I. Chapter 38—Comfort
In the bright and clean cabin, dappled light and shadow are projected from the windows, reflecting a little dust in the air, slowly wandering.
Jiang Ming sighed, slowly walked out of bed, suddenly felt dizzy, hurriedly reached out to hold the table, only to see a dark and heavy sword on it, silent.
He took a deep look, then turned to leave, and when he was about to walk out of the door, he suddenly stopped again, and was stunned for a long time, and finally picked up this strange sword, and there was a faint feeling of warmth in his hand, wandering in the meridians of his body, there was an indescribable sense of ease.
When Jiang Ming walked to the hall of the Heart Cultivation Palace, he saw three figures gathered around the table, Jiang Ming took a deep breath and shouted softly, "Master." ”
When Li Changfeng saw him, he looked slightly surprised, and then said lightly: "Sit down and eat." ”
Jiang Ming slowly sat on the side of the table, looked over, and saw that the owner of the village, Wang Qingshan, was also there, and on the other side was the quiet Yu Xinshuang, and there was no ...... Someone else.
Jiang Ming looked at the table full of food, but he couldn't raise his appetite at all, and after a while, he couldn't help but ask, "Master, where has my sister gone?"
"Your sister has gone to take care of your sister, you can eat first, and then you will talk after eating. ”
Although Li Changfeng looked expressionless, he could clearly feel that his eyes were much brighter, and his voice was full of softness......
At this time, Wang Qingshan, who was on the side, glanced at Jiang Ming intentionally or unintentionally, hesitated for a long time, and finally asked quietly: "Elder Li, how did this sword of your disciple feel a little weird when you competed?"
Jiang Ming didn't know why, and his heart suddenly became nervous.
Li Changfeng smiled indifferently and said: "That Qianchen sword does have a trace of anger, but the owner of the village can rest assured, Ming'er is kind-hearted, and over time, it will naturally be able to resolve the anger." ”
Wang Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief and said in a sullen voice: "Hey, I see, I was a little strange when I watched Master Jiang's nephew compete, I thought he was crazy, but it scared me." ”
Yu Xinshuang looked at Wang Qingshan with a funny look, and a smile appeared on her cold face.
I saw Wang Qingshan look at Jiang Ming carefully again, and said with a smile: "This little guy looks smart, since he won this competition, the future is naturally limitless, when he arrives in Wutong City, he must practice the Dao Law well, and he can't lose the face of our villa!"
No one noticed that Jiang Ming suddenly clenched his hands and stared straight at the table.
When Li Changfeng heard such a compliment, his face was tense all the time, but he couldn't hold back anymore, he laughed proudly, and said, "It's all ......"
Before he finished speaking, he heard Jiang Ming shout softly:
"Master!"
Li Changfeng still had a smile on his face, turned his head to look at him, and said, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Ming let go of the hand he had been clenching, took a deep breath, raised his head, and said, "I don't want to go." ”
"What?"
Li Changfeng even suspected that he had heard it wrong, and the smile on his face stiffened slightly.
Jiang Ming looked at those deep eyes and said slowly, "I'm sorry, Master, the disciple is reluctant to go to Wutong City. ”
Li Changfeng's face suddenly became cloudy, and after a while, he shouted angrily: "What do you mean by this, are you playing tricks on me!"
"Disciple doesn't dare!"
Jiang Ming's body moved, and he immediately knelt down, his face buried deep on the ground.
Wang Qingshan was stunned when he saw this scene, and he hesitated for a long time before he said to Li Changfeng: "Elder Li, don't be angry, how can this kid ...... Alas!" turned to look like he hated iron.
Li Changfeng snorted coldly, stood up suddenly, and said sharply: "You bastard, why are you so ignorant, do you still have me as a master in your eyes!"
Yu Xinshuang also frowned slightly, glanced at Jiang Ming, who was kneeling on the ground motionless, and said, "Elder Li, don't be angry yet, is there something wrong with Senior Brother Jiang?"
"What can he do!"
As soon as Li Changfeng finished speaking, he suddenly seemed to remember something, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and sat back on the chair with hatred, looking at Jiang Ming, who was kneeling on the ground without saying a word.
After being silent for a long time, Li Changfeng suddenly got up and said, "You come with me." ”
Jiang Ming hesitated for a moment, then followed him into a small cubicle next to him.
In the narrow room, Li Changfeng sat casually on a straw mat, his face very gloomy.
Jiang Ming lowered his head, his heart was in turmoil.
I don't know how long it took before Li Changfeng's faint voice came: "You can also sit down." ”
This time, Jiang Ming became even more nervous, his head seemed to be lowered a little more, and he said timidly: "The disciple doesn't dare." ”
Li Changfeng's face had just improved, he frowned again, and said angrily: "What, do you want me to invite you to sit down!"
This angry shout frightened Jiang Ming's body, he raised his head, and saw the master's serious face, but there was no trace of banter, so he took a deep breath and sat opposite him.
Li Changfeng looked at him and said, "You have been under my door for more than two years, right?"
Jiang Ming said in a low voice: "Yes." ”
Li Changfeng said lightly: "Originally, I didn't plan to accept apprentices, but seeing that Ru'er liked it, I accepted you." To be honest, we're all very happy that you've come this far. ”
Jiang Ming's heart suddenly rose with joy, but he was quickly suppressed by another complicated emotion.
Li Changfeng continued: "But what are you going to do today, is it me and your sister who are not good to you?"
Jiang Ming was anxious and said, "Master and my wife are as kind to me as a mountain, like a family member. ”
Li Changfeng stared at him, his eyes seemed to see through his heart, and asked, "Then how does your senior sister treat you?"
Jiang Ming was slightly stunned and said, "It's also excellent." ”
Li Changfeng was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "You don't want to go, but you don't want to leave your senior sister?"
Suddenly, Jiang Ming's heart was full of panic and uneasiness, he lowered his head again, and was silent, but he kept chanting in his heart: What the master doesn't know, what the master doesn't know!
"Do you like Ru'er?"
This sentence seemed to drain all Jiang Ming's strength in an instant, and that feeling of self-esteem pierced deep into his heart from head to toe.
Li Changfeng suddenly said: "You are of the same age and accompany each other day and night, and it is not a strange thing to have a good impression of each other. ”
Jiang Ming stared at the ground tightly, but the words in his ears still made him blush and hot.
After a while, Li Changfeng stretched out his hand, patted Jiang Ming's shoulder gently, and said, "It's just that you are still young now, and you are easy to get angry." With such a great opportunity to go to Wutong City, how could he give it up because of a little personal affection. When he said this, he paused again and said, "Besides, it's not that you won't come back." ”
"But I ......"
Li Changfeng waved his hand, signaling Jiang Ming not to speak, and then looked at him deeply, and said slowly: "Ru'er has a temperament and loves to get into trouble, if she doesn't have a little Taoism, how can you protect her in the future?"
"Think about it again. ”
After speaking, Li Changfeng let out a sigh and got up to leave.
After a while, Jiang Ming slowly raised his head, and there was no longer Li Changfeng's figure in the room, only the residual palm temperature on his shoulder, as if his heart was burning.
I don't know how long it took, but when Jiang Ming walked out of the cubicle, the hall was already empty, leaving only the food on the table that hadn't moved much, it seemed that because of such a fuss, they were not in the mood to eat.
Jiang Ming didn't feel good in his heart for a while, bit his lip lightly, and walked out of the main hall, the familiar bluestone path, and the complicated heart.
The breeze blew occasionally, and the wind chimes under the eaves made a crisp sound. The door was hidden, and through the crack in the door, there was a slight noise.
He stood for a long time, but his heart couldn't calm down for a long time, he only felt his heart beating hard, he slowly stretched out his hand and put it on the door.
At that moment, the wooden door was so heavy, he gritted his teeth, and pushed the door open.
He let out a soft breath, and the sunlight streamed in his figure and fell on a graceful woman sitting on the edge of the bed.
Perhaps the sound of the door opening alarmed her, Chen Zhiyi hesitated, slowly turned his head, and said softly: "Ming'er, you are here." ”
Jiang Ming slowly walked towards the house, walking step by step, but his heart also fell little by little, opened his mouth, and said astringently: "Senior sister, senior sister, she ...... Haven't you woken up yet?"
Chen Zhiyi shook his head and said softly, "Not yet." ”
She paused for a moment, and then said, "Don't worry, your senior sister is just overworked, and after resting for a while, she will wake up." ”
Jiang Ming hummed lightly, walked to the side of the bed, raised his eyes, but it deeply pierced his heart, this bright and beautiful woman, now there is only a trace of blood on her little face, and her smart eyes are so quiet, tightly closed.
Both looked at the quiet woman, silent.
After a while, Chen Zhiyi turned his head to look at Jiang Ming and said, "What about your master?"
Jiang Ming said in a low voice: "After eating, I don't know where to go." ”
Chen Zhiyi slowly stood up, stretched out, and said, "Then I'll go and tidy up the dishes and chopsticks." Speaking of this, a smile appeared on her slightly haggard face, and said, "You first help the master take care of Ru'er here." ”
Jiang Ming nodded slowly: "Yes, Master." ”
Chen Zhiyi smiled softly and walked towards the door, and when she reached the door, there was a faint sigh.
Then, with a "chirp", the whole room also darkened a little.
The door is closed.
In this silence, Jiang Ming slowly took two steps forward, looking at the beautiful woman lying on the bed, he had a lot to say in his heart, but when the words came to his mouth, they turned silent.
He suddenly wanted to shout out the vow under the moon again, but his heart was depressed.
Two lines of tears, just like that, silently, slipped down.
In the distance, there are unknown places, quiet birdsong, and a few white clouds.
