When evening was approaching, Jiang Guining held a handful of thatch in one hand and a half-dead little snake in the other, and came back scolding all the way.

Lu Yangsheng saw the colorful clothes in his hand at a glance, his face suddenly became gloomy, he ran forward and snatched the colorful clothes, and said in a deep voice to Jiang Gui: "Little senior brother, how did you do with the colored clothes?" ”

Jiang Guining waved his hand and said with a frustrated face: "Don't mention it, I took this guy around the forest, thinking that he would help catch some game, who knew that in the end, not only did he not catch it, but he also tired himself half to death, and I had to carry her back." Bad luck, by the way, are you ready? I'm going to starve to death. ”

He ignored the anger in Lu Yangsheng's eyes, put the thatch aside casually, and was about to go to the kitchen to find food, but before he took two steps, he felt that his sleeve was grabbed, he turned his head and asked, "Why are you pulling me?" ”

Lu Yangsheng lowered his head, no one could see his expression at this time, but the anger on his body could be felt as long as he was a person.

"Little Senior Brother, tell me honestly, is it because of the matter of medicinal herbs, you have trouble going to Caiyi?"

Jiang Guining was obviously stunned for a moment, then pointed at himself and said, "No, am I such a person in your heart?" ”

Lu Yangsheng nodded, and there was almost no hesitation during this time. may also feel that he is a bit too much for his senior brother like this, so he nodded and added.

"After you left, I simply packed up my things, and then found that the medicinal herbs of Caiyi were gone."

Jiang Guining laughed angrily, he tore Lu Yangsheng's hand away, nodded at his head and said, "You kid can, just don't trust your senior brother so much?" No matter how cheeky I am, I'm not going to snatch a snake's thing, am I? ”

Lu Yangsheng glanced up at him, then quickly took a few steps back and said, "Who else here but you can take those medicinal materials?" ”

His tone softened a little, but his face was still ugly.

Jiang Guining didn't bother to say anything more, so he left a sentence, and then turned around to eat.

He said: "I'm too lazy to take care of you, if you lose the herbs, you can find them yourself, anyway, I didn't take them." I'm going to eat, and if you dare to bother me again, be careful that I'll beat you. ”

This was the first time Jiang Guining showed his anger, which made Lu Yangsheng feel a little helpless for the first time, he looked at Jiang Guining, and felt a little weak for the first time.

He lowered his head, looked at the colored coat he held in his hand, and carefully examined its body, until no obvious injuries were found, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

He asked in a low voice, "Caiyi, did my senior brother bully you?" ”

Although Caiyi was very weak, she still shook her little head.

This time it was Lu Yangsheng's turn to be puzzled, and he asked, "Didn't you become like this because the junior brother bullied you?" ”

Caiyi still shook her head. She seemed to be very tired, and after answering Lu Yangsheng's question, she slowly got into his sleeve, and there was no movement, leaving only Lu Yangsheng with an embarrassed face, not knowing what to do.

In the kitchen, Jiang Guining was drinking wine and eating meat, and when he saw Lu Yangsheng coming in, he snorted coldly, picked up his things and turned his head to continue eating, Lu Yangsheng opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only lower his head and go out to eat alone.

In the past, when the two of them ate, they always passed in Jiang Guining's noise, but this time neither of them meant to speak, so they finished the meal quietly.

After eating, the sky was completely dark, but because the sky was good, and the moon was about to be full, the earth was white, not much worse than the day.

Jiang Guining did not go back to the house to drink this time, but poured up his pile of thatch outside the house.

Lu Yangsheng wanted to go over to him to apologize several times, but he really didn't know how to open this mouth. It turned out that just now, Lu Yangsheng found Caiyi's medicinal materials under the guidance of Caiyi, which confirmed that he had wronged Jiang Guining, which made Lu Yangsheng, who was already guilty, even more unsure of what to do. In addition, he is not good at words, so it has caused the current situation.

Just when Lu Yangsheng really couldn't help but want to go to Jiang Guining to apologize, Jiang Guining took the lead in speaking, and he shouted: "Little junior brother, come here." ”

Lu Yangsheng was stunned for a moment, although he didn't know what he was going to do, he still obediently ran over.

When he arrived in front of Jiang Guining, he handed over a handful of packed thatch, and then said, "Don't you want to learn to weave straw shoes?" Come, I'll show you a demonstration, you learn a little bit. ”

Lu Yangsheng looked down at the thatch in his hand and asked in surprise, "These thatches are used to weave straw shoes?" ”

Jiang Guining said angrily: "Otherwise? I'm full, I have nothing to do, why do I come back with such a big bundle of thatch? Build a nest for your broken snake? ”

Lu Yangsheng was stunned and said, "But junior brother, aren't you unwilling to teach me?" ”

Jiang Guining sighed and said, "No way, who made you my junior brother." The little junior brother has something to ask for, and the senior brother doesn't agree. ”

Lu Yangsheng suddenly lowered his head and sobbed, "Little senior brother, I'm sorry. ”

Jiang Guining patted his head and said, "What are you crying for?" Could it be because of the night's events? Not. Didn't you just wronged your senior brother? What's the big deal. Let me tell you, you don't know what I did back then, just tell you, most of the black cauldron that our senior brother carried back back then was put on by me, and I didn't see a stupid big man. So in our division, it's all an old tradition, it's okay. ”

But the more he said this, the worse Lu Yangsheng cried. After all, he's just a twelve-year-old kid.

In the end, Jiang Guining was annoyed by Lu Yangsheng's crying, and then threatened him not to teach him to weave straw shoes, so Lu Yangsheng stopped.

Jiang Guining breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to teach.

With the help of the moonlight, Lu Yangsheng studied very seriously. After Jiang Guining demonstrated it, he asked, "How is it?" Have you learned? ”

Lu Yangsheng nodded and said, "I have learned a little bit, but I don't know if I can do it." ”

Jiang Guining said: "Then you can try, I'll watch from the side, if you can't do anything, you can ask me." ”

Lu Yangsheng nodded, and then began to make it up like Jiang Guining.

After a while, Jiang Guining looked a little bored on the side, so he asked casually, "Little junior brother, do you want to ask you something?" ”

Lu Yangsheng stopped his movements and looked up at Jiang Guining's face, and said with a serious face: "Little Senior Brother, you ask, I'll listen." ”

Jiang Guining hurriedly said: "You don't need to stop, you just need to make your shoes, I just ask casually, don't be so cautious." ”

Lu Yangsheng said "oh" at this time, and continued to busy his own affairs.

Jiang Guining asked, "Little junior brother, why are you so obsessed with the matter of shoes?" ”

Lu Yangsheng's movements paused slightly, and then replied: "Because my mother said that people can walk long distances because they wear shoes on their feet, and with shoes, even if the mountain road is muddy and full of thorns, they can stride over." ”

Jiang Guining was puzzled: "Just because of this?" ”

Lu Yangsheng nodded.

"When my mother said this, it was when I was three years old. At that time, I was naughty, I always liked to run barefoot, and my mother chased after me every time to put shoes on me, but I just didn't want to, until one day my mother got angry, and she said that to me with a new pair of tiger shoes. She also said that after wearing A-Niang's shoes, no matter what happens in the future, I don't have to be afraid, and I can rest assured that I will go over, because A-Niang's shoes are dragging me under my feet. I've been wearing shoes ever since. All the way up to ......"

The more he spoke, the quieter his voice became, until he was silent.

Jiang Guining nodded and said, "So now that you feel like you're going out of town, you have to find yourself a pair of shoes?" ”

Lu Yangsheng gathered his thoughts, nodded and said, "That's it." And I'm going to walk a long way, if I don't wear shoes, A-Niang will not be at ease. ”

Jiang Guining raised the gourd in his hand and took a sip of wine silently, and the two of them fell silent.

After a while, Lu Yangsheng seemed to feel too dull, so he asked with a smile: "Little senior brother, I have a secret, do you want to hear it?" ”

Jiang Guining said: "Say it, I'll listen." ”

Lu Yangsheng said: "Actually, when I was kicked out of the old house, I secretly hid something, guess what? ”

Jiang Guining had already guessed it, but he still shook his head and said, "How do I know what you will hide?" ”

Lu Yangsheng said with a smile: "Just guess." ”

Jiang Guining pretended to be puzzled and said, "Money? ”

Lu Yangsheng shook his head.

He added, "Valuable old things? ”

Lu Yangsheng still shook his head.

Jiang Guining patted the wine gourd and said, "I don't guess, just say it!" ”

Lu Yangsheng said: "It's a pair of little tiger shoes!" It was made for me by my mother on my fourth birthday, but I didn't want to wear one, and after Daddy and Auntie had an accident, I hid it, and I took one with me. It's just ......"

Jiang Guining asked, "It's just what?" ”

Lu Yangsheng shook his head with a smile and said, "It's nothing, it's just that it was burned in the fire not long ago, but it's okay, didn't I learn how to weave straw shoes from you now?" In the future, I can make straw shoes for myself to wear, and after A-Niang knows, she will definitely not worry about me, and she will not be angry because I lost my shoes. ”

He said it easily, but Jiang Guining could hear the sadness inside.

Jiang Guining suddenly said, "Wait a minute, I'll show you something." ”

Then he ran into the house.

After a while, Jiang Gui condensed out, still holding something in his hand.

He handed it to Lu Yangsheng and said, "Look, is this your little tiger shoe?" ”

Lu Yangsheng took it, just glanced at it, and tears fell like rain in an instant. Although there was only one, he recognized this pair of shoes at a glance, which was the only relic left to him by his mother back then.

He said in a trembling voice: "It's mine, it's A-Niang who left it to me." ”

Jiang Guining explained: "Didn't I go to your little broken thatched hut when I went to look for you? That's where the shoe was picked up. Although there is only one. But at that time, I didn't know why I felt fate at the first sight of it, so I picked it up. Now until it's yours, it's back to its owner. ”

Lu Yangsheng couldn't cry anymore, so he could only nod frantically.

Jiang Guining said: "I calculated the time, it's almost time for us to leave the town." It just so happens that you have a thought when you wear these shoes, and it will also be good for your cultivation. ”

Lu Yangsheng choked up and said, "Are you leaving?" ”

Jiang Guining nodded: "I'm leaving." I've been traveling, and I've been in the town for so long because of you, and now that you've apprenticed, it's natural to leave. Next, after helping you solve the affairs of the town, you can take back your old mansion, and we will have to go on our way. ”

Lu Yangsheng clenched the shoes in his hand, nodded and said, "Little senior brother, I will do it as soon as possible." ”

This night, Lu Yangsheng hugged a pair of shoes and slept very sweetly.
