Chapter 13 Can't change her, then shine on her

Let's start by guessing a person: A sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, an orphan, has been living among the scum since she was a child. Her master is the big boss among the villains, and her classmates are all scum and villains. She is best at killing each other. She herself was forced to learn The ability to poison and release Gu, kill people and silence them.Who do you think this is in Jin Yong's novel? "I know Liushen, it's Ah Zi!" For this answer, I can only give 50 points, because another answer is missing: Cheng Lingsu. There is an old movie called "Four Hundred Blows", which is a masterpiece of the French New Wave.At first glance, you might think it’s an adult movie, but in fact, this movie is about delinquent boys. A French proverb is used: a bad boy needs to be beaten four hundred times before he can learn well, which is roughly equivalent to our "a dutiful boy is born under a stick" ".

A Zi grew up in the Xingxiu school, and she was beaten far more than four hundred times, maybe eight hundred or one thousand times, but she became an outstanding representative of bad girls in Jin Yong's novels, and is also a classic in the history of modern literature. Bad girl image. When it comes to her bad studies, we always tend to think of one explanation: the environment she grew up in was too bad, the school she attended was too rubbish, and her classmates were too top-notch, so it’s no wonder she didn’t learn bad things.The school she went to - Xingxiu Martial Arts and Chemistry Advanced School, was designed to train thugs, and the courses offered were all about murder, poisoning, etc., teaching anything immoral.For example, the old fairy's martial art "Rotting Corpse Poison" is a proper bacterial weapon!

Moreover, the school rules of this school are too appalling, specifically advocating cannibalism: What if you want to be a class cadre?Kill classmates - kill the study committee member, you are the school committee member, kill the class monitor, you are the class monitor, and the teacher will praise you.It is estimated that the school song of this school is "cooking beans and burning beans"? And look at her classmates, those picking stars and lion roars, they all don't look like characters in chivalrous novels, but monsters in novels. , Pingdingshan, and Pingdingshan are all No. 1 characters, and they can completely overwhelm those little drillers who only know "My lord, it's a disaster! It's a disaster!".Mixing with these classmates every day, can a little girl learn well?

From this we came to the conclusion: Ah Zi became a bad girl because the environment was too bad. But this is difficult to explain another question: Why did Cheng Lingsu learn it well? Cheng Lingsu's growth environment was very similar to Ah Zi's - it was a bad school with a bunch of bad classmates.Her school conditions were poor, and the food in the cafeteria was poor, which left her with sparse yellow hair, stunted growth, and a sallow face.The most important thing is that her school, like Ah Zi's, is a gang of well-known villains, and they are also very good at playing poison, which can make Xiao Feng and Miao Renfeng, the strongest armed forces in their respective eras, frown upon hearing this .

Cheng Lingsu's uncles and brothers are also a group of standard scumbags. Compared with the simple and rough evil in the Xingxiu School, they have a more sinister ghostly aura.If Ah Zi’s brothers acted in Warcraft movies, then Cheng Lingsu’s brothers acted in ghost movies: For example, her teacher uncle Shi Wan'an, who has an impressive record and has a glorious deed of poisoning the hero Hu Yidao; her senior sister Xue Que, senior brother Jiang Tieshan and Murong Jingyue, can be called the most chaotic triangle relationship in Jin Yong's novels: Seduce Murong—Xue kills Murong’s wife—Murong beats Xue—Xue marries Jiang—Murong hooks up with Xue—Murong and Xue kill Jiang—Xue makes Murong kill his own son...isn’t it Exciting and overwhelmed?Is Cheng Lingsu's class even scarier than Ah Zi's?

In almost exactly the same environment, Cheng Lingsu grew up to be the complete opposite of Ah Zi: kind, benevolent, tolerant, never killing innocent people indiscriminately, with a sound mind, why? The only explanation is that Cheng Lingsu has a master—the Poison Hand Medicine King. The growth of a little girl is sometimes not guided by those things that are true, good, and beautiful, but by another word—"cool".She may not agree with the kindest and most beautiful, but she often envies and pursues the coolest one. Imagine this scene: Our little girl Cheng Lingsu has reached puberty.She was sitting in the classroom, staring at her big black eyes, ignorantly looking for all the novel and cool things.

The female classmate Xue Que came to tell her: being a bad girl is the coolest, being the third or fourth is the coolest, who can call the annoying female rival to the toilet to slap her face, feed blood steamed buns, strip her naked and beat her, and even give her a circumcision coolest. The male classmate Murong Jingyue told her: Fighting in the street is the coolest, it is coolest to have a few brothers who have squatted in the classroom outside, it is the coolest to throw the enemy into the pit and fill it with soil, and then sit on the side and play the harmonica. Another male classmate, Jiang Tieshan, told her: It's coolest to make money, and it's coolest to collect protection fees from students in dormitories one by one.

Amidst all the noisy voices, our little girl Cheng Lingsu did not learn bad things.Because in front of her, there is always the lonely, skinny but incomparably stalwart back of the Poisonous Hand Medicine King.He always seemed to be silently saying: Girl, don't trust these things.Let me tell you, being a top student is the coolest. With his completely overwhelming professional ability, he made Cheng Lingsu's uncles and senior brothers pale in comparison: You guys also claim to be playing poison, whether you kill Matt, EMO, or Goth, The business was crushed by the old monk without any suspense, blowing your ten streets, you are cool.

On the podium, Yao Wang is not a good teacher.Reading the original work, I always feel that his words are a bit long-winded, not concise enough, and not good at educating people.For example, when he solved the love triangle of his apprentices, the effect was very poor. "No matter how he taught the lesson, the three of them went back and forth and were always entangled." Yao Wang's influence on Cheng Lingsu is not in teaching, but in two other aspects: one is his own super academic level.He made Cheng Lingsu stand up high and admire him extremely.For example, Hu Fei praised Cheng Lingsu for his good medical skills, and Cheng Lingsu replied: "What is that? If you see my master's ability to disembowel and disembowel people, and reattach bones and limbs, that is called a magic skill."

This is the respect and admiration from the bottom of my heart. I feel that there is a monument in front of me, and I have nothing to praise, so I can only work hard.This scene is also familiar in Jin Yong’s other books—for example, in Jinlun Fawang, Zhou Botong, Dongxie, and Nandi are well-deserved, and Zhou Botong sneers: "If my senior brother is alive, how can you catch his ten moves?" The second is to lead by example with a generous personality.Poisonous Hand Medicine King used to be called "big anger" in Dharma, and had a violent temper. Later, his cultivation level became deeper and deeper, and he saw things more and more clearly, and gradually changed it to "one anger" and "slight anger". Until the last three years of his life, he Finally changed the name to "Wu'an" and realized the true Great Enlightenment Consummation.

His grandeur and magnanimity are the source of Cheng Lingsu's benevolent and tolerant character.Like some great scholars, you often learn more from him than from his lecture notes. Yao Wang failed to change Cheng Lingsu's teacher's environment, but with his own light, he became the beacon of her life.For a girl, instead of teaching her, sometimes it is better to shine on her. Of course, things like lighthouses should not appear too early, nor too late.Ah Zi also met the lighthouse of life——Xiao Feng later, but it was too late, she was already sixteen or seventeen years old, her character was formed, and she had already learned all the unique skills of the Xingxiu School.Cheng Lingsu was more fortunate. The time when the poisonous hand medicine king changed her name to Wu'an, her temperament and temperament were at their best, happened to be thirteen or fourteen years old, which was the critical age for developing her character. But either way, leading by example is key.You just went to the street to kill people, and you came home with a knife that dripped blood, and you told your son not to learn from me, is it possible?An acquaintance once asked me: Why doesn't my child like reading, and no amount of education is useless.I said that in your house, apart from condom instructions and mahjong tiles, can you find anything with words on it?How dare you ask her to study!
