Chapter 009: The Truth
Deep in the woods, kingfishers cried.
Xie Yingjian stood outside the bamboo house and shouted "Shaotang" loudly, but no one answered, and when he called for the second time, someone behind him suddenly patted his shoulder.
He was startled and wanted to run, but Ran Shaotang hurriedly grabbed the burden he was carrying on his shoulder, took advantage of the situation and dragged it down, and carried it on his shoulder.
Xie Yingjian looked back and saw Ran Shaotang holding a sage in his mouth, smiling at himself, and the pear vortex on his left cheek was beautiful. He breathed a sigh of relief.
"Did you ask your master to arrange for you to live here?" He asked with concern.
"yes. Senior brother sent me up. Shaotang indifferently picked up the small pebbles under his feet and threw them into the depths of the bamboo forest, which immediately startled a group of birds.
"Last night, I said that I would live in a small courtyard in Kunyuan, but today I changed my hexagram and stuffed it here for me."
Xie Yingfeng ran in and walked around, the three main rooms were empty, only a bamboo bed and a desk were placed in the bedroom, which was extremely simple.
If it rains, it may become a water curtain hole.
"Can there be people here?"
"Clean up, this is the Royal Annex." Ran Shaotang didn't care. Although the conditions are a little rudimentary, they are very quiet and undisturbed.
Xie Yingjian looked sad: "How to clean up?" ”
"You'll know when my suitcase arrives at Jingshan." She smiled mysteriously, the cage was full of treasures.
Xie Yingfeng sat on the steps worriedly and sighed: "Master Uncle must not like you." ”
A word wakes up the dreamer. Ran Shaotang only cared about getting familiar with the surrounding environment just now, but forgot the most important thing. She spit out the sage with a "poof" and frowned and asked Xie Yingyi: "Senior Brother Xie, have you seen my aunt in Kyoto...... Idea? ”
"Thoughts? What's the idea? What nonsense are you talking about? Xie stood up with ease. He is two years older than Ran Shaotang and is already a head taller than her. In addition, standing on the steps, looking at her condescendingly, there was panic in his eyes.
He had never seen what his mother looked like since he was a child, and when he first met the fifth uncle, it was the first time he met such a gentle and elegant female elder, and he had a feeling of wanting to be close at that time.
He especially wanted to be like Shaotang, and he could call her a mother. It's a pity that she is not her child.
Xie Yingfeng thought that his mind was seen through by Shaotang, and he hurriedly explained: "I only have respect for the fifth uncle. ”
Shaotang knew that he had misunderstood, and secretly laughed at his question for asking too roundabout, and hurriedly nodded again: "Senior brother, I mean, when you see my aunt, don't you think she looks very similar to my master?" ”
Xie Yingfeng suddenly realized: "So you asked this?" Then he could have stepped down and answered.
The junior brother has already met the master, and there is no need for him to hide anything.
"The fifth uncle and the master uncle are twins, of course they look alike. However, I think the master is too fierce. It's not as good-looking as Uncle Wushi. ”
He said it lightly, but Shaotang listened to it like a thunderbolt.
She looked up suddenly, her eyes fierce and wanted to eat people.
"You know they're sisters, why didn't you tell me? What do you mean by hiding from me? ”
Xie Yingfeng didn't notice the vibration in Shaotang's heart, and scratched his head with a smile and said, "Master won't let me say it." ”
Shaotang knew that Xie Yingjian was a master, and when she heard such an answer, she couldn't find the motivation to lose her temper.
Her momentum fell, and she lowered her head and muttered, "Second Senior Uncle won't let you say it, you can keep it secret from me." But why do you keep emphasizing that my master, she is fierce? He also kept hinting that if I was bullied by Master, I could go to Uncle Shi and you. She's my aunt. ”
In fact, Master's attitude last night was quite like a close relative who was related by blood, and he was not fierce.
Xie Yingyi's eyes almost widened this time, and he looked at Ran Shaotang like a pitiful worm.
"Senior brother, the master uncle and the fifth uncle have a grudge, everyone knows it. If she is not fierce to you, will she still be good to you? Just look at where you live now? He pointed to the bamboo houses behind him, and his eyes were full of evidence in front of him.
"Hatred?" Ran Shaotang stared at Xie Yingjian with wide eyes, and a voice in his head was shouting from time to time, it's over. Finished.
She knew that her mother was cheating on her again.
Shaotang couldn't help but want to beat his chest.
No wonder Ah Mu has always refused to say much about the Medicine King Sect;
No wonder she never mentioned who she was going to learn from;
No wonder Grandma has always been tight-lipped about who her master is.
It turned out that the mother had long planned to give her to the enemy as a target.
The little gratitude that I had in my heart yesterday is gone now.
"Senior brother, do you know what enmity my grandmother has with my master? After all, they are sisters, and they won't have a hatred as deep as the sea, right? She was looking for one last bit of hope.
Xie Yingfeng shook his head: "I don't know this specific situation." Anyway, the master said that the fifth uncle and the master uncle had a deep knot. Let me never tell you. And forced me to swear. ”
"So although the two of them are twins, one surnamed Feng and the other surnamed Yu?" Shaotang asked, and his heart was unclear.
Xie Yingfeng felt that his junior brother didn't seem to be so stupid.
patted him on the head and thought about the past: "I heard the master say that it was because the master uncle did not allow the fifth uncle to be surnamed Feng. The fifth uncle changed his surname to Yu. ”
Oh!
Here's the answer.
A raging fire burned in Shaotang's chest.
She kind of got it.
The grandmother was afraid that after she knew the truth of the matter, she would not come to Jingshan alive or dead. So, just gang up to trick her.
Okay, then don't blame her Sun Wukong for making trouble in the Heavenly Palace and being lawless.
Thinking of this, she slowly forced herself to calm down, and after listing a few important matters in her head, she winked at Xie Yingjian: "Senior brother, how can I get out of the mountain?" ”
Xie Yingjian scratched his head: "Out of the mountain? Sect disciples cannot leave the mountain without the ancestor of the mountain. Unless ......"
"Unless what?" Shaotang knew that Xie Yingfeng, a sincere child, would definitely be able to give her an answer.
Xie Yingfeng hesitated.
Do you want to tell him that he can enter and leave the mountain casually with Master?
Master's mysterious mission doesn't seem to be a secret in the realm.
Shaotang was keenly aware of Xie Yingfeng's doubts, and decisively took out a purse from the package and stuffed it into Xie Yingfeng's arms.
At the moment when Xie Yingfeng was stunned, he stuffed a second one.
"Senior brother. What are you giving me all this for? Xie Yingyi's face flushed. It was useless for him to ask for silver. Besides, is the junior brother trying to buy him?
This kid is too stupid.
As long as he waits a little longer, he will tell him how to get out of the mountain.
Hey, the junior brother is really a loser.
In the second life, Shaotang's identity was very unfortunate, and he was an orphan in the last days.
In order to survive, she tried to stay alive by all means.
And in the last days, the best means of survival are money and skills.
She has become accustomed to solving all difficulties with money.
However, she seems to have forgotten that Xie Yingfeng likes to eat more than money.
"Senior brother, is the pineapple crisp delicious?" For the first time, she met someone who money couldn't buy.
However, in the last days she learned to bend and stretch. The truth of being too rigid and easy to break gave her a lesson in blood. Facing Xie Yingfeng, who doesn't like money, she changed her course and took out the only snacks left in her baggage.
"Remember that you love to eat, so I specially left it for you."
Xie Yingjian looked at the slightly deformed oil paper bag, thought about it, and took the pineapple cake with a generous smile: "My master can take you out of the mountain." ”
Shaotang also smiled, revealing a good-looking pear vortex: "Let's go, go to Uncle Shi." ”
A moment later, Shaotang took Xie Yingjian to cut through thorns on an untouched path.
This is a new path that Ran Shaotang explored after leaving with remorse.
Although it is not easy to walk, it can skillfully avoid Kunyuan and go down the mountain from the other direction, without knowing it.
