9. Chapter IX
Like a tornado, Su Wuwu came in a hurry and left in a hurry. Early the next morning, I made a table of spicy vermicelli buns and pancakes for Shen An and Shen Ping, many of which Shen Ping had never seen before.
Shen Ping wanted to keep it, but when he saw Shen Ao's stiff face, he finally swallowed the words in his stomach.
During the day's practice, Shen Ping couldn't calm down no matter what. Thinking of yesterday's defeat, I felt a pang of anger in my chest. Unable to cultivate his mind, Shen Ping originally wanted to cultivate the sword, and then remembered that the Qingmang Sword was left in the woods.
After another period of distress and boredom, Shen Ping kicked the wooden stake twice, and began to practice the boxing technique that he was not good at.
Sweating profusely at the end of the day.
The noon meal has changed back to the previous coarse tea and light rice. Shen Ping was even more depressed in his heart, and put down his chopsticks after two bites.
After the hard practice in the afternoon, when he was about to go back to the "Lotus Clear House", Shen Ping suddenly smelled a strong fragrance. Thinking if Su Wuwu left something delicious and he didn't eat it, he hurriedly ran in the direction where the fragrance wafted from.
However, when he went to the kitchen to find the source of the fragrance, Shen An's heart immediately cooled down - the bowl containing the "medicinal food" in the kitchen was specially prepared for Shen An, and the fragrant porridge in it was naturally reserved for Shen An.
Thinking of the shame of being defeated by Shen An yesterday, Shen Ping suddenly became angry.
In the past, Shen Ping never felt jealous and sad because his brother had an extra bowl of "porridge" than himself. Su Yao is not good at cooking, and he likes to stuff things into his mouth, and every time he eats a meal, he jumps and jumps. In addition, Shen Aoctao prefers light food, Shen Ping has learned the same, and only thinks that coarse tea and light rice are what cultivators should eat. After Su Yao's death, Shen Ao's move to open a "small stove" for Shen An is, in Shen Ping's view, just proof that Shen An's inheritance has been excluded.
However, last night's Su Wuwu opened the door to a new world for Shen Ping.
-- Only by enjoying everything that can be enjoyed in the world can we know the temptation of red dust, but that's it.
Shen Ping looked at this bowl of porridge, looking left and right, and couldn't help but wonder what kind of taste such a fragrant thing would taste like on his tongue.
He had asked curiously what the food in that bowl was, but after his father told him that it was not a good thing, Shen Ping naturally put it on the back of his mind.
Shen An didn't deserve anything good!
However, despite his indignation, Shen Ping did not have the courage to swallow and drink the porridge alone. He respected his father, and even feared him. If it was something that Su Yao had prepared, maybe Shen Ping would have put it in his stomach like this - anyway, no matter what Shen An had, his mother would definitely give him a copy.
But if it was something that Shen Aoduo was going to give Shen An...... Shen Ping didn't have the courage to touch it.
He still remembered that half a year ago, a new disciple of the Shen family, because he didn't understand the rules and thought that Shen An could be bullied, drank his porridge, and was driven out of the Shen family by Shen Aoduo.
That disciple was at fault, but Shen Ping also felt that his father's move was really excessive. Fortunately, that person was just a disciple of the outer chamber who was selected to come in, and he didn't have any family background so he didn't cause a big mess.
Anyway, since then, although the protégés in the family are dissatisfied with Shen An, no one dares to challenge Shen An's status in person.
He really didn't understand what his father's purpose was in keeping this brother......
Shen Ping didn't think it was bad to be born later than Shen An before, but now he faintly felt that something was different.
Why would my father prepare a unique medicinal diet for his brother? Why does the elder brother hide his powers? And, why is my uncle's life completely different from my own life in the Shen family?
He looked at the bowl of porridge in a daze.
He had no right to question - because whatever Shen Aozao did, he must be right.
However, this does not affect Shen Pingjia's "bad thoughts".
Shen Ping remembered the "Chaotian Spicy" brought by Su Wuwu from other places yesterday, thought about it, made a proud grimace, and began to rummage around the kitchen. Finally, next to the cutting board, I finally found the spicy ones that had been chopped under the bowl. He looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he carefully pressed the spicy seeds and buried them under the porridge. Seeing a trace of scarlet scarlet floating around the porridge, he quickly poured another spoonful of white rice on it to cover the color.
I was doing a bad thing happily, but suddenly I heard the familiar soft footsteps. Shen Ping hurriedly put down the spoon, straightened his clothes, straightened his back and rushed in with green sleeves and smiled:
"Sister Greensleeves, are you sending porridge to my brother again?"
When Green Sleeves saw Shen Ping, his heart immediately seemed to melt. Faced with a stern head of the house and a silent young master all day long, this child with a warm smile can always heal her.
"Well, what about sending medicine to the young master, why is the second young master here? Isn't it usually that you don't want to rest until the sun goes down? ”
Shen Ping stuck out his tongue at her and said, "I practice swordsmanship and am lazy, don't tell others." ”
Green Sleeves covered his mouth, thinking that the second young master was still a child after all, and giggled: "You can hide it from others, but you can't hide it from the head of the family, isn't your sword from the master of the family, second young master?" How can this be hidden? ”
Shen Ping was shocked, the sword he left in the woods in a panic was found by his father?!
Seeing Shen Ping's pale face, Green Sleeves hurriedly comforted: "But don't worry about the second young master, the head of the family has gone to find the young master." If you cultivate sword qi well, the head of the family won't say anything about you. ”
Green Sleeves' words made Shen An's heart almost jump out-
Losing to Shen An! Daddy got it!
No way! I'm going to follow along! You must not let Shen An talk nonsense in front of his father!!
================================================================================
The sun had set, and Shen An was sitting in the room, holding a medical book in his hand. It was Su Wuwu who took it out of the storage bag - according to him, it was all the medical experience that the Su family allowed to be read outside the box, and he printed several copies to carry with him, and he would give them to a doctor with a foreign surname when he saw a fate.
This book fell into the hands of Su Wuwu, it was really a tyrannical thing! Shen An flipped through the price of the book in the "commodity shop", and the label of 800,000 points made his heart tremble. Looks like that's a good thing. After Shen An got his hands on it, he immediately began to flip through the "Plague Chapter". He knew that in a few years, a "ghost plague" would begin to spread in the territory of the "Iron Pen Horse Family", and if Shen An could show his skills in that natural disaster, he would be able to get enough points, so that he could kill Yuan Hui and Si Ming without worrying and not being imprisoned in the "punishment little black room".
Just as he was fascinated, a knock on the door pulled him back to reality.
Seeing that it was time to take medicine again, Shen An got up and opened the door. was ready to greet Green Sleeves, but was blocked by the tall figure outside the door.
"Father."
Shen An bowed his head, quiet and obedient.
Shen Aoduo ignored him, but turned his head to Green Sleeves, asked her to give the medicine to him, and then sent her down.
Shen An saw the Qingmang Sword that Shen Ao was holding in his right hand, so he pressed his head lower.
Shen Aoctao hated his expression, it was exactly the same as Su Yao's-pretending to be a submissive weakling, but he secretly didn't know what he was planning.
Shen Aoctao likes to be feared and looked up to, he once thought that Su Yao was the kind of gentle and obedient woman. However, the woman always had dangerous thoughts that she had no control over.
- The woman had no fear.
Shen Aocao walked into the room, sat down on the maple chair in the main seat, put the porridge on the table with the Qingmang Sword, tapped his fingers on the edge of the table and said, "Take medicine." ”
Shen An stood on his left side, motionless, his spine straight and straight like a tree.
Shen Aocao frowned: "Ping'er went to the woods yesterday and had a color on her face. I've heard that you've been fond of walking in the woods lately, but have you ever met him? ”
"Never."
Shen An lowered his head and said not a word.
Shen Aocao snorted coldly: "I asked my disciples yesterday, do you know what they said? They said that the last person to see Ping'er was your sword boy, Shen Fu. ”
Shen An's eyes rippled slightly, and then dimmed again.
Shen Aoduo narrowed his eyes—he knew the strength and temperament of everyone in the village. After discussing the important matter with Su Wuwu, he began to investigate Shen Ping's itinerary that day, and got a report from the doorman, saying that he finally saw Shen Fu and Shen Ping together, and immediately sent someone to the woods to investigate, and sure enough, Shen Ping's lost sword was found in the forest.
He did doubt that Shen An had already discovered the "Transformation of Root San", so he asked Shen Fu to kill Shen Ping and forced himself to choose Shen An as the only heir.
Shen Fu does have the ability to hurt Shen Ping, but he is not a person who can make a move on the second young master of Red Lotus Villa, no, on a child.
His temperament is too simple to be used by Shen An.
Besides, if it was really Shen Fu who hurt Shen Ping, his son would have no reason to hide himself.
However, thinking about it from another angle, Shen Ping's temper knows best. How could his proud son admit to losing to a disciple with the status of a domestic servant.
Thinking about it, it is always Shen Fu's biggest suspicion, although Shen Aoctao has no evidence, but to cut off Shen An's wings, he only needs to make a suspicious appearance.
"How many years has Shen Fu been with you?"
"The child has been with Shen Fu since he was sensible, and he should have been with him for ten years."
By the way, Shen Aoduo secretly thought that Shen Fu was originally selected by Su Yao to be the companion of the incompetent Shen An.
Isn't that kid with green sleeves like that? The spirit child brought by Su Yao's mother's family, but unfortunately it is a woman who can't become a big weapon after all.
The delicate is unfaithful, and the loyal is unscheming. Su Yao's provocative vision is still so bad.
Shen An was a threat, and Shen Aoduo knew it very well. Although he didn't know where this child had changed, his intuition told Shen Aoduo that it would be too late when Shen An showed his feet, and he had to cut off his right-hand man right hand at this moment - completely destroy it before Shen An could grow up.
"Shen Fu, that kid, the fate is not over, it is not suitable to cultivate immortals, I plan to let him go down the mountain."
Shen An was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "It's okay, the skills he learned in the Shen family and the capital he saved are enough for him to live for a lifetime after going down the mountain." ”
Shen An's relaxed expression did not seem to be disguised, but as if he was sincerely happy for Shen An. Shen Aoduo's face was not good, but he didn't say much:
"Drink the medicine."
Shen Aoctao knocked on the table again to remind Shen An.
Shen An still bowed his head and remained motionless.
However, the medicine moved.
I saw a jade-inlaid long sword falling from the sky and hitting the corner of the table, and the medicine bowl bounced up with the shock force and flew towards the beam. Shen Aoduo saw that the situation was not good, and took out the "Qingmang Sword" and slashed it towards the medicine bowl. The jade-inlaid long sword was like a living thing, and after "humming" a few times, it immediately slashed diagonally towards the Qingmang Sword to block the attack.
Shen Aoctao immediately recited the sword technique, and the "Red Lotus Sword" he was wearing flew out from his side in response, and the hilt of the sword struck towards the medicine bowl.
A figure suddenly jumped down from the beam, tapped the hilt of the red lotus sword with his toes, caught the medicine bowl with one hand, and jumped back to the beam with a slight leap.
"Su worry-free! ! Shen Aoduo couldn't pull out the red lotus sword nailed into the table, and raised his head and shouted angrily at the person on the beam.
On the roof, the man who was lying on the beam with Erlang's legs crossed and lying sideways, who else could there be if it wasn't Su Wuwu?
