Chapter 1948 Despair...

Jiao Quren walked out slowly, carrying a burden on his back.

He glanced at Fan Ying who was rubbing his butt, and said, "People in Xu Yuan don't want to move."

After speaking, he walked past Fan Ying slowly with his burden on his back, without any respect.

This is his final explanation for this mission!

Fan Ying tilted her head and watched him go out, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

A petty official waiting behind who wanted to flatter came over quietly and said in a low voice, "My lord, he left by himself."

Fan Ying said sternly: "Young people nowadays! How can you become a pillar if you are impatient and impatient? Hey! This officer is thinking too much. He is a student of the academy. Xinghebo can change places at will, and he can still make a fortune in the future. .”

His worried appearance attracted the admiration of the little official: "Master, you are worrying about him! But you don't appreciate him when you look at him, be careful!"

Fan Ying said approvingly: "You are not bad, do a good job."

The little official was trembling with excitement, and blurted out a series of flattery.

Disgust flashed in Fan Ying's eyes, and she said, "Go and follow him, don't let him commit suicide."

The little official thought it was important, so he ran out in a hurry.

Fan Ying sneered, and Shi Shi ran home. He was going to have a drink when he was going home, and then had a good night's sleep.

As for whether Jiao Quren would commit suicide, he didn't worry at all after he arranged for the little official to watch over him.

Isn't the Academy not satisfied with the death of someone who will take the blame?

No matter how good your pen is, Fang Xing, you can't blame others for the sake of one student.

Thinking of the praise of the county magistrate Wang Xu just now, Fan Ying's eyes became more fiery.

The students of the academy should not use Huan County as a springboard for promotion. This is the consensus of the two of them.

Once Jiao Quren was promoted from Huan County, the bigger his official position in the future, the worse he and Wang Xu would be in everyone's eyes, and they would even become scum of famous teachers.

So it's better to drive away!

You are so awake, we can't afford to offend you, but it's always okay to send the plague god away, right?

Fan Ying hummed a ditty, thinking that Wang Xu promised to recommend her to the higher-ups first, but felt that even the sunset was a little bit more beautiful, and her breath was full of excitement.

Just when he entered the house, when Jiao Quren was staying at the only inn in Huan County, the city gate was about to be closed.

"Slow down!"

The half-closed city gate stopped, and the veteran shouted: "Someone is coming, reopen the city gate!"

Someone said: "But this is against the rules."

The veteran scolded: "Rules are for people. This is a cavalry soldier. If you are on your way at this time, you must have something important to do. Why don't you close one?"

The man murmured, "Isn't it a horse bandit?"

The veteran slapped him on the back of the head and cursed: "Your sister Ma, help me!"

Under the setting sun, a troop of cavalry rushed up.

The veteran glanced at it, then lowered his head and said, "May I ask if you have business in Huan County?"

...

The store has asked twice,

But Jiao Quren didn't want to eat dinner.

The setback of failure made him heartbroken.

Doubts about his own abilities made him as powerless as if he had collapsed, he couldn't even move, he just wanted to sit like this until the eternity of time...

He didn't complain, because Xie Jin and Fang Xing had said all this many times in the academy.

The students of the academy and those people are natural enemies. After becoming an official, you must be vigilant and learn to use methods to resist all kinds of open and hidden arrows.

But he didn't expect that the officials in Huan County wanted to force him away, but he was caught off guard and had no room to respond.

He didn't light the lamp, and the sun gradually set, and the room became dark.

He stared at the last gleam of light, his eyes glazed over.

The light gradually dissipated, and his eyes remained dull.

Then, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he wanted to keep that light by his side.

He was in a daze in the dark, holding a rope in his hand.

He bought it in a shop that was about to close, and he hadn't even forgotten what he was thinking of buying the rope.

His breathing gradually became more rapid, then calmer, and he got up and sat down again.

Frustration has gradually turned into despair.

He was not reconciled, he didn't want to be the first student of the academy to be sent back.

He felt ashamed to go back to see those teachers and classmates.

He remembered what he said to his juniors at that time, he was so high-spirited at that time, he felt that he could shake the whole world.

But now... the world hit him hard!

He has no face...

Sadness slowly filled his chest.

I want revenge on them!

What can be used to retaliate?

The means they use are aboveboard, and they are justified wherever they go.

If you are not effective in doing things, you are only asked to quit, not to be fired. This is an extrajudicial favor.

What else do you want?

No! I still have a way!

His eyes gradually became dull, his breathing was almost inaudible, and his chest rose and fell slightly, only once in a while. Finally, he stood up blankly and threw the rope onto the beam. After throwing it four or five times in a row, he remembered that he needed to tie something to the end of the rope for counterweight.

His brain was dizzy, and he just instinctively remembered something. The whole person is like a doll, stiffly putting a rope on himself.

/> It was as if someone was driving him to do all this.

As night fell, the wind blew in through the wide-open window, making a book on the table chug, as if a hand were turning the pages.

There was no light in the room, relying on the dim light outside, Jiao Quren slowly tied the noose, the technique was still taught by the academy.

Puff puff!

The wind suddenly picked up, blowing the book on the table almost to the point of rolling over.

The last page was blown up, and the weight of the two ends was unbalanced, and the whole book fell over heavily.

puff!

Jiao Quren slowly got on the chair. In the darkness, he held the noose with both hands and stared out the window dully.

There are a few lights outside the window, which are the lights of people in Huan County.

He let go of the noose, and straightened his clothes.

The noose began to swing, hitting Jiao Quren's chin repeatedly.

He picked up the noose again and approached slowly...

"Is it on the second floor?"

A question from outside was like lightning piercing through Jiao Quren's stupor.

The rope is already around the neck, just lean forward and kick the chair off...

Terrified, he involuntarily pushed away the noose, his body slipped limply and fell down, and finally sat on the chair with his legs limply drooping on the ground.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, but Jiao Quren remained motionless.

Knock knock!

When there was a knock on the door, Jiao Quren's body moved a bit, and he asked, "Who?

It was only after the words came out that he realized that he was extremely hoarse, just like when he was sick with a cold that year.

"Are you sure it's here?

A voice Jiao Quren had heard came from outside the door, followed by the shopkeeper's flattering words: "Yes, my lord, I live here."

"Then you go down."

The footsteps came again, then went downstairs, and faded away.

"who?"

Jiao Quren asked again. He had some impressions of the voice just now, but now he is not in a good state of mind, so he doesn't remember it.

"Boom!"

The person outside the door did not answer, and after a loud noise, the door was forcibly knocked open.

In the darkness, Jiao Quren got up slowly, leaned on the back of the chair and turned around.

There were three men standing outside the door. The man who hit the door took a step back and searched the room with his eyes.

The man in the middle shouted: "Light up the lamp!"

The torch was ignited, the knife came in and found the oil lamp, lit it and picked the wick.

Light comes!

"The head of the mountain..."

The dusty Fang Xing looked at Jiao Quren who was kneeling in front of him, and then at the noose dangling in front of the chair not far away. He asked expressionlessly, "Do you want to commit suicide?"

Jiao Quren only felt that all the grievances broke out at this moment, and he burst into tears instantly, choked up and said: "Shan Zhang..."

"Snapped!"

Fang Xing slapped Jiao Quren down with a slap, then walked over and stepped on the chair, opened the noose, sneered, "You still know how to use the strongest way to tie the noose, so you really want to die .”

Xin Laoqi went out to drink away the shopkeeper and fellows who heard the sound and came to check the situation, then stood outside and stared at the aisle.

Jiao Quren got up, knelt down in front of Fang Xing again, and said in a low voice: "Shan Zhang, the students are forced to have nowhere to go."

Fang Xing got out of the chair, sat down, moved his stiff neck, and said casually: "Tell me."

Jiao Quren recounted what happened to him after he arrived in Huanxian County, and finally said: "Shan Zhang, this kind of thing is unheard of. The students only regarded it as suppression. They actually wanted to force the students to leave."

Fang Xing looked at him coldly, and said, "Even if it is a failure, you still want to use such means to retaliate against them. Have you thought about your parents and family? Have you thought about the grief of the teachers and students in the academy after learning the news?" Is it worth it even if I smash those people into pieces afterwards?"

Jiao Quren was speechless, bowed his head and said, "Master Shan, the student is wrong."

Fang Xing's eyes were deep, and he sighed: "I taught you science, I taught you to be strong, but I forgot to teach you how to be human..."

Xin Laoqi suddenly whispered something to Fang Wu, and Fang Wu quietly went out through the window from the other side.

"A person has to go through a lot in his life. From ignorance at birth, ignorance at a young age, you have to experience many... setbacks if you want to mature and become an adult."

Fang Xing touched the top of Jiao Quren's head who was kneeling in front of him, and said softly, "There are many kinds of setbacks, which can make you feel miserable, make you feel that the world is full of gloom, and make you want to tear the day apart." , let the light fall in front of my eyes again..."

Jiao Quren listened piously...

On the street, a black figure quietly approached the window outside the inn. He put his ears close and listened.

Inside, the shopkeeper and the buddy were already trembling.

Just outside the inn, a man looked coldly at the black shadow hanging outside the window on the second floor.

"But don't give up. As long as you can live, there are infinite possibilities. For example, Su Wu, if he is desperate, how did he survive the bitter cold for more than ten years?"

Fang Xing touched the top of Jiao Quren's head, and sighed, "It's hope! It's hope that made him persevere until the end, and then the light will come. This is what I, the head of the mountain, want to teach you. Never lose hope for the future." Hope and longing, even if you are stuck in the mud, don't forget hope..."

"……compared to

Animals are more tolerant of frustration than humans because they have a clear purpose, which is to survive, mate, and raise their young. They are so focused that setbacks are just a hurdle for them, as long as they can survive, they just have to get over it. "

The lights flickered, and Fang Xing's voice gradually became higher-pitched.

"You still have a long way to go, remember, to live is hope. You are not even afraid of death, why should you be afraid of living?"

Fang Xing was furious like a father before, but now he is teaching gently like a father.

"Don't worry about these..."

Xin Laoqi quietly walked to the window facing the street.

Fang Xing looked towards the window and said sarcastically, "You idiots, you can't be your despair!"

The black shadow outside the window was startled, and then prepared to evacuate.

He slid down carefully, he was a little excited, because he felt that these news could be exchanged for a lot of rewards.

He landed and turned back.

A big hand was already waiting for him.

Hold your neck with your big hands and use your strength.

There was more despair in Soi Ying's eyes, and then the look in his eyes gradually dimmed.

"Fifth brother, don't you want to find out who it is?"

Fang Wu let go of his hand, and the black shadow fell to the ground slowly.

"No need, the master will come in person, those people will not get better."

...

"...Shan Zhang, the students never knew that a whole person can be arranged from the beginning like this, calmly, once you start it, you can't resist it, you just feel that you are incompetent..."

The night gradually deepened, and Huan County gradually became quiet.

"You are not incompetent. When I first recruited students, I asked for a little bit, not geniuses."

"Genius is so proud, and the academy doesn't have the energy to teach students according to their aptitude, so I don't like geniuses. But you... just have less experience, this is just a small setback, hold on."

Jiao Quren nodded, feeling that the experience just now was just a dream, and his eyes were bright.

"In the future, you will experience greater and more setbacks. Forget about despair and survive until the time comes and the light returns."

Fang Xing got up and said, "Go to bed early, and go out tomorrow morning."

Seeing Fang Xing walking to the door, Jiao Quren remembered that he had arrived in Huan County in the evening, so he said guiltily: "Master Shan, the students will think carefully about how to deal with them in the future."

Fang Xing stopped, nodded, and said, "They...they probably have no future."

He went down the stairs and into the lobby.

The shopkeeper and the assistants had already been driven to the back. Seventh Xin looked around and said, "Master, it's been cleaned up and you can move in."

Fang Xing was indeed tired. After Fang Wu came in to report the situation outside, he said, "It's just a trick, don't worry about it."

Huan County gradually fell asleep...
