Chapter 17: The Lotus
Following behind the two young masters of the Lin family, looking at the gorgeous robes on the two of them, and looking at the cloth clothes covered with scars on their bodies, Ah Niu was not ashamed that it was fake, except that he was a little uncomfortable. Shaking his head, he said softly to himself: "It's better in our village, at least there is no difference between poor and low." ”
"You're talking to yourself. Ahead, Lin Feng, who found that Ah Niu was stupid, turned his head and said lightly with an impatient face.
"I, I, nothing. Glancing at the two of them, Ah Niu stammered in response.
"Hmph. Rolling his eyes, Lin Feng couldn't help but scold: "What a fool, I don't know what Master Puzhi thinks, he actually sent you, an idiot, to my house." Hmph, I must have thought that my Lin family was a bully, boy, let me tell you, it's better to be honest with me, or I'll kill you. ”
"Big brother. Lin Ke on the side found that something was wrong, and hurriedly dissuaded: "Don't talk about him, look at him so honestly, how can he do something unfavorable to my Lin family." ”
After speaking, Lin Ke looked at Ah Niu with a smile and said, "Little brother Liu Ding, my brother is like this, I'm really embarrassed, don't take it to heart."
Shaking his head, Ah Niu gritted his teeth and did not speak. I really feel stupid in my heart, so it's good to bury this kind of thing in my heart, why do I have to say it.
Sighing helplessly, Lin Ke saw that Lin Feng was about to speak disrespectfully, so he hurriedly pulled him and turned around and continued to walk forward, and said with the method of divine consciousness transmission: "Big brother, what are you doing here, Puzhi's bald donkey is still in our house, aren't you afraid that this kid will sue you for an account?"
He dared. Lin Feng's divine sense sneered, and swore an oath: "Don't worry, the reason why I said this is not only to give him a warning, but also to expect that he will not say this." Even if you say it, Puzhi's bald donkey dares to kill me?"
"Huh. A sinister smile appeared at the corner ......of Lin Ke's mouth: "Of course I don't dare, but it is indispensable for you to be scolded by your father." ”
A few minutes later, the second son of the Lin family took Ah Niu to a place in the north of the mansion, among which Lin Feng casually pointed to one of the many houses, and said lightly: "You will live here today, and someone will come to be your master tomorrow." ”
After that, Lin Feng, Lin Ke turned around and left, without even looking at Ah Niu, looking self-righteous.
"Whew. Seeing that the two of them left like this, Ah Niu's whole body suddenly relaxed. Although the second son of the Lin family has some eyes, he doesn't care at all, on the contrary, he is extremely looking forward to who will be his master tomorrow.
Thinking like this in his heart, Ah Niu happily walked into the north wing, and when he entered the hospital, he suddenly found that many people were gathered together in twos and threes, and he didn't know what to say. Counting them, he found that there were as many as ten people.
"No wonder I didn't see many people outside, they were all here. Muttering, Ah Niu wanted to step forward to say hello, but when he thought of the face of the second son of the Lin family, he gave up this idea.
Walking straight to the room that Lin Feng was pointing to, Ah Niu pushed open the door and walked in with his feet raised. And after he entered, the ten people in the courtyard were still chatting with relish, as if they had not noticed his arrival at all.
Inside the house, Ah Niu casually glanced at the surrounding furniture that exuded a burst of antique fragrance, then walked to the side of the bed and lay down sideways, closed his eyes, and fell asleep after a while. After a day and a night of traveling, he was already tired. Although he flew over, with his mortal body, it was good to be able to hold on until now......
I don't know how long it has been, a knock on the door woke Ah Niu up, rubbed his dizzy eyes, and didn't ask who it was, he stood up and walked to the door, and opened the door directly.
In the eye, there was a slightly beautiful woman, about sixteen years old, and not only that, but the woman also held a large plate with two dishes and one soup in the plate, exuding a burst of aroma.
Secondly, when the woman saw the person who opened the door, her expression couldn't help but be stunned, obviously she was also frightened by Ah Niu's dress and age, but this look was only a flash, and she immediately saluted sideways: "The maid Lotus has seen the fairy?"
"Shangxian?" was called so by the lotus, Ah Niu suddenly felt extremely embarrassed, and was stunned in front of the door and couldn't say a word.
Seeing that the face of the immortal cultivator in front of him was red, the unknown lotus asked, "Immortal, why is your face red?" ”
"Ugh. Hearing this, Ah Niu reached out and touched his face, and suddenly felt hot, and his heart was even more embarrassed, and he stammered: "No, it's okay, it's just hot." ”
"It's hot?" Lotus was dumbfounded, crying and laughing and staring at Ah Niu, this was the first time she had heard an immortal cultivator say that the weather was hot. But having said that, she also vaguely understood why Ah Niu blushed. Pursing her lips and snickering, she walked into the room, put the food on the table and said, "This is the dinner that the adults ordered the slaves and maids to bring you, you can eat it quickly, it won't taste good if it's cold." ”
"Oh. In response, Ah Niu walked to the table and sat down, then picked up the dishes and chopsticks and took two bites of rice. Immediately after picking up an unknown piece of meat and putting it in his mouth, his eyes suddenly lit up, his appetite was wide, and he quickly picked up two pieces again and ate them, and said with satisfaction: "It's so delicious, what kind of meat is this?"
"Ugh. Ah Niu was stunned for a moment, and said softly: "You, haven't you eaten yet?"
Lotus shook her head, turned around, and didn't dare to look at Ah Niu: "The slave has eaten, Shangxian, you can eat it quickly." ”
"Huh. Ah Niu smiled bitterly, although he was not smart, he was not stupid, and knew that the other party must not be telling the truth: "Let's eat together, I can't finish it anyway." ”
Lianhua said: "This, how can this be done, if the adults know, the slave will definitely be beaten." ”
"Don't worry, if you don't say it, I won't say who will know. While speaking, Ah Niu took the lotus flower with both hands and sat beside him, vacated the soup bowl, and after serving a bowl of rice, he handed it over and said, "Let's eat together." ”
"It's ....... After hesitating for a while, Lotus finally took it, and after glancing at Ah Niu gratefully, she quickly swept the food on the table with the momentum of the wind and clouds, and even did not let go of the grease stains on the plate, and ate it with rice.
"Ahh Ah Niu, who had only eaten two bites, stopped in mid-air with his hands, looking at all this in a daze, wanting to say something, but couldn't say a word.
After eating, Lotus took a break and glanced at the empty plate on the table, she suddenly woke up, immediately knelt on the ground, and begged for mercy: "Immortal, I ......." ”
Before she finished speaking, she saw a pair of hands helping her up, looking up, and seeing that Ah Niu had no blame on her face, but showed a smile, Lotus's heart suddenly warmed.
"You haven't eaten in a few days. Ah Niu asked.
"It's been a day and a night. ”
"Why don't you eat it?"
Laying her head, Lotus said bitterly: "Back to Shangxian, when the slave maid was washing clothes yesterday, she accidentally dyed several of them with other dyes, so she was fasted for two days by the aunt who was the housekeeper in the kitchen. ”
"Just because of this?" Ah Niu was furious, and immediately wanted to go to the man to reason with him, but when he thought of his identity, he was discouraged. Not to mention that he had just come here, what could he do just as a twelve-year-old child? Thinking of this, Ah Niu had to sigh helplessly. After half a ring, he spoke: "You go back first, tomorrow your aunt still won't give you food, you can come to me!"
"Shangxian ....... ”
"Huh. Grinning, Ah Niu said: "I'm not an immortal, and you are older than me, in the future, you can directly call me Liu Ding." ”
The speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart, after listening to these words, a few tears fell in Lotus's eyes, playing small, since her parents will send here, she has never felt the warmth of the world, some are just not enough to eat, not warm to wear, and even from time to time will be beaten and scolded by others.
Seeing that the other party was crying, Ah Niu thought that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly said: "Sister Lotus, don't cry, blame me for having a bad mouth and not being able to speak." As he spoke, Ah Niu waved his hand and slapped himself twice, and then two five-paw prints were immediately revealed on the left and right sides of his face, which shows that the force is not light.
Lianhua was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly grabbed his hand and said: "Don't be like this, the slave is so moved by what you said, so she cried out, I don't blame you." ”
"Ah, I see. Ah Niu was dumbfounded.
"Huh. Seeing the silly cuteness of the immortal cultivator in front of her, Lotus burst into tears and laughed: "You are really strange! But my aunt said that all the immortals who live here are you, right?"
Scratching his head, Ah Niu said a little embarrassed: "Sort of, but I don't know any spells now, and I won't have them until tomorrow." ”
With a hint of envy in her eyes, Lianhua casually put away the dishes and chopsticks on the table and said, "Your life is so good, unlike me, you can only be a slave forever." Well, it's not too early, I have to go back, or I'll be punished by my aunt. ”
In this regard, Ah Niu did not hold back, and nodded in agreement.
Arriving at the door, Lotus turned her head and said, "You will definitely find a good master tomorrow," and she turned around and trotted away.
Looking at the back of Lotus leaving, Ah Niu was silent, standing in place and not knowing what he was thinking. After a while, he sat back on his stool, wondering if he had come to the wrong place, and secretly deciding that he must leave this place when he learned the spell.
"Ah Niu. ”
Just when Ah Niu was thinking wildly, Puzhi's figure suddenly appeared at the door, and said with a smile: "What are you thinking, you are so distracted, you won't be homesick." ”
Seeing Pu Zhi, Ah Niu smiled knowingly, stood up and said, "Thank you for your concern, Ah Niu is indeed a little homesick." ”
"You're still young, and you should have such thoughts, but ....... After a pause, Pu Zhi changed his complexion and said solemnly: "If you want to achieve the Supreme Dao, the little monk advises you to forget all the trivial things, otherwise you are afraid of great disasters in the future." ”
Ah Niu was taken aback and said, "Please ask the master for advice?"
Pu Zhi shook his head: "I don't need to say this, you will naturally know in the future, and if you say it now, it will be counterproductive." ”
"Oh. A little disappointed in response, Ah Niu did not continue to ask, but chatted with Pu Zhi about some questions about cultivating immortals. This conversation went late at night, and it wasn't until Ah Niu couldn't hold it anymore that Pu Zhi got up and left.
When leaving, Pu Zhi did not forget to advise: "After I leave tomorrow, you must cultivate diligently here, and you must not relax at all, only in this way can you cultivate the Great Dao in adversity, you know." ”
"Yes. Ah Niu nodded affirmatively, and then continued: "Master, can we still see each other in the future?"
"We will meet by fate. With a mysterious smile, Puzhi's figure turned into a golden light and disappeared in an instant.
"I will definitely see you again, and Ah Niu will not disappoint the master when the time comes...... ”
