I lost my brother

Sui Jian has been a beggar for as long as he can remember. He has been walking behind the old beggar for a long time. When he was walking around the streets begging with a small broken bowl in his hand, he once saw a hawker selling candied haws .

The plump red fruits are put on a bunch of six or seven, wrapped in a layer of glittering sugar coating, and inserted all over the sticks made of straw, flickering in the winter sun, crystal clear and very attractive.

A woman passed by with a child in her arms. The child was babbling and coquettishly wanting to eat candied haws. The woman smiled gently and took out a few pennies, and the peddler picked out the biggest bunch and handed it to him.

The child's saliva was all over the candied haws, and the woman just gently wiped his mouth, then picked him up and left.

Sui Jian watched them slowly disappear from sight with envy, and turned her head to look expectantly at the old beggar lying on the ground basking in the sun.

With a weed in his mouth, the old beggar gave him a sideways glance, raised his hand and shook the empty rice bowl, signaling to him that if he wanted to eat, he would ask for money to buy it.

So Sui Jian stopped looking at him, and concentrated on selling misery to beg for money. He couldn't tell whether he was more disappointed in not eating candied haws, or more disappointed in not getting the comfort he wanted.

Later, the old beggar died, and he was taken back to the Wuwangzong by Xie Hanzi before he felt much realism. He ate and clothed himself warmly every day, but he was always worrying about gains and losses, until Xie Hanzi touched his head one day and told him that he was very sad. Great, makes him a little more confident.

He seems to have seen the mother and son who bought candied haws that day again, but this time someone handed him a bunch of candied haws, maybe not the biggest one, but it must be the sweetest one, the man with a vague face smiled at him Say, eat slowly.

Sui Jian was hot all over, he felt very uncomfortable, the clothes he was wearing seemed to be soaked in sweat, he couldn't wake up by himself, he just had sweet dreams of candied haws over and over again.

It seems that someone is calling him, no, don't call him yet, he doesn't want to wake up yet, let him sleep for a while.

Xie Hanzi frowned and looked at Sui Jian who was lying on the bed sweating profusely, knowing that he was insane due to his eagerness for success but not the point.Pang Ye put one hand on Sui Jian's wrist, glanced at him and said, "The situation of your little apprentice is not very good."

Xie Hanzi motioned for him to continue, and Pang Ye tapped his finger on the wooden board twice, as if thinking, "He must practice more than the three exercises you and I mentioned, at least four or five different qi are chaotic in his body. If there is no one to help him clear the meridians in time, he will be useless."

"Brother, it is not an easy task to help people unblock the meridians, and there should be no interruption in the middle."

"I see." Xie Hanzi said in a hoarse voice, he felt distressed seeing Sui Jian forcing himself like this, "When can we start?"

"I prescribed a side drug for him, and he can start after drinking it."

While talking, someone came in with a bowl of pitch-black medicinal juice, and the person said to Pang Ye: "Master, the medicinal juice is ready."

Pang Ye took it and lowered his head to pour medicine into Sui Jian, but Xie Hanzi intercepted the medicine bowl on the way, without raising his head, he said, "Let me do it."

"You come, you come, really, who doesn't have an apprentice?" Pang Ye rolled his eyes at him, got up to get out of the way, turned around and beckoned lovingly to Zhou Yuanzheng who was standing by, "Hey boy, come to Master .”

Zhou Yuanzheng walked over with a blank expression.

He watched Xie Hanzi nervously help the pale and thin young man on the bed, and carefully fed him the medicine, for fear that he would accidentally choke on him, he was puzzled, and secretly thought that even a person as thorough as Xie Hanzi, sometimes has bad eyesight After so many years of picking and choosing, in the end, he accepted such an uneasy apprentice.

Xie Hanzi could imagine how bad the concoction was just by looking at its dark color, but Sui Jian didn't pick it up. How uncomfortable.

Xie Hanzi put down the medicine bowl and said to Pang Ye: "Then I will have Brother Lao to protect me."

Pang Ye said happily: "Brother, you are welcome." After saying that, he led Zhou Yuanzheng out of the house, and closed the door by the way.

He skillfully found the place where Xie Hanzi hid tea leaves on weekdays, made himself a pot of tea, sat very leisurely on the stone bench under the old locust tree, and said to Zhou Yuanzheng: "Come here, boy, let me have some tea with you." , This is the Yuqian Dragon Well that your Uncle Xie kept privately, let's drink more for him."

Zhou Yuanzheng walked over, picked up the teacup, didn't drink it, just looked at Pang Ye like that.

Pang Ye got used to his silence, took a sip of tea, and sighed, "Do you have any questions?"

Zhou Yuanzheng's thin eyelids were half-drooped, and his hand holding the teacup was placed on his knee, "I thought that someone like Uncle Xie would choose a better apprentice in the end, at least he wouldn't cause trouble for him."

Pang Ye smashed his mouth, and said with a smile: "What kind of person are you, Mr. Xie, why do you call it troublesome?"

His apprentice has always been too serious, rarely talked to him, and finally asked him something, but it was for others, Pang Ye couldn't help feeling a little bit embarrassed.

"Uncle Xie," Zhou Yuanzheng thought, "he is an extremely smart man, with great martial arts skills but knows how to hide his secrets. He is unrestrained and fearless. He feels a little indifferent. He should be afraid of trouble."

"As for that Sui Jian, he is stupid and overestimated. He is a troublesome person."

After hearing this, Pang Ye refilled his cup of tea, blew away the heat gently, and squinted his eyes to enjoy the tea fragrance, "You are still far away."

Zhou Yuanzheng was puzzled, Pang Ye pinched his serious face, Zhou Yuanzheng let him pinch his face with tea-scented fingers without moving.

Pang Yeyu said earnestly: "First of all, it is true that Uncle Xie is a troublesome person, but he is not indifferent, he is just used to being free and undisciplined, and no one asked him to stop and take responsibility."

"At the beginning, my master Changqing's favorite was you Uncle Xie, and he even intended to pass on the position of Master Wuwangzong to you Uncle Xie, but he refused. He said that it was reasonable for you to succeed Uncle Wang. , he is afraid that your Uncle Wang will be hurt. He seems to be in a hurry, but he is actually careful."

"Now that Uncle Xie took in an apprentice with great difficulty, I am happy for him. Don't look at him looking helpless, but you are happy in your heart. There is someone who makes him worry about and annoys him. Didn't you notice?"

"what?"

"Thank you uncle, you are starting to look like a person more and more."

Pang Ye sipped his tea, he was born with a baby face, which made people feel close to him.

"I always thought that he didn't belong to the mortal world. If you gave him a fire, he would be able to fly to the sky with the smoke rising from the clouds and fog. Now he's all right. The immortal has a concern, and he is reluctant to return to the sky. Everyone is happy."

Zhou Yuanzheng was speechless at his master's description, "So I have to thank that Sui Jian?"

Pang Ye didn't answer, but said instead: "Don't keep yourself locked in the room to study medicine. Studying medicine is a lifetime thing. You should go out and make more friends. I think Sui Jian is a good kid. Would you like How about trying to get to know someone else?"

Zhou Yuanzheng picked up the teacup and drank the already cold tea in one gulp, and said expressionlessly, "Thank you for your kindness."

Pang Ye just smiled, leaving the young man's affairs to the young man himself, he can't control it.

After another two hours, Pang Ye drank three pots of tea, and Xie Hanzi finally came out.

His face was quite pale, and even though his skills were profound, it would still affect him after finishing such troublesome tasks as dredging the meridians of others.

Seeing that his expression was finally no longer tense, Pang Ye asked casually, "Are you ready?"

"Much better, thank you today."

"Hey, why are you being polite between brothers and sisters?" He changed his mind, "Your little apprentice is so eager for success, is he planning to participate in next year's martial arts conference?"

Xie Hanzi pondered: "I didn't mean that, and I didn't tell him about it. He is still young, maybe he has some talent, and he can't go to the martial arts conference right away, he might be hit."

"I don't think it's a bad idea to let him go out to practice," Pang Ye said, "Your apprentice may not be so fragile. Don't cover him too tightly. It's good to let him go out on his own."

Xie Hanzi disagreed, but he was not in a hurry to refute.In his eyes, Sui Jian was still a child, and he didn't feel that his behavior was "covering" him, and he didn't even consider that when he was his age, he could already win the first place in the martial arts competition.

Sui Jian ate a lot of candied gourds in her dream, and her body felt more relaxed and comfortable than ever before.

He opened his eyes in a daze. It seemed that it was already dark, and the room was lit with lights.His eyes rolled slowly, and he saw Guan Yuxiao watching over his bed bit by bit, as if he had been guarding him for a long time.

Sui Jian got up gently, and Guan Yuxiao woke up when he moved. Seeing that Sui Jian was able to get up, she shouted in surprise: "Senior brother finally woke up—"

Sui Jian let out a "puchi" laugh, "Why are you crying when I wake up?" She said and reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of the junior brother's eyes.

"It's all my fault. Telling senior brother about the martial arts conference caused you to go crazy after practicing kung fu. If it wasn't for Master to help you unblock your meridians in time, you wouldn't be able to wake up."

Sui Jian saw him sobbing and choking, and felt that she woke up at the wrong time, obviously she was the one who was in pain, and she had to comfort him instead.

"Don't cry, I am eager for success, and it has nothing to do with you."

"Brother, don't you blame me?" Guan Yuxiao's red eyes from crying reminded Sui Jian of the little rabbit, and he teased, "No, if you cry again, I'll feed you carrots."

Guan Yuxiao burst into laughter, Xie Hanzi opened the door and walked in while the two were talking and laughing. Seeing that Sui Jian had woken up, he said with relief, "How do you feel?"

"Master!" Two surprised voices came out at the same time, Xie Hanzi walked to the bedside, patted Guan Yuxiao's head, and looked at Sui Jian gently.

"I don't know why, I feel like I have a serious illness, but I feel very comfortable and very relaxed."

"That's good. From now on, you are not allowed to mess around. Martial arts cannot be accomplished overnight. Master does not require you to become peerless masters. As long as you are all safe and happy, you will be content."

Sui Jian nodded in agreement, but she was more determined in her heart to practice martial arts well. His master is so good, so he must work hard to become an apprentice worthy of his master.

Xie Hanzi hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Does Xiao Jian want to participate in the martial arts conference?"

Sui Jian's small thoughts were broken, her face was slightly red, and she nodded embarrassingly.

Xie Hanzi didn't want him to go to the martial arts conference too early, but after Pang Ye said it, he thought about it after he went back, and compromised: "Go if you want to go, it's better to go out early to see the world."

"That's great, brother." Guan Yuxiao blushed, as if she was even happier than him.Sui Jian patted his head amusedly.

Anshentang.

Song Xiaoping said with a straight face: "I don't accept disciples of the Devil's Cult as disciples."

Zhu Lin knelt and did not speak. In order to learn martial arts from Song Xiaoling, he had knelt for a long time.But he also didn't want to abandon his other identity for it.

Song Xiaoling stood up, bypassed Zhu Lin and went out the door.

Zhu Lin's temper has always been very stubborn, and he would rather bend than bend when he came to Wuwangzong.Zuo is just kneeling, he has no other strengths, and his endurance is longer than that of ordinary people. If Song Xiaolin doesn't teach himself martial arts, he will be no different from a useless person in Wuwangzong. Even if he returns to Candle Dragon Sect in the future, he will still be a useless person.

He remembered what Sui Jian had said to him, that if he wanted to live a better life for himself, he could just keep some things in his heart and know for himself.

Zhu Lin smiled wryly, he couldn't do it.

Thinking of that person, Zhu Lin, warms my heart, and I haven't seen him for a while, so I wonder if he is also practicing hard.

After a stick of incense, Song Xiaoping came back, with anger hidden on his face, Zhu Lin was not afraid of breaking the jar, and kept his kneeling posture motionless.

"Okay, okay, okay." Song Xiaoling gritted his teeth and said, "I can teach you, but since you don't want to give up your identity as a demon cult, you can't call me my apprentice to the outside world. Ugly words, my requirements are very strict. If you want to learn martial arts from me, you can’t be afraid of suffering, and once I hear you complain, you don’t have to appear in front of me again. Do you understand?”

After kneeling for a long time, Zhu Lin's bones became stiff. He kowtowed slowly to Song Xiaolin, and said steadily, "Yes, thank you, Elder Song."

Song Xiaoling snorted coldly, walked around him again and walked out.

The corners of Zhu Lin's stiff mouth slowly raised some arcs, and whispered: "Brother, I have a master."

Zhu Lin said silently in his heart over and over again, "Brother."

The author has something to say:

Song Xiaoling walked out of the Anshen Hall and murmured to the corner: Ah, what should I do, such a cute child wants to worship me as a teacher, worship me as a teacher ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

That's right, Song Xiaoling is a cute control (serious face)

Seriousness is all pretending, there is no way (serious face)
