On the one hand, because of the pressure of life, we will always do things that are not what we want. Just like Zhou Dong said, kindness is rare, wouldn't it be good to leave it to your younger brothers and sisters? Can you still be so rich that you can give it to irrelevant people?
On the other hand, there are clear grievances and we cannot always think about "reflection". Many things need to be reflected on by others.
Isn’t the old saying true?
How to repay kindness with kindness?
Repay kindness with kindness, repay hatred with kindness!
Bailang would not let his younger brothers and sisters be bullied in school and have to be taught "reflection" when they turn around. Whoever hits you, hit him back. If you can't win, just keep it in your mind, there will always be a time when you can get revenge.
So after Bai Yuankai's injury was almost healed, he tied cowhide on his arms and went to school with a wooden stick in his arms. When he came back that afternoon, Bai Yuankai had obvious bruises and swelling on his face and head, but he was in a good mood. He was jumping up and down, not caring that his sister Bai Yan next to him was heartbroken and scolded.
"Brother, I beat them all! I beat them all until they cried for their parents. If my sister hadn't stopped me in the end, I would have beaten them until their parents didn't even recognize them!"
As soon as he entered the house, Bai Yuankai rushed to Bai Lang to "report the good news". He left well prepared today, but it was unexpected. Who would have thought that after recovering from his injury, Bai Yuankai would dare to take the initiative to hit someone with one enemy? They were beaten to the point where they were scurrying around, and the last four or five people were forced into a corner by Bai Yuankai and ate hundreds of sticks alive. Although Bai Yuankai was also bruised, several of his own people were beaten even worse.
Bailang, the kid from the Wa'er family, just took it as a joke. Although he is still a half-grown kid in the eyes of many people at his current age, his soul is really that of an adult. Understand that this sibling feud is settled on their level. Those troublemaking children must not dare to provoke Bai Yuankai and Bai Yan again.
As for the rest, it should be about him being an older brother.
"Okay, be careful from now on. If anyone bullies you or bullies your sister, you beat him like you did today. But the ugly words are ahead. You can't bully others for nothing, and don't fight for injustice. Take care of yourself. Don’t worry about the rest. Do you understand?”
"I understand, brother." Bai Yuankai nodded in agreement, then jumped up and went to wash his hands and get ready to eat.
Unlike Bai Yuankai who was happy, Bai Yan looked worried.
"Brother, I was beaten up by Mao Tou, and my previous anger was gone. But there are a lot of troubles. Mao Tou beat people so hard, those people will definitely go back and complain. The old masters in the school are also angry. If it doesn’t work, I’ll ask you to go there tomorrow. I’m afraid you’ll have to lose money.”
Bai Yan was actually very happy to see the person who bullied her and her brother get beaten up, but she couldn't be happy when she thought about the trouble she would have to deal with later. At a young age, he is as mature as an adult.
"Haha, you don't need to worry about these things. My brother will take care of it. Don't they say that he is a bad person? Bad people naturally have their ways, how can they be bullied by others? Okay, let's go clean our hands and eat. I came back early today and did some random things..."
Early the next morning, Bailang went to the East Market as usual. After walking around, he went to tell Zhou Dong that he might be delayed for half a day. Zhou Dong asked curiously, and after hearing this, he smiled and said that if you have any trouble, you can go to him. He is not a great person, so he dares to take the initiative to make trouble with the people in the knife shop? Anyway, he has never seen such a fool, and it is just a good opportunity to gain some knowledge.
The school is in the north of the city, actually not too far from the townhouse where Bai Lang lives. It can be reached by walking quickly along the sidewalk beside the waterway and burning an incense stick.
Because it is a public school, except for the large area, everything else is well built. The old masters inside were also hired by the city lord's mansion. Belongs to an organization similar to a yamen.
But in the final analysis, it's just an elementary school. If you want to continue studying in Shangcheng Academy, it depends on your luck. However, the higher-level city courtyard is not in Yongchuan City, and the closest one is in Jiangjing City, more than two hundred miles away.
"Who are you looking for?"
A concierge at the school stopped Bai Lang. He probably saw a short knife on Bai Lang's waist, so he frowned slightly and looked a little wary.
"I am the elder brother of Bai Yuankai from the Meng Xue Ding School. Today I am here to look for Old Master Wang. Please let me know." Bai Lang cupped his hands and spoke kindly.
"Oh! Wait a minute, I'll go over and report." The concierge was relieved when he heard the name. But I don't dare to be negligent. Those who dare to walk around with a knife on their waist are not ordinary people in this world.
Not long after, the concierge came back and led Bai Lang into the school. He passed through the corridor on the left, passed the main building of the school where students gathered, and arrived at the public room prepared for the old masters at the back. Bai Lang also met here the old master Wang Yanbin, the lecturer of the D-zi class where Bai Yuankai and Bai Yan studied.
"Bai Lang has met Old Master Wang. Is the old Master in good health?" As he said this, Bai Lang placed a letter of peach cake bought on the way here on the old Master's desk. It's not a high-end item, but Wang Yanbin likes it, so it's a casual gift to show respect.
"You, you, I told you that you don't need these, but you don't listen. Every time..." Wang Yanbin smiled and shook his head. It was hard for him to reject Bailang's courtesy.
"It's rare that I come to see the old master empty-handed. Do I need to be polite? Besides, the old master has worked so hard for my two young children. I don't think this snack is enough." Bai Lang was polite again. He had no objection to the thin old man in his sixties in front of him. On the contrary, in his opinion, the other man was already fulfilling his duties. It's all about making ends meet, so he can't ask for too much.
Wang Yanbin smiled, stroked his beard and said: "Okay, let's just treat these peach cakes as a shock. Your brother really scared me. Before he was beaten, I thought the kid was honest and cruel. He punished the students who beat him. He thought that would be the end of it. But he didn't expect that it would happen like this.
A total of five people were injured, two with bruises on their heads and three with bruises on their noses and faces. I checked with the doctor in the school who knew medical skills. They were all skin injuries, but they were not serious. The most annoying thing is that I will probably have to be lame for another half month before I can get better.
So, I have to let you make this trip. "
"How do you think Old Master Wang should handle this matter?" Bai Lang asked with an unchanging smile.
"It depends on how you talk to the families of the injured students. Our school will not interfere. But I heard that those five families are all wealthy old men from Dazhangzhuang on the outskirts of the city, raising chickens and ducks, so they are a bit difficult to deal with. You It’s better to count.”
Wang Yanbin likes Bai Yuankai and Bai Yan, two students with excellent academic performance, and has a good impression of Bai Lang. He was even happy to make friends with a young swordsman like Bai Lang. Who can say that they will not encounter many things in their lifetime? There are all kinds of ways, right?
