Chapter 300 The End of the Provincial Examination 2
In the examination room, Su Xiaolu also smelled that smell, which made her feel even more uneasy.
Today's candidates only think that exams are more serious, and nothing is more important than exams.
After Hong Zheng left, the candidates also dispersed, and Su Xiaolu also left the examination room. She did not go back, but followed Hong Zheng.
She remembered Hong Zheng. A few days ago, when she was buying snow grass, she had met Hong Zheng coming back from a medical visit. That was also the first time she smelled the strange smell.
Hong Zheng took several little medicine boys out of the examination room and returned to Jishi Hall.
Jishitang is now closed.
Su Xiaolu found that there were several times more officers and soldiers than before.
Su Xiaolu avoided the officers and soldiers and sneaked into Jishi Hall, which was brightly lit.
The medicine boy and the doctor were in a hurry.
Pushing the wooden bucket to distribute the medicine, Su Xiaolu saw a room with young men covering it tightly. They carried seven or eight corpses out in succession and sent them away quietly through the back door.
Su Xiaolu frowned, and while there was no one around, she entered the room where the patients were placed. There were more than twenty patients in the whole room, and they were all wailing slightly.
Su Xiaolu looked at them.
Finding that they had many herpes on their faces, some of which were tattered and pus-filled, Su Xiaolu quietly left and left Jishi Hall. She happened to see an ox cart transporting corpses leaving, and she followed it.
The bullock cart left the city.
When leaving the city, the two boys exchanged a few words with the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate, and Su Xiaolu listened clearly.
The boy said: "Eight people have died in such a short time, and we don't know how many more will die when the sun comes up."
The officers and soldiers sighed: "This epidemic is too scary. Dozens of people die every day. We still can't find out the cause, and we don't know how many more people will die. This is too scary."
The boy sighed: "Who says it's not the case? I'm worried all day long."
After that, the two boys stopped talking.
Su Xiaolu frowned, this epidemic was more serious than she thought.
Thinking of her brother who was still in the examination room, Su Xiaolu went back to the house first.
It was already midnight, and Wang Huilan was still awake.
Su Xiaolu was explaining to the coachman when Wang Huilan opened the door and came out. She looked worried: "Xiaolu, what happened? Why haven't you slept yet?"
The driver also looked very serious.
Su Xiaolu said to Wang Huilan: "Sister-in-law Huilan, I will take them back. You don't have to go. The epidemic is very serious. We may not be able to go back for the time being. We will live here during this period. Please be careful and wait for me."
Bring them back and talk about it later.”
In the current situation, it is probably impossible to leave the city, but I still have to give it a try.
Wang Huilan looked serious, and she nodded: "Okay, I will take care of the house, Xiaolu, you should also be careful."
Wang Huilan didn't ask any more questions. She knew that Su Xiaolu would not deliberately exaggerate to scare her.
Su Xiaolu was up so late, so he must have gone to investigate something.
To make her so rigorous, she must know something.
Wang Huilan couldn't hide her worry. She couldn't sleep, her heart had been unsettled, and she couldn't sleep now.
Su Xiaolu looked at Wang Huilan and said, "Okay, then I'll go to the examination room and wait."
Su Xiaolu left after saying that.
Wang Huilan sighed. She was no longer sleepy. The driver also looked worried: "Miss, what should I do?"
Wang Huilan frowned and said, "Don't go out either. Let's just close the door and live in peace. Everything will be fine."
The driver nodded.
Wang Huilan returned to the room. She sat on the bed, not feeling sleepy at all. She clasped her hands together and prayed silently: Great Buddha, please bless my husband to be safe, and his best friends to be safe.
Su Xiaolu returned to the examination room and waited, watching the sky light up little by little.
In the examination room, the last exam also began.
Many candidates looked pale, their hands holding pens were trembling, and there was a thin layer of cold sweat on their foreheads.
But no one gave up.
Su Hua also felt that something was wrong with his body. After so many years, as long as he had a slight cold symptom, Su Xiaolu would prepare some medicine and take it. Needless to say, the medicine Su Xiaolu prepared for this exam must be excellent and would definitely not be taken.
After that it had no effect.
Moreover, he had eaten two portions last night, but now, his body felt heavy, his throat became more painful, and his body felt very cold.
He wanted to cough, but he tried his best to hold it back every time.
He looked at the rice paper on the table, endured his physical discomfort, and gathered his energy to answer.
The same proctor was walking around the examination room with several examiners, his brows furrowed.
Many candidates who are sick have no energy to take the exam, can't hold their pens, and write in a mess.
In less than half an hour, some candidates could not hold up and fell on the desk.
Officers and soldiers came immediately to carry him down.
Many candidates with high fever collapsed one after another.
It made everyone very nervous.
Su Hua straightened his back and his hands were trembling a little. He had been concentrating for a long time and his head was covered with sweat. It was not until the end of the exam that Su Hua breathed a long sigh of relief after finally writing down his name.
In the end, I persisted.
He swallowed his stinging throat and took a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat from his head.
When the papers were collected, the examiner who invigilated the examination also said that the collection of papers for this provincial examination was officially over and the candidates could leave on their own.
Some people who are sick have to go to District for treatment.
Those who are not sick must stay temporarily. Those who have relatives and friends can go to relatives and friends. Those who do not have relatives and friends can also stay in inns arranged by the government.
Su Hua took a few breaths and saw Su Chong and the others walking towards him. He stretched out his hand to stop them and said, "Brother, don't come over. I can't go back with you."
He couldn't deceive himself that it was just a cold.
It was impossible for him to be with Su Chong and others, so Su Hua staggered up and avoided them.
Su Chong looked anxious: "Brother Hua, what are you talking about? You are just an ordinary Fenghan. Just go back and let Xiaolu show you."
Zhou Heng and Liu Zijin both frowned.
Su Hua smiled and said: "Brother, you go back first. Don't worry, I will separate with them. I will come back after I am cured. Don't worry about me."
After Su Hua finished speaking, without waiting for Su Chong to say anything more, he walked towards the doctor.
Su Chong frowned and could only watch as Su Hua and them parted ways.
Zhou Heng and Liu Zijin were worried about Su Chong being impulsive. Su Chong just clenched his fists and said solemnly: "I'm fine. I know what I should do. Hua Di will be fine. Let's go out first."
Many candidates who had somewhere to go have already left.
Some people with symptoms were taken away by officers and soldiers.
Su Chong, Zhou Heng and Liu Zijin came out of the examination room together, and immediately saw Su Xiaolu waiting outside.
Su Xiaolu saw them. She glanced quickly and found that Su Hua was not there. She was only stunned for a second. She stepped forward, smiled slightly at Su Chong and said: "Brother, thank you for your hard work. Let's go home first. Wait.
After you've settled in, I'll go see my second brother."
