Chapter 7: I Believe in You
The capital has entered Bailu, but the sultry weather still makes people feel uncomfortable. Pedestrians along the way are in a hurry, looking at the dark clouds, and after a while, there will be a downpour.
This morning, Su Man and Lu Ziming had dinner together and set off to the school.
"Yesterday, it was Fang Zijian and Huang Hongxuan who let people beat you?" On the carriage, Su Man made the final confirmation.
Lu Ziming nodded, he didn't feel good in his heart, he was a man who asked the little girl to stand up for him, and he felt that he couldn't hold it on his face. "You...... Leave it alone, I'll take care of it myself."
"How to deal with it, are you going to forbear, or are you going to report to the master?"
Hearing the words of the report, Lu Ziming's fists clenched, he is not a person who likes to make small reports, let alone a traitor. He had never told his master about the test questions, and he had never told his master about being excluded from the school.
In the world of children, they have their own principles of doing things, not to mention that they are already eleven or twelve years old, and many times they feel that they are mature enough to take on any responsibility.
"I ...... I never reported to my master......" Lu Ziming said weakly, as if he was only talking to himself.
"I know" Su Man looked at the stubborn young man in front of him, how much loss he would have to suffer with such a temperament.
"You don't know at all" You don't understand at all, many things, don't explain the grievances, explain the hypocrisy. And no one believes it if it's hypocritical. You fools only speculate on others with your own thoughts, and if you do, you will decide, and no one will believe me at all.
"I know you want to say that you have never reported the bullying you have been subjected to in the academy, and you have never reported that your classmates have answers to test questions." Su Man looked at Lu Ziming, who was so aggrieved and forbearing, and said the words for him.
Hearing this, Lu Ziming looked at Su Man with a surprised expression and said, "Do you believe me?" After saying that, he laughed to himself, what was he expecting?
"I Believe in You"
It was just three short words that made the originally proud and stubborn boy's eyes moisten, and he couldn't hold back his tears. This straw bag is really annoying, is this how she bought the students in the school? It's so annoying.
Feeling Lu Ziming's emotional changes, Su Man didn't continue to speak, pretending to look at the scenery outside the carriage. After all, it doesn't matter how calm a child behaves on his face, he actually still cares, and he also wants to be trusted and accepted.
When she arrived at the door of the school, Su Man got out of the carriage first, and she said to the people in the car, "You don't have to worry too much, today I am apologizing to you for my past self and justifying your name, I just do what I should do, not to give you help you, understand?"
"Hmm" Lu Ziming in the car also adjusted his mood, and got out of the car after trimming his appearance.
When they arrived at the school, most of the students were already seated, waiting for the master to come and take lessons. It's just that Master Shen is also rarely late today, and everyone began to chat in twos and threes.
At this time, Su Man got up and walked to the podium, and said to the people in the school: "The master is not here today, why don't you let me teach you a lesson."
"Suman, what class are you going to take? Your academic performance is the last in the school," said the classroom, and there was a burst of laughter.
"You're right, classmate Fang Zijian, of course I can't teach knowledge, what I teach today is the philosophy of life" Su Man replied with a smile, not angry at all because the other party laughed at her poor grades.
"Philosophy of life?"
"That's right, philosophy of life" Su Man nodded and said, "Our age is the time when the outlook on life, values, and worldview is formed, and learning to be a person is more important than learning knowledge at this time."
At this time, in the dungeon of a house on the western outskirts of the capital, it was dim and damp, and there were rats crawling on the ground covered with straw mats.
In the darkness of the dungeon, someone leaned against the wall in rags, and when he looked closely, he was gone. His body was scarred by whipping the floor, his face was covered by long hair, and his face was completely unclear, but those unwavering eyes seemed to be his unwillingness to give up his faith.
The guard of the dungeon drank wine and plucked peanuts and said, "This guy is really hard-mouthed, and he has been locked up here for a year." ”
"yes, it's been so long," said another man, taking a bowl of wine, "his neighbors have changed no less than ten people, his mouth is so hard."
"What do you think the master wants from his mouth?"
"You care so much, we should know that we need to know, and don't ask what we shouldn't know," the man threw the peanut kernels into his mouth, "anyway, which of the prisoners who entered this dungeon didn't confess in the end"
Outside the dungeon, it began to rain heavily, sweeping away the sweltering air. Rainwater seeped into the dungeon, and it began to accumulate on the ground, and the prisoner was soaked in sewage, and his eyes looked at the gate where the guards had left, and a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the dungeon, which was full of torture, a complete hell on earth.
Outside the school, there was wind and rain, thunder and lightning, where were all the students in the classroom listening to Su Man talking about the truth of how to behave in the world. The contrast between the straw bales that usually giggle and laugh suddenly became so serious that it made people scratch their heads for a while.
"Do you understand what I told you today, do unto others as you would have them do unto you?"
"Xiaoman, what's wrong with you?" Song Ci looked at her with some puzzlement, because the other party was too serious and made her feel too strange.
"I didn't do much, Xiaoci, I just want everyone to know that the school rules of our White Deer Academy respect teachers, unity and friendship, and school bullying should not appear in our yellow class. And there is experimental data that proves that all school bullying bullies end up being mixed up. Su Man looked at Fang Zijian and Huang Hongxuan, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Su Man, what do you mean" Huang Hongxuan jumped up, he glanced at Lu Ziming and said, "Oh~ I know, it's Lu Ziming's reporting dog who sued, right, are you going to stand up for him!" ”
Hearing this, Fang Zijian also jumped up and said, "Su Man, we are standing out for you, don't stand in the wrong line."
"What's going on?" the children in the classroom heard in the rain, they didn't know what was going on.
Su Man briefly told the story again, and the classmates all looked at Fang Zijian and Huang Hongxuan with strange eyes, although everyone excluded Lu Ziming, but it was just verbal or some pranks, beating people half to death, and still ignoring them in the alley, they still never thought about it. This nature is different.
"Don't use the banner of seeking justice for me," Su Man sneered and said, "If you really seek justice for me, it shouldn't be Lu Ziming who is beaten, but Shen Fuzi"
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar.
"Actually, what you want to fight is Master Shen, isn't it" Su Man looked at Fang Zijian so straight and mocked, "You don't dare to fight Master, you can only vent your dissatisfaction to your classmates, don't you feel ashamed of such behavior." Bullying the weak and fearing the hard, do you still think you are very righteous? ”
"Shouldn't he be beaten? It's just a reporting dog," Fang Zijian replied a little weakly.
"Hehe, you keep calling him a report dog, may I ask what kind of little report he made? As for how you usually exclude him, he just needs to say to the master, with Master Shen's temperament, do you think you can live in peace until now?
Speaking of the test questions, have any of you heard him report it to the Master? Just because he was close to his master, he charged him with a crime, and there was no excuse for the crime he wanted. ”
Everyone was silent, in fact, everyone was not sure that Lu Ziming reported them, but after so long, everyone was talking about him, and he didn't explain, but at that time, everyone was punished by the master just to find an outlet, and it just so happened that this cold scholar bore the brunt.
"Are you a righteous teacher now?" Huang Hongxuan looked at Su Man and smiled contemptuously, "Didn't you think he was a reporting dog at the beginning?" Now pretend to be just. Besides, I didn't steal the test questions at all, it was obviously that Master Shen drank wine on the boat that day and bragged to others that he leaked the questions and was heard by me. I said that the master doesn't believe it, so I like to listen to the villain", he looked at Lu Ziming's eyes very unkindly.
To be honest, Lu Ziming didn't believe that he overheard the content of the test questions, in fact, most of the classmates didn't believe it either, but they all took Huang Hongxuan's test answers, and they were originally people on the same boat, and it doesn't matter if the test questions were stolen or not.
"Great, everybody's talking, right? I'll tell you today that I don't represent any righteous teacher, I'm also a person who makes mistakes, but I have the courage to admit my mistakes, and today I just want to set things right" Su Man suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Come in."
At this time, the guards of the General's Mansion pulled a few people in, and they saw that Master Shen was gagged and tied, and a few people on the side looked like ordinary vendors. They don't quite understand what this Su Man is going to do.
Later, everyone learned that these vendors were the ones who could prove that Shen Fuzi said the test questions after drinking, and this old master liked to discuss academics after drinking, but most of them didn't remember what they talked about before they woke up. And Shen Fuzi also made it clear that it was not Lu Ziming who told the truth, but that this group of children took the answer too obviously.
People always treat others with their own hearts, but they don't communicate and don't understand, resulting in the relationship between each other gradually drifting apart. Now that the misunderstanding between them has been resolved, they may not be able to accept each other so quickly, but at least they are no longer in a state of opposition.
