Chapter 28: Forever Evil
Mr. Qiu assigned homework yesterday, which was to practice writing a large character.
Su Zhizhi remembered Wu Yingniang's advice to complete her homework well, so she filled a sheet of paper carefully.
Moreover, Gu Qingning said that if the teacher found out that you didn’t do your homework, you would be punished.
She and Gu Qingning entered Taoli Hall, took out their homework, and waited for the teacher to check it.
At this time, Zhou Xiaomeng came over with a dish of ink in her hand. When she walked to Su Zhizhi's side, she suddenly lost her balance and splashed all the ink in her hand onto Su Zhizhi's desk.
Su Zhizhi quickly pulled Gu Qingning back to hide, but the ink still splashed on her body.
The practiced calligraphy on the desk had been soaked in ink and turned into a paste, with the dark ink dripping down the edge of the desk.
"Su Zhizhi, why did you trip me just now?"
Zhou Xiaomeng turned the tables, her pointed chin looking like it could poke someone's elbow.
Su Zhizhi picked up a corner of the copybook and saw that the characters on it were all covered by ink, and her original appearance could not be seen clearly.
Su Zhizhi: "I didn't trip you just now. You deliberately spilled the ink and ruined my calligraphy."
Zhou Xiaomeng raised her chin even higher, and her voice became higher:
"Do you have any evidence? Who saw it just now?"
After Zhou Xiaomeng finished speaking, Li Shaoer's laughter sounded from behind:
"We all saw it. It was clearly Su Zhizhi who stretched out her leg and tripped Xiaomeng."
Several other classmates echoed:
"Yes, we can see it clearly."
"Su Zhizhi, you didn't do your homework at all, and you're deliberately making excuses to put the blame on Xiaomeng."
"Hurry up and apologize to Xiaomeng!"
Li Shaoer is only seven years old, but the eyes of a seven-year-old child can also reveal the arrogance of bullying his peers.
She looked at Su Zhizhi provocatively:
If you have the ability, go and tell the Master.
Su Zhizhi glanced at the people present, then turned around and asked Gu Qingning calmly:
"Qing Ning, is this how they bullied you before?"
Gu Qingning held Su Zhizhi's hand, her lips turned white from biting her teeth, and her face lost its color.
She nodded, and tears welled up in her eyes again.
"Zhizhi, there's no point in telling the Master."
Because Li Shaoer and his friends would act like accusers first, pretending to be polite in front of the teacher, and then accusing Gu Qingning of not only not doing his homework, but also lying and slandering his classmates.
In the end, he will only be bullied even more severely by Li Shaoer and others.
Su Zhizhi understood, then walked out the door without saying a word.
Zhou Xiaomeng sneered sarcastically from behind:
"She must have gone crying to find the teacher, hahaha..."
"Wow...so pitiful, hahaha..."
Before she finished laughing, she saw Su Zhizhi rushing in from outside the door, so fast that only a shadow could be seen.
Wow——
Half a bucket of dirty water was poured directly onto Zhou Xiaomeng's desk, and her calligraphy became a mess in an instant.
Zhou Xiaomeng was caught off guard and her dress and shoes were splashed with water.
This bucket of water was used by the servants who cleaned the academy to wash rags. It smelled bad and there was some debris and dust floating in it.
Li Shaoer and others behind him were also shocked.
They had bullied many people, but they had never seen a classmate who dared to throw water at others in school.
Since Zhou Xiaomeng followed Li Shaoer, she has only bullied others and has never been bullied by anyone.
She wiped the water stains on the table with her hands, her eyes red with anger:
"Su Zhizhi, why did you splash water on my table?!"
Su Zhizhi remained calm:
"Now we all have no homework and will be punished."
Zhou Xiaomeng screamed, "You're talking nonsense! I clearly wrote it."
"They can all testify!" Zhou Xiaomeng turned around and looked at Li Shaoer for help.
Li Shaoer recovered from the shock and shouted:
"Yes, we can all testify!"
Su Zhizhi: "It's no use testifying. When the Master comes to check, if there's nothing, then there's nothing."
Zhou Xiaomeng was angry and panicked, and rushed over to catch Su Zhizhi.
But Su Zhizhi looked small but very strong, and kicked Zhou Xiaomeng to the ground with one kick:
"Do you want to fight me?"
Zhou Xiaomeng sat on the ground and burst into tears:
"...Wow...it hurts...I'm going to tell the Master..."
Su Zhizhi saw a piece of clothing appear at the door from the corner of her eye:
"The Master is here, you can file your complaint now."
As soon as Master Qiu walked to the school gate, he heard noisy crying and the room was in chaos.
"What's going on?"
Li Shaoer took the initiative and pointed at Su Zhizhi:
"Master Qiu, Su Zhizhi threw water at someone and kicked them, making Zhou Xiaomeng cry."
Master Qiu frowned, his expression serious:
"Su Zhi, did you splash water just now?"
Su Zhizhi walked up to Master Qiu:
"Master Qiu, I have spilled it, and I will probably spill it again in the future."
Master Qiu: "Why did you throw water on your classmates?"
Su Zhizhi showed her ink-soaked calligraphy to Master Qiu:
"As the ancients said, courtesy is reciprocity. If Zhou Xiaomeng splashed water on me, I would splash water on her. If she wanted to hit me, I would hit her."
"From now on, if anyone bullies me in school again, I will bully them back."
She spoke frankly, without any panic or shame.
She grew up in the mountains. Apart from Kong Wu and Xue Che, she had no other classmates. No one taught her what to do when she was bullied by her classmates.
But Su Zhizhi had seen villagers kill wild animals and catch thieves.
She remembered one truth: whoever stirs up trouble will die.
She even dared to stop the bandits at the foot of the Bandit Mountain, not to mention the children of the same age in front of her.
All the students in the school were stunned.
Master Qiu looked at her intently for a moment and sighed:
"Zhizhi, this is not how the term 'reciprocity' is used.
This is called 'giving someone a taste of their own medicine.'"
Su Zhizhi looked up in confusion.
Master Qiu said to Su Zhizhi and the crying Zhou Xiaomeng with a stern face:
"You all must stand at the door and reflect on your misbehavior today."
"good."
Su Zhizhi dared to take responsibility for her actions. She picked up her things and walked out, not forgetting to pick up the sobbing Zhou Xiaomeng from the ground and drag her out.
Zhou Xiaomeng was obviously half a head taller than Su Zhizhi, but when she struggled, she was no match for Su Zhizhi.
The midday sun is dazzling.
The plaque of Taoli Hall was brightly illuminated.
Standing under the plaque were Su Zhizhi, who was full of fighting spirit, and Zhou Xiaomeng, who looked like she was crying.
Zhou Xiaomeng complained softly:
"Su Zhizhi, we won't let you go. We have more people, and we also have Li Shaoer. You'll cry one day."
Su Zhizhi squinted at her:
"Then I won't let you go either. There are more people in our village, and we have eagles, snakes, tigers, poisonous mushrooms and insects. Any one of them can kill you."
Zhou Xiaomeng's mouth corners drooped and she started crying again out of fear.
The sound of reading came from inside the door.
The students are still reading "Papaya" aloud:
"If you throw me a peach, I will repay you with a jade. It's not a reward, but a token of our everlasting friendship."
"Give me a wooden plum, and I will repay you with a jade pine. It's not a reward, but a token of our everlasting friendship..."
Gu Qingning quietly handed Su Zhizhi a small piece of candy by the window while the teacher wasn't paying attention.
"Zhizhi, you are so amazing."
She lip-synced silently, her eyes full of admiration.
Su Zhizhi took the candy and put it in her pocket, then looked up at the petals falling from the peach tree at the door.
Petals flew into her hair, and she shook her head and composed a poem:
"If you throw ink at me, I will respond with dirty water. This is not just a reward, but a permanent hatred."
