Chapter 65: The First Lesson
Chapter 65 First Lesson
Taking a deep breath, Xu Mengmeng raised his free right hand and tapped on the door, and soon there were footsteps approaching the door.
"An Qingyuan?" The door opened, looking at the slender figure in a light gray Wenshi robe inside the door, Xu Mengmeng's eyes flashed with surprise slightly, not for anything else, the temperament of this person is too similar to that sick prince who was abolished.
"I am, may I ask who you are?" An Qingyuan inside the door nodded, looking at Xu Mengmeng outside the door suspiciously.
It's weird, I don't know if I met Ma Yuchuan and other hypocritical people today, so that she was prejudiced when she looked at these gentlemen, obviously the young man in front of her was handsome and elegant, but Xu Mengmeng always felt that there was a gloomy aura around him, which made her subconsciously reluctant to approach, so she chose to lie.
She stood there and bowed like those students, handed over the string of paper bags she was carrying, and said humbly and gently:
"Oh, I'm Lord Lin's cousin Bai Ning, my home is in a foreign country, I only came to the capital for the spring of February, I went to visit my cousin's house two days ago, and I heard him say that Brother Qingyuan's talent and learning are far better than mine, and I took the liberty to bring gifts to disturb me today, and I want to borrow a few articles from Brother Qingyuan to go home to study, I don't know if Brother Tai is convenient?"
An Qingyuan didn't answer her immediately, nor did he take the gift from her hand, but just looked at her lightly a few times, and finally lowered his eyelids, put away the dark light in his eyes, and politely and gently invited her into the house.
Seeing this, Xu Mengmeng, who was walking behind him, breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, he heard that his family was not good, and he felt that it was not good to come to the door empty-handed during the New Year, so he bought two packs of dim sum and a bag of tea after leaving the teahouse.
An Qingyuan's house is not big, a living room and a bedroom, adding up to more than ten square meters, and the house is old and dilapidated, but it is very clean and tidy, which makes Xu Mengmeng have a good impression of it.
It can be seen that An Qingyuan is not a person who does not like to talk, and after beckoning Xu Mengmeng to sit down, he entered the bedroom, and when he came out again, he held a few pieces of yellow paper full of words in his hand.
Yes, it is yellow paper, which is the cheapest on the market at present, the kind used to burn, if an ordinary man encounters Ning Qingyuan's situation, most of them will blush and be embarrassed, but he doesn't, not only is his face very ordinary, but there is no shame in his eyes, but he is dyed with a faint coldness, which is very interesting!
"Thank you Brother An, it's getting late, Bai won't disturb Brother Tai to rest!" Xu Mengmeng took the stack of papers with joy on her face and got up to say goodbye.
"Hmm," An Qingyuan nodded and watched him leave.
Far away from An Qingyuan's courtyard gate, Xu Mengmeng couldn't help but look back at the small house, in the darkness it was like a devouring beast rushing towards her, which made her violently shake her spirit, but when she reacted and looked closely, she didn't feel this way.
Weird! Could it be that I've been too tired lately and have hallucinations? Xu Mengmeng shook his head and walked forward.
"Lixing, you have always been very accurate in reading people, look at this word, what kind of person do you think the person who wrote it should be?" As soon as he returned home, Xu Mengmeng began to study the few pieces of paper he got back from An Qingyuan.
"Dense and well-written, the font is rounded, the handwriting is soft, and the person who writes should be rigorous and gentle and humble!"
"It's true that his words give people a very gentle feeling, and he was quite polite to himself just now, but why do I always subconsciously turn on the disguise on my body when facing him? It's weird! Xu Mengmeng was puzzled.
"I know that Miss has something to hide from us, since Miss feels that she wants to be on guard when facing that person, then you should try to be more careful in front of him in the future!" Lixing whispered.
"Hmm" Xu Mengmeng nodded, taking his words to heart. Although An Qingyuan gave her a strange feeling, she couldn't find a better candidate at this time, so she could only take one step at a time.
At the end of the day, the men in the barracks were sleeping soundly, and suddenly there was a "bang", everyone was awakened, and looking at the dark sky outside, many people scolded directly.
Xu Mengmeng, who was dressed in a black suit, stood on the high platform on the training ground, quietly waiting for the arrival of the five thousand people, but what she didn't expect was that a quarter of an hour had passed, and there were very few soldiers who came to gather.
"Glimpse" Xu Mengmeng nodded at the glimpse, then looked at the soldiers coming below, and said coldly:
"Very well, the fact that you are standing here at this moment means that you have listened to what I said yesterday, and I am satisfied. But at the same time I'm disappointed in you, do you know why? ”
Looking at the faces that didn't know why, Xu Mengmeng continued to say loudly:
"I want to know, here, what are the people around you to you, are they opponents, are they enemies? No, it's not, they're your comrades-in-arms, they're brothers! But what did you do? You have only cared for yourselves in this battle, leaving your brothers behind, have you thought about their end? ”
Xu Mengmeng looked at their expressions and knew that there were very few people who listened to her words, but she was not in a hurry, because she believed that one day they would understand.
"General, everyone is here." By this time, the Glimpse had already brought everyone else over.
Xu Mengmeng walked up to those who were late, and his gaze swept over their faces that were either tired or nervous or nervous or curious or arrogant:
"First of all, I have some appreciation for your courage, for your courage to argue with me, and I remember making it very clear to you yesterday that you came here after hearing the first drums of the morning, did you do it?
No, since you didn't do it, then be prepared to be punished! As for you, just give me a good look and watch carefully! Xu Mengmeng said and pointed at the obedient people on the other side, and his tone was full of seriousness.
"Undress and go down!" She left the punishment to Glimpse, who took the whip and drove the more than 3,000 people out of the icy lake.
Half an hour of cold bathing was just the first appetizer, but in the cold and windy depths of winter, this appetizer almost killed them, and they all began to regret it incessantly.
But did the more than 1,000 people who watched from the shore feel better? No, they don't feel good, although those who are in the lake may not have a deep friendship with them, but after all, they also eat the same pot of rice every day, how can they really not be moved at all!
But the punishment did not stop there, and after the cold bath, they had to run around the barracks hungry, but this time five thousand people ran together, from morning to noon, and from noon to dusk.
Their steps were already heavy, but when they saw the first comrade lying down being pulled forward by Xu Mengmeng's whip, they could only grit their teeth and hold on.
At first, they all ran separately, a plate of loose sand, and then after the first person who took the initiative to reach out to help his comrades next to him appeared, more and more people's hands clasped together, and at the end, many people were red-eyed.
Some people are tired, some are afraid, and more are because they understand.
