Chapter 7, Quarrels
Chapter 7, Quarrels
Night crept down, and the sky flashed one point after another, sometimes bright and sometimes dark, the slight wind blew into the woods, and the light and shadow swayed in a dilapidated house in the square village. From time to time, a figure could be seen walking around outside the window.
"Mother, this dish is delicious"
Xiao Ji An chewed in her mouth as she put vegetables into the bowl.
"An'er, you eat slowly, eat slowly"
Xiao Ji'an's mother said with a smile.
"Don't walk around, sit down and eat first"
Xiao Ji'an's mother said as she looked at the man with his back to her.
Hearing this, Xiao Ji'an's father seemed to stretch his brows, turned around and sat on the chair slowly, looking at Ji An, who was eating, his brows furrowed again, and he only picked up the chopsticks and put it down again.
"Hey" Little Gian's father got up and walked to the window, picked up the spear he usually hunted, took off a slightly yellowed cloth from his waist, turned to sit on the chair and wiped the spear. But he didn't open his mouth again.
In the room, little Ji An was eating the food on the table with relish, and Ji An's father and mother were really absent-mindedly doing their own things, as if they had made an appointment, and they didn't speak.
"I don't agree" In the end, it was Ji An's father who broke the silence between the two of them.
"You don't agree with anything. Ji An's mother said as she stared at the man in front of her.
"Ji An is only eight years old this year, I really don't feel at ease when I let him go to the Blue Lotus Sect," Ji An's father looked at Ji An who was still eating and said loudly.
"You also know that the talent test of the Blue Lotus Sect is conducted every three years, and children under the age of ten in every village here have to take the test, if you miss this time, An'er will not meet the set standards of the Qinglian Sect in the next talent test, and then our An'er will not be able to enter the Qinglian Sect. After Ji An's mother finished speaking, her eyes kept looking at Ji An's father.
"What about the Blue Lotus Sect, if it weren't for this place, how could this Blue Lotus Sect be put in my eyes" After speaking, Ji An's father looked out the window at a point of light that suddenly lit up in the starry sky, and seemed to see something.
"What are you talking about, the Blue Lotus Sect still has its own set of cultivating talents, and it still has a certain influence here," Ji An's mother continued.
"Qinglian Sect, didn't you see what those few people were doing to An'er during the day?" Ji An's father asked loudly.
"I can see it better than you, although the Qinglian Sect has become more and more disagreeable in recent years, but it is only a few, they will definitely not do anything to a child, if there is any problem, we will go to the Qinglian Sect to settle accounts" Ji An's mother seems to be not too interested in the Qinglian Sect, which is a behemoth for the villagers outside, and the couple has a certain understanding of the Qinglian Sect.
"Mother, what is the Blue Lotus Sect?" Listening to their conversation, Ji An asked while his father had not yet spoken.
This time, Ji An's mother did not answer Ji An's question.
"I want to take An'er out for training by myself"
"No, I don't agree," Ji An's mother hurriedly said
"Why"
"Have you forgotten why we're here," said Syne's mother, patting the table
"How could I forget," Ji An's father said bitterly.
"An'er's path should be let him go by himself" Ji An's mother looked at Ji An and said, at this time, her eyes just met Ji An who raised her head, and saw that Ji An's expression was still ignorant.
"This is really cruel to An'er!"
"His surname is Ji" Ji An's mother spoke firmly, this word seemed to remind something, and at the same time, Ji An's father's frowning brows were completely relaxed, and he glanced at little Ji An, and the cloth that wiped the spearhead was also put away, staring at the shiny spearhead, as if he saw the spear flying out and stabbing the prey.
"Then let An'er choose," Ji An's father turned to little Ji An.
"Let's ask An'er, let An'er choose by herself, let's see how Ji An chooses?" Ji An's father said to Ji An after putting away his spear.
"An'er, my mother asked you, are you willing to follow those people from the village during the day today to study, of course, if you don't want to, you will follow your father to hunt" The more he spoke, the voice seemed to be getting quieter and quieter, and he didn't have the toughness of the quarrel just now.
"Come with them, no, no, I don't want to leave you, don't you want An'er" Ji An said noisily
"Seriously, Dad will ask you again if you would like to learn immortal arts from them," Ji An's father seemed to say very clearly.
"Immortal, what is an immortal" The ignorant Xiao Ji An asked this question for the first time.
Ji An's father and mother looked at each other, and then smiled slightly, as if Ji An's answer was very satisfactory to them, like a child grasping a castration, instinctively choosing what would accompany him for the rest of his life. And this kind of thing seems to be something that Ji An's mother and father are looking forward to. However, they did not answer Ji An's question.
"An'er, you go with them, don't bully people there, remember to eat more," Ji An's mother began to instruct.
"Wow, wow, wow, ahh
"Also, An'er is about to go out to meet people in the world, you can't cry when you encounter anything, otherwise you will be laughed at, especially in front of girls" Ji An's mother smiled and touched Ji An's head.
"Whoever cries his nose cries his nose, no, no," Ji An said dissatisfied.
"I think An'er will definitely be able to get ahead in the future and become famous all over the world," Ji An's mother said proudly.
"And remember that your surname is Ji," Ji An's mother said, intentionally or unintentionally.
"En" Ji An fell into his mother's arms
"Okay, okay, you two talk slowly about me going out, I may come back later tonight" Ji An's father looked at his wife and children in front of him, and got up to leave.
"Where are you going?" asked Syne's mother.
"I'll go to the village chief, today the village chief received the green shadow wolf cub rewarded by the Qinglian Sect, this time the Qinglian Sect doesn't know what to do, the green shadow wolf can't hatch, it's useless, I'll see if I can help, you clean up, if it's too late, you two will sleep first" Ji An's father looked at them and said.
"In this way, looking at the talent of this green shadow wolf, hatching it is also a big help for the current village," Ji An's mother patted the little Ji An who was already asleep.
"Ji An, this kid. Looking at the sleeping little Ji An, Ji An's father seemed to want to say something, but he didn't say anything, picked up the freshly wiped spear and went out.
"An'er, I can't be by your side in the future"
The wind blew in softly through the window, and Ji An's mother stroked the green silk next to the two, revealing a face that did not match their age.
