Chapter 109
"After dinner, the second teacher will be at the door. I will ask the servant to pick him up, but you have to go over there too. At least you can meet him. Don't fail to recognize him or have a bad attitude. I heard that the teacher has a weird temper."
Wu Rizhao said to Paradise.
Leyuan nodded: "I understand."
Wu Rizhao smiled and said to everyone, "Then let's eat!"
After dinner, Wu Rizhao instructed Leyuan again: "Remember to look at yourself in the mirror. Don't make it look too bad. If the teacher sees it and gets upset, you may not be able to study well in the future."
Rakuen nodded.
Wu Rizhao was about to leave, and said to Leyuan, "I'm not saying this to challenge your teacher in advance, nor am I saying that your teacher is bad. I'm saying that if your teacher doesn't like you, you'll be unhappy when he teaches you. When that happens, you'll be in a bad mood, and it won't be easy to study, which will affect your progress. He's expensive."
Le Yuan smiled and said, "Okay."
When he walked out of the door, Sick Ajia was still following Leyuan. Leyuan glanced at him and asked, "Don't you have anything else to do?"
Sick Ajia was walking on the road, seemingly in a trance. When he heard Leyuan talking, he came back to his senses, smiled, lowered his head shyly, and replied, "No, my job is to follow the master. Wherever the master goes, I go. If the master asks me not to go, I won't go. I have already handled everything the master asked me to do before. I have washed the things and hung them in the yard.
If the owner doesn't like seeing those things in the yard, I'll come back and find another place to dry them."
Leyuan shook his head: "That's fine."
As they walked on the road, the sky became increasingly gloomy and it looked like it was going to rain soon. A gust of wind blew over, and their clothes rustled.
Sick Aga took a step forward, looking a little worried. Leyuan glanced at him, then at the sky, shook his head and said, "It's okay. It's not raining yet, is it?"
Before he finished speaking, there was a bang, and the sky darkened rapidly. A white light suddenly exploded from the black cloth-like sky, and a white dragon emerged from a dark well. It was a flash of lightning accompanied by thunder, and after bursts of rumbling, it began to rain from the sky. The rain was so heavy that it seemed like a waterfall had been formed in an instant, and the ground was soaked, and water pools were formed.
The ground also started to make a loud noise.
Their shoes were wet, and their clothes were soaked. Fortunately, there was a roof nearby to take shelter. Bing Ajia and Leyuan walked over and hid like a chicken in the soup. There was a small room nearby, and they stood at the door.
Sick Aga took a look inside, wiped his face and said, "There may be an umbrella in there, but neither you nor I have the key."
Bing Ajia fumbled around his body hesitantly and actually took out a bunch of keys. Leyuan was a little surprised. He turned around and looked at him, smiling and said, "I didn't expect you to have such a thing. Did my brother give it to you?"
Sick Aga also smiled: "Yes."
Leyuan asked: "Is there any key among these that can open this door?"
Sick Aga blinked, lowered his head to look, shook his head, and whispered, "I don't know, maybe I need to look for it."
Leyuan said, "Then go and look for it. Maybe the key to open the door is inside. If you can find it, open the door and go in, maybe you can find the umbrella. Wait a minute, when the rain is a little lighter, go out with the umbrella and you will be able to reach your residence. There must be an umbrella in my residence, at least one. After all, that place is not a warehouse dedicated to storing umbrellas."
Sick Aga nodded.
But he searched for a long time, tried again and again, but he just couldn't find the right key to open the door. Leyuan laughed and said, "It seems that I am stupid. If I say no, then it must be possible. If I say yes, then it must be impossible. It's a pity that you have been looking for so long and still can't find it. We are unlucky."
Hearing him talking about us, Bing Ajia's heart moved, and he suddenly looked up. Leyuan was startled by him, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?"
Seeing him stunned, Leyuan reacted, came over to take back the initiative, and said with a smile: "Am I wrong? Are you unwilling to call me us? Or are you anxious and want to lose your temper?"
Sick Ajia lowered his head quickly: "No."
He was so anxious that his face turned red. He couldn't say anything for a while and could only answer repeatedly: "No."
Leyuan pulled away from him and said with a smile, "Got it."
Bing Ajia subconsciously wanted to follow, but the distance between them only increased from one step to two steps. He was afraid that if he rushed over all at once, he would knock Paradise into the rain outside, so he stopped. Although his body was stable, the key in his hand made a rattling sound, like a string of glass beads that fell to the ground in harmony with the sound of rain outside, and shattered into countless glass shards.
Leyuan originally looked outside, and it was all raining outside. It seemed that the vast world was just a layer of sky-blue water. He heard a string of keys ringing beside his ear, and turned around to see that Sick Ajia had turned around in a hurry. One hand was still holding the key ring, but it was tightly gripped, and his arm was shaking slightly. The other hand seemed to cover his heart subconsciously, and he was unaware of it.
Leyuan curiously moved forward a little, half of his body leaned forward and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Sick Aga shook his head, and the key in his hand also shook its head, making a noisy sound as if his heart was beating violently and shouting along.
Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Leyuan took a step back. He almost lost his balance and stepped onto the stairs, letting out a scream.
Sick Aga turned around suddenly and grabbed Leyuan's hand that was waving in the air. He was afraid that Leyuan would really fall out because he didn't hold her firmly for a moment, so he simply put the key on his waist and quickly stretched out his other hand. This time he used more force, and Leyuan was pulled into his arms and hit his chest. She covered her nose and screamed.
"Your clothes are really tough."
Leyuan rubbed his nose, his eyes turned red, and he laughed.
Sick Aga smiled a little embarrassedly, then walked to the front of the park and asked, "Are you okay?"
Leyuan shook his head: "It's okay."
Sick Aga nodded, let go of his hand, and leaned against the wall and the door to open the distance. Leyuan leaned against the pillar beside him and asked, "Hey, are you so scared of me?"
Sick Aga shook his head: "I'm not afraid."
Leyuan asked, "Why are you hiding from me like this? It's as if I were a tiger in the mountains that would eat you. I don't eat humans."
He paused, his face suddenly turned ugly, thinking, this is weird, when have I heard this sentence from someone else, but I don't look like the kind of person who would say this, why am I suddenly saying this nonsense? What the hell! What's going on? When did I say this? How do I know?
My head hurts a bit.
Leyuan frowned and turned his body to the side so that the sick Aga wouldn't be able to see the expression on his face clearly.
But Bing Aga was about to answer when he saw him suddenly turn around. Although the change was not big, he could feel that Leyuan's mood had changed all of a sudden. If it was not bad before, it was bad now. It was not terrible, but in comparison, it was still not that good. He swallowed the words in his throat and just watched Leyuan quietly from the side.
Maybe he wanted to wait until the park had adjusted itself before talking to him.
The rain outside gradually became lighter. Leyuan paced in the same place, looking at the rain curtain outside. He felt unhappy and unhappy. After walking two steps, he couldn't help but said to Bing Ajia: "I'm going back first. I don't know if the teacher has arrived. If the teacher arrives before me, I'm afraid that when we meet, I won't be polite and will be regarded as sloppy. That would be bad."
Bing Aga nodded, was stunned for a moment, and then saw that Paradise had already rushed out. He came to his senses and hurriedly followed him out.
The rain was getting lighter and lighter, but when they reached the door of their residence, it suddenly became heavier. They were already soaked from head to toe, and now it looked as if they had just been pulled out of the water.
Leyuan pulled the clothes that were sticking to his body, frowned, his cheeks had a subtle and abnormal blush, his face was slightly pale, his lips were also white, and his eyeballs looked very eerie against this pale color. He stood in the shadow at the edge, like a shadow that suddenly put on someone else's clothes with a little more color, like a ghost appearing in the rain.
But the shadow was also strange, covering his face like a half-face mask, and also making his face appear half yang and half yin. I don't know why, but Sick Aga followed behind Leyuan and looked at him secretly. When he saw his face, he inexplicably felt that he was smiling, as if he was wearing a small ugly smiley mask in red, yellow, black and white.
Leyuan said angrily: "It's raining so heavily."
Sick Aga nodded quietly.
There was a creaking sound in the room, as if someone stood up, the door opened, and a neatly dressed servant came out. He saw Leyuan coming and waved to him. Leyuan walked over, and the servant whispered in Leyuan's ear: "The teacher has come and is waiting for you in the room."
Leyuan was stunned for a moment, then he went to the servant and asked, "What's going on? Tell me two sentences!"
The servant replied quickly, "Originally, I wanted to ask the teacher to go see the master first, but the master had something to do and it started raining halfway, so the teacher said she wanted to come over to see the students first. I couldn't make the decision, and the rain was getting heavier. It was not good to delay her halfway, so I brought her over and sat her down. Who knew that after waiting for such a long time, you still hadn't come back? I think the teacher is almost angry."
Leyuan closed his eyes, nodded, and walked in quickly.
Bing Ajia followed behind, wanting to say something but stopping himself. The servant said to Bing Ajia, "You don't have to go in. You are soaked. Change your clothes quickly and come back to serve me. Also, remember to boil a pot of hot water when you go out. When the young master finishes talking to the teacher, he will definitely want to take a bath. If you wait until he comes out, it will be too late to boil water."
Sick Ajia nodded, not quite understanding: "I'll be there right away."
The servant nodded, and Sick Aga turned and left. The servant then closed the door. Only Leyuan, his second teacher, and the servant who came to lead the guests were in the room.
Leyuan walked to the teacher, who was sitting on the sofa. Leyuan was a little restless. The teacher was holding a glass of water, blowing slightly, trying to drink some. He saw a black shadow next to him. He turned his head and glanced at it. He found it was a stranger. He looked carefully and saw that it looked like a young man. The clothes he wore were similar to the student described by others. So he asked, "Who are you?"
Leyuan replied, "I live here."
The teacher said "oh" and quickly put the cup on the table. She took Leyuan's hand and said, "I didn't expect it to be you. You live here, right? Then sit down. You are the host and I am the guest. How can I sit in front of you?"
This statement is somehow strange.
Leyuan certainly didn't dare to sit down, and hurriedly declined, saying, "I don't dare, I don't dare, you are a guest, and guests should sit down. It's really rude of me to have you not show up for such a long time and let the servants entertain you. Please sit down, please sit down. You are still the elder, just sit here. Actually, I have something else to do. It doesn't matter if you sit here or not. Please sit down."
The teacher nodded, sat down, and let Leyuan sit down. Leyuan hesitated for a moment, and the teacher asked, "Why don't you take a shower first? You must feel uncomfortable being wet like this. If you can change into clean clothes and shoes, that's fine. Anyway, I won't leave for a while, so just go ahead. You can come to see me whenever you are ready."
Leyuan tried to evade the question: "How can I do that? You are a guest and an elder. I have already made you wait here for so long. It would not be nice to make you wait here any longer. How can I just leave and do something?"
The teacher laughed and said, "Haha, you are such a good talker, but I've already told you that I have plenty of time. Don't be afraid. I won't blame you for this. Just go ahead."
Leyuan blinked and asked tentatively: "So I really went there?"
The teacher nodded and said, "Go ahead."
Leyuan said: "Thank you, teacher. I will try to come over as soon as possible."
The teacher said, "Okay."
Leyuan opened the door and prepared to leave. The servant came over and asked, "When can you come back? You are not here, so I am the only one here. I am afraid I will be too busy to eat when I am alone!"
Leyuan said, "It doesn't matter. You can do whatever you want."
The servant cried out, and Paradise left.
The servant had to go back by himself.
Leyuan walked to the washroom and saw the sick Aga pouring hot water into the bathtub. He stood not far away and asked, "Have you already washed?"
Sick Aga quickly put the bucket aside and shook his head: "No."
Leyuan nodded: "Then you go and wash yourself first, I will take care of it myself here, don't worry, I don't need anyone's help with taking a bath."
Sick Aga blinked and stood at the door hesitantly. Leyuan said, "It's really okay, go ahead. If I need anything, I'll look for you. If I can't find you, isn't there another one? It's right over there, not too far away."
The sick Aga hesitated for a long time, nodded, and walked away.
He went to the park and closed the door. The hot and cold water were mixed in the bucket. He stretched out his hand to test the temperature, took off his clothes and shoes, and went in. He actually felt mud and sand on his body. He was a little confused, thinking, I didn't fall down, and I didn't walk on the muddy and sandy ground, so how did I get these things on me? Where did I get them from? It was really inexplicable.
He thought about it, but couldn't come up with any idea, so he continued to take a bath. When he was washing with all his might, he suddenly heard a bang outside, as if a branch was weighed down by the rain and suddenly trembled and hit the window. Leyuan felt strange and frowned. He stood up, wrapped himself in clothes, and went to the window to look out. He suddenly met a pair of eyes and was stunned for a moment.
The eyes outside also discovered the paradise and smiled at him. It was a very provocative smile, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Leyuan quickly opened the window and looked out, but this time she saw nothing. Outside there were branches, flowers, and rain, but no birds or people, let alone anyone smiling. Leyuan frowned, closed the window, and prepared to get ready for a bath. When she was about to get into the bathtub, she felt as if there was a pair of eyes behind her. She turned around and looked out the window suddenly.
This time he saw those eyes again. Although he couldn't be sure it was the same person, the feeling and appearance of the smile were exactly the same. Leyuan took a deep breath and felt like his heart was about to burst. He rushed over to open the window, but saw no one.
Leyuan didn't plan to continue taking a bath this time. He gritted his teeth, climbed out of the window, looked around, and saw a person on the roof.
Although he could only see half of a face through the window when looking out from the house, this time, Leyuan saw the man's entire face. He was a short man with a piece of gray cloth wrapped on his head and a bright flower tied in his hair. His face was compact and bright, like a sturdy and lively mouse spirit. He grinned, and his teeth were a little crooked, like a green-faced fanged rat.
Ok, found it!
Leyuan chased after him, and just as he reached the roof, the man jumped lightly and disappeared, as fast as a swallow on a beam.
Paradise couldn't get there in a short time, so he could only lie on the eaves, gritting his teeth, sighing in despair, and angrily said, "Don't let me see it again. If I see it again, I will find a way to catch him and throw him into prison! Otherwise, I will throw him into the dungeon. I don't believe he could have grown wings and escaped."
He really couldn't see anyone up there, so he had to come down by himself. Who knew that when he came down, he didn't see clearly that there was a step on the ground, which cut his knee. From the knee down to the calf, it was all bright red. There wasn't much blood, but the skin was gone. It looked really ugly, and Leyuan could only cover it with clothes.
He limped to the door and suddenly saw a figure there. He was so frightened that he almost passed out. He grabbed a black stick from the side and swung it to hit the man. With a bang, the stick hit the door frame. The man dodged, turned around, and looked towards the paradise with a surprised expression on his face.
The two looked at each other and were stunned.
Leyuan slowly put the stick back and put it in the corner of the door. He blinked, loosened his hand, looked at the person opposite him and asked, "Why are you here?"
Sick Ajia opened his mouth and said, "I heard some noise over here and thought there was a mouse, so I decided to come over to take a look, hoping I could catch it. Who knew I would meet my master?"
He was also a little confused, muttering: "Isn't the master taking a shower inside? Why did he come out and stand outside wearing such thin clothes and dragging his shoes? It can't be to get some fresh air!"
Leyuan said, "Oh, I saw someone outside, so I went out to look for him. Unexpectedly, I saw you here."
Sick Aga's face flushed red: "I didn't mean to come here to peek at the master!"
Leyuan nodded repeatedly, afraid that he would talk more and make things more confusing, so she didn't intend to tell him that she saw outsiders, and prepared to go into the room: "I know you didn't mean to come here, and you didn't come to see me, I know everything, are you done with your shower? You can go back now, if you are done, wait for me outside, it's still raining here, and the wind is still a little cold. I'm going in, I haven't finished my shower yet."
Sick Ajia blushed, nodded, and made way for the door. Leyuan pushed the door open and went in. The water inside was still warm, so he could continue to wash. Sick Ajia also thought about the water temperature outside, so he knocked on the door and asked, "Master, how about I go get you some more hot water?"
Paradise said, "Sure, go ahead."
Sick Aga shouted, "I will definitely go and come back soon."
Le Yuan said, “I understand.”
I finished my shower out of boredom. Fortunately, the hot water came in time, not too late. Although the amount of water was not much, it was better than nothing.
Leyuan thought she didn't have a cold, so she breathed a sigh of relief, happily opened the door and walked out with Bing Ajia, saying to Bing Ajia, "I'll leave those clothes to you to wash."
Sick Aga nodded: "I understand."
Leyuan was a little happier and said with a smile, "Okay."
He was about to go see the teacher, mumbling, "I hope the teacher is still waiting for me in the room, but it's been so long and there's nothing in the room. If the teacher stays in there all the time, I'm afraid she'll be bored. It's better to go somewhere else and have some fun. There's nothing to see here, and it's so big that it can't even accommodate a guest. It's not good."
When he opened the door, the teacher didn't leave. He saw Leyuan coming over after changing his clothes. He looked at him and asked, "Are you done with your shower?"
Rakuen nodded.
The teacher asked again: "I heard some noise outside just now. Did you hear it?"
Leyuan said, "I just heard it. Maybe a bird couldn't fly because of the rain, so it fell from a high place."
He looked at the sick Aga and asked, "Really?"
Sick Aga nodded: "Maybe."
Leyuan turned his head and looked at the teacher, showing a smile as obediently as possible. Although he couldn't look obedient no matter how he smiled, this attitude was still acceptable. The teacher snorted lightly, reluctantly satisfied, touched his beard and said to Leyuan: "Okay. Now that your matter has been dealt with, I have to ask you."
Paradise said: "You ask."
The teacher squinted at him and asked, "When did you eat?"
Paradise whispered, "When it hasn't rained yet."
The teacher asked again: "When did you finish your meal?"
Paradise whispered, "When it's about to rain."
The teacher continued, "Where are you when it rains?"
Leyuan said: "I was on the road without an umbrella, so I waited for a while. I found that the rain had not stopped. I wondered when the rain would stop, so I walked back in the rain."
The teacher nodded and said, "I was wondering why you are all wet. The way back is not short, but it is not particularly long either. You have people around you and there are houses and eaves everywhere to shelter from the rain, but you are all soaked. It is really suspicious to see you like this. I am not asking you these questions to cause trouble for you, but just to understand what kind of person I am as a student.
If you didn't lie, it means you are an honest person. If you lied, it means you are a hypocritical person. If you don't speak, it means you are dumb. If you can speak but don't speak, it means you have something against me, and you don't like to speak, and you don't like my problems.
It’s strange to say, didn’t you see an umbrella next to you at that time?
If there was no umbrella, where were you waiting? Did you not see any acquaintances passing by on the road after waiting for a while? Even if there were no acquaintances, no one recognized the two of you? That would be even more strange.
Although the teacher said that he was not looking for trouble, but the questions he asked one by one made it impossible for people to think that there was no problem at all. It did not sound like he had good intentions at all. Leyuan now knew why the teacher said that he was not looking for trouble. If he hadn't said it in advance, he would never have understood.
Leyuan answered the teacher's questions one by one.
The teacher stroked his beard, neither saying whether he was satisfied nor dissatisfied, and the room fell into silence.
An atmosphere of silence permeated everywhere, and no one spoke first.
After a while, the teacher suddenly asked, "Are you hungry now?"
Leyuan replied: "It's almost time for dinner, you can go eat now."
He didn't say he was hungry, nor did he say he was not hungry. He just said he wanted to eat, but he still couldn't avoid the teacher's doubts.
The teacher asked: "If you are not hungry, why do you talk so much about eating? You made me hungry. If you are hungry, you can still talk so much about eating. You are really something. Are you hungry or not?"
Leyuan said: "I don't know, I don't feel hungry, but according to the time, I need to eat."
The teacher snorted, as if he had gotten a satisfactory answer reluctantly, stroked his beard and said, "Well, let's go eat now. We can come back and talk after eating."
Leyuan whispered, "This is where I live, not where I go to school. My school and classroom are next door, not far away."
The teacher asked, "Can't I choose my own place? You can sleep next door."
Leyuan was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "It's not impossible."
The teacher turned his head.
The passers-by arrived at the dining area, where Wu Rizhao was already sitting. He seemed to have arrived very early, as if he had been waiting for someone. In his hand was a piece of paper with full handwriting. Wu Rizhao looked at the paper as if he were looking at a pile of gold and silver, and his mood was pretty good. The teacher walked over and sat down. Wu Rizhao was alerted by the movement, raised his head, and saw the person coming.
"You are here."
Wu Rizhao greeted them, looked at the teacher and asked, "The teacher has probably already met the students. Is everything going well?"
The teacher said, "The students have seen him, but I want to use his residence as a classroom, and he probably won't agree. You can ask him."
Wu Rizhao looked at Leyuan and asked, "So, you don't agree? Changing your residence is not a big deal. I can make other arrangements for you."
Leyuan replied: "No, I don't disagree. It's all right. You can arrange it for me."
Wu Rizhao nodded and looked at the teacher, who said, "Humph, I'm afraid he will have to sleep in the classroom."
Leyuan blinked and said, "It depends. If I need you, I'll go. If I don't, forget it. There are so many places anyway. I can always find a place to sleep."
Wu Rizhao nodded: "That's true, but it's better to sleep at home."
Leyuan was rather disgusted by such words, so he frowned, lowered his head and said nothing.
Wu Rizhao looked at the teacher and asked, "Is there anything we have done wrong in our hospitality? I hope you will forgive us."
The teacher said, "No, but you don't seem to have many umbrellas here. When the wind and rain blow, I get soaked. I don't want to see students sitting down for class when they can't sit down. That will affect my teaching progress. I don't think adults want the progress to be delayed because of the wind and rain. Besides, if I stay here for one more day, I will have to pay that day's salary."
Wu Rizhao smiled and said, "Don't worry about the salary, teacher. I have it here, and I have prepared it for you a long time ago."
As he spoke, he waved his hand and asked someone to wrap the wallet and bring it over. The teacher took it and looked at it, then threw the package to the ground. His face changed and he sneered, "I thought you had a lot of money here, but it turns out to be nothing but this. What a rubbish! How dare you take out such a small thing and embarrass yourself? You have no shame, I even find it disgusting. You are humiliating me! I'm leaving."
He stood up, put on his clothes, stepped on his shoes twice, turned around and walked out.
Wu Rizhao was stunned at first, and didn't have time to react. He lost the chance to say anything. He could only stand up and look at the park. It was a little bit interesting. When you were with him before, was he also in this temper? It was really incredible. No wonder people outside said that he had a weird temper. How could such a temper not be considered weird? Poor you, you endured it for such a long time.
Leyuan was in a state of confusion. Wu Ri saw that the people outside had gone far away, so he sat back down and said to Leyuan, "That's all. Since you have such a bad temper, I won't teach you. Otherwise, you will cause trouble here and make everyone unhappy. If you still want to learn, I will go out and find a teacher for you. Forget about this."
Leyuan nodded and whispered, "It's okay to forget it, or to continue. I'll listen to you, brother."
Wu Rizhao nodded, and suddenly he became a little angry: "Damn it! How dare he ignore me like this! I am a well-known, wealthy and powerful gentry in the area, and he treats me like this, without any courtesy at all. Does he not care about anything? I think he doesn't care at all, he just doesn't care! What the hell. Someone, bring him back to me."
Leyuan asked quickly, "Brother, what are you going to do with this person?"
Wu Rizhao sneered, "Beat him up and throw him out! He must have been prepared to be beaten for daring to do this to me! If I don't lose my temper, he will think I have a very good temper."
Leyuan said, "No need to do that. I'll go take a look. Maybe the teacher is just testing our sincerity. Brother can eat here. I can go alone. Here, even if he can say a few words, he can't do anything to me. If we want to fight, I'm not afraid of him."
Wu Rizhao sneered: "Whatever, go ahead if you want to. Remember to come back early, otherwise the food will get cold, and cold food is not delicious."
Leyuan nodded: "I'm leaving."
Leyuan was leaving, and the sick Ajia next to him couldn't stay alone either, so he quickly stood up from the dining table and followed Leyuan out.
Wu Rizhao watched Bing Ajia follow him out, and he felt a little relieved. He held the chopsticks, frowned, hummed, and muttered, "At least there is one person who is acceptable."
Leyuan walked out with Bing Ajia, chasing and catching up, and finally got behind the teacher who was walking at a rapid pace. The teacher was still walking forward, and his steps were so fast that no one else could catch up with him for a while. It seemed that he slowed down on purpose so that Leyuan could just see him but couldn't catch him. Leyuan sighed, and had to give up the idea of catching him to talk, and just hurried on to talk.
"Teacher, teacher, don't be in a hurry to leave. If you feel that the money is not enough, you can add more. My brother is not such a stingy person. As long as the teacher tells you, it's okay. Just ask for how much you want. If you can give it, give it to the teacher. If you can't give it, it's okay if the teacher is willing to leave. But I don't know why the teacher has to embarrass my brother at the dinner table?
My brother was very respectful to the teacher, but he didn't offend her either. Why is the teacher so angry? Anger hurts the body. The teacher is a medical practitioner, so I don't need to say more. But why does the teacher look like he doesn't know? Teacher, can you please walk slower? I can't catch up!"
Leyuan said this and began to gasp for breath.
The teacher glanced at him with a very contemptuous and arrogant look, and barely stopped walking. He still didn't look at the amusement park directly, but just said: "Humph, who do you think you are? Who is your brother? I don't care what you do! Even if you are the king of heaven who came down to earth, I won't give you face. I am unhappy, so what can you do to me? I don't believe you dare to hit me!"
He sounded so arrogant when he said that, it really made people feel itchy and wanted to punch him.
But for some reason, Leyuan looked at him and thought he did it on purpose, just to let someone hit him with a fist, and he would be happy, thinking that he had caught something and could ask for something. Although he might not ask others for something, it was not a good thing to be asked for something. Leyuan did not intend to test this, but just asked sincerely: "Teacher, what do you think we did wrong?"
The teacher snorted and tilted his head and said, "Isn't this easy? Just give me all your money! I think you have done a good job. Do you dare? Will you do it? If you are not happy, let me go as soon as possible, so that I won't be beaten by you here."
Leyuan said: "Every blade of grass and every tree here belongs to me, but to my brother. My brother doesn't want to give it to me, and I have no choice. I am really sorry. If the teacher insists on taking all the money, that is absolutely impossible, unless my brother is willing. But my brother has just said that it is impossible for the teacher to take all the money. Please change your mind, teacher."
The teacher sneered, "Since you want me to change, fine, I will change. I want you to kneel down, kowtow to me, and say that you are willing to be my apprentice in the future. No matter what I do to you, you will never regret it, never disobey me, and never do anything against my will. Will you kneel down? Do you dare to swear? Can you do it?"
His smile suddenly changed, and he said to Le Yuan, "If you dare to swear, I will tell you the truth. I have a kind of medicine here. If you take it, you can only obey my orders. If I tell you to go west, you can't go east. If I tell you to go east, you can't go west. If you make me unhappy, I will make you suffer. Do you know what a good thing this is? Do you dare to take it?"
Leyuan said, "I dare not. Logically speaking, it is the duty of a disciple to kneel down and kowtow to his master and offer him tea. I am not a stubborn person. If you want me to kneel down, I can do it. If there is a reason, I can do it even more. However, I cannot do it without regret, disobedience or rebellion no matter what.
I may say this without fear of offending you, but if a person has no will of his own, it is the same as being dead. If I want to be dead, I can die on my own instead of letting others command me to do it.
I can listen to Master, but if Master asks me to go against my own wishes, I won’t do it. I can choose not to regret or disobey Master, but if Master asks me to harm my brother, I will never do that.”
After hearing these words, the teacher looked up to the amusement park. He was reluctant to change his direction and look at the man more straightly. He still smiled with the corner of his mouth tilted, "Humph, you talk so nicely, but I don't believe it. It's all high-sounding nonsense. Whoever believes it is a fool, but I am not. Why should I listen to you?
Come to think of it, are you mentally ill? You care so much about your brother. I broke something and your brother is angry, but you are still here begging me to go back. Are you a jerk? Don't you think you are disgusting? Doesn't this count as disobeying your brother? Haha, I think you are just good at talking. In fact, you have nothing but good words.
Otherwise, there would be no need for someone like me to be your teacher."
Leyuan said: "It's not wrong for the teacher to think so. I can't control what others think. But, teacher, you still have to be careful with your words. It's okay for you to insult me and it's okay for you to slander me. But if you keep talking like this and bring up my brother, my brother has a good temper. I don't have such a good temper. He won't give you the cold shoulder in person, but I will.
He won't scold you, I can, he won't hit you, I may not, I know, I can't even catch up with you, I can't beat you, but it doesn't matter, don't I have someone by my side? Even if two are not enough, there are servants everywhere in this room, just shout, if you don't respect it, I will ask you to roll in the sewer ditch before you leave.
What do you think?
The teacher's face changed and he said angrily, "You? How dare you talk to me like that?"
Leyuan said with a smile: "You will not cry until you see the coffin, or you will not give up until you reach the Yellow River? If you don't want to leave, I can ask someone to take you away. If you are willing to stay, I can also welcome you. You just need to teach me, and then you can leave by yourself. I will not stop you. Others are probably too lazy to meddle in other people's business. It's not like they are mentally ill.
I can say whatever I want. Anyway, you are not polite to me. Since you are not polite to me, why should I be polite to you? It's just a few words, but you are so angry. You embarrassed my brother in front of so many people. I am not here to argue with you.
Let me be frank!
Since you are here today, either stay here without paying a penny, and speak politely and respectfully to my brother in the future, or get out now and never come back. Don't let me see you, otherwise I will be even more rude than today."
The teacher was stunned for a moment and looked a little angry, but for some reason there was a smile on his face. Leyuan felt that he was puzzled and thought that maybe he had really guessed it right before he walked out. However, no matter whether he guessed it right or not, the teacher had already provoked his anger, and he really couldn't bear it anymore. This matter, whether it succeeded or not, he could only do his best and leave it to fate.
Leyuan let out a long breath, forced himself to calm down, looked at the teacher, and waited for an answer.
The teacher blinked and smiled, "Since you have brought this up, I can't just ignore it. I am not deaf. How about this? You and I go to the Champs Elysees Pavilion next door. We can sit by the water and talk. If we can come to an agreement, we'll settle it. If not, we can go our separate ways and part ways. I won't provoke you. How about that?"
Leyuan nodded hesitantly. The teacher pointed at the sick Ajia and said, "He is not allowed to follow me. He doesn't want to be my student, and the things I lost are not his. Why should he follow me all the way? I was already angry before, but I just wanted to leave without saying it. Now he is following me. This is inappropriate! We are of different status, so he may not understand if he goes there.
Even if he understood, I still don't want him to go. If he joins you and beats me up, I'll suffer a great loss. I don't want that."
Sick Aga could only stay far away, watching the amusement park and the teacher gradually go away. He felt a little anxious, but for some reason, he frowned.
Leyuan and the teacher walked to the water's edge, and Leyuan said, "Teacher, just say whatever you want to say."
The teacher waved to him, and Leyuan took a step forward and saw the teacher screamed, slipped from the ground, and fell on his back with a splash into the water. Leyuan stood there, stunned for a moment, then rushed over to save him, but he didn't see anyone, only a circle of ripples. Suddenly, a hand stretched out from the water and grabbed Leyuan's ankle, and Leyuan fell into the water.
There was another splash. At first, Bing Ajia didn't want to be in a hurry. He thought it was no big deal when he heard the first splash. Maybe it was just the teacher who fell into the water. He would find someone to pick him up later. Anyway, he would not die in there for a while. As a result, he heard the second splash before he could get close. This time he watched the paradise fall from the ground into the water with his own eyes. He was stunned for a moment, then hurried over to see.
Leyuan was not very good at swimming, but the water here was not deep and he was tall, so he managed to stand. He stuck his head out of the water and took a deep breath, but he still felt that his clothes were heavy and his chest seemed to be pressed by a huge rock. He almost blacked out and fell back. It was difficult to escape this time. He felt more and more that he had no strength left and even had difficulty crawling on the ground beside him.
Sick Aga knelt down anxiously, stretched out his hand to Leyuan and said, "Come here, I will pull the master up."
Leyuan shook his head, wiped the water off his face with a slightly cleaner surface and said, "The teacher also fell in, and got in before me. I don't know where he fell. Maybe something bad will happen. It's better to look for him here. Anyway, I won't be in trouble for a while, so you won't get your clothes and shoes dirty when you come down again."
As he spoke, he really lowered his head and started looking for it, groping around. Bing Ajia became more and more anxious, he wanted to stomp his feet and jump down as well, but he was afraid that if he jumped down, he would cause trouble to the park, so he could only frown and say, "Why not come up first. Who cares if he's dead or alive? He's so arrogant anyway, if I go down, I'm sure I'll be able to come up by myself, why should I worry about what he might do?
You'd better worry about whether the adults will be angry and sad after knowing your situation, so you'd better come up quickly.
Later, we'll ask other servants who can swim and are familiar with the place to come down and look for him. It's not a big deal!
Why do you care so much about him? You call him teacher, but he is not really your teacher, nor does he give you the title of master and apprentice, nor does he teach you anything. Even if it is reasonable, you don't need to take such risks for him. How is he better than a stranger? Maybe he is even worse than a stranger! At least a stranger will not suddenly appear at your residence to cause trouble!
He also lost your brother's things. When he humiliated your brother, don't forget why you had to save him?
Come up! Master, Master! "
Leyuan shook his head: "I don't know how long I have to wait, let me look for it first. If I find it, it will be considered saving a life. If I can't find it, it's his problem. Either he didn't want people to find him and ran away secretly. Then I will feel relieved knowing that he is not here. Otherwise, he is dead, which is unlucky. Who wants to have a corpse soaking in the water where they live? It is better to find it now.
It's a good thing for both you and me. Don't bother trying to persuade me. If you want help, call two people outside to come over. Try to find it as soon as possible so I can go back and take a shower."
Le Yuan muttered, "I took a shower today, and I will have to take another shower soon. I am really unlucky when I encounter water."
Sick Aga groaned, stood up with a sigh, turned around and went out to look for someone to come over, shouting as he walked. It was the first time that Leyuan realized that his voice could be so hoarse when it was loud.
Leyuan searched for a long time without success and soon became tired. He leaned against the ground to rest and was about to climb up when he was suddenly grabbed by a hand. Leyuan was startled and turned his head, but didn't see anyone. He took a deep breath, lowered his head to look for it in the water, and actually found it. When he saw the teacher trying to drag the person up, the teacher dragged him back into the water instead.
Leyuan didn't know what was going on and refused to obey him, so she struggled. The two of them struggled in the water, and ripples appeared on the surface of the water.
Paradise pulled the teacher out of the water and shouted, "What on earth are you going to do?"
The teacher wiped her face with a look of grievance: "My shoes fell off and I can't walk. They must have fallen here. I was wearing shoes before I came in. Can you help me find them?"
The park had no choice but to agree to help him find it, and advised him, "Go up first, I'll look for it for you. If I can't find it, let someone else come and look for it for you. You can leave after you find it. If you really can't find it, I'll spend money to buy you another pair of shoes."
The teacher shook her head and refused to give in: "No, no, no! No! No! My shoes are my shoes and other people's shoes are other people's shoes. The shoes that other people buy for me are not my shoes. I don't want them. Why should I want other people's things? Besides, you guys were not willing to give me things in the first place, so who dares to take your shoes? I want my shoes!
You don’t know, that pair of shoes was given to me by my teacher, I must find them back! Please help! Please help! Find them for me!”
Paradise was a little annoyed, so she pushed him to the ground and said, "Just let me go up there, and I'll find it for you."
The teacher climbed forward and turned back to the park and said, "Remember to find it for me. You must find it. If you can't find it, you are not allowed to come out. Do you remember? Do you hear me? Do you know what I am saying?"
Le Yuan waved his hand impatiently: "I know, I know!"
He searched in the water for a long time and finally found it. Bing Aga also came back with a group of servants to help.
They pulled Leyuan out of the water. The teacher didn't see the shoes in Leyuan's hand and kept shouting, "Oh! How did you get up? My shoes! I haven't found my shoes yet? Where are they? All of you go down and find them for me!"
Bing Ajia didn't even look at him. A servant beside him was unhappy and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? Of course you have to find your things yourself. If you don't look for them yourself and let others find them for you, do you have the nerve to do that? What if the other person dies? Can you afford to lose a life? What do you know? Our young master can't even swim, and he went down and looked for you in there for a long time!
You don't even say thank you but are still here urging me. What are you urging me for? Are you the reincarnation of the Judge of Death? I think you are in debt! What a little devil! "
The teacher sat on the ground and shouted, "Oh, King Yan is easy to talk to, but the little devil is so difficult to deal with. What is this! Wuwuwu, my shoes, wuwuwu——"
Leyuan handed him the shoes he had picked up: "Teacher, here are your shoes. Open your eyes and take a look. Is this it? If not, I will throw it away. If it is yours, you can take it back."
The teacher opened his eyes and smiled, "Oh, yes, this is mine. Hahaha! My shoes are back."
As he spoke, he lifted up his shoes, turned around, and put them on himself, not caring that the inside and outside of his shoes were still dirty. He stood up, straightened himself, bowed to the paradise, and said, "I'm sorry for offending you before."
The servant beside him snorted, not appreciating the offer: "What's the point of offending others? If you had such a thought, why didn't you do it earlier? It's too late to talk now! You should leave now. Your shoes have been found anyway. What else do you want others to help you pick up?"
Sick Aga stopped the servant from continuing, but his heart was the same.
They all looked toward Paradise.
The teacher stood up, not paying any attention to what the people around him said, and said to Leyuan, "You don't know, I do these things on purpose just to test other people's character.
When being questioned, he does not get angry and embarrassed, which means he is calm and peaceful.
If you don’t get angry immediately when someone gets angry with you, it means you have good control over your emotions.
Being willing to explain after someone gets angry is a sign of being calm, having a clear beginning and an end, having a reason and evidence, knowing when to advance and when to retreat, being sensible, and making decisions when necessary;
When someone is swearing, know to stop them. Do not say anything that is not appropriate. This is the etiquette of a gentleman.
If you feel angry when someone insults your relatives or benefactors, it means you have a clear sense of gratitude and righteousness, a clear bottom line, and are upright.
If you are willing to help others in times of danger after they have angered you, it means you are kind-hearted and know right from wrong.
Being willing to help others find things after their lives are no longer in danger shows that they are gentle, kind, tolerant and helpful..."
The teacher spoke for a while, and then said to Paradise, "Please accept my greeting again."
Leyuan said, "I don't deserve it, teacher. Are you still leaving?"
The teacher smiled and said, "Since you are here, why would you leave so easily? If you want me to go meet your brother now and apologize to him, that's fine."
Leyuan said: "Although my brother is generous by nature and doesn't like to quibble with others, he usually doesn't lose his sense of propriety. If the teacher wants to go, I'm afraid my brother will be angry because he is still angry now."
The teacher smiled and said, "I made a mistake, so it's only right for you to punish me. If you don't get angry later, it's also my good fortune."
Leyuan thought about it and nodded: "In that case, then good, I'm going to take a shower. After I'm done, I'll go find my brother and have some afternoon tea."
If there is afternoon tea, you can have it.
After all, he hadn't had lunch yet.
The teacher nodded and said, "Okay, you go. You have your things to do and I have mine to do. Maybe we can meet again after dinner."
Leyuan said, "Okay, then, if the teacher has time, we can meet and talk in detail."
The teacher nodded.
So they went their separate ways.
The other servants went off to prepare various things for the bath, and Sick Aga followed Le Yuan, looking a little unhappy.
Paradise asked, "Aren't you happy that I have a new teacher?"
Sick Ajia whispered, "But, Master, if the teacher doesn't like you at first, how can he still teach you properly later?"
He curled his lips, and his expression clearly said: I don't think so.
Leyuan smiled and said, "That's the teacher's business. I can't care so much. My brother took me in. If I can learn something useful, it can be regarded as repaying him. The teacher he hired can't be too bad. If this one leaves, he will have to go out and find another one. How troublesome it is and it will take time.
I think that although my brother is rich, he is also very busy. I am really grateful that he still remembers me even though he is so busy. It is better to save him some trouble by not having to worry about such a small matter."
Sick Ajia was a little indignant, tilting his head and asking, "What about the master? Did you forget that the master was dragged into the water by the teacher? Did you forget that the master spent so much time looking for the teacher's shoes in the water? Did you forget that the master was scolded almost all the way? Did you forget that the teacher also lost the adults' things and said bad things about the adults, and the master didn't care? Can you forget it?"
Leyuan didn't know why he was so emotional, and felt a little amused: "Since the teacher said that it was a deliberate test and he has already apologized, why should I care so much? Although it was a little unkind, it was not something I did. What do I have to worry about? Didn't my brother tell me before I went out to find the teacher?
It doesn't matter whether it is found or not. Since it has been found, it saves trouble. What's wrong with that?
Even if it was in front of my brother, the teacher would be willing to thank and apologize. My brother is not a petty person. He will be fine in two days. Who can not get angry when being despised and humiliated? It is human nature to get angry. It is a great virtue to admit mistakes and correct them. The teacher admitted mistakes and corrected them. My brother is also a human being. It is normal for them to get together.
It doesn't matter if there are a few minor frictions. I can mediate. Even if I can't, there are still so many servants.
Even if the servants and I cannot improve the relationship between my brother and the teacher, the worst that can happen is to change the teacher, which is not a big deal. I was able to live without a teacher before, and my previous teacher did not have these things. Now, I just hope that this second teacher can be truly talented and can really teach me well. Otherwise, I will have let down my brother's expectations and what he has suffered for me today.
The teacher doesn't look like someone who cares about these things. If that's the case, with one of them moving forward and the other moving backward, things will be resolved soon. What do I have to worry about?"
Paradise looked at the sick Aga.
Sick Aga muttered, "Master has learned to speak, I can't compare with Master, Master has two teachers, I can't compare with Master, Master also has a brother, I can't persuade Master to change his mind, Master is willing to do that, the rest is none of my business."
Leyuan laughed and said, "I said no one wants to meddle in other people's business, but you really don't want to meddle in other people's business."
Bing Ajia quickly explained: "The master's business is my business, how can it be considered as a side business? I don't think so!"
He could hardly hear his own voice: "Other people's affairs are all private affairs, only the master's affairs are not private affairs."
Leyuan didn't hear clearly and said with a smile: "It's just a joke, don't mind it."
Sick Aga nodded randomly, wanting to get past the topic.
Leyuan suddenly paused. Sick Ajia didn't look carefully and almost bumped into him. He quickly supported Leyuan and asked, "What's wrong?"
Leyuan stumbled and said, "My leg is cramping."
