Chapter 41: A New Companion

Xiao Xiaotian has been gone for a month. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info Finally, in the early morning of a misty day, he returned.

Xiao Wenlu was practicing when he suddenly heard movement outside. He ran out and opened the door, and saw Xiao Xiaotian standing outside the door covered in dew.

Xiao Wenlu shouted in surprise: "Master, you are back!" ”

Xiao Xiaotian smiled weakly, nodded, and did not speak. At this time, a small black head poked out coldly from behind Xiao Xiaotian, and a pair of big eyes looked at Xiao Xiao curiously and vigilantly asking for directions.

This is a little boy about four or five years old. Xiao Wenlu was stunned for a moment, and asked strangely, "Master, whose child is this?" ”

Xiao Xiaotian waved his hand: "Let's go in and talk about it." With that, he led the little boy into the house, leaving Xiao Wenlu, who was confused, standing in place, and the second monk was confused.

Xiao Xiaotian sat down on a chair in the hall, and Xiao Wenlu immediately brought a cup of tea. Xiao Xiaotian took a few sips, let out a sigh, and coughed a few more times. When Xiao Xiaotian came back this time, Xiao Wenlu felt that he was obviously a lot older again, and his originally tall figure seemed to be a little rickety, coupled with his gray hair, wrinkled face, and poor complexion, Xiao Wenlu always had a faint bad premonition in his heart.

Xiao Xiaotian rested for a while before asking, "During this time, have you listened to Master's words and practiced hard?" ”

Xiao Wenlu replied: "Yes, I spend most of my time practicing every day, and my current skill level is much higher than before, Master will show you when he is free!" ”

Xiao Xiaotian nodded with satisfaction. After thinking about it, he asked again, "You haven't gone out to contact anyone during this time, have you?" ”

Xiao asked Lu Wenyan, his heart sank, and he stopped talking.

Xiao Xiaotian has raised him for so many years, and his every move can't escape Xiao Xiaotian's eyes. As soon as he saw Xiao Wenlu's appearance, he immediately asked urgently, "What, you went out?" What happened? ”

Xiao couldn't help asking for directions, his eyes were red, and he replied in a choked voice: "Dayou...... Great...... Nope. ”

Xiao Xiaotian was so anxious that his white hair trembled: "You have a lot of contact?" ”

Xiao asked for directions and didn't speak, his head hung low, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

Xiao Xiaotian didn't say anything. In the middle of the day, he let out a long sigh. I only heard him say tiredly: "Ah Lu, Master doesn't let you contact others, because you have a last resort. Come, Master has found a companion for you, you can get acquainted with it, and in the future, when Master is gone, it is good that there will be someone by your side to accompany and take care of you. ”

After that, he pulled the little boy who had been standing quietly aside in front of him, and said to Xiao Wenzhi: "He is also an orphan, I will bring him back to you as a companion, you have to care more about him and take care of him." Also, I want you to teach him all the tricks I have taught you, and you must do your best, strictly supervise, and never have any negligence or reservation. When he has the ability, even if the master is no longer by your side in the future, you will be able to help more than one person. ”

The last sentence was quite a bit of a dying last word, Xiao Wenlu was suddenly shocked, grabbed Xiao Xiaotian's hand, and said in a trembling voice: "Master, you ...... What do you mean! ”

Xiao Xiaotian waved his hand and only said, "Okay, I want to take a break." You lead this child to familiarize himself with the environment, and let him sleep with you in the future. ”

Xiao Xiaotian's back disappeared behind the bedroom door. Xiao Wenlu looked at the door, his heart full of heavy worry. Suddenly, he felt a chill behind him, and when he looked back, the little boy was standing behind him, staring at him coldly with a pair of beautiful eyes, and said nothing.

This child is only so young, why is his eyes so cold? Xiao couldn't help but think to himself.

He stepped forward and touched the little boy's head, trying to make his voice sound kind and soft: "Little brother, how old are you?" What is your name? ”

The little boy glared at him: "I don't know how old I am or what my name is." ”

The child's voice was cold, as if it came from the ice cellar, and Xiao Wenlu was chilled when he heard it. Maybe he just came here and was more afraid of life, so he was so nervous and guarded. Xiao Wenlu thought so, so he took the little boy's hand and took him around inside and outside the house, patiently taking him to familiarize himself with the environment. During the whole process, although the little boy was silent, it could be seen that he listened very seriously, but the deep vigilance in his eyes was not lifted at all.

After Xiao Xiaotian came back, he stayed in the bedroom and didn't come out. Xiao asked for directions to bring him food, only to see him lying on the bed, his face was yellow, and he was sick. Xiao Wenlu was anxious and said, "Master, we have to go to the doctor quickly." ”

Xiao Xiaotian just waved his hand and said weakly: "It's useless, don't look at it." ”

Xiao Wenlu wanted to continue to persuade him, but Xiao Xiaotian had already closed his eyes and ignored him. In the next few days, Xiao Wenlu kept trying to persuade Xiao Xiaotian to go to the hospital, but Xiao Xiaotian resolutely refused every time. Seeing that Xiao Xiaotian was withering day by day, Xiao Wenlu finally made up his mind not to sit idly by, and found a doctor for him to come back without Xiao Xiaotian.

As soon as Xiao Xiaotian saw the doctor enter the door, he was so angry that his beard turned up, and he drove the doctor out of the door without saying anything, and then scolded Xiao Wenlu again.

Seeing Xiao Wenlu's aggrieved look, Xiao Xiaotian stopped scolding, sighed, and went back to his room.

That night, after Xiao Wenlu brought dinner to Xiao Xiaotian's room, he was taking the little boy to practice. Although this little boy is only four or five years old, he is talented and intelligent, and no matter how difficult the method is, he can learn it immediately, which makes Xiao Wenlu, the little master, feel quite accomplished in his heart. It's just that this kid's personality is too cold, Xiao Wenlu tried his best, but he couldn't get close to him, plus he didn't know how to deal with such a young child, so he had to give up the idea of getting close to him and concentrate on teaching him tricks.

After teaching for a while, the two of them were adjusting their breath when they suddenly heard Xiao Xiaotian shouting loudly: "Ah Lu! Come here! ”

Xiao asked for directions and hurriedly ran to Xiao Xiao's heavenly room, and the little boy also followed. Xiao Xiaotian lay on the bed and beckoned to Xiao for directions, signaling him to come over. Seeing the little boy following behind, Xiao Xiaotian's face sank: "You go out." When the little boy heard this, he immediately disappeared behind the door with a blank face.

Xiao Wenlu closed the door and sat on the edge of Xiao Xiaotian's bed. Xiao Xiaotian's complexion was even worse, his face was pale and purple, and he couldn't stop coughing in his mouth.

Xiao Xiaotian raised his dull eyes, looked at Xiao and asked for directions: "Ah Lu, how are you doing with that child?" ”

Xiao Wenlu knew that he was asking the little boy, so he replied: "This child is very smart, he can teach everything at once, and he is very obedient, and he never needs me to worry about him." It's just that he doesn't like to talk much, and I still don't know what his name is or how old he is. ”

"He's five years old, he's an orphan, he doesn't have a name, you can give him one."

"Okay, I'll think about it when I go back and give him a nice name." Xiao asked for directions and agreed.

Xiao Xiaotian smiled weakly, and suddenly asked a strange question: "Ah Lu, do you hate Master?" ”

Xiao Wenlu thought he had heard it wrong: "Master, what did you say, how could I hate you?" ”

Xiao Xiaotian closed his eyes: "Don't you remember the night of the birthday banquet?" ”

Xiao asked for directions: "I remember some, but not all of them." Every time I think about it, I immediately get a headache. ”

Xiao Xiaotian nodded lightly: "Then do you want to know, why didn't Master let you go out to meet other people, and why did your good friend Chen Dayou suddenly die of illness?" ”

Xiao Wenlu breathed a sigh of relief: "I want to ...... Wonder. A faint uneasiness began to swirl in his mind.

Xiao Xiaotian closed his eyes, and his voice was fluttering, as if he was talking in a dream: "Ah Lu, you should hate Master." I'll tell you exactly what happened that night. ”
