Section 9 Children who are difficult to return home

When Yusheng was happily walking into the cave, he suddenly saw a person sitting on the stone platform, Yusheng was excited, the fruit in his hand spilled all over the ground, and tears flashed in his eyes, and after being stunned for a while, Yusheng finally pounced, hugged the man, and cried: "Master, I finally see you again, don't leave Yusheng behind, okay?" ……”。

Bai Zhengbo gently stroked Yusheng's head and said with a smile: "Silly boy, how can the master not want you, don't cry, let the master take a good look." As he spoke, Bai Zhengbo picked up Yusheng, looked at it carefully for a while, and said lovingly: "Alas, this stupid kid has lost a lot of weight ......."

Yu Sheng wiped her tears and said happily, "Master, I am most happy today. ”

Bai Zhengbo also smiled, patted his back gently, and said, "Yes, Yusheng has suffered a lot during this time, hasn't it?" I've heard what your master said, but when it comes to this, do you know what is the master who is most angry with you? It's a manly husband, how can he talk about suicide lightly! What's more, I'm still crying and crying! ”。

Hearing what the master said, Yusheng hurriedly wiped away her tears, got up from the master's arms, knelt down and kowtowed to the master three times, and said: "Thank you for Master's repeated teachings, Yusheng will no longer be a spineless person, Yusheng will obey the master's orders and set great ambitions and be a great hero who stands up to the sky and the earth." ”

Yusheng's words made Bai Zhengbo feel pleased, and he hurriedly pulled Yusheng up and hugged him in his arms, and said happily: "Good boy, good boy, this is my Bai Zhengbo's good apprentice!" After he lost his memory, no one had ever hugged him like this, and the master seemed to suddenly give him a long-lost fatherly love, this feeling he had never hoped for, and his eyes were blurred with sour feelings in his heart, but he suddenly thought of how the oath he had promised to the master just now could make a mistake again, so he held back the joy and excitement in his heart, and instead held the master's hand, and said: "Master, Yusheng must not disappoint your expectations." ”

Bai Zhengbo happily patted Yusheng's shoulder and said, "Yusheng, you are more sensible, I am really happy to be a teacher, come, see what delicious food the master has brought you." As he spoke, he took out two white-flour steamed buns, a plate of peanuts and two chicken thighs from a bamboo basket beside him. At this time, Yusheng didn't mention how happy he was, he grabbed the white steamed bun and devoured it, while Bai Zhengbo smiled and said: "Slow down, don't choke, look, look, look, alas...... Slow down, there's water here. After a while, the two steamed buns were eaten by Yusheng.

Bai Zhengbo handed the chicken legs and peanuts to Yusheng again, but Yusheng blushed and said, "Master, I, can I save these for the evening and eat them?" ”

Bai Zhengbo smiled slightly and said, "After eating, the master will send it again in the evening." ”

But Yusheng hesitated for a while, and said, "Master, you don't earn much money, not to mention that you have also waived the tuition fees for me and a few children in the neighboring village, and I have caused so much trouble to Master, and besides, the little junior sister's illness also needs money, I think...... I think ......, Master won't have to worry about my food, there is a lot of food to be found in this mountain, really. ”

Yusheng's words couldn't help but make Bai Zhengbo's heart tremble slightly, recalling his ambitions and dreams when he was young, but in this troubled world, he became helpless to serve the country, of course, if he is willing to give up his personality and conscience, with his father-in-law Liu Qi, the deputy general of Liu Xiufan, the king of Guiyang, why worry about glory and wealth! But what will it become, just a walking corpse. Although his current life is embarrassing, he lives innocently and freely. Thinking of this, Bai Zhengbo looked up at Yusheng again, smiled, and said secretly in his heart: After all, this child has endured hardships, and only by understanding hardships can he understand what wealth is. Thinking of this, he asked Yusheng: "If you only eat wild fruit snakes and insects all year round, how can your body be able to eat it, so this meal must be eaten." As for Master's family background, do you have an idea? ”

Yusheng was stunned for a moment about Master's question, because he felt that Master seemed to be testing him, but after thinking about it, he told Master that he wanted to help others do some work, Bai Zhengbo smiled slightly, and said: "Unexpectedly, my Yusheng has grown up and knows that he wants to be self-reliant, hahaha......." ”

Yusheng touched his head embarrassedly when Master said this, and said, "Master, don't laugh at me, I just want to do something, but I don't know what to do yet!" ”。

Bai Zhengbo said with relief: "It's very good to have this heart, don't think too high about everything, you can go well one step at a time." In this way, in this year, you have also read a lot of books on medicine and stones, I will talk to the shopkeeper of Jimintang in Hangzhou City, let you go to help collect medicines, carry medicine bags, and do some chores, how about it? When Yusheng heard this, he nodded happily.

Bai Zhengbo gently stroked Yusheng's head and said with a smile: "Silly boy, don't be so happy, you finish your work every day, and you must also familiarize me with your secretary, in addition, the master plans to start teaching you the basic internal skills, can you persevere?" ”

Yusheng looked at the master excitedly, nodded hurriedly, and said, "Yes, I will definitely be able to." ”

Bai Zhengbo patted Yusheng with satisfaction and said, "Good boy"

Subsequently, Bai Zhengbo took out a book from his sleeve and handed it to Yusheng, which read "Qingyang Neijing" on the letter. Bai Zhengbo pointed to the book and said to Yusheng: "This book originated from Jingyangjun, the younger brother of King Qin Zhao during the Warring States Period, although this person is a royal family, but not only is he a generalist in civil and military affairs, but he is also good at internal cultivation, so he wrote some of his cultivation methods in the book, and collected them by his cronies and disciples for generations, and obtained them for my master twenty years ago, and then passed them on to me, and now I will pass it on to you, you have to study it carefully." ”

Yusheng nodded, and Bai Zhengbo continued: "Although this book is not a peerless martial arts secret book, it can give practitioners a better foundation, and it is more complicated than the previous books that Master asked you to practice. In addition, this Qingyang Neijing helps to integrate the various internal energy and mental methods, so it must be cherished. Yusheng nodded again.

Bai Zhengbo opened the book and carefully explained the basic introductory method of internal strength cultivation for Yusheng, and Yusheng also meticulously memorized every essentials taught by the master, and before he knew it, it was getting late, and Yusheng's stomach began to bark like a frog after the rain, and Bai Zhengbo also felt a little hungry, so he stood up and said to Yusheng: "Go, go home and eat." As he spoke, he grabbed Yusheng and walked out of the cave, but Yusheng stood hesitantly and did not move.

Bai Zhengbo looked at Yusheng puzzledly and said, "Why don't you leave, hasn't your stomach been screaming for a long time?" ”

Yusheng said with a sad face: "Master, I still live in this cave." ”

Bai Zhengbo said strangely: "Do you want to live in this cave all the time?" Yusheng nodded.

Bai Zhengbo said unhappily: "You still live in your original room, this is what your master said." Yusheng almost didn't believe his ears and looked at his master in surprise.

Bai Zhengbo smiled slightly and said: "Your master has such a heart in her heart, but she is often a knife-mouthed tofu heart, she is also very sensible, and she also knows what is right and what is wrong, didn't she save you when you fell off the cliff?" Yusheng was silent, remembering the scene of that day, indeed, if it weren't for Shi Niang, he would have died a long time ago, but I don't know why I always feel afraid to see Shi Niang, and Shi Niang always ...... coldly. Bai Zhengbo seemed to guess Yusheng's thoughts, patted him, and said with a smile: "Are you a little afraid of your master?" Hearing this, Yusheng nodded again.

Bai Zhengbo sighed softly and said with a smile: "This time, your sister is a little emotional because of Qingqing's matter, this is also an instinct of being a mother, don't blame her." Do you know that the meals brought by the teacher today are still made by your teacher's wife! At this time, Yusheng couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude and an indescribable warmth, his moist eyes looked at the master stupidly, and he couldn't express it in words for a while, thinking back on the past year or so, although the master did not care for herself as much as the master, at least she also bought herself new clothes and patches! And Shi Niang already knew her identity, but she never said that if she really didn't allow herself, she could kill herself without being so uncomfortable.

Thinking of this, Yusheng suddenly knelt down for the master and said, "Master, the disciple is really a person who doesn't know what to do, and he has wasted the favor of the master and the master for the disciple. Bai Zhengbo was stunned for a moment, then pulled Yusheng up and comforted: "People are not sages, who can do nothing, okay, let's go" Yusheng happily took the remaining food in the basket and walked out of the "stone in the scene" with the master.

When he walked out of the stone scene, Bai Zhengbo turned around and glanced at the hidden place among the rocks, and said to Yusheng: "Yusheng, don't tell your junior sister about this place, otherwise you won't even find a place to practice in the future." ”

Yusheng smiled: "This is where Xiao Hei brought me, oh, by the way, Xiao Hei, I didn't see it in the morning." As he spoke, Yusheng kept looking around.

Bai Zhengbo smiled: "Don't look for it, when I came in the morning, I saw it wandering around outside Qingqing's house for a while, and then ran away, I don't know where I am staying now." Speaking of which, this dog is also very peculiar, it can grow so big, people who don't know think it's a wolf demon. ”

Yusheng felt the same way, so he said: "I also think it's too big, a little unbelievable." ”

Bai Zhengbo snorted and said, "However, we don't have to worry about it being slaughtered, and everyone who sees it will be scared away." ”

After a while, the master and apprentice came to the bamboo house, and through the crack in the window, Yusheng saw that the master was busy cooking with her sleeves rolled, while the little sister was lying on the bamboo couch tearing some red paper indiscriminately, as if she wanted to tear out some shape. A burst of cold sweat broke out in Yusheng's hands, as if walking into this warm hut made him even more nervous than walking into the Qin family's compound back then. He followed behind his master and entered the house tremblingly. As soon as Bai Qingqing saw Yusheng walking in, she clapped her hands happily and wanted to jump down, and shouted in her mouth: "Senior brother, senior brother, Qingqing is here." ”
