Chapter 11: The Test
When he woke up, it was already a lot of daylight, Wu Heng stretched his waist and rubbed his eyes, he slept really comfortably last night!
All the while, I either had nightmares all the time, or I was worried all day long, and I never slept as peacefully as I did last night.
He walked out of the room with a haha, and immediately sobered up a little when he heard movement in the kitchen:
"Alas, I overslept, I used to get up earlier to cook, but now my mother should be busy with work, right?"
Thinking of this, he walked into the kitchen apologetically, and sure enough, he saw his mother cooking on a fire in the kitchen. He lowered his head and said to his mother with some guilt:
"Mother, the child overslept......"
"Silly boy, did you sleep well last night?" said Chen Cui with a loving smile at her son.
"Uh...... The child doesn't have nightmares anymore......" Wu Heng replied with a shy smile.
"That's good, that's good, it seems that Aunt Lu's medical skills are really good, not only can my mother work in the field today, but even Heng'er's problem has been solved. When I go to see you Uncle Xiao after dinner, I have to thank them!"
Chen Cui was in a good mood and chattered.
Wu Heng was stunned for a moment, listening to his mother's words and slowly coming back to his senses, he asked tentatively:
"What time is it?"
"It's almost time, what's wrong?" Chen Cui asked with some confusion.
"Oh no!" Wu Heng was startled when he heard his mother's answer.
What's wrong with me? I've slept for too long, and I don't feel right when I hear what my mother said.
Generally speaking, my mother basically gets up at the end of the day, goes down to the ground at dawn, and then comes back to eat, just now she said that she will start working today, and she has come back now, it must be very late!
Uncle Xiao said that he wanted to see him, and he only got up now, and everyone would have lunch if he delayed for a while, and it would be very rude to go back in the afternoon.
Maybe people are waiting for him after breakfast, and it's a big disrespect that he hasn't gone yet!
Thinking of this, Wu Heng hurriedly wiped his face casually, and eagerly explained to his mother:
"Mother, I'm going to Aunt Lu's house, it's too late!" After speaking, he didn't wait for his mother to answer, and flew out of the house.
"Hey...... Heng'er will go after eating!" Chen Cui saw that her son was gone, and hurriedly added loudly:
"Heng'er thank you Aunt Lu for her mother!"
"Got it......" came his son's crisp response in the distance
Chen Cui shook her head with a smile and muttered to herself:
"This kid doesn't know how to be considerate, so I'll leave him some food......"
......
"Fuck it! What the hell is howling early in the morning!"
After a while, Wu Lao'er scolded and scolded in the hall, but he didn't go out early today.
Chen Cui hurriedly packed up everything, took the food out, lowered her head and didn't squeak, and silently waited for her to eat.
"Where did the turtle son die?"
Wu Lao Er seemed to be a little angry when he was woken up, and asked in a vicious voice.
"That Xiao ...... Village Chief Xiao asked him to come over......" Chen Cui replied cautiously.
Wu Lao Er's eating action paused, his face was cloudy, he didn't know what he was thinking, and then he snorted again, and then continued to eat.
Chen Cui quietly touched the sweat, spit out a turbid breath, and thought in his heart: It seems that this person was really restrained by Village Chief Xiao......
......
Wu Heng ran all the way and provoked chickens and dogs jumping on the road, he was a little annoyed, why did he sleep for so long?
Thinking about it, he ran faster and faster, and it didn't take long for him to see the courtyard gate of the Xiao family from a distance:
Gravel paving, blue brick houses, and a few wooden pillars stand tall, although it is not magnificent, but it also gives people a different kind of freshness and neatness.
On the bluestone steps, there was still a man standing facing the courtyard door, in a light blue shirt, with his hands behind his back......
Wu Heng secretly said badly, this Uncle Xiao is really waiting for himself......
He hurried up again, and by the time he finally arrived, he was out of breath.
Looking at the man's back, Wu Heng lowered his head and said nervously:
Xiao ...... Uncle Shaw...... I...... I ......"
Before Wu Heng's words were finished, he saw the man move, turned around and went down the steps, walked to the mountain behind his house, and only said lightly:
"Follow me!"
Wu Heng didn't think much else, and hurriedly followed behind the man.
The man didn't say anything along the way, just walked forward silently. Wu Heng couldn't open his mouth to ask, so he had to follow him all the way.
As he walked, Wu Heng's nervous mood at the beginning gradually disappeared, replaced by soreness and fatigue in his legs and feet......
This unknown hill is about thirty or forty feet high, and it is extremely steep and strangely rocky.
Wu Heng hadn't eaten in the morning, and he had been running wildly all the way, his small body was already a little tired, and at this moment, he was climbing mountains and rocks, and he had already begun to tremble with his legs and feet.
Looking at the man in front of him who was still unhurried and unhurried, Wu Heng gritted his teeth and followed behind him step by step......
I don't know how long it took to stay, but after about half an hour, they finally reached the top of the mountain, and at this time, the man in front also stopped.
Wu Heng couldn't hold back any longer, sat on the ground with trembling hands and feet, and gasped for breath......
The man in front nodded without a trace, and asked lightly:
"Do you know why I called you here today?"
Wu Heng shook his head blankly, and just wanted to say "I don't know", but found that he was already weak.
Fortunately, the man seemed to know that he could not answer, so he said to himself:
"Because I think you're a credible person!"
“......”
He is a credible person? What is this? Wu Heng is already even more confused......
The man didn't explain, and raised his right hand slightly......
At that moment, Wu Heng suddenly felt an unusual aura!
To be precise, he suddenly felt that the man in front of him had changed......
If he just felt like a spring breeze and was elegant, then at this moment he is extremely aggressive and sharp!
Although Wu Heng didn't know why he felt this way, he really felt it, and he felt a depression......
With a "swish", Wu Heng's eyes widened!
He noticed that a light blue sword appeared in front of the man's two fingers, which was buzzing and extremely sharp......
Then I saw the man wave his hand casually, and the sound of "swish, swish, swish" was incessant, and the light blue long sword was actually flying from the sky without wind! After a while, it stopped beside the man, as if it had never moved just now......
Wu Heng rubbed his eyes vigorously, opened his mouth wide, and even had some difficulty breathing......
"Do you know the cultivator?" the man in front finally asked again.
Wu Heng shook his head mechanically, he couldn't answer anymore, because the scene in front of him had deeply shocked his young heart.
The man in front of him seemed to have eyes behind his back, he was not surprised at all by Wu Heng's reaction, and then slowly said:
"The so-called cultivator is to use the aura of heaven and earth to cultivate through a certain exercise, so that he can become strong and travel in the sky. ”
Wu Heng nodded as if he didn't understand......
"Do you want to learn?" the man asked
"Think!" This time Wu Heng did not hesitate and said categorically.
"What do you want to learn from it?" the man asked again
"I want to protect my mother!"
Wu Heng finally stood up, although he was still trembling, his eyes were surprisingly firm......
The corners of the man's mouth curled slightly, and a faint smile appeared, and then he said:
"Come back to this place tomorrow, don't tell anyone, and don't be late!"
......
At this moment, Wu Heng saw that the man in front of him finally turned around, only to see that his eyes were sharp and his sword eyebrows were fluttering out of the dust, it was Xiao Dalang, the man of the Xiao family!
