Picked up a little dumb on the side of the road

Xu Qingyan's heartfelt words made Wei Xun dizzy. He knew in his heart that what the master said was right. He was indeed unachieved, not only unachieved. He had no time to meditate in the past two years, and he was still far behind.

But at sea, the hostility was a bit heavier than other places, but there was nothing abnormal.

Wei Xun couldn't tell the difference, after all, the master had never been to Bumuhai, could it be that the overly cautious master made a fuss out of a molehill?

But no matter what the reason is, Wei Xun understands that since the world thinks that only pity can come and go freely in that place, no matter whether it is true or not, it can only be true in the eyes of the world——

Today, when I return safely, I will definitely cause waves.

The master and apprentice were silent for a long time.

It was rare for Wei Xun to be rude and refused to answer the master's question. Xu Qingyan knew that Wei Xun had listened to his own words; The news of your safe return will spread later, so that we can have more time to think about countermeasures. It’s getting late, so go back and rest earlier.”

Wei Xun felt a little sad for some reason when he heard this, he looked up at the man he had called his master for more than ten years, and he was already showing signs of aging.

Although this man has not been close to him for so many years, he is more than serious and rigid, but lacks in kindness and warmth. He is timid and cautious but has no ambitions.

But there is such a person, who seems to have no strengths, but really pulled himself out of the abyss, passed on his own abilities, has no ability, and now he still wants to protect himself, he can't help feeling a little sore, and his knees are soft again .

"Master, this disciple is useless and affects the master's family. I hope that with this useless body, I can protect the master's family with my life!"

"Hey... I just talked about your problem. Sure enough, after all these years, you just can't listen to what you say as a teacher..." Xu Qingyan closed his eyes and waved his hands, looking extremely tired, "That's all, being a teacher I didn't intend to make things difficult for you, and it was just... the crime of pregnant..."

He sighed again, "You've worked hard today, it's getting late, stop the bell and leave."

Wei Xun walked out of the master's room, disturbed in his heart, and was not in a hurry to go back to the room. He just wandered aimlessly in the mountains like this, and for some reason, he just happened to reach the well where Xiao Yi fell asleep just now.

He suddenly recalled the time when he and Xiao Yi were the same age.

At that time, my heart was filled with emptiness and fear, and I was eager to ask for good, and I only knew how to cultivate all day long.

Although he didn't like to be seen by his peers openly and secretly, it was just a teasing among children. At that time, he always wanted to live faster and see the day of his great success as soon as possible.

Now I feel that those days were still carefree, but I still miss them a little.

Looking up at the boundless moonlight in the mountain, I feel that I don't know this place where I have lived for more than ten years, and I can't help but feel sad——

It's really been a long time since I left, it seems that some things that I didn't notice have changed.

Thinking of this, Wei Xun recalled the scene of carrying Xiao Yi on his back just now. The child's legs had fallen down to his knees, and he had really grown up.

The "little mute girl" who was thin and weak back then has grown into a teenager.

He smiled wryly and murmured: "It's been too long since I've been away. In a few more years, she should be as tall as me. I'm afraid I won't be able to carry it on my back."

After finishing speaking, he calmed down and lifted his breath, the wind was blowing under his feet, and he quickly rushed to his bedroom.

As soon as he entered the door, Wei Xun heard a rustling sound on the bed. He thought that Xiao Yi, who was in a light sleep, was woken up by entering the door, so he asked cautiously, "Did it wake you up?"

Seeing that no one answered him, he walked lightly to the bedside.

Xiao Yi's exquisite face was grim, his brows were furrowed, his lips were tightly pursed, a thin layer of sweat oozed from his forehead, his knuckles were turning blue and white from clutching the bed sheet tightly, and his legs were also consciously or unconsciously from time to time. I kicked and kicked a few times, I think that's how the rustling sound just now came from.

Is it a nightmare?Wei Xun thought to himself.

He faintly sensed a deep hostility coming, and didn't know whether to wake up the person in front of him for a moment, so he sat by the bed, wiped off the sweat on Xiao Yi's forehead with his sleeve, and patted Xiao Yi's face lightly. chest.

It was as gentle as in my memory when my mother patted my chest and back to coax me to sleep.

He felt a sudden tug in his heart, and a trace of disdain appeared on his face.

Laughing at myself, Wei Xun, Wei Xun, just now you knelt in front of the master and swore to protect the master well, don't you know that you can't even protect a child.

This child is so hostile, what should I do if it goes on like this?

"Don't be afraid, the seventh uncle is here." Wei Xun said softly, "The uncle was negligent before, and the uncle was not good, so I apologize to you. From now on, if the uncle is here, he will protect you all day long. The uncle will always be there Get in front of you."

After a slight pause, he added: "Well...you trust my brother, okay?"

The person on the bed was clearly still asleep, but as if he could hear him speak, he slowly untied his brows, hands and feet, and fell into a deep sleep.

That night Xiao Yi slept deeply, until the sunlight climbed up from his feet to his face, covering his whole body, and then he was shaken awake.

Consciousness gradually became clear, but he was unwilling to open his eyes.

For so many years, even if Xiao Yi didn't have the strange dream of fire and rain, he only dreamed that he was chased and bitten by wild dogs, was abused in the drunken workshop, or dreamed of the heart-piercing night when he broke his leg. Pain, but never had a dream like last night.

In the dream, someone gently patted him and coaxed him to sleep. Although he had never felt the embrace of his mother, he felt that in the dream it was the mother coaxing his child to sleep.

There was also a nice voice that said softly, "You trust my brother, okay?"

Xiao Yi slightly raised his eyelids, and saw Wei Xun by the window standing against the morning light.

In that beam of morning light, fine dust floated in the air, reflecting the light, and hugging the tall and straight figure.

Today's Wei Xun has gradually faded away from the youthful innocence, and is already a young man, tall and straight, thin and powerful.

Xiao Yi always has infinite admiration and longing for his figure, thinking that one day he will be like Wei Xun, possessing a man's solid body and powerful abilities.

"Why didn't you pick me up early today? But I've grown taller recently, and my brother can't hold me anymore?" Xiao Yi said lazily, "It's already high in the sun, and I missed my morning class. Someone will punish me for today. ?”

Xiao Yi said that he missed the morning class, but he didn't move his body. He just lifted his upper body lazily, took a soft pillow to cushion his lower back, leaned against the back of the bed, and comfortably rested his head on his forearm.

Wei Xun heard the voice behind him, frowning and smiling slightly, and slowly turned around to look at the usually deserted face of the person under the blanket with a rare lazy expression, the turbulent hostility from last night did not leave a trace, It was like a hallucination of his own.

"Seeing that you didn't sleep well last night, I took leave of absence for you. Do you want to sleep again?"

Xiao Yi didn't answer, he didn't want to talk or move, he just felt that the current situation was good.

Familiar people are in front of your eyes, and soft words are in your ears.With a peaceful mind and a clear mind, he just wanted to stay like this.His eyes were as glued to Wei Xun as when he was a child, and he did not avoid it.

Xiao Yi's eyes on Wei Xun are always so calm, never flinching or avoiding.

It seemed to him that staring at this person was like adding clothes when he was cold and eating when he was hungry. It was a matter of course and nothing more than normal.

Wei Xun was a little embarrassed by his stare, so he turned around and looked out the window, "You know everything?"

"Know what?" Xiao Yi didn't take it seriously, "Know that you always secretly carry me back and send me out early?"

"Hmm..." Wei Xun paused.

"I know. I knew it a long time ago." Xiao Yi was much calmer than Wei Xun, "Sometimes he would wake up when he was carried back, and sometimes he would wake up when he was sent out. After going back and forth a few times, he generally understood."

"Get up when you're not asleep, it's never a good habit to stay in bed." Wei Xun was a little embarrassed by Xiao Yi's straightforwardness, and wanted to change the subject quickly, "Since I asked Wu Yin to prepare breakfast , you can use it after getting up and washing up."

During the speech, there was no sound and knocked on the door, presumably breakfast was ready, so Wei Xun took advantage of the situation.

Wuyin is the only maid beside Wei Xun, she is several years older than Wei Xun, she is a real dumb girl.

In the early years when Wei Xun went down the mountain to do business, he saw people gathered around the entrance of a medical clinic. He asked and found out that there was a dumb girl kneeling in front of the medical clinic. The dumb girl asked for medicine, but she had no money. The door refused to go.

He was kind-hearted, he paid for the dumb girl's medicine and turned around to leave, but who knew that the dumb girl refused to follow her and followed Wei Xun for several miles.

Wei Xun had no choice but to turn around and give the dumb girl a few gold leaves, but the dumb girl didn't leave after receiving the money and silver, but knelt down instead.

The two of them spent a long time making gestures and guessing, before he figured out that the dumb girl's parents had died early, and she was only dependent on her younger brother, who was seriously ill, but the dumb girl had nothing to live with. scene.

The dumb girl has no skills, and she was afraid that she would not be able to support her younger brother. Seeing that Wei Xun was kind-hearted, she begged him to take her in. She was like a cow or a horse and only wanted to have enough food to raise her younger brother.

Wei Xun was soft-hearted, but the Qinggang Sect had a rule not to accept female cultivators, so he kept the dumb girl by his side as a maid, named Wuyin, and regularly sent some silver taels to her brother at the foot of the mountain.

Wuyin has taken care of Wei Xun's daily necessities and daily necessities for many years. Usually, when Xiao Yitian was punished to go to the back mountain to chop firewood and was too late to come back to eat, Wei Xun would always ask Wuyin to secretly deliver some food.

Therefore, she and Xiao Yi are quite familiar, and she has watched Xiao Yi grow up in the past few years, so now Xiao Yi is lying on the bed in obscene clothes, and Wei Xun didn't think about hiding anything.

On the other hand, Xiao Yi on the bed was taken aback. He didn't expect that his usually gentle and polite little uncle would suddenly be so ungrateful, "Brother! I haven't worn it yet... what are you doing!"

He stuttered and shouted while pulling up the quilt indiscriminately and shrinking inside.

"It's Qi, Master, Uncle! Haha..." Wei Xun was a little embarrassed by Xiao Yi's overly direct words just now, and now he inadvertently avenged this "one arrow", and asked gloatingly with a smile , "My little Xiaoyi has grown up and knows how to be shy!"

Seeing the rare blush on Xiao Yibairuo's porcelain-bodied face, he knew it was time to restrain himself, and took advantage of the situation and said, "Okay, Silence, you put down your things and go out first."

Seeing Wuyin exit the room and close the door, Xiao Yiru was amnesty, quickly got up from the bed, got his clothes and put them on indiscriminately, as if he was afraid that the person who closed the door just now would come back soon.

After Xiao Yi cleaned up and sat down at the table to start eating, Wei Xun also walked over to Xiao Yi and sat down.

"Seventh Master Uncle will go to the back mountain for retreat these two days, so he may not have time to take care of you. You... take care of yourself." He looked at Xiao Yi's collar that was messed up just now, and stretched out his hand to straighten it, saying, "Before your birthday I'll go out and arrange the hair-tying ceremony for you."

Xiao Yi's body froze slightly, but he didn't raise his head. He buried his head in his food and said, "It's okay, you can go. Anyway, you are going to sneak out to see me at night after retreating. If you don't retreat, you won't dare to come during the day. Are you looking for me? There is no difference."

"..."

Wei Xun was choked by this sentence, and he sighed deeply, no wonder this dead child didn't grow meat, and he was following Quan Chang's heart!
