Chapter 10 First Punishment
In the early morning, the sun shines into the yard, and the birds outside are still chirping. My brother asked me to go to the mountains to collect medicine, and I happily followed. Everything looks business as usual, but often the sea is calm before the storm.
"Senior brother, let's have a game! See who found more herbs, and then say the names and effects of the herbs. "An idea popped into my head.
"Good! Don't cry if you lose. "Senior brother has been collecting medicine for many years, and he has a look of victory.
The two of us were drilling around in the mountains, rummaging around with sticks, neither of us wanting to lose to the other.
"Haha, look, I found Banxia!" I pointed to Banxia in the distance, and I felt proud.
"So what do you tell me about it?" Senior brother asked me.
"Half summer is bitter, warm and poisonous. It has the effect of drying and dampness, reducing inversion and relieving vomiting, and eliminating phlegm. Treatment of damp phlegm cold drink, vomiting, nausea, cough and wheezing phlegm, chest and diaphragm fullness, phlegm syncope, headache, dizziness and sleeplessness. "I looked at my senior brother with a smug face, hum! What could this stump me.
"You wait, how can I lose to you!" Looking at my smug appearance, my senior brother was not to be outdone.
"Du Ruo, look! I found myself! Senior brother pointed to a Du Ruo tree and said to me.
"Hahaha......" I laughed so hard that I almost rolled on the ground.
"Alright! I won't mess with you, there is a lot of shortage of medicinal materials now, let's find more to go back. "Senior brother reminded me.
"I know! I know! "Really, sometimes I feel that my senior brother is as verbose as my master, and I deserve to be my master's personal disciple.
In this way, the two of us giggled and laughed, and the journey was much lighter, and we didn't feel as tired as when we came to collect medicine before, and we were about to go home after picking it.
Before I got home, I saw the master and Nian Nian standing at the door from a distance, I still wondered if there was something big going on, how could the master have such a good interest today, still waiting for us at the door, did he prepare any surprises for us?
"Master, Niannian!"
I trotted over, and found that there was something wrong with the expressions of the master and Niannian, the master looked at me sternly, and felt that his eyes were about to burst into flames, and Niannian shook his head at me, looking at me a little inexplicable.
"What's wrong with the master? What are you two doing standing in the doorway? Seeing that something was wrong, I quickly asked.
"Come in!" The master changed his usual gentleness, and his tone was serious, which made me a little scared. When he turned around, I could see him with the ring ruler behind his back.
"Get on your knees!" The master turned to stand in front of me, looking at me with a stern look in his eyes, but also a little disappointed.
"What's wrong with the master, what did the junior sister do wrong!" Senior brother was anxious to speak for me.
"Leave it alone, stand aside!" The master didn't let the senior brother interject.
"Bang~" Seeing the master's appearance, I was so frightened that I immediately knelt down, lowered my head and didn't dare to speak, I thought it was something else, and I didn't think about yesterday's things.
"Bring it and let her see for herself!" The master turned his head to look at Nian Nian, and Nian Nian shivered in fright.
"I'm sorry, Miss......"
Nian Nian put the half-bitten dough trembling in front of me, shrank back, and shook his head at me.
When I saw my face, I felt like a bolt from the blue, and my head buzzed, and I knew that I had made a big mistake this time.
"Familiar? Do you think you're hiding well? If I hadn't been bitten half by a wild dog in the mountains, I might not have found out! "The master looked at me with a look of hatred that iron is not steel.
Master...... "I originally wanted to be coquettish."
"Reach out!" The master raised the ring ruler in his hand.
"Master......" My tears rolled in my eyes, in fact, I was not afraid, but I felt sorry for the master.
"Count it yourself!"
"Smack"
"One...... Two...... Three ......"
"Master......"
"Recount!"
"One...... Two...... Three...... Four...... Eighteen...... Nineteen...... Twenty...... Woo ...... "When I got to the twentieth time, the master stopped, and I couldn't cry silently, not only the pain in my hands, but also in my heart, I let the master down."
"Do you know it's wrong?" The master gasped slightly, and the wrinkles on his face became more obvious.
"Master...... I...... I was wrong, I don't dare anymore, if you want to beat or punish me, I will admit it! "I knelt on the ground, not daring to look up into the master's eyes, only hoping that the master would forgive me.
"You've disappointed me so much, if I do it again next time, I won't have you as a fuinant!" After speaking, the master threw the ring ruler to the ground, turned around and walked back to the room, what I didn't know was that the master turned around and his hands were shaking, and he couldn't help but shed tears when he was old.
In fact, the master's heart is also very reluctant to beat me, and he blames me not entirely because I secretly learned forbidden arts, but because he is afraid, afraid that after this matter is known by others, it may bring me ruin, and he regrets a little, why didn't he burn this book at that time.
"Master...... Woo...... "After listening to the master's words, I was very scared in my heart, I was afraid that the master would not want me, and I was afraid that the master would not hurt me in the future."
"Senior sister, get up, let's go and deal with the wound, the master is angry now, when he is better, you can coax him again." After the senior brother saw the half of the face that looked like him on the ground, he actually understood, but he felt that the reason why the master was really angry about this matter should not be this face.
"Miss! Let's go and bandage the wound first. Nian Nian cried and persuaded me.
No matter how Nian Nian and my senior brother persuaded me, I knelt on the ground and refused to get up, I looked at my hands fixedly, although there were many red marks and broken skin, but I knew that the master had shown mercy.
After a while, frightened and overly sad, I fainted with my own anger.
"Senior sister!"
"Miss!" Senior Brother and Nian Nian shouted in unison.
The senior brother anxiously carried me back to the room and put me on the bed, then went out to give me the medicine to wake up, Niannian wiped the sweat on my body, and wiped the wounds on my hands with water.
"Master...... I was wrong...... "I fell into a coma, my eyes kept rolling in my eye sockets, my mouth was still shouting master, my hands and feet kept moving, and I was holding me down with all my might.
"Miss......" Niannian couldn't stop crying when she looked at me, she blamed herself a little, blaming herself for not hiding her face well, so that I would be punished.
"Divine Doctor......" After seeing the master, Nian Nian wiped his tears.
After hearing the shouts of Nian Nian and Senior Brother, the master anxiously prepared medicine to bandage my wounds.
"Silly boy...... Alas......" The master shook his head, bandaged my wound, and took my other hand.
"Master......" I opened my eyes dimly, and saw the master sitting next to my bed, holding my hand, and tears couldn't stop flowing.
"Master...... Don't you want to be in vain? Master...... I was wrong! I don't dare anymore! You don't want me! "It suddenly occurred to me that my father had left me, and if the master didn't want me, I would never be able to experience my father's love again, and my heart ached.
"Silly boy, I don't blame you!" As he spoke, the master's eyes were slightly red, and he reached out to wipe my tears.
"The medicine is here!" The senior brother hurriedly came in with the medicine.
"I'll do it!" The master took the medicine and fed it to me one bite at a time.
"Master, I'm sorry......" Looking at the way the master looked, I blamed myself.
"Actually, I don't blame you for stealing this book, the transfiguration technique has become extinct in the martial arts, if someone knows about you, you may face a catastrophe, and the master doesn't want you to be injured." The master held my hand tightly, trying to reassure me.
"Master, after my father left, you are the only one who loves me the most......" I endured the pain and sat up and hugged my master tightly. That's right, that's what it feels like, it's what a father feels.
"Good boy, there is still a master! As long as the master is in one day, he will hurt you and protect you for one day! The master gently patted me on the back and comforted me.
"Master, I will never mention it to anyone in the future, I will not harm myself, and I will not drag down the master." I looked at the master with a determined look in my eyes.
"That's it, this may also be a kind of chance, no one can say whether this thing is good or bad, since it can make you learn, maybe you have a fate with it." The master looked at me and seemed to be thinking about something.
"Don't you think this is a bad thing?" I don't quite understand what the master means.
"I'll burn this book myself later, but if you really can't use this method in the future, I hope you don't want to kill." The master looked at me solemnly.
"I promise that I will never reveal the content of this book in the future, and if I am really cornered, I will only use the second method." I know that the master must know the content of the book, and it is not a big problem to make noodles from its practical pig skin, but I am afraid that the gangsters will kill and sell human skins.
"Don't be so willful in the future!" The master finally put his heart at ease and looked at me lovingly.
"I know, thank you for your teaching." I looked at the master with a smile.
"Miss, it's all my fault......" As soon as Nian Nian saw the master leave, she immediately looked depressed and took my hand.
"What do you blame? Silly girl! "I squeezed her hand and comforted her.
"If I hide it, I won't be discovered, and Miss won't be punished, woo......" The more Nian Nian said, the more aggrieved he became, and the more sad he felt in his heart.
"Oops, all right! Then I'll punish you to make me something to eat. "I'm really hungry after making a fuss like this.
"Good! I'll be there right away! Nian Nian put away her tears and ran to the kitchen with a smile. It's so good, I don't have a heart or lungs, and I should be a lot happier.
"Quick, Miss open the door!" Nian Nian called me with steaming noodles.
"It's coming!" I jumped out of bed and opened the door.
"Oops! Scald me! Nian Nian put her noodles on the table, kept puffing with her hands, pinched her ears, and jumped around the room.
"Well, it's delicious!" I used my chopsticks crappily with my left hand.
"Hahaha......" We looked at each other, and the two of us looked at each other and smiled.
In fact, when the master was in the yard in the morning, he received a letter from my sister, and I was thinking of giving it to me, but who knew that such a thing happened. Looking at my current state, the master thought about it and planned to send me my sister's letter tomorrow......
