Li Moru thought about it carefully and said, "Yes, then I'll tell you!"

"I made a bet with Zhang Fugui and them before, as long as I can steal your sword and show it to them, they will recognize me as the boss. ”

Long Chen was puzzled: "Then why did you bet with them?"

"Because I told them that I wanted to be a sword fairy, they laughed at me for not touching a sword, and then talked about how you carry a sword every day, so I thought I would steal it out and take a look. ”

Long Chen took a few steps back and motioned for Li Moru to stop standing by the wall.

Li Moru only took a few steps forward, and kept pulling his collar as he walked, just after being so by Long Chen, he was covered in sweat when he climbed over the wall before, so he went for a ride and let the wind go in to blow sweat.

The private school was at the foot of the mountain, the moon and a few fragments of starlight were reflected in the surrounding fields, and Long Chen stepped on the tender grass that had just grown for a long time, looking at Li Moru in front of him as if he was thinking about something.

Long Chen lightly bumped Li Moru, who was shaking off his clothes, and said, "Li Moru, where did you discuss meeting before?"

Li Moru said casually: "The temple in the north of the city is broken." ”

Long Chen thought for a moment, "Fortunately, it's not too far, let's go and find them!"

Li Moru hurriedly shook his hand to refuse, and hurriedly said: "No, no, no, I won't go, I don't want them to see me ugly." ”

Long Chen thought for a moment and said, "If you don't take me there, I'll tell my husband to go, or go to your house to complain to your mother, saying that you didn't sleep in the middle of the night and came to my room to steal the sword." ”

Li Moru took a few steps back, retreated back to the base of the wall, and said, "Brother Long, I beg you, you can let me go, okay, if I go with you now, I won't be laughed to death by them." ”

"The problem is that if you don't go now, you will be laughed at by them when you go to the academy tomorrow, what's the difference? And if you don't go now, where will they wait for you for the night, and when you go to the academy tomorrow, won't you be angry with you? Maybe I won't play with you anymore, I'll see what you will do then." ”

Li Moru lowered his head, a little hesitant in his heart, go for fear that they will laugh at him, don't go, let them wait for a night and feel uneasy.

"Okay, I'll take you with me, and then you'll have to prove to them that I stole your sword, but you caught it. ”

Long Chen nodded and said, "Okay!"

Li Moru walked over from the root of the wall, and originally wanted to put his hand on Long Chen's shoulder, but found that Long Chen was taller than himself, and his hand was uncomfortable hanging on his shoulder.

The two walked north along the road where Li Moru came to the school.

This place is very secluded at night, walking on the path, the sound of insects and the sound of running water complement each other, the moonlight lies quietly in the paddy fields, the rice planted by farmers in the spring is only ankle high, and the breeze blows slightly slanted.

Stepping on the stone road, Li Moru's footsteps rattled, and Long Chen put his hand on his shoulder and walked with him from the path to the alley.

Soon the two of them walked to the gate of the ruined temple, the courtyard was a deserted big tripod and a few trees whose names could not be handed over, and the walls were mounds of dirt, which had not been repaired and were now in tatters.

The outside of the Dading is full of dust, there are cobwebs underneath, the inside is full of dead branches and fallen leaves, and there is some dust that has slid down from the tiles, and the people here have lost count of how many years no one has come here to burn incense, and after the old host left, the rest of the monks are nowhere to be found.

The dilapidated gate, and the crunching sound could be heard as soon as the wind passed, which frightened Li Moru to cling to Long Chen.

After the two walked into the ruined temple, they saw two children sitting in the ruined temple, and they should have found a bunch of branches from the courtyard and made a small fire, which made their faces flush.

Zhang Fugui held a branch in his hand and pulled the fire, and said: "Do you think Li Moru will lie to us, he can't steal Longchen's sword, I'm afraid that we won't come if we laugh at him, let us wait for him here for half a day in vain?"

Zhang Qingshan said: "Probably not! No matter, let's wait another hour, if he doesn't come, let's leave, and go to him tomorrow to settle accounts." ”

"Yes!"

Just as the two were discussing, Li Moru suddenly broke in, jumped to the side of the two, put his hands on their shoulders and said, "What are you two stinky boys talking about me?"

The two almost fell into a green onion, Zhang Fugui and Zhang Qingshan turned around and scuffled with Li Moru, and the two hurriedly asked, "How is it, you stole the sword?"

Li Moru crossed his hands on his hips, tilted his head and said confidently: "Of course, who am I, I am your boss." ”

The two hurriedly flipped Li Moru over and asked, "What about the sword?"

Li Moru had a look of embarrassment on his face, and said, "Later, I was snatched back by Long Chen." ”

Zhang Qingshan glanced at him, and said angrily: "I said Li Moru, you didn't steal Long Chen's sword, and you came here to deceive the two of us when you went out for a casual stroll, right?"

Li Moru hurriedly explained: "No, I swear, I really stole it, if I tell half a lie, I won't be able to die with five thunderbolts." ”

Zhang Fugui asked: "You have no evidence, how can you prove that you stole the sword, unless you go again, this time the two of us will go with you, by the way, help you let go, keep you fine, even if Long Chen sees it again, although he is higher than us, but he really dares to fight with us." ”

Just when Zhang Fugui's mouth was like a river, Long Chen also jumped in front of the three of them, so frightened that Zhang Fugui, who had just said Long Chen, fell backwards and fell.

He got up and patted the dust on his body, then pointed at Long Chen and asked, "Long Chen, why are you here?"

Suddenly, Zhang Fugui turned around and looked at Li Moru, Li Moru was a little weak by Zhang Fugui's look, "Li Moru, you traitor, you betrayed us." ”

"No, no, no, listen to me!"

Zhang Qingshan also quickly stood up and echoed: "What else do you have to say, you brought Longchen here." ”

Li Moru hurriedly said: "You guys should listen to me and scold me again!"

Zhang Fugui said that I didn't listen to it and was about to hit Li Moru, Li Moru got up and took a step back, Zhang Fugui was a little fatter and couldn't keep up with his speed, so he smashed his fist and didn't fight.

Seeing Li Moru dodge, Zhang Fugui clenched his fists and chased Li Moru again, if Li Moru and Zhang Fugui were put on a regular basis, he often helped the family with farm work, and his strength was much stronger than Zhang Fugui, but today he knew that he was not reasonable, so he just blindly dodged.

Li Moru jumped behind Long Chen and used Long Chen to block Zhang Fugui's attack.

Zhang Fugui saw that Long Chen was standing in front of Li Moru and did not stop his hand, but instead clenched his fists tightly and smashed towards Long Chen.

said that it was too late, and when Zhang Fugui's fist was about to hit Long Chen, Long Chen turned sideways, pinched Zhang Fugui's fist with his right hand, and pushed Zhang Fugui to the ground with a gentle push.

Seeing that Zhang Fugui was pushed down, Li Moru hurriedly jumped out from behind Long Chen, bent down to help Zhang Fugui, Zhang Fugui was helped up by Li Moru, and after Zhang Fugui was helped up, he shook Li Moru's hand away with his right hand, and said to Li Moru: "Don't worry about it." ”

Then he clenched his fist and wanted to smash it at Long Chen, Long Chen didn't plan to stop, he also clenched his fist and planned to fight Zhang Fugui, at this time, Li Moru hurriedly blocked between the two.

In this way, Li Moru received a punch in front of and behind him, because both of them did not regain their strength, and Li Moru was knocked to the ground by the strength of the two punches.

After seeing Li Moru fall to the ground, Zhang Qingshan also hurried to help him, and scolded Zhang Fugui: "Fugui, that's enough! ”

After hearing Zhang Qingshan's scolding, Zhang Fugui withdrew his hand, and hurriedly ran over to help Li Moru up with Zhang Qingshan.

Li Moru stood up with the support of the two, put his right hand on Zhang Fugui's shoulder, glanced at Zhang Fugui, and said, "Now you can listen to my explanation!"

Zhang Fugui saw that Li Moru had just been punched for himself, and most of his anger had disappeared, so he turned his head and said uncertainly: "Okay, for the sake of the punch you just gave me, you can explain." ”

Li Moru told the two of them how he sneaked out of the house, how he climbed over the wall to get to Longchen's room, and how he was caught by Longchen and brought Longchen here, and with Longchen as a witness, the two were not being held responsible.

After Zhang Fugui listened to what Li Moru and Long Chen said, he asked Long Chen: "I said Long Chen, why do you suddenly want to come here with Li Moru to find us?"

Long Chen sat around the fire with them, and replied: "You also know that I have only been in the ancient town for more than a month, and I rarely go out and naturally have no friends, the reason why I asked Li Moru to bring me over is to be friends with you." ”

After listening to Longchen, Li Moru asked Zhang Qingshan and asked Zhang Qingshan what he thought, Zhang Qingshan said that he had no opinion to listen to them, Li Moru agreed very much with Longchen to join them, and Zhang Fugui also had a good impression of Longchen because he didn't know each other, so the three of them accepted this stranger in this way.

After confirming the addition of Long Chen, Zhang Fugui became as big as before, and when several people gathered around the fire to keep warm, Zhang Fugui asked: "Then how can this matter be counted today, although Li Moru stole the sword, but we didn't see it, do we recognize the eldest brother?"

Li Moru said: "If you don't recognize it, don't recognize it, anyway, I'm two months older than you, whether you recognize me or not, I'm your eldest brother." As he spoke, he reached out to grab Zhang Fugui's neck and laughed.

Zhang Qingshan is more than a month younger than Zhang Fugui, so they are really Li Moru is older, but Zhang Fugui has always been unwilling to let Li Moru be the eldest brother, and the bets between the two are also won and lost, so often you call me eldest brother for two days and I call you eldest brother for two days.

Zhang Fugui suddenly approached Longchen's side and asked, "Eh, Longchen, how old are you?"

Long Chen replied, "Eight and a half years old." ”

Zhang Fugui suddenly laughed, made a grimace at Li Moru, and said with a smile: "Li Moru, you can't say that you are the oldest now, Long Chen is one year older than you, if you give me the age of the wheel again, you have to call Long Chen the eldest brother." ”

Li Moru also leaned over to Longchen, and said to Zhang Fugui: "What's the matter, even if Longchen is the eldest brother, I am also your second brother, no matter what, I am your brother, come to the younger brother, call the elder brother to listen." ”

At this time, Zhang Qingshan looked at the broken Buddha statue in the temple, and said: "That's it, let's bow a few times, in the future, Longchen will be the eldest brother, Li Moru will be the second brother, and you will be the third and I will be the fourth." ”

Li Moru agreed with Zhang Qingshan's proposal, as long as he was Zhang Fugui's brother, he was the second in line, he also felt very happy, Long Chen also nodded and said yes, Zhang Fugui saw that the three of them said this, and he was not easy to refute, so he said casually: "Okay! But Li Moru, let me tell you, if you are not as good as me in the future, you will call me second brother, and I will take care of you." ”

The four of them looked at each other, got up together, and bowed down in front of the Buddha statue with a rag on half of his body.

But except for Li Moru, several other people have only heard of the word bowing and don't know what to do.

Li Moru asked them to kneel down in front of the Buddha with him, and then follow his example. "The Buddha is above, I, Li Moru, today and Longchen, Zhang Fugui, and Zhang Qingshan worship as brothers of the opposite sex, blessed and enjoy hardships together, do not seek to be born on the same day and month in the same year, but to die on the same day and month in the same year. ”

"I Longchen today and Li Moru, Zhang Fugui, Zhang Qingshan became brothers of the opposite sex, since then I have been blessed and enjoyed the same hardships, and I will never do anything contrary to brotherhood in this life. ”

"I, Zhang Fugui, today and Long Chen, Li Moru, and Zhang Qingshan are brothers of the opposite sex, and from now on I have money to spend together, and I have food to eat, and I will never let them go hungry if I have food, if I violate this oath, um...... I've been poor all my life. ”

"I, Zhang Qingshan, today and Long Chen, Li Moru, and Zhang Fugui are brothers of the opposite sex, and from then on I will be blessed and enjoy the same hardships. ”

After the three kowtows, the three of them stood up, and the three of them felt very natural when they called the eldest brother, firstly, Longchen was much older than them, and secondly, the temperament on Longchen's body made the three of them feel impressed.

Although Zhang Fugui still insisted: "Moru, if you call me second brother, when I become the richest person in the world, I will take you to see all the beautiful scenery in the world and taste all the delicacies in the world." How about it, do you want to think about it?"

Li Moru looked disdainful, "Get out, hurry up, I'm not rare in beautiful scenery and food, I just want to hear you call me second brother, hurry up." ”

Zhang Fugui glanced at him and said, "You don't know the hearts of good people, don't regret it when I become the richest man in the world in the future." ”

"Hurry up, why are you so ink, hurry up and call the second brother. ”

"Okay, really, second brother, my good second brother, how about you are happy now!"

Li Moru nodded, with a very satisfied expression.

Zhang Qingshan also shouted: "Big brother, second brother, third brother." ”

Zhang Fugui stretched out his hand and straddled Zhang Qingshan's shoulder, and whispered: "Fourth brother, let me tell you, when will I make a bet with Li Moru again, and when I win, I will no longer bet with him, and then you remember to change your name to second brother!"
