09 short guard
It was the day when Xiao Liulang took the exam in a blink of an eye.
Gu Jiao got up early, gave the noodles, steamed a basket of porcelain white flour steamed buns, and cooked a pot of wild mushroom soup.
The wild mushrooms were picked on the mountain. The first ones I picked were eaten. These were newly picked on the mountain yesterday. There were still a lot of them left. She planned to carry them to the market to sell them later.
In fact, she also picked fungus, but fresh fungus is poisonous and must be dried before it can be eaten.
She went back to the house to take medicine while waiting for the meal.
The wounds on her wrist and the back of her head were fine, and the medicine was almost finished. The ointment was more medicinal, and there was still half a piece left.
On the other side, Xiao Liulang also got up.
Gu Jiao knew that he was studying until late last night and didn't bother him in the morning, but he still got up so early.
Actually, I can sleep for a while, but I don’t have that early to go to the ox cart in town.
Gu Jiao arranged the bowls and chopsticks and served him half a bowl of wild mushroom soup. She was worried that he would go to the examination room to find a toilet, so it was not filled.
But I don’t know if it was Gu Jiao’s illusion, but I always felt that Xiao Liulang’s eyes that were inadvertently glanced at him were a little resentful.
The exam took the whole day, and Gu Jiao packed steamed buns and water.
After pausing for a while, she didn't know what she thought of, and stuffed ten copper plates into her bag.
Xiao Liulang looked at her copper-plated action, his eyes moved and he didn't say anything.
Gu Jiao handed him the packed bag: "I have paid the car money and called him hello, so I'll send you directly to the academy."
"Yes." Xiao Liulang responded, took the bag and walked out of the door with a crutch.
Gu Jiao looked at his little lame leg and resisted the idea of sending him to the entrance of the village. I guess he was not happy either.
When Xiao Liulang arrived at the entrance of the village, Uncle Luo Er's ox cart had already been parked under the locust tree. There were many people sitting there, all the villagers who used their side dishes and eggs to sell them in the town.
When the villagers saw him, they smiled and called him.
Xiao Liulang is a scholar. He looks cold on weekdays, but in fact he doesn't have much airs. Anyone who wants to read a letter or reply a letter will come to him. Although Gu Dashun is also a scholar, Gu Dashun is in a private school during the day and studies hard when he goes home at night. The villagers rarely disturb him.
There is still a last seat on the ox cart, which should be left for him.
He was about to go up when he felt a figure swaying by and blocking him.
The other party held the ox cart with one hand and held another figure behind him with the other: "Shunzi, get on!"
It is the Zhou family’s mother and son of the Gu family.
Zhou blocked Xiao Liulang and did not give Xiao Liulang a chance to get on the ox cart at all.
On the ox cart, an old lady said, "Shunzi, it was Liulang who came first."
Gu Dashun's move to get on the ox cart was stopped.
He turned his head, looked over his mother, and glanced at Xiao Liulang.
Xiao Liulang's eyebrows and eyes were cold and his expression was indifferent.
Zhou hummed indifferently: "I'm Shunzi's exam! What's wrong with him coming first? Will you delay my Shunzi's exam?"
Everyone in the village knew that Gu Dashun was a promising person. He was admitted to the county school a while ago, but he was a scholar. He heard that he didn't have to kneel down to salute the county magistrate.
Although Xiao Liulang is a good guy, Gu Dashun's future is not as important as Gu Dashun's.
If Gu Dashun becomes prosperous, it will not only bring honor to the Gu family, but also bring the entire Qingquan Village to his honor.
Everyone stopped talking.
"That..." Uncle Luo Er said embarrassedly, "Liu Lang...he also went to the exam."
Last night, Gu Jiao came to see Uncle Luo Er, and explained to Uncle Luo Er. Xiao Liulang was going to take the exam in a college. Xiao Liu crossed his legs and feet and told him to send someone there. For this reason, he gave him two more copper coins.
Uncle Luo was quite puzzled. The little fool of the Gu family who was not in dealing with Xiao Liulang seemed to have changed his mind when he spoke and did things.
But before he could ask more, Gu Jiao left.
When Zhou heard that Xiao Liulang was also taking the exam, he was not at all relieved. Can Xiao Liulang's exam be compared with her son's?
But Gu Dashun looked at Xiao Liulang in surprise: "Are you... going to Tianxiang Academy too?"
"Yes." Xiao Liulang responded lightly.
Xiao Liulang was already a Tongsheng when he first came to the village. At that time, Gu Dashun was also a Tongsheng. Later, Gu Dashun passed the exam to the scholar, while Xiao Liulang was still a Tongsheng. Gu Dashun did not look down on Xiao Liulang so much.
"You haven't been to a private school for half a year..." Gu Dashun shook his head.
This is very obvious, Xiao Liulang couldn't pass the exam at all.
Uncle Luo, who originally planned to persuade someone to give Xiao Liulang a seat, silently put his words back on his stomach.
Since you can't pass the exam, there is no need to worry about it.
Uncle Luo Er gave out his wallet.
When I went to the market, I had two copper plates, and there were three copper plates in a slightly smaller place. Gu Jiao gave two more, a total of five copper plates.
Uncle Luo counted out the copper plate and returned it to Xiao Liulang's kung fu, and Gu Dashun was pushed into the ox cart by Zhou.
But before he could sit firmly, a thin, bone-skinned plain hand suddenly stretched out from behind him, grabbed his back collar, and pulled him off the ox cart!
Gu Dashun is two years older than Xiao Liulang, and is already nineteen this year. He is a strong young man, but he is staggering by the sudden stuttering and almost fails to fall to the ground.
Zhou was so scared that he hurried to help Gu Dashun.
"Who!"
She cursed and turned around.
Then he saw the thin and thin Gu Jiao with everyone.
Gu Jiao's eyes were cold and there was a sense of unruly chill.
Everyone was stunned.
"Gu Jiao, why are you crazy?" Zhou Shi thought that someone was so bold, but it turned out to be this little fool.
"Take the copper plate back." Gu Jiao ignored Zhou Shi at all, and looked at Uncle Luo Er who was froze in the air, and frowned impatiently, "I made a reservation with the ox cart last night. You can just go back on your word and refund everyone's car money."
"What do you mean?" Zhou asked.
"Literally, Xiao Liulang can't get on the ox cart today, so no one is allowed to get on the ox cart." Gu Jiao said.
"Why are you?" an aunt snorted.
Gu Jiao slowly took out the sickle from behind: "Just because I am a fool? I am a fool only does stupid things?"
Everyone turned pale when they saw the knife.
Zhou, who wanted to rush up and pull Gu Jiao's hair, was so scared that he didn't dare to step forward.
No one understands what happened to Gu Jiao and why she couldn't get along with the Gu family who had long been disgusted with her long-lost Gu family.
Even a hint of surprise flashed through Xiao Liulang's eyes.
"If you want to invite the old man of the Gu family, go quickly." Gu Jiao said, blowing the sickle that was shining by herself.
Zhou really wants to go.
He was stopped by Gu Dashun.
It doesn't make sense to be a fool, and it would be bad if you delay the exam.
Although Xiao Liulang would also miss the exam, Xiao Liulang could not pass the exam, so if he missed it, he would miss it. He was different.
Finally, Uncle Luo Er thought of a way to ask Zhou to spend money to buy the dishes of one of the villagers, who gave the seat to Gu Dashun.
Gu Jiao doesn't care whose seat Gu Dashun bought.
However, in order to prevent another accident from happening halfway, Gu Jiao walked with her on her back.
There was no extra seat for the ox cart.
She dragged her thin body and walked for more than ten miles, sending Xiao Liulang safely into the examination room.

Liulang: Why are you so nice to me?
Jiaojiao: You look good.
