Chapter Eighty-Eight: Rejection
Xia Jinming had already raised his head at this time, and when he saw his younger brother walking quickly, a smile appeared on his face. But instead of rushing over, he gave the basket to one of the servants, and with the help of another, took off the sleeve of his right hand. Then he washed his two arms in a bucket carried by a servant before turning and walking towards Xia Keming.
At this time, Xiao Rui also saw his appearance clearly. The facial features are very similar to Xia Keming, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a straight nose, and thin lips. It's just dark-skinned, but it looks stronger. In his eyes, there are more vicissitudes and loneliness.
Xia Keming stepped forward and gave him a bear hug, and then said happily: "Third brother, it's been okay lately, I also brought two friends back this time!" After speaking, he turned around and introduced the three of them.
Xiao Rui arched his hand and said: "I've always heard Keming mention the third brother, and now I say that seeing the true face is really my blessing!" Luo Hong also stepped forward and said, "The third brother is good!"
Xia Jinming didn't show how enthusiastic he was, just nodded slightly and greeted the two. But Xiao Rui seemed to see a trace of boredom in Xia Jinming's eyes, and his heart moved, but then he thought that maybe it was because of his disability, so he didn't want to be seen by more people, so he didn't take it to heart.
Several people came to the living room from the backyard, and Uncle Lin had already prepared tea and snacks. After a few people sat down, Xia Keming first took a sip of tea before saying, "Third brother, I went out this time, and sure enough, I found the thieves who stole your forging technique, and I have already killed them." As he spoke, he took out a few pieces of metal from the storage ring, which were found in the forging furnace of Forging Bao Zhai, and the ones with the divine consciousness of the thin man and horse face in them.
"Third brother, look, this is the evidence, with this you can explain it to your master!" Xia Keming said excitedly. But Xia Jinming's face did not change much, he was still so calm, but his eyes were more moved and gentle.
"Keming, you went out for a walk this time, I feel that your cultivation seems to have improved a lot!" Xia Jinming didn't continue the topic just now, but asked Xia Keming.
Xia Keming immediately smiled and said: "Well, it is true that it has improved a lot, but these are all because of Xiao Rui, he is my great fortune star! If it weren't for him, I might not be able to come back." ”
"Oh, then I would like to thank Brother Xiao for saving my brother's life. Xia Jinming leaned over and said to Xiao Rui.
Xiao Rui hurriedly stood up and said, "Third brother, don't be like this. Keming and I also hit it off at first sight, and he also fell in love with me, and we can be regarded as brothers in life and death. In the future, the third brother will also be my third brother!"
Xia Jinming nodded and said, "Don't dare, don't dare." Dare to ask Brother Xiao if there is anything wrong with this visit?"
Xiao Rui nodded and said, "The third brother is really right, but this time I came here to trouble the third brother!"
"Oh, I don't know if there's anything you need me to come forward with?" Xia Jinming's tone already had a hint of mockery evident.
When Xiao Rui heard this, he was slightly embarrassed. Xia Keming was already anxious to say, "Third brother, Xiao Rui, he just wanted you to help forge a knife." ”
Xia Jinming's face sank: "Keming, how many times have I told you, don't mention anything about forging with me again." Since Master will not let me continue to forge, then I will definitely obey Master's order and never do it again for the rest of my life. ”
After speaking, he looked down at his two broken arms with wrists, and the loneliness in his eyes became deeper and deeper: "What's more, can I still make a move now? If your friend is dating you to find me to forge things, it will be in vain." It's also a waste of my own time. ”
Xiao Rui only then understood why there was a trace of boredom in his eyes when they first met. It turned out that he thought that he was dating Xia Keming and came for the name of him as a senior forger, so he was a little disdainful and looked down upon.
Xia Keming naturally heard the meaning of his brother's words at this time. couldn't help but shake his head and smile: "Third brother, you were wrong this time. I used to miss some friends, and those people did come for your name. But this time Xiao Rui is not, when we met, he didn't even know who I was, and I found him first. ”
As he spoke, he told in detail about the experience of meeting Xiao Rui. Xia Jinming's face softened slightly, and he said to Xiao Rui: "Brother Xiao, this is really embarrassing, I blame you." Because he used to always bring back some fox friends and dogs. Actually, the purpose was to get me to forge something for them. I'll treat you like them, don't be surprised. ”
Xiao Rui said with a smile: "The third brother should blame himself, if you want to blame Keming, you should also blame this guy, and bring people to the house regardless of whether it is good or bad." Saying that, he smiled at Xia Keming: "It seems that you weren't good before!"
Xia Keming pouted his teeth and grinned: "Hmph, we weren't young and ignorant at that time, but the third brother didn't scold me a lot at that time! ”
Xia Jinming said with a smile on his face at this time: "Well, if I hadn't scolded you a few times, you wouldn't have known how much trouble I would have to make." As he spoke, he turned to Xiao Rui and said, "Brother Xiao, although you and Keming have an extraordinary relationship, I can't forge it for you. Because I can't disobey Master's orders!"
"Third brother!" Xia Keming was about to speak anxiously, but Xiao Rui waved his hand at him: "Keming, since the third brother can't disobey the master's orders, then let's not embarrass the third brother." But we still have to try the third brother's hand. ”
Xia Keming jumped up violently and said, "That's right, third brother, Xiao Rui said that he has a way to make your hand reborn." How about we do it right away?"
Xia Jinming was stunned for a moment, then his face gradually turned red, and he actually stood up excitedly: "Keming, what you said is true?
"Of course, Xiao Rui's father's bones are broken, and Xiao Rui repaired them, as long as he makes a move, it will definitely be no problem!" Xia Keming was already blushing with excitement, even more excited than his brother.
Xia Jinming was about to speak, but he sat down suddenly, and his face immediately turned pale: "No, my hand was cut by the master, and he just didn't let me forge it again in the future, and then use my hand." If I take it myself, wouldn't it be against the teacher's wishes? I can't do anything to be sorry for the teacher!"
Xia Keming was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said loudly: "Third brother, this matter is not your fault in the first place, and I have already found out the culprit, we can take this thing to your master, explain the reason to him, and he will definitely forgive you." ”
Seeing that Xia Jinming didn't squeak, Xia Keming said again: "Hmph, besides, your master is also confused, and such a good apprentice of mine has to cut off his hands." ”
Xia Jinming's face sank, and he said angrily: "Keming, you are not allowed to slander my master!"
Xia Keming still said: "Hmph, he was originally confused, knowing that you didn't do this, but he wanted to blame you, isn't this confusion? And you can inherit his mantle, who of your senior brothers can be better than you? In the end, he will definitely not be able to pass on his mantle!" Xia Keming became angrier and angrier the more he spoke, and his voice became louder and louder.
With a "bang", Xia Jinming's severed arm hammered on the table, and he said to Xia Keming with an angry face: "Don't talk about it anymore! What does it matter to you about the matter between our master and apprentice? Don't intervene in the future!"
"What's the matter with me? What do you say about me? My brother was cut off, what do you say is my business? You are my own brother! But that bastard master of yours cut off your hand, and if I don't cut him, I will already give you a lot of face, what's wrong with me scolding him?" Xia Keming's tone was more helpless and sad, and his eyes were already full of tears.
Xia Jinming listened, his eyes closed, he raised his head and sighed, sat upright on the chair, and did not continue to speak for a long time.
Xiao Rui hurriedly came to Xia Keming's side, hugged him in his arms, patted him on the back, and whispered in his ear: "Don't be in a hurry, let the third brother think about it for himself, and give him a buffer time." ”
Xia Keming nodded, soothing his emotions. stepped forward and stretched out his hand to hold Xia Jinming's arm, and said, "Third brother, let's go back to the house to rest first, and I'll come out to eat later." ”
When Xia Jinming opened his eyes, his eyes were also red, he glanced at Xia Keming, nodded and said, "You take care of your friends first, I'll go back and rest first." After speaking, he said hello to Xiao Rui and Luo Hong, and went back to the back room.
Xia Keming saw that Xia Jinming was gone, so he turned back to his seat and raised his eyes to look at Xiao Rui: "Alas, I didn't expect the third brother to be so stubborn." Daozun isn't in a hurry, is he?"
Xiao Rui smiled: "Don't worry, he has been waiting for so long, are you afraid of waiting for so many more days? Don't be too anxious, let the third brother think more about it, after all, it was his master who taught him the technique, and respect for the master is also respect for his own personality." We can't force him. ”
Luo Hong also said on the side: "Yes, I think the third brother actually wants to be reborn with his hand, but the idea of respecting the teacher is too serious, which restricts his original intention, and he must be very contradictory now! ”
Xiao Rui turned his head to look at Luo Hong and said with a smile: "Hehe, I didn't expect you to observe so carefully." ”
Luo Hongqiao blushed: "What's the matter? I can't see something?"
Xiao Rui smiled: "Yes, of course you can, you are a smart little girl!"
Luo Hong smiled and said, "That's not as smart as Brother Xiao! You are the smartest person!"
Xia Keming coughed a few times on the side and said, "Hey, hey, hey, you two pay attention, there is another person here! Don't ignore me directly!"
Xiao Rui's face turned red, and he scolded Xia Keming with a smile: "You kid doesn't study well all day!
Luo Hong smiled and said, "Since you are afraid of being ignored, then you can just walk away by yourself!"
Xia Keming laughed: "Okay, then the boy will create a chance for you, I have to go take a shower first! You two talk slowly!" After saying that, he laughed and ran out.
Xiao Rui turned his head to look at Luo Hong, and found that Luo Hong was looking at him with bright eyes, so he hurriedly said, "Yes, it's time to wash well!" After speaking, he hurriedly ran out of the living room and chased after Xia Keming.
