Chapter 25: Homework
Liu Zifeng slept in clothes, but he couldn't sleep in a half-dream. One moment I dreamed that I had returned to my childhood, my father was serious and my mother was kind, and then I dreamed that Liu Zikong was pointing a long sword at him and saying something.
This situation lasted for a few hours, until the distant sky revealed the whiteness of the fish's belly, and Liu Zifeng woke up leisurely, with an obvious haggard look on his face. He covered his mouth and yawned, still feeling sleepy. But looking at the sky outside the window, I sighed helplessly. It won't be long before Yue Zixuan will come and call him to do his homework.
As the name suggests, homework is to complete the things to be done every day, senior brother Ji Zhongyang, second senior brother Li Tiancheng and fourth senior brother Su Li were accepted by Elder Ji early, and they are already out of the introductory stage, so there is naturally no need to do this homework anymore. Although Yue Zixuan grew up in Luoyue Peak since she was a child, her cultivation time began at the age of fifteen.
Before the age of fifteen, the bones and body are not fully developed, and if you start to contact the cultivation of the mental method, it will cause a lot of damage to the body.
Therefore, the only things that need to be done on the Falling Moon Peak now are Yue Zixuan and Liu Zifeng. Elder Ji is often absent, and several senior brothers love this junior sister very much. When Liu Zifeng had not yet started, Yue Zixuan often slipped out to play, and her homework was left behind. It's just that she is talented and intelligent, and she has her own cultivation method, and her speed of Dao refinement is much faster than that of several others. Therefore, they also turned a blind eye to her behavior.
Liu Zifeng rubbed his eyes and got out of bed. Seeing Hei Yan sleeping soundly on the side, he didn't care about it. I moved my body for a while, and as soon as I opened the door, I saw a figure and was startled.
reacted, and it was Yue Zixuan standing in front of the door. The latter looked surprised and asked, "Stupid, how did you know I was coming?"
She was wearing a white robe today, her long black hair was coiled high, and a lilac hosta held it in place. This kind of appearance is somewhat similar to the dress of Master Xuanyu of Xinghua Peak. Liu Zifeng was also the first time to see her dressed like this, as if it was the standard dress of the female disciples of the Luoxia Sect. As for the male disciples, as long as they are not too luxurious and eye-catching, they are also unattended.
Liu Zifeng coughed dryly, forcibly made herself look more energetic, and said to her: "Senior sister, you came so early!"
Yue Zixuan frowned dissatisfiedly, pointed to the distance and said, "The sun is about to come out, you just woke up, how can this work? I have decided, the time to do homework tomorrow will be moved forward by another hour!"
Liu Zifeng looked at the sun that had just poked out his head in the distance, and when she said this, he seemed to be really lazy, and hurriedly said, "I must get up early tomorrow." ”
Yue Zixuan nodded, and her tone was old-fashioned: "This is about the same! Senior sister has been getting started for a long time, and this is all done to make you cultivate faster and harder, and you can reach the height of Master as soon as possible, understand?"
Liu Zifeng nodded hurriedly and replied, "Understood." I will work hard in the future and take surpassing Master as my goal!"
Yue Zixuan looked at him with a serious face, and suddenly couldn't help it, "poof" Yile, and said, "Okay, I'm teasing you, why are you so serious." Master is so powerful, you don't know when you will be able to catch up. The only goal now is to get the homework done. ”
Liu Zifeng said strangely: "Senior sister, I used to do hard work in the village. I'm fine just by carrying water. ”
Yue Zixuan smiled slyly, rolled her eyes, and said, "Bragging! If you are really as good as you say, then do my homework together, okay?"
Liu Zifeng nodded and said, "No problem, today's senior sister's homework will be wrapped up in me!"
Yue Zixuan sighed, didn't say anything, and walked forward. After walking a few steps, he turned around and said to Liu Zifeng: "What are you still doing in a daze?
Liu Zifeng closed the door of the room, hurriedly caught up with the figure in front of him who was about to disappear, and went to the front mountain together.
After a short time, Liu Zifeng saw the Falling Moon Palace. The two of them did not stop, and after walking for dozens of meters, they saw two large vats. Next to the vat lay four small wooden barrels, two of which appeared to be unused. Needless to say, that's the barrel of the willow wind.
"Senior brother, just now you said that you want to help me carry water, but I didn't take advantage of you! ”
After speaking, Yue Zixuan stood aside and watched with interest. Liu Zifeng walked to the front of the big tank, and it didn't look very deep, just like the water tank in an ordinary villager's house. Looking at the appearance, it is estimated that only six buckets are enough to fill a tank of water. He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and wanted to pick up the small wooden barrel and go down the mountain to fetch water.
However, as soon as he lifted the bucket, he suddenly felt that his arms were extremely heavy, as if he was holding dozens of pounds of heavy objects in his hands, which was very heavy.
Liu Zifeng was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly looked at the barrel in his hand. I saw that the barrel was empty, only the walls of the barrel were dry yellow with scattered hoarfrost.
Yue Zixuan saw that he was stupid, and deliberately asked, "Stupid, what are you doing stupidly there? Do you have a lot of strength? Why don't you hurry up and fetch water?"
Liu Zifeng looked at the cunning in her eyes, where did she not know that this bucket was extraordinary, and secretly scolded herself for being arrogant in her heart.
But at this time, there were words of suffering, and he felt blushing when he said it, so he had to carry two buckets and staggered down the mountain.
Yue Zixuan followed behind him, and Liu Zifeng could hear her brisk footsteps. Although I couldn't see her expression, I guess it was gloating.
This is the second time he has walked on this mountain path since the last time he climbed the Falling Moon Peak. This time is not as easy as last time, last time there was Li Tiancheng to help him carry his luggage, Rao is so tired that he choked enough. As the saying goes, it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, and when you walk on the narrow mountain road, the corner of your eye is not glancing down the mountain. After a while, beads of sweat burst from his forehead, and his heart and back were wet with sweat.
The weather is cold, but the willow wind is full of white air. At this time, he was sweating profusely, and the sweat was frozen and stuck to his clothes. The barrel in his hand felt heavier and heavier, his fingers ached, and his knuckles were faintly blue.
While carrying the heavy barrel in your hand, you have to overcome the fear in your heart. Liu Zifeng felt tormented, and the barrel hit his leg on the mountain wall from time to time while walking, and he grinned for a while. But the footsteps behind him were already light, and Yue Zixuan followed him unhurriedly.
When he walked fast, his steps quickened behind him, and when he slowed down, his pace slowed down.
After more than half an hour, Liu Zifeng finally walked down the mountain. There was a stream not far ahead, and he was in good spirits, and his pace quickened a little to the river.
The water is crystal clear, and there is no sign of freezing, even in the cold of winter. Liu Zifeng threw the barrel aside and sat down on a large rock, panting. When I raised my hand and looked at it, my fingers were all blue, and it was a little difficult to even clench my fists. The underwear had been soaked with sweat and frozen into a hard one.
After sitting and resting for a while, Liu Zifeng felt that his strength had recovered somewhat, so he picked up the bucket and fetched two buckets of water by the river, turned around and walked towards the mountain.
Maybe it's because I'm used to the weight of the barrel when I went down the mountain, but this time it doesn't feel as heavy as it was. Even if the bucket was filled with water, it was nothing compared to the oddly heavy and somewhat scary wooden barrel.
Liu Zifeng's hands hurt, but the situation was much better than just now. In his eyes, it is much easier to go up the mountain than to go down, at least he won't always look down, and his heart is naturally not so nervous.
Yue Zixuan really followed behind, I don't know if I wanted to see Liu Zifeng's jokes, or I was afraid that he would fall down the mountain if he was careless. After all, Liu Zifeng can't even drive the magic weapon, and once he falls off the mountain, he will lose his life nine times out of ten.
In this way, the two of them went one after the other. Liu Zifeng gasped in front of him, his face flushed, and Yue Zixuan followed behind him, his steps brisk and smiling.
After a short time, Liu Zifeng climbed up to the peak of the falling moon and poured the water from the wooden barrel into the vat. An hour and a half passed this back and forth, and in addition to the four buckets in his own vat, plus Yue Zixuan's vat, it took five rounds to complete.
Calculate the time so that you can finish your homework until it gets dark. Liu Zifeng didn't dare to rest, grabbed the bucket and was about to go down the mountain, Yue Zixuan stopped him on the side, and asked with a smile: "Stupid, have you suffered hardships? How about it? Do you want Senior Sister to be kind and exempt you from your senior sister's homework?"
Liu Zifeng smiled bitterly, but shook his head again and again, and said firmly: "Since I promised my senior sister's matter, then whatever I say will be done." ”
After speaking, he ignored Yue Zixuan's stunned face, turned around and walked down the mountain.
Yue Zixuan watched his back disappear little by little, and then came back to his senses. Somehow, she stomped her foot angrily and scolded in her mouth: "Stupid!" Originally, she wanted to frustrate Liu Zifeng's sharpness, but she didn't expect him to be so brainless. If you don't accept the softness, you have to fill two large tanks of water.
Here, the willow wind went down again. The gravel steps creaked loudly when he stepped on them, but after two trips, Liu Zifeng got used to the mountain road. Except for the pain on the soles of my feet, I am not so scared when I occasionally look down the mountain.
Yue Zixuan didn't follow him anymore, but sat on a boulder on the top of the mountain, blowing the mountain wind, and glanced at the figure carrying water on the mountain road from time to time.
Liu Zifeng walked, there were no footsteps behind him, and although his heart was quiet, he felt a sense of emptiness for some reason. When the mountain breeze blew, he put down the barrel and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked up at a small black dot on the top of the mountain. I found that I couldn't see the figure clearly, so I had to give up and continue to go down the mountain to carry water.
Time passed little by little, and in a blink of an eye, the sun was in the middle of the sky, Liu Zifeng glanced at the sun, and estimated that it was noon. At this moment, he fetched two more buckets of water. There were traces of blood on the handle of the barrel, and looking at Liu Zifeng's hands, there were already seven or eight blood blisters, several of which had broken and were bleeding.
He stretched out his hand into the river, and a cold and bone-chilling sensation hit him, and the pain in his hand suddenly decreased a little. After a while, I felt my fingers tingle from the cold, and then I withdrew my hands. He twisted his sleeve with one hand and tore off a few strands of cloth with his teeth. Then wrap the strip of cloth around the blood blister, tie it tightly with the mouth, and do the same with the other hand.
After doing all this, he carried the bucket and walked up the hill. Yue Zixuan didn't know where she went, and she was no longer on the top of the mountain. Liu Zifeng said that two buckets of water were poured into her tank, and when she looked around, she didn't find her figure, and she was stunned. But there was no expression on his face, and he went down with the bucket.
