Chapter 7: Bai Xiu

He pushed the door with his hand, but he didn't push it, and the door was secretly tied up from the inside. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

I heard a dense sound of the dishes and chopsticks inside.

Bai Yu didn't think much about it, waited for a burst of broken steps to come over, slowly opened the deadbolt, and muttered, "Why did you come back so early today?"

"Hungry. He didn't bother to pay attention to it, and casually gave a reason.

The door finally opened, and even though the woman in front of her wiped her mouth, Bai Yu could clearly see the oil on her thin lips.

It's not the first time he's seen anything like this.

"Brother, you're back!"

At the dinner table in front of him, a young man with good looks left the stool and called him affectionately.

The unhappiness in Bai Yu's heart suddenly subsided a lot, "Brother Xiu, when did you come back?" I haven't seen you for a few months, but you have grown a lot taller, and you are taller than me. As he spoke, his hand was about to put his hand on his shoulder, trying to compare his height with himself.

This is Bai Yu's younger brother Bai Xiu.

It is said that Bai Yu's mother gave birth to him and died of postpartum stroke, and Bai Li quickly took Erniang for him, and then gave birth to Bai Xiu. From then on, his status was declining, until he was nine years old when he was qualified to enter the temple to test his talents, and his status also dropped to the freezing point.

However, the relationship between the brothers was so-so.

Bai Xiu stepped aside, pointed to the food on the table, and said with a smile: "Brother, you wash your hands first, we are about to eat." ”

Bai Yu's body stiffened slightly, and he looked at his hand, which was not dirty.

His eyes swept over the table, where several sets of chopsticks were placed in their places, with a large plate and a plate of spicy grass in the middle. More than half of the dishes on the large plate were missing, and occasionally a little minced meat was exposed, showing that it was meat, marinated meat.

"Okay, eat. ”

There was an invisible fire burning in his heart, and the smile on Bai Yu's face also retracted, and he sat down in front of his seat, picked up the dregs in front of him and ate a big bite, and his eyes unconsciously swept the rice bowl next to him.

The other three bowls were eaten in half, and the top was hastily covered up with bran rice, but it was not covered, and the yellow, orange and orange corn underneath was still exposed.

"Eat, eat, eat!"

The woman twisted her body and walked over, sat down opposite him, pulled Bai Xiu to sit down, and then pretended to pull a small bite of rice into her mouth.

Bai Xiu also picked up the bowl, but quietly pushed aside the dregs of rice on it, and stuffed the corn rice under it into his mouth three times and two times. It seemed that he was a little weak-hearted, he glanced at Bai Yu, and when he saw him glance over, he squeezed out a little smile from the corner of his eye.

Bai Yu didn't see it, but also smiled at him kindly, picked up a spicy grass in front of him and put it in his mouth.

Just a drop of the juice from the spicy grass can make people's tongue tingle, their throat hot, and their whole body is as hot as fire.

Only this kind of spicy stimulation can swallow the bad bran rice, otherwise it can be scraped in the throat.

"I'm full, brother, you eat slowly. ”

After eating the corn, Bai Xiu glanced at Bai Yu, who was eating with relish, and stood up without even having the courage to try a bite of the bran rice.

He had never eaten bran rice since he was born, and after the age of ten he went to school to live in the school, Bai Li would bring him the best grain and cured meat every time he visited. The high amount of tuition makes the food in the school hall also good, so that he even looks down on corn.

I don't know if it touched one of his nerves, but at this moment he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

But then he thought that his status was different, and he would be able to soar in the future, let his parents live a good life, and even let the family move into Shanghe City, and the little apology in his heart naturally did not remain.

Bai Yu ate a bowl, and the bran rice was gone. He was nowhere near enough to eat.

But he didn't say anything, got up and walked to the corner, picked up the medicine hoe and the back basket, nodded and smiled at Bai Xiu: "I'm going to collect medicine." Perhaps, I came back late today. ”

If Bai Xiu hadn't disliked him like that just now, even if he watched him eat meat alone and eat corn, he wouldn't have any opinion. And the scene just now had made his heart completely cold.

He hadn't looked at Bai Li the whole time, and as for the woman, he hadn't opened his eyes to see her since he was nine years old.

Until she was ten years old, she had abused him a lot, and it wasn't until the last two years that he found a "strong inside" exercise method, and her body and strength were the same day by day, and she didn't dare to do it again.

Watching Bai Yu's back disappear into the distance, Bai Xiu smiled, "Brother's strength seems to be not small, I see that his waist and legs are strong and strong when he walks, and even Daddy can't compare." ”

"What's the use? It's just a body of dead strength, where is Xiu'er like you? You haven't finished talking just now, now tell your mother, how can you reward you for the teaching in the school hall this time?" Bai Xiuniang walked over and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, looked at Bai Xiu with a smile, and almost held him in the palm of her hand.

Bai Li's face was slightly guilty, but life was not easy, and in the absence of a choice, he naturally had to leave all his resources to the more useful one.

It's not useless for Bai Yu to pick herbs, every time he picks the herbs, he can exchange them for a good price, otherwise he can't afford Bai Xiu's academic qualifications.

However, his ability is not something that others can learn, and sometimes he doesn't know valuable herbs in front of others, and he talks about picking.

Bai Xiu's eyebrows fluttered and said: "Mother, I have already reached the strength of five and a half bulls! The teaching said that as long as I enter the Lanfeng Academy after the assessment, and practice for two years at most, I will probably step into the True Yuan Realm when I exceed the strength of the Seven Bulls and One Tiger, and then I will be stronger than the ordinary True Yuan Realm martial artists!"

"Ah, that's a great deal! Xiu'er, is that really what Jiao Xi said? My Xiu'er is really good!"

Bai Xiuniang put down the chopsticks in her hand, took Bai Li's hand excitedly, and almost didn't jump up.

Although she is a woman, she also knows what the meaning of Bai Xiu's words means.

The martial artists of the True Yuan Realm, in their small village, are respected like emperors, and they can hunt a lot of fierce beasts by going around the edge of the Fierce Tiger Mountain, which will not only be enough for their whole family to eat, but also scatter the excess meat to other hunters, maybe they can take the place of the current village head.

Bai Li also smiled when he heard this.

"Brother Li, I'll just say it, give Xiu'er more food, he will definitely be productive in the future! You see, Xiu'er is going to become a true Yuan Realm martial artist, and when the time comes, directly let the village chief take the position out to you, our whole family should have more face!"

Bai Xiuniang pushed Bai Li, half coquettish, half proud.

"Shhhhh

Bai Xiu didn't care about it, turned around and sat on the stool, and said slowly with a more mature expression and voice: "Daddy, don't be so careful, it's only a matter of time before I become a True Yuan Realm martial artist." I already have a plan to buy a manor in Upper River City and move in with my family. I will buy two maids to serve you, let my mother wear silk and satin, and let Daddy drink wine every day and eat meat at a meal. ”

What he was thinking about was the teaching in the school, and that bearing and majesty were engraved in his psyche, and he always wanted to imitate it. It's just that the teacher sits in a chair with armrests, and his hands are always on the armrests when he talks. At this time, he was sitting on a broken bench, and he could only put his hand on the thigh in front of him, which made him a little unpleasant.

"Brother Li, look at the Xiu'er I gave birth to, woo...... You still talk about me on weekdays, saying that I am too partial! But what kind of good life will Xiu'er let us live in the future? Silk and satin, that is what only the big families in the city can wear......

Bai Xiuniang fell into Bai Li's arms, beating his broad chest while crying happily.
