Tick.
Tick, tick.
Tick, tick, tick...
"Ah, my paper!"
“No!”
.......
The second day of the Juren examination.
The silence of the examination room was broken by a drop of rain.
It started with a drop of rain, and then in less than ten breaths it turned into a heavy downpour.
When he heard the sound of raindrops, Lin Anru put down his pen and looked up at the roof.
His examination room was in a very good location, not close to the toilet, the roof was not damaged, and the tables and chairs were not damaged.
Such conditions are very advantageous for his exams.
Look, as soon as it rained, the answer sheets of those students whose roofs were leaking were ruined.
They were doomed to be eliminated before they even finished the exam.
The examination halls were rarely used, and the government would not go to the trouble of spending money on their maintenance every year, so problems like leaking roofs were quite common.
However, almost everyone taking the exam had made sufficient preparations. In addition to the items needed for the exam, they also had a lot of props to protect against rain and wind.
Experienced students set up these Dingxi sets long before the exam to avoid disqualification due to accidents during the exam.
The seat Lin Anru was assigned was not bad, but for peace of mind, he still made all the preparations.
Therefore, when he heard the sound of rain, he was able to calmly put down his pen and look up at the roof, instead of screaming in surprise like those students.
If the test paper is wet by rain, the score will be invalidated.
Those who shout and disturb the examination room will have their scores invalidated.
If you get ink on your test paper due to screaming, your score will be invalidated.
In a flash, many people in the examination room were cleared out.
Lin Anru didn't know exactly how many people were cleared out, but judging from the footsteps, she guessed it was not a small number.
He breathed a sigh of relief, feeling fortunate that he was still in the examination room.
The imperial examination required not only strength but also courage. Students who were assigned to areas near toilets were unlucky, and now there were also those unlucky people who were eliminated because of the rain.
People in my position are lucky people with great luck.
It should be said that those who are still in the examination room are lucky.
The number of students who pass the exam is not determined by a specific number, but is admitted based on the percentage of the number of applicants.
After some people were eliminated, the admission rate for the remaining students was greatly improved.
So these people are lucky.
Lin Anru prayed that her luck would last until the end of the exam.
When you are in a leisurely mood, rain is a beautiful thing.
However, rain during exams is an annoying thing and many people are affected.
Although no one made a sound, the feeling of restlessness permeated the entire examination room.
Especially since the rain doesn't seem to be stopping at all.
On the second day of the exam, it rained all day.
On the third day of the exam, it rained all day.
The fourth day of the exam...
Day 5
.......
Not to mention the students present, even the invigilating officials began to feel anxious.
But there was nothing they could do except worry.
When the exam is in progress, no one can leave the examination room, whether they are students or invigilators.
The exam ended on the ninth day.
During this period, many students were eliminated due to accidents.
The rest of the people who had finished the exam breathed a sigh of relief.
However, when I saw the half-leg-deep water outside the door, I realized that I had let go too early.
The examination venue is located on high ground and the waterlogging is so serious. You can imagine how bad the situation is in other places.
The door of the examination room opened.
In the past, every time there was an exam, as soon as the gate opened, the students’ family members waiting outside would rush over.
Now, there are two or three figures outside the door...
The Jiutian Feirenzai exam time had already exhausted these students, and most of them were forced to be picked up by their family members.
Seeing the situation outside the door, the breath they had been holding on to suddenly vanished, as if they were infected, and many people fainted one after another.
Lin Anru was also holding on, but luckily someone came to pick him up.
Before the exam started, he specially hired someone to pick him up today and take him back to the rented yard.
So, when the man saw Lin Anru’s pale face, he strode over and carried Lin Anru away.
A bunch of students were left behind with no one to pick them up.
........
"What's going on outside?"
After arriving home, Lin Anru didn't even bother to rest. He ate while asking the man who carried him back.
"The low-lying areas were severely flooded."
The man touched his head and answered seriously.
The yard that Lin Anru rented was his.
It was not a good house. The reason why Lin Anru rented his house was because he couldn't find a house to live in near the examination venue.
Those places were rented out early, so I had no choice but to look for a house farther away.
At that time, he had not thought of looking for a place so far away from the examination hall.
Fate made him meet this man, and he happened to be in a position to help him, so he was brought to live in this courtyard by this man.
At that time, he thought it would be better to go as far away as possible, as the quiet and peaceful place was just right for reading.
It was also during his stay that he discovered that the man had a sick old mother at home who needed a lot of money, so Lin Anru found him a job.
That is to take care of yourself during the exam period.
"Is it that serious?" Lin Anru looked outside the yard.
There was a wall blocking his view, so he couldn't see anything.
"Yes, it's serious." The man replied seriously, "I've prepared some hot water for you. After you finish eating, go wash up and then rest."
"Thank you, it's so troublesome for you." Lin Anru thanked him.
"I should be the one thanking you." The man refused his thanks and stood up to leave.
It rained for eight days, and there was not much food and firewood left at home. In order to repay Lin Anru, he had tried his best to use the best.
He also removed normal tiles from the roof of other rooms and moved them to the house where Lin Anru lived.
That room is the only room in this house that doesn't leak.
Lin Anru was really tired.
He had a lot of things on his mind at the moment, but his body couldn't bear it anymore, so he finally chose to rest.
When he woke up, the sound of raindrops was still in his ears, and his nose was filled with moisture.
The man came to bring him food and told him that there was not much food left at home and the food would not be so good starting today.
Lin Anru nodded and thanked him sincerely.
The employment relationship between them had actually ended today. The man was still willing to let him live here and provided him with meals. That was all a favor!
On the afternoon of the ninth day, the rain began to subside and the water level rose.
Water began to accumulate in the man’s home, which was located at such a high altitude.
