Chapter 31: The Bandits
When Yang Xu saw the looks of the husband and wife, he already knew their intentions, and wanted to refuse, but he couldn't resist their enthusiasm, so he had to let Hao Zhao worship the tea teacher.
After such a commotion, there were already many villagers in front of the door to stop and watch, and the village slapped and laughed, and there were no more than 100 people in the whole village, and in less than a moment the whole village knew what was going on. Watching Hao Zhao apprentice and follow Yang Xu to learn to read and write, the children in the family have moved their minds, and some have come to apprentice, and for a while, Yang Xu's thatched house has become very lively.
If it is said that the acceptance of apprentice Hao Zhao is a whim, then the acceptance of these eight or nine students is forced by the enthusiasm of the villagers.
So three days later, there was an additional pavilion in the village; You said that there was no pen and ink, okay, we bought it, so several families bought two sets of pen and ink inkstones in the town. Looking at a group of villagers who were enthusiastic and almost stubborn, stubborn and almost crazy, what else could Yang Xu say, he had to be a teacher in the village.
It's three months.
About 100 miles northeast of Hebian Village, there is a cottage, there are more than 100 bandits living in the village, usually make a living by plundering caravans, the boss is called Lu Renjia, the second Lu Renyi, the third Lu Renshan.
"Big brother, what do you think this is?" As soon as the second child returned to the village, he came to find Lu Renjia and handed over the things in his hand.
"Second brother, why the hell will I let you go down the mountain, and you will rob a painting and come back, do you want us all to drink the northwest wind?" Lu Renjia snatched the thing and said angrily.
"Big brother, don't be busy blaming me first, you can look at the people in the painting first?" The second child was very mysterious, and suddenly came to such a sentence.
Looking at the expression of the second child, Lu Renjia was also a little strange, so he slowly opened the scroll and looked at the characters in the painting, but he couldn't come back to his senses for a while.
"Big brother, don't you think the image in this painting is a fairy in the sky?"
As soon as the second child reminded, Lu Renjia reacted, put away the picture scroll, knocked it directly at his head, and scolded: "What about the fairy, what is the use of even if it is the queen mother, can you see it, can you touch it, can you exchange it for silver, can it be eaten as a meal?" ”
"Yo, yo, big brother, you tap!" The second child pretended to be a light shout, and when Lu Renjia finished speaking, he came up again, "Big brother, this fairy is different, maybe you can really see it and touch it, I heard the scholar with the painting say that this painting was painted by him by copying a real person, and the fairy daughter in the painting is in the riverside village not far away!" ”
"Really?" Lu Renjiahu said suspiciously.
"Really!" The second child said with a smile.
"Then what are you waiting for, gather all the brothers in the village, let's go to the riverside village to rob people!" As he spoke, Lu Renjia picked up the picture scroll and couldn't wait to go out.
And at this time the riverside village.
"Hao Zhao, you come and recite it, the Analects of Wei Ling!"
Hao Zhao rose in response, his face was full of confidence, and he began to recite silently word by word, "Wei Linggong asked Chen Yu Confucius, and Confucius said to Yuzi: Clever words are messy, and if you can't bear it, you will be chaotic and conspiracy, and the way of Gu Xiangshi is also!" ”
In less than three minutes, Hao Zhao memorized the article of more than 900 words in one go, without a pause in between. Yang Xu nodded with satisfaction, motioned for him to sit down, and then turned to the other side,
"Chubby, you can recite it to me too!" Hearing Yang Xu's roll call, I saw the child who was called Little Fat, but he stood up with a complicated face, "Wei Linggong asked Chen Yu Confucius, and Confucius said, "Little Fat has been grinding there for a long time, but he can't say that he is tall."
Seeing that he was stuck in the first sentence, Yang Xu felt a headache, the sense of accomplishment of being a teacher at the beginning, in the past three months, has been worn to the point that only burnt out. Among these eight or nine students, except for Hao Zhao, whose qualifications are better, the others are mediocre, and some can even be called stupid.
Now Yang Xu can finally understand why the teacher's eyes looked at him so weirdly when he was in school, because his eyes now are exactly the same as the teacher's eyes at that time.
Seeing Yang Xu walking over with a rattan in his hand, Xiaopang was terrified.
"Master, can you not hit my palm?"
"Then you say, where did I hit you?" Yang Xu asked him with interest.
Xiaopang suddenly lay down, still arching his buttocks, and said, "I did something wrong, my father and mother all spanked me, Master, you can also spank me!" I will never cry out in pain! ”
At this time, the other students suddenly burst into laughter, "Silence! Yang Xu scolded lightly, and suddenly the whole class was silent.
Yang Xu turned his head again, "Little Fatty, I won't beat you today, I will check your homework tomorrow, if you can't memorize it again, the punishment will be doubled!" Alright, that's the end of today's schoolwork, class! ”
Hearing Yang Xu shout to end class, the children instantly burst into cheers, and then rushed out of the pavilion.
"Little fatty, you don't let the master beat your palms, but you won't be able to carry it tomorrow, and the spanking will be doubled!" Hao Zhao caught up with the little fat in front of him and said. These two people, one with the best results and the other with the worst results, can play together, it's a miracle.
But I saw the little fat smile, "Hao Zhao, do you think I'm really so stupid, if I hit the swollen palm, then how can I play, you don't know, I found a bird's nest in the mountain yesterday, and we will go up the mountain to dig out the bird's eggs later!" ”
"Ahh Hao Zhao was excited for a while, and said hurriedly: "What are you waiting for, let's go now!" Chubby, you lead the way! ”
Yang Xu looked at the children who were scattered, his face full of smiles. As a teacher, although I am anxious every day, I feel that every day is very fulfilling when I watch the children grow up day by day.
Yang Xu and the other children were gone, and walked along the path alone and walked towards the mountain. After more than an hour, finally arriving at the top of the mountain, Yang Xu took a deep breath.
This mountain top is his favorite place, not only because of the beautiful scenery and the mountains, but also because it can look at China from afar and take care of the mountains and rivers. In the past three months, Yang Xu has never given up his original intention, but every time he told Diao Chan that he was going to go out, he was blocked by Diao Chan's strong tenderness, which made him have to keep silent.
The reason why Yang Xu wanted to be a celebrity, if it is said that he shows his talent and is famous for eternity, then it is second, mainly to find a safe place, so that Diao Chan can live happily, without having to run around for some trivial matters of firewood, rice, oil and salt, although Diao Chan is very happy every day, but as a man, how can he watch his woman suffer.
"What a mountain and a river!" Yang Xu looked into the distance and couldn't help but sigh.
"Brother Xu, I knew you were here!" A light voice came, Yang Xu turned around, and saw Diao Chan coming over.
"Cicada, you're here!" Yang Xu responded with a smile.
"Brother Xu, you have been here every day for the past few days, do you have anything on your mind?" Diao Chan walked up to Yang Xu and asked softly.
Yang Xu smiled slightly, but did not explain her question, but said, "Cicada, close your eyes and try to hear something?" ”
Diao Chan was puzzled, but still tried to close his eyes and listen for a moment before replying: "I heard the sound of the mountain wind blowing, the sound of running water at the bottom of the mountain, and the sound of birds chirping!" ”
Yang Xu smiled and shook his head, "No, that's not all!" ”
"What did Brother Xu hear?" Diao Chan asked curiously.
"I heard it!" Yang Xu said and looked into the distance, his expression became solemn, and his tone deepened. "What I heard was the rumbling and roaring war drums, the hooves of galloping horses, and the cries of the people of Li thousands of miles away!"
