Daoist, please stay

If you have to make a concluding statement on Taoist Xie’s journey of visiting relatives, Tao Xi would like to recite an article "The Road to Shu is Difficult" to express his mood at the moment.

As a rich man who was born and raised in a big city, Tao Xi felt that Liqiao Town in Pingzhou was already a very small and remote place.

But it was still a town after all!

However, he still stubbornly refused to listen to Xie Qinglan's advice, and took two 28-inch large boxes on the road!

When he just got off the high-speed rail, he was still in the mood to breathe the moist and fresh air in the south, and teased Xie Qinglan that she was raised by this place, no wonder she was so juicy.

Tao Xi at this time has not realized how difficult the road home can be.

Unexpectedly, after driving the taxi for more than two hours, two people were left in a small town.

Tao Xi looked around curiously, thinking that Xie Qinglan's house was a Taoist temple located on the edge of a small city, just like the Duta Temple in Pingzhou.

Then I saw Xie Qinglan raised her hand and stopped the car again.

He explained that the taxis in the city were not familiar with the way and could only send them here.To go home, you must have this kind of private car in a small town.

Only then did Tao Xi realize that he was probably being careless...

The driver in the small town was talkative and enthusiastic, and the one who turned the steering wheel with one hand along the way was called a carefree and unrestrained driver, thinking that he was driving on Qiuming Mountain!Watching Tao Xi burst into cold sweat.

Forcing myself to look at the scenery outside the car window to divert my attention, I found that the scenery is getting more and more beautiful, and the road is getting narrower...

If he hadn't fully known and trusted Xie Qinglan, he would have thought that he would be sold... This is too biased!

There are still some flat land in the countryside, and there are a few fireworks.

This is simply entering the deep mountains and old forests!

It turns out that Daoist Xiao Xie said that his home is on the mountain, but he really did not pretend at all.

The car stopped on a landscape platform on Panshan Highway.

"That's it, we have to go up a few miles before we can turn around."

Even the driver refused to send it, how far is it? !

Next to the windy winding mountain road, Tao Xi looked at the two big suitcases and worried.

Xie Qinglan squeezed his hand, and took out a jacket from the backpack.

"It's cold, put this on."

This time, Young Master Tao didn't dare to confront Daoist Xie anymore, and obediently put on an extra layer on his body.As soon as he zipped it up, he saw a thin figure turning around on the mountain road not far away.

Xie Qinglan saw it too, and raised her hand in greeting.

"Brother! We are here!"

Tao Xi cheered up immediately: here we come, my natal family is here.

Based on the principle of making a good first impression on Daoist Xie's natal family, Tao Xi smiled the most harmless of humans and animals.

Say hello generously.

"Hi brother, I'm Tao Xi."

This senior brother is about the same height as Xie Qinglan, but a little thinner than him. The whole person is almost malnourished and thin, so his temperament is much clearer than that of Xiao Daochang Xie.

"Hello."

The senior brother's expression was indifferent, showing no signs of happiness or anger, and he reached out to pick up their suitcases, but Tao Xi hurriedly declined.

"Brother, let's do it ourselves."

The brother said lightly, "You are a guest, let me come." He forcibly took the luggage over.

With ease, one in each hand, two 28-inch large boxes full of things were picked up.

Tao Xi was secretly speechless.

What a lot of strength.

The senior brother was reticent and walked ahead without saying a word.

Tao Xi felt that it was not very polite, so he started looking for something to say.

"I don't know if the seniors are Qinglan's seniors, how should they be called?"

The senior brother turned his head slightly and said calmly.

"My surname is Tian, ​​you can call me Senior Brother Tian."

Tian...Tao Xi almost tripped her own foot.

If Tian Bugui isn't the second senior brother!

The second brother who likes to send some herbs and agricultural products when he has nothing to do!

Tao Xi and him also added WeChat to each other!

You usually keep in touch with each other, why are you so unfamiliar after meeting each other?

Although the second senior brother also had few and concise words when contacting through WeChat, Tao Xi always thought it was because the second senior brother was old and not used to using WeChat!

Could it be that the masters of their Xuanxiao sect behaved indifferently like this?

Think about Zhao Qiyang, who defected from the teacher's sect... Tao Xi suspects that the reason why the senior brother wants to leave here is because he can't talk to everyone, right?

As if seeing through Tao Xi's thoughts, Xie Qinglan whispered.

"Second senior brother has this personality, and he treats me the same way, not against you, don't be afraid."

Tao Xi hurriedly expressed that he didn't mind, and implicitly said that the second senior brother was a little different from what he thought.

Habitual caregivers eat and drink, love to cook, love to farm, like small animals... The portrait of the second senior brother that is automatically generated in Tao Xi's mind is a smiling, short and fat image.

It's a bit far from the thin, tall and silent look now.

"It's about to go up the mountain, so be careful on the road under your feet."

The second senior brother turned around and asked thoughtfully.

Tao Xi hummed, why aren't we on the mountain now?

But soon he understood what "up the mountain" meant.

Panshan Highway is not called uphill.

A stone path winds up, and there is no end in sight!That's called going up the mountain!

Seeing the second senior brother who was silent in front of him walking like flying with two big boxes, and his breathing was not disturbed at all, Tao Xi didn't dare to breathe too loudly, for fear of losing face all at the same time.

Finally seeing the mountain gate under the shade of green trees, Tao Xi was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, when he took a closer look, there were dozens of narrow stone stairs! ! !

At this moment, Tao Xi, who was sighing at the stairs, suddenly understood Zhao Qiyang's obsession with real estate...

Xie Qinglan's master is pretty much the same as he imagined.

A skinny little old man, not too tall.

The eyes are not sharp but firm, the eyes are soft, and the opening makes people feel very comfortable.

Tao Xi's nervousness all the way dissipated in Master's greetings.

He even felt that there was some fate between himself and this master, how could he hit it off so quickly.

Master and his elders obviously also like Tao Xi very much. Although they have heard Qing Lan talk about their affairs a long time ago, now that they have officially met, their hearts have completely settled down.

These two children are very suitable.

The Taoist temple is not big and there are not many people.

With the addition of Tao Xi and Xie Qinglan, it happened to fill up a large table.

Eight people sat around a natural stone table, chatted and laughed, and the mountain wind blew in, making Tao Xi feel at ease like never before.

Qinglan's seniors have different personalities, some are talkative and laughing, some are shy, some are silent and considerate... so much so that Tao Xi is suspicious, only the senior is picked up, right?

Obviously this is a big harmonious family.

The Xuanxiao sect does not restrict the development of apprentices, and only the second and fifth senior brothers are still in the Taoist temple.Most of the other brothers are married and have children, and they also have other jobs in this world.

Hearing that the younger brother was going to bring his family back to the gate, they gathered at the mountain gate.They all want to see what kind of god is able to handle the naturally rebellious little junior.

Tao Xi was able to do a job with ease in the group of senior brothers, and was very likable.

Master is getting old and can't afford to quarrel with young people.

Looking at the disciples laughing and laughing with a purple clay pot in his hand, he looked satisfied.

Xie Qinglan slipped to Master's side at some point, and gently rubbed his shoulders.

The master smiled and patted his hand.

"Not with Xiaotao?"

"He doesn't need me to accompany him, look, how familiar he is."

Master looked at Tao Xi's back and nodded.

"That's right. It's him."

Xie Qinglan lowered her head.

"What is he?"

Master pretends to be mysterious.

"The secret cannot be leaked."

Xie Qinglan also laughed.

This little old man, the older he gets, the more naughty he gets.

When her fingers touched a scar on the skin, Xie Qinglan's hands froze.

This is the scar Zhao Qiyang left on him when he defected to the division.

The wound is on the side of the neck, near the carotid artery.

That bastard didn't want to give the old man a life.

Sensing the abnormality of the apprentice, the master took his hand and motioned him to sit beside him.

"Some things are in the past, don't be persistent, let go of others, let go of yourself."

Xie Qinglan said in a low voice, obviously not wanting to let go.

"Why didn't you say that when he hurt you?"

Master laughed.

"You, after going down the mountain for a few days, I completely forgot what Master said."

The old man turned on the broken thoughts mode.

"Some people don't understand what they teach, and some people are too stupid. The truth is for people who are reasonable, and it is useless for fools to break the sky. Don't nod to a stubborn stone. Humans are the spirit of all things. Don't care about stubborn stones."

Xie Qinglan began to regret mentioning this, and said a few words to the old man indiscriminately, and greeted Tao Xi loudly.

"Tao Xi, go back to sleep."

Tao Xi turned around and replied crisply, got up and said goodbye to the seniors.

Amidst the laughter and booing of several "comers", the two saluted the master in a polite manner, and accompanied by the fourth senior brother who loved to joke most, shouted "send to the bridal chamber~~", the two walked towards the bedroom in the backyard hand in hand.

The brothers laughed together and watched the young couple walk away talking and laughing.

Even the second senior brother, who was the most unsmiling, had a faint smile on his face.

He also sat down next to the master with a small teapot.

"not worried?"
