Above the stars

Sunshine Welfare Home.

Bai Wuxin came back with ten kilograms of chestnuts, handed them to the little wolf who was playing with the children in the yard, and said, "Take them and share them."

"Thank you, Brother Wuxin." Xiaolang sniffed and inhaled the aroma of chestnuts into his lungs. Bowing slightly to the boy in white, he reached out and took the bag of chestnuts.

"Brother Wuxin, the dean said that he saw you coming back and wanted to tell you and asked you to come to her office."

Bai Wuxin nodded and walked towards the backyard expressionlessly.

Behind me came the laughter of children scrambling for chestnuts.

Bai Wuxin walked through the corridor and came to the backyard, which was the living area for the staff and dean of the welfare home.

Bai Wuxin walked straight to the northeast corner, because it was too remote, and the buildings next to it were much higher than here, so it was difficult for the sun to shine through. It had been in a dark, damp and cold environment for many years, and it looked mysterious and scary. terror.

In addition, there was an old lady with a withdrawn personality living in the house, and the children in the orphanage laughed and called it a "haunted house."

Bai Wuxin stood at the door of the haunted house and knocked on the door. The thick door panel made a dull sound.

Nowadays, technology has developed enough. Door panels of various materials and advanced door locks are emerging one after another. However, the orphanage has always maintained its most original and ancient appearance.

This door panel is made of blood-like wood from Xinxing. Even after decades of wind, rain and time erosion, the color of the wood is still as red as blood.

"Come in." A hoarse female voice came from inside.

Bai Wuxin pushed the door open, looked at the old lady sitting at the desk writing something, and said, "Dean, are you looking for me?"

The old lady was short and skinny. Sitting in front of that large table, he seemed a little out of place, as if most of his body was about to be swallowed up by the chair.

She dropped the pen in her hand, picked up the big cigar in the cigar jar next to her and took a long puff. After she exhaled the smoke bit by bit, she looked at Bai Wuxin and said, "How's it going? Are things going well?"

"He's injured, he can be caught." Bai Wuxin said aloud, not willing to describe the mission situation too much.

He doesn't like to talk, let alone talk nonsense.

"It's a good thing to be injured." The old lady said aloud: "This is not a martial arts competition. The more seriously injured he is, the better. It is best if he only has one breath left. It doesn't matter whether the cat is white or black, as long as it catches mice, it is a good cat."

"I know." Bai Wuxin responded calmly.

"Have you seen him?" The old lady looked at Bai Wuxin and asked, "That young man?"

"I've seen it before," Bai Wuxin said.

"Huh? Lu Yu introduced you to each other?"

"no."

"Then how did you see it?"

"When buying chestnuts."

"Oh." The old lady nodded. She knew that every time Bai Wuxin came back from a mission, he would bring some snacks to the children in the orphanage. "What do you think of him?"

Bai Wuxin remained silent.

The old lady looked at Bai Wuxin with a puzzled expression and asked, "Is this young man so unfathomable that even you can't evaluate him?"

".no."

"what is that?"

"."

"What? I don't know how to describe it?"

"Unspeakable."

"."

The old lady jumped down from the tall oak chair, walked around the room, and said, "It doesn't make sense. The person Lu Yu can like should be no different."

Bai Wuxin looked at the old man and asked, "Dean, do we really want to put our hope in him?"

"No, it's on you." The old lady said loudly: "We have no other choice. We had completely lost hope, but Lu Yu came back, and he said there was still a flame. As long as the flame is not destroyed If people are extinguished, we still have a chance.”

"Otherwise, when all of us are dead, the hatred will really disappear. Those who died in vain, those who were wronged... will be stared at the pillar of shame for life after life. They will be humiliated and spurned by others. .”

"Even if I am alone, I will kill them all." Bai Wuxin said with a cold voice, his eyes full of hatred.

The old lady shook her head and said: "Revenge alone is too tiring. Only when a group of people gather together can we have strength. He is the one who can gather all the power."

"."

Thinking of the image of Tang Bao "guiding" the chestnut seller with his sincere eyes and serious expression, Bai Wuxin's head was filled with questions: This is the dean's high hopes that he can use all his power to People gathered together?

Could they... have the wrong person? ——

Tang Bandit didn't care what others were thinking. He was just doing what he wanted to do and living in the way he liked.

There are too many responsibilities, too many enemies, and life is too tiring. You need to adjust yourself.

Otherwise, it is easy to get depression.

I heard that many young people in Xinxing are suffering from depression. Even some children who have just entered middle school have started taking bottles of antidepressants.

The suffering in the old land gave him a tenacious, optimistic, and positive attitude towards life. In layman's terms, he means trying his best to survive.

Tang Bandit returned to the small courtyard with Lizi in his arms. When he opened the door, Xiaopang was hitting stones in the courtyard with his shirt off.

Seeing Tang Bandit suddenly appear in front of him, Xiaopang forgot to hammer down the hammer he held high. He stared at Tang Bandit in surprise and exclaimed: "Brother, why are you back? Why didn't you tell me in advance? ?”

Tang Bandit pointed at the hammer in Little Fatty's hand, and Little Fatty threw the hammer away and rushed towards Tang Bandit.

Poor Skeleton Hammer.

This is an artifact in the history of weapons, a weapon used by a generation of fierce gods, but it suffered such inhumane treatment.

Little Fatty was shirtless and was about to hug Tang Bandit. Tang Bandit quickly stretched out his hand to fend him off and said, "Don't hug me, don't hug me. You're covered in sweat."

Because he had just undergone an intense exercise, Xiaopang's body was dripping with sweat, as if he had just been fished out of the river.

Tang Bandit didn't want to use his sweat to wash his clothes.

"Hey hey hey"

Seeing that his eldest brother disliked him, Xiaopang was not angry, he just stood there and giggled.

Tang Bandit handed over the chestnuts in his hand and said, "Roasted chestnuts with sugar, I bought them for you."

"Thank you, brother." Xiaopang happily took it, grabbed one and threw it into his mouth. He chewed all the skin and meat, and said, "Brother, it's too sweet and delicious. It's better than what we have here." It’s delicious when fried on old soil.”

"The chestnuts on the old soil have mutated. Although the fruits are larger, most of the fruits are bitter. These chestnuts are new varieties they cultivated using saplings from the old soil." Tang Bandi explained aloud. : “Although we often pray to Bodhisattvas, we still have to believe in the power of technology.”

"Yeah. Technology is really amazing." Xiaopang had already eaten several pills in the blink of an eye.

Tang Bandit glanced at the big rocks in the yard and asked aloud: "Why are you still smashing rocks so late?"

"Hey hey hey, eldest brother is not at home, and I have nothing to do at home alone, so I came out to smash rocks." Xiaopang explained.

He looked at Tang Bandit and expressed his wish shyly, as if he was afraid of being laughed at.

"My eldest brother went to Bailu, and I also want to go to Bailu. So, I just thought that if I work harder, I might have the opportunity to study with my eldest brother in the future."

He knew that this hope was slim. How could he, a person who didn't know how to practice, be admitted to Egret Academy?

He asked his master, and he said everything was possible.

He was greatly encouraged after hearing this and felt that as long as he worked hard, he would have a chance to be with his brother.

Little did he know that Master's words were "positive nonsense", just like the sentence "Buddha saves those who are destined to be saved".

Who is the destined person?

Whoever the Buddha has saved is a destined person.

If the Buddha does not save you, it proves that your relationship with the Buddha is not strong enough.

Need more money!

Tang Bandit knew that after he left, Xiaopang was left to live alone in the small courtyard.

The little fat guy is shy and doesn't like making friends. He must be lonely in his heart.

Therefore, he secretly set a goal for himself, hoping that he could also enter the White Heron.

Home is where his brother is. Without his brother, he would live like a fool.

Like a walking zombie, I don’t know what to do every day.

Tang Bandit reached out and touched Xiaopang's head, and then felt a sweaty hand.

I habitually wanted to wipe my sweat on the fat boy's clothes, but found that he was shirtless and naked, which was not conducive to my performance.

Xiaopang understood what Tang Bandit meant, so he quickly ran over and took off his shirt from the branch of the cherry blossom tree. He then handed it to Tang Bandit at a trot and said, "Brother, use this to wipe your hands."

Tang Bandit took the T-shirt and wiped his hands, then threw the clothes to Xiaopang and said, "What did you eat at night?"

"Eat egg noodles."

"Did the cooking robot cook it for you?"

"Yeah. What I cook is not as delicious as what the cooking robot makes." Xiaopang held the clothes that Tang Bandit had wiped his hands on with an honest smile on his face.

"You go take a bath first and eat some chestnuts. I'll cook for you." Tang Bandit said.

"Brother, no need, I've already eaten."

"Can you still eat it?" Tang bandit asked.

Xiaopang hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm already 80% full, don't do too much."

"During my absence, you have lost weight due to hunger." Tang Bandit said.

"No way?" Xiaopang touched his face and said, "Teacher Sheng gives me a lot of delicious food every day, and she also fills the refrigerator with all kinds of food and drinks."

".Phoenix."

Tang Bandit sighed softly.

Phoenix had just suffered an "assassination" incident, and his body has not yet fully recovered. He should still be under the care and protection of the royal family.

She couldn't get rid of the tails behind her, so she could only ask her good friend Sheng Xinhuai to do it for her, and let her come every day to deliver various pastries and food to Xiaopang.

She was worried that Xiaopang wouldn't be able to take care of herself after she left.

There is nothing more beautiful than this.

Thinking of the news he had just received from Ling Yunxiao and what they were about to do, Tang Bandit felt extremely heavy.

What kind of world is this?

Why is God so hard on me?

It's okay for other men to be loved to death by ten or eight women, but I finally met a confidante, who is also the daughter of the enemy who killed her father.

Xiaopang looked at Tang Bandit with a worried look on his face and said, "Brother, Teacher Sheng always comes to give me things. I didn't want them originally. She said Sister Fenghuang asked her to give them to me, so I wanted them."

Tang Bandit nodded and said: "Just accept what they offer, but don't let others give you gifts all the time. We owe too much favor and we don't want to pay it back."

"You have a card yourself. Didn't I transfer money to you? If you need anything, you can go to the mall to buy it, or you can place an order directly on your mobile phone and let the smart robot deliver it to you."

"I understand." Xiaopang nodded and said, "I won't let them give it away in the future. I didn't even finish the food they gave me the first time."

"Well, go take a shower quickly and I'll cook for you." Tang Bandit said.

"Okay." Xiaopang said with a happy face, "I can finally eat the food cooked by big brother again."

Xiaopang went to take a shower. Tang Bandit opened the refrigerator and took a look. It was full of stuff.

Xiaopang can't cook himself, so he can only let the cooking robot cook some simple food, so he consumes very few ingredients.

Tang Bandit made Coca-Cola chicken wings for Xiaopang. Children all like to eat these.

I also stewed Xinxing's specialty donkey meat with carrots, fried a green pepper egg, and a local wild vegetable.

When the little fat boy came out, his mouth watered when he saw the delicious and delicious dishes on the table.

"Brother, you are so awesome. You can cook so many dishes in just a short time."

"Practice makes perfect, and I do a lot of it at Bailu Academy," Tang Bandi said.

"Brother, do you also want to cook in the academy?"

"Yes, our dean likes to eat my cooking."

"Yeah, that proves that the dean likes you very much, right?"

"Of course, he even accepted me as his disciple."

"Really?" Xiaopang's eyes shone brightly and he said excitedly: "Brother, the dean has accepted you as a disciple? That's the dean of Bailu Academy. Brother, you are so awesome. I knew you could do it. "

The eldest brother is more powerful than himself and makes him feel more powerful.

Tang Bandit smiled and said: "If he insists on taking me in, I can't refuse. After all, I have to live and study on his territory in the next few years. I'm happy today. Let's have a drink."

"Well, I'm going to get the wine." Xiaopang said, "Brother, what wine do you want to drink?"

"Open a bottle of white wine." Tang Bandit said. "When I cleaned up the wine cellar last time, I saw a lot of liquor in it. What do you want to drink?"

"I will drink whatever eldest brother drinks." Xiaopang said, "Brother, I will get the wine."

Tang Bandit took the white wine Xiaopang brought over, opened it and poured a glass for each of them.

Tang Bandit raised his glass and said, "Come here, toast to our new life."

"Here's to our new life." Xiaopang raised his glass in agreement.

Tang Bandit drank a glass of white wine in one gulp. When Little Fatty saw Tang Bandit doing it, Little Fatty also cheered.

Tang Bandit looked at Fatty and asked aloud: "Little Fatty, are you afraid of death?"

After drinking a glass of high-strength alcohol, the little chubby face turned crimson, but his eyes became brighter. He looked at Tang Bandit and said, "Brother, why did you ask me this question?"

"Because I'm going to do something very dangerous," Tang Bandit said, "something that might cost me my head."

"Brother, we agreed, I will collect your body first, and then I will avenge you."

Xiaopang looked serious and said with a serious face: "If we die, let's die together."
