Xiao Tian, who left from the teacher's ancestral residence, was walking towards Xiaoqiu's residence with trepidation at this time, and he didn't know how to tell his sister that he was leaving. With mixed feelings, he walked into his sister's yard.

Just saw Xiaoqiu squatting on the ground and happily teasing the green spirit bird, he looked at his naughty and cute sister, smiled dotingly and walked forward and said, "Steal grandpa's spirit grass to feed the green spirit bird again?"

Xiao Qiu, who was immersed in joy, was startled by the sudden voice, she quickly raised her head, and when she saw that the person who came was Xiao Tiandi, she couldn't help but sneer: "Brother, you make a little noise, in case grandpa hears it, it will be bad." ”

"You still know it's wrong to steal the spirit grass!"

"Oh, brother, you see that it is flying around all day to deliver letters for the sect, and it is almost exhausted, so let it eat some spirit grass to recover its strength, right?" Xiaoqiu said pitifully.

"Well, I won't tell Grandpa, but don't do it again. ”

"Uh-huh. I knew that my brother was the best, by the way, brother, why did you come to me?" Xiaoqiu asked happily.

Xiao Tian looked at his sister, who was smiling like a flower, with mixed tastes, and plucked up the courage to say, "I'm going out with the third uncle tomorrow." ”

"Going down again?"

"Hmm. ”

"Then how many days will you come back this time?" Xiaoqiu asked reluctantly.

"Three ,,,,"

"Three days?" Xiaoqiu asked in surprise.

"Three ,,, three years," Xiao Tian said hesitantly as he looked at the sky.

Time and space seemed to freeze in an instant, Xiaoqiu looked at his brother blankly, I don't know how long it took, the green spirit bird that had eaten the spirit grass suddenly broke the silence of the small courtyard with a loud chirp.

Xiaoqiu asked tentatively, "Brother, are you joking?"

Xiao Tian smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Then Grandpa must have asked you to go, I'll go to Grandpa now and ask him to leave you behind," Xiaoqiu said as he walked out of the courtyard.

Seeing his sister walking out, Xiao Tian quickly took her hand and said, "Xiaoqiu, my brother volunteered to go." ”

After hearing this, Xiaoqiu stopped, turned around, and said with teary eyes: "Then brother doesn't want a sister?"

Xiaotian touched her face, wiped away the tears on her face, and said softly: "How could it be! Brother loves you the most, how can he not want you!"

"Then why have you been walking for so long?" asked Xiaoqiu, sobbing.

"Because,,, because in a few years, our sect will encounter a great calamity, and then I hope I can stand up and protect the sect," Xiao Tian paused for a moment and continued: "So, I want to go out with the third uncle to practice, and strive to cultivate to a stronger level before the disaster comes." ”

"Then why do you have to go out to practice? Can't you let others go out to practice? Anyway, there are so many people in our sect!" Xiao Qiu still said aggrievedly.

"Sister, have you forgotten what I told you about seven years ago? At that time, I was hidden in the back mountain by my senior brothers and sisters, and I watched them being killed by those cruel bad people, but I couldn't do anything about it. And now that disaster is about to come, I don't want to be as powerless as last time, I want to protect you, protect the sect. Xiaotian said with a melancholy face.

"Then,,, what kind of disaster is going to happen?" asked Xiaoqiu with her head tilted.

Xiao Tian didn't want to lie to his sister, and said, "There is something very powerful and powerful that wants to come out of the ground and kill the creatures of the Xuanfeng Continent,"

"Really?"

"Really,"

"Will that come out from under my bed?" asked Xiaoqiu with some concern.

Xiao Tian didn't know how they got out, so he had to comfort his sister and said, "No, our sect has a Dharma Protector Array, and they don't dare to approach,"

After hearing this, Xiaoqiu lowered her head and stopped talking, just fiddling with the corners of her clothes.

Seeing this, Xiao Tian squatted down and said, "Sister, you are my dearest and dearest relative, I don't want to be hurt a little in your future disasters, so in order to become stronger, can you let me go out and practice for three years?"

"Will you leave when you come back after three years?" After thinking for a while, Xiaoqiu asked softly.

"Brother promises you that he won't leave," Xiao Tian said with a firm expression.

"Okay, then I'll trust you once," Xiaoqiu said.

Hearing this, Xiao Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I know that my sister is the most sensible." ”

"Hmph, if you don't come back in three years, I won't pay attention to you anymore," Xiaoqiu said as she wiped her tears from the back of her hand.

"How can it be, my brother misses you the most, and he will definitely come back on time, don't cry anymore, my sister laughs the cutest," he said and made a grimace at his sister.

Xiaoqiu was suddenly amused and laughed, "hummed", beat Xiaotian with his fleshy little hand and said, "Brother is a big villain." ”

Xiao Tian let his sister beat him, and when she was tired, he said, "Let's go to the back mountain to see my father and mother, okay?"

Xiaoqiu nodded after hearing this, so Xiaotian pulled her sister and walked towards the back mountain.

After a while, Xiao Tian took his sister to his father's grave, he pulled his sister to kneel, and said, "Dad, mother, the child will go down the mountain tomorrow to practice." Now that the disaster is approaching and the sect is in danger, the child now only hopes to return from the training as soon as possible to protect the sect and protect his sister. I will not forget your enmity, and I will make them pay it back. After saying that, he kowtowed a few times on the ground.

Xiaoqiu also said: "Daddy, mother, I will also avenge you." ”

Xiaotian looked at the cute little girl in front of him, patted her head and said, "Dad, mother, don't worry, Xiaoqiu is my dearest relative in the world, I will definitely take good care of her and will not let her be hurt a little." ”

"When I grow up, I will also protect my brother and not let him be hurt at all," Xiaoqiu said happily as she looked at her brother.

The brother and sister looked at each other and smiled, adding a touch of warmth to this bleak autumn. At this time, Xiaoqiu said: "Brother, my father and mother are too lonely, I want to pick some wild flowers and let them accompany my father and mother, is it okay?"

"Of course you can, but be careful not to fall," Xiao Tian advised.

"Uh-huh," said Xiaoqiu, running towards the wildflowers not far away.

The afterglow of the setting sun falls on the back mountain, dyeing the quiet back mountain with an intoxicating red. At this time, the brother and sister stayed in the quiet back mountain, quietly picking wild flowers, and talking to their parents with their parents,,,,
