"Little brother."

Xin Yueming's head pierced through the dense branches and leaves, and there was a leaf that fell at some time on his forehead. When he saw the cold river under the tree, he showed a bright smile, "Why, you don't want to listen to the old man's nagging gone?"

"Master has finished." Jiang Shuihan raised his head to look at the bright young man, and smiled slightly, "You shouldn't have walked in front of him."

"Could it be that I sneak away, that's all right?"

"No, but at least it's a kind of respect for Master." Jiang Shuihan sighed, and said, "Come down, it's really uncomfortable for me to look up at you like this."

Xin Yueming was not happy, and sat on the tree trunk swinging with two legs, deliberately smiled and said, "No, it's hard to look at you like this, let me look at you for a while."

Maybe it's because he didn't keep up with his nutrition before, Jiang Shuihan's height grew very slowly, but he was always a little taller than Xin Yueming.In Xin Yueming's mind, even if Jiang Shuihan was three years older than him, he was still his junior.Every time I think I've grown a lot taller, but compared to my senior brother, I'm always a bit shorter, which is really a shame as a senior brother.

Xin Yueming said this very naturally, but Jiang Shuihan's heart skipped a beat, and he quietly sped up a little.

"Come down quickly."

"Oh, then follow me."

"you?"

The moment Jiang Shuihan was stunned, Xin Yueming jumped off the tree trunk and fell straight to the ground.He hurriedly took a step forward, just in time to catch Xin Yueming in his arms.

"Hahaha."

Xin Yueming's laughter scared away all the birds. He hugged Jiang Shuihan and laughed so hard, but he didn't expect that the person in his arms had already been so shocked that his mind went blank.It took Jiang Shuihan a long while before all the nervous reactions returned to their original positions, and the instigator in his arms was still smiling so happily.

But feeling the warmth coming from his arms, he couldn't get angry, and sighed, "What if I don't catch you?"

Xin Yueming patted him on the back and said with a smile, "I believe in you."

"Master said he has something to do with you, and he will wait for you in the ancestral hall."

Jiang Shuihan let go of his hand calmly, secretly calming his racing heart.No one knew how happy Xin Yueming was when he said he believed in him.

"Ah?" Xin Yueming frowned, the excitement just now was blown away by the cold wind, "Could it be that the old man is angry and wants to punish me."

"You have done so many things, when did Master ever get really angry?"

Xin Yueming was full of reluctance, but was escorted to the ancestral hall by Jiang Shuihan himself.The four seasons change on the green hills, but inside the ancestral hall, it seems that time and space are stagnant. Since he came in as a teacher for the first time, he hasn't seen a single change.To his surprise, Jiang Hu closed his eyes and sat on the cushion in front of the memorial tablet. He was never punished by Jiang Hu to read silently.Judging by this posture, could it be that he has committed some serious problems?

Before Xin Yueming could think clearly, Jiang Hu gently opened his eyes and said to him, "Yueming, come here."

Seeing that Jianghu was still as indifferent as usual, Xin Yueming's heart finally settled down, she walked over and sat across from Jianghu, and said softly, "Master."

"Three invitations and four invitations, are you finally willing to come?"

Xin Yueming rubbed the tip of his nose in embarrassment, and said with a smile, "Master, if there is anything wrong with this disciple, just tell me, I am scared by you now."

Jiang Hu smiled and shook his head, "You."

His smile gradually slowed down, and he asked back, "Yueming, I remember that you came to the Xiaoyao Sect to be a teacher, and you just wanted to be a hero like the patriarch. Why, today you want to say something that you don't want to be a blockbuster."

"Didn't I explain it?"

"I want to hear the truth."

Jianghu's voice was still calm, but he faintly showed the aura of the head of the sect.Xin Yueming was startled, looked down at the tassels on the mat, and then spoke after a while.

"My kung fu is not good, even Xiaohan is not as good, how can I become a blockbuster."

"But in my heart, you are not someone who will shrink back when encountering difficulties."

"I."

"Kungfu is not good, but it can be practiced. My Xiaoyao School's swordsmanship and mentality are not bad. According to your progress, it is considered superior among the younger generation. But now, you don't have such thoughts at all." Jianghu looked at Xin Yueming with a smile on his face. With a gentleness rarely seen in the past, he continued, "I heard that your eldest brother is going to Zhaoyang Mountain this time."

"Yes." Xin Yueming hummed from his nostrils.

"I think your parents' expectations are all placed on your elder brother, and they are just asking you to be safe. Or, they didn't expect you to shine at the flower viewing party at all."

Xin Yueming raised her eyes abruptly, facing Jianghu's smiling eyes.He didn't expect that Jianghu, who thought he wouldn't care about anything except the flowers and plants in the courtyard and the ancestral hall, would know everything.What's more, Master has been paying attention to him and comforting him.

Jianghu reached out to touch Xin Yueming's head, and said loudly, "Yueming, your own path cannot be controlled by other people's expectations. Since they can't think of it, then you use your own ability to prove that their original thinking is wrong, isn't it? Isn't it better?"

"But can I really do it?"

Xin Yueming trembled, and the fingers holding the tassel were also trembling.He has no confidence at all, and that's the only thing he can't believe in himself.From childhood to adulthood, the eldest brother stood in front of him like an insurmountable mountain. Everyone praised him and said he was a genius, but every time he did something wrong or failed to meet the expectations of his parents, he would always get a shout. Sigh or be silent.

This is a more embarrassing behavior than punishment and abuse.

In the eyes of his parents and those around him, as the second young master of the Xin family, with an excellent older brother in front, it doesn't matter if he becomes a dude.Because there are parents in front of him, and a big brother behind him to protect him, it doesn't matter if he studies seriously or not.Anyway, the Xin family's future is not counted on him to support it.

Xin Yueming's earliest memory is from a time when he practiced calligraphy half-heartedly.At first, the Xin family didn't expect him to learn martial arts. After all, they had an older brother, so they thought it would be good for their youngest son to study literature and get a good reputation in the future.At that time, he was still young and pampered. He liked to run around, but he had to practice calligraphy every day. He was not willing at all, and the big characters he wrote were like dogs crawling.The father looked at his dog crawling pose with a helpless expression on his face, and in the end he just sighed and said nothing more.

He wondered at the time why his father sighed.He didn't understand, but one day, his elder brother made a few mistakes while practicing sword, and his father was very angry, and almost beat his elder brother.That day he gradually began to understand the difference between him and his elder brother, but he knew that he was not without position and weight in the hearts of his parents, it was just that he had different expectations from his elder brother.

"Yes." Jiang Hu smiled, then returned to seriousness, and said, "But you have to remember, you can't be lazy."

"Oh."

Jiang Hu breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't force Xin Yueming to do anything. After all, he hadn't gone through any ordeals yet, so it was impossible for him to change suddenly.One day, he will understand.

Just hope it's not too late.

"Okay, just remember to practice the sword and vest seriously every day." Jiang Hu raised his chin outside the door and said, "You go out. Remember to call Xiaohan in."

"Ah?" Xin Yueming was about to get up, and said in a daze, "Did Xiaohan do something wrong?"

Rivers and lakes, ",,,"

Why do you think it is punishment for me to call you into the ancestral hall? ? ?Wouldn't it be nice to have a chat in the ancestral hall? ? ?

Jiang Shuihan was as uneasy as Xin Yueming when he first entered the door, sitting in front of Jianghu who closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, he didn't dare to breathe, and it took a long time before he whispered, "Master."

"Hey, you're here." Jiang Hu slowly opened his eyes, saw Jiang Shuihan's serious face and cursed with a smile, "Come on, don't put on such an appearance in front of me, you're not here to be scolded."

When Jiang Hu said this, Jiang Shuihan was a little embarrassed, and gently agreed.

"Xiao Han, I wanted to tell you earlier, but I only have time today." Jiang Hu stared at his most beloved apprentice in front of him, and said with a smile, "Our disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect will all take the name, although it usually takes two Ten can be taken, but I want to help you get one in advance."

"But, little brother."

Jiang Shuihan was taken aback for a moment, Xin Yueming was younger than him, so why did he already have a sign.

As soon as Jianghu mentioned Xin Yueming, he felt helpless, "He. He learned from those literati and celebrities when he was a child, and he got it for himself. His parents didn't care about him, so they let him go."

Jiang Hu just mentioned it casually, but that sentence, his parents didn't care about him, entered Jiang Shuihan's heart.Feeling distressed for no reason, he thought that Xin Yueming was extremely favored at home, but he didn't expect this to be the case.However, with such an excellent big brother, it is normal to have less attention from parents.

It's okay, he will take care of him later.

Before Jiang Shuihan realized why he had such a strange idea, Jianghu said again, "I thought about it, I once said that goodness is like water. There is another word for water in your name, so let's just call it Shanzhi. "

Goodness, sounds pretty good.Jiang Shuihan had no objection, so he nodded in agreement.

Jianghu sighed, "At the beginning I was still thinking about what name to give you, but I didn't expect this kid Yueming to come here, and you agreed again, so I can't change it. Later, I thought about whether to change it, but the name is called I’m used to it and I’m afraid you won’t get used to it, so I just call it that.”

"The apprentice thinks the name is good, there is no need to change it."

Looking at the well-behaved and quiet apprentice in front of him, the rivers and lakes are still a little lost, "The river is cold, and when the water is cold, it will freeze. Ice is also hard. Persistence is a good thing, but too much persistence is not a good thing. "

The eyes he looked at Jiang Shuihan were full of kindness. This apprentice reassured him as much as the boss, but he was even more worried than the boss.

"Since I named you Shanzhi, I hope you can remember the meaning of it." Jiang Hu's expression was solemn, no longer the casual appearance of the past, "Water has various shapes, it can be solid into ice, and it can also be invisible. Air. Although it is not obvious at ordinary times, as a teacher, I found that it is easy for you to imprison yourself, and you cannot take a step on the road that you think is wrong."

"I."

Jianghu interrupted him, and continued, "The patriarch established the Xiaoyao Sect, hoping that the disciples can be free and easy, no matter what you want to do. For example, you Uncle Yuan, he has no big ambitions since he was a child, he just wants to travel all over the world , and finally became an escort. In the eyes of outsiders, people like you Yuan Shishu are just content with the views of a small bird, and are of no help to the sect, but this is the meaning of the existence of the Xiaoyao Sect."

"Xiao Han, have you ever thought about what will happen in the future?"

Jiang Shuihan opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything. He had never thought about the future.

"You haven't even thought about the future, so how can you be sure that the path you're taking now must be the one you want to take? Yueming knows what he wants to do, but he's not as determined as you, and he's a little lazy, but you Woolen cloth?"

"I'm not forcing you to think about what to do in the future now. I just hope that you can move with your heart and not be restrained by yourself, unable to move in place. Do you know why your drifting footwork is not as good as Yueming?" Jiang Hu laughed Laughing, said, "Because he does whatever he wants, is not bound by anything, and is not bound by anything."

"I just want to live a simple life like now with Master, Junior Senior Brother, Senior Senior Brother, and Junior Junior Sister, without worrying about other things."

"Okay." Jiang Hu nodded, "That's not bad." At least having a goal is better than aimlessness.

Happy, because there will always be constraints in life, some things have to be done, the body must be practiced, but the mind is different from the body, as long as one wants, one can be free and unrestrained, even in a narrow courtyard, You can also travel freely.To have a free heart requires not only a firm belief, but also a goal to work hard for.Without a firm belief, it is lazy, without a goal of hard work, it is confusion.

Xin Yueming knows her purpose, but has no firm determination; while Jiang Shuihan has firm determination, but is aimless.Thinking of this, Jianghu felt a headache. His disciples are indeed a bunch of little kids who haven't grown up, and they haven't experienced anything.But he didn't seem to be very good when he was a child. He must have been so helpless when his master taught them.

Coming out of the ancestral hall, Jiang Shuihan walked out in a daze, and happened to meet Xin Yueming waiting for him outside the courtyard gate.Looking from a distance, the tall and straight figure of the young man is leaning on the big tree outside the courtyard, coupled with the setting sun at sunset, it is as beautiful as a painting.

"Xiaohan?" Seeing him, Xin Yueming hurried up to meet him, "Did Master scold you?"

"No." Jiang Shuihan explained, "Master, take the name for me, please be kind."

"Really?" Xin Yueming breathed a sigh of relief, "Let me just say, Master likes you so much, how could he be willing to punish you."

As he spoke, he patted Jiang Shuihan for a moment, and said with a smile, "Not bad. The labor master will take the watch for you, and the senior brother has just taken one. If the junior sister knows, I will definitely give you an extra meal tonight. "

Jiang Shuihan only felt that something was about to come out of his chest, but he didn't understand what it was, "You, why are you waiting for me here?"

"Aren't you worried about you?" Xin Yueming touched the tip of his nose, a little embarrassed, "I thought that because I accidentally smashed someone's things last time, the old man would punish you." The treasure vase was smashed, but Jiang Shuihan, who came to look for him, was hurt for a long time.

"How could Master punish me for this?" Jiang Shuihan shook his head and smiled, "When did you accuse me of your crime?"

Xin Yueming's eyes lit up, she shook her head and said, "No, no. We are senior brothers, so of course we have the blessings and share the hardships, you deserve it."

Jiang Shuihan felt helpless when Xin Yueming could always find some fallacies to prove himself correct, "Oh, I just hope that you won't cause trouble for yourself in the future."

Xin Yueming walked forward, stretched out her arms and shook them, but refused to turn around, leaving Jiang Shuihan with the back of her head, "Thank you, little brother." He didn't think it was enough to cause trouble, so he turned his face and handed you a "know me" Zhi Zhi's eyes, "I like you the most."

He said it casually, but Jiang Shuihan only felt a bang in his head, and suddenly understood everything.

He understands why every time he sees Xin Yueming, he feels a strange feeling, understands why his heart beats faster every time he gets close to Xin Yueming, understands why he feels anxious and worried every time he sees Xin Yueming mentioning it or getting close to Jiang Qianqian.

It's actually very simple, he likes him, that's all.

He should have known.Master is right, he will always imprison himself and not allow himself to take a step on the so-called wrong path, so he will deliberately ignore such things that he cannot control.He didn't even realize until now that he fell in love with Xin Yueming, from the first meeting until now.

The author has something to say:

I found out that I like it so quickly, will the progress be too fast?

In fact, what I am most worried and upset about is the problem of character creation. One is that my lack of words is very serious, so I always fail to write well when describing characters, and the other is my progress. When expressing Jiang Shuihan's gentleness and other characters, I always feel that apart from writing about his gentleness, he doesn't show his gentleness in other places.

I also have a problem with choosing a name,,, a lot of problems.But I have a lot of brain holes, and I want to write it out, alas, my writing ability can't keep up with my ideas~~~

And nagging for a long time,,,
