Chapter 428: Life is like tea
"I took a detour on my way to my grandfather's house. Brother Ruthless ran out of breath, he took out a small box from his arms, opened it and showed it to Bai Yang, "I also bought one for you when I bought a gift for my grandfather, and I want to give it to you today." ”
In the box is a small gem, about the size of a thumb, the difference is that the gem flashes with colorful light, Brother Ruthless handed it to Bai Yang: "This kind of gem is only found in deep underground places, even our people are difficult to get, humans may rarely see it, very rare, right?"
"Yes......" Bai Yang squinted at this unusual gem, "I have never received such a gift......"
"Grandpa, if you like it, it would be great! I gave my grandfather a human wooden handicraft, and that's how the gift should be given, right?"
"Yes, yes, you are a very caring child, ruthless brother, you are such a good and filial child, I really like it. Bai Yang said excitedly.
"Then I'll take my leave, and I'll have to get back before my mother notices me turning a corner. Brother Ruthless saluted the old man respectfully, and ran away from the ground.
Bai Yang held the gem all the time, and after a long time, he let out a long sigh, and his eyes showed a sad expression......
Maybe at this moment, Bai Yang and Emperor Zhuan are the same in their hearts, and they all hope that Brother Ruthless will never grow up......
Unconsciously, another five years have passed, and Brother Ruthless comes to the ground every day to learn spells from Bai Yang, which has become a habit.
"Grandpa, please have tea. Brother Ruthless skillfully poured the brewed tea for Bai Yang.
"Good boy, have a drink of your own. ”
"Hehe...... "Brother Ruthless beat haha and fooled through.
He has been allergic to tea since his first "tea" five years ago. He watched Poplar make tea every day and helped him make it, but he never drank it.
After Bai Yang took a sip of tea, he kept praising him: "You have been brewing tea for so many years, and your craftsmanship is really getting better and better, do you really not want to taste it?"
"Hey...... Don't drink ......" Brother Ruthless scratched his head.
Bai Yang no longer forced him: "How did you read the book I recommended to you last time?"
"I read it, but there are still a few things I don't understand, that ......" he put down the teapot and began to ask questions about cultivation.
Bai Yang stroked his beard, nodded as he listened, and began to answer his questions one by one. Time passed little by little, and by the time the old and young put down their books, the sun had already set halfway up the mountain.
"Grandpa, it's getting late, I have to go back. ”
"Kid, have a cup of tea and go. Bai Yang poured him a cup of tea.
"Ah......" Brother Ruthless was stunned, not knowing how to refuse.
Bai Yang still looked at him insistently, and the ruthless brother rarely disobeyed the will of the elders, so he had to take the cup with a bitter face, and was about to pinch his nose and pour it into his mouth: "Okay......"
"You have learned so much human knowledge in the past few years, and you have been cooking tea by yourself, and if you drink it now, you shouldn't feel bitter. ”
"Really......" Brother Ruthless will be skeptical.
"Hehe, you already know human beings very well, and of course you can taste the taste of tea. ”
"I'm not going to be a human yet. Brother Ruthless couldn't help frowning.
Bai Yang smiled but did not answer. Brother Ruthless bravely raised the cup to his mouth, licked it first, and tasted it: "Okay, isn't it just drinking tea, hmm......"
He tried to take a small sip again, and then took another sip, which was bitter, but had a fragrance that was not found in wine...... It seems that you can drink it too......
"Do you understand?" asked the old man stroking his beard and smiling.
"What do you understand?" Brother Ruthless poured himself another glass and was slowly tasting it.
"Life is like tea, and you know yourself bitterly. ”
“…… Grandpa, you want to tell me ......"
"Well, you go back today, think about my words, think about what this cup of tea tastes like......"
"Yes, Grandpa. Brother Ruthless saluted the old man, turned around silently, and walked out of the ravine.
He looked at the verdant mountains and forests outside, the water was like a silver belt, the sunset was like fire, and a small village at the foot of the mountain was wafting with smoke, and there was a faint sound of chickens and dogs barking......
"I understand!" Brother Ruthless shouted, "I've figured it out! Grandpa, I've finally figured it out!"
Bai Yang came out when he heard the sound, and saw that Brother Ruthless was turning around and greeted him excitedly, he held Bai Yang's hands, Bai Yang felt that they were a pair of smooth, hairless hands and sharp claws, as well as his handsome face, his eyes, ears......
"Am I human?" asked Brother Ruthless nervously.
"Yes, if you go into the crowd now, no one will see that you are an anomaly, if you don't have a tail. ”
"Oh, by the way, why didn't I notice, why is the tail still ......?"
"Don't worry, kid, don't worry, take your time......"
"Tail, tail...... Wow, grandpa, why are your ears growing!"
"Hehe, don't worry, don't worry......"
"Wow, even the paws ......"
"Mother, guess who I am!" Liniang, who was making new clothes for Brother Ruthless, immediately covered her eyes.
"Who else will call me my mother but Ao'er!" Liniang smiled and pulled down his hand, but saw the ruthless brother standing in front of her with the appearance of a "human", "Ao'er, you ......"
"Mother, look, I can become a human! hehe!" Brother Ruthless turned around to show his mother, "There is no tail, no ears erected, and no long nails, it's perfect!"
Li Niang looked him up and down, stroked his shoulder and smiled with satisfaction: "My son has grown up." ”
"By the way, Dad, I went to the practice room again...... No, you're drinking with Uncle Ji Yuan, I'm going to show him!" Brother Ruthless crackled and finished a bunch of words, and rolled out of the door like a gust of wind.
Within an hour, the whole clan knew that Brother Ruthless could become a human.
As the favorite son of Emperor Zhuan, Brother Ruthless's coming-of-age banquet is of course much more lively than other children, Li Niang's popularity is excellent, Brother Ruthless has many friends, plus the clansmen who care about Brother Ruthless's growth, the elders...... Hundreds of clansmen crowded the house of Brother Ruthless's family.
"Didn't Kui and Cang Shu come?"
"I've called them, and I can't tie them up if they don't come, right?" Brother Lu has been on guard against them since he heard the conversation between the Kui brothers a few years ago, and although he invited them on the orders of his father, he didn't have much sincerity in his heart.
"Let's go and invite them again. ”
"Don't go!" Brother Ruthless categorically refused, he went over and laughed with a group of friends, he had already made up his mind that he would no longer listen to his father's words in this matter, "Love doesn't come, what kind of shelf, ask others to invite over and over again!"
"Alas. Emperor Zhen sighed, he knew that he should not force his son to accept the two brothers.
After all, with the attitude of the two brothers towards Brother Ruthless, Brother Ruthless was polite enough to them. With the personality of a ruthless brother, he has always maintained politeness in the case of being treated so coldly by others, and it is completely the result of listening to him as a father, alas, there are many children and many troubles......
"I'll call them personally," Emperor Zhuan confessed to Li Niang, "you greet the guests first." ”
"Well," said Liniang gently, "but if they really don't want to come, don't force the children." ”
"I know. Emperor Zhuan bowed his hand to the surrounding guests and hurried out.
"Where is my father going?"
"Isn't the banquet about to begin?"
"Yes, ruthless brother......"
The partners rushed over to ask Brother Ruthless.
He said he was going to call Kui Shu and Cang Shu. No matter how hard Brother Ruthless tried to hide it, he couldn't hide the unhappiness on his face.
"Hmph, why did you call them! They didn't come to my coming-of-age ceremony, and I really regret going to the two of them at the coming-of-age ceremony. The poor cicada was about to jump up with a "bang".
"Poor cicada," the charm tugged at his sleeve and reproached, "after all, they are our imperial brothers, and it is right to invite them here." ”
"But how arrogant they have been in the school recently, they think that if the ruthless brother doesn't come to class, they are the first, and they always look like no one in their eyes, I hate their self-esteem the most, isn't it the queen's son-in-law. ”
"That's right, they always say bad things about the cruel brothers, intentionally or unintentionally!" Bo Wei slammed his fist on the table, he was a strong and terrifying man after turning into a human, and his courage was extraordinary, and he had already planned to beat the two brothers.
"I always make a small report in front of my husband. ”
"And ......"
“……”
The partners began to pour out their dissatisfaction with the two brothers, and Wei Mei originally wanted to say a few good words for them, but was said three times: "Last time, you didn't get a slap from Mr. because they complained about it." The charm immediately stopped squeaking.
"Hmph, anyway, Brother Ruthless has already learned the spell of changing people, so I'll go back to the school tomorrow to see if they dare to be arrogant!"
"Let's go talk to Mr. right away. ”
The partners couldn't wait to hug Brother Ruthless and ran over to Wen Ziming, chirping: "Sir, sir, can Brother Ruthless come back to school?"
Brother Ruthless actually didn't want to go back to the school at all, he wanted to learn from Bai Yang all the time.
"Well, I know you'll learn someday, and as I've said before, with your talent, there's nothing you can't learn with a little effort. Wen Ziming laughed so much that he couldn't even close his mouth. He was not as serious as usual, but kindly patted his brother on the shoulder.
"Hehehe. Wen Ziming, who rarely praises students, actually praised himself in public today, and the ruthless brother couldn't help but feel proud, and the dissatisfaction with Wen Ziming in his heart suddenly disappeared.
"Come back to class tomorrow and let me see if your studies have dropped. ”
"Of course not. Brother ruthless said confidently.
"It's not enough to be smart, you still have to work hard, or how can you glorify your ancestors. Let's have a drink. A group of princes and princesses of the Emperor Zhuan, and their friends all interrupted the conversation between Brother Ruthless and Wen Ziming with shouts.
"Everyone, wait a little longer, the emperor went up to call Kui Shu and Cang Shu and haven't come back yet. Li Niang hurriedly stepped forward to appease everyone.
"Where has the head of the family gone?"
"Why is he missing such a big happy event?"
"Leave Concubine Li alone to deal with such a big occasion......!"
“……”
Complaining, teasing, adding fuel to the fire...... All kinds of good-natured pranks filled the whole room, and Li Niang coped with it, always smiling and generously circling, but the ruthless brother on the side secretly pouted.
When everyone was impatient and the house began to make a commotion, Emperor Zhuan finally came back, following the brothers Shuang and Cangshu, and he really brought them here.
"Finally invited the 'immortals' to come down......" The poor cicada muttered dissatisfiedly.
Wei Mei pushed him: "Come into the table quickly, so as not to let the adults scold." ”
The poor cicada held his breath, and when he passed by the brothers Shuang and Cangshu, he still threw down a sentence angrily: "The person who let the elders wait is even embarrassed to sit in the chief." ”
However, Emperor Zhuan insisted on arranging the two brothers Shuang Yu and Cang Shu in the chief, and actually sat with the patriarch, the priest, Mr. Wen Ziming, and Brother Xu's grandfather.
"Everyone, today is Ao'er's coming-of-age ceremony, thank you for your appreciation, I won't say anything in my humble mouth, I'll give you a glass first!"
"It's done!"
"Congratulations, congratulations!"
"I have to have a drink today!"
"If you don't get drunk, you won't go home!"
