Chapter 34: Wild Fox Zen
"Xiaotian, you are already a big child now, practicing with grandpa, you can't be as naughty as before, you have to listen to grandpa and sister Yating, you know?"
"Got it!"
"Look at you, why do you eat so little, Xiaotian, you are growing up at this age, come, eat some more, my mother will bring you some soup!" Xian'er watched Xuanyuan Xiaotian only eat a few bites, then put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, and fidgeted there.
Xian'er, as in the past, her eyes are as clear as blue waves, filled with a touch of warmth, and the curvature of the corners of her mouth is as perfect as a crescent moon. Perhaps, this is the smile of the legendary angel, which drives away all the gloom, so that the world can feel that the sky is so bright, without a trace of flaw, the years seem to have never met her, maybe it is the favor of God, the love of time!
"Thank you, mother, but mother, I'm really full, I really can't eat anymore...... Sister Yating, you should eat quickly, this is for you, this is delicious, and this ......" Xiaotian urged Sister Yating while constantly adding vegetables to her bowl.
"Xiaotian, don't disturb your sister Yating to eat, how have you been reading recently, have you studied the bamboo slips you sent to you seriously?" Xuanyuan Wuyang, who had a handsome face, added a little fortitude, mature and steady, and asked with a serious expression.
"Well, I read it every day, Dad, you can rest assured!" Xiao Tian replied, but he was silently complaining in his heart, what did those bamboo slips mean, or what the old man said.
"Sister, brother-in-law, you are too strict, how old is Xiao Tiancai, although he is naughty, but he is not a bad boy, if you like to listen to the old man's stories, this is not a bad thing, just increase your knowledge, I have always been by his side, Xiao Tian is very diligent in practice, and I also listen to Grandpa Zhan Tian and me, you can rest assured, it will be fine!" Yating helped Xiao Tian and said, she watched Xiao Tian grow up day by day, almost inseparable for several years, and her feelings were naturally deep.
"Mother, look at it, Sister Yating has said so, I heard the old grandfather talk about books, and that is also studying knowledge! Dad also said that you should study hard and ask questions, and I also asked the old man a lot of questions, and he couldn't answer a lot of them. Sister Yating, it's still your best, when I grow up and can go out of the valley, I will definitely bring you with me!" Xiaotian heard Yating help him speak, and immediately smiled and made a promise.
"Just that old man, just that wild fox Zen, and still learned, embarrassed to say, hum!" Xuanyuan Wuyang didn't like that nameless old man very much, if it weren't for his father's face, he would definitely prevent Xiaotian from meeting him.
"Wild Fox Zen?giggle......" Yating was amused at once, and even Xian'er and Xiaotian were amused together.
"What's so funny about this, is it so funny, Xiaotian, listen to me tell you, the Great Wilderness Ancient Scripture says......"
Where would Xiaotian listen to his father's ancient scriptures of the Great Wilderness, hurriedly picked up the half chicken prepared on the table, and ran out as soon as he slipped away, Yating also quickly put down the dishes and chopsticks and chased out......
The mountain behind the Xuanyuan family's mansion, since it was opened to various tribes in the Yueming Valley that year, there is still an endless stream of people who come to study the Changbai Pagoda, but now there are very few, and the lively scene at that time has long been gone.
Some of the old-timers in the valley professed to be well-informed, and at the beginning they were also enthusiastic and invested a lot of energy, and some even played the role of a hidden master to teach everyone about their experience, but who knew that not only did it not lead to results, but also wasted a lot of time of those hot-blooded young people, and finally left in disgrace.
On the contrary, those young people are tired of being fascinated by the Changbai Pagoda, full of passion, and full of unprecedented enthusiasm. There are even many people who send their children here, no matter the wind or rain, never stop, just as Xuanyuan Huan's ancestors said, the world's treasure, those who have fate get it, maybe one day, fate will fall on the head of their own children.
Xuanyuan Xiaotian came to the back mountain, and it was still the same place as usual, with only a few people in sight, scattered on this large field, looking scattered and lifeless. These people are almost all young uncles and aunts, and there are some older brothers and sisters who are not much older than themselves, and they are either carefully observing the White Tower, or they are pacing back and forth on the sidelines, meditating, and there is a depressed scene.
Xiao Tian ran straight to the bamboo forest under the slope of the medicine garden, which was his favorite place to come when he had nothing to do, and it was also his happiest and most beautiful place, there was a group of friends of his age, all innocent, all lively and active, all smart and clever, of course, a group of children together must be indispensable for naughty scolding and crying, but Xiao Tian felt that even the crying sound was the most beautiful sound in the world.
"Howling!"
"Xiaotian, you're here!"
"Why are you here?"
“......”
It is the hottest season of the year, and a group of friends sit in the bamboo forest, waiting for the howling sky while enjoying the coolness. There's no way, who told that old man to say it, if Xiaotian doesn't come, he won't start telling stories. In order to listen to the old man's story, they can only wait, who makes them all like to listen to the old man's story.
I don't know what their parents sent them here for......
Seeing Xiao Tian happily running towards them, a group of listless friends immediately became energetic.
"Oops, I'm so tired that I finally ran out, huh, where's the old man?" Xiao Tian sat on the ground.
"Ah, I'm going to find a peacock duel!" a child pointed in the direction of the garden.
"It's okay, the old man will appear soon, you see what this is!" Xiao Tian took out the half of the chicken he had brought and opened the outside package.
"Wow! it's so fragrant!" a group of friends immediately surrounded the roast chicken, and saliva flowed out.
"Haha...... How fragrant, you just wait and see, the old man will appear soon, and we will eat together when the time comes!" Xiao Tian looked at the roast chicken with a smile, and he drooled himself, why didn't he want to eat it at home?
"Whoosh", the roast chicken disappeared in front of everyone's eyes, a group of friends, some of them squatting, some half-lying down, some standing, at the moment they are looking up at an old grandfather sitting on a stone pier in the bamboo forest, full of distress, eyes are full of anger, if this roast chicken is in the hands of the old man, they can no longer worry about it, the friends are very clear in their hearts.
However, at this moment, the old man who appeared inexplicably and snatched their roast chicken didn't look at their eyes and expressions at all, just stared at the roast chicken in his hand, his eyes were shining, and he felt that he was looking at some rare treasure.
Feelings: He is the nameless old man who tells the story? Isn't it for something that he tells the story here every day to this group of little guys? For example, the roast chicken in his hand at this moment, and the sesame walnut shortbread yesterday, and the ...... the day before yesterday
"You little glutton, I haven't eaten this old glutton, don't worry about it, I'm in a good mood today, so I'll share this roast chicken with everyone, and I want to share good things." But I'm going to tell the story now, the old rule, wait a minute, if I have a problem, whoever of you answers well will be rewarded with a piece of roast chicken, so it should be fair!hehe!" The nameless old man's eyes glanced around the little guys, tempting them to wait and answer the questions with delicious food.
"Oh, great, we have roast chicken again. ”
"Then old man, talk about it quickly!"
"By the way, old man, you can continue to tell us about the Chaos God Tree today, why did it disappear in the end?"
"Well, I'm going to listen to that too, I'm going to listen to this too. ”
"I want it too, I want it too. ”
“......!”
A group of friends suddenly came to their senses, chattering and arguing, with a look of anticipation.
"Grandpa, you're in such a good mood today! Did you win the duel with that peacock?"
Xiao Tian asked curiously, since the day he met the old man, in addition to liking to tell them stories, he was dueling with the peacock that Xiao Tian himself had never seen, which seemed to be a kind of fun for the old man......
