Chapter 7: Descending the Mountain

On the way down the mountain, Zhang Miaoshan was like a little bird flying out of the cage, and the chirping never stopped.

"Senior brother, are you going to elope with me?"

"Senior brother, where are we going?"

"Senior brother, did you tell the master?"

“……”

Zhang Xiuyuan's heart was already gloomy when he thought of his master's affairs, but now he was suddenly beaten by his own sister's noisy temples on both sides, and scolded sharply: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!" ”

“……”

Zhang Miaoshan was frightened by his fierce color, and swallowed back the words that had just come to his mouth, his face was full of grievances, and he couldn't figure out where he made his senior brother angry.

Seeing that the senior brother walked down the stairs with a cold face, without taking into account her emotions at all, the tip of her nose was sour, and the grievances in her heart were even worse.

Although she was annoyed, she still followed with steps, her face was curled and she didn't say a word, she was already secretly a villain in her heart, and she was still the kind of villain with the name of 'Zhang Xiuyuan' on her body.

I don't know if it was because it had just rained, the steps of the mountain road were slippery, or because she was absent-minded, her feet slipped, her body was unstable, and she was about to fall down the steps with a cry of surprise.

"Senior brother!!"

“……”

Zhang Xiuyuan's eyes were quick, and when he saw this, he subconsciously reached out and grabbed her arm, pulled her into his arms and hugged her, and saved her from the pain of rolling down the steps.

He frowned slightly and helped the half-master sister in his arms to stand up, and reprimanded: "What a big person, still clumsy." ”

“……”

Zhang Miaoshan bit his lower lip, and there was a layer of mist in his eyes, although he was a little unsteady standing with ankle pain, he seemed to be angry and turned his gaze away, not looking at him or speaking.

Zhang Xiuyuan also saw her abnormality, and his heart was angry and funny, and the dust in his hand waved at the steps behind her, and the water stains on the steps disappeared.

"Sitting..."

"Oh..."

Zhang Miaoshan sat on the steps of the mountain road with a huff.

Zhang Xiuyuan squatted down and removed the shoes and socks on her feet, revealing a white and tender little foot that was less than the size of a palm, with a beautiful arch of the foot, and the toes curled up slightly like beads, and the fly in the ointment was that the ankle was red and swollen.

He held the little foot in his hand and turned his ankle joint slightly, and asked without raising his head, "Does it hurt?" ”

“……”

Zhang Miaoshan stared blankly at his senior brother squatting in front of him, holding his feet, and he didn't know what he thought, his face was slightly hot, and his earlobes were dyed a little red.

"What about you? Deaf? ”

Zhang Xiuyuan saw her shy and timid appearance, and thought that she was not in pain, so he reached out and kneaded the red and swollen place again, and asked, "Does it hurt?" ”

"Hiss~~ It hurts, it hurts!!"

Zhang Miaoshan came back to his senses, grinned between his teeth, and subconsciously reached out to hammer his shoulder, shouting: "It hurts!" Senior brother, tap it! Tap!! ”

"That's fine, it's just a stumbling foot..."

Zhang Xiuyuan kneading her little feet disapprovingly, glanced up at the location of the mountain gate, and gave up the plan to let her sit and rest.

Dig out the ointment from the bag to invigorate blood and remove blood stasis, dig out a little and apply it lightly to the red and swollen area, and then put on her shoes and socks after applying it evenly, and then turn around and squat in front of her.

"Come up by yourself, I'll carry you down the mountain..."

"I'll just rest for a while..."

"If you want to come up, you will come up, where is so much nonsense?"

“……”

Zhang Miaoshan pouted when he heard this, but he didn't think much about it, and after getting up, he obediently leaned on his back, and a pair of pink arms were also wrapped around his neck.

She is a half-grown girl who has not yet fully grown, and it is estimated that she is only seventy or eighty pounds.

Although Zhang Xiuyuan has not practiced martial arts, he has cultivated himself for many years, and he has also cultivated a strong physique up and down the mountain all year round, and there is no pressure on his back.

When he noticed that the little man behind him was sticking to his back, he got up and checked it, held it with both hands behind his back, and continued to descend the mountain as if nothing happened.

Zhang Miaoshan saw that his senior brother was carrying him down the mountain, his steps were still brisk and vigorous, he waved his calves happily, and buried his face in his shoulders.

Immediately, she thought of her senior brother's attitude towards herself, and her face couldn't help but collapse, and she wanted to ask, but she didn't dare to speak, for fear of annoying her senior brother again.

After hesitating for a long time, her little face was tangled, but after all, she still didn't suppress the doubts in her heart, and muttered cautiously: "Senior brother......"

"Huh?"

Zhang Xiuyuan could also hear that the villain behind her seemed to be a little depressed, and thought that her ankle still hurt, and said with relief: "It's just that my foot is broken, bear with it, it won't hurt later." ”

"It doesn't hurt in the ankle..."

Zhang Miaoshan bit her lower lip lightly and asked in a mosquito-like voice, "Senior brother, do you hate me very much?" ”

"Hate?"

Zhang Xiuyuan paused at his feet, then continued to descend the mountain, and replied angrily: "If I hate you, I would have thrown you off the mountain a long time ago, and I would carry you down the mountain on my back?" ”

“……”

Zhang Miaoshan's face didn't know whether he was happy or sad when he heard this, and he asked again with a pout: "Then senior brother, why do you deliberately alienate me?" Sometimes you don't even look at me on purpose? ”

“……”

Zhang Xiuyuan didn't know how to answer this question for a while, he couldn't say that you look bluffing, junior sister, right?

And Zhang Miaoshan saw that he didn't answer silently, and thought that he had guessed it, and secretly thought that his senior brother really hated him, so he suddenly felt wronged, buried his face in his shoulder, and tears flowed out...

"When I was a child, you liked me very much, you would buy me delicious food, tell me stories, bathe me, and put me to sleep......"

“……”

"I also said that when I grow up, I will be your daughter-in-law."

“……”

"Now that I'm obviously grown up, senior brother, you deliberately alienate me, sometimes you don't even look at me, and you show impatience."

“……”

"If I do something wrong and make you angry, you can tell me, and I'll change it..."

"Don't be foolish..."

Zhang Xiuyuan stopped on the steps of the mountain road, listened to the sobbing and crying of the villain behind him, and said with a sigh: "You didn't do anything wrong, and you didn't make me angry." ”

He continued to descend the mountain with steps, and explained with a little embarrassment: "I didn't mean to alienate you, but because you have grown up, you are a big girl, men and women are different, and you need a sense of boundaries."

As for not looking at you sometimes, it's because... Well... It's because the red moles on your eyes and eyebrows are very characteristic and look solemn, and I look very stressed. ”

"Huh??"

Zhang Miaoshan blinked blankly when she heard this, but when she thought that her senior brother didn't hate herself, but that there was a reason for it, her heart was still sweet.

She took out a palm-sized bronze mirror from her bag, looked at her eyes at the mirror, and then looked at it again with a tense face, and it seemed that it was really as her senior brother said.

She frowned at herself in the mirror, and muttered, "Senior brother, then I gouged out my eyes, will you look at me?"

"Uh-huh???"

Zhang Xiuyuan was frightened when he heard this, and glanced at her with a side face, and when he saw her smiling appearance, he didn't know that she was playing tricks on herself.

He was embarrassed in his heart, bent his knees and let go of the little man behind him, turned around and twisted it on the slightly baby-fat little face, and rewarded her with a brain break.

After seeing his junior sister covering her face with one hand and holding her headache with the other, he coldly admonished: "I'm not smart in the first place, and if I talk nonsense, I will knock you into a pig's brain." ”

"Wrong, wrong, wrong..."

Zhang Miaoshan saw that his senior brother was really angry, and he couldn't care about the pain at the moment, so he dragged the corner of his clothes and muttered obediently: "Miaoshan knows it's wrong, senior brother, don't be angry..."
