Chapter 158
It is not difficult to guess that the little jade bottle contains poison. Xiao Bai wanted to poison all the fish in the lake, and wait until the fire-scaled carp floated to the water before fishing them up.
Xunzi just explained that he should not catch it by force and damage the fish scales. Apart from this, he did not make any more detailed regulations. Xiao Bai came up with the idea of poisoning, but although it was very insidious, it did not violate the teacher's instructions.
Wen Qing still couldn't accept it, so he rushed forward with a sharp force and took away the little jade bottle. He was rarely angry and glared at Xiao Bai, obviously thinking that his methods were too despicable and despicable.
"You just said that the teacher asked us to fish for it to nourish young people. Why do you have to poison the fish and shrimps in a blink of an eye? You do this completely goes against the teacher's will!"
Xiao Bai sneered and forced the jade bottle back, saying, "In your eyes, am I so stupid? This bottle contains a hundred years of spring, which is true that it can poison fish and shrimps, but the toxicity is easy to resolve. I will take out the fire-scaled carp and save them again!"
Wen Qing was speechless and didn't know how to refute it.
It is difficult to save the dead, but it is simple to save the dead fish. It is worthy of being the second Confucian scholar. Xiao Bai's idea cleverly took advantage of the loopholes, which could not only quickly catch fire-scaled carp, but also not violate Xunzi's orders, leaving Wen Qing with nothing to say.
However, Wen Qingmei frowned, believing that this method was vicious and not done by a gentleman, and Xiao Bai, as a noble disciple of Xun Sheng, could not do it.
Seeing that Xiao Bai was about to poison, he said coldly, "Even if you can eliminate the toxins of the fire-scaled carp, they are supplements for patients after all. If Yang Zheng knew that the fish was poisoned, how would he think of you?"
Xiao Bai's eyes were indifferent, and the muscles on the corners of his mouth were twitching, without an answer.
Wen Qing persuaded earnestly, "The teacher often said that we should treat people with sincerity. If you give them the fish you get like this, do you have any sincerity? The result is good, but we also have to pay attention to the process!"
When you send the dead and resurrected fish back, others naturally can't see the clues, and it seems nothing wrong. But if you use another example, disinfect the cup filled with urine and then use it to hold water for others to drink, will the other party feel disgusted and think you are bullying him?
Xiao Bai disagreed, "I told you before that a process without results is meaningless at all! Although you must be sincere in dealing with people, the method is more important! Do you have sincerity? Have you caught half a fish for your future junior brothers?"
Wen Qing's face turned pale and was so angry that she clenched her fists and said, "I would rather confess to them that I can't catch fish than deceive them. I will take such sinister and dirty methods to give them the poisoned fish!"
Xiao Bai laughed, and his harsh laughter echoed by the lake, "Would you like it or not? That's your business, what do you have to do with me? If you want to fish here, then you can continue. I'm going to take the fire-scaled carp back to see the teacher!"
Before he finished speaking, his body rushed towards the center of the lake like an arrow leaving the string.
Wen Qing was shocked and knew that Xiao Bai wanted to use powerful means, so he hurriedly chased him. Unfortunately, as soon as he stepped into the lake, the huge water curtain suddenly rushed out of the bottom of the lake, floating around him, surrounding him and blocking his sight.
Xiao Bai's voice came from behind the water scene, revealing a joke, "The kind will enjoy the mountains, and the wise will enjoy the water. Brother, you are cultivating the earth attributes. Although you restrain my water attributes, it is difficult to decide the winner in a moment, and it is enough for me to poison..."
Wen Qing is undoubtedly a loyal and kind person, while Xiao Bai disdained his style and wanted to solve the problem with wisdom. Over the past ten years, similar debates have occurred thousands of times, and never decided the outcome, and even Xunzi was helpless.
When the water curtain fell, Xiao Bai stood opposite him with his hands behind his back and looked at his senior brother with a smile.
"Cheng Ren, I won this game."
The next moment, the lake water rolled, and a stinking smell surged out. Countless dead fish floated out, with silver belly floating on the water. This picture looked cruel and disgusting.
Xiao Bai's plan succeeded, and he saw the blood-red fire-scaled carp on his body at a glance, and rushed over and picked them up and put them into a fish basket. As for Wen Qing, even if he was sincere and willing to sit by the lake, it would be impossible.
Wen Qing's face was snow-white, not only because of the stinking, but more because of her anger at Xiao Bai.
He tolerated his junior brother countless times. In the past, he was just a dispute over ideas and did not involve others. He was willing to put aside the conflict. At worst, he would never interact with each other. But today, it was related to the teacher's orders and the seriously ill young people, and it was more than the winner between the two.
Xiao Bai was too bullying, and he couldn't bear it anymore. The anger he had continued for many years completely erupted.
He clenched his fists and said nothing, rushed behind Xiao Bai and punched him suddenly.
The gentleman, who has always been gentle, actually took the initiative to fight!
With a loud bang, Xiao Bai was knocked away and fell heavily to the shore. When he got up, blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, and he was obviously injured, but unexpectedly, not only was he not angry, but was filled with a happy smile.
"A gentleman doesn't speak, haha, the senior brother who has always been etiquette has learned to attack! This is not the way you stick to!"
He walked towards him, waved his fists and smashed him towards Wen Qing.
This pair of brothers who are incompatible with each other have quarreled countless times, but this is the first time they have started fighting!
In the hut, when everyone saw this scene, their expressions changed drastically. This was just a test. Unexpectedly, such a serious conflict between the master and the second master broke up completely with this fuse!
"I'll stop them!"
Zhang Cang reacted very quickly and quickly walked out the door, ready to go and persuade the fight.
If a civil strife caused by a test of recruiting disciples, then he and Han Fei and Li Si are sinners and are ashamed of Master Xun Sheng.
"return!"
Xunzi slapped the table hard, obviously very annoyed, glaring at Zhang Cang fiercely, and angrily scolded, "How can you interrupt me! If I need to persuade the fight, I will naturally speak. It's not your turn to get involved!"
Zhang Cangru was struck by lightning, froze there, and did not dare to move at all.
Seeing this, Yang Zheng's expression was very complicated. He could guess that Xunzi was well aware of the temperament of his two beloved disciples and should have expected that they would quarrel on the lakeside. Unfortunately, the conflict this time has intensified unprecedentedly, far exceeding expectations.
Xunzi, with a stern face, witnessed the fierce battle between Qingbai and the two of them, and said in a deep voice, "As the saying goes, it's better to be quiet than to be blocked. Their dispute has been accumulated for a long time, and sooner or later will break out. I was not surprised by this battle. I just didn't expect that it would happen today."
He had long wanted to resolve the conflict between Qingbai and the two of them. He originally hoped to bring Yang Zheng into the door and mediate in the center, which should help resolve it. But things in the world were unpredictable, and Yang Zheng could not join in the end and became the junior brother who both loved.
He didn't want to stop this fight today, nor should he stop him.
Just fight and vent, just teach everyone a lesson.
