Chapter 17: Second Senior Brother
The woman's mother-in-law's house and her mother-in-law's house were in the neighboring village, and her daughter's bones were not cold, when she heard the old pious woman chewing her tongue everywhere, and she was almost angry to death. There is also a younger brother in the mother's family who has not yet started a family, who is young and vigorous, and goes to the family to reason. β
"What's reasonable, this family is not a reasonable person, just call them to teach them a lesson. Xiang'er waved her fist indignantly, eager to fight for this woman's family.
Speaking of this, Shen Xingluo sighed very emotionally: "Yes, this person, whether it is in the mortal world or in our immortal cultivation world, fists are the last word." The little brother came to the door and said that he couldn't do it, but was kidnapped by gangsters and used to threaten the peasant woman's husband's family and ask them to ransom people with money. β
"Huh?" The plot is developing too fast, and the capacity of Xiang'er's little head is a little insufficient.
"The wealth is moving, the second senior brother gave the family such a large sum of money, their family is not making a lot of money in a muffled voice, but letting this old woman go around blindly, it will naturally be remembered by thieves. But the woman's husband was a good man, and when he heard that her brother-in-law had been kidnapped, he hurriedly sent some gold and silver to the men. β
"Didn't that old pious woman make trouble?"
"It's a fuss, so I missed the time to pay the money, and the other party broke one of my brother-in-law's arms, and then the bleeding didn't stop, and the person was gone. β
Xiang'er was stunned, her mouth opened slightly, and she didn't know what words to use to express her thoughts for a while. I feel that the thief is vicious and cruel, and I think the old woman is ruthless. She didn't know which one was more disgusting and hateful.
"There is only a pair of old fathers and mothers left in my mother's house, and they wash their faces with tears every day," Shen Xingluo said, "About two years later, the second senior brother passed by that village and wanted to go and see, but before he entered the village, he heard the people in the village pointing and pointing and saying everything." β
The monks were so knowledgeable that the slightest movement could not escape their ears, not to mention that the people in the village were chatting loudly, so they didn't need to listen to them at all.
"I guess the second senior brother's expression must have been very wonderful when he heard those words. Shen Xingluo nodded his chin with his hand and guessed with interest, "In short, he felt ashamed of the woman's biological parents, and after going back to tell the master, he pretended to be a helpless refugee and fell at the door of the house, and after being taken in by the old couple, he recognized his father-in-law and mother in the name of repaying his kindness. Later, when there was a war, the old couple moved to the natural city. β
"He opened a medical clinic here, and the old couple didn't know that he was an immortal cultivator, in order to help him reduce his burden, he also got up early every day and went to other people's houses to help, in fact, I think this ordinary life of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea is also good, and it is also his blessing that the second senior brother can have this red dust tribulation. Shen Xingluo said, "I want to try this kind of life when I have the opportunity, what do you say, hey, why are you looking at me like this?"
After Shen Xingluo talked for a long time, she found that her cute little junior sister was staring at her face with bright eyes, as if she didn't know her.
Xiang'er looked around her two white index fingers and said with a red face: "No, I just feel that my senior sister's appearance is different from before." β
"What's different?" Shen Xingluo subconsciously touched his face and asked inexplicably.
"That's it," Xiang'er peeked at her and whispered, "It's more popular than before, ah, no, I didn't mean that, I mean that my senior sister used to give me the feeling of being high and not eating the fireworks of the world." β
Hearing this, Shen Xingluo couldn't help but laugh "poof": "What now?"
"Now I feel that my sister is actually the same as us, just like my cousin. Xiang'er thought hard.
It's just gossip, Shen Xingluo really wants to laugh, this kid is too cute, I want to talk about her gossip, and I nag around the bush for such a big deal, just because I'm afraid that she will be angry, well, yes, it's a good boy.
"Because I suddenly feel that the high place is unbearable, I have to go down to the earth from time to time to walk, observe the people's feelings, and practice the people's feelings to better cultivate the mind and cultivate the Tao. Shen Xingluo suddenly said with a straight face.
"Really?" Xiang'er's big black and white eyes were clearly confused, and reason told her to believe her senior sister's words, but looking at her senior sister's cunning gaze, it seemedγIt seems that it is not so reliableγ
As he spoke, a short, small, obscene-looking man approached from the other side of the stone path, his eyes rolling around like a mouse.
Seeing Shen Xingluo and Xiang'er standing on the side of the road, their little eyes suddenly shot out, and their hands involuntarily staggered together and rubbed each other a few times, and their mouths let out disgusting laughter.
"Big beauty, little beauty. β
Shen Xingluo's face suddenly fell, and the temperature around her seemed to drop all at once with her cold face.
Xiang'er raised her eyebrows, crossed her waist, and said crisply: "Look at what, and then look at digging out your eyes and feeding the dogs." β
The man laughed and wanted to say something, but when Shen Xingluo looked at him like this, he suddenly felt cold, couldn't say anything, and rushed to the door of Li's house like a rabbit with oil on the soles of his feet, and jumped in without knocking on the door.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I'm here, hey, someone from your house is here. β
Xiang'er looked at his disappearing back and spat fiercely: "What's it, it's really uncomfortable for people to watch." She was too young to understand what that look meant, but as a girl, she was very uncomfortable and disgusted by this offensive gaze.
At the same time, Shen Xingluo looked up at the other side of the stone road and smiled, an old man about forty years old with a goatee, walking slowly with a medicine box on his back, his dark eyes seemed gentle, but from time to time there was a deep essence and brightness.
"Senior brother. Shen Xingluo straightened up and respectfully bowed to the old man.
Chunyang Zhenren, who should be called Zhao Chunyang now, saw Shen Xingluo standing in front of his house, only paused slightly, and then smiled gently: "Ah Luo is here." Then he looked at Xiang'er again, "This is the little sister newly accepted by the master." β
"Yes. Shen Xingluo said, turning his head and signaling Xiang'er to salute Zhao Chunyang.
Xiang'er looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, gentle with inadvertent majesty, it seemed to be more incomprehensible than the unsmiling master, her heart tightened, and she sincerely gave birth to a feeling of admiration, and suddenly knelt down with a "poof", and said crisply: "Second senior brother is above, please accept the senior sister's salute." After that, he kowtowed three times on the bluestone slab.
This sudden surprise startled Shen Xingluo, and also made Zhao Chunyang laugh, stepped forward to help her up, and glanced at Shen Xingluo with his eyes and teased: "This little junior sister is much more interesting than you." β
Shen Xingluo let out a long sigh: "I think I was also young and ignorant back then, and then I ......" Suddenly, she stopped smiling and looked at Zhao Chunyang and stopped talking.
"yes, I think I was so young and ignorant back then. Zhao Chunyang also sighed, and looked at Shen Xingluo with the same smile.
The two looked at each other, and in an instant, there seemed to be a burst of fire in the invisible air. Xiang'er, who was caught in the middle, seemed to be pierced by ten thousand arrows, and quickly lowered his head and hid to the side.
"Senior brother, you are an elder brother, you must take care of your junior sister. Shen Xingluo smiled.
"Okay, junior sister, I will definitely take good care of you as a brother. As he spoke, he reached under his medicine box.
Shen Xingluo immediately stood up straight unconsciously, didn't dare to be hippie anymore, and took the initiative to step forward and open the door of Zhao Chunyang's house: "Senior brother, please come in." β
The corners of Zhao Chunyang's mouth twitched: "Have you forgotten that this is my home?"
"Really?" Shen Xingluo was at first dazed, and then patted his forehead with a sudden realization, and said innocently, "I forgot." β
Zhao Chunyang was helpless, and his brain, which had been comfortable for several years, began to hurt a little.
Even more depressed than Zhao Chunyang was Xiang'er, why was the senior sister able to open the door of the senior brother's house, but let her stand at the door for more than an hour, was it to exercise her patience?
