At The Beginning, Caishikou Beheaded, I Chose To Be Reborn

It was already night at this moment, in the barren mountains and wild mountains, it was pouring rain outside, Ye Yuan came alone, it would be strange if he was not suspected.

But a good appearance is so important. People are visual animals. Seeing that Ye Yuan is elegant and gentle, and speaks politely, the five scholars feel a little relieved.

Someone who was a little more enthusiastic got up, pointed to the position beside him, and said.

"Brother, you are welcome, this temple is not built by us, everyone is sheltering from the rain, there is no reason why... This place is a little bit sheltered from the wind, why don't you come to my side.

This dilapidated temple had been dilapidated for some years, so the wind leaked from all sides, and rainwater seeped in half of the temple, forming a small puddle.

Therefore, the five scholars gathered in the east corner, where the terrain is slightly higher and the outer wall is relatively complete.

It's just that five people are crowded together, and it looks somewhat narrow.

It's nothing to be warmly invited by this person, but the other four were obviously unwilling. Although they didn't say anything, their eyes showed dissatisfaction.

The five of us are already crowded, wouldn't it be crowded into a meat pie if another one comes?

What's more, the origin of this person is still unknown.

Ye Yuan knew this very well, so he would not do such unpleasant things, so he said with a smile.

"Thank you, brother, for the invitation, but Ye Mou is used to being alone, so I don't want to disturb you, just find a corner to settle down.

While talking, Ye Yuan chose a seat near the temple gate and sat down.

Although there is some wind leakage, but the terrain is the highest, at least you won't worry about being flooded.

Perhaps because of Ye Yuan's understanding, the four scholars who were slightly dissatisfied at first had no opinion on him, and one of them with a yellow face even gave Ye Yuan cupped hands.

"Is this brother a classmate?"

"classmate?"

"Isn't Brother Ye going to participate in Chunwei's exam?"

"Chunwei? It turns out that you are going to take the exam... Haha, but I misunderstood, Ye has never had an imperial examination and has no fame.

Ye Yuan said with a smile, his eyes swept over the salutes of the crowd, and he said in his heart that it's no wonder.

It was not a safe thing for five scholars to walk together in the wilderness in the middle of the night.

But if you want to participate in Chunwei, 17 is normal.

The imperial examination is the top priority for scholars in this world. Every time it comes to spring, scholars from all over the world will overcome all difficulties and take the exam.

Those who have money and power will naturally have domestic servants to serve them, and they are all in style.

Like poor scholars, there are not so many choices. Before they successfully entered high school, they have not completely changed their destiny. It is only reasonable for a few fellow villagers to go together.

Seeing that these five people were all carrying bookcases, even in such a harsh environment, there were still three people with books in their hands, reviewing with the bonfire they had finally lit.

It can be seen how much they attach importance to the imperial examination, after all, this is their only chance to change their destiny.

"I see."

The scholar who spoke to Ye Yuan just now put down his hands and sat back down.

But he just lost the intention of talking to Ye Yuan.

After all, this is an era when reading can change one's destiny. If Ye Yuan does not take the imperial examination, it means that he has no possibility of becoming an official, and he is not from the same world as them.

From the scholar's point of view, a thick barrier has appeared between him and Ye Yuan.

We are not all the way, so there is no need to talk about it.

Only the scholar who first agreed to Ye Yuan's coming in to shelter from the rain didn't seem to care about it, and even took some kindled firewood from the own fire, and lit a fire in front of Ye Yuan.

"The cold air in the mountains is relatively severe. Brother Ye was also drenched in the rain, but you have to keep warm. If you get wind and cold, you will be in trouble."

In ancient times, the most common wind and cold would also kill people.

Seeing that Ye Yuan's body was covered with "rainwater", he reminded him kindly.

"Thank you dear brother for taking care of me."

Ye Yuan responded gratefully, there is still no shortage of good people in this world.

It's just that this one is thinking too much, there is no rain on his body, the reason why he is wet is the sweat in his body, and it is quickly evaporated, and he keeps repeating sweating, steaming, sweating , and then evaporated to dryness in this process.

This one is talkative, chatting with Ye Yuan in a low voice.

After exchanging names, they knew that this person was Zhong Haoyuan, a native of Cangwu County, Xingqing Prefecture, who had started the imperial examination at the age of seventeen, failed many times, did not give up, and finally won the Juren.

Now going to participate in Chunwei, although it is related to personal fate, but his burden is not very heavy.

"Since Zhong was a scholar, he has been experiencing failures. He finally won the exam. I am satisfied. I know that my talent is here. It is almost impossible to be a Jinshi...but it has come to this point , If you give up without trying, wouldn’t you regret it for the rest of your life? So I packed my bags and accompanied a few fellow villagers to Chunwei to see the world.”

Zhong Haoyuan wiped the bonfire with dry wood, talking about own things.

"Brother Zhong may be lacking in knowledge, but his mentality is better than many moves. Sometimes with a normal mind, he may be able to perform supernormally, and it may not be unexpected.

Ye Yuan smiled and gave a sigh of relief, but in his heart he was trying to mobilize the clouds in the tripod.

One is for testing.

The second is to repay the kindness of this person.

In the end, he really took out a wisp of cloud as thick as a hair, and threw it into Zhong Haoyuan's body.

Zhong Haoyuan didn't react in the slightest, he just laughed at himself.

"Even if he performs supernormally, Zhong's chances are not great, unless, unless he wins the bet... But how is that possible? The questioners are all well-educated and won't leave any loopholes.

Ye Yuan also couldn't see whether Zhong Haoyuan's fate would be changed because of this ray of cloud, after all, what he took out was only a negligible bit, it was just a random act on a whim, Ye Yuan didn't take it too seriously, Instead, he said in relief.

"Maybe it's really cloudy, and you won the bet?"

Zhong Haoyuan was startled, then pointed to the ruined temple and said.

"If this is the case, then it is really blessed by the God of the Mountain. When there is a title on the gold list, Zhong will definitely rebuild the temple, because the God of the Mountain will rebuild the golden body."

As soon as this remark came out, the four scholars chuckled.

But it was amused.

One of them seemed to be quite familiar with him, and said with a sneer.

"Zibuyu is strange, Xiaoyuan, Xiaoyuan, how can you still have such a big dream?"

"Can't I dream?"

"If you have time, read two more books!"

"It's all right, you're working hard, it looks like I'm doing nothing."

"That's the truth. With your nature, you've always been lazy. It's a great fortune to be successful. If you don't work hard, Jinshi really has nothing to do with you."

"I'm not lazy, but self-aware."

"..."

Several fellow villagers laughed and said a few words, and they didn't know how much sincerity and carelessness were in these words.

In short, after the chat, Zhong Wuyuan became less interested, and was not in the mood to chat with Ye Yuan anymore. Instead, he took out a book from the package and read it like everyone else

It's just that there seemed to be worry in his eyes, and he muttered a few times.

"Brother Lu said he was going to find dry firewood. Why haven't you come back after going there for so long? Could it be that you are in trouble?"

But when he said this, the other scholars didn't make any sense.

So I had no choice but to give up and start reading with a dull head.

Ye Yuan sees such a strong "study atmosphere", so of course he won't bother him. He found out "Qing Yu Miscellaneous Notes" and read it with relish.

About an hour and a half passed.

The bonfire in the temple seemed to have insufficient firepower due to the lack of dry wood. A few scholars stopped studying, and some people shrank their necks and shivered in the cold wind, complaining.

"Lu Liangping is really unreliable. He took the initiative to ask Ying to find firewood more than two hours ago, but he didn't come back after such a long time. It caused us to suffer from the cold here."

Another scholar agreed.

"This guy is weird all the way. After a serious illness, the originally dull person suddenly became enthusiastic and even took the initiative to find firewood, but where did he find the firewood? Could it be that he found someone to stay overnight and forgot about us fellow villagers? right?"

When Zhong Haoyuan heard this, he couldn't help but said.

"Brother Lu also had good intentions, how can you speculate on him like this? It's raining heavily outside, he might have lost his way, as I said, we are fellow villagers anyway, how can we just leave it alone, why not go out and look for him separately.

As soon as this remark came out, the four scholars immediately objected.

"I'm afraid you're crazy!"

"Such a heavy rain!"

"I don't have any friendship with Lu Liangping..."

"It's not that we asked him to go out to find firewood. He insisted on doing the work himself. Even if something happened, what does it have to do with us?"

The few people didn't want to move at all. They wouldn't leave the ruined temple until the rain stopped. At least there was a piece of tile here to shelter them from the wind and rain.

Zhong Haoyuan was a little annoyed by their words, and was about to say something.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside.

Immediately afterwards, someone pushed open the temple door, and the cold wind mixed with rain came rushing in, causing everyone to curl up subconsciously.

"Everyone, I'm back!"

A young man with a slightly pale face came in, holding an umbrella that was dripping water in his hand, and with him was a young girl and a middle-aged man.

"Lu Liangping, you are finally back? The two people beside you are..."

The scholars were a little surprised.

It's fine for Lu Liangping to come back alone, why did he bring two people with him.

Especially this girl, who looks twenty-eight years old, wearing a blue skirt and a jade pendant, with an oval face and Liu Ye eyebrows. Although she is dressed as a maid, she has the temperament of a lady.

The few of them have only been studying hard for many years, and they have never seen such an outstanding girl, and they can't move their eyes even a little bit.

The middle-aged man behind the girl is dressed as a servant, wearing a strong outfit, and looks quite powerful.

"Didn't I go out to find firewood? But the rain is getting heavier and heavier, where is there any dry firewood outside? In desperation, I can only go farther and farther, but unexpectedly, I found a Zhuangzi on the mountainside, named Xiao Yun Zhuang, there is a young lady in Zhuangzi, she is the only daughter of External Martial Arts, a member of Zhang Lukou County at the foot of the mountain. , I couldn't bear it very much, so I arranged for me to eat, take a bath, and even allocate a guest room."

"But we are from the same town. How can I enjoy it alone and forget everyone? So I mentioned this to Ms. Zhang, and she agreed."

"One of these two is Miss Zhang's personal servant girl, named Lu Luo, and this one is the nursing home in Zhuangzi, named Zhou Shao, following Miss Zhang's order, I will pick you up with me.

Lu Liangping recounted his own experience.

The four scholars immediately became happy, and their eyes were full of enthusiasm.

"I didn't expect that you would find such a good thing when you went to find firewood!"

"As expected of Brother Lu, I have long known your benevolence and righteousness, and will not forget us when good things happen."

"What are you waiting for, go quickly!"

The four 950 people didn't think much about it at all. Lu Liangping was from the same town, the girl Luluo looked beautiful, and Zhou Shao's nursing home was simple and honest, which made people feel safe.

they just

When I think that I can bathe, eat, read, and sleep in a room with bright and clean windows, I can't help myself.

Only Zhong Haoyuan said hesitantly.

"Is it inappropriate? Ms. Zhang is a lady of every family. We, a group of men, go to the village to spend the night in the middle of the night. If it is spread, it may damage her reputation."

Hearing this, Lu Liangping's eyes flashed, and he said immediately.

"Brother Zhong is thinking too much, who is going to spread gossip in this wilderness?"

The Luluo girl next to her also said with a smile.

"Young master, don't worry. Miss is not such a vulgar person, so she won't be bothered by it. Besides, if you can really win the Jinshi during this trip, then my lady and I will also be considered worthy of it."

It's right to come to the door, and staying overnight tonight may make a good marriage.

As soon as these words came out, the four scholars became even more tempted.

It's almost like saying "If he doesn't go, I will go".

Seeing that Zhong Haoyuan was still hesitating, Zhou Shao, the guardian, looked at the environment of the ruined temple and said.

"The main reason is that this temple has been abandoned for too long. You live here, and the wind leaks everywhere. You may wake up and catch the wind and cold, but this is actually a trivial matter. If you are sleeping

What should I do if the wind and rain directly cause the ruined temple to collapse? Isn’t it wrong to die?”

Coincidentally, just as he was saying this, a wooden beam just fell down.

This immediately confused everyone.

"Xiao Yuan, why are you still hesitating?"

The familiar fellow countryman said anxiously.

"Oh well."

Zhong Haoyuan could only agree, and turned to look at Ye Yuan.

"Brother Ye, do you want to come with us too?"

Um?

Why is there one more?

Lu Liangping, Lu Luo, and Zhou Shao exchanged a look, and they were all a little surprised.

How could this person's sense of existence be so low?

Sitting in the corner without saying a word, almost missed him.

Luluo looked Ye Yuan up and down in her eyes, and saw that he had an elegant temperament, fair face, and his appearance was much higher than everyone present, so she was a little tempted and asked.

"Who is this young man?"

Zhong Haoyuan briefly introduced Ye Yuan's background.

"It turns out that he is also a son in distress. The rain tonight will not stop easily. It is too dangerous for you to be here alone. Why don't you come with us."

Luluo said enthusiastically.

She didn't know why, but she felt that Ye Yuan was more attractive to her, and she felt that as long as she cheated this person tonight, the rest would not matter.

"Oh? Ye has such good luck?"

Ye Yuan looked at the three of them with a half-smile and said.

"Have you thought about it, do you really want to invite Ye Mou?".
