One day before the exam, a student named He came to Lin Anru's room and found him.
This surprised him a lot.
"Wu Yan is injured."
As soon as he entered the door, the student named He told Lin Anru the news.
"Is the problem serious? Take me to see..."
Lin Anru was very surprised. He had not left the house in the past few days and no one had disturbed him, so he had no idea about the news from the outside world. Who knew that the first person to disturb him would bring such news.
"Don't worry, don't worry. He's covered in bruises, but it's not a serious problem. He just doesn't want to come out to see people..."
Hearing that the injury was not serious and the student surnamed Wu refused to see anyone, Lin Anru did not insist on visiting him.
Their friendship wasn't that deep yet.
"Why did you get injured suddenly?"
Speaking of this issue, the student surnamed He felt that the student surnamed Wu was very unlucky.
During the few days when Lin Anru did not leave the room, several students living nearby had accidents, but those who had accidents were basically talented and famous, and they were the kind who kept to themselves.
So the two of them who went out together every day didn't take these things to heart.
The two of them have average education, and they have someone to accompany them when they go out, so even if someone wants to do something bad, they won't target them.
They are not competitors for fame and fortune.
Who would have known that those people would not even let go of inconspicuous students like them in order to reduce their competitors.
"Yesterday we went out as normal, but as soon as we left the inn, we were knocked down by a beggar. When the beggar got up, he stole all the silver we had on us."
They felt it was unsafe to leave their money in the inn, so they carried all their money with them when they went out.
"He stole our money, so we must get it back. Brother Wu is running ahead because he has long legs. I was a little slower and almost couldn't catch up..."
It was precisely because he was a step slower that he was not injured in the end.
He chased after them and called for help. A student who passed by and knew them joined the team to help.
When they caught up, several beggars were surrounding the student named Wu and beating him.
"You don't know, those people beat and kicked Brother Wu, not to mention that one of the beggars even tried to break Brother Wu's hand. If we hadn't arrived in time, Brother Wu's hand would have been destroyed."
The purpose of these people was so obvious that the two of them didn't react at first and thought it was just bad luck.
After returning to the inn, they felt that these "bad luck" things happened one after another, and it was so coincidental that it seemed like man-made things, and they felt a little scared.
"We should have listened to you and the Master and stayed out less..."
The student surnamed He murmured softly, his face full of regret.
"Every sting makes you wiser. As long as no one is hurt, it is a blessing in disguise."
"Brother Lin is right..."
The student surnamed He looked at Lin Anru.
Lin Anru was confused: "Brother He, is there anything I can help you with?"
The student surnamed He's eyes lit up when he heard him ask the question: "That...that's it..."
Lin Anru didn't urge him.
After thinking about it for a long time, the student surnamed He closed his eyes and quickly said what was in his heart:
"Could you lend us some money?"
"Our silver was robbed and we are penniless now."
"Don't worry, we'll pay you back right away when we get back. We won't owe you anything. If you don't trust us, we'll write you an IOU."
After he said that, he looked at Lin Anru nervously.
Both of them came from wealthy families, so they became anxious when it was their first time borrowing money.
Originally, he wanted to ask his classmates who had similar family backgrounds, but after hearing about their experiences, those people mocked them. He couldn't stand it, so in the end he could only come to Lin Anru to try.
"I can lend you money, but you know my family is not well off, so I probably can't lend you much."
When the student surnamed He heard that he was willing to lend money, tears filled his eyes.
This person is such a good person.
When he heard about their experiences, he not only didn't laugh at them but also cared about them. Most importantly, he was willing to lend them money.
move.
They will start the exam tomorrow, and they have already prepared food and other necessities for the exam at the inn. Now all they need is the money for the trip back and some expenses, so they don't need to borrow too much.
Lin Anru estimated their travel expenses and other expenses, and finally lent them a similar amount of silver.
"I can only lend you this much. I don't have any more."
The student surnamed He also saw that he had opened the purse and there was indeed not much money left in it. He thanked him repeatedly:
"Enough, enough, these are enough."
He wrote the IOU with tears in his eyes and promised to pay it back double when he returned.
Lin Anru didn't care about his double repayment, what he wanted was the favor they owed him.
Coming from a farming family, he lacks money and connections, so he needs to manage his business well.
The second day.
Lin Anru got up early, checked her luggage and set off for the examination room.
There were already many students waiting outside the examination hall.
Every time an exam is held, people from all counties and prefectures come here to fight for fame and honor, but in the end only a few can succeed.
This results in a huge age gap among the students here, ranging from teenagers in their early teens to elderly people with white hair.
Standing in the dark crowd, Lin Anru found a familiar figure.
The student Zhou whose leg was broken.
He was being carried in line. The young man who used to be full of vigor and vitality was now staring at the people in line with a gloomy face.
Lin Anru took a quick look and stopped watching.
Although this student Zhou's leg was unfortunately broken, his hand is still fine.
As long as you can endure the pain, you can take the exam.
Perhaps those who set up the trap were afraid of the people behind him so they didn't dare to kill him. They left him a way to survive and kept his hands free.
The entrance inspection was very strict, but the progress was not slow. When the time came, others had already entered the examination room.
He was lucky this time. The layout was good, the tables and chairs were intact, the roof was good and it looked like it wouldn't leak, and most importantly, it was not close to the toilet.
With the previous experience, Lin Anru felt that three days would not be very difficult to endure.
My mentality is much better than last time.
Three days passed in a flash, and Lin Anru followed the large group out with unsteady steps.
The outside of the examination hall was filled with the candidates' families. When they saw their family members coming out, they immediately went over to support, hold, lift or carry them back.
No one came to pick up Lin Anru, but compared to those students who looked like they were about to die, he just looked a little weak, there was really no comparison.
He thought that he didn't need anyone to pick him up.
The students who knew each other had no intention of greeting each other or discussing the test questions. At this moment, they just wanted to go back and have a good rest and a big meal.
