The Husky and His White Cat Shizun

Two years passed in a flash.

Two years later, in the autumn, Xu Shuanglin was lying on the roof of the Confucian School Hall, squinting his eyes at the sky full of red clouds, with a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth.

Few people would go up to the top of this hall, it was originally a place for him to be alone, but at this moment, there were two people sitting beside him, one on the left and one on the right.

One is his elder brother Nangong Liu, and the other is Master Luo who is about the same age as them.

Xu Shuanglin felt that sometimes he was like some grinning beast, easily not allowing others to invade his territory, so he didn't know why, since when would he be willing to take these two people up to the roof, and accompany him in a daze , Look at the clouds, watch the dragonflies fly low, and the catkins float to high places.

"Liu'er! Xu'er! Where are you?"

Under the verandah came his father's anxious and slightly annoyed voice.

"Really, every time I ask them to help clean the yard, they run faster than rabbits, these two little brats."

"Ah." Nangong Liu poked his head out quietly from the corner of the eaves, revealed a pair of eyes, watched his father hurrying past, and then retracted his head again, "Haha, let's go."

"The old man is also stupid." Xu Shuanglin crossed his legs lazily, looking at us with contempt, "I never knew to look for us on the roof."

On the contrary, Luo Fenghua was a little uneasy: "Is it not good for us to do this... Sigh, otherwise, you can go down in a while, don't let the Lord worry."

"What's the matter? Anyway, the sky is falling, and the two of us are holding it up." Nangong Liu made a face at him, "What are you worried about, Axu, are you right?"

Xu Shuanglin didn't say right or wrong, spit out the dog's tail grass in his mouth, stretched himself, sat up straight and said, "Give me the melon seeds."

Nangong Liu poured more than half of the melon seeds he had brought into his hands, and Xu Shuanglin kowtowed slowly while squinting his eyes, looking at Luo Fenghua anxiously with some amusement.

He spat off a piece of melon seed skin stuck to his lips, and said with a smile: "Master, are you afraid?"

"I just don't think it's a good idea..."

"What's wrong." Xu Shuanglin said, "If the old man blames you, I'll show him face."

Luo Fenghua: "..."

Xu Shuanglin reached out to Luo Fenghua again: "Give me an orange."

"You don't like to eat..."

Xu Shuanglin frowned: "Wonderful, will you give it? I won't lift your ankle and throw you down."

His brother came to be a good teacher: "Axu, don't always be so fierce when talking to Master."

"Master, what are you telling others to listen to?" Xu Shuanglin said, "How can a master sneak up on the roof with an apprentice to knock melon seeds?"

Luo Fenghua was very embarrassed by what he said, and slowly lowered his head.

Xu Shuanglin loved to see him like this. Every time he saw him, he felt the pleasure of a bully bullying the weak. He stared at Luo Fenghua for a while, then grinned suddenly, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"Brother Master, is what the apprentice said right?"

Brother Shizun is a name Xu Shuanglin invented on a whim. There is intimacy in the respect, and teasing in the intimacy, so Luo Fenghua looks very anxious and sad: "No, don't call me that."

"The address is just a formality. This is what Master Shizun himself said."

Luo Fenghua: "..."

After teasing him, Xu Shuanglin stretched out his hand again, begging for nothing again: "Oranges."

"You don't like it, I only brought one, it's for Ah Liu."

Xu Shuanglin's eyes widened, but instead of staring at Luo Fenghua, he turned to stare at his brother.

Nangong Liu was stuffing the pastry into his mouth, when he choked suddenly, waved his hand vaguely and said, "Well, I don't really want to eat oranges today, Master, just give it to him."

Luo Fenghua thought for a while, and said, "One and half of you."

As he spoke, he wiped the orange on his sleeve, then peeled it off, trying to break it into two halves fairly, but it was still a big one and a small one.

So Luo Fenghua seemed a little distressed.

Probably because of his poor and helpless background, he was always troubled by such insignificant things.

"Ugh……"

"Give me the big one." Xu Shuanglin was unceremonious, took the orange with a golden knife, and made a choice for Luo Fenghua who was trying to make a bowl of water, "Give him the small one."

Luo Fenghua said: "Don't always bully your brother..."

Before he finished speaking, a piece of juicy orange was stuffed into his mouth. He opened his round eyes in astonishment, and looked at Xu Shuanglin blankly and ignorantly.

"What are you talking about?" Xu Shuanglin sneered, his attitude was sloppy, but his eyes were very gentle, "My half, I still have to part with brother Shizun."

Nangong Liu also came over, took the other half of the oranges, counted the petals, separated out a few slices, and handed them to Xu Shuanglin and Luo Fenghua respectively.

The later head of Confucian style sect chuckled. Under the sunset, his soft hair was like velvet, slightly covering his forehead.Xu Shuanglin looked at him amusedly: "What are you doing?"

"Eat with oranges."

He divided melon seeds, pastries, and preserved fruits into three piles.

"Try some snacks together."

"You...you are really..." Luo Fenghua seemed to want to pick up a little bit of his majesty, but Xu Shuanglin and Nangong Liu seemed to have no feeling for it, but looked at it kindly and stubbornly. with him.

Luo Fenghua felt both happy and absurd in this kind of friendly eyes, and he murmured after a long time: "What a nonsense..."

Nangong Liu said: "No nonsense, no nonsense, nonsense is three people together."

Xu Shuanglin finally let out a burst of joy when he heard this, propped his hand on the ridge of the roof, put his other hand on his forehead and said with a smile: "Okay, then the three of us will eat oranges and snacks together from now on."

He paused, looked up at the majestic scene of the Confucian style house, and grinned: "There is a roof, let's climb together."

The scene flashed by.

It was also that year, the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival.

Xu Shuanglin was barefoot, with a branch and leaf in his mouth, and was lazily walking along the main path of Confucianism Gate, pointing from time to time: "The lantern should be hung higher, what about you, why are you hanging it so low?" ? Short legs and another person to go up."

Suddenly an anxious voice came from behind: "Axu, wait."

Xu Shuanglin turned around and saw Luo Fenghua bringing a pair of shoes over, frowned, and said, "Why are you running around without shoes?"

"This road is full of qi refining stones, so you don't wear shoes, so you can absorb spiritual energy."

"It's so cold, what's so much spiritual power? Put it on quickly, look, your toes are turning red from the cold."

"Tsk, you are so troublesome with your long-winded words."

But having said that, Xu Shuanglin still put on the shoes slowly, unruly, and pulled them casually, then squinted and asked Luo Fenghua: "What's the matter, are you free? Do you want to go out with me for a stroll?" city?"

"A Liu's homework hasn't been finished yet, I have to finish it before he..."

Xu Shuanglin interrupted the conversation.

He raised his chin, his eyes proud: "My brother, that idiot, if you keep staring at him and writing, then the whole Lantern Festival night will be wasted, don't pass it."

Luo Fenghua smiled with a good temper: "But it's nothing, I don't like excitement very much."

Xu Shuanglin stared at him for a while, then suddenly angrily kicked off his shoes and flew far away, Luo Fenghua said in astonishment, "What's wrong with you?"

"Don't wear it, don't wear it! Roll on."

"Put on your shoes, it's cold."

"Don't wear it! Get out!"

"……You're angry?"

Xu Shuanglin looked disgusted: "I'm angry? Why should I be angry? You and my brother, you two are idiots and poor ghosts. It would be great to celebrate the festival together. Let's go, don't talk to me."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and walked forward carelessly.

He actually hoped that Luo Fenghua would chase after him at that time.

Even if my feet are red and chapped from the cold, I don't care.

He just wants to kick off the shoes on both feet, waiting for someone to call him from behind, and tell him in a hurry that he is going to catch a cold.

Xu Shuanglin walked expectantly.

But after waiting for a while, Luo Fenghua didn't catch up and didn't call him.

He paused, and involuntarily slowed down.

Until he walked a hundred meters away and was about to reach the gate of the city, no one called him.He pinched his knuckles and thought, that's all, anyway, since he was a child, he didn't have any playmates, and he spent so many years wandering around Lantern Festival alone, so what's the big deal.

He steps down the steps.

One level.

two levels.

Finally turning around suddenly, the bridge of his nose was wrinkled, his face changed, and he couldn't help shouting: "Luo Fenghua!"

In fact, Luo Fenghua didn't leave, he stood where he was, he had already picked up his shoes, he was in a dilemma, he didn't know what to do.At this time, when I heard Xu Shuanglin's violent shout, it was like a blow to the head, and I suddenly came back to my senses, opened my round eyes, and said blankly: "Ah..."

"..."

Forget it.

Really got him.

So that year's Lantern Festival, he and Xu Shuanglin stayed beside Nangong Liu.

Nangong Liu memorized the spell scroll in extreme distress, rolled his eyes and recited: "One inch and five minutes below the heart's mouth is the Juque acupoint and the heart screen. If you hit it, you will lose consciousness. You should go down to the right Feifu acupoint." What the hell is going on..." He scratched his head and said, "I don't remember again."

"Stupid! Forget it if you're stupid!!"

Xu Shuanglin took the bamboo slips and knocked on his brother's forehead, his face full of hostility, "For the second half, punch him with your arms and wake up. If you don't recover after waking up, you will die in more than a hundred days. The water point on the navel belongs to the second small intestine and stomach Sutra, seriously injured and died on the 28th.... the ninth time!!! Why didn't you die of stupidity?!"

Nangong Liu looked very depressed, lying on the table, heaved a long sigh, then raised his eyelids, and blew a strand of soft hair on his forehead.

"I also think I'm stupid...if only I were as smart as you."

"Impossible." Xu Shuanglin said firmly, "Dream."

As soon as the warm curtain was raised and lowered, Luo Fenghua who had just gone out to cook the Lantern Festival came back.

He was wearing a thick cloak, and there was a little snow on his dark hair and curled eyelashes. Under the reflection of the fire, his ordinary face gave off some attractive flavors.

It's like the spring is small, and the snow is beautiful.

"I've been reciting it for a long time, let's have some Lantern Festival and rest for a while."

Luo Fenghua brought over the wooden tray, three bowls of Lantern Festival, one bowl for each person.

Nangong Liu cheered, and immediately rushed to the front of the case, and was about to reach out, but was grabbed by the person behind him.

Xu Shuanglin's face was gloomy: "Why are you in a hurry, there are no rules, thank you?"

Nangong Liu was stunned, as if he was a little surprised that his most unruly younger brother would actually push his nose against him in this section.

"what?"

Seeing his younger brother narrowing his eyes dangerously, Nangong Liu waved his hands again and again, bought a baby by the way, brushed off his sleeves, made a big gift, raised his head and joked: "Little slave thanked the master for the gift~"

Luo Fenghua: "..."

Seeing this guy's naughtiness, Xu Shuanglin felt that he was angry and funny at the same time. He wanted to know which script this guy probably learned from, so he said, "Okay, let's have some snacks."

Luo Fenghua rubbed his hands that were a little stiff and red from the cold, put them to his mouth and hehe, Xu Shuanglin unbuttoned his cloak for him, and he was a little flattered: "Ah, don't bother."

Xu Shuanglin didn't bother to talk to him, and asked casually, "Is it snowing outside?"

"Well, just got off, I don't know if it can be piled up tonight, and we can have a snowball fight the next day."

"...Master." The sudden address at this time was by no means respectful, but mocking, "How old are you?"

Luo Fenghua laughed, his eyelashes were soft, Xu Shuanglin couldn't help being gentle in his heart, but when he was shocked by this gentleness, he felt annoyed for no reason, and he hurriedly looked for any reason to vent, Luo Fenghua did not disappoint him, he I found it soon, so I pointed at a patch on the cloak and said in disgust:

"Are you poor? You have been in Confucianism for so long, why don't you throw away this rag? Are you stupid if you wear it outside and people think we bully you!?"

Luo Fenghua immediately became anxious: "This, even if this is broken, it can still be worn after patching it up. Considering that there are still so many people suffering in the lower cultivation world, I have no way to eat and drink well. Buy a cloak With money, you can buy a dozen or so spirit talismans and give them to those in need. How wonderful.”

"..." Xu Shuanglin still poked his finger on the patch and glared at him angrily.

Luo Fenghua carefully sought the approval of his master disciple: "Don't you think so?"

"I think you are sick! Poor sick!"

But that being said, hang the cape back on the rack.

The three of them sat around the stove and ate glutinous rice balls.

It is impossible to watch the Lantern Festival lanterns, but these three young people of similar ages can talk and chat together, and they don't feel boring.

It was snowing outside the window, and frost covered the edges of the red window lattice, crystal clear.

The firewood in the house crackled, reflecting the whole room like spring.

After drinking some wine, the atmosphere became even better, Luo Fenghua couldn't even persuade them, so he took the harp brought by Nangong Liu, with red cheeks, a little drunk, fiddled a few times, and sang a little hometown tune.

"Flowers fall in the pond at three or four o'clock, and strings sing once or twice on the shore. The youngest years are the best, and the horses with light hoofs and fast horses can see all the flowers in the sky..."

"Master, Master, this sounds nice. Tell me, what is it called?"

"Youth Tour." Luo Fenghua said gently, "It's a short song in Sichuan, I think it fits the occasion."

Nangong Liu raised his head and smiled, his smile was always overly warm and flattering, but after drinking too much wine, he became a little frank and straightforward: "Hahaha, the young man is very nice, we are not the young man Qiuma, Are you high-spirited?"

Xu Shuanglin folded his arms and snorted coldly: "I can't memorize a book nine times, which boy is as stupid as you."

"Oh, everyone has their own shortcomings, and everyone has their own strengths." Nangong Liu smiled, and actually had the energy to refute her younger brother, "Although you are a genius, I may also have my own talents. "

"...you drank too much."

Luo Fenghua also laughed, picked up the wine cup, and said: "I hope that you will spend your whole life as a weak crown, each of you will be a gentleman for the rest of your life based on your strengths."

Nangong Liu clapped his palms and hooked his younger brother's shoulders, which made Xu Shuanglin feel uncomfortable and pushed him away. Nangong Liu didn't care, and laughed loudly: "When Master said this, I suddenly remembered that although we don't let go He Deng, but wishes must be granted, let’s all make a wish.”

Xu Shuanglin twitched the corner of his mouth: "I think making a wish is quite disgusting."

Luo Fenghua said: "Let's write it on paper. After finishing writing, throw it into the fire, and it will come true."

In the end, they each wrote down their wishes.What Luo Fenghua's is, there is no need to say more, he has already mentioned it when he just made a toast.

Nangong Liu has difficulty reading, and likes to read while writing: "I hope... eat well, drink well, have great prospects, live in harmony, and be reunited."

Xu Shuanglin was extremely disgusted, but the nausea was mixed with some inexplicable subtle emotions.

He is a bastard, and not many people at home have ever paid attention to him.

It was after Luo Fenghua came that he had a companion. He, Nangong Liu, and Shizun, they would often play and practice together.

Rather than saying that Luo Fenghua is his master, it is better to say that Luo Fenghua is his first best friend in life.

Because of Luo Fenghua's presence, he didn't even feel so envious of his elder brother's worthlessness, but because of his status as the eldest son, he garnered all the attention.They get along day and night, but they can see some cuteness in Nangong Liu.

"What did Ah Xu write?"

Xu Shuanglin didn't answer, and threw the paper he rolled into the fire pit at will.

The wish was soon engulfed by light and heat, and the splashing sparks caught his eyes.

"Nothing written, blank paper."

Luo Fenghua and Nangong Liu were greatly disappointed, showing some disappointed expressions.

Xu Shuanglin then grinned, with an evil and sweet smile, with a kind of self-satisfaction born after teasing others.

I lied to you.

The handwriting in the ball of paper was neat, upright, stroke by stroke, serious.It says——

Hope, Luo Fenghua, Nangong Xu, and Nangong Liu can be relatives and friends for a lifetime, eat oranges together, share pastries together, and climb the roof together.

From the young age of the weak crown to the white hair on the temples.
