Main Hall.

When Lin Ajiu came with Wuqiu, the scholar was really there.

Today's scholar brought two books, one is "Mirror Flowers" and the other is "Manipulation".

The scholar smiled: "There are two books here, I will tell you a story today, and I will start reading tomorrow." ”

When the scholar held up "Mirror Flowers", his face was full of tenderness and said: "This is "Mirror Flowers", which tells the story of the marriage of the three generations. ”

He picked up "Manipulation" again, deliberately glanced at Luo Wuqiu and Lin Ajiu, and said with a smile: "This "Manipulation" is about how to manipulate people's hearts and how to manipulate the world. ”

Lin Ajiu grabbed "Manipulation" without thinking about it, looked at the scholar happily and said, "Tell me about this, I like this." ”

Lin Ajiu flipped through the book in a novel way, although he couldn't understand the words, Lin Ajiu vowed in his heart from that moment on, he must learn to recognize words, and he must also learn this "manipulation technique".

Luo Wuqiu glanced at the scholar with some hesitation, and then took the book "Mirror Flowers" from the scholar's hand without saying a word.

The scholar said, "If you two want to learn to read and write, you can only come one by one, and one person will come every other day, who will come first?"

Luo Wuqiu glanced at Lin Ajiu, and then said, "Let's teach Ajiu first." ”

Lin Ajiu knew that he would let her, so he was not polite.

"Okay, then you can go back first. The scholar smiled, then made a gesture of please.

Lin Ajiu suddenly felt a modest and polite gentleness, which was a temperament that they did not have in Lin'an, and the scholar was like a beam of sunshine, warm and bright, shining in her heart.

For the first time, Lin Ajiu felt that the scholar with a huge body was so elegant, and he couldn't help but think: Is it the book that makes him so elegant? He is different from us, and I want to learn from him. One day, I will be like him, I will understand a lot, and then I can manipulate those who bully my Lin family!

Luo Wuqiu stood outside the bamboo fence and looked at Lin Ajiu and the scholar, unwilling to leave, he whispered: "I'll wait for Ajiu here, and we'll go home together after studying." ”

Lin Ajiu turned his head and glanced at him, and didn't care whether he was exposed to the sun or not, just looked at Luo Wuqiu silently.

Then the scholar said to Lin Ajiu: "Come into the house, the sun is big outside." ”

"Good. Lin Ajiu glanced at Luo Wuqiu, who was exposed to the scorching sun, and then followed the scholar into the house.

As soon as he entered the room, the scholar closed the door, turned to look at Lin Ajiu, and looked at Lin Ajiu for a while before asking, "Why do you want to learn the art of manipulating people's hearts?"

Lin Ajiu noticed the doubt in the scholar's tone, and her heart jumped suddenly, she didn't know if the scholar would hate her idea of knowing that there was something wrong but not changing it.

But Lin Ajiu still said honestly: "I don't want to be trampled underfoot, I want to trample those who bullied my Lin family!"

The scholar sighed, his eyes were full of helplessness and sadness, as if he had already guessed it, and then he said: "Ah Jiu, you promise me that no matter whether you succeed in learning or not, you will not be easy to kill in this life." Leave others a way in everything, don't do all the bad things, and do the good things forever. ”

"Otherwise, you won't teach me, will you?" Lin Ajiu suddenly frowned and looked at the scholar with a serious face. She had thought that this would be the case before she spoke, so even if the scholar left her a way out, she looked like she was going her own way.

The scholar seemed to be stopped by Lin Ajiu's question, and was stunned and didn't say a word.

Then Lin Ajiu sneered, and then said with a smile: "Unless I can't learn it in this life, otherwise, those who deceive me will be killed." ”

Lin Ajiu glanced at the scholar, and then added: "Scholar, sometimes leaving a way for others is not leaving a way for yourself, no one will feel as kind to others as you are." Good is rewarded with good and evil is rewarded with evil, I never believe in half a word of this sentence!"

Lin Ajiu is arrogant, and her thinking is even more stubborn, she does not easily change her mind. At this time, she didn't know how to bow her head and not know how to be patient, maybe the scholar didn't want too much. But at this time, Lin Ajiu's murderous aura was too heavy, and the scholar couldn't contain it. So the scholar didn't keep him, and let Lin Ajiu stubbornly insist.

Then the door of the bamboo house was vigorously pushed open, Lin Ajiu walked out angrily, his eyes were red, Luo Wuqiu hurriedly greeted him, but Lin Ajiu glared at him fiercely and pushed it open.

Lin Ajiu turned to look at the bamboo house behind him, and his eyes couldn't tell whether it was resentment or unwillingness, maybe humiliation and anger.

She snorted coldly, and then left under the scholar's compassionate gaze.

The scholar stopped Luo Wuqiu, so when Lin Ajiu ran far away, Lin Ajiu found that Luo Wuqiu hadn't followed.

"Hmph, sure enough, people choose to be self-interested. Then why can't I choose revenge! It's the weak who let others slaughter me! I, Lin Ajiu, will always become stronger one day!" Lin Ajiu felt resentment in her heart, more resentful than ever, Lin Ajiu thought, it was because the scholar gave her hope but killed it with his own hands.

Lin Ajiu remembered that yesterday he said that Luo Wuqiu was a friend, and the scholar said that a friend would never leave him, at this moment, Lin Ajiu felt that he was just a person from beginning to end. Like no one had understood her heart for seventeen years, she smiled sarcastically and bent her mouth, tears flowing.

She looked up at the sky, it was still clear, but now it was dark clouds. Life is always so impermanent, the situation changes too quickly, and Lin Ajiu always likes to stay in place, as if as long as she doesn't move, everything will not change.

She stubbornly stared at the dark clouds in the sky, her tears were broken, her palms were pierced by her nails, but she still felt that it was not enough, and when she cried in a low voice, her eyes were full of sadness, and her fingertips became more and more forceful.

The inky clouds on the horizon were like a spell, blocking the sunlight in her heart, just like the scenery in front of her.

Night.

Lin Ajiu couldn't swallow when he looked at the bowl of white snake meat, and his thoughts were written on his face.

Dad asked Lin Ajiu distressedly: "Ajiu, what's wrong?"

"Dad, why doesn't anyone in Lin'an know how to read? Lin Ajiu's eyes were full of stubbornness, as well as grievances and unwillingness.

The mother sighed helplessly, and then reproached: "What does my daughter's family learn to read? After reading some books, she will learn badly, and then she will suffer some hardships in vain! Besides, how good it is to not know how to read in this countryside, there are at most small contradictions between neighbors. If you go to a place with a lot of people, you will often kill people who are literate!"

Lin Ajiu frowned fiercely, her eyes were full of resistance, and she retorted: "It is those ignorant people who have learned to read and write to harm others, and I am not them! Even if I learn to read and write, it will not harm others! If I want to harm me, I will harm those who bully our Lin family!"

She still insisted on her own opinion, but she didn't know that what she thought was just what she thought, once a person has the power of life and death, he will do whatever he wants. And those rules, principles, are only used to restrain people who can't do whatever they want.

Lin Ajiu was very angry, he had no appetite at all, and there was only one thought in his mind, I want to know how to read! I want to know how to read!

Dad looked at Lin Ajiu's silent tears, he probably knew why Lin Ajiu had such thoughts.

He sighed again and again, and only after a long time did he say, "Ah Jiu, if you want to be literate, Dad will teach you." ”

Lin Ajiu was suddenly speechless, dad can read?!

The mother cried on the side, and her father hurriedly comforted her and said softly: "You have to believe Ah Jiu, what the fortune teller said is not necessarily right." ”

What kind of fortune teller? Could it be that the fortune teller said that Lin Ajiu couldn't read? What kind of bullshit reason is this?

Seeing Lin Ajiu's puzzled face, Dad said, "Eat quickly, Dad will teach you literacy from tomorrow." ”

"Really! Haha! Thank you, Dad! I will definitely study hard!" Lin Ajiu's heart suddenly burst into joy, and she felt that the whole world was bright! She could be literate without a scholar! In an instant, the status of a scholar in her heart dropped a lot, and Lin Ajiu herself didn't realize it, she was jealous and resentful. Like a child who is full of expectations but has not been rewarded, stubborn and selfish resentment.

People's hearts may not be because of a big thing, sometimes a small thing can do. Interpersonal relationships are so fragile, and people's hearts are so unbearable to scrutinize.
