Chapter 2: Xiao Jiu is unjustly punished
rubbed his steps, and finally stepped forward nervously.
"Master."
"Xiao Jiu, now that your master has returned to chaos, you are the most painful person in her life, so it is decided for the teacher, and you will drag the soul of your master for you in seven days!"
At this moment, no matter how stupid he was, he could still hear the meaning of Master's words.
What does Master mean that Master is dead?
As soon as he heard Master's words, the little guy's heart suddenly hurt, and his little body suddenly curled up.
When the knees that had been punished by the Master for kneeling before collided with the ground again, they suddenly emitted a piercing pain.
The little guy suddenly let out a "wow-" and burst into tears.
Seeing this, the brothers and sisters also sobbed one after another.
He has never seen his biological parents since he was a child, and in his heart, he has long regarded his teacher as his own mother.
Now that he suddenly got this bad news, he was naturally grief-stricken and cried to death.
"Master...... You don't ...... every time Can you successfully rescue Shi Niang? Why? Why this time...... Can't it? ”
The little guy blurred a pair of teary eyes, and while sobbing, he raised his head and questioned the chief of the mountain.
"Xiao Jiu! Stop it! ”
This question made the chief of the mountain instantly teary-eyed, and the senior brother on the side hurriedly waved his hand to signal him to retreat.
But Xiao Jiu was already in tears at this moment, and his tears were like a flood that had opened the floodgates, and he was out of control.
The little man could barely see the face of the master standing in front of the long table, the face that was originally full of vitality and a gentle smile, but at the moment it was extremely stiff and cold.
"Master! Master, I'm Xiao Jiu, look at me! Master! ”
wiped his face with his sleeve indiscriminately, and I don't know if it was snot or saliva.
"Little Jiu!"
Seeing that the little guy was so sad, the fifth senior brother stepped forward at some point, squatted down, took him into his arms, and kept stroking his back to comfort him.
"That's it! Don't cry, good! ”
In fact, the fifth senior brother was also very sad, but in order to comfort Xiao Jiu, he hid the sadness in his heart.
After tossing for most of the night, the rest of the senior brothers were instructed by the master to prepare a coffin for the master, but Xiao Jiu was still crying there with snot and tears, I don't know if it was snot or tears, in short, all of them rubbed on the fifth senior brother's robe.
It wasn't until dawn that the little one fell asleep in tears.
In her sleep, Shi Niang always smiled at him, opened her arms to him, and gently called "Xiao Jiu." ”
It's just that a dream is a dream after all, and the master is still gone after all.
I don't know how long it took, when Xiao Jiu woke up again, the entire Qingyou Sect hung up and down with white sails.
Everyone also changed into mourning clothes.
"Xiao Jiu! This is a mourning dress for you! Maybe it's a little bigger, so you can change it on! ”
It didn't take long for the fifth senior brother to put the neatly folded mourning clothes in his hand at his feet, and after telling everything, he turned around and went out.
Looking at the snow-white burlap fabric, he seemed to gradually accept the fact that his master had passed away.
However, who was Shi Niang killed? He didn't know anything.
Now that the master has just left, he naturally doesn't dare to run over and ask the master like this, and the senior brother is leading all the brothers to help prepare for the funeral ceremony of the master at the moment, and he doesn't dare to come forward to disturb.
In this way, after a few days of drowsiness, many high-ranking people came to Pari one after another who heard the news and came to mourn.
No matter how you say it, the Qingyou faction has some prestige in the rivers and lakes, so except for a few sects that live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, almost all the heads of all sizes have arrived.
But for a few days, the chief of the mountain has been immersed in grief, and all the entertainment in the faction has been handed over to the senior brother to deal with.
"Xiao Jiu, tomorrow will be the first seven of Shi Niang, Master has a life, and you are responsible for dragging the soul of Shi Niang to guide the way."
This is the rule of the Qing Quiet sect for a long time, once someone dies in the door, it is necessary for his closest junior to be responsible for dragging the soul to guide the way, and the rest of the people are responsible for carrying the coffin to follow.
"I see, big brother. I don't know, where is Master going to bury Master? ”
Although he was still afraid of this, when he thought of how well Shi Niang treated him before his death, Xiao Jiu stiffened his chest calmly.
"Shaoqing, I will ask your second junior brother to take you to recognize the road first, so as not to go wrong tomorrow."
Xiao Jiu clenched his fists tightly and nodded solemnly.
After the senior brother finished explaining, he went to work on other things, leaving Xiao Jiu standing alone in place.
"Senior Brother Nine! Ninth Senior Brother! What do you think I've caught? ”
Just as he was stunned thoughtfully, Weitong suddenly jumped up and down holding a pigeon in both hands, and took it to Xiao Jiu as if offering a treasure.
This stinky boy, he loves him the most on weekdays, and now that his mother has just died, he still has the heart to have fun.
Xiao Jiu was angry, stretched out his hand and waved hard, and the dying pigeon was instantly brushed to the ground.
"Shi Niang's bones are not cold now! You stinky boy! I even have the heart to catch pigeons! What a wolf-hearted little wolf cub! ”
Xiao Jiu, who is usually not so bold to reprimand people, but maybe because he was angry today, he put on a straight face for a while, and he was so frightened that Weitong cried "Wow, wow, wow".
When he cried like this, almost everyone's eyes were drawn.
The third senior brother loves this little guy the most on weekdays, and when he saw Wei Tong sitting on the ground wiping his tears, he rushed forward unhappily and grabbed Xiao Jiu's collar and shouted:
"Xiao Jiu, what have you done? Relying on himself being two years older than Weitong, is it right to bully him like this? Do you still have any rules? ”
Xiao Jiu was originally timid, and when he was carried by the third senior brother like a chicken, he was naturally trembling with fright.
"I ...... I didn't bully him...... It's ...... him."
"Third Senior Brother! It was Senior Brother Nine who bullied me, he just ...... Beat all my newfound babies to death, woo-woo-"
This Weitong doesn't look at people small, but he is a special lord who loves to sue.
Now that he saw that the third senior brother had come to defend him, his crying was even louder, and his aggrieved expression seemed to have really done something to him.
At that time, all the senior brothers also rushed over when they heard the sound.
In the end, it was the fifth senior brother who stepped forward and persuaded the third senior brother to leave.
"Okay, Third Senior Brother, Xiao Jiu is just a child, don't be like this."
"Humph! This kid, not to mention his blunt qualifications, dares to bully his fellow disciples like this, it's really hateful! If he is allowed to grow up, how can he still get it? ”
The third senior brother was furious and scolded viciously at him.
The fifth senior brother was good-natured and silently picked up the pigeon on the ground and returned it to Weitong's hands.
"Well, little brother, you see, isn't this pigeon still alive? Here! ”
Wei Tong saw that Xiao Jiu was not punished, and cried even more, so he simply pulled the pigeon in the fifth senior brother's hand to the ground again.
"Don't, don't! It's Senior Brother Nine who bullied me, you must punish him!! ”
This Weitong doesn't look small, but the voice is big and amazing. I didn't want to make a fuss and make a noise from the backyard.
Seeing Weitong sitting on the ground and wailing, the chief of the mountain immediately straightened his face, stepped forward in three or two steps, and when everyone was caught off guard, "Bang!" A slap down.
Feeling the pain in his face, Xiao Jiu gritted his teeth, and tears instantly filled his eyes.
This slap fell, and everyone present was stunned, and the most proud was Weitong's stinky boy.
"Division...... Master......"
Xiao Jiu was completely stunned, covering his cheek on one side, and looked at the master with a timid expression.
In the past, as long as the master wanted to beat him, the master would always protect him, and it was the first time in so many years that he was beaten so hard by the master.
I saw that the eyes of the chief of the mountain were bloodshot, his lips trembled slightly, and the hand that hit him just now was also shaking constantly.
"Xiao Jiu! Are you wrong? ”
This questioning made him extremely aggrieved, biting his lower lip tightly, looking at the master with stubborn eyes, but he refused to admit his mistake.
If you know what happened today, you don't blame me. He thought to himself.
Master is always like this, he is biased, but he treats him like a stepson.
If it weren't for the fact that his master had taken care of him for so many years, he would have been kicked out of the school by his master a long time ago.
Seeing that Xiao Jiu was silent for a long time, the anger of the mountain road came from it, and he wanted to fall again with a wave of his big hand.
And this time, he was stopped halfway by the fifth senior brother.
"Master! Spare Xiao Jiu! Shi Niang loved Xiao Jiu the most during her lifetime, if Shi Niang was still there, she would never agree to you to beat Xiao Jiu like this! ”
The fifth senior brother's words really worked, and as soon as he heard the master's mother, the anger on the master's face subsided by half.
The big hands, which were originally old and powerful, gradually drooped down.
"That's it! Let him go to the ancestral hall and kneel! Kneel for an hour! ”
After speaking, the master did not want to look at him again, and walked towards the backyard step by step with heavy steps.
"Alright, alright! It's all gone! ”
When the senior brother saw that the master was leaving, he also hurriedly told everyone to disperse.
At this moment, Xiao Jiu was still stubbornly looking at the back of the master's departure, motionless.
"Senior Brother Nine! Master said it! Let you go to the ancestral hall to kneel! What are you doing here? ”
The smug voice behind him sounded, which made Xiao Jiu, who was already aggrieved, even more angry, turned around, and looked at this kid who was a head shorter than him viciously.
"You're still staring! See if I don't tell Master to go! ”
This guy pointed at Xiao Jiu's nose with one hand on his waist, not afraid of his eyes.
"Alright, junior brother! Let's go play elsewhere! Stop bullying you Senior Brother Nine! ”
The fifth senior brother really couldn't look at it, so he stepped forward and took Xiao Jiu's little hand and faced the Wei passage behind him.
After finishing speaking, Xiao Jiu followed the fifth senior brother and entered the ancestral hall again.
Facing the spiritual position of the ancestor of the Qingyou Sect, the grievances in Xiao Jiu's heart intensified, and the fifth senior brother kept chattering in his ear.
"Xiao Jiu, the little junior brother is just a child, when he grows up, he will slowly become sensible, you must not be angry with him, you know? Moreover, the master didn't mean to beat you today, maybe it was because the master left suddenly, and the blow to him was too great, so he missed for a while. As a disciple of the master, you must not hold a grudge against him......"
He couldn't listen to the latter words at all, his left face was hot and painful, and the scene of the master slapping him was replayed in front of his eyes over and over again.
"Fifth Senior Brother, I want to stay alone for a while, you go out and get busy first!"
For the first time, he didn't want the fifth senior brother to accompany him when he was punished.
The fifth senior brother looked at him deeply, nodded, and sighed:
"That's it! I have other things to do, so I won't accompany you for now. ”
"Hmm."
Absentmindedly responded, and it wasn't until after the fifth senior brother left that two lines of hot tears rolled down from his eyes in an instant.
