Siberian wood bone

That day, the master assigned the homework before leaving the house, and left me and the three senior brothers in the mansion.

When the master stepped out of the door, the three senior brothers loosened their hind legs, threw away the pretentious posture just now, and discussed to have fun.

The brothers were in a dispute over how to deal with this hard-won opportunity to sneak in.I sat on the side, listened for a while, and gradually my mind wandered, remembering the bamboo shoots I saw when I passed the bamboo forest behind the yard a few days ago, and suddenly I felt a little greedy.

"Isn't junior brother going with us this time?" the senior brother asked suddenly.

I was stunned, and when I came back to my senses, I shook my head again and again, "Brother, you can just go, I won't go."

I didn't know at the beginning that the fun of the senior brothers was to catch some unusual insects and beasts in the ten caves and eight caves in the back mountain, and I went there once; after a few months, that trip to the back mountain became my favorite. nightmare.It was also after that that I no longer dared to follow them to find some "fun".

The big brother was full of pity.

The second senior brother also had a look of regret, "The little junior brother doesn't like to walk with us these days... But do you think the senior brothers are boring?"

After hearing the words of the second senior brother, the third senior brother also complained half-truthfully, glanced at me, and sighed: "Alas..."

"That's not the case!" I hurriedly interrupted what the third senior brother hadn't said, and then gave an excuse to the senior senior brother and the second senior brother that I wanted to break the bamboo shoots, "The bamboo shoots behind the yard are edible, so I thought about breaking some back." ..."

Before they finished speaking, the expressions of the three senior brothers all changed, and their bitterness and resentment were swept away, and they became happy when they saw it.

"If that's the case, then the senior brothers don't bother the junior brother..." The senior brother smiled softly, "The cooking skills of the junior brother are pretty good, how about this time..."

"That's right, junior brother has business to do, so we can't disturb him!" The second senior brother grabbed the words, "Junior brother, the sweet and sour last time..."

"The two senior brothers are right," the third senior brother approached with a smile, and whispered: "Little junior brother, I don't choose, I can do whatever, but if I can do both, that would be the best!"

……

I seized the opportunity to respond one by one, and ran away in a hurry.

At that time, Master Xu had realized that I had no talent in poisonous Gu, so the requirements on me were not as strict as those on the senior brothers. Most of the time, I just turned a blind eye and closed one eye, so I I can spend more time in different places from my seniors.Even when the master wants to punish them, I can escape at most, at most I will be reprimanded a few times.

I walked a little far, and it was almost noon when I came out of the woods.

I was carrying the bamboo shoots I just broke off to go to the back of the kitchen, but when I passed Master's Gu room, I heard some movement.I couldn't help but stop.

I was about to get closer to check, but saw three senior brothers rushing out from inside.

They saw that they were going to run away, but because they saw me standing at the corner with sharp eyes, they had to turn back in a hurry, and said to me: "little brother, run, master's treasure is dead!"

...what baby?What died?

I was stunned by this turn of events.

The third senior brother was the closest to me, he was going to drag me and run away, but suddenly his expression changed, he couldn't care about me anymore, he turned around and ran away.

"Master is back, hurry—"

I watched the three senior brothers run away and disappeared.

I originally thought that the brothers were so panicked because they were afraid that the master would blame them for being lazy.But I looked back, and I didn't see Master... Then how did they know that Master was back?

"What are you doing here?" Master's voice suddenly sounded from behind.

"!" I was so frightened that I could barely hold the bamboo shoots in my arms.

"Wooden bones?" Master walked around in front of me.

Before I could catch my breath, I saw Master frowned, and dodged into the Gu room beside him.

Not long after, the master came out, holding a delicate box in his hand.

The moment I saw the box, I was suddenly blessed to my heart.

However, there was no time for me to think too much, Master had already walked up to me.

With a "click", the box opened.Master suddenly sneered.

Immediately afterwards, the opened box was displayed in front of my eyes.

I just glanced at it and broke out in a cold sweat——

In that box, Master's precious Gu species was motionless, probably... dead.

"I, I..." I was tongue-tied.

"What are you?" The master lowered his body a little, and immediately got a lot closer to me.

I immediately held my breath, not daring to let out the air.

"What else do you have to say?"

I subconsciously looked around.There were no longer any senior brothers around.

"Do you want to quibble?" Master stared at me closely, "You are the only one here, do you still want to say it's not you?"

"No!..." I was frightened and shook my head in a panic, but didn't dare to say another word.

If it is treated as sophistry, I'm afraid it will make the master even more disgusted... Am I going to be driven away?

The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, and my vision was gradually blurred by tears.

The master was silent for a while, and picked up a piece of white bamboo shoot from my arms, "You just went to pull the bamboo shoot."

I pursed my lips, lowered my face and hugged the bamboo shoots in my arms, and nodded slowly.

After waiting for a while, the master said again: "Then if I punish you to go to the Gu cave to raise new Gu seeds, do you have any complaints?"

Gu cave... I shuddered, but I still responded, "There is no..."

I agreed straightforwardly, but Master's tone was a little strange, as if a little annoyed, "You don't have anything else to say?"

I sniffed, "Master, don't drive me away..."

As soon as the voice fell, my face was lifted.The tears on my cheeks were wiped away, and I saw the annoyance on Master's face, "Why are you crying again... just to scare you, don't cry."

"I said it was you and you admitted it, so I don't know how to say a few words for myself... If the three of them wrong me like this, I'm afraid the sky will be broken."

...It turned out to be a turning point.

I opened my eyes wide, trying to see the master in front of me more clearly, for fear that everything was just my illusion.

"What are you looking at me like that for?" Master wiped away my tears, took the bamboo shoots from my arms, and carried them by himself, "...how did you teach such a stupid person who can't even run, wait for me come back to punish you?"

Seeing that Master was about to go to the back kitchen, I quickly caught up, "Master, I'm coming..."

Master avoided my movements, "Didn't they tell you to run away, you are still dumbfounded."

I was taken aback for a moment, it turned out that Master had just seen it...

However, the master only paused for a moment, then changed his mind, and said: "But they are doing bad things, they dare to instigate you, let's see how I deal with them—"

I suddenly thought of the past when my seniors were punished with pale faces, so I tightened my hands and grabbed the master's cuff.

"Why, you still want to intercede?" Master lowered his head, his eyebrows sharpened.

I suddenly became a little timid.

Master shook his hand.

I sensed that the fabric in my hand was about to slip away, so I quickly grabbed it——

So I heard the master snorted, "Then you go and tell them, go to the Gu cave to pick out new Gu seeds and hand them over to me before dark, and forget about it, but if I am not satisfied, I will go The punishment hall shall be punished."

Afterwards, when the third senior brother mentioned this matter to me again, I realized that at that time, the master had already lenient the net - he only asked them to select new Gu species, and did not impose other punishments. It's an extremely rare thing.

And I still remember what the senior brother said at that time, he said: "It's all thanks to the younger brother."

Thinking about it, it was this day-to-day favoritism that pampered me a little bit, and finally gave me the ambition to take this person as my own.

"What are you thinking, so happy."

When I came back to my senses, Master stood in front of me and asked me with a smile.

"Thinking..." I stopped and shook my head slightly.

What I was thinking just now can't be said to the master in front of me, so I just keep it in my heart for me to miss.

knock --

There was a knock on the door.

I look back with Master.

Ning Fei opened the door, and Ji Chuancheng appeared outside the door, and said to us with a smile: "Today is a beautiful day, do you two want to take advantage of this fine day to take a look at the beautiful scenery of Liancheng?"
