One day, the teacher asked everyone to recite "The Beginning of Man" together. Li Wengu made it up randomly and went against the teaching: "In the beginning of man, his nature is good; when a dog fights against his family, he will fight..." When the teacher heard this, he thought it was wrong. It was like Li Wengu's voice. So he asked everyone to stop reading and asked Li Wengu to recite it.

The gentleman had nothing to say, but then he asked Li Wengu to lecture him and said, "Li Wengu, although you are smart. , but love to make trouble, I ask you to forget one, two, and three!"

Wen Gu said: "I know, the sky is as high as two Yahu (buttocks)!" the gentleman scolded "That's unreasonable!"
