Chapter 8 small test

In less than a month, Ah Man has read all thirteen articles by Sun Wuzi.Of course, by the way, he also memorized the whole book by heart.Cao Yin found out that this kid learned two books at the same time, and he could go side by side, which was really extraordinary, so he simply explained to him all the profound meanings of the art of war that he understood. Finally on this day, Ah Man threw the bamboo slips onto the desk, and said with a smile, "Seventh Uncle, I've finished studying "Sun Wuzi" so-so, Master said, 'First follow the words, and then follow them', what should I do if I don't have to? I've already made an appointment with Ren'er, Hong'er and the others, and I'm going to try it today!"

Although Cao Yin didn't know exactly who he was going to deal with after he learned it, he had already guessed pretty well, and bent down to look at this clever ghost: "You can't mess around, can you tell me what it is for? "After all, he has a scholarly temperament and will not force a child. Ah Man shook his head: "That's not allowed! You need to keep this matter from your lord. Just rest assured, Uncle Qi, my nephew will not do anything excessive." "Oh? Since it's not too much, why can't you tell me?" "Seventh Uncle!" Ah Man blinked, "Did you keep secrets from your elders when you were young? For example, you ran out to play secretly."

"I have it too." Cao Yin replied awkwardly. "Then my uncle doesn't know?" "This..." Cao Yin didn't expect Ah Man to ask such a question. After a moment of silence, he couldn't help sighing, "Sometimes those who are children fool the elders, how can the elders not know? Now that I have become an elder, I should also learn to be fooled by children Ah... that's all! You go, don't cause trouble." Ah Man bowed and bid farewell to his uncle.After leaving the door, he hurriedly recruited urchins from various families in the clan, and ordered the strategies he had already thought up one by one.All the children called Miao to prepare, but Aman only brought Cao Ren, Cao Hong and seven others to the big locust tree to provoke.

On the original territory of the Cao family's children, Xiahou Lian was playing hide-and-seek with his brothers, and was playing vigorously when suddenly a stone hit him on the head.He let out an ouch, looked around, and saw some of the fiercest boys of the Cao family walking over. "Hey! Brats, should you make room?" Cao Hong laughed. Xia Houlian knew that he couldn't provoke him alone, but he still refused to talk softly: "The tone is not small, try to touch me, if you dare to touch me, I will ask Brother Yuan'er to beat you all to the ground, and then you will all be killed." ...Ouch!" Before he finished speaking, Cao Hong flicked his head.

"If you have the ability, call the big guy! Let me tell you, we have borrowed this place from you for more than half a month, and now we don't want to borrow it anymore. If you have the guts, call Xiahouyuan and the others, let's try to fight again, and see if I don't peel it off. off your skin!" "Hmph! The surname is Cao, you wait and see!" Xiahou Lian covered his head and left. Cao Ren who was beside him was really sorry for him.Xia Houlian played with his mouth and gnawed at the mud, looked back at everyone, burst into tears, rubbed his eyes and ran across the river, and the other children also slipped away when they saw that the situation was not good.

Xia Houlian was only eight years old, and he couldn't beat the older Cao family children at all. Normally, he was protected by a powerful elder brother, so naturally no one dared to mess with him.Today, for no reason, he was beaten in the head by Cao Hong, and tripped over by Cao Ren. The big one bullied the small ones, many people bully the few, how could he not be wronged?Back at his manor, he cried and yelled, shouted from door to door, and went to Xia Houyuan to explain it with embellishment.The gang of boys usually heard that fighting was sweeter than eating bee droppings, so in a short while they gathered around twenty of them, and rushed to the river in a hurry.

When I got to the place, I saw that there was only Ah Mo alone.Xia Houyuan couldn't hold his breath for a long time: "Did you beat our Brother Lian'er?" Ah Man pointed to his nose and shouted, "It's me!" "I see your eyes are very strange, what's your name?" "I don't want to change my name if I'm going or not, my name is Cao Cao." "Bah! See if we won't beat you to the ground!" Xia Houyuan said and waved for everyone to come on. "Wait!" Ah Man waved his hand, "It's not okay for so many of you to beat me up! Big man, your name is Xia Houyuan, isn't it? How about we meet one-on-one?"

Seeing that he was short and his arms were not too strong, Xia Houyuan grinned and said, "Okay! You can't blame me for asking for trouble." After saying that, he stopped the brothers and waded to the middle of the river alone.Seeing that Ah Man slowly walked up to him, he just raised his fist with enough strength, but he saw Ah Man holding his head and turned around and ran away.This escape made Brother Xiahou laugh out loud.After a moment of surprise, Xia Houyuan also laughed, and smiled, only to feel that his eyes were sticky and black, and he rubbed them with his hands—it turned out that A Man threw mud all over his face.It's fine if you run away, but wouldn't it be annoying to secretly plot against him?Xia Houyuan yelled angrily: "Don't run, you bastard!" Then he chased after him.Seeing this Cao Cao fled under the tree, Xia Hou caught up, but before he could make a move, he felt two figures descending from the sky, and a big fishing net was already covering him.

It turned out that A Man deliberately lured him to the tree. Cao Ren and Cao Hong hid among the dense branches and leaves with big nets.When Xia Houyuan arrived, the two brothers jumped down and covered him with a big net, and then several other children who were hiding in the tree also climbed down with ropes in their mouths.Although Xia Houyuan was very strong, he couldn't stretch his hands and feet in the net. Four or five opponents rushed forward and tied him tightly without any effort. The other brothers of Xiahou's family were still laughing so hard that they couldn't breathe just now, seeing the sudden change, they hurried over to save them.As soon as they stepped into the river, they saw a large group of Cao's children rushing out from behind the locust tree and among the grass. Before they could make a move, their eyes were blurred.It turned out that Ah Man had a different sect beforehand, and the brothers who were in ambush each held two handfuls of fine sand.Waiting for the Xiahou family boy to rush to the middle of the river, throw the sand out to confuse their eyes.This hand really worked, the boys of Xiahou's family were blinded, they couldn't fight any more, they panickedly stopped and rubbed their eyes.Unexpectedly, the more you knead on one side, the more he scatter on the other side. You can't see anything, so you have to bend down to cover your head, and scoop up the river water under your feet to wash.

Now it's a big loss! Ah Mo had already figured this out, and when they bent down, Ah Mo yelled: "Come on!" Cao's children rushed into the river in groups, grabbed their hair buns and pressed them into the water vigorously. . Although the Xiahou boys were powerful, but they couldn't open their eyes, they felt the back of their heads sinking, and when Fang wanted to shout, he was held down and drank a big mouthful of water.He raised his head violently, just coughed out, and then poured in the second mouthful! Seeing the children of the Cao family riding on their necks and tossing their heads for a while, Ah Man was also afraid of causing trouble, so he hurriedly shouted: "I think they are almost drunk, let go!" After clapping their hands and cheering, those unlucky ones crawled to the shore staggeringly, each of them was stuffed into a round belly, fell on the ground and vomited, and could no longer shake their fists.

Cao Hong flicked Xia Houyuan's forehead back, and said with a smile, "Big man, are you convinced?" Xia Houyuan's face was purple with anger, he gritted his teeth and said, "Despicable! Shameless! Villain! Bastard..." He said all the bad words he could think of. Ah Mo patted his forehead and smiled: "Soldiers, deceitful way! There is a saying in Sun Wuzi's "Terrain" that 'I will live in the pass shape first, and I will fill it up to wait for the enemy' How can you be undefeated?" "What the hell? Fighting is not allowed to make trouble!" Xia Houyuan had never studied, so naturally he didn't understand what he said. Cao Ren, Cao Hong and others stretched out their thumbs and praised, "Ah Man, you are amazing!" "Brother Hong'er, am I still weak?" "Whoever dares to underestimate you from now on, I will be the first to say no!" Cao Hong patted his chest. Ah Man is swaying his little head unhurriedly, carrying the art of war: "The way of the earth is the way of the earth, and it must be observed..." "Listen, Xiahou family boys!" Cao Ren shouted, "We have captured Xiahouyuan! As long as you promise to return this place to us, I will let him go. If you don't return...we will...we will..." There is nothing they can do if they don't return it, but we still have to scare them. Cao Ren really didn't know what to say. He scratched his head and thought about it, "If you don't pay it back, hum! We'll cut our hearts open!" He thought that everyone could tell that this was a big lie, but he just believed it!Xiahou Lian is young, and just now he called a group of brothers to take revenge, but he himself has been standing on the other side without moving.Seeing that all the elder brothers were poured with water, they were already dumbfounded, and when they heard that elder brother Yuan'er's heart was going to be taken away, they burst into tears in fright, ran away holding their heads in their noses and tears. A Man's original intention was to try a trick, and he felt that the trouble was almost over.After Cao Ren and others had suffered Xia Houyuan's loss, they naturally quit. The brothers sang and danced around the immobile Xia Houyuan, sometimes flicking his head.Xia Houyuan held his breath, but now he couldn't even move, he could only grit his teeth and glared at them.The children of Cao's family also became more and more noisy, and some naughty boy had smeared his face with mud again. "Stop!" At this moment, a cry was heard, and a white horse came running far away across the river.There were two people on board immediately, the one in front was Xia Houlian whose face was covered with tears, and the one behind was holding the reins by a young man.The man was about thirteen or fourteen years old, similar to Ah Man, with a fair face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a slightly snub nose, and although he was dressed in commoner clothes, he was strict and clean, completely different from the other brothers of the Xiahou family. Ah Man was surprised in his heart, and suddenly felt that all the brothers around him stopped talking and became silent.Looking back, everyone's expressions have changed and they kept retreating. Even Cao Hong, who has always been disobedient, showed fear on his face. "No, we have caused trouble!" Cao Ren frowned. "Who is he?" "The only student in Xiahou's family is Xiahou Dun, the older brother of that kid Xiahou Lian." "Is it great?" "He, he...he killed someone before!" Stuttered someone who didn't know. Ah Man was also taken aback, and hurriedly asked Cao Ren: "Kill someone? Isn't there any law? Is he allowed to do something foolish?" "You don't know, this Xiahoudun studied with a poor gentleman in the county. Someone insulted his teacher, and he killed him in a fit of anger. The county general cherished his loyalty, so he didn't add any crime. He usually You study well, you don’t want to hang out here at all, why did you get moved here today?” When Cao Ren said this, his fear was greatly reduced, but instead he became respectful.Seeing that although Xiahou Dun was not very old, he was extremely skilled in equestrian skills. He galloped with his younger brother and pulled the reins violently to the river.The big white horse let out a long hiss, raised its front hooves to a height of six feet, swayed three times and finally stabilized itself.He didn't say anything, but this action alone scared many brothers of the Cao family back four or five steps.Seeing that they had nothing to fear, the children of Xiahou's family who had been dispersed gathered again in twos and threes. Anyone could see that Xiahou Dun was on fire, but after all, he did not lose his temper after all, so he arched his hands immediately and said, "My fellow countrymen and neighbors, please be polite." He did not get off his horse when he said this , but holding the stirrup and the whip.Obviously, he was on guard, and if he didn't agree with him, he would gallop over and beat people.When I said this, there was no sound on both sides of the river, this kind of unruly and solemn spirit shocked all the children, so that no one dared to respond. It was the first time Ah Man had seen such a battle since returning to his hometown, and his heart was a little beating.But after thinking about it again, the grievance has a head, a debt, and a master, so that people will look down upon him for not coming out, and knowing that the person who is willing to wash his shame for the teacher must not be a savage, so he took two steps forward and cupped his hands: "Don't dare to be, don't Dare to do it. Just now I led all the brothers to play, how offended! I also hope Brother Xiahou Haihan." Xiahou Dun was also taken aback, wondering when there was such a well-spoken person in the Cao family boy, and sneered: "It's easy to say, easy to say... I don't know how my brother Yuan'er offended you, so he tied him up and humiliated him. You even threatened to cut your heart out?" Ah Man heard that this was wrong, he knew that it must be Xiahou Lian who added fuel and jealousy to tell the truth, but it was expected that a word was inaccurate and he had to do it, so it would be better to tell the truth and confide in him.Thinking so far, he went down the slope, waded across the small river and walked straight to Xiahou Dun's horse.The brothers of the Cao family were relieved to see that Ah Man was willing to come forward to take the responsibility; now they saw that he was angry with him, and they all sweated again. Ah Tan did not show any fear, and told the story in detail.Since the Xiahou brothers came to fight for territory half a month ago, they have been talking about how they decided to capture Xiahouyuan and how to subdue everyone.Unexpectedly, Xia Houdun had a pleasant face when he heard it, and at the end he burst out laughing: "Good! Good! It's interesting if that's the case, and my brothers really should be taught a lesson. Thank you for coming up with such a method, admiration! Admiration !” Then he got off the horse and hugged his younger brother Xia Houlian down again, “Just now my younger brother came to me crying, but he didn’t understand what he said, brother Yuan’er was tied up and was going to cut his heart open, I was shocked , and then came here recklessly, Brother Cao laughed at me." Ah Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand to wipe the tears off Xia Houlian's face, and said with a smile: "Silly brother, how can you take it seriously when you are joking?" "I haven't asked Brother Cao's name yet." Xiahou Dun cupped his hands again. "My name is Cao Cao." "Cao Cao? Oh..." Xiahou Dun was taken aback, "You are my cousin..." After speaking halfway, it was too abrupt to think about it, so he swallowed the second half. "What did you say?" Ah Mo was puzzled. "It's nothing..." Xiahoudun smiled awkwardly, "I mean this place is an unowned wasteland, why should you and I be separated so clearly? Our two families have been neighbors for generations, and from now on we will call the brothers of the two families together How about playing together?" "It's exactly what I want!" Ah Man clapped his hands. As a result, cheers suddenly sounded by the small river.The children of Cao's family and Xiahou's family, who were still playing and fighting just now, are now bouncing around with their arms crossed and making a fuss.Under the lush big locust tree, surrounded by happy singing... Not far away, Cao Yin was lying in the field and looking there.Still worried about his nephews, he followed them secretly.Just now when I saw Ah Man defeating Xiahou's brothers with tricks, I couldn't help clapping my hands in admiration, thinking to myself: Maybe the future of my Cao family depends on this kid.Later, I saw Xiahoudun coming on horseback again, Ah Man chatted happily with him, and felt a burst of bitterness in my heart—the one who should meet can't hide after all, silly boy, how did you know that you should have stood on the west side of the river, and this Xiahoudun It's your real cousin!
