one of my alchemist friends

As far as filial piety is concerned, he left me before returning to accompany me, or even saying goodbye.I regret it, I only hate myself. "

After finishing what he had been holding back for a long time, Ning Zeping relaxed from the heart that had been gripping him all day, and suddenly felt sleepy. "It's hard for you to listen to my rambling."

After listening to him quietly, Bairan said, "Although I can't really feel your pain, I can somewhat understand this feeling."

The water in Ning Zeping's eyes flickered, he took a deep breath, and didn't say anything or ask anything.The two were silent in the boundless night, each missing the person who accompanied and cared for them all the way.After a long while, Bairan spoke again: "My uncle and elder brother will take over the affairs of the house. Cheng Kong and I will leave for Uncle Huaiyang tomorrow. No matter what, we will find out the real culprit and give an explanation to my uncle and the old man." .”

"Are you in such a hurry?" After blurting out the words, Ning Zeping slapped his forehead again, "That's right. At that time, you said that you had something important to do, and I stalked you two to stay. Then...there will be a date later?" Thinking When he first met, he reluctantly "shake hands and make peace", he stretched out his hand jokingly, never thinking that Bairan would hold out his hand without much hesitation.

"There will be a period later."

When returning to the room, he passed by Bai Yan's house, the light was still on, he hesitated for a while, and the hand knocking on the door was stuck in the air.Before he could make a decision, his uncle spoke first: "What are you doing standing up, come in."

Bairan knocked on the door according to the etiquette, said "the child is coming in", before entering.Bai Yan sat in front of the desk, rolled out a roll of white paper, and was adding something to it. When he saw him coming in, he put down his pen, smiled and said softly, "Hurry up tomorrow morning, still not resting?" Bai Ran didn't reply, just stared at him, There was something wrong with his expression. "Aren't you happy? Come here." Bai Yan waved to him, and the two sat down next to each other, looked him up and down, and said with a smile, "A Ran has grown up. You only came to me a few years ago." He pointed shoulders, "When I was a child, I was always afraid that you would not be able to support me, but now I am tall and strong, I am very relieved." I still patted his head.

Bairan twisted the silver beads around his waist, turned sideways and hugged his uncle's shoulders, and leaned his head on his shoulders.Bai Yan was slightly startled, a smile came to the corner of his eyes, he patted his arm lightly and said, "You are homesick? You are so grown up and always act like a child. The elders call you stable and responsible, but who knows that you are clingy and afraid of being alone?" , and occasionally act like a spoiled child."

His mind was full of what Ning Zeping said, "Life is too comfortable, and I always forget some important things." What else did his uncle say, but he didn't listen to a word.

Before leaving, Bai Yan rolled up the white paper on the case and handed it to him, saying: "Some sorting, you can take it to Chengkong to have a look."

"En." Bairan saluted and left, and went to Gao and Mo's room.Before they approached, they heard arguing, and the door of the room was opened wide, lest others would not know what happened.He closed the door behind him casually, and the people inside the room saw him, silenced their voices, but they refused to give in to each other.

The copper basin was overturned, and the water flowed all over the ground.Gao Jian rolled up his sleeves high, crossed his arms around his chest, turned his head and pouted.Mo Chengkong sat on the edge of the bed, his trousers were rolled up to his knees, he pushed his hands to his sides, tilted his head and looked at Gao Jian with a provocative expression. "What is it for again this time?" Bai Ran rubbed the center of her brows, picked up the copper basin and set it up, picked up the sackcloth on the rack and squatted down to wipe the floor.

"Master, let me come.", "Bairan, get up." The two spoke at the same time, looked at each other at the same time, and each turned their heads away with a "hum".

Gao Jiandao: "He is a bully. Seeing his hand hurt, I kindly fetched water to wash his feet. Not only did he not appreciate it, he even splashed water all over me."

Mo Chengkong's voice suppressed him for a while: "Is it reasonable? If I didn't hide in such hot water, my feet would be cooked."

Anger is on the verge of burning.Bairan looked at the two of them helplessly, and the sadness of the single old father with two children flashed across his heart.He bent down and patted Gao Jian, and said: "Remember from now on, don't do bad things with good intentions. Go get a basin of water again." Even though he was not happy, Gao Jian still let out a "hmm" and went out angrily under Mo Chengkong's proud gaze.Bai Ran put away his gentle face, and said coldly: "You too, he did something wrong, just talk about it, why are you arguing." Throwing the sackcloth to Mo Chengkong, "Wipe the floor."

"Hey."

Gao Jian came in with water, poured it into the copper basin, and was about to sit on the small bench when he was suddenly lifted up by Bairan with both hands. "I'll do it." He took out the paper scroll from his arms and signaled Gao Jian to pass it on for him, rolled up his sleeves, tested the water temperature, and said, "It's done." Pressing Mo Chengkong's foot forcefully, he stroked the water gently.Mo Chengkong unfolded the scroll, and the interior scene of an ancestral hall was painted on the paper.In the southeast corner of the main hall, there is a person with red dots on his face and torso, and there is another person at the altar table with red dots on his face.

"These are the positions of the corpses and the distribution of injuries in the two incidents." Seeing that Gao Jian stretched his head to the side and seemed very interested, Mo Chengkong generously handed him the scroll and explained each place.Gao Jian was fascinated by what he heard, and couldn't help but move closer to him, and the scene was so harmonious that it seemed that it was someone else who was arguing just now.

Bairan had no choice but to remind: "Gao Jian, Cheng Kong and I are leaving for Huaiyang tomorrow, do you want to take you back?"

"No, I want to follow you." Gao Jian took Mo Chengkong's arm.

"That's right, there's no reason to send an apprentice home just after accepting an apprentice." Mo Chengkong took advantage of the situation.

The two brothers were of one heart and the same external momentum gave Bairan the illusion that he was the villain who broke up the two.

for the father

In the morning, they bid farewell to everyone, and since the three of them left the Ning Mansion, their eyes followed them from time to time.At this time, the morning light was thin and the clouds were so dense that the sun could not shine through.The air was dull and the passers-by were in a hurry, but there were still many people who stopped and stared at the three of them.Even if it mixes with the crowds going to the market, it is very eye-catching.Bai Ran led Liu Feng back to Xue, and at the city gate, the two of them got on their horses, he stretched out his hand to Gao Jian: "Come on, Hui Xue is more stable." Not to be outdone, Liu Feng raised his hooves and groaned, almost overturning Mo Chengkong.

Mo Chengkong tightened the reins, still in shock: "I can refute a few other things, but I have nothing to say about this."

Gao Jian handed his hand to Bairan without much thought, when a familiar voice came from behind him, telling him to freeze there, not daring to move for a long time. "Goodbye, you were here."

Bai and Mo followed the prestige and saw a group of men and horses in luxurious clothes, all carrying long sticks, approaching the three of them.The leading man took a few steps and landed in front of the three of them.Immediately after, Bairan got off his horse and saluted, "Junior Bairan pays homage to Sovereign Gao."

"Your father?" Mo Cheng asked in a very low voice.Gao Jian remained silent, clutching the hem of his clothes tightly, his legs trembling unceasingly.

"En." Gao Yisheng replied lightly, his eyes fixed on Gao Jian. "Why, if you have the guts to run away from home, you won't even recognize your father?"

Gao Jian turned around slowly, "plopped" and knelt down, calling out in a low voice, "Father... why are you here?"

"You still have the guts to ask?" Gao Yisheng turned his hand away and took off the long stick, flipped it over in the palm of his hand, shining golden light, and pressed it on Gao Jian's left shoulder, his body tilted immediately. "Go back first, this account will be settled with you later."

It is extremely difficult for outsiders to intervene when the father disciplines the children.Mo Chengkong climbed off his horse, and he and Bairan were speechless.

"I... won't go back." Gao Jian lowered his head and struggled to utter a few words.

"What did you say?" Gao Yisheng was a little surprised.The second time his son disobeyed his will, he had a headache, and his attack became a little bit harder.

"Hiss..." Gao Jian took a breath, supported the long stick with one hand, and barely stood up. "Since I worship Mr. Bai as my teacher, I won't go back if I don't learn something."

"Heh...heh... just a joke, you can say goodbye as you say, and there are countless good teachers in my Gao family, who can't compare to him as an outsider?" He quickly pulled back his long stick, Gao Jian let go of his hand and leaned forward, almost falling to the ground.Bai Ran grabbed his arm, pulled him towards him, and said, "Young master is still young, so he is really not suitable for the outside world. The junior is immoral and incompetent and worthy of being a teacher. If the suzerain is not willing, just take him back. If you want to fight Scolding, forgive me for being rude, since he calls me master, I can't just stand by and watch." He pressed Suishuang with one hand, ready to send it at any time.

"Bairan, I think you are the best of the younger generation and I respect your Bai family, so I won't do anything with you. If you insist on meddling in my family affairs, don't blame me for bullying the younger." Gao Yisheng shook the ground with his stick, startled The whole body is one piece.There was a dark sky above his head, behind him were passers-by who heard the sound, in front of him was his father with a livid face and a furious expression, and beside him was a master with a frosty face and a cold tone.Gao Jian weighed it again and again, and moved towards his father step by step.Mo Chengkong seemed to be delusional, otherwise how could he see the fleeting joy in Gao Yisheng's eyes?

"Father, I am determined to go with them, and I will never go back." He knelt down and kowtowed, "It was my fault for running away, but I am tired of living under your arrangements, and behave carefully Do things. This is the first time I make decisions for myself, and I hope you will do well." Kowtow again.

"Believe it or not, I'll beat you to death in the street." Gao Yisheng's hand holding the stick was trembling, and he forced out word after word from between his teeth. As the long stick fell, he felt his eyes darken, and he simply closed his eyes. "Nizi, are you worthy of your dead mother?! She gave birth to you with all her might, but you are so rebellious. If I had known earlier, I would have strangled you to death!"

Bairan was about to use his sword to stop him, but when he heard this, he felt a stabbing pain in his heart and froze there.Mo Chengkong stepped forward quickly, squeezed his hand tightly as if inadvertently, let go and continued to move forward.

When the long stick fell again, it was suddenly blocked. Gao Yisheng opened his eyes and saw a handsome young man blocking him with all his strength with just a folding fan. When he was angry, he secretly felt a little lucky.The young man shook his fan slightly, and said with a smile, "Sect Master Gao, please calm down. If you use the whole set of stick techniques, this child will really be beaten to death."

He lifted Gao Jian's limp body and made him stand close to him.He also said: "Gao Jian is a good boy, let him go out and venture, he can learn more than living in seclusion and studying hard."
