Shangguan Xirou pouted and said, "But he's like this, how can people eat it?" ”

Shangguan Hongyuan said: "Do you like to eat or not, why do you have so many things at a young age?" ”

Shangguan Xirou was stunned, snorted, glared at Liu Qi and ran out. Liu Qi was embarrassed and didn't know what to do.

"Master..."Liu Qi shouted in a low voice.

Shangguan Hongyuan waved his hand and said, "Don't care about her, I'll eat when I'm hungry." How can you get used to such a problem when you are not very old? It's all what you're used to. ”

Ruan Yingyu glared and said, "You say it again?" ”

Shangguan Hongyuan was stunned, coughed, and said, "Okay, Sixth Brother, you can practice today, but didn't you start practicing the exercises and see the big vat in the courtyard?" ”

Liu Qi nodded and said, "See, master, there are ten cylinders there." ”

Shangguan Hongyuan smiled, and Peng Feiyu and the others showed malicious smiles. Everyone is like this, Liu Qi is a little confused, waiting for everyone's next step.

Shangguan Hongyuan said: "Five miles down from here, there is a stream, you go to fill the ten tanks every day, after the water tank is full, then go to the back of here, there is a forest behind, the trees there are not big, only two people hug each other, three zhang high, cut ten trees every day." When you can do these things in a day, you can cultivate. ”

In the early morning of the "Dragon Head Peak", in the dining room, except for Shangguan Xirou, everyone is here. But everyone didn't eat, Liu Qi was in a daze, and Shangguan Hongyuan and others smiled maliciously. At this time, even Ruan Yingyu pursed her lips and smiled.

Liu Qi's eyelids twitched a few times, and he said, "Senior brother, were you like this at the beginning?" ”

Zishushu said with a smile: "No, we were either carrying water or chopping wood at the beginning, but we were not like you. ”

When Liu Qi heard Zishushu say this, he immediately became reluctant and exclaimed, "Master..."

But before Liu Qi finished speaking, Shangguan Hongyuan waved his hand and said, "Don't be nervous, they were young at that time, and you are already so old, so you naturally have to do more." ”

Liu Qi was stunned, thinking of Huzi, who was only one year older than himself, and must have started to go up the mountain to cut bamboo at home, Liu Qi nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll do it." ”

Shangguan Hongyuan said: "Let's eat, by the way, you say, if a disciple who has just entered the door has not cultivated for a few years and has more than a few senior brothers who have cultivated half a jiazi, what should a few senior brothers do?" ”

Zishushu smiled and said, "Hehe, then you still need to say it?" A few senior brothers should find a place where no one is there and commit suicide. ”

Shangguan Hongyuan nodded and said, "Yes, let's eat." ”

Peng Feiyu and the other four were still laughing, and suddenly the four of them were stunned, and at the same time looked at Liu Qi with wide eyes, but Liu Qi buried his head and ate the rice in the bowl. Afterwards, the four of them ate like a storm, and after eating, the four of them ran out after saying a word. Although the four of them didn't like to cultivate, they didn't care if they were surpassed by Liu Qi. However, if it is too simple to be surpassed, it is not faceless.

Shangguan Hongyuan looked at the four people who ran out with a smile, and said, "Sixth, if you can surpass them within five years, in addition to rising from three taels to five taels a month, I will give you an extra hundred taels, how about it?" ”

Liu Qi was stunned for a moment, and then said happily: "Really? Master. ”

Shangguan Hongyuan nodded and said, "But, if you can't surpass them, I will only give you one or two a month in the future." ”

Liu Qi was stunned, the corners of his mouth tugged, and then he began to pull the rice, after a few breaths, Liu Qi had already finished eating, and then ran out, leaving only Liu Qi's voice in the living room, and said: "I know the master, I went out to fetch water." ”

Shangguan Hongyuan looked at Ruan Yingyu with a smile and said, "This time the vision is good, right?" As soon as the sixth man came, those four knew about cultivation. ”

Ruan Yingyu threw Shangguan Hongyuan a roll of the eyes and said, "Let's eat quickly, Xirou hasn't eaten yet, you can talk about her in a while." ”

Shangguan Hongyuan sighed and said, "Xirou's cultivation is not bad, but this temper..."Shaking his head and sighing, Shangguan Xirou has long been accustomed to being loved by thousands of people, but at this time, the two of them reprimanded themselves for Liu Qi, of course they couldn't bear it.

After Liu Qi ran out, he looked at the ten water tanks that were about the same height as himself, and then looked at the buckets on his knees, feeling that two buckets each time, how could it take more than 30 times to fill them, Liu Qi swallowed his saliva, and then ran to the kitchen. When he came out again, Liu Qi was muttering in his arms, and Liu Qi grabbed two buckets and ran out.

In front of the courtyard of "Longshou Peak", there is a winding path that leads downward, and every other step, a rectangular green brick is paved on the ground. Liu Qi grabbed the bucket, not in the slightest mood to appreciate the surrounding scenery, and ran down to fetch water.

"Bah... Liu Qi's body fell, his dark face touched the blue bricks on the ground, Liu Qi cried out, and the bucket in his hand had already fallen out.

Liu Qi sat on the green brick, tears of pain were about to flow out, his dark face was covered with mud, and his face was already scratched. At this time, a girl in red walked out of the woods next to her, and only stopped when the girl was still a foot away from Liu Qi, who was sitting on the ground.

"Hmph, are you very good? Just a few days after I arrived, my father and mother scolded me for you. The woman is Shangguan Xirou, and her originally white and tender face has also shown anger.

Liu Qi was stunned, sat on the ground and looked up at Shangguan Xirou, and said, "I'm sorry, senior sister, I don't know..."

Before Liu Qi finished speaking, Shangguan Xirou interrupted arrogantly and said, "Hmph, don't call me senior sister, I didn't recognize you as my junior brother, tell you, it's just the beginning now, and you will suffer in the future." ”

Liu Qi lowered his head, sat on the green brick and said silently, his drooping head made it difficult for others to see his face clearly, but at this time, a trace of grievance and sadness flashed in his eyes.

Shangguan Xirou looked at Liu Qi and didn't speak, and said, "Don't go to your father and mother to complain, otherwise see how I clean you up." After Shangguan Xirou finished speaking, he ran out.

Shangguan Xirou left, Liu Qi never raised his head, and after a while, Liu Qi raised his head, and the grievance in his eyes had long since disappeared, replaced by a look of stoicism. Liu Qi looked at the steamed buns scattered around, regardless of the scars on his face, stood up, didn't care about the dust on the steamed buns, picked them up, and put them in his arms. Liu Qi walked to the bucket that fell out, picked up the bucket to make sure it was not broken, and then walked down the mountain.

With the disappearance of Liu Qi, two figures appeared in the jungle, and the two figures were Shangguan Hongyuan and Ruan Yingyu, Ruan Yingyu looked at Shangguan Xirou's back when she appeared, with a sad look on her face. Shangguan Hongyuan looked at Liu Qi's back with a faint smile on his face.

Ruan Qiyu looked at it for a long time, and then said to Shangguan Hongyuan: "Xirou is too unlikely, I only knew that she was willful before, why is she so excessive now?" ”

Shangguan Hongyuan shook his head and said: "In the past, she was the youngest, and no one cared about her willfulness, but at this time, there was suddenly one more Liu Qilai, and she naturally thought that there were fewer people who loved her, so she would treat the sixth child like this." ”

Ruan Qiyu frowned and said, "Then what should I do?" After you go back, you can talk about her well, she is so willful, what will she do when she grows up? ”

Shangguan Hongyuan spread his hands and said, "Let's talk about it, I'll take care of the affairs in the sect, you can take care of the affairs at home, Xirou, you go and talk about it, I'll go to the boss and talk about it." ”

After Shangguan Hongyuan finished speaking, he walked out irresponsibly, Ruan Qiyu looked at Shangguan Hongyuan's back and was stunned, shook his head and walked over.

Liu Qi didn't have to wait a long time, he had already run to the stream in the mountains, Liu Qi knelt at the water's edge, and slapped his face with the stream, the cool stream slapped on his dark face, Liu Qi was so painful that tears were about to flow out. After washing, Liu Qi filled the bucket with clean water, and carried two buckets of water in his hand, Liu Qi felt heavy and abnormal, and then walked forward with difficulty. But when he left, his body shook badly, and the water in the bucket had already spilled a lot.

The afternoon sun was still scorching, and Liu Qi's clothes were already soaked, Liu Qi was carrying a bucket, his face was like a red apple, and the sweat on his face was dripping on the green turn under his feet. When he was halfway there, Liu Qi paused, put the bucket in the middle, wiped his sweat, and walked to the big tree next to him and sat down.

Liu Qi leaned on the trunk of the tree, wiped his sweat, and looked at the scorching sun in the sky with a trace of confusion in his eyes. Liu Qi didn't know what his purpose here was. When he came out, Liu Qi only thought about going outside to make money and make life better at home and in the village, but he was accidentally brought here by Shangguan Hongyuan.

Liu Qi didn't know where he should go, could he just keep cultivating here for the sake of silver? He didn't understand the concept of cultivation, and he didn't know what cultivation meant. He was confused, he was helpless, and no one here would tell him what to do next. At this time, Liu Qi thought of Sanniang, if Sanniang was here, he would definitely tell him.

Liu Qi's tired body, messy thoughts, leaning on the trunk of the tree, were a little drowsy, and his heavy eyelids were about to merge. Suddenly, the mana in Liu Qi's body worked, the mana was less, but it felt very close, the meager mana, in the blink of an eye, it had already rotated in a circle, and then returned to the dantian again, disappearing.

Liu Qi was stunned, the sense of familiarity just now hit his heart, and his tired body immediately stood up and looked around, and after looking at it for a long time, Liu Qi sat down with a lost look in his eyes. Liu Qi closed his eyes and wanted to feel the air flow in his lower body, but no matter how Liu Qi looked for it, the air flow disappeared like a stone sinking into the sea.

Liu Qi opened his eyes, scratched his head and thought in confusion, and after a while, Liu Qi suddenly put his hand into his arms, and Liu Qi took out the four steamed buns that had been covered with mud. Liu Qi patted the steamed bun that was already cold, although the sand disappeared, there was still some dirt on the steamed bun, Liu Qi didn't care, picked up the steamed bun and ate it.

After running in the morning, Liu Qi was already hungry, and at this time, the physical fatigue disappeared, and it was natural to eat. After gobbling up four steamed buns, Liu Qi touched his stomach and felt that he was full, but Liu Qi's mouth was very dry at this time, Liu Qi ran to the bucket, his head was on the water, his mouth entered the bucket, and he began to drink the water in the bucket.

With a "snap", the bucket burst instantly, the water splashed, Liu Qi's hair and clothes were all soaked, Liu Qi looked at the bucket under him in a daze. At this time, on the path ahead, Shangguan Xirou walked over, and Shangguan Xirou looked at Liu Qi kneeling below with disgust.

Liu Qi looked up and saw Shangguan Xirou coming over, Liu Qi lowered his head and shouted, "Senior sister." ”

Shangguan Xirou turned her head away and said, "The water you fetched is drunk by everyone, and your head is stuck into it, how do you let others drink it?" ”

Liu Qi lowered his head and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, senior sister, I don't know." ”

Shangguan Xirou glanced at Liu Qi in disgust, and said impatiently: "There is still a bucket in the kitchen above, you go quickly, don't stay in front of me, it's annoying to look at you." The last sentence was muttered, but Liu Qi was enough to hear it.

Liu Qi stood up, picked up another bucket and walked out, when passing by Shangguan Xirou's side, Liu Qi didn't dare to look at him at all, and ran over with his head down. In front of the kitchen, Liu Qi poured the remaining water into the water tank, at this time, the water tank was full, Liu Qi put the bucket next to it, and saw an axe next to the water tank, but Liu Qi did not pick it up immediately, Liu Qi ran to the kitchen, took four steamed buns, and then walked towards the back mountain.

At this time, Shangguan Hongyuan was in Zishushu's room, sitting on the chair in front of the bed, looking at Zishushu's room, the small room was full of bookshelves, and the bookshelves were full of books, even the bed and the bottom of the bed were full of books. Zishushu was honestly standing by Shangguan Hongyuan's side at this time, not knowing why his master came here.

Shangguan Hongyuan took a sip of tea and said, "There are a lot of books in your house, it seems that the room is a little small." ”

Zishushu was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked happily: "Master, do you want to change the house for me?" ”

Shangguan Hongyuan laughed and said, "Huh? It depends on your performance, if you are not surpassed by the sixth child within five years, I will change you to a big room, and after five years, as long as you are not surpassed by him for one year, I will give you a hundred new books every year, how about it? ”

Zishushu was about to hug Shangguan Hongyuan and start kissing, but Shangguan Hongyuan changed his words and said: "However, if you are surpassed by the sixth child within five years, I will burn all your books, if you are surpassed by him after five years, I will still change your room, but you can only watch for three hours a day, and you have to practice with peace of mind the rest of the time." ”

Zishushu looked at Shangguan Hongyuan in a daze, totaling Shangguan Hongyuan's words, it would be good if he was not surpassed within five years, as for the sixth year, although he would not send books, he would have a house and allow himself to read books, so it was appropriate to think about it.

"Okay, master, I promise you, if I am surpassed by Xiao Liu'er within five years, I will burn the book myself, but if I am surpassed in the sixth year, you must keep your promise, change my room, and allow me to read for three hours a day." Zishushu nodded and agreed, but he was still afraid that Shangguan Hongyuan would not fulfill his promise, so he did not forget to instruct.

Shangguan Hongyuan got up and stood up, walked out, with a smile on his face, and said, "Don't worry, when did the master promise you not fulfill it?" Work hard. ”

The mountain behind the "Longshou Peak", in the dense woods, the scorching sun can't shine in, Liu Qi looked at the thick tree trunk, and was a little dizzy for a while, such a big tree, it would be fast to cut down two trees a day, and let it cut ten trees back. Liu Qi wondered if Shangguan Hongyuan was wrong, Liu Qi didn't do it immediately, just leaned against the trunk and sat down.

Liu Qi felt very aggrieved at this time, Liu Qi didn't know where he offended Shangguan Xirou, he didn't know why Shangguan Xirou always treated him like this, why he always looked at him with disgust. The aggrieved Liu Qi, for a while, a mist flashed in Liu Qi's eyes, but the tears never fell.

Liu Qi was silent for a long time, wiped away the tears that had not been shed, and then stood up. Liu Qi looked at the thick tree trunk behind him, and picked up the axe on his waist, the huge axe Liu Qi had a hard time picking up, Liu Qi felt that his body was shaking badly, and he might be dragged to the ground by the axe at any time.
