CHAPTER IX
Grandma Liu asked, "I haven't seen that kid for many years, how long will it take to come back?" ”
"Maybe soon. Just wait for your brother to come back. The senior brother chuckled like this, skillfully entered Grandma Liu's house, carried a basket out, and handed me another one, "Maybe I'll be back in a while." ”
"What's so good about the rivers and lakes, it's a serious matter to ask a daughter-in-law to become a biological two big fat boys, and I'm outside all day long." Grandma Liu babbled in pieces, "It's been so many years, so come back and take a look." ”
"He has his own ideas."
The senior brother carried a basket on my back, loaded me with a woodcutter, and said, "When the senior brother comes back, you have to talk about him, why haven't you come home for so long?" Not sensible at all. ”
Grandma Liu looked at me again and asked, "Little girl, what's your name?" ”
"Her name is Su Yan, and Grandma just calls her Yan'er."
"Your sect, you always bring some children back, you too, your senior brother too."
There was a smile on the senior brother's face.
When my senior brother and I left, I also watched the corners of his mouth crook and waved to Grandma Liu. It's just that when he turned around, his eyes were a lot lonely. I knew he was thinking about Senior Brother Xu.
Obviously, he knew that Senior Brother Xu might never come back here again, but he still lied to Grandma Liu, saying that Senior Brother Xu might come back, saying that Senior Brother Xu was just going to be busy.
He knew very well in his heart that no matter the reason, it was a fact that Senior Brother Xu betrayed his master. I don't know if he was saying these words to himself or to Grandma Liu.
"Senior brother!" I called him, and my brother was two or three steps ahead of me, and I waited for him to stop and turn his head to look at me. I said, "If you want to know why, just ask him!" Go find him, and when you find him, ask him to understand, okay? ”
At that time, I was not very old, and I just thought: if there is anything, just ask. If you want to know the reason, go to him, and when you find him, everything will be fine. It's really simple to look at things.
Looking back now, I feel sad when I look back at what I said. Isn't Master just looking for Senior Brother Xu all the time? Isn't that reason always looking for Senior Brother? I also slowly understood that there are some things that cannot be told.
Maybe Senior Brother felt sad that Senior Brother Xu didn't choose to tell himself the reason.
My brother walked into me, touched my head with his hand and said, "Yes, just find him and ask him to understand." ”
The tone that I didn't understand back then can be understood now. If you can find him, you can ask clearly, if Senior Brother Xu is willing to tell them the truth, then why would he leave without saying anything?
The senior brother said this very weakly.
I didn't continue, I just walked up to him and followed him again. Walking slowly from Tiankan to the woods, I watched the trees become denser and denser, and I also watched the trees that began to turn yellow gradually drift down.
It's been sunny lately, and the branches are relatively dry, so it's just right to cut some branches and pick up some leaves. The Sword Sect is in the Bashu region, so if you can prepare the firewood as soon as possible, you can prepare it early, and when it is late autumn and winter, it will all be rainy, and the firewood will become wet and you will not be able to use it.
The senior brother put down the back basket and took out the woodcutter, and I also put down the back basket and took out the woodcutter. The senior brother was just stunned for a moment, and then said, "Forget it." Take the woodcutter from my hand, "Go and pick up the branches and leaves on the ground." I'll just chop wood by myself. ”
"How's that going to work? Do you have enough firewood to chop alone? ”
"That's enough, just come again when it's cold. And it always needs small leaves and twigs to start the fire. ”
The senior brother put the woodcutter on the ground, frowned again, and said, "The woods are very big, don't run around, just know nearby, otherwise I won't be able to find you then." ”
I was looking for twigs and leaves in this small area, and my brother was cutting them not far away. The sound of "knock knock" and "knock knock" echoed in the woods, and it seemed to startle the birds.
When he had finished cutting the tree, I tied the branches with a rope and put them in the basket. The branches are not light, but in my basket are light twigs and twigs, and a woodcutter.
It didn't take long for the basket to fill up, and my brother lifted my basket with both hands and helped me lift it. I stood until he had picked up his basket and said, "Let's go." ”
I really want to ask: Does Senior Brother like Senior Brother Xu very much? What kind of person is Senior Brother Xu? Why does Grandma Liu like Senior Brother Xu so much? In the end, I just read it silently in my heart, and I didn't say it.
However, Senior Brother Xu, who has always felt that he can be liked by both Senior Brother and Grandma Liu, must be a good person. It was, and I feel that way, too.
The sun in the sky is still shining, but there is no longer the irritability of the scorching sun, and the wind in the sun has a warm breath. The senior brother smiled and asked me, "Do you regret coming out?" If you don't come out, you just need to read a book for a while. ”
"No, next time my brother comes out to see Grandma, I'll also bring me."
"Okay."
There were beads of sweat on my brother's forehead. I followed him to Grandma Liu's house with a shaking. Grandma Liu was overjoyed, and her mouth read, "It's hard work, it's hard work." "I was about to come over to pick up my back basket, but my brother hurriedly stopped her, took my back basket himself, and put the firewood into the kitchen.
Grandma Liu asked, "Will you stay for a meal?" Thank you for your hard work today. ”
I looked at my senior brother, and the senior brother agreed, "Then I can't ask for it, although the things in the sect don't charge money, they do it very ordinary." So what are you going to eat today? ”
"Is it good to make eggplant?"
My brother turned to look at me and said, "You have taken it orally, the eggplant made by Grandma is the best." Yan'er said thank you to Grandma. I hurriedly thanked Grandma Liu, and Grandma Liu waved her hand, "Hey, so polite." He smiled and walked into the kitchen.
Grandma Liu's youngest grandson also wanted to follow into the kitchen, but before she could go in, she was kicked out by Grandma, "Go, go, play with Brother Yan'er and Sister Hanfeng, and burn you for a while." ”
The little snot baby looked at me and then at my brother, ran over and hugged my brother's waist, and hid behind my brother to look at me. My brother took me to sit down, and the little snot baby sat beside us, sitting and not talking. At last I couldn't help but laugh, and the little snot baby laughed along.
The little snot baby is called Wang Lin, and the nickname is Erwa. After chatting for a while, he called me "Sister Yan'er" and called him "Brother Hanfeng", and he stuck to us to tell him about the things in the sect.
Senior brother spoke slowly, and I listened to it from the side. The sun's light dimmed with the passage of time, and the smell of food wafting slowly from the kitchen filled the room.
