Chapter 12: The Past
Qingding brought the food to Zhu Yan, and as soon as he entered Zhu Yan's room, he saw Zhu Yan lying in front of the window in a daze, and there was a maple tree outside the window, which was like a cover.
Qingding put down the food, knocked on the table, and reminded Zhu Wei, seeing that Zhu Wei didn't react, he was still lying in front of the window, Qingding didn't want to urge him to eat, turned around and walked outside the house.
"My mother planted this tree."
Qingding heard the voice, stopped, turned around to look at Zhu Yan, who was still in his original posture, and wondered if he was talking to me.
Seeing that Zhu Wei didn't speak for a long time, Qingding stood stupidly, thinking that he should have been talking to himself just now, raised his steps, and prepared to eat, at this time, Zhu Yan sounded with warm words.
"Thank you for standing in front of me just now, but don't do that next time, your strength doesn't match your courage."
Qingding listened to Zhu sarcastically's words of thanks, and was originally very happy, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, his radiant face instantly drooped, why do you have to say that.
Zhu Wei slowly turned his head and looked at Qing Ding, he knew a long time ago that that person had accepted a new apprentice, and he would be recounted from the uncle's name to that person's name after a while, which means that Qing Ding would be his senior brother.
To be honest, Zhu Wei was not very convinced, he complained to the senior brother, and the senior brother comforted him of the benefits of being a junior brother, and the senior brother was carrying it if something happened, so he didn't need to bear any responsibility.
But Zhu Yan wanted to hear not this, he wanted to know why a person who was not as strong as himself could be his senior brother, why this person who looked a little rustic could be valued by him, and why this rustic person could be taken by him for half a year to guide ....... Zhu Yan has a lot of reasons in his heart, but there is only one sentence to sum up, why his father doesn't want to look at himself more.
So Zhu Yan ran to cause trouble when he went up the mountain at the top of the mountain, maybe this is how that person will pay attention to him, and the result is that a quarrel broke out, and the follow-up is what just happened.
But he didn't expect Qingding to stand in front of him so decisively in that situation, at that time, Qingding should have heard the discussions of the people around him, and knew that the person behind the little fat man opposite was in a high position, but Qingding still hid himself firmly behind him without saying a word, at that moment, Zhu Yan's inexplicable anger towards Qingding was gone, and he recognized this cheap senior brother in his heart.
Zhu Yan jumped up from the seat in front of the window, came to the main seat and began to enjoy dinner. Qing Ding saw that Zhu Yan had eaten, and thought that the task was completed, and he could go and explain to the senior brother with peace of mind.
Just when Qingding stepped out of the door with half a foot, he heard Zhu Wei's self-deprecation: "Peak, Feng, these two names have many meanings, but I, but irony, maybe in his opinion, I am a sarcasm." ”
Hearing Zhu Wei's words, Qingding's mind suddenly flashed with a flash of inspiration, he looked back at Zhu Wei and said seriously: "Peak, although the seal is good, there is only one word, and there are two words of irony, remember, maple." ”
After speaking, Qingding closed the door of the room, and did not go to Zhu Wei's follow-up situation, his words were so brilliant, maybe he would understand.
Thinking of his super-level performance just now, Qingding hummed happily, and just bypassed the corner of the nearest corridor outside Zhu Weimen, he saw Dengfeng leaning against the wall, looking at him with an appreciative smile.
"Senior brother, you are very talented, let's go, senior brother has prepared good things for you."
Qing Ding touched his head embarrassedly, being praised by the most talented senior brother in the entire sect for being talented, for a boy of his age, it was a better compliment than anything else, and what made Qing Ding happy didn't care so much about the good things that Dengfeng said.
followed Dengfeng to the courtyard, Dengfeng moved away, showing the scene in front of him in Qingding's sight. Qingding's eyes lit up instantly, and Wow Sai was actually a roasted sheep.
Dengfeng looked at the junior brother who was about to leave his saliva, nudged his shoulder, and scolded with a smile: "What are you doing standing here stupidly, don't eat yet." ”
"Oh, oh."
Like a hungry beast, Qingding jumped to the seat next to the roasted whole sheep without regard to the image, picked up the knife and fork placed on the grill, and began to select the difficulty mode, not knowing which piece to cut.
When Deng Feng saw this scene, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Senior brother, you are too funny." As he spoke, he walked over, picked up the knife and fork beside him, and skillfully cut the most cooked part of the sheep.
Qingding did the same, cut off a piece of meat, sprinkled with cumin handed over by the senior brother, smeared with the sauce, put it in the mouth, and exploded instantly, the beauty of the mutton with the assistance of the sauce hammered the brain like lightning, and the spicy feeling of cumin amplified this feeling, it was really superb.
After a storm, Qingding touched his bulging belly, lay on the rattan bench in the yard, held a toothpick and picked his teeth, and looked at the night sky on the mountain, feeling comfortable.
After Dengfeng cleaned up the mess, he came over with a bottle of wine and a pot of tea, handed the tea to the low wooden table next to the Qingding chaise longue, leaned on the chaise longue next to him, and drank the wine brought back by the master.
Tonight's moon is very round, counting the day is also the fifteenth of the month, Qingding counts the stars in the sky, this is his favorite thing to do when he is comfortable, used to be at home, his mother will make his favorite scallion pancakes, with a pot of tea, listening to his father tell the story of these stars.
Qingding's eyes were full of nostalgia as he counted the stars, and tears flowed down the corners of his eyes.
"My brother is homesick."
Dengfeng took a big sip of wine, looked at the clear night sky and bright stars on the top of the mountain, and reveled intoxicated: "The Qingshan Hall is very high, so high that it is covered by clouds and mist, so this night sky is so bright that it is easy for people to sink and reverie." ”
"Senior brother, are you homesick too?"
Listening to Dengfeng's tone, Qingding said curiously.
"Home", hearing this word, Dengfeng laughed loudly, and the laughter was full of sadness and bitterness, "My home is here, you, Zhu Yan, the master is my family, my past is nowhere to be found, and no one can read it." ”
"I'm sorry, senior brother, I shouldn't have mentioned it."
Qingding felt the sadness accompanied by his senior brother's words, and comforted: "Senior brother, what you said, I am your family, as long as you don't dislike it, I will always be your family and your junior brother." ”
Dengfeng looked at Qingding solemnly for a long time, and said, "Thank you, junior brother." Suddenly, he seemed to change his face, and said with a wicked smile: "Don't say it, junior brother, you look quite handsome at a glance, you have the ability to be a girl killer, tell me if you feel that female sister is beautiful when you go up the mountain today." ”
Qingding didn't react to the change of roles in Dengfeng, the last second he was still a sad prince who was overwhelmed by the cold, and the next second he was so down-to-earth, and a little obscene, and the questions he asked just made Qingding care, where to run with the master in the past six months, most of the women I saw were old women, and some of the senior sisters were particularly plump, and they would blush when they peeked at them.
Dengfeng looked at Qingding's blushing appearance, and thought to himself, this junior brother has ideas, I can take him to see it next time I have time, but there are some things to tell him first, so as to save him from being hit.
"Hmph, junior brother, it's good to have ideas, but there are some things that I still need to mention to you."
"Ah, what's the matter?"
Looking at Dengfeng's very important face, Qingding sat upright and looked teachable.
"There are a lot of good-looking women in the sect, every teenager who has just entered the sect, most of them are your age, and in the mortal world, you can start a family at the age of thirteen, and it is not far from your age, young and strong, it is easy to look at which junior sister and sister, I want to get closer, fantasize about becoming a Taoist couple, and ignore some things, can you understand?"
Dengfeng suddenly threw over the question, Qingding thought for a while, and replied half-understandingly: "Could it be that Senior Brother wants to warn me not to delay my cultivation because of my own impulsiveness, the gains outweigh the losses?" ”
After answering, thinking about it carefully, Qingding felt that he had said it well, and he answered more positively, even if he didn't answer all of them, he should have a passing grade.
Unexpectedly, Dengfeng had a surprised expression on his face, and said: "What the hell, what does this have to do with cultivation, will this thing delay cultivation?"
Qingding's heart was devastated heavily, and he remembered that his senior brother was so talented that he could top others for half a month of penance as long as he practiced for one day, looking at the senior brother's very strange appearance, Qingding was really speechless.
Dengfeng also realized that he looked at the problem from his own conditions, and looked at the problem simply, thinking that he was really motivated from the perspective of his junior brother. But that's not the point, the junior brother is still too young, as long as there are people, there are rivers and lakes, whether it is the mortal world or the cultivation world, they are still in reality, and the most important thing in the real world is reality.
Forget it, Dengfeng thinks it's better to let Qingding fall on his heels, anyway, judging from his perception and the master's evaluation of Qingding, Qingding is the kind of person who is tough and upward, and is most suitable for difficult grinding, so don't worry about him being hit and decadent, but he is too worried.
Glancing at Qingding encouragingly, Dengfeng packed up his things and walked to his house. Qingding looked at Dengfeng's back with a blinded face, and roared wildly in his heart, what the hell, this senior brother said that there was still something, and he didn't say it like constipation, and he thought I was wrong, and secretly pretended to be a force, because he looked trusted, why is it so unreliable!
