Early in the morning, Chen Jing and Cui Ying yawned and reluctantly left the bed that had been warmed all night.

The roar of silverback monkeys in the nearby mountains and forests, and the crowing of pheasants in the farmhouse, can pull you out of your sleep, no matter how dead and fragrant you sleep.

There are occasional angry scoldings of young men in the morning song, and if you listen carefully, it should be a disturbing dream or something, Chen Jing and Cui Ying are used to it, but they are still sleepy-eyed.

Out of the wooden house, as usual, the two of them got up the latest, and Master, Grandpa Dong, and Uncle Meng were already meditating in the courtyard.

The two villains greeted the three elders, and Mu Hongfeng just waved his hand to let the two of them wash up by themselves.

Cui Ying went to the stove room with a wooden basin, scooped up a few scoops of water and put it back on the stool, Chen Jing injured his hand and it was inconvenient to get wet, so the girl helped him soak his face towel in the water and wet it, and then took it out and wrung it out and handed it over, so that he could take it and wipe his face.

Compared with the previous fights, Cui Ying helped like this, Chen Jing was already very grateful, if she had to help her wipe her face, it would be pure dreaming and looking for death, Cui Ying would agree, Chen Jing didn't dare to accept it, and at the same time that he couldn't cover his face with a face towel, his fists also followed.

Cui Ying washed her face casually, every time she buried her face in the water and held her breath, and then raised her head when she couldn't hold it anymore, and when she was interested, she would squirt out the water she had sucked into her mouth while raising her head, repeating it two or three times, and then wiping her face with her hands casually.

After Chen Jing wiped his face with a towel, he finally came to his senses, and he could have been able to hold his breath and wash his face like Cui Niu, but when he saw her wet face towel first, it was rare to be kind enough to help herself, and she was unwilling to refuse this few kindnesses, even if she wanted to make a show in front of her master.

After washing, as usual, he stood on the pile and boxed, Chen Jing usually learned the sword in the evening, for fear of being too tired and delaying the next morning's schoolwork.

Cui Ying is boxing very hard today, and even harder, I can't wait to run to the master and tell the master bluntly that he has learned something, and there will be no problem in giving the master his old age in the future.

Chen Jing was originally boxing with her, and the rhythm was still in proportion, but in the back, the girl's boxing was getting faster and faster, and she had a bit of a taste of ignorance.

Chen Jing frowned and didn't keep up with her, it was likely to be himself who made a fool of himself at that time, and he stood with her to stand on the pile and box, Chen Jing asked for the word "stability" more often.

Cui Ying, who realized it later, noticed that something was wrong, and looked at the master out of the corner of her eye, who was just smiling, and didn't care about her careful thoughts, and the girl also calmed down, but she no longer deliberately asked for speed and weight when she punched, and slowed down.

Mu Hongfeng and the two old friends next to him said in their hearts: "Cui Yatou seems to have some talent, and it has nothing to do with her natural roots, I used a secret method to imprison her innate soul, so that she can feed her body while growing, this method is a bit indiscriminate and even vicious, but since I have taken a fancy to her, and accepted her for reuse as a disciple, I have taken some causal faults, and I will tell her the truth in the future, and I will be beaten and scolded here."

As for Xiaojing, I took him out, at first the original intention was to foster him in someone else's home, naturally it is a mortal family under the mountain, the family is a little more solid, a little rich is safe, borrow my name as a 'fairy', no one dares to treat him slowly, and it is not difficult to slowly integrate into the new home in the future.

There are too many things to do in the rich and noble family, and he may not be tolerated. On the contrary, if a child from a poor family becomes rich overnight, it is easy for a child with a pure nature to change his mood drastically, and it may harm him in the end. ”

Speaking of this, Mu Hongfeng said with emotion: "Maybe it's the bullshit 'there is a providence in the dark', or maybe it's just that I saw the heart of the child who should be high-spirited like ashes, I changed my mind, and now I think about it, it seems a little arrogant, but since I have done it again now, I have no regrets about quitting." ”

Mu Hongfeng tapped his fingers on the stone table a few times, "The things for these two children, how many or less, who has more and who is less, I probably have a number in my heart." The rest of the matter, it depends on how we teach, of course, it also depends on what path the two children take on their own, we just show the way for them to go, take a step back, they really take a fork in the road, and we can also pull them back to the right path. ”

Dong Chuanhai said in his heart: "Lao Mu, you don't have to comfort me deliberately, deliberately say good and obedient words, I can't wait for the day when the two children become a child, Meng Hao will leave when the agreement comes, and in the end, you have to do it yourself." ”

Meng Hao looked at Mu Hongfeng and said, "Lao Dong is right, you will indeed have to pick up the burden yourself in the future, this is a fact." It's okay to be hypocritical in small things, it's not interesting to be hypocritical in big things, you have to admit it if you don't recognize it, unless someone helps you, but your reputation is ruined, you can help you without asking for anything in return, you can afford to wait, and you can use your heart, can you come up with a hand? ”

Mu Hongfeng looked at the two children and muttered, "Time is running out, like the moon." ”

It seems to foresee that the two children have grown up, and they are still standing in the courtyard and boxing as they are now, or fighting like children, and still quarreling for the sake of their reputation.

A family is still a family.

Mu Hongfeng imagined the future picture and smiled with satisfaction, "Ignore it in the distant future, from today on, please ask the two old guys to work harder." It's still the same, I'll take care of what happens, and I guess the trouble is indispensable, after all, tomorrow is the real hardship. ”

Meng Hao imagined the sins that the two little guys were going to suffer, and shook his head and said, "Miserable! ”

Dong Chuanhai looked at him unpleasantly and said, "Standing and talking doesn't hurt your back." ”

Meng Hao didn't use the punching bag, "What you said is so unreasonable, how badly the elders are beating now, how close they will be to you in the future, whether the beating is kissing and scolding is love, haven't you heard of it?" ”

Dong Chuanhai still didn't plan to let him go, "Are you going to take it all in?" ”

Meng Hao turned his head away, not looking at this annoyed and angry old guy.

When he stood on the pile and boxed for two quarters of an hour, Mu Hongfeng asked the two apprentices to stop, hurriedly ate and then went to the school, and praised two nonsense sentences that were not salty or light, "strong and powerful", "tiger step wind". ”

Chen Jing's face is thin and unpraised, and he is uncomfortable, Cui Ying believes in the master's words, and all of them are used, and there will be a polite one or two, "Awards, awards." ”

Breakfast is just rice porridge, not thin or thick, filling the stomach is also cheating the stomach, every time I get out of class at noon, the stomach is flat calling, the two children have no complaints, and they will not think much about filling their stomachs in the morning.

Cui Ying simply thinks that she can eat three meals, and in this regard, it is much better than her hometown. After the death of the lonely and widowed old man who used to raise him, he did not have a fixed amount of food, and when he married his family during the New Year's holidays, he ate a fat belly.

And sometimes, you have to rely on well-wishers to help you eat, and when the situation is bad, you have to sneak into other stoves to steal food to survive.

Unlike now, when I had three meals a day and often had meat to eat, although I drank porridge in the morning and was a little hungry near noon, I ate a lot for lunch and dinner.

Chen Jingdi felt that eating was a blessing, when he was dying of hunger in the past, he took out the sweet potato in his arms and licked it, and when he was too hungry, he bit a small piece and chewed it repeatedly, at that time, most of his dreams were related to eating, and now that he was brought out by the master, he naturally cherished food very much, and even if he ate too much, he would have an inexplicable sense of guilt.

For the previous experience, Chen Jing didn't dare to easily forget, and it was impossible to forget, but the master once said, "If it's over, it's over, and try to get out of it slowly", and now that kind of guilt rarely appears.

As for the three elders, they naturally belong to the monks who do not eat grains and live for a long time, and accompanying the two children to eat is another form of "approachable".

After eating, the two little ones rushed to the school, and they didn't have to clean up the bowl in the morning.

Chen Jing poured half of his stomach with porridge, and when he ran up, he felt the porridge swaying in his stomach, like a big animal drinking enough water.

Cui Ying didn't dare to run too fast, she drank too much porridge by herself, and felt like it was going to spread from her stomach to her throat, so she subconsciously opened her mouth, wanting to let the porridge fall into her stomach quickly.

When I came to the outside of the school, I saw that there was no figure of Mr. Zhang inside, which was considered that the class had not started, but Mr. Zhang often came in after a cup of tea.

If you really want to be late for class, you will either honestly stand outside, or sneak in while Mr. Zhang is not paying attention, all of which are based on the principle of not disturbing Mr. Zhang's self-questioning and self-answering.

Chen Jing belongs to the former, she is late, there is a mistake first, Cui Ying belongs to the latter, why stand when she can go in and sit, but sometimes she will take the initiative to accept the punishment of standing, it is just boring.

As usual, take the futon and sit down at random, just close to the previous vacancy, Cui Ying put down the futon first to occupy a position, and he didn't sit down, he stood there with his head held high and patted his chest with his hands, wanting to let the rice porridge go down quickly.

It's still the same as usual, when the husband is not there, he is noisy, and he talks about all kinds of things, some say that his parents earn money in Zhao'an City, some say that his grandparents quarrel with others and win, some say that his family was robbed, and some say that he went to fight wild boars with his elders, and he expressed joy, anger and sorrow in life.

Before we could talk a few words of, Mr. came in.

The schoolchildren greeted each other, the husband nodded in greeting, and the daily morning reading began.

Chen Jing is generally clear about the two books taught by Mr. Zhang, whether it is the font or the meaning of the words, according to Mr. Zhang, seventy or eighty percent of the commonly used words in the world have been learned, and he can become a teacher in this small place.

In this primary school, Mr. Zhang can't or even dare to teach too well, the people in Zhao'an City have some snobbish eyes, looking down on the poor outside the city, naturally including teaching the poor people, he is helpless, teaching too well is easy to provoke people with a heart to move, it must be crooked, and there will inevitably be trouble.

If you really want to go further, you can only go to Zhao'an City and find those old masters who have been teaching for many years.

Chen Jing didn't think much about it, but later chose to read a book of "A Thousand Words" to relieve his boredom.

The children in the school are full of vitality, and the sound of reading in the morning is loud, and it seems that only at this moment all the people have thrown aside their joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and only the sage books remain.

Except for a guy who eats too much and can't bow his head and open his mouth to speak.

At noon, Mr. Zhang shouted, "Class!" Suddenly, a room of birds and beasts scattered, and Cui Ying, as the "first person under Mr." in the school, took the lead in the charge.

The round stomach caused by drinking porridge in the morning, being hungry at noon, has rebelled, and Chen Jing is in a similar situation, which reminds him of a sentence from the elders of the villagers, "Half a child, eat a poor old man." ”

Running home, Cui Ying shouted outside the door, "Master, I'm back!" ”

After entering the door, connect with a sentence of "Grandpa Dong!" Is the meal ready? ”

Seeing Meng Hao, he would shout without being salty, "Uncle Meng." ”

If nothing else, it will inevitably trigger the ridicule of the latter two, "Why isn't your honorific title the first?" ”

Often at this time, Chen Jingcai stepped into the door, said hello and went straight to the stove room to be a little helper.

Lunch was good, there were two roasted quails, and the two little babies could hold and nibble, and there was no need to fight. A large plate of wild pepper stir-fried meat, this dish tastes a bit extreme, the taste is excellent and extremely spicy, and it can be regarded as a deliberate refraining from two small gluttonous dishes, after all, the elders still have to have appetizers. There is also a plate of cold dishes, which is also comfortable to eat on a hot day.

After the meal, the two children took a nap for a while, continued to stand on the pile, and for about an hour, they were called to stop by the master and motioned to sit on their left and right.

Mu Hongfeng waited until the two of them sat down and said, "Master came back this time and brought some things, which are really rare and good things, and they will be of great help to your future cultivation." ”

Cui Ying asked, "Master, is it money?" ”

Chen Jing glanced at her and said, "You yourself are vulgar, don't think of the master as vulgar." ”

Cui Ying was unconvinced: "You can buy anything if you have money!" ”

Glancing at Master again, he shouted, "Master, am I right?" ”

The man in the center just squinted, ignored the bickering of the two villains, and said: "The reason why I am telling you this is purely to tell you in advance, so that you can have a psychological preparation, you will have to suffer in the future, it is not ordinary suffering, it will make you cry and regret the kind that was born from the mother's womb!" ”

The boy and girl were stunned after listening to Master's words, especially the last sentence, they had never heard Master say something in such a strong tone, and even the talkative girl didn't know how to answer.

"Of course, the good things that are brought to you are also prepared for the hardships after eating, if you can't bear this suffering, according to the book says, 'starve their bodies and skin, and strain their muscles and bones', if you can't do it, the good things are like grains of sand in your hands slowly passing away.

On the other hand, you have withstood the test, and what you have left behind will last you for the rest of your life. As you go further and climb higher, the benefits are almost endless and you cannot imagine it right now. ”

Cui Ying looked down and thought about what Master had just said, then looked up at Master, deducted his fingers, and after going back and forth twice, he finally couldn't help but ask, "Master, if, I mean, if I can't bear the hardships in the future, Master, will you dislike me?" ”

Mu Hongfeng looked at her, just thought for a moment and said, "Yes." Not much, but there will definitely be. ”

At this time, you can't coax them anymore.

Cui Ying pouted a little annoyed.

Chen Jing thought for a while and said, "Master, if I try my best in the future and still can't satisfy you, or simply say that I can't make it a master, will I still be your disciple?" ”

After Mu Hongfeng heard this, he looked at the clear eyes of this disciple, and the girl next to him who also heard the question and stared, he knew everything about what they were most worried about, and said softly with a smile: "You two will always be my disciples of Mu Hongfeng, and they are also my children." ”

After the two villains heard this, their expressions were obviously relaxed, hehe smirked, and Mu Hongfeng slapped them on the back of the head, asking them to take a break, and they had to continue to practice later.

Until dinner, Cui Ying's standing stakes and fists did not stop, and Chen Jing continued to practice slashing with his injured handsword.

When Cui Ying was eating, the clothes on her body were almost soaked with sweat, and Chen Jing's arms were already trembling.

After eating dinner in a hurry, the two villains wanted to go to sleep, and today's strength felt like it had been squeezed out.

Mu Hongfeng didn't stop them, but just told them to get up early, and they would continue and double every day in the future, and the two villains agreed weakly and went back to the house.

The three elders continued to drink in the courtyard, and when the moon rose in the sky, Mu Hongfeng looked up at the bright moon in the sky, knowing that it was almost time to do business.

In fact, it doesn't have to be so late, but if you really take that crucial step, you still have to worry about it.

Bending his fingers, a beam of light shot into the laurel tree, the osmanthus tree trembled from the bottom to the upper torso, and a layer of phantoms broke away from the original laurel tree, and grew up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the "umbrella cover" formed by the leaves of the whole tree continued to expand, and dozens of breaths of work have surrounded the entire courtyard, and there is a tendency to extend outward.

After this "phantom tree" grew, the moonlight in the courtyard, which was still quite bright, became hazy.

After Mu Hongfeng saw that the phantom tree was completely wrapped in the hospital, he waved his sleeves and other things in the hospital, including tables, chairs and benches, and even the other two thatched huts, all of which were taken away from his sleeves.

Walking into the bedroom of the two children, they did the same, and once again took away the other things that got in the way, and there were only two beds left in the room.

Looking at the two sleeping children on the bed, he took a deep breath and drank "town" softly.

Nodding to the two old friends, "It's time to do it." ”

took out a diamond crystal from the Qiankun bag in his sleeve, emitting a soft white light, and as soon as it came out, it was accompanied by a low thunderous sound.

The courtyard seems to be a world of its own, between the laurel tree and the "phantom tree" slowly began to accumulate some tumbling dark clouds, mixed with the lightning as thin as silk threads, the lightning is fine, but the sound is huge, and the rumbling sound is endless.

When Meng Hao saw this diamond, his eyelids jumped twice involuntarily, and he complained: "The cause and effect are too heavy, and ordinary people can't take it." ”

Mu Hongfeng said: "It's a headache now, and you won't have to scratch your skull later." ”

Meng Hao knew that there was no room for hypocrisy, and asked directly: "What do you want me to do?" ”

Mu Hongfeng pointed to the crystal suspended in the air, and smiled at Meng Hao: "Cut it." ”

"What?"

The thunder in the courtyard was no longer suppressed.
