Chapter 3: Apprenticeship

When night falls, the snow falls in the maple forest, the thick snow on the thatched roof reflects the light of the moon, the turquoise banana trees shiver under the strong wind, and the snow falls into the maple forest, and the waning moon shines in the sky.

Inside, in the dim light of the animal oil lamp, Twilight sat on a chair, looking at his feet helplessly, only to see a dirty little boy hugging one of his thighs tightly, staring at the old man with a sly face.

"I said little beggar, you have been pestering me for a long time, if you are not tired, I am tired, let me ask you, do you really want to practice martial arts so much?"

"Master, will you just accept me, I will pack the meals and laundry in the future, do you think about it?" At this time, Ye Chen already didn't know what his face was, from the afternoon to now, it can be said that he has tried his best, and he has taken turns to sell cuteness, but this old man has not seen his mouth loose, and it is very difficult to bite.

No matter how difficult the bones are, they can't withstand the tenacity of the dripping stones, and Dusk Gully finally couldn't stand Ye Chen's tireless harassment, and promised to go back to the room and fall asleep in a hurry.

The little beggar, who had fulfilled his wish, came to the small room assigned to him with excitement and longing, and the simple cotton wool and bedding on the bed brought him a long-lost warmth. This was undoubtedly a luxury in the previous days of displacement.

The little beggar who found the avenue leading to the martial arts had a smile on his face, and when he was about to enter the dream realm to discuss his life with Zhou Gong, a thunderous snoring sound frightened Ye Chen to turn over and sit up, and his sleepy-eyed little face smiled helplessly, "It seems that the master is not only talented in martial arts, but also extraordinary." ”

In the early morning of the next day, before dawn, Ye Chen's closed door was kicked open, and Ye Chen, who woke up, stared fiercely at this guy who disturbed his dreams with two huge black circles under his eyes, the good guy didn't let himself sleep this night, and he came to do things early in the morning, but he didn't dare to say anything, although Ye Chen hadn't read any books, he always knew how to respect the teacher.

"Stinky boy, still sleeping, look at the sun on your buttocks, hurry up and cook for me." Dusk Yuxiong looked at the cheap apprentice in front of him and became angry, thinking that the young people nowadays are just lazy, no, his precious granddaughter is still on the bed and there is no movement!

Ye Chen looked at the sky outside the house, and immediately rolled his eyes, it was dark outside the house, where did the sun come from to dry his buttocks, the moon dried his buttocks, it was real.

Complaining is complaining, the meal still has to be cooked, and the scene he saw when he got up and came to the outhouse made Ye Chen couldn't help but feel a little emotional, on a nest made of withered grass in the corner of the house, the white fox snuggled tightly on the bald back of the big black dog, warming each other, reminding Ye Chen of a friend he made when he was wandering before, in the cold season, the girl who always likes to talk about whether men and women give or don't kiss each other always takes advantage of him to fall asleep at night and secretly hugs him behind his back, thinking of this, the corners of Ye Chen's mouth rose slightly, and he walked into the kitchen with steps.

Soon, the fragrant meal was served on the table, and the bedridden twilight Yan was forcibly interrupted by his grandfather, and the resentful little face did not ease up a little until he saw the food on the table.

"Xiao Yan, help grandpa bring the apricot blossom wine, let's drink it today. ”

Twilight rolled her eyes, it seems that every time you are drunk alone, that's called a happy ah, and it is also beautiful to say that what life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon, what life is rare to get drunk, but which month is not drunk more than ten or twenty times!

Today is the day of the little beggar's apprenticeship, and the apprentices of others worship the master to show respect, but the twilight Xiong thinks that the bland and tasteless tea is so delicious?

Soon the wine was presented to the table, and Twilight Xiong immediately opened the lid, smelling the aroma of the wine and being intoxicated for a while, seeing Ye Chen's embarrassment, he couldn't be a little master, how could he brag with his friends before in the future?

"Come, little beggar, fill it up for the master. Twilight Gully said impatiently: "And then I will also give it to myself, as my apprentice of Twilight Gully, you must be able to drink, drink this bowl of wine, you will be considered a formal apprentice." ”

Ye Chen respectfully filled the big bowl in front of Twilight Gully, then filled it for Twilight Xiyan, and finally filled his own big bowl with it, and said respectfully: "Master, please~." ”

Twilight waited for this sentence, laughed and drank the wine, put down the bowl, "Come on, fill it again." ”

Ye Chen obediently filled the bowl of Dusk Gully Xiong with the unique apricot blossom wine of Jizhou City again.

"Come, let's drink together. Twilight Gully took the lead in raising the bowl, Twilight Yan Yechen raised the wine bowl separately, and then the three of them drank it all.

"Ahem, ahem, master, this wine is so strong. Ye Chen put a bowl of wine into his stomach, and suddenly felt that his stomach was a little upside down, his mind was dizzy, and his throat was hot.

"Hahaha, I love spirits very much, and this apricot blossom wine is the most among the spirits, your sister doesn't like to drink, and today it happens that your apprentice has made an exception to drink a bowl, which is quite rare. Hearing this, Ye Chen bowed his hand to Twilight Yan to show his gratitude, and Twilight Yan also bowed, revealing an expression that even if you still have a little conscience.

"Come, let's have a good drink with the master and apprentice. Where is Ye Chen, who drank for the first time, who is the opponent of Dusk Gully, under Twilight Gully's next "warm invitation", it didn't take long for his head to fall directly on the table and fall asleep.

I don't know how long it took, Ye Chen finally struggled to get up from the bed, and came outside the house, the sun had begun to set in the western mountains, and the heavy snow had stopped falling.

"You're awake!" asked Twilight asked softly.

Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, the usually rude senior sister would also care about people? Such a gentle tone is not like her at all! Just when Ye Chen was stunned, the next sentence of Dusk Xiyan suddenly knocked him back to the prototype.

"Since you've woken up, let's go to work," said Twilight Yan Yu, pointing to the huge maple tree lying across the road, "Chop it all into firewood, and eat when it's finished." ”

"Ah!" Looking at the behemoth, Ye Chen only felt a headache, and habitually scratched his head and said, "Senior sister, my head hurts, can I split it again tomorrow?"

"No, go right now. Twilight frowned coldly, looked at Ye Chen fiercely, and was so frightened that the latter rushed to the maple tree as soon as he slipped into the house and took an axe, and slashed with the axe in both hands.

Seeing that this little junior brother was quite obedient, Twilight Yan continued to tease her little cat and big dog, and supervised the little junior brother to work by the way, so there was such a scene next, in the snow-covered maple forest, a delicate girl happily chased with a kitten and a big dog, and a yellow-mouthed child was struggling to chop the maple tree taller than him on one side, playing and playing on one side, but sweating like rain on the other side.

When the moon was in the sky, the lonely boy locked the cold winter late at night, and when the twilight male came back, the sky was already shining with the waning moon, and the stars were dotted, and he saw that his apprentice was still chopping firewood there, and he didn't say anything, and walked past Ye Chen without turning a deaf ear.

The night is deeper, the little beggar is still chopping firewood, not daring to be lazy at all, compared to before, Ye Chen, who found the trick, is chopping firewood faster and faster, and when he arrives, he has broken up the whole maple tree by nearly half, panting and sitting on the firewood for a while, turning his head to look at the hut, the door of the hut emits a touch of light, presumably the master left a lamp for himself, Ye Chen felt a warmth in his heart, and decided to finish the work tonight.

The next day, before the stars had dissipated, the maple trees on the road had disappeared, and the piles of timber on the left side of the hut were quite spectacular.

The old man's sleep is much less than that of the young man, when Twilight Xiyan was still in a dream, Twilight Gully Xiong had woken up, and the sound of pots and pans outside the room seemed to appear too early, and when he came to the kitchen, Ye Chen was just finishing up, Ye Chen, who was holding a pot of dishes, saw his master and immediately showed a smile, Twilight Gully nodded, and after Ye Chen put the dishes on the table, he gave him an extremely difficult task - to get Twilight Xiyan up.

When Ye Chen received this task, he couldn't cry or laugh, the master was too lazy, and now he even threw this kind of thing to him, really, but the master's fate was difficult to disobey, he walked quickly to the door of the senior sister's room, and gently knocked on the door, there was no movement inside, and then buckled, there was a tumbling sound and the irritability of being disturbed to the dream**.

Seeing that the senior sister was still reluctant to get up, Ye Chen had no choice but to increase the strength and frequency, this time Dusk Xiyan finally woke up, after hearing the movement of the senior sister getting out of bed, Ye Chen smiled, just when he was about to give this senior sister a first bright smile in the morning, the door "slammed" It was opened with a bang, and a slender jade hand climbed up to Ye Chen's ear from the crack in the door, the smile on Ye Chen's face immediately froze, and he felt that the hand that pinched his ear was slowly rotating hard, and just when he felt that his ear was about to fall off, the rotating force turned into a pulling force that brought Ye Chen's whole person to the room.

In the next ten minutes, the girl's abuse and the boy's pain continued to be heard in Twilight's room, and Twilight Gully Xiong, who was sitting at the table, looked helpless: "Disciple, it's really hard for you." ”

Obviously, there is nothing to do with this brutal and willful granddaughter, Twilight Male.
