Chapter 8: Reunion
The next day, halfway up the mountain, in the Qingyin Pavilion, Yi Xiaotian opened his eyes, a familiar little face came into view, and Wen You'er pounced on Yi Xiaotian with a "wow" and cried......
Although it was a reunion after a long absence, after all, the two were still children, and after a short hug and crying, the house was full of laughter and laughter, frolicking and playing, and the sadness and loneliness they suffered in the two months of parting suddenly disappeared. The brother-sister affection in this secular world, even if it is like Master Shuiyi's dusty state of mind, it can't help but be moved to tears, after all, two hundred years ago, when he was as old as Wen You'er, he also had relatives and brothers.
"Again. As soon as Shui walked into the house, he called Wen again.
"Former ...... Seniors early. Yi Xiaotian hurriedly stopped the fighting, and bowed his head in greeting, his voice seemed quite nervous. Wen You'er also immediately stood beside Yi Xiaotian in a regular manner, looking up at Shui Yi.
"Yi Xiaotian, I am Emei Pai Shuiyi, and I saved you last night. Shuichi continued.
"Thank you, Senior Shuiyi, last night?...... Am I in Emei now?" Yi Xiaotian couldn't remember the events of last night clearly, only vaguely remembered that the woman in white was fighting with a black shadow, and he didn't know it after that.
"Brother Xiaotian, this is the Qingyin Pavilion of Emei Mountain, which the master brought you back last night. Wen You'er changed her usual silence, took Yi Xiaotian's hand, and said very happily.
Seeing Wen You'er smiling easily and cheerfully for the first time, Shui Yi was also sincerely happy: "You'er...... You...... I think I can laugh too, hahahaha. Touching Wen You'er's head, the water was a little moist again.
Wen You'er took a step back, and actually knelt down with a thud: "Master, thank you for saving my brother Xiaotian." ”
Shui Yi seemed to be a little caught off guard and flattered, and quickly helped Wen You'er up, and turned to Yi Xiaotian with a smile: "Little Tianhousheng, although I rescued you back, I am worried that there is nowhere to settle, I am not allowed to enter my sect without formal selection......
Before Shui finished speaking, Wen You'er took a step forward, hugged Shui Yi's right leg, played a trick, raised his head and looked at Shui Yi anxiously: "Master! I don't want Brother Xiaotian to go!
Shui Yi rubbed Wen You'er's head, was silent for a moment, and said softly: "Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, the master has his own way to ......" Looking at Yi Xiaotian, Shui Yi continued: "However, Emei is a mountain, with a radius of hundreds of miles, and more than 100 large and small peaks, how can it be monopolized by my Emei faction, except for the main peak of Jinding and some other forbidden places of our faction, other places have been inhabited by mountain people since ancient times, and they have lived in harmony with my Emei faction for generations, and there are often goods exchanges. If you are willing, I will leave you in the mountains and find a nearby mountain village to live, so that your brother and sister can see each other often. ”
Yi Xiaotian was silent, but Wen You'er clapped his hands and jumped up, cheering. Seeing that Wen You'er was so excited, Yi Xiaotian didn't think about it, looked at Shui Yi, and nodded slightly.
Seeing that Yi Xiaotian agreed, Shui smiled toothily, his chest rose and fell slightly, as if he secretly let out a long breath......
"Little call Hanako!" The warm scene in the house was broken by Xiao Yun's angry roar.
Yi Xiaotian recognized the arrogant female voice, and looked at the source of the voice in a panic, only to see Xiao Yun standing at the door with his hands crossed, the copper bell staring at him with big eyes, and he didn't feel that he retreated backwards, and pulled Wen You'er to hide behind Shui Yi.
Shui Yi was also a little surprised in his heart, Xiao Yun'er was the most well-behaved and polite on weekdays, why did he suddenly shout so much in front of him? Then he turned his head to look at Xiao Yun and asked, "Yun'er, why are you shouting?"
Xiao Yun put away her crossed hands, clasped her fists and bent down to Shui Yi and saluted, "Yun'er to meet the master." After finishing up, he pouted and glanced at Yi Xiaotian with slanted eyes, and let out a heavy "hum!" in his nose.
Yi Xiaotian just buried his head to avoid Xiao Yun's eyes, but it was Wen You'er who grabbed the front step by step, learning from Xiao Yun's appearance, crossing his waist with one hand and pointing at Xiao Yun with the other: "Senior Sister Xiao Yun!
Seeing that the three children were about to make trouble, Shui Yi waved his sleeves and shouted: "Shut up for me!"
After some inquiry, it was really as Shui Yi speculated, and after some teaching, intending to resolve the contradiction between Yi Xiaotian and Xiao Yun, he told Yi Xiaotian a few words, let Xiao Yun stay alone, and let Wen Youer lead Yi Xiaotian out.
Out of the palace gate, seeing that Wen You'er was still pouting, Yi Xiaotian smiled and said, "Hehe, sister You'er, don't worry, my brother will definitely listen to Master Shuiyi's words in the future, not like that Xiao Yun's evil mother-in-law, and you must also obediently listen to your master's words, cultivate well, and only when you grow up can you protect your brother, right?"
Wen You'er nodded heavily, "Hmm!", pulled up Yi Xiaotian and ran to the row of big water tanks, grabbed two small wooden barrels on the ground and handed them to Yi Xiaotian, and he also screwed two and ran out of the courtyard: "Brother Xiaotian, let's go and cultivate with You'er!"
Yi Xiaotian looked down at a small wooden barrel in his hand, and then looked up at Wen You'er, who had already run out of the hospital, Leng was stunned in place, and when he heard Wen You'er calling again, he couldn't help but follow out.
After a morning of noisy, it is almost noon, although the Emei Mid-Mountain in August is full of ancient trees and green trees, the scorching sun at noon is still a little scorching, and the rain last night is steaming, humid and stuffy. Due to long-term malnutrition, Yi Xiaotian was already thin and weak, and he trotted all the way behind Wen You'er, which made Yi Xiaotian dizzy.
After running for two miles, he arrived at the top of the Niu Xin Pavilion, Yi Xiaotian was physically exhausted, he tripped and fell to the ground with a soft foot, and the two wooden barrels rolled to the ground, gurgling down the hillside and falling into the pool. Wen You'er heard the sound, looked back at Yi Xiaotian's embarrassment, and said with a smile: "Brother Xiaotian, you go back to Qingyin Pavilion to get two buckets again, and run slowly to wait for you!"
Yi Xiaotian said "um" weakly, got up and wanted to turn back, but then thought about it, although the wooden barrel was not rare, but as soon as he came to this Qingyin Pavilion, he lost the things of Master Shuiyi, how to be born is not good, he found a path down the mountain, and after a while, he arrived at the edge of the waterhole below the Niuxin Pavilion.
Looking at the wooden barrel in the pool, it was floating in the middle of the water, far beyond reach, Yi Xiaotian threw out a few stones one after another to hit the barrel to the shore, but to no avail, ran to the forest to break a slender young bamboo, hooked for a long time and missed, tired and sweaty, actually fighting with the wooden barrel on the water surface, thinking: I have to pick you up today, hum.
Looking around, I was afraid that I would meet someone passing by for a while, so I just took off my shoes, put on my clothes and plunged into the waterhole with a "plop" and swam to the center of the waterhole. In just four or five zhang distance, Yi Xiaotian was indeed swimming very hard, only feeling that the water temperature was very cool and mild when he first entered the water, but the closer he got to the center, it quickly became cold and biting, and he was about to catch the barrel, Yi Xiaotian was already numb and stiff from the cold, let him grit his teeth and insist on trying to paddle and swim, but his hands and feet did not obey the call as if they were not his own, and even choked a few mouthfuls of cold pool water, and his consciousness was already confused, and he sank straight down like an iron lump.
I don't know how much time passed, on the rocks at the bottom of the pool, Yi Xiaotian, who was lying dead, opened his eyes, his chest rose and fell slightly, and he was actually breathing. Yi Xiaotian remembered that he had just drowned, and his heart was shocked, so he quickly held his breath and looked at it, he was under the water, and it seemed to be lying in a big round bubble, with water on all sides under his eyes, but the skin on his body was dry to the touch, and he didn't feel wet.
Yi Xiaotian was even more shocked, tried to move, his hands and feet had regained consciousness, and he had the courage to take a slight breath, which was the same as breathing on the ground, Yi Xiaotian wondered in his heart: Isn't it that I have drowned before, and now I have become a ghost?
Although his heart was full of doubts, Yi Xiaotian still stood up, walked to the edge of the bubble, hesitated for a long time and reached out to poke, the water in the Sifang Pool suddenly flooded over, and there was no time to react, Yi Xiaotian instinctively took the last breath of air, kicked hard, and swam desperately towards the water. The water in the pool was not deep, Yi Xiaotian quickly poked his head out of the water, just hugged the wooden barrel on the surface of the water, gasped for a few breaths, and found that the water in the pool was no longer cold, but he didn't dare to stop, holding a wooden barrel in one hand, and quickly swam ashore.
Sitting on the shore in a daze, Yi Xiaotian's head was a mess, and he couldn't figure out what had just happened. After a while, he suddenly remembered Wen You'er, so he twisted the barrel all the way down the hill and went to the direction of the White Dragon Cave...... In the evening, Yi Xiaotian picked up Wen You'er and poured the last bucket of spring water into the vat, until the spring water in the vat overflowed, Wen You'er clapped his hands and danced happily, giggling happily.
For dinner that day, there was one more person on the table, and Liu Min also deliberately made a few more seasonal vegetables, Shui Yi and Wen You'er were the happiest to eat, Xiao Yun also ate a lot, frowning and glaring at Yi Xiaotian from time to time. Only Yi Xiaotian seemed to be unrelenting, mechanically chewing and swallowing, not looking at Xiao Yun at all, and the words of others at the table were all unintentional to listen, just as if he had found a place for himself to say that he had found a place to go, and let Liu Min take him there in a few days.
