Chapter 15: Educating Disobedient Teenagers
Qin Lan sat cross-legged on his small bed, and a firefly-like light lit up beside him while his eyes were closed. The subtle light shone on his face, which seemed very sacred. After a while, the small room was filled with light spots, and some of the light spots even became tiny light balls.
These small light balls and light spots slowly moved closer to Qin Lan and surrounded him. After a while, he was as solemn and dignified as a god.
After half an hour of coming, Qin Lan woke up and murmured to himself: "Is this the function of the martial arts? It feels so useless! According to his original method and some general operating rules of the martial arts, it should be OK according to the principles! Is it really necessary to practice and read it?"
Qin Lan is very confused now. The head of the family asked him to learn from him, but he didn't ask him to practice, but he didn't know how to learn from him without practice. He couldn't practice, and it was very uncomfortable.
"If you don't practice, you will be scolded at most. If you don't follow the foundation building as mentioned in the martial arts, you shouldn't be scolded!" Qin Lan finally made up her mind to practice, but Qin Lan was a little confused again, "But what kind of exercise is to try? "Golden Pill"? No! If you practice this, you won't be able to come back. "Divine Vein" mainly practices the body, and does not need dantian, so it's it!"
Qin Lan said it and recalled the content of the martial arts with her eyes closed. Within a moment, she opened her eyes and smiled bitterly: "I seem to have forgotten it, just looking at some and shortcomings, I forgot the content, it's so miserable!"
Because Qin Lan couldn't remember the content of the martial arts, and if he didn't try the martial arts, he couldn't practice it. If he directly built the foundation, according to the head of the Zuo family, he wouldn't have much chance to enter the Huafan, so he could only sleep under the quilt.
Qin Lan couldn't sleep! His mind was full of thoughts on the content of the martial arts, but he couldn't remember them, so he was very sleepy now, but he couldn't sleep.
In the early morning, the first ray of sunshine shone on Qin Lan, who was sitting by the stone table. Because he couldn't sleep, he ran to the stone table and stared blankly. He sat for a night. Although he was staring at the dark circles of his eyes because he stayed up late, he was very excited.
Seeing that the sun had risen, Qin Lan stood up and ran to Zuo Yinling's door and knocked wildly.
"What are you doing! You don't sleep a lot early in the morning. Do you think you are building a foundation or a mortal!" Zuo Yinling knew that this person was Qin Lan. After all, there were two people in the courtyard, and no one came in. Zuo Yinling opened the door and cursed: "What are you doing! Mr., I haven't come yet, can you sleep too much?"
Qin Lan bowed to Zuo Yinling and said humbly: "Miss, let's sit down and talk!"
After sitting down, Qin Lan said flatteringly: "Miss, look, when will we go to the study again?"
Zuo Yinling was very surprised and said in surprise: "You are not afraid of death! You almost died there yesterday, but you still want to go today. It's so cheap, why can't you usually see that you are so cheap?"
"That, so I want you to take me there!" Qin Lan still looked flattering.
"Going to the study requires my father's consent. Without his approval, I can't go," Zuo Yinling said slyly, "As long as you can get my father's approval, I will take you there!"
"Really, then, I'll go find the head of the family now," he ignored Zuo Yinling and ran out of the courtyard.
Qin Lan ran halfway and remembered that she didn't know where the head of the family was. In the past, when she saw the head of the family, he was the one who came to find her, so Qin Lan could only walk back in a mess.
"Oh, I'm back! What's the matter!" Zuo Yinling shouted sarcastic, obviously knowing that Qin Lan could not find her father.
"I don't know where the head of the family is," Qin Lan's tone seemed to have suffered a defeat.
"Hmph! I deserve it," Zuo Yinling smiled sarcastically.
"What should I do?" Qin Lan seemed a little helpless.
"My father is usually very busy, so it's not that easy to find," Zuo Yinling looked fine, "But don't be discouraged, don't you have my mother!"
"But I don't know where the lady is!" Qin Lan frowned.
Zuo Yinling rolled his eyes, "Why are you so unwilling to care about the surroundings! You don't even know the house of the head of the family and the head of the family's wife. Are you still a subordinate of the Zuo family?"
"This, I have been here for a few months, either studying or practicing. Apart from going out of the lights and going to the study once, I have never left the courtyard within a hundred meters. What can I do!" Qin Lan said for granted, after all, what he said was the facts.
Zuo Yinling twitched the corner of his mouth and said angrily: "You are amazing. You can't go out, you really can't go out! Fortunately, I know where my mother is, so I'll go and say, okay!"
Zuo Yinling walked out of the courtyard in anger and said cursingly: "Who is the book boy of whom! If I hadn't wanted to go too, I wouldn't ask if I was beaten to death!"
Shortly after Zuo Yinling left, Mr. Li walked in, holding a ruler in his hand, and walked towards Qin Lan with a smile.
Qin Lan's face turned pale when she saw this scene.
"Xiao Lan, how are you memorizing the book?" Mr. Li said softly to Qin Lan.
Qin Lan was sweating coldly and said tremblingly: "Well, sir, actually, I was very busy yesterday!"
Mr. Li's originally gentle face suddenly became stern and cursed without hesitation: "You are a person with perfect Qi training. You are about to enter the ranks of monks. How could you not even memorize a book? I think you didn't take what I said to heart, right!"
"Sir, I was really busy yesterday, from the afternoon to the evening, and then I forgot." Qin Lan's defense voice became smaller and smaller.
"I forgot, you really didn't take what I said to you!" Mr. Li was very angry. For such disobedient students, Mr. Li obviously had many ways to educate them, "Touch out his hand!"
"That?" Qin Lan whispered.
"Whatever!" Mr. Li cursed.
...
After Zuo Yinling came back, he saw Qin Lan kneeling on the ground with a book in his right hand and reading aloud. He also saw the face next to him look angry and thought to himself: "This kid can actually make his husband so angry. He is worthy of being my book boy!"
Zuo Yinling hurriedly went up to pay his respects to Mr. Li: "Good morning sir!"
Mr. Li calmed down for a moment, then nodded and smiled and returned the gift.
Zuo Yinling laughed at Qin Lan, and then asked Mr. Li: "Sir, what's wrong with him? He knelt here early in the morning!"
"He actually stopped listening to me and asked him to recite the book without reading a single word," he said to Zuo Yinling, and cursed at Qin Lan, "What's wrong with you? I just asked you to recite this book? Is it difficult? Why don't you take it seriously? Is it for your own good? Do you think it's a bad idea to memorize the book? Is it your study or I study? The head of the family spent money to ask me to teach you? Do you deserve it? Do you think it's glorious and proud to not listen to what I say? You said!"
Seeing this scene, Zuo Yinling hurriedly ran to his house to avoid harming the fish in the pond.
"Sir, I dare not," Qin Lan whispered.
"Don't dare! You are quite brave! You dare not listen to me today, and you dare not listen to the head of the family tomorrow. As soon as I come, I will teach you what I will teach you, respect your teacher and respect your teachings. You have forgotten all this in just a few months. Do you still have me as a gentleman in your eyes?" Mr. Li became more angry as he said, "I am all for your own good. If you can become a master in the future, there will definitely be many people paying attention to you. You look like a white Ding and let my face go wherever you put your face, and let the Zuo family go. Now let you recite more and learn more, so as not to say in the future that you are not educated, you are good and learning bad things yourself. Do you know?"
"Sir, I will never dare to do it again. I will be obedient in the future." Qin Lan wanted to cry a little. After all, he was only in his teenage years, so it was normal for him to be scolded for being sad.
When Mr. Li saw Qin Lan's corrective attitude, he became angry a little, and was no longer angry. He sighed and said helplessly: "Qin Lan! If you don't learn from you, you will be yourself! If you become a master in the future, you still have the time to learn these things. It's still too late to learn them. When others say you are uneducated in the future, it will be too late! You are still young, learn things faster, and you will be more impressed. When you are established in the future, these things will only float in your mind, and it's difficult to leave a deeper impression! These things, I know that they are of little use to your cultivation, but you have to know that cultivation can make you become a talent. Learning these things is what makes you adult. If you don't even know the most basic etiquette, righteousness, and shame, what's the difference between you and those beasts in the jungle!"
"I know I'm wrong, so I will definitely recite the letter carefully in the future and listen to what the sir!" Qin Lan said sincerely.
"I didn't ask you to memorize it. I know that your understanding ability is poor, so I asked you to memorize it and keep it to heart. I will understand it carefully in the future. If you take a look at it, you can know what a gentleman is and what a villain is. I don't have to ask you to memorize it!" Seeing that Qin Lan had a good attitude, Mr. Li slowed down his tone and taught patiently.
Qin Lan suddenly asked, "Then teacher, what is a gentleman? Do you want me to be a gentleman?"
Mr. Li returned to his former gentleness and said, "A gentleman cannot summarize a word. I don't want you to be a gentleman. In the world of monks, a gentleman is too likely to fall, so I just hope that you can not live against your true heart and never hurt others easily!"
"Sir, I understand!" Qin Lan replied, "I will definitely not hurt anyone casually!"
Mr. Li smiled and said, "That's good. Do you still remember that I told you a few days ago, don't raise the butcher's knife easily, do you still remember?"
"Remember"
Mr. Li smiled and suddenly became serious and said, "But remember that if one day the knife is not easy to take, don't fall easily. When someone wants to take your life and hurt your relatives, don't endure it anymore. Otherwise, the consequences will make you regret it. You should be decisive and never have any kindness of a woman!"
"I understand, sir, you mean that I should not take the initiative to hurt others, nor do I get angry at unnecessary things, but if others touch my bottom line, I will be more careless, right?" Qin Lan concluded Mr. Li's words.
Mr. Li laughed happily, said frankly, and ordered, "You memorize the book, I will check it tomorrow!"
Mr. Li knew that his words were a bit heavy today, but yesterday he heard the servant discussing Qin Lan and Zuo Yinling entering the study room. Where is the study room? He has been in the Zuo family for decades. How could he not know? Everyone who has been practicing Qi quickly entered the foundation building shortly after entering, and then lived a life without a trace. He was no longer as leisurely as before. He knew that he had not had much time to teach Qin Lan, so he turned small things into big things and was so excited to speak.
After Mr. Li left, Qin Lan looked at the direction of his departure, and tears dripped onto the ground through his cheeks.
