- Jiang Chao no longer objected, but he did not immediately take the order to leave, but handed over the confession with Lin Shan's seal to Shan Liang beside him, and the matter was also transferred.

Seeing that Shanliang walked away, Jiang Chao turned his gaze, looked at Lin Shan, and said, "My lord, let's go into the house and talk in detail." ”

The two walked into the room, watched Lin Shan sit down on the recliner first, and then Jiang Chao sat down on the stool next to him, sorted out the thoughts in his mind, and then slowly said: "Big brother, I also tried out the things you ordered before." Although those rogues are fierce, they will attack you suddenly, and in addition to their own inferiority, as you might expect, there is indeed another reason. ”

After a slight pause, Jiang Chao relayed the results of his second interrogation of the two rogues to Lin Shan.

The reason why Jiang Chao repeated the interrogation of the two rogues who had already confessed was actually in accordance with Lin Shan's orders. However, the two guards involved in the first interrogation did not know anything about it.

This is because the repeated interrogation is related to Lin Shan's search for his junior brother, and for this matter, only Jiang Chao knows about it in the current residence, except for Chen Jiu.

After listening to Jiang Chao's reply, Lin Shan fell silent.

Jiang Chao waited for a moment, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Perhaps...... Mr. Cen went to Shakou County, estimated the time, and now it is too late to find out. ”

"It's too late." Lin Shan sighed, slowed down his shoulders, leaned on the recliner with a little wilting, and said slowly: "I will order you to interrogate, in fact, I just want to confirm this matter, but there will be no other actions other than that." If you want to chase it, I'll let you chase it as soon as you leave the inn. It's too much time. Even if I catch up with him, I don't have time to take him back to the Shimen School, so let him stay out for another year! We must not let this delay the important events on our side. ”

Regarding Lin Shan's search for his junior brother, although Jiang Chao learned about it later, this did not prevent him from understanding Lin Shan's difficult intentions.

After looking for more than ten years, once I had a more accurate whereabouts result, I had to let it go...... Jiang Chao looked at Lin Shan, who seemed to be distracted on the recliner. I can't bear it in my heart.

I pondered it for a while. Jiang Chao said again: "Big brother, you can write a letter and make an agreement with Mr. Cen." I took this letter with me to Shakou County. With or without results, a round trip won't take long. ”

"No need." Lin Shan shook his head, "I don't want to agree on anything with him other than taking him back directly." ”

Jiang Chao wanted to speak and stopped. But in the end, I didn't say anything more.

"Stand down, I'm going to be alone for a while." Lin Shan's eyelids slowly clattered. "Don't think about Shakou County anymore, just prepare yourself."

Jiang Chao immediately stood up, silently bowed his hand to the person on the recliner, and then walked away lightly.

……

Sunset. But it has not completely submerged into the western mountains, but like a falling heavenly fire, it will ignite all the clouds that seem to be next to the mountain peaks and refuse to disperse. The glow was like a burning, reflecting half of the sky.

There was a commotion on the road. By the time he arrived in Shakou County, Cen Chi was already feeling quite tired, and he just wanted to stay in the inn in the county, and then fell asleep. However, when he raised his head and saw the three-character stone inscription of "Shakou County", a thought suddenly lit up in his heart, and although there was still fatigue on his face, his spirit gradually became excited.

Fang Wu, a middle-aged Taoist who was riding side by side with him, glanced sideways at this time, and saw that there was a strange expression on his slightly sickly face, and he couldn't help asking, "You seem to have some understanding?" ”

"No," Cen Chi shook his head, "I'm just...... Suddenly I want to drink, and I drink a lot of alcohol. Lao Dao, do you dare to accompany you? ”

Fang Wu had already seen Cen Chi's madness halfway through, and when he heard this, he just shook his head again and again, and said with a slightly surprised expression: "What are you crazy again?" ”

Gao Qian, who was walking behind, also persuaded at this time: "Mr. Cen, it is inevitable that the residual poison will return, and I advise you to avoid bars." ”

Wine can speed up blood flow, and there is indeed a risk of provoking the outbreak of residual poison in Cen Chi's body, Gao Qian is indeed right to say this at this time, and it is also a good intention.

Cen Chi sighed when he heard this, he didn't appreciate it, he only shook his head and said, "It's boring." ”

……

After entering the county seat, the three of them soon settled in the "Shacheng Inn".

As for the situation of the "Shacheng Inn", in fact, the three of them had already figured out the bottom on the way before they arrived, and this all depended on the strong strength of the Prime Minister's Mansion in Kyoto Prefecture.

As early as when Cen Chi intended to go north, his intention was handed back to the Kyoto Prime Minister by Gao Qian with a piece of paper, and soon the Prime Minister's Mansion handed back the route plan. The map is still sketched by Lu She, meticulous, and as for the precautions on the itinerary, the Xiangfu side is almost equivalent to drawing a box for Cen Chi, and there are guides for every step.

If Cen Chi was only out for a few months, such a meticulous arrangement would indeed make him worry a lot in life, so that he could devote himself to appreciating and comprehending the scenery on the road.

But this is clearly not the case.

Therefore, the delicate arrangement of the Prime Minister's Mansion has gradually become the most disgusting place for Cen Chi.

And today, because of the encounter with Chen Jiu on the road, this has made an idea that Cen Chi has been shelving in his heart for a long time has been turned out again, and it has an unstoppable momentum of implementation.

Staying in the hotel and staying overnight, handling miscellaneous affairs is still done by Gao Qian. Cen had already entered the guest room to rest, and Fang Wu ordered a pot of new tea in the inn hall, tasted it slowly, and then went back to his room.

When he walked to the door, Fang Wu was just about to push the door, when he suddenly heard a call from the next room:

"Old-fashioned."

Fang Wu hesitated for a moment, then turned his steps and entered the next guest room.

In the room, Cen Chi was neatly dressed and sat upright at the table, facing the door, meeting Fang Wu's gaze when he had just walked in.

Fang Wu showed a hint of surprise on his face and said, "I thought you had already rested. ”

Cen Chi didn't answer him on this topic, but just spread his hands evenly: "Sit." ”

Fang Wu sat down opposite Cen Chi and stared at Cen Chi for a while before saying, "You have something?" ”

"Yes." Cen Chi nodded.

Fang Wu's eyes drooped slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he raised his eyes and said, "Do you still want to drink?" ”

"More than that." Cen Chi finally ended the rhythm of speaking with only one word as soon as he opened his mouth, and after a pause, he continued: "Tell you something." I don't know if you'll be annoyed. ”

Hearing his words, Fang Wu suddenly had a hint of consciousness in his heart, raised his eyebrows and said, "I always feel that your temperament is a little strange today, but I can't tell what the fault is. ”

Cen Chi suddenly smiled, and then said, "Your feelings are not wrong. ”

Fang Wu was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Cen Chi to respond to his words in this way.

Immediately afterwards, he heard Cen Chi say: "Today's me. It's true that I'm a little different from what I used to be. ”

When the young man in green shirt walked to the table. Reaching out to pick up a piece of shredded paper on the table, and when he was about to splice it, out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the white-shirted young man who had moved out of the way did not make the paste as agreed just now. Instead, he turned around and walked out the door.

"Senior brother?" The young man in the green shirt was puzzled.

"Hmm." The white-shirted young man answered, but it was only an answer, his footsteps did not stop, and he quickly walked out of the door.

The young man in the green shirt paused slightly in his hand holding the shredded paper. After a little thought, he didn't chase it out. Quickly regroup your mind and focus on what you are doing. But just as he was on the second page, a familiar voice came from outside the room, and immediately drew his attention again.

"Little junior brother. Come, drink some water. ”

“…… Thank you big brother. ”

"Hmm...... From now on, you have to call me Senior Brother, the brother who just beat you. It's your second senior brother, can you remember? ”

"Remember, remember ......"

"Hmm...... Master's punishment should not be neglected. You also need to kneel for half an hour. Senior brother will leave first, and I will call you when the time comes. ”

In the thatched hut, the young man in green shirt who was standing behind the square window with his head slightly tilted his head pursed the corners of his mouth. Through a window, his vision was unobstructed, and he could see clearly the two people on the ground in front of the thatched hut. He was still dissatisfied with the kneeling child, and he was a little annoyed by the white-shirted boy's act of delivering water.

In addition to the punishment of kneeling, the child should also be thirsty for a long time, which is considered a strict punishment, thinking that it is a profound lesson, otherwise I don't know how many disasters this naughty boy will cause in the future.

Just when the young man in green shirt on the side of the window was dissatisfied, he said a few words, and was about to turn around and continue to go back to the table to spell his notebook that was torn up by the child who knelt outside the house, when he paused for a moment outside the house and started talking again, and the young man in green shirt couldn't help but pause and turn around.

"Senior brother......" The kneeling child returned the water bowl and called out a little jerky, not very accustomed to using this title. But after a sound, the child hesitated, and did not continue.

A child of his age would have said whatever came to mind, and there shouldn't be any scheming. At this moment, he unconsciously revealed a trace of overage profundity.

"Hmm." The young man in a gray and white cotton shirt had clear eyes, but he didn't seem to realize the child's premature growth, so he just responded gently, turned around and didn't speak, just waited patiently for something.

"Second Senior Brother, doesn't you hate me very much?" The kneeling child hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke. A very direct question, this style is somewhat in line with his actual age.

The young man in green shirt who was looking through the window in the thatched hut suddenly heard this, and his eyes gradually condensed.

On the floor outside the thatched hut, the white-shirted young man who was standing only one step away from the child squatted down again, his gaze was close to the level of the child, and then he asked softly but with a very serious expression: "Then do you also hate your second senior brother?" ”

"I hate it, he hit me, and he hit me very hard!" Without thinking, the child not only said his hateful feelings, but also listed a proof reason.

In the face of the child's expression of annoyance, the white-shirted young man who squatted in front of him, his gaze level was still calm, but then he asked, "Then when you first met, did you hate him too?" ”

The child was silent, and after a while he muttered, "If he doesn't hit me......"

The white-shirted young man didn't wait any longer this time, and immediately said, "That's because you tore up his notes." Think back to yourself, in the years in the mountains, did the second senior brother ever show a fierce look at you every day, and speak harshly? On the contrary, how many buckets of water and how many bundles of firewood did the second senior brother do for you in pity of your young and weak strength every day that the master ordered you to give you morning and evening classes? ”

The child was silent again, and this time he was silent for a long time without speaking again.

The white-shirted young man sighed softly, his expression softened, and he said slowly: "The note has been torn up, and I will reprimand you for this matter." It doesn't help. Senior brother just doesn't know something, you are not a child with a stubborn temper, but why do you want to tear up the notes of the second senior brother? ”

"I ......," said the child, who said only one word, lowered his head and bit his lower lip, and did not continue.

"I believe that this is not without reason." The white-shirted boy's expression was still calm, "You should remember." The second senior brother is not light, and he will get angry and beat people's temper. He actually took a lot of care of you, but you really did it wrong this time. If you have something to say to him, Senior Brother can help you convey it. ”

The child, who had been bowing his head and not saying a word, suddenly raised his head. With a worried look in his eyes, he said, "Will the second senior brother reconcile with me?" ”

The white-shirted boy seemed to catch the answer he had been waiting for for a long time from the child's words, and there was a bright color in his eyes, and instead of answering the child's question, he asked with a smile: "It depends on whether you sincerely hope to reconcile with him." ”

……

I don't know how long the years are in the mountains. But Cen Chi, who was only five years old at the time, could deeply feel that his father's tall but angry figure was missing in his life. Without his mother's lamenting and weeping face, and then filling in three strangers, his life does not seem to be much worse, but more pleasant and fun than before.

The three strangers. They are the master, the senior brother, and the second senior brother.

Specifically, it was not these three people who broke into his life, but his homeland that was robbed. Separated from his loved ones, when his unhappy but stable life was torn apart, he was on the verge of death due to hunger and disease. The small world of these three people contained him.

Although he didn't know why at first.

But the strict and at the same time erudite Master; Xiao Kuang, the elder brother who does not live with him but is gentle and friendly; There is also Lin Shan, the second senior brother who has many frictions in life, but has the most frequent and long-term opportunities to get along, and actually takes a lot of care of him...... The other kind of "family" formed by these three people allowed Cen Chi to quickly integrate into it, unrestrained and free.

The contradiction and dispute between the torn book, the senior brother didn't know what method he used, and he really persuaded the second senior brother to reconcile, and the stable and harmonious life in the mountains continued.

Until one day, because of one thing, Cen Chi suddenly remembered.

And the interval of one year did not make him forget the mistake he made last time, but the guilt in his heart increased dramatically.

……

It was raining lightly that day, and the color of the rain clouds was a little darker, and the humidity on the mountains was heavier. The second senior brother ran back from somewhere, and his body was quite sloppy, as if he had rolled in the mud, which was very different from his usual neat and tidy appearance. At that time, Cen Chi had been on the mountain for nearly a year, and he was used to the usual appearance of the young Lin Shan, and at first glance he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the wolf who came back like this.

And Lin Shan's next move when he returned to the thatched hut was to pull his junior brother Cen Chi out and run out.

"Senior brother, where are you taking me?" Cen Chi, who was still just a child, showed a look of surprise on his face, and halfway through being dragged out of the door, he threw the sutra that he was reading to the sixth page back into the house.

"You'll know when you get there." The young Lin Shan still made a fuss.

When the young Lin Shan stopped, Cen Chi, who was six years old, saw a pile of ashes.

"Today is your birthday, junior brother, it's been almost a year since you arrived in the Great Wilderness Mountain, and I took something good to celebrate with you." As he spoke, the young Lin Shan squatted down in front of the pile of ashes, and picked up the ashes with his bare hands, revealing a pottery altar inside. The young Lin Shan picked up the pottery altar and held it in front of the young junior brother, and said, "You can open the lid and take a look yourself." ”

Cen Chi pouted and said, "Don't look at it, it's a bug!" ”

"You're stupid, if it's a worm, put it in the jar and burn it in the fire, won't they all die?" The young man Lin Shan snorted, but his not very satisfied expression only stopped on his face for a moment and then dissipated, obviously not caring about the bad speculation of his junior brother's kindness to him, and then urged: "Reveal it quickly!" If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't spare my hands, I would have helped you uncover it a long time ago. ”

Cen Chi reluctantly reached out to uncover it.

And when he saw the things in the pottery jar, a look of surprise immediately appeared in his eyes...... In that kind of surprise, there was no fear after being teased by the senior brother's prank, only a burst of surprise at first, and gradually the surprise turned into an apology.

A few mountain eggs boiled in the clear water in the pottery jar made Cen Chi, who had eaten green vegetables and white rice for a long time, happy in his heart, but soon he remembered another unpleasant thing.

"Senior brother, I'm ......" Cen Chi held the lid of the pottery altar that was still warm with fire ashes, his hand hung in the air and did not move, and his speech became fragmented.

"Huh?" The young Lin Shan answered, but his attention was quickly drawn by a bolt of lightning that slashed across the sky.

"Not good. It's starting to thunder, and it's going to rain heavily. The young Lin Shan withdrew his gaze from the sky, holding the boiled egg pottery jar, he couldn't free his hand, so he had to look at his junior brother and urged: "Come with me, I know there is a wild boar nest near here, go and hide first, and then you can slowly enjoy the delicious food I prepared for you." ”

……

In the cave. There are dots of mud all over the clothes on his body. The young man, who had also broken a few cuts, sat cross-legged on a pile of weeds, not minding himself in the slightest, but concentrating on peeling a hard-boiled mountain egg in his hand. He was sloppy though. But the hands of the egg peeler were clean, because they had just been carefully washed.

Cen Chi, who was sitting next to him, looked out of the cave from time to time, and when the senior brother beside him handed over the peeled mountain egg, he took it with a sluggish reaction. He didn't immediately open his mouth to eat, but said with a frightened face: "Senior brother." This is a wild boar's den, and there won't be any wild boars coming back, right? ”

"So you've been trembling since you entered the cave, are you afraid of this?" The young Lin Shan had just finished peeling a mountain egg. Then he fished out an egg from the pottery jar with boiling water next to his knee and continued to peel it, and at the same time said casually: "Don't worry, this cave is absolutely safe." ”

"Senior brother. Why are you so sure? The young Cen Chigang imitated the master's tone and finished half a sentence seriously, and then the meaning of the second half of the sentence became strange. Do you know the language of wild boars? ”

The young Lin Shan's face turned slightly when he heard this, and he pulled the corners of his mouth. But in the end, because he kept in mind the advice of the senior brother and wanted to be more patient and tolerant of the little junior brother, he endured the momentum of arguing with the little junior brother, and only took a deep breath and said slowly: "I don't know if the wild boar can speak, I only know that there are no wild boars in this cave." ”

"If there is no wild boar, how can it be called a wild boar hole?"

"Because there used to be, now it's definitely not."

"Then why was there before, but not now?"

"You can ask Senior Brother about this trouble."

"Why does Senior Brother know, but Senior Brother you don't?"

"I want to ask you first, why do you have so many why?"

"If you don't understand, ask why, Master said, if I don't understand something, I can ask my senior brother for advice at any time."

"This question is not within the scope of Master's teaching......

"That boiled mountain egg is not the knowledge that Master has taught."

"Didn't you go dig the pheasant's nest because you wanted to eat? You remember last year, I didn't promise you to climb a tree and dig out a bird's nest, and you tore up my notes when you turned around...... I just thought that on your birthday, I took out two nests of mountain eggs, which can be regarded as compensating for your regret......"

"Uh...... Senior brother, I actually still want the ...... in that bird's nest."

"That's just a little bigger, how can there be a mountain egg that is big!"

"But I've never tasted that kind of egg!"

"You ......"

……

In the midst of some arguments, Cen Chi unconsciously learned a lot of things from his senior brother Lin Shan.

For example, when you climb a tree and find that there are eggs, a large percentage of the eggs have actually begun to transform into chicks and cannot be eaten. So a year ago, the senior brother did not agree to the request of the senior brother and went up to the tree to dig the bird's nest.

As well as about birthdays, the date was identified by the senior brother Lin Shan in the inscription on the silver hoop around his neck.

and the wild boar cave where he was at the moment, why there was only a hole and no wild boars returning from the rain, Cen Chi also roughly inquired clearly, but the result made him shocked again.

Looking at Cen Chi after eating the last mountain egg, the young Lin Shan added regretfully on the issue of "there is no wild boar in the wild boar nest": "If your birthday can be a few months earlier, you can eat the wild boar trotters barbecued by the senior brother with me, it is really delicious!" It's a pity that you may not be able to eat it in the future. ”

Hearing this, Cen Chi's eyes also showed a hint of yearning, and he couldn't help but say, "Won't the wild boar come back?" Like a house where people live, they can be replaced, so why can't the cave be replaced by a herd of pigs? When he said this, his expression and tone were obviously different from just now, and he was no longer just afraid.

"Four litters of wild boars have been replaced! If you change a litter without a litter, even the pig will have a long memory...... The Great Wilderness Mountain is so big, and it's not just this cave. The young man Lin Shan stared at the junior brother beside him, and said with an extremely serious expression: "If there is a room, whoever lives in it will suddenly disappear, and who will dare to live there?" ”

Cen Chi looked at Senior Brother's serious and stern expression when he spoke, somehow. A trace of fear suddenly sprouted in my heart, as if somewhere in this not very deep cave, the figure of an evil spirit came out of the ground, and it was still growing infinitely, and began to show its teeth and claws.

Lin Shan, who was only a ten-year-old boy, couldn't understand the fear in the heart of the six-year-old junior brother, and after he argued with the junior brother, he turned his head to look outside the cave. Looking at the increasingly dense rain curtain outside the cave. He said a little melancholy: "It seems that I won't be able to go back for a while." Fortunately, Master is not here these days, otherwise he may not be able to escape punishment today. ”

With that, he pulled out a tattered booklet from his bosom. Very serious look.

Cen Chi could identify this tattered booklet at a glance, the booklet had been carefully maintained and was very smooth, and the reason why it was now in tatters was that it was in tatters. It's all because of his willfulness a year ago. It's easy to tear up a book, but it's extremely difficult to put it back together. Cen Chi remembered that the two senior brothers struggled for more than 20 nights in order to put together this booklet and not delay their homework during the day. But no matter how careful you fix it. Some losses are never recoupable.

The young Cen Chi's eyes showed timidity, and the guilt in his heart became more and more serious.

The ten-year-old boy Lin Shan didn't mind that the culprit of the booklet was sitting beside him, his face calm. All the spirit is condensed in the tattered and spliced title page of the booklet, and I will study it carefully.

It's been a year. Under the teaching of the old man in Beili, Cen Chi learned a wealth of knowledge. As his mind has been expanded and his horizons have naturally improved, he has also realized more deeply what a treacherous act he did when he tore up the book a year ago.

However, the senior brother did not agree to one of his pleas, and he destroyed the relics of his family's most cherished senior brother. He actually knew very well in his heart why he didn't tear up other books that day, but tore up that one, the whole process was obviously calculated by him, but it was not what the senior brother who persuaded peace said.

Because he observed that one was the most important thing for the senior brother, and that day he ruthlessly decided to do something to make the senior brother sad.

Thinking back on this now, he only felt extremely sorry, but he didn't dare to tell the truth. He had been avoiding thinking about it, but now that his senior brother was by his side, and the torn booklet was beside him, he could not avoid it, and he naturally remembered it, and the guilt in his heart was even worse.

In the face of the mistakes you have made, if you can't admit the responsibility directly, you can only make up for it from the side.

These are the two choices that many people in the world make in the face of their mistakes.

Although Cen Chi was six years old at the time and could not express some things in words, it did not prevent him from making the original choice of human nature.

- Just as although he can't express the guilt and guilt in his heart, it does not prevent this feeling from hitting his heart, making him a little sad and depressed.

The young Cen Chi pulled the weeds he sat down, trying to make up something to pass the time, but soon he found that he couldn't do this. Helplessly, his gaze finally slowly moved to the broken booklet in his brother's hand, and the dense fine words on the booklet seemed to record his sins.

Biting his lip and being silent for a long time, the young Cen Chi finally couldn't help but ask, "Senior brother, have you really forgiven me?" ”

"What?" The young Lin Shan only raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, as if he didn't understand his junior brother's words, and as if he had really forgotten something he hated about beating his junior brother violently.

Cen Chi gritted his teeth and said, "The matter of tearing up the book." ”

Lin Shan finally took his eyes off the tattered book he was holding in his hand, he raised his eyes to look at the young junior brother, and said lightly: "I also had something wrong that day, no matter how angry I was, I shouldn't have done anything to you." We learn from the same teacher, and if you call me a senior brother, I will treat and take care of you as a younger brother. What's more...... I can't get the notes back as they were, alas......"

After saying that, Lin Shan suddenly sighed, with a slightly gloomy look in his eyes. A ten-year-old child can't hide his thoughts very skillfully. Although he forgave his junior brother, looking at the broken notebook in his hand, the regret in his heart was still a little uncontrollable.

After receiving positive confirmation from his senior brother, Cen Chi's anxious mood finally became more steady. When his spirit relaxed, and when he saw his senior brother sighing worriedly, he felt a little empathy and hoped that he could relieve his worries.

After thinking for a moment, he asked, "What about the note...... Isn't it already spelled out? ”

"That's pretty much it, but a few words are missing." The young Lin Shan stroked the crumpled title page and said softly: "In the early years, I used to memorize this notebook, but then I didn't turn it over for a while, and I only found it recently. In some places, I forgot jì, and no matter how much I read it repeatedly, I couldn't remember what those missing words were. Master said that regular revision is more important than memorization, and that's true! ”

Cen Chi had a thoughtful look on his face, and suddenly said, "Maybe I remember!" ”

Lin Shan was surprised and said, "You? ”

……

When Xiao Kuang, the twenty-second generation disciple of Beili, found his two junior disciples in a cave on the mountainside that had been occupied by wild boars, he saw two boys four years apart lying on the ground side by side. The head is very close. As if discussing something, the hands of the two men occasionally gestured to a tattered book under their faces.

"Second junior brother, third junior brother. You're really hiding here. Xiao Kuang, the senior disciple of Beili, took the oil-paper umbrella in his hand and walked into the cave, "You guys are lying on the ground, what are you doing?" ”

The young Lin Shan noticed for a moment the people who walked in from outside the cave. When he looked up and saw that it was Senior Brother, a happy smile immediately bloomed on his face. He sat up and beckoned, "Senior brother! What a genius the little junior brother is! He was able to never forget! ”

Cen Chi, who was lying beside him, also looked up at the entrance of the cave, and soon laughed happily, and called, "Big ...... Senior Brother ......" In his impression, Senior Brother is not often seen. So whenever he opened his mouth to call this senior brother, he always felt a little jerky in terms of title.

After Cen Chi finished calling, he was ready to turn over and sit up like the senior brother next to him. Unexpectedly, after lying on his stomach for a long time, one side of his arm was numb by the body. Not only did he fail to support his body, but he fell carelessly and fell with a mouth full of grass clippings.

"Senior brother." Lin Shan hurriedly helped Cen Chi, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Cen Chi said truthfully: "My hands are numb. ”

At this time, Xiao Kuang had also walked closer, looking at the second junior brother rubbing his hands to the third junior brother, he was a little puzzled and asked, "Third junior brother, the master taught you martial arts, didn't you understand it?" The paralysis of the limbs caused by the behaviors of standing for a long time, sitting for a long time, and squatting for a long time should be relieved quickly. This is also a skill that we must master in the future. ”

Cen Chi immediately lowered his head when he heard this, and said in a low voice: "I'...... I can't get the hang of it. ”

Lin Shan, who was on the side, explained to him: "The little junior brother is only six years old, and the days of practice will be long in the future, what is the hurry." Not everyone is like you, talent is in martial arts, but you compare your endorsement skills with your little junior brother? ”

Xiao Kuang didn't argue with Lin Shan, but because of his words, he remembered something that he almost ignored, and asked with a smile: "Senior Brother Lin, how do you think that junior brother can never forget?" ”

Lin Shan pointed to the tattered booklet spread out on the ground, and carefully described what happened after Cen Chi took the booklet and read it just now.

After Xiao Kuang listened, he didn't show too much surprise on his face, and said with a light smile: "It seems that Master's eyesight is still sharp, and his luck is also good." ”

The two juniors had puzzled expressions on their faces.

Xiao Kuang hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Little junior brother, you stand up, senior brother has a question to test you." ”

Cen Chi hurriedly stood up and looked at the senior brother, although he didn't speak, his expression was obviously becoming more serious.

Lin Shan also stood up, and at the same time helped out: "It can't be too difficult, it's only been a year since the junior brother started!" ”

Xiao Kuang really wanted to play tricks on Lin Shan at this time, when did the relationship between these two children become so iron? But he just smiled at it in the end, and then put away his smile, and his face gradually became serious. He bent down and picked up a dead grass from the ground, then stared at the two juniors in front of him, and then broke the grass in his hand.

"Little junior brother, can you tell the length of this grass?" Xiao Kuang grabbed the end of the folded withered grass with his fingertips and handed it out to Cen Chi's eyes, while his gaze stared at Lin Shan's hand hanging by his side, and said in a deep voice: "Senior Brother Lin, don't try to help cheat. ”

Lin Shan didn't speak, just tied his hands behind his back and turned his head to look away, looking unconcerned.

After a while, the voice of the little junior brother Cen Chi came: "Five inches." ”

"Well, that's good." Xiao Kuang nodded appreciatively, then pointed at Lin Shan, and said, "Senior Brother Lin, it's your turn." ”

Lin Shan turned his head and said with a slight surprise: "You didn't say you wanted to test me just now!" ”

"Come on, don't pretend." Because the length of the withered grass has been reported by Cen Chi, in order to be fair, Xiao Kuang's fingertips moved slightly, and retracted a part of the withered grass into the palm of his hand, "Give you three breaths of time, one, two......"

Before Xiao Kuang finished shouting three numbers, Lin Shan had already opened his mouth and replied: "Three inches and four points." ”

Xiao Kuang only raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, but he didn't praise Lin Shan like Kwa Cen Chi, but after getting an answer, the other hand hanging down on his side slid out a tape measure like a trick and began to measure it on the dead grass.

The total length of the withered grass was six inches and four minutes, so Cen Chi's report was not entirely accurate. And the section that was pinched and folded after that, the length was three inches and two minutes, and although Lin Shan did not report the correct length, it was amazing enough to be able to "measure" the length of this dead grass in such a short time with the naked eye.
