Chapter 9 Crossing the sea on a mud boat
.
There is a book that says: Those who have accomplished great things in ancient and modern times must go through three realms: "Last night, the west wind withered the green trees, went up to the tall buildings alone, looking at the roads of the world"; this is the first realm. "I will never regret my clothes getting wider, and I will become haggard for her"; this is the second realm. "I searched for him for thousands of times, but when I looked back, the man was in the dim lights"; this is the last realm.
Three years later, Li Bai is no longer a baby.
Under the strict supervision of his father Li Ke, Li Bai began to learn to read various historical books, especially the Three Character Classic, Thousand Character Classic, and The Analects of Confucius. Although Li Bai did not understand the meaning of these scriptures and did not understand the truth, Li Ke asked Li Bai to read them several times every day. Otherwise, he would not be given food, play, or even sleep.
Li Bai often dozes off while he is chanting, or is absent-minded, thinking about how to play a lot after finishing his studies, and hates those paper, pen, ink and inkstones very much. Therefore, Li Bai is often taught by Li Ke, thugs by rulers, and is no longer a surprise to face the wall to think about his mistakes. Therefore, Li Bai becomes very afraid of his father Li Ke, especially when he makes mistakes.
Every time this happens, Yuewa will plead for Li Bai.
But Li Bai was stubborn and never refused to reduce the punishment he deserved, and dared to act. During the meal that day, Li Bai accidentally broke his bowl, and Li Gu punished Li Bai to wash fifty plates in the kitchen. However, because Li Bai was young, weak and not tall, he accidentally broke more than ten before he could start washing. Li Bai was so angry that he raised his feet and kicked him randomly. As a result, he accidentally kicked about twenty.
When Li Ke and Yue Wa found out, they were so angry that they felt so angry that they thought it was a sin to make mistakes and it was also a matter of parents. So Li Ke said, "Go to Bai'er, go to the study to face the wall and think about their mistakes. They are not allowed to come out without my permission."
"No!" Unexpectedly, Li Bai refused and said, "I fell one by one and washed fifty of them. The child hasn't finished washing yet, so I won't go."
"Have backbone!" Li Ke: "Then you wash it!"
After hearing this, Yuewa and Li Ke were actually helpless. They thought Li Bai was angry and could not hold on and could not complete it. After all, if this was calculated, at least two thousand dishes would have to be washed. Therefore, Li Ke and Yuewa ignored it and wanted Li Bai to retreat, so they came to beg for mercy and admit defeat. As a result, until midnight, Li Bai was still staying in the kitchen and washing dishes with his head.
"Madam!" Li Ke was puzzled when he heard this and asked Yuewa, "Do we have so many pots and pans in our house? Bai'er has been washed since noon. Can't he be possessed by a demon? "
"Sleep! Hou Gui is watching!" Yuewa turned over and pretended to be sleepy, but in fact she was always in her heart for eavesdropping, for fear that something would happen to Li Bai.
"Madam, you are so heart-wrenching!" Li Ke complained and said, "Bai'er is like this, do you still have the heart to sleep?"
"Puff!" Yuewa laughed so politely by Li, saying, "What else can I do if I don't sleep? Who told you to talk to Bai'er so harshly? Besides, don't you ever feel sorry for Bai'er?"
"Madam, what nonsense are you talking about?" Li Ke was anxious. In addition, it was dark, so he didn't see that Yuewa was deliberately teasing him. He was a little angry and said, "Bai'er is my son, how can I not feel sorry for him? You should go over and see what Bai'er is doing? If he is accidentally hit and knocked by a bowl and plate, then I will not be sad to death?"
"I'm sleepy, I won't go!" Yuewa deliberately turned over, wrapped the quilt on Li Ke's body, and said, "If you want to go, you can go by yourself!"
"Hmph!" Li Ke was furious: "Go and go!"
In this way, Li Ke was deceived, got up, put on his clothes, stepped out of the door, and came out of the kitchen. However, Li Ke did not rush in, but sneaked up to the wall to peek. Suddenly, he saw Li Bai chanting the Three Character Classic while washing the plate, and having a lot of fun.
But what made Li Ke feel strange was that Li Bai threw the washed dishes into the bucket and dirty them, then took them out to wash them, dirty them, and washed them over and over again. This made Li Ke puzzled and said to himself, "What's wrong with Bai'er? Why did the washed dishes have to be dirty and washed again? Could it be that they really became obsessed with evil spirits? No! I have to go in and stop Bai'er."
Li Ke said that he wanted to leave, but he didn't know that the reason why Li Bai did this was actually because the plates in the Li family were not enough for two thousand. So Li Bai washed them and dirty them, and then washed them again, so that he could collect two thousand plates.
At the same time, Hou Gui was sitting by the gate and dozing, his head was dizzy and his eyes were blurred. With a gust of wind, Hou Gui suddenly saw Li Ke sneaking in the wall, in a daze. Because it was raining and moonless tonight, the sky was too dark, so he could not see five fingers at all, so he could not see who was who was. Therefore, just by slashing his eyes, Hou Gui treated Li Ke as a little thief, trying to knock him out and take him to the official.
So, just as Li Ke took half a step, Hou Gui suddenly jumped out from behind, swinged the rolling dough stick with his hand, and without saying a word, he used a dark light under the lamp, and knocked it hard at the back of Li Ke's head. He went to the room and knocked Li Ke unconsciously and lay on the ground without waking up.
"Young Master!" Seeing that Hou Gui was so happy, he immediately called Li Bai to brush the plate in the kitchen and shouted, "Come on, come on, I have caught a big turtle for you!"
"Big turtle?" Li Bai was bored and bored when washing dishes. When he heard the three words "Big turtle", he immediately became very excited. While running out, he asked Uncle Gui: "Where? Where? Where is the Big turtle? Let me see."
"Young Master, what about this! What about this!" Hou Guilian waved his hand and said, "Look, this little thief was knocked out by the old slave when he thought of stealing food in our kitchen."
"Uncle Gui, you are so awesome!" It was so dark, and Li Bai didn't see clearly that the person he was his father. After a moment of silence, Li Bai waved his hand and suddenly said, "Uncle Gui, give me the rolling noodles. I want to hit him, so that he will not dare to come to the kitchen to steal food."
"Give it, young master!" Hou Gui handed the rolling noodles to Li Bai and said, "You can hit it hard when you get too big. After the fight, we will send him to the official position. Then we will receive the reward. How about the old slave buying you a big cake?"
"I don't have big cakes!" Li Bai took the rolling bar and said with a smile: "I heard from my father that there are species in the Central Plains that are rock candied haws. I want to eat this. Uncle Gui, would you buy me candied haws then?"
"Okay! Just buy candied haws!" Hou Gui agreed immediately, then pointed at Li Ke on the ground and said, "Come on the young master, fight hard. After the beating, let's go buy candied haws!"
"kindness!"
Li Bai was only three years old at that time, and he was innocent and thoughtless. He raised his rolling stick and wanted to beat it. At this moment, a voice suddenly came from not far behind him, and he hurriedly scolded: "Bai'er stopped, that's your father!"
This person was Yuewa. After Li Ke left the house, Yuewa did not sleep with confidence, but followed Li Ke quietly, fearing to scold Li Bai. He just heard Li Ke screaming "ah" and knew that something was wrong in his heart. He was about to go forward to see it, but suddenly heard the conversation between Hou Gui and Li Bai. When he learned that Li Bai was about to beat his father, Yuewa immediately appeared and scolded him, otherwise it would have caused a big trouble.
"Oh, it's miserable!"
