Chapter 1: Summer Light
"Where did Xia Guang's girl go, why can't I see her every day." A roar shook the sparrows that were resting in the big tree outside the house and almost fell off the tree accidentally, but fortunately they seemed to be a little used to it, and hurriedly flapped their little wings vigorously to be invincible.
"Master, my sister seems to have said this morning that she was going down the mountain to help Aunt Wang's cow Ah Peanut cub in the town." Feng Zhumo is also accustomed to this, and his master doesn't yell so many words every day, and he still feels uncomfortable. So he told the man who was in a rage with great calmness, and spoke at an astonishing speed without any sense of pause.
"What, didn't she just help Li's Ah Shun tie it a while ago, why did Ah Hua give birth again." Juan roared, he couldn't understand why his little apprentice had such a preference, specializing in helping these beasts to tie and have children.
"My sister said that Ah Shun is ligated, can't you have a Ah Shun No. 1 and Ah Shun No. 2? He also said that he told you not to yell like that, saying that it was bad for your throat. Feng Zhumo plucked out his ears, although he listened to it every day and was used to it, but at such a close distance, it was still a little too loud. After plucking out his ears, he slowly replied. I couldn't help but give a thumbs up to my junior sister, junior sister, you really know enough about the master, and you can know in advance what he will say.
"This rebel ......" Juan was speechless for a while, wanting to be angry, but he couldn't get angry, but he was depressed and panicked, and he always wanted to say something.
"My sister said don't scold her for being a rebel. Otherwise, there will be nothing later. Feng Zhumo relayed the words that his junior sister relayed to him again.
What does it mean that there will be nothing in the future? Juan was really angry with his little apprentice, but he really couldn't scold him. It's really panicking.
Why did he raise such two white-eyed wolves, one only knew schadenfreude all day long, and the other came to collect debts.
"Where's the rice?" Juan breathed a sigh of relief before asking with a smile on his face.
"Senior sister didn't prepare this morning." Feng Zhumo replied that geography was a matter of course.
Juan raised his eyebrows and was about to attack, but suddenly remembered that something was wrong, how could his eldest apprentice be so calm, if the little apprentice didn't cook, he would be the first to wail. "So how did you solve it?"
"Ah, I, didn't there be a few steamed buns left in the kitchen yesterday, so I took them and ate them hot." Feng Zhumo still had the same expression as before, and replied without emotion.
"You bastard, haven't you ever thought about being a teacher?" Juan raised his hand and was about to hit his eldest apprentice, but someone was ready to leave at any time after he finished speaking. So Juan hit someone, of course not.
"Master, junior sister said, I won't come back until tonight, so you have to do everything by yourself." Although the Fengzhu ink man ran away, he still didn't forget to explain what his junior sister said.
"What are you running kid, don't you come back soon to cook a meal for the teacher." Juan yelled in the direction that Feng Zhumo had left.
"Master, I'm going to eat at the bottom of the mountain, you can do it yourself." Feng Zhumo dared to stay, and even quickened his pace to the bottom of the mountain. He doesn't want to cook, it's really unseemly for a big man to cook.
For a while, Juan still saw people, so he couldn't follow his eldest apprentice to ask for food, no, it was rice. But the heart still has to say a few words to express the resentment in his heart. "Why did you accept you two rabbit cubs, it's like an enemy in a previous life."
Then go to the kitchen to see if there is anything else to eat, and then figure out how to get something to eat for lunch.
A few of the sparrows in the trees began to shrink their little heads again, closing their eyes to rest, as if nothing had disturbed them from what had just happened.
But they didn't know that some old man in the kitchen was trying to figure out how to catch them all in an instant.
"It's been a long time since I've eaten roasted sparrows." ……
Xia Guang, the person at the center of the incident, did get up early in the morning and went down the mountain, but her main purpose was not to help Ah Huahua's cow cubs, her main purpose was to listen to the storyteller in the town.
This storyteller only comes to the teahouse once a year, and he tells the story vividly, so there are many people who come to listen to it, but it is very popular. Xia Guang would be so fond of the venue, mainly because she wanted to know more about what was going on outside, and she always knew that she would leave this place one day and go outside.
For as long as she can remember, her cheap master once told her that she was picked up by him and his senior brother. At that time, her face was ruined and could not be restored at all. The master read that she was a girl, and made an exception to help him change his appearance. It's very simple to say, but in fact, this disguise is the rarest of all kinds of disguise, not to put a skin on you, and then draw a shape on the skin, but to remove the bones and flesh, apply special medicine to repair the texture of the face, the pain is unbearable. Luckily, she was in a coma at the time, so she didn't feel anything. Her memory was also sealed, and the master said that he didn't want her to have too much hatred in his heart, and hoped that she could live a good life.
She understands the master's intentions, so there is nothing to worry about. It's also great to live with my master and brother, and every day is very fulfilling. Although the master always likes to ask her to cook for him, wash and tidy up the house, she is also willing. It's just that you have to play with your temper occasionally, and you can't always weigh the old man's intentions, so there will be today's play.
But ever since she heard the storyteller's story, she has always had the urge to go out and see the world, not to stay in this valley for the rest of her life.
"It is said that three years ago, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Third Highness, one went to the same temple to become a monk, and the other went to Mosuguan to become a Taoist, and His Royal Highness was promoted by His Majesty to be the prince. Although he is the crown prince, His Majesty has never looked at him differently. It is said that His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince has not been in office for a few days, and His Majesty sent him to bathe in the Moon Lake for seven days, saying that it was to wash away the vulgar atmosphere of the prince. Do you know how cold that Moon Lake is, ordinary people can't stay there for a long time, let alone the sick and weak prince. People say that the crown prince offended His Majesty and caused this catastrophe, but some people say that only those who survive the seven days of entering the Youyue Lake can ascend to the Ninety-Five Venerable......"
Xia Guangzheng listened with relish, but someone came over without knowing each other and patted her on the shoulder.
"Senior sister, didn't you go to deliver the baby to Aunt Wang's cow, why did you stay here and listen to the comments." The person who came sat down unceremoniously opposite Xia Guang, grabbed a large handful of melon seeds and swallowed them.
"Senior brother, don't stay on the mountain, what are you doing down the mountain?" Xia Guang kept the remaining melon seeds on the table in his hand, what kind of joke, this melon seed cost her a lot of money, so she didn't give it to him.
"Senior sister, you are really getting more and more stingy." Feng Zhumo deliberately shook the hand that grabbed a handful of melon seeds in front of her, and swallowed the melon seeds louder.
Then he answered her question and said, "Senior sister doesn't prepare lunch, I can only rely on my own face to cheat and cheat." ”
"Senior brother, please don't sell cute." Xia Guang really couldn't put the person who spoke with that face. It's not that her senior brother is ugly. On the contrary, her senior brother is actually very good-looking, white and clean, with a handsome face, curved eyebrows and eyes, quite attractive. It's just that the senior brother always has only one expression, commonly known as facial paralysis. You can imagine the appearance of a person who has no mood swings, but when he says a cute sentence, it is simply terrifying. She once thought that her senior brother was also embarrassed by her master, and she was also a failure of her master, but she accidentally gave Yi that appearance, and she even sympathized with him in her heart. In order to make up for his young mind, he often prepared some delicious food and drink for him, who knew that the senior brother would even change Bengali to call her at that time. In the end, the master couldn't look at it (the master couldn't look at it mainly because his little apprentice didn't take him as a master in his eyes, and all the good things were given to his big apprentice, which couldn't make him blush?) So when I asked her what the reason was for that period, it was possible that she liked her brother. Xia Guang naturally shook his head like a wave, and told her master the reason for his thoughts. At that time, her master seemed to have laughed for a long time, and almost got angry, and then touched her head and said, "Xia Guang, you are so cute, your senior brother is born, even if I make a move, how can there be such a mistake." Since then, Xia Guang has never given her senior brother a good look.
Perhaps the storyteller finished speaking a paragraph, and many people in the audience applauded and coaxed him to do another paragraph.
But Feng Zhumo doesn't think there's anything good about it at all, and what the storyteller says is nothing more than what he heard from the outside, and he doesn't know which ones are true and which ones are false, why so many people like to listen to them. "Senior sister, you come to listen to this old man's story every year, what do you hear?"
"Senior brother is really interesting, what else do you need to listen to the story. I just love to hear it. Xia Guang looked at the energetic old man above with a focused face, and took a melon seed from the pile of melon seeds he was guarding and swallowed it.
"Okay, you continue to listen, and I won't accompany you as a brother." Feng Zhumo deliberately stood up, blocking her vision, and then said.
"Let's go." Xia Guang waved his hand, as if chasing flies, and then said three times in a row.
Feng Zhumo took advantage of her gap, probed her hand, grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the pile of melon seeds she was protecting, and then familiarly used light skills and ran away.
Xia Guang subconsciously looked at the place she was protecting, just now, she grabbed the melon seeds all over the table, she didn't buy many melon seeds, but now she has even less. In a hurry, he yelled: "Feng Zhumo"
At that time, everyone in the teahouse stopped moving, even the storyteller in front of the teahouse stopped telling the story, and everyone laughed at the only person standing.
Xia Guang finally realized that she seemed to have done something she shouldn't have done at this time, her face turned red all of a sudden, and then her head moved a little bit, and when she saw everyone staring at her, she hurriedly bent down and apologized in all directions: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Then he quickly sat down on the seat, lowered his head and took a melon seed and swallowed it to hide his embarrassment at this time.
Although Feng Zhumo ran away, it was on the roof of a house not far away, so what his junior sister did was in full view. He watched the play with melon seeds, and there was no pressure in his heart at all, "Well, this melon seed is fried well today, and it tastes so fragrant." ”
