Chapter 16: Identifying Your Neighbors
The woman who was washing clothes rubbed the water droplets on her hands, stood up and walked over to the two, and said with a smile: "Why is Sister Kong here, is this child new to Luoyang Peak?"
Kong Xiaogu nodded at her, and then smiled: "Xu Ting, you are the biggest in this courtyard, this is Murong Ni, you take care of her in the future." ”
Xu Ting walked over with a smile, patted Murong Ni's shoulder gently, and then took her to her side with a smile, and said to Kong Xiaogu: "I know, it just so happens that there is still a vacant seat in my room, and I will pack it out for Xiao Ni'er to live in later, and I will bother Sister Kong to run this trip!"
As soon as Xu Ting finished speaking, two little girls about fifteen years old ran out of a room with a smile, and after seeing the people in the courtyard, one of them hurriedly ran over with a smile: "Sister Kong, hello!, is this our new neighbor?"
Kong Xiaogu also smiled and said, "You two run slowly! This is Murong Ni, she will be your new neighbor in the future, you two are not allowed to bully her!"
"Got it, got it!" Another little girl ran over and pulled Murong Ni to look left and right, looking up and down, Murong Ni thought she was looking at herself, but she didn't expect her to praise immediately: "Ah, this dress is so beautiful, this material is also soft, it must require a lot of spirit stones!"
"I'll take a look, I'll see!" Hearing the little girl say, another person couldn't help but run over to see, they surrounded Murong Ni one by one, their eyes full of envy.
Kong Xiaogu looked at their appearance and sighed helplessly, Xu Ting saw this, so she tore the two children apart, pulled Murong Ni and said to them: "You two are making a lot of trouble, will you chase and fight after the work you received yesterday is done?" ”
The two of them made a grimace at Xu Ting together, and then said slyly: "Aren't we coming to see a new neighbor!" Xiao Nier look at me, my name is Tong Wei, I am fifteen years old this year, this is my sister, her name is Tong Yue, she is one year younger than me, fourteen this year! How old is Xiao Nier this year?"
Murong Ni didn't know how long it had been since she had a playmate, and at this time, her heart was full of uncontrollable joy, and she hurriedly smiled and said to them: "I am also fifteen this year!"
"Huh?" Tong Wei looked surprised, and Tong Yue also looked incredulous, and said, "Little Nier, I think you are shorter than Wan Xiaodie. ”
As she spoke, Tong Yue turned her head to the little girl who was sweeping the floor and shouted, "Fluttershy, Fluttershy, come here, who are you taller than Little Nier!"
Hearing this, Wan Xiaodie put down the broom in her hand, walked over and smiled shyly at Murong Ni, and said, "Little Nier, my name is Wan Xiaodie, and I am twelve years old this year. ”
Tong Wei smiled and compared the heights of Wan Xiaodie and Murong Ni, and then said, "Xiao Nier, Xiao Fluttershy is a lot taller than you!
Murong Ni's eyes were also confused and said: "I don't know why, it seems that since eight years ago, my height has grown very slowly, and I am really fifteen this year!"
Listening to Murong Ni's words, Tong Wei and Tong Yue laughed again, at this time, the woman who was drying the spirit grass was also busy with the work in her hands, wiped her hands and walked towards Murong Ni, and said with a smile on her face: "Little Nier, I am Xue Xin, sixteen this year, no matter if you are fifteen or eleven, you have to call me Sister Xue!"
"Sister Xue is good!" Murong Ni exclaimed sweetly, then raised her head to look at Xu Ting, who was pulling her at this time, and asked, "What about Sister Xu, how old is Sister Xu this year?"
"Sister Xu is eighteen this year!" Tong Wei said to Murong Ni with a smile: "I take care of the children in our yard on weekdays, I am not very old, and my skills are not small!"
Hearing this, Xu Ting smiled at Murong Ni, and then hurriedly said to the other four people: "Okay, okay, you guys hurry up and hurry up, don't miss your work!"
Driven by Xu Ting, these people went back to busy their own affairs, Xu Ting turned her head to look at Kong Xiaogu, who was still here, and said, "Sister Kong, go back too, I will take care of Xiao Nier." ”
"Okay, even if your courtyard is full, I'll go back. Kong Xiaogu smiled at Xu Ting.
After Kong Xiaogu also left, Xu Ting pulled Murong Ni to the courtyard, and said as she walked: "Xiao Nier, you see, there are a total of four rooms in our courtyard, the west one is the study, which has the practice books distributed by the door, and the study is to be silenced, the room on the left side of the north is where the two of us live, and the room on the right is where Fluttershy and Xue Xin live, and the pair of sisters Tong Wei and Tong Yue are making a fuss, and they have to be far away from the study, and they live in the easternmost side. ”
Leading Murong Ni into the room, Xu Ting took out a clean dark gray miscellaneous disciple uniform from the cabinet, put it on a simple bed, and beckoned to Murong Ni.
"Little Niel, come here. ”
Murong Ni trotted to the bed.
Xu Ting picked up the quilt on her bed, and then said: "The bed here is yours, and the other side is mine, it's late tonight, when the weather is better tomorrow, I will dry the quilt for you, and you will cover mine today." ”
As she spoke, Xu Ting hugged Murong Ni's quilt to her bed, and then gave her quilt to Murong Ni.
Then he patted the miscellaneous disciple uniform on the bed, and said: "Your clothes are too eye-catching, we all do some dirty work on weekdays, and it is easy to get dirty, so I will still wear this miscellaneous disciple uniform in the future, and there are two clothes in the cabinet next to your bed to change clothes." ”
Murong Ni nodded as she listened.
Seeing that she was well-behaved, Xu Ting gently rubbed her head, and then said, "If my sister is still here, she should be as tall as you." ”
Murong Ni blinked when she heard this.
Xu Ting quickly put away her emotions, then bent down and picked up the jade plate she tied around her waist, and said: " This is the identity jade card of our sect, there are two low-grade spirit stones in the identity jade card just issued, enough for our miscellaneous disciples to eat for six or seven days, but if you want to live, you have to work, Ming'er I will take you to our Luoyang Peak's Zongwu Hall to find some work to do, the spirit beads and spirit stones earned by working can be stored in the identity jade card, and you can also take it out and take it on your body, but it is generally safer to exist in the jade card, and the meals in the Lingyu Hall can be bought directly with the identity jade card, and the corresponding spirit stone will be deducted from the jade card, The other summits of the outer gate took turns to send some senior brothers and sisters to preach for a day, and on that day, all the miscellaneous disciples on the Falling Sun Peak had to attend the morning class. ”
