After being pulled up by the master

In the next few days, apart from going around the main hall every morning, Xue Si stayed with Xue Wendi in the bamboo house.

Fortunately, Xue Wendi was still doing well, and the situation was getting better and better every day. After seven days, Xue Si replaced him with a bamboo puppet so that he could walk freely.

Xue Wendi stood by the basin of clear water, looked left and right, put his hips on his hips and said, "Master, I always feel like a grasshopper."

"why?"

"Slender and long and deflated."

Xue Wendi stretched his legs, thinking that his master's skills were not good enough, so it would be better if he did it better, so Xue Si smiled: "Let's make use of it, you can recover like this in seven days, it's a miracle."

Xue Wendi listened, walked to his feet, and hugged his trousers: "Master, can I go and see myself?"

"See your own bloody horror?"

Xue Si teased him, and Xue Wendi immediately shook his head again: "Forget it, I feel good about myself, if this is shattered, I will be so sad!"

Xue Si smiled: "It's just you who are poor."

Seeing him smile, Xue Wendi was also happy: "Master, can I go out for a walk? I've been on the window sill for seven or eight days, and I'm so bored."

"There are often wild cats in the sect. You are not afraid of being taken away, and it is not impossible."

"what?"

Xue Wendi gestured, and suddenly became full of confidence, "Don't worry, I can beat it."

"is it?"

Xue Si didn't stop her, but gently opened the door, "Then go out for a walk, and remember to come back before dinner."

"Uh-huh."

Xue Wendi nodded again and again, walked to the door, slammed the door open again, and looked inside at his master, "Master, don't you want to go out with me?"

"Don't go."

Xue Si turned his back and walked towards the bookshelf. Xue Wendi knew that he had other things to do, so he said, "Master, I will bring you a bunch of fresh flowers when I come back. You are waiting for me."

"Go."

Xue Si didn't reject his proposal, so Xue Wendi sneaked out the door, leaning against the corner, and slipping away quickly.

The sun is shining outside, which is a good time to practice swords.

Xue Wendi happily slid down the steps outside the main hall, with the mountain wind blowing, itchy ears and heart.He thought, where should we start shopping?Master took him to the school training ground yesterday, the place is so big, the whole sect must be very big, you can't finish it in one day, right?

Xue Wendi thought about it, and then felt that he was a senior brother now, why don't he go and watch the juniors practice swords first, so that he can prepare for it in the future?In order not to be laughed at by them, it is useless to be a direct disciple without a real talent.

After making up his mind, Xue Wendi swaggered to the school training ground first.

He didn't know where the juniors would be at the moment, the footprints on the ground were intermittent, they went their separate ways, and couldn't find it, so he went to a familiar place to try his luck first, and, according to the temper of that junior brother, he should be able to review the game.

Xue Wendi hummed a little tune, walked around the big gourd, climbed the winding mountain road, and walked towards the splendid mountain scenery. In a trance, he seemed to be a young man wandering wantonly in Suochun Valley.

"What kind of flowers should I bring to Master?"

He thought, although the sea of ​​flowers is not always there in Suochun Valley, and the seasons are always spring, but there is also a season of scenery in each season, the sun and the moon rotate, and the years are different.What Xue Si likes most is the cluster of wisterias that grow like waterfalls on the cliffs.

"I don't know if there are any here."

Xue Wendi talked to himself, and arrived at the training ground in a blink of an eye, and heard the sound of sword practice from afar.

Sure enough, Fu Ji and Cao Ruoyu were on the field.

Taking advantage of the time when they were concentrating on sword practice, Xue Wendi sneaked to the back of the stone pillar and waited and watched.

According to the position on the field, Cao Ruoyu should be in the position of the master, but his foundation is relatively weak. Although he can also catch Fu Ji's moves, it is obviously more difficult, and his position is also a bit slow.

Xue Wendi looked at it for a while, and gradually became anxious: "Go to the right, Fourth Junior Brother."

Cao Ruoyu walked to the left and almost got Fu Ji's sword. After barely blocking it, he staggered and walked to the right again. Xue Wendi looked at the thigh as thick as a pinky finger and said, "This move should be proactive, and counterattack the enemy. , the more you hide, the less chance you will come back in the future."

Cao Ruoyu followed Fu Ji through a few more tricks, but he, who was already at a disadvantage, was finally defeated and chose to admit defeat.

"Second senior brother, you are really good, I have to go back and practice again."

He was really frustrated, but Fu Ji reminded him a few words, such as not dodging, but taking the right position, and winning by surprise, Cao Ruoyu suddenly understood: "Mmm, thank you, Second Senior Brother."

"My second junior brother has two brushes."

Xue Wendi was also happy when he heard that.

Fu Ji said to the juniors outside the arena: "Which juniors want to counterattack, please come forward."

As soon as the words fell, several young men in Tsing Yi walked out of the crowd.

Seeing this, Xue Wendi pulled out a pea-sized pebble from the grass and held it in his arms.

"Second Junior Brother, Senior Brother is here to teach you today, what are your shortcomings?"

After watching two games, Xue Wendi got a good idea of ​​Fu Ji's background. This kid is still too rigid. Although he told Cao Ruoyu to adapt to the situation, he himself did it routinely, no better than Cao Ruoyu. How flexible.

Although Xue Wendi said that his soul was trapped in a small figure made of bamboo, he was good at spiritual thinking and immortal spirit, and it was more than enough to push a pebble the size of a mung bean.

He saw the timing, and hit the little junior brother's sword steadily and accurately, forcing the sword to change direction. His strength and the weight of the sword itself all pressed on Fu Ji's sword, shaking the opponent away. Three feet away.

Fu Ji was stunned for a moment, and the younger brother who had never let go of the sword but didn't know how to make a move was also stunned.

He apologized again and again: "Second Senior Brother, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

Fu Ji came back to his senses, and smiled: "You did a good job, and it's too late for senior brother to be happy for you. This move of yours awakened senior brother. The last time I asked master for advice, he didn't make a move, just walked around that The Dao Sword Mark, responds to all changes with the same, now I think about it, just to test how unexpected I can be."

For those who practice swordsmanship, success depends on diligence, but to achieve the Tao, one needs to be thoroughly enlightened.

When Fu Ji suddenly realized that his master had accepted him as an apprentice, he was very happy when he said this sincere sentence: "Keep going."

"what?"

The little junior was stunned, very embarrassed, "Second senior brother, actually I didn't make that move just now, it was because something suddenly hit the edge of my sword, causing it to deflect from its original direction."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned.

Cao Ruoyu reacted quickly at this moment: "Could it be that there are some experts behind our backs to guide us?"

But this expert, looking at the whole mountain, who else is there besides Master?

Xue Wendi hid behind the stone pillar, not daring to vent his breath. Fortunately, that junior was too young to point out his location, so they gave up after a hasty circling to no avail.

Fu Ji decided to go to see his master, and Cao Ruoyu followed him.wind

Xue Wendi, on the other hand, embarked on his journey of looking for flowers alone after everyone had dispersed.

At sunset, he finally came back from a stroll carrying a cluster of flourishing orchids, and carefully placed them under the window. After a closer look, he had completely uprooted the orchids, and he must have thought about transplanting them.

Xue Wendi counted, no more, no less, exactly twelve.

He shook the mud spots on his body and squeezed in through the crack of the door: "Master, I'm back."

"Ah."

Xue Si was sitting on the edge of the table reading, with a basin of clear water at his feet.

Xue Wendi walked to the basin with ease, plunged into it, and took a bath in it.

Xue Si lowered his head and glanced at him: "Isn't it a hooligan to take a bath in front of Master naked?"

When Xue Wendi said that, he panicked, but looking at the emerald green bamboo figurine in the water, he dispelled those shameful thoughts: "I didn't wear any clothes, and now I'm still a little grasshopper."

Xue Si smiled, and lightly tapped his desk with his index finger: "After taking a shower, come up quickly, my little grasshopper."

"Hey, good."

Xue Wendi washed himself, and climbed onto the desk with the table legs in his arms, leaving behind a wet spot of water.Xue Si still swept him with the dog's tail grass, got rid of the cold water, and then took a small piece of clothing from the shelf.

"Put it on, and be more human."

Xue Wendi looked at the plain white clothes, and was suddenly amused: "Master, did you just cut some pieces of cloth from some old clothes of yours and sew them for me?"

"You know this again?"

"Of course, what is the ancestral motto of our Suochun Valley? Hard work and simplicity!"

Xue Wendi put on the little clothes with a smile, and then raised his hand to smell it. It was clear that there was a familiar incense on it, which was faint and lingering for years.

Xue Si smiled lightly: "What did you do today?"

"No reason, I went to point out my two junior brothers." Xue Wendi complacently said, "Mr. Fu went down to find you today, right? If he works harder, he will be able to enlighten, but Junior Brother Cao, it will take a while .”

"Well, he came to see me, but I didn't see him."

Xue Si half propped his chin, dangling the dog's tail grass with one hand, Xue Wendi was a little strange: "Why don't you see it?"

"You have pointed him out for me, why should I see you again?"

"Well—" Xue Wendi fell into deep thought, "After that, I will not only have to boil water for cooking, grow vegetables and flowers, but also be responsible for raising children."

"Yes, but everything is up to you."

Xue Si's eyes were full of tenderness, but it seemed that there were some other emotions hidden.

He said softly, "You need to get better soon, Xiaolou."

Xue Wendi nodded: "Definitely!"

As he spoke, he suddenly felt something was wrong, "Wait, I can't wear this dress yet."

Xue Si said nothing, watching him take off his clothes, fold them neatly, put them aside, climb to the edge of the table, hang his hands on the edge, and swing down.

"My flowers haven't been planted yet."

He muttered, and squeezed out through the crack of the door again.

Xue Si got up slowly, stood by the window, leaned slightly, and saw Xue Wendi digging the soil.Although he is only a little bamboo man, he is flexible and even made himself a shovel out of bamboo slices.

The sun was setting and the afterglow was shining in the small courtyard. Xue Wendi was planting his flowers. In Xue Si's eyes, he recalled the days long ago.

"Xiaolou, where did you find this flower? I've never seen it before."

"It's easy to find. Starting from the training ground, go east and then south. There is a forest, and there is a stream in the forest. This is what grows beside the stream."

Xue Wendi wanted to describe it to him in detail as much as possible, but he couldn't describe it due to the lack of language. Xue Si smiled: "Then you are very capable, and you can come back by yourself after running so far."

"That's because you are here, Master."

Xue Wendi answered as a matter of course, Xue Si was slightly stunned, but didn't say anything.
