After being pulled up by the master

When they arrived at the bamboo house, Xue Si put the sleeping Xue Wendi into the basin of clear water, washed him, dried him, and put him back on the small bed.After finishing all this, Xue Sicai went to take a bath and changed clothes, and sat at the desk with loose hair to read books.

Xue Wendi suddenly woke up for some reason, opened his eyes in a daze, his mind was in a state of confusion.

"Master, what time is it? Why is it so bright outside?"

He was in a daze as if he was talking in his sleep. As soon as he finished speaking, his whole bamboo body bounced up and shouted loudly, "Not good! I overslept!"

A piece of dogtail grass lightly patted on his head.

"It's still early, go to sleep."

Xue Si coaxed softly, Xue Wendi really calmed down, lay down slowly, and fell asleep again.

He didn't wake up quietly until the moon was in the middle of the sky.

The room is very quiet, as far as the eye can see, there is only a pale moonlight shining on the neatly stacked books on the table.Xue Wendi lay quietly, Xue Si's breath was close at hand, if there was a faint fragrance lingering around, it was difficult for him to fall asleep.

Xue Wendi had never slept in the same room as Xue Si.

In Suochun Valley, there were two such bamboo houses.Xue Si's room was slightly larger because there were bookshelves and desks, while Xue Wendi's room was relatively simple, with almost no extra things except a bed.

I don't know if the two bamboo houses are in good condition, and if the bright moon is still looking after the snow-white pear tree in the yard for him.

Thinking about it, Xue Wendi couldn't help calling: "Master."

The sound is very soft, almost inaudible.

He closed his mouth and said no more.

Master probably didn't hear it, right?

he thinks.

After a while, a familiar voice came from above.

"Ah."

Also so quietly, as if afraid of disturbing him.

Xue Wendi was dumb, not knowing whether to say a few more words.He wondered if Master was also dreaming, and also dreamed of Suochun Valley?Dreamed of those two bamboo houses and that pear tree?Or, did you also dream about him?

Xue Wendi was taken aback by his sudden thought.

"Aren't you asleep?"

Xue Si asked him lightly.

"wake up."

Xue Wendi replied, and fell into an unknown silence again.

He used to stay with his master, either practicing swords or drawing talismans. Either the master watched him grow vegetables and flowers, or the master watched him wash rice and cook.In my memory, I have never been together in the same night without words like now.

"Ah."

Xue Si's answer was still concise, Xue Wendi suddenly sat up, staring at the moonlight in front of the window in a daze.

He murmured: "Master, I kind of want to go back."

"In a few days, there is a big formation to seal the mountains in the valley, and it's easy to lose your soul when you step in now."

What Xue Si said, it's not that Xue Wendi doesn't understand, but it's hard to bear the empty, unspeakable strange emotion in his heart.

"Master, I seem to be a little lonely."

He said, he had never experienced this kind of emotion, it was so strange that he couldn't find the right words to describe it, "Or, a little lonely?"

He couldn't understand, and then he became depressed: "Master, can you understand? It would be great if you could understand."

Xue Si remained silent, Xue Wendi was even more depressed.

Suddenly, a silver thread wrapped around his waist and hooked him over.When she came back to her senses, Xue Wendi was already lying on Xue Si's chest under the warm blanket.

"The moon is the light of my hometown, and it should be the time of loneliness."

Xue Si's warm palm gently covered the bamboo body.

Xue Wendi's complex emotions became more and more intense. He was eager to express it, but he didn't know how to express it.

He asked, "Master, can I talk to you?"

"Ah."

"Are you sleepy?"

"not sleepy."

The moonlight was trapped outside the small window, and Xue Wendi seemed to be trapped by this warm embrace, unable to escape.

He asked: "Master, don't you teach your disciples how to do magic?"

"Since you practice swordsmanship, you need to let go of the law of immortality. Otherwise, learning too complicated will be a drag."

"But I see that Master Fu is hardworking and has excellent character. There is no harm in learning more."

"There is more than diligence, but not enough understanding, let alone."

"He's still young, with more guidance, he'll be a master."

"He is 19 years old, and in four months, he will be crowned champion."

Xue Si said in a deep voice, "When you were his age, you could already use your sword to circle around the closed mountain formation."

Xue Wendi was silent.

After a while, he asked again: "What about Junior Brother Shi Wei? I think he is quite enlightened."

"It's not as good as Fu Ji's hard work. It's hard to set your mind and take on a great cause."

Xue Wendi frowned: "What about Junior Brother Cao and Junior Brother Zhang?"

"At the age of 17, I'm a bit playful, let's talk about it later."

Xue Wendi let out a long sigh: "Then don't I have a lot to teach them?"

"You will inherit the mantle of being a teacher in the future, lock the spring valley and inherit the heavenly veins for me, and inherit the way of immortality. It's time to keep your eyes open now, so as not to be deceived in the future."

Xue Wendi was momentarily at a loss for words.

Xue Si said again: "The way of swordsmanship and the way of immortality are similar in origin, but they are different after all. The preaching and teaching needs to be different from person to person. Either you give him all the knowledge, or you are teaching apprentices. Do you understand, Xiaolou?"

"Yes, my disciple understands."

As Xue Wendi talked, he didn't know if it was because the bed was too warm or because he was tired, so he yawned again.Just as she was about to close her eyes, she suddenly struggled to get up again, Xue Si was a little surprised, so she let go: "What's wrong?"

"Men and men can't accept kisses!"

Xue Wendi blushed, rolled out of the bed, and fell back to his place. The little quilt covered his head, pretending that he didn't hear anything, and pretended to be asleep in a muffled voice.

"That's Master being a hooligan, I apologize to you."

Xue Si said very sincerely, "Forgive Master, please?"

How could Xue Wendi stand against it?He replied in a low voice: "It's my fault."

I shouldn't have such extra thoughts.

The moonlight is like water, it's really annoying.

But the more annoying thing is yet to come.

Those juniors who were punished by Xue Si to go to the kitchen to chop firewood did not give up their research on Xue Wendi.Especially Shi Wei, after thinking about it for three days and three nights, trying to figure out where the dark green fog came from, he became even more determined to get to the bottom of it.

"No, that thing is too evil, I must ask Master for a lesson or two."

Shi Wei threw down a bundle of firewood, and stood at the kitchen door with his hips akimbo, walking from east to west, and then from west to east, with an anxious look scratching his heart.

Cao Ruoyu came out with a bucket of washing water, and fell to the ground with a "wow--" "Senior brother, don't worry about it. Since the master said he has a way, it is definitely not something we can get involved in. It's better to do something more." One less thing!"

Fu Ji also came out of the house with a few wet rags in his hands: "Master will naturally say what he wants to say. Let's live in peace for a few days and wait for him to tell us."

"Master's attitude that day was clearly perfunctory for us."

Shi Wei frowned, "I just can't figure it out. Master has never been a domineering person. Why did he see that pile of bonfires and say we set fire to the mountain? If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. Don't let that ghost bewitch the master." eyes!"

As soon as these words came out, except for Fu Ji, Cao Ruoyu and Zhang He all pricked up their ears.

"Third senior brother, what do you say?"

"Didn't you hear that? Under the protection of the thick fog, the evil spirit smiled at me several times. That voice is so cheap!"

Shi Wei added fuel and vinegar with a ferocious face, exaggerating, and Xue Wendi, who had nothing to do in the bamboo house and was playing on the bed, suddenly rolled down and fell to the ground like a green onion.

"Which little thing is speaking ill of me behind my back?"

Xue Wendi got up, picked up a small bamboo stick, and drew a map on the ground.

The target points southeast.

Xue Wendi pondered for a moment, then carried the bamboo sticks on his back, and walked out the door in high spirits.

Xue Siben was watering the pandan in the courtyard, and when he noticed him coming out, he asked softly, "Where are you going?"

"southeast."

"That's the kitchen."

Xue Wendi stopped, as if hesitating.

"Those juniors of yours probably don't give up."

Xue Si pursed her lips, seeming to be smiling, "Give me the bamboo stick, it's not good for you to bring such a murder weapon."

"How is this a murder weapon? It's obviously my new saber!"

Xue Wendi was joking, and even pretended to dance a few times.

Xue Si raised the corner of his mouth: "I heard that grasshoppers jump the most happily after autumn."

Xue Wendi lowered his face, pretended to be angry, threw the bamboo stick, and shouted: "Forget it, I can teach them with my bare hands, don't think about what you shouldn't know."

"Ah."

Xue Si didn't stop him, and watched his big apprentice jump out of the door alive, gently took off a piece of orchid grass leaf, put it on his lips, and silently recited a heart-cleaning mantra, then turned his fingers slightly, and the piece of orchid grass leaf flew out, Clinging to Xue Wendi's back.

The other party also noticed it, but never stated it.
