After returning to the tomb, the dragon placed Grandma Sun's body in the sarcophagus.

Yang Guo lay beside the sarcophagus and cried bitterly, begging: "Brother Long, let me take a few more looks at my mother-in-law, I beg you, Brother Long, let me look at my mother-in-law a few more times." "Stop the dragon from closing the sarcophagus.

The dragon half-covered the lid of the coffin and said to Yang: "If you want to cry, cry, tell me when you can't cry, and then I will seal the sarcophagus, and my mother-in-law will rest in peace after all." Walked to the side and sat down and looked at Yang Guo quietly.

Yang Guo cried again at Grandma Sun, and only after about half an hour did he collect his voice.

The dragon walked up to Yang Guo's side and asked, "Don't you cry, do you?" ”

Yang Guo raised his head, he wanted to say that he was going to cry, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed again, shook his head, and choked up: "Brother Long, you can cover the sarcophagus, I, I won't cry today." ”

The dragon nodded, there was still no expression on his face, it was still cold, and with a slight push of his palm, the heavy coffin lid and the coffin could no longer be opened.

Yang Guo reluctantly looked at the closed sarcophagus, remembering Grandma Sun's kindness to him, and tears fell again. The dragon still watched from the sidelines, not saying a word, his face was frosty, and he did not feel the slightest sense of grief.

Yang Guo's mood calmed down again and collected his tears, feeling that his words were not words, he had just said that he would not cry and cry again in a blink of an eye, his face was red, and he immediately thought that when someone died, it was normal for relatives to cry in pain, holding the sarcophagus and crying again, and so on and so forth, crying for a while, resting for a while, and making trouble for most of the night.

Long saw that Yang was too tired, and persuaded: "Guo'er, my mother-in-law is going to sleep too, don't disturb her, go to sleep too, I will teach you kung fu from tomorrow." ”

Yang Guo heard that he could learn kung fu, and his heart was full of joy, and before he could smile, sadness hit his heart again, but his tears dried up, and there was nothing in his eyes, and he said in a dumb voice: "Brother Long, I want to keep a wake for my mother-in-law, and I won't sleep." ”

Long Dao: "Okay, if you want to keep it, I talked a lot in Chongyang Palace today, and I am a little thirsty, so I will go to the stone room next to me to drink water first." Leaving Yang Guo alone in the tomb and walking out.

Yang Guo was stunned when he heard Long say this, and thought: "This person is really ruthless and unjust, Grandma Sun has taken care of him for many years, he doesn't cry if he doesn't feel sad, he still wants to drink water to quench his thirst, it's not a thing." I suddenly felt desolate in my heart, thinking that Grandma Sun had fed the white-eyed wolf with a good heart, and it was not worth it for her. Yang Guo knelt in front of Grandma Sun's coffin, learning the practices of funeral people he had seen before, and chattering in his mouth.

I don't know how long later, the dragon returned to the tomb again, and found that Yang Guo had fallen asleep leaning on the sarcophagus due to fatigue. He walked to Yang Guo's side and watched Yang Guo's face carefully through the faint candlelight. Yang Guo is about thirteen or fourteen years old this year, he is still a teenager, his eyebrows are clear and his eyes are beautiful, perhaps he has suffered many hardships, his cheeks are a little thin but the lines are clear, very handsome, and he has a sense of maturity beyond that of teenagers of the same age. He is asleep now, safe and steady, not as noisy or fierce as in the daytime, revealing the unique beauty and warmth of Jiangnan people.

In my previous life, I often heard people say that "when I see Yang Guo, I will miss my life", Long Xiang, Yang Guo has such a look and a unique fiery temperament, chic and frank personality, which can make the little girl in the whole book fall in love with him. Yang Guo in the book is like a fire, wherever he goes, where he burns, where he goes, where he goes, a few jokes inadvertently can make the girls smile, if it weren't for the peerless beauty of Xiaolongnu, who can overwhelm the crowd, I really don't know if it is allowed to develop, Yang Guo will be in love with which one. However, none of this has anything to do with him, here, he and Yang Guo will only be masters and apprentices, and they will never become a couple or even a husband and wife.

Putting some thoughts behind, the dragon stretched out his hand and touched Yang Guo's forehead to wake people up, the ancient tomb was cold, Yang Guo had no internal strength to support, and he would get sick if he slept like this.

Yang Guo opened his eyes in a daze, and at first glance, a white cloud appeared in front of him and thought he had encountered a ghost, and shouted "wow", "There are ghosts, ghosts", leaned back, and fell to the ground.

The dragon reached out and pulled Yang Guo up, patted the dust on his body, and asked, "Did it hurt to fall?" It was obviously a word of concern, but I couldn't hear the taste of concern at all, cold, and straightforward.

Yang Guo shook his head, then lowered his head to look at the ground. Yang Guo was taken aback by the dragon and was unhappy, however, he didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of the dragon, for fear that one would accidentally expose his mind and annoy the dragon and lose the shelter he had so hard to get.

In Yang Guo's eyes, Long is an extremely special person who can be called weird. The dragon has the best looks, anyone who sees it likes it, and at the same time, the dragon also has the coldest temperament, and anyone who comes into contact with it is afraid. Although Granny Sun repeatedly explained to Yang Guo that the dragon was so cold because he had to suppress his temperament because of his cultivation of internal strength, Yang Guo, as a child who had never seen the world and did not understand the mysteries of Xuangong, still couldn't help but be afraid in front of the dragon.

In the Chongyang Palace, Yang Guo saw the profundity of the dragon's martial arts. After Grandma Sun's death, Yang Guo saw the dragon's indifference and ruthlessness. Therefore, Yang Guo didn't know how to get along with Long, whether he believed what Granny Sun said, Long was a cold-faced and kind-hearted person, or believed what he saw, Long was purely an iceman who didn't know joy, anger, sorrow, and no emotion.

Long Nan knew what Yang Guo was thinking, seeing him cowering, thinking that he was shocked, he stretched out his hand and stroked Yang Guo's head and said, "It's me who is not good, I scared you." ”

Yang Guo's heart tightened the moment the dragon touched him, thinking that he was going to be beaten, and said in his heart: "Just fight, let's fight, anyway, I'm used to it, and it won't be more sad than in Chongyang Palace." However, immediately after, Yang Guo heard Long apologize to himself, and he only felt incredible, a feeling that he had never felt before came out of his heart and bones. He jerked his head up at the dragon, wondering if he had heard him wrong.

Long didn't understand why Yang Guo's expression suddenly became serious, staring at himself motionless, thinking that he didn't hear his words clearly, and repeated: "Guo'er, I was not good just now, I scared you, don't be afraid." ”

Yang Guo heard that Long apologized to him again, and for the first time in his life, he felt that he was respected and looked down upon, not an inferior person who was beaten and scolded and trampled on, and his heart was sour.

He remembered that after his mother's death, he went to Jiaxing alone, reduced to a beggar, lonely, and despised;

He remembered that he was connected to Peach Blossom Island by mistake, and Huang Rong was too critical of herself and didn't have a good face;

He remembered Guo Fu's arrogance to him as a parent;

He remembered how Xiao Wu punched and kicked himself in order to please Guo Fu;

He remembered how Zhao Zhijing scolded himself for being a "little mongrel" in Chongyang Palace, and how other little Taoist priests excluded him.

••••••

Yang Guo couldn't hold back any longer, pounced on the dragon's body, hugged the dragon and whimpered, and called out one after another: "Brother Long." "Extremely aggrieved.

Once there is an outlet for feelings, the release must be like turning the river and the sea. Yang Guo was born to be a casual and uninhibited person, laughing when he laughs, crying when he cries, and even more so. He hugged the dragon, and the more he cried, the more sad he became, and the more he cried, the more sad he became, until he howled.

Long was overwhelmed by Yang Guo's sudden emotional outburst, and slowly patted Yang Guo's back to comfort him, and asked, "Guo'er, did you hit it just now, where did it hurt?" ”

Yang Guo said intermittently: "No, it doesn't hurt." He replied only one sentence, and once again lay on the dragon's shoulder and cried.

The dragon had no choice but to indulge Yang Guo and wait for him to calm down.

Yang Guo wiped his tears and snot, and said to Long: "Brother Long, I'm sorry, I stained your clothes." "I regret that I was dissatisfied with the dragon in my heart before.

Long Dao: "It's okay, the clothes are dirty, just wash them, it's no big deal." Grabbing his sleeve to wipe Yang Guo's face, he asked, "Guo'er, what's wrong with you?" Why is it so sad all of a sudden? Do you miss Granny Sun again? ”

Yang Guo said truthfully: "No, Brother Long, it is the first time that I have been treated as a person, and my heart is bitter and happy", and told Long why he cried bitterly.

Long listened to Yang Guo's explanation, thought about Yang Guo's experience in the book, and felt that he was pitiful, he had to go through many hardships at a young age, and comforted: "Okay, pass, don't be sad, you and I will depend on each other in the future, I will teach you kung fu well, you learn kung fu well, and when you become a hero and become famous, no one will dare to look down on you anymore, okay?" In the book, Yang Guo became a Condor hero, chivalrous and righteous in the rivers and lakes, repelled the Mongolian invaders, rescued the danger of Xiangyang, and was famous, ranking one of the five uniques, no one did not respect and admire, this is his fate.

Yang said: "Okay, I will definitely listen to Brother Long's words in the future, learn kung fu hard, and let everyone look at it." "Raise your head and chest, and be proud.

Long Dao: "Okay, in that case, the future hero can't cry at every turn, and he will be laughed at." He took Yang Guo's hand and said, "Come on, it's late at night, I've prepared a room for you, first sleep well and recuperate, and then officially learn kung fu tomorrow." "Take Yang Guo out of the tomb.

Yang Guo grabbed the dragon's palm and followed closely.

The tomb is dark, the passage is tortuous, it is difficult to discern the direction, the ground is pitted, stepping on a foot deep, a shallow foot, there are puddles in the damp places, the sound of water is ticking, there is an echo when you walk by, as if someone is following behind.

Yang Guo thought that this was a big tomb, and Grandma Sun had only died for a short time, and he didn't know if the soul had left, and whether it would become a ghost to come to him, and he was afraid, however, he had just put down his arrogant words in front of the dragon, and he wanted to be a hero, and he was embarrassed to cry. He didn't want the dragon to look down on him, he didn't want to behave weak and timid in front of the dragon, so he followed the dragon head-on, pretending to be calm and talking to the dragon.

Yang Guo asked, "Brother Long, the road is so dark, how can you see it?" ”

Long Dao: "I grew up here, and my eyes have long been accustomed to the darkness, and it is the same for me whether there is light or not. Don't worry, after a few days, your eyes will get used to it, and you will be so comfortable, by the way, I have to remind you, there are many organs in the ancient tomb, you must not walk around by yourself, if you trap yourself somewhere, and I can't find you, you will only have a dead end. ”

Yang Guo promised: "Got it, Brother Long." I obediently listen to you, I will go wherever you tell me to go, and I will not run around. Then he asked: "Brother Long, Granny Sun taught me to recognize the way and the mechanism before, isn't my mother-in-law teaching me wrong?" Long is usually silent, he doesn't take the initiative to provoke topics, he only knows what to ask and what to answer, so Yang Guo has to talk to him as much as possible.

Because of the respect and equal treatment given to him by the dragon, Yang Guo has changed his opinion of the dragon. He was overjoyed to think that a wild child who was loved and loved by no one and was despised and bullied everywhere could be a fairy-like and good-looking person as a master, live with him, and get his care, and felt that he was much luckier than those ordinary people outside, and a sense of pride arose. Yang Guo wanted to be closer to the dragon, felt that the dragon's cold voice was very good, and wanted to listen to it more.

Long Dao: "It's not wrong, but it's incomplete, my mother-in-law is not a descendant of the Tomb Sect, and the organs she knows are just scratching the surface, and there are many things she doesn't know, so I'll teach you slowly." ”

Yang said: "Brother Long, you are so good, I must study hard." Boldly holding the dragon's arm, he got closer to this "fairy".

The dragon couldn't detect Yang Guo's thoughts, settled Yang Guo, and after seeing that he was asleep, he returned to the tomb again and walked to Granny Sun's sarcophagus.
