Chapter 68 Returning to the hospital with great joy and sorrow
Yu Que suddenly thought of the Fu clan's blood relatives. Naturally, he did not want to take advantage of this blood relationship to practice bloodline magic.
Instead, he was thinking about the recent signs of the Fu clan, especially the clan leaders Fu Jin and Fu Lingye, and he always felt that something was vaguely wrong.
"Also, when I was killing Fu Shiqi in the ancestral hall, I always felt that there was something secretly peeping in the ancestral hall, enjoying the smell of blood."
Yu Que's brows furrowed: "Could it be that there is also a big ghost in the Fu family's ancestral hall?"
Although other than that, he had no more evidence to support his speculation.
But there is still something missing, so why do we need evidence to prove it.
Immediately, Yu Que made a decision in his heart. From now on, he would stay far away from the Fu clan's ancestral hall and never step foot inside.
Jingle bell bell!
Luan bell rings.
In Yu Que's reverie, the ghost car finally stopped at the county school.
Outside the carriage, examiner Lu Tiehua's rough voice came, and the other person banged on the carriage and shouted:
"Everyone, get out of the car. Go back to your home and find your mother."
Upon hearing this, the candidates became agitated one after another. Except for those who were seriously injured and those who died, everyone got off the carriage one after another.
Most of them were pulled directly from the carriage windows.
Now that the exam is over, they no longer care about etiquette. If they weren't worried about being too unrestrained, which might affect their ranking, some people even wanted to get naked on the roof of the carport and scream a few times.
Yu Que also suppressed his distracting thoughts and jumped out of the car window with a happy expression.
He greeted the eight newly recruited members and agreed to get together in a few days, then fluffed up his clothes and walked towards the gate of the county school.
When we came to the door, another group of people gathered outside.
However, compared to before the exam started, there were much fewer people outside today, and there were also many fewer vendors.
It was just that when Yu Que walked out of the county school, he still felt that it was very hot outside. Pairs of eyes stared at him with expressions of confusion, envy, etc.
After seeing that Yu Que was not the person they were looking for, Tao Dao's eyes quickly left.
In the short two to three hundred steps, Yu Que's walk was even more difficult than when he was rushing for the exam. From time to time, he had to pass through several families.
Various cries also sounded in his ears:
"Mom, I passed the exam!"
"Haha, I will definitely win this time!"
"My son! My son!! Why are you suffering..."
Laughter, crying, tears of joy, howls of despair, and the cries of vendors... all mixed together, making people's heads buzz.
Yu Que even saw an unscrupulous vendor, carrying a shroud and a straw mat, hunched over like a vulture, wandering around a certain family of candidates who had learned the bad news.
The other party also said: "Look at the fine white cloth! Oh, cover it quickly, don't let your daughter lose face."
In the third subject of the ghost test, not many candidates died.
Yu Que shook his head and chose to avoid that family.
When he finally squeezed out of the crowd and was about to rush to a nearby station, a shout suddenly sounded beside him:
"Brother! Hey, Brother Yu, it's me!"
Yu Que paused and looked to the side in surprise, and saw a small one-horse ghost car slowly driving out of an alley and clattering in front of him.
Immediately afterwards, Ma Zai'er's simple face emerged from the carriage.
He smiled and shook his face in front of Yu Que, then got out of the carriage like a monkey, sat down in front of the carriage handle, took the reins, and pulled out the long whip.
This man was the young coachman who sent Yu Que to take the exam, but he hadn't left yet.
Bang bang! Ma Zai'er whipped the ghost whip and muttered:
"Come up quickly. I came out of the alley and hit the road, but I can't stop too long. Otherwise, those black dogs will see me and I will be ripped off again."
The black dogs in the other party's words are the helpers of the city's government officials. They are responsible for collecting mule and horse taxes, horse manure taxes, pedestrian nuisance taxes, etc. Sometimes they even impound ghost cars, and the boss of the car dealership has to come to have a drink to make amends. , will the ghost car be released again.
Yu Que stood on the road, slightly startled, and then said with a smile on his face: "Okay!"
He jumped onto the ghost car neatly, sat next to Ma Zai'er, and said:
"Didn't you say we just wait until dawn? Why is Brother Ma still here?"
Ma Zai'er smiled honestly and said with some embarrassment: "Hey, I can't help it. I overslept and it's past the shift change time. I might as well just continue to wait. When you come up, I'll see you off. Go to the car dealership to change shifts.”
Yu Que chatted with the other party for a few words, and then he realized that the ghost car under them was not Ma Zai'er's own, but one he rented, and he often had to team up with others to make money.
"Hey, don't be ridiculous, I can't afford to raise a house god! The house god in the car is attached to the body of the car."
Ma Zai'er said quickly, his face still slightly red, for fear that Yu Que might think he was really capable.
But after explaining a few words, he whispered:
"In two years... no, in three years, I will definitely be able to raise a family god!
At that time, there is no need to go to the car dealership to pick up jobs, and you can do the work yourself. Even if you can't raise a horse or be a groom, it would be great to run a rickshaw, I can. ”
When talking about the "Running Order Gang", Ma Zai'er's eyes were sparkling, very similar to how Yu Que looked when he always thought about being admitted to the county school. But now, Yu Que is just one step away from entering the county school. As for Ma Zai'er, he is still on the road to saving money and has not even taken on the ghost loan yet.
"Okay, okay!"
Yu Que would naturally not attack the other person's thoughts, and he was in a happy mood today, laughing, and shouted loudly amidst the whistling wind:
"Brother Ma, please work harder, you and I will both have a bright future!"
Ma Zai'er heard this and nodded seriously. He didn't think Yu Que's words were false at all, but his eyes were excited:
"The future is bright! Drive..."
Yu Yu!
Soon, the two of them arrived at the Alchemist Guild.
After Yu Que handed over to Ma Zai'er, before he could say a few more words, the other party hurried to the car dealership as if his butt was burning again.
Yu Que shook his head and laughed, so he turned around, picked up his robe, and walked towards the guild.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
It was early morning and the sky was bright.
Although the small incident in the county has just ended and all kinds of news are popular in the public, the lives of the rest of the people are going on as usual.
After leaving the county school, the atmosphere in Xiaoju suddenly faded or even disappeared.
Yu Que would only occasionally hear it when he was squeezing into a crowd. Someone would talk a few words about the Xiaoju County Examination because they were really bored while waiting in line.
So he walked straight, passed through the front lobby, and walked to the backyard.
As a result, before he could take a few steps, he turned around and heard an urgent cry:
"Que'er! Que'er!!"
Behind the threshold of the backyard, I saw my uncle, aunt, and Fu Yuan Fu Yun. They were all leaning on the door frame on one side, looking at Yu Que as if they were reaching for their heads. The cry came from my aunt's mouth.
When Yu Que saw his family, he was delighted. He hurried forward and said, "Uncle, aunt, what are you doing here?"
The eyes of both uncle and aunt were filled with excitement, and their expressions were frightened and happy.
The aunt who had screamed loudly just now was just chattering and touching Yu Que's body, checking whether he was still missing any arms or legs, or whether he had missing ears or fingers.
The other two cousins stood aside and watched with amusement.
Especially the little cousin Fu Yuan. She was jumping up and down on the threshold, shouting: "Yu Que, you are so rich! Your reputation has spread here before dawn..."
The uncle was more calm. He patted Yu Que's shoulder heavily. He didn't ask about the results of the third subject, but just said:
"You're tired. Let's go back to your room to rest."
The family surrounded Yu Que and walked to the quiet room in the backyard, which attracted the attention of people walking in the middle of the guild's backyard.
Suddenly, Yu Que saw Huang Guishan standing in front of an oil pot stove in the backyard. He quickly stepped forward, bowed and saluted, and wanted to thank him.
Unexpectedly, Huang Guishan pointed to the front and booed. It turned out that someone was conducting a tempering test. Not long after it started, Huang Guishan signaled Yu Que not to come forward and disturb them.
Yu Que quickly stopped and only heard the other party whisper:
"Your family members are waiting in front of the door before dawn. Go back to your room first and have a good chat with your family members."
"Yes." Yu Que agreed.
When he turned to leave, Huang Guishan suddenly said: "By the way, within seven days... no, within three days, don't forget to come to me, and I will take you to be officially certified as a ninth-grade alchemist. ”
Yu Que looked serious and bowed to the opponent again.
After getting another wave from Huang Guishan, he just walked back to his family.
At this moment, both uncle and aunt were standing by the roadside, and they bowed their hands towards Huang Guishan cautiously, receiving a kind smile from Huang Guishan.
The family of five gathered together and returned to the quiet room with joy. The aunt brought out a pot of simmering chicken soup from somewhere, and repeatedly advised Yu Que to eat something first and to ask about his welfare.
The two cousins also asked questions.
The two of them were so bratty that they kept asking Yu Que whether he was beautiful in his heart when he won the first place in the subject, and whether he felt so beautiful when he appeared in front of others!
To be honest, Yu Que had somewhat forgotten how he felt when he won the first place. He might have felt happy at the time, but he might not have had the time to care about it at all.
But he knew that now being pestered by two cousins, looking up with admiration in his eyes, he felt extremely beautiful at the moment!
In addition, there was his uncle's proud eyes, which would glance at him with a smile from time to time.
In this warm atmosphere, Yu Que's nerves that were tense during the exam were now completely relaxed.
He felt as if he was swimming in hot water, his whole body was warm, his fatigue disappeared, and only excitement remained!
Yu Que's family of five is enjoying themselves happily.
At the same time,
Far away in the Fu clan, the whole Fu clan was in a state of gloom and gloom, and all the clan members were silent.
I saw the patriarch Fu Jin slumped down on the stone steps in front of the ancestral hall. He couldn't speak and just stared blankly at another white cloth stretcher delivered to him...
