Cangyun [Sword Net Three]

"Yo, you're here too."

"What, can't I come?"

"You also come to join in the fun. Could it be that the salary given to you by Ruyizhai is not enough for you? Be careful not to lose money by stealing chickens."

"I don't need to bother you. If you have the energy to guess, save it for the next competition."

"Isn't this Old Liu from Tongfu Inn? What wind brought you here?"

"Ma Feng from Tongsouwupu pawnshop, even he is here!"

"Tsk tsk, from this point of view, Quan Nanlin has all the famous fortune tellers here!"

"Today's Cuilin House is really lively."

………………

………………

These men and women from all walks of life gathered in Cuilinju for nothing but the Golden Abacus Contest held by Cuilinju.

However, it is said that this Cui Lin House was already about to go out of business due to inexplicable hooligans, who would have thought that it would suddenly come back to life, and the business would become more and more prosperous.A few days ago, Cuilinju suddenly issued an announcement to hold a competition called "Golden Abacus" and invite people from the Quannan Forest Society to participate in abacus.The prizes are particularly generous. No.1 rewards ten taels of silver and a championship pennant; No.2 rewards Cuilinju vouchers worth five taels of silver and a runner-up pennant; No.3 rewards equal to Cuilinju vouchers of three taels of silver, and a pennant for the third place; there are also ten places for excellence awards, and rewards are worth one tael of Cuilinju vouchers.

As soon as this announcement came out, it really attracted a lot of people.Ten taels of silver is definitely not a small amount for ordinary people, and an average family of three only spends seven or eight taels of silver for half a year.

The Golden Abacus competition was nothing short of a sensation, and the audition was almost empty.

Today is the second day of the competition, and 20 people have already stood out from the audition to compete for the ranking.

In fact, if you read the game rewards carefully, you will find that only No.1 can get substantial gold and silver, so almost everyone goes for No.1.

Among the 20 people, a pale young man attracted much attention.It's not that he is conspicuous in appearance, but that he is sandwiched among a bunch of bearded elderly people, so it is inevitable that he will attract attention.

Dou Lian sat cautiously in the lobby on the first floor of Cuilin House. The tables and chairs originally used to entertain guests were temporarily used as exam tables and arch contestants.He tries to look relaxed and confident.In fact, the thin body under the baggy clothes was already trembling with eagerness and tension.

Dou Lian couldn't help but clenched the old abacus in his arms, he really wanted the ten taels of silver very much.Compared with other contestants in order to expand their reputation, or to show their strength.Dou Lian's purpose is much more real, he came just for the ten taels of silver from No.1!Before the competition, he had only ten copper coins left on his body, but in the thatched house, his seriously ill son was still waiting for him to grab medicine to save his life.It doesn't matter if he himself is hungry or cold, but how can he watch his son die of illness.

No relatives are willing to lend him money, and there are no valuables to pawn. Even if he sells himself, the housekeepers of those rich families don't want him to be a scrawny, sick child who can't even carry a bucket of water.The only thing he can rely on is the abacus skills passed down from generation to generation.

The ten taels of silver rewarded by No.1 was his life-saving money!He will never surrender to others!

With the ringing of the bell, the second round of the elite competition of Cuilin Jujin Abacus Competition officially started.

The competition is divided into three rounds. In each round, the organizer will come up with a long and difficult calculation problem. The calculation results will be scored according to the speed and accuracy of the calculation results. After the three rounds, the person with the highest score will win the championship, and so on.

For a moment, the entire Cuilin House was filled with the sound of abacus playing.A group of onlookers outside the door were shouting and cheering.It seems that Cuilinju is very lively.

Wu Lang sat in the secret box on the second floor of Cuilin Residence, very satisfied with the hustle and bustle outside.

Now all the well-known accounting experts in Nanlin Forest are gathered in Cuilinju, Wu Lang still doesn't believe it, and can't find anyone who can be brought under his command.In fact, he has already taken a fancy to someone.At first glance, he was a poor and down-to-earth scholar, and the abacus he used was really shabby.But Wu Lang likes his eyes, which have been polished by suffering.

Just thinking about how to hook up with this contestant after the game is over, suddenly a mistress in the lobby of Cui Linju exclaimed: "It's terrible, someone vomited blood!"

Wu Lang fixed his eyes on the man vomiting blood, and was startled, isn't it the man he has his eye on!

------------

When Dou Lian woke up quietly, what greeted his eyes was a delicate and unfamiliar top of the bed, and when he looked around, he saw even more unfamiliar scenery.After being dazed for a few seconds, he suddenly sat up on the bed, before he had time to put on his shoes, he rushed out of the room with only white socks on.As soon as he went out, he found himself standing in the corridor on the second floor of Cuilin House, and he could see the lobby on the first floor with his long eyes.

At this time, the lobby of Cuilinju was quiet, only a few shop waiters were cleaning the floor covered with bright red shredded paper and red cloth, and moving the question boards that were originally placed on the side of the lobby to arrange the competition exam questions.

Everything he saw told him a ruthless fact.

The game is over......

And not only did he fail to win the first prize, he also got the bonus.Also because of excessive anxiety and tension, he vomited blood and fell into a coma in the middle of the race, not even making it through the final round of the competition.

Holding the guardrail railing tightly with both hands, Dou Lian was full of self-blame and despair.

Zhi'er, it doesn't matter if it's dad!Dad, I'm sorry...

"Mr. Dou, whoops, you are awake." Suddenly a loud voice came from next to his ear, and Dou Lian blinked his eyes to hold back his tears before turning to face the visitor.Seeing that the person who came was dressed as the waiter of the shop, he guessed that he might be the clerk of Cuilinju, so he said: "My little brother, do you dare to ask if your shopkeeper allowed me to rest in this guest room? I am very grateful."

"Oh, you told me about hiring a doctor. That's what our boss ordered, and our boss even said that when you wake up, we will lead you to see him."

"This... I don't know if your boss is..."

"Oh, you'll know when you see it. Let's go, Mr. Dou, don't make our boss wait for a long time."

Dou Lian had no choice but to say yes again and again. After walking a few steps, he suddenly remembered that his clothes were disheveled, so he hurried back to the house and dressed before coming out.

Passing through the winding corridor, Dou Lian was brought into an elegant wing.As soon as he entered the wing room, Dou Lian didn't pay attention to anything else, only the bright bead curtain reflecting the sunlight, and the young man in green shirt standing in front of the bead curtain with delicate eyes and a smile like a spring peach.

"Mr. Dou is here?" A male voice came from the bead curtain, Dou Lian's ears went numb, and his attention was instantly shifted to the speaker.

"It's a pity that Mr. Dou failed to finish the competition. Otherwise, it would be a good idea to fight for the first place."

Dou Lian lowered his head in shame.

"Excuse me, I don't know what Mr. Dou is asking for when he came to participate in our Golden Abacus Competition in Cuilinju?"

Dou Lian smiled wryly, and said, "I'm not going to lie to my master, I'm only here for the ten taels of silver." The boss will definitely not be short of money.For Zhi'er, no matter how slim the hope is, he will fight for it!

Suddenly, Dou Lian lifted the hem of his clothes, fell down on his knees, and cried, "I beg my master to save my child! My master is very kind and virtuous, and I will repay you with grass."

There was silence inside the bead curtain, and the smiling young man in green shirt glared and cursed angrily because of his behavior: "You ignorant guy! My master pities you, how dare you threaten you so rudely and still not back down! "

Dou Lian was overwhelmed by the aura of the young man in green shirt, and for a moment he could only let tears hang down his face in a daze.

"Green floating, don't be rude."

"……Yes."

"Mr. Dou, as the saying goes, it is a shame to get something for nothing. A scholar like you must know it."

Dou Lian's face was on fire immediately.

"How is your abacus calculation ability, sir?"

Dou Lian was puzzled, but not humble enough to reply: "My talent."

"So what if you think you're going to settle accounts?"

Dou Lian replied: "Accounts are stupid, but people are smart."

"Good! Good! Good! Mister is really wonderful."

Dou Lian only heard three cheers, and with the sound of the bead curtain being lifted, one person walked out of the bead curtain.

"I think Mr. Lai needs the money urgently, but the money can't be given to you for nothing."

"I wonder if Mr. Dou is willing to work for me and become my man?"

Dou Lian was stunned by the sudden surprise, and when he came back to his senses, he looked at the benefactor in surprise. With just one glance, Dou Lian was stunned, and only a line of poetry popped out of his mind.

Accumulated stones are like jade, pine trees are like emerald green, and Lang Yan is unique, unique in the world.
