It was about six or seven o'clock in the morning, and the rising sun was only showing half of its face shyly. After a night of dew, many of the branches and leaves are still hanging with crystal droplets.

Shi Xin stretched widely, greedily breathing in the fresh morning forest air.

"Oh, it's so comfortable, it's better to be free. ”

"It's only been a few days and you haven't been free, how can you stand it when you become a high-level pulse master in the future, and you will become an adult for a few months as soon as you retreat?" Ge Xuan smiled and lectured.

"I'm just over ten years old, Master. What does a 10-year-old do? Isn't it just eating and playing? I feel more and more amazing about myself, haha. Shi Xin triumphantly boasted.

"Alright, alright. I remember there was a stream not far ahead, so let's go freshen up and find something to eat. Ge Xuan walked ahead and led the way.

The two quickened their pace, and after walking for about a quarter of an hour, a clear stream appeared in front of them. Shi Xin cheered, took three steps and made one step, and jumped into the water with a thud, churning like a fish.

"Natural and pollution-free water is refreshing to wash", he thought as he washed, "Nature's gift to human beings is always good." It's just that human beings may not know how to be grateful, and later generations have destroyed the ecological environment. ”

Ge Xuan looked at the beloved apprentice in the stream, who sometimes pretended to be a fish and sometimes a bird, shook his head and smiled, with a kind face. He didn't go into the water right away, but found some dead branches beside him and lit a fire. The stream was still a little cold in the morning, and he was afraid that Shi Xin would get cold when he got up. He went into the forest again, and in a short time he came back with a poor rabbit, and disemboweled, and roasted it by the stream. After roasting for a while, Ge Xuan took out a few vials from his body and sprinkled some powder on them according to the amount. The fat of the roast rabbit instantly coats the powder, then absorbs and fuses, giving off a special and strange aroma.

Shi Xin, who was having a lot of fun in the water, suddenly smelled a burst of aroma and couldn't help but move his index finger. Ge Xuan on the shore beckoned: "Have you had enough, eat roast rabbit!"

In an instant, Shi Xin jumped out of the water, taking off his wet clothes and rushing to the fire.

Ge Xuan threw over a towel and scolded with a smile: "Are you starving to death?" Hey, your little earthworm almost hit the rabbit, do you want to roast it together?"

Shi Xin shouted shamelessly as he wiped his body: "The little earthworm can't see it, but I saw a majestic and passionate eagle slapping the rabbit and almost breaking it." ”

Ge Xuan patted his head: "What's wrong with the child now? Is it so shameless?"

The two of them were swept away, and a rabbit was eaten cleanly. Ge Xuan told Shi Xin to play and jumped into the creek to take a bath.

Shi Xin burped and wandered boredly through the woods. He touched the tree, smelled the flower, looked at the little animals in the forest, and before he knew it, he was far away. When he realized that he had entered the depths of the forest, in order to prevent Ge Xuan from finding himself after taking a bath, he decided to return.

At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of the two talking not far away. The two men had significantly lowered their voices, and if it weren't for the silence in the depths of the forest, if it weren't for the fact that Shi Xin was tiptoeing to avoid disturbing the critters, they wouldn't have heard anyone at all.

Shi Xin didn't want to cause more trouble, others hid in this place to talk, there must be something secret. It doesn't matter if eavesdropping is a gentleman's doing, provoking people who shouldn't be provoked is not fun in this world of pulse masters. He was about to turn to leave, when he heard a man say in a panicked tone, "It's not right for you to do this." The voice seemed to have been heard somewhere, and when I thought about it, I recognized it as Zhou Yu.

Since the day of his entry, Shi Xin has rarely seen Zhou Yu again, and has only seen him from afar in some large-scale events, such as the welcome meeting and the worship of Daojun. Zhou Yu deliberately kept a low profile, but that battle was really exciting, and his personal charm was high, so he attracted attention wherever he stood. Especially some young girls with a spring pregnancy, wherever Zhou Yu goes, a heart will follow, Zhou Yu will laugh and laugh, Zhou Yu will frown, and they will be in turmoil.

In this regard, Zhou Yu often sighed to the sky: I only hate this skin, I hope others care more about my talent.

Whenever Zhou Yu said this, Sun Ce and Lu Su next to him would look disdainful: In this case, why do you have to reply until late at night every time you help a girl send a love letter?

Zhou Yu is another set of theories: which girl does not have a spring? Appropriate hope can stimulate them to work hard, and he does this for the sake of the successors of the pulse master world.

Sun Ce and Lu Su were even more disdainful: Is it for the sake of the successor of the Pulse Master Realm?

Zhou Yu's amorous and romantic nature is natural, but he is never abusive, on the contrary, he has been looking for the woman he likes. It's a pity that his vision is too high, and his own conditions are too good, so he hasn't found it yet.

In ancient times, men and women were precocious, and they could get married at the age of thirteen or fourteen. Although the age of marriage is often postponed in order to cultivate, it is still a habit among commoners. Zhou Yu is only eleven years old, but this kind of romantic character has long understood everything.

Thinking that Zhou Yu usually looked high-minded, he would be so anxious to talk to people at this time, which aroused Shi Xin's interest. He crept two steps forward, just in time for a tree to block his figure, and listened intently.

I heard another person laugh: "What's wrong with this." I think you're too nervous. "It turned out to be Sun Ce.

Sun Ce's style is bold and generous, and he is not informal. He likes to make friends the most, and even Shi Xin, a waste material recognized by the Heavenly Master's Mansion, he is kind to each other. He is anxious for justice and righteousness, and if there is any friction between new disciples, he can solve it satisfactorily.

I heard Zhou Yu say in a deep voice: "What am I nervous about? This is your Sun family's business." But before we set out, my uncle had repeatedly told us that we could only do things according to plan. If you insist on going your own way, I can only write to my uncle and let him judge. ”

The uncle in Zhou Yu's mouth is Sun Jian. Zhou Yu and Sun Ce are sworn brothers, so naturally they will not call Sun Jian like ordinary generals, so they are called "uncle". I don't know what big things they were talking about, Zhou Yu actually moved out of Sun Jian and hid in such a hidden dense forest.

"Gong Jin, don't use your father to press me in everything. Since my father is the main thing to explain things, you can just listen to me. ”

"No, I can't. Although you are the person in charge, my uncle also said that we will discuss everything. ”

Sun Ce said unhappily: "Then you must tell your father?"

Zhou Yu's tone was tough: "Definitely." ”

The two were stalemate for a while, and suddenly Sun Ce sighed: "You also know that Zhang Ning was only eight years old last year, and he is only nine years old this year, and he is a naïve little girl." And Zhang Meiniang is the same age as me, and she has a common language with me. is also Zhang Jiao's daughter, why can't she choose Zhang Meiniang. ”

Zhou Yu sneered: "Why? Zhang Ning's veins are nine-section scepters, which are exactly the same as Zhang Jiao's. On this basis, is it impossible to draw conclusions?"

"What's the conclusion?" Sun Ce's tone softened.

"Don't choose Zhang Ning, who is the same as the vein, as the heir, do you choose the willful and willful Zhang Meiniang?"

Sun Ce was silent, obviously speechless.

Zhou Yu probably didn't want to push too hard, so he sighed and said, "Bo Fu, with all due respect. Do you think you are better than Zhongmou?"

Sun Ce said confidently: "Needless to say, Brother Quan has always been the only one who looks to me, as long as I point to the east, he will never go west." ”

"If your uncle wants to pass on the throne in the future, do you think it will definitely pass it on to you?"

Sun Ce was full of confidence: "Of course. In terms of force, strategy, will, and the number of people who support me, how can Brother Quan compare with me? Have you forgotten that when we came to Julu last year, Brother Quan cried behind my buttocks, and he was afraid of his father's strictness. You know, my father has always believed in me, otherwise he wouldn't have sent me to complete the task. ”

Zhou Yu smiled and was noncommittal about his words, but he no longer compared Sun Quan. The issue of choosing an heir is always a sensitive matter, even if Zhou Yu and Sun Ce are brothers, it is not convenient to discuss too much on this matter. Zhou Yu only mentioned it intentionally, but Sun Ce, who was absolutely confident, didn't take it to heart at all.

Zhou Yu had no choice but to sigh and continued: "Then do you think that your uncle sent you to the Heavenly Master's Mansion to perform a mission, did he think that you were outstanding? Or did he deliberately cultivate you and let you make great contributions?"

Sun Ce was displeased: "In addition to this reason, is there any other purpose? Gong Jin, talk about things, don't talk about inconsequential things." ”

Zhou Yu sneered again: "Bo Fu, you have an Achilles' heel in your character, that is, you are stubborn and self-serving, and you will suffer a loss one day." Then he sighed, "You and I have been married since childhood, and I have always regarded you as my own brother, you know?"

Sun Ce's tone also softened: "I know, why am I? There are many things that I don't even say to Brother Quan, only you know", his tone turned hard again, "But I don't think I'm stubborn, I call it self-confidence." ”

There was another period of stalemate between the two.

Sun Ce suddenly laughed "poof", slapped Zhou Yu with a snap, and said, "Okay, every time I say those things, my ears are calloused." By the way, you said last time that you had been in contact with Zhou Tai, what did he say?"

"Alas, Zhou Tai has rejected my wooing, and despite the many preferential treatments I have promised, he still has this attitude. According to his words, he is still young, and he has not yet thought about who he wants to be loyal to, and he just wants to concentrate on cultivation. ”

"Is that so? Are we not sincere enough? Or should I try?"

"I don't think it's necessary, Zhou Tai said it quite decisively, and it was from the bottom of his heart. And......" Zhou Yu touched his chin, his eyes were deep, "He seems to be waiting, waiting for someone." ”

"Oh...... Who is so powerful that even our Jiangdong Sun family can't grab it? Could it be Yuan Xi?"

"It's not Yuan Xi, it's Shi Xin!"

"Uh, are you overthinking? What is there to wait for Shi Xin?"

Hearing this, Shi Xin, as the person concerned, also touched his chin, and had the same question as Sun Ce: What do I have to wait for.
