I lost my brother

After Sui Jian recuperated for two days, she began to feel restless again.

He himself likes to be active but not quiet. Since he learned martial arts, his symptoms of hyperactivity have worsened.

That day he got out of bed to look for Tang Yishu and Jiang Yang, and when he heard that they were going down the mountain to buy something in Chengyun City, he followed them shamelessly.

Tang Yishu didn't say anything, Jiang Yang said with disgust on his face: "It's only a few days before you come out to show off in the market, I think you just care about eating but not beating."

Sui Jian was used to his inconsistencies, knowing that he was caring about herself in disguise, so she smiled and didn't reply.

Jiang Yang was shocked instead, "Did you lose your soul because of an illness?"

Sui Jian: "..."

"Senior brother Jiang, so you like me to fight against you so much, so tell me earlier. By the way, brother, how did you get the 'Kneeling on the Flower Pot Kungfu'?"

Jiang Yang kicked him from behind, Tang Yishu asked curiously: "What kind of skill is that? The name is unique."

Sui Jian patted the footprints on the trouser legs indifferently and said, "Senior Brother Tang, let me tell you, Senior Brother Jiang..."

Jiang Yang hurriedly covered his mouth with one hand, pressed his head and beat him up: "Shut up!"

The three of them walked down the stone ladder lively and lively. Unknown birds chirped occasionally in the forest on both sides of the stone ladder, and squirrels jumped up to the trees to look at them curiously.On the way down the mountain, laughter continued, and we reached the foot of the mountain in the blink of an eye.

When they arrived in Chengyun City, the Sui Jian Jian felt as if it had been a lifetime away.

Chengyun City is located in the bustling area in the center of Yuanwu Kingdom, there is a lot of people coming and going, and there are everything sold in the city.Fruits and vegetables, snacks, Wenwan, jewelry, cloth, and all kinds of weird gadgets.There were shouts all over the street one after another, everyone had smiles on their faces, and it was very lively.

He usually doesn't feel much on the mountain, but once he enters the city, he is like a savage in the mountain surrounded by crowds, a little nervous and at a loss, but also a little fresh and exciting.

Tang Yishu and Jiang Yang both looked familiar, Sui Jian asked curiously: "Is Chengyun City usually so lively?"

Jiang Yang laughed at him: "I think you are stupid on the mountain."

Tang Yishu explained gently: "Sui Jian, Chinese New Year is coming soon."

Sui Jian's mouth opened slightly.

He practices diligently every day, and has no idea of ​​the passage of time.Seeing the joy on the faces of the people on the street, Sui Jian just felt that he didn't belong here. He began to regret going down the mountain, and his whole body became extremely stiff and at a loss.

Tang Yishu noticed his abnormality at the first time, thinking about his past, he probably understood why he felt unnatural.He used to take care of other people's feelings, and suggested casually, "Do you want to eat something first?"

Jiang Yang put his hand on Sui Jian's shoulder carelessly, "Well, I went out before I had time to eat in the morning, and I'm starving to death."

After finishing speaking, he grabbed Tang Yishu with one hand and Sui Jian with the other, and walked to the small restaurant he used to frequent, and said as he walked, "Let me tell you, his pig's feet noodles are the best, and I don't take them with me for most people. .”

Sui Jian was attracted by him, subconsciously looked at Tang Yishu, saw that Tang Yishu was also smiling at him gently, then really relaxed, and responded casually: "Okay, but I don't have money, you treat me."

Jiang Yang snorted: "You still need to pay for coming out with senior brother?"

For the next day, Jiang Yang regretted the words he said so quickly.

Sui Jian really didn't know what it meant to be "polite", and wanted anything delicious and fun when he saw it, Jiang Yang paid for it with a heartbroken face, Sui Jian exaggerated: "Senior brother really keeps his word, he is really a man who keeps his word, Brother, I thank you brother!"

Jiang Yangpi smiled bluntly: "You're welcome."

"Brother, I still want to eat candied haws."

"..."

Tang Yishu followed behind and suppressed his stomachache from laughing.

It was already evening when the three of them bought things and returned to Wuwangzong. Sui Jian held three candied haws in his hand, and went back to Qingfengju to give one to each of his master and junior.

Xie Hanzi looked at the candied haws wrapped in sugar crystals in his hand, then at the expectant little face of his big apprentice, slowly opened his mouth to bite off half of the red fruit, and commented with an awkward expression: "Not bad."

Sui Jian seemed to have received some great praise, and turned and ran away excitedly.

Xie Hanzi watched him run away amusedly, worried about the remaining candied haws in his hand, he didn't like these sweet and greasy foods, and he couldn't bear to repay his apprentice's kindness, he didn't mind throwing away more than half of the candied haws I can't even eat, I really don't know what to do.

A shy voice sounded: "If Master doesn't want to eat, can you give it to me?"

Xie Hanzi lowered his head, Guan Yuxiao looked up at him with a small face, only a small half of the candied haws in his hand was left.Xie Hanzi happily handed the candied haws to the little apprentice, as if he had caused some trouble, then he patted his head habitually, and walked slowly back into the room.

Guan Yuxiao held the candied haws with a small bite off like a baby, took out the rice paper hidden in his arms for practicing calligraphy, and wrapped it carefully.

Sui Jian went to Anshentang to look for Zhu Lin. He was always concerned about the lonely and stubborn child, but he didn't dare to go in when he reached the door. After all, Anshentang was Song Xiaoling's site. Jane felt uncomfortable.

While hesitating, Song Xiaoling opened the door, saw him, and frowned slightly, "What are you doing here?"

Sui Jian subconsciously straightened her back and replied loudly, "Come to Zhu Lin."

Song Xiaoling's face paled slightly, and he said stiffly: "He's not here." Then he wanted to close the door.

Sui Jian hurriedly asked: "Uncle Song, can you tell me where he is?"

Song Xiaoling stopped his movements, and said in an impatient tone, "Go to the back mountain to have a look." After saying that, he closed the door with a "snap", as if he didn't want to say another word.

Sui Jian shrugged, looked at the already dark sky, and decided to go to the back mountain for a walk.

He has been practicing swordsmanship and lightness kung fu some time ago, which are the few books Xie Hanzi found for him. The swordsmanship is still good, but the lightness kung fu is not very important. It is easy to fall from mid-air when it is halfway through.

Xie Hanzi told him that there is no rush to learn light work, he can only find the feeling and learn to control it by himself.

Now he was looking at the darkening sky, worried about the danger of Zhu Lin being alone, and wanted to find him quickly, he took a breath, he suddenly grasped a sense of lightness, his footsteps did not stop, his toes touched the ground, In one breath, he jumped onto a tall poplar tree next to him.

Sui Jian was taken aback by herself, patted her chest, supported the tree trunk with one hand, and looked carefully at the ground, unable to believe that she actually flew up.

He felt that his body seemed to be a little different from before, as if it was lighter.Recalling that Guan Yuxiao had said to him after waking up that day: "If Master hadn't dredged your meridians in time..." He immediately experienced the miraculous changes after the meridians were dredged, and felt joy in his heart.

Comparing the feeling of jumping up the tree before, Sui Jian raised his breath and flew towards the big tree not far ahead.

He shuttled back and forth among the tall trees like a nimble monkey, looking for Zhu Lin with his eyes.After a while, he really found him. Zhu Lin was meditating in a higher place.

Sui Jian landed lightly and didn't bother him. He had gone into a rut before, and he was afraid that if Zhu Lin was disturbed, he would behave like he did before.

Zhu Lin felt that there were people around him, and after a short circle of luck, he opened his eyes.He squinted his eyes to identify the person coming in the night, and when he heard a chuckle, he curled the corner of his mouth and called out: "Senior brother."

Sui Jian walked over and sat down. The place was brighter than where he was standing, and the moonlight just fell on it. He took out the last candied haws and said in a bragging tone, "Look at what brother brought you."

Zhu Lin took it, looked up at Sui Jian, and said in disbelief, "Brother came here to give me this?"

"Yes."

"Brother...why are you so nice to me?"

Sui Jian laughed and said, "Is this what you call being nice to you? You are really easy to be satisfied."

Zhu Lin didn't say a word, and lowered his head to bite off a candied haws. It was a bit cold, sour and sweet, so sweet that his heart felt sour and swollen.

Sui Jian looked around and said, "It's you, what are you doing here at night?"

Zhu Lin swallowed the candied haws before saying, "I've been here for two days."

"Two days? By yourself?" Sui Jian said in surprise, "I'm not afraid that the beasts in the mountains will take you away."

Zhu Lin explained: "I couldn't meditate and study my inner strength in a place where there were people, so I had to find such a secluded place to meditate. The effect was very good, and I didn't see any beasts."

Sui Jian said distressedly: "It's really hard to meditate on Uncle Song, it's hard for you."

"...Actually, it has nothing to do with Elder Song."

With Sui Jian's expression that I understand without explaining, Zhu Lin reluctantly bit off a hawthorn and stopped talking.

Sui Jian lay down on her back, and was shocked by the huge boulder under her body. She grinned and said, "Do you want to participate in the martial arts conference?"

Zhu Lin shook his head lightly. He had heard of the martial arts conference before, but he was not interested in it. "It's just to become stronger."

Sui Jian closed her eyes, raised the corners of her mouth and said, "Don't push yourself too hard, a child should act like a child."

Because of his many experiences, his xinxing is no longer like a normal 13-year-old child, so when he faces really young children like Zhu Lin and Guan Yuxiao, he always unconsciously substitutes himself into the role of an adult. I don't know that Zhu Lin has experienced the same things at a young age, but he is no less than him.

The gap between Zhu Lin in his eyes and the real Zhu Lin is much greater.

Zhu Lin didn't respond to his sentence, but asked instead: "Brother, are you going to participate in the martial arts conference?"

Sui Jian didn't speak, Zhu Lin leaned over and took a look, he was breathing evenly, and he had fallen asleep defenselessly.

Zhu Lin carefully looked at his peaceful sleeping face, and reached out to touch his cheek, wondering if this person's face was as soft as it was for him.

The fingers finally stopped at a distance from Sui Jian's cheek.

Sui Jian has a very clever face, she likes to smile on weekdays, and she seems to be able to come up with countless bad ideas just by turning her eyes.Now his eyes are closed, and there is no eye-catching smile at the corner of his mouth. Just looking at this face, he seems to be a good and quiet boy, which is very deceptive.

Zhu Lin painted the young man's unopened eyebrows from the air. He just said that he is easy to be satisfied, but he doesn't know that no one in this world has ever wanted him to be satisfied.

He is not the child of any elder of the Demon Sect. His father died before he was born. Let him start practicing martial arts while walking.

His mother with a beautiful skin was like a walking corpse, she always liked to touch his face, and said repeatedly: "You will become a peerless master, and you will avenge your father in the future."

Later, his mother also died, and he was coaxed by the Right Protector to come to Wuwangzong. He thought that he would just muddle along in such a dark world, but he didn't expect that God would take pity on him and send him such a person.

This person will laugh at him unpreparedly, will reason with him, tell him to live a good life, will miraculously fall from the sky when he can't hold on, and will go down the mountain to bring himself... candied haws.

The candied haws are so sweet, Zhu Lin licked the corner of his mouth, and an almost coquettish smile appeared on his pretty face.

Sui Jian fell asleep unconsciously, Zhu Lin took off his coat and covered him, stared at his sleeping face and ate the remaining candied haws one bite at a time.

He raised his head to identify the time by the position of the moon in the sky, and meditated for a while until Zi Shi, then touched Sui Jian's sleeping point, carried him on his back, and left the place where many of his secrets were hidden.

The next day.

Sui Jian opened her eyes in a daze, looked at the familiar bed curtain in front of her, and asked doubtfully, "Strange, how did I come back?"

He stretched his waist and walked out the door. The master and younger brothers in the yard were up. The master was still sitting on the stone bench warming the wine and drinking. Master has had a hard time finding you."

Sui Jian obediently apologized, "Probably because I'm tired from walking too much during the day, Master, I'm sorry, I will pay attention next time."

Xie Hanzi shook his head to indicate that it was okay, "Thanks to Zhu Lin for carrying you back, otherwise you would have been frozen in the back mountain."

Sui Jian was surprised: "Zhu Lin carried me back? Just his small body?"

Guan Yuxiao smiled and said, "Brother doesn't even look at how many catties or ounces of meat I have on my body."

Sui Jian frowned, looked at her little arms and legs with some regret, and secretly made up her mind to practice as soon as possible, to develop a strong physique.

The author has something to say:

Zhu Lin: Senior brother is not sinking, even if senior brother is a head taller than me now.

Really not...well it's still a bit heavy.

In the future, I must grow taller than my senior brother!
