Chapter 40 - Apprentice Hanyue
"Uncle Feng Baiyi!" What appeared in front of Feng Baiyi, who was squatting on the ground, was the figure of a little girl wearing coarse cloth clothes and dragging straw sandals at will. This little girl's face was stained with a lot of dirt and leaves, but Feng Baiyi could still see Gao Hanyue's big eyes that flashed with embarrassment, which were very bright and thorough.
"Yue'er, why are you here?" Feng Baiyi also felt a little surprised, looking at Gao Hanyue, who was sneering at him before meeting him. Feng Baiyi didn't know what to say for a while. Feng Baiyi stood up from the ground in disdain, looked at the casserole in front of him, and didn't know what to say.
Gao Hanyue squatted down slightly, staring at the pile of firewood that Feng Baiyi had not yet lit below, Gao Hanyue "fluttered-" and said out loud with a laugh, "Uncle Feng Baiyi, don't you see that the match is already damp on it? How is it easy to light a damp match? Or I'll come, Uncle Feng Baiyi!" Gao Hanyue took the initiative to ask, squatted down directly and lay down on the pile of firewood in front of him, and skillfully moved his hands.
"Oh, is it Yue'er, you are really skilled, Feng Baiyi's face was slightly embarrassed, he could only step aside in a sneering manner, and looked at Gao Hanyue, who was squatting on the ground carefully and lighting a fire with his hands crossed.
"Yue'er, why are you here? Oops, but I miss my sister!" Outside the door, Feng Baiyi met Gao Hanyue, and the two of them had already listened to Xia Qing, who was originally resting in the bamboo house. Xia Qing couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and hurriedly got out of bed and walked out, when Xia Qing saw the back of Gao Hanyue squatting on the ground, Xia Qing immediately shouted excitedly.
"Sister Qing, I miss you so much!" Gao Hanyue's face finally showed a cheering expression, she stood up from the ground with a grunt and rushed to Xia Qing's arms who had just come out of the bamboo house in front of her. The two cheered and hugged each other tightly.
Xia Qing lovingly took Gao Hanyue who rushed in front of him in his arms, and at the same time threw a serious look to Feng Baiyi, who was standing aside, Feng Baiyi signaled, squatted down helplessly and continued to start a fire. While lighting the fire, he gently lamented the lack of his presence.
Xia Qing and Gao Hanyue hugged each other for a long time, Xia Qing suddenly thought of something, and quickly let go of Gao Hanyue in his arms, and said in a voice full of seriousness: "Yue'er, why are you here, your mother is fine, didn't I tell you, you have to make sure that your mother is worry-free" Xia Qing's tone was full of strong blame and doubt. Even though she really likes Gao Hanyue, she is really worried about Gao Hanyue's mother's situation.
"Don't worry," Gao Hanyue's face with a hint of mud was full of joy, "Don't worry, my mother is fortunate that thanks to your sister's purple mushroom spirit grass and the doctor's careful care, she can now walk around the ground." She even made a special meal for me yesterday!" Gao Hanyue is a child's heart after all, and the carefree feeling in her tone now makes Xia Qing envious.
Xia Qing breathed a long sigh of relief, and continued to lovingly take Gao Hanyue in front of him into his arms gently, and Xia Qing clearly heard that his voice was a little choked up when he was talking now. "Then Yue'er, are you willing to be our apprentice, I and your Uncle Feng Baiyi both hope so" Xia Qing really likes the little girl in front of him, not only because in Gao Hanyue's body, Xia Qing found his shadow when he was a child, but also because Xia Qing clearly felt that Gao Hanyue had the same soul in his body as them. Of course, Gao Hanyue is still young now, and she has not found her true soul. But what Xia Qing could feel was that Gao Hanyue had the same special abilities inside his body as when they were children. This is also one of the reasons why Xia Qing wants to accept Gao Hanyue as an apprentice.
Gao Hanyue's eyes were slightly stunned, and then she knelt on her knees in relief, and respectfully kowtowed three times in front of Xia Qing, her voice was extremely serious and solemn, "Disciple Gao Hanyue, meet Master and Master, my mother said, I want me to follow you, you are my benefactor, I am willing to follow you to learn art, I hope Master and Master will not think I am stupid"
"Okay" Xia Qing hurriedly picked up Gao Hanyue, who was kneeling on the ground, and Feng Baiyi also temporarily threw down the match in his hand that had not yet lit the fire, and walked over. Together with his wife, he lifted up the first apprentice of the two of them. It was also the proudest disciple of the two of them many years later, Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing loved Gao Hanyue even more than their children.
"Who thinks you're stupid? Look at your master, the fire hasn't been lit yet" Xia Qing lightly bypassed the topic, enlivening the originally somewhat solemn atmosphere again.
"Master, why haven't you lit this fire yet, why don't you let me try it?" Gao Hanyue walked to Feng Baiyi's side, with a slight smile on her face, and said in a coquettish voice. Then he squatted down, skillfully blowing matches, his hands still fanning around, his movements were very skillful, without any hesitation.
"Well, well, master is not good at this" Feng Baiyi was a little embarrassed to step aside and stand, staring at Gao Hanyue, who was squatting in front of the match and skillfully handling the flames. Feng Baiyi's face once again showed a more embarrassed expression.
After a while, with a very crisp "flutter-" sound, a bright and indifferent flame suddenly ignited in front of Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing. Gao Hanyue stood up with satisfaction and said with a huff: "The fire has been lit, I don't know what Master and Master need to burn now?"
"Really? hey" Feng Baiyi let out a sigh of relief, but was suddenly pulled violently by Xia Qing beside him, and Feng Baiyi couldn't help but sigh.
"Are you really embarrassed? This is our apprentice! Moreover, she is only five years old! Are you really embarrassed?" Xia Qing scolded angrily, half-truthfully, making Feng Baiyi a little speechless. He implied that his sense of existence was weaker now, and silently, Feng Baiyi could only drag his feet to the back of the grass house to deal with a small pheasant that he happened to catch tonight, Feng Baiyi was still a little confident in dealing with this pheasant, and by the way, Feng Baiyi also ran to the bamboo forest to look for wild vegetables.
Gao Hanyue smiled slightly, the expression on her face was full of innocence, "Master, it's okay, I'll come." Go and rest first, I think you should be tired after a long day."
"Really good" Xia Qingshu really stepped forward and touched Gao Hanyue's head, and said lovingly. However, in the middle of Xia Qing's words, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"Yue'er, how did you know that we did such a thing today" Xia Qing suddenly felt that something was wrong, and she secretly thought to herself that there was something wrong with what Gao Hanyue said.
Gao Hanyue lowered her head slightly, her voice was a little shy, "Actually, I found this bamboo forest this morning just in time to see the scene where you dealt with that army and then disposed of the corpses of these soldiers."
"Ah" Xia Qing's pretty face showed a look of fear for the first time, "Yue'er, I'm sorry, I don't know"
"It's okay, master, you can rest assured, go and rest" Gao Hanyue shook her head happily, and then helped Xia Qing to the grass hut and gently closed the door. Then he returned to the casserole outside the grass house, lowered his head and continued to blow the matchpile in front of him, Xia Qing stood behind Gao Hanyue with some confusion, his throat choked slightly, and he didn't know what to say. She could only secretly think that Gao Hanyue should accept the real life in this world as late as possible.
Xia Qing let out a long sigh, turned around and went back to the grass hut, at this time Xia Qing's thoughts were very much at this time, Feng Baiyi had already brought the wild vegetables and pheasants that had been simply handled. Before Feng Baiyi noticed Gao Hanyue squatting on the ground, Gao Hanyue had already skillfully taken the pheasant and wild vegetables from Feng Baiyi's hand, threw them into the casserole in front of him, and stirred them skillfully. Gao Hanyue didn't forget to say to Feng Baiyi behind him, "Master, it's okay, I'll leave these things to me, don't worry, I can handle it." ”
Feng Baiyi looked at Gao Hanyue's confident gaze, and Feng Baiyi was embarrassed to say anything, although he always felt a little embarrassed to let a five-year-old girl help their two adults in their twenties cook. However, Feng Baiyi still pushed open the door of the grass hut and entered the room, chatting with Xia Qing.
