice.
The bleeding chilblains on her hands did not make this strong girl cry, but Ning Xiyue's actions made her tearful.
In fact, the biggest reason was that she and the girl were sitting too close, and Ning Xiyue was afraid that it would affect her own exam when it started.
But I won’t mention this little reason.
"No need to thank me, it's a small matter." Ning Xiyue waved her hand indifferently and looked at the invigilator waiting for her answer.
The invigilator also came from a poor family. She knew how difficult it was to be a girl and knew that this exam might be a ray of light for this girl.
So she agreed, and before the exam started, she asked Ning Xiyue to get medicine for the girl.
Ning Xiyue came back with the ointment, handed it to the girl next to her, and took out some paper from her bag.
"Wipe it clean and apply the medicine to the open, bleeding wound. Cover it with the ointment. Don't be afraid of using too much, just apply more medicine. Apply it to other chilblained areas as well. Then you won't feel itchy when you write later."
The girl applied the medicine as Ning Xiyue said. The cool touch made her know that it was a good medicine. After she had applied all the chilblains on her hands, the bleeding and pus-filled fingers stopped bleeding. She even tried to hold a pen and felt too much pain.
"This medicine is so effective. Thank you so much today. I will remember your help. Thank you."
The girl returned the medicine to Ning Xiyue and kept expressing her gratitude. If she hadn't been concerned that this was an examination room, she would have wanted to hug Ning Xiyue and thank her sincerely.
This little incident did not affect the subsequent exam at all.
Ning Xiyue handed the medicine to the invigilator for safekeeping and devoted herself to the exam that was about to begin.
The first exam was the Chinese language exam. Ning Xiyue didn't rush to start working on the test paper after receiving it. She just glanced through the questions first.
Compared with the Chinese language test she took in the college entrance examination later, this test paper surprised her in terms of both the number of questions and the difficulty of the questions.
There are only two main questions in the whole test paper, one Chinese knowledge question with only three small questions, each question is worth ten points, and one composition question is worth 70 points. You can choose one of the two questions.
After reading it, Ning Xiyue was filled with joy because they had guessed the answer.
It’s not just one, it’s two.
It was a Chinese language knowledge question, which was about the content of the poem by Comrade Chairman that Li Dabing had recited when he was flattering the emperor. She was asked to write down the meaning. She had helped translate the poem from beginning to end and wrote it down in a notebook for everyone to learn.
It can be said that she has shared almost all of Chairman Mao’s famous works with her second brother.
The idea is to guess the thinking of the person who sets the question.
She could guess with her toes how likely these poems were to pass the exam.
As expected, the person who set the question had a firm grasp of the idea.
There was also one of the topics in the composition that they were somewhat concerned about, so reading the newspaper was very useful.
Although it was simple, Ning Xiyue did not take it lightly. She took a piece of draft paper and wrote down her ideas for answering the questions on it before writing them on the test paper.
I wrote as if I were possessed by God, and the whole process was smooth and without any hitch. After I finished, I blew away the ink on the test paper. I was so satisfied with myself. Looking at the beautiful words on the test paper and the neat paper without a single ink spot, I felt quite complacent.
There were still forty minutes left before the exam ended, and my eyes drifted to the people around me who were still working hard on their writing.
Ning Xiyue held a pen in one hand and checked the test paper with the other. She never liked to hand in the paper early or sit there doing nothing, as this would create some anxiety for those candidates who wrote slowly.
She had experienced this kind of anxiety when doing math papers. The more anxious she was, the worse she wrote and the more mistakes she made. So she didn't want others to get wet in the rain because of her.
