Restart the Disaster of Another World

On February 20, the imperial examination was in full swing. Candidates from all over the country got up before dawn, quickly packed their luggage, and hurried to the Imperial Examination Hall.

The weather in February is still very cold, especially this year's rare heavy snow, which makes it even colder. The cold wind blows on people's faces, bringing a stinging feeling like being cut.

When Wen Yu arrived at the Imperial Examination Hall, he found a large crowd of people gathered at the entrance. These candidates gathered in twos and threes, sometimes talking loudly, sometimes looking around expectantly. The ground was filled with densely packed large packages, and the scene in front of him could only be described as "chaotic".

"Brother Wen!" Wen Yu heard someone calling his name from afar. He turned his head and took a closer look, then slowly walked over and said with a bow, "Brother Li, Brother Ma, long time no see."

Ma Qinghong returned the greeting and said with a smile, "Yes, it has been several months since we last parted. You are so hard to please!"

Li Tong couldn't help but chuckle when he heard that, and said jokingly, "Haha, I've long wanted to have a good chat with you about the past, but I never had the chance. Today I finally got the chance!"

Wen Yu laughed after hearing this and responded generously: "After the exam, I will treat everyone to a meal! Oh, by the way, where are the others? Why can't I see anyone?"

Li Tong's eyes revealed a trace of worry, and he replied softly: "We don't live together, and we haven't seen each other for several days."

While a few people were chatting, the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall slowly opened. The originally noisy crowd suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the vermilion gate.

He slowly searched for his old friends in the crowd, and when he saw the door of the Imperial Examination Hall opened, he hurriedly greeted them and quickly returned to his own queue. At this time, the officials of the Imperial Examination Hall had already begun to call out the names one by one according to the list.

Among the many candidates, Wen Yu also saw many familiar faces. These people were friends he met when he was studying at Shangjing Academy, and most of them were children of noble families in Shangjing.

Wen Yu has a very good personality. He is like a ray of warm sunshine. He can exude his unique charm wherever he goes. Even though he joined the class midway, he quickly made many like-minded friends. Whenever they saw Wen Yu, they would greet him enthusiastically, as if they had known each other for a long time.

As for those people who didn't get along with him, Wen Yu was also very indifferent. His expression didn't change at all, as if he didn't know them at all, and he wouldn't even give them a glance.

Wen Yu always maintains a peaceful attitude, neither actively provoking others nor letting others easily violate his bottom line. This kind of neither humble nor arrogant, non-competitive way of dealing with the world makes people feel very comfortable.

As the examiner called the roll, Li Tong was the first to enter the examination room. Then it was Ma Qinghong's turn. He patted Wen Yu on the shoulder and said earnestly, "I am waiting here for the good news that you have passed the imperial examination."

Wen Yu smiled slightly, with a nice arc at the corner of his mouth, and responded softly: "You too."

Then, Ma Qinghong picked up his bag and strode towards the Imperial Examination Hall. His steps were firm and powerful, and he seemed to be full of confidence in this exam.

The waiting time lasted about a cup of tea, and finally it was Wen Yu's turn. He turned around and bowed to the other classmates, then strode forward.

After a careful inspection, the official let Wen Yu pass without any hindrance and signaled him to go to his seat. This time, Wen Yu was arranged to sit in the east, which was very close to the invigilator. It could be said to be one of the most ideal rooms in the entire Imperial Examination Hall. In summer, it might be a little hot, but in this early spring, it was the warmest and most pleasant place.

Wen Yu couldn't help but feel a little surprised, but overall, this was undoubtedly a good thing. As long as he could get excellent results in the exam, why should he care about other things? After all the candidates were present, the invigilator began to hand out the test papers.

Wen Yu slowly unfolded the test paper and carefully read through the questions. He was secretly happy in his heart. The questions were well-behaved. He had thought about them countless times and knew them by heart. At this moment, he was full of confidence, as if victory was just around the corner.

He gently picked up the pen, wrote freely, his thoughts flowed like a spring, and answered the questions as fast as flowing water. Time quietly flowed under the pen, and before he knew it, he had finished most of the test questions.

Just as Wen Yu was concentrating on answering the questions, a piercing cold wind suddenly blew into the simple house mercilessly. He shuddered involuntarily, and his eyes were drawn to the outside.

The scene outside the high wall brightened his eyes. He saw the snow piled on the branches swaying in the wind, as if silently telling an unknown story. Wen Yu stared at the pure white snow scene quietly, and his thoughts gradually drifted away.

However, at this moment, he suddenly came to his senses and suddenly realized that he was taking an exam at this moment. He quickly shook his head, trying to gather his mind and focus on the test paper in front of him.

The weather gradually began to clear up, with the sun shining through the clouds more and more brightly. The people in the village began to go out, some sweeping snow, some shoveling roads, trying to restore the village to its former appearance. But the happiest people were the children who had been locked up in their rooms for months without being able to step out of the door.

Everyone was so excited that they started playing the "sit-on ski tub". This game is also very simple. You just need to take a board or a wooden tub from home and put it on the ground. You can sit on it and slide down from a high place. Even if it is flat ground, you can slide for a long time with just a gentle push from your companions.

Although they would fall down unexpectedly from time to time, they would not feel any pain because they were wearing thick clothes. They also found that they were no longer as afraid of the cold as before. Of course, they were not completely afraid of the cold, and they would still shiver when the wind blew, but they no longer felt that their ears, noses and toes were about to be frozen off.

Was it because they had gradually adapted to the cold? Or was it because they were wearing thick enough clothes? Don't dwell on this question, it was a good thing for them anyway. In this way, they ran all the way to the entrance of the village, and their speed gradually slowed down. At this time, the brave children in the village also brought basins and played the "skiing" game on the frozen stream surface. However, the place where they played was on the frozen stream surface.

Although Jing Yao and Wen Qun have grown up, they are still full of childishness in their hearts. When they see other children playing in the snow, they can't help but feel envious. Wen Qun stares at those happy children, with desire and expectation in his eyes.

Jing Yao keenly caught Wen Qun's eyes, and he decided to create an unforgettable experience for Wen Qun. So Jing Yao started to make a special snow basin. He found a worn-out tire that he had collected at some unknown time, carefully wrapped it in a bed sheet, and then put a soft cotton pad in the middle. This snow basin looks simple, but it contains Jing Yao's good intentions.

After everything was ready, Jing Yao asked Wen Qun to sit on the snow basin and carefully wrapped him in a thick cotton jacket and cloak. Then, Jing Yao held the snow basin tightly and ran in the snow like a gust of wind. Jing Yao was very strong and ran very fast, as if he wanted to break the shackles of time with Wen Qun.

Wen Qun sat in the snow basin, feeling the cold wind whistling past, feeling excited and nervous. He couldn't help but scream, and the sound echoed in the silent snow. Behind Jing Yao, a group of curious children followed closely, trying to catch up with Jing Yao, but they could never surpass him.

This game of chasing in the snow made Jing Yao and Wen Qun experience unprecedented happiness. They forgot the troubles of the world and immersed themselves in pure joy. Every step of running was like flying towards freedom, and every scream released the long-suppressed emotions in their hearts. In this white world, they found their own childlike innocence and courage.

Wen Qun spotted two small fish frozen in the stream. He immediately lowered his voice and called out, "Ayao, Ayao, look over there."

Jing Yao looked in the direction of Wen Qun's finger and also noticed the two chopstick-length fish. He walked to the side silently, broke off a branch, and then used all his strength to insert it into the ice. However, the ice did not break, but the branch broke: "Qun Qun, wait here for a moment, I'll go back and get the hatchet."

The noise they made attracted the attention of the people around them. Seeing more and more children gathered around, Jing Yao was afraid that the ice would crack and the children would fall in, so he said, "Scatter away, go to the side and watch, go to the shore and watch, and don't gather around."

When everyone heard this, they were disappointed, but they obeyed the orders obediently. Some smart ones even ran back home to find their parents.

Soon, more and more villagers came over after hearing the news. When they saw that Jing Yao just chiseled a hole in the ice and scattered a handful of food into the water, which soon attracted a large number of fish, everyone followed suit.

Jing Yao and Wen Qun were the first to arrive and caught a lot of fish, but the others were not far behind either. They all lived by the river and went fishing very often. They knew better than Jing Yao what would attract the attention of fish and make them take the bait. Soon some of them came from behind and surpassed them.

After a whole winter of silence, everyone had a rare opportunity to gather together. It was so lively and every family harvested several buckets of fish. Jing Yao and Wen Qun looked at the two full buckets of fish, smiled at each other, and then started to walk home.

There was such a big bucket of fish, of various sizes and varieties, so the two of them simply processed them all and made them into delicious food. They hadn't eaten fish the entire winter, so today they were able to eat their fill all at once.

After cleaning the small fish, fry them in oil until both sides are golden brown, then add garlic, chili peppers and sour beans and simmer together. When it is almost ready to be served, sprinkle some chopped green onions and perilla leaves, stir-fry quickly for a few times, and the aroma will immediately spread. The small fish cooked in this way is delicious in color, aroma and taste, making people salivate.

As for the big fish, they need to scrape the scales and then pick the fish meat to make fish balls. These fish balls can be used to make delicious meatball soup. In addition, they also make pickled fish.

He took the big fish, rinsed it carefully with clean water, then removed the scales, internal organs and gills with quick movements, and made several even cuts on both sides of the fish. Then he rinsed it with water again and placed it in a small dustpan aside to drain for later use.

Afterwards, Wen Qun skillfully grabbed some sauerkraut, pickled peppers and young ginger from the kimchi jar, and even grabbed a handful of pickled radishes at the bottom.

Wen Qun saw that the sauerkraut was first squeezed dry, and then the young ginger and radish were cut into thin slices, while the chili peppers were chopped into fine pieces.

While Jing Yao was chopping fish meat to make meatballs, he started a fire behind the stove. When the fire started, he put two large pieces of dry firewood in it, so he didn't need to watch the fire for the time being.

On the other side, Wen Qun started to heat the oil in a pan, first heating the empty pan until it was slightly smoking, then pouring about a bowl of oil in. When the oil temperature gradually rose and began to smoke, he carefully put the drained fish into the pan and let it fry slowly.

After a while, Wen Qun picked up the golden and crispy fried fish, and then put the chopped chili and ginger slices that had been cut into pieces beside it into the pot. He continued to add appropriate amounts of cooking wine and soy sauce to the pot to enhance the flavor, and finally poured in water and chopped pickled green vegetables. When the soup boiled, he put the fish back into the pot, covered the pot and simmered it for a few minutes, and this delicious dish was ready.

After careful cooking, these dishes not only have no fishy smell, even the fish bones become crispy and delicious, and the taste is rich, sour and spicy, and delicious. The two were very satisfied with this sumptuous dinner and finally ate a large plate of food clean.

Wen Qun's belly was round from eating so much, Jing Yao asked him to lie on his lap and gently massaged his belly. Wen Qun squinted his eyes in comfort, with his pink little mouth slightly opened, like a well-behaved kitten.

Jing Yao stretched out his arms and gently passed them under Wen Qun's neck, his movements gentle and skillful. Wen Qun rolled into his warm embrace like a well-behaved kitten. They had been crawling and rolling in the snow for a whole day, and now that they were full and satisfied, they soon felt sleepy.

After a while, Wen Qun's eyelids gradually became heavy, and he soon fell into a sweet dream. When he slept, he always liked to stick close to Jing Yao, as if only in this way could he feel endless peace of mind and comfort. In Jing Yao's arms, he slept particularly sweetly.

As time went by, the temperature gradually began to rise. It rose by about one degree every day. When Wen Xing and his family returned, the temperature had risen to more than ten degrees. The weather was so warm that the family no longer needed to heat the kang. Even at night, they could open the windows and let the fresh natural wind blow into the room. This feeling was really wonderful.

When Wen Xing returned home, he also brought back an exciting piece of good news: the imperial examination in Shangjing had been successfully concluded, and Wen Yu performed outstandingly in this important exam, successfully winning the first place and becoming a first-class Jinshi!

At this moment, he was in Beijing actively preparing for the next palace examination. If he could still get the first place in the palace examination, he would become the top scholar that everyone was paying attention to. This good news made the whole family very excited.

When he first received the news, Wen Xing felt both happy and helpless. He knew that this child was destined to take a completely opposite path from himself, but he knew that the child would eventually grow up.

Jing Yao and Wen Qun were very happy. They were naturally proud of their brother-in-law for being so successful.
