Chapter 2 Ten Steps to Kill a Man
It was a good thing for me to be able to study at Bailu Academy, and after thinking about it, I decided to go.
The benefits are threefold.
First, I don't have a prominent family background, and I don't want to be a peasant woman all the time in the future, only reading can give me more knowledge.
Second, it is appreciated by the master, which can pave the way for the next step in the future.
Third, there are a lot of rich and noble children here, so I can get to know more people.
But my father may not agree, I originally didn't expect my father to let me study, I only begged my mother to get my father's consent, although my father's temper is not very good, but I can see that he still loves his mother very much.
So I went home that day, thought of a lot of rhetoric, and ran to my mother first.
I brought the freshly made rice cereal and a cooking cake to feed my mother. Niang's face is very haggard, but it can be seen that her clear eyebrows and eyes show that Niang is also a very beautiful person.
"Mother, how do you feel today?"
"Brother, I'm fine, but I've worked hard for you."
"Mother, when I went to chop wood today, I passed by Bailu Academy and met Master Li, and he praised me. Mother, the master said that I should go to the academy to audit. ”
My mother was not as happy as I expected, but coughed lightly.
"No, brother, men and women can't sit at the same table, not to mention that you haven't read a word since you were a child, and those children are either rich or noble, and you and they must not be able to study together. Mother doesn't ask you to take the top prize, you just need to be safe and simple. ”
"Mother, I want to go. My brother doesn't want to be Mr. White! I tugged at my mother's sleeve and begged.
She brushed off my hand and looked angry, "Mother doesn't agree!" ”
"Fu'er, let her go!"
I heard my father's voice, and I was a little surprised, it was not my mother who promised me today, but my father.
"My brother has her own way, even if she can't help her, she doesn't have to hinder her."
I was looking down on my father.
I've always thought my dad was a drinker. Unexpectedly, my father's words today made me surprised and suspicious. I don't think my dad is as simple as it seems, although I can't tell why, but I have a hunch that my father, who recruits my brother, must be a very powerful person.
In this way, I got my wish and went to Bailu Academy to audit.
Of course, my father's requirements for me have not been alleviated since then, I went from going up the mountain to chopping firewood to helping my mother embroider some things to sell in the market, so that I don't have to chop wood during the day but can study in the academy, and at night I can also help my mother do some work to subsidize the family.
Li Hengzhi is indeed a very good master, he will not look down on or despise anyone because of his status, nor will he please any student because of his stupidity and intelligence. He knows how to teach students more than any teacher I have come into contact with in modern times.
Since the first time I showed that I was more intelligent than that of children of the same age, I have avoided the edge for the time being, and only occasionally put forward my own opinions, because of the advantages of the view of the times and history, I have always won the praise of my master, and because I do not want to be in the limelight, I have also won a lot of friendships.
Of course, this includes Xie Muyi. But he was always a proud child, and he was also appreciated by his master.
I cherish the opportunity to study, and I write silently every night, but the most important thing is to practice calligraphy.
For me, although the content of the book is good, it is not as good as Li Bai, Su Dongpo, Wang Anshi and Qu Yuan that I have read in modern times, nor is it as good as many, many ancient celebrities. My handwriting is modern, and I can't adapt to the first time I learned to write here, but I understand that if I can't write beautiful handwriting, I won't get the respect of others.
And so the days passed. Xie Muyi and I have also gotten to know each other better.
I know that he is the child of a large family, and his mother is very beautiful and kind.
He knew that my family was poor, so he often brought some gadgets over and said, this is his maid's, the maid doesn't like it, he gives it to me, it's not a very expensive jewelry, but for me, it can also be used as some silver to buy medicine and food for my mother, and buy wine for my father.
Although I understand the truth of not eating the food that comes from me, but for the sake of livelihood, I also accepted it, it's a big deal, and I will pay him back in the future.
After Mu Xia and I went to school that day, he really wanted to see what it was like on the mountain, Bailu Academy has always been located at the foot of the mountain, and his servants are always waiting for him outside the academy. I was always safe going up the mountain, so I agreed to sneak him out.
Along the way, he was delighted. There are more words than usual, and the children of large families are really pitiful, and they don't have the opportunity to go out and play alone.
In the midst of our laughter, I never realized that there would be crises in the mountains, which are usually safe, that I could not imagine.
Just halfway up the mountain, the two of us heard the sound of the killing in front of us, and we got closer and closer, and we looked at each other, realizing the danger, but because he was thin and couldn't run fast, he took my hand and hid behind a big thick tree.
I saw a young boy facing several black-clothed killers, and his chest was already dyed red.
He faced the killing moves of the man in black who were pressing step by step, but he was also in danger, and every move was very orderly.
"Son, today is your death. Outnumbered, it's better for you to admit defeat obediently and give us something. Perhaps, our brother can make your death more painful. ”
"Really?" The man called Shizi smiled: "Then it depends on whether you have the ability to take it!" ”
In my last life, I saw a lot of martial arts scenes on TV, and the real one was the first time I saw it, and I was not excited and excited, but unprecedented fear and fear. Because these people are clearly fighting for their lives.
I don't know how long the fight has been, but the man in black is still inferior, and there is only one left.
The man slashed his throat with a sword.
I breathed a sigh of relief, maybe it was too heavy, or maybe the young man could hear the small voice.
I could only hear him approaching the place where we were hiding step by step, and when he was about to be discovered, Xie Muyi jumped out at once.
"It turned out to be just a teenager, but today you saw my face, although I don't kill innocent people, but this matter involves a lot, so I can't keep you!"
I'm anxious, is Xie Muyi trying to protect me? How could I let him do it alone, so I jumped out too.
In front of him was a very handsome face.
"You're Aunt Fu...... Or, Yao'er? ”
Shizi looked at me in amazement. Before he came over to take a closer look, he saw another group of people coming behind him.
But it is also an opportunity, a chance to escape.
So I took advantage of the chaos to pull Xie Muyi and ran for a long distance, until I reached the White Deer Academy, and when I saw those anxious servants, my heart settled down a little.
I watched the servants send the frightened Xie Muyi back, and my heart palpitated.
Today, I don't know why this group of black-clothed people assassinated that son, and I don't know what the identity of that son is, why did he say to me that Aunt Fu or Yao'er, I'm not stupid, I won't believe that the son of the world recognized the wrong person.
And coincidentally, my name in my previous life was Song Yao, and my current mother happened to be called Fu'er by my father.
