Chapter 44: Reprimand

Master's room was very large, separated by two inner doors, and a small study was set up in the middle. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info I entered the study nervously, and the master stood behind the table with his hands behind his back.

Dressed in white, his face was even more grim. The two red peaches were still on the table.

I whispered, "Master." ”

His thin lips opened lightly and said, "Ah Zhu, where did you pick this peach?" ”

"Picked by the peach forest."

"When?"

"This afternoon." I bowed my head and said.

He slowly paced to the other corner of the study and said, "Just now, Master Chen came over and told me something, saying that a student of the academy went to the peach forest next to the academy to steal a peach this afternoon, and when he was discovered, he ran away, and the person guarding the peach forest reported the matter to the door, and asked Chen to take good care of the students of the academy." Then he looked at me and said, "Which peach forest did you pick this peach from?" ”

"Academy...... The peach grove next to the academy. "My voice is like a mosquito.

Master was silent for a long time.

I explained, "Master, I didn't know that it was someone else's peach forest, but later, I wanted to buy it with money, but I didn't happen to have any money with me, so I ...... it."

The master said, "So you ran away?" You also gave the unexplained peach to the teacher to eat, saying that someone else gave it to you? ”

"Ah Zhu didn't mean to." I continued to argue, "At that time, the situation was too sudden, and Ah Zhu didn't expect so much, so he ran out of the peach forest. After a pause, he said, "And this peach is not unknown, it was given to Master by Azhu sincerely." It's just that I didn't explain the reason to Master at that time. ”

Master asked, "When you went to pick peaches, didn't you think if it would be someone else's?" Didn't you think it was something wrong when you brought the peach back? ”

"At first, no, I didn't think of that." I whispered.

Master sighed and said, "Ah Zhu, how old are you this year?" ”

"Twenty-six." There was a hint of confusion in my tone.

"You're so old, why are you so ignorant? Is this what you should do? Master asked.

"Don't do it." I replied.

The master said, "The teacher also knows that you are naturally not, not a thief and pickpocket, but the way you handle things really disappoints the teacher. Although it is only a few peaches, but you take them back, it is not you alone, but the reputation of the entire Yuelu Academy. Now that we are living here, we have received favors from others, so how can you cause trouble to others like this? ”

"Ah Zhu knows it's wrong." I said, but I was a little unconvinced, and muttered in a low voice: "Actually, this is the matter of a few peaches, and the owner of the peach forest is also stingy, can he sue the door?" ”

Master said in a deep voice, "What did you say? What are you talking about? ”

His brow furrowed, and his long, narrow eyes stared at me.

I looked at it for a long time and said, "It's Azhu who is wrong, and Azhu is at fault first." ”

"It's true that you're wrong, even if people come to the door, it's reasonable, since you took other people's peaches, what else is there to argue?" Master said sternly.

"There's really nothing to justify, those words are just some small thoughts in Ah Zhu's heart." Then, I couldn't help but say, "It's a pity that the peaches are ripe in such a big peach forest, and they rot in vain." Besides, even if we pick it, how much can we pick? ”

After speaking, he looked at the master, and the master's face was so cold that he could not describe it in words. I hurriedly remedied: "Actually, Ah Zhu has already understood, it's Ah Zhu ......"

Before the words fell, the master said sharply: "Evil obstacles, kneel!" ”

I really don't know why Master is so angry, but he is my Master, and I have to obey him. So I bent my legs and fell to my knees.

"The sage said, 'There is no owner in the pear, but there is a master in my heart.'" Even if the peaches are rotten, it's not yours, and you can't have that kind of mind, let alone act like that. Master said solemnly.

"Ah Zhu understands that Ah Zhu shouldn't do that." I lowered my eyes.

"You understand?" Master asked, "If you understand, how could you say something like that?" ”

"I'm just saying it casually, Master, don't think too deeply about it." I looked at Master and said.

"Casually? That's how you approach this matter? The master turned around and said, "It's because the master has indulged you too much these days that you will have such an incident." ”

I was about to open my mouth to explain, when I saw that Master suddenly had an extra ring ruler in his hand, and I thought that he had just turned around and took it.

I was surprised and a little afraid, and said, "Master, what are you going to do?" ”

He walked up to me with a ruler and said, "It's a shame that you're an adult, and you would say such a thing." ”

I shook my hand, stretched it out, turned my head again, squinted my eyes, and said, "Master, can you hit lightly?" "Alas, when I was a child, I was most afraid of being beaten by my math teacher.

I was a little surprised that the pain I had expected in my hand did not come, and as soon as I opened my eyes to take a look, I heard a muffled sound on my back, followed by a burning pain.

I was in pain and let out a deep "hiss". The Master said behind his back, "This ruler hits you not to think before you act. ”

Then, there was another "sound" on my back. Master continued, "This ruler beats you for making mistakes and not repenting. ”

Although my back was scorching, I could only straighten my body and stiffen, not daring to dodge.

Behind me, the Master seemed to be silent for a moment, and just as I was wondering if the punishment was over, I reflexively threw myself to the ground with another board on my back, which was hit so hard that I reflexively fell to the ground.

The master said in an accentuated tone: "The last precept ruler will beat you for improper thinking and misconduct. ”

I was lying on the floor, speechless in pain.

The master threw the ring ruler and stepped out of the study.

I thought to myself, although Master has already punished me, his anger must not have subsided, and I have to admit my mistake to him again. So I stood up and shouted, "Master, wait, I still have something to say to you." ”

But the master's footsteps did not stop at all, and went out of the door.

It didn't seem to hurt so much anymore on my back, so I reached out with my hand and touched it, but it hurt again. Master didn't let me get up, and I didn't dare to stand up, for fear of making him even more angry.

Afterwards, I thought about what I had just done, and I knew that I had indeed done something wrong, and what I should have done was to admit my mistake to Master. There are some things that you can't say with Master like that, because Master will definitely not be able to accept them.

What Master is really angry about is that he thinks that I have lost my principles of being a human being. But I know for myself that I am not an unprincipled person. I didn't pick peaches on purpose, and I didn't think it was a serious matter afterwards. But this little thing, when viewed from a moral point of view, becomes a major matter concerning my moral character.

Master scolded me and beat me, but I also brought it upon myself.

I thought about it for a long time, and the room was already dark, and the sun had sunk about the day.

Outside the door, I remembered the sound of footsteps, which sounded like Master's, and I tentatively shouted, "Master? ”

The person who came into the room said coldly: "Go out." ”

--------O(∩_∩)O~ Well, I feel that the pace is too slow, and I hope the later plot can be tighter~------
