Chapter Twelve [Extremely Happy Begets Sadness]
Chapter 12 [Extreme happiness leads to sorrow] ()
Su Xiang soaked in the nutrient solution for an hour to relieve his fatigue, and then, under Xiaodie's guidance, walked towards the classroom of the second course.
"Xiaodie, where are we going?" Su Xiang asked curiously. Xiaodie led him to a secluded place in the mountains. Is the second course exploration and discovery?
"Brother, I'll take you to the private school now." Xiaodie's voice was sweet.
"Private school?" Su Xiang was surprised, and at the same time he was very puzzled. Is there still a private school in the world more than two thousand years later?
In Su Xiang's impression, private schools are teaching places set up by private individuals in ancient my country. Do children in the future also need to study in private schools?
There is no way out when the mountains and rivers are at the end of the road, and there is another village with dark willows and flowers.
Turning a mountain path, Su Xiang saw a simple thatched hut not far away. The sound of reading came from the thatched hut, "At the beginning of a person, he is good in nature, his nature is similar, and his habits are far away..."
I guess that was the private school that Xiaodie mentioned, Su Xiang thought while walking.
"Young Master Su, that's your place." Teacher Kong and Mencius, wearing a Confucian scholar robe and a Confucian scholar hat, pointed to an empty seat in front.
Su Xiang sat down as he spoke, frowned and picked up the yellowed thread-bound book on the table, "Three Character Classic", and felt very awkward: I really want to learn this in the second lesson? I am a college student, and I am still giving me enlightenment education?
"Okay, all the students, let's start over and read with the teacher. When people are born, they are good in nature, and have different habits." Teacher Kong and Mencius shook their heads and read with an intoxicated look on their faces.
"At the beginning of human beings, they are good in nature, and their natures are similar, and their habits are far away." Su Xiang read absent-mindedly.
"If you don't teach, your nature will move. The way of teaching is important to specialize."
"If you don't teach, your nature will change. The way of teaching is important to be dedicated." Su Xiang looked around and saw that there were some five or six-year-old children around him, and his heart became more and more awkward.
Su Xiang secretly glanced at Teacher Kong and Mencius and found that Teacher Kong and Mencius was immersed in the text. Without looking at him, he quietly pushed the chair back, sank his waist and thrust his horse, and continued to exercise.
After surpassing the physiological limits again and again, Su Xiang felt the pleasure of surpassing the limits. Although he was sweating a lot, he felt very comfortable.
"Young Master Su, dog watches, chicken Sichen, what's the next sentence!" Teacher Kong and Meng asked with a ruler, striking Su Xiang's desk with a cold face.
"Ah?" Su Xiang was stalking his horse with all his attention. Teacher Kong and Meng asked him, and was startled and sat backwards.
But he had just pushed the chair away and sat in an empty stomach. Su Xiang fell to the ground in a mess.
"Haha..." Su Xiang's funny performance made the children burst into laughter.
Su Xiang stood up in a mess, grabbed his head embarrassedly, and his face turned slightly red.
"Young Master Su, Dog Watching the Night, Chicken Si Chen, what is the next sentence?" Teacher Kong and Mencius repeated the question.
"Dog watch the night, chicken is in the morning..." Su Xiang glanced at the textbook on the table. Helplessly, his textbook was still flipped on the first page, and there were no such words on this page.
"Kong Rong, please answer." Teacher Kong and Meng said, pointing at a child behind Su Xiang.
"Dogs watch the night, chickens hold the morning. If you don't learn, you can be a human being. Silkworms sprinkle silk, bees make honey. If you don't learn, you are not as good as things..." Kong Rong carried it skillfully.
"Very good, the boy can teach you, Young Master Su, have you heard it clearly? If you don't learn, you can be a human being. If you don't learn, you are not as good as something!" Teacher Kong and Meng turned around and looked at Su Xiang coldly, his eyes were like needles, and Su Xiang didn't dare to look directly.
"But teacher, when I was in elementary school, I didn't have to learn these things, I learned these things..." Su Xiang said softer and softer.
"It's useless to learn these things, Young Master Su, do you want to say that?" Teacher Kong and Meng sneered.
Before Su Xiang could react, Teacher Kong and Meng slapped the table heavily, and his thin face was full of anger: "Young Master Su, the old man dared to ask, are you Chinese?"
"I...of course I am!" Su Xiang said firmly.
"Oh, is that right? Do you think that as long as you have yellow skin and black hair can be considered a Chinese?! Wrong, a big mistake! A Chinese person always has something imprinted by our Chinese nation in his blood! Things that can be passed down continuously! Master Su, are there things that should be remembered in your blood?"
"No, you can't be considered a Chinese, at least, not a qualified Chinese!"
"If you don't learn, you can be a human being. If you don't learn, you are not as good as things. How good the teachings of the ancestors were, they could explain the principles of being a human being in just a few words. Mr. Su, do you think these are really useless?"
Teacher Kong and Mencius's chest was undulating rapidly, and they were very angry. After a long time, he said dejectedly: "Young Master Su, you have said too much. It's just that you don't want to learn these things. This is your freedom, but please don't say that these things are useless. The hard work of the ancestors cannot be insulted."
Are there always things that have the imprint of our Chinese nation in the Chinese blood flowing?
Su Xiang was silent and gradually understood why the future world would teach these seemingly ancient things.
As descendants of Yan and Huang, we must inherit some things, otherwise the descendants of Yan and Huang cannot be called Yan and Huang! Some things must be remembered, and some things must be passed down. Forgetting the past means betrayal-
Thinking of this, Su Xiang suddenly realized, bowed respectfully to Teacher Confucius and Mencius, and said convincedly: "Teacher, I know I'm wrong. Please give me another chance, I will definitely study hard!"
When Teacher Confucius and Mencius saw Su Xiang suddenly turn a 180-degree bend, he looked stunned. However, seeing Su Xiang speak sincerely, he quickly helped Su Xiang up and said, "Young Master Su, you are serious, a teacher, a master, a master, as long as you want to learn, the old man will naturally be willing to teach. Master Su, please sit down, let's start from scratch."
Su Xiang nodded and followed Teacher Kong and Meng, chanting: "At the beginning of a person, his nature is good. His nature is similar and his habits are far apart. If he does not teach, his nature will change. The way of teaching is to be dedicated..."
Su Xiang's days suddenly became simple and fulfilling. Every day, he followed Zhang Sanfeng to do various trainings beyond the limit to strengthen his body. Then he studied four hours of reading - the Three Character Classic, Thousand Character Classic, the Analects of Confucius, etc., and then followed Adriana to learn four hours of aristocratic etiquette, followed by beauty, wine tasting, music, horse riding, golfing, painting, playing the piano, playing violin and other series of advanced leisure and entertainment activities.
Among them, what makes Su Xiang the most tiring is the ten-hour practice time. The training tasks arranged by Zhang Sanfeng can torture Su Xiang to death every time. If it weren't for the nutrient solution to moisturize and be able to breathe in the skin, Su Xiang might have been exhausted long ago.
But Su Xiang’s favorite thing is that the ten-hour practice time constantly exceeds the limit and reaches a new peak - the peak experience of conquering the limit, Su Xiang enjoys it very much.
Now, Su Xiang can lift an iron pestle of a hundred pounds with one hand effortlessly! According to Zhang Sanfeng, Su Xiang can barely enter the gate of the martial arts hall now, and three or five people are definitely not his opponent.
What Su Xiang feared the most was the four-hour etiquette class. Almost every etiquette class, Su Xiang would be punished with a intensity of two dozen times. Su Xiang wanted to break his head, but he couldn't think of why there would be so many complicated etiquettes in the universe in the future, such as eating etiquettes, walking etiquettes, and even going to the toilet!
After the twenty-four-hour training course, Su Xiang will start reviewing the exam subjects.
Do you have any place to understand? It doesn’t matter. There is the strongest team of teachers in the growth aid instrument, including many well-known scholars in the universe. They are happy to teach and answer questions for Su Xiang.
Su Xiang studied and exercised eagerly, tirelessly.
For some people, ten days may be just a drop in the ocean in their lives and it doesn’t matter, but for Su Xiang in the growth aid device, he has completed a transformation in these ten days!
Of course, Su Xiang also knew very well that these ten days were just the first step of the Long March, and the real training had not begun yet! It was still far from the minimum requirements for growth training stage and even expansion training...
On June 26, 9:40, in Su Xiang’s dormitory.
"The exam is going to be taken today, why haven't Su Xiang come back yet? Could it be that he was kidnapped?" Ye Chao said.
Zhang Jie, who was tidying up his instrument in the mirror, smiled contemptuously: "Kidnapping him? You are blind as a kidnapper. Let's go, go and investigate the land!"
"That's right, the kidnapper is not a fool. Will he take risks for a country bumpkin? He also wants to kidnap a wealthy man. What's the point of kidnapping? " Chen Hu, who was standing by, glanced at Su Xiang's bed and walked out of the dormitory with Zhang Jie and Ye Chao.
Shortly after the three of them walked out of the dormitory, Su Xiang's bed, the quilt that was originally spread flat on the bed suddenly protruded into a human shape!
"It's half an hour left, it's time." The quilt was lifted by a pair of big hands, revealing an ordinary but extremely charming face. It was Su Xiang who spent ten days in the Tenglong Growth Assistant.
Compared with ten days ago, Su Xiang has undergone considerable changes—
His face was well maintained under Liu Rong's careful guidance and care. If it weren't for training in the sun every day, his skin would definitely be as white, tender and smooth as a newborn baby. Now Su Xiang's face is in a healthy wheat color, which looks very sunny.
The most eye-catching thing on his face is the cold but resolute eyes that are as cold as the night sky, exuding a breathtaking light. That ordinary face looks particularly elegant, calm and confident because of the guidance of those eyes.
Su Xiang was wearing a white vest made of black sky silk, which was the same style as the one Zhang Sanfeng had given him before, but the weight of this vest had increased to fifty kilograms!
Seeing that Su Xiang was making rapid progress, the 30 kilogram load had no effect on Su Xiang's actions, Zhang Sanfeng asked Su Xiang to put on a 50 kilogram vest. Su Xiang is gradually adapting.
Su Xiang jumped out of bed, picked out a few pieces of clothes from the wardrobe and put them on his body.
"Strange, why do your pants seem to have become shorter?" Su Xiang looked at the shorter jeans and grabbed his head in confusion, "Is it their prank again?"
Su Xiang took off his jeans and carefully identified his trouser legs, but there was no sign of being cut.
Why do my pants shorten before? Could it be... Is it because I have grown taller?!
Su Xiang's eyes lit up and walked quickly to the door of the dormitory building. There was a height and weight tester. As long as you invest one yuan in coins, you can know your height and weight.
Su Xiang threw a coin and stood on the tester in a nervous mood.
His former height was only 1.74 meters, and such a height was not as low as he could. Murong Xiner would be taller as he would be taller as he did whenever she put on high heels.
"Shit", a piece of paper pops up at the exit.
"He is 1.79 meters tall, haha, I've really grown taller! I've grown taller!" Su Xiang immediately cheered after seeing the numbers on the paper.
But then, the smile on his face froze-
"The system stipulates that it is prohibited to make loud noises in public places without reason. If you violate this regulation, you will be punished with intensity two. Given that you are using the Tenglong Growth Assistant Super Gold Enhancement Edition, all punishments will be doubled on the original basis. You will be punished with intensity four, and you will be executed immediately!" When Su Xiang cheered, Xiaodie's sweet voice sounded in his ears.
Gritting his teeth and enduring the punishment of intensity of four, Su Xiang's smile on his face was extremely bleak, and he thought to himself: Is this the result of extreme happiness bringing sorrow?
