Chapter 119 Lin Fan's Test (Part )
Last time, we said that Li Yi found that this winter melon had the potential to practice the Vajra Magical Skill, and wanted to send him to the Vajra Temple to learn martial arts. I wonder what the result of the test he gave to Lin Fan will be? Let's read on.
When they arrived at the Ministry of Rites, Shiyu got off the car first, and Li Yi grabbed the unconscious Donggua and walked in. This scene made people feel strange, but no one dared to ask until they went to the inner hall. Minister Kong saw the child in Li Yi's hand and asked, "Xiuyuan, what's wrong with this child? Is he here for a trial class as well?"
Li Yi smiled and said, "This is a troublemaker and also a test for Lin Fan."
Kong Xiu frowned and said, "Xiuyuan, why did you bring back such trouble? Go to the elementary school in the backyard and take a look. Tang Ying's son Tang Ji is not a pushover either. How long has he been here? He's already driving Lin Fan crazy. You're adding fuel to the fire. I'm afraid Lin Fan won't be able to bear it."
Upon hearing this, Li Yi laughed and said, "There is such a thing? That's great. I want to see which of these two kids is more naughty." After saying that, Li Yi walked towards the backyard carrying the winter melon.
As soon as I entered the yard, I saw Tang Ying spanking his son on a stone bench. The child was screaming in pain. It seemed that Tang Ying used some force.
Li Yi stepped forward, looked at Tang Ji and asked, "Commander Tang, what's wrong? Why are you beating your son for fun?"
Tang Ying stopped to salute, then saw the unconscious winter melon in Li Yi's hand and asked, "Master Li, what's wrong with you?"
Li Yi picked up the winter melon and said with a smile: "Just like your son, he is a mischievous boy. There is no other way, I had to knock him unconscious and then tie him up." Then Li Yi threw the winter melon to the ground. Tang Ji saw how Li Yi treated the child, and his father respected Li Yi very much. He immediately realized that this was a ruthless person and he could not afford to offend him, so he stopped shouting.
Li Yi asked Xiang Tangying: "What kind of trouble did your son get into?"
Tang Ying shook his head and sighed, "Master Li, our family is so unfortunate to have such a rebellious son. I am really mad at him. I sent him here and just greeted Mr. Lin, but this bastard took advantage of my unpreparedness and knocked over the inkstone, destroying all the manuscripts that Mr. Lin had written."
Li Yi smiled and said, "It's just a small matter, there's no need to hit the child like that."
Tang Ying said with some shame, "If it was just this incident, of course I wouldn't have hit him. This kid also put the inkstone on the door, and as a result, Mr. Lin was hit when he entered the room. Not only was he injured, but he was also splashed with ink. I don't know how he is now."
After hearing this, Shi Yu asked hurriedly, "Is Mr. Lin seriously injured? He must be bleeding after being hit on the head by the inkstone."
Tang Ying glared at his son and scolded, "If Mr. Lin is seriously injured, I will break your legs!"
Li Yi pointed at the winter melon on the ground and said, "Commander Tang, please untie this kid and wake him up. If he makes a noise after waking up, I'd like to ask you to punish him like your own son and beat him on the stone bench until he surrenders. I'll go see how Lin Fan is doing." After saying that, he went to find Lin Fan.
Arriving at Lin Fan's residence, Li Yi knocked on the door and asked, "Lin Fan, how is your injury?"
Lin Fan's frustrated voice came from inside the room: "Master Yuefu is here. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to complete the test."
Li Yi asked with a smile: "What happened? Was it a serious injury, or was it a disfigurement, or was it that the ink couldn't be washed off?"
Lin Fan said helplessly: "The injury is nothing, just a bump on the head. I never thought that Tang Ying was such a naughty kid. It's also my fault for being careless for a moment, but no matter what, I can't see anyone now."
After hearing what Lin Fan said, Li Yi became even more curious. He pushed the door open and saw Lin Fan, whose forehead was only slightly red and swollen, and whose face was slightly stained with ink, and asked, "You are fine, why don't you dare to come out and see people?"
Lin Fan sighed and lowered his head without saying anything. Li Yi asked, "Since there is nothing else, come with me to see the challenge you will face next." Lin Fan sat at the table without moving. Li Yi took a few steps forward and came in front of Lin Fan, who subconsciously dodged back.
Li Yi grabbed his arm and scolded him: "How dare you, a grown man, let a little brat bully you? If you are angry, just beat him up. Why do you lock yourself in the room like a woman? What? Do you want me to lend you my handkerchief to wipe your snot and tears so that you can cry your heart out?"
Facing Li Yi's ridicule, Lin Fan remained unmoved and still didn't want to go out. Li Yi got a little anxious and pulled him out. Now Lin Fan said anxiously: "Li Lefu, as a teacher, you should pay attention to your appearance. It's really inconvenient for me to go out now!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, Li Yi saw that Lin Fan's teeth and tongue were all black. Only then did he understand Lin Fan's situation. He let go of his hand and frowned, "What's going on? You can eat this ink. Do you think you don't have enough ink in your stomach?"
Lin Fan complained: "Alas, when the inkstone hit me, I screamed subconsciously, but I didn't expect the ink to splash into my mouth. Tang Ji is such a scoundrel!"
Li Yi thought for a moment and said, "Go and brush your teeth with a toothbrush first, and then we can talk about it after you've cleaned them up." After saying that, he realized that Lin Fan didn't even know what a toothbrush was. He shook his head and said, "Wait here, I have extra ones at my house, I'll ask someone to get them, and when you've cleaned them up, come back to me, and I'll help you deal with these naughty kids first, so that you won't be teased by them again." So Li Yi sent someone back to his house to get a toothbrush for Lin Fan to wash his teeth, and then he started to deal with these unlucky kids.
The five children who came to try out the class have all arrived. Li Yi looked at the children standing in a row in the classroom:
Tang Ying's son Tang Ji was seven years old and was the tallest and strongest of the five children.
Yao Yang, the son of Lord Yao from the Ministry of Rites, is well-educated and well-mannered at the age of six, so he should be a good student.
Peng Fang, the son of Mr. Peng from the Ministry of Works, was eight years old. He was a little restless and kept looking around.
Zhang Jian, the son of Zhang Ping, a clerk in the Ministry of Revenue, looks a bit dull, which is in sharp contrast with Peng Fang. One is lively and active, while the other is honest and simple.
The last one was Donggua. This guy looked at Li Yi with resentment.
At this time, except for Lin Fan, all the teachers arranged by Li Yi to teach the five children were present. They were Sun Li, who taught arithmetic and was originally a clerk from the Ministry of Works; Qin Chao, a centurion who taught physical education and was originally a subordinate of Tang Ying and was deceived by Tang Ying; and Chen Liang, who taught art, needed no introduction, as he was an old friend of Li Yi.
Li Yi bowed to the teachers and said, "Gentlemen, you have worked hard for these five children in the past ten days. If you encounter any troubles or doubts during the teaching process, please come to me or Master Fang Zhuofang. If you have any problems with logistics, please find Shiyu. You must pay attention to these two children. Lin Fan has been teased by Tang Ji just now, so be prepared. It is the nature of children to be naughty. It is up to you to punish them. I have already talked to their parents, so you don't have to feel pressured."
Several people agreed. Li Yi was worried that he had not explained it clearly enough, so he walked over to the four people and whispered, "You really have to be careful. I am not trying to scare you. Tang Ji and that Hu Dong will definitely cause trouble. You have to find a way to control them, otherwise you will be the ones who are in trouble!"
Chen Liang asked, "Xiu Yuan, is it that serious?"
Li Yi smiled and said, "Don't you think about why Lin Fan came here now? He was tricked by Tang Jibu. Not only was he hit on the head by the inkstone, but he also got a mouth full of ink. It is really hard to clean. So you must be careful and don't get tricked again." When they heard this, they became nervous. Li Yi felt a little relieved and started to proceed to the next step.
Li Yi looked at Donggua and smiled, "Hu Dong, I guess you must be unhappy that you lost to me."
Donggua tilted his neck and made an expression that looked like he deserved a beating and said, "Of course I don't accept it. You, an adult, are bullying a child and you still have the nerve to show off."
Li Yi smiled and said, "Then tell me what it will take for you to be convinced."
Donggua's eyes rolled and a bad idea came to him. He smiled and said, "Let's play horse riding. Let me ride on your back. I will be convinced as long as you can throw me off!"
Li Yi smiled and waved, "Okay! Come over here."
Donggua ran towards Li Yi excitedly, then tripped over something and fell to the ground, making the other four children laugh.
Li Yi laughed and said, "You, why don't you learn your lesson? This is the first lesson I'm teaching you. In the face of absolute strength, playing tricks is useless."
Donggua slowly got up and looked at Li Yi fiercely. This time it was Li Yi who put on an expression that looked like he deserved a beating and said, "I'll give you time to learn. When you have real skills, you can come to me to avenge today's humiliation."
Hu Dong certainly knew that he was no match for Li Yi, he just wanted to disgust him, but he had no chance now.
Li Yi said to Donggua: "Learn from these teachers. I studied for twelve years. You might as well try to study as well. Maybe you can find a way to defeat me."
Hu Gua looked up at Li Yi and asked, "Really? Are you so good because of studying?"
Li Yi patted Hu Dong's head, and the boy pushed his hand away. Li Yi said earnestly, "Without those twelve years of hard work, I would definitely not be where I am now. You want to be a hero, right? Try this path first to see if you can make it."
Hu Dong walked back to the team half-believingly. Li Yi turned his attention to Tang Ji and said, "Tang Ji, you need to give everyone an explanation for teasing Mr. Lin."
Tang Ji straightened up instantly and said, "I apologize to Mr. Lin!"
Li Yi laughed and said, "Oh, I didn't expect you to be such a practical person."
Tang Ji said loudly: "My father said that Lord Li is very powerful and he can't beat you. He told me not to mess with you or I will suffer the consequences."
Li Yi smiled and said, "Well, that's right. Did your father tell you why you came here?"
Tang Ji said: "My father told me to study and learn to read here, and learn skills from the teachers."
Li Yi nodded and said, "It's good to know now. Tang Ji, if I find out that you have teased a gentleman again or caused any trouble, I will tie you up and hang you on the beam, and whip you with a whip dipped in cold water. Even if your father comes to beg for mercy, I will not let you go. Do you know that?"
Tang Ji nodded. At this moment, Lin Fan came over with a serious face, saluted to Li Yi and said, "Master Yuefu, I am late."
Li Yi glanced at Tang Ji, who immediately understood and walked to Lin Fan's side, bowing and saying, "I apologize for my previous offense, sir."
Lin Fan reached out and helped Tang Ji up and said, "Okay, okay, just don't be naughty again in the future."
Li Yi reached out and pulled Lin Fan over and whispered, "I scared them today. It should work for three days. Of course, it's also possible that they will show their true colors after I leave, so you still have to be careful. Tang Ji and Hu Dong are two troublemakers. You must be more careful. Except for Yao Yang, the other four of these five children are not very worry-free. Peng Fang is secretly bad, and Zhang Jian is a little dull. It may be troublesome to teach him. So it's not easy to complete the test I gave you in these ten days. This is all I can do for you. The rest is up to you." After Li Yi finished speaking, he took Shi Yu back.
Three days passed, and Li Yi didn't hear any bad news. He still felt strange. Logically, how could these five children be so quiet? It was impossible. It was impossible for Donggua and Tangji to study honestly.
After lunch on the fourth day, Li Yi could not help it and took Shiyu to the primary school. When they arrived outside the courtyard, they saw Lin Fan leading the children in tug-of-war with Qin Chao. Of course, it was six of them against one Qin Chao, so the two of them hid behind the door to watch the fun.
Qin Chao shouted from the side of the rope: "Pull harder, pull harder!"
On the other side, Lin Fan's face turned red and he kept shouting, "You guys try harder, the six of us can't beat him alone!"
Shi Yu chuckled and covered her mouth, saying, "This Mr. Lin is really interesting. He can play with the children."
