one of a kind

Chapter 5: Birthday

The days passed slowly like this, and in a blink of an eye I was sixteen years old.

On the day of my birthday, before I woke up, I felt a hand rubbing my ear, calling softly: Master, master.

I felt disturbed, closed my eyes and raised my hands to open the pinnae, then raised my arms and pressed the man to my chest, so as not to let him disturb my waking dream.After a while, I heard muffled laughter coming from me.

I had no choice but to open my eyes, and as expected, the man was half lying on my body and looking at me with a smile.Maybe it's because we were together when I was a child, he doesn't treat me as respectfully and respectfully as a common servant treats his master, he treats me more like he wants to spoil me, so when he is with me , I often do things that are a bit daring in the eyes of others. Of course, I don't hate it, and I even condone it to some extent.I patted his hand in fear, and he restrained himself immediately, and then waited for me to get up.

I don’t know since when, my daily life has been served by him. I also said that there is no need for this, he doesn’t need to do these things, but he said that those people served me too frizzy and not careful enough. I didn't know which tea or snacks I wanted, and I was a little speechless after hearing this, because I really didn't pay attention to these myself.

But I think what he said is also true, other people can spend one point of their thoughts on me, but he can't spend twenty points of his thoughts on me, and he is still afraid of not being able to.

I closed my eyes slightly, and pulled him who was kneeling at my feet to help me tidy up the hem of my clothes, and walked towards the dining table. While he was being pulled by me, he asked the servants to bring over the mouthwash, and then handed it to me.

I laughed out loud when I saw him, he took the things and asked: Master, what's the matter.

I sat down, leaned my elbows on the table and supported my chin, and said with a smile: Are you a housekeeper or a shadow guard now?

He was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and smiled and said simply: I will do whatever the master needs.

He knelt down on my knees and looked at me seriously.My heart was soft and soft, I stroked his hair, and seemed to murmur: He is obviously older than me, how can he be so careless.

He held my hand in his hand and stared at me, saying: I am smart to others, but to my master, I don't have to be smart.His eyes were clean and pure, and there was some joy in his eyes.Yes, he also knows me.

In fact, I don't take my birthday very seriously. In previous years, I would forget it, and my normal life would pass by. But this year, maybe he is here, and I always feel that today is a little different.

I asked him to sit down and have something to eat with me, but he went out with a smile on his face, and then came in with a bowl of noodles and put them in front of me. He said he had learned how to make them for a long time, and he wanted to eat a bowl of longevity noodles for his birthday. Only then is it complete.I chuckled: I didn't have it in previous years, and I didn't live to this time.He doesn't answer.

I looked at him sideways, and laughed at myself: Don't worry, my kind of disaster will last for a thousand years.

He seemed displeased that I belittled myself and didn't know how to persuade me, so he cheered up and said: Master, when I was young, my subordinates heard people say that a person's life's suffering and happiness are predetermined.If a person enjoys happiness in the first half of his life, he must suffer in the second half of his life; if a person suffers in the first half of his life, then he must be blessed in the second half of his life.Take two bites quickly, master, this is a blessing.

I thought it was funny, but I still listened to him and ate two mouthfuls of noodles, chatting for comfort.I know he wants to make up for me, it's ridiculous, but that's it, he wants to make up for me, he wants to make up for what I have forgotten and lacked in these years, but the past is the past, so how can it be filled in later.

I pursed my lips, pushed the noodle I had eaten a few mouthfuls to him, and said: Eat, I don't know your birthday, but I think you have never eaten it.

He didn't look at me again, I knew he must have red eyes again, I teased and said: Are you made of water like those delicate girls?

He raised his head and his eyes were red as expected, and then he laughed.He is like this, if I treat him better, he is about to cry. I beat him before and told him to roll, but he didn't have a single tear.

I raised my head and nodded my chin, asked him to sit down, watched him eat some noodles, and then joked again: No wonder he is out of the ten shadow guards, so crying, how can he perform the task.

As a result, before I finished speaking, he explained: The subordinate did it on purpose.I raised my eyebrows, he stared at the bottom of the bowl and didn't dare to look at me: The subordinates were always in the top two of the shadow guards, and then I heard chatting with other shadow guards and knew that the master might not choose the top two shadow guards, I deliberately withdrew my strength in the competition, and Fang fell outside the top 10.

Listening to his explanation, I squinted my eyes and smiled. It's just that I don't know how to pick the top two shadow guards. It's just that I have no chance and qualification to pick the top two. He is really smart.I continued to ask how did you talk about me, he seemed a little hesitant, didn't know what to say, I saw that his face was getting colder, and I knew it must be a criticism, just when I wanted to spare him, I saw him staring at me fiercely said: I beat them several times when their mouths were not clean.I laughed out loud, fool.

The weather in summer always makes people lazy. I am used to lying on the rocking chair in the gazebo to read a book or watch him practice sword after eating.Sometimes I feel that his mind is not on sword practice, because whenever I inadvertently look at him, he can always find out immediately, and he will work very hard.I watched him show me another beautiful sword flower, and curled the corners of my mouth in a funny way.The cicadas were chirping and the birds were singing, and the rocking chair was shaking slowly. I wanted to sleep. I covered my face with the book. I felt like I had just squinted for a while, and then I was called out by him. I thought it was the same as usual, and he was afraid that I would rest too much. , I went to sleep again at night, so I waved at him, wanting to sleep more, but he whispered in my ear, saying that the pavilion master sent someone to invite me, and I opened my eyes at once.

I know who my father is, so I never make unnecessary guesses, such as whether they remembered my birthday.But even so, when I wobbled and approached the main dining room, I was still stunned for a moment.It has been a long time since I have seen such a gathering of people, even my grandparents, whom I have not seen for a long time, are present.

I raised my eyes and gave them a look, and Wen Yu immediately left incognito.But here I have not stepped into the house with one foot, and I can already see the happy family in the room, talking and laughing, which makes me more redundant and troublesome.These days may be due to the presence of Wen Yu, the feeling of being cherished and cherished at all times made me almost forget this scene, so that I couldn't mobilize the expressions on my face to support this sudden event family dinner.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Wen Yi'an beckoning me to sit down, I squinted my eyes and got off the bar.My elbows were on the table and I was resting my chin. I was a little bored. In fact, I knew the reason for this banquet as soon as I sat down. It must be because of the teacher who taught the three of us since we were young, but I haven’t seen it for a long time.In fact, it is not entirely appropriate to say that it is a teacher, because he was originally a so-called life-and-death friend that my Pavilion Master's father met when he was young.Later, my father came back to inherit Moshang Pavilion while he was wandering around all the time, and then he was coerced by his father to teach the three of us.

It's not because I don't remember my teacher's kindness, it's because he doesn't like me too much.He also has an apprentice, named Zhang Changyou, when he taught the three of us, his apprentice was about the same age as me, and he was with me, and we often stayed together.One day Zhang Changyou secretly told me that his master would not allow him to be so close to me again.

I was young and ignorant, and naturally I was full of admiration for scholars, so I anxiously asked why, did I do something wrong?In the end, he said that because his master said that my temper was different from Qing Yi and Yi An's, I was more than intelligent, but my thoughts were too heavy, and I was afraid that I would not be a good person in the future.

I remember this until now, although now I have to admit that what he said is right, but I still don’t like him, how much does a child know about right and wrong?My brother who is a father and our teacher not only did not try to teach, but directly concluded the coffin. This is the attributive sentence for my life and put me on the pillar of shame. How absurd you say.

When I was about to feel bored and ready to leave, I heard my Pavilion Master’s father say that the three-yearly martial arts youth meeting is about to be held, and he planned to let the teacher bring Wen Yi’an and Wen Qingyi to the meeting, so as not to let Jiang Hu People feel that there is no one to guard Moshang Pavilion.

I rubbed my fingers, and asked directly without thinking: Father, can my son go with me.

He frowned and reprimanded: Nonsense, Qingying will need to be 16 years old, how old are you.No matter how irritable I am at this moment, I am afraid that I will hang up my smile and say "Go back to father, my son is 16 today"

He froze for a moment, and the atmosphere on the table became quiet all of a sudden. I didn't care about the undercurrents on the table, just looked at him, waiting for his answer.

Wen Yi'an pulled his cuffs, but I ignored him, he coughed twice, I glanced at him, and he motioned for me to sit down, I thought it would be fine to give me a step, but my grandparents did it instead. He raised his eyes and answered: Let's go together when we are full, and see the world.

I smiled and sat down straight away, and then listened to Wen Yi'an's answer: Today is the third brother's birthday, so that would be even better...I didn't listen to what he said later, I just leaned lazily on the table Go to bed, think about trifles, until the end.

It's all sweet and sweet in the back, but the relatives abused the heart, abused the heart of one of us.
