Cannon fodder Gong Just Wants To Take The Imperial Examination [MTL]

Chapter 39

When Shen Chenyu went to study in the town, Mu Linting met the crazy boy several times, and the two of them are now acquaintances. Although Mu Linting couldn't see the surroundings, he could guess the living conditions of the crazy kid.

Mu Linting raised his foot and walked inside, while deliberately stretching out his hand and groping for a while. Seeing this, the crazy boy who had been hiding in the corner couldn't help but sneak forward a few steps.

Seeing that Shen Chenyu didn't help Mu Linting at all, he stretched out his hand cautiously, and then gently pinched Mu Linting's sleeve. Mu Linting felt that the sleeves were being pulled, and the line of his tightly pursed lips trembled slightly, and then he let the other party pull him inside.

This is the way Mu Linting gets along with crazy kids. Before coming here, Mu Linting told Shen Chenyu specifically, so Shen Chenyu didn't reach out to help him just now.

Probably because they are brothers in the same place, or because they have the same tragic past, these two people have an indescribable feeling when they get along.

When Mu Linting was carrying water before, he was pranked by a child and dropped the wooden bucket. The crazy boy waited until there was no one around, then sneaked over to help Mu Linting clean up.

Since this time, the two have seen each other several times. The crazy boy felt that Mu Linting couldn't see anything, so he got along with him boldly and confidently.

In fact, people are social animals. If a person stays for a long time, he will be surrounded by a kind of dense loneliness, and sometimes he doesn't even know the meaning of life. Just when the crazy boy felt suffocated, a blind man who didn't know who he was and would not bully him became the first person he wanted to get close to.

Seeing this, Shen Chenyu didn't say a word, and silently followed the footsteps of the two of them and walked in. Afterwards, Mu Linting changed the mad boy into new clothes and shoes, Shen Chenyu helped clean up the messy yard, and left some rice flour, oil, salt and pastries for the mad boy, and the two left here with a heavy heart.

On New Year's Day, Shen Chenyu wrote the Spring Festival couplets early in the morning, and rolled up her sleeves to help the family make dumplings. Then came the link of delivering New Year's dishes, which is a custom in Xiling Village, which is to give the meals prepared for the New Year to the close villagers.

Although Shen Chenyu has only been in Xiling Village for a year, but because of his popularity, he wants to give more Chinese New Year dishes. In order to prevent Shen Liushi and Mu Linting from working too hard, Shen Chenyu bought Chinese New Year dishes from restaurants in the town.

He bought thirty-six dishes in one go, and besides giving two meat dishes to Mrs. Shen's family, he also wanted to send two dishes to the second great-grandfather's house. After sending off the family members of the same clan of the Shen family, Shen Chenyu will also send it to the village chief and prestigious elders in the village.

After Shen Chenyu finished delivering these, Mu Linting also gave the crazy boy a New Year's dish. Crazy Boy doesn't see oily food all year round, and he can't eat those delicious dishes with big fish and meat, so Mu Linting gave Crazy Boy a relatively light stir-fry.

Shen Liushi looked at Mu Linting's expression hesitating to speak, now that the second bedroom is living a better life, she doesn't feel sorry for the money for that dish. She knew the thoughts of these poor families too well. Mu Linting's behavior of taking care of the crazy child alone would not only offend them in the eyes of other poor families, but might even cause trouble for the crazy child.

Just as Shen Liushi thought, it was hard to have a fun New Year, and something happened to the crazy kid's family on New Year's Eve. When Shen Chenyu and Mu Linting arrived, the two thatched huts in the crazy boy's house were already on fire, and the crazy boy was also lying on the roadside in front of the house with his face covered in blood.

Mu Linting smelled the bloody smell from the tip of his nose, and his empty eyes were full of regret and annoyance. He was not the kind of character who would intrigue, and he never thought that his kindness would harm the other party, and he was filled with guilt and resentment for a moment.

Sensing his emotions, Shen Chenyu reached out and shook Mu Linting's wrist. "I can't blame you for this matter. It is my responsibility. If I hadn't thought carefully, such a thing would not have happened today." A

long time ago, Shen Chenyu knew the situation of the mad boy, and subconsciously talked with her Crazy Boy distanced himself. But later Chen Yanzi was sent to the prison by him, and Shen Chenyu thought that the situation of the crazy boy had improved. Coupled with the atmosphere of the festive season, he didn't think so thoroughly all of a sudden. Fortunately, the crazy boy's injury was only superficial, otherwise Shen Chenyu and Mu Linting would be absolutely guilty for the rest of their lives.

The madman curled up in Mu Linting's arms moved, he seemed to sense the guilt of Mu Linting and Shen Chenyu, and couldn't help opening his mouth slightly to say something. But because there were many people from Xiling Village around, he just opened his mouth and said nothing in the end.

In fact, Shen Chenyu and Mu Linting were not entirely to blame, their starting point was just to make the crazy kid live better. When I delivered something to the crazy boy before, I also deliberately chose to sneak over in the evening when there was no one else.

The main reason was Crazy Boy himself. It was the first time he wore new clothes in so many years, and it was the first time he was cared for and taken care of like this. Out of the vanity of being a child, he couldn't hold back for a while and went out wearing new clothes, and then he was seen by other people in the village.

Most people in Xiling Village are still very kind. When they saw someone buying new clothes for a crazy boy, most of them smiled very kindly.

But every place cannot be full of good people. After someone found out that Mu Linting was giving New Year's food to the crazy boy, a lazy man in the village came to grab his New Year's food.

At that time, as long as the crazy kid didn't rob him, the most he would lose was a New Year's dish. But the crazy boy didn't know what to think, he just wanted to keep this New Year's dish.

Then, he got into a fight with that slob. But the crazy boy forgot that he still had old injuries, and also forgot that no matter how crazy or ruthless he was, he was just a skinny child now.

Of course, the crazy boy never beat the other party. Not only was the New Year's food and food robbed by that lazy man, but the other party even set fire to the crazy boy's house.

...

Shen Chenyu and Mu Linting saw that there was no one to help, so they had no choice but to take the injured lunatic back home first. After that, Shen Chenyu invited the barefoot doctor in the village, and with the help of the barefoot doctor, he treated the crazy boy's wound.

When Shen Chenyu sent the barefoot doctor away, the other party couldn't help but reminded him kindly. "This child can't be touched, can't be touched, you should send him away quickly."

Shen Chenyu frowned when she heard the words, "But his house was burned. If I don't keep him in this cold weather, how will he survive as a child.

" The slacker who fought, that family is not a good thing. The lunatic only suffered a superficial injury, but the slacker's ear was bitten off. If you don't send the lunatic away, that family will come to your door tomorrow It 's gone."

Shen Chenyu dissatisfied: "They beat people and set fire to them, aren't they afraid of being sent to the government?" The

barefoot doctor couldn't help laughing, "His family is different from Chen Yanzi, who was sent to the government It's all right, anyway, he doesn't have any family members to trouble you. But this lazy man is different, he has five or six brothers in his own family. If you bring this matter to the government, the government will at most make trouble The lazy man was arrested, but he and his whole family couldn't be arrested. At that time, the whole family will make a fuss and come to your house every day to scold you. You can't do anything about it. If they don't fight you and just scold you, you can't do anything Send their whole family to the government."

"You have to study and take the imperial examination in the future, the mother is a widow, and the husband is still blind, you should think about them if you don't think about yourself."

Shen Chenyu still wants Saying something, the barefoot doctor flicked his sleeves and left. He stood there in a daze for a long time, until he felt snow falling on his face, and then Shen Chenyu came back to his senses and closed the courtyard door.

It would be fine if he didn't get involved before, but now that he has brought the crazy kid home, there is no reason to throw him out. As for the lazy family that the doctor said, if it is really difficult to deal with, it will be a big deal to save money and eliminate disasters.

Anyway, Shen Chenyu is not short of money now, if a little money can solve the big trouble, Shen Chenyu will really not be stingy with that little money. What Shen Chenyu didn't expect was that this lazy family was not only difficult to deal with, but also opened their mouths.

People from the other party's big family came over early the next morning to make a fuss. The lazy man's mother is a well-known shrew, and she cursed people at people's door on the first day of the new year. Looking at this peasant woman's proficient manner of swearing and swearing, it's no wonder that she has raised a lazy man who eats and does nothing.

Shen Chenyu talked with them patiently at the beginning, but the other party asked for two hundred taels of silver without saying a word, and Shen Chenyu suddenly lost the mood to continue the conversation.

Two hundred taels of silver is not a small amount, and some farmers like them have never seen so much money in their entire lives. They opened their mouths and asked for two hundred taels of silver without even thinking about it. They just saw that the life of the Shen family has improved recently, and they planned to take advantage of this opportunity to blackmail them.

Shen Chenyu saw that they didn't really want to talk, so she planned to close the courtyard door with a cold face. As a result, this family is all peasants, and they insisted on blocking the door and swearing at Shen Chenyu and others without opening their mouths.

It was the first time for Shen Chenyu to see a shrew swearing at the street, and the lazy man's mother grabbed his clothes and tried to scratch his face. The face of a scholar is very important, and there should be no such situation as disfigurement when taking the imperial examination. One is that there is concern that someone will deliberately pretend to be an exam substitute, and the other is that the imperial court has strict requirements on appearance when selecting officials.

Although there is no saying that ugly people cannot be officials, but these officials represent the face of the court. Especially those officials who go to court every day, if they look too ugly, the emperor will be upset.

While Shen Chenyu dodged the blow in a thrilling manner, she couldn't help feeling a chill in her heart. The other party wanted to scratch his face as soon as he came up, probably not only because he wanted to blackmail their family's money, but because he wanted to completely destroy Shen Chenyu's future.

Before the opponent could make another move, Mu Linting, who arrived, grabbed the opponent's hand and twisted the opponent directly to the ground.

The peasant woman immediately let out a scream like killing a pig, and she howled at the top of her throat: "Ah, ah, murder! The Shen family has murdered!"

Seeing this, the lazy man who had been standing aside to watch the show immediately stepped forward to point out Concerned, Shen Yu said: "You are still a scholar, how can you allow Fulang to hurt someone? Are you not afraid of hurting someone and going to see the official?" The

lazy man has a lot of family members. When he heard the lazy man speak, a All of them chattered loudly. Two of the men wanted to fight Mu Linting, but they were stopped by Shen Chenyu before they got close.

Shen Chenyu ignored their insults, quickly searched the crowd, and met Feng Dahan's slightly satisfied eyes.
