Volume 1 East Facing the People's School Chapter 22 Catching the Thief
After the April exam, the school's martial arts class began to teach in batches, and the students who got the top eight in the April exam were naturally the objects of key teaching, and they were personally instructed by Lian Fuzi and Li Dongxing, in order for Donglinmin School to get back the first place in the June exam, the intensity of training was very different from the past, and Dugu Nirvana was naturally happy to see this. I also secretly made up my mind about the June exam, although I didn't dare to think about the first, but if I was fully prepared, maybe I could get the first place in the third year?
A few days later, April 14, this day was Dugu Nirvana's birthday. In the morning, in addition to porridge and steamed pickles, I also ate a white water egg. When he went out, Bai Ming gave Dugu Nie another 100 yuan, asking him to buy some delicious food after school to satisfy his hunger, and not to tell his mother in the future, so as not to be scolded. Dugu Ni knows that since he was a child, his father and mother have said that they should cultivate their quality of diligence and thrift, and they have food at home, and eating indiscriminately hurts their bodies, and their mother is also extremely thrifty, and every time their father drinks, he has to scold a few words.
Every time Dugu Ni saw the sugar shop near her home, she could only swallow silently. I still remember that on my sixth birthday, neither my father nor my mother reprimanded me. Mother also boiled a white water egg for herself, saying that she should eat an egg on her birthday, and it will pass after a roll, Dugu Nirvana doesn't understand what it means, but she is still very happy.
A few days later, he went to the third uncle's house to play with Duguli, and when he left, the third uncle also gave Dugu Nie a hundred yuan and asked him to buy some fruit and take it home to eat with his father. That was the first time he made money, Dugu Ni saw a vendor selling strawberries, so he bought three for a hundred yuan, and he was greedy and didn't dare to eat alone along the way. took it home, but his father laughed at him, and he came back after eating on the road alone, and lied that he only bought three, let Dugu Ni eat it himself. Dugu Nie no longer remembers the taste of those three strawberries, only remembers that the feeling of being wronged turned out to be so aggrieved. There is also the peddler who wronged himself, Dugu Nirvana can't remember what he looks like.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but miss his father and mother a little again, although his father and mother were strict, but it was all for his own good, and he didn't know how much trouble his father and mother had caused this trouble.
Now he knew that for 100 yuan, he could buy a pound of strawberries, or five bowls of beef noodles, or ten baked cakes! He had to think carefully about how to use it, and whether he should also buy a little for Xiao Lan, and he was full of spirits.
After school, Dugu Ni ran all the way on the official road, and when he arrived at Xihua Street, he slowed down.
On Xihua Street, there are those who sell sugar gourds, melon seeds and peanuts, sugar sellers, roasted cakes, and dried fruits. Dugu Ni didn't buy any of them, with the money in his hand, he felt that he could buy them at any time. But when his eyes fell on the three beggars crouching in the corner, he hesitated and walked over.
The three beggars were old grandfathers, their clothes were ragged, their gray hair was not tied, and their dirty faces were covered in a mess, and they sat there quietly, each with a bowl in front of them, and it was empty. They didn't shout, as if they didn't even have the strength to shout.
Dugu Ni took out the copper coins strung on the fishing rope, counted ten out, put them in the first beggar bowl, and prepared to come out with dozens more, and when they were put into the second bowl, suddenly a figure bumped over, grabbed the money in Dugu Nie's hand, and ran away.
A few copper coins fell to the ground, Dugu Ni was stunned for a moment, and when he turned his head, it was a boy who was a head taller than him, wearing a dark blue power suit, and his hair was half draped and half bunched, obviously dressed as a person in the rivers and lakes. At the corner of the street in the direction he was running, a few children who were shorter than him were looking this way.
Dugu Nirvana came back to his senses, chased after him, and grabbed the clothes of the man's vest. The man turned around and threw a fist, turning his head with a fierce look on his face. Dugu Nie grabbed his wrist and twisted it, pressing it to the ground. The other four children had already rushed over. "Let go of my big brother!" a boy about the same height as Dugu Nirvana yelled at Dugu Nirvana. There were many people on the street, watching from afar.
Dugu Ni looked at this group of children, not like a poor family who had no food and didn't know where they were.
The boy knew that he couldn't fight Dugu Nirvana, so he yelled: "Let go, pay you back!" Throwing the money in his hand on the ground, Dugu Ni let go of the man's hand, picked up the small hanging coin, and put the spilled copper coin back. The four children ran away, and the taller boy, who had been knocked down earlier, turned around and shouted, "Wait for me!"
Dugu Nirvana collected the money and chased after him, he didn't like the feeling of being threatened and remembered.
"Stop!" When the five children ran to the west pontoon, Dugu Nie jumped in front of them, and several children stopped in fright.
"You robbed me of my money, and you want me to wait, what are you waiting for?" Dugu Ni asked as he glared at the tall man.
The boy glanced at Dugu Nirvana and said, "You just hit me, of course I want you to wait!"
Dugu Nirvana said angrily: "I just caught you, where did I beat you?"
"You're just beating me, do you know who we are?"
"I don't know!" Dugu Nie replied coldly.
"Don't know?" the boy laughed, "I don't know, you'll find out someday." ”
Dugu Nie was resentful in his heart, so he said: "Then you can't run, follow me to the Governor's Division!"
When the man heard this, he was shocked, "What kind of overseer are you going, and what proof do you have?"
Dugu Nie saw that some people around him were watching, so he said loudly: "You are a thief, everyone has seen it!" It didn't matter what he said, and the people around him immediately turned their heads and went their own ways.
The boy laughed, "Stunned!" and turned to leave. Dugu Nie didn't even know what to do for a while, and watched them leave.
Dugu Ni was stunned for a while, looked at the townspeople who were doing nothing, and ran to an uncle, and he saw that this uncle was looking at them just now. Then he asked, "Uncle, why are you pretending not to see it?"
The uncle glanced at the backs of the children and whispered: "Haven't you heard that you are not afraid of thieves stealing, but you are afraid of thieves?
Hearing this, how similar it was to his parents' usual teachings, Dugu Nirvana was helpless and said, "Thank you, uncle, I know." And he walked away.
Dugu Nirvana did not perform light exercises, but walked slowly, thinking as he went, why are the bad guys so domineering? Why is it that he has a certain amount of strength, but he still has no choice in the face of the threat of such a person? What are he afraid of? The teachings on "bravery" that he learned in the school, his understanding of the artistic conception of Yongwuquan, and everything he knows in his mind seem to be unable to give him an answer.
Dugu Ni walked to the three beggars, and saw that they were still the same as at the beginning, as if nothing could alarm them, Dugu Ni suddenly felt sour, and didn't know what to think, put all the money in their bowls, and then suddenly walked slowly towards the house as if they were relaxed.
Bai Ming waited until Dugu Nie arrived home today, and then cooked two bowls of pork liver noodles, and there were fried bloody vegetables in them, which Dugu Nie liked very much. When eating noodles, Bai Ming asked Dugu Nirvana: "Did you buy anything delicious today?"
Dugu Ni said: "I gave the money to the three old grandfathers!"
Bai Ming was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Well done, this is your own charity!
Dugu Nie smiled happily, she originally wanted to ask Aunt Jiu those questions that she hadn't come up with answers, but at this time, it didn't seem to matter. After eating noodles, Bai Ming returned to the room and took out a set of strong clothes, black pants, the clothes were mainly black, but there were some white hairs on the collar, some dark gold was outlined at the waist, and the belt was red. There is also a pair of gray leather platform boots, which at first glance, you know that they are very durable.
Bai Ming said: "The clothes were given to you by Aunt Jiu, and the shoes were bought for you by your mother." ”
Dugu Ni stepped forward, touched two things lovingly, and cried happily.
"Silly boy, don't cry, when you grow up, don't cry all the time, or people will laugh at you as a girl! Put away your things and put on new clothes and shoes to go to school tomorrow." ”
"Hmm!" Dugu Nie nodded a few times, wiped away his tears, and said, "Thank you, Aunt Jiu!"
The next day, when Dugu Nirvana changed into new clothes, she felt as if she had changed into a different person. Before taking the "Count" class, when Xiao Lan saw Dugu Nirvana, she was also surprised and said: "Xiao Nirvana can actually dress up!" Zhang Tao also quipped: "Nirvana madman is going to change sex!"
Dugu Ni was so ashamed that she didn't know what to say, Xiao Lan smiled: "Be confident!"
Dugu Ni still remembered what Xiao Lan said yesterday, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "You said yesterday that Fang Wutong said that I am a good person, what happened?"
Xiao Lan smiled, stretched her voice "oh", and said mysteriously: "That's it, you're so curious, you can ask her!"
Dugu Nie shook his head, turned around and looked at Fang Wutong, for so long, the two of them had not looked at each other, and this look, Fang Wutong was still buried in Wen Shu, Dugu Nie was a little scared, so he turned back again. Since the last time the group of people in Xiaolin Shenhai were frightened crazy, they had never heard that Bu Yue was still provoking Fang Wutong, and he was ashamed to protect others, and it seemed that others didn't need it at all.
Dugu Ni was in a very good mood today, and he answered Li Xiao in class, and after seeing Li Xiao nodding to himself frequently, Dugu Ni was full of joy.
At the end of class, Master Li Xiao found Dugu Nirvana and said that he should not leave in a hurry after school, go to his house to find him, and there are some things to talk about.
With apprehension and expectation in his heart, Dugu Ni listened to Master Tang Xiaoyun's "Knowledge" class, and finished Master Yang Huai's "Martial Arts" class in the afternoon, and hurriedly ran to the place where Master Li Xiao said.
The place where Master Li Xiao lived was a large wooden house, with several bookshelves placed side by side, and books were piled up on it.
"Sit!" Li Xiao pointed to the stool next to his bookcase, which was obviously prepared for him. Dugu Ni sat down obediently and asked, "Master, what are you looking for me?"
Li Xiao said straight to the point: "I know that you have a lot of secrets!"
Dugu Nie was a little surprised, and thought that during the April exam, he was assessed by Master Li Xiao's internal strength, and he was a little determined, since the master had seen it, he should not deliberately hide it, although Master Li Xiao was usually strict, but he was also very good to himself, every time he asked for advice with unclear questions after class, Master Li Xiao was very patient.
