Be a reckless man in the martial arts word game

Chapter 233 Mourning for his misfortune, anger for not fighting
[You have opened the book "Ten Miles of Drifting, Three Sons Share Talents and Names"]

[The stories recorded in the book are as follows:]

[Once upon a time, there were three teenagers who often walked together in the village. Let’s call them Xiaocai, Xiaozhi, and Xiaoben]

[The three of them are friends and classmates]

[When brothers get along, they should pay attention to 'respect, love, sincerity', which is too troublesome. They don't pay attention to this, so they are closer than real brothers]

[Xiao Zhi is the smartest and the best at learning]

[A young talent is also smart, and he is not bad at what he learns. The most important thing is that he is very hardworking]

[Little stupid is not really stupid, he is just really playful and can't calm down, so he always makes a mess in learning]

[The village they are in is very poor. Those who are educated eat two meals a day, and those who are not educated eat one meal]

[But no matter whether you are a scholar or not, you can never be happy and always feel gloomy]

[The happiest and most laughing people in the village are Xiaocai and the three of them]

[They like to gather under the mulberry tree and compete with who can pick more mulberry leaves]

[One day when I was running slowly, the lady who raised silkworms in the village grabbed my ears and scolded me, saying that they were ruining something bad and they had to ruin the only mulberry tree in the village]

["Isn't this life-saving?"]

[This small setback failed to dampen the trio’s pursuit of happiness]

[They later liked to go to the wine shop in the west of the village and smell the aroma of wine]

【"smell good!"】

[Xiaocai said: "We must wear long robes and drink good wine from now on."]

[They squatted by the liquor store and saw the drinkers coming in and out, all wearing long robes]

[Xiao Zhi said: "The flower wine sold here is very expensive. Generally, only Mr. and the others can afford it."]

["There is another rice wine seller in the south of the village. Their wine is not that fragrant. I think my father and the others go there often."]

[Xiaocai shouted: "If you want to drink, drink good wine. We must drink the wine that gentlemen drink from now on!"]

[Obviously I just smelled it here, so I am already a little drunk]

[Little Ben said weakly: "But my father said that people only drink when they are unhappy. Gentlemen have already become educated, what else is there to be unhappy about?"]

[None of the three people can answer this question]

[Later, they fell in love with going to the back mountain again]

[Here, it’s Xiaobeng’s world]

[He has a specialty, he can make chickens cuckoo]

[Every time he teases you, all the chickens will follow his tricks]

["Wow! That's amazing!" Xiaozhi would applaud non-stop every time he saw it]

[He really admires Xiao Ben for being able to do so many things. Unlike himself, he doesn’t know anything except learning.]

[Children usually stay away when they see the two of them gathered around the chicken pen... He really can't stand the smell here]

["Hurry up, it will get dark soon!"]

[Usually as soon as these words came out, Xiaozhi and Xiaoben knew that Xiaocai was impatient to wait, so they quickly ran to him and let him decide what to play next]

[As a young talent, I like to "steal" seeds in the flax fields]

["What is stealing! This is my family's land, and I planted the flax with my own hands before!"]

[It turns out... he just wanted his friends to taste the delicious food he grew]

[Flax seeds are not very tasty. Every time Xiaocai, Xiaozhi, and Xiaoben eat one, they feel like they have taken elixir, and they moan with pleasure]

【Maybe this is happiness】

[If you knew how each brick of the palace was built, you might be able to build another palace]

[But even if you know how the happiness you once felt came from, it will be difficult for you to recreate it again]

[It is known to many people that the three little ones only like to play like crazy, so why are there always only the three of them in the village who play like crazy? 】

[Not to mention little idiot, he is a complete mess in academics and all the gentlemen have given up on him]

[And his family is very rich. In the future, if he doesn’t do academic work, he will still have a job.]

[Xiao Zhi and Xiao Cai, their grades in the school are always first and second. They are so popular among the gentlemen that they can't bear to let the ruler fall into their hands]

[If you do well in learning, there will always be some kind of "pardon privileges"] [Just like when gentlemen go drinking, people will call them elegant, but when old men go drinking, people will just call them bad old men]

[People are not jealous of the 'privilege' that the three little ones have, because many people have heard the saying - "A strict teacher produces a good disciple"]

[If the teacher is not strict with them, it means that their learning speed will slow down]

[And those people have also heard a saying - "Humility leads to success, complacency stops"]

[In their view, Xiaocai and Xiaozhi are representatives of arrogant and complacent people]

[They wish that Xiaocai and Xiaozhi would play crazy every day and waste their knowledge, so that they could work hard to catch up and leave them behind]

[Then did Xiaocai and his classmates do this? 】

【done……】

[One month before Xiaozhi is about to leave this village and go to a wider world to seek knowledge and inquiry]

[He lost his long-standing reputation as the 'Little Number One Scholar']

[The person who surpassed him to win the first place was not a young talent, but another classmate he was not familiar with]

[Xiao Zhi thought it was nothing at first, so he went to play in the back mountain with Xiaocai and Xiaoben]

[But...he was carried back by his father like a chicken in the back mountain]

[He thought his father was going to beat him, and he was not afraid of beating him. After all, he did not do well in the exam this time... He felt that he deserved to be beaten]

[Who knew...Dad didn't beat him]

[Instead, I stewed a chicken for him and made the most sumptuous meal]

[While eating this meal, his father and mother were crying and shoveling the rice into their mouths, without even saying a harsh word to him]

[Xiao Zhi didn’t taste any of this meal]

[After returning to the house, my mother secretly followed him in and told him something without telling his father]

["Your ink is actually...red spots...rolling in pain..."]

[The two mothers hugged each other and cried again]

["Mom, it's not hard, I just ask you not to let your father's pain go to waste!"]

["I will definitely work hard in the future! I will never play in the back mountains again!"]

[This is what Xiaozhi said and what he did]

[Since then, he has never been to the back mountain, nor has he gone anywhere to have fun]

【He is making every effort to learn】

【Is it done?Failed]

[He did even worse in the exam this time, directly becoming the middle level of the school]

[Dad finally couldn’t bear it anymore]

[Still didn’t hit him, but said something bitterly]

["Sorrow for his misfortune, angry for his inability to fight!"]

[After it was confirmed that Xiaozhi was really gone, there was a lot of gossip in the village]

["Silly boy wasting his talent. If he had woken up earlier and worked hard to learn, why would he be where he is today?"]

["I think his father loves him too much and beats him too little! If a son doesn't teach him, it's his father's fault!"]

["You can't say that. His father works hard all day long, and we can't compare to him."]

["What's the use of trying harder, his son is a lazy guy."]

[When Xiaozhi is happy, the village is quiet; when the village becomes lively, he can only make himself quiet]

[He becomes more and more silent and works harder and harder]

【Not filial, not humble, not diligent, not quiet】

[He can’t correct the first shortcoming, so he can only correct the last three...]

[It didn’t take long, probably just before Xiaocai and Xiaoben planned to leave the village, they went to the back mountain for the last time]

[Pay tribute to my eternal friend... Xiaozhi]
