"I didn't steal it."

Xin Yueming almost rolled her eyes, and regardless of Jiang Shuihan's strange gaze, she said, "You didn't steal it? Then why is my junior brother's purse on you?"

The little girl and Jiang Shuihan were startled at the same time, one of them evasively dared not look at each other, but the other said softly as before, "Is it true?"

Jiang Shuihan's voice was the same as his own, as gentle as the warm winter sun, and his gaze towards the little girl was not like Xin Yueming's occasional icy eyes, nor was it like other people's eyes with strange colors, but such eyes, but It made her even more unbearable.

"Yes." The little girl didn't bother to pretend after being exposed, and she no longer had the weak and timid look before. The arrogance in her eyes was a bit like Xin Yueming, but not as confident as his. All her disguises were like a little hedgehog. Standing up the only thorn I have, I don't care if I can poke a hole in someone's body, so childish, "So what if I stole it?"

"It's not good, but if you did something wrong, you should apologize."

The little girl thought that this young man would be like the people she met before, he would get angry, get angry, scold her, and even hit people, but she didn't expect that Jiang Shuihan would react like this, and couldn't help but freeze in place.

Jiang Shuihan's reaction was expected by Xin Yueming, he is such a gentle person, how could he be angry with an ignorant little girl.

"I'm sorry." The little girl hummed like a mosquito, and couldn't help asking curiously, "You, aren't you angry?"

Jiang Shuihan smiled, and asked her back, "Where are your parents?"

The little girl's face darkened, "Dead."

"You don't have a family, how do you live in normal times?"

She didn't want to say it at first, but facing Jiang Shuihan's calm and indifferent face and his clear and gentle eyes like her own, countless grievances and sorrows suddenly came to her heart.

Her eyes were red and she said angrily, "My parents died a long time ago, but I still have my uncle, but I didn't expect him to sell me to a brothel. I tried my best to escape halfway, but I couldn't go back, so I just I can wander outside. I," she said, she could no longer hold back her tears, and they fell on the tablecloth in front of her, "I don't want to steal money either!"

Xin Yueming was silent at the side, just staring at the tea in his hand in a daze. Jiang Shuihan saw that he didn't speak, and couldn't figure out what he meant, so he had to test, "Then, are you willing to follow us?"

"You guys." The little girl looked at him with tears in her eyes, then subconsciously looked at Xin Yueming, and said hesitantly, "Really?"

Jiang Shuihan couldn't help looking at Xin Yueming, and now two eyes were staring at him. Xin Yueming was not nervous and uncomfortable. He supported his head with one hand, tilted his head to look at the little girl, and said calmly, "Follow us without stealing or wandering. , however, we do not accept useless people."

Before Xin Yueming could finish speaking, the little girl began to introduce herself, "I'm not useless. I can clean the room, make quilts, water flowers, and cook."

"Stop." Xin Yueming reached out his hand to stop the little girl who was about to go on endlessly, and passed a few tissues by the way, and said helplessly, "I have enough money, so I don't need you to be a slave. I'm asking if you would like to learn martial arts."

The little girl paused while wiping her tears, looked at Xin Yueming blankly, then turned to look at Jiang Shuihan, and asked, "You guys, know how to fight?"

"Sigh." Xin Yueming rubbed his forehead, struggling how to explain to the little girl, "Anyone can fight, I'm talking about martial arts, are you willing to learn?"

The little girl's eyes lit up immediately, she looked at Xin Yueming with admiration, and asked, "Are those heroes who are said to be able to fly, pass through walls, fight with each other, and bring down courtyard walls? "

Jiang Shuihan couldn't help chuckling, Xin Yueming, who was twitched by the corner of his eye, stared, obediently covered half of his face and smiled secretly.After staring at Jiang Shuihan, Xin Yueming was speechless in front of this little girl. In fact, she was right in what she said, but the heroes in his heart were all elegant and invisible in their moves while talking and laughing. It was a fight and it was still booming. Is this a fight or a thunderstorm?

"Well, we are members of the Xiaoyao faction. You must have heard of the Xiaoyao faction."

"Oh!" The little girl nodded and said, "I've heard that they are very powerful."

Xin Yueming breathed a sigh of relief, our sect is quite famous, and being famous just saves some trouble.

She glanced at Xin Yueming and Jiang Shuihan suspiciously, and said, "But, are you really from the Happy School?"

Seeing her like this, Xin Yueming suddenly remembered the scene where Jiang Shuihan pretended to be punched by the other party in order to avoid trouble.The corner of his mouth twitched. It's useless to explain this kind of thing, it depends on whether she believes it or not.

"But it's also possible that you're just getting started, and haven't studied for long." The little girl said to herself, but she helped Xin Yueming and Jiang Shuihan get back together. Xin Yueming snorted and was too lazy to talk.

"But, why don't you have swords?" The little girl asked again, "Generally, heroes have to carry swords when they walk, otherwise wouldn't they lose a part of the fight?" Those heroes who have passed by can wear swords, and they look proud.

Although Jiang Shuihan and Xin Yueming had learned swordsmanship, when Jianghu taught them to practice with wooden swords, they naturally did not have swords.But seeing the little girl's curious appearance, she asked one after another, and it was really troublesome to explain.Xin Yueming was just about to find an excuse to sneak in, but heard Jiang Shuihan speak.

"We don't have a sword. As you said, we are not good at learning, and we haven't even fought the young master before. The sword is a sharp weapon. It can hurt others as well as ourselves. Only in the hands of heroes that everyone respects can we use it to our full potential. Its true power. It is easy for people like us to hold it in our hands, and it is easy to hurt others and ourselves, so it is better to carry it less.”

The little girl nodded ignorantly, "Oh." Maybe they are different from the heroes she met before.

Xin Yueming was not happy when Jiang Shuihan said that they were not good at learning, but seeing that he was bluffing the little girl for the time being, he didn't care about it with his junior.

"Learning martial arts is very tiring, are you willing?"

Facing Jiang Shuihan's gentle questioning, the little girl thought for a while, then nodded and said, "I have nowhere to go anyway, I'm just tired. Can it be harder than being sold into a brothel?"

Seeing the little girl agreeing, Jiang Shuihan's smile deepened, and he asked, "Then can you tell me your name?"

"My name is Qianqian." The little girl lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then said, "Can I have the same last name as you?"

"Yes, I also have my master's surname. If you agree, then I will call you Qianqian from now on, okay?"

"Ah."

"flourishing."

Seeing Jiang Shuihan's serious face, Jiang Qianqian hurriedly said seriously, "I'm here."

"We'll take you to see Master later. You don't have to worry about eating, drinking, or lodging when you join the Xiaoyao Sect. But I hope that in the future, you will never lie to others and steal from others."

"kindness."

"If you may meet today's young master in the future, you must sincerely apologize to him."

"Me." Jiang Qianqian bit her lip, lowered her head and hesitated.

"If you do something wrong, you must be responsible for your actions."

"Okay, I remember."

In fact, she didn't quite understand it. From her point of view, this matter had already ended with a bank note that Xin Yueming handed over to the other party, and they should have no connection anymore.However, since Jiang Shuihan said it, she will do it. After all, they will not hurt her.

After dinner, Xin Yueming and Jiang Shuihan took Jiang Qianqian to Jianghu.And Jiang Hu was thinking about whether the money would be enough, and Xin Yueming picked up another apprentice for him. Did they really think that the Xiaoyao faction was an orphanage?But after hearing Jiang Qianqian's experience, what else can he say.

Forget it, it's not bad for her to eat, and besides, girls don't have to study martial arts so exhaustingly. If she is willing to study hard, he will teach him well. If she is not willing, then just learn to defend herself.

On the head of willow branches on the moon, people make an appointment after dusk.Although Xin Yueming and Jiang Shuihan had no agreement, they tacitly chose to take a walk by the lake in the backyard of the inn where they stayed.Xin Yueming was bored and didn't want to stay in the house, but Jiang Shuihan had something on his mind. He didn't know if it was a good thing to rescue Jiang Qianqian casually, let alone if it was right. arrive.It was just such a meal that Jiang Shuihan remembered in his heart.

If Jiang Hu knew that his expression made Jiang Shuihan think that he had a problem with Jiang Qianqian, he would definitely cry to death.He was just calculating how much it would cost to have an extra mouth, and he didn't allow the money fan to feel bad?

The two circled around the lake together, but they were in different directions, so they didn't meet at first, and they bumped into one place after the circle.It's okay to meet each other, everyone circles around the lake together.Jiang Shuihan was full of thoughts, and he was not very willing to take the initiative to speak, which made Xin Yueming beside him so curious that he scratched his heart.Jiang Shuihan had never been so worried, even when he saw Xin Yueming not wanting to practice swords, and going down the mountain to go to the gambling house lazily, he had never felt so worried.

When the two of them circled the small lake three or four times, Xin Yueming couldn't bear it anymore, cleared his throat, and asked, pretending to be an enthusiastic senior brother, "Senior brother, tell me what's on your mind." Listen, don't be bored in your heart and make yourself uncomfortable."

It sounded high-sounding, but he didn't have any good intentions. He was just in a panic and wanted to find something to say. Otherwise, what would he do if he just walked around in circles? Didn't he like donkeys that kicked their legs, and he always grinds dough in circles like this?Not to mention that they are not donkeys anymore, even donkeys can't grind any flour.

I thought that Jiang Shuihan would change the subject, but he didn't expect him to look more serious after hearing this, and asked, "Little senior brother, is it okay for me to bring Qianqian back?"

He was going to call Xin Yueming the second senior brother, but Xin Yueming was three years younger than him, and it was not obvious at the time. Two years later, his body finally caught up with the progress of a normal teenager. Call the little brother.But he didn't expect that there would be a junior sister so soon.I asked Jiang Qianqian, and it turns out that she is only one year younger than Xin Yueming, a veritable little junior sister.

Xin Yueming thought it was a big problem, she was like a deflated ball, she no longer had the previous interest, and said helplessly, "You think too much, that little girl, bring it back as soon as you bring it back, but it's just that you have to open your mouth to eat. Didn't say anything."

"Master didn't say anything. However, I don't think Master is very happy to see us bring Qianqian back today."

Xin Yueming stopped and looked at Jiang Shuihan quietly.Jiang Shuihan was startled, and stopped with him, the young man in front of him had a smile on his lips, both joyful and helpless.

"Xiaohan, when I brought you to Qingshan, Master looked like this when he saw you for the first time." Xin Yueming reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Does Master treat you with contempt or even disregard?"

"No." Jianghu has never ignored him, and it can even be said that he is better than the elder brother. Thinking of this, Jiang Shuihan shook his head, with guilt on his face, "I think too much."

"Actually, I don't blame you. After all, you picked up Qianqian." Xin Yueming joked, "I don't know if Qianqian will pick up the younger brother or our brother-in-law."

Hearing this, Jiang Shuihan couldn't help but smile, "Actually, it's still my fault, I should discuss it with Master in advance."

"Okay, okay. Such a small matter makes you worry so much? If there is any major event in the future, don't you bother to death?" Xin Yueming said with a smile, "The ancients said to simplify the complicated, but when it comes to you, how can it be simplified and complicated?" gone?"

I have to say that Xin Yueming's enlightenment was quite useful, and the five master and apprentice started their return journey early the next morning.When he arrived at Qingshan, Jiang Qianqian's smile was brighter and more sincere than before.Jiang Hu was also unambiguous, and asked Jiang Qianqian what he wanted, and took her into the ancestral hall to meet the masters.In this way, the Xiaoyao faction finally took on the appearance of a big faction.

At least, the crowd is quite lively.

In the past, the green hills were full of elders, Jianghu himself didn't care much about the environment, even Jiang Tianyi and Jiang Shuihan didn't care too much.Jiang Shuihan is used to wandering, but there is nothing wrong with it. Although Jiang Tianyi has the character of an old lady, he only serves snacks while cleaning and cooking. He can't handle more things alone.

As for Xin Yueming, although he was a young master, he went down the mountain to the town to enjoy himself. As for his own room, it was simple, with no decorations except the bed, table and chairs. After all, there were no servants on the mountain to tidy up for him.

Since Jiang Qianqian came, the elders no longer dare to be careless. The clothes must be washed in time, the room must be tidied up in time, and even the open space for sword practice in the yard must be swept away in time. No food to eat.I have to say that Jiang Qianqian's cooking skills are much better than Jiang Tianyi's. Although it's a bit embarrassing to ask a little girl to cook for them, no one knows how to cook except her and Jiang Tianyi, and she doesn't want to eat Jiang Tianyi herself. That's the only way to do it.

Although everyone knows how to do things like cleaning, but everyone is used to idleness, and it is too difficult to do it every day, not to mention being so tired after practicing swords every day.Jiang Qianqian has a different way of dealing with them. Jiang Shuihan is gentle and easy-going, so there is nothing to worry about. Although Jiang Tianyi and Jianghu are lazy, as long as she acts obediently and pretends to be tired, it will be fine.

The most difficult to deal with is Xin Yueming.

When she was angry, he pretended to be dumb; when she acted coquettishly, he pretended to be stupid; when she pretended to be tired, he pretended to be blind; when she cried, he pretended to be deaf; when she deliberately refused to cook for him, he went down to the town to eat; she pretended to forget to wash his clothes , he just throws it away when it gets dirty. Anyway, the young master is very rich, so just buy a new one.

The relationship between the two is endless, but Jiang Shuihan can't stop Xin Yueming, can Jiang Qianqian stop it?Although she didn't know the result herself, like Jiang Shuihan, she had perseverance.

Fighting protracted battles is Jiang Qianqian's forte, but Xin Yueming, the always lazy young master, can't do it.Especially when there are senior brothers and masters around him for comparison, within a month, he couldn't take it anymore, so he tidied up the room and cleaned it by himself.Otherwise, there is nothing to eat.Although it is possible to go down the mountain to the town to eat, but going back and forth is also very tiring, how could Xin Yueming be willing to eat like this every day.
