Volume 1 The Dragon Rises Chapter 75 Reading Is Useless?
"Mother, why hasn't Daddy come back yet, Xiaohu said that I knew six words in the school today, didn't Daddy say that he wanted to teach me to read?" asked a little girl about three or four years old in her mother's arms.
"Your father has gone to a far away place, how about your mother teach you to read?" The woman who covered half of her face with a cyan birthmark lowered her head, looked at the little girl in her arms, and said in a very gentle tone.
"I want my dad to teach me how to read. The little girl writhed in the woman's arms.
"Xiaotong, good, your father said that if you don't obey and come back, I won't tell you a story. ”
"That's... Xiaotong is good..."
The little girl blinked her eyes and asked again, "Mother, does Daddy know more words than Mr. Jiang in the school?"
The cyan birthmark woman seemed to fall into memory, gently patted the little girl in her arms, and was silent for a long time, until the little girl in her arms fell asleep, and the woman said softly: "Your father was a champion when he was a student!"
Outside this quiet hut, there was a tall figure, it was Yu Wen, who had stopped the three thousand forbidden troops by himself earlier, he stared at the candle flame in the hut, and he couldn't tell what the expression was on his face, until the candle flame was cut out, he still didn't leave.
The night grew stronger, and the figure stood there for several hours, until the sky grew white, and the door of the hut was opened, and out came a woman with a blue birthmark on her face, she crossed the threshold, turned her head and looked inside the house, everything was as usual, but the tall voice and shadow were gone, and she would not smile and walk up to her and say, "Lady, morning!"
Her eyes swept to the table where the robe was made yesterday, it was empty, and the woman unconsciously hung tears on her beautiful face covered with cyan birthmarks, and said in a choked voice: "Are you so ruthless?
The woman walked into the courtyard and said again: "Xiaotong and I can't compare to that kindness?"
A light breeze blew, and a figure standing in the distance quietly disappeared.
In an empty forest, a figure was running wildly, and it was vaguely visible that the man was carrying a huge wooden box and a robe that looked like it had been newly sewn.
After running for a long time, he finally stopped, and the man who stood still suddenly laughed, and the laughter became louder and louder, and at last he cried hoarsely, snot and tears flowed together, and the appearance looked very miserable.
After crying for a while, the man wiped his face and muttered, "When I see you, will you still let me go?"
When the man said this, he laughed again and said, "Will it? Won't it? Who knows?"
"I've been reading books for half my life, but in the end, the whole family has been punished, leaving me alone, and reading seems to be useless!" The man who stood in a daze seemed to be stunned, and after he finished saying this, he went on to say: "But I really like to read!"
"Killing one hundred and seventy members of my family, it's not too much for me to kill his son, right? After practicing knives for more than ten years, I still can't kill his son, so what's the use of me practicing knives?"
"I was punished for studying, and I was separated from my wife for practicing knives, and I was really a failure in my life!"
...
Datong County, outside the main city.
A man with a somewhat pale face was riding on a large black horse, and behind him stood five people, and behind him, there were thousands of armor soldiers, and in front of him stood a dozen people, led by a man in a black official uniform, looking up at this side.
Chen Jingcang rode forward, and the dozen or so people standing in front of him all fell prostrate on the ground, shouting: "See His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Chen Jingcang didn't speak for the first time, until He Lixing on the side held the reins of the black horse he was riding, Chen Jingcang turned over and dismounted, and said, "Get up!"
Walking to the side of the man wearing the uniform of the county guard, Chen Jingcang looked carefully, and saw a pair of slender eyes, inverted eight-figure eyebrows, a round face, a high nose bridge, and the whole facial features looked a little incongruous.
The man hurriedly said: "The lowly position is the Datong County Shouqu Fan, and the one beside him is Teng Liangyu, the dean of the Datong Academy. ”
Chen Jingcang couldn't help but look curiously, the dean of Datong Academy was an old man who was about sixty years old, with white hair and white beard, Chen Jingcang bowed slightly and bowed to Teng Liangyu and said, "I've seen Dean Teng." ”
Teng Liangyu didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in front of him would salute him, and couldn't help stroking his beard and smiling: "It's a bad old man!"
Chen Jingcang stepped forward, bowed again, and said: "Datong Academy has always been the most desirable sacred place in this palace, Dean Teng, you deserve to worship this palace!"
Qu Fan on the side said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent a message, I don't like luxury pomp, so I blocked the south gate and brought a few guards and Dean Teng to pick up His Royal Highness the Crown Prince into the city, and I hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not think that Qu Fan is deliberately slacking." ”
Chen Jingcang shook his head, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to him, and said, "This palace has passed a letter on behalf of my father, you can take it and take it." ”
Qu Fan wanted to kowtow to thank him, but was grabbed by Chen Jingcang and said: "No need to be polite, this palace has wanted to come to Datong for a long time, of course, I still want to go to Datong Academy to have a look, after all, this academy has always been a place of admiration in the heart of this palace." ”
"Then after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince enters the city for a short rest, I will send someone to take him for a walk, how about it?"
"I also ask the county guard to block the news that I have entered Datong, Li Fengning's 3,000 forbidden army, and the county guard also needs to arrange a resting place, and wait for tomorrow morning, let them return to Tai'an first, and then the palace will return to Tai'an by itself. Chen Jingcang commanded.
"This..."Qu Fan said with some hesitation, "I'm afraid it's not safe for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to return to Tai'an alone!"
"It's okay, the county guard just needs to arrange it this way. ”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in front of him didn't dare to have the slightest disobedience, so he had no choice but to nod yes.
After entering the city, Chen Jingcang did not live in the county guard's mansion, but chose a private house close to the county guard's mansion, Chen Feizhu was seriously injured, he didn't want to rush to Tai'an, so he repeated the injury, and was ready to rest for a few days in this world-famous Datong.
With him left behind Su Qing'er, Nie Zhang, He Lixing, and Chen Feizhu who was healing, Chen Jingcang himself was not seriously injured, although his blood was shocked after fighting hard with Yu Wen, but after a few days of recuperation, he would recover, but Chen Feizhu was different, the natal flying sword was broken three times in a row, which is equivalent to saying that most of his cultivation was damaged, and it would take months to recover as before.
The news from Tai'an, I hope he can go to Tai'an within half a month, at this time it is only a few hundred miles away from Tai'an, and it will only take three or four days to rush back to Tai'an, Chen Jingcang is not too anxious, many things still have to be found out in Datong, after all, for many people in Tai'an, it is too unfamiliar, to be precise, he has not been prepared, and there are always some unspeakable fears in his heart.
In the battle with Yu Wen, Chen Jingcang forcibly broke the mirror into a product, causing the vitality in his body to shock, for Chen Jingcang, who still yearns to win the rivers and lakes in his heart, he still wants to spend more time polishing the restless vitality in his body because of the forced breaking of the mirror.
refused the person sent by Qu Fan to take him on a tour of Datong Academy, thinking that he would take a look at this Datong Academy by himself, but Su Qing'er kept following him, reaching out to hold the corner of his clothes and refusing to let go, Chen Jingcang had no choice but to take her with him.
It took most of the day to arrive at the academy from the county guard's office.
There were not many contacts in the academy, and for the two strange guests who came suddenly, the students in the academy did not cast too many glances, and they were in a hurry.
Chen Jingcang said to Su Qing'er beside him: "What I hoped most back then was to be a chivalrous man, the kind of Tsing Yi who walks the world with a sword, and then I also hope to come to the best academy in the world to study like my uncle said." ”
"Actually, I also know why my uncle wants me to come to the academy to study, it's definitely not what you think, it's purely to recite one or two poems when fighting with others, so as to increase my own aura, even if I can't beat others, it makes sense to scold others. Uncle never liked to read, and always said that he was dizzy when he saw the words on the book. For this reason, my grandmother took a leather whip and whipped him, of course, these are what my uncle told me. ”
"But I know that my uncle has fought seven big battles in his life, with six victories and one defeat, and that defeat will remain on that battlefield forever! But when others say anything else, they always use the words 'military wizard'! Presumably, my uncle, who doesn't like to read, is very powerful!"
Chen Jingcang's steps were very slow, and the speed of his speech was also very slow, it seemed that the faint sound of reading in the distance made him feel a lot more settled, he walked a few steps, and then continued, "I miss my uncle a little, and I took me to eat that roast chicken restaurant, but I couldn't find it when I was in Bingzhou." ”
Su Qing'er followed behind him silently, and when he finished saying these words, she plucked up her courage and gently took his hand, Chen Jingcang looked down and smiled: "Actually, my uncle also said that the talent who recites poetry is the most attractive to girls!"
Su Qing'er walked quickly in front of Chen Jingcang, raised her head, and closed her eyes.
Chen Jingcang was stunned for a moment, pulled her over, and said, "Where you study, how can you have some thoughts in your head." ”
Su Qing'er's cheeks suddenly turned red and hot, and the rouge on her lips became a little brighter, she stomped her foot, broke away from Chen Jingcang's hand and ran forward, and without running a few steps, she accidentally bumped into someone.
A little girl of seven or eight years old, the little girl fell to the ground, her eyes were full of mist when she raised her head, and she was about to cry.
Su Qing'er hurriedly pulled up the little girl who fell to the ground and said, "It's really in a hurry to leave, it's all my fault, little girl, are you okay?"
The little girl was helped up by Su Qing'er, but she looked at the middle-aged woman beside her with teary eyes, although the other woman in front of the little girl looked a little old, it can still be seen from the face that has been sharpened and left traces by time that she was definitely a beauty all over the world when she was young, the woman stared at Chen Jingcang with a pair of Danfeng eyes with time precipitation, and there was a trace of imperceptible affection, until the little girl next to her reached out and pulled her robe, and said prettyly: "Mother, my butt hurts!"
The woman with a mature charm looked at the little girl and said, "I said that I want to be called Mr. in the academy!"
"But... Nianzi's butt really hurts..."The little girl couldn't hold back any longer, and the bean-sized tears couldn't help falling, with grievances and a hint of pleading in her eyes.
The mature woman didn't pay attention to it, but said a very strange thing to Chen Jingcang: "Did he let you come?"
