After being pulled up by the master

This night, the mountains and rivers are far and wide, and the stars are low.

Apart from answering his three questions, Shi Gu didn't say much, and told him to go back to sleep first, and come back to find himself at this time tomorrow.Xiaoyu thanked her, saluted, and left quietly.

In the long pavilion, the three of them were still sleeping soundly.Xue Wendi held the long sword in his arms, as if he hadn't woken up.Xiaoyu walked back to the original position, looked at him for a while, and finally put on his clothes and fell asleep.

The bonfire was smaller, and the soft halo receded from Xue Wendi's skirt to the hem of his robe.

He opened his eyes silently, squinting at Shi Gu who came back silently not far away.The other party seemed to gesture to him, but the night was dark and he couldn't see clearly.

Xue Wendi was actually awake. He knew that Xiaoyu had gone to the stream, so Shi Gu's sentence "I don't think so" was not all a temptation.He hid in the woods at that time, listened to their conversation, and went to sleep before Xiaoyu came back.

Xue Wendi was not in a good mood, and it was the first time in more than ten years that he was in an indescribably bad mood.He is indeed unaffected by wind and rain, but he is not afraid of wind and rain. Even if he is regarded as the proud son of heaven, he has never been arrogant, conceited, and has never belittled Xiaoyu because of his background.

But why, the person Xiaoyu chooses is Shi Gu, who came out halfway, and not him?

Xue Wendi couldn't understand this question, could it be that he didn't teach well?Even if he loses to Shi Shi in today's competition, but the future will be long, and when he reaches that age in cultivation, it is not certain who will win.

The more Xue Wendi thought about it, the more unhappy he became, and an inexplicable anxiety surged up from the depths of his heart, making him sleepless.

He got up at last, lit a fire, and sat still.Xiaoyu seemed to have fulfilled a wish, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised in his sleep.Xue Wendi looked at him, and the restlessness in his heart suddenly dissipated, and turned into a kind of grievance.

"Why didn't you tell me anything? Did I treat you badly? Why did you ask someone else to teach you?"

Xue Wendi was disgruntled, stretched out his hand and gently scratched his nose, "Bad guy."

The little fish didn't wake up, it was quiet.

Xue Wendi withdrew his hand and sat in silence until dawn.

Sun Xuehua got up very early as usual, and saw Xue Wendi sitting with a melancholy face, holding a branch in his hand, gently fiddled with the burned out bonfire.

Sun Xuehua also knew a little about last night's situation. He noticed Xiaoyu and Xue Wendi's departure, but he didn't know the details.Right now, his friend looked lonely, he walked over and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Xue Wendi looked up at him, thinking that the other party was on par with him, with similar age and experience, and even this person had a calmer personality, with no expression change all year round, so he probably wouldn't understand his mood.Since you don't understand, speaking out will only increase your troubles.

Xue Wendi pursed his lips, frowning, but Sun Xuehua didn't force it.

They tacitly chose to conceal this matter.

Xiaoyu didn't know.

Since then, he has embarked on the path of practicing following Shi Gu.

Shi Gu's swordsmanship has no rules and seems to be a mixture of hundreds of schools, but after careful experience, he has his own school.Of course, these are things for later.At that time, Xiaoyu couldn't even stop him with one move, and was even pierced in the chest in the first night.

The pain returned to the pain, but he did not die, and the wound healed quickly as before.

"You have one advantage, you won't die." Shi Gu took a sip of his wine and smiled, "Come again."

Xiaoyu stared at his blood-stained skirt in a daze, and received a solid sword from the opponent, staggering and rolling to the ground.

"Distract, find a fight."

Shi Gu's sword approached, Xiaoyu said softly: "Sir, I only have two clothes, this one is broken, I can't explain it to Xiaolou."

"Huh? Are you afraid that he will find out that you asked me to practice swords?" Shi Gu grinned and smiled viciously, "Then I don't care, I'm only responsible for teaching you, and you can figure out the rest."

After saying that, the saber in his hand struck again, and Xiaoyu had to fight.

Then, he was beaten and rolled straight on the ground, his hair was all loose, and the hair tie fell out of nowhere.

"What are you afraid of?"

Shi Gu stared at him with fierce eyes, like a lone wolf hunting in the dark, sending a dangerous signal to his prey, "Be timid, when will you beat me?"

Xiao Yu couldn't even hold the sword in his hand.

Shi Gu borrowed it from him, saying that he got it in exchange for two jars of wine and a blacksmith's craftsman.The man laughed at his old-fashioned wooden sword, at his fragility, at his vulnerability.

Xiaoyu panted heavily, and wiped the blood from his face: "Come again."

He said solemnly.

He was disgraced and bloodied until dawn.Shi Gu put away his sword and asked with a smile, "What did you gain tonight?"

Xiao Yu rubbed the blood on his clothes, but didn't respond.

Shi Gu snapped his fingers, and a gust of wind swept over his body, removing all the dirt and even repairing the large and small holes on it.Xiaoyu looked up in surprise, but the other party just smiled: "It's an illusion."

He paused: "I'll only do this once, starting tomorrow, you have to do it yourself."

As he said that, he pulled away and left, Xiaoyu hurriedly shouted: "Sir, I didn't see clearly just now, can you—"

"cannot!"

Shi Gu went to drink.

Xiaoyu was stunned, and lowered his head to find his own headband, which was the only one that Xue Wendi gave him.However, during the fight, changes frequently occurred, and the hair tie had long since disappeared.The more Xiao Yu searched, the more anxious he became, sweating profusely on his forehead.

At this moment, a familiar figure appeared in front of him.

"Looking for this?"

The hairband was impressively held in Xue Wendi's hand.

Xiao Yu froze, feeling embarrassed to be bumped into a secret, he even hesitated and didn't pick it up.

Xue Wendi frowned, and the emotions that had been suppressed all day suddenly broke out: "Don't you want it? If you don't want it, I will take it back."

Xiaoyu panicked and grabbed his hand: "Yes."

Xue Wendi didn't let go, and stared at the man fixedly.Cold palms, pale lips, and an abnormal blush on his face.

He seems to be ill.

Xue Wendi's eyebrows relaxed, and his heart softened: "Why do you have to embarrass yourself? Can't you learn from me?"

Xiao Yu pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "That's good, but it's too slow."

He lowered his eyes and looked at the toes of his shoes, completely unaware of Xue Wendi's increasingly ugly expression.

"I was afraid of hurting you, so I wanted to teach you slowly."

But you actually dislike me now?Xue Wendi swallowed the last sentence, feeling very uncomfortable.

Xiaoyu was silent for a moment, seemed to take a deep breath, and then slowly replied: "I also want to fight swords with you, just like Xiaoxue."

Xue Wendi was puzzled: "Why do you want to compare with Xiaoxue? He is an inexhaustible genius in Linyuan, you don't want to compare with him, as long as you improve a little every day, no one will force you, and no one will look down on you because of this. you."

He thought Xiao Yu was hurting his self-esteem, that's why he worked so hard.

But the other party raised his eyes and smiled bitterly: "Do you think I can't compare to him?"

Xue Wendi was speechless for a while.He can feel that Xiaoyu is very depressed now, but this is indeed the truth.

"I, you, you are different." Xue Wendi didn't know how to answer, "He is very powerful, much better than you, that's right. But, it doesn't matter if you are not powerful, I will always be with you Yes, I can protect you."

"I don't need you to protect me." Xiaoyu let go of his hand quickly, "Return the hairband to you, I'll go back first."

As he said that, he turned around and was about to leave, Xue Wendi grabbed him: "I'll tie your hair first."

"no need."

Xue Wendi paused for a long while, then walked around in front of him clutching his sleeves, glaring at him slightly angrily: "What's wrong with you? You have to explain to me today."

Xiaoyu also looked at him, there seemed to be a cluster of light dancing in his eyes, all emotions were hidden under the light and shadow, and he couldn't see clearly or clearly.

"I don't understand."

Xiaoyu is telling the truth, he doesn't know what's wrong with him, he just doesn't want to see Xue Wendi get close to others, but can he say that?Absolutely impossible, what position does he have and what qualifications does he have to say these words?He liked him very much, but could he lock this person by his side just for this reason?

Xiaoyu thought of his parents, the blood moon that day, and the big python that swallowed his mother's body and swam towards him.

His father whispered in his ear: "My child, are you afraid?"

Xiaoyu was very scared, he couldn't stop crying, and the other party sneered: "Don't be afraid, when you grow up, you will become like your father. We are demons, the more we love someone, the more we want to kill her." Swallow it into your stomach, so that we can never be separated."

It was a nightmare, and he didn't want to be trapped in it again.

Xiaoyu watched Xue Wendi silently, and gently pulled his hand away: "I'll go back first."

Xue Wendi was visibly angry. He threw the hair tie on the opponent and left without looking back.

Xiaoyu stood for a while, then bent down silently to pick up the hair tie, brushed off the dust on it, and put it in his arms.

They haven't spoken since then.They each do their own thing, one is more silent than the other.

Gu Qing saw that something was wrong with them at a glance, and ran to ask Xue Wendi: "Xiaolou, what's the matter with you and Xiaoyu?"

"It's nothing." The other party was depressed, twirling the bamboo flute in his hand twice, and then glanced at a sleepy person not far away, feeling even more depressed.

Xiaoyu has been exhausted recently, and he can fall asleep holding chopsticks while eating, and he said he was fine when asked.Xue Wendi sighed slightly, and turned his face away.

Gu Qing asked Xiao Yu again, but the other party didn't say anything.

She sighed and went to look for Sun Xuehua, her senior brother murmured: "Don't worry, I'll ask."

"But they don't say anything."

"Be fierce, and they will say it."

Sun Xuehua seemed to be very experienced, Gu Qing could not help laughing: "Okay, brother, go quickly, I will wait for your good news."

"Ah."

Sun Xuehua walked up to Xue Wendi and sat down, but the other side didn't even look at him, and moved to the side.

"You had a fight with him?"

"No."

Sun Xuehua paused: "There must have been an argument, why?"

Xue Wendi didn't say anything angrily: "I said there was no quarrel, it was him, it was he who ignored me!"

He lowered his voice and muttered, "How do I know the reason."

Sun Xuehua lowered his eyebrows slightly, and didn't think for too long: "You haven't taught Xiaoyu how to practice swords these two days, but he still looks very tired."

He seems to have come to a conclusion: "He found someone else to practice swords, so you are not happy."

Xue Wendi remained silent.

"Apart from us, the only person Xiaoyu knows who can teach him is Senior Shi."

Sun Xuehua blinked, "I think it's good for Xiaoyu to ask Senior Shi for advice, at least it's very suitable for him."

Sun Xuehua looked at Xue Wendi, who was still unmoved, and said: "Xiaoyu is not like us who have practiced since childhood, specializing in his own mentality. If he wants to improve, he has to learn from his predecessors who have mixed a variety of movements. Get dialed in."

Xue Wendi's lips moved slightly, but he was still defeated: "I don't understand the truth? But, but he always hurts himself all over the body, he doesn't eat, he doesn't sleep, he, he still—"

Xue Wendi scratched his hair in boredom: "I don't want him to get hurt, and I don't want him to go to someone else, but he thinks I'm meddling, and he even thinks I'm laughing at him. He said he hopes to be able to fight swords one day, like you Like me, I told him, don't force yourself, just take your time, but he just wouldn't listen."

As Xue Wendi talked, he was completely discouraged: "What do you think I should do? I'm getting bored to death."

Sun Xuehua's expression was subtle: "If what you said is true, then I probably know why."

"why?"

"You like him, and he likes you."

Xue Wendi's heart beat faster suddenly, but he said, "That's right, even if I like him, he must also like me. I treat him so well and he has no reason not to like me."

Sun Xuehua asked again: "Then I treat you very well, do you like me?"

Xue Wendi was taken aback: "You are different from him."

"Why is it different?"

Xue Wendi was silent, and said after a long time: "I think he is very good-looking and cute."

"I know, I said he was ugly, but you still quarreled with me."

Xue Wendi choked.

Sun Xuehua seemed to be smiling, but the smile was too shallow, only for a moment, in a trance, Xue Wendi thought he had misread it.

"Don't you think I'm pretty, I'm cute?"

Xue Wendi seriously suspected that Sun Xuehua was making fun of him, so he slapped him on the shoulder: "I don't think there is something wrong with you."

"The book says that your liking is not the kind of friendship between you and me. Your liking for him is the kind of long-lasting love that will be married in the future."

Xue Wendi was taken aback when he heard this, and then his face flushed red at a speed visible to the naked eye: "You, you, you..."

"Me?" Sun Xuehua was a little confused.

"Why do you seem to understand it?" Xue Wendi was ashamed and annoyed, his whole body was hot like a boiled crab, but Sun Xuehua was very calm: "I told you, it's written in the book."

"You are holding a sword in Linyuan, what kind of books are you reading!"

"There are all kinds of things in the world, and what you love is a serious book. You like him, and he likes you. What's the matter? Love is a part of human nature."

Xue Wendi pursed his lips: "What else did the book say?"

"I also said that if you like someone, you will have possessiveness, more or less." Sun Xuehua thought about it seriously, "However, the most important thing is that when you meet so many people, you only think he is cute."

"He still smells good, and I dreamed about him one night." The more Xue Wendi thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong with him, and "I have nothing to love" was written all over his face.

It's over, he's over.

Sun Xuehua also sighed: "Don't worry too much, the boat will go straight when it reaches the bridge."

Xue Wendi was silent for a moment, then suddenly leaned over and asked him in a low voice: "Xiaoxue, are the books you read reliable?"

"uncertain."

Xue Wendi and Sun Xuehua had a fight.

From one end to the other, Gu Qing couldn't stop it.

Shi Gu came back with Xingu wine, saw this scene, and smiled, "It's nice to be young."

The author has something to say:

Some people looked like Lin Yuan was holding the sword, but in fact they were always eating melons.

The new year is coming, babies!Happy New Years Day everyone!Happy new year!
