Chapter 5 Competition

Vice General Yang was sent to Zhao Gao by Meng Tian to help Zhao Gao maintain the order of this competition, after listening to Zhao Gao's words, he immediately took the soldiers and dragged out the few people who had just made trouble, Zhao Gao looked at the people who were far away, and said to the people who stayed with a smile: "You still have a chance, if you don't want to take the written test, you can leave now." ”

After listening to Zhao Gao's words, a few people hesitated for a moment, and finally left, Li Jiang looked at the remaining twenty people and said, "Now there are only twenty of you left, now you can form a team into two groups, a group of ten people, and complete the test." ”

Everyone listened to Li Jiang's words, consciously formed two groups, and then walked to the group of victims, Li Jiang looked at the carpenters who had already started to work, and said to Zhao Gao with a smile: "Fortunately, Ah Gao came in time, otherwise the scene would not be easy to clean up, and it is really a wise move to borrow troops from Brother Meng." ”

"Because, not everyone is like Jiang Er." Zhao Gao smiled and said to Li Jiang: "Jiang Er, don't worry, this pair of soldiers will maintain order here for the past ten days, and they know that the competition is over." ”

"That's it, thank you so much, Ah Gao, thank you Brother Meng." Li Jiang listened to Zhao Gao's words, and said with a smile, with this team of soldiers, there can be a lot of things missing.

"Jiang'er, what are you polite to us?" Zhao Gao said with a little doting in his tone.

At the beginning, everyone still had a discussion, a group of ten people, two groups, everyone was coming up with ideas, a large number of people thought that the most important thing for the victims was the lack of silver, and they needed to raise money, as long as they had money, they would have a good life, so the main thing was to raise silver, but there were also some people who thought that so many refugees, silver could not solve everything, maybe silver could solve it for a while, but it was not a long-term solution.

When this proposal came out, everyone was in a dilemma, because he was right, silver can't solve everything, not to mention that there are not thousands of victims here, there are hundreds of people, they don't have so much money at all, the more they think about it, the more difficult they feel, and the whole person's nature begins to reveal when they encounter difficulties, some people can't think of a good way, but the more irritable they are, and then gradually some people begin to complain that Li Jiang deliberately makes things difficult, what does apprenticeship have to do with these refugees, the more I think about it, the more I hate it, the more I hate it. But because the soldiers brought by Zhao Gao did not dare to act rashly, but over time, some people began to complain, and a few people chose to quit.

Li Jiang and Zhao Gao, who were observing from the sidelines, looked at the carpenters who were leaving one after another, as well as those who were complaining, Zhao Gao asked, "Do you think those ones are better?" ”

"It's still a long time, so keep reading." Li Jiang didn't answer Zhao Gao directly, but said shallowly.

"I've got a couple of people who like it." Zhao Gao looked at a few people in the middle who didn't talk much, but they were gradually thinking deeply, and Zhao Gao seemed to take a fancy to them.

"Then let's see if the person you're watching can finally persevere." Li Jiang smiled lightly and said.

"Do you want us to make a bet?" Zhao Gao said suddenly.

"Bet on what?" Li Jiang seemed interested.

"How's a meal?" Zhao Gao looked at Li Jiang with a smile and said, "If I win, how about you cook a meal for me yourself?" ”

"Okay." Li Jiang listened to Zhao Gao's words and said with a smile: "If I win, you will go into my house to learn carpenter, how about it?" ”

"Deal." Zhao Gao said briskly, raised his palm, and swore an oath.

"Deal." Li Jiang also simply stretched out his hand and high-fived and said, crisp applause rang out, the bet was completed, Zhao Gao and Li Jiang looked at each other and smiled.

At this time, someone among the carpenters stood up and shouted: "What kind of exam question is this, it is obviously deliberately difficult, could it be that Li Lao has a high reputation, so he can embarrass us like this?" We have come to learn from our teacher sincerely, but he has let us suffer here and make things difficult for us, what is the reason? ”

"That is, what is the reason? I ask for an explanation. Seeing that someone started, the other immediately followed suit.

"If so, everyone is like you, what else do you need to come to worship?" A carpenter who squatted on the side and rarely spoke stood up and said: "Since you are sincerely coming to apprentice, no matter what the test question is, as long as you work hard, you have such an opinion, if you really succeed in apprenticeship, will you treat it sincerely?" ”

"You ......" When the two people heard the man's words, their faces turned red, and then they said mockingly: "Before you have succeeded in apprenticeship, you have begun to pat the horse's whiskers, and it is not certain that you can enter the eyes of Li Lao?" ”

"Whether the apprenticeship is successful or not, this is what we must know, if everyone is like you, this carpenter's craftsmanship has long been lost, this time whether I succeed or not, I am sincerely tested, Li Lao's craftsmanship can learn a little, it is a fine craft." With that, the carpenter turned away from their side and walked towards the refugees.

Looking at the carpenters who left, several carpenters followed one after another, and gradually only the two carpenters who were shouting just now remained, at this time Vice General Yang stepped forward and said, "You can leave, since you are not satisfied with the competition, you have not passed." ”

Hearing that Vice General Yang drove people, the two carpenters dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and finally said: "Just go, who is rare." Then he fled.

Zhao Gao looked at the two people who left, and said to Li Jiang: "There are still several carpenters in this batch, does Li Lao only accept one?" I feel a little pity. ”

"Ah Gao." Li Jiang listened to Zhao Gao's words, and suddenly smiled: "Did I say that I would only accept one disciple?" ”

"Didn't you say that you would only accept one disciple?" Zhao Gao felt that he should be not mistaken.

"My father only accepts one disciple." Li Jiang said with a smile: "But I never said that I don't accept ordinary disciples." ”

Zhao Gao heard this and smiled.

"You're misleading them." Zhao Gao felt that Li Jiang's careful thinking was really interesting.

"I just want to see how many people have only one place, how many people can do their best for this place, and those who can stay at the end can meet the character of a real carpenter, those who give up halfway, we don't need it." Li Jiang said seriously, this is the first time that Li Lao has accepted apprentices, and he must be cautious in order to pass on this skill.

"What do you think of them?" Zhao Gao asked.

"It remains to be seen." Li Jiang said with a smile.

"Those carpenters who gave up, but they are going to regret it." Zhao Gao thought about those who gave up halfway, and he could think of their annoyed expressions, and he wanted to laugh.

"They gave up on their own, so why regret it." Li Jiang said with a smile: "Everyone should bear the consequences of the decisions they make. ”

"You're right." After listening to Li Jiang's words, Zhao Gao said approvingly: "Let's see how these carpenters behave again."

"Okay." Li Jiang and Zhao Gao looked at each other and smiled, while the other carpenters didn't know everything.

In this way, the sky slowly darkened, and Li Jiang said to the carpenters: "It's getting late, everyone can go back first, and look forward to everyone's performance in the past ten days." ”

After listening to Li Jiang's words, the carpenters seemed to be liberated, and left one after another, only one carpenter remained here, that is, the carpenter who had refuted the two before, Li Jiang stepped forward curiously and asked: "Everyone else has already left, why don't you leave?" ”

"Miss Li." The carpenter saluted, and then said shallowly, "I just want to stay here for a while." ”

"Oh, why?" Li Jiang asked.

"I'm looking for answers." The carpenter replied.

"Did you find it?" Li Jiang asked.

"Not yet." The carpenter answered honestly.

"What's your name?" Li Jiang asked curiously.

"It's called Takagi under my name." The carpenter replied respectfully.

"Takagi." Li Jiang said with a smile; "Looking forward to your performance." After speaking, Li Jiang left with Zhao Gao.

On the second day, when Li Jiang came to the refugee area, he found that Gao Mu was still there, and it seemed that he had not been back all night. ”

Looking at Takagi, whose clothes were a little wrinkled and his face was a little haggard, Li Jiang said, "You didn't go back all night?" ”

"Yes." Gao Mu replied to Li Jiang and said: "Before, I didn't think there were many of them, but after last night and night, I realized that my life was so luxurious and comfortable, but I still complained about the injustice in this world sometimes, but I never thought that there were people in this world who were even more miserable than myself." ”

"You've got some idea." Li Jiang listened to Gao Mu's words, and said with a smile, Gao Mu said Yes, when you complained about the injustice of the world, did you ever think about those who were even more miserable than you.

"Yes." Takagi knew Li Jiang's good intentions, and said respectfully: "I think that one person can't do anything for them, but I can use my carpenter's hands to create a shelter for them." ”

"Good." After listening to Takagi's words, Li Jiang nodded with satisfaction and said.

"I admire Miss Li's good intentions." After Takagi understood Li Jiang's intentions, he said with admiration.

"I didn't do anything, it's up to you personally, not everyone will miss you." Li Jiang said with a slight smile.

Gao Mu listened to Li Jiang's words, remembered everyone's choice in the past few days, and silently stopped talking, indeed, everyone's conduct, and inner thoughts are different, and they can't be forced.

Gradually, the carpenters also came one after another, Li Jiang counted the number of people, and found that a few carpenters did not come, and now there are only thirteen carpenters left, Li Jiang did not say anything, and everyone did not mention it again, because they felt that the fewer people, the greater their hope of victory.

Li Jiang said to the carpenters: "Because of the number of people, we will not group everyone to complete this test together." ”

After listening to Li Jiang's words, the carpenters had no opinion, after all, there were many people and great strength, Li Jiang turned around and left after saying this, the scene was guarded by Vice General Yang, Vice General Yang looked at this group of people, did not speak, but the whole body revealed majesty, but the carpenters and refugees did not dare to make a mistake.
