Chapter Ninety-Five: The Landscape of the Years
Gu Chaosheng wiped away the faint tears on his face, and looked at the old man in front of him, who was also a master and a father, and his heart was full of reluctance.
He was childish when he was young, and when he was five or six years old, he was ignorant and naughty, fishing and hunting birds, and messing around on the mountain and down the mountain every day, but Master Kongkong always indulged him and didn't discipline him much.
It wasn't until one time he pulled out all the sweet potato seedlings that had just been planted by the farmers at the bottom of the mountain, and let people catch them, and they were taken to the mountain to be held accountable, that the empty master was angry.
Sweet potatoes are the livelihood ration of the farmers, and the lives of the family are more or less in the fields. But let Gu Chaosheng pull it out, he usually catches rabbits and touches birds, but this time he hurts other people's property and lives. It can't be indulged anymore.
You can't escape from being beaten, and you have to help the family close the land, replant sweet potato seedlings, and finally be locked up for a month.
Xiao Gu Chaosheng was also stubborn, and he didn't say a single extra word. Master Kongkong only thought that this bear child didn't know his mistakes, and he doubted himself for a long time, could it be that he miscalculated when he picked up this child?
He thought about it, no matter how much he raised a child by himself, if he can't keep it in captivity, he has no experience in raising children, he always feels that he is not hungry or frozen, and he has also taught him to practice literature and martial arts, and he is not far behind, but now it seems that it is possible to not restrain the long crooked.
So on the last night of Gu Chaosheng's confinement, Master Kongkong wanted to go and preach to him again, but who knew that before he pushed the door open, he heard a childish voice chattering inside.
"Didn't you say that sweet potatoes are so sweet that you haven't eaten them for a long time...... I just want to touch two of them and bake them for you to taste, how do I know that there is not a single sweet potato in such a large field...... You didn't teach me when this thing will mature. Hum! ”
The Master of the Sky glanced inside through the crack in the door, and the little child was lying on the ground on all fours, and he didn't eat much of the food he brought in every day, and he looked like he had lost a lot of weight.
At this time, when I heard the villain's chatter, I would inevitably feel distressed again.
He pushed the door in, sat down cross-legged in front of him, Gu Chaosheng saw him come in, but didn't look at him, Gu Zi turned over.
"Feeling wronged?"
Xiao Gu Chaosheng pretended to close his eyes.
"Do you think the punishment for the teacher is too heavy?"
Gu Chaosheng held back his grievances in his heart, and he didn't ask about it, and he couldn't hold his breath no matter how wronged he was. At this time, when he saw that his master suddenly softened and talked to him, he couldn't hold back his tears, but he still didn't turn to look at him, but just secretly wiped his tears.
When the Master of the Sky saw him like this, he also felt at a loss, thinking that it would be better to wait for him to stop crying, and then get up between actions.
Gu Chaosheng heard the movement, but he couldn't help it, turned around and threw himself into his arms, tears and snot rubbing all over his clothes mercilessly.
"Master...... Master...... I just want to touch a sweet potato, I don't want to pull out other people's seedlings......"
Gu Chaosheng smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth when he heard this, and patted the villain's back again and again: "The teacher knows, it's because the teacher is not good, and he didn't ask the reason for it, and he punished you heavily." Can you forgive the master? ”
Hearing his master apologize to himself, Xiao Gu Chaosheng's grievances that he had been holding back for the past month dissipated all of a sudden, but he couldn't stop crying.
"How about going with you tomorrow to catch rabbits and roast them?"
"Really?" The little man's eyes are shining.
"Didn't you always say that the master wouldn't accompany you?" Master Kongkong straightened up and helped him up again, "Why don't you wash your face and rest early?" ”
Gu Chaosheng refused to let go, only grabbed his sleeve and looked at him pitifully: "Master, you haven't coaxed me to sleep for a long time." ”
This is the warmest memory of growing up in Gu Chaosheng's memory. The so-called master and father are, in the final analysis, his first relatives in this world.
He looked at the old man in front of him, and all kinds of flavors came to his heart, from the moment he woke up on the cold jade bed, he knew that his mentor was back, although he hadn't seen him for more than ten years, but at that moment, he seemed to have returned to the past, becoming that carefree childish naughty boy.
But in the next second, he just calculated casually, even if his master's time was short, all the joy of reunion in his heart turned into reluctance to say goodbye forever.
"Master...... Can you accompany the apprentice to catch the rabbit again......"
The old man looked at Gu Chaosheng, who was still kneeling on the ground at this time, with a light face, and his memory was suddenly pulled back to the past. He smiled and nodded: "Okay, accompany my apprentice to catch the rabbit again, and no one will be able to protect you in the future, and you can't be childish anymore." ”
In the end, both the master and apprentice held back their tears.
The daylight in winter is always shorter, Yun Hao went down the mountain, Xiaoya Xiaoxian was also busy, the master and ancestor were talking, and the sun was slanting westward.
Ling Xi broke a branch and walked around in the valley while comparing the moves of the Mingyue Sword Technique, and she also felt itchy hands after not practicing for a few days.
I don't know what my eldest brother is doing, she is a little stubborn.
With the force under his feet, as soon as the person was light, he rose high and flew to the house where Zhanfeng was sleeping.
"Who!"
Unexpectedly, before Lingxi got close, Zhan Fengmian flew out of the window of the house with a pebble, but fortunately, Lingxi was agile, so he could avoid it.
The eldest brother was so vigilant, Ling Xi's brows flashed with a trace of doubt, and then she thought about it, maybe it was the eldest brother's previous living environment that made him have to be on guard at all times, after all, she was under the fence, and when she thought about it, her doubts in her heart also dissipated.
She stood on the branch outside the door and said with a smile: "Big brother, it's good that my little sister is very powerful, otherwise if I were someone else, I am afraid that I would be hurt by your stone." ”
Zhan Fengmian had already jumped out of the door the moment he threw the stone, and at this moment, he saw that the person was actually his sister, and he couldn't help but regret that he had just started too quickly, and he breathed a long sigh of relief, fortunately he didn't hurt her.
"Come down! Are you hurt? As he spoke, he walked towards Lingxi and stretched out his hand to catch her: "Little sister, you come to knock on the door, the eldest brother just thought it was a thief." Come, jump down, big brother will pick you up, like when you were a child. ”
Ling Xi was stunned for a moment, Zhan Fengmian saw that she was stunned before she remembered, she had amnesia, and said with a smile: "Brother will always protect you." ”
Lingxi smiled sweetly at him.
"Brother, you and I haven't compared for a long time, do you want to try?"
"Hehe, my sister wants to compare, then compare, don't cry if you lose."
Zhan Fengmian also folded a branch casually, and suddenly thought of something, and said: "By the way, little sister, my brother thought some time ago, maybe my brother will also teach you the Xinghua swordsmanship, and your Mingyue swordsmanship will go to the next level, these two sets of swordsmanship were originally split out of one set, you and I both know that combining them into one is the real Mingyue swordsmanship, which is also my long-cherished wish for many years from the master, although he taught me, but I always feel that I have not exerted the ten-layer power of this set of swordsmanship." Does my little sister want to learn? ”
