I asked you to dig wild vegetables to pay off your debt, not go up the mountain to pick up money!

Song An Ning quickly looked at the brush on the table. The scary thing was that from the outside, it looked like it had not been touched by anyone.

Even if my uncle and grandfather checked it a hundred times, it would be of no use.

While she was stunned, Song Xing was putting the stationery back into the wooden box that he was going to take to the exam room.

"Wait a minute!"

Everyone: ?

Song Anning snatched the brush from his uncle's hand and said seriously:

"No! This pen has been touched."

Song Xing looked down at the brand new brush, and there was an emotion in his eyes that Song An Ning couldn't understand.

"Impossible! This is a brush I got two days ago and have only used a few times.

The brush tip is sharp, and the bristles are round like a date pit, making it very easy to use."

Song Dashan picked up the brush in his granddaughter's hand, looked at it carefully, and even tapped the pen shaft, but still found no clues.

"Aning, I know you're careful, but we've checked these things over a dozen times. There won't be any problems, don't worry."

Song Anning ignored him and used her mind-reading skills on Song Xing. Her eyes were deep and she asked calmly:

"Is this a gift from someone else to my uncle?"

"Yes! Liu Jingye has been my friend for many years. We met when we were in school in town."

"Liu Jingye...

From Liujia Village?"

After hearing his niece ask this, Song Xing became more talkative.

"We're from Liujia Village, so we go to and from school together..."

Song Xing picked up the brush again and checked it. After finding that there was nothing inside, he put it back in the box with peace of mind.

But Song An Ning refused to give in. She snatched the box, took out the pen, and exerted a little force with her palm.

A snap...

"Aning!"

"you……"

Just as everyone was about to speak, they saw three notes rolled into thin tubes stuffed in the center of the pen that Song An Ning had broken. When they opened one of them at random, they saw that it was covered with dense words.

"This……"

Everyone present was speechless with shock, while Song Anning looked at the structure of the pen and stated calmly:

"The tip of this pen is integral to the barrel and cannot be moved.

So, uncle, do you understand now?"

Song Xing's face turned very ugly. How could he not understand?

It was one piece, which meant it was made from a single piece of wood. So even if he and his family checked it dozens of times, they couldn't see anything.

The person who harmed him didn't buy him a ready-made brush. Instead, he polished the brush shaft himself, hollowed out a section of the shaft at the tip, and put the note inside...

In this way, if you bring it into the examination room, the examiner and the inspector will not find it. However, how can someone with ulterior motives do useless work?

If he accidentally stepped on it, the pen would break. Or if he reported it directly, Song Xing's hard work would become a joke. If he was caught cheating, he would never be allowed to take the exam again.

"What a vicious mind."

Song Dashan and Zhang's voices were shaking when they spoke.

Song An Ning looked at the time and saw that it was still early, so he said nothing, picked up the inkstone and turned it over.

I went outside and found something hard and scratched it.

"Crash..."

The black debris jumped on the table, as if mocking Song Xing's sincerity towards his classmates over the years.

As a layer of hard black substance was knocked off, a square piece of paper covered with small words was stuck on it.

"..."

The room was eerily quiet, but it wasn't over yet, Song An Ning was still dismantling.

There was also a note stuffed in the pen holder of the brush my uncle usually used, and in the lining of the clothes he often wore.

There is a saying in this era that when students take exams, they should wear the clothes, shoes and stationery they usually wear.

Therefore, if you want to harm someone, your chances of success are greater if you start from this aspect.

"A Ning, how did you figure that out?"

Song Erhe asked this question tremblingly. He had been a magistrate for decades and thought he had seen a lot of darkness and tricks, but today, everyone present saw how vicious a person could be.

“I’m learning how to dispense medicine from my master, and I can even feel the slightest weight.

The pen just now was hollow in the middle, so it would be a little heavier."

"However, now is not the time to talk about this. I'm afraid these things of my uncle's are no longer useful.

Fortunately, when I came from home, I was afraid that this kind of thing would happen, so I brought a lot with me.

Big brother, go get the wooden box from the carriage."

Song Zeyu moved quickly and retrieved the box in a short while. Song Anning pulled Song Xing, opened the box, and let him choose.

"This pen holder is made of huanghuali wood...

This is from Buffalo Horn...

Uncle, just pick a few that are comfortable to use.

And this inkstone, ink stick, ruler..."

Song Anning prepared several copies of everything, especially the brushes, large and small, dozens of them.

Song Xing was just getting anxious and angry. He would be going to the battlefield in more than an hour, but now he has no weapons. What should he do?

And his long-time friend was framed at this moment. He was sad, angry, and puzzled...

But as Song An Ning opened the wooden box, he was dazzled by the choices.

"Oh my God! Aning, are you robbing a bookstore?

How can there be so many? "

“Don’t worry about it, uncle, there are plenty at home, pick the one you like.

I'm afraid today won't be peaceful. After we finish choosing, let's go eat and then we'll go to the examination hall early."

"it is good!"

After what happened just now, everyone was on high alert and didn't dare to make any mistakes.

Song An Ning also asked Xiangxiang to scan it more than ten times, even the headband on her uncle's head was not spared.

"Master, don't worry. I've checked everything out! There's no problem at all. We can go!"

"Give my uncle a Qingming Pill and an advanced Jiedu Pill.

Just put it directly into his stomach, no more hassles!"

"Hahaha, great, that saves a lot of trouble."

There was still an hour before the candidates left the exam room. The whole family was ready and sent Song Xing out to take the exam with smiles on their faces.

Everything that just happened was kept in everyone's mind, and they just reminded him again and again not to trust others easily and to be careful in everything!

There are not many students in Ping'an Town. The examination room is located in a large courtyard behind the government office, which only takes a quarter of an hour to walk to.

Song Xing had just arrived nearby and was talking to his family when he heard someone calling him.

"Ah Xing...

here……"

Following the voice, I saw a young man of about eighteen or nineteen waving at Song Xing.

He has slightly dark skin, and when he smiles he shows a row of big white teeth. He looks silly and a little different from the fair and thin students around him.

"That's Liu Jingye?"

"Um……"

Song Xing responded softly and nodded towards Liu Jingye, with a politeness and distance that he had never shown before.

Song Anning glanced at Liu Jingye with interest. It was quite interesting...

"Don't judge a book by its cover! This kid looks honest... and a little silly, but I don't think..."

The Song family members were also muttering quietly, "This child looks good, but his heart is more poisonous than a scorpion! Stay away!"

Seeing that Song Xing just nodded and didn't go over, Liu Jingye was slightly stunned. He looked carefully at Song Xing's clothes, and there was a bit of exasperation in his eyes. He walked over angrily.

"Ah Xing! What happened?

We agreed to wear navy blue gowns together, why did you change it secretly?

That's right, your family is rich and you don't like pure cotton clothes.

Unlike me, whose undershirt is still patched!"

"..."

The Song family rolled their eyes. Why did the way he spoke sound so similar to He Lian'er...

Song An Ning also secretly cursed her as a green tea in her heart.

But A Yuan shook his head, took a step forward, pointed at Liu Jingye, and spoke crisply...

"Big brother, you are wrong!"
