As Gu Chengyu carried the examination basket and prepared to exit the examination hall gates, it indeed began to pour. Standing at the entrance of the examination shed, Gu Chengyu could hear the cries of anguish from the examinees. Fortunately, he finished early and handed in his paper, otherwise, even with an umbrella, it would have been useless, as the rain was too heavy.
As soon as Gu Chengyu stepped out of the gate, he saw through the curtain of rain that Mr. Gu and the others were waiting outside the examination hall. The rain was so heavy, accompanied by strong winds, that the umbrella swayed back and forth under the downpour, requiring Mr. Gu to exert great effort to barely keep it steady.
"Father!" Gu Chengyu braved the downpour, running up to Mr. Gu and taking shelter under his umbrella.
"Walk slower, the rain is too heavy! Where's your umbrella?" Mr. Gu shouted to Gu Chengyu.
