Chapter 7 child fighting

It is inevitable for children to be stubborn for a while, but the pain is forgotten after the scar is healed. Although Ah Man and Qi Shu got closer emotionally, Cao Yin's requirements for his nephew became more and more strict.All children in the world are playful, not to mention he was used to indulgence in the past.After that incident, Cao Yin couldn't bear to beat him again.Whenever Ah Mo memorized the book so that the donkey's lips didn't match the horse's mouth, Cao Yin was so angry that he raised the ruler in the air and put it down, put it down and then raised it up again. Kneel down!"

Cao Yin couldn't bear to fight any more, so he knelt down as a punishment.And this punishment to kneel is the thing that A Man doesn't care about the most.Once upon a time in Luoyang, whenever he made a mistake, his father would ask him to kneel in the courtyard and reflect.Ah Man has caused a lot of big and small troubles since he was a child, and being punished to kneel has become a common occurrence. At the most frequent time, he can be punished four times a day. After kneeling for a while, he finds a way to coax his father to smile and then gets up again. Just keep going.Now Cao Yin punished him to make him concentrate on his studies, but Ah Man knelt there with the bamboo slips in his arms and pretended to be, shaking his head and reading with relish, but in fact he had gone to Yelang country long ago.

In the afternoon of this day, Ah Man was punished to kneel again, and he was still spending time in the courtyard with his books in his hands without any effort.Cao Yin had seen this kind of virtue a lot in the past two months, and he didn't bother to get angry with him anymore, so he just lay down in the study and took a nap to see who could wear out who else.Ah Meng originally hoped to kneel down for a while, find an opportunity to amuse Uncle Seven, and then get up.But there was no movement for nearly half an hour. Stretching his neck and looking into the main room, he found that Uncle Qi had fallen asleep, so he breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the ground to rest.When he was bored, the more he sat, the sleepier he became, his eyelids became sticky, he simply threw the letter aside, leaned against the corner of the wall in the shade, and dozed off in a daze.

Just when he seemed to be sleeping but not sleeping, he only felt a pain on his forehead.Ah Man was startled, he expected Uncle Qi to move the ruler, but when he opened his eyes, he saw no one around, a small stone was spinning on the ground.Look again, a chubby child is whistling at him on the opposite courtyard wall.Ah Man recognized that he was Cao Chi's son and brother Cao Ren. "Hey! Come here!" Seeing him yelling, Ah Man quickly wiped his neck to signal him to lower his voice, crept to the bottom of the wall, and lowered his voice: "Don't scream, Uncle Qi is asleep."

"I have something to do with you! Come with me." Cao Ren pawed at the wall. "what's up?" "Military and national affairs." Cao Ren had a serious look on his face. "I'm punished to kneel here, I can't do without it. If I go out with you, I will be beaten again. You go home first, and I will find you later." "I don't have time to waste my words with you. Come with me quickly. Those bastards from Xiahou's family want to rob us of that precious land. They say they fight brothers, and you are one of them. If you don't go, you can't do it!"

"So you asked me to help you?" Ah gave him a blank look, "This kind of thing reminds me of me. I don't know them well, so I don't want to go." "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up! I'm afraid they've already started." After saying this, Aman couldn't help saying that he pulled his arm and pulled him towards the wall, "If you don't leave, I will yell loudly." Aman There was no way to disturb Qi Shu, so I had to follow him over the wall and staggered to run after him. The "treasure land" that Cao Ren mentioned is actually a small slope on the west side of his yard. Across a small river is Xiahou's field. No matter the wasteland.Just because there are three ancient locust trees on the slope, the children always like to climb on the trees to play, and over time it became the territory of the Cao family boys.But now, the children of Xiahou's family on the other side of the river are about to kill them.

A Man followed Cao Ren to the place to have a look, and it was really lively: the older ones were thirteen or fourteen, the younger ones were seven or eight years old, and all the children from every family in the clan came, holding stones, wooden sticks, and door-to-doors in their hands. Gang, one by one guarding the slope with serious faces.Looking over the river, all the brothers of Xiahou's family have also arrived, tall ones, short ones short, fat ones, and thin ones.Seeing that there are already "two battles against each other", a "big battle" is about to break out.

The children of Xiahou's family are headed by Xiahouyuan and Xiahoulian.Although Xia Houyuan was only eleven years old, he was tall and tall, and he played around outside since he was a child. He was tanned and stood out in the crowd, which was very conspicuous.Xiahou Lian was the shortest one, not to mention his young age, he was not forgiving, and yelled at the other side of the river: "You said it was your family's land, you call that big locust tree, look at it Will you answer me? I said it was our land! Anyway, the land on the slope is deserted and there is no title deed, whoever can occupy it will be the one. You Cao family boys withdraw immediately, or don’t blame us for being rude. "

Among the children on this side of the river, Cao Hong was the least troublesome kid.His father died early, and he lived with his uncle Cao Ding.Cao Ding was careless by nature, and he didn't discipline Cao Hong. Later, he became an official in Yangzhou, so this kid was left alone to herd the sheep.He heard Xia Houlian say that, how could he give up, and cursed: "Go away, you motherfucker! Young master, I have been playing here since Luocao, and I pissed on the three-thirds of an acre of land. This is already my fault." It’s from the Cao family! If you have the guts, you little bastard, come over and let’s make gestures to see whose arm is thicker!” He said and raised his fist.When they yelled like this, the children on both sides started booing, and it turned into cursing across the river.

Ah Man advocates calming things down, and hearing these rural children yelling nonsense from their parents, grandparents, and grandmothers, it really feels shameful.I intend to invite the children of Xiahou's family to come over, and we will play together in the future.But he had only returned to his hometown for a few days, and Cao Ren and Cao Hong were the leaders of the Cao family children, so no one would listen to him interrupting his speech.The children on both sides became more and more stiff with scolding, and finally Xia Houyuan let go of his voice and shouted: "Stop talking nonsense! What's the point of bickering? It doesn't matter whose land it is, we want it anyway, if you are not convinced, let's do it!"

Don't look at the yelling loudly. When it comes to fighting the Cao family's children, they still can't do it. They are somewhat timid, and they look at Cao Ren noncommittally.Cao Ren gritted his teeth and said, "Bah! A man can die before the battle and not die after the battle. It's better to be beaten to death than to scare them to death." "Yes!" Cao Hong took over, "Why should we give up our place to these bastards? Follow me! Beat the fuck!" This voice caused trouble, and in an instant, there was a pot on both sides of the river, killing seven, slaughtering eight, and stabbing ninety-nine behind the door, all kinds of things called stones, tiles, jujube sticks, etc. "Weapon" raised it and rushed forward.Some swung sticks and just punched regardless of Qinghong, some picked up single exercises that were not pleasing to the eye on weekdays, some ran around looking for cheap ones and specialized in Taiping boxing, and some saw the situation was not good and wanted to back off and stumble.At the beginning, it looked good, but then they all rolled into the river. It didn't matter if there were guys in the crowded crowd, and they all gave up their hands. Bite with your mouth.The stones in the river were slippery, and these children dragged me, I dragged them, and they turned over in a big piece. They didn't care about rolling in mud and choking on a few sips of water, so they managed to get up and continue gesticulating. After all, the Cao family is an official family, and less than half of the children are educated. It can't be compared to Xiahou's family who came from a peasant household. After a long time, they gradually became overwhelmed.The children of Xiahou's family became more and more energetic, especially Xiahouyuan, who rushed forward and swung his fist like a small hammer, and he just slid when he was hit.Not long after, most of the Cao family's children were driven to the east bank, leaving only Cao Ren and Cao Hong still churning in the river. In the end Cao Ren saw that everyone had broken up, so he fled ashore with the "remnant soldiers and defeated generals" in embarrassment.Complacent, Xia Houlian was the first to jump up to the big locust tree: "We won! This place will belong to our Xiahou family from now on! Cao family boy, you are not allowed to come here again!" The children of Cao's family gathered together again with their eyebrows hanging, their heads downcast, and muddy water. Some had bruised foreheads, some had torn clothes, some were covered in mud, and some were really young with shallow eye sockets and kept wiping away tears.Cao Hong still couldn't accept it: "You bastards, why don't you want to work hard? If things go on like this, they little bastards will have to pee under our wall? That's okay!" "I haven't worked hard yet, I beat them both!" "Three of them hit me..." "My teeth are already working." "My cheeks are swollen." "After today and tomorrow, let's wait and see..." All the children were whining and complaining, but they saw Ah Man standing beside him covering his mouth and laughing, his clothes were clean without even a wrinkle. Seeing him laughing so hard, Cao Hong rushed forward and asked, "Ah, you're still laughing, where did you go just now?" "I'm squatting behind a tree." Ah Man said with a smile. "You..." Cao Hong raised his fist and was about to hit him.Cao Ren stopped him right away, he was careful, Ah Man is the eldest grandson of Cao Teng, the pillar of the Cao family, and his father Cao Song is the adopted son, so there is some kindness in it: "Hong Er, you are not allowed to fight with your brother. If you have the ability to fight with Xiahouyuan, don't fight in the nest here... Man, tell me how you are? You are older than us in terms of age, and you are more knowledgeable than us. Although we didn't grow up together with bare buttocks , then you can’t watch your brothers being beaten? Even if you stretched out a punch and kicked a leg, it’s not in vain, my brothers.” "Is it worth the fuss for a piece of land?" Cao Ren looked serious: "A piece of wasteland is nothing, but how many generations of our family have grown up on the big locust tree! Isn't your father the same? If the boys from Xiahou's family snatch it Now, do we still have face?" Ah Man was taken aback, he didn't expect this small place of play to have such a great significance. "Ah Man, if you have the guts, take the brothers tomorrow and beat them up, let's take the territory back!" Cao Hong raised his voice again. Unexpectedly, Ah Man shook his head in anger and said, "Look at that Xiahouyuan is tall and big, his arms and thighs are several times thicker than ours, can he beat us? I won't go to such thankless things. made." "Soft, bah!" Cao Hong gave him a hard look. Ah Man laughed and said: "If you have strength, use your strength. If you are weak, let's use your wisdom. Don't worry, this matter is on my shoulders, and I must find a way to take this place back." After finishing speaking, the brothers left behind and looked at each other. , and hurried home. But it was too late to hurry, Cao Yin woke up early, and was walking around waiting for him at the gate of the courtyard holding a ruler.Brother Xiahou beat him up and hid him, but Uncle Qi couldn't escape the beating in front of him no matter what.A Man had no choice but to shyly rub his face in front of Cao Yin, and deliberately changed the subject: "Uncle Qi, you are awake... I see that you are asleep, I should put some clothes on you, Ren'er came to me, and I was in a hurry Just forget about it!" "Stop talking nonsense, what clothes are you wearing on a hot day?" After saying that, he grabbed Ah Man's hand and hit him. Every time he hits, Ah Man yells, the louder the yell, the most annoying thing is that he still yells out high and low tones: "Ouch... ah... ah... ah... ah... " "What's wrong with you? Don't bark!" Cao Yin also thought it was ridiculous, and before he knew it, half of his anger had disappeared, and he just kept a straight face. "You hurt my nephew, can my nephew stop screaming?" "Don't scream even if it hurts." "Don't you feel sorry for your nephew like this? If you break your nephew, how can you explain to my father?" "Stop talking nonsense with me!" Cao Yin gave another two slaps without taste, seeing that the beatings with a hippie smile didn't work, so he threw the ruler, "Go, go! Don't get in my eyes here, Go back home and study." As if meeting an amnesty, Ah Mo jumped into the courtyard, picked up the slips, but still put on a show, his head was full of stones, sticks, and jujube sticks.He was absent-minded enough to eat, and after a few mouthfuls in a daze, he lay down in his room, thinking about taking back the territory.It is easy to say that it is powerful to make power but weak to make wisdom, but what should we do? Cao Yin could see that this kid had something on his mind. If it was a normal day, he would have gone somewhere to drill sand after dinner.When I had nothing to do, I came to his bed: "Little devil, what are you thinking about?" "It's nothing..." Ah Man turned around, how could they tell the adults about brothers fighting?After thinking for a while, he lowered his head and asked, "Uncle Qi, do you know how to fight?" "War?" Cao Yin was a little surprised, "I have never been on a battlefield, but I can read the art of war, "Three Strategies", "Six Secret Teachings", "Sima Law", and Sun Wuzi's thirteen chapters." art of war!A Man's eyes lit up, and he sat up: "Uncle Qi, do you have a book on the art of war?" "I have a set of thirteen chapters by Sun Wuzi in my study." "Show me." Amanhan said with a smile. "No!" Cao Yin is such a smart person, he expected him to go out for half a day, and now he wants to see the art of war for no reason, so there must be something hidden, so he sneered, "Where are you going with Cao Ren in the afternoon?" gone?" "I didn't go anywhere, I just played for a while." "Did you fight with someone?" A Man didn't say yes or no, he just asked: "Does the Art of War say what to do if your own people can't beat them?" Cao Yin made up his mind and deliberately showed off Guan Zi: "The weather, the right place, and the harmony of people are all in these art of war. If you study hard, you will understand. How difficult is it to defeat the strong with the weak?" "Then show it to your nephew." "That's impossible! I never show books like the Art of War to others, unless..." Cao Yin rolled his eyes. "Unless what?" "Unless you learn the book I taught you well first, I will show it to you." Ah Man's eyes were red: "Uncle Qi, you are wrong! You are threatening." "Whatever you say, I don't have the same knowledge as you." Cao Yin snickered in his heart, finally grabbed Ah Man's little tail, and pretended to be serious, "You don't even know how to memorize the art of war? How can you be qualified to read the art of war? Dangerous books can teach people to learn well, or they can tempt people to learn badly, so it’s not okay to show them to you. Besides, who knows what you want to learn those things for, if it’s just for fighting, I can’t show you.” A Man hurriedly changed his smiling face: "Uncle Seven, my nephew will study hard from tomorrow, you should show him first." "Don't even think about it!" Cao Yin walked to the door, turned around and repeated, "Unless you learn the book I taught you well first." After speaking, he left. Knowing that it would be useless to beg him again, Ah Man had an idea, and lay down and closed his eyes for a nap.He put on a show and snored from time to time, ignoring any noise outside, making the family think he was asleep.It took almost two hours like this.He waited until the sun set, the sky was dark, and there was no movement in the yard, then he got up, looked for an oil lamp, and tiptoed to Qi Shu's study.He thought that Uncle Qi must have fallen asleep at this moment, and took advantage of the fact that no one was in the study to steal the thirteen chapters of Sun Wuzi to read.Unexpectedly, as soon as the door was pushed open and the room was pitch black, before he could move his legs, he felt a slap on the back of the head. "Boy, are you awake?" "Seventh Uncle, you haven't rested yet?" Ah Man asked with a silly face. "I'm resting so that you can steal the book?" Cao Yin said with a smile, "How can you hide this little trick from me? I tell you clearly, I have locked up the thirteen chapters of Sun Wuzi, don't worry about it anymore, go back sleep." Ah Mo gave up, sat down on the threshold, and sighed: "Hey...why are you so serious with my nephew?" Cao Yin put his hands behind his back and said happily: "I didn't say that you can't show the art of war. I said that as long as you read the book I taught you well, I will let you read it, and I am willing to explain it to you." "Then when will we wait..." Ah Mo had a bitter face. Cao Yin saw that he had squeezed him enough to look at him, so he thought for a while and said: "Well, as long as you recite the book carefully, I will explain to you a paragraph every day, so that we will not be delayed. What do you think?" "real?" "When did I lie to you?" "It's hard to chase after a gentleman's words." A Man jumped up, "You can't forget what you said." "Of course you mean what you say. You memorize the "Zihan Chapter" first, and I will let you read the first volume." "Okay! But you have to give my nephew a high five!" "What's so difficult about that?" Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!The clear high-fives of uncles and nephews suddenly came from the dark courtyard, disturbing the dreams of others... Cao Yin had a good night's sleep that night, and finally found a way to make Ah Man concentrate on studying.He felt that if this kid worked hard, he would be able to finish "Zihan Chapter" within three days.Unexpectedly, before the sun rose the next day, Ah Mo pulled him up from the bed and recited it word for word! Cao Yin was really shocked, looking at his slightly sleepy eyes: So this kid stayed up all night and forced to memorize it, but it was too fast! A Man took one hand: "The memorization is over. You can bring "Sun Wuzi"." "You..." Cao Yin really didn't know what to say. "You can give me a high-five as an oath, you can't break your promise!" "For a volume of the Art of War, you actually put so much effort into it." A Man shook his little head and smiled, "That's natural! Boss me with words, ask me to be courteous, I can't stop!" Cao Yin was even more surprised: These few words were said by Yan Yuan in "Zihan Chapter".Thinking of this, he couldn't help but casually quoted the original words of Confucius in "Zihan Chapter", rubbed his sleepy eyes and said: "The future generations are awesome, how can you know that the future is not like the present!"
