The moon is as cool as water

Jiang Qi didn't understand until he fell into Yue Liang's hands that some things had to be faced and borne by himself.Looking at the full moon outside the window, he thought to himself that he had been living in a daze for half his life, with a little bit of cleverness, but he had no plans to care about major issues, and fell into such an embarrassing situation with the current.

Thirteen years ago, it was also a full moon night. Jiang Qi leaned against the table and waited for the return of the master who went down the mountain to do business.

Just when he was in a daze, a familiar voice woke him up: "Qi'er, Qi'er, wake up!"

Jiang Qi woke up from his sleep drooling, and when he raised his eyes, he saw his master Yue Mingxi standing in front of the table.Yue Mingxi kindly looked at Jiang Qi who was sleeping stupidly, and said with a smile: "Why don't you go back to sleep in your room?"

Jiang Qi's mind is still not sober, and his tongue is not very flexible. He wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth in a daze, and murmured: "Wait... wait for Master to come back."

Yue Mingxi stretched out his hand to tidy up his messy sleeping hair, then pulled a ten-year-old child from his side, and said with a reproachful smile, "If you can't wait, then don't wait, you're an older child, why are you still so clingy?" Master, look, I brought you a little friend back, let him accompany you in the future, so that you won’t be bored on the mountain and keep pestering me.”

Only then did Jiang Qi realize that there was a boy about his own age standing behind Yue Mingxi, and he wondered, "Whose child is this?"

The child stood beside Yue Mingxi, although his clothes were ragged and he looked like a little beggar, but his eyes were quite restrained and arrogant, which even made Jiang Qi inexplicably feel a trace of hostility from nowhere.

Yue Mingxi was thinking about Jiang Qi. After going down the mountain to finish his business, he rushed back without stopping all the way, and even brought a child on the road. At this time, he was extremely exhausted. He took a sip of the cold tea on the table, and explained simply: "I met this time when I went down the mountain and passed by Xiaowang Village. This child's life is miserable, his parents are gone, and he is helpless. I will bring him back and be with you."

Jiang Qi glanced at the child, feeling that he was ugly and sloppy, and said disapprovingly: "Dirty child, who wants him to be my company?"

Yue Mingxi was used to pampering him, and he didn't get angry when he didn't listen to what he said, so he just slapped him lightly on the head, and said with a smile: "Don't be rude. From now on, he will be your junior brother, you should be a bigger brother." Senior brother should get along well with junior fellow!"

Jiang Qi said that he doesn't want company, but in fact he felt that life on the mountain was so lonely and boring. He had long hoped to have a partner of a similar age to play with him, but now he heard that he has become a big brother , became happy almost without any transition, the name of Senior Brother sounds so majestic, he asked Yue Mingxi: "What's his name?"

Before Yue Mingxi could answer, the child had already opened his mouth, with a hoarse but aloof voice: "My name is Shitou, what's your name?"

Seeing that he was not afraid of life, Jiang Qi felt a little more satisfied, and immediately said proudly: "My name is Jiang Qi, but I will be your big brother from now on, you can't call me by my name, you have to call me big brother!"

Shi Shi snorted lightly, raised his head and asked, "How old are you?"

Jiang Qi said: "I am eleven this year."

Shi Shi snorted again from his nostrils, this time louder, and Jiang Qi heard the disdain clearly: "I'm twelve! I'm older than you!"

Jiang Qi was stunned, and raised his eyes to look at Yue Mingxi, the master picked up a child and didn't ask his age first, he is younger than his senior brother, how can he be disciplined in the future?Jiang Qi has a bad feeling in his little heart - this stone doesn't look like a good stubble, do you really want him to be your company?

Yue Mingxi watched the two children bickering with a smile on his face, and didn't take this little issue to heart at all.Boys, it's normal to fight and fight, and it will be fine after a long time.

On the second day, Yue Mingxi officially accepted Shi Shi as his second disciple, and asked him to take his surname as "Yue Liang".Liang means pillars, and Yue Liang is excellent in martial arts. Yue Mingxi hopes that he can work with Jiang Qi in the future to make the Tsing Yi Sword School flourish.

After drinking the respecting teacher tea presented by Yue Liang, Yue Mingxi turned to look at Jiang Qi, that was the first apprentice he took in, and he was also a child who was brought up by himself and treated as his own.Jiang Qi is the only son of his old friend Jiang Pingtian. It is reasonable to say that he should grow up with his parents. Unfortunately, when Jiang Qi’s mother gave birth to him, he died of dystocia. Since Jiang Qi was born, his body bones were weaker than ordinary children. In order to ensure that he can grow up safely When he was young, the Jiang family had no choice but to send him to practice martial arts with him.

Yue Mingxi looked at the two half-grown children who were about the same age, and suddenly felt something was wrong for some reason.At the age of three, he looks old, and at the age of seven, he looks old. Yue Liang is definitely not a child in the pool. If there is a gap between him and Jiang Qi one day, the pampered Jiang Qi will definitely not be his opponent.

Jiang Qi didn't know what his master was thinking, he was pure-hearted, so his master found him a younger brother, although he was a bit older than himself, but he started early and became a senior brother steadily, that's enough.

Life in the mountains was lonely, Jiang Qi finally got a partner, so he got close to Yue Liang in different ways, but Yue Liang was always cold and ignored Jiang Qiai.Jiang Qi upholds the duties of a senior brother and takes it as his duty to make his junior brother happy. He took out his private collection of gadgets one by one and showed Yue Liang over and over again: "Junior brother, look, this is the shadow puppet my father brought me. There's an old man who can play this."

Yue Liang took a few glances in his hand: "Then do you know how to play?"

Jiang Qi fiddled with it a few times, hesitated for a moment and finally answered honestly: "Uh... no, but don't you think it looks pretty?"

Yue Liang continued to practice the homework assigned by Yue Mingxi blankly.

"Then let's go to the back mountain to fly a kite. You see, this eagle kite is very well drawn. My father said that it was made by the wind chasing workshop in the county. My father also said that all their kites were sent to Beijing for sale. Those high-ranking officials are very fond of them." Jiang Qi is not discouraged, does not give up, and does not believe that he will not be able to subdue this junior.

Yue Liang refused concisely: "I won't go."

Jiang Qi stared: "Why?"

"Master said, we are not allowed to go to the back mountain."

Jiang Qixizi held the eagle kite as if holding his heart, and said nonchalantly: "It's okay, Master is just afraid that we will fall under the waterfall in Qingfengjian, we just don't go there."

Then he muttered softly: "Master himself keeps running to the back hills, why doesn't he let us go?"

After flying the kite, Jiang Qi took out an exquisite spinning top: "How about we go to smoke the spinning top?"

Yue Liang: "No, I'm doing my homework."

Jiang Qi put down the top, took out a few glazed beads from under the treasure chest, took a look at Yue Liang and put it down again, sighed silently in his heart, this kid is really a stubborn stone, apart from doing homework all day long Why is it so unpleasant to do homework?He almost wanted to go to Yue Mingxi to return the goods, could he be replaced by a cuter junior?No, it's better to change to a beautiful and obedient junior sister!

It was with great difficulty that Yue Liang managed to finish the homework assigned by Yue Mingxi, and he was annoyed all afternoon by Jiang Qi offering a treasure.In fact, it's not that he's not interested in those little gadgets, and he asked his family to buy them for him when his parents were both around, but now he doesn't have the capital to be as unscrupulous and naughty as Jiang Qi.

Seeing Jiang Qi stuffing all his treasures into his treasure chest with a sad face, Yue Liang couldn't think about getting too stiff with him, so he compromised and said: "Quickly finish your homework, and I will play with you after I finish it." .”

Jiang Qi immediately beamed with joy, and didn't want to miss his junior sister anymore. He dropped the treasure chest and put his arms around Yue Liang's shoulders and said, "We'll do our homework later, then let's go play now! The big pagoda tree in front of the mountain gate is blooming, I'll take you Go be a flower picker!"

Yue Liang immediately wanted to regret: "Do you know what a flower picker is?"

Jiang Qi strangled Yue Liang's neck with one arm and ran out: "I know, we went to pick flowers without Master's permission, isn't it just a flower picker?" Thieves, then we will be hero flower pickers! Right, Stone!"

Yue Liang was probably malnourished when he was homeless. Although he was a bit older than Jiang Qi, he was a bit shorter in stature. His neck was sore from being strangled by him, his face was red and his ears were red: "Don't call me a stone!"

"Okay, hero flower picker!" Jiang Qi was in a happy mood, and he was very kind.

"Don't call me that either!"
