Brother Yan asked Zhang Jinyan: "Understood?"

Zhang Jinyan said: "I didn't understand. ”

Brother Yan said patiently: "Why don't you understand? It's that she lacks a father in her life, one father is not enough, and it takes two fathers to suppress her life......

Zhang Jinyan interrupted him and pointed out the key: "No matter how short of a father, it has to be a man, how can you call a woman's father?"

Brother Yan froze for a moment, and looked at this little cousin carefully: a tanned little face, two thick eyebrows on his face, and a pair of ignorant eyes embedded under his eyebrows, still looking stupid, why did he speak so sharply?

Brother Yan is not a vegetarian either, and as soon as his mind turned, he asked: "There are many men in the world, how many can surpass my mother?"

Zhang Jinyan blinked twice, thinking: The eldest aunt is the prime minister above 10,000 people under one person, and ordinary people can't compare. Well, my father has a high title......

Before he could finish thinking about it, Brother Yan waved his hand and said, "Don't think about it." There are only a few people in the hundred officials whose titles are higher than my mother, and the eldest sister always runs to recognize others as godfathers with a dead face, and my mother is my own family, which is convenient. ”

Zhang Jinyan said: "Aren't all fathers men?"

Perseverance went back to square one!

Brother Yan said: "So what? Mother is stronger than a man. ”

After speaking, without waiting for Zhang Jinyan to ask again, he ended the topic domineeringly, and instead asked him about his life in northern Xinjiang, what he learned, and so on.

I heard that Zhang Jinyan began to practice martial arts at the age of four or five, and could ride horses, ski, etc., Brother Yan'er's eyes lit up, and he wanted to make two moves with Zhang Jinyan.

Zhang Jinyan was also interested, didn't speak, got up and tightened his belt, lifted the hem of his robe and tucked it around his waist, and then looked at Brother Yan.

Brother Yan looked left and right, the eaves of this corridor were near the water, and the back was a wall, but it was only three or four feet wide, so he said: "I can't open it here, go to the yard." ”

Zhang Jinyan nodded, and the two went to the courtyard.

Under the courtyard wall, an old servant was trimming flowers and plants, and smiled when he saw them.

Brother Yan didn't pay attention to it. As long as he is at home, whether it is an inner house or an outer house, whether it is early in the morning or evening, he can often meet this old man taking care of the flowers and trees nearby. As the days went on, he tasted it: it must have been someone his parents had sent to protect him. He pretended not to know, and continued to go his own way.

Brother Yan stood very casually, and smiled at Zhang Jinyan: "My cousin is one year old, and my cousin has just returned to the capital, and he is a guest, so please make a move first." ”

Zhang Jinyan pursed his lips and smiled, and he was not polite, and he really made a move.

……

The big scissors in the old servant's hand didn't move.

With just one move, Brother Yan fell to the sky, and looked at Zhang Jinyan with incredible eyes - is this kid only seven years old?

Zhang Jinyan looked at Brother Yan a little bewildered, and wondered in his heart: Why is he so unbeaten? Not ready? Seeing that he was holding the ground with one hand, and he didn't struggle after a few strokes with the other hand, he hurriedly stepped forward to help.

Zhang Jinyan asked, "Cousin is not ready?"

He thought that Brother Gul was clumsy.

Brother Gully's face blushed. Rengui is self-aware, he is already extremely smart, although Zhang Jinyan only slapped him, it was enough for him to understand the gap between himself and this little cousin, it was useless to start over, and it was even more embarrassing!

He quietly calmed down, and then praised Zhang Jinyan with a fist: "My cousin is worthy of being a general, not for my brother's three-legged cat's work." Bow down for your brother. In the future, I will have to take care of my cousin. ”

Zhang Jinyan saw that he was not angry and jealous, and had a good impression of him, and he also went to the rustiness and restraint that he had just come, and also smiled: "It's my cousin who is too humble." ”

Brother Yan said: "It's not Qian, it's really incomparable." It's hot, let's go swim in the river. Does my cousin swim?"

He thought that Zhang Jinyan grew up in the Northwest Frontier, and he must be able to learn martial arts, horseback riding, hunting, and skiing, but he may not be able to swim in the water; he often swims in the summer, and sometimes swims in the Weishui River outside the city, which will definitely surpass him.

Zhang Jinyan said: "Yes." ”

So, the two of them went back to the porch, took off their outer clothes, and only wore the inner clothes, and their arms and legs were exposed. I saw that Zhang Jinyan's whole body was black and not slippery, and he was as strong as a black loach, and his hands and legs were as white as knotty lotus.

The two agreed: Whoever goes down the river from here, and whoever reaches the lake in the east first wins, and they will send something to each other.

After that, both of them plunged headlong into the river.

Brother Yan thought that he couldn't lose again this time, so he spread his hands and feet and slipped forward under the water with his best posture. was paddling with all his might, and in a trance, the black shadow around him flashed by, and when he was busy looking, there was nothing. I wondered: What is it? Can't there be such a big fish in this river?

Brother Gul played his best, slipped from the river to the lake, rushed out of the water, touched the water on his face, looked forward, and saw that Zhang Jinyan had swam to the middle of the lake, floating on the water, surrounded by umbrellas like lotus leaves and a few pink lotus flowers clustered around his little black face, with a bright smile, Brother Gul was stunned.

Under the willow trees on the shore of the lake, the old servant sighed.

Brother Yan swam to Zhang Jinyan's side and asked suspiciously, "Do you travel often?"

Zhang Jinyan smiled and nodded.

Brother Yan asked, "Is there water in the north?"

Zhang Jinyan said: "There is a big lake. ”

Brother Yan asked again: "The summer in the north is short, and you can't practice for a few days?"

Zhang Jinyan said: "I also swim in winter. ”

Brother Yan lost his voice and said, "How to swim in winter?"

Zhang Jinyan explained: "Ice chisel swimming. I swam from summer to autumn. In winter, you can go down to swim in the ice and catch fish. ”

Brother Yan was dumbfounded, and after a while, he asked with difficulty: "Is King Xuanwu your own father?"

Zhang Jinyan blinked, what do you mean?

He was made a son.

Isn't he born to make him?

Brother Yan said: "Can my father do this to you? "He accidentally got a cold last winter, and the family was very nervous, and the eldest sister boiled a lot of bitter soup to coax him to drink.

Zhang Jinyan said: "My father said that if you are not strict, you can't make a big deal. ”

Brother Yan was shocked and didn't say anything for a long time.

Zhang Jinyan waited for a while, and when he saw that he didn't speak, he explained: "It's not me who is digging the ice, it's the soldiers in the army." My father said that I was still young, and that it was good to swim until spring and autumn, and that I was not allowed to enter the water as soon as it froze. Mother didn't allow it. ”

Brother Yan was very speechless - he didn't make it clear for a long time, so he thought that his cousin was swimming under the ice at such a young age, and he admired it. However, he was still very happy, and felt that this cousin was extraordinary, much stronger than those gentlemen in Beijing.

He raised a smile and said to Zhang Jinyan: "If you lose for your brother, I will give you something good." Let's swim for a while, and when it's cool, I'll take my cousin to a place first, and you'll love it. - My cousin has studied the art of war, right?"

Zhang Jinyan felt that his cousin was different from him, he was very reserved and arrogant at first, but now he is much closer, because he smiled: "I have learned some." ”

Brother Yan said: "That's better." ”

The two little brothers frolicked among the lotus leaves for a while before they came ashore. Then he grabbed Jinyan's hand and said happily: "Jinyan, follow me!"

Zhang Jinyan followed him.

After crossing the bridge, I came to a rockery.

Brother Yan lowered his head and went into the cave.

Zhang Jinyan followed him in.

The rockery was like a maze, and Brother Yan took Zhang Jinyan around inside. Zhang Jinyan only turned two corners, his little face became serious, and his eyes focused on the mountains and rocks on both sides and the road under his feet.

Brother Yan stopped in front of a mountain rock, turned his face and saw that he was cautious, he couldn't help but smile, and his heart was a little more steady: This is his territory, if his cousin is even proficient in Qimen Dunjia and the number of tricks, he will really throw himself to the ground.

He stood on tiptoe and stretched out his hand to grope behind the rocks for a while, when he heard a "quack" sound, and the rocks retreated to the side, revealing a doorway.

Zhang Jinyan said: "Organ!"

Brother Yan said: "Yes." ”

Saying that, he walked in first.

Zhang Jinyan followed closely and said, "I heard my father and mother say that my uncle is the best at mechanical mathematics, and my cousin has also learned it?"

Brother Yan said: "I learned a little." ”

This will make him cautious and clumsy.

He asked, "Cousin?"

Zhang Jinyan said: "I learned a little. ”

He's really only learned a little.

In view of his previous bravery, Brother Yan didn't dare to underestimate him for this "little bit", so he stopped in front of a big stone and said to him solemnly: "I have arranged the direction and secret door here. Anyone who comes here and can clear the final chamber is my guest. You're going to try it?"

Zhang Jinyan hurriedly asked: "Who has cleared the customs?"

Brother Yan said: "My father." ”

Zhang Jinyan asked, "What else?"

Brother Yan said: "My mother." My eldest sister. ”

Zhang Jinyan is a person who is lazy to express, and after asking a question, he stopped asking, just looked at Brother Yan'er, and waited for him to continue. But Brother Gully didn't say anything. I didn't believe that there were only these three people, so I couldn't stand it and asked, "What else?"

Brother Yan said, "It's gone." ”

Zhang Jinyan: "......"

How shocked Brother Yan was before, he is also shocked now, and he doesn't believe it. He thought, anyway, I have also learned some formation techniques, and I have also heard my father explain a lot of mechanism design, my cousin is only one year older than me, and he is not in the army, and I have not been exposed to these things as much, and I will definitely be able to crack the design he designed.

So he stepped forward.

This big stone is carved with a picture of innate gossip, the stone surface is uneven, and the Qiankun Kan is high or low from the earthquake Xungendu, I don't know what the mystery is.

A quarter of an hour later, Jin Yan was still frowning.

Half an hour later, Jin Yan's face was full of despair.

He turned his face and shouted, "Cousin." ”

Brother Yan was finally relieved, it seemed that his cousin was not proficient in this aspect, so he smiled and said, "I'll teach you." If you don't learn this, you can't solve the normal. ”

Zhang Jinyan whispered: "I learned it." ”

Brother Yan hurriedly said: "You are still young." ”

Zhang Jinyan said: "Only one year younger than my cousin. ”

Brother Yan saw that his cousin was hit, and hurriedly comforted: "Didn't you throw me to the ground before? Don't be discouraged, I'll take you around first, and you'll understand when you come back. I have good things for you, all of which are of this kind. You take it and practice a lot, and gradually it will get through. ”

Zhang Jinyan said happily: "Thank you, cousin." ”
