Chapter 15: Domineering pride

The proud father was actually very humble in his background, and his family was poor since he was a child, and he was originally just a small worker who moved bricks on the construction site. At that time, the contractor was a lazy grandfather, and in an accident, the lazy grandfather was stoned to death by a brick hanging in the air, and his scheming and scheming deception soon took his place. After another year, the Evil Heart led the Evil Heart tribe to invade Lingxin Village, almost destroying the beautiful and rich Lingxin Village into ruins. Immediately afterwards, after the evil heart was defeated by the Anxin Patriarch, the houses in the entire Lingxin Village had become broken bricks. The patriarch of Anxin then ordered the rebuilding of Lingxin Village, and the deception of the foreman who had been a contractor for more than a year seized this opportunity to start a business of building houses, from which he made a lot of money, and was soon promoted to become a local tyrant.

In order to prevent his son from following in his footsteps, he can be described as obedient and responsive to his needs, and his pampered pride is fat and fat in the deceptive doting. Not only that, but deception often instills some wrong concepts in Pride, he always said proudly: "Son, your father and I have a lot of money now, and we can eat both black and white, so when you walk outside, you must hold your head high, whoever dares to look down on us or bully you outside, no matter who he is, he will teach him a good lesson for me first, and the rest, just let your father and me take the money to settle it, you know?" ”

Proud always nodded as if he didn't understand. Under the care of deception, Aoxin slowly grew up, and Deception suddenly found that he never needed to use his brain to do things, he always stretched out his hands with clothes and opened his mouth with food, so that Proud he became stupid. So, he immediately hired a master for Proud Spirit's high salary, and specially taught Proud Mind to read and hyphenate at home, so that he could become wise.

After hearing that Huixin opened a school on the order of Anxin, he sent Proud to study again, hoping that Proud could take advantage of them and achieve both, so that Proud could become more shrewd. However, because the words and numbers taught by Master Huixin start from the most basic, and Aoxin has already learned them before, this makes Aoxin disagree with everything Master Huixin said, and feels that there is no need to repeat it after he has learned it, so that he often makes some small actions in the school to affect other children's learning.

After Master Huixin found out, he criticized: "Proud heart, you can't learn it yourself, and you don't want to learn, so please don't affect other children who like to learn, I don't want a mouse poop to spoil a pot of porridge!" ”

Ao Xin said unconvinced: "What can't you learn? I've learned what you're talking about, it's all pediatric stuff. I'm afraid that you may not understand everything I understand. ”

"Oh, I didn't think you're a well-read genius? In that case, you might as well ask me a question and see if I can answer it, don't you know if I understand? ”

"Okay, since you say that, I'll start asking questions now." I heard him ask, "What is it that we eat all the time, but we never get enough to eat?" "Proud Xin likes to ask these irrelevant questions in front of everyone, and wants to embarrass Huixin so that he can't get off the stage, so that he can be happy.

Unexpectedly, Master Huixin only thought about it for a while, and replied, "It's air." ”

"Why does a hungry stray cat run away when he sees a mouse with a fat intestine and a fat brain?" Proud of his heart, he couldn't help but ask unconvinced.

Huixin stroked her beard and replied, "Because it can't wait to catch and eat that mouse." ”

In this way, Master Huixin was able to tactfully resolve the sharp questions he raised every time. But this time, Master Huixin really couldn't get used to the invincible attitude of arrogance, so he decided to frustrate his arrogance. When he finished answering the question raised by Aoxin, he praised Aoxin by the way, and only heard him say unhurriedly: "Aoxin, you are the most active in asking questions, but I also heard that you are also a master of answering questions and solving doubts, I don't know if it's true?" ”

Proud said triumphantly: "That's absolutely right, there is no problem in this world that is difficult to defeat my pride." ”

"Oh, since that's the case, the master has a question that he can't figure out all the time and wants to ask you, I wonder if you can answer it for you?" Huixin said modestly.

This made the pride even more fluttering, and he secretly thought in his heart: If I can really answer the question that even the master doesn't understand, then it proves that I am smarter than the master. So, he said contemptuously, "Just mention it, and my answer will surely convince you." ”

Master Huixin stroked his beard and asked, "Is there a chicken and then an egg in this world?" Or is there the egg first and then the chicken? This is the problem that has always bothered me, please answer it for us! ”

Ao thought for a moment, and said to himself: "There should be chickens first, then chickens and then eggs, and then eggs." But he thought about it and said, "No, where did the chicken come from?" It must have been an egg first, and then the egg turned into a chick. But when he thought about it, he felt that it was wrong, where did the egg come from? It made his mind feel like he was stuck in a whirlpool, unable to grasp any clues. But he didn't want to admit defeat lightly, and now it was a two-choice answer, and he might have half a chance to hit a random one, so he said: "There must be eggs first and then chickens." ”

Master Huixin smiled: "Heh, you are so sure, then may I ask, where did this egg come from?" ”

Proud Xin knew that Huixin would ask him this, so he pondered for a while, and suddenly a cluster of spiritual light flashed in his mind, and he said happily: "I heard you say that in ancient times, there was a monkey named Sun Wukong that could pop out of a stone, so we have reason to believe that the ancestor of this chicken must have jumped out of which stone egg." So, there must be the eggs first and then the chickens. ”

As soon as the words fell, the classmates couldn't help laughing, and Huixin couldn't help laughing: "Your imagination is so rich." ”

Seeing this, Ao Xin was angry and said, "What are you laughing at? Do you know the answer? The pot calling the kettle black. If any of you have a different opinion, stand up and talk about it, I would like to see how capable you are. ”

Master Huixin followed his meaning and asked, "Good idea, whoever has a different opinion might as well speak it out now and listen to it, so that everyone can have a long insight." ”

At this time, Shanxin raised his hand and stood up and said, "I don't think this question is very complicated!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the friends were stunned, and they all looked at her with wide eyes, wanting to hear what profound insights she had next.

I only listened to the kindness and said unhurriedly: "Egg, egg, we can see from the literal face of these two words, the word chicken is in front of the word egg, so I think that there must be a chicken first and then there is an egg, this is my opinion." Then she sat down.

As soon as the voice fell, the classmates began to laugh out loud again.

"Is that all right?" Ambition said with a smile of deep surprise.

At this time, the only thing that can't laugh is pride, he really didn't expect that there would be someone who openly argued with him, which obviously didn't want to save face for him! So he was obviously very angry, and said angrily: "You know how to laugh, so who is right and who is wrong now?" The laughter stopped abruptly.

When Master Huixin saw him say this, he pushed the boat down the river and replied, "Okay! Now that there are two answers, let's raise our hands and see which one supports the most and whose answer is correct, okay? ”

"Good!" Everyone replied in unison.

As a result, everyone raised their hands in support of Shanxin, which made Aoxin very dissatisfied, but he had to hold back and dare not speak. Seeing this, Master Huixin added: "In fact, we still can't know who comes first between the chicken and the egg. But judging from the answers of the two students just now, it is still more convincing with kindness, and as for what Proud said, it is purely out of nothing and is not advisable. Today, I just want to use this question to tell you that even if you are rich and rich, there are always some difficult problems in the world that you can't answer, so no matter what we do, we must be humble, and we can't always be self-righteous and feel as if we can do anything, otherwise, one day you will fall into the pit under your feet because of arrogance. ”

After school, the classmates began to use the theory that the arrogant chicken jumped out of the stone egg as a laughing stock and shouted and made fun of him everywhere, only to see the thief said: "Hey, arrogant, did you say that your ancestors also jumped out of the stone egg to have your family?" ”

When Ao Xin heard this, he was very annoyed and said: "You kid is tired of living, right, I have to beat you to death now!" After saying that, he ordered the fat and thin scholar on the left and right: "Go, catch him for me, I must beat him to death." ”

The left and right scholars listened to the order and viciously chased after the thief, and the thief saw this and ran into the garden next to the school. The two scholars chased after each other, but no matter how they pursued, the thief could use the flowers and trees in the garden to dodge left and right, and when he saw this, he scolded proudly: "You two are two rice buckets, and you can't do these little things, it seems that I have to go out in person." After saying that, he also joined the team to round up the thief's heart.

The thief's heart is born with soft bones and quick skills, no matter how arrogant they chase and intercept, they can't catch the thief's heart. In the end, the panting and arrogant still lost the battle, and had to declare the pursuit unsuccessful, only to hear him say intermittently: "Count... Forget it, let's let him go for the time being, it's not too late for him to settle accounts with him tomorrow when he comes to school. ”

Seeing that they were all tired of chasing after the pride of the thief, the thief said defiantly: "Hey, you are here to arrest me, I am so tired that I can't run?" You now know what the fat man's Achilles' heel is, right? If you want to catch me, go back and lose weight first! None of them were able to catch me, it's so boring, don't play with you, I'll go home first. After saying that, the thief swaggered away.

This made the arrogant heart jump to his feet, only to hear him say with bad intentions: "Thief, don't be too complacent, you kid, you will have good fruit to eat tomorrow!"

Just when the arrogance was in a hurry, the kindness of doing the hygiene on duty happened to come from their side. Proud of his kindness, he thought that what had happened today was a great shame for him, and all of this was caused by kindness, if it weren't for her different opinions, then everyone would definitely agree with his thoughts. He doesn't have to be teased by thieves, the more arrogant he thinks about it, the more angry he becomes, it's time to find a good heart to settle this account.
