Chapter 1668-Queues and slogans
you away, because I will tie you with a strong rope. If you are bored, you can also do some work in the cotton field in my backyard. You should be very good at this.of course, I will give you some re..."this gentleman, dare to ask the front is Changan"
on the barren land, a young man carrying a backpack stopped an old man with a pole and asked respectfully.
"Yes, Chang'an is more than ten miles straight ahead, but you'd better make a detour of five miles from the southeast first."
hearing this, the young man's face appeared wondering, "Why"
"there is an abyss in front of this. If you do not detour ahead of time, you will walk along the edge of the abyss between the ravines, which will be even more laborious." The old man waved his hand, said no more, and went straight into the distance.
"Tianyuan." The young man murmured, "I've never heard of any abyss near Chang'an before."
although he was puzzled, he began to make a detour to the southeast as the old man said.
this young man looks about twenty-four or twenty-five, dressed in a dusty cyanotic dark coat, and from a distance looks like a scholar with temperament, but if you take a closer look, you will find that there are signs of mending on his cuffs and clothes. Although the skill of the sewer is superb, there is still some subtle chromatic aberration.
he carried his heavy bag on his back, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and walked forward step by step against the scorching sun.
I don't know how long later, he walked up a small dirt slope and turned to see a huge abyss sitting in the distance. The inner wall was so smooth that it looked like an endless deep hole with no bottom in sight.
"there is such a miracle near Chang'an." Shock appeared in the young man's eyes, and he could not imagine how such a huge and profound abyss was formed.
he rested for a moment, then set off for Chang'an again. A few hours later, he finally came to the foot of Chang'an.
to his surprise, the wall of Chang'an somehow collapsed. Many labourers were busy rebuilding the wall, and a group of soldiers dressed in armour were standing at the original gate, checking out the people who entered the city one by one.
"Brother, what on earth happened in Chang'an" The young man stood in the queue and could not help asking the man in front of him.
"I don't know, but I heard on the way here that Chang'an was attacked by some kind of powerful evil, and it was the champion Hou who saved a big robbery." The man looked around and whispered, "br >" did you see the abyss outside the city It is said that it was also the work of Hou Ye! "
"that day the abyss was man-made!" Shock appeared in the young man's eyes.
"well, that's Hou Ye! What can't be done "
"Champion Hou." As the young man uttered the name, a look of longing appeared in his eyes.
the man saw that the young man was interested in the champion Hou, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly. After a moment of hesitation, he mysteriously leaned close to the young man's ear and said proudly, "Brother, to tell you the truth, I came to Chang'an this time to join Hou Ye!"
"go to the Marquis" The young man was stupefied. "are you also going to take the test"
" You, too "
after knowing that they were the same travelers, the two immediately became eager and began to call them brothers according to their age.
"I said Brother Hu, since you are here to take the test, why are you here now" If I remember correctly, is this the last day " The man asked inexplicably.
"my home is far away from here, and it took me some time to walk all the way."
"Oh Where is your home "
"Chonglin County."
"Hiss, that's really not close." Did you walk all the way here Why not buy a horse "
the young man smiled but said nothing.
the man saw that the young man did not want to say more, and the interesting one did not ask any more questions. After chatting a few words, it was the soldier's turn to cross-examine.
"who are you Why did you go to the city " The soldier asked with a serious expression.
(adsbygoogle = indo.adsbygoogle | | []). Ush ({});
the man opened his mouth and was about to say something, looked around furtively, then pressed it to the soldier's side and replied in a low voice:
"I went to the town evil company."
the soldier looked at him strangely. "if you go to the town evil department, you will go to the town evil department. Why are you whispering" Go. What about you, the boy in the back "
"like him, I am going to."
"go for a walk, go straight through the door and turn right for two miles. There are signs to guide you all the way. Remember to take the number and line up."
the soldier waved his hand impatiently and seemed too lazy to ask. The two of them inexplicably passed through the city gate, and vaguely heard the soldier's impatient voice:
"what Are you going to Zhenshi, too Why don't you say it together Tsk, let's go. At the back, there are people who go to the town evil department, so you don't have to wait in line, go straight in, and don't get in the way of others. "
Youth:.
"the world... Are there so many strangers " The young man scratched his head in confusion.
"I don't know if there are so many strangers, but there are definitely a lot of people who admire Marquis."
"by the way, Brother Zhao, I haven't asked you yet, since you are also a strange scholar, what is your ability"
"me, hey, hey." The man looked around and approached the young man's ear and said proudly, "I can kill a cow with three punches!"
"." The young man twitched slightly at the corners of his mouth, and finally forced out a smile and politely praised, "Brother Zhao is really powerful."... "
"Ha, are you all right by the way, how about you, Brother Hu"
"I. I'm not as good as Brother Zhao. I can't even kill a cow. "
the man looked at the young man with pity and patted him on the shoulder, showing a "I understand" expression and a meaningful opening.
"Brother Hu, it doesn't matter whether you are a strange man or not. It's good to have this heart."
"Brother Zhao, we'd better get over there. I think the people waiting in line for the exam are already on the street."
"what!"
the two men walked all the way according to what the soldier said, and sure enough, they saw a lot of eye-catching slogans on the road:
-- the strange scholar should take the exam two miles forward.
-turn right ahead.
-there is still a mile away from the test site, and the queue is about 200 people. It is expected to wait for two hours.
-an inch of time is an inch of gold. Don't waste your time with others. If you are not a stranger, please move across the street to get a bowl of mung bean soup and then go back.
the two men were far behind the queue. Seeing the dense figure in front of them, the man sighed helplessly, turned to the young man and said,
"Brother Hu, there are too many people. Why don't you go back" You should practice more and come back when you can kill a cow next year. "
"." The young man shook his head. "it's all right, I can wait."
the men stopped persuading, and the two just stood in line, moving forward little by little, the bright sun gradually slanting to the west, and the distance between them and the house getting closer and closer.
"Brother Hu, it doesn't seem that slow." Someone has been turning back all the time, so they should have given up. " Seeing that it was his turn, Zhao Man's face showed a look of joy!
the young man was about to say something, when a young man came over from the front with a cold face, with a jade card tied around his waist and the word "stop evil" written on it.
"what are your abilities" Wuquan walked up to Zhao man and opened his mouth expressionlessly.
"are you from Zhenxiesi" Zhao man mysteriously leaned close to his ear, "I can kill a cow with three punches!"
Wuquan glanced at him, silently stretched out his hand and pointed to the opposite street:
"drink mung bean soup and get out of here!"Zhengbin." Su Zhe patted him on the shoulder. I don't know if it was Zhao Zhengbin's delusion. After Su Zhe said that, the whole person seemed to be much more cheerful."although this is a bit like som...
