Chapter 114: Self-improvement
Many things in the world always happen unexpectedly, and Da Kui originally wanted to make Yang Xiaohu suffer some setbacks. After all, it is not a good thing to be a man who is always smooth sailing, who knows that people have love but have no intention, a sudden dysentery made Yang Xiaohu suffer.
Zhang Fu invited Lang Zhong to see the two sons overnight, but who knew that the medicine was also taken and pricked, and Yang Xiaohu and Panbu were still in a big diarrhea. Lang Zhong only said that he would wait until tomorrow when the power of the medicine was revealed, and everyone had no other way.
Throughout the night, Yang Xiaohu went back and forth between the bedroom and the latrine, and had to hold on to the wall several times to walk. As the folk saying goes: A good man can't hold three bubbles of, although the words are coarse, but there is a lot of truth. After all, people's physical strength is limited, and the tired body and dysentery have made Yang Xiaohu unable to bear it anymore and fell ill.
On the second day, Meng Ge went to visit Yang Xiaohu in his room, only to see that Yang Xiaohu's eyes were deeply sunken overnight, and his illness was like a withered tree. Lying on the bed at the moment, he didn't even have the strength to speak.
"Xiaohu, what do you think?" Meng Ge asked with concern in the first sentence after entering the door.
"Meng... Uncle, I... I... Never eat again... Crabs!" Yang Xiaohu took a breath and asked, "Panbu... How's it going?" Although he was seriously ill, Yang Xiaohu was still worried about Panbu in his heart, after all, Panbu was suffering from dysentery like himself.
Meng Ge smiled: "He's the same as you, he can't get out of bed now." Meng Ge pondered for a moment and said, "I don't think about the martial arts competition, you are so sick that you can't take the exam." ”
When Yang Xiaohu heard the word martial arts, his eyes flashed with brilliance, and he encouraged: "Uncle Meng, I... I'm going... Participate in the joust!"
Meng Ge was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly dissuaded: "How can you compete with a body like you?"
Yang Xiaohu smiled bitterly: "Although I am sick, although I don't have much strength in my body, I can still fight hard, I can't disappoint my father-in-law, I will die in the ring." ”
Meng Ge was impressed when he heard this, and said with a straight face: "I used to see you smooth and smooth every day, but today I know that you are also a man." ”
Meng Ge looked at Yang Xiaohu for a long time before saying, "You rest for a while, I'll go and tell Master Zhang." After Meng Ge finished speaking, he got up and went out of the wing room and went to the back house, there were several courtyards between the back house and the front house, and when Meng Ge walked to the back house, it happened that Da Kui was also walking out.
Meng Ge greeted him and arched his hand: "Master Zhang, Xiaohu is seriously ill but is going to compete in martial arts, what do you think ......?"
Da Kui was shocked when he heard this: "I was about to go to see him, so let's go together." With that, Da Kui walked to the front yard first.
Yang Xiaohu saw Da Kui enter the door, and hurriedly struggled to get up, and Da Kui hurriedly came to the side of the bed to stop his movements. Then Da Kui said earnestly: "This competition is just the first test, I will talk to Lord Wang and ask him to leave a seat for you." You can recuperate at home and make other arrangements when I come back. ”
Yang Xiaohu couldn't help but ask, "Father-in-law is going out?"
Da Kui nodded and said: "In Yingtian, I used to meet with people to compete in the school field, and now that the date has arrived, I should go to the appointment for my father." ”
Yang Xiaohu was silent for a while before he said: "My father-in-law has been sick for a long time and wants to go to the appointment, so I should go to the martial arts competition." Yang Xiaohu's tone was resolute and unquestionable.
Da Kui smiled and said: "I went to Yingtian for my father to fulfill the promise, but what are you going to compete for?"
Yang Xiaohu gritted his teeth and said: "I, Yang Xiaohu, am not muddy, as long as I still have a breath, I will not admit defeat, let alone give up." After Yang Xiaohu finished speaking, there was a resolute look in his eyes.
Da Kui nodded and said: "As my father was born in Taoism, I remember that my senior brother once explained the Book of Changes to me, and the first sentence of the opening hexagram in the Book of Changes is: Tianxingjian, a gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement." Being a man should strive to be progressive, so as to live up to the water, since you have made up your mind, you and I will set off together!"
Yang Xiaohu gritted his teeth and sat up, holding on to the edge of the bed and standing up, although his legs were trembling, he still stood up and hugged his fists and said, "Obey my father's orders." ”
Da Kui instructed: "Take the medicine first and then go, I'll go and see Panbu, and then you and I will meet in the front hall." Yang Xiaohu once again clenched his fists and led the .......
Looking at the distant mountains and spring water, the smoke and rain are hazy. Although it is the morning of birds and birds, but from a distance, there are already three or two fishermen boating on the lake, so a spring scenery.
Da Kui and Yang Xiaohu walked side by side, followed by Meng Ge, Zhou Kai, and the four of them walked slowly.
Da Kui rode on a horse and said, "In the past, you were asked to practice with my iron spear in order to train your arm strength. Asking you to travel far away with a weight is to train your endurance, and now you are letting your father see that you have great ambitions. To tell the truth, I am deeply comforted by my father's heart. ”
Yang Xiaohu smiled and said: "I don't know how to win or lose this competition, although today is the second game, there are many strong players, I am really a little scared according to my current appearance, but my father-in-law can rest assured that I will go all out."
Da Kui looked at Yang Xiaohu and said: "Don't judge heroes by success or failure, as long as you do your best." As a father, I don't want you to do stupid things for the sake of a little fame, after all, you can stay in the green mountains without worrying about running out of firewood. ”
Yang Xiaohu said indifferently: "I will follow the teachings of my father-in-law." Having said that, Yang Xiaohu has another plan in his heart, he must do his best to win the ranking in this competition, and once he enters the top ten, he can go to Yingtian to participate in the examination, and he should become famous in one fell swoop with his own ability, and his fame in the world is just around the corner.
Da Kui saw Yang Xiaohu in a daze, and couldn't help asking, "Xiaohu, don't be duplicitous." Remember what your father says, and when your father returns, you will talk to you about the benefits and the stakes. ”
Yang Xiaohu couldn't help asking: "The child doesn't understand what the righteous father said, so it's better to tell me now." ”
Da Kui said earnestly: "The level of martial arts is not fame, everyone in the world is fame and fortune, you must know that in this way, you must not concentrate on martial arts but will be involved." As a father, he also made a name for himself, but in the end, he is not like a flower in the mirror?"
Yang Xiaohu pursed his lips and said: "It's the flower in the mirror, after all, my father-in-law has experienced it, but I haven't." ”
Yang Xiaohu went out of the door, and it was very reluctant to say these words, but at this moment, he was already sweating on his forehead. Da Kui saw that he was a little unbearable in his heart, and immediately turned his head to Meng Ge and said: "Xiaohu is weak, if he doesn't support it during the competition, tell him not to be strong." When Meng Ge heard this, he immediately surrendered his order.
Everyone walked forward again, Da Kui looked at the sky and said: "There is another hour before the competition will start, everyone must hurry to Longping Mansion and drive!" As soon as the words fell, Da Kui rode forward first, and Yang Xiaohu and Meng Ge drove off their horses and followed closely.
The four of them rode all the way to the east, passing through Longping Mansion.
