Chapter 31: Tell Your Mouth!
Eating without saying a word is an unwritten rule in ancient tombs.
Long and Yang sat facing each other, their posture upright, chewing silently.
The dragon asked, "Well, if you have something to say, why bother with it?" Putting down the chopsticks, the meal is finished.
Yang Guo blinked, put on a grin, and quickly grilled rice.
Long looked at Yang Guo, and his clear eyes clearly reflected Yang Guo's disguise of "being smart".
Yang Guo scratched his head and asked, "Brother Long, what do you think of today's breakfast?" β
Long Dao: "It's good, it's just a little salty, too much, it's not good to eat too much salt, so you should put less in the future." β
Yang Guo smiled: "Oh, I know, I know." He picked up the bowl again and stood in front of him, peeking at the dragon's reaction. It was Yang Guo's own initiative to open meat for the dragon, and he saw that the dragon's expression was no different from usual, but he was apprehensive, and began to think wildly, speculating about what the dragon meant.
Long noticed that Yang Guo suddenly wandered, thought about it and didn't say anything, and mixed a cup of bee syrup water to relieve the discomfort in his mouth. He was accustomed to eating bland food, and it was a little difficult for him to suddenly taste something strong.
After three cups of bee syrup water, Long Shi couldn't help but stretch out his finger and poke Yang Guo's cheek, reminding, "Come on, breakfast is going to be lunch." β
Considersβ’β’β’
The dragon frowned slightly, and said painfully: "Okay, talk about it." β
Yang Guo held the dragon's fingers in his mouth, gritted his white teeth, and made a "huh" and "huh" sound similar to a puppy protecting food, and said vaguely: "Well, don't let it go~", licked the dragon's fingertips with his tongue, and said scoundrelly: "Sweet, don't let go." β
The dragon pretended to be majestic and said coldly: "Come on! β
Yang Guo was so frightened by the dragon's eyes that his heart shook, and he instantly opened his mouth, sat upright, and looked at the dragon with his eyes and waited for training.
The dragon was expressionless, hung his fingers with pale pink tooth marks in front of Yang Guo, and asked, "Guo'er, what's going on?" β
Yang Guo smiled and said, "Brother Long, look, it's white, how good-looking." β
The dragon was silent.
Yang Guo sneered and explained: "Brother Long, I didn't bite you with all my heart, my mother often played with me like this when I was a child", and said while gesturing: "I grabbed it without paying attention, it really wasn't intentional, I swear!" He raised his palm.
The dragon didn't care in his heart, and when he heard him mention the past, he couldn't bear to blame, and returned to his appearance like snow and ice waiting for Yang Guo to eat.
Yang Guo knew that he had been let go, so he honestly finished eating the rest of the rice in the bowl, obediently cleaned up the table, washed the dishes and chopsticks, and then followed Long to the stone room to practice.
Long asked Yang Guo to demonstrate the "soft net potential", pointed out his shortcomings, explained them in detail, and then asked him to practice repeatedly to achieve perfection. An hour later, Yang Guo was lying on the ground in shape, sweating profusely. Around him, the sparrows who practiced with him were also too tired, and they gathered together in twos and threes, uncovered to dissipate heat, chirping, and pecking at the grains on the ground.
Yang Guo complained: "Brother Long, I practiced the soft net posture more than ten days ago, why do you still let me practice this, it's time to learn something new." β
Long Dao: "If you want to be fast, you can't rush forward, although your talent is good, but your temperament is impatient, if I don't pressure you to practice over and over again, the foundation of martial arts will definitely not be solid, even if you learn a new one in the future, it is useless, but it will accumulate more and more problems, one day, these sporadic mistakes and omissions will occur together, you will have to be full of loopholes, if you are in the enemy, after a while, you will only have a dead end, even if my light skills are fast, I can't save you." β
Yang Guo made a "carp fight", ran to the dragon's side, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'll be like this in the future" Firmly grasped the dragon's hand and continued: "Sticking to you all the time, if you meet a bad guy, let's fight together, if you can't beat it, we will run away together, and there is no need to rush back and forth to save people." β
Long Dao: "A good man is determined to go to the end of the world, how can he hold the master's hand every day." Pulling his hand out of Yang Guo's hand, he flung his sleeve robe to the side, hooked his palm to Yang Guo, and said, "Guo'er, it's time to practice palming." β
Yang Guo grabbed the empty palm, walked over, and put on a posture to dismantle the dragon, but thought in his heart: "Brother Long's face is cold and hot, if he goes out in the future, he will play a scoundrel by himself when the time comes, he must not bear to see himself floating alone in the rivers and lakes." As long as you give up your face, you don't believe that Brother Long will not follow. β
Yang Guo thought through it, and the unhappiness caused by the dragon pulling his hand away just now was gone. He made up his mind not to be separated from the dragon, his eyes became resolute and resolute, and he was more energetic in learning martial arts, and the power of one move and one style could not be compared to yesterday.
Long felt that Yang Guo had changed, although he didn't know why, but seeing that he was focused, he put his mind at ease, and only thought that Yang Guo listened to his teachings and had the heart to forge ahead.
Winter goes to spring, and the mountains are dyed green. After a few rains, the heat rises, and it is summer when the mountains are full of flowers and the forests are dyed.
On this day, Yang Guo practiced the golden bell rope in the wooden stake gossip array outside the tomb, and suddenly saw a hare running by, and his playful nature came out, wanting to try if he could catch the rabbit with the white silk golden bell in his hand, so he chased away.
However, the mountains and forests are dense, the hare is agile, can drill around, but Yang Guo is hindered by the branches and leaves of the trees, there is no kung fu can not be performed, can not catch the rabbit for a long time, the more chasing the more angry, have to compete with the hare, and run farther and farther, go around and around into a col.
The col is full of flowers, fragrant, and beautiful.
Yang Guo thought to himself: "This is a wonderful place to release bees. "Give up the hare that has disappeared without a trace, and return to the tomb to bring the dragon to admire.
Long Dao: "Are you greedy and lazy, do you think you can make up for it by finding a place to release bees?" β
Yang said: "No, no, Brother Long, I don't concentrate on practicing, you punish me, I admit it, but I really brought you here because I think it's beautiful here and want to share the beautiful scenery with you." As he spoke, he jumped behind a cluster of red flowers, and said to the dragon through the gaps in the branches and leaves: "Brother Long, you see, this flower grows so well, it is like a screen." β
Red flowers and green leaves, it is really wonderful, but the dragon has no intention of appreciating it, just because of this place...
Long Dao: "Come on, I don't like these gorgeous things, if you like it, come back to play when you are free, now go back with me and finish today's homework." Without waiting for Yang Guo to agree, he tapped the ground with his toes, stepped on the flowers and branches, and left.
Yang Guo didn't know why, chased after him, and shouted, "Brother Long, wait for me." "His skills are still shallow, and his light skills have not yet reached the fire, and when he meets the dragon again, the dragon has been waiting in front of the gossip stake for a long time.
Yang Guo panted, held on to the stake and said, "Brother Long, you are too fast, how can you run away, almost exhausting me." β
The dragon thought to himself, "Isn't that running away?" It's just that he couldn't say this to Yang Guo, and said coldly: "Guo'er, if you concentrate on practicing, you can catch up with me, and you won't be tired." β
Yang Guo was weak and asked, "Brother Long, are you angry?" "I thought that the dragon was angry and annoyed that he was slacking off in practice.
The dragon shook his head and suddenly said, "Okay, I'm hungry, let's go back to the tomb to eat." "Flew away again.
Yang Guo was really confused, and was surprised: "Why didn't Brother Long speak today, he just said that he wanted to complete his homework, and he went back to eat in a blink of an eye, is he in a bad mood?" He looked up at the sky, and it was not yet midday, and it was not yet time to eat.
Yang Guo scratched his head, thought about it, and couldn't understand why the dragon's unusual cause was caused, so he simply didn't want to think about it, and hurriedly ran back to cook for the dragon.
When passing by the thorn forest, Yang Guo caught a glimpse of a figure behind the thorn forest, went to check, only to see a bamboo basket on the ground, and laughed in his heart: "This Quanzhen Sect person is really persistent, his face is thick enough, and the things sent are thrown aside again and again, and he does not give up and sends them again and again, do you really think that these small favors can eliminate Grandma Sun's blood debt?" It's shameless. β
Yang Guo was extremely disgusted with the people and things in the Quanzhen Sect, but Long once confessed that if he saw someone sending something, he had to check whether there were any notes, letters and other things in it, so Yang Guo had to endure the nausea and lift the white cloth on the bamboo basket.
In the bamboo basket are some plump, watery, bright red peaches, uniform in size, and it can be seen that the giver has carefully selected them.
Yang Guo saw the fresh peach at first glance, his saliva was overflowing, and he said in his heart: "The advantage of the Quanzhen Sect is not to be taken advantage of", so he picked up a peach and checked it in his hand, and said disdainfully: "Forget it, I'm afraid I'll get mouth sores if I eat your things." Then he threw the peaches into it, reached out and picked it up in the basket, turned it upside down, and pulled out a red note from it.
Yang Guo was vigilant, and said in his heart: "Okay, you stinky Taoist, grandpa wants to see what bad thoughts you have written." I saw that the note read: "Young Master Long, a small meaning, not a tribute, I hope to smile." "The handwriting is average, and there is no signature.
Literally, this basket of fresh peaches was given to Long in his personal name, however, Yang Guo knew that Long did not have a relationship with any Taoist priest in the Quanzhen Sect. These days, the only Taoist priest who talks to the dragon is Zhen Zhibing, Yang Guo thought, is this Zhen Zhibing's thank you gift to thank Long for informing the Mongolian soldiers of the rebellion?
However, if it is a thank you gift, how can it be delayed until the summer, the timing is not right.
Yang Guo scratched his head, unable to read what the words on the note meant, giving a gift or apologizing? However, it doesn't matter, the dragon won't take the stinky Taoist's things anyway.
Yang Guo stuffed the note back, re-covered the white cloth, and hurriedly ran back, deciding not to tell Long about it.
In Yang Guo's heart, Long was the only person in the world who was good to him, and he didn't want any outsiders to take away Long's attention.
The dragon must be entirely his own.
After returning to the ancient tomb, Yang Guo found the dragon in the kitchen, and after casually explaining the reason for returning late, he washed his hands and cooked, while the dragon waited comfortably in a place where the smoke could not be touched, and he was dressed in white and dusty. Now, Yang Guo didn't even want to let Long do the thing of chopping vegetables, he took over all the dirty work and tiring work in the ancient tomb, and he did a very competent job as an apprentice, and he respected Long very much.
After the meal, the dragon stopped Yang Guo, who was going to practice outside, and said to him: "Guo'er, it's too hot outside, don't go yet, rest in the tomb with peace of mind." β
Yang Guo heard what Long said about his concern, and saw that Long's face was cold, he felt very interesting, and asked with a smile: "Brother Long, what's wrong with you today?" I thought you were angry with me? "I want to take the opportunity to ask about the unusual nature of the dragon.
The dragon sighed and reached out to stroke Yang Guo's forehead, which is what he didn't want to tell him.
Yang Guo said: "Brother Long, if you don't want to say it, I won't ask, just tell me if you are angry with me?" I promise to practice hard in the future. β
Long Dao: "Guo'er, you are so well-behaved, how can I be angry with you?" After thinking about it, he said, "There are some things that I still don't understand and can't tell you." β
Yang Guo replied casually: "Then can you tell me when you figure it out?" β
Long Dao: "Well, I'll tell you when I want to understand." β
Yang Guo said happily: "That's good." "Arm the dragon and go to the stone chamber to rest.
The dragon lay on the rope, looked sideways at Yang Guo who was sleeping, and said in an almost inaudible voice: "Fifteen years old." β
