178 grew up and followed the unicorn

Song Jiang was excited when he talked about his past, and he was afraid that the other party would get tired of hearing it, so he said: "Speaking of these Chen sesame seeds and rotten grains, you must be tired of hearing them." ”

Hu Sanniang hurriedly said: "No, we really like to listen." ”

Sanniang didn't lie, she especially wanted to know Song Jiang. Listening to a person's story as a child can give you a better understanding of his future aspirations. Know each other and know yourself, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles.

Song Jiang learned that Hu Sanniang liked to listen, so he talked again; As for whether Lin Siniang likes to listen to it or not, it doesn't matter.

Mr. Zhong taught us for three years, and then on and off for a while. When I was 14 years old, Mr. Chung said to my father, "I'm too old to teach your son anymore." My son can teach him, though. ”

My father hurriedly said, "Then please ask Ling Lang to teach!" ”

"No, my son has an official position, and he is a county lieutenant. - I have to let Song Jiang go to my house to study. ”

"How much does it cost a year?"

My dad asked eagerly, he was still a little reluctant to pay for the money.

Mr. Zhong laughed and said, "I don't want a penny, I want to eat and live." I have a relationship with Ling Lang, and my son read your son's article and praised it a lot......"

My dad said, "Thank you!" Thank you! "I almost kowtowed, not only saved money, but also let my son learn skills, which old man would be unhappy?

Because I am a disciple of Mr. Zhong, I don't care if his son Zhong Kui is called Mr., I just call him brother.

The first time I met Zhong Kui, I liked it very much. Eight feet tall, majestic, with phoenix eyes, silkworm eyebrows, a talent. I immediately thought of the Kirin, and although I had never seen the Kirin, I thought he was a Kirin. reminds me of a poem by Wang Wei: "The unicorn brocade wears a Wu hook, and the sassy green Li leaps into the purple horse." ”

Zhong Kui looked at me and said, "This kid is too thin, he can't study anymore, he has to practice martial arts." ”

He didn't argue for Zhong Laosheng's opinion, so he took me to his backyard. The courtyard is very large, and it is simply a small martial arts training ground. He took off a small bow and asked me to pull it. I tried my best to feed, but I couldn't pull it away.

Zhong Kui snatched the bow from my hand and pulled it away with just one finger. He didn't let me write poems and articles, and practiced drawing a bow every day. After ten days of practice, I was able to pull the bow. Then, teaching me to stand on a pile, punch, and squat on a horse, it was really miserable.

A month later, I filed a complaint with the old gentleman. Zhong Kui took me to the martial arts training ground, punched and kicked me, and scolded me non-stop.

"I'll let you sue, I'll let you sue! Little black, pick up the stick, hit me, hit me! ”

I was so anxious by him that I picked up a stick and hit him on the head and in the face. However, it didn't hit all of a sudden. He snatched the stick and threw it aside. He picked up another stick and hit him again, but he still didn't hit him. That afternoon, I was beaten by him and my nose and face were swollen. The next day, he went to work, and I practiced frantically with a stick on the martial arts training ground.

Three days later, Zhong Kui beat me again with his bare hands, and I was still beaten by him with a stick, and my nose and face were swollen. I was deflated and couldn't get up on my stomach.

He scolded, "Get out of here!" ”

I said, "Manly man, if you don't get up, you won't get up." ”

He came over, picked me up, and began to teach me stick skills, and in only three days I was able to feel it. It won't be that easy for him to beat me with his bare hands. After that, he taught me archery, horseback riding, etc. After half a year, my body is much stronger and I can do some work.

Once, Zhong Kui went to arrest the thieves and took me with him. There were more than a dozen thieves in that gang, all of whom were armed with knives, but they were fierce. Soon, a large part was taken. There was a skinny thief who ran into a yard.

Zhong Kui shouted: "Others are not allowed to move!" Song Jiang, take him down for me. ”

The man was small, but he had a bright knife in his hand, and I only had a stick in my hand.

"Song Jiang, why can't you go yet?" Zhong Kui shouted.

"He, he, he's got a knife in his hand!" I said expectantly.

"Is the guy in your hand a burning stick? If you don't do it again, I'll send you to the palace and send it to the emperor as a eunuch. ”

When he said this, I was angry, and I rushed forward with a stick and fought with the boy. With only three sticks, he knocked his knife away and captured him alive.

Practicing martial arts got sweetness, and my interest in reading and writing articles was greatly reduced, and I was determined to practice martial arts with Zhong Kui.

He said: "Song Jiang, you are not the material for martial arts training, you know this, self-defense is enough." It's no problem to deal with the average scoundrel. From today onwards, learn to write articles with me. ”

I've never seen Zhong Kui write articles, thinking that he can't write, and can only use guns and sticks.

He smiled and said, "Boy, I was admitted to the Jinshi, and this official is not donated." ”

Zhong Kui took out the articles he wrote in his early years and showed me them, and he was convinced at once, and all of them had a heroic atmosphere. Each one does not seem to be an article, but a sharp sword that can penetrate a person's chest at once.

After reading the article, I looked at his poetry collection - "Shooting the Wolf", one of which read-

The east slope looked northwest that year, looked up to the sky and laughed and shot the wolf. Although the wolf is fierce and bullying the sheep and soft, our tiger roars and gnaws at the wolves.

After reading it, I was full of pride, and a sense of grandeur arose from the bottom of my heart. From then on, I never wrote those articles again, using the pen as a knife and gun, stabbing the enemy in the chest.

Zhong Kui didn't teach me much about writing essays, just let me read more. He often said: "There is no fixed law, and the dead man's article must be learned." - Read the "Historical Records" five times for me from beginning to end, and your article will go to the next level. ”

From then on, I began to read the Records of the Historians. It took me more than half a year, and I really read it five times, and I suddenly felt that "there is poetry and books in my belly".

Zhong Kui tested me, and I answered it fluently. He patted me on the shoulder and said, "You're an apprentice!" ”

I said, "I'm too far away, I need to be taught." - Pick up the horse and give it another ride. ”

He laughed and scolded: "Help the horse, I have to give you and the horse two whips." From now on, it's time for you to make your own deed! - It's a mule, it's a horse, it's time to pull it out. ”

"Brother Kui, what should I do next?"

"That's your own business. - I was immediately transferred away and went to the south to serve as a county magistrate. ”

"I'll go with you!"

"I don't need to be a bug."

Soon, Zhong Kui went to work. My heart is empty, and the tea and rice are tasteless. Although, he didn't teach me for a long time, and even said that he didn't teach me anything directly. But I learned so much from him. What I learned from Zhong Kui was not skills, but high morale and a never-say-die spirit.

I found Mr. Zhong again and asked him to show me a clear path. He smiled and said: "It's time for you to take the 'college entrance examination', if you don't get a champion or a leader, you have to get me a tanhua!" ”

I am full of confidence, and from then on, I embarked on the road of the imperial examination.
