Chapter 503: Finished Test

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“If you walk alone, you won’t be able to reach even if you walk for a few days and nights. Get in the carriage.” Old Madam Wang called out to Widow Zhou.

As soon as Widow Zhou went up, the lamb that was squatting outside the carriage came down.

Widow Zhou noticed that the Spirit Treasure Rat that was usually on the lamb’s head was gone.

“Why didn’t your little mouse follow us?” Widow Zhou asked.

Little Ah Yu replied, “Little Treasure is in the village. Its wife is about to give birth to a little mouse. It’s guarding it.”

Widow Zhou:”?”

Widow Zhou thought that she had heard wrongly.

The mouse was about to give birth to a little mouse?

Would their village be overrun with rats?

Actually, this was the idea of the villagers. The Spirit Treasure Rat had a suppressive effect on the rats in the village.

Thinking that the Spirit Treasure Rat was going to leave with Little Ah Yu, they hoped that it could leave behind many descendants that could help guard the village in the future.

The villagers found all kinds of rats in the mountain. In the end, the Spirit Treasure Rat really took a fancy to one.

The two rats stuck together for a while before the female rat became pregnant.

They did not know what kind of rat it was, but it was not the field mice they hated the most.

As for the babies in the mother rat’s stomach, the villagers were even more expectant than the Spirit Treasure Rat itself.

It all depended on whether the descendants were Spirit Treasure Rats or ordinary rats.

“The children were just playing around. There’s no need to take them seriously,” Liu Shi explained. “Previously, they wanted the lamb to stay too, but the lamb didn’t agree.”

The lamb heard its name from outside and let out a bleating sound as a response.

It was not as picky as its little rat brother.

When Widow Zhou heard this, she even felt that her stomach did not hurt so much anymore. “Wherever Ah Yu is, there are indeed all kinds of interesting things.”

Even a little mouse had to control its descendants.

But what about her?

She had lost her husband long ago and had no hope in her life. She could only hope that in the future, Wang Sanpang would marry a more virtuous wife.

At that time, she would get along well with them and wait for Wang Sanpang’s descendants to come and send her off.

Liu Shi rarely had the chance to interact with Widow Zhou like this. She took this opportunity to chat in the carriage for a long time.

Old Madam Wang did not find them annoying. Little Ah Yu also held her small face and listened with relish.

The few of them chatted and laughed, and time passed quickly.

At noon, they ate a meal by the forest roadside and arrived at Yongding County at late noon.

Yongding County City was as lively as usual. There were also more than a hundred examinees participating in the county level imperial exam. The examinees’ families were squeezed outside the county office, waiting to hear the announcement of the end of the exam.

It had been five days. From the beginning, they had hoped that their child could get a good ranking. Now, they only hoped that they could come out safely.

When they arrived, Old Madam Wang asked Liu Shi to bring Widow Zhou to the doctor. “We’re all neighbors. Go take a look together with her. If she needs any help, don’t be stingy.”

“Mother, I understand,” Liu Shi replied.

Widow Zhou did not put on a brave front. Now that she was in the county city, she indeed felt an unbearable abdominal pain. If she went to the pharmacy alone, she might faint halfway.

The entire Wang Family had come to pick up their children, so there was a large group of people standing outside.

There were old and young people.

They even saw Official Qu. His face was glowing as he stood at the entrance of the county office. He looked very scary.

There was actually the former County Lieutenant Cao beside him, but he looked a little haggard.

Finally, someone carried a gong and knocked it hard.

The surrounding people became restless.

“They’re here, they’re finally done!”

“Quickly take a look. Is our Qiang inside?”

“I wonder if he passed.”

“I heard yesterday that an examinee fainted inside. I hope it’s not our family’s child.”
