12. Chapter XII
The rooms arranged by Dr. Ximen for their sister and brother were connected together, and Xie Xing took advantage of Xie Ling's time to take a bath and walked around this house to familiarize himself with the terrain, and finally found the rockery that Chu Liuxiang told him about last night, and relaxed a little.
said that it was a rockery, but it was actually about two people tall, and it was quite far from their two rooms, Xie Xing felt that Xie Ling should not come to this place in the middle of the night.
Well, Master is so smart.
After hearing no movement in the next room at night, Xie Xing sneaked out of the room again and went there.
Chu Liuxiang was already waiting for him there, seeing that he was more light-hearted than when he was at home, he touched his nose and laughed at him, "Are you so afraid of being known by your sister?" β
"Of course I'm afraid, in her eyes, learning martial arts is definitely not a proper job." After running to the rockery and standing still, Xie Xing finally breathed a sigh of relief, "So I must have learned before I can sue her, so it's too late for her to stop it." β
Chu Liuxiang naturally wouldn't discourage his enthusiasm, and when he swore by him, he immediately shook the folding fan and smiled: "Then let's start, do you remember the trick I used last night?" β
Xie Xing's eyes lit up instantly, "Remember!" β
The master and apprentice didn't need internal strength to dismantle the move for half an hour, Chu Liuxiang put his left hand behind his back the whole time, and held the closed folding fan in his right hand to block his fist, which seemed to be effortless and extremely simple, but in fact, every movement was demonstrated hundreds of times in his mind.
It is naturally not difficult to block Xie Xing, who is only eight years old, but the difficult thing is to block and leave a line at the same time to let Xie Xing continue to make a chance to change his moves, this kind of exercise method is simple to say, but it is extremely difficult to do.
Probably only a learned person like Chu Liuxiang who has been involved in many famous kung fu can do it.
"You don't have to force yourself to learn from me, you can use which angle you feel is most comfortable, and which one is most suitable for power." He pointed at Xie Xing between the blocks, "For example, now, I'm holding a fan in my backhandβ"
Xie Xing's comprehension is very high, as soon as the words fell, his palm has become a fist, and he turned half of his body to point directly at his face, between the lightning and flint, the closed folding fan is like a swimming fish sliding from his palm, but at the last moment, he pinched the fan surface, and with a force of his thumb, the fan handle flew straight up, blocking Xie Xing's fist.
The sound of cramped breathing was still echoing in his ears, Xie Xing still couldn't believe that he couldn't break half a move, "Master, you're too powerful, aren't you......?"
"You've only been studying for a few days, and you think you're better than me, and your appetite is not small." Chu Liuxiang helped him breathe, "It's still early." β
"Then how long do I have to learn to beat Xiao Li's flying knife?"
This question is really difficult to answer, Chu Liuxiang pondered for a moment, and said honestly: "When you can beat me, you will naturally be able to beat him." β
ββ¦β¦ So you're not much better than him? "Xie Xing is very good at grasping the key points.
Chu Liuxiang smiled, "Xiao Li's flying knife is not a false hair, and it is not a cat or a dog, what do you think of others?" β
"I don't care about this, I can't let my sister marry him anyway."
"Wait?" Chu Liuxiang was a little puzzled, "Miss Xie and Ye Kai ......?" β
"I think my sister is good to him, better than Lu Xiaofeng, who told her the cutest!" Xie Xing seriously recalled the table of dishes that Xie Ling cooked on the day Ye Kai left Yangzhou, and suddenly became angry, "But he looks very poor at first glance, and marrying his sister can't live the days of drinking a bowl of soy milk and pouring a bowl of soy milk." β
Hearing this, Chu Liuxiang really couldn't help but burst out laughing, and stretched out his hand to touch the apprentice's head, "Okay, then you can only learn from me seriously." β
"Hmm!" Xie Xing nodded vigorously.
Chu Liuxiang, as always, did not stay for a long time, and left after pointing for half an hour, Xie Xing looked at the figure of the master flying over the courtyard wall, and after envy, he naturally planned to go back to the room to sleep, but as soon as he turned around, he saw Ximen Fuxue in white frowning and looking at him.
"You...... When did you come? β
Ximen Fuxue didn't bother to pay attention to him as before, but raised his hand and pointed to the courtyard wall that had just been turned over by Chu Liuxiang, "When he left." β
Xie Xing opened his mouth, and couldn't think of any suitable explanation for a while, so he had to pretend to be vicious, "You are not allowed to sue my sister!" β
"It's none of my business." Simon Fuxue glanced at him and walked away.
When he said this, Xie Xing didn't think so.
So after returning to the room, Xie Xing was worried in bed until dawn, tossing and turning and unable to sleep, and he was a little sleepy when Xie Ling came to knock on the door.
"Ah Xing, hurry up."
He was so sleepy that he forced himself to open the door after getting dressed, and he didn't forget to secretly observe Xie Ling's face, feeling that it was not much different from last night, so he put down his snack a little.
"Why are you stuck like this?" Xie Ling asked him.
He yawned and waved his hand, "I'm not used to sleeping." β
"It's more comfortable than the bed at home, and you can't get used to sleeping." Xie Ling stretched out his hand to help him straighten out his collar, "I steamed the buns, you take two more to the private school and stop for Zhu." β
"Oh, good." After answering, he remembered that the Ximen Medical Hall was only two streets away from his school, and asked casually, "Then do I want to bring him here for dinner at noon?" β
Xie Ling nodded, "His house is far away, so let him come here." β
What she thought was that with Zhu Zhu's skillful hands, she could probably make Chongqi who was still blowing snow in Ximen happy by the way.
The little girl, who was already weak and sickly, was not good at breathing any longer, and Dr. Simon was not here at this time, and if she was bored with any illness, she would probably only be able to run around like a headless fly.
Ximen Blowing Snow, as the culprit who made Chongqi angry, had no remorse at all, and when he sat at the table and ate her steamed buns, he was picky, "Next time, you can put some dried bamboo shoots." β
Xie Ling: ...... Oh.
You are the young owner, you have the final say.
Fortunately, the method of calling Zhu Zhu over really worked, Xie Ling exchanged a whole squirrel mandarin fish for him to make a lifelike wooden goldfish for Chongqi, not only the eyes are vivid, but the body can also be folded, and even pressing the mechanism on the fish's head can make it shake constantly.
Chongqi couldn't put it down when he held the fish, and finally had a smile on his face, and praised Zhu Zhu's strength.
Xie Ling couldn't help but glance at Ximen Fuxue's expression while feeling comforted, and felt that this son's brows seemed to be wrinkled a little more, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, sure enough, the gap between the sword god and Lu Xiaofeng in the means of flirting with the girl was innate.
In general, except for occasionally listening to Chongqi and chanting over and over again Sister Ah Ling, don't you really want to be my fifth sister-in-law, Xie Ling still lived very comfortably in the days of living in the Ximen Medical Hall.
After all, since she was twelve years old, she has never had any idle days, and now she only needs to cook, eat and sleep for half a month, and she feels that her face is rounded.
Chu Liuxiang also felt this way when he saw her again, but from his point of view, Xie Ling, who had a little more flesh on his face, was still much better looking than the previous appearance that was so pale and thin that he could almost be blown off by the wind.
With willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, red lips and white teeth, and pink cheeks, even if she wears the most inconspicuous coarse cloth green clothes, she can't hide her loveliness.
Such a girl was embarrassed standing in front of the door, of course he couldn't see it.
Not to mention that Xie Ling is still the sister that his apprentice cares about the most.
"I really tell you all that I know, this lord." Xie Ling scratched his face, very distressed, "It's not that I don't take you to see the person from the control agency, but he may come back in a while, can you bother the adults to wait here for a while?" β
And the man in the flying fish suit standing opposite her frowned without a trace, and his blue eyes darkened, "How long?" β
Xie Ling was about to say that about half a pillar of incense was enough, when he caught a glimpse of a blue figure flying down from the roof of the medical hall and landing half a step in front of him.
"If I didn't guess wrong, Your Excellency should have also come to investigate the murders in Jinling City?"
"You are?" The man didn't hide his frowning movements anymore, and his eyes were extremely cold.
"It doesn't matter who I am." Chu Liuxiang raised her hand to stop Xie Ling, who wanted to speak, "The important thing is that I have the clues to those murders in my hands, I wonder if this official is interested?" β
"Do you have a clue?"
"Of course." Although Chu Liuxiang has accepted an apprentice and is seriously guiding every night these days, Xie Xing is still investigating those cases when he goes to the academy, although he has not yet reached the point where the truth has come out, but he definitely dares to say that he has figured out a lot of things.
Xie Ling was blocked by him, and he was still a little dazed, and he couldn't interject, so he had to turn his head to see if Xie Xing and Zhu Zhu were back.
The hunter with an expression so cold that he could freeze to death looked at Chu Liuxiang for a while before he said, "What do you know?" β
Chu Liuxiang looked him up and down, his eyes moved from his hair to the token hanging from his waist, and suddenly paused, hooking his lips and showing a smile, "It depends on where this adult asked." β
It's a pity that before this person could speak again, Xie Xing and Zhu Zhu had already run over from the end of the street.
What Xie Xing saw at a glance was the picture of his sister and master standing together, and without thinking about it, he directly put the person opposite into the range of 'not a good person', and trotted to Xie Ling, "Sister! β
Zhu Zhu followed him and yawned, raised his eyes and saw Chu Liuxiang, stunned, "Why is Chu Daxia here?" β
"Ah Xing, you go in first." Xie Ling rubbed his brother's hair and wanted to push people in, but Xie Xing, who had been obedient recently, actually hugged her waist and didn't move, "I don't!" β
She had no choice but to ignore him, pulled Zhu Zhu, and said to the catcher: "The person who the adult wants to find is him." β
"Him?"
"I can testify." Chu Liuxiang rushed in front of Xie Ling and spoke, "If you don't believe it, you can follow me to Yangzhou Six Gates." β
"You're from Six Doors?" Catcher's face was a little pale, but his tone was still very cold.
The curvature of Chu Liuxiang's lips became more obvious, "I know that Lord Leng came from Jinling, and he must also want to find out the truth of this matter. β
