summer thunderstorm

With a sound of "squeak", the wooden door was gently pushed open, and a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy came out. He was dressed in plain white clothes against the handsome boy. The morning sun shone down. Maybe he was on this mountain. , Such sunlight shining on the smiling face of the young man is extraordinarily gentle.

Seemingly in a good mood, the young man practiced the sword in his hand as usual, just as gentle as he was, and only those who fought against him knew how sharp the sword was under this gentle attack.

Compared with wielding knives and guns, the boy is obviously more interested in bottles and cans after sword practice.He held a book in one hand, and poured an unknown medicine powder into the medicine bowl with the other hand, tinkering and tinkering, and a pigeon came flying out of nowhere.

"Coo coo coo" a soft cry attracted the young man who was busy fiddling with the powder, and skillfully took off the note on the pigeon's leg, and a line of tiny words was spread out: My son, take care of Lei'er for my father, martial arts knowledge None should be neglected.

"Lei'er? Who is Lei'er?" The young man muttered and put the note away, went back to the room and got a piece of paper, on which he wrote: Xiao Yu, remember, everything is fine.Call the pigeon to deliver the message.

It turns out that this young man is Xiao Yu in Xia Danfang's mouth - the youngest son Xia Qiuyu, who was sent to this unnamed mountain to learn art with his master Bai Shao because of his poor health since he was a child, and it has been more than ten years now.

It's been a few days since the note came, Xia Qiuyu still doesn't know who the "Lei'er" his father is talking about, but he doesn't care because he has always been indifferent.

No, today, he unexpectedly saw a Shadow Guard Falcon who had been following his father, holding a seven or eight-year-old child in his arms, but he couldn't see what the child looked like.

"Are you Uncle Falcon? Come in."

"Yes, Falcon has seen the young master." Falcon couldn't salute the child in his arms, Xia Qiuyu quickly helped him up, let him into the house, and helped Falcon put the child in the only guest room on the mountain.

"Young master, my lord has ordered you to hand over the young master to you. If possible, please let him also accept Mr. Bai Shao's teaching."

"what is his name?"

"Luo Jinglei."

"The surname is Luo! I understand, you go back and reply to father, so that he can rest assured."

"Yes, young master, Falcon will take his leave now."

"kindness."

Falcon only stayed for a while, if it wasn't for a child sleeping in the empty guest room, Xia Qiuyu would have thought it was just his hallucination.Back in the room again, Xia Qiuyu took a good look at the child.

The immature little face was tired, and there was a dusty smell.He was obviously still a child, but he frowned restlessly when he fell asleep, but his sleeping position was very quiet.

There is probably only one child whose surname is Luo, and whose father cares about him so much. If it is really him, then the "Lei'er" in the father's mouth is still his nephew.The shirt he took off for the child just now was still stained with blood, and he didn't know what happened in the palace, but his father was so anxious to send Lei'er here, alas...

Thinking about what to do, Xia Qiuyu covered the quilt for the child, and then went out to get food. If there is an extra child, he will get more food that the child can eat. Unlike when he is alone, he always does whatever he wants. very.

where is this?

When Luo Jinglei woke up, it was already night. Under him was a soft sleeper that he hadn't touched for a few days. On his body was a warm quilt with a breath of sunshine. The strange environment and strange people...

The man was leaning on the couch beside him, still holding a book in his hand, but he had fallen asleep with his head tilted.

Who is that?

This feeling made the tiredness of running around for days much less. Just as he wanted to get up, the person on the couch woke up and hurriedly got up and walked to the bed.

"Awake, are you hungry?" He asked.

"who are you?"

"Oh, I'm your uncle."

Xia Qiuyu felt that his little nephew was not only beautiful, but also very well-behaved, so he was willing to stay on the bed and let him feed him.Thinking of the child who just woke up not long ago, when Xia Qiuyu asked who he was in a daze, Xia Qiuyu didn't know where the idea came from. She just wanted to treat this lovely nephew well, and she didn't know that the nephew would be satisfied with his craftsmanship. After all, he didn't practice cooking well in the past few years on the mountain.

Seeing that most of the bowl of hot vegetable porridge was almost done, he put down the bowl, took a silk handkerchief and wiped it for him to let him have a good rest. If there is something to talk about tomorrow.

In fact, Luo Jinglei is no longer sleepy after sleeping for so long, but all unfamiliar environments will subconsciously make him endure and wait for observation, even if it appears as his uncle, so when Xia Qiuyu told him to rest She closed her eyes obediently.

The next day, when Luo Jinglei got up and finished his breakfast, Xia Qiuyu was already tinkering with his medicine powder. He didn't care when he saw him standing aside watching him tinkering. A small bench, beckoning Luo Jinglei to come and sit.

"Lei'er, I said it was your uncle yesterday. My name is Xia Qiuyu, and your mother and concubine Xia Qiuhan is my elder sister. When my father sent you over, can I teach you what to say and write?" Xia Qiuyu rested her chin in one hand , looking at the serious child sitting in front of him.

Luo Jinglei thought about it, he hadn't seen his grandfather that day, it should be Falcon who contacted him, but he didn't expect to send him to this uncle who had never met.

"Never."

Xia Qiuyu felt that Luo Jinglei's voice was quiet, with a childlike voice, but his enunciation was very clear.

"Father sent me a message a few days ago, telling me to take good care of you. If you can endure the hardships on the mountain, you will stay here. If you get bored someday, I will teach someone to send you down the mountain."

"En." Painful?No matter how miserable the life is, it is better than fighting openly and secretly in the palace. How could he, Luo Jinglei, be impatient? Isn't this the clean life he wanted since he was a child!

"Father hopes that you will worship my master Bai Shao as your husband. I sent him a letter yesterday, and the master should be back in a few days."

Luo Jinglei nodded, this time he didn't even give a reply.

Only then did Xia Qiuyu feel that his nephew seemed to be a boring gourd, so he could only continue helplessly: "Forget it, stay here first, stay in the room you slept in yesterday, and I'll add some clothes for you after noon." for use."

The life on the mountain is hard, but after all, he is the third son of the Xia family, Shangshu of the Beichen Kingdom, and he has never withheld any money. Xia Danfang entrusts some silver taels from time to time, and Bai Shao will also leave some silver taels for Xia Qiuyu before traveling. However, he is not a master of spending, and he rarely goes down the mountain except to buy some food when necessary.

I don't know if it's because Luo Jinglei's arrival made Xia Qiuyu feel that her money has a place to use, so she spent it to buy clothes for her nephew without any distress.There is a small village at the foot of the mountain, so naturally I can't buy good fabrics similar to those in the imperial capital, so I had to buy pure cotton ones first, and then asked someone to go to the town to buy some good ones, and other small things must be bought from the town .

Luo Jinglei was born in the imperial palace, and the good fabrics in the small village were only made of cotton, so naturally he couldn't catch his eyes, but he saw that Xia Qiuyu made a special trip to ask people to buy some fabrics, so he felt that it was unnecessary. Xia Qiuyu regarded him as a delicate person, not to mention that the fabric of Xia Qiuyu's clothes was not very good.

But what Luo Jinglei didn't know was that in Xia Qiuyu's heart, Luo Jinglei was still a child and was born in the imperial palace. Naturally, his food and clothing were not bad. In the future, he might not be able to do so many tricks in terms of food when he was on the mountain. , in terms of clothing, he can't be as casual as he is here, let alone he is not short of the money.

The mountain is not high but the road is not easy to walk. Xia Qiuyu hugged the awkward Luo Jinglei and performed light kung fu all the way back. When the two returned to the mountain, it was getting late.As soon as Xia Qiuyu packed up the things she bought, the pigeon flew to Xia Qiuyu's hands familiarly.

After reading the note, Xia Qiuyu was a little confused.

It turned out that Master Bai Shao had sent the message, and he couldn't get away recently, and he didn't have much interest in accepting disciples. Luo Jinglei is a generation younger than Xia Qiuyu, so it's better to let Luo Jinglei worship Xia Qiuyu as his teacher.

Xia Qiuyu was actually lazy in his bones, and he didn't want to do this kind of thing, but he thought that if the master didn't return for a long time, only he could teach, and he was his nephew, so it wouldn't be an exaggeration to be his master.

In the evening, Xia Qiuyu asked Luo Jinglei again what he meant, and Luo Jinglei agreed without hesitation, knelt down and kowtowed to be a teacher.
