Chapter 250 I'm Really Going Crazy
After Liu Ji went to the toilet, the group returned to the inn.
Qin Yao ordered a few dishes and called Liu Li and Da Zhuang to join them. The two families prepared to have dinner in the lobby of the inn.
At this point, most of the candidates have already come out and are gathered in groups of three or four, drinking tea and discussing the test questions, comparing them, and estimating their own scores.
The whole lobby was as noisy as a vegetable market. Qin Yao frowned and asked the waiter to find a quiet place for her.
Unfortunately, there were no empty seats in the lobby, but the waiter was very helpful in moving the food to the stone table in the backyard patio.
There is no one here, so it is quite quiet, but there are a lot of mosquitoes.
But it didn't matter. He smoked a pot of mugwort, and when Qin Yao called for dinner, Liu Ji, who was already extremely hungry, immediately buried his head in the food.
In order not to affect the scientific examination, the candidates hardly ate anything, so as not to have to go to the toilet and waste time. After enduring for such a day, Liu Ji felt that he could eat half a cow.
Liu Li was also hungry, but he couldn't be as shameless as Liu Ji. However, he picked up the food several times faster than usual.
For a moment, the table was filled with the sound of chewing. Qin Yao had no appetite to begin with, but she couldn't help but eat two more bowls of rice.
When they were almost done with the meal, Liu Ji finally explained why he had not left the examination room for so long.
"My luck is incredible. I had already finished my test paper, and when I saw Qi Xiangun handing in his paper, someone else got first place, so I thought I would follow him out so that I wouldn't stand out."
He never expected that the damn book box would harm him!
The invigilator didn't know what was going on, but he suddenly became interested in his bookcase.
He was just about to put down his pen and stand up to hand in his paper when the invigilator suddenly appeared in front of him. He was so scared that he froze like a fool, not daring to move, and thought something had happened to him.
As a result, people were curious about his bookcase and walked back and forth in front of him to observe it.
The invigilator was right in front of him, and Liu Ji really didn't have the courage to hand in his paper.
So he picked up the pen again and pretended to continue answering the questions.
I thought I could just hold on for a while and wait for the invigilator to leave before I could leave, but something even more terrifying happened.
He had previously complained in his heart that Qi Xianguan was indeed a child prodigy as he could continue writing and answering questions even when being stared at by the invigilator. If it were him, he would probably go crazy.
Then he really went crazy!
"The invigilator stared at me with his two black cow eyes. Oh my God, how could I, Liu Ji, be treated the same as a child prodigy? I was so shocked that I couldn't even breathe. My mind was racing like crazy. I thought about all the books I had read and wrote down everything I could."
I dare not stop writing!
"As soon as I stopped writing, his breathing became heavier. It made my heart tighten. It was too scary. That was the gaze of the academician. I am just an ordinary scholar. How could I bear it?"
Thinking back on it now, Liu Ji could only pat his chest with a lingering fear.
Dalang poured a cup of tea for his father. Liu Ji smiled gratefully at his son, picked it up and drank it in one gulp. His excitement calmed down a little.
Erlang hadn't heard enough, and curiously asked, "Father, how come you can come out again? Did the invigilator leave?"
Liu Ji waved his hands, "No, no, no, it's your father. I really can't hold my urine, so I closed my eyes and handed in the paper first."
Oddly enough, even though his answer sheet, which he had written with great effort, looked like shit, the invigilator actually read it with great interest. From time to time, the corners of his mouth curled up and he let out an ambiguous chuckle.
If possible, Liu Ji really wants to ask: Can I report the invigilator for deliberately laughing and affecting the candidates' exams?
Qin Yao joked, "I guess he's just looking at you for fun. Exams are boring, and it's rare to find someone interesting, so he's teasing you."
Liu Ji's mouth twitched violently, and he started to show off, "I am good at being able to have fun as an adult, and others don't have this ability!"
Liu Li raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and looked at Liu Ji with admiration.
He just put himself in the examiner's shoes and imagined that it was himself who was being stared at by the invigilator, and he began to suffocate. It was a surprise that Liu Ji could hold on for so long. This kind of mentality was truly beyond the reach of ordinary people.
"It's getting late. You're all tired from today's scientific expedition. You should rest early." Qin Yao stood up and said to Liu Li with a smile.
Liu Li thanked Qin Yao for her hospitality tonight, and went back to the guest room with Da Zhuang to rest.
After the exam, I feel relaxed and can sleep well tonight.
Liu Ji returned to the room and was still telling the children about his battle of wits and courage with the invigilator today. Looking at the children's surprised expressions, he felt very great and quite inflated.
But I forgot how embarrassed he looked when he was rushing to find the toilet when he left the examination room.
Qin Yao poured out the dirty water from washing, closed the door, placed the heavy wooden basin on the shelf in the corner, dried her hands, and walked to the bed.
Sanlang and Si Niang slept in the same bed with her, but now they were circling around Liu Ji on the floor.
It was a rare moment of peace and quiet, so Qin Yao took out the five hundred taels of silver she had exchanged this morning and counted them.

There were ten large silver ingots, each weighing fifty taels. They were actually not that big when they were wrapped in a cloth towel.
Jiang Wen gave her the information of several timber merchants and asked her to meet them tomorrow morning. If the deal was successful, the money would be used immediately.
Qin Yao took the silver ingot in her hand and played with it. The small ingot lying in her palm was very cute.
"Ma'am, let me touch you."
The father and his five sons had squatted in front of her at some point, looking expectantly at the silver ingot in her hand.
Qin Yao thought that the children could recognize money, so she handed the silver ingot to them and said, "Don't make any noise."
With her advance warning, the four men, father and son, who had never seen so much silver before, kept their mouths shut in advance.
Qin Yao found it amusing and took out another banknote, spread it on the floor to teach Dalang and his two siblings how to identify the banknotes and how to exchange them.
In the morning, she went to the money shop alone to exchange silver. She had gone through the entire process and it was explained in great detail.
Not only the four children didn't know this, Liu Ji didn't know either. The five of them, father and sons, listened with great interest.
"Okay, give me the money and go to sleep. I have things to do tomorrow morning." Qin Yao stretched out her hand and signaled the others to return the banknotes and silver ingots.
Sanlang and Si Niang were already yawning continuously. They climbed onto the bed and lay down in their own seat on the inside. They closed their eyes in less than three seconds and fell asleep.
Liu Ji returned the money to Qin Yao and asked attentively, "My dear, the remaining exams are all retests, so you don't have to go anymore. How about I go out with you and give you a hand?"
Qin Yao refused, "No need, you stay at the inn and teach the children their homework. You can't fall behind in the clan school courses. If you have some free time at noon, take the children to the Dragon King Temple and Xiepotang in the city."
As he spoke, he remembered the current situation outside the city and instructed, "Report to me first if you want to leave the city."
After saying that, he raised his hand and swung out a strong palm wind to extinguish the candlelight, and the room instantly fell into darkness.
"sleep!"
Liu Ji felt the sharp wind from the palm of his hand on his cheek, swallowed his saliva secretly, and quickly responded, "Yes, sir!"
