two juniors

"You child." Xu Shaoqing sighed, but didn't mean to blame, and went to help him up.

Xin Goudan grew up in a deserted village in the city. He was small and lacked strength, and even if he earned from hunting, it was not much.

At this time, he saw that although Xu Shaoqing was sighing, there was a hint of a smile in his voice, he vaguely knew in his heart that he made his senior brother happy in this way, and there was also a vague joy in his heart.When he was distracted, he heard Xu Shaoqing ask him about his homework, and he didn't dare to be vague, so he hurriedly answered them one by one, and Xu Shaoqing nodded again and again, telling him to continue working hard.

Just now Xu Shaoqing stopped by Waifeng to get some rice grains and vegetables and put them back in the kitchen. It was already afternoon, and Xin Goudan had been working diligently from morning to now without any slack, so he asked him to wipe off his sweat and prepare to teach He practiced calligraphy.

Xin Goudan didn't care about those who didn't practice calligraphy. He only knew that his senior brother would stay here with him, so he was very happy. He took it out all at once, making Xu Shaoqing laugh.

Starting with character recognition, Xu Shaoqing randomly asked Xin Goudan a few questions, and found that he actually knew a few characters, but not many.

Xin Goudan didn't care about this. His father was a scholar, and he taught him some things when he was a child. After his parents died, he ended up living in a ruined temple, so he still remembers what he learned.

"When did your parents die?" Xu Shaoqing felt sorry.

Xin Goudan scratched Yuanyuan's bald head and didn't care too much, "My father died when I was six years old. When he died, he became a man. My mother was unconscious beside her. People in the village said she was a monster. We were kicked out of the house by the uncle after sucking up our father. My mother’s belly was getting bigger and bigger. She said she had a baby, but everyone in the village said it was a magic fetus. Later, my mother’s belly was flat and she died. It's gone." Counting with fingers, "Father has been gone for four years."

It seems that the child is ten years old.Xu Shaoqing felt a little guilty. At that time when he was holding the child, he felt his body was light. He was estimated to be only seven or eight years old, but he did not expect to be ten years old. It can be seen that life is not good, and he is also skinny, only with a bigger frame.

It seems that the care for the junior brother is still not enough, Xu Shaoqing sighed slightly in his heart, and felt relieved that he could remember the words he learned when he was six years old. The junior junior brother has such a good memory, which shows that he is very talented.

Thinking this way, I will not waste any more time, open a simple book, and teach slowly.

Although Xin Goudan is a quick learner, he is young and lacks strength, and he is thin. Although the skeleton of the written characters is good, they are limp. teach.Xin Goudan didn't have a big name at first, the family was afraid that the child would not be able to support them, so they just gave him the nickname of Goudan, thinking about picking it up after school, but they didn't expect their parents to die one after another before this day.

After learning the characters, Xu Shaoqing asked him if he wanted to have a name and let him choose. Xin Goudan thought for a while, and wrote a sharp word on the paper, saying that he wanted to become very powerful.

This word has too much murderous intent, Xu Shaoqing didn't want to agree at first, but thought that he liked it, thinking of his younger brother's parents' death and loneliness at a young age, he also agreed with a soft heart.

Xin Li has been on the mountain for more than three months. It was midsummer when he came, and now it's autumn, and the weather is quite cold. Every morning, the three of them worked hard on their own exercises. In the afternoon, Xu Shaoqing came to teach Xin Li. In the evening, he and Zhong Yiran Together, or learn martial arts together, or watch the scenic spots together, laugh at the mountains and rivers, talk and laugh, and the days are fulfilling.

Now that Xin Li has a name, he has learned a lot of characters, he has practiced the basic exercises quite well, and he is gradually familiar with the environment on the peak.

Xu Shaoqing touched his head, short stubble had grown on it, and it was slightly itchy to the touch.Today's Xinli is very different from when he went up the mountain. After eating, clothing and warming up, he has grown a lot in height, and he has the shadow of a ten-year-old child.

Satisfied, Xu Shaoqing rubbed her short hair that feels as good as new grass, and said with a smile, "Little brother, you have been up the mountain for more than three months now." , You have almost learned the basic exercises, and you can just practice more in the future. And the words are also almost learned, so you can read the exercises by yourself, and I don’t need to explain them word by word.”

The words were abrupt, Xin Li stood on the side with his hands close to his thighs, and quietly answered yes, but there were countless thoughts in his heart, thinking about what the senior brother meant.

"There are not many other things on our peak, and there are quite a few houses. Now you should move to your own courtyard." Xu Shaoqing looked at him and said the final decision.

"Ah?" Xin Li raised his head in a daze, thinking that his senior brother would praise him, he was stunned, never expecting this, his mouth moved to say something, but he heard Xu Shaoqing's gentle but firm voice, "Yes If you have your own place, what you do will be cheaper, and you don’t have to worry about it at night.”

He blushed hard when he said this, he was growing his body, and he worked hard. After eating at night, he always practiced the exercises for an hour or two before going to bed. As a result, he was always hungry in the middle of the night. His stomach growled and he wanted to eat something but he was afraid of disturbing Xu Shaoqing, so he always poured herbal tea.

Thinking about it now, it was the eldest brother who noticed this and wanted him to move out.But Xin Li would rather go hungry at night than live with senior brother.

Regarding the matter of Xin Li moving out of Xu Shaoqing's yard, Zhong Yiran was the most active implementer. Just as Xu Shaoqing mentioned this matter to him, Zhong Yiran cleaned up a place for Xin Li under the banner of helping the younger brother. Courtyard - at the end of the row of yards where they live now.

"Little brother, how about I help you clean up?" Zhong Yiran smiled, he didn't like the little brother living with the senior brother, so he heard the senior brother said that he wanted Xin Li to move out, so he couldn't wait to help clean it up, using All the same things as he used, bedding, perfect.

He also knows that it is not good for such a young junior to live in a remote place, but there are only three of them in Chilianfeng, so there is nothing to worry about in terms of safety, not to mention that the junior also lived in a ruined temple before, and now Although the courtyard is partial, it is much better than the ruined temple.

Zhong Yiran deliberately replaced the daily necessities with the best ones, which were much better than the ones distributed by the master, so he felt that he was not sorry for his junior brother.

After Xu Shaoqing finished telling him to move out, Xin Li wanted to plead for mercy and continue to live with the elder brother. He wanted to say that it was okay if he didn't eat at night, but Zhong Yiran barged in and brought him here without any explanation. , Said to show him the place where he will live in the future.

Xing Li, who knew words and expressions since he was a child, finally understood that the elder brother really didn't want him anymore.

Is he really that annoying?Xin Li was bitter in his heart, he was still young and couldn't control his emotions well, the disappointment on his face was naturally brought out, Zhong Yiran took him around to have a look, just didn't notice it.

"Junior Brother, you should have recorded the Dao disc when you started, but you were weak at the time and it was inconvenient. I will take you there now." Xin Li put the things in the cabinet, cleared his mind, and heard Zhong Yiran tell him so to speak.

He nodded, "Second Senior Brother, please." Then Zhong Yiran led him all the way to the outer peak.

Xin Li was still in Xu Shaoqing's arms last time when Teng Yun was in Xu Shaoqing's arms. Now that Zhong Yiran was taking him with him, it was natural not to show weakness any longer. Although he was a little scared, he still gritted his teeth and held on. Fortunately, Zhong Yiran was not fast in order to take care of him, so Xin Li gradually dared to go Take a look down.

Everything in the world shrinks into ants, clouds pass by, and the sky and the earth in the distance seem to merge into one. Is this the feeling of overlooking all living beings?

The world is not benevolent, and treats everything as a straw dog.Xin Li felt that at this moment, he was the sky, and all the beings under his feet were the earth, and they were all trampled to the soles of his feet.

No wonder everyone in the world seeks the way of immortality. This kind of wanton feeling is indeed beyond the reach of mortals.When Xin Li was immersed in the feeling of heaven and earth, Zhong Yiran fell slowly, and the outer peak arrived.

Outer Peak is the collective name of all the peaks outside the sect. Now they are at the Deacon Peak. As the name suggests, they are in charge of matters such as the introduction of disciples. Now the master is a senior named Yi.

Zhong Yiran felt that the name was familiar, and when he saw the real person, he would know that this person was exactly the brother Xu Shaoqing told him about who failed to grant tassels.

However, his failure in granting tassels was not due to lack of strength, but because he did not help his fellow juniors. When he did not grant tassels back then, Zhong Yiran had also heard of this Senior Brother Yi, who was famously talented and brilliant, and fell to this point It's a pity.

Knowing the strength of this Senior Brother Yi, Zhong Yiran was naturally respectful with his hard work. Fortunately, although Senior Brother Yi was as cold as ice, he was unambiguous in what he should do. The jade plaque with the name is just bare and ugly, with a hole in it.

"Junior brother, when you receive the tassels in the future, there will be tassels hanging on it, which can represent the master's going down the mountain, which means that the resources of the master's sect can be used. If you go down the mountain without being awarded the tassels, let alone lack of strength, even if you have Shimen can't provide shelter, do you understand?" Zhong Yiran handed the jade tablet into Xin Li's hand with a serious expression.

It turned out to be like this, Xin Li nodded, thinking of Xu Shaoqing, and asked, "Did the senior brother also grant tassels? Why didn't you go down the mountain?"

Speaking of Xu Shaoqing, a trace of sweetness floated on Zhong Yiran's face, thinking that the senior brother would have given the tassels long ago, and it was only because of me that he did not go down the mountain.But there is no need to tell my junior brother about this kind of thing. Although I really want to show off in my heart, Zhong Yiran still said in a flat tone, "With the strength of senior brother, it is natural that the tassels have been awarded long ago. As for why you didn't go down the mountain, you don't want to I'm just asking nonsense."

Xin Li nodded ignorantly, and went back with Zhong Yiran.With a goal in mind, it is natural to work harder, but when encountering problems in practice, you always have to ask Xu Shaoqing for advice from time to time.

Zhong Yiran was quite dissatisfied with this, not only because he only asked Xu Shaoqing for advice, but also because he didn't ask himself for advice. Could it be that his practice was looked down upon by his younger brother?Regarding this kind of doubt, Xu Shaoqing just lightly explained it, and treated the two of them as before.
