Crying While Filling the Pit I Dug - Chapter 12
Song Miaomiao tried to shake the leaves off the branches in front of her.
Sure enough, even if the patrolling Senior Brother saw it, he didn’t stop her. Her intuition told her that the matter was feasible.
Song Miaomiao couldn’t wait, pulled Ling Qianyi over, picked up a branch and wrote in simplified characters on the mud, “The rule is to count the number of leaves on the tree, we might as well shake all the leaves from the tree.”
Ling Qianyi half guessed and understood what Song Miaomiao meant, and hesitated, “Isn’t that bad? Sir told me that I must be honest.”
Why?! The ancients were so pedantic!
Song Miaomiao wrote, “This is just using the rules.”
She continued to draw with the branches, “Anyway, we can’t count them all, why don’t we try?”
Ling Qianyi nodded hesitantly.
Song Miaomiao immediately shook the trunk violently, but the tree was at least a hundred years old, how could her small body shake it? She quickly changed her strategy and sat on the tree with Ling Qianyi and swayed.
Occasionally, someone looked at them strangely, but most people only cared about their own affairs and had no time to care about others.
That tree had so many branches and leaves, how could it be so easy to shake off all the leaves?
After shaking for a long time, a thin layer of leaves had accumulated on the ground.
Brother Master Fang’s voice spread through the woods again with his vigorous inner strength, “There is a quarter of an hour left.”
A quarter of an hour! It was too late to shake the leaves!
In desperation, Song Miaomiao jumped down from the tree, picked up some dry grass and branches and piled them under the tree.
Ling Qianyi said, “Miao Miao, what are you doing?”
Song Miaomiao took out the fire bag, and pointed to the hay.
“You want to burn the tree?”
Song Miaomiao nodded repeatedly.
Ling Qianyi jumped down from the tree, grabbed the fire bag from Song Miaomiao’s hand, and stopped her, “No!”
Song Miaomiao tilted her head to express her puzzlement.
Ling Qianyi said solemnly, “An ancient tree has a spirit. This tree may be hundreds of years old. It may have been built by the Wanshan Sect. We are all younger generations, how can we hurt its life?!”
It was not that Song Miaomiao was not kind. In the 22nd century, she wouldn’t hurt even a small tree, not to mention a hundreds of years old tree, but that was just the world in the novel.
She would plant a hundred trees in the 22nd century after leaving this world.
So, at the moment, she only cared about finishing the task first.
Song Miaomiao didn’t have the time to scribble with Ling Qianyi on the ground, and she was about to grab the fire bag.
During the dispute between the two, Master Fang’s voice extinguished all hope, “It’s time!”
Dozens of brothers stationed in every corner of the mountain forest distributed the notes prepared in advance to all the applicants who were still present.
Master Fang said again, “Please write your name, answer and number on the paper together, and hand it over after you finish writing.”
For a time, there were complaints and sorrows.
“Ahhhh!”
“Write? What to write?! I can’t!”
“Let’s go. You guys, what are you still doing?”
“I haven’t finished counting yet.”
“…”
Song Miaomiao felt a little more balanced in her heart; most of them hadn’t finished counting. But what was the use of the competition? The Wanshan Sect couldn’t accept so many people in the first place!
Ling Qianyi’s face turned livid; he let out a long sigh and wrote down on the paper the answer he had counted out before shaking the leaves. Ling Qianyi led Song Miaomiao to the gate at the foot of Jianshan Mountain, silently waiting for the final result. The people at the foot of the mountain were less than a quarter of what they were a day before.
Hey, this is life! Originally, I had a car accident in modern times, but I lived for three years longer by transmigrating into my novel. Most importantly, I also met the male lead in it.
Brother Master Fang stood at the most conspicuous place of the mountain gate stairs like the previous day, saying, “Now, I will announce the results of the first competition. A total of 292 answers were submitted in this competition.”
“292?” Ling Qianyi was surprised.
Song Miaomiao was also surprised.
Everyone was whispering.
“How many people were there yesterday?”
“If I remember correctly, it was 1751 yesterday.”
“From 1751 people to 292 people!”
“292 people gave the answers, and there are two rounds of competitions to come. Wanshan Sect won’t accept everyone, right?”
“Maybe the remaining two rounds are particularly easy.”
“I don’t think so.”
After Senior Brother Master Fang posted the topic, Song Miaomiao heard a small group of people yelling and gave up when they arrived at the woods. When it was getting darker, a small number of people chose to quit and went down the mountain. Then Senior Brother Master Fang reminded them twice to tell the time, but some people gave up. In the end, when writing the answers, a small number of people didn’t even take the answer sheet, and some people just left.
A small part each time, several times down, more and more people left, less than one-eighth of the people left.
This thing was like taking the civil service or postgraduate entrance examination. When signing up, everyone applied for it all at once, but before the review started, some people gave up. Some people gave up at each stage of the review, some people gave up before the exam or even on the day of the exam, and some people just answered the questions casually. Therefore, looking at it comprehensively, the real competitors were actually much lower than the number of applicants.
Master Fang waited for the discussion to subside and said word by word, “These 292 people, congratulations to all of you for entering the next competition tomorrow.”
