Chapter 11: Senior Brother
"Haha, it's really strange that there are a lot of them every year!" Luo Ning originally thought that this sentence would make the dean angry, but he didn't expect the dean to laugh instead.
"Luo Ning, I have to accept you, a closed disciple, as a teacher today." The dean happily pulled his three locks of beard.
Luo Ning looked at the old guy in front of him with some surprise, and didn't understand if this old guy was stimulated by something, and actually said such a thing.
"I can teach you piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Qimen Dunjia, arrange troops, teach you to strategize and win thousands of miles away, I can teach you the art of self-defense, and I can teach you to gallop on a war horse. Do you want to learn this? The dean laughed.
"I want to learn the art of self-defense, Qimen Dunjia, the five elements of music and rhythm, and the rest of the things can be dabbled in a little. Also, I want to study medicine! Luo Ning thought for a moment.
"Okay, it's not easy to learn medical skills, as long as you worship me as a teacher, hahahaha!" The dean was overjoyed, and his smile was like he had picked up a gold ingot.
"Disciple Luo Ning has seen the master!" Luo Ning knelt down on one knee.
"Hehe, okay, I'll take it! You three boys go to Jingwutang to study, Luo Ning, you go with me, and your maid will go where she should go. The dean ordered with a smile.
"This time, look at how arrogant that kid is, now I finally received a good disciple, and it is no less than his good foundation." The dean thought triumphantly.
"Teacher, don't think that a girl is a girl, do you think she can surpass me?" The sound of banter suddenly came from outside, and a boy about eleven or twelve years old walked over slowly, still holding two strings of candy in his hand and munching there.
"Senior sister, this is for you!" The boy generously handed over his string of sugar men to Luo Ning.
"Thank you, brother!" Luo Ning was stunned for a moment, why is this person in front of him so familiar?
"Here you go!" The boy reached out and shoved the candy man into Luo Ning's hand and continued to munch.
Luo Ning smiled indifferently, and began to eat candy man, this kind of thing can be called an intangible cultural heritage in the 21st century, but in this ancient period can only be said to be a means of making a living, I have to sigh the wisdom of the ancients, maybe because of the difficulty of life, it has created a rich and colorful species.
The dean was stupid all of a sudden, why were these two children so indifferent?
"Ning'er, you are a girl, so of course the teacher will hurt you more, in the future, pick up water and chop wood, clean up the house, and leave all the cooking to your senior brother." The dean suddenly laughed, and there was a calculating look on his face.
"Thank you, teacher!" Luo Ning smiled indifferently, as if he was not surprised.
The little boy's face only changed slightly, and then he continued to eat his own candy.
"Okay, you all leave first, Dongfang, and take your junior sister to where you are." The dean waved his sleeves and took the lead in leaving.
"Yes!" Fan Xue hurriedly agreed, no matter how you say that her niece was accepted as a personal disciple by the dean, it was a happy thing, but Qian'er was a little depressed. Because I didn't have the ability to serve the lady.
"Qian'er, you follow your young lady and go in!" Suddenly, Qian'er was stunned for a moment, and when she looked up, she didn't see the dean, but what she said just now was obviously the dean's voice.
"Qian'er, what are you waiting for? Why don't you get in now? Fan Xue's footsteps paused, and immediately said to Qian'er.
"Really?" Qian'er's face was overjoyed, and when she looked back, she saw Luo Ning also looking at herself with a smile, although she was a teenager, the warmth in her eyes was the softest place in Qian'er's heart.
"Miss, great, great!" Qian'er's face was smiling like a flower.
"Hmmm! That's nice! Luo Ning also smiled, I don't know why, in this world Luo Ning always feels like an outsider, the loneliness that invades the bones makes Luo Ning feel scared from the heart, maybe everything disappears when he opens his eyes, he is back to the past, back to the hospital for chemotherapy, back to attending the wedding of his beloved. Luo Ning's heart was terrified, and at the same time, it was extremely painful, if this was an afterlife, would I meet you? Luo Ning often asked, but she always couldn't get an answer.
"Let's go!" Dongfang Ming glanced at Luo Ning and Qian'er lightly, and smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth. I don't know why Luo Ning always felt that there was even a faint mockery in the corners of this senior brother's mouth, although that kind of mockery was not very obvious, but there was a trace of disdain.
Luo Ning felt a pain in her heart, that kind of ridicule made Luo Ning inadvertently think of Dongfang Ming, and remembered the one who always had a gentle smile in his eyes and was dissatisfied with something.
"Senior sister, this is your room, although the teacher asked you to bring a little maid, but if you can do it, try to do it yourself!" Dongfang Ming took Luo Ning to a small bamboo house.
Luo Ning didn't say a word along the way, just followed the boy and walked slowly behind, the green bamboo was verdant, swaying in the wind, the ground was a little wet, I don't know how far I walked in this bamboo forest, suddenly I suddenly opened up, and met a row of bamboo houses, the boy did not enter the bamboo house directly, but went to the left, walked about half a mile, there are two bamboo buildings side by side in the bamboo forest, and the man directly led Luo Ning to the small building on the right and pointed to Luo Ningdao.
"Yes!" Luo Ning replied respectfully, and there was no more casualness in her tone, perhaps because of the faint disdain in the boy's eyes.
"In the middle, the room we just saw is where the teacher lives, and I'll tell you about the teacher's rules in a moment." The boy continued, and Luo Ning stood respectfully with his hands down, without any expression on his face at all.
"Qian'er, you go to the teacher's place, and follow the teacher to learn things with your heart!" Luo Ning suddenly interrupted the boy's words.
"Miss!" Qian'er was taken aback, "This ......"
"Go ahead, or go to my uncle's house." Luo Ning gave the order indifferently.
"Yes!" Tears flashed slightly in Qian'er's eyes, and she didn't even put down her package, and immediately walked out. Qian'er knew that Miss had to face these things with her stomach, just like she did back then. But Qian'er didn't know that the young lady back then had to scatter her henchmen to make a living, but now Qian'er wants to take a path of self-improvement.
The boy's eyes were slightly stunned, but he quickly regained his indifference.
"I hope you don't regret it, not everyone can live in this bamboo house." Although there was a hint of appreciation in the boy's eyes, there was more coldness in his tone.
"Don't bother, senior brother." Luo Ning smiled, as if he was not defeated by his coldness at all. And this smile made the boy have an indescribable fright in his heart, the smile was very normal, no contempt, no disdain, no pain, so pure, pure like a white snow lotus, but that smile seemed to have gone through a lot of suffering.
"My name is Dongfang Ming!" The boy said suddenly. Luo Ning's figure shook suddenly, there seemed to be tears overflowing in his eyes, and he slowly turned his head, and the boy looked at this little junior sister a little strangely.
"My name is Luo Ning!" Luo Ning's eyes stared straight at the boy's expression.
"Oh!" The boy agreed lightly, turned around and walked out, the light in Luo Ning's eyes slowly faded, and finally returned to normal, as soon as he turned around, Luo Ning slowly walked upstairs step by step, as if nothing had happened just now, only tears quietly slipped through the corners of Luo Ning's eyes.
"Luo Ning!" Dongfang Ming's heart suddenly pinched. "Why, why did you leave me!" Dongfang Ming had a hundred questions in his heart, but he couldn't open his mouth, after all, he was married in his previous life, and the girl in front of him was Luo Ning's name or Luo Ning? Dongfang Ming wasn't sure, all he could do was to leave as soon as possible, he didn't want to lose his cool in front of a little girl.
A runaway car suddenly rushed over, and it was Luo Ning who pushed him and his newlywed wife away, but he would rather leave his newlywed wife aside and use his flesh and blood to protect Luo Ning, because he didn't want to owe Luo Ning that affection to Luo Ning. Dongfang Ming's heart was miserable, and he stood outside the door so stupidly.
"That's it, the past is the past, why should I be persistent!" Luo stared at the bamboo forest outside the window, slowly calming down all his moods.
"The heart of the past is unattainable, the future is unattainable, the future is unattainable, since it has passed, why should I be persistent!" Luo Ning's hands were slightly folded, as if he was a monk who had attained the Tao, and all the love and tenderness in his heart slowly dissipated in the low chanting voice.
"That's it, whoever she is, leave it to fate!" Dongfang Ming also sighed slightly outside the door, turned around and disappeared into the emerald green bamboo building.
"The way of heaven is more than enough to lose...... Five years have passed quickly, and Luo Ning has grown from a little girl to a beautiful big girl, but this big girl is still dressed in men's clothes, fluttering in white, and her gestures are indescribably chic.
The boy in front of him was already a handsome young man, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, looking forward to Shen Yun, wearing a white shirt, and even more elegant.
Over the years, the two brothers and sisters can be said to have taken care of each other and supported each other, and the two of them have already intersected. Although the relationship between the two people is closer than that of relatives, it is by no means the kind of relationship between lovers, and even the dean of Chengtian Academy has made fun of the two of them, but as soon as she heard such words, Luo Ning of the girl's family smiled, with a faint alienation on her face.
As a big man, Dongfang Ming immediately changed the topic and passed the matter.
