Chapter 19: The School at the Gate
Shen's instruction for the carry course was to explain everything out loud.
"Nobody can call it luck if they hear the reasons," she told Ji and Luo at the starting tub.
"Nobody can call it a secret, either," Luo said.
"I will say three words from the ground," Shen added.
"Low, rope, wait, and you may argue with none of them."
Ji disliked the plan at once.
She had spent years making her moves look inevitable.
Explaining them felt like handing the crowd her purse and asking them to count it.
The academy pair went first.
Qiu and the junior who had lent his sash were tied together with a hemp rope borrowed from the starting tub.
The crowd noticed, and a murmur went along the rail.
At the low pole the junior jumped from nerves and emptied his bowl over Qiu's boot.
Qiu could have kept walking, leaving the junior at the pole.
A partner left behind meant neither received a mark.
