179. Persistence
Seeing this, everyone watching from a distance couldn't help but exclaim in unison - this brother and sister just muttered that everyone thought they regretted it, but instead of regretting it, the younger sister actually wanted to try the rope bridge! God, if something happened to this, the adults of this family must not die in a hurry! Why is this Third Young Master Tu so unsuccessful, his family is the host today, if someone dies in his family, he is not afraid that the two families will fight each other?!
By the way, which adult's family are these brothers and sisters? It's just that the official position is low, after all, they can't afford to provoke Tu Shangshu, a high-ranking official of the second grade, and if they are also the children of a high-ranking family, I am afraid that it will cause turmoil in the DPRK and China!
"Don't be impulsive!" Someone hurriedly shouted, and turned his head to look at Tu San, "Third Young Master Tu, you still have to persuade these two, if something happens, it's not easy to explain!"
Tu San still clasped his arms to his chest, and said casually: "I didn't force them to go up to that bridge, and I can't help the Tu family to explain if something happens, doesn't that person want to worship my second brother as a teacher, and he doesn't show sincerity and wants to blame us for underestimating him?"
When everyone heard this, they said in their hearts that the three young men of the Tu family are really unpleasant, just don't dissuade them, and they will bring them to the fire, do they have a long-cherished grudge?
One side refused to persuade, one side did not listen to persuasion, and everyone was caught in the middle and couldn't say anything, so they had to nervously look at the brothers and sisters who had already stepped on the rope bridge, and a member of the Tu family standing behind the third young master Tu was clever, taking advantage of everyone's inattention, quietly retreated, and ran down to report the incident to the young master Tu - just kidding, how could the Tu family really let the guests die here! The third young master has always been arrogant, there are many guests at this banquet, and if something happens, it will really hinder the reputation of the Tu family, and he must not be allowed to come by temperament!
As soon as Yan Qi stepped on the rope bridge, he was dragged back by the fourth young master Yan, patted his chest and said to her: "I am your brother, I have to walk in front, you follow me behind, if you can't walk steadily, grab my waist." ”
The person who walked in front was unreliable, it was more difficult, Yan Qi did not refuse, Yiyan walked behind him, saw him stretch out his arms, and said while carefully stepping forward: "Seventh sister, you follow my example and stretch out your arms, so that you can maintain balance." ”
"Good. Yan Qi acted as he said.
"Don't look down, the more you look, the more scared you get. "Fourth Young Master Yan swayed and took four or five steps, this hemp rope is too soft, there is no stable force point at all, the slightest carelessness will make the body stagger, Rao is so, he did not forget to tell Yan Qi while walking, "Just look ahead, don't look to both sides, thinking that the soles of your feet are actually flat ground, so you will feel better." ”
"Okay. Yan Qi responded, although she was also passively shaking her body, her balance was well controlled, and she paid attention to keeping the same pace with the fourth young master Yan, she also stepped when he walked, she also stopped when he stopped, she stepped on her left foot, and when he shook violently, she stood firmly, and kept the shaking and undulation of the rope bridge under her feet as much as possible in the slightest and single state.
Fourth Young Master Yan didn't care much about the image, if he was really shaking badly, he would bend down and kick his ass to grab the left and right hemp ropes as bridge railings, the hemp rope position was too low, so he had to make such an action, and then wait for the shaking to stop and then stand up again and walk forward - of course, he didn't want to keep this action all the time and walked to the opposite peak, since he wanted to slap his face, he had to make the action look beautiful and decent.
The rope bridge is very long, but the two people walked very slowly, it took nearly a quarter of an hour to walk out of ten meters, the palms of the onlookers on the cliff were sweating, and the bad heart was no longer daring to look, so they found an excuse and left here.
Young Master Tu got the news so frightened that he couldn't even care about entertaining the guests, and hurriedly ran to the top of the peak, and when he came to the edge of the cliff, he saw that more guests had gathered, and they were all there to stretch their necks to look, and the young master Tu squeezed to the front and looked at the opposite side, so anxious that he scolded in his heart - the two children have already walked almost halfway, and it is too late to stop it, and it is about the same distance to go forward or backward, so it is better to let them go directly to the peak over there.
Young Master Tu looked left and right, and found the Third Young Master Tu who was leaning against the pavilion pillar with a look on his face, and couldn't help striding over and pulling him, until he dragged him to the back of the person, and said angrily: "What's the matter with you?!Not to mention that you still stirred up people by stopping those two people?!
"Hmph, he's willing to go up himself, what's the matter with us?" Third Young Master Tu sneered.
"You have a grudge against them?!" Young Master Tu glared at him and scolded angrily.
"Yes. "I didn't expect Third Young Master Tu to really nod.
"What's going on?" Young Master Tu looked at him suspiciously, "Where are those two from?"
"Yanfu's. Third Young Master Tu said contemptuously, "The male is Yan Si, and I don't know the female." ”
"Yanfu...... Yan Zike's family?!" The eldest young master Tu's eyebrows furrowed, "How did the fourth young master of the Yan family provoke you? Even if he provoked you, you shouldn't joke with his life! Who is Yan Zike, haven't you heard of it? Father doesn't want to deal with him, but you want to take this big trouble to the Tu family!"
"I'll take care of him!" Third Young Master Tu raised his eyebrows and glared, "Our Yushu Ju (Polo) team has been defeated three times under the bow team pole of Jinxiu, and last year it was only one step away from the top leader, it was this Yan Si's last lore that pitted us, he didn't recognize me, I can recognize him! If he wins, he wins, and he even shouts to be the best bowing player in the whole dynasty -- I just can't get used to his arrogant appearance! Isn't he able? Then let him try the rope bridge! Lest he just brag if he doesn't practice!"
The boys' school of Yushu Academy and the boys' school of Splendid Academy have always been rivals, just like the Embroidery Academy and Jiyue Academy, they are always incompatible, and they will spark no matter what occasion they meet, and this kind of long-cherished grudge is also an inseparable part of the school culture, and even after a hundred years of inheritance, it has become an obsession that goes deep into the mind and bone marrow, at least during the student career, it is impossible to be reconciled.
Of course, when the "graduated" left school and became officials in the same dynasty, this obsession will be resolved by the future and interests, because ...... For the vast majority of people, nothing is more important than their own interests, and under the trend of interests, there are no eternal enemies and no permanent friends.
The younger generations of the Tu family are all from Yushu Academy, so the eldest young master Tu can understand his third brother's hatred for the fourth young master of the Yan family, but after all, his own family is today's host, and he can't say anything about his life, after reprimanding Tu Tao for a few words, Tu Hong took him to hurriedly go around the cliff, seeing the two children of the Yan family swinging in the wind on the rope bridge, this heart is also hanging high with it.
"Master, why don't you transfer the second master's secret guard over just ......in case," Tu Hong's long voice lowered and said in his ear.
Tu Hong stared at Na Chang Sui coldly, and his voice was extremely low: "Talking nonsense, exposing the secret guards in the house for such a trivial matter, is it because our family is too stable?!"
The so-called secret guard, that is, the guard who cannot see the light, what kind of guard cannot see the light? What kind of unsightly thing have you done to get a master to do things for you in the dark? The only person in the world who can raise a secret guard is the emperor, and you are a human minister who raises a secret guard at home, and his heart can be punished!
Therefore, how can the fact that there are secret guards in the family be exposed! Although many ministers actually have more or less a few dead soldiers who secretly work for them, even if they have no ambitions, raising secret guards is also for the sake of multiple ways and making it more convenient to act.
Tu Hong had a calm face, staring at the two children of the Yan family, and he had even begun to prepare the lines in his mind about how to explain to the Yan family after these two children fell off the cliff.
Standing not far from the side, a branch of eyes firmly focused on the body of his two little masters, the master did not let him follow on the bridge, he would not go on the bridge, unconditional compliance with orders is the professional ethics of the long follow, but the feet are secretly lucky, once there is an emergency on the bridge, he can reach the center in three or four moments at the earliest.
When the fourth young master Yan walked to the middle position, he was actually a little weak, not scared, but tired, the more the bridge swayed to the middle, relying on the two legs to stabilize the balance, which consumed both energy and body.
"Do you want to rest?" Fourth Young Master Yan asked when he heard Yan Qi behind him.
"Are you tired?" Fourth Young Master Yan asked her rhetorically.
"It's fine. "Yan Qidao.
"Then don't stop, walk over in one breath!" "Fourth Young Master Yan cheered himself up, "Dad said that everything is important to persevere, and the more you rest, the weaker your breath will be." ”
"That's right. "Yan Qidao.
The two brothers and sisters continued to walk forward cautiously, the rope bridge kept shaking, shaking, and suddenly a gust of wind collided between the two peaks, the rope bridge shook violently, and the fourth young master and Yan Qi were taken to the body and skewed suddenly, and they lost their center of gravity and fell out of the bridge!
Everyone on the edge of the cliff was so frightened that they exclaimed in unison, and the Third Young Master Tu also followed in his heart, and then everyone let out a second exclamation, and looked at the past, but saw that the two people on the rope bridge were still there! The Fourth Young Master Yan was hanging upside down on the bridge rope with his head and feet, and when he looked closely, he hooked the rope with his leg at the last moment! Looking at Yan Qi again, it was one hand holding the bridge rope and hanging there, and the two of them were swaying in the air with the rope bridge that was still swaying violently!
Yizhi was ready to rush over to rescue the moment his two little masters tilted their bodies out of the bridge, but when he saw Miss Seven make a gesture to stop, he stopped in time, with his good eyesight, he could clearly see the expression on Miss Seven's face at this time, calm, determined, and calm, although this Miss Seven had given him too much incredible before, but this time he was still surprised by her.
- Why is she not afraid at all?
What about the fourth young master, his face turned white with fright, but he gritted his teeth and didn't scream, trying to stick to his original intention.
Yizhi remembered that when the fourth young master was young, he was about seven or eight years old, which was the most naughty and troublesome age for boys, and one day he had to climb the big ginkgo tree in the back garden, and the eldest lady sent seven or eight grandmothers and a dozen maids to stop and coax and hug him, and he was not allowed to take risks.
Finally, taking advantage of the opportunity for everyone to be unprepared, the fourth young master quietly slipped under the tree alone, and was about to climb up when he raised his hand, when his master passed by and stood up to stop him. The master said, "If you are really determined to climb this tree, then you should climb it, but there is only one thing: you must not give up halfway, you must not ask for help from others, and you must climb up and down yourself." If you can do it, I will allow you to climb the tree at home, and if you can't, you will never climb the tree again. ”
The young fourth young master responded, and really went to climb the tree, but the ginkgo tree was so high, where could he climb it, and after climbing a few failures, the fourth young master couldn't help crying, he said that he didn't want to climb, but he didn't want to never be able to climb the tree in the future, he begged the master to say good things, but the master was unmoved, just looked at his little son so lightly, such a light expression, don't say children, even adults feel frightened when they look at it.
The master said: "How ambitious you are, how much effort you have to pay, how high your goals, how long you have to persevere, you want to do something out of the ordinary, it's not impossible, as long as you can do it, I will be able to achieve you." But if you retreat, I won't give you a second chance. Making a wrong decision can be forgiven, while making a decision to give up is never worth forgiving. ”
The fourth young master was frightened, even though he didn't seem to understand his master's words, he also understood what his master wanted him to do. So the fourth young master wiped his tears while climbing the tree again, once not twice, twice not three times, his voice was hoarse, his little hands were worn out, and he had no strength in his body, but the master just stood there and looked at him, and did not want to tolerate him this time, the father and son stayed under the tree for a whole night, and when the sun rose the next day, the fourth young master finally climbed the tree, and successfully fell back from the tree.
Seeing the current Fourth Young Master, Yizhi knew how the tree climbing incident affected him, even if he was in danger, that is, the mission was imminent, even if he was afraid in his heart, he still remembered his father's words:
Making a wrong decision can be forgiven, while making a decision to give up is never worthy of forgiveness.
