Chapter 79

After silently accepting this extremely bizarre question, countless examinees hurriedly looked at the next question.

【Translate the following sentence into modern Chinese: "Deputy Envoy Cui Yinglin saw the people eating arrow excrement in the marsh."】

Wait.

What does this mean?

How exactly were these questions set?!

Why can't I understand it?!

Is this really a question a human could think of?

One by one, the examinees had already racked their brains and thought hard.

Cui Yinglin saw the common people eating arrows?!

These common people have quite unique tastes; who would think of eating arrows?!

This must be wrong.

Could it be, Cui Yinglin saw the common people eating... shit?!

That's even more impossible!

In such a high-end college entrance exam, how could such an indecent thing as eating shit appear?!

Everyone didn't even believe it themselves, so how could they be embarrassed to write it down?!

Forget it, forget it.

Time is running out; hurry up and do the next question.

However, what countless examinees didn't expect was that there were countless bizarre questions waiting for them next.

One question more wicked than the last.

One question more bizarre than the last.

One question more pit-falling than the last.

By the time the examinees dizzily saw the last essay question with two choices, everyone was even more stunned.

【(1) In the story of the Butterfly Lovers, why did Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai turn into butterflies instead of birds flying wing-to-wing or branches intertwined?】

Holy crap!

What kind of ghost question is this?!

Why didn't the Butterfly Lovers turn into birds flying wing-to-wing or intertwined branches?!

How would we know that?!

This question makes people doubt life every minute.

How can this question be done?

Give up decisively!

Better to choose the second one.

Countless examinees suppressed the complaints in their hearts and immediately moved their gaze to the second option.

【(2) Should one complain about the college entrance exam essay?】

When they saw the question, the examinees immediately wanted to throw their pens and flip the tables.

Should one complain about the college entrance exam essay? Can this even be written?!

If the answer is "should," can this essay still get a high score?

If the answer is "should not," wouldn't that be too insincere?!

Seeing these two questions, they were simply full of points to complain about!

Countless examinees immediately wanted to slam the table and leave!

Time passed quickly, second by second.

The proctor reminded them according to the rules again, "There are fifteen minutes left until the end of the exam..."

As soon as this sound came out, countless students didn't even have time to wipe the sweat from their foreheads, writing furiously with sweaty palms.

When the bell finally rang and the proctors collected the papers, the entire classroom was filled with wailing.

"Holy crap! My complaint essay is only half finished!"

"Damn it! Don't, let me write for a while longer!"

"I even filled in the answer sheet wrong!"

"Why do you have to mess with my mentality on the last subject?!"

……

Major exam sites collapsed completely, and the wailing of countless examinees resounded in classroom after classroom.

As the proctors took away the test papers, the crowd of examinees walked out of the exam site in a daze.

Each and every one of them was embodying: Who am I, where am I, what am I doing?!

At this time, at the school gates of major exam sites, besides the parents and teachers who had been waiting anxiously.

There were also media reporters who had been watching the situation at the exam site, ready to interview the examinees at any time.

"They're coming out soon, let's see who is the first to run out; that's the headline of previous years!"

"They're here, they're here, the last subject is finally over!"

"Flowers are ready! Celebrating that it's finally over!"

……

However, just as countless people were crowding at the gate ready to welcome the examinees coming out in high spirits, they found that not a single person was running out of the exam site.

What's going on?!

By logic, the bell had already rung, and the exam was already over, so why hadn't anyone rushed out?!

A full ten minutes passed before the crowd waiting at the school gate saw students coming out of the teaching building one after another.

However, at this time, the footsteps of the students were extremely slow, a cloud seemed to be hanging over their heads, and they were all wilted like frost-bitten eggplants.

At this moment, many parents had already found their own children and hurriedly rushed up to ask.

"What's wrong, child?!"

"Isn't the last subject the simplest Chinese?"

"How did you do?"

……

Amidst these inquiries, a girl in the front row seemed unable to hold it back anymore and burst into loud tears.

"It was too hard..."

And as soon as this cry came out, it immediately seemed to be contagious, and several other girls who came out of the school gate also began to shed tears.

"There were so many questions I didn't know how to do..."

"Is this a question for humans to do!"

"I couldn't write the essay at all..."

"Too hard!"

At this time, there were also some students who didn't cry, but everyone's expression was equally heavy.

Some stomped their feet fiercely on the spot, and some threw their stationery on the ground.

"Damn it, who exactly set the questions?!"

"I didn't even write several questions!"

"You're already doing well; I only wrote a few questions!"

"If I don't get into college, it's all the fault of this Chinese question-setter!"

……

At this moment, the crowd of parents was stunned on the spot.

Is Chinese this hard this time?!

And media reporters filmed this scene and uploaded it to the Internet.

When the short videos of these examinees crying bitterly spread, countless netizens surfing the web became puzzled.

What's going on?

It's just a Chinese exam, why cry like this?

Isn't Chinese the simplest subject?

How can it be that exaggerated?!

Just when countless netizens felt puzzled, that evening, the real questions of the national Chinese college entrance exam paper were also published online.

When countless netizens saw the real Chinese college entrance exam paper with their own eyes, they were all stunned.

"What light is flashing in the fish's eyes?! Holy crap! The fish is already dead, and you still want to study the light in its eyes? Are you crazy?"

"The classical Chinese is truly amazing; can eating shit appear in college entrance exam questions?! Even if a top student dares to write this answer, a poor student wouldn't dare to copy it..."

"Arrow means shit; I guessed it but didn't dare to translate it. Do you believe this answer yourself..."

"This is simply an unforgettable college entrance exam question; wouldn't one have to flip out in the exam room?!"

"And these last two essay questions, they are too perverted!"

"Should one complain about the college entrance exam essay? Doesn't the question-setter know in their heart?! This question of yours really speaks the hearts of the examinees..."

Many college students also heard about the perversion of this Chinese college entrance exam.

Some curiously found the test paper, and when they saw the questions, they were stunned on the spot.

"As a freshman, I'm so glad I graduated!"

"I'm really glad I'm a year older than you guys; I'm truly out of the sea of suffering!"

"I suddenly doubt what qualifications I have to go to college?! Are these questions for humans?!"

……

Even some Chinese teachers saw the college entrance exam questions, and they all popped up one by one.

"The students in my class have already collapsed across the board; they all fell at the hands of Chinese!"

"These questions are too imaginative?! No wonder the students want to curse!"

"I heard they were going to change the difficulty, but I didn't expect the difficulty to leap forward so much all at once?!"

……

When countless examinees saw the feedback from these netizens, they were even more furious at the question-setter.

That night, Weibo's trending searches were completely occupied by these entries about the national Chinese college entrance exam paper.
