I wish I could grow wings from my ribs and fly away like a bird.
He was spoiled by his family since he was a child, free and unrestrained.
Now he is locked up in this lofty room and becomes a living prisoner.
Moreover, he was deceived by Xu Chunjun, and the more he thought about it, the more cowardly he became.
What's even worse is that Mr. Wu also assigned him heavy homework.
One article in big characters and one in small characters every day. In addition to the four books, you also need to read books of your own choice.
Don't fall behind in reciting poems and composing poems correctly. You should also play chess and piano and learn some elegant skills.
Zheng Wuji was so angry that he lifted the desk and shouted: "Aren't you trying to force people to death?! I quit! Let me go!"
Of course, Mr. Wu couldn't let him go down. The person delivering the food was a deaf-mute servant, and even if Zheng Wuji shouted, he couldn't hear him.
This place is isolated from the rest of the world, and it's even more impossible to ask for help from others.
It seems that Xu Chunjun had a plan for a long time, so he built such a place.
Mr. Wu also said: "Grandma has really good intentions. She built such a quiet place in the mountains. It is indeed a good place to cultivate one's moral character and study hard. Officials must understand her intentions. How many times will such a good wife live in this world?"
Only then can you cultivate it.”
"Bullshit, you have such good intentions! She just doesn't want me to feel comfortable," Zheng Wuji went to the bed, collapsed into a big character, and said angrily: "I won't learn, let's see what you can do to me!"
Does the cow force its head to be pressed when it doesn't drink water? I am already born with bones and grown into flesh, and I am not a child who has just become enlightened.
Asking him to study is not the same as asking a girl from Hualou to become a good person?
"Old officials, please calm down. Studying is a good job. Everything else is inferior. Only studying is good. Grandma is really thinking about you." Mr. Wu persuaded me kindly.
"If you don't want to read, you won't read!" Zheng Wuji said, scratching his neck, "I am the Queen Mother having her menstrual period - even the King of Heaven and I can't do it!"
Mr. Wu was always smiling. He walked to the door and gestured to the mute servant who was looking down. He then said to Zheng Wuji: "Official, if you don't learn, you will have nothing to eat."
Zheng Wuji crossed his legs, bent his arms and rested his head on his head. He chuckled twice and said, "If you don't give me food, I will take it from you. After all, I am younger than you."
Mr. Wu said: "If the teaching is not strict, the teacher will be lazy. If you don't have food to eat, how can I have it?"
The implication is that if Zheng Wuji does not learn, both of them will starve.
Zheng Wuji became less afraid after hearing this. Since they were starving together and he couldn't hold it, Mr. Wu would certainly not be able to hold it either.
It's impossible for both of them to starve to death here, it's just a way to scare themselves.
"It's a small trick, but it's all in vain." Zheng Wuji didn't take this seriously at all.
As the saying goes, "Old rice grains, old rice grains, if you don't eat one meal, you will die." Mr. Wu is the most hungry at this age. We will see when the time comes!
Zheng Wuji was not stupid. He thought that since he couldn't do anything, he would just sleep and be hungry.
If you show off the momentum of a dead pig that is not afraid of being scalded by boiling water, you won’t be able to survive it if you don’t believe it.
He was holding his breath on the first day, so it passed quickly.
I started to feel very hungry the next day, but fortunately I could still drink water, so I could barely cope with it even if I was full.
On the third day, my mouth started to feel bitter, my head felt dizzy, and my stomach felt burning and uncomfortable.
Mr. Wu across the street seemed to have nothing to do and spent most of his time meditating.
Zheng Wuji felt that he was just pretending to show off to him, but he was actually already hungry.
Gucheng
At this time, it depends on who can't hold on, and I can't let go first.
On the fourth day, Zheng Wuji could no longer sit up.
But Mr. Wu is still very energetic.
I couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you hungry?"
Mr. Wu said with a smile: "To be fair to the officials, I know a little bit about the method of fasting. Not to mention just three or four days without eating, I can even endure ten or eight days."
Zheng Wuji lamented, knowing that he couldn't hold on any longer, so he had to admit defeat.
Mr. Wu asked his mute servant to bring two portions of porridge. He had not eaten for many days, so he could only drink some porridge first.
"If you have finished your homework today, you will have steamed buns and side dishes." Mr. Wu stroked his beard and started to drink porridge. "If it is done well, you can add another dish. If it is done perfunctorily, it will be done." I only have gruel to drink."
However, Zheng Wuji would rather drink porridge every day and do whatever he can in studying.
"Officials, it's a day to work hard, and it's a day not to work hard. If you work hard, you'll still have good food and drink, don't you think?" Mr. Wu was persuasive.
Zheng Wuji shook his head and said: "Of course not. There is a saying that there is no limit to the sea of learning, and you can never finish reading books.
If I work hard now, I will have to work harder in the future. If I am tired of copywriting, I will never be able to get out of the situation in my lifetime.
Now I can live my life as long as I can, but she, Xu Laowu, can’t kill me after all. As time goes by, she will naturally realize that I am a rotten wood that cannot be carved, so she will let me go.”
Mr. Wu was not anxious after hearing his conclusion. He just said: "A drop of water penetrates a stone, and a rope cuts a piece of wood. Even if you don't work hard and are exposed to it every day, maybe one day you will be enlightened!"
I am old and have nothing to do, so I can stay with you in the mountains for a few years. It is better than wasting my time and being invaded by wine and sex."
Zheng Wuji thought to himself that this was impossible. If he stayed here for three to five years, he would go crazy.
He lowered his head and thought for a while, and then came up with another plan.
After eating that day, Zheng Wuji complained of abdominal pain and rolled on the ground while crying out in pain.
He thought that wasting time like this was not an option and he had to leave here as soon as possible.
As long as he leaves here, he will never come back even if he is killed.
Since he thinks so, he naturally has to pretend to be sick when he is pretending to be sick.
I originally thought that Mr. Wu would panic and call someone to take him down.
Who would have thought that he would calmly pull Zheng Wuji's wrist to feel his pulse, and then said: "Why do you pretend to be sick, a high official? I think you have some kidney deficiency at most, but you will be fine after taking a few medicines."
"Who are you saying has kidney deficiency?!" Zheng Wuji was so enraged that he didn't even bother to pretend to be sick.
"Hehehe," Mr. Wu laughed so hard that his eyes were gone, "If you don't have kidney deficiency, then you have a guilty conscience."
Zheng Wuji then held his stomach and said, "Mr. Wu, stop making trouble. I really have a stomachache. I'm afraid it's colic. This disease is fatal!"
He felt that Mr. Wu was deceiving him and did not understand medical skills at all.
He rolled on the ground and hit his head against the wall.
"Official, you'd better get up! Your clothes will be soiled after a while." Mr. Wu looked at Zheng Wuji as if he were a naughty boy, "How can an old man lie to others at such an old age? Zhou Zhaochen is my senior brother, although my medical skills are not as good as mine. He can do well."
"It's not enough for you to study all your life. You also have to study medicine. Can you take care of it?" Zheng Wuji didn't believe it.
"So grandma's three thousand taels of silver is not a loss. I can do the work of several people by myself. Isn't it great?" Mr. Wu laughed, "If a senior official has a headache and a fever, I guarantee that I can cure the disease." Except. You must know that grandma is just letting you study, and she is not trying to harm you."
Zheng Wuji couldn't pretend to be sick, so he had to get up, pat the dust off his body, and think of other ways.
