At the same time, in the city, a group of students were discussing something on the street. This attracted the attention of the street vendors and the passersby. They all gathered around them.
"How many pheasants and rabbits do you think there are? Why can't I count them! "
"One, two, three …"
"No, no, no matter how I count, it's not right!"
They pointed at the pheasants and rabbits in front of the Chang An restaurant, constantly counting something. The surrounding commoners were even more confused. If they did not know, they would have thought that these students were possessed.
The vendor looked at the group of students counting the pheasants and rabbits in his stall. He could not help but ask, "Little brat, what are you counting? What are you doing? Are you going to buy it or not? "
A student said, "Go go go. Don't disturb me, we're discussing something important. There will be money for you! "
The vendor was instantly interested. "What important matter is it, why are you being so secretive. Tell me about it."
The student said impatiently, "What are you doing? Go do what you need to do! "
The vendor said flatteringly, "I've seen you guys gather here for a long time. Just what is it that is making you so confused?"
The surrounding commoners looked at the students with anticipation. They were curious just what was going on that could make these scholars so serious.
The student looked around, then said arrogantly, "This is a pheasants and rabbits in the same cage question. There are thirty-five heads above and ninety-four feet below. We've studied it for a long time but have not come up with any results."
"Pheasants and rabbits in the same cage? Isn't this very simple? The pheasants, one, two, three … "
"No, no, it should be this? That's not right, this is too difficult! "
"Who came up with this question? Just what is this for? "
The surrounding crowd was noisy, expressing their confusion. Just what was going on? Why did they come up with this question?
The student said, "What do you commoners know. This is a question that the principal of White Deer Academy, Zhang Feng, came up with. If someone can answer it, then they can be admitted. If you have a skill, then you can also be admitted."
"What? The principal of White Deer Academy personally came up with this question? "
"Why did he come up with this question? Could it be that the Dean of White Deer Academy wants to recruit students in Yuezhou City? "
For a moment, there were different opinions. The crowd fell into a discussion, each expressing their own opinions. Seeing this, the student continued, "Of course, this question is too difficult. There is another question. Which came first in this world, the pheasant or the egg?"
After the commoners heard this, they revealed confident expressions. This was simple. Even children of a few years old could do it. How could this question stump them?
"The egg comes first!"
"Bullshit, let me ask you, where did the egg come from?"
"It was born from a pheasant!"
"Then that's it. The pheasant came first!"
"Go, go, go. The egg comes first. What do you know?"
"Aiya, I said that the pheasant came first!"
Within the crowd, there were already two people who were close to fighting over this question, arguing endlessly. The other people sighed that the question set by the principal of White Deer Academy was too profound. But when they thought about how to enter White Deer Academy, it really was a matter that brought glory to their ancestors. As they spoke, some people had already gone back to find their children and prepare to register.
At the same time, in a village near Yuezhou City, a youth in tattered clothes was squatting outside the fence of a battlement. His mouth was muttering something that no one knew what he was saying. At this time, a woman over forty years old walked out of the house and shouted, "Da Zhuang, what are you doing outside the battlement?"
After shouting for a long time, there was no response. She only saw that the youth was still there, counting something. The woman went to the battlement to see the youth, only to see the youth continuously saying, "One, two, three … twenty heads. The rabbit is one, two, three …"
The woman continued saying, "I'm talking to you. Da Zhuang, did you hear me?"
Da Zhuang impatiently said, "Go cook your meal, don't bother me!" As he said this, he continued counting.
The woman saw this and was shocked. "Da Zhuang, what are you doing? Don't scare me. It's over, it's over, Da Zhuang has gone crazy. "
"Da Zhuang's father, come out and see the child!" The woman anxiously shouted. A moment later, a man wearing a black robe came out, his mouth saying, "What's wrong? What's wrong with Da Zhuang? "
The man looked at Da Zhuang who was muttering to himself. He pulled Da Zhuang's wrist over and placed his finger on Da Zhuang's pulse. After a while, he muttered, "Da Zhuang is fine!"
The woman continued saying, "Then what's wrong with Da Zhuang? Early in the morning, he ran to the battlement and kept muttering to himself. I don't know what he's saying. When I called him, he ignored me. "
The man shook his head. He also did not know what was going on. When he checked Da Zhuang's pulse, everything was normal. There was no problem, what was going on?
He was originally a traveling doctor, traveling to various places to treat illnesses and save people. Today, he received an invitation to go to Yuezhou City to treat a patient.
In Yuezhou City, a group of students went door to door looking for pheasants and rabbits. They kept confirming that the pheasants and rabbits were in the same cage. Many parents of the students thought that their children were sick and went to find a doctor. The doctors were very busy, running from house to house.
