Sunny Vientiane

Because Jianghu decided to leave for Qingshan in the morning, Xin Yueming hurried back to the yard after breakfast with his elder brother.It's just that I didn't expect that when I entered the door, I ran into Jiang Shuihan practicing sword.A few bamboo leaves were scattered under his feet, and the wind of the sword fluttered, but the scenery around him seemed to be still, unaffected in the slightest.Xin Yueming just moved his feet and was about to walk forward, but he didn't expect that there was an invisible aura in the air in front of him, which forced him to take no further steps towards the courtyard gate.

The bamboo shadow sweeps the steps and remains motionless, and the moon wheel pierces the swamp water without a trace.

If it was said that Jiang Shuihan was just talking on paper before, then he is already superb and comprehended the essence of it now.Whether it's the sword move or his state of mind at this moment, it's completely different from when Xin Yueming left yesterday.It seems that after this night, Jiang Shuihan is no longer confused, and can finally feel relieved.

But in this way, there is no way to enter the door smoothly.

Xin Yueming looked around, squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, then simply took a few steps back, and then turned over and climbed up the courtyard wall with a run-up.Although he hadn't climbed the wall for a long time, Xin Yueming was still very familiar with this skill. He wiped the dust off his hands, found a comfortable position and sat down with his chin on his hands, watching Jiang Shuihan practicing his sword in the yard.

In the early morning, the entire villa seemed to have just woken up from a deep sleep. The warm sunlight fell on the body lazily, except for the occasional bird chirping, only the sound of swords slicing in the air remained silent.Xin Yueming only felt that this sound was more pleasant than Huang Ying's singing, and it couldn't be more pleasing to the eye when paired with Jiang Shuihan's skilled and elegant movements. For a while, he was fascinated.

After practicing the last movement, Jiang Shuihan withdrew his sword and wiped off the sweat on his forehead. When he looked up, he caught a glimpse of Xin Yueming who was a gentleman on the beam. He couldn't help laughing and said, "When did you come back? It's not like the main gate is open, and no one has arrested you." , What are you doing climbing the wall?"

Xin Yueming raised her eyebrows, jumped down the courtyard wall lightly, and happened to land in front of Jiang Shuihan, only one step away, and the two were close to each other.He didn't think the distance was a bit ambiguous, so he stretched out his hand and lifted Jiang Shuihan's thin hair that was stuck to sweat on his forehead, curled up the corner of his mouth and smiled, "Why, isn't there a gatekeeper in front of me who won't let me in?"

He originally wanted to tease Jiang Shuihan on purpose, but he didn't expect Jiang Shuihan's face to change suddenly, and he bowed his head and took a step back.

"I didn't lock the door to prevent you from entering." Jiang Shuihan avoided his gaze, looked down at the ground in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "It's almost time. I'm going to wake up Master and Senior Brother."

"Eh."

Xin Yueming stared blankly at the back of him leaving, with a look of bewilderment on his face, which soon turned into helplessness.I'm afraid he just practiced sword too much just now, he forgot the things around him for a while, and then remembered that his junior sister was poisoned and passed out, so he felt uncomfortable.

But he didn't know that for Jiang Shuihan, his feelings for him were more difficult to face than the guilt for Jiang Qianqian.

Jiang Shuihan never expected that Xin Yueming would jump directly in front of him from the wall, let alone that Xin Yueming would reach out to brush his hair. The gesture was ambiguous and frivolous, as if Xin Yueming touched not only the ends of his hair, but also His racing heart.The thought that he had been crazily suppressed in his heart was touched like this, and it changed from calm to throbbing, with ripples rippling outward, unable to stop or stop.

But in the end, a little bit of rationality overcame the sensibility of running off, Jiang Shuihan abruptly stopped his heartbeat like a wild horse, and forced himself to leave seemingly calmly.Although, it could just be that he thinks he left peacefully.

Jianghu hurried back to Qingshan with a few apprentices, it was already late autumn.On the way, news came that the first three of the Flower Appreciation Festival were released, among which Xin Heqing was the most popular, gaining the favor and attention of all martial arts sects.Xin Yueming was very happy for his brother, but also felt disappointed that Jiang Tianyi failed to participate in the rest of the competition. After all, with Jiang Tianyi's skill, it is not difficult to enter the top three.

Even Jiang Shuihan felt sorry for Jiang Tianyi after hearing about it.Only Jianghu, who is the master, didn't say a word to the others as if he didn't hear the news.But Jiang Shuihan and Xin Yueming didn't know that Jianghu also felt sorry for Jiang Tianyi's abandonment, and even once persuaded Jiang Tianyi to continue to participate in the third day's flower viewing party.

Just the night before leaving, Jiang Tianyi pulled Li Bai into the house, and stood guard in front of Jiang Qianqian's bed, but half of his mind was still on Jiang Shuihan outside the house. He was worried that Jiang Shuihan would become a dead end when he was alone. In order to unlock the acupoints for Li Bai.

Jiang Hu went to another room to wash his face, but he didn't expect to see an enlarged face winking at him when he entered the door.The only thing missing is the shape of claws and teeth, which can be released as a mascot for the Ghost Festival. It is estimated that even lonely ghosts can be scared by him to go to Huangquan Road.

Jianghu, who was still a little sleepy, suddenly came back to his senses, even dazed, and it took a long time before he came back to understand what was happening to Li Bai in front of him.Li Bai was overjoyed to see him react, he had never expected so much from this uncle.It's a pity that after Jianghu woke up, he regarded him as air, and walked around him without even looking at him, and walked towards Jiang Tianyi who was sitting by the bed in a daze.

Hearing Jianghu's deliberately heavy footsteps, Jiang Tianyi realized that Master was standing behind him, and quickly stood up and said, "Master."

"Yeah." Jiang Hu nodded, sat on a chair next to him, glanced at Jiang Qianqian who was lying on the bed with a peaceful expression, and couldn't help persuading, "Tomorrow we will leave for Qingshan, have you made up your mind?"

Jiang Tianyi sat by the bed, and after a while he realized that Master was talking about him, shook his head and said, "Master, you don't need to persuade me."

"I'm not trying to persuade you." Jianghu looked up at him, as calm and indifferent as usual, but as solemn as usual, "I just hope you can seriously consider it, after all, it's about your future." He didn't want Jiang Tianyi regretted it.

Jiang Tianyi raised the corners of his mouth, showing a clear smile, "I don't need such a future."

Jiang Hu was startled, and he continued, "After experiencing today's incident, I discovered many problems, problems that we usually ignore unintentionally. Master, we have grown up, and we have to face many things by ourselves. I want to escort us as before, but I believe that Xiao Han and Yue Ming don't want you to go on like this."

"I'm just getting ready now. Xiaohan and Yueming are still not capable enough to support the Xiaoyao faction. If I continue to participate in the flower viewing party at this time and finally enter the top three, it will be quite beneficial to me personally, but such a situation Come on, many malicious eyes will notice the Xiaoyao faction. At that time, Master will be under a lot of pressure, and I may not be qualified to bear everything for you."

"I just hope that when the Xiaoyao Sect becomes so strong, not only the master, but also Xiaohan, Yueming, me, and I will support the sect. I think Xiaohan and Yueming can also understand what I mean."

Jiang Tianyi's gentle gaze stayed on Jiang Qianqian's face, showing worry and sadness, "Qianqian was injured and poisoned, and I, as a big brother, can't do anything. I don't even know what to do to fight for Qianqian. Although Ming Yueming barely passed the test, but next time he encounters this kind of situation, he may not be able to encounter the Xiao family's situation. As a senior brother, I still have a long way to go."

Jiang Hu smiled slightly, Jiang Tianyi's words warmed his heart like a stove.To be honest, he was completely unprepared when he became the head of the Xiaoyao Sect. Even when Jiang Shuihan and Xin Yueming picked up Jiang Qianqian and came back, he was not ready to take care of his apprentices, and completely let the four apprentices be like small trees on a mountain. grow freely.

He didn't expect that his apprentice didn't grow into the crooked neck tree in the back mountain by accident. As an irresponsible master, he didn't know whether he should be gratified or ashamed.

"Although I haven't studied anything seriously except martial arts, but for Qianqian, Xiaohan and Yueming, I will work hard." Jiang Tianyi turned to look at Jianghu, with hope in his eyes, "Master, teach me."

The smile on Jiang Hu's face froze slightly, "Heh, heh, what do you teach?"

He really didn't know what to teach. Back then, his master was wandering around all day long, and after teaching him all the martial arts of the Xiaoyao Sect, there was no news of him until his uncle brought back the ashes of his master, and he succeeded as the head of the Xiaoyao Sect. In this position, several younger brothers and younger sisters left Qingshan.So he taught these four apprentices completely according to his master's teachings. From another perspective, he did not neglect his duty, because he really didn't know what the master should teach the apprentices besides martial arts.

As for those poems and songs, they were old things dug out from the bookstore because Xin Yueming liked them.Jiang Tianyi and Jiang Shuihan learned from Xin Yueming while practicing martial arts, that's all.

Jiang Tianyi didn't know why, but looking at Jianghu's expression, he didn't seem to be fake. He guessed casually, "Could it be that our Happy Sect has no other assets except Qingshan?"

The smile on the corner of Jianghu's mouth collapsed, and he said with a stiff face, "Even Qingshan is rented from Jiang's family, what do you think?"

"What?"

Standing motionless at the door, Li Bai, who was completely ignored by the master and apprentice, looked mournful from the corners of his eyes and brows to the bottom of his feet, so at least give him a seat.Fortunately, Jianghu remembered that Libai was still useful, so he got up and relieved him, otherwise he might have to wait for Jiang Shuihan to return to the house early in the morning before he could move.

Back in Qingshan, Jiang Tianyi truly believed that the Xiaoyao faction was so poor that they couldn't get rid of it until Jianghu took out the yellowed lease contract from the box under the table of the ancestral hall.If it weren't for the occasional help from the Shanxia Escort and Xin Heqing, I'm afraid they would have gone to the Northwest Wind long ago.

And most importantly, looking at the date on the contract, the lease contract will expire in another seven or eight years.If the Jiang family doesn't want to rent Qingshan to the Xiaoyao faction, they won't even be able to stay in Qingshan in the future.

What is the difference between this and the gang of beggars who live in no fixed place?

Jiang Tianyi didn't dare to tell Jiang Shuihan and Xin Yueming about this matter. After all, Jiang Shuihan had finally figured it out. He no longer felt guilty about Jiang Qianqian and stopped moving forward because of Jiang Qianqian. He will definitely volunteer to ask his elder brother to borrow money to renew the contract with the Jiang family, which is not what he wants to see.

The green leaves all over the mountain before leaving had turned deep yellow at this time, and most of them fell all over the ground, only a few sporadic ones were still firm on the branches and stalemate with the cold wind.

Jiang Hu didn't care about things, and when he came back, he pulled Li Bai into the temporarily converted pharmacy from the warehouse, studying the prescription for awakening Jiang Qianqian.The heavy responsibility of cooking returned to Jiang Tianyi. He went hunting in the back mountain and found some tonic by the way, preparing to replenish Jiang Qianqian's body.Jiang Shuihan and Xin Yueming were dismissed by Jianghu because they were useless, and rushed back to their respective rooms to wait for dinner.

Jiang Qianqian was lying in his room and couldn't wake up. If Xin Yueming used to be annoyed by her voice urging him to clean and tidy up the room, then how much he misses her fussy grimaces that he sometimes makes fun of.Maybe this is the family, the more you dislike it, the more you miss the family you like.

After Xin Yueming returned to the room, he sat by the window for a long time in a daze, waiting for a gust of cold wind to cover his face with dead leaves, and then he gradually recovered.With a secret sigh, he raised his hand to remove the dead leaf stuck on the tip of his nose, and took a look.The sadness in my heart that was forced into a corner and was about to be ignored and forgotten, began to show off with the memory revived by the scene in front of me.

But when she was very young, Xin Yueming already understood that unnecessary sentimentality is just a waste of time and feelings.He got up and went out, ready to go around the yard to kill unnecessary injuries.

The yard has not been cleaned for a long time, and the dead leaves make a crisp sound under their feet.Although Jianghu asked Yuan Qing to help take care of it before he left, Yuan Qing only occasionally sent someone to look at it.But even though the green hills are as desolate as deserts, as long as they come back here, their hearts will be much more stable. Xin Yueming feels that the vacancy in his heart seems to be filled by something, a little sour and swollen.

As soon as he opened the door and walked into the yard, he raised his eyes and saw a person standing under a tree cleaning fallen leaves. He didn't need to guess that this lost figure that matched the bleak scene belonged to Jiang Shuihan.Perhaps sensing that someone was coming, Jiang Shuihan turned around and looked at Xin Yueming unexpectedly.Inexplicably, Xin Yueming sensed an embarrassing smell in the air.

"you."

The two spoke at the same time, paused at the same time, and said in unison, "Me."

Jiang Shuihan smiled helplessly, but the smile was too stiff, it was better not to smile, "You go ahead."

Although he had thought through a lot, he couldn't find a way to relieve his feelings for Xin Yueming.In other words, he no longer knew how to face Xin Yueming.

"I have nothing to say." Xin Yueming didn't notice Jiang Shuihan's strangeness. He touched the tip of his nose and looked down at the dead branches on the ground. He wanted to ignore the embarrassment in his heart, but suddenly remembered that Jiang Shuihan was practicing sword You can't help but say, "By the way, I saw the other day that you have already practiced the bamboo shadow sweeping steps."

"En." Jiang Shuihan nodded, clenched the broom in his hand, and said in a deep voice, "I can't stand still like this, otherwise, how can I protect you."

He didn't want what happened to Jiang Qianqian to happen in front of him again, especially Xin Yueming. If something happened to him, Jiang Shuihan didn't know what he would do.

Xin Yueming suddenly raised her eyes to look at Jiang Shuihan, with surprise in her eyes, "You."

In fact, in his opinion, Jiang Shuihan had worked hard enough.He was worried that if Jiang Shuihan persisted, he would stretch himself too tightly.

Jiang Shuihan took a deep breath to subdue the tension in his heart, and said slowly, "Qianqian's poisoning made me realize the gap between myself and reality. At first, I didn't think about what my future plans are, but now I want to understand. I just want to Protect the entire Qingshan, protect you, and never let anyone get hurt or sad."

He said every word, devoutly and seriously, as if telling the faith in his heart.

The surprise in Xin Yueming's eyes slowly turned into understanding and support, and he smiled slightly, "That's fine."

Seeing Xin Yueming's natural expression, Jiang Shuihan breathed a sigh of relief, his palms were wet, and his heartbeat in his chest was as loud as a drum.Only he himself knew how solemn and nervous he was when he said those two sentences just now.This is not only his wish, but also his goal, the future that must be achieved.

When he said these words, he kept restraining himself, for fear that he would not be able to help but say all the words in his heart when his heart beat faster.This is just a feeling that he can't and can't say. Although the current world is not as restrained and conservative as before, the decent families still belittle or even slander secretly.

What Xin Yueming thought he didn't know.He only knew that he didn't want Xin Yueming to hate him, even if he didn't say it for the rest of his life, he didn't want Xin Yueming to stay away from him and look down on him.

Autumn goes to winter, and the green hills are covered with snow.Even the muddle-headed rivers and lakes in the past have gradually discovered that even if there is no Jiang Qianqian yelling for Xin Yueming to get up in the morning, Xin Yueming has not missed the morning class; no matter how thick the snow is at night, the path has been swept clean Clean, don't worry about accidentally slipping when walking.

For the first time, Jianghu, who had always been irresponsible and shameless, felt guilty towards his apprentices, and even when teaching, he was a little more serious.And he divided some of his concern between Jiang Shuihan and Xin Yueming, and Li Bai, who had been stared at without human rights, had more freedom, and liked to go to Xin Yueming's courtyard when he had nothing to do.

Before Libai followed Jianghu to leave Mujin Villa, he specially asked Yaotong to deliver a letter to his master.But after such a long time, he finally realized the reality that Master would not come to Qingshan to save him in person.There is nothing on this green hill, and the young master Li Bai who is used to enjoying it naturally despises this and that, and Xin Yueming, who also has the master's life, naturally becomes a place for him to sit and have nothing to do.

Who let Xin Yueming have books and countless gadgets?

The author has something to say:

The bamboo shadow sweeps the steps and remains motionless, and the moon wheel pierces the swamp water without a trace.

The water flow is always in a hurry, and the situation is always quiet, although the flowers fall frequently, I feel free.

I really didn't find the title of the poem, so I don't know what it's called.

I really feel guilty for using this poem as the name of the move. If it was changed to the period of the second illness, I would be able to come up with a lot of exaggerated names, haha.As for martial arts, I feel that it is better to create by myself, but unfortunately I don’t have the ability, alas.
