Chapter 130: Nezha was deceived and waited until the next day, where...
The next day, when Nezha saw Fu Li again, he keenly noticed that she was in a low mood.
Nezha came running over, looking up and swearing: "Sister, who made you angry? I'm going to beat him up!" He waved his fists as big as buns, his face full of hatred for the enemy.
Such cuteness and sincerity made Fu Li's expression relax. She squatted down and pinched his cheek, saying softly, "No one is provoking me. I'm just feeling sorry."
"Regret?" Nezha didn't quite understand the meaning of the word, nor did he want to find out at this time. He just asked curiously, "Regret for what?"
Fu Li's tone was a little distant: "It's a pity that the hero is about to end, and I can't do anything about it."
"Hero? I know what a hero is!" Nezha raised his hand, his eyes sparkling. "Sister just told me the other day that a hero is someone who risks their own life to turn the tide."
Fu Li smiled faintly and praised, "Nezha is truly amazing. I remember everything correctly. However, I'd like to add one more thing today: those who try to save a crumbling empire but fail are also heroes. They never overestimate their abilities; they simply refuse to accept the decline of the world."
Nezha's face wrinkled, and the dimples that had bloomed from his smile quickly disappeared. He shook his head in distress, "Sister, I don't understand."
Fu Li said softly, "You're still young. It doesn't matter if you don't understand now. Just keep it in mind. One day, you will understand."
Nezha nodded seriously and said crisply, "Don't worry, sister. I will remember this."
Seeing that Fu Li was still unhappy, he suddenly had an idea. He stepped forward, grabbed Fu Li's arm, and shook her, saying, "Sister, sister, I memorized the poem we are going to talk about today yesterday. Can I recite it to you? Don't think about those unhappy things."
At this time, he was very glad that his mother forced him to preview his homework yesterday, and today he could use it to make his sister happy.
"Okay." Fu Li tried hard not to think about Wen Zhong's ending, and listened to Nezha's recitation with anticipation.
Seeing her eyes focused on him, Nezha, feeling the positive feedback, cleared his throat and recited aloud: "Beat the Yin Wu, and vigorously attack Jing and Chu. Penetrate deep into their barriers, and conquer the Jing army. If there is a place where they can intercept, the thread of Tang and Sun will be..."
This is the "Yin Wu" chapter in "Song of Shang", which tells the story of Wu Ding, the ruler of the revival of the Shang Dynasty.
This poem praises Wu Ding's victory in conquering Jingchu, and depicts the prosperity and stability of the Shang Dynasty during Wu Ding's reign. The common people and nobles each lived in peace and did not dare to challenge Wu Ding's edge.
Most importantly, it praises Wu Ding's achievements in reviving the Shang Dynasty.
Fu Li couldn't help but think of Wen Zhong again, and recalled his sigh: "Born at the wrong time!"
She knew that Wen Zhong's sigh wasn't for her, but for the current King Xin of the Shang Dynasty. If Zi Xin hadn't been born at the wrong time, he might have become the next Wu Ding.
The poem was long, but not by much, and Nezha memorized it quickly.
But after he finished reciting, he found that Fu Li was distracted again.
Nezha snorted and said unhappily, "I worked so hard to memorize the text until late yesterday just to give my sister a surprise, but she didn't care at all. So why am I working so hard? I don't even need to study anymore!"
Fu Li came back to her senses and apologized quickly, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have been distracted while you were reciting. Good Nezha, please forgive me this time."
Nezha glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, pouting and muttering, "Who knows if I forgive you this time, will there be a next time?"
Fu Li laughed and assured, "Don't worry, I definitely won't."
Nezha held it for a while, and after hearing so many nice words, he raised the corners of his lips, which he could not suppress, and nodded in a reserved manner.
"Alright. Since you're still sincere, I'll forgive you this time."
Fu Li was so amused by him that she burst into laughter. She could no longer think of Wen Zhong. She hugged him and kissed him hard on both cheeks. She smiled happily and said, "Thank you, Lord Nezha, for your generosity!"
Nezha nestled in her arms, and the corners of his mouth, which could not be suppressed to begin with, curled up even higher.
——Hehe, sister kissed me, sister kissed me! Next time, next time I must find a chance to kiss her back.
=====
Half a year passed like this, and Yin Hua began to control the spread of news, saying that the third son of the Li family was born with a weak disease, and the general and his wife were afraid that they could not raise him, so they kept the child in the inner house and did not let him see anyone.
A year ago, two gods came and brought a magic prescription to treat the third young master, and finally he looked like an ordinary child.
Human memory can be tampered with, especially those mysterious and secret gossips, which can blur and modify human cognition.
After learning that he could go out, Nezha couldn't wait to go out and play with Fuli.
Yin Hua gently warned: "Listen to Master Dai and don't run around on the streets."
Li Jing, with his usual stern face, said, "If you dare to make trouble, you will be punished by the family rules when you return!"
Nezha hid behind Fu Li and made a face at him, not afraid of him at all. He pulled Fu Li out.
"Sister, hurry up, hurry up, I haven't been out yet."
"Hey, this kid... Madam, look at him!" Li Jing stomped his feet in anger.
Yin Hua glared at him amusedly, half soothing and half angry: "With Master Dai here, he will definitely be able to control Nezha. It's the child's first time going out to play, why are you spoiling the fun?"
"I'm just worried he'll get into trouble," Li Jing said, feeling aggrieved. "Normally, when he plays pranks at home, no one would bother with him. But if he does it outside, someone will definitely come to complain."
Yin Hua couldn't help but frown when he heard this and asked, "Mr. Nan, how long has it been since you last paid attention to Nezha?"
Meeting Li Jing's puzzled gaze, Yin Hua said seriously, "My lord, do you know that Nezha hasn't played tricks on anyone for a long time? Not only has he stopped playing tricks on people, he's even helping his family regularly. Everyone's opinion of him has changed, so why are you still looking at him the same way?"
Li Jing couldn't help but say embarrassedly: "I'm just too busy." But he still lacked confidence.
Yin Hua said, "Now that Nezha's matter has been resolved, I will be in charge of the political affairs of Chentang Pass in the future. My lord, don't just focus on training the troops. It's more important to spend more time with our son."
Li Jing knew he was in the wrong, so he smiled and said, "I'll listen to you, Madam."
Besides, it was Nezha’s first time going out on the street, and everything he saw seemed new to him. He pulled Fuli from one stall to another, and he felt like his eyes were not enough to see everything.
Fu Li followed behind him and bought anything he looked at for a second. Before she knew it, she had bought a lot.
Fortunately, she had a magic weapon for storing things, otherwise her body would have been like a shelf.
Suddenly, Nezha saw a lot of people gathered not far away. He felt itchy and wanted to know what everyone was doing there.
"Sister, sister, there are so many people there, let's go over and take a look!"
Fu Li nodded helplessly. The purpose of their going out today was to make Nezha happy.
The two of them walked over, and Nezha found a gap and squeezed into the crowd, holding Fu Li tightly with one hand, for fear of getting separated from her.
When he got to the innermost part, Fu Li found that there were two quack doctors selling medicine, performing a gun and stick performance.
After playing with each other for a while, one of them lay down on the wooden frame, while the other held up a stone slab and turned it around to let the audience confirm that the stone was real.
Then he placed the stone slab on the lying man, swung a big hammer, and smashed it down hard amid the exclamations of the crowd.
With a loud "bang", the stone slab shattered, and the person lying on the wooden shelf jumped down. He didn't look injured at all, and waved his arms to show his strength to the audience.
Then, they used the usual rhetoric used by the swindlers to sell plasters and powerful pills to the audience around them, praising them in exaggerated terms as if they were miracle drugs.
How could Nezha have ever seen such a thing? He was stunned at the time. It was only when the people around him cheered that he woke up and started clapping his hands together.
When the two men came to them with the ointment, Nezha looked at Fuli eagerly, with "want" written all over his face.
Fu Li had no intention of exposing this trick of making a living in the underworld. Seeing that Nezha wanted it, she spent two knife coins to buy a plaster and a powerful pill.
Nezha held it in his arms like a treasure and had no intention of shopping anymore. He urged Fu Li to go back.
After returning home, he took out the plaster and the powerful pill and asked excitedly, "After I take this powerful pill, will I become extremely strong?"
Fu Li said, "Don't think about it. This is the hawthorn meatball you usually eat, but it's a little bigger."
"Huh?" Nezha's eyes widened, staring at the ball in his hand in disbelief. "How could it be? Such a thick stone slab, such a big hammer smashed down, and that person was not hurt at all. Could it be that he took a powerful pill?"
Fu Li smiled and said, "It's just a little trick. Anyone can lie there and nothing will happen."
The issue of force area is fundamental physics. The two drug vendors might not have known the principle, but that didn't stop them from figuring out the process through practice.
After hearing Fu Li's little knowledge about the area of force, Nezha completely gave up his fantasy.
He was so angry that he threw the big hawthorn ball to the ground and said, "This is too much, too much, you actually lied to me!"
Suddenly, he thought of something and accused Fu Li with a look of grievance: "You clearly knew this a long time ago, why didn't you remind me? I trusted you so much, how could you just watch me get deceived?"
Fu Li blinked and explained, "It's not much. I bought it because I saw you liked it."
Nezha rushed over and hugged her legs, pestering her, "I don't care, I don't care. I'm so sad now. Sister, you have to make it up to me."
There was nothing funny about this scene, but Fu Li couldn't help but burst out laughing in her heart when she thought that the person acting coquettishly and naughtily in front of her was the reincarnation of the arrogant Lingzhuzi.
——If one day, Nezha regained the memory of Lingzhuzi and thought about the stupid things he did as a child, would he want to travel through time and beat up his current self?
No, no, I can’t think about it anymore. It would be impolite to think about it.
Fu Li coughed to stifle her laughter, then simply picked up Nezha and asked kindly, "So what compensation do you want?"
Nezha's round eyes rolled around, and his pupils like black grapes flashed with cleverness.
While Fu Li was not paying attention, he suddenly hugged her neck and kissed her rosy cheek hard.
"I will get the compensation I want myself."
Nezha was so proud that his mouth was raised to the sky.
Fu Li was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter.
——Still a little child!
