Chapter 125 The terrible prospective craftsman exam (1)

Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang...

Clang clang! clang clang!

Clang clang clank...

Wang Ge raised his face slightly, his forehead hurting from the sound of blacksmithing coming from the blacksmith preparation area on the east side.

Boom!

The nearest big drum was suddenly hammered. She took a deep breath, persuaded herself to calm down, and plugged the cloth in her ears and eyes again.

"Gu Zhixiang, Li... can't read." The candidate who played the drum was blushing, but in fact few people around him looked at him.

"Louder!" Youyou roared louder than the drums.

Boom! The drum in the examination preparation area of ​​Xunxiang Township, a little further away, rang again, at least three times more frequently than in the examination preparation area of ​​Qunzhixiang, which had the second-to-last number of illiterate people.

"Xunxixiang...I don't know..."

"Loud!"

"Xun hehe..."

"If you are not ashamed and you still have the nerve to smile, your qualifications for the exam will be revoked and you will be kicked out of the exam preparation area!"

On the west side, there is only a wide road into the city, which is the preparation area for the rural soldier competition.

Tat-tat-tat...the rapid sound of horse hooves stirred up a cloud of dust.

"Cum quickly, hurry up, hurry up...okay!"

The rural soldiers' cavalry and archery drills can last for twelve hours a day! Yes, the daytime training ground and the night training ground alternate. Wang Ge has been here for more than a day, and the cavalry shooting range and the corner field have never been quiet for even a moment!

The corner field is just south of the riding and shooting range. It is divided into several small competition fields. The onlookers in each competition field have three floors inside and three floors outside. They are cheering and cursing, and they are howling as if today is the end of the world.

!

In addition to the pain in Wang Ge's ears, he could actually feel his face swollen. From the time he arrived at the exam preparation area yesterday to this evening, only fourteen hours later, he was not only dizzy from the noise, but his eyes and nostrils were also swollen!

She rarely cursed in her previous life, but this time she really wanted to scold her. Who arranged the examination room for the carpenter category and skillful skills in the middle of the rural soldier competition and the blacksmith examination room? Who? Is it specifically testing the carpenter candidates? Or is it?

Deliberately tortured?

Boom!

The "township name drum" imitated by Xunxi Township sounded again.

Clang, clang, clang, clang... A number of craftsmen shaking rattles also came again. They were craftsmen from the craftsman's shop set up by the county government. One man came to Wang Ge, shook his rattle, frowned and asked loudly: "Chimu

Training ground! Do you want to go?"

Wang Ge quickly shook his head.

The government is really good at making money. In the southernmost part of the preparation area, several additional training fields have been built. Each training field is surrounded by felt cloth so that no one outside can see inside. The training fee is fifty yuan an hour.

The training content of the "Chimu Training Ground" that the person just mentioned should be to imitate the first item of the exam, "Giant Ruler Drawing". Wang Ge originally felt that he knew the content of the exam in advance through the receipt, and felt a little guilty. Now it seems, what?

Well, what’s the difference between this and making it public!

However, the test preparation area can only be entered and cannot be exited (unless you are eliminated in advance). Now that the test items are made public, it will not be of much benefit to the candidates.

The officials at the training ground came every hour. I don't know whether it was to allow the candidates to adapt to the interference of the rattle in advance, or simply to prevent the candidates from having a good rest. In short, this group of people kept playing the snare drum from time to time, and even they themselves were disturbed.

grinning.

"Huh!" Wang Ge took another deep breath and looked at the wooden slip in his hand. As soon as the candidates enter the preparation area and check all the bamboo cards, they will be handed out a wooden slip with dense official characters written on it. Both the front and back are written on it.

It's full and there are no sentence breaks.

Candidates can only know the rules of the examination room through wooden slips. Those who are illiterate or unsure about sentence segmentation can seek help from craftsmen or tour guides under the "township name drum" in each township. Before asking for help, they must beat the drum and meet the "report" requirements required by the officials.

The sound of "township name".

It should be noted that the officials would only tell the rules quickly once according to the wooden slips (Wang Ge seriously doubted that these people might be able to read all the words in the rules, but in fact they had memorized them long ago), but the illiterate candidates could not read them again.

Remember? Therefore, the candidates from Xunxi Township, the poorest and least well-educated village, are all lining up to wait for drumming. Of course, the number of officials under the famous drums in that township is also the largest.

Boom, boom, boom... This drum is a kind of "timing drum", which is used to urge candidates to go to get dinner. The kitchen is located under the thatch shed, and the stoves are movable pottery stoves. The dinner is only slightly salty.

Flavored wheat cakes and hot water are not limited.

Wang Ge first went to the hut, then received wheat cakes and returned to the bedding to eat while reciting the rules of the examination room. Before entering the examination room, the wooden slips would be taken back, so the rules must be memorized.

After it got dark, the bonpot was lit, and the fire was limited. She took off the cloth strips that plugged her ears, lay down on the bed, covered her head, and thought about the doubts in her heart.

There are too many candidates! Regardless of the quotas held by the county government or the quotas held by the family, after entering the preparation area, they must be based on the household registration at the time of household registration verification, and they will be divided into townships and county preparation areas. Only the townships can prepare for the examination.

Wang Ge roughly counted more than 120 people in the area. Before entering the examination room on the 15th, the number of people will definitely increase one after another.

Therefore, the total number of candidates should not exceed six hundred?

Only fifty people were admitted! With so many candidates eliminated, how did it happen that only wealthy families knew the content of the exam? And it was so detailed? For example, if A Shu has a chance to pass the exam in the future, can she not take the exam?

Is the content leaked to A Shu? Or if A Shu gets married, can he not leak the test content to the husband’s family members who need it?

Wang Ge was disturbed by the noise and turned over. His ears felt better. He covered the cloth again and continued to think. Looking at it now, the items in the craftsman examination were all transparent and turned into a sieve. Why should they be kept secret? Take a step back.

, To put it bluntly, Xie Zhi could find out the test items, couldn't Huan Langjun? Huan Langjun's shameless, ahem... eclectic style of conduct, hadn't he revealed it to her earlier?

No, the more I think about it, the more wrong it becomes!

What Xie Zhi told her may be true, but it is definitely incomplete! There is definitely another mystery to the test items!

Wang Ge thought about it and gradually fell asleep. It wasn't that she had a strong psychological quality, it was because she was so noisy that she basically couldn't sleep last night and couldn't stand it any longer.

All the imitative drums in the exam preparation area are not as abominable as the "timed drum" method! Starting from the first update, every time the update is reported, all the drums will sound in unison.

Wang Ge was so sleepy that he didn't know whether he was really doing this when he woke up, sat up, and then lay back down, or whether he was doing this in his dream.

In the middle of the night, the most abominable thing came!

In the rural soldier training area on the east side, fire rings were set up one after another. Those with excellent equestrian skills rode their horses through the fire rings, and the onlookers reported their numbers. The more they reported, the louder and louder their voices became!

As for the carpenter preparation area on her side, the candidates who had just arrived today didn't know that there was this competition at night in the Xiangbing area? Everyone thought there was a fire, and they all jumped and screamed. Wang Ge was so pitiful, he was stepped on, and he sat up in a daze.

, and lay back down.

After you stopped shouting and the increasingly clear counting sounds came over, these candidates were no longer afraid and began to stretch their necks to watch.

"One, two, three, four, five... brave man!" There are ten fire rings in total, from large to small. Anyone who can ride a horse and cross the five fire rings will be praised as a brave man by the village soldiers.

"One, two... Oops, help me!"

"One...haha!"

Anyone who takes the field, regardless of whether they can reach the level of a brave man, will not be laughed at. The onlookers know in their hearts that the reason why they are watching is because they don't even dare to try.

As they shouted in unison, a brave man appeared who jumped through seven rings of fire!

After the onlookers got excited, they commented: "Which village does this boy come from? How can there be such a small rural soldier?"

"You don't know? They are different from us. After they pass the rural soldier competition, they have to compete more to win the spot of 'Guard Boy'. Don't ask, it has nothing to do with rural soldiers like you and me."

The young soldier they were talking about was Wang Tian. In fact, he could still ride the horse, but his hair was scattered and burned by the fire. While he was still on the horse, Huan Zhen poured the two buckets of water he had prepared in turn.

Go up.

Wang Tian's wet hair was all over his face, he pushed it aside, swallowed his saliva and said, "Brother Huan, I'm suddenly craving for roasted sheep."
