"Slap, slap, slap", the pain in my buttocks, accompanied by the sound of three crisp slaps on the flesh, was the first feeling I felt when I woke up again. I looked at my cousin, who came over early in the morning to spank me, and asked, "What are you doing?" What are you spanking me for? ”

I tried my best to suppress my anger and said to myself: don't be angry, don't be angry, after all, he gave me the food I ate.

My cousin slapped me on the ass again: "Of course I told you to get up." ”

I looked at my ass and then at him and said, "Do you think getting someone up is a hard slap in someone's ass?" ”

My cousin had a hearty smile on his face: "It's because I can't wake you up, don't say these useless words, and accept the tempering and test for your life." ”

My cousin's words were a bit informative, and I was silent for a while before I spoke: "Cousin, are you saying that if I want to solve that curse, I will have to go through trials and tests?" ”

The cousin still nodded with a hearty smile, straightened up, and shouted energetically, "Yes, boy, how do you feel?" Do you have a feeling that you are like the male protagonist in Jin Yong's martial arts novels, and are you a little happy? ”

I nodded first, but immediately disagreed: ", who wants to be the protagonist." There are too many dangers for the protagonist! What kind of training will you receive? What tests do you accept? I! Just! No! Think! I just want to work ordinarily, spend my ordinary life like a salted fish, and finally have a full house of children and grandchildren, and die right. ”

Taking a breath, I calmed down and asked, "Then what trials and tests are waiting for me?" ”

The cousin continued to preach with a hearty smile: "Temper you, so that you can withstand the test of that guy, worship his sect, and obtain the blessing of the ancestor of that sect." Hurry up and wash up and get trained."

Helpless and helpless, I had to get up early to wash up for the sake of my own life, preparing to go through trials and tests. If my mother knew that I had something to do with superstition, she wouldn't have to be so angry.

Hey? In this way, if you think about it, if it were my dad, maybe he would be quite happy, as if he once said that he just wanted to learn this all the time, but he couldn't.

For some reason, at this moment, as a teenager, I experienced the so-called impermanence of the world. My father, who was theistic and religious, couldn't get his hands on this, and I, who was atheistic and just wanted to be a salted fish, accidentally bumped into it.

But think about it, huh? If my father hadn't liked it and told me so much, I wouldn't have been interested in it, and I wouldn't have been bored to read that thing, and if I hadn't read that book, I wouldn't be in this situation now. As a teenager, I experienced a feeling that I couldn't explain.

After washing up in my thoughts, I went to the second floor, ready to see what task my cousin was going to give me to hone me.

But unexpectedly, my cousin took me to the kitchen and said, "Let's make breakfast." "I suspect my ear heard it wrong, so there was no response. My cousin looked at me blankly and said again, "Let's make breakfast." ”

I was silent for a while, thought about the relationship between the matter, and asked with some uncertainty: "Is making breakfast just a tempering for me?" ”

My cousin still said with that hearty expression: "That's right, but breakfast is just a part of the training." You also have to sweep and mop the floor, clean the windows, wash clothes, water vegetables and remove insects, and feed the chickens and pigs. ”

I don't know what language I should use to describe my mood and expression, if I want to describe the way I am now, I should say to my cousin in an emotionless voice: "Don't mention the tempering first, it's just for me to do housework, don't you think the amount of housework arranged for me is a bit large?" And if you look at this floor, we usually put in the shoes we wear outside, and we haven't changed our slippers, and you say that I should wipe the floor clean, are you serious? ”

My cousin still had a hearty expression: "Of course, if you wipe it clean, we can come in without wearing outside shoes, and the place where you are going to apprentice is bigger than my house, and you are more tired than cleaning over there." ”

I couldn't help but say loudly: "The test is also a housework? ”

My cousin continued with a hearty expression that annoyed me, but still had a hearty expression: "That's right, trials and tests are all housework, after all, there is almost nothing in life, you can know what a person's character and temperament are, life is not like a TV series, there are big things happening at every turn, testing human nature." So what to do? Of course, it is tempered by doing housework, how people do housework, how they serve others, whether they can think of all the details of things, whether they are thoughtful, and whether they will be resentful or lazy because of boredom for a long time...... These questions can tell the personality of the person, so doing housework is the best test. ”

The words seem to make a lot of sense, but the amount of housework is so large that I can't help but have a stomachache when I think about it, so I still have to find a way to reduce it: "If I do everything, what will my aunt do?" ”

The cousin still said with a hearty expression: "Your aunt has been doing it for decades, so it's okay to take a vacation for a while." ”

Well, that's really irrefutable

"Moreover, every cultivator starts by serving the Master, and everyone is no exception." The cousin continued

I remembered the story my father told me, and I couldn't help but smile in a slightly sarcastic tone, "Uncle who said this, I have heard the origin of your spells from my father. ”

The expression on my cousin's face seemed to shake a little, and even his hearty smile was a little embarrassed, but he continued to speak: "But you have to accept this common sense." ”

Looking at this situation, I also knew that there was no way to reduce it, and for the sake of my own life, I had to accept it. Thinking that the leisurely days were coming to an end, I couldn't help muttering: "Trials and tests are simply the hell of housework." ”

After hearing this, my cousin laughed a few times and said, "Well said, trials and tests are the hell of housework, make breakfast well, I'll wait to eat." I've been eating your aunt's breakfast for more than ten years, and I'm looking forward to a change of taste, I haven't eaten much Cantonese-style breakfast. With that, he ran away, leaving me alone in the kitchen

In this way, I fell into the hell of housework, and my hearty expression became my psychological shadow for several days.
