魏犨 / Wei Wuzi

魏犨, also called Wei Wuzi, is the Jin warrior whom 109.闲聊左传之春秋运动会！ nominates for jumping events. The episode places him inside [[JinWenGong|晋文公]]’s attack on Cao and the protection granted to Xi Fuji, who had helped Chong’er during exile.

Wei Chou and Dian Xie resent that protection and burn Xi Fuji’s house. Wei Chou is injured when a damaged pillar hits his chest, but he saves himself politically by performing hundreds of upward and forward jumps in front of the envoy sent to check whether he can still fight. The episode turns that grim military test into a comic track-and-field nomination.
