refuse to be a teacher

When he gave such an order, the boy was not crying at first, but now he made his whole body tremble, and burst out crying again on the spot, with dirty snot and tears covering his face in an instant.

The beggar mother was also afraid of causing trouble, and while slapping the child's little hand holding the hairpin tightly, she hurriedly scolded: "Give it back to others, return it to others quickly!"

The boy was still crying, endlessly, Xue Lan was even more embarrassed because of her big head, and on the other hand, she couldn't do anything.At this time Cheng Bi was beside him, elbowed him hard, and said in a low voice, "It's just a hairpin, I just give it to others, and I can carve another one myself tomorrow?"

Because Xue Lan's face was blue, she couldn't understand with ten mouths: "No, I bought that for..."

"Don't be stingy, give it to him, use it to play."

Cheng Bi usually has a wooden temper, but he is rare and gentle when he treats children.At that time, he bent over and leaned forward, gently wiped away the tears on the boy's face with a handkerchief, and coaxed carefully one after another: "Don't cry, don't cry, the hairpin is for you, just for you..."

The beggar's mother is also considered to be grateful, and she has no ability to repay her at this moment, so she can only nod her head in gratitude.Both of them looked grateful to Cheng Bi, but it seemed that Xue Lan was stuck in the middle and it was difficult to be a human being. He didn't give it for a while, and he didn't give it. Here, I'll give you whatever you want!"

Cheng Bi smiled and said, "I'm so angry with you, what a big deal!"

"Success." Xue Lan said awkwardly, "In the future, when you buy things for your daughter-in-law, you will also give them to beggars as toys."

Cheng Bi: "You..."

The two were still waiting to fight, but Yi Shangxian who was behind him refused to wait any longer, raised his voice, and called out coldly: "...Are you going to go or not? The matter is over, go back earlier!"

After Cheng Bi heard this, he quickly stood up and nodded in agreement.The two brothers and sisters left the beggar mother and child, and immediately followed Yi Shangxian's footsteps to Changxingju.

Before leaving, Xue Lan was still not finished, so she turned back and said to the little boy: "Now I have the hairpin for you, it should have been a gift for my daughter-in-law. When you grow up, don't learn to fight with robbers." Same, always looking for things in other people's hands to grab!"

The little boy couldn't understand at all, so he blinked and stared at Xue Lanyin's face with a pair of black eyes.In fact, Xue Lan still had a lot of things to say to him because she was very unhappy, but Cheng Bi felt ashamed, and quickly dragged him back before he could open his mouth.

The three of them walked slowly, carrying large and small bags of cotton-padded clothes and bedding, walking in a narrow alley not far from Chang Xingju.

Cheng Bi's face was as sweet as honey when he did a good deed just now, the only thing he felt a little guilty about was causing his master to waste his money for nothing.

Fortunately, Yi Shangxian also thinks that he is good at teaching disciples, so he doesn't think it's a pity to spread money. Instead, he rarely praised and said to Cheng Bi: "Good job, saving people from fire and water should be a long journey." The accusation that should be fulfilled."

Cheng Bijing couldn't boast, especially after Yi Shangxian's words, his whole face was like a flower blooming, not to mention how brilliant it was.

Because Xue Lan was walking beside him at that moment, she felt as if she was going to go blind.But on the one hand, it's very unpleasant to think about it. There are two masters and apprentices. You compliment me and I laugh happily. Because Xue Lan is caught in the middle by himself, he looks particularly lonely and desolate.

Whenever this happened, he especially wanted to throw himself into the arms of his master and keep rolling and spitting at him.

But now he is not only unable to show off, but the gift that he thought to please the master was snatched by others for nothing, and he was in a terrible mood.

"You save people from fire and water." Xue Lan said, "Who will save me from fire and water?"

Cheng Bi turned his head to look at him, and said straightly: "Small, didn't your master teach you to do more good deeds to accumulate virtue?"

——I really haven’t taught it.

Xue Lan was momentarily speechless, so she could only show a suffocated expression on her face.

Coincidentally, at this time, Yi Shangxian who was on the side also said lightly: "...You have to know that when the Lingtai Yijian Sect was first established, their head almost gave up everything they had in their hands. Financial resources and family business, to help the homeless refugees inside and outside the town of Guli. Today, why is the reputation and prestige of the Lingtai Yijian Sect in the Jianghu constantly growing, and finally sits at the head of the famous family? Lofty status—it is precisely because they have done mostly good deeds with a clear conscience in the past hundred years, lived up to the expectations of the people, and were respected in every way."

Cheng Bi listened very seriously, while Xue Lanyin kept his eyes closed and was absent-minded.

"Changxingju has been personally assisted by Sword Master Fengai for many years, and the beliefs he has always advocated and upheld have many overlaps and similarities with the Lingtai Yijian Sect." Yi Shangxian's expression remained unchanged, but his voice gradually became more serious A little bit, "Cheng Bi, since you have entered my long journey, as the only direct disciple under my sect - the heart of justice and compassion that you have always cherished must not be easily lost."

"...No matter what happens in the future, don't increase evil thoughts in vain, and don't want to wantonly kill evil."

What he said really didn't make sense.Cheng Bi was gentle and kind-hearted, so he couldn't understand it well. He frowned and thought for a long time, and finally managed to force out a sentence: "Disciple...be taught."

It was Xue Lanyin who seemed to hear something, but his brain was obviously not enough.In addition, he really didn't want to ask other people's masters to make things clear, so he simply squinted his pair of dull peach blossom eyes, looked up at the sky, and basically said nothing all the way.

It was not long before the beginning of winter, and the weather in the southern region was extremely cold and humid, but the cold wind was dry and sharp. Even the color of the sky was gray and gray, and it was dyed into a pale white with no warmth.

Because Xue Lan is not used to the climate in the south that is always capricious, he guesses that Yan Jue is probably not used to it either.The two had lived in the North Territory for a long time before, and they often sat side by side on the kang, drinking tea and eating melon seeds, with a soft pillow under the seat, and a single piece of clothing was enough to keep them warm, and their lives were very comfortable and moist.

But the Southern Territory is completely different.For a person like Yan Jue who is afraid of the cold and prone to body cold, it’s fine to have three floors inside and three floors outside.

So, with a big wave of his hand, Xue Lan bought a total of three for his daughter-in-law.It is expected that after he came out of retreat, he would be shivering from the cold, but due to his face, he would probably choose to keep silent.

The quilt and fox fur were also brand new and just bought. Xue Lan hid her things in the house and covered them tightly because she paid for it herself, so she was afraid that the bastard Cheng Bi would see it and use it to benefit the whole street with kindness. beggar.

Everything was well prepared, just waiting for the day when Yan bullied himself out of customs.In fact, Xue Lanyin didn't really dare to believe the five days he had set for himself. At the same time, because he was afraid that Yan Jue would be affected by his over-eagerness, Xue Lanyin didn't even dare to squat in front of his door again.

In the days without a daughter-in-law, he would spend his days reading books, copying scriptures, and one more thing—waiting for the news from the pillow.

It is also strange to say that since the pillow never returned this time, since the day he left, he has completely fallen into a stalemate of no news.

At first, Xue Lan was worried that he would be caught by Wen Pianhong, but later she found out that in the large area from Guli Town to Lingtai Mountain, there were no less than five spymen sent by Changxingju.That is to say, once there is any abnormal situation from the other side of the pillow, Yi Shangxian can understand it clearly.

But it's a pity that he doesn't keep any details in his work, and ordinary people can't predict his whereabouts as they wish.

It's not that Xue Lan hadn't thought about it in other directions, and even guessed that he died, evaporated from the world, and was assassinated—and even more outrageous, it's not impossible to say that he fled back to the Baiwu tribe in the Northern Territory along the way.

It's just that these are things for later.Xue Lan hadn't taken the time to think about these things in detail - after five days, there was almost no warning, and Yan Jue left the customs as scheduled, fulfilling the promise he had made with his own mouth.

Xue Lan never thought that he would leave the customs so soon.That day, by the banks of the Huoshui River, as if deliberately welcoming his arrival, the first heavy snow fell in the winter.

There are countless ponds of various sizes in Changxingju, and in this way, they froze like life.

Cheng Bi volunteered, and early in the morning, with a big shovel in his arms, he ran to the corridors of the backyards to clean up the snow.With a look of disdain on her face, Xue Lan simply sat cross-legged on the edge of the pond holding a fishing rod, staring silently at the ice surface in a daze.

Cheng Bi asked him: "...what are you doing?"

Xue Lan said, "Fishing."

"Boring." Cheng Bi said, "It's winter, where do you get the fish?"

Because Xue Lan didn't turn her head back, she just wanted to say a few words to deal with him casually, when suddenly a soft and cold male voice came from behind, rippling in the snow, so low that it was almost inaudible.

"...who said there were no fish?"

Because Xue Lan froze all over, she really thought there was something wrong with her ears.However, when he turned around, he saw a thin figure standing at the corner not far from the corridor, his warm eyes seemed to have a hint of snow-capped coolness.

Then Xue Lanyin went crazy.The fishing rod was thrown to the ground with a slap, and when I turned around to catch it, it slammed into the person's arms hard.

At that time, Cheng Bi was also dumbfounded. Seeing Xue Lanyin chasing from the edge of the pond to the end of the corridor like a mad dog who lost his mind, he hugged the person down the corridor with a last gulp, and almost killed him completely. Knead the bottom together.

Cheng Bi raised his head suddenly in shock, only to glimpse a slender and slender figure of a person from a distance, his back was facing the endless cold white trails all over the sky, almost melting into one place with the interlaced and overlapping fresh snow.

That is the master that Xue Lanyin has been thinking about from the beginning to the end——Yan Jue.
