In fact, Fang Zheng did not leave the imperial examination room.
He is still in the imperial examination room.
When he heard the footsteps of several people behind him, his figure flashed very quickly, and he temporarily hid himself in an examination room where there were no candidates.
As for why there are no candidates in this examination room
There are so many possibilities.
It may be death, illness, family accidents, flooding of the hometown, mudslides in the mountains...or natural disasters and man-made disasters and escape, or being robbed and killed by bandits on the way to the city to take the exam...or being caught cheating. Exit halfway through diarrhea and so on...
Fangzheng didn't bother to think about the real reason.
The footsteps of those invigilators have been wandering around the area, as if they are patrolling the area to check if any candidates are cheating.
After about half an hour, the invigilators left.
When they passed the examination room where Fangzheng was hiding, these invigilators walked over as if they hadn't seen them.
It's as if he didn't see such a big goal as Fangzheng.
The Demon Ape was two meters tall, and there was nowhere to hide in the cramped compartment.
But for such a big goal, those invigilators walked over together, but they just couldn't find Fang Zheng.
Watching the invigilators leave, Fangzheng's eyes showed thinking.
Obviously, there's something quirky about this place.
Even though it looks calm, it is actually not peaceful at all.
because!
These are dead things! Not a living person!
Fang Zheng in the examination room glanced around the examination room where he was hiding now.
"Ding Wei?"
"Is the candidates in this imperial examination room sorted according to the five elements of the heavenly stems and earthly branches?"
Fang Zheng saw a wooden sign painted as red as blood in the examination room.
The word Ding Wei is engraved on the wooden sign.
Ding Wei compared the number forty-four in the five elements of the heavenly stems and earthly branches.
Since the upheaval of the world, Fang Zheng has studied the cultural heritage left by his ancestors a lot, so he can recognize the number represented by Ding Wei.
"Damn it's forty-four...I'm a little panicked now, this number is not auspicious at all."
The devil knows why the exam room he picked at random happened to be forty-four.
I don't know if it was a coincidence, or is there something ghostly at work
Just when Fangzheng was thinking wildly for a while, suddenly, in the imperial examination room, which had been quiet all the time and was exceptionally peaceful, the sound of watchmen beating clappers and gongs could be heard.
"Second watch at Haishi, close the doors and windows to prevent theft and theft!"
Boom! Boom!
In the quiet environment, there were two bangs.
Remind people that they have entered the second watch.
"Second watch?"
"The second watch corresponds to modern time, which is almost between nine o'clock in the evening and eleven o'clock in the evening... It is already late at night."
The ancients lacked evening entertainment.
And it takes a few minutes to make a baby.
So after nine o'clock in the evening, for the ancients, it was already late at night when everyone was sleeping soundly.
Don't ask Fangzheng why he knows such cold knowledge.
After the outside world became more and more unsettled, he frequently inquired about all kinds of ancient knowledge.
When he heard the sound of beating in the imperial examination room, the muscles in Fang Zheng's arm holding the knife suddenly tensed, and if there was a slight mistake, he would immediately burst out of the examination room to kill the enemy.
The voice of the watchman was getting closer and closer, and not long after, the figure of the watchman appeared in front of Fang Zheng.
A hunchbacked old man appeared in front of Fang!
Fangzheng recognized the hunchbacked old man at a glance!
But the hunchbacked old man didn't recognize him, or rather, the hunchbacked old man didn't see him, and went away without turning his eyes.
But now the hunchbacked old man didn't read those strange poems, but acted like an ordinary watchman.
Hearing the beeping sound getting farther and farther away, gradually blurring and disappearing, Fang Zheng was wandering in the narrow space of the examination room, thinking in place.
From time to time, look up at your surroundings.
I don't even know what he's planning.
Just as Fangzheng was thinking, suddenly!
Fangzheng felt a pair of eyes peeping at him in the darkness.
But when Fangzheng wanted to look for it, the pair of peeping eyes disappeared immediately.
After doing this several times, Fangzheng temporarily gave up the idea of going out.
Before the voyeur behind the scenes is caught, all unauthorized actions are putting oneself in danger.
Time passed by so quietly.
ten minutes.
half an hour.
One hour.
The pair of peeping eyes in the darkness were always there and never disappeared.
Fangzheng has been trying to find out where those peeping eyes came from
He almost went through the narrow and small test room completely. It was just a matter of tearing down the examination room, and then split the boards one by one to carefully look for holes made by termites!
Another ten minutes passed...
Just when Fang was searching the examination room inch by inch, when he happened to be inspecting the wooden boards of the examination room, the feeling of voyeurism reappeared.
"Um?"
Fangzheng noticed that the voyeurism felt very close this time, so close that as soon as he noticed it, he immediately found the root cause.
It was a small slit on the wooden board of the compartment. The slit was so small that if you didn't look for it carefully, you could easily overlook it.
I don't know whether the slit was dug out artificially, or whether it is a quality workmanship problem, because the slit is too small, and there are any possibilities.
And the sense of voyeurism before!
It was the exam room next door to him from behind the slit!
However, when Fangzheng found the slit on the wooden plank, the feeling of peeping had disappeared.
Fangzheng looked at the cracks in the wooden boards in front of him, and narrowed his eyes.
He didn't expose the candidate next door right away, but started to sit in the examination room like a normal person, imitating other candidates, as if he was seriously doing scientific examination papers.
Not long after, that sense of voyeurism reappeared!
Fangzheng seemed to have known this would happen a long time ago, his figure flashed, and the person appeared behind the thin crack in the plank.
There was a black thing behind the cracks in the board, and it disappeared in a flash, and the feeling of being peeped disappeared again.
Next, Fang Zheng dug out a piece of mud from the soil under his feet to seal the cracks in the planks.
As a result, the voyeuristic feeling appeared again!
Fangzheng turned his head and saw that the mud that had blocked the small cracks in the planks had been pierced.
Fang Zheng lowered his head and pondered for a while.
Then, I saw him pick up the pillows prepared for the candidates in the examination room and seal up the small cracks in the planks.
One minute, two minutes, five minutes... The feeling of peeping did not appear again this time, just rustling, rustling... like a mouse digging a hole in the middle of the night, or the sound of a mouse grinding its teeth and gnawing something, very slight and very careful, In the quiet night, it sounds like sneaking and sneaking.
Fangzheng frowned.
He turned his head to look at the pillow used to block the small crack in the plank, and the next second, he took the pillow away and held it in front of his eyes.
Ah.
Fangzheng sneered.
I saw that the side of the pillow that was used to block the small cracks in the board seemed to have been cut by some sharp object, and a hole had already been broken, and some wheat ears and chaff fillings fell out.
This seemingly peaceful imperial examination room is indeed not peaceful at all.
This time, Fangzheng simply didn't use things to block the small cracks in the wooden boards. He stuck behind the wooden boards in the compartment and squatted quietly in front of the small cracks.
one second.
two seconds.
time flies…
Suddenly, an eyeball met Fangzheng's eyes through the cracks in the planks!
