City in the Sky - Li Xiaobai, Senior Xiaowen

After a long time, Li Xiaobai finally climbed all the stone steps, only to see him sitting on the ground panting and saying: "The stone steps of your house have a fight with that Allure Road!" ”

"Almost, let's rest for a while." Senior Wen sat on the stone steps and stared at the scenery below.

"You're quite exercising when you go home this time!" Li Xiaobai raised his head and looked up at the quiet night sky, the clearly visible starry Milky Way, and the giant moon that was picked casually, which made people feel that this beautiful scenery was a little unreal.

"If I didn't want to get some experimental materials, I wouldn't want to go back here." Xiao Wen said with a slightly lonely expression.

"Isn't it good to have a home? An orphan like me, I don't want to see my parents. I saw that Li Xiaobai smiled and patted Xiaowen on the shoulder.

"If you want to say that, I seem to be a little bit better than you, at least, I still have a father." Xiao Wen took a deep breath and replied.

"Alright, we're almost done, let's go in?" Li Xiaobai stood up and moved the joints of his body.

"Okay, wait for me." Xiao Wen stood up and looked at the towering city gate and said.

Li Xiaobai looked at the gate of the ancient castle and said with a puzzled expression: "How do you open the door?" ”

I saw that Xiao Wen shouted loudly in the direction of the ancient castle: "Open the door for the master!" ”

Li Xiaobai: "......"

So retro,

Passing the word by roaring?

……

After a while, the gate of the castle slowly opened, and I saw a gatekeeper in a red coat, holding an oil lamp, slowly walking out of the gate and whispering coldly to Xiao Wen: "Password." ”

"Eternal Night." Xiao Wen replied with a frown.

"Well, you go in." I saw that the night watchman let him go sideways, closed his eyes and said.

Xiao Wen walked forward, only to see that Li Xiaobai was just about to walk into the gate, when the night watchman suddenly opened his eyes and said indifferently: "Outsiders can't enter the Wen family's castle." ”

"He's my friend." Xiao Wen turned to the night watchman and said coldly.

"Young master, this is the rule." The night watchman said coldly.

"I repeat, he's my friend!" Xiao Wen walked up to the night watchman, clenched his fists and said coldly.

"Young master, this is the rule." The Night's Watch replied in a cold voice again.

"Forget it, I'll wait for you outside, just grab it." Li Xiaobai walked up to Xiao Wen, patted his shoulder, and said.

"I'm sorry." Xiao Wen said apologetically.

"It's okay, big family, there are many rules, I understand." Li Xiaobai waved his hand and sat back on the stone steps.

I saw that Xiao Wen let go of his fists and walked into the castle with an indifferent face, the night watchman glanced at Li Xiaobai, and then closed the gate of the castle.

"The four major families, one is tougher than the other!" Li Xiaobai looked up at the night sky and sighed.

……

After a night, Li Xiaobai was awakened by the warm sunshine, he slowly opened his eyes, listened to the noisy shouts in the distance, and hurriedly put away the quilt on his body.

When he stood up and looked at the noisy shouting, he was stunned by the scene before him.

I saw countless people from the Wen family, standing at the bottom of the stone steps, staring at countless children running back and forth on the rickety single-plank bridge.

Many children fell into the abyss because they did not stand firm, but the onlookers looked indifferent and did not stretch out their hands to save the children who fell into the abyss.

"Damn, it turns out that what Xiao Wen said is true?" Li Xiaobai said with a confused face.

What is strange is that the children who fell into the abyss did not fall to their deaths, but saw the children who fell into the abyss climbing up one after another

off the cliffs.

But after climbing the cliff, the children ran back and forth between the single-plank bridges again.

"Isn't it, a bit of child abuse?" At this time, Xiao Wen suddenly appeared beside Li Xiaobai and asked.

"Why can't you fall to death?" Li Xiaobai asked after being silent for two seconds.

Xiao Wen glared at Li Xiaobai and said, "Nonsense, the purpose is to exercise, not to kill." ”

"Oooh, have you run out of what you need?" Li Xiaobai nodded and asked.

"Hey, it's hard to put into words! There are too many things for me to take! Xiao Wen squatted on the ground with a melancholy expression.

"Then you can take it out one by one, and I'll put it away for you." Li Xiaobai took out a loaf of bread and ate it silently.

"That's the only way, you wait for me to move slowly." Xiao Wen nodded, and then walked into the castle again.

Li Xiaobai sat on the stone steps and looked at the Wen family's training method, silent for a long time without making a sound.

"You're a friend of Little Wen?" At this time, an old voice appeared behind Li Xiaobai.

Li Xiaobai hurriedly stood up and found an old man with white hair standing behind him, although his eyes were bright, but his rickety body had to hold on to the dragon's head crutches.

"Who are you?" Li Xiaobai scratched his head and asked.

"Just sit down." I saw an old man with white hair slowly sitting on the stone steps.

Li Xiaobai also sat on the stone steps with a puzzled face, and found that the old man was silently watching the training below, Li Xiaobai handed over the bread in his hand and asked, "Old man, do you want to eat something?" ”

"Okay, stay and stay." The old man took the bread and ate it slowly.

Li Xiaobai took out another loaf of bread and gnawed it silently.

I saw that the white-haired old man was slightly stunned, looked sideways at Li Xiaobai and asked curiously, "Spatial ability?" ”

"Sort of." Li Xiaobai continued to nibble on the sweet bread and replied.

"Tell me how you met Xiao Wen." The old man continued to break the bread and said slowly.

"That's a long story, and it starts with me messing with the Wang family......" Li Xiaobai said as he nibbled on bread.

And the gray-haired old man nodded from time to time, without interrupting Li Xiaobai's story at all.

It's just that what Li Xiaobai didn't know was that just as he was telling what was going on, there was a row of red-clothed night watchmen standing quietly behind him.

……

After a long time, Li Xiaobai finally finished speaking, took out a bottle of water and handed it to the old man, "That's probably how it happened." ”

The old man took the water bottle with a smile, took a sip silently and said, "It seems that your life is not easy!" ”

Li Xiaobai took out a bottle of water, poured it violently and said: "Hey, as the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, difficult in the middle, and even more difficult in the end." ”

"Haha, you're a little interesting!" The old man touched his pale beard and laughed.

"It's not easy for people, time is also fate, luck has to be occupied, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck. There are those who are rich first and then poor, and there are those who are poor and then rich. When the gentleman loses time, he surrenders to the villain. When the sky is not, the sun and the moon are not bright, the earth is not, the grass and trees are not long, the water is not good, the wind and waves are uneven, and the people are not good, and the good luck is not passable! Li Xiaobai slowly narrated.

The old man was slightly stunned and surprised: "Which book is this from?" ”

"The ancient Chinese book "Fortune Fu"" Li Xiaobai muttered.

I saw that the old man stared at Li Xiaobai for a long time with sparkling eyes, and said slowly: "Huaxia, you also know? ”

"How can a man forget his roots?" Li Xiaobai shook his head slightly, no longer in the deep topic.

see

Seeing that Li Xiaobai didn't have the idea of chatting deeply, the old man held the dragon's head crutches in both hands and said slowly: "Xiaoyou, lend me the book of "Fortune Fu" to take a look. ”

"Don't borrow!" Li Xiaobai was silent for two seconds, silently staring at the training below and replied.

I saw that the red-clothed night watchmen behind him were about to make a move, and the old man coughed, and the red-clothed night watchmen behind him stood up again, and the old man slowly asked, "Why?" ”

"Your Wen family didn't invite me to stay overnight, because I live on a cliff, and I'm afraid that I will fall down in the middle of the night." Li Xiaobai complained faintly.

"Haha, that's the rule." I saw that the old man touched his white beard and laughed

"The rules are set by people, and they are broken by people." Li Xiaobai took out a cigarette, thought about it and handed it to the old man, and continued to ask, "Old man, do you smoke?" ”

The old man was slightly stunned, took the cigarette and muttered, "I haven't smoked for a long time." ”

"Then get one, I'll get you some." Li Xiaobai took out a lighter and lit a cigarette for the old man, and after lighting the cigarette himself, he took a deep puff.

"As the saying goes, smoking a cigarette relieves your heart."

I saw Li Xiaobai and the old man smoking cigarettes, looking at the cruel training of the Wen family children below.

"How do you feel, how is this training?" The old man took a deep puff of his cigarette and asked.

"There are pros and cons." Li Xiaobai replied with smoke in his mouth.

"How?" The old man asked curiously.

"The good thing is that the children of the Wen family mature early, and the cruelty of life is realized in advance. The disadvantage is that there is a shadow in the heart, and without childhood, it is easy to become a madman. Li Xiaobai was silent for two seconds and said slowly.

The old man was slightly stunned, and continued to ask, "Wouldn't it be a madman?" ”

"This is your Wen family's own business, I can't talk about it from outsiders, anyway, it's much better than the Kong family. There was a guy named Kong Fei in my school, and that was a female madman. Li Xiaobai replied in silence for two seconds.

"That's the perception of the weak." The old man was silent for a long time, extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand, and then touched the faucet crutch and said slowly.

"I admit that Kong Fei is strong, but she has no friends! The tigers can't stand the wolves! Li Xiaobai also extinguished the cigarette butt and replied.

"Xiaoyou, you can see it very thoroughly!" The old man looked at the end of the training below and said slowly.

"Ahem, just read more." Li Xiaobai replied with a cough.

I saw that the Wen family members who had finished training below walked up collectively, and when they saw Li Xiaobai and the old man, everyone in the Wen family shouted: "Old patriarch." ”

"Well, let's go back." The old man nodded slightly, looked sideways at Li Xiaobai, who had a calm face, and said curiously: "Aren't you surprised?" ”

"What's so surprising, this is your Wen family's place, how can there be outsiders except me. Even if you're not a patriarch, you're at least an administrator or an elder or something. Li Xiaobai touched his nose and replied.

"Then guess what I'm talking to?" The old man asked with a smile and touched his beard.

"It should be the first time Senior Wen has brought outsiders back, you are more curious." Li Xiaobai stretched out his arm and replied.

"I'm curious about what it's like to be able to stay out for the night without getting angry." The old man stroked his beard and said slowly.

"Li Xiaobai! I brought something here, why are there so many night watchmen? At this time, Senior Wen's voice sounded from behind.

Li Xiaobai hurriedly turned around and found a neat row of red-clothed night watchmen standing behind the two of them.

I saw that the old man stood up with a smile: "Little friend, enter the house for a while?" ”

Li Xiaobai was silent for two seconds and said: "Don't borrow books!" ”

Old man: "......"
