Hard to be a master

Three days later, Qing Yin came to Qingmengyuan to deliver food and clothes with ease.Guan Jingxuan had no choice but to give up doing it himself after altering three pieces of clothes. There was a patient at home and it was not convenient for him to go down the mountain to buy them, so he had to trouble Zhao Qingzhou again.It just so happened that these few days the Lingtai meeting had come to an end, and it was the most exciting time. Zhao Qingzhou didn't have time to find out what Guan Jingxuan wanted these things for, so he asked his disciples to arrange them one by one.

The weather was excellent that day, with no wind, no snow, and clear air. Guan Jingxuan rummaged through boxes and cabinets and finally found a lambskin cloak that was a bit short for him, but Xiaoliu was wearing it. Putting it on Xiaoliu, he led him to the front. The yard feeds the chickens.To be precise, Guan Jingxuan was having a great time feeding the chicks by himself. Xiao Liu just stood quietly not far behind him, looking at the chicks running around all over the ground, his eyes flickering .

Seeing his expression, Guan Jingxuan thought he was embarrassed, so she held a chick in her hand and handed it to Xiaoliu, saying, "Do you want to pet it?"

Xiao Liu looked at Guan Jingxuan and then at the chick in his hand, and suddenly swallowed.

Guan Jingxuan: "..."

"Cough." As if carelessly putting the chicken back on the grass and then using her feet to drive the chicken's butt to make it go a little further, Guan Jingxuan coughed lightly and said, "Xiaoliu... I know my cooking skills are not very good , if you really feel that the meals I cook are too difficult to swallow and satisfy your hunger, I can think of another way."

Xiao Liu heard the words and immediately withdrew his gaze from following Xiaoji, and shook his head.

Guan Jingxuan was hesitating whether to tell Xiaoliu clearly that these chicks are pets and cannot be eaten, but she heard a familiar voice coming from the door.

"Reverend Sui'an."

Guan Jingxuan followed the sound, saw that it was Qing Yin who came, and waved to him: "It's Qing Yin, come in."

Qing Yin tidied up his clothes at the door before stepping into Qingmengyuan. After putting the things Guan Jingxuan needed on the stone table in the yard, Qing Yin looked curiously at Xiaoliu who was also looking at him.

Guan Jingxuan saw that Xiaoliu didn't act as guarded against strangers this time as before, but just leaned against him, and happily introduced to the two: "I brought this child back from the mountain a few days ago. His name is Xiaoliu, and he is recuperating at my place for the time being. The things I troubled you to buy recently are for him. Xiaoliu, this elder brother is Qing Yin, a disciple of Lay Buchen and a monk of Kunlun."

Qing Yin greeted Xiao Liu very politely, but did not get a response from the other party.

Guan Jingxuan explained: "This child doesn't seem to be able to speak."

Qing Yin nodded in understanding, and then said to Guan Jingxuan: "If Master Sui'an has nothing else to do, the disciple will leave first, and the master told him to go back early."

Guan Jingxuan said with a smile: "It's hard work for you to make this trip, go."

After Qing Yin left, Guan Jingxuan put away the chickens all over the floor, took the things Qing Yin sent, and led Xiaoliu to the kitchen, when he suddenly heard something strange coming from the maple and poplar trees a few steps away sound.

"Ok?"

Guan Jingxuan stopped and looked up, and saw that the tassels on the tree were hanging motionless, without seeing anything unusual, so she turned her head and asked Xiaoliu, "Did you hear anything just now?"

Xiaoliu shook his head.

"Meow~"

Just when Guan Jingxuan suspected that she had heard it wrong, a soft and clear voice suddenly sounded from above, and Guan Jingxuan suddenly felt her heart tremble with the sound.

The two people under the tree followed the sound and looked up, only to see a black cat with only four white paws sitting steadily on the branch closest to the ground, looking down at the tree from a high position. Two people holding it.

Guan Jingxuan involuntarily held her breath, staring at the cat on the tree for a moment, as if her whole body was frozen, the hand holding Xiaoliu suddenly tightened.Xiao Liu turned his head to look at Guan Jingxuan, Guan Jingxuan quickly realized his movements, and quickly relaxed the strength in his hands, but his eyes were still glued to the black cat, and whispered to Xiao Liu: "I'm sorry, I didn't hurt you, did I? "

Xiao Liu wanted to shake his head, but found that Guan Jingxuan didn't look at him at all, so he frowned quickly.

Guan Jingxuan didn't notice his small movements, and his deliberately lowered voice couldn't hide his excitement: "Look, Xiaoliu, it's a civet!"

Xiao Liu looked up and felt that this cat was not much different from the wild cats he saw at the foot of the mountain except for the murderous look in his eyes.

At this time, Guan Jingxuan had no time to look at him at all, only the black cat on the tree was in his eyes, but the black cat glanced at him lightly and then fixed its eyes on Xiaoliu.The black cat's golden eyes are very beautiful, but its gaze is sharp and seductive, as if it is about to pounce on the target and tear the target apart in the next moment.The hostile gaze made Xiaoliu a little uncomfortable, but he didn't want to look away first, and somehow felt like avoiding first and then losing.

After one person and one cat glared at each other for a while, Guan Jingxuan finally realized that the atmosphere between them seemed to be not harmonious, and couldn't help being a little surprised.

"Xiao Liu, do you know this civet cat?"

Xiaoliu turned his head to look at Guan Jingxuan, shaking his head in denial.

"That's weird..."

As Guan Jingxuan spoke, she looked up at the branch again, only to see the back of the black cat flicking its tail and jumping up to a higher branch, before leaving nimbly.

"Ah... let's go."

Guan Jingxuan reluctantly looked away when the black cat was no longer in sight, and led Xiaoliu back to the kitchen.

"Xiao Liu, do you know that the little black cat just now is not an ordinary cat, it is a high-level spirit beast, which is not usually seen. I have lived in Kunlun for almost 30 years, but this is the first time I have seen it."

After entering the kitchen, Guan Jingxuan took out the ingredients in the bag and put them away one by one, while enthusiastically educating Xiao Liu about spirit beasts.

"High-level spirit beasts are very rare, and they are extremely difficult to tame. It is said that those unowned spirit beasts can only be seen by predestined monks. Just now I saw that the kitten looked at you very unusually, maybe it was attracted by you. It's a pity that you are not a monk, otherwise you would have a chance to subdue it and make it your spirit beast."

Compared with Guan Jingxuan's beaming eyebrows, Xiaoliu seemed a little less interested.He just sat on the sidelines and listened silently, occasionally handing things to Guan Jingxuan, with no superfluous expression on his face, showing no signs of happiness or anger.

After tidying up the ingredients, Guan Jingxuan took out a folded outer shirt from the half-shrunk bag and shook it out, compared it to Xiaoliu, and said, "It seems that my visual measurement is quite accurate, Xiaoliu, you go Try these clothes in the bedroom to see if they fit."

Xiao Liu took the clothes and hugged them to his chest but did not leave immediately, but cast a questioning look at Guan Jingxuan.Guan Jingxuan patted his head, rolled up his sleeves and said with a smile, "Senior brother said that you need to supplement your nutrition to make your injury heal faster. It just so happens that the ingredients have been delivered today, so why don't we have a bigger dinner?" Sample?"

Xiaoliu stared at Guan Jingxuan for a moment, then suddenly raised the corners of his lips almost imperceptibly, then turned around and left the kitchen quickly before Guan Jingxuan could react.

Guan Jingxuan stared blankly at the empty door—did that child just smile?

After nearly three hours, Guan Jingxuan put in a lot of effort and finally put the "rich" dinner that he had agreed on on the table.The Gastrodia elata angelica water fish soup placed in the center of the table is steaming hot and exudes a strong medicinal smell. On the left and right sides of it are a bowl of pork bone and black bean soup that is too black and a bowl of stewed black bean soup that has been completely stewed. Kidney bean pork knuckle soup with no kidney beans in sight, the rest is only a plate of stir-fried mustard greens and a bowl of boiled sweet potatoes.

After the two sat down at the table, Guan Jingxuan rubbed his nose a little embarrassedly, and said, "The taste may not be very good, and the food matching is not very reasonable... But this is already my highest level, Xiaoliu you Just make do with some food, at least it’s all food that will help you recover.”

Xiao Liu, who had already put on new clothes, looked at the dishes on the table in silence for a while, then suddenly stretched out his hand and shook the back of Guan Jingxuan's hand lightly, then picked up the bowl in front of him and began to move his chopsticks.Guan Jingxuan looked in surprise at Xiaoliu who was drinking the soup intently, her heart suddenly trembled like when she saw the civet in the afternoon, and after the trembling was over, a sense of joy arose spontaneously.

This is the first time the child has taken the initiative to have physical contact with him, right?

Sure enough, it's like raising a small animal...

Guan Jingxuan lowered her head and picked up the chopsticks in front of her, the corners of her lips raised slightly unstoppably.

Perhaps it was the impression of their mood, although the taste of the meal was still not very good, both of them ate a lot.After the meal, under Xiaoliu's silent insistence, the two cleaned up the dishes together. Guan Jingxuan was worried that he would not digest after eating too much, so she took him to the backyard for a walk to digest.

The moon hung high in the clear night sky, and every plant and tree in the courtyard was clearly visible under the moonlight. Guan Jingxuan turned his head slightly and looked at Xiaoliu walking beside him calmly.

He has been injured for half a month, and although his body is still thin, Xiaoliu looks much healthier than when he first met him, and some flesh has grown on his cheeks, which makes his already iconic face look more pleasing.Xiaoliu slightly lowered his head and looked at the road under his feet, his eyes were indifferent, as if he was walking seriously, and seemed to be wandering in the sky seriously.The cold moonlight sprinkled on him, covering him with a layer of silver light that seemed like nothing.I don't know if it's an illusion, Guan Jingxuan always feels that today's Xiaoliu looks much softer than usual

"Xiaoliu."

Looking at it, Guan Jingxuan suddenly called out.Xiaoliu heard the sound and looked over, the eyes dyed with moonlight looked clean and pure without any impurities, so beautiful that people couldn't look away.

Guan Jingxuan originally yelled this voice on a whim, but now she was amazed by these beautiful eyes, and couldn't help laughing: "When you grow up, you will definitely become the dream lover of countless girls."

There was a flash of astonishment in Xiaoliu's eyes, and then under Guan Jingxuan's narrow gaze, the astonishment turned into helplessness again.Seeing this, Guan Jingxuan smiled more heartily, Xiaoliu looked at him quietly for a moment, then suddenly lifted the corner of her lips slightly——

"Shen Ziliu."

Guan Jingxuan's laughter stopped abruptly, he stared at the child in front of him slightly, and said in shock, "You...you..."

Probably pleased by Guan Jingxuan's stunned look, the curvature of Xiaoliu's mouth became more obvious: "I mean, it's not Xiaoliu. My name is Shen Ziliu."
