(755) Can't live together
- Cen Chi knew that when he asked a question, the senior brother would definitely respond to an extremely patient and detailed explanation, which was so long that Rao had a strong memory and was prone to dizziness. So before he asked the question, he first went through the thoughts in his mind, and then slowly asked: "Senior brother, you said the other day, 'Having talent is not something to be proud of', what does it mean to be proud?"
"The most commonly used meaning is complacency and pride, but in a few contexts, it can also be understood separately, such as 'comprehending the meaning' and 'achieving the intention' can also be used as a proud word." Senior Brother Xiao Kuang really carried forward his patience as always, "Little Senior Brother, understanding words needs to match the meaning of the words, you can pick out what I said as a word example, this is very good......"
"That's enough." Lin Shan, the young man at the table, couldn't listen anymore, knocked on the table and said: "I feel that I am the number one genius in the world, this is pride; I feel that I don't need to go to school anymore, and I will always be the number one genius in the world, which is complacency; When the two of them are together, they are proud, and it is you who ......" Lin Shan raised his eyebrows and stared at Cen Chi: "...... Little junior brother. ”
Because he was punished by the master five days ago, the young Lin Shan endured the pain of twenty boards, and was beaten off a layer on his buttocks.
And the most uncomfortable thing for him is that his ears are not clear, this little junior brother has hundreds of questions hidden in his head, and he seems to have memorized all the questions he has seen. It's just that the senior brother is patient, pitiful to the weak, and answers all questions. It was too careful and cumbersome, and it was almost calloused when I heard Lin Shan's ear drums, but because of the injuries on his body, he couldn't avoid it.
When lying on the bed to recuperate. He can also pull a few books to read, and devote himself to the knowledge of books, which can naturally isolate some of the "noise" around his ears. But when it came to eating, I couldn't do it anymore. was forced to be noisy, and Lin Shan, who was a teenager, was also a little annoyed.
Cen Chi was frightened by the sudden voice of the second senior brother, but he didn't hear what he just said very clearly.
The senior brother Xiao Kuang on the side didn't care. But he also interrupted the tirade that he was going to give to Cen Chi, and just reminded lightly: "Senior Brother Lin, don't knock on the table when you speak, pay attention to Sven, if Master sees you like this, the next person to be knocked on the head will be you."
Hearing the mention of the honorific title of Master in the words of the senior brother, the two junior brothers at the table were silent together. One is thinking of the pain when he was beaten to the board a few days ago, and the other is thinking of the sadness in his heart when he watched his senior brother take the board a few days ago.
……
……
After eating, Xiao Kuang helped Lin Shan back to bed and lay on his stomach. Cen Chi jumped out of his chair and collected his chopsticks along the edge of the table. He was only six years old. Even if you straighten your back, your shoulders are just as high as the table, and the bowls on the table are out of reach.
Although this little favor was meaningless, when Xiao Kuang turned around to put away the bowl, he still smiled at Cen Chi, who was standing at the table, and thanked him.
Cen Chi looked at the smile on Senior Brother's face, and a thought that had been entrenched in his heart for a long time finally popped out uncontrollably: "Senior Brother." Why don't you stay with us?"
Xiao Kuang didn't answer immediately, but just asked, "Isn't it good that you live with Senior Brother Lin?"
Cen Chi, who was six years old at the time, was immediately ignited, and counted several "crimes" of the second senior brother in one go. It wasn't until the person next to him who was lying on the bed reading a book snorted coldly that he came back to his senses and quickly shut up. But not long after, he cowardly whispered, "Actually...... It's not because of this ......"
When he was young, he couldn't accurately express what was in his heart at that time.
That feeling of dependence on the strong is human nature, but people often feel it first. Then I can think about describing it in words.
The elder brother is strong in martial arts and can kill wild boars and wolves with his bare hands; The elder brother is erudite, at least in Cen Chi's opinion, he can answer all questions; Big Brother...... He cooks very well...... Even if the pentathlon elder brother removes the other two skills, only these three are kept. It is enough to make the six-year-old Cen Chi rely on and admire him so much, and he can't stick to him every day, which is also one of the child's hearts.
But this is a factor that is not conducive to his growth, if there is such a person around him all the time, it is contrary to the intention of the Northern Fence School to include him.
Xiao Kuang didn't ask anything more, but after a moment of silence, he said slowly: "Because what I have learned is different from yours."
Many years later, Cen Chi and Lin Shan remembered what he said, and they both knew that this answer was not accurate, but it was not entirely wrong.
Xiao Kuang majored in martial arts and minored in chess. Compared with martial arts, Lin Shan can tie with Xiao Kuang's fifty-seven moves, but he will definitely not win, and his chess skills are far behind; Compared with chess skills, Cen Chi can draw with Xiao Kuang in five games and four draws, and it is difficult to go further, and Xiao Kuang can flip Cen Chi out of three zhang with one palm......
However, martial arts and chess are actually not the main knowledge of the Beili School. The reason why the old man of the North Fence only taught the eldest disciple two partial knowledge, in addition to the limited talent of the eldest disciple, there is also an unspeakable reason, which is destined to the eldest disciple no matter how omnipotent he is, and he will eventually be ineligible to become the next generation of the successor of the North Fence School.
Therefore, the several skills that Xiao Kuang, the great disciple of the Northern Fence, possessed that made Cen Chi extremely admire and worship, could not actually promote his progress.
But it is not for this reason that the contact between the senior disciple and the two main disciples is severed.
Cen Chi, who was only six years old at the time, didn't know so much, he could probably only say whatever he wanted, but it was this kind of direct feeling that turned into words to confide, which could best reach the point of question. After getting the answer from the senior brother, Cen Chi was still puzzled, and after thinking about it, he asked, "Can't we be together if we learn differently?" Isn't it nice that Senior Brother has been here all these days?"
As soon as Cen Chi's words fell, Lin Shan, who was lying on the bed next to him and pretending to read, also turned his head, obviously he also had this doubt in his heart.
"Hmm...... You're not entirely wrong to say that. Xiao Kuang's hand that was collecting the bowl froze slightly, and he pondered for a moment, then changed the topic and asked softly: "Little junior brother, senior brother asked you, if I am not here these days, and the second senior brother can't help you, then how will you live?"
Cen Chi could hear that the tone of Senior Brother's speech had changed a little, and whenever he spoke like this, it was when he was extremely serious.
Therefore, Cen Chi's complexion soon became stern and serious.
However, when he thought about the question asked by the senior brother several times with great seriousness, he frowned.
He didn't know how to answer, and it was only now that he suddenly realized that although he had a strong memory and a gift that could almost be remembered, he lacked the skills to live alone.
He subconsciously looked to the side because of the punishment and his buttocks were knocked off by the board so that he could only lie on the bed, but he was also looking at the second senior brother who looked at him here.
He suddenly realized that although the second senior brother cooked unpalatable and washed clothes in a hurry, the second senior brother could at least use flint to make fire, and could cook a pot of rice, and even sometimes his clothes were torn by thorns on the mountain road, and the second senior brother could still twist and sew patches...... This qiē life skill, but I can't even barely do it.
"I don't know......" After thinking for a long time, Cen Chi slowly lowered his head, "I won't ......"
"This is the eleventh time you've said that!" Lin Shan, who had been silent next to him, suddenly interjected at this time, "No, you will learn, senior brother will not stay here all the time to listen to you no, I don't know." ”
Xiao Kuang rarely did not help the young Cen Chi speak, but agreed with Lin Shan's words, nodded and then said slowly to Cen Chi: "If I wasn't here, you would have learned to cook." Your height may not be enough to put away the dishes on the table, but if there is no one to help you, I believe that with your mind, you will not be surprised to think that you can step on a stool to put away the dishes. ”
Cen Chi raised his head when he heard this, with a hint of understanding and a little surprise in his expression.
"Taking care of your own life is the most basic skill you should master as a person, regardless of your talent." Xiao Kuang paused slightly, and then continued: "An isolated and helpless environment can best make people learn to bear and be strong, you are still young, and it may not be appropriate to say this to you now, but this is something you must understand."
Before you arrived, the second brother lived alone most of the time, and when he first learned to use the flint, he rubbed and struck the stone hundreds of times, but he couldn't stop trying because he failed, because there was no second person around him who would help, and if he couldn't light firewood, he would only starve.
Because there was sand in the rice, which almost cracked his tooth bones, he learned to wash rice.
Sometimes the Master is not there, and you can only rely on yourself to improve your food. The mountain was rich in produce, but if he hadn't learned how to shoot arrows and design traps, he would have had nothing more than a feast for his eyes if a rabbit passed under his feet and a pheasant flew overhead. ”
"Because I can't count on anyone to help make it easy for me, I can only do it myself and learn to master these most basic skills." Xiao Kuang reached out and gently stroked the braided hair on the top of Cen Chi's head, "If I were here, I might not be able to turn a blind eye to your difficulties, but if so, I wonder how long it will take you to learn this?" This is a result that Master does not want to see. ”――
(To be continued) -
ps: The pit in the North Fence was actually buried very early, and in the first volume, there were chapters involved.
Cen Chi (the third disciple of the Northern Fence) was nominated in the first volume, and he and Xiao Kuang (the great disciple of the Northern Fence) have a few heavier chapters in the second volume, I hope readers will remember.
In addition, in the middle and late stages of the text, there will be a larger plot space about the North Fence, which involves the heroine and several important supporting roles, and I think it is necessary to save zài. Because the plot span of this paragraph is a bit large, I hereby remind you.
