Heavenly practice

Xiao Xiaoqi said it bluntly, and Xiao Que responded bluntly, Xiao Xiaoqi didn't mention it until midnight when the two climbed into bed.

"What about your family?"

"They were all dead, they were killed, only I escaped."

"..."

Xiao Xiaoqi turned over to face him, and said softly, "Then we two should be a family."

Xiao Que turned his head to look at him, his dark eyes were like glass in the night, "Yes."

Xiao Xiaoqi smiled, leaned over and hugged him, "warm me up."

"Your body is too hot."

"Then I'll warm you up."

"I'm not cold."

"You're welcome, the older brother should take care of the younger brother."

"I am older than you."

"I am ten years old."

"I'm eleven."

"...Then what, in fact, there is no need to divide the size of the family."

"..."

The two of them just hugged each other and slept all night. In the middle of the night, the cold wind came out from the hole in the broken window. Xiao Xiaoqi frowned from the cold, and finally took off his trousers and stuffed them in to block it.

In the early morning of the second day, he told Xiao Que to go to the mountain to cut firewood and exchange herbal medicine for him, and let him lie down at home. Xiao Que agreed, but as soon as Xiao Xiaoqi left, he sat up covering his wound.

When Xiao Xiaoqi came back, he found that the hole in the window had been mended by him with wooden strips.

"You said you..."

Xiao Xiaoqi threw down the ax and sat on the edge of the bed to stare at him, "This herbal medicine is precious, half a load of firewood, if you don't take good care of it, I don't have the strength to change your medicine."

"It's okay, I'm getting better soon." Xiao Que said.

"Who are you fooling, you were injured so badly yesterday, and you will be healed today?"

As Xiao Wuya said, he went up to look at his wound, he was relieved when he found that it wasn't open, and took out two bright red fruits from his bosom, "This is for you to eat."

Xiao Que lowered his head and picked up a fruit and stuffed it into his mouth. After tasting the sweetness, he picked up another fruit and put it in Xiao Xiaoqi's mouth.

Xiao Xiaoqi ate it with a smile, and turned around to roast the rabbit he called today.

The days passed quickly, Xiao Que's injury was almost healed, and everyone in the village knew that Xiao Qi, an orphan in the village, had a picked-up older brother, who was quite handsome, and the little girl's family often went to see him.

Xiao Xiaoqi felt uncomfortable looking at the little girl wandering around outside her house, and turned her head to wink at the water tank.

Xiao Que put down the firewood on his back and walked over, asking him, "What are you doing?"

"look."

Xiao Xiaoqi pointed to the reflection in the water, "Isn't it pretty?"

Xiao Que looked at the reflection in the water, he was eleven or twelve years old, his eyes were slightly raised like phoenix eyes, but because of his thin body, he looked a bit like a little girl, "Pretty looking."

"Then why don't those little girls like me?"

Xiao Xiaoqi was dissatisfied with another reflection in the water, thinking that this kid is stronger than him, how can he look better than him?

"They don't know beautiful jade."

Xiao Que paused and said, "I just need to know."

Xiao Xiaoqi felt much more comfortable after hearing this, and rubbed Xiao Que's arm with a playful smile, "Then will you play with them in the future?"

"will not."

Xiao Que lowered his head to meet his longing eyes, and smiled, "They are not my family."

"exactly."

Xiao Xiaoqi smiled heartily, and leaned all over him, "We are a family, Xiaoque..."

"Ok?"

"Since we are a family, we should have the same surname... right?"

Xiao Que's eyes moved slightly, "What do you want to say?"

Xiao Xiaoqi's head almost nestled into his arms, his voice was like a mosquito, "I don't have a surname yet..."

Xiao Que didn't speak.

Xiao Xiaoqi groaned for a long time, then raised her head and looked at him flatteringly, "Xiao Que, from now on I...have the same surname as yours, Ke Ke?"

"Okay." Xiao Que replied without hesitation.

Xiao Xiaoqi's eyes widened, and she said in surprise, "Really?!"

"real."

"Hahaha! Then my surname will be Xiao from now on! Xiao Xiaoqi! Xiao Qi? Why does it sound similar to Xiao Qi?"

"They all sound good."

Xiao Que rubbed the soft hair on his head, "It's also pretty."

Later, for some reason, those little girls who came to the door of the house didn't come again, and Xiao Xiaoqi didn't care, until one day the crippled grandpa came to the door.

"Cultivation?" Xiao Xiaoqi looked bewildered.

"Cultivating immortals, you can live forever, you can ascend, and you can surpass all living beings."

Xiao Que took a charcoal stick and wrote the word Xiuxian on the ground, then handed the charcoal stick to Xiao Xiaoqi, "Write."

These days Xiao Que has been teaching him how to read and write, Xiao Xiaoqi has also gotten used to it, and started to learn to write after receiving the charcoal stick, "What are you doing with Eternal Ascension?"

"People in the world always feel that their lives are short and hard, but cultivating immortals can live long and live high."

"What do you do with such a long life? You can live a better life by being high above you?"

"No."

Xiao Que circled his misspelled words, "But you can protect yourself and the people around you."

Xiao Xiaoqi blinked and looked at him fixedly, "Do you want to cultivate immortality?"

"..."

Xiao Que stopped, looked at the writing on the ground and didn't speak.

"You must want revenge, I know, you said before that your family was killed."

Xiao Xiaoqi took the charcoal stick in his hand and re-wrote the character of immortal, "Since you want to cultivate immortality, I will accompany you."

Xiao Que stared at him blankly, and bent the corners of his mouth for a long time, "Okay, let's go together."

The cripple grandpa said that the person who came to cultivate immortals was a small sect under the territory of Da Xia, named Qinggang sect, and it happened that the disciples came to Moon Village in the early spring, so Xiao Que and Xiao Xiaoqi rushed there The village chief's family looked for the immortal cultivator.

The cultivator who came was only building a foundation, but he was enough to make everyone call him a fairy. The other party immediately took a fancy to the aptitude of the two children and wanted to take them away.

Before leaving, the monk asked the two to say goodbye to the villagers, Xiao Xiaoqi said no, he would be back in a few days.

The monk chuckled and said that you will not come back.

Xiao Xiaoqi was startled, and asked, are you still detaining people from going home?

The monk shook his head and said, "Cultivation has no time, ordinary people only have a few decades, but monks can meditate for ten years, and retreat for hundreds of thousands of years. How can the people in this village wait for you to come back?"

Xiao Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment, he looked back at the village chief, at the crippled grandpa, then at his broken thatched hut, and the old man's tomb behind the house, suddenly fell silent.

Xiao Que couldn't bear it, he opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't know what to say, so he just pursed his lips and looked at him.

Xiao Xiaoqi was silent for a moment, then kowtowed in the direction of the grave, and kowtowed to everyone in the village, then got up and smiled at the monk, "Okay."

Xiao Que looked at him in surprise.

The monk asked him, "Is that all right?"

"All right."

Xiao Xiaoqi nodded, "The people in the village have taken care of me, but I have to go."

"For cultivating immortals?" the man asked.

"of course not!"

Xiao Xiaoqi grabbed Xiao Que's hand, "It's for him."

The monk looked at the two in surprise, then smiled, waved his flying sword and stepped up.

"Let's go!"

Everyone immediately cried out in surprise and knelt down.

Xiao Xiaoqi grabbed Xiao Ke and stood up. Looking back, Xiao Que was still staring at him blankly, and couldn't help smiling.

"Still stupid?"

"You...why are you..."

Xiao Xiaoqi tightly clenched his hand, "Actually, you don't have to—"

"Why not?"

Xiao Xiaoqi interrupted him, leaned close to his face and smiled, "You, you don't even know what it was like to look at me just now."

Xiao Que was startled, "What kind?"

"Baba, I'm afraid I won't be able to talk."

Xiao Xiaoqi bumped him with his forehead, and smiled, "Don't worry, since I promised to be with you, I won't abandon you."

Xiao Que looked at him fixedly, "...Really?"

"Really, unless my surname is no longer Xiao." Xiao Xiaoqi smiled.
