Eating big melon is so refreshing

After a heavy rain, the sky was clean of dust, and the sun shone through the clouds onto the ground of the temple. Crystal clear water droplets hung on the leaves, glittering with light, and the air was filled with the fragrance of the soil and a fresh breath.

However, in this tranquil and vibrant scene, the cicadas under the trees began their annual chorus.

The cicadas' chirping is like the fine strings of a musical instrument, being plucked one after another, continuously. Their chirping echoes among the trees, as if telling the passion of summer and the vitality of life.

In classrooms

Several students who were racking their brains over how to solve the eight-part essay problem were made even more irritated by the incessant chirping of cicadas.

"I can't write. I have no inspiration." Xiao Chunya felt her mind was blank. She looked at the big tree outside the window. Her thoughts were already in a mess. The endless cicada sounds were more like an invisible pair of scissors, constantly cutting off the inspiration that was about to form in her mind.

"It's really annoying to hear him yelling all day long."

Luo Xiaopang couldn't write a single word. He was so annoyed that he wanted to hit a cicada. He always felt that the cicada was laughing at him. The sound was quite harsh.

Xiao Qiu said in a cool tone, "When your heart is calm, you will feel cooler." The cicada's call is a rhythm of nature, a rhythm of life. The root cause of not being able to write an article lies in yourself. There is no point in taking your anger out on the little cicada.

Xiao Chunya picked up the pen angrily and started to think again. Now she knew that half of these test questions were from the provincial examination. If she changed her way of thinking, if she could answer similar test questions, the chances of passing the college examination would be very high!

I came back to Mingyue Villa on April 25th, took a day off on May 15th, and then continued to work on solving questions intensively.

On May 28th, 29th and 30th, there were mock exams for the college entrance examination. Xiao Chunya and others were arranged into a small dormitory to take a closed exam for three days and two nights. It was an exhausting exam for anyone.

There were only two wooden boards in the cell. During the day, I put the boards into the slots and it became a writing table. At night, I put the boards back together and it became a bed. At least there was straw in the prison, but there was not a single straw.

I overworked my brain during the day, and at night I lay on a hard bed, tossing and turning and unable to fall asleep. What made me even more desperate was that the two meals a day were oil-free and low-salt meals that were hard to swallow unless they were cooked well and didn’t cause diarrhea. Dogs would run away if they smelled them.

During the provincial examination, I left the Imperial Examination Hall the same day and could go back to the inn to eat and sleep. I didn’t feel how miserable the examination was.

Under the torture of this environment, Xiao Chunya's eye sockets became deeply sunken, her face was pale, and she looked extremely haggard.

When the exam was over, Xiao Chunya almost staggered out of the dormitory. Before she had walked ten meters, she fell to the ground with a thump.

"Baby!" Zhao Erlang rushed over, and when he saw the miserable appearance of his fat girl, his eyes turned red and he was so distressed that he almost cried.

Xiao Qiulin's condition was much better than Xiao Chunya's. He calmly checked the fat sister's pulse and said without any surprise, "Overuse of the brain, insomnia, hunger, just rest for two days."

Zhao Erlang couldn't help but say, "Doesn't the Imperial Examination Hall provide two meals a day?"

Xiao Qiulin said calmly, "The fat sister is picky about food. I guess she only eats white rice. How can she have the strength without salt? She can hold on for one day, but she will suffer for two days. If she holds on for three days, won't she faint from hunger?"

Talking

Luo Xiaopang dragged his exhausted body and staggered out of the cell that symbolized his liberation. His eyes had lost their former luster and became blurry and empty, like two crystal balls that had lost their focus, emitting a heartbreaking confusion.

Luo Xiaopang's steps were slow and weak, and every step he took was like struggling in the mud. The expression on his face was frozen in an indescribable dullness. He used to be smart and lively, but now it was as if his soul had been taken away, leaving only an empty shell moving mechanically.

"Little Fatty!" Grandpa Luo ran over and caught the fallen Little Fatty Luo. He suddenly became panicked.

dorm room

The doctor was already prepared. He felt the little fat boy's pulse first and said, "Don't panic. He has been overworking his brain and has not been sleeping well. He will be fine after two days of rest."

Grandpa Luo then breathed a sigh of relief. Poor little fat boy, it was grandpa’s fault that he was useless. Grandpa couldn’t enter the back door of Xuanwuwei.

Luo Xiaomei quietly followed the doctor to the next room, eavesdropped for a while and then came back.

"Grandpa, the doctor said that sister Chun'er's condition is worse than her brother's. Not only did she overwork her brain and have trouble sleeping, she also fainted from hunger." Little sister Luo reported what she overheard. She was frightened when she saw little Chunya and her brother faint one after another.

"Master, the rice bowl in the Imperial Examination Hall is too small, and the little country girl's appetite..." Everyone understood what Luo Fu meant.

Grandpa Luo knew that little Fatty's appetite was indeed bigger than that of his little Fatty. However, his little Fatty did not starve, but little Fatty fainted from hunger. In all likelihood, she did not eat well and must have disliked the food in the Imperial Examination Hall.

Zhao Erlang, the father who dotes on his daughter like crazy, was like a different person at this moment, scolding his daughter who had just woken up. His face was no longer filled with his usual doting smile, but was replaced by a serious and angry look. His hands were clenched into fists, as if he was trying his best to control his emotions, but the severity of his words did not diminish at all.

His daughter is not an ordinary child. Blaming her for not understanding will only cause her to rebel. He must reason with his daughter, from the importance of health to the responsibilities of life, from the expectations of the family to personal self-discipline. His words are sharp and profound, and every point of view is touching.

Only bystanders knew that Zhao Erlang had such a good eloquence. No wonder the brother and sister liked to debate with others. It turned out that it all came from this seemingly gentle father.

Xiao Chunya has one advantage, she will do what she promised. This time she was indeed wrong, because she disliked the food and would rather starve than eat, and the consequences were serious enough to be fatal.

Fatigue, hunger, and overwork of the brain. If you catch any minor illness at this time, it will become a serious illness within these three days. If you are lucky, you can save your life, but if you are unlucky, you will die directly.

Xiao Chunya felt that her life was still quite valuable, and since she disdained food and would rather die of starvation, this was more difficult for her to accept than the death in her previous life. When she met the King of Hell in the future, she would probably be laughed at by a group of little ghosts!

She couldn't afford to lose face, and she also overestimated her own physique. Her physical fitness was not as good as she thought. Part of her strength was converted from contribution value, which is what is called puffiness. She was not a strong fat person!
