Chapter 4 I decided to practice hard late at night
"Senior brother, you sweep so slowly!" Bai Qingyan sat by the steps, looking at Bai Jiangci who was cleaning the steps, sweeping too slowly, it was uncomfortable to look at, and it was going to be dark.
"I'll try to be as fast as I can." Jiang Ci worked hard to speed up, and he sweated all over,
"Hahaha, senior brother, it's going to be dark." The second senior brother, Bai Chuzhong, gently shook the fan and walked over slowly, and sat next to Qingyan, who felt a slight breeze gently blowing through his ears.
"Little junior sister, isn't it cool?" As he spoke, he shook his fan and winked at Qingyan.
Qingyan understood, and said cooperatively, "Yes, senior brother, it's so cool!" β
The sweat of the senior brother has been dripping from his neck and forehead to the steps. But he still didn't speak, letting Qingyan and Chu Zhong make fun of him.
"Yo Yo Yo, what's going on here? I see you cleaning the stairs here every day. "This is the person sent from the white clothes to report the situation, and I can't help but laugh at this situation. I didn't expect these closed disciples to be so skinny.
"What's your business!" Chu Zhong was a little angry, and Qingyan grabbed him, not wanting him to be impulsive.
"Second Senior Brother, this month has been sweeping the long steps for a month, and if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan. On impulse, I have to sweep the ground for dozens of more days. Thinking of this, Chu Zhong also had a bitter tear, okay, okay, put up with him first, endure the calm for a while, and endure the sea and sky for a while.
The man saw that the two of them had no intention of looking for trouble, so he was relieved, after all, he would definitely not be able to beat them.
The senior brother was still slowly swallowing here, and Chu Zhong and Qingyan simply took another broom to help him clean up. If you ask what happened again this time, it is that the senior brother got up late. The senior brother was also very guilty, but fortunately, this time the master was merciful and only punished for seven days, one day per person, and it was fine. Master is really good at punishment, just seven days, Qingyan muttered in his heart from time to time.
The second senior brother Chu Zhong was neat, and he quickly finished sweeping. Qian Xi and Si Yu cleaned together, and Chu Li and Lin Chuan also finished cleaning. At this time, it is the turn of Qingyan to clean up.
"Senior sister, junior sister-"
Qingyan was sweating tiredly, but she heard someone calling her. Turning his head, he saw that it was the senior brother who came, he took a glass of water, and carefully walked over the long steps to Qingyan.
"It's hot! I've got water for you, drink some of it! Qingyan took the water with a smile and drank it in a big gulp.
"Thank you, big brother! Just now, the senior sister and they also brought water. β
"Don't worry, drink slowly." The elder brother took the broom in her hand and cleaned it for her. The elder brother is always like this, and he feels sorry for himself in obscurity. Qingyan felt a warmth of being cared for and protected.
Although the senior brother swept slowly, Qingyan was still waiting for him seriously.
"Senior brother, have you been here since you were a child?" Qingyan asked her doubts
"I was abandoned when I was a child, but fortunately the White Clothes Sect accepted me as a disciple." The elder brother said, "At that time, I remember that I had never eaten a full meal, and I had no place to sleep, Master, he was my savior!" If it weren't for him, I would have starved to death by this moment. β
Qingyan remembered that she seemed to be so miserable, and she couldn't help but feel sympathy. "I've seen my parents, but they're no longer alive!"
"From now on, this is home." The elder brother comforted her.
From now on, this is home. Qingyan felt that this was the warmest comfort she had ever heard. But the lost flute still makes people feel regretful.
After sweeping the steps, the two of them were already tired, and sat together on the steps to watch the gradually darkening sky.
Jiang Ci was thinking, when could he go down the mountain, he could go out to see the outside world, and Qingyan was thinking, would there be a chance to find the flute? And the little boy who smiled and said that he would help him find the flute, his clear eyes, I'm afraid I won't see it again!
"Senior brother, junior sister!" The second senior brother and the third senior sister came over together and sat next to the two of them.
"What do you think?" Chu Zhong asked,
"Didn't think about anything, look at the night sky." The elder brother said that in fact, he didn't know what he was thinking.
"I really want to see the world down the mountain!" The third senior sister Qianxi said, with a yearning on her face.
"Yes! I haven't been down in years, and I've forgotten what it's like to go down there. Chu Zhong said, Senior Brother remembered that he had been thinking about going down the mountain just now, and then said yes.
Qingyan told them the story of the mountain. Here is the world of white, and under the mountain is the world of color, with all kinds of people, all kinds of delicious food, storytellers, and singers, each of which is enough to make them have infinite reverie.
When we were separated, we discussed that if we had the opportunity, we must go down the mountain together to play, and if the master didn't let me go, then go secretly. Bai Yan sat in the study and played a song. Looking at the few disciples who were seriously practicing the basic skills outside the door, all kinds of pride and pride appeared in their hearts, and they really deserved to be the best chosen talents. The memory and comprehension skills are so deep. But when he set his eyes on Bai Qingyan, he frowned tightly, this girl didn't have half of her talent for martial arts, and she looked stupid.
However, if you don't have the art of self-defense, how can you protect yourself in the future? The more Bai Yan thought about it, the more angry he became, and felt that if he didn't teach this girl well in front of others, he would not be able to get over his face. After finishing the exercises, Bai Yan motioned for Qingyan to take a step for the time being, and all the senior brothers and sisters became nervous, and cast sympathetic glances at her, signaling her to act when she saw the opportunity, with a sincere attitude, and maybe she could reduce the punishment.
In the empty study, he stood there with a blank face.
Bai Yan took a sip of tea gently, the fragrance of tea lingered between his lips and teeth, and the tea mist was filled, filling the study.
"You've been practicing, it's been more than ten days!"
"yes!" Qingyan nodded, I don't know why, everyone is very afraid of the master, but I only feel very kind. It's just that now, she is searching hard in her mind for what she has done recently, and there seems to be nothing that violates the rules, so she calms down.
"But I don't think you've grown at all!"
"Master, the disciple has been practicing very hard!"
"It's good that you work hard! You know, I'm willing to teach you, but under tremendous pressure, if you don't make some achievements, my old face will be lost by you. β
"Master!" Bai Qingyan knelt down, feeling as if he had really done something very wrong, "Master, the disciple knows that he is wrong, the disciple must practice diligently when he goes back, and he will never let the master lose face." β
"Well, you know! Let's go down! Bai Yan beckoned, looked at Bai Qingyan's thin body, and felt bitter again.
"Twilight, you say, I should take her as a disciple or not! thought that he could keep them away from the chaos of the rivers and lakes, but he pushed her into the hopeless abyss with his own hands. Bai Yan sighed with emotion for a while, and sighed one after another.
"Not necessarily, I think the white girl is stupid but has the advantage of being stupid, just learn a little self-defense, protect herself in times of crisis, in the white-clothed faction, she will be able to protect her for the rest of her life." Twilight can see it.
Sometimes there is a dark stream of frost and snow, and I can't see the wind because I am in a hurricane all the time, who can predict what will happen in the future, what is a fantasy for a lifetime of worry-free, Bai Yan also knows that it is difficult for him to protect her, just like he can't always be by Bai Zhi's side, there is nothing he can do. I still have wings now, but what about in the future? It's better to let her understand for herself and learn some skills.
Bai Qingyan was relieved when he left the study, fortunately, it was not because he had made any mistakes again, and the master did not mean to punish him, he was really happy. As soon as he returned to the bedroom, Qianxi greeted him with a worried face, and Qingyan said the ins and outs of the matter casually.
"It's great not to be punished!" Qingyan was happy to herself, but when she saw that Qianxi couldn't be happy, she hurriedly asked, "Senior sister, what's wrong?" β
"You'd better go and practice well! What if Master doesn't teach you! Looking at the senior sister's sad face, Bai Qingyan felt that there was a bit of a fuss. But when I think about it, there is no reason why I don't want to work. Besides, the master and the senior brothers and sisters are so good to themselves, there is no reason for me to lose their face.
Thinking about it, Bai Qingyan instantly came to the fighting spirit, but she was practicing during the day, and she could only work overtime at night, which was tantamount to reluctantly cutting her love for her, who had always loved to sleep lazily. For the sake of such hard work, let me catch up with my senior sister.
After the senior brothers and sisters had already fallen asleep, Bai Qingyan walked out of the bedroom. If she told her senior sister that she was going to practice, she would definitely be worried about accompanying her, but Qingyan knew that her senior sister also loved to sleep, so she was embarrassed to let her sacrifice her sleep time to accompany her.
The moon and stars are scarce, and the forest behind the long house is quiet, there are some dead branches and leaves, and there is a creaking sound when stepping on it, Bai Qingyan tiptoes into the forest, for fear of encountering some monsters. This is a place that Qingyan looks good about during the day.
There was a black figure in front of him, Bai Qingyan was stunned, his brain was blank, and he couldn't speak, so he turned around and prepared to leave. But just as she was about to run, she was caught by a branch, and when she was excited, she did not pull the branch, but continued to run.
Fell to the ground in embarrassment. His hand was also scratched by a branch, and red blood flowed out.
But at this moment, none of this can distract her, she is lying down, she has not yet gotten up, but she heard a sound of small footsteps behind her, closer, her heart was suddenly lifted into her throat, it's over, it's not something like a ghost, ah! I knew that I shouldn't have come out alone, and now everyone is asleepγγγγγγ
"Who?"
