Chapter 8: The Moonlit Night
But no matter how much he shouted, the staff leader walked away without looking back. Helpless, Mo Yi could only follow behind Shangguan Jiyue, who was calm and relaxed, and looked back at the training ground behind him as he walked. There, the soldiers who had changed into military uniforms were practicing under the high autumn sun, their figures like clouds and shouting like thunder.
"Bang!" In the kitchen in the corner of the barracks, Mo Yi stretched his face and cut a big cabbage on the board into two halves with a knife, and the round half cabbage turned half a circle, and it was about to roll down.
"Do you have a grudge against it?" Shangguan Jiyue casually put the half of the cabbage back on the board, looked at Mo Yi and asked.
Mo Yi angrily threw the kitchen knife in his hand on the board and shouted: "The master is here to kill the enemy, not to be a cook!" ”
"Kill? Do you know why we are placed as handymen in the kitchen? ”
"Why?"
Shangguan Jiyue glanced at Mo Yi lightly, and said, "You don't know anything, and you still go into battle to kill the enemy?" You can't lift your hands, you can't carry your shoulders, you must be a pampered rich boy on weekdays, I think even if you arrive in front of the battle, you will only be killed! ”
"You...... You...... You ......" Mo Yi pointed at Shangguan Jiyue and didn't find any reason to refute it for a long time, so he couldn't help but drop his shoulders and said dejectedly, "Forget it, if you don't have the same knowledge as you, aren't you yourself the same as me." At the same time, the end of the world has fallen into people, why is it too anxious to fry each other? ”
"You don't have to be discouraged, as long as you have the strength, then one day you will get your wish."
"Really?"
"What's in it for me to lie to you?" Shangguan Jiyue paused before continuing, "I once read a miscellaneous book, saying that there was a temple in ancient times, and the temple was presided over by warrior monks, down to ordinary monks, even if it was a sweeping monk, all of them were extraordinary in martial arts, and they were all hidden, do you know why?" ”
"Why?"
"That's because they are diligent and diligent, sweeping the floor is regarded as practice, cooking is also regarded as practice, chopping wood and carrying water is still practice. So, if you really have the ambition to sleep for two hours less at night, how about I practice with you? ”
"You're practicing with me?" Mo Yi looked at Shangguan Jiyue suspiciously, looked her up and down for a long time, wilted like a frosted eggplant, and said, "Just your little body, it will be broken when you pinch it, and you will accompany the master to practice, come on!" ”
"It's not up to you to pinch the broken pieces, tonight, we'll see you in the practice factory!"
"Still not convinced? If you lose, you have to call me the big brother, and the master will cover you in the future! ”
When Shangguan Jiyue heard this, she not only laughed and said, "Then what if you lose?" ”
"If the master loses, I will worship you as my brother and listen to you for the rest of my life!"
"Okay, then it's decided, I'm older than you, and you should call me brother."
"Cut! I don't know who will kill the deer, don't get complacent too soon! Mo Yi looked at Shangguan Jiyue with a confident look on his face indignantly, picked up the kitchen knife on the board indignantly, and continued to cut his cabbage.
The sun was setting in the west, night was falling, the sky was bent like a hook, a few stars were dotted, and the training ground that had been noisy for a day was dark and quiet at this time, leaving only a few spears and scarecrows on the blade rack isolated alone in the night wind.
The candlelight in the surrounding barracks had been extinguished, and the snoring gradually started, and at this time, two black shadows were approaching the drill factory in the faint moonlight.
"Are we really going? What if we are caught and we are thieves? ”
"The thief is not as stupid as you think, go to the place where the soldiers and horses are stationed in the barracks and steal!"
"That's right, the master is all angry today, it's the first time to be a cook when he's so big, and it's still a cook for a group of men!"
As they spoke, the two of them had already walked to a nearby weapon rack, Shangguan Jiyue casually took a spear from the shelf, checked it in his hand, took a few steps forward and handed it to Mo Yi, and said, "You can use it." ”
"What about you? What do you use? ”
"This."
Mo Yi took a closer look, Shangguan Jiyue took out a black elongated object from behind him, and after he saw it clearly, he not only shouted: "What?!" Burning sticks?! ”
"You're enough to win this one." Shangguan Jiyue pointed to the two scarecrows more than a dozen steps away from the two of them, and said slowly, "See?" Whoever goes over and pierces the scarecrow first wins. ”
"The master will win in a while, don't say that the master bullies you!"
"Let's go!"
With a wave of the spear in his hand, Mo Yi stabbed at the scarecrow in front of him.
At this time, Shangguan Jiyue stood in place and did not move, only waiting for the spear in Mo Yi's hand to stab the scarecrow, then gathered internal force, and when the footsteps moved slightly, the person had turned into a phantom and floated forward, and the burning stick in his hand seemed to be sharper than the sharp sword with the blade, and the end of the stick pointed out, before he could reach the front, the sturdy scarecrow was hit by the air current, and the straw scattered with a "bang", and Shangguan Jiyue withdrew the stick in his hand calmly in the straw that fell one after another. Looking at Mo Yi, who opened his mouth wide to the side, he was already sluggish.
The spear in Mo's hand still maintained the posture of stabbing forward, but he looked in the direction of Shangguan Jiyue with a stunned expression, and under a closer look, the strange posture of his body was a little distorted and deformed, which made people laugh.
"You...... You...... Martial arts?! ”
"A little."
"However, you didn't tell the master that you would do martial arts!"
"You didn't ask."
"You...... You're cheating, you know...... You know?! ”
"Soldiers, treacherous. Therefore, it can be shown that it cannot be used, and it is not used to show it, and it is not prepared to attack it, and it is unexpected. Soldiers don't get tired of cheating, this is the battlefield! This is the art of war! ”
At this time, the faint moonlight shone on Shangguan Jiyue's body, as if she was wearing a silver robe, and her obviously slender and weak figure became extremely tall and heroic at this time. So much so that many years later, when Mo Yi was the commander of the First Army, whenever he recalled this moonlit night, he still remembered it vividly and was shocked.
"I am willing to lose the bet, Brother Qi, please accept the worship of the younger brother!" Mo Yi knelt down on one knee with a "poof", bowed his hand as a salute, and said sincerely, "I hope that my eldest brother will give me advice in the future and teach me martial arts." ”
"Get up, since you call me brother, I will also recognize you as a brother, and it is okay to teach you martial arts, but you must remember that where force is used, it must be the right way, not for the sake of war, but for the purpose of quelling the war."
"Mo Yi remembers his brother's teachings!"
Shangguan Jiyue looked at the handsome young man in front of him and slowly overlapped with the small figure, a bitterness surged up from the bottom of her heart to her throat, and before she knew it, her eyes were warm and the water was shining. Yun'er, when you grow up, you must be a hot-blooded man like Mo Yi in front of you, the world is vast, can my sister see you again?
