Chapter Twenty-Three: Wish-fulfilled
At noon, Master Yao Ding dragged his equally sleepy legs and went to take a nap, and assigned the four of them homework at noon, writing 2,000 words, and they were not allowed to rest until they finished writing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
There was a sound of Master Yao closing the door next door, and Zhang Daxiao stood up, "A few junior brothers, my hands have festered, I'll go to the pharmacy to get some medicine, and I'll be back soon." ”
After speaking, he unwrapped the wrapping cloth and showed it to everyone, and sure enough, it was a bloody piece, Yue Fei said: "Isn't there medicine on the table in front of you?" I think it works. ”
"The medicine didn't work for me at all, the wound got worse, I'll go and come back."
Zhang Daxiao left the school room and hurriedly left, Li Yanqing slipped out of the thatched house under the pretext of going to the house, and looked around, but he didn't find Wang Gui, I don't know where this kid has gone?
At this time, Li Yanqing saw Li Er, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull Li Er aside, and whispered a few words to him, Li Er nodded, "It's a trivial matter, promise not to let him see it." ”
Li Eryi ran outside the school, Li Yanqing came back and continued to write, about half an hour later, Zhang Daxiao had not come back, Tang Huai was a little worried, and said to Yue Fei: "Fifth brother, Brother Qing, what do you say Brother Zhang is doing, he hasn't come back yet, and the master will wake up in a while, see how he does it?" Then he was beaten and cried again. ”
At this time, Li Yanqing saw Li Er who was probing his brain at the door, so he put down his pen and said, "I've finished writing, so I'll go and get him back." ”
He got up and walked out of the schoolroom, Li Er hurriedly pulled him to the side and whispered: "That kid went to the pharmacy to ask the guy for a long time, and then he bought croton powder, and bought a lot, I saw him eat it with my own eyes, and then.... So he ran to the inn. ”
Li Yanqing smiled dumbly, he actually ate croton, which guy made a bad move? He asked again, "Do you see Wang Gui?" ”
"Over there!"
Li Er pointed to the door of the school, only to see Wang Gui wrestling with a few students, Li Yanqing hurriedly ran over, pulled Wang Gui aside, and asked him, "Do you still want to participate in the Boys' Club?" ”
"Of course I want to, I dream of it!"
"But you have to endure hardships, and you can see how we are tortured."
Wang Gui patted his chest, "As long as I can go to the boys' club, I won't be afraid of hardship." ”
Li Yanqing glanced at him suspiciously, and said slowly: "If you really want to go, now is a chance." ”
"What chance?" Wang Gui's eyes widened.
Li Yanqing lowered his voice and said a few words to him, Wang Gui was suddenly surprised and delighted, "Really? ”
"Of course it's true, it's up to your grandfather to fight for you."
"I'll tell my grandfather now!"
Li Yanqing grabbed him, "Don't worry, I'll talk about it after school, it is estimated that his condition should be serious at that time." ”
......
When there was still half a month before the Boys' Club, Zhang Daxiao, one of the four players in Lushan Academy, had an accident, severe diarrhea, and was unfortunately bedridden and had to quit halfway.
Zhang Baojun, one of the four squires, gave Wang Wanhao a face, and gave this place to the Wang family, Wang Gui got his wish and joined the preparation team, but unfortunately the teacher was unfavorable, and the next day he was pressed on the table by the angry Yao Ding, and his ass was beaten to the ground.
"Woo-woo - I'm quitting, I'm quitting!"
Listening to Wang Gui crying like a pig, Li Yanqing felt sympathy in addition to sympathy.
As the time for the Boys' Club drew nearer, Master Yao Ding's temper became more and more irritable.
"Such a bullshit article still wants to participate in the county-wide literary competition? If I were you, I would have been killed by a headfirst crash! ”
The roar of Master Yao's beast reverberated in the school, so frightened that all the students did not dare to talk loudly, held their breath, and even walked on tiptoe, passing by that special school room by chance, their eyes glanced hurriedly, and that glance was also full of sympathy for the four of them, of course, individual people would also have a kind of schadenfreude.
In the room, Yao Dingman stared at Wang Gui with blood-red eyes and shouted: "I'll give you one last chance, the upper link is: the bright moon and the pine are shining, what is the lower link?" ”
Wang Gui was so frightened that his eyes trembled, his soul was almost gone, where could he still remember Wang Wei's poems, at this time, Li Yanqing kicked a stone on the ground with his foot, and gestured a peeing posture, Wang Gui's eyes lit up, as if he had picked up a treasure, and stammered: "Qing... Qingquan Stone... Upstream. ”
Yao Ding glared at Wang Gui for a long time, and suddenly turned around and used a bamboo whip to slash his head and cover his face and whip Li Yanqing, the reason why he changed back to the bamboo whip was because his iron and wood ring ruler was interrupted when he beat his grandson Yue Fei, and he couldn't find a suitable guy for a while.
"From now on, Wang Maha's poems will be silently written to me three times, and no one will be allowed to go back to sleep until the silence is finished!"
........
Although Yao Ding was eager to break one day into three days, the time for the Boys' Club finally came, at this time, Xiangzhou had entered the middle of winter, and there were two heavy snowfalls, and the world became a snow-capped world, which was also the happiest time of the year for children.
On the sixth day of the lunar month, Yao Ding gave them an unprecedented day off to have a good time, but the four of them slept for a day and a night, and even Wang Gui, who loves snowball fights, couldn't get out of the bed.
At dawn the next day, more than a dozen squires of Xiaohe Township gathered in the school to see off the four of them, and twenty days of hard study made them gain a lot, and Wang Gui was able to recite more than 100 poems in front of his grandfather in one breath, which made his grandfather Wang Wanhao so proud, and praised his grandson for his success.
Even Zhang Baojun secretly regretted that he shouldn't let his grandson give up, every day he saw his grandson Zhang Daxiao pretending to be sick and lazy and refusing to get up, so he didn't get angry.
Li Wenyou encouraged them on behalf of the people, hoping that they could add glory to their hometown, and took a plate of broken silver and handed it to Yao Ding, which was a little effort from everyone to spend money in the county.
In the past, the four major families in the township monopolized the quota, and the squires were not interested in seeing them off, but this time it was different, they all heard from their children about the four of them preparing for war, which made them have a glimmer of hope in their hearts.
Yao Ding still had a dark face, in his opinion, the four of them were still far from his requirements, Li Yanqing was barely okay, Yue Fei couldn't, the other two were even straw bales, he couldn't count on the top three, and he would be satisfied if he could get the sixth.
Yao Ding asked the four students to line up in a row, bowed to the squires who saw them off, and then got into the carriage, which was provided by Wang Wanhao, very wide and strong, and with a layer of skin on the outside, and a thick carpet underneath, it was relatively warm to sit in in the cold winter.
The carriage was divided into two rooms, Yao Ding sat alone in the front and took a nap, while the four students sat in the back, they sat directly on the soft carpet, covered with a thick quilt, but they were very excited, and they kept talking all the way.
Tang Huai smiled: "Last year, I was the youngest of the four, but this year I am the biggest, it's really interesting!" ”
Among the four, Tang Huai is nine years old, Yue Fei and Wang Gui are both eight years old, and Li Yanqing is only six years old, but he is young and old, and his skeleton is big, and he looks the same as eight or nine years old, no one would have thought that he was only six years old.
At this time, Yao Ding's listless voice came from the front, "Other schools all choose twelve or thirteen-year-old students, but I am confused, I chose a few of you, and there is actually a six-year-old, hey!" This time I am really going to lose face. ”
Wang Gui and Li Yanqing stuck out their tongues, and both of them giggled.
Among the four, Yue Fei is the most serious, taciturn, and doesn't like to mess around, although Tang Huai doesn't talk much, he can't do anything bad.
At this time, Yue Fei asked Tang Huaidao: "Ah Tang, you participated in the children's meeting last year, tell everyone how to compete!" Let us know in our hearts. ”
Tang Huai thought for a while and said: "Last year, there were a total of seven days of competition, the first three days were to fight in the ring, then a day off, and the fifth day was the exam, starting from dawn until noon, and then the results were announced the next morning. ”
"What's the announcement?" Li Yanqing asked.
"All the results, the results of the ring competition plus the results of the subsequent exams, the one with the highest score won the first place this year."
Speaking of this, Tang Huai was very frustrated and said: "Last year, we were eliminated in the first round of the ring, and in the final exam, we ranked last, and the result was a feather, of course, every year. ”
Li Yanqing asked curiously: "I heard that there was a school that withdrew from the competition last year, what happened?" ”
Tang Huai waved his hand, making the three of them lower their heads, he lowered his voice and said: "There is a clear and secret fight here, unscrupulous means, last year Tangbeixiang School was originally the first in the ring, but the next day collective diarrhea, had to withdraw from the boys' club, Yili Town School won the first place in the ring competition, the first place in the exam, and we also won the seventh place for the first time, everyone said that Tangbeixiang School should not eat out that night." ”
Everyone's hearts were a little heavy, and at this time, Wang Gui smiled and said, "Let's talk about something light!" What are the rewards for winning the top spot? ”
"Reward! I heard that the leader is 300 yuan, the second is 200 yuan, and the third is 100 yuan, but there is no more. ”
Tang Huai saw that Wang Gui's eyes were shining, and hurriedly said: "This money does not belong to himself, it is for the academy, to make up for the leaky house, to repair the gates, tables and chairs, etc." ”
Wang Gui was immediately deflated, "Then what good do we have?" ”
Tang Huai scratched his head, "There are also personal benefits!" The township will give rewards, but the most anticipated thing is that the name of the leader can enter the county chronicles, and the county will also wear a copper plum for each person and get the title of prodigy, as if there is anything else? ”
Next to him, Li Yanqing added seriously, "Rich people will do everything possible to marry their daughter to you." ”
The four children burst into laughter, and in the midst of laughter, the carriage pressed over the snow and quickly drove towards the county seat.
