Chapter 18: Big Brother and Little Brother
The restaurant is not open tonight, and a table that can accommodate more than 20 people is placed on the second floor, and all kinds of restaurant signature dishes and delicacies are put on the table.
Unable to resist Xu Yu and the others, Ma sincerely sat in the main seat, taking a bite of hot food, the old man sighed in his heart, after so many years of sleeping in the open air, lonely and lonely, how long has it been since he sat down like this and had a good meal.
Next to Tang Shubao, Dong Nanyan, who was in coarse cloth clothes, was even more restrained, eating the rice in the bowl in small bites, and did not pick up vegetables, and the young man had not eaten a table of meals so happily for many years!
Cao Wan'er picked up a restaurant's signature dish and said with a smile: "It's delicious, Sister Xu, it seems that in the future, this restaurant can let you be the chef." ”
Xu Yu, who cooked by himself tonight, chuckled, "Don't praise me, eat more if it's delicious, if it's not enough, I'll do it again." ”
patted her stomach, and the girl smiled: "If you eat it, you can't eat it, and if you eat it again, you will get fat." ”
The young man next to him only cared about eating, and touched his leg under the table of Tang Shubag, "Why don't you eat vegetables, the dishes made by Aunt Xu are delicious, and ordinary people can't eat them." ”
Dong Nanyan was a little embarrassed, he didn't know how to answer, Grandpa Dong didn't teach him, and there was no book on it.
Xu Yu knew what happened to the young man, but he couldn't open his mouth, how could he say it? Now say that you're welcome, just eat, don't treat yourself as an outsider? Then why didn't the young man say this when he couldn't eat?
In fact, I don't blame Xu Yu, it's really Dong Unspeakable, the ominous is well-known in the town, in the corner of the restaurant, the teenager who secretly listens to the book can always pick up a few steamed buns, some are good and some are bad, and some people throw bad steamed buns, but how can anyone throw fragrant white steamed buns!
You don't have to think about it to know that the young man sitting at the dinner table at this moment must have mixed tastes in his heart, and the shopkeeper of the restaurant sighed secretly in his heart, how could he look such a sensible and polite child who had this life.
Glancing at the old man sitting on the main seat, Xu Yu thought to himself, I hope this old fairy can help this lonely child.
Since seeing Dong Nanyan, Senior Sister Qian's attention has been on the young man, the short-haired woman who takes the martial arts route, her body can clearly perceive that the young man opposite is frantically absorbing the aura of heaven and earth even in his spare time like eating and drinking, what a good talent this is!
Senior Sister Qian, who was curious about the origin, smiled at the young man who was immersed in eating and asked, "I don't know where this little friend teacher came from and where he practiced?"
Master, Cultivation, Dong Nanyan's head became even bigger, so he could only shake his head.
Ma Cheng, who had taken a sip of wine, watched this scene from the bottom of his heart, and did not speak, and after asking Xu Yu, the old man knew what happened to the young man.
Sure enough, all living beings in the world have their own sufferings, no wonder there is a saying that the same is the end of the world.
Fortunately, seeing the young man shaking his head, Senior Sister Qian didn't continue to ask.
————
The night was as cold as water, and after eating this embarrassing dinner, Dong Nanyan sat on the porch chair in the backyard, usually if he was still outside at this hour, he would definitely be cold. And now touching the warm little hand, Dong Nanyan said secretly, is this the benefit of cultivation?
The bag still hasn't been accepted, the young man's heart is simple, and what he owes to others has to be repaid. You Dong Nanyan only have ten years of cheap life, what can you do to repay the blacksmith uncle who helped you?
The young man once smiled heartily at the horse and said that his life depended on him, but it was just a young man's pretending to comfort himself, who didn't want to live a good life? besides, there were so many things that he needed to figure out.
"Hey, what are you thinking about here?"
Under the moonlight, the girl in the blue dress stood up.
The girl looked down at the porch chair, and the boy realized that he hurriedly made room and sat down at the other end of the porch chair.
"Hey, why are you so far away from me!", Cao Wan'er was angry and funny, just to give her a place to sit down, why did she sit so far away all of a sudden, she was not a man-eating beast!
"Ahh
Dong Nanyan, who is not good at interpersonal communication, didn't know how to answer, looking at the girl in a long skirt at this time, the young man's brain was hot.
"Isn't it cold to wear only these?"
Sitting next to the young man, under the moonlight, Dong Nanyan could even smell the fragrance from the girl's body, Cao Wan'er smiled: "You say this, this long skirt is woven by our Linjiang Palace in the nearby cold pool, with the captured cold water silkworms, and the cold water silk taken out, so the water is not wet, the fire is not bad, it is warm in winter and cool in summer, and it may not be able to be bought for a thousand taels of silver if it is placed on the market." ”
The young man next to him was only wearing coarse cloth clothes, Cao Wan'er was a little apologetic in her heart, she said this, he wouldn't feel that she was showing off to him, right?
was not hurt by the girl's words at all, Dong Nanyan's eyes lit up and asked, "It's so valuable, is that cold water silk easy to get?"
Glancing at the young man who was like a fan of wealth, Cao Wan'er said: "How can it be so easy, just Hantan, the body bones are poor, if you go down, you will lose half your life, only a cultivator like you and me can barely go down for a while, but with your current realm, you have to peel off a layer of skin if you go down." ”
"We cultivators?"
Cao Wan'er turned her head and said, "Yes, aren't you also a cultivator?" But it's hidden deep enough, I didn't find out some time ago, where are you practicing?"
Dong Nanyan didn't know how to answer.
Cao Wan'er saw that the young man didn't speak, and she didn't ask questions, all living beings have their own opportunities, which is wonderful.
The young man, who had been silent, suddenly asked, "You say, if you knew you had a few years to live, what would you do?"
"Huh?"
Cao Wan'er held her head, "Let me think about it." ”
In the past, no one asked a girl such a non-nutritious question.
After thinking for a moment, Cao Wan'er smiled, "I want to be a woman who eliminates violence and peace, walks the rivers and lakes, sees unevenness on the road, and roars! Kill the worst evildoers, save those poor people, and let the rivers and lakes keep my name, and then, play in the mountains and rivers, eat and drink." ”
Hehe smiled, and the girl said happily: "Maybe you can eat some kind of elixir of immortality and longevity, and then you don't have to die, you can continue to live." ”
The girl's words were full of energy, and the young man was dumbfounded.
"What if you don't eat the elixir?"
Tilting her head, Cao Wan'er frowned, "Then what to do, act chivalrous, eat and drink, and after touring the mountains and rivers, say goodbye to your relatives, find a place, and wait for death." ”
Then the girl stuck out her tongue, "Bah, what are you dying, my sixteen-year-old Condensing Realm woman, it's no problem to live to be a hundred years old, what can't die, bah, bah!"
Dong Nanyan also scratched his head and smiled, it's good that the girl in front of him can do so many things, but what about him?
"What are you smiling at?, what would you do?", Cao Wan'er asked rhetorically.
Dong Yanyan smiled bitterly: "I don't know what I should do, or what I can do?"
"You are so stupid!", Cao Wan'er taught: "I tell you, you can eat delicious food, have fun, ride a white horse, carry a long sword, carry a pot of wine, master the world, under the reed flower quilt, sleep in the snow and lie in the clouds, in case of injustice, in case of injustice, in case of suffering, save suffering." I don't leave my name, but there is my name on the rivers and lakes, such as what Linjiang Fairy, Hibiscus Woman, unfathomable, traveling through mountains and rivers, so that I am worthy of a trip to this world. ”
Substituted for herself, said the excitement, the girl stood up, her eyes sparkling with stars, just like the young man with bright eyes who was fascinated by wealth.
Dong Nanyan listened attentively.
"And you can't do nothing, you have to say goodbye to your loved ones. The girl taught again: "Walking the rivers and lakes, talking about kindness, and the grace of dripping water, should be reciprocated by springs, and the grace of birth and nurturing cannot be forgotten." ”
Under the moonlight, the young man drooped his head and whispered, "But I don't have any relatives anymore." ”
As if she had stabbed a hornet's nest, Cao Wan'er, who exposed other people's scars, said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." ”
The boy smiled and waved his hand, "It's okay." ”
Gently patting the young man on the shoulder, Cao Wan'er comforted: "Don't think too much, you have no relatives, you still have friends." ”
"I don't have any friends either...", Dong said bitterly.
Except for Grandpa Dong, it is difficult for the teenager to even say a word to others, how can he have friends.
The girl can't wait to give herself a slap, why can't she speak like this!
Maybe it's a long time, so many people have a lively meal today, and it is inevitable that the young man who will be touched in his heart will be touched by the scene, and his emotions will be overflowing, and he will say in a low voice: "I have been here since I was a child, and I am considered a disaster by the people in the town, which has a bad impact on the people around me,"
Looking at the girl sitting beside him, the young man laughed at himself, "In the past, no one would be so close to me, and no one would want to say a word to me, so sometimes I think about it, since no one speaks, it is better to keep my mouth shut, as for my relatives, I also want to know where my parents are, but think about it, will it be embarrassing to see them?
The young man's eyes seemed to be rippling, moist and moving, "Thank you for saying so much to me today,"
There was silence, Cao Wan'er looked at the depressed young man and didn't speak for a while, but soon the girl pulled the young man towards her and looked at each other.
Dong Nanyan will never forget the old-fashioned words of the girl in front of him.
It was warm, warmer than the quilt in the cold autumn in the morning.
"Who said you don't have friends, from now on, I'm your friend!"
"Don't think too negatively about everything, maybe your relatives have unavoidable hardships and reasons?"
"I'm older than you, you can call me a big brother! In the future, you will be counted as one of the heroes and righteousness, and you will be given a horse to ride when you go south and north. ”
"In the future, when you walk the rivers and lakes and encounter difficulties, you will report the name of the eldest brother!"
Under the bright moonlight, the heroine beside the young man was heroic.
And in the eyes of the young man, the water was rippling.
In the early morning of the erection day, Ma Cheng was a little surprised, thinking that he would have to persuade Dong Nanyan again so that the young man could go to Qingyao County with him, but he never thought that it would be so smooth. It seems that the boy who died in the trees gradually began to rejuvenate, and it is unknown whether it will return to the light or be renewed.
The group left the town, pulled mountains and waded through rivers, and traveled until noon, stopping in the mountains to rest.
Senior Sister Qian looked at Dong Nanyan, who was leaning against the tree and drinking water, and nodded secretly, she was younger than Senior Sister Wan'er, and she didn't complain about being tired along the way.
Senior Sister Qian, who has only been in contact for one day, doesn't know the experience of the teenager over the years, in fact, she is tired, the teenager can bear it, the heart is tired, the teenager has endured it for so many years.
On the way, Cao Wan'er, who was riding a horse alone, and Dong Nanyan, who was on the horse, chattered about her trip down the mountain.
Ma Cong, who was sitting in front of the young man, looked at Cao Wan'er, who was talking, and Dong Nanyan, who was listening carefully, squinted and quipped: "Little fairy, do you want to turn Dong Nanyan back to Linjiang Palace?"
The girl's face flushed, and she stopped abruptly.
Unexpectedly, Senior Sister Qian, who had been following the girl unhurriedly, said seriously: "With such talent, if you can join my Linjiang Palace, of course I Linjiang Palace will be extremely happy." ”
The old man shook his head and said nothing.
On horseback, the story of the girl's chivalrous righteousness, the young man listened to it with fascination, as if he had penetrated the remnant ghost with a sword, and cut off the beast with a sword.
It was dark, and everyone could vaguely see the outline of the county town.
In the sky above Qingyao County, black clouds overwhelmed the city.
Ma smacked his lips heartily and said, "It's kind of interesting." ”
Senior Sister Qian's face was solemn, and the city under the black clouds was depressing just by looking at it from a distance.
Cao Wan'er put her palm on the thin sword at her waist, good man, it's time for you to slay demons and eliminate demons.
Dong Nanyan looked at the black cloud in a daze, what would he do for a while?
