He was reborn and I wasn't!

Although Kong Fang scolded the little bastard in his heart, he still stayed and took a stride.

Shang Ning only stood for a while but couldn't stand anymore.His current body has no experience in martial arts, and he is still relatively weak. His thigh hurts from standing, and his shoulders and arms are sore.He stopped for a while, moved his shoulders, and shook his arms and thighs.Stopping and stopping like this, finally survived the time of a stick of incense.

Kong Fang was very satisfied when he closed the momentum, and he praised: "Shang Ning's tenacity is very rare. I just think that the invincible pure yang skill needs years of hard work, and you are really suitable."

Shang Ning nodded.

Kong Fang stroked his short beard in relief, turned around and wanted to take this opportunity to have a good talk with his disciples, and saw Jiang Yan stretched his long legs, walked to the rocking chair and lay down in front of the rocking chair, with his hands folded in front of his abdomen , looking very comfortable in the shade.

Kong Fang: "..."

Kong Fang said angrily: "Lie down right after practice, don't get up soon!"

Jiang Yan said lazily: "What's the matter?"

Kong Fang said: "Wash the clothes!"

Jiang Yan: "...Why do you want me to wash?"

Kong Fang said: "Didn't you like playing with water the most when you were young? What's wrong with playing with water while washing your clothes?"

Jiang Yan: "..."

Kong Fang said again: "Quick, quick, I have already removed the quilts on your bed and my bed, put them in a basin and brought them to the yard. When you wash them, don't forget the two quilts in your bag." A piece of clothing. I will go to the field to help you with brother Qing. The rice will be harvested soon, and he can’t do it alone. I’m leaving now, and I’ll eat lunch with him today, about half a month I may come back later. During the meal, you two can settle it by yourself. I put money on the table, so don’t spend it lavishly. Remember to teach your little brother how to practice. Get up early every day to catch the sun rising !"

Jiang Yan: "..."

Why was it so sudden that he was going to harvest rice as soon as he came back?Jiang Yan doesn't know anything about farm work, seasons, etc., and he can't tell whether Kong Fang has really gone to harvest rice. He only knows that his master will be away for ten days, and Uncle Adu is not here on this mountain. Brother Shangqing If he is not there, who will drive the ox cart to take him out of the mountain in two days?

Seeing that his master was about to turn around, Jiang Yan hurriedly said: "What should I do if you leave? How can I go back in two days?"

Kong Fang was a little unhappy when he heard the words: "Leave so early? I agreed to come to see me yesterday, but that's how you see it? I think you are tired of staying on the mountain and want to go outside to play. Hmph, you You don't miss me at all, you just have a sweet mouth!"

Jiang Yan: "..."

He really felt that the mountain was not as prosperous as his home. There was nothing to eat, nothing to play, and no one to take care of him. He wanted to stay for a few days to see Master before leaving.Unexpectedly, his master saw through it at a glance, Jiang Yan refused to admit it, and said stubbornly: "Then master, you have been away for more than ten days, and I can't see it even if I want to."

Kong Fang said: "Then wait. If you don't want to wait, you can go. Anyway, the bullock cart is with your Uncle Adu. If you want to go out of the mountain by yourself, you can go."

Jiang Yan: "..."

Jiang Yan was very depressed.He entered the mountain the day before yesterday, the mountain road was difficult to walk, and there was a bright sun hanging above his head, which made his forehead sweat and his hands and feet were weak, and he wanted to hang out on the side of the road several times.If it weren't for the familiar inn on the mountain road halfway, I'm afraid he would have to spend the night in the wild.Jiang Yan really didn't want to go through this kind of rush again, so he could only lie listlessly on the rocking chair.

Kong Fang was fierce just now, but now seeing his apprentice like this, he knew in his heart that he had been wronged after all.As a disciple, he grew up in rich clothes and fine food, even on this mountain, he was held in the palm of his hand and pampered and grew up.In previous years, Jiang Yan would go home for three months every year. When she came back to this poor mountain valley, she would not make noise, lose her temper, or complain, and she would carry a large bag with her.There was still a sweet smile on his chubby little face, Xiaoxiao invited his master, Uncle Adu and Brother Shangqing to eat something delicious.

As soon as Kong Fang thought of this, he felt that the child was old enough to go outside to practice, and naturally his heart became wilder. It would be great if he could remember to come back to see them, so why should he be so harsh.So Kong Fang said: "Don't be sad, the next month will be very hot, our mountain will be cooler, and your little brother can still play with you."

Jiang Yan waved his hand lazily, indicating that he knew and asked his master to leave quickly.Kong Fang looked and looked worriedly, and saw that his apprentice did not look dissatisfied, so he turned and went down the mountain.

Now there were only Jiang Yan and Shang Ning left on the hill.

Jiang Yan lay down for a while, looked at the sundial in the yard, and found that half of the time had passed.He was very reluctant to get up, but when he saw Shang Ning sitting on a chair beside him, looking at him with dark eyes, Jiang Yan thought that he still had to take care of his little brother, so he still struggled to get up. Woke up.

Shang Ning watched his senior brother stand up and asked, "Where are you going?"

Jiang Yan said: "It should be fetching water, wash your clothes first, and then take you to dinner."

Shang Ning nodded and said, "Could you take me to fetch water?"

Jiang Yan smiled and said: "Of course, let's go, I will take you down the mountain to play."

So the two entered the house, Jiang Yan picked up the pole, hung a bucket on each side, and called his little brother to go.

Shang Ning also took a small bucket from the corner.

Seeing this, Jiang Yan smiled and said, "Is the junior brother going to help me? Wow, why is the junior brother always so nice?"

Shang Ning didn't know how to answer him.His senior brother seems to be always so enthusiastic, and he is not tired of praising him.In Shang Ning's memory, he seldom heard compliments from others, but now he doesn't feel tired of listening to them every day, and feels a little happy in his heart.

Seeing that Jiang Yan was still looking at him, he was smiling, not at all angry because of his non-response.Shang Ning pursed his lips, carried the small bucket and walked forward.

Jiang Yan saw a little red on the tips of his ears, and knew in his heart that his little brother must be shy.He smiled and followed.

When the two walked down the stairs, Da Huang, who had been lying under the shade of the tree at the mountain pass, saw the person he liked coming, and quickly stuck out his tongue to meet him, circling around Jiang Yan.Jiang Yan patted Rhubarb's dog's head with one hand, and said with a smile, "Duhuang, let's fetch water, will you come down to play with us?"

Rhubarb barked twice, and frantically wagged its tail, leaving several afterimages.

Jiang Yan smiled, and the two of them went down the mountain together with a dog.

The mountain where Qingfumen is located is not high, the steps are paved with stone slabs, and towering trees are lined on both sides, full of greenery, covering the sky and the sun.The dappled sunlight struck down, creating fine spots of light one after another on the stone slab.The wind in the mountains is strong, and the sound of rustling branches and leaves often lingers overhead.

Shang Ning walked behind Jiang Yan.He was far less tall than Jiang Yan. Even if he had the advantage of the terrain at the moment, he couldn't see the top of Jiang Yan's head when he looked up, but he happened to see the hook on the collar of the opponent's shirt.This set of clothes is bamboo green, with black thread used for framing.He also saw a complex flower pattern on the back of the shoulder with a lighter thread of the same color, and corresponding leaves on the trouser legs. The whole pattern appeared and disappeared under the light as people walked.

Jiang Yan turned his head and saw his junior brother staring at his clothes.He looked at himself, and said with a smile, "Isn't this dress nice? Two years ago, my father asked someone to make it for me. The workmanship is very exquisite, and it's still a hit now. But it's a little old, you If you don’t dislike it when you grow up, I can wear it for you.”

Shang Ning said: "The clothes must be very expensive."

"It's okay, it's not very expensive." Jiang Yan said uncertainly, "I don't know how much my father spent. I remember when I was out and about, I saw that a piece of cloth in a cloth shop only cost ten copper coins, which is better Maybe it’s half a penny. With the embroidery work, maybe two or three taels of silver?” After he finished speaking, he turned his head and smiled: “Anyway, there are quite a lot of clothes like this in my house. I couldn’t wear the old clothes when they were too small. If you don’t have a younger brother, you can just wear it.”

Two taels of silver would be enough for an ordinary family to live for less than half a year, and if they were more frugal, it would not be uncommon for them to live for more than half a year.However, a piece of clothing worth two taels of silver was not particularly expensive in the eyes of his senior brother, and he could give it to others at will.

Shang Ning lowered his head and didn't speak again.

The two walked for a while, turned a corner, and saw the foot of the mountain behind the shade of greenery.Rhubarb ran fast on four legs and had been waiting for them at the end of the steps. Now that he saw them, he ran and jumped around like a merry-go-round.

The two went down the mountain, Shang Ning said, "Where are we going to get water?"

Jiang Yan said: "There is a village in front, and there is a well at the entrance of the village, let's go there." He pointed in a direction and led Shang Ning there.

After walking a few steps, Shang Ning saw a wall of a well in the distance, and there were many people waiting to fetch water.There are men, women and children, all dressed in colorful clothes, and laughter is heard from afar.There are also many children who are not in the team and only play in the open space next to them.

After they approached, a man in front greeted them and said loudly to Jiang Yan: "Oh, Xiao Yaner, you are back!"

Jiang Yan also smiled and replied loudly: "Yes, Uncle Stick. I just came back yesterday, and I came down to see you today!"

Uncle Gun wrinkled his face with a smile, and said repeatedly: "You doll, you have such a sweet mouth!"

As soon as the two of them were shouting, Jiang Yan and the others walked over.Uncle Gun looked at the young man standing in front of him, and said happily, "I haven't seen you in the past two years. You've grown so tall and handsome."

Jiang Yan smiled and said, "Thank you, Uncle Stick, for your compliment." With a calm expression on his face, he also pretended not to be ignorant of the eyeballs cast by the older girls and younger daughter-in-laws in the crowd.

Uncle Gun looked at Shang Ning at the side and said, "This is it?"

Jiang Yan smiled and said, "My little brother."

Uncle Gun said hello several times, and then said: "Come over to eat at home when you have time, Uncle Gun will cook something delicious for you."

Jiang Yan said with a smile: "Okay, I want to miss Uncle Gun's craftsmanship. Uncle Gun will also go up the mountain to play when he is free."

Uncle Stick smiled and nodded.

After fetching water, the two walked back.Shang Ning asked, holding the heavy keg, "Is that person Master knows just now?"

Jiang Yan said: "It's not just the people I know, Master and them are brothers and sisters."

Shang Ning said, "They?"

Jiang Yandao: "Yes, Uncle Gun just now, Uncle Guang, Uncle Li, and Uncle Ya before, who are called five brothers with Master. It's just that Uncle Ya got married later, and they didn't have much contact with Uncle Ya gone."

Shang Ning was puzzled: "Why don't you date after getting married?"

Jiang Yan thought for a while, and said, "Maybe it's because I'm jealous that Uncle Ya has a wife."

Shang Ning: "..."
