Chapter 26: Be a Sweeping Boy
Cui'er, who was immersed in the past, was awakened by the shouting in Xiao Wu's nightmare, she got up and walked to the couch, patted the frightened little master, and Xiao Wu in her sleep was comforted and gradually calmed down.
Nightmare is the sequelae left by Xiao Wu going to hell, before there were nightmares that Mu Bai soothed her at night, and after that, it was Cui'er, who accompanied the little lord every restless night.
"It would be great if Prince Mu Bai was still here! The little lord and the White Deer clan must still be very happy...... But now, alas, poor little lord...... It's okay to forget, if you forget, you won't think about the happiness of the past, and you won't know the deep hatred of the annihilation...... Then there will be no pain, and there will be no hatred!"
Cui'er gently wiped the cold sweat on Xiao Wu's forehead, while muttering to herself in her heart, tears unconsciously flowing again.
In fact, Cui'er was very worried and scared, Xiao Wu and herself were blown into the Nine Heavens by a hurricane from the ground of the Nine Springs, what will their future hold? Will their bodies be able to adapt to the environment of the Nine Heavens? Will they be like Queen Ling Xuan to the Demon Clan, will they be counterattacked?...... What's more, if the demon aura on her and the little lord is discovered by the Celestial Clan, they will definitely be killed.
We can't let the little lord fall into danger again!We must take her out of the Nine Heavens as soon as possible...... Alas, it's just that I'm injured, I'm afraid I can't protect the little master at the moment, it seems that I can only wait for the injury to get better, so I also have time to discuss with the little master, where to go next?
Cui'er kept weighing her plans in her heart, and she had already thought about it, she wanted to take the little master of Xiao Wu to the world, first, the little lord likes the world, second, the body will not be counterattacked there, and third, compared to the strength of mortals, she is more capable of protecting the little master.
Although Cui'er didn't bring much information, which made Xiao Wu feel sad and lost, she concluded that Cui'er was really good to her when she remembered Cui'er's desperate act of saving herself from the eagle's beak and protecting herself with her wings.
Xiao Wu suspected that Cui'er had hidden it from her, but after thinking about it, she fell into the wind tunnel and didn't remember what happened before, Cui'er also had the same experience, and it was entirely possible that she didn't remember, and she must not ignore Cui'er's kindness to herself because of her own suspicions.
Early in the morning of the second day, Xiao Wu saw Cui'er with red and swollen eyes, and then looked at the quilt that was still neatly folded on the couch, and understood that Cui'er hadn't slept all night, she sighed and asked slowly with concern: "Last night, why didn't you sleep?"
Cui'er had a cramped and uncertain look on her face, hesitated for a moment, and replied, "Little master, I'...... I can't sleep."
"Cui'er, I thought about it, since you and I don't remember anything, since we are both fallen people at the end of the world, I don't want the master and servant to be commensurate with each other, and it is inconvenient to send people under the fence...... From now on, declare to the outside world, you are my cousin, and in the future, you will call me Xiao Wu."
Cui'er turned around and bowed, "Little master, this can't be helped, this will kill the slave and maid."
"There's nothing to be left to chance, that's it...... The sky hasn't fallen, the days have to go on, Lai is not doing anything in Xiyi Immortal Mansion, and it is not a way, my Lu Xiaowu doesn't want to get something for nothing...... After a while, the two of us went to ask Master Xuanyuan and asked him to give him an errand, and when the injury was healed, we would make other plans...... Cui'er, do you think it's okay?".
"Okay, it's according to the little master's arrangement", Cui'er was glared at by Xiao Wu resentfully, and hurriedly changed her words: "Yes! Xiao Wu."
The prince Qingtian punished him as a slave, although Xiao Wu was worried, he didn't take it seriously, after all, he was his brother's friend, and he would always give some face, and he didn't see any movement for a few days, and he just scared her when he thought about it.
Changing into a clean dress, Xiao Wu took Cui'er to the Yuan Great Palace, just in time to see Xuanyuan's big apprentice Bingde, with a few junior disciples passing by, Xiao Wu and Cui'er explained their intentions, Bingde said that he couldn't call the shots about this matter, and he needed to ask the master.
As soon as the words fell, I saw Xuan Yuan walking out of the Yuanji Hall with an expressionless face, and the disciples saluted together, and Xuan Yuan nodded in response.
Xiao Wu took Cui'er to kneel down and salute, "Lu Xiaowu, I've seen the master", in the title of Xuanyuan, Xiao Wu still stubbornly called the master, this move caused Bingde to suddenly bend and frown.
"The wound on the leg, healed?
Xuanyuan looked down at Xiao Wu and Cui'er who were kneeling on the ground and asked, he didn't care about Xiao Wu's stubborn approach at all, and he didn't call Xiao Wu Xiaolu suddenly, and Gu Jing's face didn't change at all.
On the contrary, he didn't touch Xiao Wu, his face was confused and incredible, "You...... Aren't you called Xiaolu? Why are you called Lu Xiaowu again?".
The brothers and sisters looked at Xiao Wu with no stains, and they were also confused with questions on their faces, and they all stared at Xiao Wu with interest, listening to how she explained?
"Thanks to the master's rescue, Xiao Wu's injuries have all healed, the master's great kindness to save his life, Xiao Wu remembers the five insides, and will definitely repay him...... This is my cousin --- Cui'er, who was lost with me, and because I found my cousin, I knew that my name was Lu Xiaowu...... Before, before, I actually ...... I have lost my memory, I hope the master will forgive me, and I have to hide the hardship."
Xuanyuan still had an indifferent look, he just glanced at Cui'er, who bowed his head and was silent, in fact, as soon as the two of them came out of the small bamboo forest, he saw it. From Cui'er's gait and bearing, he concluded that this woman was a practitioner with some skills.
"Get up and speak...... You say, looking for something to do?"
The two of them thanked each other and got up, and Xiao Wu replied respectfully: "Yes, Xiao Wu has been coming to Xiyi Immortal Mansion for more than four months, and her life and healing depend on Xianfu, and she feels guilty from time to time...... We are separated from our families, and we hope that the master will take them in Xianfu to do some work, so that my sisters can have a place to stay, and beg the master to fulfill them."
Xuanyuan indifferently looked at the respectful and generous little girl in front of him, and after a while, he spoke: "Oh, okay! Then your sister will be a sweeping boy, responsible for sweeping and sprinkling in the fairy mansion and taking care of flowers and trees...... Bingde, take them to see An Ting".
"Master Xie!"
Those who promised to be virtuous, all of them gave their hands and sent Xuanyuan away. Senior brother Bingde took Xiao Wu and Cui'er to see An Ting, and asked him to send the two of them in the future.
Xiyi Immortal Mansion is very large, and Xuanyuan Zhenjun's position is also noble, but there are not many people in the Immortal Mansion, only Xuanyuan, five apprentices, An Ting and the four or five servants in charge, and the mother-in-law who takes care of Xiao Wu is the only woman in the Immortal Mansion.
The master and apprentice are all cultivators, and their requests are simple, except for the master Xuanyuan who is personally served by An Ting, the other apprentices' daily life and cooking are mostly taken care of by themselves, and the four servants have no division of labor except for one fixed care of food and refreshments, and they obey An Ting's random arrangement every day to do something that should be done at the moment.
On that day, An Ting asked Xiao Wu and Cui'er to change into the boy's robes and clean the courtyard and the main hall.
Cui'er and Xiao Wu have never done this kind of work, they are illegal, and Cui'er's injuries are still very serious, so the two of them are very slow. Cui'er felt sorry for Xiao Wu, she rushed to do all the dirty work, and often pulled her to sit down and rest. After being busy, it was already time to hold the lamp, and both of them felt exhausted.
Xiao Wu's room added a new couch for Cui'er to live in, Cui'er was embarrassed and didn't dare to live with the little master, for fear of breaking the rules. Xiao Wu said a lot of truths, and Cui'er finally agreed.
Before going to bed, Xiao Wu practiced the flute for a while, and the flute sound was invisibly mixed with a lot of sentimental sounds.
On the second day, as soon as the sky was bright, Cui'er tiptoed up and went out to clean the courtyard alone.
Cui'er thought as she worked, where did the little master suffer such a crime? There was a big change in the family, but she didn't know at all, and she couldn't help but feel sorry for Xiao Wu again...... I don't know how the little lord of Xiaofeng is now, whether he has been rescued from the secret room, and whether the clansmen have been buried or are still violently corpsed?...... Thinking about it, Cui'er wiped away her tears sadly. She knew in her heart that the only thing she could do now was to do her best to protect the little master, and what she could do at the moment was to share as much work as she could.
It was early spring, and Cui'er was sweeping lonely in this warm and cold and foggy dawn......
When Xiao Wu woke up, it was already dawn, and she shouted twice and no one answered. When I went out, I saw from a distance through the bamboo forest that Cui'er, who was cleaning alone, Xiao Wu understood everything, and her eyes suddenly turned red.
Xiao Wu consciously went to clean the Yuan Great Palace, because it was not used again after cleaning it yesterday, and the main hall was still clean and regular. Today's work has basically been completed under Cui'er's care in the morning, as long as you go to inspect and maintain it every hour.
After finishing her work, Xiao Wu stood on the white stone bridge in front of the Yuan Great Palace, looking up at the foggy front, her heart was at a loss......
Whose life is not confused, whose heart has not hesitated?
At this moment, Xiao Wu felt unprecedentedly lost and overwhelmed, her mind was empty, there were no people and fragments to recall, and her heart was even more empty and homeless, empty as if it was just a shell.
What should I do?Where is the road ahead?Where should I go?Xiao Wu was engulfed in the gradually thick, boundless clouds, and her heart was even more chaotic......
If you don't have a choice, you won't choose! If you don't have a road, you will go out on a road! I don't want to sink and can't sink, I'm not willing to live worthlessly! I want to find my family, find my past, and find happiness that belongs to me!
Xiao Wu was distressed, thinking and encouraging herself, she knew that she had no choice but to move forward step by step, she knew that the fog could not cover her eyes forever, she knew that after the fog was a sunny day, she wanted to find the warmth and hope of the sun!
"Be good at the moment...... Even if you are humble, you have to be worthy!"
Xiao Wu slowly made up her mind in her heart.
Thinking that Master Xuanyuan also let him take care of the flowers and trees, Xiao Wu looked at the flowers and trees in the Immortal Mansion. At a glance, I realized that in addition to the few rows of poor bamboos in front of my door, there were some large trees scattered around the wall, which were born and nurtured and did not need additional maintenance at all.
Xiao Wu pondered in her heart, since she had the responsibility of beautifying the Immortal Mansion, she should do something. The master has the grace of saving his life, which can make the master's life more comfortable, and it can be regarded as a little reward for himself.
Okay! If you think of it, you should do it! If you want to do it, you should do it immediately! Do it well, do it well!
