Chapter Twenty-Seven: Black Beans Listen to the Errand
It seems that last night's figure was not a cuttlefish, most of them were the strange middle-aged man in front of him. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Xu'er was disappointed and worried for a while, worried that the other party would be unfavorable to the young master. Madame used a star weapon to lay a defensive means around the small building, saying that someone with bad intentions would be driven away immediately, and I don't know if it would be good or not. She was struggling with everything, but she saw the man's right hand wave lightly, as if something was flying out of his hand, and then turned and retreated. On the trunk of the old locust tree, a piece of paper was nailed to a half-human height, gently shaking in the night wind. Su'er was stunned, and had the heart to go out to see what was written on the paper, but the little young master appeared in the field of vision again, and ran towards the old tree one by one.
Lin Du took off most of his clothes, and he was relaxed, fighting the danger of freezing and cold, and he had just sweated, and was blown in the face by the cold wind, and he couldn't help but hit a spirit. Running under the tree, he was just about to throw the rope up as he had done yesterday when he found the piece of paper on the trunk. It was nailed up with a small twig, and he raised his hand just enough to reach it, so he threw away the rope, reached out and took off the paper, looked down and saw that the paper was densely covered with words by the moonlight, and knew that it was the "secret book" taught by his uncle, and he couldn't help but cheer and turn his head and run back, ran a distance and stopped, turned back to the tree and called in a low voice: "Thank you, uncle!" and then went back to the building with joy.
Su'er knew that there would be no more shows of bears climbing trees tonight, and there was no more drama of listening to secret words across the screen, the cuttlefish was not there, and a faint sense of loss lingered in her heart, but more of it was doubts. The stranger seemed to have given the young master what he needed, and there should be no adverse intentions. Who is he? Could it be a replacement for the cuttlefish? She looked out the window for a moment, and then with a curious heart, she went back to the bed.
The next day, Lin Dui, who has always had a strong physique, finally tossed herself sick, with a fever and a cough, which made Su'er very angry. The young master climbed the tree in the middle of the night, not only did she not stop it, but she also watched it with great interest, causing the young master to suffer from the wind and cold, what is the matter? Su'er hurriedly asked a doctor, grabbed medicine and boiled medicine, and stayed by Lin Dui's bed all day long, not daring to be careless.
At dusk, Lin Dui's fever subsided, but he still had a slight cough. He frowned and drank a large bowl of bitter medicinal soup, leaned on the head of the bed and looked at Su'er pitifully, and when Su'er brought a piece of sugar to his mouth, he shook his head and said, "Sister Su'er, I want to drink chicken soup." ”
"Then you eat the sugar first, and my sister will go and heat up the chicken soup at noon, and it will be fine soon." Su'er smiled.
Lin Du shook his head again: "I want to drink freshly cooked chicken soup!"
"Okay, okay, I'll go buy a chicken and make a new one for you. Su'er smiled helplessly, saw Lin Du obediently put the sugar in her mouth, and carefully tucked the corner of the quilt for him, and went downstairs and went out into the street.
When Lin Du saw her leaving, he immediately got up from the bed, hurriedly dressed himself, put on a scarf and a hat, picked up the black beans that were gnawing on the side of the bed, and trotted all the way downstairs and went out of the door, running straight to the sea temple in the west of the city.
Lin Du was very depressed. He studied the "secret book" on the tree last night, but found that he didn't need it at all. It was a method of harnessing the power of the valley stars. Gu Xing is the star of cultivation, and its star power has the effect of assisting cultivation. After lighting up the Gu Xing, the practitioner can follow the method to run the Gu Xing power throughout the body, and this star power will be like a sponge, inhaling the free starlight around the body into the body and sending it into the Star Mansion. This method does not require constant meditation or direct starlight on the body, as long as there is scattered starlight in the surrounding space, but it is much slower than when the starlight hits the body. This method of not meditating is slower than meditation, and it is better than being in practice all the time.
After reading the "secret book", he realized that it was not that his mother refused to teach him, but that he did not have Gu Xing, nor did he light up the stars, and he could not use star power, and this method was completely useless to himself. Before lighting up the Gu Xing, ordinary cultivators had no shortcuts to steal and play tricks, so they could only meditate honestly. Lin Dui's situation is quite special, there are no Gu Star seeds, only a strange vortex that can absorb all kinds of starlight, and I don't know if this method can be used after lighting up the star. In short, he was overjoyed and had to continue to meditate like an old monk. He doesn't hate meditation, but in this way, he can't do what he promised his mother to protect Yue'er.
[Lin Duan doesn't want to be a dishonest person, since he promised his mother, he must find a way to do it, but after all, he is still a child, what can he think about for a while? Children with money and resources practice, in order to focus on the growth of one star or a few stars, generally do not meditate under the starlight but hold the spar in their hands, and there is pure planetary energy in the spar that can be absorbed, and will not be mixed with the star energy that they do not want to absorb. For example, if you only want to repair the moon, you can use moonstone, and if you only want to repair the sun, you can use blonde crystals. However, Lin Duan didn't have a spar, and he didn't dare to ask his mother for it, because cultivating with a spar would leave evidence of guilt, and his mother would discover the secret of her cultivation when she found that the energy in the stone was really gone. 】
However, this strange vortex has not moved, and I don't know how much starlight it will have to absorb before it can be lit. It is said that lighting up the planets is the easiest level than improving the spin level, and a child with ordinary qualifications should be able to light up after practicing so hard for four or five months, but he has no eyebrows at all here. It can be seen that my cultivation path is so difficult and long, and it is absolutely impossible not to seize all the time to meditate and practice!
He ran to the pond in the west of the city with his puppy black bean in his arms, and saw a row of weeping willows on the opposite bank across the sparkling water. The weeping willows have dried up, and there is a layer of withered yellow fallen leaves under the tree, and Yue'er is wearing a fiery red cotton skirt with a pair of white pants and carrying a big broom to clean under the tree. Her short hair grew a little longer, fluttering behind her ears with her movements, and the expression on her face was light and light, like the windless pond water in autumn.
Lin Du stopped, glanced at the girl on the other side, and then looked down at the black bean in his arms, he decided to have a good talk with it. Black Bean seemed to sense something, and also looked at him with a pair of small black eyes, licking his hand with a small pink tongue.
"Black Bean, why don't you grow up?" Lin Du patted Black Bean's little head and said slowly: "You have a meal of meat to eat every day, three bones to make snacks, and you also follow He Ye to the beach to eat crabs, which eats more than me, but it grows a slap in half a year." When will you grow into a majestic creature that is more than a meter tall? You see, the dog of the black uncle on the street is like a little calf, and a roar can scare away all the bad guys. You look like a big toad. ”
I don't know if Black Bean understood his words, but suddenly became restless, scratching and scratching his front chest and clothes with his two front paws, and let out a low roar in his mouth, as if expressing his dissatisfaction.
"Hmph, do you dare to be unhappy? Every day you know that you are hungry and lazy to gnaw bones, or you will chase your tail in circles, stupid and stupid. Mr. Ji can say that you are a cultivation dog, do you know what a cultivation dog is? That is, your head is very smart and your strength is very great, even if you are as small as a toad, you can defeat a small calf, no, a big buffalo. ”
The black bean crunched twice, lowered his head and licked his hand affectionately, obviously very useful for complimenting him.
"But no matter how powerful the dog is, it can't eat all day long, it will eat stupid, do you have to do some work, do you know? Well, you have to do some work!" Lin Du was licked a little itchy by the black beans, dodged a hand, adjusted the posture of holding it, let its little head face the direction of Yue'er, and continued to say one by one: "Do you see that girl, her name is Yue'er, she lives here alone, she is lonely, she is always bullied by bad boys, can you protect her?"
Lin Du coughed lightly, squatted down, and put the black beans on the ground. The black bean circled in place, and then turned back to look at him pitifully, as if he was a little reluctant.
"Don't worry, I'm not driving you away. Lin Du reached out and gently stroked its furry back, coughed again, and said, "This is just a task I gave you, you have to behave well." Even if you can't beat it, you can call a few times to notify Yue'er when the bad guy comes. I'm sure you'll be able to beat it!"
When Lin Du said this, he also seemed to feel that it was a bit self-deceptive to let a little thing with a bigger palm fight with a group of children, and after a pause, he said: "If you can't fight, run, protect yourself." Also, don't be too greedy, except for Yue'er, what others give is poisonous, and if you eat it, you will die, don't eat it. ”
After Lin Dui finished explaining, he picked up the black bean again, hugged it tightly in his arms, squeezed it so that the black bean was almost out of breath, and then he put it back on the ground, urging him to "go", and the black bean screamed twice, his eyes flashed with nostalgia and turned his head, looked at the girl on the other side of the pond, and ran along the embankment, running faster and faster.
The sound of falling leaves rustling, Yue'er soon noticed that a small black man was running on the withered yellow road, and the four little short legs were twisting quickly, and pieces of yellow leaves were flying behind it. She had seen it, it was the puppy beside Lin Dui, and she unconsciously exclaimed, "Black Bean?" Then she looked up, anxiously looking for the figure of the puppy's owner, and her eyes soon fell far away to the other side of the pond.
Lin Du looked at the girl staring at her on the other side, she was leaning on a bamboo broom taller than her, her red dress was hanging low to her knees, and a little black dog on the side of the skirt was also looking at this shore with its mouth open and its pink tongue. There were still a few remaining leaves on the willow tree on the side, which reluctantly fell from the wind, one fell on the tips of the girl's black hair, and the other on the puppy's fluffy back.
Lin Du scratched his head unconsciously, grinning stupidly.
............
Still sleepless tonight.
The second quarter moon rises later and later, and the light is getting dimmer. The time had passed, and a corner of the moonlight appeared in Dongshan, shining on the bed through the window. Su'er half leaned and half sat at the head of the bed, her eyes staring directly at the old locust tree outside the window.
She has been in this position for two hours, her body is a little stiff, at first she wanted to see if the young master would go out in the middle of the night, the young master is still sick, she no longer dares to be careless, this time she will definitely grab him and drag him back to the bedroom. However, the young master did not appear, and of course the strange figure did not either. She suddenly got up a little bored, and couldn't sleep anyway, so she simply got out of bed in her clothes, and slipped out of the building quietly without lighting candles or lanterns.
The moonlit street was blowing a north wind as cold as a knife. She tightened her clothes and shrunk back, but she did not immediately retreat into the building, but stood under the old locust tree and looked left and right a few times. She has never been a cautious maid, and there are always some thoughts in her heart that her sister calls boldness, and at this moment standing on the street in the dead of night, she suddenly became bold again, and asked in a ghostly manner: "Is anyone there?"
She wanted to meet the man last night, and if he had been here to exercise guardianship like the cuttlefish, he would probably have known about the cuttlefish. She didn't know why the taciturn guy who dropped the chain in a dangerous moment made her so worried, it didn't just seem that she felt a little guilty because she scolded him. About fifteen years old, she has reached the age of the girl Sichun, and she unconsciously likes that cold and mysterious young man.
Fifteen or sixteen years old is the age when most young boys and girls begin to talk about marriage. Mrs. also mentioned a while ago that if she wants to get married, if she has a man she likes, she can get rid of her slave status, and then give her a rich dowry, so that she can stay and fly with her favorite person in peace. She was really a little excited, but if she was an ordinary girl who fell in love with a cultivator man, how could she marry if she wanted to? Not to mention that the other party had disappeared.
So she didn't have much hope, but that guilt was still hanging on her heart, and she couldn't help but ask clearly, but unfortunately no one answered. Only the wind blows through the locust branches, and it makes a noise.
Biting her lip slightly, she raised her voice a little, and said, "I saw you last night, don't hide, come out, why don't you come out?"
Still no one answered. After being stunned for a moment, she inexplicably had a feeling that there was someone behind her, turned around suddenly, and sure enough, she found a middle-aged man standing a few steps away, looking at the figure of the person from yesterday, with a straightforward and rough face, and I don't know when she came, just standing quietly in the corner behind the tree. Su'er's heart twitched for a moment, and then quickly calmed down, thinking that it was really as sneaky as a cuttlefish.
"What do you command, girl?" the other said, his voice was low and respectful.
"Who are you? Do you know cuttlefish?" asked Su'er bluntly.
The man was slightly stunned and replied, "That's the young master of my family...... No, my young master. ”
Su'er thought to herself, sure enough, she didn't guess wrong, he was the person sent by the cuttlefish, and her mood suddenly became a little excited: "What about the others?"
The man hesitated for a moment and said, "He has another task assigned by the city lord, and he specially ordered me to protect the girl and the little master here." ...... The young master of my family said that last time, because of the matter of the City Lord's Mansion, he was derelict in his duties, and he almost lost his life, so if there is anything I can do, please ask the girl and the little master to do so. ”
I see. The cuttlefish left because of something, so he was not to blame for what happened on the beach last time, but he took the responsibility on himself and specially assigned his attendants to take care of it. Su'er noticed that the other party said "girl and little master", and it seemed that the cuttlefish still remembered her, and remembered the simple meals she brought to the terrace. She only felt that the dark clouds that had been haunting her heart for months suddenly dispersed, and her heart was full of sunshine, and she smiled and said: "It's nothing, I'll thank you for your young master for Mrs. and the little master."
