Chapter 39: The Courage Contest
Li Rizhi smiled: "Then let's make an appointment with a cemetery, but I don't know how many graveyards there are, if we go to different cemeteries, wouldn't it be bad, there is no comparison, and we have to run for nothing!" ”
Fu Guibao thought about it, it seemed to be the case, however, he had never been to the cemetery, his family worshiped their ancestors in the ancestral hall, and would not go to the cemetery, but the cemetery must be the most terrifying place, and it is the best to compare the gall!
At this time, Fu Guibao still didn't understand what was really terrible, he just felt that he could definitely stay in the cemetery for one night and wouldn't be afraid of ghosts or anything, of course, at least for now.
"I don't know how many graveyards there are, I'll ask the servants to find them, and then pick the largest cemetery, let's make an appointment in the evening, let's go together!" Fu Guibao said.
Li Rizhi nodded and said, "Okay, then you can ask the servant to find it!" Hey, you still can't eat this roast chicken, it's not delicious when it's cold, I'm hungry, I want to eat it, eat chicken wings first! ”
Li Rizhi found a shady place on the side of the road, sat down and concentrated on eating chicken, Fu Guibao was not too hungry, but seeing that Li Rizhi was eating with a mouth full of oil, he was also greedy, sat next to Li Rizhi, and began to eat chicken.
"What do you think of this chicken?"
"There's too much sauce, it's a little salty!"
The two of them ate a lot, both when they were growing their bodies, although the chickens were fat and big, but they ate them all, the broken bones spit all on the ground, and even the chicken head was gnawed clean.
After eating enough, he returned to the academy, and as soon as he arrived at the mountain gate, he saw a young servant dressed in black greet him, and this servant was the servant of the Fu family, named Fu Laixi.
Fu Lai stepped forward and said, "Young master, where have you been, even if you don't want to go to class and want to skip school, you have to say something, there will be no shadow silently, and the little one will be in a hurry!" ”
After Fu Dafa and He left the academy, they felt that their son was alone in the academy, and if there was no one to take care of him, he might not be able to adapt to it, so when they were halfway there, they sent a servant back, and this servant was Fu Laixi.
Fu Laixi went around a big circle in the academy, but he didn't find Fu Guibao, which made him anxious, and thought that Fu Guibao was lost, and later heard that Li Rizhi was gone, so he could be regarded as relieving a little bit, and it was estimated that these two people were skipping school.
So, Fu Laixi went to the mountain gate to wait, and sure enough, Fu Guibao came.
Fu Guibao said impatiently: "Long-winded, come to Xi, you guy has a broken mouth, too long-winded, this young master will punish you!" ”
Fu Laixi's face fell, and he thought: "You skipped school on the first day of school, I am waiting for you here, and you still have to punish me, young master, you have no conscience!" ”
But as a servant, what else can he say, Fu Laixi had to defend himself twice, and then waited for Fu Guibao to say how to punish him.
Fu Guibao said: "You, go to the cemetery now, find the largest cemetery in the vicinity, and then come back and tell me the place, go quickly, don't waste time!" ”
After speaking, he no longer paid attention to Fu Laixi, anyway, the servants of his family, he has always been calling and drinking, Young Master Fu is a little bully at home, and the whole family has to revolve around him!
Li Rizhi didn't wait for him, he entered the mountain gate first, and when he heard Fu Guibao calling him from behind, he said, "Your matter has been dealt with?" ”
Fu Guibao followed closely and said, "It's nothing, just ask the servant to find the cemetery, you won't dare to go tonight, right?" ”
Li Rizhi snorted, pretended to be angry, and said angrily: "What are you talking nonsense, how can I be afraid, it should be that you are afraid!" ”
Fu Guibao shook his head and said, "I, I will not be afraid!" ”
"When you leave tonight, I suggest you bring an extra pair of pants!" Li Rizhi is serious and authentic.
Fu Guibao didn't understand, frowned and said, "It should be a lantern, how can you take pants?" ”
"I'm afraid you'll be scared into your pants, so I suggest you bring an extra one for washing!" Li Rizhi is still serious and authentic.
Fu Guibao was furious, but he was helpless, because after Li Rizhi finished speaking, he ran up the mountain, and with his physical strength, he couldn't catch up at all.
Because the mountain chief Guo Youdu is not there, although there are many teachers in the academy, but the teachers are ordinary teachers, they know Li Rizhi's identity, so they don't blame, no matter what, they have to give the county magistrate a little face.
But for Fu Guibao, there are some teachings that don't have to be polite, the son of the rich man is not rare, he should be taught a lesson, then he has to be taught a lesson, there is no reason to let him go!
As a result, Fu Guibao was reprimanded by three teachers in a row, but Li Rizhi had nothing to do, which made Fu Guibao even more angry, and decided to regain face at night, he firmly believed that he would definitely win if he was more courageous than Li Rizhi!
In the blink of an eye, Zheng Gangling and Guo Youjun both returned to the academy, and the two of them drank too much, so they were directly helped to sleep in the room, and they didn't care how well Li Rizhi reads!
Li Rizhi's room was next to Fu Guibao, Li Rizhi first went to the servants in the academy to ask for a lantern, and then found two candles, one candle was inserted in the lantern, and the other was put in his arms.
Fu Guibao was also ready, the servant Fu Laixi had already returned and told Fu Guibao the location of the cemetery, Fu Laixi was very puzzled by this, and asked: "Young master, you asked where the cemetery is and what are you going to do?" Want to buy a piece of Feng Shui treasure? Do you want to buy it for the master, or buy it for yourself? ”
Fu Guibao snorted and said, "It's for you, you guy, let you do something, you always have to ask the east and west, what's the use of keeping it, it's better to buy a cemetery and bury you alive!" ”
Fu Laixi shrank his neck and hurriedly escaped from the room, he already knew what kind of role his young master was, he had always been able to say that he could make trouble, but when it came to doing things, it was never reliable, it was definitely impossible to bury him alive, but there was no need for him to stay here and be scolded by him.
Fu Laixi did not live in the academy, but rented a private house outside the academy, lived in a private house at night, and only came to the academy to serve Fu Guibao when there was something, he went back to the private house directly, and after a day of running, he was also very tired.
Fu Guibao also prepared a lantern, but there was only one candle in the lantern, and after he lit the candle, the flint was put on the table, and he didn't carry it with him, so he carried the lantern and went to Li Rizhi.
Li Rizhi didn't break his promise, since he agreed to bet on the competition, it would be better to compare, he also carried the lantern and went out with Fu Guibao.
According to the direction that Fu Laixi said, the two of them each carried a lantern and looked for it all the way, and the two little teenagers went out, and no one would pay attention, of course, no one would have thought that they were actually going to find a cemetery, otherwise they would have to be arrested and given a good scolding!
Walking halfway down, Fu Guibao said: "After we get to the cemetery, find a leeward place to sit down, if anyone is afraid first and leaves first, then it will be considered a loss, so fair?" ”
Li Rizhi shook his head and said: "It's not fair, this is definitely not fair, if we stay together, then we will be emboldened by each other, so we can't try to be bold!" You think, if you are timid, but with me, you will not be afraid, then you didn't borrow my courage, but it proves that you are bold, so this is not fair! ”
Fu Guibao listened, thought for a moment, and felt that Li Rizhi was right, if you want to see who is bolder, then you can't be bold with each other, otherwise you really can't see whose courage it is.
Fu Guibao asked: "Then what do you say to do, then what kind of test method, I can't think of a good one, you tell me about yours!" ”
Li Ri knew: "After we go, each find a leeward place, we must not see each other, and then extinguish the candle in the lantern, and then trample the candle to break, it is dark, if there is no candle to light the lantern, then there is no way to go back to the academy, so it will be cut off The way to escape back to the academy without permission, can only stay in the cemetery, the losing side, just cry loudly, or you can climb the tree, but the winning side, you can not go over immediately, and I will go over to comfort you when the day dawns, so it's no problem, right?" ”
Fu Guibao thought about it, but said: "Why wait for dawn, you come to comfort me, maybe I go to comfort you!" ”
"No matter who comforts whom, it will be said at dawn the next day, if anyone is afraid, eat this candy ball first, and when the inspection is done tomorrow morning, whoever does not have a sugar ball will lose!" Li Rizhi continued.
In fact, his method of competition can't stand scrutiny at all, Fu Guibao said that whoever leaves first will lose, and what he said is who eats the sugar ball first, who is considered to lose, but the person who loses can't leave, at most he can only climb up the tree.
However, in the graveyard, who is not afraid of ghosts, but not hiding from wolves, what is the use of climbing up trees?
is such a flawed test method, Fu Guibao was stunned, he actually nodded and said: "Yes, your method is very good, just do as you say, let me tell you, don't look at me fat, but my ability to climb trees must be better than yours!" ”
He took the candy ball and put it in his arms, although he thought that he could not lose, but he was also a little frightened now, because he was in front of him, and it was already dark, and the moon above his head was obscured by dark clouds, sometimes out of the dark clouds, sometimes blocked by dark clouds, flickering and dark.
"This is the graveyard? Well, it doesn't look small, this grave must be about three or four hundred, so big, if there are ghosts, then at least three or four hundred! Li Rizhi said.
At this time, Fu Guibao didn't feel scared, he said, "Then let's find a place for each other!" ”
Li Rizhi said: "Wait, let's extinguish the candle first, and take out the candle and step on it, so as not to have a light, then it will not be as bold as anyone!" ”
Fu Guibao hummed, and sure enough, he took out the candle from the lantern, blew it out, threw it on the ground, and stepped on it twice with his foot, so that the candle could no longer be used, and Li Rizhi did the same, he also threw the candle to the ground and stepped on it twice.
Li Rizhi said: "Okay, let's start competing, let's find a place to stay, see you tomorrow morning, listen, whoever has no sugar ball, who loses!" ”
Fu Guibao hummed, feeling the dark to find a leeward place, and Li Rizhi also made the appearance of looking for a leeward place, the courage contest, the test started!
