Chapter 18 The Reader
Cao Xing's small voice at the door naturally couldn't escape Lu Bu's ears. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Lu Bu thought that an uninvited guest had come, put the bamboo slip in his hand on the table, and said coldly: "Come out!" ”
Cao Xing felt a "groan" in his heart, so he had to pull his head into the tent deafly, and shouted "head" to Lu Bu as a thief.
Seeing that it was Cao Xing, Lu Bu's face suddenly softened, and a smile appeared: "You don't go to sleep at night, why don't you go to sleep outside my tent." ”
Cao Xuan grinned, "Boss, didn't you sleep either." ”
Lu Bu picked up the bamboo slip on the desk again and raised it towards Cao Xing, "After I finish reading this volume, I will go to sleep." ”
Cao Xing snorted his mouth, and he couldn't see the dawn yet.
The lights are flickering, and the candles are shadowy.
Lu Bu seemed to be a little tired, and reached out and gently pressed the acupuncture points on both sides of his forehead.
Cao Xing quietly walked behind Lu Bu, stretched his neck to look at the contents of the bamboo slip, he had never read and read, and he suddenly felt a lot of pressure.
"Chief, aren't you evil?" Cao Xing plucked up the courage to ask, but his voice was like a mosquito and a fly.
Cao Xuan reached out to touch Lu Bu's head, but was slapped open by Lu Bu.
Lu Bu was angry and amused at this, put down the bamboo slip in his hand again, and asked Cao Xuan in wonder: "Where did you see that I was evil?" ”
Cao Xing pointed to the bamboo slip with his hand, and said without thinking: "Boss, you have always hated these things before, and you even burned a room of these useless things with your own hands. And you actually watched it with relish just now, what is this not evil! ”
Hearing this slightly absurd reason, Lu Bu felt extremely helpless, and said in a gloomy tone: "That's me from the past." ”
"Once upon a time?"
Cao Xuan scratched his head, a little puzzled.
Lu Bu said "um", and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, that is also me in the previous life.
Cao Xing thought about it for a while, and then said: "Boss, you used to be very good, why do you have to learn these things that no egg can see?" ”
Cao Xing's eyes rolled upwards obliquely, recalling the scene of the first meeting with Lu Bu.
At that time, Cao Xing was still a ruffian hooligan in Wuyuan County, and Lu Bu had not yet joined the military camp, and his family was poor. The two met by chance on the street, and Cao Xing took the opportunity to blackmail Lu Bu for money, but was unexpectedly exposed by Lu Bu, and the two fought on the spot. The result can be imagined, Cao Xing not only did not get the money, but was also beaten severely.
Perhaps he has never entered the school, or has been insulted by the reader with poetry, Cao Xing has a special hatred for the reader, so he often refers to the reader as "eggless people" and "dog things".
There was a moment of silence in the tent, and the two of them thought about their own business.
"Chief, do you remember that time in Barnyard Mountain?"
Cao Xing's eyes were full of yearning and excitement, and he slowly recalled: "That time I took more than 30 ruffians from this county to besiege you at the foot of Barnyard Mountain, and you looked at us so indifferently, I laughed at you You don't know how thick the sky is, you said that I didn't know that I was dying." If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that someone could really bring down more than 30 strong men with wooden sticks in their hands with the power of one person. It seems that the storyteller Feng is right, the hero is unstoppable. ”
"When you grabbed me by the neck and lifted me up like a chicken, I forgot my fear. At that time, I told myself that if I survived, even if I couldn't be by your side, I would definitely follow your back. A smile bloomed on Cao Xing's face, put away the frivolity of weekdays, and told the past things that were held in his heart one by one.
Lu Bu moved his body and gave Cao Xuan a place. Cao Xuan took two steps back and sat directly on the ground.
Lu Bu got up and changed the candle flame, and the bright light of the fire printed his handsome cheeks red.
Lu Bu fixed the candle flame on the table and said: "What can I do with superb martial arts, I can fight ten, hundreds, what if there are thousands of people?" ”
Cao Xuan was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
Lu Bu sat cross-legged, faced Cao Xing and continued: "I used to laugh at those poor readers, not to mention the powerlessness of the chicken, and I know all day long that those who shake their heads are also, what is the use of reading such books?" ”
"But ......"
Lu Bu took a breath, and his voice changed, "But there is another group of scholars, who have read countless things, they know astronomy and geography, yin and yang, omnipotent, and sometimes even a single sentence can turn things upside down and reverse the defeat." ”
When he said this, Lu Bu suddenly felt a swelling pain in his head, and a vague and floating figure appeared, with a white fox face and a big green coat.
"Can those donkey grass dogs have such great skills?"
Of course Cao Xing didn't believe it.
Lu Bu smiled helplessly, and gave Cao Xing a relatively simple analogy: "If there were people in the army who read like I said, there would not be such a miserable situation as now." ”
Cao Xing pursed his lips, and let Lu Bu speak with a lotus tongue, he didn't believe that those weak scholars could have the ability to turn the river and the sea upside down.
Lu Bu took out a scroll of bamboo slips that he had just read from the tall pile of books on the other side of the desk, threw it to Cao Xing, and said with a smile: "If you have time, you can read more of these, which will be extremely beneficial to the future marching formation." ”
Cao Xing's body trembled, regarded the bamboo slip as a ghostly thing, and threw it back to Lu Bu's desk, as if laughing at himself: "They know me, but I don't recognize them." ”
Cao Xuan yawned, got up and patted his buttocks, and said goodbye to Lu Bu with his fists, "Boss, I'll go back to sleepy first, and you should rest early." ”
Lu Bu picked up the bamboo slip that Cao Xuan threw over, waved it at Cao Xing, and asked again, "You really don't learn?" ”
Cao Xing took two steps back and shook his head like a wave, he would rather fight with people than learn this Laoshzi thing.
"Well, when you suddenly figure it out one day, you will naturally come to me."
Lu Bu sat back in his original position, picked up the bamboo slip that he hadn't finished reading, and sat upright.
Cao Xing, who walked to the door of the tent curtain, suddenly stopped, turned around and gently shouted "head" to Lu Bu.
Lu Bu turned his head sideways and looked at Cao Xuan suspiciously: "What, is there anything else?" ”
Cao Xuan hesitated, and finally said: "Boss, just now you said that you can beat ten hundred, if there are thousands of people in front of you, what should you do." ”
Lu Bu nodded, this time it was his turn to figure out what Cao Xuan meant.
"You once told me that what I Lu Bu wants to do, I will definitely do. If any man stands in my way, I will kill another, and if a thousand thousand people stand in my way, I will slaughter ten thousand. ”
Cao Xing looked at Lu Bu, his tone was a little apprehensive, but also a little expectant, "Is this the case now?" ”
Lu Bu's face turned red for no reason, but fortunately, there was a candlelight flickering, which was not easy to detect. He really wanted to tell Cao Xing that it was just a bold remark when he was young and frivolous, how could anyone really be able to compete with thousands of people.
But when he saw Cao Xing's eyes full of expectations, Lu Bu suddenly felt a lot of pride in his chest, and said firmly: "That's right, it was like this before, and it will always be like this now, and it will always be like this in the future!" You are my brother, and you will die if you stand in my way or in your way! ”
When Cao Xuan heard this, he let out a heavy "um" and walked out of the camp without looking back.
Outside the tent, Cao Xuan looked up at the waning moon above his head, as if he had received a candy reward when he was a child, and laughed happily, laughing so much that tears flowed.
