The next day, when the rooster crowed, You Zi rushed back to the classroom early for the first time.
There were only a few students in the classroom. He breathed a sigh of relief. When no one was paying attention, he quietly took out an iron saw as thin as a hemp rope from his pocket, clamped it between two hemp ropes, and then began to quickly saw the wood.
Wood shavings floated down. In just the time it took to smoke a cigarette, the table was covered in a thick layer of wood shavings.
More and more students entered the classroom. You Zi had no choice but to slow down his movements. He was not in a hurry. With the secret " weapon " in his hand, the small iron saw, he could sawn the wood in advance without waiting for the ancient tree to bloom. He would definitely pass the assessment.
He simply stopped and looked at the students on both sides who were working hard to saw wood with a relaxed expression, paying special attention to Wei Zi and Zhang Zi's seats.
The sun was high up in the sky, and the two arrogant men had not yet risen to the top. Wei Zi often used the word " man " to call You Zi, which made him very unhappy, but he did not dare to be angry or say anything.
In fact, he was not weak at all. It was just that for some reason, from the moment he and Wei Zi were classmates, he was completely "suppressed" by Wei Zi's domineering aura! For no reason, he was always in awe of Wei Zi and never dared to contradict Wei Zi. Even if Wei Zi called him a prostitute and looked at him with disdain, he would still smile like a soft cotton ball.
Right now, he was giving the nickname of " Huizi " back to Wei Zi in his heart to vent his anger.
He looked out of the window as if he had lost something. He felt strange. Why did he care so much about those two? What did it have to do with him whether they came back or not? It didn't matter to him whether they passed or not.
With this thought in mind, he turned his gaze to Wei Zi. Look, that silly wood was using a rope to "saw" the wood.
He stood up and walked to Wei Zi's side, giggling,"
"Hehe, silly wood, sawn slowly. Don't be in a hurry! It's still far from the blooming of the ancient tree!"
Wei Zi originally thought that Wei Zi and Zhang Zi had not returned, so his ears were quiet. He did not expect that there was still You Zi. This guy who liked to gloat, Wei Zi did not have the time to pay attention to him. He continued to bury his head in the sawmill, causing him to be snubbed.
To be honest, Wei Zi had a thousand reasons not to like to see that ancient tree bloom. The most important one was that whenever the ancient tree bloomed, many mud people would leave and never return!
He had always been worried that his old grandmother would leave him when the ancient tree bloomed. However, things were often like this. The more worried you were, the more likely it was that something would happen!
What Wei Zi was worried about still happened.
When he returned home from school, he saw his father squatting by the unfinished wall as usual, burying his head in the wall. The only difference was that his hair had turned white like frost and he looked much older.
"I'm back!"
"It's good that you're back!" His father had a lot on his mind. He didn't say anything more and continued to build the wall with his head lowered.
He pushed open the door and shouted into the house,"
"Grandma, I'm back!"
The room was abnormally quiet!
He walked into Grandma's room and was surprised to find that the old bed was empty. Grandma was nowhere to be seen. An ominous thought occupied his mind.
He hurriedly ran out of the house and went outside.
"Where is Dad and Grandma?"
"She's gone on a long trip!"
"Where did she go? Are you coming back?"
"A very distant place. I won't be coming back!”
Wei Zi's heart seemed to have been hollowed out, and tears of sorrow instantly filled his eyes.
His grandmother, who had depended on him for survival, had left. Now, only his father lived with him. He stood there in a daze and did not cry loudly. He just let his tears silently flow across his face, silently roll down, and silently seep into the dust.
His mind was filled with Grandma's kind face, and his ears echoed with Grandma's nagging countless times. After a long time, he slowly recovered.
Father Wei had been squatting by the wall with his back to his son. He did not make a sound, as if he was very focused on building the wall. In the quiet courtyard, only the sound of knocking bricks and shoveling mud could be heard.
Wei Zi looked at his father's thin back and his head of white hair. His heart suddenly felt very cold and his body trembled slightly. He really wanted to walk over and hug his father!
He was so afraid that his father would one day go away like his grandmother and never come back, leaving him alone!
However, he resisted the urge. He was afraid of disturbing his father's work on the wall. In his heart, he was a little jealous of the wall because his father paid more attention to it than to him.
He made up his mind to become a Chongshan man! He could only see his mother and grandmother after becoming a Chongshan person!
He turned around silently and walked toward the house with heavy steps.
He didn't see that just as he turned to leave, his father stopped building the wall and lowered his head. His shoulders began to shake violently. The emotions of this wooden man were so restrained and reserved.
He believed that even if a man lost his teeth, he had to swallow them with blood and tears! No matter how bitter, tired, or sorrowful he was, he had to hide it in the bottom of his heart. Even if his heart was filled with tenderness and love, he had to keep it away. Then, through the repetitive and monotonous work every day, he would slowly turn it into a roof and wall for his family to shelter from the wind and rain!
No matter what happened, the merciless days continued to pass unhurriedly.
In the blink of an eye, as a quiet drizzle drifted into the night with the wind, the withered branches of the ancient tree blossomed into bright yellow buds.
Wei Zi had already sawed through the 31st hemp rope. To be precise, the piece of wood on Wei Zi's table had already been " ground " by the hemp rope, but it was not even one-tenth of the wood.
Facing such slow progress, Wei Zi still firmly believed that he would definitely be able to pass the test when the first flower bloomed on the ancient tree.
His classmates all laughed at him for being a fool's dream. It was as if he was applying rouge in his dreams. However, You Zi told the laughing classmate to shut up!
You Zi had been secretly using his " Insect Carving Technique ". When he switched to the fifth small saw, he was the first to saw the thick wood in half on the morning when the ancient tree's buds sprouted green leaves.
Under the flabbergasted gazes of his classmates, he was like a victor. He glanced at Wei Zi smugly, as if to say, Look, I, You Zi, am not an empty servant!
Wei Ziyuan stared at You Zi in disbelief, but the truth was already in front of him. On You Zi's table, his piece of wood was indeed split into two halves.
The students present were in an uproar and asked him for advice.
"Unbelievable-you saw it off before it was time!”
"Wow-how did you cut it?”
"That's right. Even if you don't sleep at night and saw it all the time, it's impossible for you to cut it off so quickly.”
"Zhan! You're so powerful!"
"We all work as hard as you, but how can you cut it off so easily?”
"If I had to guess, did you use some unorthodox methods?”
"You can say whatever you want! Anyway, I sawed it off and passed! You can't be unconvinced!"
After all, You Zi felt a little guilty and just wanted to leave. She packed her bag and left, saying,
"I'll wait for the first flower to bloom on the ancient tree, and then I'll come back to get that pass.”
Looking at his back as he left, Wei Zi and Zhang Zi completely lost their balance in their hearts. Their eyes were burning with jealousy. They had always believed that this was impossible. No one could get that pass.
However, they were wrong. Now that someone had actually succeeded, they could no longer sit idly by and watch.
Wei Zi picked up the wood on You Zi's table and looked at the saw carefully. He suddenly realized,
"F * ck! Look--the saw-off marks are all cut--this kid is really playing tricks!”
"Since he can do this, so can we!”
"Hmph, tomorrow, we'll bring back a metal saw!”
"I brought an axe back. Anyway, the old teacher isn't here, so there's no one to supervise!”
"Sawing it off is the last word-whatever it takes!”
Some students gave up on using hemp rope to saw wood and came up with other more effective methods.
Only Wei Zi raised an objection,"
"Isn't this a bad idea? Although we cut the wood, we didn't follow the teacher's instructions. He asked us to cut the wood with a rope!”
"That's none of your business. Don't stop us from taking the shortcut! You should just continue to use the hemp rope to saw your wood, haha…"
Wei Zi and Zhang Zi laughed mockingly.
Huizi looked at Wei Zi with a hemp rope in her hand and asked hesitantly,"
"Can we use the iron saw?"
Wei Zi answered firmly,"
"No!"
"But, I'm worried that using hemp rope is too slow…If the saw can't cut through, we won't be able to pass…"
"Huizi, don't worry, persevere. You're already much faster than me! I believe that we will definitely be able to pass!”
Huizi had always listened to Wei Zi's words and nodded. She and a few of her classmates listened to Wei Zi's advice and did not throw down the hemp rope in their hands.
Seeing that the ancient tree outside the classroom was about to bloom, there were only a few students in the classroom who insisted on the rope saw. Of course, Wei Zi and Hui Zi were among them.
However, ever since Azuko discovered that tears had a catalyzing effect on wood, she quietly sprinkled her tears on Wei Zi's wood, as well as on the wood of the few students who insisted on the rope saw. Therefore, the physical effect of the hemp rope and the chemical effect of the tears made their rope saw much faster. There was hope that they could cut the wood when the ancient tree bloomed.
This made Wei Zi and Zhang Zi unhappy.
They had secretly borrowed an iron saw and had long since cut the wood. Now they were sitting and waiting to get their passes.
The bored Wei Zi treated Wei Zi as a target for fun. He was most unwilling to see Wei Zi successfully pass the test, so he and Zhang Zi discussed how to make Wei Zi unable to pass the test.
" Let's dig a trap on his way home..." Before Zhang Zi could finish, Wei Zi knocked on his head.
"You sweet potato, before he fell into the trap, the pig and dog went down first!!”
"Then we'll steal all of his hemp rope so that he can't find any rope to cut wood…"
This time, Zhang Zi's head hurt even more. Wei Zi knocked his head hard again and gave him chestnuts to eat. He cried out in pain.
"Ouch-what did I say wrong again?”
"You sweet potato, if we steal his rope, won't he get it from somewhere else?”
"Hey-you're clever, so tell me-what's the plan for him?”
" I've thought of a good idea. We just need to move his bag and we can make him…Hehe." Wei Zi laughed sinisterly.
Zhang Zi knew that Wei Zi was like a moldy winter melon with a belly full of bad water. He asked submissively,
"Boss, what is it?"
"Yellow people are sick, and yellow skies are rainy. I think there might be a heavy rain this afternoon!”
"So what?"
"When you get close to that blunt spear, take out his raincoat bag from his school bag when he's not paying attention!”
"And then?"
Wei Zi took out a tightly packed bag from his school bag.
"Steal his raincoat and then put this bag in his school bag. You have to do it without anyone noticing.”
Zhang Zi took the bag from Wei Zi and weighed it in his hand. It was quite heavy, so he asked curiously,"
"What is this?"
"Thunder stone!"
"What? Thunder stone? That…that…stone of death that easily attracts lightning?”Zhang Zi was shocked and stuttered.
"That's right!"
"What you're doing-you're killing him! Boss, are we going to get burnt…"
Zhang Zi's head hurt even more. Once again, Zhang Zi ate a solid meal of " millet ".
"F * ck! You big sweet potato, I'm going to kill him. It's more efficient and satisfying this way!”
"I…I…"
Zhang Zi was still hesitating. He had never thought of killing someone. Although Wei Zi was Wei Zi's sworn enemy and he had a relationship with Wei Zi, he had never thought of killing Wei Zi.
"What do you mean by I-do as I say!”Wei Zi said in an unquestionable tone.
"Boss, if he finds out…"
"You often steal chickens and dogs, and you're familiar with it. This small matter is simply a piece of cake for you!”
Hearing Wei Zi praise him, Zhang Zi felt a little smug. He patted his chest and agreed.
