Chapter 22: Reunion and Parting Again

Time flies so fast, three years have passed in a blink of an eye. The village slowly began to be lit up again. This is five days before the triennial Festival of Fire. At this time, Xiaoman was lying on the bed to recuperate. Immediately his parents and brother returned, and he didn't want them to worry, mainly because he felt ashamed. Xiao Tian was with him in bed, otherwise he would not have been able to lie down for a long time. Except that Xiao Tian is a little older than he just brought back, there has been no change at all in the past three years, and Xiao Man suspects that his body size is already so big, and it is not right to think about it. Even if his mother was young, his father was a wolf.

"Xiaotian, you eat so much every day, you don't grow at all? What a waste!"

Xiao Tian didn't bother to take care of him, just rolled his personal eyes at him. Seeing that Xiaotian ignored him, he suddenly felt bored, so he began to think about it again. It's been three years, has my brother grown taller and more handsome again, and has he changed? And Dad, Mother. My mother must still be so good-looking, but I don't know if my father's black face has become darker, and I fell asleep thinking about it.

The next day, Xiaoman's injuries were almost healed, except for some places where there was still a faint pain, but it was no big deal. After the class, he went to find the two fat people. He didn't wait at the head of the village stupidly like last time, he already knew who was coming, and the village chief would know it as soon as possible. This time the village chief did not inform him, and he knew that they would not be back today. When he found Erfat and them, the five of them were cultivating. It's just that there are only five of them who have cultivated their souls, and the others should be trained elsewhere. In the field, the second fat man was holding a stick, and the other four were blindfolded. The second fat took the stick and hit it casually, he didn't know who to hit himself, but the four of them could always dodge before the stick fell, and Xiao Man couldn't help but nod his head This method is good. The second fat stick swung faster and faster, and soon someone couldn't dodge. Yan Fei, Xiao Wu, and Xiao Shuai were all beaten, and only Yan Bin could dodge them all. Soon Xiaoshuai couldn't stand it anymore.

"Erfat, can you change someone to fight, it hurts me to death. ”

The second fat didn't speak at all, just cared about his crazy magic stick method.

After a while, he finally stopped. At this time, Yan Bin took off the strip of cloth, picked up the stick for the second fat, and blindfolded him, it turned out that they were supervising each other. Xiao Man stepped forward at this time.

"Stop. ”

As soon as they heard the sound, they untied the strips of cloth.

"Xiaoman, long time no see. ”

After saying that, he came up and gave him a hug. The little man in this hug grinned, they seemed to be on purpose, and the little man hurt five times.

"Xiaoman, have you finished fighting the other four villagers?"

"I'm done, didn't I come to you just after the fight. By the way, I found something. Yan Bin hits your flaming fist. ”

Yan Bin ran the exercises without asking when he heard this. Soon, the hands turned red.

"I'm later than you practice, look at me. ”

After saying that, he also played a combined flame fist, and flames rose from his hands. Yan Bin stared at it for a long time before asking

"Xiaoman, are you just here to laugh at me?"

"What do you want? I want to tell you that there is a technique called "Basic Boxing Method", you can usually practice more, and this boxing method seems to be able to be combined with other boxing methods to increase the power. ”

After seeing them, Xiao Man went home and lay down. It's rare to have such a leisurely time, this person loves to ponder when he is free, and Xiaoman is one of the models. He suddenly thought that with his injury, running the body refining method would not have any effect. If you don't say that if you don't die, you won't die, and he ran without thinking about the consequences. As a result, he fell directly from the bed with a cry in pain, his whole body trembled uncontrollably, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat. It felt like a handful of salt had been sprinkled on top of the original wound. It took a long time for that feeling to disappear, replaced by a warm wound all over his body that was still a little itchy, and his guess was correct, it just hurt too much.

Xiao Man got up, lay on the bed, honestly recuperated from his injuries, and had no other thoughts. At dinner, the village chief told him that his brother would be back tomorrow, and this was what made him so excited, that he didn't sleep well that night, and all he thought about was the scene of the reunion tomorrow. After coming out of the school the next day, he went straight to the entrance of the village, and he didn't even bother to eat lunch. Xiaotian went home and gave him something to eat. After waiting at the entrance of the village for about an hour, two figures walked slowly towards this side. Xiao Man immediately jumped up and rushed over.

"Ahh

People arrived first, and Xiao Man threw himself into Ah Man's arms full of excitement.

"Sizzle"

Xiao Man, who touched the injury, couldn't help but make a sound.

"Xiaoman, are you injured?"

"I'll tell you later, Uncle Ming is good. ”

"Xiaoman has grown a lot taller!"

"Hey, hey. ”

"Okay, you two talk first, I'll go home first. ”

With that, he strode away.

"Brother Aman, let me tell you, our village held a big competition, and I won the first place. Also, I also beat five villages and eighteen villages. ”

The little man was chattering, as if he had endless words. Aman was still laughing and groaning, but he was immediately stunned when he heard that Xiaoman had beaten five villages and eighteen villages.

"Xiaoman, what did you say? Have you finished fighting the five villages and eighteen villages?"

"Just finished. That's how my injury came about, how about it, I'm terrible!"

"Second grandpa didn't tell you what would happen after the fight?"

He didn't say it. What happens when you're done?"

"After the fight, I have to go to practice. You're still so young, I wish he could make an exception once. ”

The two brothers communicated as they walked, and they both wanted to let each other know what they had been through.

"By the way, Brother Aman's Library was opened by me, do you want to go and have a look?"

"The library is open, how did you open it?"

"I fired it when I picked it, you see my weapon. ”

After speaking, an iron lump flew out of Xiaoman's arms, flew in front of Aman, and immediately turned into a halberd. Ah Man took it and played a few tricks, which was much more decent than Xiao Man.

"The weapon is pretty good, it's just lighter. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the halberd in his hand was a little heavier, and it continued to get heavier. In the end, he couldn't hold it anymore and fell to the ground, smashing a hole with a clatter. Xiao Man smiled, withdrew his spirit, changed it back to its original state, and put it back in his arms.

"Xiaoman, you have made me bad again. But we don't seem to have any such weapons in our arsenal. ”

"No, he was a pimple at the beginning, he was thrown by the ancestors, and I also brought the jade plate of the library pavilion, and the library was opened like this, and then I made this iron lump like this myself. ”

"Why is he still transformed?"

"It's called Thousand Illusions, and it comes in many forms. You can make it whatever you want, think about whatever you want, and if you don't use it, it will turn back into a lump of iron. ”

"It's a good weapon. Let's go, take me to the library for a long time. ”

"Wait a minute. ”

After Xiao Man finished speaking, he dragged him back to the village chief's house, filled some wine with a gourd, and went in the direction of the library pavilion.

"Xiaoman, won't you be beaten if you steal the second grandfather's wine?"

"What a steal, I brewed these for him. ”

Maybe Xiaoman has really grown up and learned a lot of things. Ah Man thought in his heart. After a while, the two of them arrived at the library pavilion, and the two of them went down to the ground through the spiritual momentum. Gemini is still guarding the two doors as usual.

"Gemini-senpai, I've come to see you. ”

"Xiaoman is here, I haven't been here for a long time. ”

"I've seen the twin seniors. ”

"Gemini-senpai, this is my brother. ”

"I've seen it before, the talent is good, it turns out that it's still your brother. By the way, Xiaoman, didn't you bring anything with you this time?"

"Senior, you don't belong to eating and taking cards. Look!"

After speaking, shake the wine gourd.

"Give me a whole bite. ”

"Senior, you see that I bring you wine every time, don't you mean it?"

"We don't have much to offer you. ”

Ah Man, who was behind Xiaoman, was shocked, this was blackmailing the two seniors, and the key was that the two seniors were still bargaining.

"Our brothers have a set of combined attack techniques, which can make the strength of the two of you brothers unified, and can play the effect of one plus one is greater than two. How?"

"Deal. ”

Xiao Man threw the wine gourd to them. At the same time, the two brothers made a set of exercises in their minds.

"That senior, you open the library and let's go in and have a look. ”

The senior was staring at the wine gourd for fear that he would drink too much, so he didn't raise his head, waved his hand and the door opened. Ah Man couldn't laugh when he saw it, the two seniors with such high strength were just done by Xiao Man with a gourd of wine.

The two entered the library pavilion, and as soon as they entered, Ah Man was shocked. What a big library, a lot of books. He never dreamed that there would be such a library in his village, he searched all the way, and finally let him find the exercise area. He wanted to change a good exercise book that suited him, but Xiao Man went directly to the messy introduction area. He was about to go out to practice, and although someone followed him, he didn't know anything about the outside world, so he wanted to take a look at the introduction, and he knew as much as he could. Xiao Man watched "Mainland Details" for more than an hour, from which he probably learned about the ethnic groups living on this continent. It is divided into three types: humans, monsters, and fierce beasts. If you divide it down, you can divide it into more and more details. Among them, the number of monsters is the largest, and the monsters are also divided into sea and land, and they used to be ruled by monsters on the continent, until later when humans were oppressed, and they broke out in rebellion to get rid of the identity of slaves. It's not a lot of beasts that only know how to appear out of thin air, strange shapes, have no brains and no reason, and only know how to eat. A book has been turned to the end. It reads "How small is the existence of man, I have not traveled all the continents in my life, regret!" What is said in the book should be the meaning of the planet, he deduced that this continent is a spherical shape, which broke Xiaoman's cognition, he always thought that the sky was round. When he closed the book, he felt a little hungry, so he found Ah Man and the two of them ready to go home for dinner.

When the two arrived home, the village chief had already prepared a meal.

"Second grandpa, I'm back. ”

"I'm back, how are you outside?

"Back to the second grandfather, it's always been fine outside, and the cultivation has just arrived in the third section of Chengfeng. ”

"How can it be so slow, it shouldn't be. “

"I suppressed myself for more than a year in order to take that half step. Later, the senior of the flame soul reminded him to take that half step. ”

The village chief's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"How about taking that half a step?"

"Almost died. The advantage is that the cultivation in the back is smoother and the qi becomes more sufficient. ”

"Is it so dangerous? Alright, let's eat. By the way, your father and mother will be here the day after tomorrow. ”

Xiaoman heard another good news, this meal was extraordinarily fragrant. After waiting for two more days, a man and a woman landed at the entrance of the village that afternoon, is Hao Ran the little man's father. The two brothers waited early at the entrance of the village.

"Daddy, you're back. ”

"Good son, my mother is back. I see both of you have grown a lot taller!"

"Mother, you're still so beautiful. ”

"Stinky boy is the sweetest. ”

The family is finally reunited, and they are happy. Xiaoman felt warm again. It would be nice if my father and brother used it. Of course, he could only think about it. That night, there was another sumptuous dinner, and the village chief was invited to sit in the main seat.

"Second master, this stinky boy hasn't caused trouble in the past three years. ”

"You think he is of whose species, do you think he may not cause trouble. ”

"Second master, don't expose my shortcomings, in front of the child. I'm that big. Come, drink. ”

The village chief took a glass of wine and ate two mouthfuls of food and said

"Let me tell you, Xiaoman has finished fighting five villages and eighteen villages. According to the unwritten rules of our village. ”

"Second master, you stop for a moment, you said that he finished fighting five villages and eighteen villages?"

"Hmm. ”

"Second master, did you tell him the rules?"

"I didn't expect him to play so fast, I thought that he would fight the other four villages, how could it be a year, he started playing half a year ago, and he finished fighting in the first two days, I haven't had time to say yet. ”

"Second master, do you think this matter can make an exception?"

"I'm not making an exception, when Aman goes out to travel, he is a little older than he is now. ”

"Little bunny, why do you like to fight so much?"

It seems that Xiaoman will have to go out to practice after this fire festival. This meal was not very pleasant for several people, only the heartless guy was enjoying Ji. After the village chief finished eating and left, the family sat in the courtyard and chatted.

"Xiaoman, what is the purpose of telling your father that you are becoming stronger?"

"I want to protect the village, protect my loved ones, and keep the family together, and I can do it when I become very strong and strong. ”

"A good son should be careful when he goes out to experience himself, the men of my Yan family are all men who stand up to the sky. ”

He touched Xiaoman's head and instructed. This is the first time Xiaoman feels that his father is so gentle. Two days later, it was the Festival of Fire, and people gathered again to be baptized and blessed their families. After the Festival of Fire, everyone began to leave one after another, and the happy time was always short-lived. In addition to accompanying his family these days, Xiaoman is playing crazy with his friends, because this parting is three years. Xiaoman confessed to them that he had played with them until the last few days, and explained what he was going to experience. The partners all felt reluctant, but there was no way, this was the rule of Xiaoman's lineage, and he had to abide by it. A few days later, his parents left, and before leaving, his parents repeatedly told Xiaoman to pay attention to safety when he went out to practice, etc. Xiaoman, who has always hated nagging, didn't feel annoyed, and every word of his parents was like a warm current moistening his heart. No matter how reluctant you are, you will eventually leave. In the end, the mother hid her face and wept, leaning on her father's shoulder, and the two lifted off into the air. Maybe it was because he had experienced the same scene, Xiaoman didn't cry like last time, he just felt a little sad, adjusted his mentality and went back. After a few more days, my brother touched his head and left with Uncle Ming. Xiaoman is the only one left in the family, and he will soon be leaving. Fortunately, he is not alone, he still has Uncle Fat and Xiaotian to accompany him. It's been a long time since the Festival of Flames, and the village chief didn't urge Xiaoman to leave, he also wanted Xiaoman to be happy for a few more days, and when he got outside, everything would be very strange.

It was evening again, and Xiaoman returned home with Xiaotian. Xiao Man hugged Xiao Tian and asked

"Xiaotian, I'm going to go out to practice soon, do you want to follow me?"

"Wang"

"That's good, I'm only with you now, let's go say goodbye to everyone tomorrow, and we'll leave the day after tomorrow." ”

A man and a dog got up early the next day, and they ran towards the back mountain, he was going to worship the dog's predecessors, and by the way, he also said goodbye to him. The two men went to the grave, burned incense, and poured wine. Xiao Man bowed to the grave.

"Senior, tomorrow we are going out to practice, we have to go far, far away, and we can't come to see you often in the future. ”

"Wang, huh..."

This is Xiao Tian saying goodbye to him, just letting out a few wolf howls. After speaking, he somehow walked to the former peach tree and said

"Sister Peach, I'm leaving. ”

The peach blossoms, which were originally white, turned red. One slowly floated into Xiao Man's hand.

"I'll take it as a gift from you, thank you. ”

Xiaoman was afraid of it before, but this time it may be reluctance to part. He wasn't afraid at all. A man and a dog descended the mountain. Xiaoman found his little friend.

"Friends, I'm leaving tomorrow, don't think about me then. Remember to practice well, and don't wait for me to come back and beat you all. ”

After talking to them for a while, the two of them left.

After leaving, they went to the master's house. The door of the master's house was closed, and Xiaoman buckled the door, and the word "please come in" came from inside. Xiaoman pushed the door in, and the master was sitting in the courtyard reading a book.

"What's wrong, Xiaoman?"

"Master, Xiao Tian and I are going to go out tomorrow to go out to practice. In the future, I will not be able to listen to Master's lectures, and I thank Master for his kindness in teaching over the years. ”

After speaking, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully to the master three times, but the master did not stop him, and helped Xiaoman up after kowtowing.

"Xiaoman, you three worshippers accept it calmly. It is equally important to go out to practice, read thousands of books, and travel thousands of miles. When you go out, remember to get along with outsiders when you meet people only talk about three points, not all of your heart, when you meet reasonable, we also give others reason, unreasonable don't have to pay attention. The master wished the student Xiaoman a smooth sailing on this trip, and every evil turned into good fortune. ”

Xiaoman said goodbye again. said goodbye to his master, Xiaoman went home and packed his bags. He actually didn't have anything to pack, just picked out a few clothes to change in, and brought some dry food, which his mother prepared for him.

At dinner that day, Xiaoman and the village chief sat opposite each other, and the two talked after eating.

"Second grandfather, I'm ready to leave tomorrow, and I won't be willing to stay any longer. ”

"Let's go, a good man has ambitions in all directions, and he can't be more careful when he goes out than at home. ”

"Well, I remember, second grandfather, you remember to drink that ginseng doll wine after I left, and don't drink too much, it's not good for your health. Second grandfather, you have to take care of yourself, you are good to Xiaoman, Xiaoman remembers, grandchildren can't be by your side to honor you. ”

After speaking, Xiaoman burst into tears and knelt down to worship. Looking up and looking at the village chief, he was also full of tears. The softness of the village chief's heart was touched, and he even wondered if the decision he had made was right. Then he became firm again, he couldn't do without the eagle of the house, he could only be regarded as a poultry, and he could not soar between the heavens and the earth after all.

"Okay, tomorrow you and your fat uncle will go directly, don't come to me, I'm old, I can't stand this, go back to sleep." ”
