The awkward silence lasted for half a minute, and Jiang Mubai asked with a strange face, "Where did you hear that?" ”

"Teacher Zheng said." Jiang Huiyin blinked, tilted his head and asked, "It's actually a lie, right?" If bamboo only grows three centimeters in four years, how can there be bamboo shoots to eat. ”

Jiang Mubai smiled and shook his head: "This is a rumor, Mr. Zheng is not lying, he is using white lies to help those eliminated students regain their confidence, sometimes we do need some encouragement, need a little spiritual sustenance, in order to regroup after failure." ”

"Oh." Jiang Huiyin pursed her mouth, obviously not understanding.

How to comfort a child when she encounters setbacks, and how to shape the correct three views for her through the experience of failure? Jiang Mubai, who had no experience in parenting, was a little difficult, he pondered for a while, patted Jiang Huiyin's shoulder and said: "The story of bamboo is not suitable for you, I brought you here to let you see the scenery and change your mood, oh, look over there, what do you see?" ”

Looking in the direction pointed by his brother, Jiang Huiyin saw the sunset in the west, saw the sunset falling on the bamboo forest, and saw the orange, red, rose, and purple reflecting each other......

"Sunset, bamboo forest."

The beautiful scenery that is difficult to describe in words was condensed into two nouns in the little girl's mouth, and Jiang Mubai couldn't help but laugh when she thought of the Chinese test paper she secretly hid in the desk drawer.

"Look at it upside down."

"Huh?"

Jiang Mubai flipped his wrist and repeated, "Look at it upside down." ”

The little girl understood what her brother meant, tucked the hem of her blouse into the waistband of her pants, and then turned upside down.

"What do you see now?" Jiang Mubai asked.

"Bamboo forest, sunset." Jiang Huiyin changed the order of the previous answers, and then a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, "Oh! Dream! ”

The sunset hangs over the bamboo forest, and when you look at it upside down, it is the bamboo forest standing on the sunset.

The word "forest" is written on the word "xi", which is "dream".

"Is it beautiful?"

"Uh-huh!"

"Alright, sit down." Jiang Mubai found a bench and sat down, and when Jiang Huiyin sat beside her, he put his arm around her shoulders and said softly, "Huiyin, everyone will experience failure, but failure is only temporary, for those who will never give in, there is no so-called failure, no matter how many times the defeat is and how late the time is, victory is still expected." ”

Jiang Huiyin thought for a while and asked, "Brother, are you talking about me, or are you talking about Zhang Chiyuan?" ”

"Of course it's you." Jiang Mubai rubbed her head dotingly, rubbing her hairstyle into a messy one, "Isn't your dream to win the championship trophy of the Little Martial Holy Grail, the dream is so beautiful, don't give up easily." ”

"But I'm far behind." Jiang Huiyin lowered his head and sighed faintly, "It's really too far away, and I can't even enter the round-robin match." ”

"Don't think so, Mr. Zheng is experienced, and his judgment is generally not wrong, he said that you have the strength to reach the top 16 or even the top 8, which means that you do have the strength to fight for the state domain name, but this time you are a little less lucky."

"It has nothing to do with luck, it's because I'm not good enough." Jiang Huiyin shook his head and didn't accept such comfort, "If I really have the strength to win the championship, I won't lose to him." ”

"Well, I'm glad you think so, many people blindly attribute their failures to bad luck, and they are bent on hitting big luck, but they don't want to improve themselves, and waiting for luck to come to their hands like this, it's almost impossible to succeed." Jiang Mubai was relieved, and after a short pause, he continued, "But we have to admit that luck is very important, you usually practice very hard, and it is not your problem that you failed to make it to the group match this time." Just like Hu Di and Lu Zhihao, they originally had a chance to enter the round-robin, but ran into you and Zhang Chiyuan. ”

"As for the strength gap between you and Zhu Zizheng? He also said that if he had been two years ago, he would not have won so easily. He was born in a martial arts family, except for eating, drinking, and Lazar, there is nothing else that will distract him, and he has enjoyed the educational resources and cultivation resources that you don't have since the moment he was born, shouldn't he be stronger than you? If the conditions are equal, I believe you will be better than him. ”

"Besides, he is thirteen years old this year, and you are only eleven years old, and you will be compared to him today in two years, who is stronger and who is weak, it is not certain."

"Hmm-" Jiang Huiyin stared blankly at the sunset, and a smile suddenly bloomed on his face, "I was very envious when I saw him wearing a military uniform, and now I don't envy him." ”

This reaction surprised Jiang Mubai, he couldn't keep up with the little girl's jumping thinking, and asked suspiciously, "Why?" ”

"He has a good grandfather, and I also have a good brother, so I don't have to envy him. It's not a big deal for him to open his knack early, anyway, it's not as great as opening seven knots in a month. Jiang Huiyin grinned and buried her head in Jiang Mubai's arms.

Jiang Mubai laughed heartily, he thought that this setback would make Jiang Huiyin depressed, and even leave a psychological shadow, but now it seems that it is purely a blind worry.

"Huiyin."

"Huh?"

"Do you remember when you signed up, I told you that our lives would get better and better?"

"Yes." Jiang Huiyin raised his legs and lay on the bench, the back of his head rested on Jiang Mubai's thighs, and said while recalling, "You said that I don't have to worry about travel expenses, accommodation, target specialists, and nutritionists, you will find a way." ”

"I didn't lie to you."

"Uh-huh!"

"Then I'm telling you now, our life will be better in the future, I will create a better environment for you, and fight for more resources for you, do you believe it?"

"Believe!" Jiang Huiyin didn't think about it, and then shrunk his neck, "But I don't want to be a burden to you anymore." ”

The real Jiang Mubai once gave up the opportunity to enter the Tianda Martial Academy for her, and this matter was deeply imprinted in her heart, although it was rarely mentioned, it was always unforgettable.

"What nonsense, okay, pack up your mood, practice with peace of mind, and wait for next year's blockbuster!"

"Okay—"

"By the way, you want to practice guns?"

"Huh? Oh, yes! Sister Qiu told me that there is a special recruitment quota in the military department of the dean of martial arts, and as long as I practice my gun well, no matter what my grades in other subjects are, the martial arts academy will admit me. ”

Jiang Mubai has heard of this, Ye Da and Tianda Martial Arts Seminaries both have five departments: short soldier department, long soldier department, odd soldier department, soft soldier department and trick weapon department - strange soldier is the abbreviation of strange weapons, and trick soldiers refer to hidden weapons - among them, only the long soldier department and the trick soldier department have special recruitment quotas.

It seems that the little girl is planning to give up liberal arts and science subjects and focus on martial arts.

Jiang Mubai nodded and said, "Okay, tomorrow my brother will go and buy you a good gun." ”

"Really? Thank you, brother! ”

"Don't, stop! Don't kiss, you're a big girl now. ”

As the sun set to the west, the night began, and the brother and sister sat on the bench laughing and laughing, not noticing that a silver-haired man with red eyes stood ten meters behind them.

The silver-haired man watched the two of them silently, as if he didn't want to disturb the moment of warmth.

When Jiang Mubai stood up and was about to leave, he stepped forward with a disturbing smile.
