Chapter 21: Big Trouble
Xiao Jiu knew that the master was reluctant to eat those things that made up for his body on weekdays, but after Xiao Jiu was injured, he gave them to his disciples without reservation. Although it was all a fake hand, Xiao Jiu knew that the master was really distressed about Xiao Jiu. The reason why Xiao Jiu didn't know that it was sent by the master was because he was afraid that Xiao Jiu would not repent and make mistakes again, and Xiao Jiu knew that Xiao Jiu was very grateful, so he ignored the scars on his body and came to see the master, and came to thank the master for his hard work. ”
Qing Yuan's eyes were full of tears when he said this, and all the anger he had had before had disappeared.
"Humph! You stinky boy, count yourself on your conscience! If you really know how to be grateful, you should cause less trouble for your teacher in the future, and save yourself from always working hard for you! ”
It seems that Xiao Jiu, this kid has really grown up. In the past, he always thought he was an ignorant child, but before he knew it, he had grown into an adult.
"Yes, the disciple should remember the Master's teachings and ...... in the future Try to annoy Master as little as possible......"
Xiao Jiu suddenly remembered something, and then immediately got up from the ground and said:
"Master, Xiao Jiu has something to ask for."
"Speak!" Hearing this, Qing Yuan walked back to the main seat in three or two steps, and sat down.
"Xiao Jiu begged the master to allow the apprentice to go down the mountain to visit his father."
As soon as these words came out, Qing Yuan was stunned, and then pointed at Xiao Jiu with his eyebrows and shouted:
"Who got you up? On your knees! ”
Xiao Jiu knelt down according to his words, thinking to himself, as long as the master allowed him to go home, he would be able to say anything.
But he didn't want to kneel down, but Qing Yuan refused.
"Still thinking about going down the mountain? Don't! "This stinky boy, his heart is always not on the mountain. I just ran away from the mountain a few days ago, and I've only been back for a few days! Before the injury was healed, I thought about going down the mountain again! "You kid can't learn anything, and you still have the face to go down the mountain? What kind of face do you have to go to see Master Meng? Well? ”
What Master said was reasonable, but he always wanted to ask his father what the origin of the pendant around his neck was.
But if he directly said to the master that he went down the mountain just to find out the origin of the pendant, the master would never let himself go down the mountain.
Thinking like this, Xiao Jiu took advantage of the master's unpreparedness and poked hard at the wound on his back.
It didn't matter if he poked it, he gasped in pain, and tears instantly filled his entire eye socket.
"Master, Xiao Jiu has followed Master up the mountain since he was a child, and he hasn't returned to the manor for four years and seven months. Xiao Jiu just wanted to go back to visit his father and beg Master to fulfill it. ”
After a few words, tears slipped out of his eyes, looking at Qing Yuan's eyes, he really thought that Xiao Jiu missed his old father so much!
Don't look at Qing Yuan's rough appearance on weekdays, but he is the most soft-hearted.
Hearing Xiao Jiu's tearful pleading, he couldn't bear it after all.
"That's it, you get up first!"
"Master......" Although he heard that Master was relieved, Xiao Jiu still hadn't shown a very happy look, still with an aggrieved expression, and slowly got up from the ground.
"Since you are really homesick, early tomorrow morning, you Senior Brother Yuanchi will accompany you back to the manor!"
Letting Yuan Chi accompany him is also to prevent Xiao Jiu from escaping again.
After all, among the several apprentices, Yuan Chi is the most serious, Xiao Jiu is timid, and with Yuan Chi by his side, he should not dare to escape easily.
"Thank you, Master." As long as the master agrees to let him go down the mountain, he can say anything.
But since there is Senior Brother Yuanchi with him, it is better to let Xiuli stay, anyway, he will come back in a few days after a round trip, and he always feels inconvenient along the way with a woman.
Early the next morning, after having breakfast, Xiao Jiu planned to leave to go down the mountain with Senior Brother Yuanchi.
"Childe, why don't you take Xiuli back to the manor with you?"
After learning that Xiao Jiu planned to let him stay in Xiling Mountain again, Xiuli couldn't hide his frustration and asked.
"It's only been a few days, you're a girl, it's better not to follow me."
In the past six months, Xiao Jiu's height has grown a lot, and he used to look at Xiuli with his head held high, but now, Xiuli has to look up at him.
"But...... You have no one to take care of you along the way, and Xiuli is always uneasy. ”
"Hey, my sister Xiuli, I have Senior Brother Yuanchi to accompany me down the mountain! Put your heart in your belly! ”
After carefully putting the golden sheath dagger that the master gave him into the baggage, Xiao Jiu flashed out of the door of the meditation room, and sure enough, he saw Senior Brother Yuanchi packing up and waiting in the courtyard.
"Second Senior Brother, it's almost over, you can go."
"Hmm." Yuan Chi doesn't talk much on weekdays, and even if he sent tonic medicine when Xiao Jiu was injured before, he always had a straight face and no special expression.
Originally, he accompanied Xiao Jiu down the mountain, but he originally refused, but the master insisted repeatedly, so he had to accompany Xiao Jiu on a trip.
"Childe!! Be careful all the way~Remember to come back early~"
Looking at Xiao Jiu's distant back, Xiuli didn't forget to advise.
"Got it~!"
He is no longer a child, but Sister Xiuli is still nagging like she did when she was a child.
The last time he went down the mountain, he sneaked out by himself, this time it was different, this time he came down the mountain with the token of Xiling Mountain, and his waist was straight.
"Senior Brother Confucian, I'm tired of helping to open the stone door." Handing over the token, Xiao Jiu said respectfully.
"Well, no matter why you came down the mountain, may you get what you want and return safely."
Confucianism doesn't talk much, but it can always hit the softest place in people's hearts and give them warmth.
Out of the stone gate and across the riverbed, Xiao Jiu was always preoccupied along the way, and Yuan Chi followed behind him without saying a word.
It wasn't until the sun went down that the two of them found a small post house at the foot of the mountain and paid the money to stay.
After Xiao Jiu left, Xiling Mountain was as calm as ever.
In the side hall of the Splendid Pavilion, Feng Xi was looking thoughtfully at the fire not far in front of him at the moment, and his little face was red from the firelight.
She rarely used to be in a daze like this, but recently, somehow, every time she thought of Xiao Jiu, she would always be alone for a long time.
"Are you still sulking because this seat didn't let you go down the mountain with Xiao Jiu?"
At the door of the side hall, Jin Chen was walking towards her in plain clothes at the moment, and the expression on his face was neither angry nor angry.
"Master, the disciple doesn't dare to complain about the master."
When Qing Yuan came to ask Jin Chen for a token to go down the mountain, Feng Xi did volunteer to accompany Xiao Jiu down the mountain, but after Qing Yuan refused, she didn't think much about it.
After all, it would be more appropriate to have Senior Brother Yuanchi accompany Xiao Jiu down the mountain together.
"How are you practicing the Magic Breaking Technique and the Pure Yang Flame Palm? Have time to be in a daze, but you understand everything? ”
"Master forgives sins, the apprentice is stupid, please give Fengxi some more time......"
She knew that she was wrong, and in the end, her voice was so small that she couldn't even hear it clearly.
God knows how painful it is for her to keep herself from having feelings that she shouldn't have.
She always restrained herself and did not allow herself to visit Xiao Jiu in the meditation room.
However, the more this happened, the more she missed him.
She couldn't remember how she had fallen in love with this kid. She used to think of him as her brother! What's wrong with her now? It's hard to even control your emotions.
"That's it! If your heart is not here, you will not be embarrassed as a teacher. ”
"Master......"
After feeling the master's disappointment in himself, Feng Xi immediately knelt on the ground in shame, looking at a loss.
In the past, she never disappointed Master.
Her parents died when she was a child, and her grandmother couldn't afford to support her because of her poor family, so she had to send her to the mountains to learn the arts.
Over the years, she has worked very hard, and the master has paid more attention to her than the younger brothers and sisters who started late.
It's just that she never thought that she, who was so good and proud, would be moved by a junior brother of waste wood.
At first, she was very repulsed, thinking that she must be crazy.
But gradually, she found that she couldn't resist her heart at all, perhaps, this is fate!
"Fengxi! The teacher once advised you, don't be stupid, don't mess up, although Xiao Jiu's child is not a big traitor, but your Uncle Yinchen once helped him calculate his life. That kid has an extraordinary life, and his future is limitless. But there is a benefit, there must be a disadvantage, Xiao Jiu is a lone star who came into the world, married a wife and died, and a concubine died. If you insist on being so infatuated, the final result can be imagined. ”
After some words, Jin Chen let out a long sigh, and his eyes were full of distress when he looked at Fengxi.
She knew that even if she reminded her today, if Xiao Jiu was Fengxi's destined love disaster, no one could control it.
But after all, she is Fengxi's master, and she really can't watch her die for love.
"The disciple understands, the master can rest assured, Fengxi will not be the one who fights the fire with the moth."
Feng Xi also understood in her heart that the reason why the master told her about this was that she was afraid that her feelings for Xiao Jiu would fall deeper and deeper.
But although she was full of promises, her heart was always wavering.
If you can control your feelings, what is the use of your heart?
After coming out of the Splendid Pavilion, unconsciously, he came to the vicinity of Xiao Jiu's meditation room.
The little junior brother who lived in the meditation room next to Xiao Jiu came out of the door and saw Feng Xi, and the first thing he said was, "Senior Sister Feng Xi, Senior Brother Xiao Jiu has left." ”
"Oh. I'm not here for him. ”
After hurriedly saying this, Feng Xi turned his head and left.
Walking aimlessly all the way, unconsciously, I actually followed the Xianxi to the edge of the stone cave.
"Fengxi?"
"Senior Brother Confucianism, I ......"
In the past, every time she encountered something difficult to solve, she would always come to Senior Brother Rutian to complain, and over time, it became a habit.
Now that she is trapped by love, there is really no one to say, so she has to come to find Senior Brother Confucianism to solve her doubts.
"Don't open your mouth yet, let me guess why you're so sad."
Ru Tian stepped forward with a faint smile, his eyes staring at Fengxi Dao for a moment.
After staring at Feng Xi's melancholy little face for a long time, Ru Tian finally nodded with a clear expression.
"It seems that Senior Sister Fengxi is in trouble, and it is an unprecedented big trouble."
Before Confucianism finished speaking, Feng Xi was already busy nodding.
"Yes, yes, senior brother, your analysis is too right!" She's in big trouble, big, big trouble. "Senior Brother Confucianism, do you know how to solve such troubles?"
