Chapter 24: Hornets
And now, when he saw that many noble children had gathered and there was envy in his eyes, he felt that his plan was about to succeed.
Soon, people will forget about Li Changkong's poems.
And remember that he, Zhu Ben, is the man who raised the king of grasshoppers!
Especially when he saw Li Changkong also leaning over, the fluttering feeling in his heart instantly swelled.
Take a look, what about being able to write poetry?
Don't you look at my Grasshopper King's face the same?
"Zhu Ben, you spent a lot of money raising this grasshopper, right?"
When Zhu Ben heard this, he waved his hand and said, "Small money, small money." ”
"I have such a grasshopper at home!"
"If you want, give you one, it's okay!" As he spoke, Zhu Ben took his afterglow to glance at Li Changkong, and he hoped that this sentence came out of Li Changkong's mouth.
When it comes out of other people's mouths, it's a little bit of a mistake after all.
When the man heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "Then how can you be embarrassed?" Then I'll be disrespectful. ”
Zhu Ben: "??? ”
Do you want to listen to what you are talking about, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, as if he had never thought that there would be such a brazen person in the world.
However, in order to maintain face, he still just nodded and said generously: "It's easy to say." ”
"It's just a grasshopper, and it's not a big deal to me."
That being said, but what kind of gnats to send, it's not up to you to decide?
Even if you send it yourself, these people may not be able to find it.
If they really found out, they shirked it and said that they didn't know how to raise it, and the best grasshoppers actually gave them the appearance of being sick.
Zhu Ben couldn't help but nod secretly for his wit.
"Can you... Can you give me one too? Someone spoke again, but after all, not everyone had such a thick skin, and this person seemed a few points shy.
When Zhu Ben heard this, he immediately waved his hand and said boldly: "No problem!" When the time comes, you just have to come to my house to pick up the grasshoppers. ”
"I want it too!"
"Get me one too!"
"It's a rarity, and I'm a little interested."
Seeing that more and more people were opening, Zhu Ben became more and more excited, and an indescribable sense of vanity surged up from his chest and went straight to his mind, making him feel immortal.
It's just that his afterglow is still staring at Li Changkong, in the final analysis, what Zhu Ben hopes for the most is that Li Changkong begs him.
In this way, he can establish his position as the one who holds the bull's ear among the sons of the nobles!
After waiting for a long time, Li Changkong's lips opened slightly, as if he wanted to say something.
Zhu Ben was so excited that he immediately pricked up his ears to listen, for fear of missing a word and a half.
Without admitting it, what Li Changkong said when he opened his mouth was not to ask for a grasshopper, but: "What kind of ability is a fighting grasshopper?" ”
Hearing this slightly sarcastic words, Zhu Ben was a little angry at that time.
It's just that there are too many people on the scene, and it's not good to be too out of shape, so he asked: "What is the ability to fight?" ”
Li Changkong pursed his lips, pointed to the hornet's nest outside the sect house, and said, "Naturally, it's a hornet!" ”
"Even if you can fight again, can you fly? Can it sting? ”
"If you can raise a hornet and bring it to that bucket workshop, don't say that you have won fifteen consecutive victories, I'm afraid that it will be a hundred consecutive victories, it will not be a problem."
When Zhu Ben heard this, his anger actually dissipated a little.
Because he felt that what Li Changkong said actually made some sense.
It's the same bug, no matter how powerful the grasshopper is, it won't fly or sting!
If you can really raise a hornet, which grasshopper can beat this flying master?
When the time comes, won't you be invincible in that bucket?
Merely...
He looked at the hornet's nest and swallowed.
It is said that wasp stings hurt.
"You... It can't be scared, right? At this moment, Li Changkong's suspicious voice came from his side.
"If you're afraid, just say it, it's not a big deal, after all, it's a hornet, it's not a shame." Li Changkong continued to sigh with relief.
However, this relief fell in Zhu Ben's ears, but it was particularly harsh.
He felt that the eyes around him had changed after Li Changkong finished saying this!
is no longer with envy, but there is a slight meaning of "you are just like this" in it.
"How can this be true? Outrageous! Zhu Ben was extremely angry, blushing, and said, "How can I be afraid? How could I be afraid? ”
"Don't think that everyone is like you, the son of the dignified Marquis of Wuling, even the hornets are afraid."
When Li Changkong heard this, he seemed to be a little angry, and couldn't help but say: "That's a hornet, people are naturally afraid." ”
"If you're not afraid, you can catch it and keep it in a bamboo tube, and I'll ... I'm good at you! ”
As soon as the four words "you are powerful" came out, Zhu Ben seemed to have received some kind of great encouragement.
Immediately, he stood up in high spirits, strode out of the church, and shouted loudly as he walked: "Today, let you see what an iron-blooded man is!" ”
"I can only write a few poems, so I can't really do it!"
Looking at Zhu Ben, who was walking away as if he had made chicken soup, Li Changkong was also a little emotional.
In the eyes of the noble children, the words "count you as powerful" are great praise.
This is especially true when this phrase comes from the mouth of your nemesis. I am afraid of the power of the Holy Decree, and there is nothing more than this.
Zhu Ben went straight to the hornet's nest, and when he said it, he was fierce and fearless.
But when he came, he walked to the hornet's nest and looked at the sharp stingers on the tails of the hornets, but he was a little apprehensive.
In short, he coaxed.
He couldn't help but turn his head back to look, but saw that all the noble children were looking at him with blank eyes.
In that gaze, there is hope, expectation, and even, a little admiration.
There is also a wisp of smile on the corner of Li Changkong's mouth, which looks indescribably sarcastic.
If I had retreated, would not all that I had done today be useless?
Isn't it just as Li Changkong wished?
No, absolutely not!
For Zhu Ben, if those admiring eyes turn into contempt, it is something more uncomfortable than death, and something bigger than the sky falling!
So, he gritted his teeth, went to the hornet's nest, and pounced.
Seeing this, Li Changkong was already prepared, took out the sack coat, and put it on his body in an orderly manner.
Zhang Han and Jia Taisui on the side looked at him dumbfounded, always feeling that this person had premeditated and fooled Zhu Ben to poke the hornet's nest.
Now even the sack clothes have been pulled out, and it's really... Be prepared!
……
Hu Yan is very uncomfortable now, and I don't know if today's lunch is not very clean, after eating, he feels that his stomach is tumbling over the river and the sea, and he is extremely uncomfortable.
After enduring it for a long time, I finally found a latrine, and was squatting down, halfway through venting, but I heard a harsh buzzing sound.
I can't help but be a little surprised, why is this sound so similar to a hornet?
