Zhu Xiaoyang's courage is relatively small, no matter how angry he is, he will not run away from home.

As Xia Suxing expected, he was hiding in a corner of the thatch nearby, and the non-stop sobbing was the only noise in the night.

"Do you know it's wrong?"

Xia Suxing walked over, stopped about half a meter away from Zhu Xiaoyang, and squatted down.

Zhu Xiaoyang couldn't stop sobbing, and after hearing his voice, he cried even louder.

"Then you can continue to cry, and I'll go back first. ”

He pretended to stand up and was about to leave.

"Brother Su Xing is a bastard!"

Who knew that Zhu Xiaoyang scolded scolding, which caught him off guard for a while.

He stopped, turned around and asked, "Then tell me, who is your hero?"

Zhu Xiaoyang looked up at him, his eyes glistening with tears, and muttered, "Brother Su Xing.. ..”

Xia Suxing frowned slightly, "Then am I a bastard or a hero?"

Zhu Xiaoyang recalled: "When my grandfather was still there, he told me and my sister stories about you, and he said that you were the strongest and bravest child in our village. ”

"Huh?"

"Grandpa told us that when you were a child, you were often bullied by other children in the village, but you never cried and never talked about these things to Uncle Zhao. ”

"It's not being strong, it's not being brave. ”

"What's that?"

"Maybe it's just cowardice, Xiaoyang, if you are bullied, you must not bear it silently, you have many, many people who want to protect you, you know?"

Xiaoyang knows. ”

Xia Suxing laughed lightly and asked, "Xiaoyang, do you think you are a hero?"

Zhu Xiaoyang didn't answer, just lowered his head and played with his fingers.

Xia Suxing told him, "Xiaoyang, you are also a little hero, but little hero, you have done a stupid thing today, Brother Tie Luo is your elder and our guest, why are you angry with Brother Tie Luo?"

"But... But he rejected me. "I wish Xiaoyang aggrieved.

"I know that you want to leave the cabbage village with us, and your heart has always kept a sense of freshness in the outside world, full of novelty and yearning, but the outside world is dangerous and ups and downs, and you are still young and have no ability to protect yourself. ”

"But you!"

"It's different, Xiaoyang, you haven't understood the relationship between life and survival. ”

"What's the relationship?"

"If you want to survive, then you can only be alone, the only one who can protect you is yourself, and the whole world can hurt you. ”

"Brother Su Xing, you are wrong, Xiaoyang believes that no matter when and where you are, the person who hurt me is definitely not you, my sister, and Uncle Zhao. ”

Xia Suxing smiled warmly, "Naturally, absolutely not." ”

Only then did he realize that the great truth he had just talked about was not applicable to Zhu Xiaoyang.

The world of children is so simple and simple, if it is restrained by the thoughts of adults, it is equivalent to polluting those clear eyes.

Zhu Xiaoyang said arrogantly: "Brother Su Xing, with me, no one will bully you anymore." ”

"Come on, come on, since you bit Aunt Wang's Xiao Huang to death, the dogs in our cabbage village have now taken a detour when they see you, and you really have a mouthful. Xia Suxing said in disgust.

Zhu Xiaoyang was very angry, "It bit me first!"

He has an outgoing personality and is a lively and active little fat man, but he has a very poor temperament and is not calm enough to be a governor.

After all, he was still a little kid, Xia Suxing didn't blame him too much, but just asked him to sincerely apologize to Tie Luo and strive for his forgiveness.

Zhu Xiaoyang quickly figured it out, and hugged Tie Luo as soon as he returned home, which was his unique way of apologizing.

As for Tie Luo, his heart is surprisingly big, and he doesn't take it to heart at all.

That night, Zhu Xiaoxue was still young and didn't understand the difference between men and women, so she asked to sleep in the same room as Xia Suxing.

Xia Suxing asked, "Xiaoxue, what's wrong with you?"

Zhu Xiaoxue replied: "I'm just worried that it will take you a long, long time to go home, and I want to talk to you more." ”

Xia Suxing squatted down and scratched the bridge of her nose, "What's wrong?"

Zhu Xiaoxue shook her head, "It's not!"

Xia Suxing smiled dotingly, "Then it's up to you, how about it?"

Zhu Xiaoxue smiled, was overjoyed, and nodded vigorously again and again.

In the hut, Xia Suxing brought a basin of hot water and washed Zhu Xiaoxue's feet with his own hands.

Zhu Xiaoxue's feet are very white and petite, and the two feet together are comparable to Xia Suxing's palms.

In Xia Suxing's eyes, Zhu Xiaoxue has already become his dearest, and he especially likes this sensible and well-behaved little girl.

Maybe Zhu Xiaoxue is too sensible and reasonable, so that the people around her can easily ignore her feelings.

"Xiaoxue, when you grow up, when I get old, you have to wash my feet, you know?"

"Then have you washed Uncle Zhao's feet?"

"Not really, you're still the first. ”

"Then I will also be the first person to wash Brother Su Xing's feet. ”

"Okay. ”

Zhu Xiaoxue smiled sullenly and asked, "Brother Su Xing, what is the outside world like?"

Xia Suxing used a footcloth to dry the water on her feet, then picked her up, put her on the bed steadily, and pulled the cover for her.

Xia Suxing replied: "The outside world has the tranquility of the countryside, the prosperity of the capital, the oil, salt and sauce of ordinary people, the brocade clothes and food of the aristocracy, the streets and alleys. ”

Zhu Xiaoxue said: "When I become a long-cherished teacher, I must go far, far away to see people coming and going, the tide rising and falling, and things being wrong." ”

"That's what you aspire to?"

"It's not. ”

"And what do you yearn for?"

If the ideal comes true, I will proudly tell everyone that if the ideal dies halfway, I will quietly bury it in the ground and wait for it to rot slowly. ”

Zhu Xiaoxue pursed her lips and continued: "I heard Uncle Zhao say that the Luxury Star Academy is the best school in the Luxury Star Realm, and the Star Peak Group is the most amazing existence in the Luxury Star Realm. ”

Xia Suxing smiled slightly, "There are only seven people in the Star Peak Group, but their future shoulders are on the Luxury Star Realm. ”

Zhu Xiaoxue looked at him worriedly, and said with a worried brow: "Uncle Zhao also said that no member of the Star Summit Group in history is complete in the end, and no member of the Star Summit Group can all survive, and this is the 48th Star Summit Group, and the same is true." ”

Xia Suxing touched her head and smiled stupidly, "So this is your heart!"

"Don't worry, our Star Summit Group is an exception. ”

"I know, I know that Brother Su Xing is a very powerful master, but you also have to remember to protect yourself!"

Zhu Xiaoxue's words were slightly crying, she was uneasy in her heart, she was afraid that this day would come sooner or later, she was worried that she would completely lose Xia Suxing.

"Well, this one is for you. Xia Suxing took out a dark gray stone flower from the core ring and handed it to her.

The petals of the stone flower are stretched, do not smell the fragrance, do not see the color of the flower, except for the delicacy of the carving, you can't find any uniqueness about it.

Xia Suxing introduced: "This is the dry stone flower, I have injected my blood into it, if there is really one day, I completely leave you and leave the world, then this dry stone flower will bloom, its petals will be exceptionally bright, and it will be surprisingly beautiful." ”

Zhu Xiaoxue carefully carried the dry stone flower, and set her eyes on the dry stone flower, for fear that it would be damaged in the slightest.

She was still apprehensive, but she knew that all her worries were to no avail.

Xia Suxing took a cotton blanket from the core ring and spread it on a corner of the ground, this is where he will sleep tonight.

Zhu Xiaoxue said: "Brother Su Xing, you can sleep with Xiaoxue!"

"Your bed is too small, where is my place! I'd better sleep comfortably. ”

His explanation is obviously a bit far-fetched, it can be different between men and women, and Zhu Xiaoxue has also reached the age of separating beds.

Zhu Xiaoxue was slightly disappointed, "Brother Su Xing, do you remember the story of that little monk?"

"Remember, what? Do you still want to hear it?"

"Mmmm, I'm asleep in the back, I don't know what the ending is. ”

"It's a long story, and you'll have to fall asleep after listening to it later. ”

"I promise I won't fall asleep!" Zhu Xiaoxue's Qianqian thin hands overlapped on the cotton blanket on her chest, her eyes blazing.

Xia Suxing smiled softly, "Where was the last time?"

"I'm going to listen from the beginning. ”

Xia Suxing followed her wishes and began to speak: "Once upon a time, there was a little monk, he was very fond of the little dream beast, one day, he picked up a very cute little dream beast at the door of the temple, he was very happy, so he showed off to the senior brothers everywhere. ”

But the brothers all said that it was a flower pig, and said that they would get this flower pig to stew meat to eat and open the meat, which made the little monk anxious, and he hurriedly hid the little beast. ”

Then, he secretly fed the little dream beast that looked like a flower pig in the backyard alone, and about two years later, the little dream beast grew up a little bit. ”

"On this day, a white-bearded Taoist came to the temple, and he happened to bump into the little monk and the little beast, and he told the little monk that the little beast came from another world and was a hoodoo.

At this point in the story, Zhu Xiaoxue's eyes have been closed.

Xia Suxing shook his head and smiled, "Such a boring story, it's hard to sleep if you don't want to... ..”

He kissed Zhu Xiaoxue's forehead, "Xiaoxue, may you have less sorrow and more joy for the rest of your life, this is my greatest expectation for you." ”

The candlelight swayed in the breeze, and through the gaps in the wooden ceiling, you could see the brilliant light and shadow of the stars and moon.

The dream imprinted in the depths of the soul is still sleeping, there will always be that blurred back, the upright posture flashes in the dream, and you can never see the person's expression, but you can clearly feel the person's sadness and helplessness.

He is powerful enough to be admired by the world, but he is as humble as ant dust.
