Volume 2 The Reader VII He was just a boy

Entering the door, there was no one in the empty room, and for some reason, Zhuang You breathed a sigh of relief.

Taking out the ebony stick from the door charm, Zhuang You began to practice the two actions of splitting and stabbing.

Repeating an action is very monotonous, the muscles begin to ache, the mind begins to swell, until the end, and the body sweats prospers.

And when Zhuang You finished practicing and was about to fetch water, he saw Tuoba Hao in the shadows.

I don't know how long he's been here, his green eyes looming in the darkness, and there is no sound.

"You're pushing in the wrong way. The voice was cold, but it was rare concern.

Zhuang You didn't expect Tuoba Hao to speak first, and then asked with a smile: "Yes, then can you teach me?"

After a moment of silence, Tuoba Hao stepped out of the shadows, his stature was tall, but always a little bowed, like a bow ready to be tightened.

Tuoba Hao walked in front of Zhuang You, looked at the ebony stick in his hand, and reached out directly to take it, Zhuang You gave it to him, Tuoba Hao grabbed the wooden stick and stretched it out in front of Zhuang You,

"That's how it should be caught. ”

Zhuang You looked at the stick in front of him, and the hand he was holding, what kind of hand was this, rough as bark, his nails were bent like hooks, yellow, and his hands were densely covered with fine scars, This is his fingerprint.

"That's how it should be split. ”

"You should stand like this. ”

......

Tuoba Hao showed Zhuang You a different way, Zhuang You studied seriously, although he was very tired, he still persevered.

After a long time, Tuoba Hao gave him the stick, walked into the house, leaned against the corner, and the whole person hid in the shadows, no longer saying a word.

"Thank you", Zhuang You sincerely thanked the corner.

When Zhuang You got into bed, he casually looked at the corner of the wall, and he couldn't see anything clearly in the dark, only a curled up.

I don't know why he sleeps in the corner, I don't know why he is so withdrawn, I don't know why he is pointing at himself.

But Zhuang You knows one thing, he is not the so-called wolf cub in people's mouths.

Zhuang You got up earlier than before, and there was no figure of Tuoba Hao in the house, he ran outside the house and saw Tuoba Hao's back,

"Tuoba, let's come to the cafeteria to eat later. ”

Tuoba Hao didn't answer, he had only been to the cafeteria once, and the only time he tore off a person's hand.

Zhuang You made breakfast, his eyes searched in the cafeteria, and he didn't see the people he wanted to see, until the end, everyone was gone, and the bowl of porridge and buns he was putting was cold.

Zhuang You didn't want to waste food, so he silently ate the cold food, which was a bit supportive.

The Taoist class is still Mr. Qi's weak talk about empty truths and laws, as well as all kinds of unheard of Taoist doctrines, even Zhuang You, who has been listening carefully, is getting more and more sleepy.

Fortunately, Mr. Qi rested after talking for half a day every time, and it didn't matter what the rest of the people did as long as they didn't make him sleep.

At noon, Zhuang You did not wait for Tuoba Hao, and ate two meals again.

In the afternoon, Senior Brother Tang Jing's class talked about the distribution of the twelve meridians in the human body, Zhuang You listened carefully, and took a pen to draw the meridian diagram drawn by Senior Brother Tang himself, looked at the graffiti on the paper that he couldn't bear to look at, and then looked at Senior Brother Tang's works, Zhuang You silently crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it into a small corner.

For dinner, Zhuang You simply waited for Tuoba Hao on an empty stomach, but as a result, he silently ate the meal hot.

When he came back from the study, Zhuang You didn't see Tuoba Hao, he didn't care, he took out the stick, recalled the posture and force of Tuoba in his mind, and did it over and over again.

Strange to say, after using the way of Tuobajiao, Zhuang You obviously felt that the true qi was running much smoother, although he was tired, but he was hearty and happy.

In the past few days, Zhuang You has figured out the time when Tuoba Hao came back, and after practicing the stick, he saw his figure in the house, still in the shadow of the corner.

He didn't ask Tuoba Hao why he didn't come to the cafeteria to eat, just came to say hello and went to bed to rest.

"Tuoba, what you taught me is very useful, thank you. ”

There was no answer, but Zhuang You continued:

"I heard that you have always hunted by yourself, you can come to the canteen, I can cook okay. ”

There was no sound, as if he was asleep, but Zhuang You knew he heard it.

In the next few days, Tuoba Hao did not come to the cafeteria, and Zhuang You no longer stayed to eat, he kept asking his classmates about Tuoba Hao's news, but everyone either didn't understand or said, "That wolf cub, it's very dangerous, you'd better stay away from him." ”

However, Zhuang You still learned that Tuoba Hao had been in the academy for two years, and he rarely appeared in the academy except for classes, and he was the only student in Ding Zike who could do tasks.

This is a person who is so withdrawn that no one pays attention to him, and when it comes to him, he will always say "wolf cub"

Even Qi Donglai, who brought him in, didn't care about him.

In this way, Zhuang You takes classes every day, and Mr. has already told most of the history of the Great Zhou, and he has mastered the actions of splitting, stabbing, teasing, and hanging in swordsmanship, and he is about to learn the real swordsmanship, and he has a hunch that he is about to break the mirror.

Senior Brother Tang's cultivation class also made him understand more and more about cultivation, and he had memorized a lot of herbs in Senior Sister's herbal medicine class, learned to make some medicines, and of course, he also made some medicinal meals to provide in the canteen, and the response was very good.

Winter has arrived, the mountains are covered in snow, the boy is still single, and he has been away from the town for two years.

Not everyone is not afraid of the cold, everyone has added clothes, and at the same time, they don't want to get up anymore, and more and more people miss classes in early reading, so the college has grabbed a group of students.

In the steaming mist, Zhuang You put the steamed drawer of steamed buns on the table and opened it, fragrant.

"Zhuang You, the buns are good today, and there is beef filling. ”

"This little wonton is also very fresh. ”

Everyone was eating and drinking, Zhuang You was also holding a bowl of soy milk and drinking warmly, and the heat was rising everywhere in the house, echoing with the cold wind outside.

The heavy curtain at the door was pushed open, and the raging cold wind took the opportunity to get in, causing the people sitting at the door to complain for a while, but when they saw the people coming in, they closed their mouths, and then opened their mouths wide again.

It's Tuoba Hao.

"Why is he here?"

"Who is he, how come I have never seen him?"

"I remember, he seems to be Tuoba Hao!"

"That wolf cub?!"

......

There was a lot of discussion for a while, and there were whispers everywhere, Tuoba Hao was still dressed in single clothes, but unlike Zhuang You's neat and clean, the clothes on his body were very shabby.

"Tuoba, you're here. ”

Zhuang You immediately walked over, pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly took Tuoba Hao to the place where he was cooking.

"Whatever you want to eat, take it yourself. ”

Tuoba hesitated, but still didn't stretch out his hand, and Zhuang You saw that his hand behind him was full of dirt.

He took a clean and steaming wet towel from the kitchen and wiped Tuoba Hao's hands, then took a plate and took a bunch of things, found a seat and sat down with Tuoba Hao.

Tuoba Hao looked at Zhuang You's eager eyes, picked up a bun, took a bite, the fragrant oil flowed down the corners of his mouth, Tuoba Hao's eyes lit up, swallowed it in two bites, and picked up another bun.

Zhuang You looked at Tuoba Hao who was gobbling up with a smile, and put a bowl of soy milk on the table.

A small pile of food was wiped out after a while, Zhuang You looked at Tuoba Hao, who was licking his fingers, and hurriedly loaded a bunch of things on a plate.

After eating the wind and clouds, Zhuang You wanted to get it again,

"I, it's okay, it's not good to eat too much. ”

Zhuang You understood the meaning of Tuoba, too full would affect the action.

Watching Tuoba Hao finish drinking the soy milk, the surrounding discussions had no intention of stopping at all, they didn't understand how Zhuang You could be so familiar with Tuoba Hao.

"I heard that Zhuang You and this person are in the same dormitory. ”

"Oh my God, a dormitory, that must not be unbearable to die, you see he is dirty. ”

"It's okay to be dirty, what if he hurts someone again?"

The sound of discussion reached the ears of the two, and Tuoba Hao was expressionless, unconcerned, and had become accustomed to it.

"Tuoba, did I make a delicious one?"

Tuoba Hao nodded, got up, and prepared to leave, although it was warm in the house, it was not better than the cold wind outside!

"Tuoba, let's come to the cafeteria to eat in the future. Zhuang You shouted from behind.

Zhuang You walked up to Senior Brother Tang, who was still drinking porridge slowly, and asked, "Senior Brother Tang, has Tuoba ever hurt someone?"

He often asks Senior Brother Tang for advice, and he is already very familiar with it.

"He once ripped off a person's hand, you know, the academy does not allow students to fight privately, let alone so serious. ”

"Why?"

It seemed that the person said something about Mr. Qi, and Tuoba said a few words to him, and then they quarreled. ”

Tuoba Hao is not good at words, so Zhuang You can imagine the scene at that time.

"Do you know who that student, senior brother, is?"

"Oh, he's from the Yue Liang Xun family. ”

The Xun family, a thousand-year-old family, a great Confucian family, has a saint in the ancestors, and it is a rare Confucianism and Taoism outside of Great Qin.

Tang Jing swallowed the wonton in his mouth, sighed comfortably, said goodbye to Zhuang You, walked a few steps, and turned around:

"Mr. Qi used to be a member of the Yueliang Dao Sect, and he didn't deal with the people of the Xun family, and then something happened, so it is very wrong for the people of the Xun family to come to our academy,"

How could the Xun family come to Bailu Academy to be a student.

During class, Zhuang You looked at Mr. Qi, who was lazy and sickly wrapped in a thick coat, since the beginning of winter, Mr. Qi has been late for class for more and more time, and he has become more and more lazy.

And what is the relationship between Tuoba Hao and Mr. Qi?

For lunch, Tuoba Hao came, and Zhuang You smiled and gave him a full pot of vegetables.

For a few days, Tuoba Hao came to the canteen to eat, and everyone was surprised.

And Zhuang You, reading, practicing boxing, and practicing sticks every night, slept later and later, but Tuoba has been resting in the corner on time and has never changed.

In the past few days, someone has asked Zhuang You why he is familiar with Tuoba Hao, and Zhuang You always says: "Tuoba is a good person, and he happens to be my roommate, so what's strange about me getting acquainted with him." ”

"Also, Tuoba he is not called a wolf cub, he is called Tuoba Hao. ”

Zhuang You didn't know why he cared about Tuoba Hao, he didn't actually have anything to do with him, but he didn't understand it until a long time.

When Tuoba taught him to practice sticks, he saw that behind the withdrawn and indifferent, he was actually just a teenager like him.

Tuoba is a good person, and so is Zhuang You, but good people shouldn't be treated like this.

In the dark, Zhuang You suddenly blurted out:

"Tuoba, why did you teach me in the first place?"

He didn't expect any answer after asking, and Lala was ready to sleep.

"You taste different and it's clean. ”

After being stunned for a while, Zhuang You laughed.

It's not a wolf cub, but it's like a wolf!
