After arriving at the exam venue, everyone stuffed the things they had bought into the mid-sized shuttle bus, since they would be taking the same bus home after the exam in the afternoon anyway.
There was only one exam in the afternoon, so it ended around 4 PM.
After another hour's drive from the county seat, we returned to Heshui Town, and it was already five o'clock.
It was still early at five o'clock, so everyone either played around in town or waited for their families to pick them up.
Students living on campus can also go back to their dormitories. The school will not give students a holiday until the day after the exams are over.
Since there's no need for evening study sessions, Yuan Mengge has time to exercise and check in at night.
After separating from the others, she went back to the training room first.
After clocking in, she returned to her dorm and took a shower.
Then I lay on my bed in the dorm and read a book.
Because there's still an exam tomorrow, and everyone stayed home to make it easier to get around.
Seeing that she didn't return until late at night, Wei Jingting looked at her strangely and asked, "Where did you go? Why are you only coming back now?"
Yuan Mengge replied, "I'm going to exercise."
Wei Jingting and the others were already used to her exercise routine, and said, "Oh my, you really can't rest for even a day... Today is exam day! Don't you even give yourself a break? We're already exhausted from battling our brains in the exam room, and you're not even letting your body off the hook."
Yuan Mengge smiled and said, "What's wrong with that? Exercise is actually a way to release stress, and it can actually make you feel more relaxed. Didn't the PE teacher say that? Have you forgotten?"
When everyone heard her say that, they remembered that their physical education teacher had indeed said that exercise could relieve stress.
"Are you under pressure too? I thought you wouldn't have much to worry about in your exams, since your grades are pretty good, aren't they?" Su Yue asked, looking at her.
Yuan Mengge nodded: "I really don't have any pressure. I don't exercise to release stress. It's just my daily exercise. Anyway, I have time in the evening, so I just do it."
"Go to sleep early, there's only one more day left until it's over."
"I bought new clothes today, I'll wear these to the exam tomorrow!"
Everyone bought some things today, and after taking a shower, they tried them out in the dorm.
Yuan Mengge went to bed early and got up early the next morning to prepare for the three exams she would be taking that day.
The others gradually got up, packed their things, and prepared to leave.
Just like yesterday, everyone gathered downstairs without any trouble, took attendance, and then walked to the main gate to catch the bus.
They were squeezed together like little piglets again and sent to the examination room, where they continued taking the exam.
We went to the same restaurant we ate at yesterday for lunch. Today, no one went to the pedestrian street; they went somewhere else instead.
Anyway, there's still time after dinner, and the exam hall isn't open yet, so I need to find somewhere to kill some time.
"Where are we going today?" Wei Jingting asked Yuan Mengge after finishing the meal.
Yuan Mengge countered with, "Then where do you want to go?"
There's not much to do in this county town, and it's too far to go up the mountain. We don't have enough time, so we can only wander around the town.
At that time, there weren't many large shopping malls or parks. The places in the county town with the most talented people were pedestrian streets and department stores.
Boys can also go to internet cafes or arcades to play games.
"By the way, shall we go visit the martyrs' cemetery?"
"Huh? What's so interesting about that? Isn't that a cemetery?"
"A grave?... My parents said they wanted to take me there, but I don't even know what that place is."
"Don't you know? This is where the bodies of our country's soldiers are buried during the war. Those soldiers died fighting for our country, so they are martyrs, and the place where they are buried is the Martyrs' Cemetery."
"Going there is not as good as going to the department store. There are things for sale there, as well as snacks."
Yuan Mengge walked down the street with them, looking around idly while listening to her talk.
Of the three boys who were with me yesterday, one is missing today.
A group of people wandered aimlessly, heading towards the department store.
As I was walking, I suddenly saw a group of people chasing and beating each other on the opposite side of the street.
"What's going on? Is there a fight over there? Wait, isn't that Bing? She's from our class!" Guo Ju suddenly pointed over there and said.
Everyone else turned to look, and upon closer inspection, they did indeed see several familiar figures.
It was indeed a boy from their class who was being chased and beaten by a group of thugs.
As soon as the two boys who were with Yuan Mengge and her friends recognized them as their classmates, they immediately ran across the street.
Yuan Mengge said to the others, "Don't go over there yet, stay here and don't move."
After saying that, she threw her schoolbag to Wei Jingting and quickly ran across the street.
The three boys being chased were all from their class. Behind them were five or six young men who looked to be between eighteen or nineteen and twenty years old, who were fiercely chasing them and were carrying watermelon knives.
He was wearing a flashy shirt and had tattoos on his neck and arms.
He has a strong air of shady dealings about him.
However, the famous bloody and violent Hong Kong gangster movie had not yet been released at that time, so these people were not imitating the movie.
It seems like they're locals.
"Hey, what are you doing?" The deputy squad leader was a simpleton. Even though he clearly saw that the other person was holding a knife, he still rushed over and pointed at them, scolding them.
"Vice class monitor! Don't come any closer! Don't talk to them! Run!" the three boys shouted in a panic to the vice class monitor.
The thugs were chasing the three men when they suddenly saw a fool pointing at them and yelling. Their attention immediately went to the vice class monitor.
"Who the hell do you think you are? You dare to stop us?" One of the thugs charged at the deputy squad leader with a stick in his hand.
"You fucking bastards, don't you dare run! If I catch you, I'll kill you!"
People on the street saw what they were doing and quickly moved aside to watch, but no one dared to come out and help stop them.
After all, they didn't want to get into trouble for doing good deeds.
"Hey, are those students? I wonder what they did to offend these thugs."
"If they can escape, that's fine; if they can't, then it's terrible."
"By the way, isn't today the junior high school entrance exam? Are these students taking it?"
While passersby were watching and discussing, the deputy squad leader and his group had already been chased across the street.
Although Yuan Mengge ran over, she did not rush over to stop the thugs, but observed from the side.
Wei Jingting and the others stood on the opposite side, watching helplessly as they ran past, only able to stand there in panic.
"Oh no, what do we do? How come Bing and the other two are being chased? Those people are holding knives... If they get caught, they're doomed."
"Ah Ping went to help, he should be alright!"
"They have knives, and A-Ping doesn't have any weapons. What if he accidentally gets slashed?"
