Chapter 70

The sun is about to set. Outside the National Art Museum in Qinghe County, people are still crowded. Countless people are waiting outside the museum.

Among those waiting were the parents, brothers, grandfathers, uncles, servants, stewards and friends of the same age.

For the people of Qinghe County, the day of the national skill test every year is like a festival. It is a major event in the county. On weekdays, as long as there are men at home and they are school-age families, the most common question when they meet on weekdays is whether your children are ready to participate in this year's national skill test this year, and how are their weekdays results, Or whether he was admitted to Pingxi County National Art College.

This situation is just like the college entrance examination of Yan Liqiang's previous life. Every college entrance examination affects the hearts of thousands of families.

Among the hustle and bustle of men waiting outside the Chinese Martial Arts Museum, there are several women, such as a little red in the ten thousand green bushes, which are particularly eye-catching. They are several county matchmakers who are old but still dressed brightly. These matchmakers have smart eyes and can talk. They gather here today to exchange information in their hands, I'm also staring at the big test results in the Chinese Martial Arts Museum, ready to find some young talents.

You know, after the national skill test every year, these matchmakers are the busiest and best time for business.

In addition to these matchmakers, there are several who lead horses, immediately hang gongs and wear red fast feet. They stand in the distance of the crowd and watch. These fast feet usually take some work of passing messages or delivering letters. Today, these fast feet gather here and also come here to earn fast money. If your feet are fast enough and you are lucky enough, you can rush to report the top three happiness today. The news and money you get may be worth their hard work for a week. If you meet a large family, you may get more rewards for a month.

I don't know when the people gathered at the gate of the National Art Museum suddenly made a commotion.

"Come on, come on, the results of this year's national skill test have come out..."

Someone shouted.

Hearing this cry, countless people rushed towards the gate of the National Art Museum consciously or unconsciously.

A group of officials from the Chinese Martial Arts Museum who came out of the gate formed a circle with great experience to block the crowd coming here. They protected the two people holding tools to post the golden list among several people. While walking towards the notice wall next to the list, they shouted, "let's give way, let's give way, don't squeeze, don't squeeze, the more crowded, the slower, After we post the list, you can see the results of this national skill contest! "

"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze..."

The people at the front of the crowd also shouted, and slowly calmed down the surging crowd.

After a hot sweat, several officials of the National Art Museum finally came to the notice wall. Several officials and the people in front spontaneously protected it and asked them not to squeeze. The remaining two officials quickly climbed the stairs that had long been erected here, unfolded a big red notice more than two meters above the ground and pasted it on the wall.

Just after the notice was posted, before the stairs could be removed in time, the people around could not help but rush up. A group of librarians quickly withdrew and gave the open space in front of the notice to the crowd waiting outside.

Everyone's eyes fell on the top of the list.

List of national art County test in Qinghe County, Pingxi County, Ganzhou in the 12th year of Yuanping of the Han Empire

The first place in the top three in the national skill examination: Yan Liqiang, Liuhe Town.

Shen Teng, Qinghe County, won the second place in the top three in the national skill examination.

Third place in the top three in the national skill test: Shidafeng, langu town.

……

On the list, the names of the top three people are the largest and most conspicuous. After Shi Dafeng, there are the names of the other seven people in the top ten. The names of the latter seven people are slightly smaller than Yan Liqiang. At the same time, they are not ranked, but are arranged from less to more according to the number of words and strokes of their names.

After the names of the top ten, there are the names and origins of the other 40 candidates.

Seeing this list, some people were happy, some were disappointed, some jumped and cheered, while others sighed and shook their heads. However, almost everyone had a question in mind - Yan Liqiang, who is Yan Liqiang? When did such a powerful boy appear in Liuhe Town.

The crowd of onlookers made a lot of voices, especially the matchmakers. After seeing the names of the first three people on the list, they beat the people around them and listened to the information of Yan Liqiang, Shen Teng and Shi Dafeng.

"Eh, I seem to have heard of Yan Liqiang..." a middle-aged man in the crowd looked at Yan Liqiang's name and suddenly seemed to think of something. Listening to him, many people around him surrounded at once, and many people pricked their ears. "I don't know if you have heard of the way to treat drowning people from Huanglong county?"

"You're talking about the method of moxibustion on the navel. Of course, I've heard that four children drowned in our village a few days ago. Finally, this method was used to save two people who had been drowned for several hours and had not been saved!" Someone nearby said suddenly.

"Yes, that's the way. I went to Huanglong county to handle goods a few days ago. I heard people say that the method of moxibustion on the navel to treat drowning people seems to have been passed on by a teenager named Yan Liqiang in Qinghe County. It's said that the teenager named Yan Liqiang was taught by a divine man in his dream, so I know such a wonderful method, These two Yan Liqiang are not the same person... "

"Ah, there's such a thing..."

"There are few Yan surnames, and there are not many Yan surnames in Qinghe County. If there are people with the same name and surname, it's really a coincidence..."

"Yes, yes, yes, it should be the same person..."

Someone added, "I remember the son of Yan blacksmith in Liuhe Town. It seems that his name is Yan Liqiang..."

The crowd of onlookers suddenly burst into an uproar,

After seeing the list of the top three on the list, the fast feet quickly turned over and got on the horse. With the fastest speed, they rushed to Liuhe Town, langu town and the other side of the county.

The man who rode the fastest took a path and shortcut on the way. He was the first one to rush to Liuhe Town. Just entering the street of Liuhe Town, the man picked up the Gong hung on his horse. While riding on the horse, he knocked the gong to attract the attention of the people around him. At the same time, he shouted along the way in a high and loud voice, "good luck, Good news, young master Yan Liqiang of Liuhe Town won the gold medal in today's Guoshu County test and the top of the top three in Senior High School... "

"Good news, good news. Young master Yan Liqiang of Liuhe Town won the gold medal in today's Guoshu County test and the top of the top three in high school..."

The sound of the good news blew across the street like a gust of wind. Many people couldn't believe their ears when they heard the news.

Blacksmith Yan's son is naturally known, but no one can think that blacksmith Yan's son can actually be the top three in high school in today's national skill test. The whole Liuhe Town has not been the top three in the national skill test for many years.

"Elder brother, do you know how to get to master Yan Liqiang's house? I'm going to report the good news to master Yan's house. Liuhe Town finally won the top three this year..." seeing a butcher selling meat in the street in a daze, the quick foot who reported the good news stopped his horse in front of the meat stall and asked the butcher a question kindly.

The stunned butcher Liu suddenly gave a pep talk, then quickly pointed to the Liuhe River in the distance with a smile on his face, "that Yan... Childe Yan's house is by the river. His family has a blacksmith workshop, and the family with the highest chimney by the river is..." speaking of this, butcher Liu swallowed a mouthful of water, looked up and asked carefully, "By the way... Well... You said Yan Liqiang was named on the golden list. You wouldn't be wrong..."

"Ha ha, the first place on the gold list posted outside the Chinese martial arts museum is the name of Childe Yan and Liuhe Town. Many people have seen it and talked about it one by one. What's wrong? If I make this wrong, I might as well pull out my moves directly and do something fast..." the happy fast foot said without delay, Once again, the horse rushed towards Yan Liqiang's house.

"Good news, good news, young master Yan Liqiang of Liuhe Town won the gold medal in today's Guoshu County test, and the top of the top three in high school..." the person who reported the good news knocked the gong and shouted loudly. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared in front of butcher Liu. Only the sound of the gong and shouting came faintly.

Although the sun was about to set and the temperature slowly dropped, listening to the news from farther and farther away, butcher Liu seemed to have lost his soul. His face turned white and his eyes were listless. Just in the blink of an eye, there was a thin layer of sweat on the shiny forehead. Butcher Liu's hands trembled when he thought of what he had done to Yan's father and son on weekdays.

"Dad... Who knocked and screamed outside just now..." butcher Liu's son came out of the house behind the butcher's stall with a cooked pig's foot in his hand and his face was greasy.

When he saw his son again at this time, butcher Liu suddenly became angry and slapped his son in the face. He scolded, "eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat. When you were asked to practice martial arts since childhood, you cry bitterly as soon as you squat on the horse. You can't insist on a cup of tea. How can I have a son like you..."

Butcher Liu's son was directly stunned by his father. After a few seconds, he suddenly reacted and cried.

……

In the Yan family, Zhou Hongda and his wife have already cooked the food and cooked the chicken soup, waiting for Yan Liqiang to come back.

Yan Dechang and manager Lu were also in the yard, chatting and waiting.

But what they are waiting for is not Yan Liqiang, but a happy foot.

"Bang... Bang... Bang... Good news, good news. Young master Yan Liqiang of Liuhe Town won the gold medal in today's Guoshu County test and the top of the top three in high school..."

When they just heard the sound, they looked at each other and thought they had heard it wrong, but in the twinkling of an eye, the sound was clear from far to near.

"Bang... Bang... Bang... Good news, good news. Young master Yan Liqiang of Liuhe Town won the gold medal in today's Guoshu County test and was the top of the top three in Senior High School..." Yan Dechang still couldn't believe it, but manager Lu stood up with excitement on his face“ Bang... Bang... Bang... It's good news. Young master Yan Liqiang of Liuhe Town won the gold medal in today's national art County test and was the top of the top three in high school... "The sound has come outside the house, and then there is the sound of slapping the door. Before supervisor Lu orders, Zhou Tiezhu has rushed over and opened the door. A smiling fast foot with a Gong was already standing outside the door, and a group of neighbors around Yan's house came to watch the excitement“ I'm here to report the good news to Mr. Yan. Mr. Yan won the gold medal in the national art County test today and won the top of the top three in high school. Mr. Yan will make great achievements in the future!
