Chapter 16: Sharpening the Iron Pestle into a Needle (I)

Yang Tong and the little boy started fighting crickets with a small jar in the middle of the mountain forest.

One of the two crickets was called a mighty general by the little boy, and the other was the one led by Yang Tong, called the bard.

After a few rounds of fighting, Yang Tong showed a dissatisfied look on his face.

Because it has always been the mighty general who wins, the bard can't beat the mighty general at all.

As if seeing Yang Tong's dissatisfaction, the little boy spoke; "Otherwise, let's change one, but if you lose this time, don't think it's a problem with crickets."

Yang Tong naturally agreed, he originally thought that the mighty general was very powerful just by hearing the name.

But when Yang Tong got the mighty general, he was still defeated by the little boy's bard, Yang Tong was not convinced, he was beaten by the bard by the mighty general, and was beaten by the bard with the mighty general, is he really not suitable for fighting crickets?

The little boy smiled and said, "Isn't it strange why are there two crickets that are the same and your crickets always can't beat my crickets?" ”

Yang Tong nodded and responded: "It's really strange, it's obviously the same as you!" It's all about poking them with dog tail grass, why can your crickets always beat my crickets. ”

The boy explained, "I'll tell you, even if it's two identical crickets, it depends on who is controlling them. As soon as I saw you, you hadn't fought crickets, and you didn't even know how to cheer crickets, and it would definitely not contribute. ”

Yang Tong was a little puzzled, the crickets still have to cheer for the crickets, this is too outrageous!

The little boy looked at Yang Tong and asked, "Don't you believe it?" ”

Yang Tong replied: "This cricket can't understand human speech, how can you cheer it?" ”

The little boy said twice, "Look, I poke its head and whiskers with the dog's tail grass, and then shout to it to cheer it up, and it will rush up and hit your crickets." You say it doesn't understand, but how do you know it doesn't? ”

Yang Tong couldn't refute this sentence for a while, indeed, how do I know that it doesn't understand?

I'm not it, I don't know what it's thinking.

Just like dogs and cats, they can understand human speech, so why can't crickets?

When the two were about to get up, Yang Tong heard Yang Xin's voice calling out to him.

Yang Tong stood up instantly and responded, "I'm here!" ”

The little boy instantly pulled Yang Tong back and said, "Don't be so loud, if the teacher of the academy hears it, I will definitely be punished for copying the text a hundred times." ”

"You have to copy the text too!" Yang Tong looked at this boy as old as himself in surprise.

The boy didn't answer, because he saw Yang Xin arrive.

He asked curiously, "Is this your sister?" ”

Yang Xin looked around at the moment, but she didn't even notice her brother, and a strange expression appeared on her face.

Yang Tong got up and walked out from behind the stone with the little boy, and shouted to Yang Xin, "Sister, I'm here." ”

After Yang Xin walked over, he tilted his head and asked, "Who is this?" ”

Yang Tong was speechless for a while, he didn't know the name of this little boy until now, and he had been playing with him for a long time.

The little boy looked at Yang Xin and asked, "Don't you also like to go to school and escape from the academy?" ”

Yang Xin shook his head and replied: "I love school too much, and the classmates in the school are good, and I "knock" on the teacher's class. ”

The little boy looked at Yang Tong, and he felt that he didn't understand too much.

Why does she skip school if she likes to go to school?

Yang Xin also asked, "By the way, who are you?" ”

The little boy replied, "My name is Li Bai!" ”

Yang Tong and Yang Xin both showed surprised looks, Li Bai?

The two children glanced at each other, was it the noon of the hoe day, phew, was it Li Bai who was in the bright moonlight in front of the bed?

Yang Tong was not only surprised, but also curious, so he asked, "Li Bai, your classmates said you were stupid, so you don't want to study?" ”

Li Bai sat on the stone and replied, "Half and half, I just think reading is too boring, I want to do my own thing." ”

Yang Tong asked curiously: "Do you mean fighting crickets when you do your own thing?" ”

Li Bai glanced at Yang Tong and replied: "Naturally not, I want to go to Chang'an, I want to see the outside world." ”

Yang Tong approached Yang Xin and asked cautiously: "I said sister, you said that if Li Bai stopped studying, did he think he would become the kind of world-famous poet?" ”

Yang Xin hummed for a long time before replying: "If he doesn't read, will he stop writing poems in the future, that's great, and I won't have to memorize poems anymore when I go back." ”

Sure enough, Yang Xin is still the same Yang Xin, and his ideas are as wild.

If Li Bai stopped composing poetry, would the world have changed, and he would not be able to go back?

But Li Bai is the same as himself, he hates to study, how did he become that kind of world-famous great poet?

I don't like to go to school now, if Li Bai has a way to like learning and follow his method, can he become a great poet?

Yang Tong's eyes lit up when he thought of this.

After all, Li Bai is teacher and classmates say that he is stupid, he can become a great poet in the future, and he is the only one who says that Yang Xin is stupid, which shows that he is smarter than Li Bai!

Thinking of this, Yang Tong suddenly giggled.

Li Bai looked at Yang Xin and asked, "Why did your brother suddenly keep laughing!" ”

Yang Xin spread his hands and said that he didn't know, but his brother wasn't like this before, so he was really getting more and more stupid.

Then I won't say that he is stupid in the future, otherwise the more I talk about it, the more stupid I become.

Yang Tong suddenly stopped laughing, and when he saw that both of them were looking at him, he asked, "Li Bai, what are you going to do next?" ”

Li Bai thought for a moment and replied, "I have to go home first now and ask my mother's permission." If she agrees, I'll go straight to Chang'an. ”

Yang Tong immediately said, "Then I'll go with you." ”

Yang Xin immediately spoke: "I'm going too!" ”

Li Bai glanced at Yang Tong and Yang Xin and nodded.

Yang Tong and Yang Xin walked behind Li Bai, Yang Tong suddenly remembered something, and whispered: "He told me before that he didn't like to read because the teacher and classmates said he was stupid, but I clearly remember that the teacher introduced Li Bai in the previous class, saying that he was extremely smart when he was a child!" Do you think he's absolutely smart, or is it true, as he says, that he doesn't want to read because he's stupid? ”

Yang Xin pondered for a moment, looked at his brother seriously, and replied, "I think he may dislike his classmates for being stupid and don't want to study." ”

Yang Tong snorted strangely?

Yang Xin explained: "Just like me, I think my classmates are too stupid, so I don't like to play with them. ”
