Chapter 68 Primary School Students Quarrel Primary School Students Quarrel
Liu Xiong felt his legs were weak from riding a horse, so he simply lay on Su Fengzhang's desk and watched him write. It must be said that this man's handwriting was very smooth and flowing, and even if he was doing something as mundane as copying a book, it was pleasing to the eye.
"Ah!" Liu Xiong, who was originally engrossed in watching, screamed in surprise. It was the scholar behind him who pushed him and knocked him backwards, and his face almost fell into the inkstone.
Fortunately, Su Fengzhang intervened and prevented the tragedy from happening, but there was an ink ball on the book he had copied well, and not only that page, but the following pages were also ruined.
Liu Xiong turned around angrily and cursed, "Who pushed me just now?"
The student who bumped into him also looked unhappy. He turned around and cursed, "Lin Changqing, you dare to hit me!"
Liu Xiong ignored their lawsuit and grabbed Mu Wei: "I don't care what lawsuit you have. Look at what good things you have done. Brother Su has been copying this for a long time, and now it's all ruined."
Mu Wei broke free from his hand: "Why? I didn't do it on purpose. Besides, it's just a book. At worst, I can help him copy it."
Liu Xiong, however, was unwilling to let him off so easily: "Who cares about your sloppy handwriting? If you bumped into someone, you should at least apologize first."
Mu Wei pointed at Lin Changqing and said, "This is not my fault. Lin Changqing was the one who started it. He should apologize. Why should I apologize?"
Everyone's eyes fell on Lin Changqing. In the county school, Lin Changqing was considered a maverick. It was said that he was the second in the previous college examination. Normally, with such a result, he could enter the provincial school directly, but he chose to come back like Su Fengzhang.
Su Fengzhang came back mainly because he was worried about his family, and also because of Lord Cai.
Lin Changqing was different. He did not stay in the provincial school purely because his family was poor. In comparison, the conditions in the county school were more relaxed.
Although Su Fengzhang had established good relationships with his classmates in a short period of time and even became a vague leader, this person's interpersonal relationships were not so good. He was taciturn and it would be an exaggeration to say that he was just an acquaintance with others.
Su Fengzhang has been studying in the county school for such a long time, but he has only spoken two sentences to this person, which shows his character.
At this moment, his face was ashen, and he stood there straight with his fists clenched tightly.
Mu Wei continued to scold, "Why are you glaring at me? Do you think hitting someone is justified? If you don't give me an explanation today, we will go to the teacher to argue."
At this time, someone stepped out to smooth things over: "Stop arguing, we are all classmates and friends, why should we ruin the relationship over such a small matter?"
Lin Changqing, contrary to his usual behavior, did not choose to remain silent but instead angrily asked: "Did you damage my book?"
Mu Wei sneered, "Don't slander good people. I only like those tattered books of yours. You broke them yourself and you still blame me for breaking them."
"I put it next to the pillow, how could it break for no reason?" Lin Changqing became more and more angry.
"Who knows how it broke? Maybe you broke it while sleepwalking at night. Humph, I don't mind you grinding your teeth while sleepwalking and it's scary." Mu Wei was not afraid of him at all, and became more and more righteous.
"It must be you, someone saw it!" Lin Changqing said as he looked towards a classmate on the other side.
There were four people living in their room, and that person was one of them. Unfortunately, when facing Lin Changqing's gaze, the man took a step back and pretended not to see it.
Mu Wei was even more proud: "Whoever saw it, let him come out and speak!"
Lin Changqing looked at that person: "Brother Wang?"
But the prince kept saying, "Don't call me, I went to bed early last night and didn't see anything."
He obviously didn't want to offend either side, so he slipped away without hesitation.
Mu Wei seemed to have won a victory and sneered, "Since you have no evidence, apologize immediately. Otherwise, don't blame me for complaining to the teacher. Now I know what it means to be the first to complain."
Before he could finish his words, Lin Changqing rushed forward and punched him. He was not tall and thin, but when he punched with all his strength, he actually made Mu Wei's nose bleed!
Mu Wei felt blood on his hands and screamed, "Blood, how dare you hit me!"
He was not one to suffer a loss, so he lunged forward and started to fight back. The two men started to fight with punches and kicks. The classmates around them did not dare to watch anymore and tried to pull them apart.
Liu Xiong didn't care about being hit anymore and kept shouting, "Stop fighting, stop fighting now, the master will be here soon, and then we will all be in trouble."
Su Fengzhang put his books away and then walked over.
Mu Wei and Lin Changqing seemed to be fighting vigorously, but in fact, both of them were novices. Their attacks were so frenetic that they barely landed any real blows. Some of the classmates who tried to separate them were unlucky and were hit by a few random punches.
Su Fengzhang swung his long arm, grabbed one person's wrist, and separated them directly. Mu Wei was thrown into the hands of several classmates, and Lin Changqing was also held down by him.
Mu Wei was the first to shout, "Su Fengzhang, stop meddling in other people's business. If I don't avenge this today, I won't trust you!"
Su Fengzhang just gave him a cold look and said, "The master will be here soon. If you are not afraid of getting caught, go ahead and continue beating him. Let's see who will be punished in the end."
"I have no interest in, nor do I care about, the truth of the matter, but you all know that fighting in school is a sin. If the teacher interferes, you will be punished regardless of whether you are right or wrong."
"The monthly exam is coming up soon. Aren't you afraid of being disqualified?"
After a few words, they both calmed down. Mu Wei stubbornly shouted, "I wasn't the first one to start."
"Then why not follow your wishes and go find the master now, or go directly to the court and let the county magistrate hear the case."
After hearing this, Mu Wei's face changed. He knew the cause of this incident very well, and naturally knew that he would not get any benefit if he really took it to court.
Su Fengzhang turned to look at Lin Changqing again, "Now that things have come to this, if you want to continue beating him, that's fine, but beating him won't help, and in the end, you'll be the one who gets punished."
After saying this, he let go of Lin Changqing's hand. The latter was still angry, but did not rush over.
Liu Xiong also shouted quickly: "Yes, yes, we've beaten him and scolded him, let's just forget it. If it gets out of hand, it won't benefit anyone, and you don't want to get everyone punished as well, do you?"
Another person said, "A few years ago, there was a fight in the county school, and more than a dozen students were expelled. If you want to fight, go back home and fight again, but don't make any more noise."
It can be heard that they don't actually care about who is right or wrong, they are just worried about how this matter will affect them.
Mu Wei snorted coldly, touched his nose and walked back to his seat.
Lin Changqing took a deep breath and didn't continue to make things difficult for himself, but his eyes were gloomy.
When the instructor in charge of this class walked in, he glanced at the still somewhat messy classroom and his eyes fell on Mu Wei's face: "What happened, Mu Wei, what's wrong with your nose?"
Mu Wei really wanted to complain to the teacher, but Su Fengzhang's words just now woke him up. He knew that making a big fuss would not benefit him, so he could only say, "Sir, it was the student who accidentally bumped into the pillar."
The instructor glanced at the students below him, knowing full well what was going on. However, he didn't ask any further questions. He simply said, "Stop making such a fuss. Be more careful when you walk next time."
After the class ended, Mu Wei immediately stood up and walked out. He snorted coldly when he passed by Lin Changqing. It was obvious that this matter was not over yet.
Lin Changqing looked at him with a cold look. If he hadn't been afraid of being expelled from the county school, he would never have let it go.
"Lin Changqing." Su Fengzhang called out to the person who was walking out of the classroom.
Lin Changqing turned around, but his tone was not so friendly: "What do you think, Mr. Su?"
Su Fengzhang didn't pay attention to the sting in his words and suggested, "I've been revising books myself for years, and I do have some good ideas for revising books. If your book is still available, why not let me take a look?"
Lin Changqing didn't expect him to say that, and was a little hesitant for a moment.
Su Fengzhang took a step forward and said with a smile, "We're all classmates. This is just a piece of cake for me. If you're at ease, let me go and take a look?"
Lin Changqing's lips trembled, and he pursed his lips for a long time before finally speaking: "Then I'll trouble Su Xiucai."
"Mr. Su, please wait a moment. I will go back and get the book." Lin Changqing said.
As soon as he left, Liu Xiong asked in confusion, "Brother Su, why did you help him? This Lin Changqing doesn't get along with anyone in the room. Just now, the two of them ruined your transcript, and not a single one of them apologized."
Su Fengzhang smiled and said, "I heard that Lin Changqing's books were left by his late father, and he treasured them very much. As a scholar, he should not damage books under any circumstances."
"That's true. Mu Wei has gone too far. He is so petty and doesn't seem like a scholar." Liu Xiong said.
Liu Xiong lowered his voice, not knowing what he was thinking. "Brother Su, you probably don't know, but Mu Wei and Lin Changqing are said to be from the same village, and they're said to be related. But the other two students in their room said that they have a very bad relationship. They usually don't even talk to each other, and it's quite awkward."
This is a strange thing. After all, in ancient times, people paid attention to family relationships. Generally speaking, people from the same clan would have closer relationships, so that they could support each other in the future.
Su Fengzhang didn't care much about it and just said, "That's their business. We outsiders don't need to get involved."
Liu Xiong agreed: "I just think they're both weird. One is taciturn and refuses to say a word, while the other is always chattering, wanting everyone to listen to him. But they don't have any skills."
It can be seen that Lin Changqing's interpersonal relationships are average, but Mu Wei's are not much better, just in different directions.
