501 馮雨晨 李宜潔

    Church was worried sick about their safeties, hoping that they can travel at the nearby spot. After having some discussions, Joe, Church and Jasmine decide to take Confucius to Sanxia, where their school is located. On the way to the old street, they are having conversation with Confucius. “How come you were confined in this statue? Did you do something wrong?”, Jasmine asked. “Oh well, the reason can be traced back to fifty years ago when I am a teacher.” Confucius starts to talk about his event. “At that time, there was an outstanding student in my class named Mencius. He was so intelligent that he could answer all of my questions. However, rage bubble inside me because of his arrogance. One day I told him to be humble and never look down on other people. “It’s not your business!”, he said in anger with his hand pulling my collar. “Did you know what you’re doing?” I shouted, “I would let you write “Sorry to Confucius.” one thousand times as much as possible.” Are you kidding me? I prefer not to do it!”, Mencius shouted back and then used his magic to cast a spell on me. He suddenly turned me into the statue due to the fact that I couldn’t talk anymore. “How strange this man is．．．but don’t worry! We are saving you right now,”. Church said. They arrive at Sanxia old street while they are chatting. “Wait! Wait! Wait! Let me take a selfie in front of this street!”, Joe says in excitement. “Ok let’s go sightseeing! I want to escape from the statue quickly.” Without any hesitation, Joe, Church, Jasmine and Confucius run into the old street. “How about eating some foods to save our energies before we start our activities?”, Church reminded them. “Ok, let me introduce my favorite food for you guys. That’s Sanxia’s specialty “Golden Croissant”, which looks like a horn and make many tourists fall in love with. Do any of you want to try some?”, Jasmine said. However, no one has money with themselves. “It smells so good that I am eager to eat, but I forgot to bring money．．．”, someone has said in murmur. “Confucius has frozen the time, so we can take as much as we want sneakily.”, Joe said. “Oh my god! Can we really do such a bad thing like that?”, Church who always feels insecure said it in nervous.” “Anyway, nobody will know that we steal some breads, just take it!” Jasmine replied. “Wow! It is so delicious!”, Confucius seems amazed about it. “I love that and what is the next famous food of Sanxia?” “Oh! Oh! It’s my turn, let me take you to eat the popular specialty named “Pig Blood Cake.”, Joe said. “What’s that? Blood? Sounds scary!”, Confucius feels a little bit nervous.” “Try some! Oh wait. Let’s take a selfie first, say cheese!”, Joe said it with his right hand holding his cellphone and left hand holding four pig blood cakes. “Umm．．．It’s better than I imagined. So yummy!”, Confucius said after he takes a bite. “Thanks for your comment. I am very happy about that!”, Joe replied. “Love you guys. However, I’m about to be full. Are there other landmarks nearby?”, he asked. “Blue-Dye store! As a Sanxia citizen, I have never been there before, I want to check it out!”, Church said. “Blue-Dye? What’s that?”, Confucius asked. “My teacher has taught me Blue-Dye culture when I am an elementary student. Let me tell you the history about it”, Church seems exciting and starts his speech. “Blue-Dye paints are distributed all over the world, forming by a very unique industrial technology and a long history of Blue-Dye culture in many countries. Hundred years ago, Sanxia was an important center of Blue-Dye industry.” While Church is talking, Joe and Jasmine feel asleep. “Hey! Two of you please wake-up, that is not respect to me, I haven’t finish yet!”, Church said in a little bit anger. “Come on! don’t say that much, Blue-Dye is a cool thing that you can make a beautiful pattern by yourself. Not only that, your work can turn into clothes, handkerchief, scarf and so on.”, Joe takes out his Blue-Dye handkerchief and show it to Confucius. “Like this.” “Although the making process is quite difficult, but it’s very interesting and the work is extremely beautiful. Let’ do it!”, Jasmine said it in happy. “Ok, thanks for the explanations from you two. Let’s go.”, Church said. Four of them have a good time In the Blue-Dye store and Confucius make a Blue-Dye manual book. “I will commemorate it well. Thank you so much and what’s our next attraction?” “Oh my god, we forget Qingshui Zushi Temple! It is a well-known landmark in Sanxia and I always go there for praying if I can get a good grade on my exam and also praying that all of my family and friends can be healthy forever.”, Jasmine said. “I want to make a supplement! The sculptures in Qinschui Zushi Temple is personally created by a deceased artist, Li Mui-Su. He’s very famous and there is his memorial hall nearby, maybe we can visit there after praying what we want here.”, Joe replied. “Oh, I really want to pray for the Buddha’s forgiveness due to the fact that we eat and play without paying money.”, Church feels nervous and murmurs about that with his palms put together. “I hope I can get out of this statue immediately.”, Confucius closes his eyes and praying. Few hours later, they have a sit on the chair under the banyan tree in front of Qingshui Zushi temple to take a break. Suddenly, Joe finds that there is a man walking toward the temple with his hand holding a crutch. “Who is he?! Confucius has frozen the time and everybody should be stopped. How come can he move?! That’s terrible oh my god!”, Joe screamed, but takes out his cellphone for taking a selfie. “I want to record my frightened face first.” “What?! Who is he?! Confucius please protect us!”, Church cried. “Don’ worry guys, I have magic. Let me check it out.”, Confucius said it while he is heading to that men. “Hey! Who are you!” he touches the man’s shoulder. When the man turns around, Confucius feels surprised. “Mencius?!”, he screamed. “What are you doing here!” “God, you scare me!”, Mencius replied. “I thought you were dead”, Confucius said. “Come on! I have a magic called “Longevity”, that make me alive forever.” “I consider the statue is dumb, but you can still talk to me. How cool is that!”, Mencius laughed. “It seems that my magic needs more practices.” “For many years, you are still impolite to your teacher, that’s cool, too!”, Confucius shouted. “Hey! Hey! Guys, don’t quarrel in front of the temple.”, Jasmine said. “Who are you? Ok let’s meet on the top of Yuan Shan”, Mencius said and then disappeared. Confucius goes back to the chair and tells three of them that Mencius is the man, who turned him into the statue. “Let’s go to Yuan Shan tight away, I want to revenge himself on the bully of you!”, Joe said. “How about our sightseeing?”, Church asked. “We haven’t visit Yuan Shan yet, we can take a walk in the mountain first and then climb to the top after enjoying ourselves to the full. Anyway, Mencius doesn’t tell us when we should meet him on the top of the mountain.”, Jasmine said. “Let’s go to our final destination!”.

    “Wow! It’s that Tung blossom? So beautiful!”, Confucius surprised. “Wait for me in a minute, I can make a crown with those Tung blossom.”, Jasmine told him. “Ok I finish, this one is for you!”, she put the Tung crown on Confucius’s head like crown him. “You two are like bride and bridegroom! Ha!Ha!Ha! Just kidding, let’s take a selfie!”, Joe laughed. “The air here is so fresh that make me leave my worries behind me. Oh, I don’t want to leave.”, he said. Besides, they have met many weird insects and animals and four of them are all willing to see the scene. “I like to go hiking twice a week, the atmosphere makes me feel peaceful. However, climbing mountain in the form of statue is extremely uncomfortable now. I hope I can get out of this in one hour.”, Confucius complained. “It seems that you are going to turn into the normal person, look! Your skin is a little bit revealed.”, Joe said. “Let me selfie with you first.” After ten minutes, Confucius changes back to a person. “Finally! Oh my God! Thanks to you guys! I’m so moving about that!”, Confucius said in exciting. “Let’s go downhill, I am happy, too. That’s my first time to visit my hometown for such a long time.”, Church said. “It will be an unforgettable memory. Thank you so much that I will remember this journey forever!”, Joe said. “Let’s take a final selfie, says cheese!” “cheese!” “Ok, I will run the time in five minutes. Please promise me not to tell everyone that we have stolen the breads without paying money and three of you need to try your best to study hard, fighting!”. When Confucius finishes his talking, he disappeared. Five minutes later, time starts to run. “Who stole my breads! Who did that!”, the bakery owner said in anger. “However, I didn’t see any people come inside.”, his wife replied. “Not only your bread be stolen, my pig blood cake, either!”, the other stand owner said. When they are suspecting who stole their foods, the tourists tell them that there is a weird man on the top of Yuan Shan. Shop owners climb up Yuan Shan with many police officers behind. “Who are you? Do any of you see Confucius? I have waited him for a long time”, Mencius asked. “Why are you staying here furtively?”, people asked, but Mencius can’t understand what they are talking about. “Thief! You are thief! Arrest him!”, the captain of those polices said without any hesitation. “What? Thief? Me? Are you kidding me? Wait! Wait! Wait! It’s not me!”, Mencius want to defend that he is innocent, but people don’t believe him. Eventually, he is killed in a crime offense of stealing.
